Card Room - 81. 101.Chapter 101

【Chapter 101, Liuxi Village 07】

Xiao Lou didn’t notice any problems in the kitchen until Yu Hanjiang explained in a low voice: “Look, the chimney on the kitchen roof has no traces of smoke.”

Xiao Lou looked up when he heard the words and found that the chimney on the roof was very clean. Most people’s kitchens open fire every day, and the chimney will definitely be blackened, but the chimney of the old lady Qin’s house is like a newly built house, without any trace of blackening—the old lady Qin obviously never cooks in the kitchen. There must be some secret hidden in the kitchen.

Perceiving Yu Hanjiang moving forward, Xiao Lou immediately followed.

The two entered the kitchen wearing invisibility cloaks-now the stove is very clean, cutting boards and knives are also very new. There are some firewood in the corner of the kitchen, bundles and bundles, neatly arranged, but the bottom of the stove is not Without soot, it looks like it hasn’t been a fire in a long time.

Yu Hanjiang’s gaze swept across the kitchen quickly. Except for the stacked firewood, the other places were empty and there was nothing suspicious, but in the corner of the stove was a pot about 50cm high with red paper pasted on it. The words “rice wine” are written on it in black writing brushes, and it looks like a jar of rice wine stored in the kitchen by the old lady.

This is the most common rice wine jar in farmers, but Xiao Lou suddenly felt something was wrong, so he leaned in to smell it, and said softly: “Team Yu, this tastes a bit strange, not like wine.”

Yu Hanjiang walked over quickly and gently opened the lid of the jar.

A strong strange smell rushed over, and the stomachs of the two people rushed. Yu Hanjiang hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, frowned and looked into the jar-I saw that the turbid water was filled with a few white trees. Human bones.

After all, Xiao Lou had seen many human specimens in the laboratory. Seeing these did not feel uncomfortable, he lowered his voice and said calmly: “This is the smell of formalin. Old lady Qin is making human bone specimens in a wine jar.”

Formalin is a medicine commonly used in medical schools to soak corpses, which can ensure that the corpses will not decay. Various pathological specimens in the laboratory are also soaked in formalin. No wonder Xiao Lou felt that the taste was a bit familiar.

Yu Hanjiang looked ugly: “This old lady Qin not only raised a fierce Tibetan mastiff, but also used human bones in the kitchen. She must have a problem. We will search her house as soon as possible.”

No gems were found in the kitchen, but human bones that have been soaked in the wine jar for many years are also important clues.

The two left the kitchen and walked into the east room.

There are two bedrooms in Mrs. Qin’s house. One of them is very strangely decorated, with white curtains, white beds, and white curtains hanging on the roof… Almost all she can see is white.

Yu Hanjiang whispered: “It’s not like a bedroom, it’s more like a mourning hall.”

Xiao Lou nodded approvingly, and quickly scanned the room, but found no spiritual position or portrait. He was a little puzzled and said: “The old lady Qin has arranged the house like this. She should be paying homage to some relatives? Will it be her husband?”

At her age, the mourning hall may be very large to commemorate the deceased husband, but there is no other clue about the deceased in the room. The two quickly searched and found a delicate wooden box under the table. Xiao Lou opened it and looked inside. There is a recess that looks like a gemstone, but the box is empty.

At this moment, he heard the strange man’s voice in the hall: “We have taken the gems. You two should search elsewhere as soon as possible.”

The voice quickly went away. Obviously, the other two challengers who entered the house of the old lady Qin at the same time searched the mourning hall first, and found this gem. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were a step slower, but they were not without gain.

The two continued to search the old lady’s master bedroom.

Different from the “mourning hall” style of the second bedroom, the master bedroom is arranged normally, and the sheets and duvet cover are all blue and clean, which is the favorite of the elderly. They found a comb and a mirror on the table.

Wait… the mirror? !

How can a blind person need a mirror?

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were taken aback at the same time.

At this moment, they saw that an old face suddenly appeared in the mirror.

——It’s the old lady Qin!

The old lady came back unconsciously and unconsciously. Her footsteps were extremely light, like a ghost, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were completely unaware of it.

Holding the majestic Tibetan mastiff in her hand, her eyes looked at the mirror like a vicious snake. Although Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were invisible, they suddenly saw an old face appear in the mirror. Everyone was taken aback.

