Let me introduce, I am a professional celestial master
Chapter 27 Chicken Thief
Wu Nian was very interested in the amulet that Mingxing gave to Qian Yu, and he wanted to look at it, but the upbringing of the Wu family made him embarrassed to speak, so he could only look at his brother and Mingxing helplessly, hoping that they could understand him careful thinking.
Wu Wei looked at the amulets sent out by the orderly officer, and actually wanted them very much, but his own self-cultivation made him maintain the so-called reservedness on the surface even if he wanted it very much.
Who is Ming Xingyan, how could he not be aware of this point of view, seeing the reserved and entangled look of the brothers, reserved and patient, he secretly laughed in his heart.
In the end, Wu Nian couldn't hold it back anymore, and asked him if he could sell him a few amulets. He still had a lot of pocket money.And when Wu Nian was pitifully trying to buy a talisman, Wu Wei stood by and pretended to look at the scenery nonchalantly, but in fact, his little eyes were aimed at them from time to time.
I am going to be amused by Wu Wei's little tricks, and I don't know if what I said next is for Wu Nian, or for someone watching the scenery, "Paper amulets are not the best, wait two days , I will give you some jade carvings, the talismans carved from jade are more effective in nourishing your body."
"Brother Zhi, you are so kind!" Wu Nian cheered happily.
As for someone who was hiding not far away, a smile was quietly blooming.
The commanding officer glanced at Wu Wei, and asked Wu Nian unintentionally, "How many do you want, and who are you going to give them to?"
Wu Nianbaba nodded, "My parents, my grandfather, me and my brother, and Liang Zongzong. Brother Yan, can I have six?"
"Okay. It's just that I don't have so much jade here, and it may take two days before I can give it to you." For the task of life, the speed of making jade bracelets is actually the same as making paper amulets, but jade materials are difficult to find.
Just when Wu Nian was about to shake his head and say it's okay and he can wait, Wu Wei had already walked over hesitantly, "I'll ask someone to bring some jade over tomorrow."
Ming Xingyan Xindao this person is finally willing to come, don't think he didn't see him hesitating and hesitating several times.
The next day, as arranged by Wu Wei, I got a box of jade sent from the southwest early in the morning. There were ten pieces in total, all of which were the size of a fist. Let alone making six amulets, I made sixty None of them are a problem.
Mingxing glanced at the jade stones that occupied most of the table, raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Wei, "Is there too much?"
"Not much." Wu Wei said in a slightly disgusted tone, "Our jade company just happened to ship out a batch of jade wares two days ago, and used up a lot of good jade, otherwise we would have delivered more today. The quality of the remaining jade is not very good."
It's no wonder that the Wu family is rich and powerful.
He looked at the ten pieces of jade, which one was not the best jade, but now in Wu Wei's eyes, it has become an ordinary commodity with thousands of pieces.There is no doubt about the mission, if Wu Wei is given a few more days, the other party may be able to send tens of millions of jade stones that can be used as family heirlooms.
Ming Xingjun stopped the topic at the right time, "Now that the jade is in place, it will take me a few days to make the jade talisman. I will give it to you when I finish it."
Wu Nian was very happy, looking at these jades was like looking at some treasure, he couldn't put it down.
"Brother Xiao Nian, Brother Fifth, we're here to play again."
Chen Xiaoding knocked on the door of Ming's house with Chen Yaoyao in his arms.
Xiao Wu went to hug Chen Yaoyao and led Chen Xiaoding into the door at the same time.As soon as Chen Xiaoding came in, he rushed to Wu Nian's side, took his hand and said, "Brother Xiao Nian, shall we go fishing today? My dad said this morning that he saw fish in the pond."
The orderly officer knocked on the table, "You can't go to the pond, Xiao Ding, didn't you say yesterday that you want to watch chickens catch eggs?"
Chen Xiaoding complained, "My family lost two chickens in the morning, and my mother locked them up so that I wouldn't make trouble."
"Missing the chicken?"
Chen Xiaoding nodded, "It may be that the gate of the yard was not closed properly yesterday, and two chickens jumped out and I don't know where they went."
"Your mother is right, don't go anywhere today, just play at home obediently." Ming Xun pressed Chen Xiaoding to sit on the sofa, took out an exercise book from nowhere and stuffed it into his hands.
Chen Xiaoding looked horrified, he didn't understand why his elder brother's family had this!
