During the day the next day, everything seemed calm in Xie's house.
Shen Tianshu continued to treat Jialin's injured leg. The elder was still guarding the ghost master's room, and the ghost master was still in a coma.
But privately, Mrs. Tong is a witch who is extracting the ghost master's witchcraft power to treat Jialin's leg injury. When Jialin's leg injury recovers, it will be the day when the ghost master's witchcraft power is exhausted and he returns to the forest.
These rumors were only spread in a small area at first, but soon spread among the Wuman people, and they were slowly added to the rumors, becoming more and more evil as they spread.
In the end, Mrs. Tong directly turned into a witch who could suck people's essence and blood. She said that the ghost master was now weak and unconscious, but Jialin's leg injury had not healed yet. When the ghost master couldn't support it, he could return to the forest. , Lady Tong will begin to absorb the lives of other people to heal Jia Lin.
These rumors, which became more and more outrageous as they spread, made everyone in the Wuman tribe panic. Everyone avoided Shen Tianshu, fearing that she would accidentally catch her and suck her into someone.
Haven't you seen that people with such profound witchcraft power as the ghost master can't stand it? They are all ordinary people, and they are probably not strong enough for the witch to take a sip.
At night, people gradually began to become unable to sit still.
Qian Erjie always wandered around the ghost master's room looking for trouble. Every time he opened the door, he would come forward and inquire about the situation inside.
The great elder informed the ghost master of the situation outside, but the ghost master shook his head and said: "Qian Erjie is too stupid, he has no brains. The person behind the scenes is not a fool. He has been planning secretly for so long before. How could it happen suddenly now?" Can't you keep calm and jump out to attract attention?"
After the ghost master finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Ask someone to inquire and see what Qian Erjie has been doing recently and who he is close to. Maybe we can find some clues."
The great elder has been tortured crazy by this incident in the past two days. Except for the ghost master and himself, everyone has doubts and scrutiny in their eyes, and there is always a feeling that everyone around him is unreliable.
He thought about it, and finally felt that his son was more reliable, so he called people over and explained a few words like this.
As the son of the eldest elder, Feng Huan has always been very popular in the clan. After receiving the order from the eldest elder, he went to the Xie family cellar to get a jar of good wine, invited a few people to eat and drink together, and soon figured out the idea. Need clues.
Late at night, he left a few people who were drunk on the floor and quietly went to find the elder and said: "Dad, I have asked everything clearly. Qian Erjie has been very close to Kuncheng's eldest son Cen Zhen recently. The two of them I often sneak out of Xie's house and go to the city to drink, but as for everyone else, they are still the same as before, there is no difference."
The great elder was also more thoughtful this time. After hearing this, he did not jump to a conclusion directly. He hit his son and said: "Okay, I know about this. You go back. Remember, don't tell anyone about this." thing."
Feng Huan had no idea why his father was asking this. He was caught to do something in confusion, and was sent away in confusion.
After the great elder returned, he told the ghost master exactly what his son had learned.
The ghost master asked: "What do you think now?"
The great elder pondered for a moment and said: "This news seems to have come too easily, and the relationship between the two of them has never been hidden from others, maybe it is also a cover-up?
“This time Feng Huan asked for information, so he invited a few people to drink together and got them all drunk, and then he came over to deliver a letter to me.
"If Qian Erjie also used this trick, got Cen Zhen drunk after going out, and then secretly went to meet others, then we would have no way to investigate.
"In this case, the only one left is Jin Zheng?" The great elder felt emotionally unacceptable for a while.
As the great elder, he spent more time with the Ghost Lord than at home. Several of the Ghost Lord's heirs also grew up under his nose, spending more time with him than with his own son.
Kuncheng is mature and prudent but has a dull personality. Qian Erjie has been a naughty bag since he was a child, and he also has a restless and irritable temper when he grows up.
Only Jin Zheng is stuck in the middle in terms of age, has a gentle personality, and never competes with others. He has the weakest sense of presence among several people.
Compared to Jin Zheng, the elder felt that Kun Cheng was more likely.
"Then let's give them a trick to lure the snake out of the hole." The ghost master said a Daqi idiom he learned from Jia Lin, but it was said in Wuman dialect, which seemed a bit nondescript, but the meaning was Still clear and distinct.
The Ghost Master and the Great Elder secretly discussed the plan in the room without telling anyone else.
Jia Lin's leg bone has been reattached, and the leg injury has been progressing in a good direction. It can be said that he has finally overcome the most difficult hurdle. Coupled with the ghost master's "coma" and the rumors outside, there are many The combination of these factors made his room full of people all afternoon.
The three people who were suspected came together.
Qian Erjie had the best relationship with Jia Lin on weekdays. In the past, he even ignored the stench in the house and often came over to accompany Jia Lin.
Logically speaking, given his personality, if he came here today, he would just sit down on the bed and talk and laugh with Jialin.
But after he entered the room, he first looked around the room and found that Mrs. Tong was not in the room, so he followed Kuncheng and Jin Zheng into the room.
After entering the house, he stood at the door farthest from the bed, as if the person sitting on the bed was not his good brother Jia Lin who grew up together, but some terrifying beast.
Kuncheng strode directly to the bed and asked how his leg injury was, but had nothing else to say.
If you observe carefully, you can find that although he walked straight into the house, he was very careful throughout the process and did not touch anything in the house.
Only Jin Zheng entered the room with a gentle face and a smile. Not only did he sit on the edge of the bed, he even stretched out his hand to lift the cloth on his leg, carefully observed Jialin's injured leg, and said repeatedly: "This Tong The lady is indeed very skilled in medicine. Jialin's leg was so serious before that I didn't even dare to look at it. I didn't expect it to be cured so quickly. If it weren't for the bruises, it would look like a good leg. "
His words made Qian Erjie's face become paler and paler, and even Kuncheng's body stiffened unnaturally.
Jialin remained calm on the surface, silently taking in all this.
He really complied with what Qi Fei had taught him, and his heart was as deep as his belly.
He thought that everyone was a brother who had grown up together, and even the bones were broken but the tendons were still connected.
Unexpectedly, now that I look carefully, I realize that no one's acting skills are that good. I only blame myself for being too stupid in the first place!
