Chapter 147: Bamboo Basket Fetching Water

>,!

Lu Jinping said: "As soon as I entered the cave, I found out that he was lying, and it was likely that there was a conspiracy, so I was already paying attention, and I left traces in my own way along the way." ∑, we walked behind, and you didn't pay attention, and these signs saved our lives. ”

Wang Shiduo opened his mouth and stammered for a long time, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Let's not talk about these things first, sir, can you show us that treasure first?" What kind of priceless treasure is it? Caused my father to stay in a fishing village for 20 years? Sir, you just open it up and let's see what it is, right? ”

Wang Shiduo and Jiang Xiaozhou were also anxious and asked to open it quickly.

Lu Jinping put the brocade box on the ground, and saw that it was not locked, there was only one snap button, and he opened the snap button with a click, and lifted the lid. There is no half look like a priceless treasure

And Zhang Yousheng also saw it, and couldn't help screaming, and said in horror: "How can this be? No, our treasure is as white and warm as jade, how can this be? Where's my treasure jade? ”

"Is the treasure you're talking about a piece of jade?"

Zhang Yousheng said anxiously: "Yes, the jade quality of this jade is very good, but it is different from ordinary jade, crystal clear, very warm in the hand, I don't know what the texture is, I guess it's jade, the dead general said, it is the treasure of their town, so we have only been guarding it for 20 years, how can it become a piece of coke?" ”

Lu Jinping carefully took out the stone from the box and put it in his hand, feeling a little soft. Looking left and right, he took out a dagger from the boot and cut it with a knife, and it was like cutting tofu, and a small piece was cut off. It's still scorched inside. He slashed several times in quick succession. I cut the blackened thing into several large pieces, but I didn't see a single piece of jade.

Zhang Yousheng's face was like ashes, and he was stunned, and muttered: "It's over, we, it took twenty years." If you kill three brothers, you will be killed, but is this what you are for? A useless rotten stone, how can it be? Impossible. ”

Lu Jinping patted the brocade box that had lost its luster and said, "There is evil in this cave, then nothing is impossible." It is likely that the evil spirits in the cave have destroyed this thing and turned it into worthless charcoal. ”

Lu Jinping's original speculation was that since there was carbon monoxide in the cave, there might be other gases, or a certain gas happened to have a chemical reaction with this strange treasure that resembled jade but did not look like jade. makes this treasure a worthless coke.

Hearing Lu Jinping's words, Zhang Yousheng, Wang Shiduo and others all felt that it made sense, it should be like this, and they couldn't help but go crazy in despair.

Lu Jinping looked at Zhang Yousheng and sneered: "You tried to murder Lord Ben, as well as a few of them, this crime is enough for you to cut off your head a few times." Whether you confess or not to the person who killed your brother will not affect your head. Still, I'm sure you'll be willing to tell us the truth. Because this should be a masterpiece of exquisite layout for you. It's a pity to meet me. What's more, you've been working for it for more than twenty years. Killed a few more lives and won more treasures, but turned into a piece of rotten charcoal, what else do you have to rely on? ”

Zhang Yousheng's face was like ashes, and after a moment, he nodded and said, "Yes, I have waited for twenty years in vain." In the end, the bamboo basket was empty. Okay, I said. - I thought that the lord's ability to solve the case was blown out by people, because I heard that the lord was a waste material in the past, and he had no ability, and he ruined a good family. That's why I proposed to come to the lord to solve this case, the purpose is to lure them into the trap, I didn't expect the lord to be so smart that he could see through my tricks. ”

"Twenty years ago, I was the last of us to go into the cave to bury the treasures that came to the island to bury them. When I went into the cave where Wang Shiduo's father died, I rested there for a while, and then I left, but when I left, I found that something was wrong with my body, I felt weak and dizzy, I guess I had encountered an evil spirit, I was very afraid, I got up and walked inside, walked out of the distance, and felt a sharp pain in my head as if it was about to explode, but I still insisted. ”

"I got to the place where I thought I could bury it, and after hiding the treasure, I rested for a long time, and then I went back when my body was almost recovered, and then I made a decision, I wanted to make sure that section of the road was really evil. So when I passed that part of the road, I stopped for a while, but the time was shorter than before, and then I hurried out, and I found once again that my body was soon weak, and my head was dizzy, and my head ached, and I was sure that there must be some evil in that place, so I thought of a way to swallow this treasure alone. ”

