Lin Jingzhe was really afraid that Ziyu would implicate the villagers of Bailu Village, so after leaving the Yamen, he wrote a letter and had it delivered to Yuelai Inn.
He knew that the Second Senior Sister and the Fifth Senior Sister were both staying at the Yuelai Inn, so he asked them to reveal their information to the old witch and lure her to come and make a final settlement.
"You idiot, you even ran away, why did you come back?" Ling Xue held the letter and cursed.
"Senior sister, can you please suppress this letter? I want to persuade that idiot."
"Silly sister, if persuading him works, he won't come back." Hu Bingqing sighed and said, "There are so many good men in the world, why do you worry about him."
"Who cares about that idiot?" Ling Xue pouted and chased after him.
"Lao Wu, come back early."
"Got it." Ling Xue responded and had already reached the stairs.
"Junior brother, junior brother, since you've already left, why do you come back to stir up this troubled waters? Hey, it's not like you don't know master's methods."
Night falls, west city, main road.
"Captain Liu, are you sure you want to go into battle in person?" Li Lizheng was stunned when he saw Captou Liu in disguise, "Didn't you ask someone to dress up in disguise? How come you have to go into battle in person?"
"Sir Li Zheng, it's not like you don't know that we only have a dozen or so police officers in Yelou Town. Even if we recruit a few veterans to defend the city, there are only eighteen of them, which is not enough."
"Didn't you promise me your credibility and say that this time luring the enemy has a 100% success rate?" Li Lizheng touched his forehead and said with shame, "I was so shameless that I told the fairy aunt that they didn't need to take action."
"That's why I said it's 100% luring the enemy. There's nothing wrong with it." Liu Captou said again: "Master Li Zheng, don't worry, as long as I personally go into battle, the snake monster will still be captured alive by me with its tail between its legs. Even if We can’t trap the snake demon, and those fairies won’t just sit idly by, and besides, it’s not necessarily the snake demon who is responsible.”
"If it's not a snake demon, it's easy to say." Li Lizheng said, "But what if it is really a snake demon?"
"Don't worry, I've already prepared it." Liu Captou said reliably: "I'll ask someone to borrow a large bag of realgar from the drugstore, mix it with wine, and wait aside. If the snake monster comes, let her have some time. No return.”
"Realgar?" Li Lizheng paused and said, "You are still thinking carefully, but I would like to remind you again that safety is the first priority in everything."
"I know, it's so long-winded." Liu Captou laughed and scolded, "Wait for me to come back and have a drink."
"Okay." Li Lizheng said, "I'm waiting for your good news."
After seeing off Li Lizheng, Capt. Liu also dismissed the surrounding police officers, asking them to take their places and wait for news about him.
Liu Captou dressed up like a scholar, shaved off his beard, put on scholarly braids, and carried a book basket on his back. There were several books in the book basket, and underneath the books were a dagger and a pot of Xionghuang wine.
It's night, midnight.
Liu Captou walked out of the house on the main road, carrying a book basket on his back, holding an oil lamp in his right hand and a wine flask in his left hand. He imitated the drunken pace and walked towards the side road in the west city.
Except for the mummy in the east city that appeared in a house on the main road, the other six mummies appeared in the deserted streets in the west city.
It is impossible for people to say that they are not afraid when walking at night.
Knowing that someone was following behind him, Capt. Liu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He looked at the darkness ahead. Even before he reached the side road, he could feel the chill.
He picked up the wine bottle and took a sip of wine to feel brave.
He walked slowly and unhurriedly, imitating drunkenness, and stumbled into a side street.
It was a dark, moonless night, and even with a hand-held oil lamp, I could only see things within a foot in front of me.
It was quiet all around, maybe because it wasn't really early spring yet, and the cries of night insects were hard to hear.
Half a mile along the side road, no bluestones were touched, and yellow dust flew up when people stepped on them.
Liu Captou was holding an oil lamp, so he could naturally see the ground clearly.
Half an hour later, he had almost completed the side road in the west city, and still no incident had occurred.
He couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "Is it possible that the snake demon received the message that we were going to arrest her, so she didn't show up?"
A little unwilling to give up, he went back the way he came, stumbling down the side road like he was drunk.
"If the oil lamp burns out and the snake demon hasn't appeared yet, then we have no choice but to go back first." He thought to himself and took another sip of wine.
"Brother, I've sprained my ankle. Come and carry me on your back."
Just when he was about to give up, a woman's cry for help came from the weeds in front of him. The voice was like a piano, gentle and pleasant.
"Sure enough, he's here." Liu Captou secretly thought to himself, pretending to be a scholar, and imitating a scholar's tone: "Who, who is there? Don't, don't scare me. Is it a human or a ghost?"
"We are human, you nerd." The woman responded from a distance.
The woman was still ten feet away from him, and it was late at night. How could she clearly see her scholarly appearance? Could it be that she was really a snake demon in human form.
