This is what a fairy should be like

By the waterside, everyone decided how to ambush, and then each walked to the designated location.

However, perhaps because they knew they really had to spend the night outside, Lu Jing saw that many people in the crowd were a little absent-minded, and even the yamen runners in the yamen frequently looked towards Wuling City.

When they first left the city, Lu Jing was in control, and the crowd seemed to be in high spirits, but after a while of commotion, they separated and looked lazy, especially those outside the yamen.

Lu Jing looked at the sun in the west and roughly understood it in his heart.

At most, the sun will set and the sky will get dark in more than an hour. Many people thought that they would come to patrol before sunset today and make some noise. After all, this is how the yamen often does things.

In such an era, Lu Jing is naturally used to it, but in such an era, there are also people with ideals.

Lu Jing didn't know why he felt depressed in his heart. Looking at those people who were walking around and whispering to each other, he couldn't help but roar.

"Wait!"

The people who had already dispersed stopped and turned to look at Lu Jing in confusion.

Just when someone wanted to ask Captain Lu what was going on, Lu Jing spoke first.

"I know you don't have much confidence, and I also understand that you want to go home early.

This group of people has killed seven people, seven lives! Even if they are all idlers, they are also from Wuling! The criminals haven't left yet, and no one wants to see any harm to the elders in their hometown...

Catch this kind of evil bandit, spread the news, and the evil people will not dare to come to our Wuling!

I won't say much about the brothers in the government office, and since you have come to help, you have a good mind. I, Lu Jing, just practiced some martial arts and was valued by the county master. I am not a great person, but I am also from Wuling!

Today, there is a chance to catch the murderer. Lu promises here that if the murderer shows up, I will fight him first, and I also implore you to do your best! After the merits are judged, Lu will definitely ask for rewards for you!"

Originally, he wanted to scold a few words, but he became like this. This sentence made Lu Jing excited. At the end of the words, he bowed to everyone.

To be honest, the others were slightly stunned, but then they were also a little excited.

"Captain Lu, you don't have to be polite!" "Okay, since you are so sincere, I, Zhang, will accompany you tonight!"

"Don't worry, Captain Lu, I will definitely work hard tonight!"

"Me too!" "Then let's hide like we just said?"

"When it comes to ambush, we hunters are better."

"Yes, you and I, the beasts in the mountains are the most sensitive, and those thieves are similar. When hiding, you can't look too much, you have to suppress your breath..."

"How to suppress it?" "Well, to put it simply, just think of yourself as a grass like the flowers and plants next to you."

"How can a person be a grass?"

"Why are you so stupid? Well, what people say is actually to keep calm and not be happy or sad!"

"Hey, not only that, those beasts are very cunning. Today the wind blows out from the mountains. This is the right time. We found this first and used it for ambush. It is considered a geographical advantage. Then, as my uncle said, you have to suppress your popularity..."

"Ah?"

"Hey, we are going to catch the murderer, not hunt beasts!"

"Almost, almost..."

The emotions of the crowd were obviously mobilized. Although it is not said that human life is as worthless as grass these days, there are few government officials who can be so open-hearted and passionate. Why not try your best to accompany them?

It is said that people's hearts are not ancient, but if you can punish evil and get rewards, who would not be willing?

When the crowd dispersed again and the deployment was slightly adjusted, Lu Jing really kept his promise and hid in the front position.

And this time, the spirit of the crowd when they left was obviously different.

-----------------

The sun gradually set, and there was still sunlight on the other side of the mountain, but Wuling City in the distance was shrouded by the shadow of the western ridge.

The river beach had long been quiet, and the overturned areas had roughly returned to their original state, as if nothing had happened.

In the ambush, the old hunters who were originally only there to assist became the instructors, and methods such as going against the wind, covering with grass, and covering with soil were also used.

Time passed little by little, and after more than an hour, the sun in the distance had also set, and the sunset glow was left only in the sky.

The nearby trails and river beaches also quickly darkened.

