This year's monsters are super fierce [75]

"Go, I must go and see the pig demon."

Zhao Zhen strongly supports going to the southern suburbs to see clearly. He hasn't been out of Beijing for a long time, so why not go and see for himself because it is an important matter of demolition and relocation.

It is estimated that the Great Court will be held once every ten days, and there is no need to sit on the dragon chair for half a day for the rest of the time.According to the round-trip distance, you can stay outside for at most two nights, and you can return to Beijing before the next big court. This visit in Weifu is perfect.

"Brother Zhao, this matter..." Zhan Zhao didn't expect that Zhao Zhen's restless heart would come out to make trouble again after hearing Shopkeeper Niu's words.Now I really don't want Zhao Zhen to go out of Beijing, it is always unavoidable to be risky in white clothes.

Zhao Zhen could not be persuaded by Zhan Zhao, he had been fighting wits and courage with Bao Zheng for a long time, and he knew how to advance and retreat freely.

"If there are really pig demons killing countless people in the southern suburbs, then we must stop the site selection for demolition and resettlement. This matter is no small matter. I can't go to other places too far away, and I can't go to the suburbs of Beijing. Isn't everything kept in the dark? Just go during the day Take a look in the grass."

"Brother Zhao must go." Yan Buzhou pulled Zhan Zhao's hand under the table, signaling that he doesn't need to persuade him anymore.Don't let Zhao Zhen sneak around, it's better to keep him under surveillance.

"However, Brother Zhao must understand the order and prohibition. Never act alone, isn't it difficult?"

Zhao Zhen promised with a straight face, "Don't worry, I've always done things properly, and I won't make things difficult for you."

No one is worried.

Zhan Zhao picked up the teacup, turned around and decided to ask Mr. Bao if the emperor has been busy lately?

The southern suburbs are really desolate.

The weeds grow in large tracts, and there is a feeling that there is no end in sight.

Niu Ning, the nephew of shopkeeper Niu, thought about coming here afterwards, and he came here with a few friends to check out the site because he was really too busy. Obviously, the government has not yet confirmed that this is the resettlement site for the demolition in the future.

"It's right there, facing east." Niu Ning pointed to the weeds five or six feet away. The grass was higher than knees, and people could clearly see the general figure of the passerby.

"The four of us were frightened that night, but we couldn't all be hallucinating together. However, when we checked again the next day, there were no traces in the ground."

There is no traffic in this area, Zhan Zhao can be sure when he arrives at the place, this place is not included in the first batch of resettlement site selection plans.

Just two miles to the east, there is a small forest.

There are indeed no beasts in the forest, but the mass graves of the past few decades.If you think about it with your toes, you know that you have chosen this place, which will inevitably arouse strong dissatisfaction among those demolished households.

The scope of the southern suburbs can be very large, and there is no need to carry it with the mass graves first, so this place is no longer within the survey range at all.

Yan Buzhou took a few steps first, and stood still at the point where it was said to be the appearance of the pig demon. There was indeed no trace of pig's trotters here, and there was no evil spirit or ghost spirit left behind.

Half a month is not short, if the monsters just pass by unintentionally, unless there are special circumstances, there will be no monsters everywhere.

Looking at Zhan Zhao's position, the two nodded to each other, confirming that there is no obstacle at such a distance.

Even on a dim night at the beginning of the month, if the two really meet again, they can indeed roughly see each other's appearance.

On the third day of July, the four of Niu Ning were clear-headed and determined that they hadn't drunk alcohol. They only ate a few biscuits and drank some water.It can also be said that those people are stupid and bold, so they come to explore the wild grassland at night.

It is unlikely that the four of them got it wrong at the same time. The pig-headed man in red should have appeared, and this is where the incident happened.

After half a month, on the uninhabited grassland, you can still see some stampede marks left by the four of Niu Ning last time.However, there are only traces of four people, and there are not many more.

Zhao Zhen, Hei Yi and the other three guards looked around carefully back and forth. They didn't find any weeds had been cleaned up, but they didn't see any trace of blood either.

"This is a bit strange. If there are five or six heads in the front and back baskets of the shoulder pole, and they are not covered with a layer of cloth, and people can see them alive, but there is not a drop of blood along the way."

Zhao Zhen didn't have any experience in solving crimes and felt weird. The so-called pig monster picked two baskets of blood-stained human heads?

"Niu Erlang, you have seen the face of the pig demon clearly, but have you seen clearly the appearance of the human head in the basket? Is there any blood dripping or something?"

Niu Ning nodded with certainty, "It was dark at the time, so we couldn't see the face of the dead man's head, but there must have been bleeding, and we all heard the sound of blood dripping on the grass."

