Chapter 262 The Case of the Snake Fairy in the Black Market of Jiangnan 17
"There! See where you are running?!"

"Front and back attack! Er Gouzi, take them around!"

Yan Mo looked up and saw a few figures rushing into the woods, she hurriedly dragged His Highness Jiu to hide in the grass!

"The rivers and lakes are reckless! They are fighting with snipe and clam, and we just took the opportunity to escape quickly!!" Qi Ying urged in a low voice, while looking behind him frequently, seeing that the other party was not moving, he was about to flee!
"Wait!" Yan Mo stopped him, listening attentively
"Bring the gunpowder!" Er Gouzi led the villagers to a high rock and lit a gunpowder bomb, "Huh! The gunpowder is coated with realgar! Tell you to eat people! Let you have a good taste!!" After speaking, he struggled With one throw, throw the gunpowder on the white python! ! !
"Revenge for Laoguan and Xiaoman!!" The villagers shouted indignantly!

Because the white python is too big, even if it swims fast, it is not easy to avoid the explosive range of the gunpowder!It snaked back and forth, winding around a thick tree and winding up the tree! ! !

The gunpowder bomb flew through the air, fell to the ground and rolled for a while before igniting and exploding! !A burst of smoke and dust dispersed! !Tree debris scattered everywhere, dry grass crackling and burning! !Along with that, there is a smell of garlic! ! !

"Not good!" Yan Mo hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, and took advantage of the opportunity to cover Qi Lin's mouth and nose as well!

"Why not happy?" Qi Lin said nervously and vaguely!

"Hold your breath!" Seeing that the other party covered his mouth and nose, Yan Mo pulled His Highness Jiu to escape, "It smells like arsenic!"

"Run away - run away -" the macaw spread its wings and flew early, leading the way in front of the two of them!
"Where did you get the Pi Shuang?"

"It's realgar gunpowder!" Yan Mo followed the parrot, away from the explosion smoke, hid behind a big rock, and looked around, "The heat brought by the gunpowder explosion is enough to cause the realgar to undergo a qualitative change and become arsenic!"

At this moment, Da Zhuang didn't know the danger of realgar gunpowder, so he led the rest of the villagers to disperse into the woods!Prepare to pinch the white python! !

"Damn basilisk! Come back!!" The villagers shouted, picked up the thing and threw it at the white python! !
Nails—an iron fork penetrates three points into a wood!Make a vibrating sound! !
The white python narrowly retracted its tail and stretched into the air! ! !

Seeing this, Da Zhuang kicked his feet with the help of a stone!Spread your limbs, and send the iron fork in your hand into the air! !

There is a sound of nailing!The iron fork hit the hard scales under the snake's belly, and bounced back to the ground! !
"Get out of the way! Gunpowder is coming—" Er Gouzi waved his arms, letting everyone disperse while preparing new gunpowder!
Boom!After the white python landed heavily, it fled extremely fast!Go straight to the river! !Two gunpowder bombs exploded behind him, making a bang! !Pale yellow and white powder dispersed! ! !

"Blow up its snake head! Don't blow up its body!!" Da Zhuang warned from afar!

"These villagers are dying!" Qi Ling retracted his gaze, and while cursing, he turned back to Yanmo, "Run away, run away! This island must have clashed with Xiao Wang! Nothing good happened after going to the island!!"

Yan Mo grabbed the other party's collar, so that Qi Ying could only switch feet! !She had no choice but to be thankful that the area where the gunpowder exploded was at a certain distance from the villagers, which prevented them from being harmed.

"Don't you think it's strange? These villagers said they want to avenge whom."

"The basilisk eats people and attracts hate! Nothing strange!" Qi Ying said impatiently, "I said the world is reckless! Why do you care so much about that basilisk?!"

"Last night, since we saw the white python, it has never opened its mouth! When we arrived at the thatched cottage, it spit out the eggs in its mouth." Yan Mo said seriously, "Since then, no one has approached the thatched cottage. When did you eat it?"

"Do you want to say that this monster was wronged?!" Qi Ying still said impatiently, "This white python must have also committed a crime against Xiao Wang! Whether it is wronged or not! It is important for us to escape!!"

"I'm really afraid, you should run away first!" After Yan Mo's voice fell, he flew forward!Condensed a reddish sword energy and quickly slashed! !Split the successive gunpowder bombs coming from the sky into two! ! !
The white python took the opportunity and swam into the river!There were layers of water splashes, and there was a burst of noise! !

Seeing that someone was in the way, the villagers let the white python go, shouting: "Who is it?! Come out quickly!!" They gathered in a group of eight or nine!

Yan Mo withdrew the sword energy, stretched his waist and landed firmly, and said with arrogance: "The realgar gunpowder is dangerous! I advise you not to use it indiscriminately!!"

