On the threshing floor of Dawangzhuang, only red embers remained from the blazing bonfire, and several people on night watch nearby were leaning over and dozing off.
They are swordsmen invited by the Wang family. They have traveled around for more than ten years. The reason why the protection is so lax is because the Wang family also brought several thin-waisted mountain dogs with them when they set out. Such hunting dogs are very alert.
, they will feel the slightest movement, and more importantly, they are definitely not like domestic dogs that will bark even when they hear a mouse crawling over. Once they make a sound, they must be targeted.
But these slender mountain dogs had already fallen into a pool of blood at this time! Their death conditions were extremely miserable, and they were very similar. Their heads were cut off alive with extremely sharp weapons, and there was even only a layer and a half of skin.
Continuously, so not even a half howl came out.
Immediately afterwards, something seemed to be surging in the darkness above the threshing floor, but if one looked closely, there was nothing but stars.
Suddenly, the breathing of the few people staying behind the convoy began to become turbid, and their whole bodies began to twitch. Soon they woke up from their sleep, but the whites of their eyes were completely rolled out, and there was a roar in their throats. Suddenly
They all struggled with each other and bit each other fiercely, like mad dogs that had completely lost their minds!!
Of course, this abnormality immediately attracted the attention of those who were asleep. Soon, a series of shouts rang out, and then they swarmed out like someone had poked a hornet's nest, and a large number of lights were lit.
The corpses in miserable death conditions immediately aroused the crowd's uproar, inducing fear, panic, and suspicion just like a stone stirs up a thousand waves...
***
The noise outside naturally woke up Lin Fengjin. He suddenly opened his eyes, but still lay motionless on the bed. After a while, he called out in a low voice:
"Lind?"
A low-pitched alert voice immediately came from outside the house.
"Master, I'm here, please don't come out rashly."
Lin Fengjin nodded, closed his eyes and continued to rest. At this time, there were eight people arranged around the house. These eight people followed Lin De's command. They slept in the carriage during the day and came here specially at night.
Stay on night duty to ensure Lin Fengjin's safety.
The commotion at this time was very strange, so Lin Fengjin would not show up. There were many traps: first causing a commotion to attract the attention of the person in charge, and then taking advantage of his appearance to kill him with one strike. Although Lin Fengjin felt that he was targeted
My possibility is very low, but of course I won’t take such a risk, so I said calmly:
"Don't call me until Wang Sanlang and Fu Yidao come out."
Not long after, another servant came over and said respectfully:
"Young master, the matter has basically been clarified. The four slender-waisted hunting dogs released by the Wang family all had their heads chopped off and died. The people on night duty on the threshing floor are all experienced swordsmen, but only
One person survived and seemed to have gone crazy. The strangest thing is that they seemed to have killed each other."
Lin Fengjin nodded slightly and said:
"Are all our people okay?"
The servant said:
"It's okay, we are not on night watch today, the only ones who will suffer are those who are keeping watch."
"I understand." Lin Fengjin said: "There are many people now. After the situation calms down a bit, Uncle Li and Lin De will bring some people to go and have a look with me. I will rest my mind first."
After about a cup of tea, Li Hu rushed over and said:
"Master, it's almost over now. The leader, Chen Dabiao, just invited me to meet, but I rejected him. If it had been a while, it would have been too late to find any clues."
Lin Fengjin climbed up from the bed, casually put on a servant's clothes and went out, then blended in with the crowd and walked out inconspicuously. Li Hu led Lin Fengjin to the threshing area first.
On the field, there was a waning moon in the sky at this time. It was around four or five o'clock in the morning. Lin Fengjin looked at the large groups of blood on the ground under the light of torches, and felt a slightly shocking feeling.
He closed his eyes and activated the mental skills of the five pregnant gods. After taking a deep breath, with the blessing of the power of the waning moon in the sky, the awakened lung spirit worked with all its strength, once again showing the mysterious and vast world of scent in the forest.
In front of Feng Jin!
Probably because the rice had just been harvested, the whole village was enveloped in a faint scent of rice, and the smell of cooking smoke was still lingering. The next thing Lin Fengjin felt most clearly was the group of servants around him.
The smell of sweat, and then the fresh and rich smell of blood.
If Lin Fengjin guessed correctly, the remaining faint smell of turbid wine should be left by the drunken cat next to Chen Dabiao. The largest car in the large convoy next to him was all filled with the smell of kerosene.
