The day I was hugged by a goblin

Chapter 51 Bats

The mysterious pores on the corpses of all the livestock, as well as the seemingly invisible evil spirit on them, these are enough for Gu Shu to conclude that the death of livestock is definitely not simple.

But on the other hand, Gu Shu can also be sure that this is not the work of ghosts.In fact, ghosts are not interested in fresh blood, especially some animals, such as dogs and chickens. There are ghosts, and the crowing of chickens is like a wake-up call for ghosts.Therefore, ghosts not only dislike them, but also consciously stay away from them.

Therefore, Gu Shu did not think that the strange deaths of these livestock were caused by ghosts from the beginning to the end, but they were absolutely inseparable, so all he had to do was to find the connection between the two.

Just when Gu Shu had searched almost all the livestock and was staring at a dog in thought, Old Professor Huo walked over, his deep eyes were full of doubts, even a little condescending, of course, in his field he It is authority, he is qualified to be condescending.

"What do you see?" Professor Huo said lightly.

Gu Shu, whose thoughts were interrupted, turned around and saw Old Professor Huo looking at him carefully, but Gu Shu smiled and didn't answer, but suggested to go there and talk, at least to stay away from the overwhelming stench.The more Gu Shu was like this, the more questioning Professor Huo looked at him. Gu Shu didn't care, and walked over first, and Zhu Meili had already greeted him happily.

"Uncle, does it stink?" Zhu Meili worriedly stuffed the three or four masks she had just bought into Gu Shu's arms, and handed him half a bottle of the water he drank. She didn't dislike Gu Shu at all. The book has a smell.

Gu Shu rubbed his hair amusedly, "Of course it stinks." It's not that he can't be smelled by machines, but there are some tastes and smells that must be judged through the nose, which can be regarded as his professional ethics.

"How about Mr. Gu, do you see anything?" After Gu Shu and the others walked over, other people also came over, including the police and medical staff. Their eyes were either examining or questioning Gu Shu.

Gu Shu smiled and did not answer, but turned to look at Professor Huo, "Professor Huo, I don't know how you checked before? Do you know what caused the strange death of livestock?"

In fact, Gu Shu's original intention was to respect the elders and experts, but he didn't want to be seen by outsiders. He deliberately shirked it. It can be seen that he was playing tricks before, and now he wants to find a way to go down.The highly respected old professor Huo naturally wouldn't show it as clearly as others, but Gu Shu also saw the same thought in his eyes.

Gu Shu still didn't care, he just looked at old Professor Huo seriously, and saw the corner of Professor Huo's mouth twitch, "Actually, it's very simple, according to the depth, size and regularity of the wound, anyone who works in our line of work only needs one look, You can make a rough guess." Obviously, the old professor's words were aimed at Gu Shu, and it was obvious that even Team Wang was a little embarrassed not to look at Gu Shu's face.

There was no difference in Gu's writing. The old professor glanced at him and continued, "We also took a sample for DNA comparison, which proved that our guess is correct. It is a very common kind of bat." After finishing speaking, the old professor's eyes fell again. Gu Shu seems to be very persistent, "I don't know what Mr. Gu saw?" The same is true for other people.

Gu Shu was not annoyed, but asked with a faint smile, "I don't know what kind of bat it is?"

Although Gu Shu is a layman, neither an animal expert nor a naturalist, but as common sense, he also knows that there are no less than a few hundred species of bats in the world, but no matter what kind of bats they are, they have to rest during the day and look for food at night. In fact, except for a few species such as flying foxes and fruit bats that are completely vegetarian, most bats actually feed on insects. Gu Shu also knows that there are vampire bats, but Gu Shu knows even more, There are actually no vampire bats in the country or even the entire continent where they are located.

That is to say, according to common sense, it is impossible for bats to suck the blood of domestic animals here. Even if there are vampire bats, so many domestic animals will be sucked dry overnight. How is it a large-scale vampire bat?Moreover, on the night when the incident happened, all the villagers in Zaozhuang Village were at home. That is to say, when such a large number of livestock died, they lost blood and died without even having a chance to wake up their owners. What kind of frightening speed and quantity is this?Furthermore, why do they simply suck the blood of animals and turn a blind eye to humans?Isn't that weird?

But obviously, not everyone can think of these questions. A young man in a white coat said disdainfully, "What kind of bat can it be? Of course it is a vampire bat." As soon as he finished speaking, the other onlookers really looked at liars. Looking at them, Zhu Meili kept frowning.In fact, although he often couldn't understand Gu Shu's conversations with other people, he was particularly sensitive to the eyes and emotions of outsiders. As long as they didn't respect his master at all, he would know it clearly.

Regarding this, Gu Shu curled the corners of his lips noncommittally, and only stared at Professor Huo, "Really?" Although it was a question, Gu Shu's tone revealed a certain certainty.

Professor Huo frowned, glared at the man uncertainly, then shook his head and said, "It's not a vampire bat, but a very common bat. There are many provinces and cities in the north and south of our country. They generally like to live in Humid and dark caves," said the old professor with some doubts between his brows, "it's actually normal for this kind of bat to appear in deep mountains and old forests like Zaozhuang Village, and this kind of bat basically feeds on insects."