Fortunately, they were used to seeing all kinds of corpses in the secret room of Hearts.

Old lady Qin said coldly to the air, “Someone came into the house to steal something.”

The Tibetan Mastiff screamed two times angrily into the air.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang stood in the corner of the wall silently, only to see the old lady Qin walking slowly to the bed with a cane, reaching out her hand and groping to find the mirror, wiped it with her sleeve, her voice was hoarse and hoarse. : “Don’t think that my old lady is blind and can’t see, my heart is very clear. I have known for a long time that people who bully the blind will be punished sooner or later, ha ha ha…”

Her laughter was like a ghost in the depths of hell.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang held their breath, and did not dare to make any noises to startle the old man. The two stayed tacitly, both wanting to see what the old lady would do next. She took out a purse from her pocket with trembling hands, put it in front of her nose and smelled it, as if she was missing something, and then cried out, “Xiao Hei.”

The Tibetan Mastiff heard the master’s call and immediately came to her feet and rubbed her feet. The old lady leaned over and touched its head, and sneered: “This village is isolated from the world, they can’t walk far.” She put her purse on the Tibetan Mastiff. In the nose, let it smell, and said softly: “The things they stole also have this special scent on it. You follow the smell to find them, and you must catch them back for me.”

The Tibetan Mastiff sniffed it, then wagged its tail, and a black shadow quickly rushed out.

Xiao Lou sensed something wrong, activated the Peach Blossom Spring skill, and teleported directly into Peach Blossom Spring with Yu Hanjiang space.

The two took off their invisibility cloaks, and finally they could see each other clearly.

Xiao Lou found that Yu Hanjiang’s face was ugly, and he thought his face must not be so good either, because this secret room also left a big hole for the challenger-it needs to be cleared, and gems must be found, but the gems have a special fragrance.

Dogs have very good noses. There are many people in this village who raise dogs. Once Mrs. Qin mobilizes the whole village to find them, even if the challenger hides in the mountains, he cannot escape the fate of being found.

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, “Unexpectedly, there is a special smell on the gems.”

Xiao Lou’s face is serious: “The Ace of Spades is too pitted. There are a total of 7 gems in Liuxi Village. Everyone will be eager to find them in order to clear the customs. Finding the gems is equivalent to putting a special taste label on your body. It is very easy. Attracting the chase of the villagers.” Thinking of the danger in the village, he hurriedly said with a spiritual channel: “Xiaoye, Mr. Shao, how is the situation on your side?”

Ye Qi’s voice came in his ear: “Don’t worry, the village chief’s house, Niuniu’s house, and grandmother’s house. I have put three bugs in place on the map drawn by Yu team.”

With the teleport card, Ye Qi and Shao Qingge are indeed very convenient to move, and the bug can be placed at a distance of 100 meters. They only need to hide behind the tree and remove the bug on the wall of the villager’s house. .

The next moment, Ye Qi suddenly burst out a swear word: “I wipe! There are many dogs in the village running out. These dogs keep smelling with their noses, as if they are looking for someone?”

Xiao Lou’s expression changed: “You come back soon, there is danger in the village!”

Ye Qi and Shao Qingge didn’t want to stay too much. Fortunately, they both wore invisibility cloaks, and with the help of teleport cards, they ran all the way, and soon returned to the ruined temple on the mountain.

Xiao Lou pulled them into the Peach Blossom Spring.

Peach Blossom Spring is an independent space, even if you chat loudly inside, people outside cannot hear it.

Xiao Lou told the clues that the old lady Qin had found, Ye Qi’s face paled slightly: “This old woman is too abnormal, she actually soaked human bones in the jar! Isn’t she the murderer of the slaughterhouse back then? ”

Xiao Lou said: “I’m not sure. There is a mourning hall in her home, and there is a jar of dead bones in the kitchen. So far, she is really suspicious.”

Yu Hanjiang added: “There is another problem. The old lady’s relatives are not there and currently live alone. There is no sign of fire in her kitchen. Obviously, she doesn’t usually cook by herself, so how can she solve it when she eats?”

Ye Qi thought carefully, and said, “By the way, when I was investigating in the village with Mr. Shao just now, I found that Old Lady Qin was out walking the dog and stopped by the village chief’s house. She stayed at the village chief’s house for ten minutes. He also tied the Tibetan Mastiff at the door, maybe she is going to eat?”