Seeing that everyone was full of curiosity, Ming Xingyan explained, "Uncle Hou Zhong brought it over two days ago, saying that Chen Xiaoding has been playing too crazy recently, and asked me to find a chance to watch him do it."
Chen Xiaoding admired his orders the most, and he also obeyed his orders the most. Compared with his father's ten sentences, it was not as effective as a sentence said by his father.
The fact is indeed the case. After Chen Xiaoding was stuffed with the exercise book, although he was full of reluctance, he moved a stool and started to write on his stomach.
Xiao Wu and Wu Nian admired the prestige of being ordered to serve.
When Chen Xiaoding finished the exercise book, he didn't even think about playing, so he hugged Chen Yaoyao and ran away.
Wu Wei probably thought it was a good idea to do the military service, so he asked Xiao Wu to buy a few copies of Wu San that night, and asked Wu Nianzhong to walk Chen Xiaoding's way in the morning.Wu Nian was aggrieved, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only write papers and exercise books in his room pitifully all night.
The next morning, Wu Nianshen was afraid that his brother would take out another stack of Wusan, so he got up at dawn and followed Xiao Wu to the vegetable market to avoid the limelight.
Wu Wei looked at Wu Nian running so fast, he couldn't laugh or cry, as if he was the King of Yama.
And for so many days, Wu Nian is also the first time to go to the vegetable market in Sanxi Town with Xiaowu. It is said to be a vegetable market, but it is actually more like a small market. Just strolling around, I met several familiar people. Sanxi villagers.
Yesterday we talked about losing the chicken, today Xiao Wu wanted to buy a chicken stewed ginseng soup for Wu Wei to drink.After they finally found a stall selling chicken, those chicken vendors gathered there to chat.
When Xiao Wu and Wu Nian squatted to pick chickens, they could not help but hear their chat.
"Your family also lost chickens? How many?"
"Two, better than me. I lost four of them. I don't know which goddamned chicken thief is trying to catch my chickens."
"I don't know when this thief will be caught. If we continue to throw the chicken down like this, we will have nothing but yellow mud."
"In the past half month alone, I have lost more than 300 yuan. If this continues, I dare not raise chickens anymore."
"..."
Xiao Wu finally picked out a big fat chicken, and chatted with the chicken dealer while asking the price, "What are you talking about? A thief stole the chicken?"
The chicken dealer was a man, and he said carelessly, "That's right, we all belong to the same village, and the chicken thieves have harmed so many chickens."
The man next to him leaned over and cursed, "If I want to know who it is, see if I don't beat them up."
"Count me in."
"If you find it, let me know. I also want to see who did this sneaky thing."
"And I……"
Seeing the chicken dealers attacking in groups, Xiao Wu and Wu Nian silently withdrew from the battlefield.
On the way back, Wu Nian couldn't help but muttered, "Those chicken dealers are so pitiful. If a chicken is stolen, the family will lose a subsidy. If the chicken thief is caught, it's better to be locked up for a year or so."
"The vendors who bought chickens, if I remember correctly, seem to be villagers from Xiaoshan Village." Xiao Wu walked while carrying his things, "Xiaoshan Village is not far from Sanxi, Chen Xiaoding's chickens are probably from the same group A chicken thief did it."
Wu Nian asked anxiously, "Should we hurry back and tell the villagers in Sanxi?"
Xiao Wu immediately decided, "Let's go, go back and talk to the young master and the little god."
--
"The small mountain village also lost chickens?"
Mingxing heard Xiao Wu and Wu Nian talk about the chicken farm, and unconsciously frowned.
Wu Wei said seriously, "Xiao Wu, are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?"
"I'm sure, when I was running near Sanxi Town, I saw them come out of the small mountain village three or four times." Xiao Wu said with certainty.
Wu Nian said, "Brother, I feel like there is a plan. I'm afraid this matter will never end."
Wu Wei looked at Ming Xingyan, "What do you think?"
"Go and talk to the village chief first." Ming Xun stood up and was about to walk to the door.
And just as they walked out of the door, they saw Zeng Weiqiang, Chen Houzhong, and Li Fengsheng coming head-on.
When Zeng Weiqiang saw the mission, he immediately greeted him, "Little Immortal, where are you going?"
"I was just going to find you, village head, I have something to tell you." Ming Xun stepped forward to support Zeng Weiqiang.
Zeng Weiqiang waved his hand, "It just so happens that I have something to ask you, let's go to your house and talk about it."