Zhan Zhao estimated the distance of five or six feet away, it's normal that he couldn't see the dead head clearly. "And what about the smell of blood?"

"Of course there is a taste."

As Niu Ning said, he subconsciously hugged himself with both hands, which was even more sinister, "I definitely didn't smell blood. We were all terrified at the time, and only Brother Pan smelled a faint sweet smell."

sweetness?

Blood tastes sweet?

This thing is getting more and more strange.

But Zhao Zhen was thinking about something and suddenly said, "This scene is a bit familiar, I may have encountered it before. The pig demon may be true, but the head is Niu Erlang and they missed it. Ah Yan, did they see the challenge? Watermelon?"

Niu Ning was completely dumbfounded. He had heard of many kinds of melons, but he had never heard of a watermelon that looked like a human head.

She didn't speak well but thought it was very possible. It was not surprising that Niu Ning didn't know what a watermelon was. She hadn't seen a watermelon in Bianjing yet.

It is hard to say whether there were watermelons in the imperial palace of the previous dynasty, but it is certain that the common people must have never seen them.

More than 100 years later, Bianjing of the Song Dynasty gathered all kinds of rare treasures from all over the world, but there is no shadow of watermelon in the melon and fruit market for the time being.

I don't know when this object was spread from the Western Regions to the Liao Kingdom, and it was only seen in the royal family in the Liao Kingdom.

Before, Jiaoying went to the Liao Kingdom to sell pearls, and brought back some seeds. Last year, Ying Wangdong, who was good at gardening, tried to plant them.

In June of this year, I just got about [-] good watermelons, and I didn't want to send them to Zhao Zhen to taste them, probably because the first one to eat crabs is often not the emperor.

But when Zhao Zhen was wandering around to the Flower Shop, he asked for half of it to enter the palace.In the dog days, Bianjing is very hot. When you see a watermelon, can you not move your stomach?

At that time, Zhao Zhen promised that as long as the taste was good, the promotion of watermelon would be on him when there was a large harvest in the coming year.

A few days after Yan Buzhou returned to Bianjing, he missed the first batch of watermelons, so he had to wait quietly for the second batch.She hasn't met Ying Wangdong yet, so she doesn't know if the melon field has been stolen.

However, a watermelon is as big as a human head, so if it is broken, there will be a sound of dripping water.

Moreover, it is still a red melon sac, under the blurred moonlight, people who are not familiar with it may think it is a half-opened head at first sight.

"After I brought the watermelon home, someone cut it and said that it looked like it was cutting off a human head."

Zhao Zhen thought about the situation at that time. He had heard of this precious fruit from the Liao King's Palace in the early years, but he didn't stop eating it because it looked like a human head.Eating watermelon in summer can't be more refreshing.

Listening to what the two said, Niu Ning probably knew that Mr. Yan opened a flower and tree shop, and thought that Zhao Zhen was a partner in the fruit and vegetable business.

Thinking of the horrible scene of the pig monster picking people's heads that night, I still can't imagine how delicious watermelon can be, and how anyone will buy this kind of melon to eat in the future.

Niu Ning knew that he couldn't say such words without winking. He said, "As long as it's not a human head, it doesn't matter whether it's melon or not."

"How can it be unimportant!"

Zhao Zhen didn't think so. The orchard produced about a hundred watermelons this year, and more than a dozen were stolen. Doesn't that mean that the possibility of him buying it again has decreased.

People who have never eaten watermelon are simply winter worms who cannot speak of summer, and cannot imagine how important its taste and comfort are to summer.

"Especially the light sweetness. This one fits the taste of watermelon juice. The pig demon is haunted and there is no blood. It is really possible that it is not a human head. You should check with shopkeeper Ying immediately."

As Yan Buzhou spoke, he looked at Zhan Zhao, who was wandering back and forth in the grass to the east a few meters away. "Brother Zhan, is there a new discovery?"

Zhan Zhao is not sure if it can be considered as a discovery. There are no traces of pig's trotters or human feet, but there are imprints of bird claws.

"It's not surprising that wild birds and pheasants come and go, but you look at this hole in the ground. It's just enough to reach an arm, but it's so deep that you can't see the end, and you don't know where to turn. Look at the condition of this hole, it's newly dug. , not more than a month."

A string of bird paw prints on the ground, and a freshly dug hole where it disappeared?Do birds burrow like this?

Yan Buzhou went to have a look, and there was still no evil spirit here, but the combination of bird's claws and pig's head made the corners of her mouth curl up.

"If I'm not mistaken, what Niu Ning and the others encountered is probably a raccoon with a pig's body and chicken feet. This monster is good at construction, so we must find it. If it really touches my watermelon, it should pay off the debt with its own body. I have been looking for the Huangfu construction team for three years, and finally found it."