It seems that the person in charge behind the caravan is also prepared for the bad situation that may occur next, and has laid out a very vicious trap.
The aura left behind by Fu Yidao was very little, but it was strong, lingering for a long time. It even marked the route of his action as clearly as a thread... Next, Lin Fengjin didn't find it.
Any suspicious clues!
"It's such a pity that only my lung spirit has revived..." Lin Fengjin sighed slightly in his heart, but his face was expressionless, he nodded slightly, and then said to Li Hu: "Is this the scene of the death?
?What did the remaining survivor say?"
Li Hu didn't look back, because he wanted to conceal Lin Fengjin's identity, so he still said respectfully:
"The man's spirit seemed to have collapsed. He was crying and laughing like a madman. All he could say was kill, kill, kill."
Lin Fengjin was silent for a while. The night watchers this night were all selected experienced swordsmen. What could they have never seen before when they traveled all over the country? What happened to them? How could they scare these people like this? He mused:
"Didn't you say that a few dogs died? Take me to see them?"
Li Hu nodded and introduced at the same time:
"The slender-waisted dogs brought by the Wang family are very famous. They are worth one or two groups of people to look after the house. They are very loyal. They will never eat food from outsiders, and they will not bite or bark like local dogs. They are all
If you go to bite a vital place like the throat, if it is a purebred fine dog from Xirong, each one can be exchanged for ten strong slaves."
Lin Fengjin also read about this kind of ferocious dog in a book. It is said to be very cunning. It is a hybrid of wolf, dog, and wolf blood. It is good at hunting in groups. Four or five of them can kill wild boars, humans, bears, etc.
The ferocious creature was a little surprised at the enemy's ability to kill such a ferocious dog in an instant, making it unable to make a sound!
At this time, a group of people had walked over. The body of the slender-waisted dog was still in the same place, but it was already fifty or sixty meters away from the grain drying field in Dawangzhuang. The rice had just been harvested here, and the wheat stalks stood like human beings.
In the paddy field, there are trees nearby, and the surrounding mud has been trampled to pieces by people who came after hearing the news.
Lin Fengjin took a deep breath again, and his lungs were immediately filled with the cold early morning air. The most pungent smell was still the smell of dog blood, and then there was the unique smell of muddy water in rice fields, mixed with wheat straw that slowly dried.
The freshness………….
But at this time, Lin Fengjin suddenly felt an indescribable strangeness. This strangeness could not be clearly distinguished for the time being, but it seemed incompatible with the surrounding environment. Although there was only a trace of the smell, Lin Fengjin was still held captive by Lin Fengjin.
Got a firm grip.
"This is... the weird smell that tung oil emits after it is heated! Yes! Well, there is also a little bit of rosin!"
"Why is there the smell of hot tung oil and rosin in the fields??"
Lin Fengjin closed his eyes, suddenly pointed to the right, and said in a deep voice:
"Be careful! There is something strange under the wheat straw stack five steps to the west!"
He gave the order, and first there were three people guarding him. Even Lin De slowly took out the long bow from behind. Li Hu grasped the handle of the knife and slowly used it to fight on the battlefield.
The murder weapon that had been used for decades was drawn out, and the horrifying sound of the blade and sheath rubbing against each other was particularly harsh in the silence.
A servant was on alert and used a spear to open up the straw pile pointed by Lin Fengjin from a distance. At first, he couldn't see anything, but when he shined a lantern, he found a mud hole the size of a fist, and the entrance was
They were all blocked by wet soil. If Lin Fengjin hadn't pointed it out, no one would have thought that this rat hole-like thing that can be seen everywhere would actually become a clue!
"Dig." Lin Fengjin only said one word, and naturally someone started to take action. After digging two or three feet into the hole, something strange happened. A passage as thick as a water tank could be seen inside.
There are very clear traces of fresh scratching all over the passage. Judging from the traces, the claws are at least half a foot long. Digging mud and rocks is like picking tofu. If someone does this, it might be better than cutting it off several times.
The injuries from the knife were much more serious.
But at this time, the actions of the Lin family also attracted other people. When they heard that they had discovered clues, naturally all the people in charge rushed over. Lin Fengjin naturally quietly hid in the guard, and the rest of the people were all thinking.
