"Who is there!" Wuhe led the militiamen and ran over. When he saw it was her, he looked surprised, "Girl of the Yi family? Are you not dead yet?!"
"Huh?" Zhan Changfeng casually put the booklet into the medicine basket, "Do you have anything to do with me?"
Wuhe's suspicious eyes became alert, and everyone else clenched their weapons.
One person asked, "Where have you been in the past ten days?"
Zhan Changfeng noticed the change in their expressions and felt suspicious in his heart, but he didn't care about his tone, "I have been studying social studies, where else can I go."
Wuhe's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Nonsense, there is no such person as you in Social Studies. We searched all over Qingbai Mountain and we didn't find you."
"How is that possible? I also took part in the archery assessment this morning."
Everyone in the militia group looked at each other, and Wuhe moved his lips, "...you say it again?"
"I also took part in the archery assessment this morning, and my husband and classmates can all testify." Zhan Changfeng said impatiently, "What exactly happened? Tell me what you have to say."
"But... the shooting test took place ten days ago." Wuhe said in a deep voice, "You have been missing for ten days."
Zhan Changfeng was startled. She had already prepared to fast forward, but she didn't expect that this time it would not be a matter of day and night, but a direct leap of ten days.
She knew that it was the mist in the mountains that was causing trouble, but it was hard to explain how these people believed in such strange and confusing things.
As expected, no one in the militia group believed it. Wuhe suppressed the fear in his heart and said, "You go back with us first."
The look in their eyes was not confusion after hearing something incredible, but a look of fear, which made Zhan Changfeng a little wary, "Where are you going?"
"Go to Juyi Hall."
Juyi Hall is the headquarters of the militia group, and it is also equivalent to the law enforcement office of Qingbai Mountain. There is no shortage of interrogation rooms and prisons. She has only been missing for ten days, so she has not yet reached the stage of trial.
At this time, Wuhe comforted him, "Something happened in the village. You are in danger now. It is best to stay in Juyi Hall. We will protect you."
Zhan Changfeng couldn't imagine what danger she might cause, "What's the matter?"
"He's dead." Wuhe said as he walked, "We thought you were the first victim, but we couldn't find the body."
Wuhe starts from the beginning. It turns out that one day after the archery assessment, someone fished out a skeleton from the river. The entire frame was eaten clean, making it impossible to identify his identity during life.
Two days later, another skeleton was found, this time in his house.
This person's name is Wang Huan, a student of social studies.
The next day, another person died, still in the same way. After comparing the members of the militia group, they found that all three of them were sociologists.
"So what does it have to do with me?" Even if it was aimed at social studies, it had nothing to do with her.
Wuhe looked gloomy and remained silent.
However, a thin man spat, "You were there that night when we were attacked by wolves, right?"
"Zheng Bai!" Wuhe shouted, "I told you, this is nonsense."
The man named Zheng Bai said excitedly, "Fuck you, it's not your son who died. Of course you are talking nonsense. Did you see that the people who were killed were all people who had besieged the wolves? These must be those beasts." Revenge!"
After speaking, he glanced at Zhan Changfeng secretly.
Wuhe didn't seem to find any words to refute, so he just scolded and shut up.
Zhan Changfeng watched without saying a word, and finally followed them back to Juyi Hall.
They said it was for protection, so they actually arranged a single room, with about ten people guarding the door.
Zhan Changfeng cooperated when he had a place to sleep.
"Please stay here for a while."
After Wu He finished his sentence and was about to leave, the person behind him suddenly asked, "How many are dead?"
He shivered slightly and replied, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
The leader of the militia group disappeared quickly, his back looking anxious.
Zhan Changfeng pinched his little finger, was he afraid of the dead person, or of her?
As soon as Wuhe walked into the duty room over there, Zheng Bai rushed in front of him, "The witch, it must be the witch who did it, otherwise why would she disappear?"
"Good guy, we caught him this time." Zheng Bai gritted his teeth and smiled, full of ferociousness.
"Nonsense!" Wu He almost poured the water on the table into his face, "I know how painful it is for you to lose your son, but how can you believe the rumors outside for no reason!"
"You say this is a rumor?!" Zheng Bai asked, "Do you really know this person?"
"Obviously he is just a child, how can he go in and out of Beacon Mountain and Good Medicine Mountain, which is full of dangers?"
"You are still young, but how can you get the aura that has been accumulated for a long time?"
"Okay, if that doesn't count, how do you explain her manipulation of the wolves on Beacon Mountain?"
Zheng Bai had done enough homework, and the more he checked about Zhan Changfeng, the more he felt something was wrong. Considering the rumors outside, he had already confirmed his guess that she was the incarnation of a wolf monster in the mountains.
Wuhe scolded, "You believe this too. There are many strange people and strangers in the world. Do you care if she understands animal language?"
"Furthermore, if she was transformed into a wolf monster, why did she save people in the first place?"
"Do you think this is saving people?" Zheng Bai shook his head and said radically, "This is a conspiracy. This is her conspiracy to sneak into the village and gain our trust."
A person who is carried away by hatred is terrible, and a person who is carried away by hatred and is still good at association is horribly stupid.
Zheng Bai had already determined what he believed to be the truth, or in other words, he couldn't find the unknown murderer, but he found a person who he couldn't like at all. The anger that was filled with the pain of losing his son finally found someone to vent on. There is no need to believe otherwise.
Under his resolute affirmation, Wuhe felt guilty. He did not believe the statement of one moment in the mountain and ten days at the foot of the mountain. At the same time, he felt that rumors could not arise out of thin air and must be based on facts.
So he rebuked Zheng Bai righteously, but actually put Zhan Changfeng under house arrest. He secretly comforted himself that he was being strictly guarded. If something happened to someone else... Although this assumption is not very ethical, it is still possible. Can clear her suspicion.
However, there are indeed several people protected in another courtyard of Juyi Hall, such as Cheng Zhigao.
Leng Yi'an and Leng Yuzi have innate masters in their family, so they don't need to live here yet. Xiao Shaobai refuses to leave his sister, and doesn't believe in the wolves' revenge, so he doesn't move in either.
There were originally thirteen people, including Zhan Changfeng, but now there are only six left.
Seven people died silently in ten days. People in Qingbai Mountain, which had been peaceful for a long time, were panicked. Some people were shocked and suspicious when they saw Zhan Changfeng returning to Juyi Hall with the militia group.
Suddenly the rumors started again.
Originally, the relationship between her and the wolves was held in a vague way, but this time it was directly reported that she was captured and brought to justice.
Suddenly, all kinds of true and false opinions arose.
"I just said there's something wrong with the one by the lake. I feel uncomfortable every time I get close to it."
"One time I passed by her house and heard the sound of gnawing bones. I thought there was a dog, but now I get goosebumps just thinking about it."
"It's so scary. How could such a monster appear in our village?"
"Maybe he's possessed by something dirty. It's so pitiful."
...
"Who raised the head?" Yu Sheng rubbed her brows and closed the book in her hand. The bright candlelight reflected her solemnity in front of others.
"Xiao Shaobai."
"Xiao Shaobai?" Yu Sheng sighed, "It should have been him, but there was a rift with her during the hunting trip. How many people in He Guangzhi were taught a lesson by her again, or maybe there was a bit of my relationship involved, this kind of open-mindedness How can a person who is narrow-minded and determined to retaliate easily give up?"
There are some things she doesn't know, but if she wants to know, she will know clearly.
It’s just that she can’t move now, as the real murderer has yet to show up.
"Go put the rumors to rest."
