[Chapter 101, Liuxi Village 07]

Xiao Lou didn't notice any problems in the kitchen until Yu Hanjiang explained in a low voice: "Look, the chimney on the roof of the kitchen has no trace of being smoked at all."

When Xiao Lou heard this, he looked up and found that the chimney on the roof was very clean. Most people’s kitchens are fired every day, and the chimney will definitely be blackened, but the chimney of Mrs. Qin’s house is like a newly built house, and there is no trace of blackening—Ms. Qin obviously never cooks in the kitchen. The kitchen must be hiding something.

Sensing Yu Hanjiang walking forward, Xiao Lou immediately followed.

The two entered the kitchen wearing an invisibility cloak—the stove was very clean, and the cutting board and knives were also new. There were some firewood piled up in the corner of the kitchen, neatly arranged in bundles, but there was no firewood under the stove. There was no soot and the fire looked like it hadn't been lit in ages.

Yu Hanjiang's eyes quickly swept across the kitchen. Except for the piled firewood, the rest of the place was empty, and there was nothing suspicious about it. Instead, there was a jar about 50cm high in the corner of the stove, and red paper was pasted on the jar. The word "rice wine" is written on it with a black brush, and it looks like a jar of rice wine kept by the old lady in the kitchen.

This is the most common rice wine jar in the farmhouse, but Xiao Lou suddenly sensed something was wrong, leaned over to smell it, and said softly, "Captain Yu, this smell is a bit strange, it doesn't smell like wine."

Yu Hanjiang walked over quickly and gently lifted the seal of the jar.

A strong strange smell rushed over, making the two people's stomachs churn. Yu Hanjiang hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, frowned and looked into the jar - only to see a few white stalks soaked in the muddy water. human bones.

After all, Xiao Lou had seen many human specimens in the laboratory, and he didn't feel uncomfortable when he saw them. He lowered his voice and said calmly, "This is the smell of formalin. The old lady Qin made human bone specimens in a wine jar."

Formalin is a drug commonly used in medical colleges to soak corpses. It can ensure that corpses will not rot. Various pathological specimens in the laboratory are also soaked in formalin. No wonder Xiao Lou felt that the smell was a little familiar just now.

Yu Hanjiang's face was ugly: "This old lady Qin not only has a ferocious Tibetan mastiff, but also soaks human bones in the kitchen. There must be something wrong with her. Let's search her home as soon as possible."

No gems were found in the kitchen, but human bones soaked in wine jars for many years are also important clues.

The two left the kitchen and walked into the east room.

There are two bedrooms in Mrs. Qin's house, one of which is very strangely arranged, with white curtains, white beds, and white curtains hanging on the roof... everything you see is almost white.

Yu Hanjiang whispered, "This is not like a bedroom, but more like a mourning hall."

Xiao Lou nodded in agreement, and quickly scanned the room with his eyes, but he didn't find anything like the spiritual tablet or portrait. He was a little puzzled and said: "The old lady Qin arranged the house like this. She must be paying homage to some relatives, right? Could it be her husband?"

Given her age, it is likely that the mourning hall was set up to commemorate her deceased husband, but there were no other clues about the deceased in the house. The two quickly searched and found an exquisite wooden box under the table. Xiao Lou opened it and found that there was There is what appears to be a well for a jewel, but the box is empty.

At this moment, he heard the voice of the strange man from the hall: "We took the gem away, you two should search elsewhere as soon as possible."

The voice quickly faded away. Obviously, the other two challengers who entered the old lady Qin's house at the same time searched the mourning hall first, and finally found this gem. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang took a step back, but it was not without gain.

The two continued to search the old lady's master bedroom.

Different from the "mourning hall" style of the second bedroom, the layout of the master bedroom is very normal. The bed sheets and quilt covers are all blue, which the elderly prefer, and they are washed very clean. They found a comb and a mirror on the table.

Wait...mirror? !

Why do blind people need mirrors?

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were taken aback at the same time.

At this moment, they saw an old face suddenly appeared in the mirror.

——It's Mrs. Qin!

The old lady came back unexpectedly, her footsteps were very light, like a ghost, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang didn't notice at all.

She was holding the majestic Tibetan mastiff in her hand, staring at the mirror with her eyes like vicious snakes. Although Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were invisible, they suddenly saw an old face appearing in the mirror. Everyone was taken aback.