"Which family are you from?" The villagers asked while identifying, and looked at each other from time to time to ask their companions.
Seeing that the rivers and lakes are reckless and arbitrary, Qi Ying still did not run for his life in desperation, but pulled down the macaw and hugged him in his arms, and continued to hide behind the big rock, watching quietly.
"Why did you hunt down the white python?" Yan Mo asked back without answering, standing in the posture of a knight!
"That monster ate Lao Guan and Xiao Man! We want revenge!! It's good for you! You still protect it and let it run away!!" The villagers were filled with righteous indignation and accused them!

"How do you know that Laoguan and Xiaoman are eaten by white pythons?" Yan Mo continued to ask.

"Da Zhuang saw it with his own eyes, so it can be fake! Besides, Da Zhuang also brought back the robes of Lao Guan and Xiao Man, all of which are covered in blood!!"

Yan Mo looked at his commoner clothes, remembered the robes collected by the white-haired man, and continued to ask, "Are the two robes intact?"

"Are you from outside?" Seeing that everyone didn't know each other, Da Zhuang stood in front of everyone and said hostilely, "You're an outsider, don't meddle in your own business!"

Yan Mo noticed that Da Zhuang didn't have an obvious Mingzhou accent, which was different from the others: "Last night, when you were chasing the white python, I was there." Seeing a group of villagers looking at each other, she continued, " You chased the white python all the way from the village to the water cave, and were driven out of the cave by the group of white snakes, right?"

Da Zhuang felt that the other party might have skills, and before everyone could reply, he shouted vigilantly: "This island does not welcome outsiders, you can go back where you came from! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!!"

Yan Mo raised his eyebrows, and with an expression of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, he continued: "I also want to catch that white python. I followed it all the way outside the village last night. Seeing that you wanted to catch me, I wanted to give up. You couldn't subdue it, so I followed quietly. The white python entered the village and stole a lot of your eggs, and then it swam through the Snake Fairy Cave, and then entered the water cave. I followed all the way, and I never saw the white python open its mouth.

After the few of you chased to the water cave, you were chased away by the group of white snakes. At that time, some of you came and some of you left.Afterwards, I went into the water and followed the white python all the way until here, only then did I see it spit out the eggs one by one from its mouth.May I ask, how did the white python eat Laoguan and Xiaoman during this process? "

"Brother Zhuang! Is what she said true?!" A villager understood the key point and asked!
"You don't trust your own people, do you still trust an outsider?!" Er Gouzi hurriedly grabbed the villager and took the lead, "Kill the basilisk quickly before it escapes!!"

"." When Yan Mo exerted coercion and made Er Gouzi stupefied, he asked the other villagers, "Are the clothes of Lao Guan and Xiao Man intact?"

"...somewhat broken, torn."

"Oh! There's a big cut in Lao Guan's sleeve!"

"Xiao Man's collar has the thickest blood, especially the back."

The villagers recalled and replied one after another.

"Lao Guan and Xiao Man were eaten by giant pythons!" Da Zhuang pushed away the crowd, ripped open his skirt and said, "I was bitten too!"

"Me too!" Er Gouzi also took off his coat when he saw it, showing his arms as a gesture, and lifted up his trouser legs to show the scars on his legs!
"These villagers!" Seeing this, Qi Ling wished he could transform into a big piece of silk cloth and hide it from the grass and grass in the rivers and lakes!
Yan Mo stared at the two people who were undressing with bright eyes!She found that Da Zhuang and Er Gouzi had many wounded bruises and some pairs of small tooth marks, which should be bitten out by the little white snake while winding. In addition, she also found that Da Zhuang's On the outside of the right wrist, there are deep five-finger prints, presenting a grip. Er Gouzi also has similar five-finger prints on his right hand.
Da Zhuang's palm is large, thick and powerful, which matches the imprint on Er Gouzi's wrist. Yan Mo guessed that the two left such a deep imprint on each other when they held each other. It must be of great strength, such as tug-of-war, such as hanging people in the air, etc.
At the same time, she also found a scratch on Da Zhuang's right arm, from shallow to deep, and stopped abruptly, with fine scratches around. Er Gouzi's leg also had fine scratches, most of which were shallow at both ends and deep in the middle. , There are bruises on the knees, as if caused by slipping.And on his ankle, there is a relatively dense entanglement mark, which looks like five fingerprints, which can't be distinguished clearly.

Yan Mo reconstructed it in his mind, it should be: Er Gouzi fell from a height, his knee hit a hard object, and at the same time, a stone scratched his leg, leaving scratches. Seeing this, Da Zhuang stretched out his hand to save him, rubbed his arm Touching the ground, there was a stone rolling and embedded in the flesh because the person pulled it, so the stone stopped suddenly, leaving the scar on the arm and the deep imprint on the wrist
"Apart from bruises, bruises, and small bite marks on both of you, there are no major bite wounds."

"These little white snakes never bite!" Da Zhuang retracted his shoulders, folded up his clothes, and said in a rough voice, "If it wasn't for the giant python's instigation, how could they bite?! Er Gouzi and I escaped quickly! It didn't fall into the mouth of the giant python!!"

"That's right! That's it!" Er Gouzi agreed!
Yan Mo: "If the giant python ate people, the clothes would have been torn into pieces, how could you pack them up and take them back?"

