Chapter 32: late night visitors
Qin Shaoyou peeled off the dog's fur, and found scars on several parts such as the back of the neck and the upper part of the tail.
These scars are not only short, but also very shallow, and they are hidden deep in the dog's hair, making it difficult to see.
If it wasn't for Qin Shaoyou's talent for [bright eyesight], who was most able to see into subtleties, he probably wouldn't have discovered it.
Liao Lishi, who was beside Qin Shaoyou, saw these scars after he peeled off the dog's hair.
He couldn't help but be a little curious: "Why does it have so many scars on its body, did it fight with other dogs?"
"These aren't scars from fights, they're knife wounds."
Qin Shaoyou put his hand on the dog and gently stroked the scars.
The dog didn't know whether it was touched by the wound or was frightened, his body trembled, but he didn't dare to do anything to Qin Shaoyou.
"It's really a knife wound."
Zhu Xiucai came over, first looked at the scar carefully for a moment, then touched it again, and finally checked other parts of the dog's body.
"This is the knife from the dog's neck, and it has been pulled all the way to the top of the tail..."
Zhu Xiucai's fingers crossed between several scars.
The dog became more frightened, as if recalling some terrible experience.
While groping, Zhu Xiucai analyzed:
"The person who took the knife was very fast and stable, and some special drugs were used later, so the knife wound recovered quickly. So far, only a few shallow scars are left. In a day or two, These few scars will also disappear... But at that time, this knife was connected from the head to the tail of the dog!"
Qin Shaoyou nodded solemnly.
He saw it the same way.
He also turned his head to Yao Lishi who was guarding the door and said, "Old Yao, bring the dog at your feet too."
"Here it is." Yao Lishi agreed, untied the rope tied to the house post, and carried the yellow dog he caught at the city gate earlier.
Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai began to check the yellow dog again.
On the yellow dog's body, they also found several scars, but they were more shallow.
Obviously, the recovery time is longer and the recovery effect is better.
Through these scars and the various evidences discovered before, Qin Shaoyou and the others' guesses were basically confirmed.
The wild dog that suddenly appeared inside and outside Mianyuan County is the missing child who was transformed by the demon using the animal-making technique.
"This is after peeling off the dog's skin, taking out the internal organs and flesh and blood, stuffing the person in, and then suturing the wound, thus turning the person into a living dog..."
Qin Shaoyou stroked the scars on the two dogs, feeling horrified and cold all over his body.
This method is really vicious!
The wrestlers were also very angry and cursed the caster for being cruel.
Even Monk Ma couldn't control his emotions, and scolded excitedly: "These thieves, **** it!"
He seemed to think it was not good for him to speak foul language, so he hurriedly recited the Buddha's name.
But I was really unhappy in my heart, so my words became: "Amitabha...Fuck it."
After cursing a few words, Yao Lishi suggested, "Since the missing child is trapped in the dog's skin, can we release the person by peeling the dog's skin?"
"no!"
Monk Ma couldn't care about scolding his mother, so he hurriedly stopped it.
"The missing children are not simply stuffed into the dog's skin, otherwise they will not become unintelligible, but can only bark and act like a dog. If we simply and rudely peel off the dog's skin, they will probably die."
Qin Shaoyou nodded in agreement: "The monk is right, we don't know how to solve the curse sorcery, so let's wait for the Taoist priest of the Jade Emperor Temple to come. They are professional in these aspects and are better than us. If everything All right, they'll be there tomorrow and the day after."
Seeing that the spirits of the two dogs were a little sluggish, Qin Shaoyou asked the wrestlers to find water and food, and put them in bowls in front of them.
The two dogs were really hungry, and when they saw the food, they immediately rushed to eat it.
The way they eat is no different from real dogs.
Seeing them lying on the ground eating, and then thinking of what was in the dog's skin, it was very likely that they were two living people, and Qin Shaoyou and the others felt even more uncomfortable.
The demon who turned children into dogs, all be damned!
Qin Shaoyou couldn't bear to watch the two dogs eat, so he asked about Lang Zhong and the butcher.
Lux, who was investigating Langzhong, said: "We found Langzhong, and we made inquiries. He did treat the young master of Zhang's house, but he prescribed cinnabar tranquilizers, and he did not mention Gouxin."
Lux, who was investigating the butcher, said, "We followed the butcher to a compound, where there were many dogs and many water tanks. Because there were guards on patrol, we didn't dare to sneak in and investigate carefully because we were guarded and patrolled."
"Lang Zhong doesn't know about Gou Xin's work on medicine introduction?"
Zhu Xiucai squinted his eyes and analyzed: "If Lang Zhong didn't lie, then the people around Zhang Shi Lang's grandson were caught in some kind of spell and had wrong memories."
