Chapter 117 Tree Skeleton

Dazhuang's home is at the end of the village.

Three mud houses.

From a distance, I could hear the old woman sobbing. When I arrived at the gate, I saw that the old woman's eyes were so swollen from crying that she could not even see clearly.

The old village chief sighed:
"Sister Tian, ​​Master Xiaoqi is here to question you. Do you know where Dazhuang went before he disappeared?"

I heard that it was Lord Xiaoqi who came.

Mrs. Tian was a little excited.

He immediately knelt down and said:
"Sir, my Da Zhuang has never had a good day since he followed me. You must find him back. As long as he can come back safely, you can take my life."

Fu Shaoping and others after she calmed down.

Then he asked the question.

We then visited the remaining dozen or so families that had gone missing.

the end.

Take out a pen and paper and summarize the information you recorded.

"what?"

finally.

He found.

The first missing person, Dazhuang, went to Mount Emei and then met the second missing person. The day after Dazhuang disappeared, the second missing person also disappeared. Coincidentally, he also saw the third missing person when he disappeared. The same situation occurred for the remaining dozen missing persons.

Fu Shaoping's eyes lit up slightly.

I immediately called the old village chief over:
"Who was the last person to go missing in your village? Who was seen on the day she disappeared?"

"It was the widow Qiu. She came to our village with a spirit tablet in her hand. Her parents-in-law were afraid that she would not be faithful to her husband, so they never let her go out. The widow Qiu was also very obedient and rarely showed up in the village. Later, when her parents-in-law passed away, she also kept this habit. So, she should not have seen anyone before she disappeared."

"you sure?"

The old village chief shook his head.

Widow Qiu is too young, barely twenty years old.

There were rumors in the village that she had an affair with Zhang Tongsheng, but there was no real evidence, so he naturally couldn't say anything. However, it was Zhang Tongsheng's youngest son who discovered that Widow Qiu was missing.

Fu Shaoping said directly:

"Tell the villagers that anyone who saw Widow Qiu on the day she disappeared could be the next victim. Anyone who wants to survive should go to the ancient temple at the entrance of the village."

"Yes, my lord."

The old village chief gathered the villagers together.

He repeated Fu Shaoping's words again and again, and then the crowd dispersed.

Less than half a cup of tea.

The door of the backyard of the ancient temple was knocked one after another, and the men in the village came in one after another with their faces covered. There were no less than ten of them. After asking, they learned that they had all been to Widow Qiu's house that day, except Zhang Tongsheng, who was rumored to be the only one who did not come.

Fu Shaoping said coldly:

"Besides you, are there other people? Isn't there Zhang Tongsheng?"

The men in the yard looked at each other.

He lowered his head with a guilty conscience:

"It was Widow Qiu who seduced Zhang Tongsheng, and Zhang Tongsheng refused to give in. That's why Widow Qiu asked us to spread rumors about her and Zhang Tongsheng."

After Zhang Tongsheng's wife died, she left behind a hungry boy. Widow Qiu helped raise the boy for a few years. She fell in love with the honest Zhang Tongsheng and wanted to have a relationship with him. However, Zhang Tongsheng was deeply in love with his deceased wife and was unwilling to do so.

Since then.

Widow Qiu seemed to be stimulated.

She kept looking for men in the village, as if she wanted to prove something.

Fu Shaoping frowned:
"After Widow Qiu disappeared, did you notice anything unusual about yourself?"

The ten strong men looked at each other.

A simple-minded man on the left raised his hand and said:
"Sir, I couldn't sleep at night and was very anxious. I wonder if this counts?" It's like playing the lute to a cow.

Fu Shaoping didn't bother to talk to them.

Just ask them to take off their clothes and check each other to see if there are any new marks on their bodies.

The ten people didn't hesitate. After all, their lives were at stake. They quickly took off their clothes. Suddenly, a surprised voice sounded:
"Guishan, is the five-colored bud on your butt a birthmark?"

"what?"

Guishan desperately turned his head to see what was going on. He caught a glimpse of red from the corner of his eye, and his legs softened instantly. There was no birthmark on his butt. It was clearly someone had left a mark on him, but he felt nothing from beginning to end. Guishan looked at Fu Shaoping in panic:
"grown ups."

Fu Shaoping glanced at the five-colored flower bud, and found that the bud seemed to have life and was slowly unfolding. While he was speaking, one petal had bloomed, and there were five petals in total. If he was not mistaken, the bud would bloom completely and Guishan would be taken away.

Fu Shaoping took paper and pen and drew the flower bud.

He came outside and handed it to Lin Tianshi:
"Sir, do you know what this five-colored flower bud is?"

Master Lin glanced at it.

He pondered for a while.

Then he said:
"If I remember correctly, it should be a flower skull."

The Flower Skull is a half-orc.

There is a five-colored flower above its head, and its limbs are intact. Its own combat power is not high, but it has the ability to forge tree skeletons.

By using ancient trees as breeding pools and raising fresh human skeletons, tree cocoons will form on the trees. Then, when watered with human blood, tree skeletons will hatch. As soon as the tree skeletons are born, they have the strength of a late-stage first-order monster.

When the imperial court was clearing out the Flower Skulls.

Apparently some of the fish that were caught in the net ran away and hid in the mountains.

Finished.

Master Lin Tianshi looked less indifferent when he looked at Fu Shaoping.

after all.

This clue.

Several waves of people from Qiuye Town's Baihu Police Station failed to find out:
"Since the Tree Skull has already planted the mark, it will definitely come tonight. You ask Guishan to return home and everything will be as usual. Tonight we will hide near his home and follow the Tree Skull. Then we will naturally find the Flower Skull's lair."

Fu Shaoping is quick to accept good advice.

But Guishan was so frightened that his legs went weak and he couldn't even stand up, so he had to be carried back home.

Master Lin glanced around the yard, and finally chose the tall catalpa tree in front of the house and jumped up.

Fu Shaoping frowned.

The crown of the catalpa tree overlooks everything in the courtyard, but in this month, the leaves on the catalpa tree have all fallen off, and people can't hide in the crown at all. Lin Tianshi glanced at Fu Shaoping: "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you come up?"

Fu Shaoping touched the ground with his toes.

A few jumps.

Come to the tree canopy.

I was just preparing to persuade the other party to change the place.

But Master Lin waved his sleeves, and a piece of light pink gauze floated up and covered them. A red light flashed on the gauze, and then the two of them disappeared along with the gauze.

"There are so many treasures in this Tianshi Temple."

Fu Shaoping was envious.

The two of them were almost sticking together and could even hear each other's heartbeats. Fu Shaoping felt somewhat embarrassed and quickly turned his attention to the small courtyard below.

At night.

As the last petal of the colorless bud of Guishan's buttocks blooms.

But then I heard a faint "da da da" sound.

Look around.

Only then did Fu Shaoping notice that at the corner of the courtyard below, a line of dead wood was strung together. He climbed over the wall and entered through the window into the room where Guishan was sleeping.
