Douluo: I'm Really Ordinary
Chapter 29: Killer’s Shock
The gentle breeze blew through the wheat fields that were blowing in the wind. From east to west, Jiangcheng and the others began to check each house, and then searched the houses.
After two days, they were basically familiar with the process.
It is to verify the family's appearance and martial arts spirit, and to detect abnormalities in the house, patrol, take notes, and then visit again.
Jiang Cheng's notebook was already filled with five pages, and he was very concise and to the point.
The same goes for Bai Che. At the beginning, he also activated his left eye soul skill, looking here and there.
See if you can rely on your own advantages to detect any abnormalities, and you will be able to make great achievements.
But it turned out that this trick was useless. He couldn't see anything unusual. Those families were ordinary farmers, and there was no flow of soul power in them.
Later, Bai Che simply lost interest and simply observed four times, visited carefully and took notes.
In the blink of an eye, a month and a half passed.
All of them, 12 soldiers and 18 students, worked hard for half a month.
The result was nothing.
But fortunately, this just shows a good thing, that is, there is a high probability that there will be no deserters from the enemy country here.
Chen Lu took them to various villages in the morning, and he was not idle in the afternoon. He also went to the nearby mountains to look around, wondering if he could find any clues.
Because the mountains were more dangerous and soul beasts appeared at any time, Chen Lu did not dare to take them with him.
It was just that later he groped around there and became familiar with the situation, so he took them around there, which seemed a bit unsatisfactory.
"That's it. Looking east from here, there are four more villages over there."
"If there is nothing abnormal, it can basically be concluded that there are no so-called Tiandou deserters here..."
Chen Lu faced Jiangcheng, Bai Che and the others, pointing at a few villages not far away where smoke was drifting from their cooking stoves. The corners of their mouths twitched, as if they were smiling bitterly.
"Logically speaking, this should be a good thing, but I have been feeling uneasy these past two days."
"But no matter what, as long as a household is not fully investigated, there will be one more suspect."
Jiang Cheng stood behind him.
"Well, in this case, we can only use the elimination method to find him out."
"Apart from our Qinghe City side, have search teams from other places found traces of deserters?"
"I found it, but not much."
Chen Lu didn't expect him to think of this step and smiled helplessly.
"So far, the number of deserters captured across the borders of the Star Luo Empire is quite different from the number recorded on the battlefield."
"In addition, some villagers said that suspicious people did appear in the neighboring town, so I felt uneasy."
"I'm just thinking, if we really hide a deserter here, where will he be?"
Over there, Bai Che scratched his head and said.
"Actually, if I think about it from my perspective, if I were a deserter, I would rather live with the spirit beast, eat wild fruits and hide in tree holes every day, and not be discovered."
Jiang Cheng sighed, "The key is that we are afraid that he is right under our noses and we still can't tell."
"Cuckoo, cuckoo."
Suddenly, on an elm tree next to everyone, a cuckoo bird called twice. There were still spots of blood on its beak, which looked quite extraordinary.
Bai Che activated his left eye soul skill and was startled.
"Ahhhh, it's the red cuckoo from 1256, and there's another one next to it that's 750 years old!"
Chen Lu smiled and shook his head.
"Don't get excited. I discovered these two cuckoos half a month ago. According to their habits, as long as you don't provoke them, you won't be attacked."
"And it is very rare to encounter a red cuckoo in the wild. After all, this kind of spirit beast has a high growth potential."
"Oh, I forgot."
Bai Che looked slightly embarrassed.
Jiang Cheng also stared directly at the red cuckoo, looking at half of the orange falling on the horizon, and sighed.
"What did you hear at dawn and dusk? The cuckoo cries and the blood ape cries."
In this situation, all that was needed was the sound of an ape's cry.
"Let's go. Let's visit the village in front of us. There aren't many people there."
Not far away is a thatched house and a pigsty. There is also a thick jujube tree planted in the yard. The sunset alternates, giving it a farmhouse scenery.
