Mu Yirong asked the drunkard Ah San if he saw the man hanging in the air landing?

The drunkard Ah San nodded sincerely, and Mu Yirong then asked, "After that person landed, did he make any sound?"

The drunkard Ah San blinked, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head in confusion: "The little one was frightened at the time, and I can't remember it clearly." ”

Mu Juezhi didn't understand what Mu Yirong's purpose was in asking this, but he still helped to ask the question, so that the drunkard Ah San could think about it, didn't the person snort or scream for help when he fell from mid-air?

The drunkard Ah San straightened up, thought seriously for a while, and shook his head to indicate that he didn't seem to hear any sound from the man.

Mu Juezhi asked the drunkard Ah San if he was sure, and the drunkard Ah San nodded, saying that it was very windy that day, and he only remembered hearing the whistling wind, as if a ghost was crying. Immediately afterward, he saw the scene of the elm monster harming people, so he remembered it vividly.

Mu Yirong pinched his chin and fell into contemplation, Mu Juezhi still didn't believe in any ghosts and gods, and when he approached Mu Yirong, the drunkard Ah San couldn't find the north that night, and nine times out of ten he was dazzled and wrong.

Seeing Mu Yirong and Mu Juezhi talking to each other, the drunkard Ah San asked the two with a nervous face, did something happen to the person who was sucked into the tree by the elm monster that night?

The drunkard Ah San became more nervous the more he spoke, crying with a sad face, the Tao is indeed a victim of the elm monster, and it has nothing to do with him, please don't pull him to blame.

Mu Juezhi glared at the drunkard Ah San angrily: "You don't ruin my reputation, when did the county lieutenant ever do the trick of pulling people to take the blame?"

The drunkard Ah San hurriedly bowed and apologized, and slapped himself twice, saying that he was stupid and couldn't speak, and asked Mu Juezhi to forgive him.

"Do you see what that elm monster looks like?"

Seocho didn't care who the victim was, he just wanted to know if the so-called elm monster was really like the people in Liu's mansion preached.

Mu Yirong has a set of procedures for visiting Dali Temple, in the past, when he took Hou Hu and Hou Monkey to visit, he asked people, Hou Hu and Hou Monkey would never interrupt, but now his thoughts were interrupted by Ruicao, and suddenly he stimulated a certain line in his brain, and it was connected all of a sudden.

Mu Yirong smiled and asked Ruicao, "Are you in a hurry to go back for lunch?"

Seocho only cared about the elm monster, but it was true that the two elm money buns just now had hooked out the worms in her stomach and wanted to go back to eat early.

So, she nodded sincerely.

Mu Yirong smiled and teased that Ruicao's official errand was really too "qualified", and then looked at the drunkard Ah San: "As the female pavilion chief asked, can you see what the monster on the tree looks like?"

Han Xiangzi, a green swordsman who was very interested in the elm monster, also hurriedly stepped forward, and his crooked crescent smile eyes showed excitement and hope: "Yes, yes, yes, tell me quickly, what does the elm fairy look like, but it is charming and moving?"

The drunkard Ah San seemed to be unable to bear to hit the green swordsman Han Xiangzi, avoided his hopeful gaze, and swallowed his saliva: "On the night when I was young, I clearly saw that the monster on the elm tree, wearing a green robe, had a blue face, his eyes were glowing with a faint green light, and his legs were hooked upside down on the trunk of the tree, sucking a person into the air and ingesting essence. ”

Ah San, a drunkard who was trembling, suddenly came to his senses when he described the appearance of the elm monster, as if he was possessed by the storyteller, and he spoke eloquently, with an exaggerated and hideous expression, which made some timid people around him feel cold down his spine, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The drunkard Ah San finally emphasized again and again that the elm monster's green eyes seemed to be frozen in his mind, and I am afraid he will never forget it in his life.

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi looked at the leafy old elm tree, his eyes were full of amazement, and he sighed: "It is said that demons are born charming and moving, how can this elm monster be so ugly and terrifying, it is really disappointing, disappointing!"

The drunkard Ah San also looked at the old elm tree, his expression was gloomy, revealing unconcealed fear: "This tree is unknown, it will definitely cause disaster in the township, and it should be eliminated by the heavenly fire." ”

It seems that in response to what the drunkard Ah San said, the originally clear sky suddenly began to dim again, and the gloomy clouds and rain were about to return, and the atmosphere suddenly became more tense and weird.

The old elm tree under the thick clouds seems to poke its branches into people's dreams and lock the soul of dreams.