Yu Hanjiang asked: “Have you seen the village head?”

Ye Qi shook his head: “I didn’t see it. Hearing the sound, it should be a young man.”

Yesterday, the old lady Qin sent a person to notify the village chief. Yu Hanjiang took note of the person’s moving path and locked the position of the village chief’s house when investigating in the village at night. There were two big willow trees at the door, which was very obvious.

The old lady Qin who lives alone seems to have a good relationship with the village head, and it is possible to go to his house to have a meal.

Xiao Lou immediately asked: “That village doctor-is there anything abnormal in Grandma’s house?”

Ye Qi said: “When I went to put the wiretap just now, grandma grandma happened to be cooking in the kitchen, nothing unusual.”

He turned on the wiretap, and at this moment, some conversation came from the wiretap——

The young woman worriedly said: “Grandma, our Niuniu was in the rain a few days ago and has been running a low-grade fever. Today she suddenly developed a high fever and she is still talking nonsense. Do you think she is serious?”

An old voice said: “You put Niuniu on the bed, I’ll check it.”

After a rustling noise, the old man’s voice went on to say: “Niuniu is a wind-heat attacking the lungs, and her watch is at odds with her. That’s why she has fever, chills, throat swelling and soreness. I will give you a prescription. I went back and boiled medicine for my daughter, and drank three times a day… Give her an extra quilt to sleep at night, and don’t blow the cold wind to aggravate her condition.”

The woman said gratefully, “Thank you, grandma.”

The grandmother asked with concern: “Your second sister-in-law, are you about to give birth?”

The woman smiled and said, “Yes, I heard from my second brother that my sister-in-law’s due date is just a few days away.”

The grandmother nodded: “Well, you have to make preparations in advance.”

The woman said: “At that time, I will have to trouble my mother-in-law to deliver my sister-in-law. There is only one doctor in our village. It’s really hard work.”

Granny grandmother smiled and said: “It’s okay, I’m old, my hands and feet are in trouble. My little apprentice is about to be a teacher. In the future, people in the village will be sick, so let’s see her.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a crisp voice from a girl in her ear: “Mother-in-law, Yun’s medicine is ready.” She walked lightly, walked over and handed the medicine to the woman. Then Yun’s wife said with a smile: ” Thank you Xiaoqing, then I won’t bother.”

The girl said: “Sister Yun go slowly.”

After the woman left with the child, there was a sudden jingle in the room, followed by the sound of a crumbling jar. The grandmother said helplessly: “Xiao Qing, you are good with everything, but your movements are frizzy. This is already the fifth medicine jar you have knocked over.”

Xiaoqing smiled embarrassedly and said: “I’m sorry, mother-in-law, I can’t see it, you have so many bottles and cans of medicine, I always can’t remember the location…”

The grandmother said: “You have to remember quickly, when your mother-in-law dies, the village will rely on you in the future. There are more than one hundred households with headaches and brain fever. There is no doctor. If you are sick, don’t you wait for death?”

The girl said seriously: “I know, I will study hard.”

The grandmother began to teach the girl to judge various pulse conditions and to recognize the smell of some medicines. The girl studied hard. After listening to Xiao Lou for a moment, she didn’t hear that it was wrong. She looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, “This grandmother sounds very caring, not like it. It is a murderer who can kill dozens of people and bury their bodies in the backyard of the ruined temple. This girl named Xiaoqing should be seventeen or eighteen years old. She was not born when she slaughtered the village.”

Yu Hanjiang said, “Listen to the village chief again.”

The eavesdropping channel was switched to the village chief’s house, and the old lady Qin came to the door with a cane. The young village chief asked in a low voice, “Aunt Qin, you mean, things from your house were also stolen?”

Yu Hanjiang keenly noticed the word “also” and raised his ears.

Sure enough, the old lady Qin said: “Xiao Liu, someone sneaked into your house last night, did you not notice it at all?”

The village chief said helplessly: “I slept very badly. When I got up in the morning, I found that the contents of the box were missing. My Ah Huang didn’t call. I don’t know if I was stunned. It is usually called when someone comes to the house. Even when acquaintances from the village come, it will call a few times to let me know.”

Old lady Qin said with a hoarse voice: “These things are very important, and we must get them back as soon as possible.”