Chen Lu led the way. When they arrived at this house, they took a look at the registration book. There was only one widower here, who looked to be in his early forties.
Over there, the man seemed to have just come out from his work, and when he saw them, he looked panicked.
"Are you the soul master?"
"Well, your name is Zhang Zong?"
"Yes, I am none other than Zhang Zong."
Zhang Zong looked confused, "I wonder why the soul master suddenly visited?"
Jiang Cheng took the notebook and glanced at the man, feeling that the farmer spoke in a formal manner.
"Nothing, release your martial spirit."
Chen Lu said succinctly.
"Yes……"
Zhang Zong silently stretched out his right hand and released his martial spirit, which was a slingshot.
Chen Lu compared the appearance of the martial souls on the register, nodded to confirm, and searched the room again.
"It seems to be all right."
Zhang Zong looked over it and found nothing wrong as usual.
Jiang Cheng followed the usual practice and handed a piece of white paper to Zhang Zong, "Please sign."
The purpose of this is to prepare a questionnaire. When the task is completed, Chen Lu will submit this to his superiors, which can be considered an end here.
"it is good."
Facing Jiang Cheng, Zhang Zong seemed much more relaxed. He squeezed out the scorched skin on his face, smiled, picked up the pen and signed his name.
Zhang Zong's hands were very dry, had calluses, and yellow spots, just like most farmers.
But Jiang Cheng still took another look.
After Zhang Zong signed his name, he suddenly realized something, stared at Chen Lu, and said.
"I know you. I heard from the nearby villagers that you have been running around for us common people all day long. I didn't expect to see a real person today!"
"You're welcome, this is our obligation."
Chen Lu waved his hands indifferently and sighed. It seems that after visiting for a month and a half, many people have spread the word.
"Wait for me!"
Zhang Zong returned to the house, took out a basket of red dates and said with a smile.
"You have worked hard to grow it at home. Come home and taste it. Take it!"
Zhang Zong handed it to Bai Che without any explanation, and the wrinkles on his face were all smiles.
"Even if you don't want to eat it, it's okay to leave it to the children to satisfy their cravings."
"It's not something valuable, just keep it."
"In that case, then, thank you, this basket..."
"There's no need to send the basket back. You can just take it. I have plenty at home."
Zhang Zong waved his hand quickly.
"Okay." Chen Lu nodded.
"Thank you uncle."
Bai Che also thanked him politely.
After leaving, Jiang Cheng looked back and saw thatched huts, date trees, and widowers.
Chen Lu walked in front and asked when he noticed that Jiang Cheng seemed to be thinking about something.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"It's not a big problem."
Jiang Cheng turned his head and frowned.
"When signing, the person's hands were very clean, with no dust or dirt between the fingernails."
"This is different from the farmers I've met before."
"They work in the fields all day long. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be so clean... But since the martial arts is fine, I might be worrying too much."
Jiang Cheng shook his head and didn't care.
Chen Lu looked thoughtful, "At this time, he should have just finished eating, and he might have washed his hands after coming back from the fields."
"Ah."
……
When he went back in the evening, Bai Che suddenly rushed over and found Jiang Cheng.
Without saying a word, he took out the date basket.
"Brother Jiang, look, this is what the old man did!"
"This……"
Jiang Cheng's eyes widened and he saw a silver soul coin and two copper soul coins lying in the jujube basket.
Bai Che said quickly, "I just distributed the red dates to everyone, and then I saw this."
"It seems that the uncle put it there."
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and found Chen Lu.
"Captain Chen, we found these in the basket. Do you think this is..."
Chen Lu was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly.
"This old man is very good, but we can't take advantage of others in vain. It's not easy for him to farm, and he only makes so much money all year round."
"You should return the money tomorrow and give away the baskets by the way."
"it is good."
Early the next morning, Jiang Cheng and Bai Che were ready to send the baskets and money over.
Chen Luze was going to take a look at the nearby mountains and gave Jiang Cheng a fireworks stick.