Fortunately, the two of them were used to seeing all kinds of corpses in the Heart Chamber, and their psychological endurance was top-notch, so they didn't cry out.

The old lady Qin faced the air and said coldly: "Someone entered the house to steal things."

The Tibetan mastiff let out two angrily barks into the air.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang stood in the corner, silent, and saw the old lady Qin walking slowly to the bedside with a cane, reached out and groped to find the mirror, wiped it with her sleeve, and said hoarsely : "Don't think that my old lady is blind and can't see, my heart is very clear. I knew a long time ago that people who bully the blind will suffer retribution sooner or later, hehehe..."

Her laughter was like a ghost in the depths of hell.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang held their breath, not daring to make any noise to disturb the old man. The two stayed in tacit agreement, both wanting to see the old lady's next move. She took out a pouch from her pocket with trembling hands, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, as if she was thinking about something, she immediately called out: "Xiao Hei!

. "

The Tibetan mastiff heard the owner's call, and immediately came to rub it against his feet. The old lady bent over and touched its head, and said with a sneer, "This village is isolated from the world, and they can't go far." She put the purse on the Tibetan mastiff Between the nose, let it smell it, and said softly: "The things they stole also have this special fragrance on them. You follow the smell to find them, and you must catch them back to me."

The Tibetan mastiff sniffed it with its nose, then wagged its tail, and a black shadow rushed out quickly.

Xiao Lou sensed that something was wrong, activated the Peach Blossom Spring skill, and teleported Yu Hanjiang directly into Peach Blossom Spring.

The two took off their invisibility cloaks and could finally see each other clearly.

Xiao Lou found that Yu Hanjiang's face was ugly, and he thought that his own face must not be very good, because this secret room also left a big pit for the challenger - they need to clear the level and find gems, but the gems have a special fragrance.

Dogs have very good noses. There are many dogs in this village. Once Mrs. Qin mobilizes the whole village to look for them, even if the challenger hides in the mountains, he will not escape the fate of being found.

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "Unexpectedly, there is a special smell on the gem."

Xiao Lou's face was serious: "The Ace of Spades is too pitiful. There are 7 gems in Liuxi Village. Everyone will rush to find them in order to clear the customs. When you find the gems, it is equivalent to putting a special smell on yourself. It's easy. It attracted the pursuit of the villagers." Thinking of the danger in the village, he hastily said with a tacit understanding: "Xiaoye, Mr. Shao, how is the situation there?"

Ye Qi's voice came from next to my ear: "Don't worry, the village chief's house, Niuniu's house, and Grandma Sun's house, I have placed three bugs according to the map drawn by Team Yu."

With teleportation cards, it is really convenient for Ye Qi and Shao Qingge to move around, and the bugs can be placed at a distance of 100 meters. They only need to hide behind the trees and put the bugs on the walls of the villagers' houses. .

The next moment, Ye Qi suddenly uttered a swear word: "Fuck! There are many dogs running out of the village. These dogs have been sniffing around, as if they are looking for someone?"

Xiao Lou's expression changed: "Come back quickly, the village is in danger!"

Ye Qi and Shao Qingge didn't want to stay any longer. Fortunately, they both wore invisibility cloaks and with the help of teleportation cards, they ran all the way and quickly returned to the ruined temple on the mountain.

Xiao Lou pulled them into the Peach Blossom Spring.

Taohuayuan is considered an independent space. Even if you chat loudly inside, people outside can't hear you.

Xiao Lou told the clues found by Mrs. Qin's house, and Ye Qi's face turned pale: "This old woman is too perverted, she actually soaked human bones in the jar! Could she be the murderer of the massacre of the village? "

Xiao Loudao: "I'm not sure yet. There is a mourning hall in her house, and there is a jar of dead bones soaked in the kitchen. From the current point of view, she is indeed very suspicious."

Yu Hanjiang added: "There is another problem. The old lady's relatives are not here, and she lives alone. There is no sign of fire in her kitchen. It is obvious that she usually does not cook by herself, so how can she solve it when she eats?"

Ye Qi thought about it carefully, and said: "By the way, when Mr. Shao and I were investigating in the village just now, we found that Mrs. Qin was out for a walk with her dog, so I stopped by the village chief's house. She stayed at the village chief's house for ten minutes. And tied the Tibetan mastiff at the door, maybe she is going to eat?"

