However, at this time, the wild boar suddenly ran over with his whole body covered. This guy couldn't bear the heat the most, so he simply threw himself into the stream, opened his mouth and drank guzzlingly, and at the same time rolled a few times in the water comfortably, enjoying the water.

Cool.

As a result, this time after the wild boar got into the water, he spit it out immediately after taking a sip. When he ran over, his eyes were full of fierceness, he kept looking around, and whispered to Lin Fengjin:

"Sir, there seems to be something strange in this water."

Lin Fengjin was shocked, and hurriedly walked to the mountain stream, dipped his finger in some, tasted it, and immediately spat it out.

Lin Fengjin's sense of taste has reached its peak. The reason why the wild boar finds this stream a little strange is because the war marks on his body can automatically take effect, making him immune to all poisons. The wild boar notices the abnormal movement of the war marks, and naturally

He hurriedly came to look for Lin Fengjin.

As a result, Lin Fengjin realized that what the wild boar said was indeed correct. He immediately took out some water and rinsed his mouth, frowning in a low voice and saying:

"It's the smell of blood, and it's not an ordinary smell of blood. It's the blood of rotten corpses that has seeped into the water. I'm afraid there has been a murder case in the mountain stream nearby. At least four or five rotten corpses were soaked in the water.

.”

At this time, Lin Fengjin called the chief steward of the Lin family next to him and whispered a few words. Then the chief steward of the Lin family called over and shouted:

"Everyone, listen up. I just received the news and forgot to mention that a lot of people around here drank raw water and got stomach upset not long ago, so don't drink raw water. You must boil it before drinking it."

At this time, the people who had just drank from the stream were called together. There were about ten people in total, most of them were members of other caravans, but there were only three guards of the Lin family caravan.

The reason for this is that the Lin family caravan has always been strictly prohibited from drinking raw water. The standard equipment for each person is one bag or two bottles.

A bag refers to a bag of spirits. Spirits are durable in storage and will not go bad. However, they are strictly prohibited from daily consumption. The reason why they are always kept on hand is because spirits are widely used and can play a big role.

.

For example, washing the wound with spirits can quickly disinfect the wound after being injured. For example, drinking a sip of it can drive away the cold when it is cold. For example, it can reduce the fever when you have a high fever. For example, it can anesthetize the wound from an arrow...

..

The two bamboo tubes are the kind of bamboo tubes made of Nanzhu, which are used to hold boiling water. Every day when eating, the caravan will ask the store to prepare boiling water. Let the caravan guards fill the kettle. At first, some people complained.

The cool and cold well water is still delicious, but after running around outside for a long time, you will naturally know the benefits.

But these three unlucky guys usually have heavy mouths, and they also ate too much pickles this morning, so they drank all the water in their own bamboo tubes, so they went to drink raw water.

After some discussion, the team stopped moving forward. They went to collect some firewood and took out the cauldron. They did not dare to use the stream water. Instead, they took the mountain spring water trickling down from the stone wall next to them and poured it in.

When going out for business, you naturally have to bring all kinds of standing medicines with you. I picked out three medicines, namely licorice, peony and honeysuckle, which can cleanse the intestines, remove dampness and remove toxins, and threw them into the pot to boil them.

After the water boiled, those who drank the raw water had to fill a large bowl with it. The rest of the people could just scoop it out if they wanted to. As a result, everyone was so bitter that they grimaced, but there was no one.

What do people say? Because everyone knows that this is for your own good. When they get back on the road, these unlucky guys can hear a "hollow" sound in their bellies when they walk around, just like animals that have just drank enough water.

.

After walking for another four or five miles on this mountain road, suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and the sweat on the body immediately stopped, and no one complained about the heat. When a few more gusts of wind blew by, someone shouted:

:

"Is this weather like a child? Is it going to change? The damn wind is blowing so bad, is it going to rain heavily?"

Most people who go out have some ability to look at the sky. When they look at the dense clouds above their heads, they immediately know that a heavy rain is brewing! There is no village on this mountain road at this time.

If you don't live near a store, if it really rains heavily, you won't even have anywhere to hide.