"You guys go and see him off. We won't pass through the wilderness and there will be no soul beasts along the way."
"Although there is no danger, it's better to be cautious. If you encounter some people who are deliberately making things difficult, don't pay attention to them. If you can't send a signal, I will rush over."
"Ah."
Soon, the two of them arrived at the familiar thatched house from yesterday and prepared to go there.
Jiang Cheng suddenly stopped on the spot and frowned.
"Bai Che, after a while, without him paying attention, you can use your soul skills to take a look at him."
"it is good……"
Bai Che didn't know why.
"Brother Jiang, there's no need. Uncle is such a nice person, and there's no problem with his martial arts spirit."
Jiang Cheng lowered his head and looked at the jujube basket.
"I'm afraid this is a trap to lure us here."
"Huh? What does that mean."
"It's okay, just take a look, just in case."
"Row."
When they passed by, Zhang Zong was still in the pig pen. He heard the footsteps and rushed out. When he saw it was them, he couldn't help but be startled.
"Why are you here again?"
Jiang Cheng handed him the basket and money and said.
"It's okay, it's just that we really can't accept this money. You can keep it for yourself. You took it with kindness."
"Look here..."
Zhang Zong sighed helplessly, "Originally, I planned to secretly give them to you, but you sent them back again."
Jiang Cheng waved his hands and smiled.
"Uncle, there's really no need. The red dates are quite delicious. Just pick a few and try them."
"Wait, I still have it in the house!"
Zhang Zong smiled, turned around and walked into the house.
Jiang Cheng winked at Bai Che.
Bai Che understood immediately, his left eye lit up with a faint golden light, staring at Zhang Zong's back.
After looking at it for about two breaths, Bai Che shook his head, indicating that there was no fluctuation in his soul power.
Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
By chance, Zhang Zong turned around and came out of the house with a big smile on his face, holding a handful of red dates.
"what!"
Bai Che was suddenly startled and shouted.
Jiang Cheng was also frightened beside him.
"what happened?"
Zhang Zong walked out of the room and looked at Bai Che, who was turning pale, with concern on his face.
Jiang Cheng waved his hand.
"Just now a big rat slipped under his feet and scared him."
"Well, it's right next to my feet. I'm scared to death..."
Bai Che nodded repeatedly, then looked at Jiang Cheng.
"Brother Jiang, let's go back, Captain Chen is still waiting for us."
"Well, goodbye, uncle."
Jiang Cheng nodded, took the red dates and waved to Zhang Zong.
"Come back when you have time!" Zhang Zong said with a smile.
After walking some distance, Jiang Chengcai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and patted him.
"What happened to you just now?"
"I... I saw..."
Bai Che's face turned pale and full of excitement.
"Brother Jiang, there is definitely something wrong with that man. Although I couldn't see the soul power in him, when he turned around, I saw the mask!"
"mask?"
Jiang Cheng's eyes widened, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure it seems to be a martial spirit. Such a big mask covers his face..."
Bai Che was trembling all over, "Brother Jiang, what should we do now?"
"Shh, don't alert the enemy. Go back and tell Chen Lu."
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath.
"No wonder, it seems that the reason why he lives in an ordinary farmer's family openly is related to his mask martial spirit..."
"it is good……"
Bai Che was still trembling as he walked.
He was still frightened by the scene just now.
"It's a little late for you to leave now."
A gust of cold wind blew by, and a cold voice sounded from behind.
Jiang Cheng turned his head and saw Zhang Zong slowly approaching them, smiling.
"Don't tell me, you two guys pretend to be similar. It's just that as a professional assassin and a mysophobic person, I cleared out all the rats on the first day I came here."
"So, you were lying just now."
Zhang Zong smiled slightly, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and four soul rings slowly floated on his body.
White, yellow, purple, purple.
An extreme sense of depression came over me.
PS:
Two chapters of 6600 words will be added today. I was too busy visiting relatives yesterday and didn’t have time. Thank you for liking.
