Chapter 930.
Although Leaning Mountain Village was not too far away from Linjiang County, this village was hidden inside a big mountain, with only a rugged and narrow path leading to the outside world.
In addition, most of the people in the village were surnamed Zhang, and few outsiders came to the village, except for the cargo men who traveled all over the world.
Coupled with the characteristics of the “devil”, Wang dust preferred to deduce that the blood-sucking fang that created the tragedy is hidden among the villagers.
That’s why he needed to check them one by one.
But leaning on the mountain village several hundred people, want to gather all at once obviously unrealistic.
The village has both hunters and people who collect mountain goods, it is normal that they are far away and cannot hear the summoning bell.
Wang Chen understood the situation and decided to wait in the village.
“My lord, then you can sit at the little people’s home first.”
The old village chief said attentively, “Let Little Folk’s mother-in-law make you a pot of cloud tea.”
The wild tea that grew on the cloudy mountain peaks was collectively known as Cloud Mist Tea, and because of the very low production coupled with the fact that it wasn’t easy to pick, it was considered to be a superior mountain product, and its value was quite high.
In order to curry favor with Wang Duan, the Blood Clothes Guards’ Little Flag, the old village chief had also put in a lot of blood.
“No need to bother.”
However, Wang Dust waved his hand, “I’ll go around the village.”
After a pause, he added, “Let the villagers disperse, you have someone keep an eye on this place, anyone who comes back should wait at your home first, I’ll go over later.”
The old village chief of course had no objections and immediately arranged for the villagers to stand guard at the village entrance.
Wang Chen wandered around the leaning village on his own.
This small mountain village was backed by a large mountain, surrounded by peaks and green trees, the environment was still quite good.
One by one, the earth houses and wooden houses were scattered on the hillside, connected to each other by paths made of stones.
Wang Chen turned around and realized that the aura here was obviously more than inside the county town.
If the concentration of aura in the Haotian Realm was 10,000, then Linjiang City was merely 1, while Leaning Mountain Village could reach 3-5.
Although it was the same pitifully small number, to Wang Chen, it was somewhat interesting.
You have to know that this world has a Taoist heritage, although it is not the same system as the Immortal World, it also has many of the same similarities.
For example, Wang Chuan put in the bosom of the identification of magic talisman, he had seriously analyzed a number of insights.
If the environment is a little more abundant aura, Wang Chuan may be able to come to a dual cultivation of law and martial arts!
Wushu is the main focus, and Fa is the supplement, the same is the path of the strong.
When he arrived at the best house in the village, the old village chief’s house, several villagers had already returned.
Wang Dust did his usual inspection and found nothing.
But there were still ten people who had not returned.
“My lord, it’s already noon.”
The old village chief said respectfully, “My wife has boiled a can of chicken soup and some mountain goods, so you can make do with what you have for lunch.”
Wang Dust came suddenly, he had no preparation on his side, so he could only let his wife kill an old hen that laid eggs, and took out the mountain mushrooms, bamboo fungus, yellow chestnuts, and other mountain goods that he usually saved, and put together a fairly sumptuous lunch.
Of course, “sumptuous” was only for Guanshan Village, and the old village chief was very worried about slowing down such an honored guest as Wang Duan.
“Trouble.”
Of course, Wang Chuan could see the fear in the old village chief’s heart and smiled, “Just enough to fill my stomach.”
This meal was definitely to be eaten, not eating it would really scare people to death.
Although he had not come to this side of the world for a long time, Wang Dust had long since integrated himself into his own identity, and was well aware of what kind of intimidating power a figure whose power was no weaker than the magistrate had over these commoners!
And a table of eight pots and a soup of meals, obviously let the old village head of the family to do their best, cooking skills are not good, but better than the ingredients are good, especially a pot of adding a lot of mountain products of the old hen, the flavor is really fragrant.
The old village chief even asked his son to go to the mountains to fetch bamboo wine for him to drink.
There are a lot of bamboos planted around the village, and the rich villagers will brew their own rice wine into the open stalks, and then seal them to let them ferment slowly, and the final bamboo wine has a different flavor.
Wang Chen drank two tubes, into the throat soft and sweet, with the unique fragrance of bamboo.
He felt that the flavor was really good, so he touched out an ingot of official silver and threw it on the table, “How much more bamboo wine do you have, I’ll take it all.”
“Dare not dare not.”
The old village chief panicked, “If your honor likes it, the little people are willing to offer it all.”
Since the establishment of Leaning Mountain Village, Wang Duan was definitely the number one big shot who came to this village, he didn’t extort like other officials, the old village chief was already thankful, where else would he dare to ask for Wang Duan’s silver!
Wang Dust frowned and sank his face, “Are you treating me as a corrupt official?”
The old village chief directly knelt down.
Although he was so scared that he almost had a heart attack, he at least knew that Wang Dust really didn’t want to take advantage of him, so he let his family members go to the village to acquire bamboo wine.
Wang Dust then chatted with the old village chief at his home.
Realizing that Wang Chuan was really different from other officials, the old mayor gradually let go of his heart and opened his mouth little by little.
Unlike most of the villagers who had been in the village for generations, he had the strength of a samurai when he was young, and had traveled for many years, visiting many cities and towns.
Later on, he was seriously injured due to an encounter with thieves and bandits, and was forced to return to live in the village of Leaning Mountain.
Therefore, this old village chief’s experience was quite rich, and when he realized that Zhang Xiaoqi’s family had been robbed yesterday, he immediately sent someone to the county town to report for help.
Wang Chen asked, “Have you recently found anyone in the village who is not right?”
The old village chief thought about it and shook his head with a bitter smile, “No, there really isn’t.”
If there was anyone wrong, then he would have told Wang Chuan from the beginning, and would never dare to hide it until now.
Involving “demons” was no small matter, and the old village chief was most worried that if Wang Duan could not find any clues and returned to the county town, and the blood-sucking fangs came out to commit crimes again, then the hearts of the people in Leaning Mountain Village would collapse.
As a matter of fact, many villagers are already in a state of panic.
During the conversation between Wang Chuan and the old village chief, many villagers came back one after another.
But the result was no different, Wang Chuan’s Demon Discriminating Talisman never moved.
By the time dusk approached, fourteen of the fifteen people who had been missing earlier had come back to be examined.
The last one was slow to show up!
The old village chief began to fidget and instructed his son to bring someone to look for him.
Wang Duan asked, “Who is this last one who didn’t show up?”
The old village chief hesitated for a moment and replied, “It’s Zhang Shitou who lives on the mountain, he’s a hunter and often goes out to hunt.”
“Aaah!”
He obviously remembered something, slammed his thigh: “Three months ago, Zhang Shitou had a conflict with Zhang Xiaoqi’s family, will ……”
The old village chief didn’t dare to think deeply, while Wang Duan got up with a huff, “Go, take me to this Zhang Shitou’s house to take a look!”
Intuition told him that this hunter Zhang Shitou had a great connection with Zhang Xiaoqi’s family extermination tragedy!
