Demon Gatekeeper [Unlimited]
Chapter 43
"What's the matter?" Dugu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly opened the door and asked, ignoring the charming thoughts in his heart for a moment.
"Didn't you tell the mayor to release the grain this morning? I went there to see it, but when I got there, there was a fire in the backyard of the grain depot. I heard that someone sneaked in and poured kerosene on the grain, and then burned it all. When I arrived, the fire was being put out there. And I heard that the guard on duty at that time was also found passed out by the side of the road, unable to wake up, so I ran back quickly. Do you think it will burn like yesterday? Is there a group of people in the temple?" The doctor said anxiously.
Arson again?Dugu thought, it is indeed very likely that it is a person.At least in time.
But why did he do this?But Dugu didn't understand what the person who lit the fire wanted to do, was he going to kill the whole town?Or is it aimed specifically at players?
Dugu asked the doctor: "I'm going to visit the lunatic's house now, do you want to come together?"
"Okay." The doctor thinks that it is better to have a direction than no direction. Now the gate of the grain depot is full of people, merchants, dignitaries, civilian NPCs, players and demons. If you go there, you may not be able to find any useful clues. Why don't you follow Dugu first? Go meet the maniac in his mouth.
Just as he was about to leave, Yu Yuan suddenly said, "Brother Jia, I want to go to the grain depot to see the situation first, and then I will meet you later."
Dugu thought for a while, it would be better to divide the troops into two groups, so it is not easy to miss any information, so he nodded straightforwardly: "Okay, then I will wait for you at the jade mining field."
"Well. I'm not here, brother, be careful." Yu Yuan asked worriedly.
"I'll go too." Nian Xiuzhu appeared behind the doctor.
The doctor got a headache when he saw Nian Xiuzhu, and wanted to scold him for being haunted, but considering that she had a serious business to do now, with more people and more strength, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
"Okay." Dugu was very happy, his two reserve teammates took the initiative to get together and act together, is it still far from agreeing to form a team?
"Take this with you." Nian Xiuzhu took out a hairpin and threw it to the doctor rudely.
The doctor was about to say "Why", but when he looked down, he was stunned.The hairpin is woven from slender bamboo strips, and a piece of tulle is perfectly passed through by the bamboo strips, hanging down naturally.As a decoration, the end of the green hairpin is also tied with a bow with bamboo strips.It turned out to be quite nice.
"You did it for me?" The doctor looked at Nian Xiuzhu incredulously while holding the hairpin.
"Otherwise, I picked it up on the ground?" Nian Xiuzhu said, still the straight bamboo stick who choked to death.
The doctor wears a bamboo hairpin on his head, half covered by the white gauze, and the contours of the facial features are faintly visible, which arouses people's imagination.
The doctor took a look in the mirror, and for the sake of the good-looking card, he didn't bother with Nian Xiuzhu for the time being.
Yu Yuan didn't go to the grain depot, but went to the house of the grain depot manager's house familiarly.
He just pretended to be a grandson in front of the mayor, and was scolded by the manager of the grain depot. As soon as he turned around, he heard his servant report that the young man who came here a few days ago suddenly visited him, and now he is waiting for him at his house, and he almost spit out old blood on the ground.
The desire to survive made him rush back home quickly, and greeted Yu Yuan who was sitting in the room with a big smile on his face: "His Highness the God of Light is here, it really makes the humble house shine, and I have kept you waiting for a long time, I don't know what you can do ?”
"Of course I want to inquire about the fire in the grain depot." Yu Yuan tapped the edge of the table lightly with his index finger, and ordered: "Pick up the key points, I'm in a hurry."
"Yes, yes." Steward Qian wished that the God of Plague would leave early, and said quickly, "I only found out about this in the morning. I don't know which NPC is crazy, or the game has already buried a hole. In short, he should first We stunned the man dumping the dung, replaced the dung truck with a barrel of kerosene and dragged it to the grain depot, and then stunned the guards, and when we found out that the fire was coming, the man would have already run away.”
"The dung cart was thrown at the back door of the grain depot. The old man who dumped the dung was picked up in the gutter of Zhongjie. Together with two guards, all three of them were unconscious. The doctor in the town saw it and didn't know why. .”
"How much food is left?"
"Less than one-tenth."
"How does the mayor plan to divide?"
"The mayor said that he only protects the people in his house and the guards in the town, and the others will be killed if they dare to make trouble."
"I see." Yu Yuan stood up.
"Go slowly." Guanshi Qian was overjoyed immediately, he didn't expect the other party to let him go so quickly this time.
Looking at Yu Yuan's back, Guanshi Qian showed some confusion in his eyes.
I heard that in previous games where the God of Light appeared, none of the demons died because of elimination, but all of them were killed in the game.Mr. Big is now under player control.Mr. Er is dead, and Mr. Third is left. Neither he nor Mingyue is the opponent of the God of Light. The God of Light can kill them one by one, but the God of Light did not do anything.This does not match the rumored cruel and ruthless God of Light.
The hut where the lunatic lived, Xiu Zhu was moving a long bamboo the year before last to push the door open.The rest of the doctor and Dugu are waiting far behind.
The inexplicable ability of the arsonist to make people unconscious made them a little afraid.The doctor recalled that Pao Ding was only fainted after catching up with him, which meant that the method of coma had a distance limit, so Dugu planned to confirm from a distance first, whether he was at home or not.
