The Old Lady is Not Cute, Super Fierce

Although Niujia Village is close to Fengjing, there are not many people. The whole village only has a few dozen people.

It was clearly daytime, but there were no living people in this place. All the doors were closed, and when the wind blew, the dust on the road was blown up, making it look very desolate.

Shen Mengyan walked to the door of the first house and knocked lightly on the door.

After a while, a low voice came from inside: "Who, who?"

"Hello, I'm from Fengjing and I want to find someone." Shen Mengyan said.

There was a sound of something being pulled open behind the door. It seemed that something was against the door, afraid of being rushed open, and then the door was slightly opened, revealing a wrinkled face. It's like an old tree.

His eyes were full of vigilance, and he didn't relax at all because a person appeared in front of him: "Who are you looking for?"

"I want to find someone named Zhang San." Shen Mengyan said.

"Zhang San? Why are you looking for him? I don't remember any relatives of him in Fengjing." The old man said, his face full of doubts.

"I'm investigating about the black panther hurting people..."

Before he finished speaking, the old man's face changed drastically when he heard the word "black panther", and he closed the door with a touch.

"Go, you are not welcome here, go!"

The old man's frightened voice came from inside the house.

Shen Mengyan didn't directly open the door, she just said: "Old man, I just want to find out what's going on. If this matter can be solved, wouldn't it be a good thing for you?"

"The little girl's family is dying? Do you know what happened to the one who wanted to deal with that monster? His whole body was scratched to pieces, and even his intestines came out! You go, go home quickly, don't stay here any longer. Here it is!"

Seeing that the old man was so worried, Shen Mengyan became more and more curious, she knocked on the door again: "Old man, just tell me where Zhang San is."

"I don't know who Zhang San is, you go!" The old man said again, and there was a sound of moving heavy objects behind the door, as if he was going to block the door.

Shen Mengyan didn't hesitate anymore, with a little force on her palm, the door was directly pushed open, with the thing behind it that was about to block the door.

"you!"

The old man looked at Shen Mengyan who pushed open his door, blew his beard and stared angrily, Shen Mengyan saw that what the old man was pushing was a water tank, and he wanted to block the door with the water tank.

The whole house is made of wood and mud, but it is still solid. Because the wooden windows are closed, the whole house looks a little dark, and the only light source today is the light coming in through the open door.

"Old man, look at my strength to push the door, do I look like an ordinary person?"

"You, these people in the rivers and lakes..." The old man wanted to say something, but in the end he shook his head endlessly: "Forget it, the old man can't persuade you, if you want to find Zhang San, go look for it, keep going, the one on the left That's three houses."

After finishing speaking, he waved again and again: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

"Thank you for telling me!" Shen Mengyan cupped her fists as a farewell, and then walked out the door.

As soon as his feet stepped out, the door behind him slammed shut again, followed by the sound of heavy objects being blocked behind the door.

Obviously, he is not welcome.

Sure enough, being cute and pretty is not enough for a meal.

Shen Mengyan thought silently, walked towards the house the old man said, and when she reached the door, she knocked on the door again.

The door was slightly pushed open by Shen Mengyan's knock.

"Who?"

The door was quickly opened, and it was a man in his twenties, who looked quite sturdy, obviously a hunter who often hunted.

He looked at Shen Mengyan with some doubts, and asked, "Girl, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Zhang San."

"You looking for me?" The man looked strange, he looked at the knife in Shen Mengyan's hand, and looked very vigilant: "What do you want me for?"

"I heard that the black panther wounded people a few years ago. You and your friends drove away the black panther, but failed to save the person. Recently, it seems that the black panther hurt people again, so I specifically asked about the black panther at that time. situation."

"Hush!" Zhang San immediately made a gesture of silence. He carefully looked left and right, and then opened the door: "You come in first!"

Zhang San was obviously afraid of something.

After entering, Zhang San closed the door and put the wood on the door, and then walked in with Shen Mengyan: "Sorry, people are in panic now, and they don't want to open the door, because they are afraid that the black panther spirit will come in and harm people." .”

"Black Panther Spirit?" Shen Mengyan was puzzled for a moment: "You think it's a Black Panther Spirit?"