In this way, several people ordered to return to the house.Wu Wei poured water for Zeng Weiqiang and the others, Zeng Weiqiang took a symbolic sip and talked about the business, "We came to find you today mainly because of the chicken loss in the town."
Mingxing frowned, "Lost a chicken? That's exactly what I want to tell you."
"Huh?" Zeng Weiqiang sat up straight, "What news did you get?"
Mingxing looked at Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu stood up and told the story of running into a small mountain village in the morning to discuss the loss of chickens again.
Zeng Weiqiang sighed, "I didn't expect Xiaoshan Village to lose chickens."
"What's the situation in our town?" Ming Xun asked,
Zeng Weiqiang: "Last week, someone in our town said that the chickens were lost at home. Today I did a statistics and found that there are quite a few lost chickens. After careful consideration, I think this matter is not easy."
According to Zeng Weiqiang's retelling, Chen Houzhong and Li Fengsheng added from time to time that they were ordered to understand the ins and outs of the whole incident.
The first family in Sanxi Town who lost a chicken was last week. At that time, they had the same reaction as Wang Chunhua lost the chicken this morning. They thought the door was not locked and the chicken ran away, and they didn't think too much.
And this is the first time that only two free-range chickens were lost.
Two or three days later, a second and third family of chicken losers appeared.They all lost their chickens on the same day, and one of the families clearly remembered that she locked the chickens in the chicken coop with the door closed, and the chickens could not escape by themselves.
Later, she suspected that there were thieves visiting, so she deliberately came out for a few days to watch, but she didn't expect that a week had passed and everything was calm, not to mention losing chickens, and no stranger in the town had seen one.
Then until these two days, the "chicken thief" who had been quiet for a few days came out again to do evil.In front of Chen Houzhong's house, three more families lost their chickens.That night, the people of these families put the chickens in the coop early, and after confirming that the door was locked several times, they fell asleep peacefully.Who knew that their family didn't lose any chickens the next day, but it was the turn of Chen Houzhong and his neighbors to lose four chickens one after another.
According to the neighbors of Chen Houzhong's family, this is not the first time their family has lost a chicken. It happened once a month ago.Grains and corn cabbage are thrown in from time to time afterwards.Because they didn't throw much away, they didn't worry about it, like those corn and cabbage, they just thought that someone in the family was greedy to eat them.
It was not until today that the chicken was lost again, and the family got together to talk about it and found out that no one in the family had eaten those grains and corn, and it was very likely that they were also stolen by chicken thieves!
Wang Chunhua has a violent temper, she couldn't bear it when the chicken was stolen from her head, so she directly called other people who had the chicken stolen and killed him at Zeng Weiqiang's house. The thief finds out.
The command officer was puzzled after hearing this, "Then you are looking for me..."
Zeng Weiqiang: "The chicken thief seems to know our daily routine very well."
The command officer interrupted him, and said displeasedly, "So you suspect Wu Wei and the others?"
Wu Wei, Xiao Wu and Wu Nian were the only people from other villages who appeared in Sanxi Town in the past half month.The three people who were eating melons were suddenly named, and they suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter. If one of them fails, maybe they will blame the chicken thief!
Wu Wei's expression froze, and he thought over and over in his mind how to clear them of the charges.
Zeng Weiqiang saw that they were all solemn and solemn, and smiled, "Little God, don't you have too much confidence in everyone? Everyone has watched you grow up, and your grandfather has contributed a lot to the town and helped us a lot. What do you think?" Shall we mistrust your friend?"
Chen Houzhong laughed loudly and said, "Little Immortal, everyone knows your character. Anyone who can be your friend must have good character. Besides, Mr. Wu and the others have not been in our Sanxi Town for a short time. We have been together for so long. , We in Sanxi Town dare not say that we know him well, but we must dare to say that they are not bad people."
"That's right. And why did they steal our chickens? Mr. Wu is not short of money at first glance. How much authentic free-range chickens do you want to buy?" Li Fengsheng interjected, "I watched TV and said that rich people eat at home. Most of them are abalone and ginseng, if I have abalone and ginseng, why would I eat chicken.”
Wu Youqianwei really wants to say that rich people don't usually eat abalone or ginseng every day.
"Village chief, what do you mean?" Seeing that Zeng Weiqiang did not come to question Wu Wei and the others, Ming Xun's expression softened.
Zeng Weiqiang silently slandered his face-changing speed, and then said seriously, "I also believe in other people in our town, but the chicken thief is very familiar with our work and rest. In fact, I doubt that there are wild animals running out of the mountain more than doubting people. .”
beast!
