,!
"No, everything is up to the elders' arrangements." Zhujiang still looked that simple and honest.
Malan seemed to hate his smiling face, even more disgusted than Yang Kai's silent look, but no one answered at the moment, so he could only say: "Then just do it according to this first, the village chief said that he will be there tomorrow." The second son will come back. Maybe the two of them coming back will be an opportunity. The second son is likely to be a key figure. When the time comes, you should try your best to deal with him. "
"Don't worry, elder." Hu Liang agreed proactively.
"Everyone prepares his own things." At this time, Malan also dismissed the meeting.
Several people returned to their assigned rooms. Lin Haoming and Hu Liang were in the smallest room, which was closest to the stairs. Malan deliberately chose the large room at the back so that the rest of the people could sneak in secretly. go out.
Niu Hong was ordered to go down to chat with the village elder's wife and come up with some words. Lin Haoming and Hu Liang were making preparations. When they went out together, they pretended to be good brothers. However, after they were left alone, Hu Liang kept a distance from Lin Haoming. As if with a bit of contempt.
Lin Haoming didn't know where his contempt came from, but he could probably guess that becoming the guardian of Yingtianmen probably had a high self-esteem, and such a person probably had some means, and as long as he thought of directly participating in the pursuit of a person, he would not even be able to do so. The difficult task of gathering the maximum number of people shows that they have absolute confidence to survive the task, and they are more like a subordinate in the task, but this can also make it easier for them to do things.
Niu Hong stayed down there for a while, and Lin Haoming and Hu Liang came to Malan's side to draw a sketch. They all moved very quickly, and soon a sketch appeared. Malan then asked others to come over and draw the sketch. Remember them all.
Not long after, Niu Hong and the village elder's wife came up with hot water for people to wash. After washing, everyone pretended to be tired and fell asleep, hoping that the village elder's wife would fall asleep earlier.
Maybe it was because people couldn't sleep because they were old. The village elder's wife didn't really fall asleep until almost midnight. Lin Haoming and others also received the signal from Malan, and then several people carefully dressed and came downstairs.
After getting down, Lin Haoming discovered that the same protector, Hu Liang, who looked younger, was now taking charge, reminding him in a low voice: "Everyone, take a look first. There is no surveillance around before you act."
Hearing this, Huacang took the initiative to pretend to go out for a walk, and then came back and said: "There is no one."
Seeing what he said, several people also went out separately and headed towards their goals.
On the sketch, some of the main locations were marked. Malan and Niu Hong walked around the village carefully before eating and explored the village clearly. The locations of the village chief's house and the priest's house were also marked.
There was really no one to be seen outside at night, which made Lin Haoming somewhat uneasy. The family of the sacrificial wolf Tu family lived closest to the Red Lake, and it was said that Lang Tu's wife and daughter had died long ago and they had been living alone.
When they arrived at his residence, they saw that it was a house very similar to the village chief's second son's house, but the door was locked. Hu Liang pointed directly to the open bed on the second floor and motioned to Lin Haoming to climb up first.
Lin Haoming didn't care about this. He took a few steps back, then rushed forward and stepped on the wall. Finally, he grabbed the window and looked inside. Unfortunately, he didn't see anything, but it seemed that no one was in the room. .
After climbing in, Lin Haoming signaled that there was no problem here, and Hu Liang also climbed in.
After climbing in, Hu Liang took out a lighter and lit it up.
Lin Haoming didn't expect that he still had such a thing. It was probably in his backpack early in the morning, just like the folding knife in his own backpack.
The layout inside the house is really the same as my own residence, with three rooms upstairs, a large living room and kitchen downstairs, and a separated hut.
Perhaps because he lived alone, the room was not locked, and the room he climbed into had a variety of food on it and the window was open. It looked like the goods had just been received and ventilated to dry.
The room that you entered through the window was in the middle. After walking out of the room, you saw that the doors to the two outer rooms were open. Hu Liang made a gesture to look inside first and then outside before going down.
The room inside is more like a bedroom, but after walking in, this large room is not a bedroom at all, but like an altar. Where the bed was originally placed in the room, there is an altar table, and behind the altar is a person. The straw man wore a woman's mask and bright red clothes. Under the flames of the lighter, he looked particularly weird. If ordinary people saw it, they would probably jump up in fright.
Seeing such a scene, Lin Haoming was a little surprised that the hidden reward task had not been triggered yet. When he walked closer, he saw that the straw man in red was tied up with two black ropes. Before Looking at it at the door, I thought it was a belt or something, but now I realized it was not at all.
Normally, candles are lit and offerings are placed on a normal altar table, but not only are there none here, instead, there is a bowl made of red clay and burned paper in front of the altar table. There is an iron ingot in the bowl, and there are two glasses of wine on each side of the bowl.
Hu Liang went up to take a look, then smelled it a little, and then asked Lin Haoming in a low voice: "It's not wine or blood. Hu Shan, do you know what it is?"
Lin Haoming also moved forward, raised his eyebrows, and took a look for himself. The stuff inside was red, and he was very familiar with it. He said, "This is made from cinnabar powder. There may be cinnabar everywhere in this red valley, and even It’s a cinnabar mine itself.”
Hu Liang nodded, and then looked at the straw man who was the same size as a normal person. Lin Haoming seemed to recognize his attitude, and just wanted to see if he recognized it, or to confirm it more.
Lin Haoming looked at other places here and found that there were runes painted with cinnabar on many places on the surrounding walls.
"This place is very weird. Let's go and see Langtu's room." Hu Liang's face became solemn at this time.
Of course Lin Haoming would not refuse, so the two of them went to the outermost small room. As a result, there was no one in the small room, and this should be Lang Tu's room. There were also the clothes he wore during the day on the bed.
There was no movement below, and Lang Tu was not here, which made the two of them confused. Hu Liang thought about it, and then motioned to go down and take a look.
The living room is similar to an ordinary living room. Although the space is not small, everything can be seen clearly at a glance.
The living room and kitchen were blocked by a curtain. When Hu Liang lifted the curtain, the two of them were shocked. They saw Lang Tu here, but at this moment, he was lying on the edge of the kitchen water tank, holding the water tank with both hands. , as if he was drowning himself in a water tank.
