Chapter 22: Something Happened

Fat Zhang's complaint immediately aroused the anger of the crowd, and the people in the two crews also persuaded Wei Zhengtu not to talk so much, so as not to attract death. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Being beaten down by a group of people, Wei Zhengtu felt particularly aggrieved, he thought that he came to this forest to stick a knife in both sides and save his friends, but now he was accused of saying that he was a more than defeated guy, such a huge gap made him want to leave with his hands, but because of the dangerous environment, he was timid and did not dare to go too far. In the end, it can be used as a little minion to play the front.

Seeing that Hao Jie's state was a little weak, Maur took out a piece of dry food in his pocket and handed it to Hao Jie.

"I'll see if there are any wild fruits on the road in a while, and I'll find some for everyone." Maul encouraged.

As soon as they heard this, everyone's original anger to get up gradually dissipated.

Just when everyone was relieved that they were about to eat fresh fruits, Wei Zhengtu, who had just run away in anger, staggered back again.

This time, Director Wei Zhengtu's face was pale again.

The anger just now has not completely dissipated, and the fat man Zhang saw this timid Wei Zhengtu running back again, and immediately teased with disdain: "My director, did you only reincarnate as a chameleon in your last life, why did you lose blood when you trot?" You're really terrible at planting this kind of combat power, aren't you? ”

Wei Zhengtu waved his hand, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said breathlessly: "It's not good, something happened." ”

Hearing this, the fat man Zhang's first reaction was that Mawuka had just overheard the conversation between them and the group, and was now standing at the intersection in front of him waiting to confront everyone.

"Brother Maur, didn't I say you, second brother, we have been out for so long, why is he still following us, what is the situation? Does he want to kill them all, and we won't stop until he catches us. ”

Maur felt that his second brother was not such a reluctant person, but looking at Wei Zhengtu's expression of being scared to death, he was not very sure what was going on in front of him.

Wei Zhengtu squatted on the ground and coughed dryly for a long time, and finally said something after resting.

"No, it's not Ma'uka in front."

"Oh, it's not Ma'uka, who is that?" Hearing that it was not Mawuka, the fat man Zhang was relieved.

Wei Zhengtu shook his head and said, "I don't know either. ”

Xin Ye felt that Wei Zhengtu's state was particularly wrong, he helped Wei Zhengtu beat his back, and then said: "Wei Zhengtu, is there someone in front of you who wants to block the road and rob or something else?" You speak slowly, don't worry. ”

This time, Wei Zhengtu still shook his head and denied it.

"It's not a roadblock, it's a dead man with his hands and feet tied in front of him."

"What? Dead man, are you sure? Xin Ye was surprised to hear this reply.

Being asked by Xin Ye like this, Wei Zhengtu was not particularly sure whether the situation he had just seen was real.

"I'm not sure, but I feel like the guy I just saw has no vital signs."

"Let's go, let's see." After listening to Wei Zhengtu's dictation, Xin Ye decided to go over and see what was going on in person.

However, the moment he saw the deceased, Xin Ye was still shocked, he looked at Jiang Kangping beside him, and at this time, the deputy head of the fourteenth prison district had a solemn face and looked very surprised.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Wei Zhengtu pushed the kinder Tian Wenqing and asked in a low voice, "Hey?" Wenqing? Who is this person? It looks like you all know him. ”

Tian Wenqing glanced at Wei Zhengtu, and said in a trance: "This person is the head of our 14th prison district, Shi Quan. ”

After Xin Ye stepped forward to check, it was certain that Shi Quan, whose hands and feet were bound, and who was sitting with his head bowed and his knees leaning on the big tree, had completely lost his vital signs. If it weren't for the colorful ropes on his hands and feet, everyone might have thought that this man was just resting by the tree.

"Why is the head of Shiquan Prison here? That's a strange thing, isn't it? Jiang Kangping first said to himself.

According to Xin Ye's memory, when Shi Quan finally said goodbye to himself, he said that there was a meeting that he needed to attend, and after the meeting, he would meet himself and the fat man Zhang again.

But in hindsight, this promise is like a judgment that does not stand up to inference, and it is lost in the sea. This stone tsuen never appeared again.

At that time, Xin Ye just regarded this disappearance as a perfunctory official prevarication, but now it seems that this question is not so simple, and what happened after Shi Quan left his sight has become the key to investigating the cause of his death.

Maur didn't know Shi Quan before, but he knew Shi Quan's five-flowered and tied head, which is a kind of binding ritual used in many tribes for "adult sacrifice".

After listening to Maur's explanation, the fat man Zhang didn't quite understand the specific operation process of this ceremony.

"Do you mean that this stone was killed by someone from some tribe? Or is it that the Shiquan people are already dead, so they will be discovered by a certain tribe and tied up like this? ”

Maul thought about it and felt that the first possibility would be greater, but the second was not completely impossible.

"Yes, I asked in vain, and you didn't explain what the idea was, so to sum up, we still have to investigate hard."

Xin Ye carefully observed the special way Shi Quan's hands and feet were tied, and asked Maul which tribes might perform adult sacrifice rituals during this season.

This time the answer given by Maur is relatively mixed, first of all, the tribes that carry out adult sacrifice rituals in this season will be more crowded, but normally speaking, everyone will not easily discard the holy relics used in the sacrifice here, generally speaking, everyone will tie up the holy relics, just to make a mark, but also to take possession. When it's time to return, take them back one by one.

"That means that if we wait here, we'll wait for the person who comes back to collect the prey, right?"

Maur didn't particularly understand the fat man's question, but he still nodded in confusion.

Xin Ye frowned and asked, "Maur, in fact, I have always had a question that I don't understand, that is, do you Hengjing Forest often appear holy objects similar to the current Shi Quan with the image of real humans?" ”

Maul hurriedly waved her hand and said, "How is it possible, then we will really become cannibals here." We still hunt ordinary animals most of the time, and at the same time use ordinary animals as sacred objects. But according to our religious tradition, all people or animals who are able to participate in the fire sacrifice must have a high level of spirituality in order to be favored by the fire god. Therefore, the people of our tribe will also proudly serve the gods as holy relics after death, which is also the best way for us to find our roots and convert to the faith. ”
