Chapter 156 The Murderer
At night, neither Ping nor Chen Jia came back, and Fu Wei needed to continue to be responsible for the guards and would not come back all night.
After throwing down a whole deer that he had caught from somewhere, Zhazha found a tree and went to eat and rest.
Shao Xuan was the only one in the room.
Shao Xuan cannot walk everywhere. The Tsui tribe is in a tense period now. As an outsider, Shao Xuan will not run around to attract suspicion. When he is just a newcomer, it is better to give him a favorable impression. If one day, the people from the Yanjiao tribe can come smoothly from the river, he will inevitably say hello to the people from the Tsui tribe.
Shao Xuan raised his legs and pillowed his arms, resting on the wooden boards in the room. As Shao Xuan's legs swayed, the wooden boards laid below would make a slight creaking sound.
Just as he was thinking about something, Shao Xuan heard a few "whistle" and "whistle" sounds coming from outside, as if someone pinched his nose and made such a sound. It was not humans, but those little crocodiles. The sound was the pond where Chen Jia's family was located, but it was not just a place near the house.
After a few short sounds, the screams came to an abrupt end, but soon, another scream came out. However, the sounds afterwards were different from those in front. The sounds made behind were the little crocodile with dark brown eyes considered to be mute.
The little crocodiles in Zhou Dianwei do not often call, and they will only scream when they encounter threats and feel danger. For example, the three little crocodiles that were funny that day were all called out at that time.
People from the tribe said that these little crocodiles have a very keen sense of likes and dislikes. Even if you smile and look very kind, if you are ill-behaved, these little crocodiles will still avoid them or bite you directly.
At this time, what exactly did the three little crocodiles in the pool encounter? That made such a cry?
The sound outside continued. Shao Xuan turned over and got up, looked outside, and saw nothing unusual, but the screams continued somewhere in the pool.
Its call is probably inaudible to other people in the tribe. If other little crocodiles kept calling like this, someone would have come to see the situation long ago.
After thinking about it, Shao Xuan walked out of the house and headed towards the place where the screams came out.
Next to the pool, a little far from Chen Jia's house, two small crocodiles were lying in the grass, motionless.
There is a bloody smell.
Shao Xuan squatted and plucked it with his hands. The two small crocodiles lying there were turned over, and obvious blood marks appeared on their light-colored abdomen, which were almost split in half. They were fatal by a sharp tool.
The sound at the beginning should have been made by these two. After a few yells, they suddenly stopped. That is, they were bad at that time.
The two little crocodiles died the same way, one blow was fatal, very fast, and there was almost no sound.
Just as he was holding one of the small crocodiles and flipping open it, Shao Xuan heard a rushing footstep, and then he was angry.
"What did you do to them?!"
The one who came here was a girl of fifteen or sixteen with brown eyes.
Thinking of the impatient and violent temper of this type of person, Shao Xuan was about to explain, but after seeing the crocodile with its belly on the ground, it broke out.
"You're looking for death!"
The other party was as crazy as he was, and he didn't give Shao Xuan any chance to explain. Even if Shao Xuan spoke, she wouldn't listen. The totem patterns on her body were revealed. The force on her legs was exerted, and the speed increased instantly, and the whole person rushed towards Shao Xuan in the air.
When he was rushing, the whole palm doubled, and the open hand turned into claws. Combined with the totem patterns on the hand, it was like a layer of scales, and a crisp sound of joints broke out at the fingertips, like a violent ferocious beast, ruthlessly catching Shao Xuan.
If you don't dodge, this slender hand will hold Shao Xuan's arm, then twist it like a crocodile bites food, and even pull the arm down.
Faced with such a vicious attack, Shao Xuan snatched his hand before the other party grabbed his arm and reached out to grab her wrist, but did not stop, but pulled a hand towards the pool.
Poof!
The other party was thrown into the pool.
Others around had heard the movement. In such a tense situation, they were yelling and falling into the water. It would be strange if they could not pay attention.
Several families around, whether men or women, ran out with tools and surrounded Shao Xuan. The child was not allowed to come out, but just looked here at the window or door of his house.
On the grass beside the pool, the two dead crocodiles were very conspicuous. The people from the tribe were very concerned about crocodiles, so the two next to them were easier to attract their attention.
I originally thought it was just a quarrel between the two sides, but after seeing the two dead little crocodiles, the people around me were furious.
Several families around him were always on guard against Shao Xuan, who fell outside, and did not let their children contact Shao Xuan. Several times their children were curious about the eagle and wanted to go over and take a look, but they were intimidated by adults. In addition, the scene in front of them now, let alone this scene.
"I didn't kill them." Shao Xuan said.
"Who else isn't you?"
"It must be him! Banling saw it just now!"
The people around him were shouting, looking at Shao Xuan with a fierce look, but heard a shout from behind: "Stop!"