Wu Wei tensed his face, and said in a deep voice, "There are still beasts in Sanxi?"
Zeng Weiqiang nodded, "You should have noticed that there is a mountain behind our Sanxi. In the past, there were many wild animals in the mountain, and most of our ancestors lived by hunting. Later, when life became rich, hunting quit our lives. In fact, there were very few wild animals in the past two years, but It’s not impossible. Someone once ran into the depths of the back mountain and found the footprints of wild beasts.”
Mingxing said, "So you want me to make sure?"
Zeng Weiqiang: "Yes."
Wu Wei frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Chen Houzhong said, "We discussed with the village chief and decided to select a group of young and middle-aged men from the town to form a team and go into the mountains together tomorrow to see if there are any beasts that we don't know about."
The orderly officer pondered for a moment and agreed.
"There is actually another reason for my decision. Among the people who lost their chickens, one family said that a shadow seemed to have appeared at night. The shadow was only half a person's height, and it looked like a person lying on the ground with a bent body, with slender limbs. He didn’t behave like a human being at all. Because there was fog that night, the other party didn’t see what the shadow was.” Zeng Weiqiang stood up on crutches, with a cautious expression on his face, “I’m afraid it’s a beast. Hey, In fact, I would rather have people stealing chickens than wild animals stealing chickens, if it is really the actions of wild animals, I am afraid that wild animals will hurt people."
Mingxing also stood up, "Go and check it out."
"Please." Zeng Weiqiang patted Ming Xingyan's shoulder heavily, and left in relief.He hasn't informed the townspeople about the formation of a team to enter the mountain, and the number of people entering the mountain has to be determined tonight. There are many things, and he has to hurry up to implement them.
After Zeng Weiqiang and the others left, they were ordered to do whatever they should do, and they didn't seem to be worried about entering the mountain.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu and Wu Nian couldn't say anything.Wu Wei walked to Ming Xingyan's side, and said seriously, "We will follow you to see it tomorrow."
"Young Master!" Xiao Wu was startled, his young master's body is so weak, wouldn't it be more trouble to go into the mountain?
Wu Wei said, "I feel that my health has improved a lot recently. There is no problem entering the mountain, and I am not the only one going in. Xiao Wu, you have to come too."
Wu Nian heard that Xiao Wu was going too, thinking he could do it too, and looked at Wu Wei eagerly.However, Wu Wei just glanced at him lightly, "You stay at my house and take care of the house, don't run around."
Wu Nian loves to join in the fun at a young age, but he also knows what is more important.Wu Wei said so, although he felt it was a pity, but he couldn't get angry if he sneaked into the mountain team.
Wu Nian sighed, "Okay, I get it."
The command officer stared at Wu Wei for a long time, and after confirming that he really wanted to enter the mountain, he didn't refuse. He didn't feel that he didn't even have the ability to protect Wu Wei.Besides, despite Xiao Wu's baby face, he is also very fierce in fights.Sometimes a little five can stand up to several young adults in their village.The addition of Xiao Wu is also a guarantee for the rest of the team.
Mingxing took out a stack of talisman papers and stuffed them to Wu Wei, "You can go, but you have to follow me closely. This is the attack talisman used to blow up the python before. You should carry it with you and use it according to the situation."
Wu Wei clenched the talisman paper and smiled.
--
"You have to listen to the little fairy for this action. You can do whatever the little fairy tells you to do. If you tell you to go east, you must not go west. If you are disobedient, don't blame me for driving him out of Sanxi Town when you come back."
On the morning of the second day, the young people who signed up to enter the mountain gathered in front of Ming's house.Zeng Weiqiang had trouble with his legs and feet, so he didn't follow into the mountain this time, but handed over the command to Ming Xingyan and Li Fengsheng.
Li Fengsheng doesn't look at the simple and honest people, but when he gets angry, he looks like Zhong Kui, who can control half of the village.Usually being bullied by Waicun, it would be better to say that the name Li Fengsheng is more effective than asking anyone for help.
As for the command service, after Luo Fugui's moving of the grave and the civet's revenge, his prestige in the town has reached an unprecedented level. dirty stuff.
With such two god-like captains, Zeng Weiqiang was really not worried about any mistakes, so after explaining his instructions, he went home on crutches and waited for news.