"That's right, my friend was the one who was killed first. It was me and Liu Niu who drove it away back then. This time, Liu Niu died so badly. It must be that black panther turned into a spirit and came back to take revenge!"

What Zhang San said was swearing, and while speaking, he looked out cautiously, as if he was afraid of being entered by the black panther.

"Then why are people saying that the cat demon did it?"

"Because of the cat's meow, many people heard the cat's meow the night Liu Niu was killed. In fact, I heard it too, but... leopards also make cat-like meows."

Zhang San shook his head: "The cat demon has killed Liu Niu so far, and has not killed anyone else, so I thought it must have a grudge against Liu Niu, and the only one who has grudges is the former black panther! "

Shen Mengyan looked at the man in front of her, and she asked, "Are you scared too?"

"I'm afraid, I must be very scared. This girl, I was also the one who stopped it with Liuniu back then. It took revenge on Liuniu, and it will definitely come to take revenge on me!" Zhang San said cautiously again. looked around.

Shen Mengyan pondered for a moment, and said: "Actually, I came here this time because I found some clues. Although these clues are only known to me, and there are not many, as long as I continue to find some, I will definitely be able to find out. the truth!"

"The truth?" Zhang San was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Could it be possible to catch that black leopard spirit?"

"That's right, from the clues I found, this black leopard spirit is not a demon, but a human being. The murderer deliberately made the corpse like that in order to confuse others and deliberately make people fall on the demon and the black panther." think."

"This, how is this possible?" Zhang San was startled, he got up and walked several steps back and forth: "How is this possible? Why would someone kill Liu Niu? He is kind, how could he be targeted?"

"I'm very sure. After all, the clues I have now point to people killing people, not monsters killing people." Shen Mengyan said with a wider smile on her face.

"In that case, can you let me join in? I also want to find out what's going on!" Zhang San turned around, his eyes widened, he gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists tightly: "Liu Niu is My friend, I must avenge him!"

Shen Mengyan nodded lightly: "Of course, it's the best thing to have one more helper, not to mention that with your help, Brother Zhang, I will definitely be able to find out the truth better."

"Thank you, girl!" Zhang San bowed to Shen Mengyan, and then he said: "By the way, the girl has just arrived here, I haven't had tea yet, I'll pour tea for the girl."

Saying that, without waiting for Shen Mengyan to refuse, she walked towards the kitchen.

Chapter 29 Doubt and cloud three in one

Shen Mengyan sat silently for a while, and she also looked around, Zhang San is a hunter, so there are some things that hunters would use in the house, such as bows and arrows, but the bow looks a bit old, it seems that it has not been used for a long time up.

Zhang San quickly brought the teapot and teacups. The tea sets looked a bit old, obviously they had been used for a long time.

Shen Mengyan looked at the tea set, slightly surprised: "This tea set should be porcelain from Jing'an Kiln, just a teapot and a pair of teacups, it must be at least a hundred taels."

Hearing Shen Mengyan's words, Zhang San's face revealed a hint of pride: "This is when I was hunting before, I rescued a merchant. In order to repay me, the merchant gave me this tea set. Knowing that the tea set is precious, I will It has been treasured up to the present, and it has been five or six years."

"It turns out that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. It seems that Brother Zhang is also a kind person." Shen Mengyan smiled, picked up the teacup in front of her, and gently sniffed it.

The fragrance of the tea is very weak, but it's not because the tea leaves are bad, but because of the tea itself, once you drink it, the taste of the tea will gradually become stronger and the aftertaste will be endless.

Shen Mengyan took a sip and exclaimed, "Good tea!"

"It doesn't count, it doesn't count." Zhang San said, taking a sip himself.

Afterwards, he asked: "The girl said that she found clues, indicating that the murderer is a human, not a monster. Why do you say that?"

"It can't be said, it can't be said, but now only I know this clue. When I'm done with the investigation, I hand it over to the government, and the government will naturally arrest people."

Shen Mengyan said some more, then got up and hugged Zhang San: "I have to go outside to check, so I won't bother Brother Zhang San."

