Chapter 53: Cause and Effect
They were escorted in the other direction.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at their destination, at the foot of a high mountain.
In front of them was a village, the scale of the village was very large, a flat land at the foot of the mountain, Wang Dengming estimated that there were at least 3,000 people here, but except for a few dozen wooden houses in the northernmost part of the village, most of the houses here were all circular structures, and the thatched houses with sharp tops were all round.
At the southern end of the village, there is a cliff, and there is no way to go, and to the east, there is a small river, and by the river, you can see some women washing something.
They were put in a cattle pen, and each was chained to a thick wooden post.
It wasn't until this that the rotten cloth on Colin's mouth was removed.
As soon as the strip of cloth in Colin's mouth was removed, he gasped for air. After she had adjusted her breath, Wang Dengming asked, "What about the old hunter?"
"He, he ran. ”
"Run, how?"
Anger welled up in Colin's eyes, and after a while, he said, "He's a despicable person, he let me keep my pursuers in the way, but he took the opportunity to run away." ”
Jones Medi immediately shouted angrily: "How can this be, shameless and incompetent despicable fellow!"
"I'm sorry, but I'm the one who caused you to be a problem. ”
Wang Dengming smiled and said, "This has nothing to do with you, we are all the way, and we should save you." ”
Colin's tears came again, and they were very sad.
Tu Gordon Cloth roared: "What are you crying about, he ran away, and when you see him shoot him down, it will be solved." ”
Wang Dengming's eyes blinked twice, and said: "Tu Gordonbu, you don't understand, I think that maybe Colin has an unusual relationship with the old hunter, that's why she is so sad." ”
"Relationship, what relationship? Understood, it's a couple. ”
Colin suddenly said: "Don't say it, don't say it, we're all going to die, we're all going to die!"
Tu Gordonbu laughed: "We killed so many of them, of course we have to die, what about you, are there any people who killed them?"
Colin wiped his tears and said, "No, as soon as we came in, we were caught, they ambushed us, and at night, we didn't react at the time, so we ran, who knows, that bastard said, let me block the attack of the wild man in front of me, he went to outflank him from behind, who knows, he, he actually ran away like this!
Tu Gordon said with frustration: "Of course, we have submachine guns and grenades, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been caught, we all jumped out of their traps." ”
Colin apologized again.
Wang Dengming said, "What kind of weapon did you bring?"
"It's just two pistols, and I carry a lot of bullets. ”
"Officer Colin, I don't understand a question, didn't you say you were waiting for us at that abandoned guard station in the canyon, why didn't you wait?"
"The deserter said that by his ability he could find the exploration team, and who knows, as soon as he came in, he would ..... Do not say. ”
Jones Medi sneered: "It's okay now, it's still the hunter, he has become the prey, wait, he will definitely not be able to escape." ”
The four of them were silent for a while, and Tu Gordon preached: "Now it's troublesome, the exploration team didn't find it, and we are like this ourselves." ”
Colin sighed and said, "The exploration team has long been eaten by wild wolves!"
Although Wang Dengming had a certain psychological preparation, he was still surprised when he heard such words, and asked, "How do you know?"
"One of them in this tribe who understands English interrogated me, and when we talked, I learned that he was the chief, and he told me, and he said how many people there were in the exploration team, what they looked like, how old they were, etc., and they were all right, the wolves here are very scary, you should see the wolves. ”
Wang Dengming said: "See, how many wolves are there in this ghost place?"
"Many, many, I tell you, when you cross the canyon, don't you see three roads?"
Jones Medi said, "yes. What's wrong?"
"You don't know, that's the trap, we take any way is death, if you want to live, you have to take the road that no one has walked, so that you don't fall into the trap, those three roads, the people in their tribe stepped out, in order to trick the people who came in into the trap, so, no matter which one you choose, it is a dead end. ”
Wang Dengming suddenly realized!
Tu Gordonbu hung his head and sighed: "So, my little brother can be regarded as going in to plant and fight?"
Jones Medi couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You're like this yourself, and you still take care of your little brother?"
Colin continued: "Actually, not all people are killed directly, or eaten by wolves, they will also arrest people and sacrifice them, in the south of this village, there is a stone tower, which is a place to worship the wolf god, I was cut down yesterday, I don't know what's going on, after they cut down three people, I was left, I understand now, they are using me to threaten you, I'm sorry." ”
Wang Dengming said: "It's not your fault. ”
"No, I shouldn't have said, we still have three fellow policemen. If I hadn't said it, the chief wouldn't have used me to blackmail you, and you wouldn't have been arrested, but in fact, he knows a lot, and I look at him as if he knows a lot about the situation outside the Valley of the Shokull, and I talk to him a lot. ”
Tu Gordonbu was stunned and said: "Since they know a lot, why do they want to kill people indiscriminately, don't they know that killing people is a crime!"
"The chief's statement is that people, they are all eaten by wild wolves, and they have nothing to do with them, and in fact, eighty percent of the people who come in here are torn apart by wild wolves. ”
Wang Dengming asked, "Then which road did you take at that time?"
"We went on the right side, and we went up that road, and soon we saw wild wolves, dozens, and they were terrible. ”
Inside the bullpen, there was silence again.
Wang Dengming asked again: "Wolves, let's leave them alone, Colin, why did the people of this tribe design such a trap to harm people?"
Colin sighed and said, "Officer Wang, you can't get around the wolf, he said, this is the world of the wolf god, the wolf god is their belief, and they don't want the wolf god to be disturbed." ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"Yes, he also said that the Valley of the Shokull is where they live, they are used to being quiet, and if someone opens a gold mine here, then not only will their faith in the wolf god be disturbed, but their peaceful life will be completely disrupted, which they do not want to see. ”
Tu Gordonbu then asked, "So, isn't this Curtain Skull Valley referring to a valley?"
"Yes, Shokull Valley, their interpretation is that this is where they live, and this is where wolves live, and this is their world, and this is the world of wolves, and they protect wolves, and wolves protect them, and that's all. ”
"Is there any gold here?"
Colin thought for a moment and said, "That's how he answered me, not at all, it's pure falsehood, even if there is, it's hidden deep in the heart of the earth, and no one can dig it up." ”