The team is ready to go. The purpose of their trip is to confirm whether there are wild beasts in the mountains, not to fight with wild beasts. Therefore, they walk very fast after entering the mountains, and they will not stay in one place for too long unless necessary.
They walked for about an hour and finally reached the depths of the mountain.Along the way, except for some pheasants and hares, no footprints or traces of any large beasts were found.
Chen Houzhong said, "Did the village chief guess wrong? In fact, the chicken thief is a human being?"
Someone said, "I think so."
The other said, "Because there are few people now, the chicken-stealer has recognized himself, and now we recognize you as a man."
While the crowd was talking, Ming Xingyan slowly walked out of the crowd, came half a meter away, and looked down at the surrounding environment.After watching this for more than ten seconds, he suddenly walked quickly to a big tree, and with his short body, pushed aside the dense bushes under the tree.
Wu Wei has been paying attention to his movements, and seeing that he seemed to have discovered something, he called everyone to go over.
Li Fengsheng asked, "Little God, what did you find?"
The command officer used plastic bags to pack the things hidden in the bushes and spread them out for everyone to see, "It's the corpses of some small animals."
It is better to say that it is a corpse than the broken bones of animals.There were not many pieces of meat on it, and the bones were sparsely gnawed.Based on the number and thickness of the bones on a small poke on the plastic bag, everyone speculated that the owner of the bones was probably a small creature such as a pheasant or a sparrow.
Someone swallowed and said, "There can't really be wild beasts in the mountains."
Li Fengsheng said with a sullen face, "It's not sure, let's not scare ourselves, it's also possible that someone's dog is bored and came here to mess with sparrows."
Chen Houzhong followed, "Everyone just don't get separated. There are so many of us, so there is no need to be afraid of wild beasts."
As soon as Chen Houzhong finished speaking, everyone heard rustling sounds from the grass behind them.Everyone tensed up, Qiqi looked back.
As promised yesterday, Wu Wei stood beside Ming Xingyan when the voice came out, holding the talisman in his hand, not to cause trouble for them.
When everyone was sweating and ready to face the beast, a chubby orange cat suddenly emerged from the grass.The orange cat rolled around a few times, probably a little dazed, lying on the ground and staring at everyone stupidly, not paying attention to the mouse falling on the ground with its mouth in its mouth.
Li Fengsheng raised his forehead, "Is this the silly cat of Old Dong's family?"
"It couldn't be the guy who stole the chicken before." Chen Houzhong wanted to get angry, but seeing Daju's naive expression, the anger died before it arose.
The young people said one after another, "I think this is the guy."
"Old Dong's cat used to like to tease chickens and dogs like a troublemaker, don't let me see, it must be it."
"My family lost two chickens, and the debt will be on Old Dong's head."
"My family is also..."
After a false alarm, everyone couldn't help but relax, laughing and laughing at each other and started fighting against the owner of the orange cat, Old Dong.
"There seems to be a nest here."
When everyone was talking happily, Xiao Wu's voice suddenly sounded.
Ming Xingyan walked over first, and when he was about to reach Xiao Wu's side, a black shadow suddenly flew out and attacked Ming Xingyan.
"Little fairy!"
I don't know who yelled, and when the sound sounded, the command officer turned sideways to avoid the black shadow's attack. At the same time, a yellow talisman accurately hit the black shadow in an instant.
Snapped--
A smell of burnt meat rises.
Mingxing turned his head and met Wu Wei's calm and cold eyes.
Wu Wei looked at the amulets sent out by the orderly officer, and actually wanted them very much, but his own self-cultivation made him maintain the so-called reservedness on the surface even if he wanted it very much.
Who is Ming Xingyan, how could he not be aware of this point of view, seeing the reserved and entangled look of the brothers, reserved and patient, he secretly laughed in his heart.
In the end, Wu Nian couldn't hold it back anymore, and asked him if he could sell him a few amulets. He still had a lot of pocket money.And when Wu Nian was pitifully trying to buy a talisman, Wu Wei stood by and pretended to look at the scenery nonchalantly, but in fact, his little eyes were aimed at them from time to time.
I am going to be amused by Wu Wei's little tricks, and I don't know if what I said next is for Wu Nian, or for someone watching the scenery, "Paper amulets are not the best, wait two days , I will give you some jade carvings, the talismans carved from jade are more effective in nourishing your body."
"Brother Zhi, you are so kind!" Wu Nian cheered happily.

The commanding officer glanced at Wu Wei, and asked Wu Nian unintentionally, "How many do you want, and who are you going to give them to?"