"In the past 20 years, I have lobbied them several times, hoping that they can take this treasure early, and I want to take them where to let them die of evil, but the boss is firmly opposed, and the other two are not very in favor of early, saying, if it is early, why hide the treasure? Can't take the risk, I can't help it. Because I didn't know where to go, and the four of us were watching each other so tightly that we couldn't get out of it. ”

"After twenty years, we came to the island. We did encounter wolves and other beasts, but we managed to avoid them. Finally came to this cave, we entered the cave, I took them to the place where there was evil to rest, I used the excuse of going to the toilet to have diarrhea, so I went back, I walked out of a certain way, I guess I left the evil place, just waiting there. Even though I had only been there for a short time, I still felt dizzy, weak, and had a sharp pain in my head as I had twenty years ago, and it was much worse than before. And this time I stayed for a shorter time than the previous time, and I felt that the evil was getting more and more powerful, and if I couldn't get this treasure this time, I was afraid that next time I wouldn't be able to cross this road. ”

"I believe that the three of them must have been killed by evil spirits, and when they die, I will go and get the treasure. After a while, the two of them came out and said that the boss was dead inside, that there was an evil in it, and that they wanted to run outside the cave, so we played together and walked outside the cave, but I took them to another cave. In this cave, I groped through almost all the passages when I buried the treasure. I went to another cave, which was much farther away, because I believed that evil spirits were more effective in caves, and might not work without the cave, so I wanted to delay my time in the cave as much as possible. ”

"Sure enough, halfway through the run, the third child fell and died. But although the second child stumbled but never died, I had to take him, when I was about to get to the entrance of the cave, I saw that he was not dead, I had to decide to start, because I was afraid that he would recover, I couldn't beat him, his martial arts were better than mine. So, I slashed his neck with a knife from behind. ”

"Wait!" Wang Shiduo interrupted him, "Didn't you say that you didn't bring any weapons because you were afraid of killing each other?" Where did you get the knife? ”

"I sharpened a blade and hid it in the sole of my shoe, and they didn't know it."

When Zhang Yousheng said this, Yunzi asked Lu Jinping curiously: "Brother, since it is an evil spirit, why did one die in the innermost part and run until halfway through, and the other did not die until the entrance of the cave?" ”

Lu Jinping asked Zhang Yousheng: "Is the third child who died halfway down the road not in good health?" ”

Zhang Yousheng nodded in surprise and said, "That's it, he has been sick all the time, and he hasn't taken a lot of medicine." ”

"That's right, the old and the sick are certainly not as resistant to evil spirits as the young."

What Lu Jinping said is evil is carbon monoxide. The amount of carbon monoxide poisoning varies according to the person's constitution and age, and in general, young adults are much more tolerant to carbon monoxide poisoning, almost twice as much as the elderly or sick and frail people. So their eldest was the oldest, and he died directly in the cave, and the third was a little stronger, and he didn't die until halfway through.

Yunzi felt that what Lu Jinping said made sense, nodded, and said to Zhang Yousheng, "You go on."

Zhang Yousheng continued: "I sneaked up with this blade and cut his neck, and the blood from his neck spurted out like a fountain. I was afraid that he would fight back when he was dying, so after cutting his neck, I immediately ran out of the cave, stayed outside the cave, and when he escaped, he attacked, and I waited for a long time and he didn't come out, and then I concluded that he was dead. Then I went in and looked, and he died in the cave where I had assassinated him. I threw the body out of the cave, and I was sure that the beasts of the mountain would help me to dispose of his bones. ”

"At that time, I wanted to go back immediately to get the treasure, but the two of them died in the cave, which made me feel very frightened, the evil monster is stronger than before, I don't know if I can get through this level, and at the same time, I have a new idea, that is, if I get the treasure, the descendants of the three of them will definitely come to me at the ends of the world, because before we left, we wrote to my family to tell the truth, including the situation of their respective residences. I don't want to run away from the world, I still want to return home. ”

"Besides, I'm old. When I get older, I always want to return to my roots, I want to go back to my hometown, live my rich life in my hometown with peace of mind, and glorify my ancestors. To achieve this, I can only kill their descendants, and only when they die, no one will come to me again. ”

So I told them where I went, and of course I was saying that they had met wild beasts on the island, and I didn't know where they had gone. Actually, I know they're all dead in the cave. I brought them, including the lord, just like the lord said just now, I wanted the evil in the cave to eat you, but I didn't expect to be seen through by Sizz, and that's the way it is.