Slowly, the sounds of small animals around increased, and after the noise of insects and birds, the croaking of frogs became the main melody.

In this movement of natural sounds, only a group of people who wanted to catch the bandits remained quiet, and even had to hold their urine.

The only difficulty was to hold down the dogs, but the hunters also had their own ways.

The government was so determined to eliminate harm for the people, and the other people who participated in the operation also showed their attitude, which in turn influenced the other policemen.

During the waiting process, when the sun was still there, there were still a few pedestrians passing by, and naturally no one noticed the ambushes.

But after sunset, this place was like a real wilderness.

Because of the recent murders, there might be a few people who would pass by at night, but no one dared to walk after dark.

Lu Jing and a few skilled hunters lay down beside the hunters, while the others lay further away. From the mound where they were, they could see the river beach, which was only twenty steps away.

Looking up at the sky, the light clouds did not completely block the moon, but the starlight was hard to see. On such a night, visibility was definitely not very high.

Having waited for so long, although Lu Jing was patient, he was also a little bored. He looked at the hunters around him and found that several of them were breathing evenly and lying down in a comfortable position. Some of them were just lying down, more like sleeping than ambushing.

The dogs also lay down on the ground, wagging their tails from time to time, but if they wagged too much, they would be slapped by their owners.

The croaking of frogs had overwhelmed many other noises. Many ambushing people, except for a few companions around them, could not even detect whether others were there or not. They only knew the approximate direction, and had the illusion that they were forgotten in the wilderness and others had left.

This feeling made people very uncomfortable, and they could only take turns to rest in the second half of the night.

It takes a lot of luck to catch a criminal these days, but at least everyone is holding back their anger tonight!

I don’t know how long it has been, many people have relaxed. This is not real laziness, but fatigue caused by long-term high concentration.

But before you know it, the frog croaking around has become smaller, and the surroundings have gradually become very quiet.

Beside Lu Jing, the resting hunters were all refreshed, and the one lying down immediately turned over carefully and gently stroked the goshawk on his shoulder.

God has eyes tonight, maybe we are waiting for it!

Lu Jing looked at the hunters’ reactions, and this feeling inexplicably arose in his heart. He rubbed his eyes and stared at the area of ​​focus on that side.

After a while, Lu Jing frowned slightly, as if something was jumping out from the small valley in the distance.

The place where everyone was ambushing was near the road in the suburbs of the county, and the direction of the small valley was the real mountain, which was the dividing line between the mountain forest and the human activity area.

The thing that came out was not slow, like a shadow under the moonlight, it came to the road ahead. Soon, in people's eyes, there seemed to be a figure walking with a swaying gait at the end of the road.

When I got closer, it seemed to be a woman?

Just an ordinary person? Why did the woman walk alone on such a secluded road at night? Or it was a place where a murder happened recently.

Was she the one who just came out from the valley? Was I dazzled?

Everyone who saw the woman had similar doubts in their hearts. After all, it was night, and it was hard to say whether they had seen it wrong.

"Woo woo..."

Even though the four-browed dog next to the hunter was wearing a muzzle, it also let out a threatening roar at this moment, and the other dogs also felt a little uncontrollable.

The sound was very light, but the movement naturally attracted the attention of the hunter and Lu Jing, but at this moment they could only try to appease it.

But when the woman was only a dozen steps away from the riverbank, her body suddenly stopped. Her originally straight body suddenly hunched in a weird way, and she stretched her neck to look around.

That feeling, as if wondering about something.

Lu Jing looked at the people around him and several hunters, all of them frowned.

Something is wrong, I always feel something is wrong!

This seems to be the woman's idea. The next moment, the woman seemed to be suddenly awakened, turned around and rushed in the direction she came from, her speed was astonishing.

In any era, an ideal and ambitious official would instinctively doubt someone when he saw someone suddenly running in front of him.

At this moment, Lu Jing's mind was like lightning, and it seemed that a lot of information was connected in an instant.

The scholar who had a tryst with the woman but was robbed, the four dead robbers, the tragic death, the missing woman, and the woman who was now extremely skilled...