Wu Nianbaba nodded, "My parents, my grandfather, me and my brother, and Liang Zongzong. Brother Yan, can I have six?"
"Okay. It's just that I don't have so much jade here, and it may take two days before I can give it to you." For the task of life, the speed of making jade bracelets is actually the same as making paper amulets, but jade materials are difficult to find.
Just when Wu Nian was about to shake his head and say it's okay and he can wait, Wu Wei had already walked over hesitantly, "I'll ask someone to bring some jade over tomorrow."
Ming Xingyan Xindao this person is finally willing to come, don't think he didn't see him hesitating and hesitating several times.

Wu Nian was very happy, looking at these jades was like looking at some treasure, he couldn't put it down.
"Brother Xiao Nian, Brother Fifth, we're here to play again."
Chen Xiaoding knocked on the door of Ming's house with Chen Yaoyao in his arms.
Xiao Wu went to hug Chen Yaoyao and led Chen Xiaoding into the door at the same time.As soon as Chen Xiaoding came in, he rushed to Wu Nian's side, took his hand and said, "Brother Xiao Nian, shall we go fishing today? My dad said this morning that he saw fish in the pond."
The orderly officer knocked on the table, "You can't go to the pond, Xiao Ding, didn't you say yesterday that you want to watch chickens catch eggs?"

"Huh?" Zeng Weiqiang sat up straight, "What news did you get?"
Mingxing looked at Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu stood up and told the story of running into a small mountain village in the morning to discuss the loss of chickens again.
Zeng Weiqiang sighed, "I didn't expect Xiaoshan Village to lose chickens."
"What's the situation in our town?" Ming Xun asked,
Zeng Weiqiang: "Last week, someone in our town said that the chickens were lost at home. Today I did a statistics and found that there are quite a few lost chickens. After careful consideration, I think this matter is not easy."
According to Zeng Weiqiang's retelling, Chen Houzhong and Li Fengsheng added from time to time that they were ordered to understand the ins and outs of the whole incident.
The first family in Sanxi Town who lost a chicken was last week. At that time, they had the same reaction as Wang Chunhua lost the chicken this morning. They thought the door was not locked and the chicken ran away, and they didn't think too much.
And this is the first time that only two free-range chickens were lost.
Two or three days later, a second and third family of chicken losers appeared.They all lost their chickens on the same day, and one of the families clearly remembered that she locked the chickens in the chicken coop with the door closed, and the chickens could not escape by themselves.
Later, she suspected that there were thieves visiting, so she deliberately came out for a few days to watch, but she didn't expect that a week had passed and everything was calm, not to mention losing chickens, and no stranger in the town had seen one.
Then until these two days, the "chicken thief" who had been quiet for a few days came out again to do evil.In front of Chen Houzhong's house, three more families lost their chickens.That night, the people of these families put the chickens in the coop early, and after confirming that the door was locked several times, they fell asleep peacefully.Who knew that their family didn't lose any chickens the next day, but it was the turn of Chen Houzhong and his neighbors to lose four chickens one after another.
According to the neighbors of Chen Houzhong's family, this is not the first time their family has lost a chicken. It happened once a month ago.Grains and corn cabbage are thrown in from time to time afterwards.Because they didn't throw much away, they didn't worry about it, like those corn and cabbage, they just thought that someone in the family was greedy to eat them.
It was not until today that the chicken was lost again, and the family got together to talk about it and found out that no one in the family had eaten those grains and corn, and it was very likely that they were also stolen by chicken thieves!
Wang Chunhua has a violent temper, she couldn't bear it when the chicken was stolen from her head, so she directly called other people who had the chicken stolen and killed him at Zeng Weiqiang's house. The thief finds out.
The command officer was puzzled after hearing this, "Then you are looking for me..."
Zeng Weiqiang: "The chicken thief seems to know our daily routine very well."
The command officer interrupted him, and said displeasedly, "So you suspect Wu Wei and the others?"
Wu Wei, Xiao Wu and Wu Nian were the only people from other villages who appeared in Sanxi Town in the past half month.The three people who were eating melons were suddenly named, and they suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter. If one of them fails, maybe they will blame the chicken thief!
Wu Wei's expression froze, and he thought over and over in his mind how to clear them of the charges.
Zeng Weiqiang saw that they were all solemn and solemn, and smiled, "Little God, don't you have too much confidence in everyone? Everyone has watched you grow up, and your grandfather has contributed a lot to the town and helped us a lot. What do you think?" Shall we mistrust your friend?"
