Chapter 150: Stump
I heard someone reminding me, and subconsciously looked under the stone, and sure enough, there was a Miao cigarette stick.
In addition to the beautiful appearance, the Miao family cigarette stick integrates national craftsmanship and weapons, and the genuine cigarette stick is very valuable, even if the owner is not there, it will not be discarded at will.
I walked quickly to the stone and flicked the cigarette stick a few times with my knife to take a closer look, but I didn't expect to pull a few snow-white finger bones from under the stone.
"There's a corpse down there! Ember leaves, come over and help. I beckoned Ye Shen to find two wooden sticks, put stones on the ground, and pried out the stones that had been buckled into the soil for about half a foot.
There was a torn corpse pressed down there, and judging from the position of the corpse's right hand, he should have grabbed a cigarette stick and fell to the ground on his back, and then was smashed into the ground by the stones that followed.
Depending on the size of the stone, it is impossible to cover a person underneath, and the bones under the stone are just as mutilated. Judging from the corpse, his body and head exposed on the edge of the stone were all cut off and taken away by himself.
In the past, there was not only a big war here, but it was extremely tragic.
I was about to use my dagger to pick open the corpse to find some clues, but I heard Ye Shen shouting, "Zhaozi, look at that stone, it looks like a snake's head." ”
I turned my head to look at the stone we had dug up, and realized that it was actually a serpentine stone carving, the size of a millstone, and the whole stone had been carved into the shape of a snake's head. If the stone carving is still complete, it should be a venomous snake with its fangs exposed, ready to open its mouth to devour people. The stone sculpture in front of me had obviously had its jaw cut off, so I didn't recognize it in its entirety at first.
Although I don't know much about Miaojiang, I also know that many places have the custom of worshipping gods, and the more ancient the people, the more so. This snake head is only afraid that Miao Zhai is the object of worship as a guardian god. Since it had been so badly destroyed, how could there be any living people in the stockade.
I looked at Yu Shitong: "Are you sure you have lived here?" ”
"I ...... I'm sure ......" Yu Shitong said with great certainty, although his face turned pale with fright, "When we came over, we lived in the house over there. ”
"Let's take a look!"
The room Yu Shitong said was already overgrown with weeds, and wild grass that was more than a meter tall even grew out of the door. Plants have the characteristics of facing the sun, and the growth of grass leaves like this is by no means the result of a day or two.
The moment I used my knife to pull away the blades of grass, I saw a small colorful snake come out of the grass and swim into the house as fast as possible: "Don't walk after me. Yu Shitong, take me to the room where you lived. ”
Yu Shitong pointed to a side room: "We lived in that room at the time, and I left my makeup bag in the house when I left......"
Sure enough, there was a dusty makeup bag in the room, and there were even a few blood-stained finger prints on the bag, which should have been the marks left by someone who grabbed the makeup bag with their hands before they died.
Yu Shitong's face turned white all of a sudden: "That handprint, it's not mine...... It's really not mine. ”
As Yu Shitong spoke, the bag that fell on the dresser suddenly squirmed, and it looked as if something trapped inside heard movement outside and wanted to struggle to get out of the trap inside.
I pulled out my long knife, pressed the tip of the knife against the zipper of the makeup bag, and gently picked at it, and a gap opened in the makeup bag. I thought that a poisonous snake would come out of the bag, but I didn't expect that a white finger jumped out of the bag.
The severed finger first pressed on the table, then bounced off the dresser, curled up in the air, and then popped up on the table with a crisp sound.
With a snap, the fingers bounced off into the space behind the dresser.
I was only a step slower when I heard a rustle around the room, and the old man hiding in my backpack quickly said, "There's a swarm of snakes outside!" ”
Before he finished his words, Ye Yan, who was guarding outside, ran in with Monk Shi on his back: "Zhaozi, it's not good, there are snakes outside, there are a lot of snakes." ”
In just a few moments, I saw countless poisonous snakes poking their heads out of the cracks around the room and struggling desperately into the room. The next moment, like a tidal wave, a group of snakes sealed the door of the room and rushed into the room in droves.
When Xiao Baitang, who was standing on the periphery, grabbed a handful of medicinal powder and sprinkled it at the door, the violent poisonous snake became docile in an instant, like a tamed pet twisting gently around the ground, waiting for the master's praise.
When I was dumbfounded, the little white sugar quickly sprinkled the powder all around us, and all the poisonous snakes that had come in half of the cracks in the walls and windows stopped, and obediently lay motionless in the cracks in the walls.