A thunderclap exploded violently in the air, and a bolt of lightning exploded a silver flower behind the old elm tree, instantly shattering the last line of defense in the hearts of the surrounding people, and all of them scattered in a hurry.

Mu Juezhi wanted to bring the drunkard Ah San back to the yamen for interrogation, but Mu Yirong waved his hand and said no.

The words of the drunkard Ah San can only be a reference, a reference that has no credibility, and there is no need to pursue it too much.

That night, the drunkard Ah San really saw something, because he was only the one who saw it, and it was difficult to make a correct judgment.

Perhaps, the drunkard Ah San was just drunk and mistook the swaying branches for a human figure; Perhaps, someone really fell from the tree that night, but that person may have just climbed into the tree to dig out the bird's nest or break the branches; Perhaps, someone couldn't think about it for a while and wanted to hang himself, but he was disturbed by the drunkard Ah San and fell down. And after the fact, the person who was looking for a short sight figured it out, so he didn't want to mention it again, so naturally he wouldn't spread it to the outside world.

There is even a possibility that the drunkard Ah San may have inadvertently prevented a homicide.

Some people pretend to be ghosts, disguise themselves as monsters, and try to hang someone under an elm tree in order to make the illusion that the monster kills people, but they are unsuccessful.

But maybe it worked, because the drunkard Ah San didn't know whether the person who fell from the tree was dead or alive.

The more weird and complicated the case, the more clues will be exposed, Mu Yirong asked Mu Juezhi to investigate, at the point in time that the drunkard Ah San said, were there any suspicious deaths or disappearances in Lintong County?

He wants to continue to visit and investigate on this street.

Mu Juezhi looked up at the thick sky of lead clouds, and small raindrops had begun to fall, and he was a little worried and persuaded Mu Yirong to take shelter from the rain first. When the rain stops, it's not too late to visit.

Before Mu Yirong could speak, Ruicao flattened his mouth: "Let the cattle pull the cart to work, and you have to feed the forage first." ”

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi immediately smiled and said that he and Seocho and the others hit it off at first sight, and wanted to invite Seocho and the others to have lunch together, I don't know if they are willing to appreciate their faces?

Mu Juezhi likes to make friends with the knights of the rivers and lakes, so he smiled and nodded, wanting to discuss the rumors of the rivers and lakes with the green swordsman Han Xiangzi.

Seocho also immediately raised his hands in agreement, Mu Yirong saw that Seocho, who was often expressionless, actually smiled and cracked the corners of his mouth, staring at the green swordsman Han Xiangzi with bright eyes, and muttered angrily: "If you have milk, you are a mother." ”

Mu Yirong, who laughed at Ruicao for having milk in his mouth, sat in the largest restaurant in Lintong County, and smiled and picked up the tea poured by the green swordsman Han Xiangzi: "I have heard the good name of Shaoxia for a long time, and I am really fortunate to be able to meet today." Thank you for the banquet of the young man, replace the wine with tea, borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and toast you with a cup. ”

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi accepted a cup of tea with a smile, said that he was not happy without wine, and called Xiao Er to serve wine.

Mu Yirong hurriedly waved his hand: "I am on official business, it is inconvenient to drink, the young man is kind, we have it." ”

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi smiled and said a pity, and then said that when he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely not get drunk with Mu Yirong and the others.

Mu Yirong smiled and praised the green swordsman Han Xiangzi for his boldness, and took the opportunity to ask the green swordsman Han Xiangzi if he came to Tong County just for the rumors of the elm monster?

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi smiled and squinted, nodded, and began to talk about brothers and sisters with Mu Yirong and the others very familiarly.

"Brother Yirong, I won't tell you, I like the theory of gods, ghosts and demons very much, and I want to emulate Dong Yong, Xu Xuan and others, so that I can win the favor and affection of goddesses and fairies, and start a vigorous and earth-shattering love affair with ghosts and gods, and it is not in vain to be a person in this life!"

Mu Juezhi's eyes were full of envy, and he praised the green swordsman Han Xiangzi for being too romantic, so it was better to change his name to the romantic swordsman in the future.

He even said that if there is really a goddess and demon spirit, seeing the green swordsman Han Xiangzi who is as gentle as jade, a handsome son with both civil and military skills, he is willing to achieve a romantic relationship with him!

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi smiled and thanked Mu Juezhi for his compliment, but Seocho directly poured a basin of cold water on the green swordsman Han Xiangzi: "The goddess cultivates the Tao, she has no desires and is ruthless, how can she be greedy for red dust." And the demon will not be tempted by humans, and the demon who is interested in you must have bad intentions, but he will not care if your face looks good or not, only whether you are delicious or not!"