Chen Houzhong laughed loudly and said, "Little Immortal, everyone knows your character. Anyone who can be your friend must have good character. Besides, Mr. Wu and the others have not been in our Sanxi Town for a short time. We have been together for so long. , We in Sanxi Town dare not say that we know him well, but we must dare to say that they are not bad people."
"That's right. And why did they steal our chickens? Mr. Wu is not short of money at first glance. How much authentic free-range chickens do you want to buy?" Li Fengsheng interjected, "I watched TV and said that rich people eat at home. Most of them are abalone and ginseng, if I have abalone and ginseng, why would I eat chicken.”
Wu Youqianwei really wants to say that rich people don't usually eat abalone or ginseng every day.
"Village chief, what do you mean?" Seeing that Zeng Weiqiang did not come to question Wu Wei and the others, Ming Xun's expression softened.
Zeng Weiqiang silently slandered his face-changing speed, and then said seriously, "I also believe in other people in our town, but the chicken thief is very familiar with our work and rest. In fact, I doubt that there are wild animals running out of the mountain more than doubting people. .”
beast!
Wu Wei tensed his face, and said in a deep voice, "There are still beasts in Sanxi?"
Zeng Weiqiang nodded, "You should have noticed that there is a mountain behind our Sanxi. In the past, there were many wild animals in the mountain, and most of our ancestors lived by hunting. Later, when life became rich, hunting quit our lives. In fact, there were very few wild animals in the past two years, but It’s not impossible. Someone once ran into the depths of the back mountain and found the footprints of wild beasts.”
Mingxing said, "So you want me to make sure?"
Zeng Weiqiang: "Yes."
Wu Wei frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Chen Houzhong said, "We discussed with the village chief and decided to select a group of young and middle-aged men from the town to form a team and go into the mountains together tomorrow to see if there are any beasts that we don't know about."
The orderly officer pondered for a moment and agreed.
"There is actually another reason for my decision. Among the people who lost their chickens, one family said that a shadow seemed to have appeared at night. The shadow was only half a person's height, and it looked like a person lying on the ground with a bent body, with slender limbs. He didn’t behave like a human being at all. Because there was fog that night, the other party didn’t see what the shadow was.” Zeng Weiqiang stood up on crutches, with a cautious expression on his face, “I’m afraid it’s a beast. Hey, In fact, I would rather have people stealing chickens than wild animals stealing chickens, if it is really the actions of wild animals, I am afraid that wild animals will hurt people."
Mingxing also stood up, "Go and check it out."
"Please." Zeng Weiqiang patted Ming Xingyan's shoulder heavily, and left in relief.He hasn't informed the townspeople about the formation of a team to enter the mountain, and the number of people entering the mountain has to be determined tonight. There are many things, and he has to hurry up to implement them.
After Zeng Weiqiang and the others left, they were ordered to do whatever they should do, and they didn't seem to be worried about entering the mountain.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu and Wu Nian couldn't say anything.Wu Wei walked to Ming Xingyan's side, and said seriously, "We will follow you to see it tomorrow."
"Young Master!" Xiao Wu was startled, his young master's body is so weak, wouldn't it be more trouble to go into the mountain?
Wu Wei said, "I feel that my health has improved a lot recently. There is no problem entering the mountain, and I am not the only one going in. Xiao Wu, you have to come too."
Wu Nian heard that Xiao Wu was going too, thinking he could do it too, and looked at Wu Wei eagerly.However, Wu Wei just glanced at him lightly, "You stay at my house and take care of the house, don't run around."
Wu Nian loves to join in the fun at a young age, but he also knows what is more important.Wu Wei said so, although he felt it was a pity, but he couldn't get angry if he sneaked into the mountain team.
Wu Nian sighed, "Okay, I get it."
The command officer stared at Wu Wei for a long time, and after confirming that he really wanted to enter the mountain, he didn't refuse. He didn't feel that he didn't even have the ability to protect Wu Wei.Besides, despite Xiao Wu's baby face, he is also very fierce in fights.Sometimes a little five can stand up to several young adults in their village.The addition of Xiao Wu is also a guarantee for the rest of the team.
Mingxing took out a stack of talisman papers and stuffed them to Wu Wei, "You can go, but you have to follow me closely. This is the attack talisman used to blow up the python before. You should carry it with you and use it according to the situation."
Wu Wei clenched the talisman paper and smiled.
