Chapter 219: The Weird Village (2)
Cold sweat broke out on Leng Feng's back. He quickly opened the map and found that there was no one around the dock. No one. These stupid Japanese agents died inexplicably!
If there is no one, then there is a trap. It is definitely not a trap set by Du Liang and himself. Then the only people who are familiar with this village and can set a trap without being discovered are the villagers of this village!
Leng Feng clicked on a villager in a house again, and found that there was no problem with this villager. He clicked on another villager, but there was still no problem. In nervousness, Leng Feng clicked on everyone in the village, and unexpectedly! One of them had a problem.
None! Very clean! If there is no problem at all! This is the biggest problem!
"This village is full of masters." It was such a winter in Lengfeng that the sweat on his head made his hair wet.
"Sir, are you ready to take action?" Du Liang asked.
Leng Feng: "Operation cancelled"
Du Liang was stunned: "Sir!"
Leng Feng: "Tell the brothers to take some time to rest and leave here tomorrow!" His words were said in a tone that could not be criticized.
Du Liang had no choice but to give the order again, asking everyone to hurry up and go to bed. But Du Liang didn't sleep, and Leng Feng didn't sleep either. The two of them just looked at each other without saying anything, and could only shed a thousand tears? Ahem, no, Du Liang was worried, Leng Feng
Feng is even more worried.
At dawn the next day, Leng Feng and the others were preparing to hit the road, and Du Liang said, "Sir, why don't you send someone to the dock to take a look?"
Leng Feng said sternly: "No! Get out of here immediately!"
Du Liang seemed to see something: "Sir, what are you afraid of?"
Without comment, Leng Feng was indeed very uneasy, but... Facing Du Liang's doubts, Leng Feng also asked himself in his heart, why are you not sure that those three unlucky ghosts were poisoned before they came here, so it's just the right time to get here.
What about death from poison? How would you know if you don’t go and take a look!
After hesitating for a moment, Leng Feng said: "Go to the small pier and have a look."
The village chief Li Zhe ran over. In addition to settling the accommodation fee and providing some dry food, he stared at Leng Feng and his horses for a long time.
This made Leng Feng's heart skip a beat. Could it be that he was trying to trick our horses?
Knowing that Leng Feng and the others wanted to go to the river, Li Zhe was stunned and asked, "Why are you going to the river?" Leng Feng said, "I'm not familiar with the road here, so I'm afraid of losing my way. I know the direction of the river.
It’s a good way to go, isn’t it?”
Generally, the direction of the river is used as a benchmark to identify the direction. Once you get lost, you can find the direction by directly finding the river. This is the common sense of caravans and adventurers. After arriving at a place, you must immediately find a flowing water source, which can provide
Drinking water is here to provide guarantee for direction.
"Okay." Li Zhe couldn't avoid this question, so he took Leng Feng and the others to the pier. It said it was a pier, but it was elevated. In fact, it was just a place where two small ferries were parked. It was made of wooden planks, no matter how ordinary it was.
It's a small pier, surrounded by weeds and shallow water. The wooden planks extend into the river, reaching a place with a deeper draft, just enough for boats to berth.
Leng Feng pretended to walk forward casually, and found that the wooden planks at the end of the small pier were broken. Three or four wooden planks were damaged, and there was river water below. Could it be that those three guys drowned? No way...
Li Zhe immediately said: "Ouch! Why is this broken! Hey! The blacksmith put the iron ingots here again on time, otherwise it wouldn't break so fast! Come on, you guys, don't go forward, there are probably a few nearby
It's almost broken. It's not a joke to fall into the water. The water in our river looks calm, but there are many undercurrents under the water. Even the good watermen in the county dare not come here to swim and catch fish."
Could it be that I'm overthinking it? Did the unlucky guy really accidentally fall into the water and be swept away by the undercurrent? Maybe, otherwise, Leng Feng felt much more at ease and said, "Okay, we'll go back now.
Anyway, I know the direction of the water flow! Thank you very much.”
Just when he turned around and walked back, Leng Feng suddenly discovered an anomaly! Next to the damaged wood, there was a piece of wood with black burn marks and discoloration. It looked like it had been several years.
It looks like it has been decayed for ten years, but the wood near that piece is all new. It is impossible for the same piece of wood to be like this!
After patrolling again, nothing was found. Leng Feng couldn't find any valuable clues, but he always felt that something was a little awkward. He couldn't tell what was wrong, but it just wasn't right. But he had no choice but to return now. After all, it was safe.
Returning to the customs is the most important thing.
After riding on the horse and heading towards Chicheng, Leng Feng asked Du Liang: "Do you know anything about the undercurrent?"
Du Liang scratched his head: "I don't know much about it. I only know that there is an undercurrent in my hometown. It is very powerful. On the surface, it looks like an ordinary small dam. Once you swim nearby, there will be a suction force that pulls people towards the dam.
Suck it in, and then roll it to the bottom of the water. People with good water quality will usually hold their breath and go directly to the bottom of the water. Follow the direction of the water roll, swim far away and then float up. However, those with poor water quality will usually die inside.
, the common people call him a water ghost looking for a substitute."
"Will the dead people be where they are?" Leng Feng asked.
Du Liang: "Of course not. After death, there will be no struggle, and it will be swept far downstream by the water! You will definitely not find it if you look for it where you are!"
Leng Feng slapped his head! Here's the problem! The whole night! The bodies of the three Japs didn't move and stayed in place! If it was an undercurrent, they couldn't still be in place! This is what's wrong! That's right!
There is definitely something wrong with this village!
Leng Feng put his finger on the map and found that the villagers had gathered by the river. He didn't know what they were doing, but one thing could be proved! The death of these three Japanese was closely related to these villagers, so how did they do it?
of!
What Leng Feng couldn't see was that what was happening was that Li Zhezheng and a few others were looking at the broken wooden boards. They didn't seem to care whether the wooden boards would rot and cause them to fall down. Soon, the wooden boards next to them were also demolished.
The thing hidden under the wooden board was a rectangular glass jar. The outside of the glass was wrapped by an iron can. After several people covered the glass jar with a lid, they jumped into the water and lifted the glass jar out together.
A vat of blood appeared in front of everyone.
The blacksmith came out of the woods. The blacksmith held a crossbow and said, "Didn't they notice it?"
Li Zhe: "No, but these three Japanese fools must have come to this caravan."
"Do you think they can be a caravan? It's probably..."
Li Zhe: "It doesn't matter so much, as long as we are not exposed."
