Chapter 182: The Truth Is Approaching
The sound of footsteps came with cold breathing, and Zhao Huan turned his head sharply and saw a blood-red sheep's head and two daggers.
The "sheep-headed ghost" is here.
Zhao Huan wanted to scream, but his voice was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't scream no matter what.
The "sheep-headed ghost" walked up to her step by step and slowly raised his hand. Zhao Huan was as helpless as a lamb waiting to be slaughtered at the moment, so he could only close his eyes tightly.
But she felt a loosening of her hand, and it turned out that the "sheep-headed ghost" had just taken the herb away.
Zhao Huan breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly remembered the meaning of this bag of herbs, if it was also taken away, this case would never be solved again.
So Zhao Huanheng had a lot of courage, and when the "sheep-headed ghost" was completely unguarded, he actually reached out and grabbed his mask.
She wants to see who the "sheep-headed ghost" is!
Zhao Huan's martial arts are low, and if he catches it head-on, he won't be able to catch the enemy if he practices for another hundred years. But this time it took a blind spot in the other party's psychology. No one could have imagined that a weak woman who was so frightened just now that she couldn't even speak would have the courage to take the initiative.
Just when her index finger touched the mask, the "sheep-headed ghost" suddenly woke up, took a step to the side, dodged as lightly as a swallow, and slashed at Zhao Huan's neck with a palm. Zhao Huan's eyes darkened, and he didn't know anything.
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Huan woke up, and Lu Heng was by her side.
She exclaimed: "Herb ......" As soon as she said two words, she realized that the only clue was lost by herself, so she shook her head gloomily: "Herb lost ......"
Lu Heng patted her shoulder: "It's okay, you can check again if the clue is broken." It's fine if you're okay. ”
Zhao Huan's face flushed: "I'...... I'm fine. By the way, how are you? What about Princess Silverbell?"
"It's all withdrawn. Lu Heng said.
"Withdrawn means ......"
"I beat him away. I don't like killing people lately, don't worry. Lu Heng smiled slightly.
Zhao Huan sighed: "I used to think that Princess Yinling was a great hero, but now I think they are a little ...... It's a little too straightforward!"
Lu Heng said: "In fact, they are also provoked by others. There's a master mixed up with their minions. This person is very good at martial arts and scheming, and a few moves will make us both fight. Nothing else is secondary, but this misunderstanding is even deeper. ”
Zhao Huan was suddenly startled: "By the way, I met the 'sheep-headed ghost' just now, and it was he who snatched the herbs." But strangely, he didn't kill me. ”
Lu Hengyi frowned: "That's strange, hasn't he always regarded us as a thorn in his side?"
"Well, I'm wondering too. Zhao Huan said, "That's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you're not by my side, it's easy for the 'sheep-headed ghost' to kill me, why is this......"
Lu Heng suddenly said: "Don't analyze, let's go back first and then think slowly." ”
Zhao Huan nodded: "Okay...... Oh, that's right!" she took out a small iron box from her body and handed it to Lu Heng.
"Look at this. ”
Lu Heng opened it and looked at it, and there was a fragrance of flowers, which turned out to be a woman's incense powder.
"What's wrong with this thing?" Lu Heng smiled, "It won't be given to me to wipe my face, right?"
Zhao Huan also covered his mouth and smiled: "Of course not." When the 'sheep-headed ghost' came to take the herb, I tried to remove his mask, and although I didn't succeed, I rubbed some of the powder on it.
This powder is custom-made by me, the taste is quite unique, and it can be used for days, so it is easy to track. I know it's going to be too hard to search the whole county, but it's better than nothing, and it's just a little clue......"
Lu Heng sniffed carefully and said, "In that case, I have to borrow a few hounds." ”
Zhao Huan said: "Okay, there are several in the county government, and I will do it for the dog." ”
However, Zhao Huan miscalculated.
Because those dogs have not been trained for a long time, they are no different from ordinary watchdogs. When he was chained around his neck, he was so horizontal that he screamed at everyone, but when the chain was loosened, he was like a rabbit, and he only dared to pick up his tail and be a dog.
The two had no choice but to look for it in the farm outside the county. Coincidentally, they really found a good one.
This dog has a thin waist and a long snout, and its eyes are blazing, making it look extraordinary.
The owner of the dog was a Qiang man, and as soon as he heard that he was going to catch the "sheep-headed ghost," he immediately offered the dog and said: "How many years have we Qiang people carried the black cauldron for the 'sheep-headed ghost'? If we can find out the real culprit, it can be regarded as returning the innocence of our people! You can use the dog, and I will admit it if it is dead!"
The two thanked each other and led the hound back to the county office.
Zhao Huan took out the incense powder and put it under its nose and let it smell it. The hound barked a few times, jumped high and low, and seemed eager to try.
The two nodded, and followed it out.
On the street, pedestrians came and went, and Zhao Huan never thought that there were so many people in this small county.
The dog sniffed left and right, seemed to hesitate, and after a long time it turned to the left and walked slowly.
