Chapter 11 Establishing the Facts
The topography of Longbow is east-west, with only one main road running through the middle of the town, and theoretically there is no essential difference between the east and west sides of the town.
As Yu Jin said, the east end is closer to the mountain behind, and the chance of the monster appearing is relatively higher, but this is just Yu Jin's idea, as for whether this is the case, they don't know.
Even they wondered if there were monsters in their hearts, after all, their conclusions were really a bit ridiculous, although Longbow Town was not a major town, the feng shui here was very good.
The popularity here is also very strong, and ordinary monsters don't dare to appear in this place, and the two from yesterday may just break in by chance, and there is nothing special about it.
Yu Jin has been thinking about these problems in his heart, but he has never come to a satisfactory conclusion, so far they know very little, although the longbow is very long, Lu Jin and the two are not mortals after all, and they will arrive soon.
Longbow Town is generally very rich, but it is inevitable that the more you go to both sides, the fewer people live here, although the residents here are more closely populated than the average village.
When she was about to arrive in town, Yu Jin hadn't noticed anything abnormal, and subconsciously thought that today's trip was in vain, and at this moment, Xiao Qi suddenly grabbed her.
Yu Jin stopped, turned his head and glanced at Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi glanced at her, pointed ahead, and followed the direction of Xiao Qi's finger, Yu Jin saw two private houses, surrounded by a very low courtyard, which was already the last family.
Yu Jin glanced at it and didn't find anything abnormal, but Xiao Qi called her to stop her There must be a reason, so the two of them hid their breath and quietly approached the courtyard.
Yu Jin can see clearly, there are some vegetables planted in the yard, and there are some tools for working in the field at the door of the house, from which it is easy to see that this family should make a living from farming.
At least one-third of the population of Longbow Town is mainly engaged in farming, most of them are local residents, their ancestors have lived here for generations, they are not like those merchants, they live a good life, food and clothing are not worry-free.
They rarely have savings throughout the year, and naturally they don't have the capital to do business, but they are also happy to live such a life, working in the fields when the farm is busy, and staying at home when the farm is not working.
Many of them have never left this place for generations, and the farthest trip is to Kang County or Makuxian County and be satisfied, they are ordinary people, with no desires or worries.
Although they are a little helpless, on the whole, they are truly obedient to the destiny of heaven, and the development of Longbow Town is also very beneficial to them, at least they can take the surplus vegetables or poultry to those merchants to sell in exchange for some money.
Seeing so many outsiders every day, listening to them talk about some outside things is also very happy, if nothing accidents happen, their lives have passed like this, this is their life, whether others are used to seeing it or not, it has nothing to do with them.
The two of them walked in the corner of the wall and hidden, and they had a good sense of hearing, and they were so close that it was easy for people to hear clearly.
"Old man, I always feel that dogs are not the same as before. It was an old woman who said this, and as soon as the old woman had said this, her voice rang out again: "Well, I also think something is different, but it's a good thing." An old man's voice came out, and he coughed a few times.
When the old man finished coughing, the old woman spoke again, "I don't know if it's a good thing, after all, the child can come to see us, which shows that he is still very filial, but I always feel that it is different from the last time." ”
The old man smiled and said softly: "Old woman, don't say it, I always feel that I have returned to the way I was when I was a dog, and that feeling is so good." The old man seemed to be lost in thought.
Yu Jin could imagine that his expression must have been very happy, and then the woman laughed softly and said, "Who says it isn't, think about it, it's been more than twenty years, and time flies so fast." ”
"We must have thought too much, the dog is very filial, and the daughter-in-law is also very virtuous, what are we not satisfied with?"
"Where am I not satisfied, I just think they are more filial, you don't see my daughter-in-law talking to me like that today, her eyes are always looking at me, she is always smiling, she doesn't do anything, even her daughters are just like that. The woman's voice was noticeably louder.
"It's just that we are too careful, although we are in the same town, after all, they are in the westernmost part, and it is good to come once every two days, isn't it still us who are more filial and happy?"
The woman sighed and said, "Yes, it's just that it came a little too suddenly, and I'm really not used to it." ”
"You are the life of hardship. The two laughed when they spoke, there was nothing wrong with these conversations, but it was different when combined with today's events.
From the conversation between the old couple, it can be heard that their son and daughter-in-law have suddenly become better, they live in the westernmost part of the town, if this thing is really done by the monsters, it means one thing, those monsters are from the west of the village, they should not have arrived here.
But if it weren't for why he would say that again, Lu Jin hadn't figured it out, so Xiao Qi pulled her again and pointed to the sky in the north, and Lu Jin looked at it.
There was a burst of demon fog from the north, it seemed that they didn't want to alarm others, but there was no breath, and the demon fog soon came to the top of the courtyard, revealing two monsters from above, and one monster said: "It's all your fault, I know the news so late, and now there is only this one left." ”
The other monster was obviously a little embarrassed and smiled: "Isn't there another one? Besides, is it really useful for us to do this, we finally came out for a trip, why don't we eat them directly, and we have to spend all this effort to collect some resentment." ”
Hearing this, Yu Jin's heart moved, it seemed that the information they got was true, and the monster before said: "What do you know, this can naturally greatly improve your cultivation, it is much stronger than eating a person, and there will be no danger, and it will not cause panic, those immortals are not easy to mess with." ”
The monster in the back wanted to say something more, but was reprimanded by another, they jumped down the black fog and came to the courtyard, they were already hidden, and the monster naturally couldn't see them, but they could see the monster.