Suddenly, Lu Jing's mind flashed, and he grasped something that he had always ignored.

Who said that women can't be murderers?

At this moment, Lu Jing almost subconsciously shouted out.

"This person may be the murderer, catch her--"

After the shout, the hunters took the lead in untying the hounds.

"Woof woof woof...Woof woof...""Woof woof woof..."

Several dogs rushed out like the wind, followed by Lu Jing and other skilled people. The people who were ambushing in other positions also became excited and shouted and jumped out to chase.

"Where are you going--""Little thief, stay here--"

"Still want to run?" "Catch him--"

The crowd was excited and shouted, and the originally quiet wilderness suddenly felt like a bustling crowd, and waves of anger rose with the roars...

"Woo wow--"

The woman let out a strange cry that was not human, and ran faster, but the hounds were also incredibly fast.

The fastest four-browed dog had already rushed to the woman and bit her leg directly.

"Woo~"

"Woo wow wow——"

After this bite, the woman seemed to be deformed in the eyes of Lu Jing and others. She shrank horribly, kicked the dog away with a strange cry, and rushed forward again.

What the hell is this thing?

With this thought in mind, Lu Jing was the fastest, using his light body skills to the limit, and rushed to the vicinity of the thing together with the four-browed dog and other dogs that pounced on it again.

"Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~"......

The sound of bowstrings came from afar. It was the hunter who bent his bow and shot. In the dim light, the sound of the arrow breaking through the air seemed to pass by Lu Jing.

Although the arrow did not hit the target, it obviously made the thing panic for a while. Several dogs rushed over directly, making canine tearing and fighting sounds.

And Lu Jing was close enough.

At this point, with the help of moonlight, Lu Jing could see more clearly. He actually saw that the thing covered with clothes had a ghostly face, which frightened his heart.

Not a human! Monster? Ghost?

No matter what you are, you are the one to be caught today!

Lu Jing was also ruthless. Ferocity replaced fear. He stepped quickly towards the target. The ring-headed broadsword behind him was unsheathed with a "clang" sound while he roared.

The next moment, the knife ring broke through the air with a "woohoo" sound and chopped straight at the target.

"Take my knife--"

The knife flashed, and blood suddenly appeared!

"Ah——"

The horrifying screams exploded with waves of sound.

Lu Jing, who was closest to him, felt dizzy and couldn't help but cover his ears. Several skilled people who followed him fell down one after another...

Several dogs were so painful that they rolled over with their mouths loose, and the people chasing from a little further away also couldn't help but hold their ears...

When everyone came to their senses, they saw a strange shadow disappearing in the distance. Lu Jing saw clearly that at the moment of disappearance, the ghostly face seemed to be staring at him with resentment with a double image...

Even those who had spare energy forgot to chase for a while, obviously frightened by the inhuman movement just now.

But after reacting, no one had the intention to chase into the mountain...

Even Lu Jing was just a flesh and blood body, and he would be afraid. Although the others did not directly confront the thing, they were frightened a lot.

Soon the crowd gathered.

"Captain Lu, are you okay?" "What was that just now?"

"It doesn't look like a human..."

Everyone was either pale or horrified, and even their ears were still full of tinnitus. Some people had just climbed up.

Lu Jing felt the worst. He was the closest, and his head was swollen and painful at the moment, and he felt like vomiting. He barely held on by holding his breath.

Several hunters squatted down at this time, looking at the dogs on the ground very uncomfortably.

"Hu Zi, Zhui Feng..." "Da Wu..."

Four of the five dogs were already dead, and the leading four-browed dog was not in a good condition at the moment. It could only be said that it was still breathing...

-----------------

The next day, everyone who participated in the ambush yesterday had returned to the city, and the other team also knew what happened to Lu Jing last night.

Many people followed Lu Jing to the county government morgue to re-examine the previous corpses.

At this time, looking at the corpses with torn necks and thinking about the situation last night, everyone couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts.

The murderer is not a human, he is most likely a monster!
