Yuchi Feng had no idea that Lin Tingjun was too lazy to continue talking because he hadn't had a drop of water or eaten any rice from morning till almost noon, and he was starving!
Lian Youyou continued casually: "Moreover, this person must have lived in the mountains for a long time, and led a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood. There is a lot of dirt in his scratches." Lian Youyou pointed to Liu Dong's dirty wound. There was a lot of dirt in the wound, and hair of an unknown animal could be vaguely seen.
Lin Tingjun looked at the dirt remaining in the wound, his sword-like brows were tightly knitted in disgust. It seemed that this person had not taken a bath for at least a year.
After hearing this, Yuchi Feng raised his big hand and slapped Liu Dong on the head: "Did you hear me? What you saw was a human! From now on, keep your mouth shut! If you keep talking nonsense and making up rumors, I'll throw you into jail!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong." Liu Dong kowtowed and bowed with an extremely sincere attitude.
When Liu Dong heard that it was a human, he had already believed it and felt relieved. Of course, he hoped it was a human. Who the hell would want to be associated with a demon? It was so evil, but it wasn't a fox spirit. He could still have some fun. A male demon? Never mind. This time, he was really scared and embarrassed.
“So it’s a human~~~~~” The villagers from the two villages finally realized what was going on and instantly became more open-minded. If it’s a human, who cares if they’re afraid of him
Yuchi Feng stood up, put down the machete at his waist, and raised his hand domineeringly: "Now, we have to go up the mountain to catch this man pretending to be a ghost. Make way!"
Immediately, soldiers from both sides stepped forward, pulled the common people to the sides, and cleared a path.
The villagers had been busy all day, putting aside all their work just to watch a special show about monsters and ghosts so that they could brag about it. As it turned out, the monster that had been scaring them for two days was actually a human. The villagers were very excited and started picking up rakes and bricks, ready to join the army to catch "monsters".
How could Guo De and Guo Gang, who had been in charge of guarding Li Xiangu, miss such a good show? They were all soldiers, and they liked to move rather than stay still. Who would be willing to guard this old lady here? It was too boring.
Guo Gang gave Guo De a look, and Guo De immediately stepped forward to Yuchi Feng's side: "Boss, what should we do with the fairy lady?"
Yuchi Feng just glanced at her, frowned, and seemed annoyed. He waved his hand and said, "Go away! Warn her, if she keeps cheating people, I will send her to jail!" After that, Yuchi Feng waved his hand, his steps were as fast as the wind, and with a wave of his hand, all the guards followed him away like the wind.
Guo De went back to Li Xiangu, who had been sitting stupidly on the ground, and kicked her.
Li Xiangu raised her face blankly.
Guo De showed his intention: "Go, go, go. Our general will let you go today. If you run too slowly, we will catch you and take you back!" After saying that, Guo De waved to Guo Gang, and the two of them also left with knives in their hands.
Li Xiangu came back to her senses. General?! Could it be General Yuchi Feng, the city garrison commander of Qinzhou Prefecture?! Of course, there is only one general in Qinzhou Prefecture! Li Xiangu jumped up in shock and ran away, leaving behind the magic props on the table.
Yuchi Feng led his troops forward and stepped out of the door. He felt something was wrong. He looked back and was shocked. What was going on with the crowd of people behind him
The personal guards all went out and mounted their horses, leaving only Guo De and Guo Gang to protect Yuchi Feng.
Yuchi Feng pointed at the villagers who were picking up weapons and said, "What are you doing?!"
"We want to help you catch the monster!" The first person standing was Liu Dong's father. "He hurt my son, I want to settle the score with him!"
"That's right! We have to catch him!"
"Catch him!"
"Catch him!"
How can they just capture him? They want to capture him and beat him up! If they can't capture him, they might even set the mountain on fire!
"What are you arguing about?!" Yuchi Feng shouted again, pointing his big hand at the villagers, "What do you want to do? What for?! Do you want to beat someone to death? Arresting people is my job! Do you have nothing to do? Are you gathering here to cause trouble?"
"Sir! My son was injured, so of course I must seek justice for my son!" Liu Dong's father was also a stubborn man. Not only was he stubborn, but he was also very arrogant. When such a man gets arrogant, even the king of heaven cannot control him.
Yuchi Feng's eyes widened as well. He had long been fed up with this rude and unreasonable person. Just as he was about to yell, Lian Youyou came in again, stood in front of him, smiled and waved, blocking him.
"Everyone, please don't get excited~~~ You have so many people going up the mountain, it will make too much noise, and the man has already run away~~" Lian Youyou's words, neither soft nor hard, calmed everyone down a lot. In addition, she was the one who solved the mystery of Liu Qiang's death, and the villagers now had some respect for her.
Precisely because of this respect, everyone had a different feeling when looking at Lian Youyou. The more they looked at her, the more comfortable they felt. The more they looked at her, the more trust they gained. She was like the statue of Nuwa in the temple, which made them feel calm just by looking at her.
Lian Youyou continued to maintain that motherly smile: "This kind of professional work should be left to a professional team. The officer behind me is the professional team! They are good at searching, and they are all superb in martial arts. One of them can defeat a hundred of you. Won't you just cause trouble if you go up there? If you can't catch anyone, how are you going to explain to your Liu Dong?" Lian Youyou looked specifically at Liu Qiang's father, the leader.
When everyone heard this, they nodded one after another. Even the arrogant and unreasonable Liu Dong's father put down his hoe in conviction.
"I think it's Liu Qiang's body..." Lian Youyou stretched her neck and pointed to the courtyard, "It should be buried immediately."
Everyone dispersed again and looked at Liu Qiang's body, which was almost buried in the soil.
Lin Tingjun had been standing aside and observing Lian Youyou for a long time. He had seen the whole process of her going from being driven away as a fool to being convinced by others. This Tai Chi-like deception reminded him of someone, the old man in their family, the real master of the Ninth Gate: Yao Canzheng, Master Yao Guangda!
"It's so hot now. If some epidemic breaks out, it will bring disaster to everyone." Lian Youyou's words brought Lin Tingjun back to his senses, and his sharp eyes fell on Lian Youyou's face.
He had a feeling that Lian Youyou had ulterior motives in asking everyone to dispose of Liu Qiang's body as soon as possible! In particular, she used such a sincere tone. The more sincere she was, the more problematic it was. This was exactly the same trick used by the old man in their family who was good at deceiving people, and even worse!
But why was she so anxious to have Liu Qiang's body buried? Although it was hot at this time, it would not be hot enough to cause an epidemic if left alone for a few days. There must be something fishy going on.
When the villagers heard the word "epidemic", they immediately became nervous and trembled. The village woman who had a child at the door also hurriedly hugged the child and took two steps back.
The plague is as fierce as a tiger, and everyone is afraid of it. This fear naturally stems from the human instinct to fear death. (To be continued)