Xiao Baitang said: "My medicine powder can't control the poisonous snake for long, so I quickly waded on the ground and walked out." Don't step on poisonous snakes, once they are frightened, these snakes will fight back en masse. Hurry up! ”
"No, I don't dare to ......" Yu Shitong trembled with fright, and didn't dare to go forward.
Walking on the ground seems to be nothing, but now we have to put our feet under the viper's body, slowly pick the snake away, and then move forward step by step. Not everyone can stand the fear of a poisonous snake wriggling on their instep, let alone a few girls.
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Lu Xiaoying, Xiao Baitang, it's hard for you to carry one by one, I'll carry one, let's go out first." ”
There are only four people on our side who can walk into the snake group without fear, Monk Shi's Gu poison has attacked again, Ye Shen must carry him on his back, I can only let Lu Xiaoying and them each carry a girl on their backs and go out.
Xiao Bai Tang carried a girl in front first, I turned around and carried Yu Shitong behind, and followed the road that was trampled by Xiao Bai Tang step by step to the outer yard. The poisonous snake that was picked open by the little white sugar didn't react at first, but when I walked to the outhouse, it was obvious that the poisonous snake here was much more agile than before, and it swam back quickly shortly after being picked open by the little white sugar, and twisted around my feet.
Efficacy!
It must be a matter of medicinal efficacy, we are now almost twelve or thirteen meters away from the same place, and the medicinal effect will naturally weaken a lot. There was a lot of medicinal powder sprinkled by the little white sugar just now, and I don't think she would have much stock on her, otherwise, she should have sprinkled the medicinal powder all the way out, instead of risking to wade through the snakes like now.
I had just taken a few steps forward, and suddenly I felt a chill on my neck - a poisonous snake was burrowing into my clothes along the neckline? But I'm carrying a man on my back, how did the snake get in?
The next moment, I suddenly felt as if two small sharp claws had grabbed the skin on my back, kicking my back and crawling into my clothes. That's not a snake, it's Shougong (gecko)!
Some people list the Shougong as one of the five poisons, and some people exclude the Shougong and include spiders in the five poisons. In any case, a palace keeper who can come and go freely among the snakes is not a good kind.
A cold sweat suddenly broke out on my forehead: "Yu Shitong, what's in my neck?" ”
"Bloodstreak Guarding the Palace." Yu Shitong leaned on my shoulder and whispered, "I put it in!" ”
"You ......" Everyone stopped for a moment, and I clearly heard the sound of Lu Xiaoying and Ye Yan twitching their weapons, and Xiao Baitang also turned around in front of him, followed by a delicate scimitar in his hand.
I saw Yu Shitong's face behind me on the knife side of the little white sugar, and my heart couldn't help but tighten suddenly. Yu Shitong's face didn't know when it had become as white as paper, and a trace of bloody red lines oozed from the corners of her eyes, which looked like blood and tears were flowing at first glance, but in fact, there was not even a trace of blood in her eyes.
I said in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”
Yu Shitong said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter who I am. The important thing is that your lives are in my hands. Listen to me, cooperate with me, everything is easy to say, otherwise, you will not be able to get out of Miaojiang. ”
I said in a deep voice again, "What do you want me to do?" ”
"I want you to kill." The man whispered, "Kill the three women you are guarding, and then, on my orders, kill people, that's all." ”
I coldly refused, "Impossible! They are my employer. ”
The man scoffed, "Employer? It's ridiculous, even with your little ability, you dare to come out and walk the magic way. What's even more ridiculous is that there are still people who will believe you! I crept up behind you twice, and I spoke twice, and you didn't notice that there was one more person in the group, what kind of warlock was it? ”
Talking twice? I couldn't help but shudder, and I already recognized the other person's voice.
The first time, when we were standing on the top of the mountain, she said that the village below was called "Pansnake Village". At that time, we were engrossed in observing the situation of the stockade, and I was only about half a foot from the edge of the cliff.
But at that time, a ghost appeared silently behind us, and she almost cried out to us. If then she reached out from behind and pushed my vest gently......
The second time, we were at the gate of the stockade, and someone said that there was a cigarette stick under the stone, and none of us paid attention to where the sound came from. At that time, there was a ghost in the midst of us, sneering as I searched everywhere for the remains.
None of us even noticed when this ghost appeared in our team, but after her two reminders, we broke into this deserted Miao village.
The ghost chuckled softly, "You're scared, aren't you?" A ghost-fearing warlock is rare. I'll give you three breaths to consider whether you're going to kill as I ask, or whether you're going to die first. One ......"
Three breaths is three seconds. This may seem like a short time, but it is enough for a gambler to make a judgment.
And I'm the gambler, the gambler who is gambling with my life.
