Chapter 57 Exploring the Snake Cave
In the face of Ye Zilian's active invitation, the village head said, "Mr. Ye, it's not that I don't believe in you, but after all, he is a bloodthirsty monster. If you only take one person there, you will be worried about your life!" If more people go together, even if there is something to do, it's better to have a care.
"Thank you for your concern! It's just that there is still an uncertain thing in my heart. If you want to go to the cave, if there are many people, it will be a little inconvenient. The village head's kindness was well received.
"Since Mr. Ye said so, the old man will not be forced. Please take care of yourself and return safely.
"Good! Zi Lian will give you an explanation. I will definitely hold the bloodthirsty monster tomorrow at the latest!"
This is the first time I heard such a guarantee in Sandong Village. What? Tomorrow at the latest? That is to say, in just one or two days, this young man will definitely be able to hold the bloodthirsty monster? Many villagers' faces showed suspicion.
But Zilian still vowed and said, "It's just a few things, and I asked the village head to help arrange it."
" Mr. Ye, please speak. As long as we can hold the bloodthirsty monster, don't say a few things, it's dozens of things. As long as we can do it, it's natural for me to help.
"The first one needs to be borrowed from a chicken in the village."
"A chicken?"
"Yes, a chicken, a live chicken."
"Why is this difficult? If Mr. Ye wants to use it, just use it. Anyway, these chickens won't live long. Mr. Ye doesn't use them now, and I'm afraid they won't use them in the future. After saying that, he shook his head again and again.
Zilian smiled and then said, "I still need to borrow Aunt Pan's room."
"Oc, no problem!" Aunt Pan also risked her life. Not to mention whether she can seize the bloodthirsty monster, at least she has to try it. Anyway, her family is a bloodthirsty monster who has recently recognized the target, and she can't escape. She simply fights for it.
"Third, please work hard today to dig a big hole under the wall not far from Aunt Pan's house from the chicken coop. I'm going to explore the snake hole today. If I can touch it, Yang Quan will take him. If I can't touch it, I expect that he will come to steal chickens tonight, so I will catch the turtle in an urn.
"Good strategy! It's just a little risky!" The village head had to consider the safety of the whole village, but now he has no choice, because even if he does not set a trap, the bloodthirsty monster will still come, and the lives of the villagers will still be in danger.
Zilian arranged another round, and finally ordered Xiaoshio to pick up the chicken with the village head, and he returned to the house first. Yang Quan also followed into the room and asked, "Young master, do you have to explore the snake hole again?"
"Ye�. "I must go!"
"What's the uncertainty that the young master just said?"
"At present, I'm not fully sure. I have to go there to know."
"Does the young master doubt that it is a real bloodthirsty monster?"
"There are no monsters in the world. They are all fabricated to scare themselves." Zilian said calmly, but her thoughts had been pulled back to that night. The long black hair appeared at the mouth of the snake hole, and her limbs looked very much like a human figure! Zilian, who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, doesn't believe that it is a monster in the population. Although there is no evidence now, he needs to prove his point that the bloodthirsty monster is simply a person!
"Does the young master mean that it was disguised?"
"It's not necessarily pretending, but... it's raining!" Although Zilian talked to Yang Quan, he kept staring out of the window. It was midsummer and close to the mountain. It rained a lot, but the rain came and went fast.
Yang Quan saw that it was pouring outside in a blink of an eye, so he couldn't help saying, "It's raining, and this mountain road is even more difficult to walk. Young master, shall we leave for the snake hole tomorrow?
"No, you are ready to prepare. As soon as the rain stops, let's go."
Yang Quan was about to say something more when the little stone called the young master outside the house. Zilian let the little stone in, but the little stone opened the door, but he was carrying a poor live chicken in his hand.
"Young master, you want a live chicken."
Zilian looked sideways, nodded and said, "Okay, it makes sense for you to take it and walk around the entrance of the village and Aunt Pan's room today, especially on the wall of the trap and make it smell more chicken."
"Yes, young master."
"Emp, after it's done, put this chicken in Aunt Pan's chicken cage, and then you can go to rest."
"Young master, please take me with you. I'm more worried about you here!"
"Your task in the village is more important!"
When Little Stone heard what the young master said, he couldn't say anything more. He had to stay in the village first and wait for the rain to stop and follow the young master's instructions.
The mountain rain soon stopped. Ye Zilian and Yang Quan quietly left the village and entered the three cave mountains.
The mountain road after the rain is very difficult to walk. But compared with the difficult mountain road, Yang Quan is now more worried about getting closer and closer to the cave with bloodthirsty monsters. It was lucky not to see the monster last time. Why did the young master offer to go to the snake hole again? He can understand the young master's curiosity. He has also seen the young master's intelligence and cleverness in solving cases, but this is not a murder case. Isn't a few chickens dead? What's more, it may be a bloodthirsty monster that kills people without blinking! Even if you take a few more strong men in the village to help capture and kill monsters, why did you bring yourself? Yang Quan became more nervous. He must swear to protect Ye Zilian's life, otherwise how to go back and explain to the Ye family!
Just as the two of them were about to reach the mouth of the cave, Zilian suddenly motioned Yang Quan to stop. Yang Quan followed the focus of Zilian's eyes and found several pairs of footprints of different depths at the entrance of the cave. Is there anyone else here besides the two of them? Yang Quan's sword in his hand was held tighter and he was very alert. He was ready to draw his sword to fight for life and death at any time.
Zi Lian was not so nervous. Instead, he seemed to have found something new, and his face was full of excitement. Zilian gently stepped forward and carefully inspected the footprints at the mouth of the cave. The footprints closest to the mouth of the cave are the deepest and very complete, with one and a half. The wet soil clearly presented ten toe prints in front of Ye Zilian and Yang Quan. Even Yang, who had been half-confident, had to admit that Zilian was right, this is a person! Still a person without shoes!
The footprints are not big, and Zilian is even guessing whether the so-called bloodthirsty monster is simply a child! Because the figure he saw that day was not high! And from the shape, it is inferred that only when people kneel on one knee can form the shape of this half-footprint that can be seen in front of them. The snake hole is high enough for an adult to enter, not to mention a child, so what does he do when he squat at the mouth of the cave? Ah! By the way! Snake!
Zilian suddenly remembered the snake cut into several segments by Yang Quan that day. In this position, although the rain has washed the land once, a little blood can be faintly seen. Those snakes have disappeared. Obviously, the "bloodthirsty monster" is to pick up these snakes and eat them. Squat down.
At this time, what Yang Quan saw in his eyes was that the person who stepped on this footprint did not work hard at all, but he may walk faster than ordinary people.
Not only does he look like a human, but he is also smart to go to the village to steal chickens at night. He knows how to eat a chicken and bring one. Knowing that Uncle Huang's chickens have been eaten up, he went to Aunt Pan's house next door to eat! He will also squat down to pick up snakes that have been cut into several sections to eat. With such a high IQ, Zilian can't think of any other animal that would do this except human beings.
Zi Lian showed a smile on her face. However, he did not stop at the mouth of the cave. He even wondered if he could see the true face of this bloodthirsty monster here today?
Zi Lianxing lit a torch and entered the cave, followed by Yang Quan. The result is still the same as last time. Except for the chicken feathers all over the ground, I didn't even see the shadow of the bloodthirsty monster. The only difference is that the chicken feathers are a little more than before. It can be seen that Aunt Pan's chicken was also eaten by the monster.
