Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 70: Can’t hold my breath
Zhuang Ding took these guests to a cross-yard with a barn and said, "This yard is for you to live in tonight, but we are a farm, not an inn. We don't have any bedding ready, you will have it at night. Well. There's still hay in the barn, so you can spread it out a little to keep it cool."
"This is fine, this is fine..." The strong man who took the lead took out a dozen copper coins and stuffed it into Zhuang Ding's arms. With a smile, he said, "Don't think too little, go back and buy a pair of shoes for your child."
Zhuang Ding is also a farmer in Zhuangzi, and this large amount of copper is also a small fortune for him. At the moment, Zhuang Ding accepted the copper with a smile, and then told them to be careful of the candle, and then left with satisfaction.
The merchants were divided into two waves, and five of them lived in the houses to the east. After the rest of the people settled the carriage, they moved into the house on the west side. Not long after, there was a burst of snoring from the two rooms one after another.
Meanwhile, in a room in the middle of Zhuangzi's residence. The housekeeper is reporting to the village owner that he has just taken in the merchants' accommodation. The village owner is an old man in his fifties. After listening to the butler's report, he nodded and said, "If you stay, you will stay. It's not easy to earn hard money. You can tell the kitchen and bring them a breakfast tomorrow morning. You can't let outsiders say that we are Zhao Li. The people of Zhuang do not know the etiquette."
"Yes, it's still as thoughtful as the villa owner." After the butler echoed, he got up and left.
After the housekeeper left, the villa owner said to the screen behind him: "Did you hear it? If it's suspicious, I'll let someone touch them overnight, deal with them all, and say they're spying for bandits. news spy."
"I can't deal with it" A man in alchemist costume came out of the screen, it was Jiang Hexian whose name was getting higher and higher on the killing order. After he appeared, he said to the owner: "As you said just now, leave breakfast for them tomorrow morning to see how they react. It's best to leave after eating and drinking. If you don't leave, then..."
When talking about this, Jiang Hexian suddenly thought of something. Then he continued to the owner: "Where is the housekeeper's nephew named Zhao Heng? I didn't see him today."
"Zhao Heng is in Zhuangzi. You told him to hide in Zhuangzi recently, and he can't go anywhere." The village owner glanced at Jiang Hexian with a smile, and continued: "You have something to ask. I'll call him over now."
"It's good to be in Zhuangzi" Jiang Hexian took a deep breath, looked at the shadow in the open space outside the window and said to himself: "It's faster than expected..."
At the same time, among the more than a dozen merchants living in the compound, several merchants in the east courtyard house have returned to their original appearance. They were Wu Mian and Gui Bugui with three monsters. The merchant who inquired about the stock during the day was the nephew of the housekeeper, Zhao Heng. Returned to Luoyang City in person, went to the restaurant where Zhao Heng revealed his identity as the young man said, and confirmed from the owner of the restaurant that Zhao Heng was a regular customer in their restaurant, and also proved that Zhao Heng was indeed the nephew of the director of Zhao Lizhuang. .
The only clue now lies in Zhao Heng's body. Wu Mian and Gui Bugui cast their spells to the vicinity of Zhao Lizhuang. It's just that their opponents are too shrewd. If five people go to stay at this time, they can directly confirm that it is Wu Mian, and there is no doubt that they will return. At the moment, the old guy used some tricks in the nearby county, so that a group of merchants who went to Luoyang missed the time of the process. And then 'ran into' a few of them who were also unable to enter the city. It is still recommended to go to a nearby farm to make do with one night.
Bai Wuqiu glanced at Wu Mianhe, who was not moving, and said, "Old guy, now everyone has come in, what should we do next? Is Lao Tzu leading the charge and rushing out to find that boy named Zhao Heng? Or should we divide our troops to find them?"
"Silly boy, you said that you've already come in, so what are you worried about?" Gui Bugui smiled and continued: "It shouldn't be us who are anxious now, just wait and see who sinks first. Hold your breath. I don't believe the old people may wait until dawn. That person is not sure how much we know, so we have to try it out..."
"The immortal, what if they didn't think about it at all? They killed the man named Zhao Heng directly, and then wiped all the evidence. Then what should we do?" At this time, Xiao Ren San also spoke. said a word.
"Then unless he burns the entire Zhuangzi, or he will leave evidence to the old man." Gui Bugui lay on the haystack, glanced at Wu Mian, and continued: "The most At the third watch in the evening, they will definitely have more moves before midnight. They will try it out..."
As Gui Bugui thought, although he told the owner not to move anything, Jiang Hexian couldn't help himself. The mysterious young man was not at the farm at this time, and he could not find anyone to discuss. When he thought that Wu Mian and Gui Bugui lived in the same farm as him, Jiang Hexian became more and more uneasy. Looking at everything, it seems that Wu Mian and Gui Bugui have already shot at him.
Seeing that it was almost three watch, Jiang Hexian couldn't stand it anymore. He used a spell to hide his figure, and then came to the outside of the hospital alone.
Standed outside the yard and listened for a while, except for the snoring, I couldn't hear any other sounds. Jiang Hexian did not dare to go to the main entrance, he used the method of passing through the wall and entered the courtyard. Just when he was hesitating whether he should make some noise, an arm behind him suddenly covered Jiang Hexian's mouth, and then gently dragged him out of the yard.
At this time, Jiang Hexian had already discovered that the person covering his mouth was the young man who had just returned to the farm. At this time, in order to avoid being discovered by Wu Mian and Gui Bugui, he has once again turned into a housekeeper. The young man said nothing, dragged Jiang Hexian to an empty farmhouse nearby, and then let go of his hand and calmly said to Jiang Hexian, "Why don't you wait until I come back? You know that you don't have to do anything, they check everything. If you can't come out, why are you still so restless?"
Seeing the young man coming back, the big stone in Jiang Hexian's heart fell to the ground. Originally, he was also a quick-witted person, but when he thought of Wu Mian and Guibugui, he was not far from him. There was a big stone hanging in his heart all the time. What if they didn't leave tomorrow morning and just made an excuse to stay? What if they suddenly attacked tonight and killed themselves? At this time, the young man was repairing the formation, and he lost contact with himself. Once he left, when he came out of the formation, he fell into the hands of Wu Mian and Gui Bugui. At the moment, Jiang Hexian didn't dare to think about it any more...
Instead of being passive like this, it's better to take the initiative to scare the snakes and lead them out of the village. Unexpectedly, at this time, the young man actually noticed the danger and walked out of the formation.
"They put a lot of pressure on me..." Jiang Hexian sighed and continued: "I was caught by them before, and when I remembered that these people have already entered the village, my heart has been uneasy. Comfortable."
"The flaw should be in Zhao Heng's body. He contacted the location where the herbs were transported and stored." The young man ignored Jiang Hexian's explanation and pointed directly to the problem. After a pause, he continued: "But I didn't expect them to find out so quickly. The original plan was to find it in three days. But now it seems that we have to leave here early."
"Let's go now, the formation that you repaired before will be for nothing." Jiang He frowned first, and then continued: "We can lead them out, and then set fire to burn up here. Wait until they think we are hiding there. In other places, come back and continue to repair the formation."
"You underestimate them too much. I can repair the formation from the beginning. But if there is a mistake, there will be nothing..." The young man glanced at Jiang Hexian and continued: " Let's go and give this place to them."