As soon as Professor Huo finished speaking, the faces of those proud and despised people were a little bit excited, but Gu Shu's eyes never fell on them from the beginning to the end, he just pointed at Professor Huo, "This is the key It's here." Gu Shu's tone was neither serious nor serious, but Professor Huo was inexplicably shocked.

According to the marks on the carcasses of domestic animals, it is known that the murderer is a kind of bat that feeds on insects, but the fact is that their numbers are terrifyingly large, and they have a certain powerful force that can suck them dry in the shortest time. The blood of domestic animals, on the other hand, these bats sucked the blood of all living things in the village except humans, why is this?

"Go to the village and have a look." Gu Shu finally suggested.

"Mr. Gu, you really don't need to wear it..." Wang Dui hesitated, after all, he was a deadly figure above, he dared not neglect, in case something happened.

"No, I have a sense of propriety." Gu Shu smiled lightly, he was too old to show off, and besides, he never had this habit, and Zhu Meili, a 400-year-old demon, is he still afraid of this?The most important thing is that it is too hot this day. If he wears such a heavy protective clothing, a protective helmet, and is fully armed, he will have to suffocate himself to death. This is only the reason why Gu Shu doesn't want to wear it.

"Okay." Wang Dui hesitated again and again, and finally compromised.

Just as a group of them walked into the village, a middle-aged man rushed up in a hurry, and started to apologize when he saw Gu Shu.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry Mr. Gu, I really can't help it, no one is willing to come when something like this happened in Zaozhuang Village, I can't find the way here and I can't guide the way, my leg broke before I found someone willing I’m really sorry I didn’t arrive until now.” The middle-aged man looked around 40 years old, his face was full of dust, and his face was flushed because of strenuous exercise. He explained while wiping his sweat, it can be seen that he just got out of the car and ran all the way. over here.

Gu Shu: ... It can be seen that he is impatient, "It's okay, Mr. Hu." This person's name is Hu Yaoguang, and he is an assistant assigned to him by the superiors. He is impatient and a bit simple and honest.

As soon as Gu Shu finished speaking, Hu Yaoguang quickly waved his hands, "No, no, Mr. Gu, please don't be polite, just call me Laohu."

"This is..." At this time, Dui Wang was puzzled.

"I'm Mr. Gu's assistant, Hu Yaoguang. You can just call me Lao Hu. I'm really sorry, I'm late for many reasons." On the other hand, I can't do without giving it, it's simply too enthusiastic, Gu Shu can't post it, so I just let him go.

Probably because the corpses were cleaned up, the village didn't have much stench, but it was dead silent, and the inexplicable dead silent made people feel chills all over the body.Zhu Meili unconsciously approached Gu Shu and grabbed the hem of his clothes, but although she was scared, her eyes kept rolling around.

Gu Shu could only see the depressing silence in the village, probably because there was no wind today, the empty village seemed like a dead village, not a single sound could be heard, not even a single insect could be seen.

But soon, the doubt in Gu Shu's mind was explained, that is why those bats sucked the blood of all domestic animals but ignored the blood of human beings alone.

It is a door painting.Door paintings are a special form of folk New Year pictures, also called door gods, which have the meaning of warding off evil spirits.In the past, every year during Chinese New Year, a pair of door gods must be affixed on the door of almost every household. The more ancient door gods generally painted Shen Tu and Yu Lei, two legendary gods who are good at catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits. Shen Tu is at the left door, and Yu Lei is at the right door.

But later, because the story of two generals guarding the palace gate for the emperor gradually evolved into Qin Shubao and Yuchigong, so after it spread to the folks, the door god gradually became Qin Shubao and Yuchigong. This custom has been passed down to the present. During the New Year, bright red couplets with beautiful meanings are affixed, but door gods must be affixed on the door leaf to expel evil spirits and keep the year safe.

But in fact, with the era of rapid development, many traditional customs have been slowly discarded or changed by people. Little by little, especially in the rapidly developing cities, door paintings, which are not too beautiful, have gradually been replaced. And forgetting, such as the word "Fu" which means good, or others.

But in many rural areas, the custom of sticking door gods is still preserved, and Zaozhuang Village is one of them.Gu Shu felt a little sad about this. In fact, it was these door paintings that were gradually discarded by people, or the door gods that were gradually forgotten by people, saved the people of Zaozhuang Village.

According to Gu Shu's previous speculation, bats that feed on insects and have no attack power against animals will suddenly suck the blood of animals. With such a terrifying speed and quantity, coupled with the weak evil spirit remaining on the animals, all Gu Shu can think of are those bats Being forcibly transformed by a ghost, and it is a ghost with self-consciousness. You must know that generally low-level ghosts do not have self-consciousness.

But despite this speculation, he couldn't figure out why those forcibly transformed bats didn't attack the villagers. In comparison, human blood was actually more attractive to them.Until he saw these door gods, there were door gods on almost every door of every house. Gu Shu instantly understood that they were the ones who blocked the attack of the evil bats on the villagers, because it was midnight at that time, and the villagers just closed their doors Sleeping at home, and the door god blocked the bat with evil spirits.