This group of people had just walked and were sweating profusely. They were suddenly hit by the cold rain, which forced the heat in their bodies back into their bodies. They would have to become seriously ill. Besides, although animals are more tolerant than humans, they are still exposed to these seven

The heavy rain in August is unbearable, so no matter what, we have to find a woods or something to get into.

So a group of people hurriedly set off on the road, hurrying and hurrying, seeing the black clouds in the sky getting denser and thicker. Fortunately, at this time, there were people who were familiar with the road leading the way and leading everyone there.

When we arrived at a mountain col, there was a cave with a big belly. The entrance of the cave was like a wine jar. The space inside was very spacious. It was probably the size of two or three classrooms. It was enough to shelter from the rain.

There are not only neatly arranged stones in this cave, but also traces of smoke and fire can be seen everywhere on the stone walls------These should be left by the merchants who chose to stay here overnight to boil water and cook rice.

Facing the entrance of the cave, there is a small statue of the Earth God with an old red cloth hanging on it. There are only three or five remaining incense heads in the incense burner in front of the statue of the Earth God.

A group of people drove the animals into the cave first, and when they were out, these living ancestors were sick of the disease, which was more important than the disease of humans. When humans were sick, they could grit their teeth and hold on, but if the animals were sick, who could pull this heavy cart?

Move.

Next, a group of people began to hurriedly set up tents and spread waterproof linoleum on the tents. Large convoys with hundreds of people like the Lin family caravan, even if there were hotels in some small market towns, they could not get there at all.

It can be accommodated, so there will definitely be no shortage of time to eat and sleep outside, and all these household items have been prepared long ago.

After the people in the caravan hurriedly settled everything, first there was a strong wind, and then heavy rain fell. At this time, Lin Fengjin had already frowned a little, looking at the rain outside in a daze.

, and soon called the chief steward of the Lin family over, and said in a deep voice:

"There is something fishy here. Organize people and stay vigilant at all times. I want to go out and take a look."

The chief steward of the Lin family was one of the few people who knew Lin Fengjin's true identity. Hearing this, he was shocked and said:

"Sir, it's raining so hard. You can't go out."

Lin Fengjin frowned and said:

"It's not that I don't go out, but the Chen brothers who were stationed at the front should have turned back by now. But now there is no news. If they followed their footsteps, they should have come back long ago. Something must have happened.

, I don’t go to find them, I’m afraid I’ll make everyone feel cold.”

The chief steward of the Lin family was immediately at a loss for words, but Lin Fengjin had another hidden worry that he didn't say out loud. That is, before it rained, Lin Fengjin checked the soil around the plants and found that it was extremely moist. Apparently it rained here often, and in

In Huangtu Town, the fields are all dry and tectonic. It is very abnormal that such obviously different climate changes occur in areas only thirty or forty miles apart, and the heights of the two places are about the same.

Lin Fengjin's nose was very sensitive, and he could even smell the falling rainwater. It also contained a faint bloody smell of rotting corpses! This made him even more aware that something was wrong, and this was what he wanted to go out to check.

reason.

But at this time, the head steward of the Lin family was still admonishing:

"Sir, they may have seen too much rain. They rested at the Zihe Ferry in front. There is also a small inn at the Zihe Ferry. It sells wine and meat outside, and there are three or five farmers' villages around it.

Besides, even if something happens, let the leader Yang Wu and others handle it, and you don’t need to go out."

Lin Fengjin shook his head slightly and said:

"This thing is a bit weird. I'm afraid that Yang Wu and the others won't be able to handle it. My guards are all good at bows and arrows, but they are of no use in this heavy rain, so you don't need to say more, I will leave the wild boar behind.

You just need to guard the caravan. If anything happens, just listen to the wild boar, you know?"

Since Lin Fengjin said this, the chief steward next to him could only bow down and accept the order. Lin Fengjin quietly walked to the entrance of the cave, and then slipped into the rain and fog. No outsiders noticed him, a young man with a weak sense of presence.

As for the guards of the Lin family, they naturally knew that the young master was going to pick someone up, so they wouldn't make a fuss.