Yu Hanjiang asked: "Have you seen the village chief?"

Ye Qi shook his head: "I didn't see it. Listening to the voice, it should be a young man."

Yesterday, Mrs. Qin sent someone to inform the village chief, and Yu Hanjiang took note of the person's movement path by the way, and locked the location of the village chief's house when he checked the village at night. There were two big willow trees at the door, which was very obvious.

The old lady Qin who lives alone seems to have a very good relationship with the village head, and it is possible to go to his house for a meal.

Xiao Lou followed up and asked, "That village doctor—is there anything unusual about Granny Sun's house?"

Ye Qi said: "When I went to install the bug, Grandma Sun happened to be cooking in the kitchen, nothing unusual."

He turned on the bug, and at this moment, some conversations came from the bug——

The young woman said worriedly: "Grandma Sun, our little girl was caught in the rain a few days ago and had a low-grade fever. She suddenly developed a high fever today, and she is still talking nonsense. Do you think she is serious?"

An old voice said: "You put Niuniu on the bed, let me check."

After a rustling sound, the old man's voice continued: "Niuniu, this is wind-heat attacking the lungs, and the watch is out of balance, so you have fever, chills, and sore throat. I will prescribe a prescription for you. I went home and boiled medicine for my daughter, three times a day...give her an extra quilt when she sleeps at night, don’t blow the cold wind and aggravate her condition.”

The woman said gratefully: "Thank you, Grandma Sun."

Grandma Sun asked with concern: "Is your second sister-in-law about to give birth?"

The woman smiled and said, "Yes, according to my second brother, my sister-in-law's due date is just a few days away."

Grandma Sun nodded: "Well, we need to make preparations in advance."

The woman said: "When the time comes, I will have to trouble my mother-in-law to help my sister-in-law deliver the baby. You are the only doctor in our village. It's really hard work."

Grandma Sun smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm already old, and my hands and feet are not smooth. My little apprentice is about to leave the teacher. From now on, when people in the village get sick, they can see her."

As soon as the words fell, a young girl's crisp voice came from beside her ear: "Mother-in-law, Mrs. Yun's medicine is ready." She walked very lightly, and walked over to hand the medicine to the woman. Mrs. Yun said with a smile: " Thank you Xiaoqing, then I won’t bother you.”

The girl said: "Sister Yun, go slowly."

After the woman left with the child, there was a sudden clanging sound in the room, followed by the sound of a crock pot breaking. Grandma Sun said helplessly: "Xiaoqing, you are fine in everything, but your movements are frizzy. This is already the fifth medicine jar you knocked over."

Xiaoqing smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, mother-in-law, I can't see, you have so many bottles and cans for boiling medicine, I can't remember where..."

Grandma Sun said: "You have to remember clearly, when Grandma dies, the village will rely on you in the future. These more than a hundred households are suffering from headaches and headaches, and there is no doctor around. If you are sick, don't you wait to die?"

The girl said seriously: "I know, I will study hard."

Grandma Sun began to teach the girl the judgment of various pulse conditions and the identification of some medicine smells. The girl studied hard. Xiao Lou didn't hear anything wrong after listening for a while, and looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, "This Grandma Sun sounds very caring, not like A murderer who can massacre dozens of people and bury their bodies in the backyard of the ruined temple. The girl named Xiaoqing should be seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was not born when the village was massacred."

Yu Hanjiang said: "Let's listen to the village chief."

The eavesdropping channel was switched to the village chief's house. Mrs. Qin approached the door with a cane. The young village chief asked in a low voice, "Aunt Qin, you mean that your things were also stolen?"

Yu Hanjiang keenly noticed the word "also" and pricked up his ears.

Sure enough, the old lady Qin said: "Xiao Liu, someone sneaked into your house last night, didn't you notice it at all?"

The village chief said helplessly: "I slept very hard. When I woke up in the morning, I found that the things in the box were missing. My Ah Huang didn't bark. I don't know if he was fainted by someone. He usually barks when someone comes to the door. Even when acquaintances from the village come, it will call a few times to let me know."

The old lady Qin said hoarsely: "These things are very important, we must get them back as soon as possible."

The village chief said suspiciously: "You have always asked us to guard these seven stones, saying that it is a rule passed down from generation to generation. Aunt Qin, can you tell me what the purpose of these stones is?"

