Chapter 1207 Stealing golden silkworms in the middle of the night
This single stilted building was built with stones and big trees. It looks a bit old. Moreover, it is some distance away from the Miao village stilted building.
Xiao Chen, Mo Xiaowan and Sang came to the door of the old house and knocked on the door. After a few minutes, no one came to open the door. Xiao Chen looked inside with clairvoyance and found that the things inside were quite
Much, however, looks confusing.
A mute old man, usually alone, and raising those extraordinary golden silkworms, made Xiao Chen feel that it was really strange.
"Xiao Chen, is there no one inside?" Sang asked.
"There should be no one. The mute is just mute, not deaf. He should be able to hear our knocking."
People who are deaf and mute cannot hear other people's voices.
Since there was no one, Xiao Chen could only leave with the two girls.
So where did this mute go?
Xiao Chen didn't know that after leaving here and going back to Patriarch Shi's home, Patriarch Shi and his wife were not at home because of something, which meant that Patriarch Shi's youngest son was at home.
Last night, the other party accompanied Xiao Chen to the riverside to offer sacrifices, but in the end, he only caught a strange fish.
"Mr. Xiao, did you just go to see Uncle Mute?" Shi Sanjin asked.
"I looked for it, but couldn't find it."
"Mr. Xiao, this mute is usually floating around. We don't know exactly where he lives. He gives people a mysterious feeling. He usually doesn't come into contact with other people."
Xiao Chen already knew about this because Chief Shi had already told him.
However, this kind of person made him feel strange.
As the saying goes, people should not be judged by their appearance. Xiao Chen does not decide a person by his appearance. However, the face is determined by the heart. This is no joke. What a person is thinking in his heart will slowly appear on the other person's face over time.
So, many people with fierce-looking faces are not ordinary people.
"You know those golden silkworms on the mountain, right?"
"Know."
Of course Shi Sanjin knew.
"Then what do they eat?"
"I'm not too sure either."
Shi Sanjin didn't know what those golden silkworms ate, but he knew that those golden silkworms definitely didn't eat mulberry leaves. The reason why the dumb uncle put those golden silkworms on the mulberry trees on the mountain was
Many people think this may be due to sunbathing or other reasons.
"However, I heard that those golden silkworms are not to be messed with. They are very evil. Anyone except the dumb uncle who dares to touch them will be in bad luck."
Unlucky?
"What's the bad luck method?"
"Just all kinds of bad luck."
…
In the evening, at the head of the Shi clan, Xiao Chen and the other three had dinner together. Regarding the situation in the Dongjiang Miao Village, one was a water ghost and the other was a golden silkworm Gu. So far, nothing could be found out.
However, it is not like Xiao Chen is at Xitang Miao Village now, because then the murderer will escape early.
Of course, what Xiao Chen can be sure of is that the murderer should be in Dongjiang Miao Village.
Xiao Chen was just a little suspicious of the mute man now, but he couldn't see him in person.
So how can we find him?
Xiao Chen seemed to have thought of a good way.
It is late at night. After dinner, if there is no activity in the Miao village, you will definitely go to bed early. Because there is no electricity here, there is naturally no entertainment activities. After dinner, there is nothing else except taking a bath and resting.
.
Xiao Chen, Sang, and Mo Xiaowan were in the room. Xiao Chen looked at the two women and said, "Tonight, you guys are here, I have something to go out."
"Are you going to the river again?" Sang asked.
"I'm going to steal something."
Steal something?
Sang and Mo Xiaowan were both surprised. What was Xiao Chen going to steal?
Late at night and around one o'clock in the morning, Xiao Chen quietly jumped out of the room window. He didn't bring a flashlight or anything, and just like that, he quickly passed through the stilted buildings in the Miao Village, and then headed towards the wild mulberry trees on the mountain.
If you are in a rural area, these mulberry trees are planted in mulberry fields, and those mulberry trees need to be pruned regularly. In this case, these mulberry trees do not look very tall.
Many of them are only a little over one meter high at most. No matter how high they are, it will be difficult to pick those mulberry leaves.
However, in the mountains of Miao Village, these wild mulberry trees seem to be two to three meters high, or even four to five meters high, which is normal, and the mulberry leaves look much larger.
Now these autumn silkworms are on this mountain before they form cocoons. The Miao villagers are not afraid of catching them or doing anything, because before these silkworms form cocoons, they are not
Very valuable.
When Xiao Chen came here in the middle of the night, he couldn't see much moonlight because it was blocked by many surrounding trees.
However, when I came to the wild mulberry forest, I found that it was also quiet here, and I didn't see anyone.
In the middle of the night, those people must have rested.
Xiao Chen remembered the location of Uncle Mute's golden silkworms. Looking around, he saw that the golden silkworms on the mulberry tree were still there.
At night, those silkworms should be resting.
At this time, when Xiao Chen saw these golden silkworms, Xiao Chen went up directly, grabbed all thirty golden silkworms, put them on a large leaf, rolled them up, and took them away directly.
After coming down from the wild mulberry forest, Xiao Chen went back to the Chief Stone's home.
At this time, Mo Xiaowan had already fallen asleep, but Sang was still waiting for Xiao Chen to come back.
After Xiao Chen came in from the window, Sang asked: "Xiao Chen, are you back?"
"Sister Sang, you're back, look what this is?"
Sang looked over. She thought it was something at first. Unexpectedly, when she looked over, she saw silkworms at first sight. However, after taking a closer look, she found that these were the dumb uncle's golden silkworms.
Thirty golden silkworms were all brought back by Xiao Chen.
After Zai Sang took the kerosene lamp and lit it, he could see more clearly under the light.
Xiao Chen had already seen these golden silkworms in the afternoon.
However, at this time, when I looked at these golden silkworms, I didn't know why I felt particularly scary. They were completely different from those ordinary autumn silkworms.
Under the light, the heads of these golden silkworms look like the heads of children.
"Xiao Chen, what on earth is this? Why doesn't it look like a silkworm?" Sangdu asked with some fear.
Xiao Chen picked up one and took a closer look. He was sure that it was not a silkworm at all.
Although there are many types of silkworms, and the colors may be different, such as white, green, etc., but now that he picked it up and took a look, this was definitely not the case.
So, these are definitely not those silkworms.
So what is this?
The more Sang looked at it, the more he thought it looked like the same thing.
Xiao Chen and Sang looked at each other. Although they didn't say anything, they both felt that these golden silkworms looked like something special.