Qin Shaoyou nodded, agreeing with Zhu Xiucai's inference.
Immediately afterwards, he said to the wrestler who was investigating the butcher, "You are right to be cautious. Do you remember the location of the yard where the butcher went?"
"Remember!"
"That's good, let's go over to check the situation at night."
After waiting in the Datong shop for a while, it was completely dark, and the other residents in the inn also fell asleep one after another.
Qin Shaoyou and the others glanced out through the crack in the window, and after confirming that there was no one in the yard, they slipped out of the Datong shop lightly, not forgetting to bring two dogs with them.
If these two dogs were left in the house, wouldn't they kill them if a thief really came at night?
However, in order to prevent the two dogs from barking and running around, Qin Shaoyou and the others could only use cloth strips and other objects to tie the dog's mouth and legs.
When they left the room, in the courtyard, several dogs kept by the postmen noticed them.
These watchdogs were also alert, and they were about to grin and bark immediately. Seeing this, Zhu Xiucai, who was experienced in the industry, hurriedly threw out a few pieces of meat that had been prepared a long time ago.
The watchdog was attracted by the meat, so they all went to eat the meat, but only a few low-pitched barks of meaning did not attract the attention of the people in the inn.
Soon, Qin Shaoyou and the others left the inn.
But before going far, he found a yard next to the inn and hid himself in ambush.
Several trees and roofs in this yard are suitable for hiding, and the view is very good, so you can clearly observe the situation in the inn.
The wrestlers are also quite experienced, but at such a time and in this environment, it is inevitable that they will be a little nervous.
Qin Shaoyou did the same.
In order to relieve the pressure and at the same time to seize the time to improve his strength, Qin Shaoyou took out a sand jar, which contained the demon bone soup that he had borrowed from the station kitchen.
While drinking the soup, he also took out the Zixue Liangsi that he had made before.
The sound of gurgle and clack immediately caught the attention of Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others.
After the strong man heard the sound, he couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, "Why are there still people feeding the pigs at night?"
When he saw that Qin Shaoyou was eating and drinking, he quickly closed his mouth.
But he couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "I only know that some people eat melons to watch the fun, why did they come to Mr. Qin's place, but they were eating soup and eating vegetables for surveillance?"
Although Qin Shaoyou's move made the wrestlers slander, it also eased their nervousness.
While it was still early, all the people in the inn hadn't fallen asleep, so the thieves should have to wait a while longer.
It is not only filling the stomach, but also replenishing the blood and spirit.
Zhu Xiucai also handed Qin Shaoyou a serving of wine and meat.
"Sir, you can't just drink soup and be a vegetarian. Come and eat some meat and drink some bars."
Qin Shaoyou waved his hand and declined: "No, I have enough to eat."
He also wanted to drink and eat meat, but that would take up his stomach and affect the amount of medicated food he would eat, thus affecting his strength.
In order to make his body hard and his spirit hard and strong, Qin Shaoyou could only continue to drink soup and eat vegetables.
All the wrestlers didn't know the inside story, they just thought he didn't want to drink to make mistakes, they admired his self-discipline, and they stopped drinking, just eating meat.
After a bite of the belly, not only will the blood and spirit be restored, but the person will not be so nervous.
This feeling made the luxuries very comfortable~www.readwn.com~ praised them one after another: "What adults want is to be thoughtful. It is really useful to eat something before doing big things. We have to keep this habit in the future."
"Ah?" Qin Shaoyou, who was burying his head in drinking soup, raised his head after hearing what everyone said, with a look of daze and surprise on his face.
How do you feel, he seems to have led all these fighters astray?
Imagining the scene where the wrestlers were not busy drawing knives at the start of the war, but first eating a few mouthfuls of meat and drinking a few mouthfuls of wine to suppress their shock, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help shivering.
The painting style is too clear...
Time has come to the middle of the night.
All the people in the inn fell asleep and could hear bursts of snoring.
Qin Shaoyou and the others had already finished eating and drinking. At this moment, they all hid themselves in the darkness and stared vigilantly around.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew.
This gust of wind wasn't big, and it wasn't even cold, but it was just creepy, and goosebumps all over the body instantly.
Zhu Xiucai's ears moved slightly, and his expression became serious.
He didn't say a word, just made a gesture toward the crowd.
The goal is here!
Everyone looked in the direction of his fingers.
Under the cold moonlight, a few figures suddenly appeared in the yard of the inn.
It seems to appear out of thin air, and it seems to drift in with the cold wind.
By the moonlight, Qin Shaoyou and the others could clearly see the appearance of these figures.
They have pale complexion, strange blush, very strange expressions, and very stiff movements...
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a living person!
Suddenly, these people turned their heads in unison and looked towards Qin Shaoyou's hiding direction.
His eyes were gloomy, and he was full of murderous intent!