The village chief said puzzledly: “You have always kept us guarding these seven stones, saying that they are the rules passed down from generation to generation. Aunt Qin, can you tell me what exactly these stones do?”

Old Mrs. Qin coughed a few times and said slowly: “You should have heard that our village was cursed a long time ago, and the mountain temple was destroyed, so our ancestors will be blind for generations. Those gems are pointed by experts. In the seven locations in the village, they can form a formation, break the curse, and let us restore the light after seven generations…”

The four of Xiaolou looked at each other.

Does the old lady Qin really believe in this way of breaking the curse, or does she deliberately deceive the village chief with her mouth full of nonsense? If it is the former, then she may be an ignorant old lady, if it is the latter… her suspicion is too great.

At this moment, the old lady Qin suddenly stopped and shouted sharply: “Who is outside? Come out sneakily!”

After a jingle, there was a rush of footsteps fleeing.

Xiao Lou said: “It should be a challenger who found something wrong and went to the village chief’s house to eavesdrop. Challengers who can walk to 4 of Spades have a little skill. We have Ye Qi’s eavesdropping card. They must also have different eavesdropping information. method.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded, with a serious expression: “According to the information currently known, the seven gems are in the village step by step according to a formation. The old lady said that in order to break the curse of blindness, the gems were scattered and displayed. The formation allows the villagers to guard, which undoubtedly gives us an important clue for finding gems.”

He found out the layout map of Liuxi Village that he drew yesterday, quickly marked a few points, and said: “The first gem, if it is correct, is in the backyard of the ruined temple. The one who first found the bone pit last night Take away the girl.”

He pointed to the location of the village chief’s house: “The second gem was last night. A bold and smart challenger lurked into the village chief’s house. What method was used to control the big yellow dog in the village chief’s house and stole it overnight. gem.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “The third one is the one from the old lady Qin. When we wore the invisibility cloak to look for it, two challengers also wore the invisibility cloak and found the gem before us.”

The four of them looked down at the floor plan.

The three locations that have been marked, the Pomiao on the West Mountain, the village head’s house, and the old lady’s house, seem to form a triangle.

Xiao Lou always felt something was wrong when he looked at it. He turned around and looked at it sideways from a different angle, taking the one in Xishan as the starting point, then he stretched out his hand and tried to connect the three gems with lines.

He found that he had written the word “人”, and the one in Xishan was the apex of the word “人”.

Xiao Lou’s eyes lit up: “Looking down from the air, the part of the stone should be a simple diagram of the human body. The one in Xishan is the human head, and the two in the village head’s house and the old lady Qin’s house are located. Symmetrical, they are two human hands. If you want to draw a human shape, you still have the neck, abdomen, and two legs. All the vertices add up to exactly seven.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “The neck, that is, the two hands extend upwards in the opposite direction, and the head extends downwards, at the junction of the three lines -” He pointed precisely to a location on the map: “It’s a pond.”

Xiao Lou nodded and said, “The lower abdomen is the family in the east of the village, with two feet in the farmland in the southeast direction?” After he drew these positions on the map, he took a closer look and it turned out that it was a human figure. picture.

Shao Qingge and Ye Qi looked at each other.

The two great hearts of hearts have solved the secret of the gem location so quickly!

Sure enough, eavesdropping on the conversations of NPCs and finding key information is also very necessary in the Secret Chamber of Spades. Otherwise, look blindly, who knows where the gems are in such a big village?

The location of the seven gems is actually a huge human body structure with the head on the west hill, the foot on the farmland, and the entire Liuxi village.

Shao Qingge said in a happy mood: “Then we can find two gems at random, won’t we at least guarantee customs clearance?”

Xiao Loudao: “Simple customs clearance, you can indeed find gems. Now three gems have been taken by other challengers, and there are not many left. We want to clear the customs to find two, so we have to hurry up.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “Villagers start a large-scale search. The smell of gems will lead the villagers to the West Mountain. It is no longer safe. It is better for us to go the other way and look for it in the farmland to the east.”

Xiao Lou smiled slightly: “I think so too.”

Yu Hanjiang simply put away the map: “Let’s go.”

Shao Qingge followed behind them with a smile, thinking-it feels so good to lie down and win!

Add more, everyone.

This village is weird, but everything will have a reasonable explanation. Look forward to the protagonist team to solve the mystery.