"Okay, I'll take you out, the sun is about to set, and it's not safe outside." Zhang San didn't persuade him to stay, and just turned around to get his coir raincoat and hat, and Shen Mengyan pushed the door open by herself.

Seeing that Zhang San hadn't come out yet, she opened her mouth slightly, and the breath in her body was circulating, and a stream of liquid was directly entrained and spit out not far away.

This is the tea just now, not a single drop, it's all here.

She doesn't have the heart to eat in a stranger's house, maybe this is sleeping black tea?

"Let's go." Zhang San walked out, first he closed the door and locked it casually, then Shen Mengyan followed Zhang San to the outside of the village.

At the entrance of the village, Shen Mengyan said: "Brother Zhang San, let's stop here, I will walk the rest of the way by myself."

"No, there might be wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in this wilderness. It's safer if there are more people." Zhang San shook his head, with concern on his face, he smiled: "If you can solve the case, That's a great thing, and I can also avenge Liu Niu."

"Since you have said so, then accompany me to go there and have a look." Shen Mengyan pointed to a direction and walked forward slowly.

It's about a quarter of Shen's time now, which is relatively early, but even so, there is no one to be seen here.

In the forest, there were bursts of birdsong and the sound of running water. Soon, Shen Mengyan found a small stream, and the sound of running water came from this small stream.

Behind him, Zhang San looked at Shen Mengyan with a hint of doubt, as if he was wondering something.

Shen Mengyan turned her head at this time and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, look at the beautiful scenery here, if you build a bamboo building here, it will be a pleasure."

"Girl is a good idea, but it's near a water source, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in summer, so it's actually very uncomfortable." Zhang San said, and asked a little strangely: "By the way, girl, do you feel any discomfort? "

"Uncomfortable? No, the scenery here is so beautiful, why would I feel uncomfortable?" Shen Mengyan said as a matter of course, Zhang San smiled: "I also said that the environment here is a bit stuffy, you will feel uncomfortable."

This place is obviously cool, but still hot, can you speak?

Shen Mengyan complained silently in her heart, looked around again, and then took a step forward, her feet swayed, and her whole body wobbled.

"My head, my head is so dizzy..."

She supported the tree on the side with her hands, her eyes were blurred, and she just looked at Zhang San who was walking by: "What, what's going on?"

"Girl, girl, are you okay?" Zhang San immediately leaned forward, looking very concerned.

It's just that Shen Mengyan couldn't answer him anymore, she just leaned against the tree and tried her best not to fall down.

"I'm really dizzy, it's okay to be dizzy, it's wonderful to be dizzy, don't worry, you will be killed by the cat demon soon and become the next victim." After Zhang San confirmed that Shen Mengyan was really dizzy, his face was originally worried. His expression changed, becoming eerie and full of killing intent.

He stretched his hand to the back and pulled out from under the coir raincoat. He actually pulled out an iron hook with three hooks. It looked sharp and had dried blood on it. It looked like a murder weapon.

"You, you are the murderer!" Shen Mengyan tried her best to raise her hand, pointing at Zhang San, with anger in her eyes, but at the moment she seemed weak and threatening.

"That's right, why are you meddling so much? Wouldn't it be nice to just sit in your own home?" Zhang San said, looked up and down, and shook his head: "It's a pity, it's a pity for you Such a beauty, but don't worry, the money on your body belongs to me, and I will definitely enjoy it."

Saying that, as soon as he raised his hand, he was about to grab Shen Mengyan.

At this moment, the sword light flashed, and a severed hand flashed in the air, and then fell into the water.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Zhang San let out an incomparably miserable scream, his complexion turned pale, his face was covered with sweat, his left hand just grabbed his right hand like this, and shouted in his mouth: "My hand, my hand!"

He looked at the woman in front of him in horror. At this moment, this woman still looked a little dizzy, her eyes were cold, and she was still holding the broad-bladed knife that cut off her wrist.

"You, you are pretending!"

"Yeah, I'm just pretending. Did you see it through such a simple thing?" Shen Mengyao looked at her blade, which was covered with blood, which made her shake her head a little dissatisfied: "I can't leave blood. , Sure enough, my sword skills are still not good."