--
"You have to listen to the little fairy for this action. You can do whatever the little fairy tells you to do. If you tell you to go east, you must not go west. If you are disobedient, don't blame me for driving him out of Sanxi Town when you come back."
On the morning of the second day, the young people who signed up to enter the mountain gathered in front of Ming's house.Zeng Weiqiang had trouble with his legs and feet, so he didn't follow into the mountain this time, but handed over the command to Ming Xingyan and Li Fengsheng.
Li Fengsheng doesn't look at the simple and honest people, but when he gets angry, he looks like Zhong Kui, who can control half of the village.Usually being bullied by Waicun, it would be better to say that the name Li Fengsheng is more effective than asking anyone for help.
As for the command service, after Luo Fugui's moving of the grave and the civet's revenge, his prestige in the town has reached an unprecedented level. dirty stuff.
With such two god-like captains, Zeng Weiqiang was really not worried about any mistakes, so after explaining his instructions, he went home on crutches and waited for news.
The team is ready to go. The purpose of their trip is to confirm whether there are wild beasts in the mountains, not to fight with wild beasts. Therefore, they walk very fast after entering the mountains, and they will not stay in one place for too long unless necessary.
They walked for about an hour and finally reached the depths of the mountain.Along the way, except for some pheasants and hares, no footprints or traces of any large beasts were found.
Chen Houzhong said, "Did the village chief guess wrong? In fact, the chicken thief is a human being?"
Someone said, "I think so."
The other said, "Because there are few people now, the chicken-stealer has recognized himself, and now we recognize you as a man."
While the crowd was talking, Ming Xingyan slowly walked out of the crowd, came half a meter away, and looked down at the surrounding environment.After watching this for more than ten seconds, he suddenly walked quickly to a big tree, and with his short body, pushed aside the dense bushes under the tree.
Wu Wei has been paying attention to his movements, and seeing that he seemed to have discovered something, he called everyone to go over.
Li Fengsheng asked, "Little God, what did you find?"
The command officer used plastic bags to pack the things hidden in the bushes and spread them out for everyone to see, "It's the corpses of some small animals."
It is better to say that it is a corpse than the broken bones of animals.There were not many pieces of meat on it, and the bones were sparsely gnawed.Based on the number and thickness of the bones on a small poke on the plastic bag, everyone speculated that the owner of the bones was probably a small creature such as a pheasant or a sparrow.
Someone swallowed and said, "There can't really be wild beasts in the mountains."
Li Fengsheng said with a sullen face, "It's not sure, let's not scare ourselves, it's also possible that someone's dog is bored and came here to mess with sparrows."
Chen Houzhong followed, "Everyone just don't get separated. There are so many of us, so there is no need to be afraid of wild beasts."
As soon as Chen Houzhong finished speaking, everyone heard rustling sounds from the grass behind them.Everyone tensed up, Qiqi looked back.
As promised yesterday, Wu Wei stood beside Ming Xingyan when the voice came out, holding the talisman in his hand, not to cause trouble for them.
When everyone was sweating and ready to face the beast, a chubby orange cat suddenly emerged from the grass.The orange cat rolled around a few times, probably a little dazed, lying on the ground and staring at everyone stupidly, not paying attention to the mouse falling on the ground with its mouth in its mouth.
Li Fengsheng raised his forehead, "Is this the silly cat of Old Dong's family?"
"It couldn't be the guy who stole the chicken before." Chen Houzhong wanted to get angry, but seeing Daju's naive expression, the anger died before it arose.
The young people said one after another, "I think this is the guy."
"Old Dong's cat used to like to tease chickens and dogs like a troublemaker, don't let me see, it must be it."
"My family lost two chickens, and the debt will be on Old Dong's head."
"My family is also..."
After a false alarm, everyone couldn't help but relax, laughing and laughing at each other and started fighting against the owner of the orange cat, Old Dong.
"There seems to be a nest here."
When everyone was talking happily, Xiao Wu's voice suddenly sounded.
Ming Xingyan walked over first, and when he was about to reach Xiao Wu's side, a black shadow suddenly flew out and attacked Ming Xingyan.
"Little fairy!"
I don't know who yelled, and when the sound sounded, the command officer turned sideways to avoid the black shadow's attack. At the same time, a yellow talisman accurately hit the black shadow in an instant.
Snapped--
A smell of burnt meat rises.
Mingxing turned his head and met Wu Wei's calm and cold eyes.