But when the door was opened, the three found that the lunatic was not at home.
The three walked cautiously into the lunatic's thatched cottage.Compared with the dilapidated appearance of the thatched hut, the inside of the house was unexpectedly clean and tidy, not at all like a place where a lunatic lived.The room is divided into two rooms. In the outer room, there is an old desk with many books and bamboo slips on it. There is also a tall bookcase next to it. There are also many books. The edges of these books are somewhat rough, indicating that the owner often reads them.On the window sill, there is a flower stand with a lot of flower pots placed high and low, besides there are tools for planting flowers and a pile of black seeds. Next to the flower stand is an added iron pot, and there are some bottles and jars around it. , and a stone console.
"It looks like it's going to be alchemy." The doctor looked the bottles up and down, and didn't dare to flip them rashly for fear of getting something poisonous.
Nian Xiuzhu found unused kerosene and flint behind the door: "Look over here. I guess he set the fire right."
Dugu walked towards the back room, and was surprised to find an old man lying on the bed in the back room.
The old man's hair was already gray, his eyes were staring blankly at the front, when he heard footsteps, he asked hoarsely, "Are you here to find Lianlian?"
"You are?" Dugu stopped at the door, vigilantly not approaching.
"I'm Lianlian's grandpa." The old man coughed twice: "It's been a long time since anyone has been here. What do you want to see Lianlian?"
Dugu: "I want to ask him something, grandpa, do you know where he is?"
"I don't know what he's busy with every day, but he'll come back when it's time for dinner. This kid is filial. I'm blind and paralyzed. He's taken care of me for years. As long as he doesn't travel far, he never misses three meals a day. , I know that his life is very hard, and I can't bear to eat and drink, so I bought medicine for me."
This statement greatly exceeded Dugu's expectations. That person who looks crazy outside is actually a filial son and grandson at home?That person who burned down the grain depots of the whole town in one go, has been saving money to treat grandpa?
Which one is his true face?
"Grandpa, have you always lived here?" Dugu tentatively chatted with the old man.
The old man seemed to have not chatted with outsiders for a long time, and was suddenly opened up by someone, very chatty: "We are the lineage of tomb guards, so naturally we have to guard by this cemetery."
"Gravekeeper?" Dugu repeated, thinking, no wonder he has to live alone next to this cemetery.
There was a bit of pride in the old man's voice: "Yes, the cemetery keeper. Our Yu family has been guarding this cemetery for hundreds of years, as long as this town. The incense has not been prosperous all the time, Lianlian takes me, an old man, and no girl is willing to marry him. Lianlian listens to me for everything else, except for marrying a wife. He always says that he is still young, he They are in their twenties, but they are not young."
Seeing that the topic was going all the way towards family succession, Dugu hurriedly brought it back to the topic: "Does he usually like to grow flowers? I see there is a flower stand outside."
"You said the one outside. Those were brought back recently. I heard that they were given to him by a friend Lianlian met outside. Lianlian said that this kind of flower is called honeysuckle. Soon, as long as it rains, the next day will quickly take root and sprout, and flowers will bloom from the ground."
"It's so powerful, are the flowers easy to sell?" Dugu asked following the old man's words.
"Okay, Lianlian told me that there was a big client recently, and he ordered a lot of flowers at once. He also said that when the business is over, he will build me a big house and find a few maids to serve me. Damn, I Half of his body has been buried in the ground, why are he still tossing about those people, I am now hoping that he will earn more money to marry his wife and have a bunch of fat boys."
Honeysuckle.Dugu silently memorized this flower name.I just don't know which friend the outside friend is, and where the big customer's statement comes from.
There were footsteps outside, and the lunatic's sober but alert voice: "What are you doing here?"
Dugu turned to look at the lunatic at the door: "Mr. Yu, I wonder if I can take a step to speak."
Yu Lian's eyes were fixed: "It's you?"
Yu Lian remembered Dugu. He had been pretending to be crazy for so many years, and Dugu was the only person who helped him. Unfortunately, he was a jade picker.
"Let's go, go outside. I can tell you anything you want to know." Yu Lian closed the door for Grandpa.
The three of Dugu walked outside the hut and distanced themselves from Yu Lian.Dugu looked at Yu Lian with a clear expression: "You are not crazy, why are you pretending to be crazy?" And he has deceived the whole town for many years.
"I'm not crazy." Yu Lian looked in the direction of the town: "But they are all crazy."
"You mean about Qiongzhi jade?" Having seen his companion die from poisoning after eating Qiongzhi grass, Dugu actually agrees with Yu Lian's statement.
Yu Lian showed a little surprise: "So you all know."
"I just found out last night." Dugu said, "So you really started the two fires?"
"It's me." Yu Lian admitted directly.
"Why burn down our residence?" Dugu asked.
"I'm helping you. If you've ever seen the fate of a person who ate Qiongzhi grass, you will know that it is a kind of luck to be burned to death." Yu Lian said confidently.
Dugu didn't argue with him, and continued to ask: "What about the grain storage? Are you going to starve all the people trapped in the town to death?"
"They deserve what they deserve, and I think they've been allowed to live too long." There was undisguised hatred in Yu Lian's voice.
"Didn't you tell the mayor to release the grain this morning? I went there to see it, but when I got there, there was a fire in the backyard of the grain depot. I heard that someone sneaked in and poured kerosene on the grain, and then burned it all. When I arrived, the fire was being put out there.