"Folks! Don't listen to this witch's nonsense!" Seeing that everyone was suspicious, Er Gouzi immediately explained, "Lao Guan, Xiao Man, I, and Brother Da Zhuang went into the water together, and after being driven ashore by the little white snake, we They all took off their robes and twisted the water stains! The white python bit them and ran away! That's how we brought back our robes!!"

Yan Mo smiled and thought to himself, this is the first time he has been scolded as a witch: "As you said, Xiao Man and Lao Guan were eaten after taking off their clothes. How could Xiao Man's robe leave blood stains on the collar? Xiaoman was obviously killed while wearing a robe! Moreover, as I said just now, you two escaped quickly so that you were not swallowed by the white python. When you saw the white python eating people, you still had the guts and skill to pick up the old man. Guan and Xiaoman's robes? There are strangeness and contradictions everywhere in your rhetoric!"

"This girl is right." The villagers looked at each other, and became more and more suspicious of Da Zhuang and Er Gouzi. "What's going on? You two should explain it clearly!"

Da Zhuang and Er Gouzi: "."

Yan Mo thought about it. There was not even a dead body in this case, so she could only speculate. She continued to ask, "Does anyone remember what the blood on Xiaoman's collar looked like?"

"Appearance? What does it look like? Well... there is a lot of blood!"

"Ah! The blood is flowing down, one by one," the villager described, pointing to the back of his neck.
Yan Mo: "It's not the bloodstains left by the spray, which means that Xiaoman's head was not eaten! The bloodstains are concentrated on the back of his neck, which means that his head was injured. If he didn't fall himself, someone might have injured him. If he I fell to my death, so I don’t think there is any need for Da Zhuang to lie that Xiao Man was taken away and eaten by the white python. Besides, I can testify that after the white python stole the eggs, before it came out of this cave, it was from the beginning. In the end, I never spoke."

"Da Zhuang. Is what this girl said true?!" After thinking about it, the villagers felt more and more that Yan Mo's words were justified, and asked Da Zhuang and Er Gouzi for an explanation!

"Then Laoguan and Xiaoman are dead or alive?! You talk, Er Gouzi!"

Seeing that Da Zhuang and Er Gouzi were silent, Yan Mo continued: "Last night, I followed you all the time. I saw that Da Zhuang was very obsessed with catching the white python and selling it for skinning. Just now you ordered Er Gouzi You can’t bomb the body of the white python, you want to blow its head, not only to kill it with one blow, but also to have a complete snake skin? Such a huge snake skin should be worth a lot of money! You didn’t succeed yesterday, but today you Bringing people to encircle and suppress people, in the name of avenging people, is really famous."

"Da Zhuang! Is what she said true? What happened to Lao Guan?!"

"Xiao Man...he's still so young, you...you have the heart to attack him?!"

"Don't listen to her nonsense!" Da Zhuang argued, "She said that the giant python never opened its mouth, so you believe it? Lao Guan and Xiao Man were eaten by basilisks!"

Seeing the other party's unwillingness to give up, Yan Mo continued to ask: "I saw the scars on you and Er Gouzi, so I guess you saved Er Gouzi last night."

Hearing this, Da Zhuang and Er Gouzi both showed uncontrollable panic and anxiety.
"Er Gouzi, what's going on?"

When the villagers heard this, they asked questions one after another!

"So far, you still haven't told the truth?!"

During this time, Yan Mo noticed that there were three villagers standing in the same place, silent, just peeking at Da Zhuang and Er Gouzi from time to time. It seems that he is a little guilty, and he thinks that Da Zhuang and Er Gouzi must have promised him something.

"If you want to know the truth, you might as well ask them."

When the other villagers heard this, they turned their heads in unison following Yan Mo's eyes, and the three of them shrank immediately when they saw the battle!
"Old Liu! Tell me! What happened last night?!"

Seeing that the three of them were still silent and looked at Da Zhuang frequently, Yan Mo said with admiration: "I can stop talking! The white python is my prey! I want to snatch it!!" Then, she stared at Da Zhuang. The former member of the snake catching team said, "It's no good to take it, so you still want to take care of it for those two people? Are you afraid that they will kill people to silence them?!"

Hearing this, the three people became even more rigid!Seeing Da Zhuang's ferocious appearance, the three of them retreated in unison.
"The girl is right! Old Liu! You are talking!! What happened to Lao Guan and Xiao Man?!"

Da Zhuang couldn't see his whereabouts revealed, he picked up the guy and was about to attack those three people! ! !
Yan Mo has quick eyes and quick hands!With one strike, the sword energy is thrown! ! !
"Ah!" Da Zhuang yelled as he fell to the ground clutching his arms!

Yan Mo threw out a sword energy again!The iron wood guy in the opponent's hand was blown away! !
"Brother Zhuang!" Even if Er Gouzi wanted to save him, he didn't dare to step forward!

Seeing this, the three old Liu couldn't bear it any longer, and while the others subdued Da Zhuang, they opened their mouths one after another.
".Yes, it was Da Zhuang who did it!"