Liu Captou couldn't help but flashing through this year in his mind, and his heels started to tremble involuntarily.
In order not to make the snake demon suspicious, he held the oil lamp in his hand and stumbled to the woman's side.
"Girl, what are you doing walking alone on this wild road in the mountains in the middle of the night?"
Under the illumination of the oil lamp, Liu Captou discovered that the woman sitting on the ground was actually beautiful, with skin as white as snow. What was even more terrible was that the two jade peaks between her knees were even more alluring.
"No wonder those people were sucked into mummies. Such beauty is rare in the world." Liu Captou thought to himself.
"Brother, please don't stare at people like this, they will be scared." The woman covered her face and said shyly.
"Ah, I'm sorry, where did I just ask?"
"Brother Young Master, you just asked me why I showed up so late on this wild road in the mountains."
"Yes, you are asking me here, why did the girl show up here so late?"
"I originally wanted to find my cousin, but I stumbled while walking, and then I saw the young master. Can the young master carry me on my back?"
"Ah, of course. I am the most willing to help others." Capt. Liu responded while secretly laughing in his heart: "These are all lies with loopholes, and there are still people who believe them?"
"I'll untie the book basket first, and then I'll carry the girl on my back." Liu Captou put the wine bottle and the oil lamp aside, stood up again, and gently untied the book basket.
"Well, Young Master, I'm done." The woman's voice was soft and sweet.
Liu Captou put down the book basket, gently reached into the book basket, took out the realgar wine, turned around, and removed the stopper. The turbid wine instantly spilled onto the woman.
"Ah!" With a scream, the woman jumped up quickly like a frightened jade rabbit and hid in the grass behind her.
At the same time, Capt. Liu took out a loud arrow from his waist and shot it into the air.
"boom!"
There was an explosion, and there was a thunder in the sky, and the light flashed like daylight.
"Over there!"
There was a scream in the darkness, followed by a dozen torches lighting up in the forest not far away at the same time. There were about a dozen footsteps, approaching at a very fast speed and outflanking the place.
"Monster, let's see where you run!" Liu Captou quickly picked up the short knife in the book basket, took the oil lamp, and chased the woman to where she fled.
"You can tell me clearly who is the monster." The woman was spilled with wine, and the smell was extremely fishy. She immediately lost interest, casually pulled out the soft sword at her waist, and stabbed the head of Mr. Liu who was chasing him.
"It's amazing that you, a goblin, can actually use a sword." Liu Baotou swung his sword to block it, and when they touched each other, the sound was like an explosion.
"What a snake demon. He can still be so strong after taking a shot of realgar wine." Liu Captou frowned and thought to himself.
"Aren't you a scholar? Are you pretending?" The woman saw that the scholar was wielding the knife with steady force and heaviness. He looked nothing like a weak scholar who could only write and speak.
"I won't change my surname when I stand, and I won't change my name when I sit down. I am Liu Sandao, the famous Liu Baotou in Yelou Town."
"Pfft." The woman chuckled, "If you return the three swords, I won't let you spare a single one."
After saying this, she was soft and sharp, like a poisonous snake, cunning and changeable, decisive and ruthless.
Liu Captou had seen this kind of move before, and he was immediately overwhelmed and in a hurry. Even the oil lamp was thrown aside by him while he was resisting.
"Hmph, even with this little ability, I still want to catch this girl." The woman suddenly sheathed her sword and retreated back.
Due to the loss of light from the oil lamp and the inertia, Capt. Liu hadn't noticed that the woman had retreated, so he still waved his knife to resist, but gradually he felt relaxed and at ease, and his confidence surged again.
"Captain Liu, where is Captor Liu?" At this moment, a voice sounded in his ears, and he realized what he was doing, put away his knife and stood up.
"What are you yelling about? Aren't I just standing here?" Captain Liu glared at the man and said.
"Captain Liu, I mean where is the monster?"
"Her? She ran over there, why don't you chase her quickly?" Liu Captou felt that he was in a state of embarrassment today, all because of the banshee.
"This monster is not afraid of realgar wine. Isn't it a snake monster?" Liu Captou frowned. Just as he bent down to pick up the oil lamp on the ground, he heard a woman's angry voice coming from the direction where the banshee was escaping.
"Wang Shuya, it's really you bitch."
"Hmph, senior sister, you're fine."
"Since you betrayed the master, why did you come to harm mortals?"
"It's all your love and mine, so why harm them? Since they feel comfortable, I also feel yang."
Why do they need to be comfortable and I need to be yang-qi, so why do all these tiger food words appear in a woman's mouth? Liu Captou suddenly felt dizzy. This was the first time he heard a woman dare to shout these words of tiger and wolf openly.
"Hmph, just kill someone and build a memorial arch for yourself. Wang Shuya, don't you think you are ridiculous? You have even forgotten the teachings of your master?"
