Along the way, the big black dog barked more and more frequently, almost every once in a while.
At first, Qin Xiao could still hide it.
But as the frequency increased, his mood became heavy.
After picking up a bone from the big black dog again, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Master, I have something to report to you." Qin Xiao came to Lu Xiaoyue and whispered.
Lu Xiaoyue nodded: "Well, you go ahead."
"Actually, every time Dahei screams, it's because he discovered something..."
"This thing sounds a bit... that, but it has nothing to do with our operation this time. Originally, I didn't want to disturb Master..."
"But Dahei discovered a lot..."
"So you found that you couldn't hide it anymore, so you were ready to tell me?"
Lu Xiaoyue smiled lightly, but her tone sounded particularly stern.
"yes……"
Qin Xiao didn't dare to lie anymore, so he could only grit his teeth and admit it.
"Okay, I already know what you said."
Lu Xiaoyue simply waved her hand, without going into too much detail. Instead, she pointed towards the back and said, "Call them over and let's discuss it together."
In fact, Jian Zhen had already told her through some actions that the big black dog had discovered human bones.
At first, Lu Xiaoyue was a little flustered, shocked, and even scared.
But after Jianzhen's explanation and comfort, she has calmed down a lot, at least she won't make a fuss anymore.
Moreover, through her and Jian Zhen's inferences, a lot of things have been guessed.
The human bones are real, and they probably came from the villagers of Lujiagou.
On the day of egg separation, when Lu Xiaoyue was preparing to go out to play, she specifically asked her mother about her little friends.
At that time, Mrs. Liu told her something - Lu Jiahui's father went out on business and had not come back for a long time.
In these years, Lu Jiahui's father has always been away doing business, and he usually only comes back every ten days and a half.
However, every time he comes back, he will be called over by the village chief and extorted.
After being bullied by the village chief, he felt resentful and would beat his son Lu Jiahui severely.
Over the years, Lu Jiahui has been beaten many times for this.
Because he often beats his children, Lu Jiahui's crying has even become a sign for the villagers to judge whether he has returned.
As soon as he heard Lu Jiahui crying, his father must have come back from outside!
However, during this time, the villagers suddenly discovered that Lu Jiahui had not cried for a long time.
Of course, this was not because his father was showing mercy and stopped beating him.
But Lu Jiahui's father has not been back for a long time and even missed the last egg separation day.
This situation has rarely happened before.
Because every egg-breaking day, there are so many eggs that can be divided, which is almost equal to half a family's income.
No matter how busy Lu Jiahui's father is, he can't forget this important day.
However, Lu Jiahui's father is not very popular in the village. No one cares much about whether he has come back or not. He just has another source of conversation.
Being able to mention "that guy hasn't come back for so long, I don't know where he died" is already the greatest concern.
Lu Xiaoyue also accidentally heard the news from her mother.
So when Jian Zhen explained the situation to her, she somehow remembered this and told Jian Zhen her guess.
After hearing this, Jian Zhen frowned immediately.
"The egg separation day was two days ago. If this person is really Lu Jiahui's father, then the time of the accident was only one or two days before the egg separation day."
"It seems that this thing came recently!"
Jian Zhen quickly deduced something.
Along the way, Dahei also told him many clues.
First of all, the smell of this stuff is very unique, Dahei has never smelled it before.
And it is so powerful that Dahei will feel scared just by smelling some smell.
What surprised him even more was that this thing had a very strong digestion ability. Dahei could not find its excrement along the way, not even saliva or sweat. Apart from scattered bones, there were no traces.
Combining these points and what he had deduced, Jian Zhen quickly came to a conclusion that surprised even himself.
This thing doesn't look like a beast at all!
The first is the smell. Whether it is a tiger or a big bear, Dahei has actually smelled their scent.
Therefore, from this point of view, these two can be excluded.
The second point is strength.
There is currently no other thing that Daikoku considers powerful except Kenshin.
Jian Zhen even asked specifically whether people like Wei Zhengyu were powerful, but Da Hei denied it.
It means: This thing is even more powerful than Wei Zhengyu!
The third point is also the most critical point.
No excrement, no saliva, no sweat, no traces of anything!
This is not how a living creature should behave!
Just like Lu Xiaoyue, just like Qin Xiao, Liu Xiyun and other disciples, just like the big black dog...
These living creatures will sweat as long as they exercise.
As long as you eat, you will inevitably leave saliva behind.
As long as there is digestion, digestive waste will be produced - that is, excrement!
This thing has nothing.
Unless it's just like Kenma, it's not a living thing!
When he thought of this, Jian Zhen suddenly shuddered.
Could it be that they are my kind?
It's been more than half a month since he came to this world, and he still hasn't figured out what kind of world this is.
Judging from the trip to Qingyue City, it looks like a low-level martial arts world, but the moves of the man in black... are more like some kind of magic!
Are there two different worlds here?
Jian Zhen was confused for a moment.
However, he is still optimistic and puts things aside for the time being if he can't figure it out.
The things in front of you are more important.
Not long after, Liu Xiyun and Chen Zhen, who had been in charge of the rear, came over together.
Four people, a dog, and a sword started their first discussion after entering the mountain.
As the eldest disciple, Qin Xiao was the first to stand up and speak, saying: "Well...since Master already knows about this matter, let me tell you the results of our discussion first."
"Okay." Lu Xiaoyue nodded in agreement.
Jian Zhen also nodded secretly and thought to himself: "That's good, I can just listen to these people's opinions."
Qin Xiao took a deep breath and began to say: "After discussion among the three of us brothers, we all agreed that it was caused by wild beasts!"
"As for the reason, there are two points."
"First of all, there have been large beasts in this mountainous area, namely bears! But it shouldn't be the case this time."
"Secondly, we noticed along the way that the trees around us had scratches on them, as if some kind of wild beast had rubbed them to relieve the itch."
"However, in addition to these two conclusions, we also have many questions... so we need to ask Master for advice."
With that said, Qin Xiao pointed to the ground and said, "We only found human footprints along the way..."