The visibility of the rain was extremely low. Lin Fengjin walked out of the cave five or six feet, and pressed it slightly on his waist. The light on the Black Emperor Mirror flashed, and all the rainwater that entered two inches around Lin Fengjin was covered by a gust of water.

The invisible force was automatically released, and at the same time, Sirius in the shape of a golden armored warrior followed beside him.

At this time, walking in the heavy rain, Lin Fengjin smelled the faint smell of rotten blood in his nose, which could be said to be stronger. This can only mean one thing, that is, the rain came very strangely, and it was probably not natural at all.

formed.

In fact, there is a very mysterious connection between the topography of mountains and rivers, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, just like there is a place at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains where as long as you speak loudly, the wind will rise and rain will fall. And Lin Fengjin was in Tengshe Lake before.

Among Long Yu, there is even the experience of accidentally entering the Misty Mountains and Rivers Formation.

To be honest, in that strange formation, not to mention the sudden heavy rain after accidentally touching the formation, he has also experienced much scarier things than this!

At this time, after Lin Fengjin re-entered the official road, he seemed to be walking very slowly, but in fact he had already mastered the basics of the Jie Shen Technique. Every step he took seemed to be gliding on the muddy ground.

The road went a long way, actually faster than a galloping horse. However, Lin Fengjin only walked about three or four miles before he saw clear marks of horseshoes on the muddy road ahead. His heart moved and he immediately walked over.

Check.

"Well, according to the calculation of the Chen brothers' footsteps, it is obvious that after arriving at the Zihe Ferry, they quickly turned back and then galloped in the heavy rain..."

"And the Zihe Ferry is still a full ten miles away from here. That means that the Chen family brothers can only reach this area by turning back with all their strength as soon as they reach the Zihe Ferry. Otherwise, as long as they arrive at the Zihe Ferry

Even if we stop for a moment to catch our breath, we won’t be able to return so quickly.”

"So we can deduce that something big must have happened at the Zihe Ferry, and it seems obvious. As soon as the Chen brothers arrived, they immediately realized that something was wrong and returned immediately. They were obviously attacked while returning.

Something happened."

At this time, Lin Fengjin immediately looked around. Because the heavy rain was pouring at this time, the road was wet. The horseshoe marks of the Chen brothers could be said to be very clear, and they would not be lost at all. Lin Fengjin followed the clues and followed them.

Immediately, they discovered that walking back more than ten feet, there was a well-hidden fork in the road. The Chen brothers suddenly walked into the fork.

At this time, Lin Fengjin's doubts became more intense. The Chen family brothers could be the front-line members of the Lin family's caravan. They were already the leaders of the guards, so why would they suddenly go astray? Besides, in terms of human nature,

In this ghostly place with no village or shop, the place is unfamiliar, and it is raining heavily. Even a normal person's reaction would be to return to the caravan to rendezvous!

Lin Fengjin stood there and pondered for a moment, then walked towards the fork in the road. He was also a very brave man at this time, not to mention having the protection of Sirius. After returning home this time, he created three more heads.

Demon puppets can be summoned at any time to protect themselves, so they are not afraid of capsizing in the gutter and want to get to the bottom of things.

Soon, Lin Fengjin discovered that this fork in the road looked small and desolate. It looked similar to the woodcutter's path made by chopping wood or the path trampled by wild animals. But after walking a few more steps deeper,

, I immediately felt that there was something special inside.

Not only has the road been widened to almost the same level as the official road, but the road surface is also relatively smooth. However, it seems that this road is newly built, and the intersection may have been carefully concealed. You can see that the horse hoof marks are also particularly special.

of clarity.

After Lin Fengjin walked for more than a mile, his nose suddenly twitched, and he immediately accelerated and flew forward. His feet made a crisp sound of "tapping" and "tapping" on the ground, and then

, Lin Fengjin saw a dead horse lying stiffly on the side of the road. The horse's blood could be seen gurgling out from under the body, dyeing the ground deep red, but it was quickly washed away by the heavy rain.