Hearing this sound, the person who was about to attack stopped his hand and looked back.
There were two people who came here, one of Shao Xuan knew, the wife of the leader Qianmei. She was the one who called out a word to stop just now, and Shao Xuan didn't know the young man standing next to her. However, the young man belonged to the type with dark brown eyes, which gave people a calmer feeling. It seemed that at first glance, it seemed more harmless than others, but Shao Xuan instinctively felt that this person was more difficult to deal with.
"What happened?" Chun walked over and asked.
"He killed two little fish!"
"Yes, I've also taken action against Banling!"
"I just said that people who fall outside are not bad at heart! They should have let him get out!"
The people around him said the matter out loud. After hearing this, Chun did not ask Shao Xuan immediately, but walked over and picked up the two dead little crocodiles.
Shao Xuan could feel that when Chun was holding two small crocodiles, her hands were still trembling, and she was trying hard to control her emotions. She also had brown eyes, but she was not as reckless as others.
After seeing the wound on the little crocodile, Chun asked Shao Xuan: "What do you say?"
"It wasn't me who killed me. I just came over. I saw something wrong with them. I flipped it up and found that they were dead. When I picked it up and looked at it, she came over." Shao Xuan pointed to the person who was walking out of the pool and said.
"Banling, did you really see him killing Xiaobaoyu?" Chun stared at the person walking out of the pool and asked in a deep voice.
Banling was thrown into the water just now, and she is still a little embarrassed. When asked, she didn't care about tidying up her hair that covered her eyes, and stammered, then said, "...I saw him holding a little fish in his hand."
"In other words, you didn't see Shao Xuan killing Xiao Baoyu!?"
Chun's tone was not very good, and everyone around could hear it. Moreover, after Chun took the two crocodiles, many people around him also saw the wounds on the crocodile. It was killed by a sharp weapon. Shao Xuan did not carry such a sharp weapon. Maybe he was really wronged.
Thinking of the behavior of his people just now, the people surrounding Shao Xuan retreated awkwardly. The people who shouted and scolded were extremely loudly now wanted to bury their heads in their crotch to reduce their presence.
But some people were dissatisfied and thought that it was too arbitrary to judge that Shao Xuan was not the murderer based on just one wound. Perhaps Shao Xuan was hiding something? As he thought about it, he raised his neck and took a step forward and was about to say something, but he saw Shao Xuan standing there turning toward the pool.
The people from the tribe around were very curious about Shao Xuan’s reaction. What was he going to do?
Shao Xuan walked to the edge of the pool and did not go into the water, but reached out to the side.
Soon, the water rippled and a small figure came out from there. It turned out that there was a small hole there, which was hidden inside just now.
After swimming out, the little crocodile climbed directly onto Shao Xuan's hand. It was actually screaming, but no one could hear it, including Chun, a high-level totem warrior in the tribe.
Seeing the little crocodile in Shao Xuan's hand, the man who had just stepped out and was planning to argue, retracted his legs again.
If Shao Xuan was the murderer, this little crocodile would not behave like this. The people in the tribe did not believe in Shao Xuan, but they believed in the tribe's "treasure fish".
"Banling!" Chun glared at him.
When Chun thought of what Banling did, he was furious. The tribe's reputation was bad enough, and these people offended people over and over again. Yesterday, Chen Jia attacked his savior, but now Banling attacked people before he found out the facts.
The Wu and the leader were trying hard to save the bad reputation of the Yi tribe. People who knew the Yi tribe had already had a dike for the Yi tribe, and it was difficult to get along well. Finally, an outsider who had never heard of the Yi tribe had come out. The Wu and the leader wanted to keep people here and let Shao Xuan see the good side of the Yi tribe, and let him know that in fact, the people in the Yi tribe were not as bad as outsiders thought. What was the result?!
She was so angry!
Fortunately, Shao Xuan is good at strength, otherwise...
Banling, who had attacked Shao Xuan before, was completely depressed. Her shoulders trembled because of Chun's roar, moved over with small steps, completely without the momentum she had before.
"Yes, yes... sorry!" Banling apologized to Shao Xuan, and the voice sounded like she was about to cry.
"Shao Xuan, right? Sorry, you just said something you've eaten by a treasure fish, don't take it seriously." The person who spoke was the one who was shouting the loudest, probably felt sorry for it. He turned around and ran home. After a while, he carried a bloody ox leg and stuffed it into Shao Xuan's hand as a pity.
Seeing this, others wanted to follow suit.
At this time, the person standing next to Chun said, "My grandma, the most important thing now is to find the person who killed the treasure fish." As he said that, he looked at the others, and his dark brown eyes swept around calmly, "Shao Xuan is a guest of the tribe. If anyone is going to do something without asking about it in the future, come to me by himself."
Shao Xuan discovered that after the young man finished speaking, the people around him shrank, even more afraid than when he was scolded by Chun. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