The old lady Qin coughed a few times, and said slowly: "You should have heard that our village was cursed a long time ago, and the mountain temple was destroyed, so our ancestors have been blind for generations. Those gems were pointed out by experts. There are seven locations in the village, they can form a formation, break the curse, and let us restore the light after seven generations..."

The four of Xiao Lou looked at each other.

Does Mrs. Qin really believe in this theory of breaking the curse, or is she deliberately lying to the village chief with her nonsense? If it's the former, then she might be an ignorant old lady, if it's the latter... She's too suspicious.

At this moment, Mrs. Qin's voice suddenly stopped, and she shouted sharply: "Who is outside? Come out sneakily!"

After a jingle and clang, there was the sound of hurried footsteps fleeing.

Xiao Loudao: "It should be that some challengers found something wrong and went to the village chief's house to eavesdrop. The challengers who can make it to the 4 of spades all have a little ability. We have Ye Qi, and they must have different eavesdropping news method."

Yu Hanjiang nodded with a serious expression: "According to the known information so far, the seven gems are arranged step by step in the village according to a formation. According to the old lady, the gems were scattered and placed in order to break the curse of blindness The formation is guarded by the villagers, which undoubtedly gives us an important clue to find the gem."

He found out the distribution map of Liuxi Village that he drew yesterday, quickly marked a few points, and said: "The first gemstone, if the deduction is correct, is in the backyard of the ruined temple. The one who first found the human bone pit last night The girls are taken away."

He pointed to the location of the village head's house: "The second gem was last night. A bold and smart challenger lurked into the village head's house. By some means, he controlled the big yellow dog of the village head's house and stole it overnight. gem."

Yu Hanjiang said: "The third one is the one from Mrs. Qin's house. When we were looking for it with the invisibility cloak just now, there were two challengers who were also wearing the invisibility cloak and found the gem one step ahead of us."

The four looked down at the floor plan together.

The three locations that have been marked, the broken temple on the west mountain, the village head's house, and the old lady Qin's house, these three points seem to form a triangle.

Xiao Lou always felt that something was wrong when he looked at it. He turned around, looked sideways at another angle, and took the one on Xishan as the starting point. Then he stretched out his hand and tried to connect the positions where these three gems appeared with lines.

He found that he had written the character "人", and the one on Xishan was the apex of the character "人".

Xiao Lou's eyes lit up: "Looking down from the sky, the divisions of the stone should be a simple human body structure diagram. The one on Xishan is a human head, and the two from the village head's house and the old lady Qin's house. Symmetry is the two hands of a person. If you want to draw a human shape, you still have the neck, abdomen, and two legs, and the sum of all vertices is exactly seven."

Yu Hanjiang said: "The neck, that is, the two hands extend upwards in reverse, and the head extends downwards. The junction of the three lines—" He pointed to a location on the map precisely: "It's a pond."

Xiao Lou nodded and said, "The location of the lower abdomen is the family in the easternmost part of the village. The two feet are in the farmland in the southeast direction?" After he drew these locations on the map, he took a closer look and found that it was indeed a human figure. picture.

Shao Qingge and Ye Qi looked at each other.

The two awesome heart masters actually solved the secret of the location of the gem so quickly!

Sure enough, eavesdropping on the conversations of NPCs and finding key information is also very necessary in the Spade Chamber. Otherwise, if you search blindly, who knows where the gems are in such a big village?

The distribution of the seven gemstones is actually the head on the west mountain, the feet on the farmland, and the whole river.

Xicun's huge human body structure diagram.

Shao Qingge said in a happy mood: "Then if we just find two gems at random, wouldn't we at least be able to guarantee clearance?"

Xiao Loudao: "The simple way to clear the level is to find the gems. Now three gems have been taken away by other challengers, and there are not many left. We need to find two to clear the level. We must hurry up."

Yu Hanjiang said: "The villagers began to search on a large scale. The smell of gems will lead the villagers to the west mountain. It is no longer safe here. Why don't we do the opposite and look for it in the farmland to the east."

Xiao Lou smiled slightly: "I think so too."

Yu Hanjiang simply put away the map: "Let's go."

Shao Qingge followed behind the two with a smile, thinking to himself—it feels so good to lie down and win!

The author has something to say:

Jiageng, everyone.

This village is weird, but everything will have a reasonable explanation, look forward to the protagonist group solving the mystery.