The two monsters had already been cultivated into human form, and they could not tell what kind they were from the outside, so they carefully landed in the courtyard and looked left and right, and tiptoed to the window.
Lu Jin saw that they all had a burden on their backs, except that the color was different from the two yesterday, there was no difference between the others, and the moment they saw the burden, Yu Jin was sure that what they had seen and analyzed so far was true.
The two monsters walked to the window, gently took out the baggage and put it on the window, and after a while, some black fog slowly floated out of the house and got into the baggage, and the two monsters were very excited when they saw the black fog, and almost made a sound.
When the monster took out the baggage, Xiao Qi was about to make a move, but Yu Jin stopped her, Yu Jin knew what Xiao Qi meant, and was afraid that the two people in the house would be hurt.
However, from the dialogue of the monster, Yu Jin has already heard that the monster does not mean to hurt the couple, first, Yu Jin wants to know their specific methods, and secondly, it is also to verify it, after all, this matter is too weird.
Soon the two monsters were ready, picked up their baggage and prepared to leave, and one of them said, "Since we are here, why don't we eat them, isn't it useful?"
The other looked a little angry and said, "The things have been put away, and it is useless to eat them, and maybe they will cause trouble." ”
The previous monster nodded and said, "Since there is no more here, why don't we go to the county seat, aren't there more people there?" ”
"That's not good, the people there are useless, only the people here are useful at the moment. After that, the monster didn't say anything, and Xiao Qi was very worried about the people in the house.
At this moment, the voice of the old woman came from the room again: "My son's behavior is very normal, I really don't know what we are worried about." ”
"yes, it's a bit of a fuss to talk about such an ordinary thing. With that, the lights in the room were turned off, and their attitudes changed significantly.
Now there is nothing to doubt, Yu Jin originally wanted Xiao Qi to grab the monster, but suddenly thought of one thing, yesterday those two monsters were killed by the black fog after they were caught, and it should be the same today, if you do it rashly, you won't get anything.
The two monsters flew up the black mist and flew towards the mountain again, and as soon as they left, Xiao Qi asked, "Sister, why don't you let me do it." ”
Lu Jin shook his head and said, "You forgot what happened yesterday, it's useless to do something to them, it's better to keep them." Xiao Qi pondered slightly, and understood.
Yesterday, those two monsters died in front of her eyes, and when they were about to tell important news, it was because the owner of the black mist didn't want them to reveal a lot, so he killed them, and since that person had such a plan, even if he caught them, it would be useless.
"Then what should we do?" Xiao Qi asked, Lu Jin thought for a while and said: "Let's take a look around, maybe there will be any situation, and then go back to the inn to discuss with Yu Mu and them, and then make plans, those two monsters should be in the mountains, it is easy to find them." ”
Xiao Qi smiled and nodded, Yu Jin was right, it was really easy for Xiao Qi to find a place within a radius of five hundred miles, as long as she shouted, those monsters would obediently appear in front of her.
Yu Jin knew that she had such a ability to say this, so she would let the two monsters go, Xiao Qi couldn't help but think that Yu Jin was different from her, she thought about everything very thoroughly, and her admiration for Yu Jin in her heart increased a point.
Lu Jin and Xiao Qi made another round, but did not find anything suspicious, and as the inspection expanded, they also knew that what the two monsters said was not a lie, and the entire people of Longbow Town had been sucked away by them.
Xiao Qi didn't have anything, Yu Jin could clearly feel that the aura exuded by Longbow Town was the same as that of Rui Village, and even warmer than Rui Village, which felt that it was something worth paying attention to, and the two of them didn't find any traces of monsters, so they began to walk back.
At this moment, everything is normal back and forth to the inn, it is already late at night, and there is no one in the hall of the inn, but even they dare not relax for a moment, for fear of missing something.
Ho Tian sat in front of the door, staring at the door without blinking, and Yan Yan went up and down the stairs to patrol back and forth, in short, everyone was highly vigilant, and when Yu Jin came back, they dared to relax for a moment, and Yu Jin told all the situation.
After Yu Jingang finished speaking, Lu Yan said: "How can you let them go, they have everything after they are arrested and tried in the first trial." Qiu Li and Ho Tian also looked at Yu Jin, and they seemed to agree with Yu Yan's question.
Lu Jin said: "Have you forgotten what happened yesterday, the black fog will not give them a chance to speak." Lu Yan was stunned for a moment and understood, Yu Jin's guess was probably correct.
If that's the case, it's not a good idea to catch them, not only will you not get what you want, but you will also startle the snake, Qiu Li nodded and looked at Lu Mu and asked, "What should we do now." ”
Lu Mu lowered his head and muttered for a moment: "We still don't move, the master hasn't replied yet, it must be investigating, let's wait for the results." The crowd was speechless for a moment.