Zhao Huan shook his head lightly and said: "This method is really too reluctant, isn't it a fool's dream to sniff the entire county by relying on this dog?" Not to mention that the 'sheep-headed ghost' may have fled outside the county......
Lu Heng said, "No." He didn't go. This man is arrogant, conceited, and never compromises the plans he has made. If he slips away from the county, where will he go to find sacrifices?
Moreover, in order to prove his worth, he will always stay in the county. Even if this man is not caught by us, sooner or later he will be destroyed at his own hands. ”
At this time, the hound suddenly barked, and the two looked up and smiled bitterly. It turned out that there was a rouge shop in front of him, and the strong fragrance disturbed the dog's sense of smell and made it restless.
Zhao Huan hurriedly fed it a piece of jerky and stayed away from here.
They had lost hope, but the dog seemed to be motivated again after eating the jerky, and wandered around the market again.
Zhao Huan frowned and said, "It's not going to start eating mixed rice, right?"
Lu Heng smiled: "No." You take a closer look at the route it takes us. ”
Zhao Huan was taken aback, only to find that this road was the road with the most soldiers patrolling the street and the most heavily defended.
She couldn't help but whisper: "Could it be that the 'sheep-headed ghost' is from the yamen?"
Lu Heng nodded: "It's possible." Otherwise, how dare he swagger on this road?"
Cold sweat oozed from Zhao Huan's forehead, and he said uneasily: "No wonder this person is one step ahead of us everywhere, if he is in the yamen, everything will make sense." With a little care, he will be able to control every action we take, even if he wants to assassinate or kill someone......"
She shuddered at the thought of this, and didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
Lu Heng said: "But now that we have this information, we have become an advantage. Perhaps...... "he looked left and right" before long, we will be able to meet the 'sheep-headed ghost' himself. ”
Zhao Huan couldn't help but feel nervous. The aura emanating from the "sheep-headed ghost" made her shudder. Are you really ready to face such a formidable opponent?
She looked at Lu Heng again. Lu Heng had a smile on his face, as relaxed as if he had gone on a spring outing. I really don't know what this man's soul was made of.
At this moment, the dog, who had almost reduced his speed to zero, suddenly stood up suddenly, stood up like bamboo sticks, barked a few times, and ran quickly into the distance.
Lu Heng quickened his pace and followed, but Zhao Huan couldn't outrun this person and a dog, and he was sweating profusely after a while. At this time, the dog suddenly stopped, squatted back, and sat on the ground.
When Zhao Huan saw it, he just wanted to scold. It turned out that the dog took them around and returned to the county office. If this is a human thing, Zhao Huan will definitely go up to theorize. But this is a dog, and reasoning is impossible. Maybe it's just hungry.
Zhao Huan fed the dog another piece of jerky, yawned and said, "Forget it, let's return the dog." ”
Lu Heng smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not over yet." ”
Zhao Huan said: "It's all turned back, and it's still over?"
Lu Heng shook his head: "Don't underestimate dogs, searching for prey is what they have relied on for thousands of years to make a living, and besides, this is the best among hunting dogs." Maybe we know better than we know what we do. Come, keep up with it, it's going again. This time, I'm really going to see the 'sheep-headed ghost'. ”
Zhao Huan suddenly felt a heart rise to his throat, and he was pounding. But when he saw Lu Heng beside him, the sense of security in his heart increased out of thin air.
The dog twisted and walked inside, but it turned out to be a big disappointment - it turned out that it went straight to Zhao Huan's bedroom.
Zhao Huan sighed and said, "A dog is a dog, and it is still unreliable." It's back here after all. ”
But then the hound stood up and scratched around the closet.
Lu Heng asked, "Is your incense powder in the cabinet?"
Zhao Huan shook his head: "No ......"
Lu Heng pulled out his long sword and said, "Stand back." ”
Zhao Huan also suddenly realized, picked up the dog and retreated to the back.
Lu Heng opened the cabinet door with the tip of his sword, but fortunately there was no one inside, just a false alarm.
But there was a strange package on the wooden lattice, and when Lu Heng opened it, it turned out to be a sheep's head mask with a red mouth full of fangs.
Zhao Huan was startled, sat on the ground, and exclaimed, "This ...... How did this thing end up with me?"
A strange thought rose in her mind that made her more and more uneasy. She tugged at her hair and instantly fell into an abyss of self-doubt.
Speaking of which, she really didn't appear in front of others at the same time as the "sheep-headed ghost".
The first time she shouted the words "sheep-headed ghost", the person had already entered Zhao County's room. It was night, who could see clearly, and why did they know who it was?
Not to mention the second time, no one saw any "sheep-headed ghosts" except her.
She had heard of a strange disease before, that sometimes one person had two souls in his head. These two people have absolutely different temperaments and temperaments, and they don't even know each other's existence. When one person acts, the other loses consciousness.
The two are like light and shadow, living alternately in the world.
All the while, her brother said that she was sick, and she was angry and disdainful, but never serious. But today, her faith has been shaken. Could it be that she, Zhao Huan, is a "sheep-headed ghost"?
