Chapter 17: The Source of Mutation

Zhang Yue, who couldn't swim, didn't struggle a few times before she began to sink to the bottom. He tried hard to see Uncle Cheng and the old businessman surnamed Du on the shore, and while choking on water, he only vaguely noticed that the two of them were motionless, standing there, and even a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths.

Zhang Yue was calculated.

"Poof...... Ahem. When Zhang Yue woke up again, he was already tied to a chair, and he didn't know which dimly lit room he was in.

Having just woken up from a drowning coma, the fear had not yet dissipated, and he realized that he had been deceived. "Could it be that Uncle Cheng was lying to me from the beginning!" Zhang Yue had to assume that this was the case from the current situation. "Then what exactly do they want to do, and it was Wu Zhu named Wan Qi who gave me a hint and asked me to accept the commission of the merchant named Lao Du......"

It is obvious that Wan Qi, Lao Du and Uncle Cheng are all lying to him. It's just that Zhang Yue couldn't understand how he, a fledgling little collector, could provoke these strangers who had only met once, or even never seen before?

"Wang ......" came from the corner with a small cry, and Zhang Yue immediately reacted that Xiao Xiao was on the side. I don't know how it was there, the moment it fell into the water, he couldn't care about anything else at all.

"Hehe, little master. Before I saw him, I heard his voice first, and chatted all the way together, but Uncle Cheng's voice could still be heard by Zhang Yue quickly.

"I didn't expect you to even know how to swim, I almost didn't save you, you can't thank us? Otherwise, you would have drowned, hahahaha. ”

Hearing this laughter, Zhang Yue couldn't say uncomfortable, it turned out that this rough and hearty laughter was hiding his true purpose, and his acting skills were really good.

"Young Master Zhang Yue, don't think about it too much, I, Cheng Che, am really not a treacherous villain, and I haven't lied to you in what I told you, just think about it. Zhang Yue felt that your smiling tiger was right, and the truth was not a good thing.

"Beizhang Nanqi, in the name of Shanwei Haicheng, you Beizhang ranks first, but I look at you like this, I am not wary at all, it seems that almost four collector families should be broken off a family, haha. Still laughing, it turns out that his name is Cheng Che, although it is written differently, but I don't know what he has to do with the collector family who has always been the best at and has been committed to the strange animals in the water in "Mountains and Seas".

"What do you want to do? I'm a little person, I don't have anything on me when I first arrived, are you planning to kidnap me just because my father is Zhang Cheng?" Zhang Yue has now lost his personal freedom, so he can only admit it first, and then find a way to ask Xiaoxiao to help him get out of trouble.

"You are indeed a yellow-haired boy, and we are not short of money, what are we kidnapping you for?, but the strange thing formed by acid and chemical is an unexpected gain for us, I didn't expect him to give you this good thing as a personal collection. Now it seems that you won't use it at all, and it's a waste to give it to you. ”

"Okay, good, sour and for you, you let me go, if you want anything else, I will also come to my father, give it to you, please don't hurt me. Zhang Yue pretended to plead

"We don't want anything, you, don't think about going out, let alone going home. Cheng Che suddenly showed a fierce expression that he had never seen in the past few days, and suddenly pinched Zhang Yue's cheeks and stuffed something he didn't know what it was into his mouth. "Eat this, if you can't die in a few days, I'm here to give you a pill. ”

After saying this, Cheng Che left. But the pill choking in Zhang Yue's throat was estimated to kill him.

"Finally gone, Xiaoxiao! Xiaoxiao!" Zhang Yue shouted impatiently.

"Wang!" Xiaoxiao quickly jumped out of the shadow in the corner, climbed directly onto the chair, opened his mouth and began to gnaw on the rope that bound Zhang Yue.

But after biting on it, it stopped abruptly and began to sniff Zhang Yue's mouth.

"It's over, eared rats can ward off all kinds of poisons, and they must be very sensitive to poison. Zhang Yue thought to herself, "But fortunately, there is Xiaoxiao, as long as it is by my side, there is probably no problem." ”

After sniffing, Xiao continued to bite the rope, and soon bit out a big gap, and Zhang Yue broke free as soon as she struggled. At this time, Xiaoxiao hid in Zhang Yue's arms, he touched it vaguely, and Xiaoxiao curled up, which was the usual sleeping position.

But there are not so many of them, and the top priority is to flee first.

Secretly opened a crack in the door, and found that there was no one guarding here, could it be that Cheng Che and they looked down on me so much? The more Zhang Yue thought about it, the more angry she became, but she still decided to flee away first.

After escaping from that gloomy room, Zhang Yue looked back and found that he was not actually caught anywhere else, but still in the place where Lao Du raised strange animals. It's just that now he can't go back to the Jinyin Mansion store, nor can he ask Wan Qi, the braggart who deceived him, for help, they are most likely in the same group.

There wasn't even a place to hide. Looking back now, the residents of this Yi County, and even the officials of the government are too abnormal, and then contact Lao Du They threw the dead strange animals into the source of drinking water for the residents - Liushui (recorded in the "Haishan Lu", Zhang Yue vaguely remembers that the name of this river is Liushui), and these people also eat the meat of strange animals as a daily diet, this crazy Yixian people, probably because they drank the polluted Liushui for several months, and finally became like this.

The reason why the collector profession is looked down upon is because they take humans too lightly, and when it is clear that humans are the primates of all things, collectors try to put humans on an equal footing with other living beings. But these ordinary people who looked down on collectors were afraid of the mountain gods, and they didn't dare to take a breath during the sacrifice. This is probably the so-called inferior root nature. I don't know what human beings look like in the eyes of strange animals.

Collar Hu can cure madness, but in the eyes of madmen, probably only other madmen can be considered ordinary people.
