Chapter 33: Alliance

The woods were quiet, and they seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeats, and all eyes were on the torturer, hoping that he would make a decision.

Yan Gang's hand has been holding on the wooden handle of the shovel, he is very worried that Bai Zhongzheng and Guo Shiji, who suddenly came out to help them, will suddenly attack them, as far as it is now, these two people have a certain strength and can help them, after all, so many corpses have been dug up, and the earth dragon poison has been discovered, maybe there will be some trouble in the future.

At the same time, Guo Hongkui, who was lurking in the distance and had been listening with his eyes closed, was also waiting.

Guo Shiqi stood there, in fact, his face was full of sweat, after all, it was the first time he had done such a thing as "undercover", and this time he followed Guo Hongkui out, which was also the first time he really saw the world, so he was very nervous, and at the same time he was also puzzled, why did he help them with torture? If you're worried about that White Shadow Killer, after making sure that what they're looking for now isn't Qimen, can't you just turn around and leave?

Only Bai Zhongzheng knew very well what Guo Hongkui wanted to do - there was a real clue to Qimen in his hands, and he would be able to find the location of Qimen in the near future, that is, in fact, Guo Hongkui himself wanted to find Qimen.

After a long time, the torture technique finally spoke: "If you want to stay, there is only one condition. ”

Before the torture technique could say the conditions, Bai Zhongzheng preemptively said: "You don't need to say it, my partner and I will definitely obey your orders and listen to your command." ”

Xingshu nodded: "Yes, there is only this one condition, if you don't agree, or pretend to agree, and turn back at a critical time, my friend and I will not be soft." As he spoke, he glanced at Yan Gang who was behind, and Yan Gang grinned at Bai Zhongzheng.

Bai Zhongzheng said: "No problem, but I have to explain that in the general direction, we listen to your orders and commands, but on some professional issues, you must listen to us." ”

Yan Gang frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

Bai Zhongzheng looked at the bones dug up on the ground: "Feng Shui acupuncture points, medical detoxification, these things, you don't understand, you can't make decisions on your own, it should be done by me and my partner, this is also for the good of everyone." ”

"Okay, no problem." Torture replied cheerfully, and after a pause, he added, "But I insist on knowing what you do......

Bai Zhongzheng was about to repeat his previous explanation, but Xingshu raised his hand to stop him from speaking: "It's not that you say it now, you can think about it, or you can make up a lie that convinces me, at least then, we will be much more transparent between us." ”

Bai Zhongzheng didn't speak, just looked up at the ice and said, "It's not early, should we continue to dig, or rest on the spot?" I definitely can't go up and set up a tent, the temperature here is very pleasant. ”

Xingshu turned around and said: "You take me and Yan Gang to continue digging, and your partner takes Tian Lianfeng and Miss He to set up a tent and prepare some hot food and drinks, he knows how to heal, of course he knows how to get food to be clean." ”

Then, according to the arrangement of the criminal technique, the two groups of people acted separately to carry out the excavation and construction work. Guo Hongkui in the shadows has been paying attention to their surroundings, worried that the White Shadow Killer will suddenly attack, but the strange thing is that the killer seems to have left, and there is no breath of him around.

When night falls, the temperature on the ice plummets to more than minus 30 degrees Celsius, and the bottom of the ice drops several degrees Celsius, but it remains around 10 degrees Celsius. For the torture arts and the others, this temperature is already very warm.

Before Tian Lianfeng started the fire, he dug a one-meter-deep pit in the soft soil, and opened a ditch on the side of the pit for air circulation, and then lit a fire in the deep ditch, he was worried that igniting a fire directly on the surface of the soft soil would melt the ice overhead.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Xingshu, Yan Gang and Bai Zhongzheng returned from a distance, and the tents on this side were almost set up, but there were only three tents, and Xingshu was also stunned when he saw that there were only three tents, and subconsciously asked: "How do you sleep?" ”

Tian Lianfeng looked at Yan Gang and said, "I am with the 'King of Hades', Bai Zhongzheng and Guo Shi...... Ten ......"

"Guo Shiji!" Guo Shiqi repeated his name.

"Bai Zhongzheng and Guo Shizheng are on the top." After Tian Lianfeng finished speaking, he pointed to the last tent, but he didn't say anything for a long time, just looked at He Chenxue.

He Chenxue, who was still wearing sunglasses, said at this time: "I'll be with you." ”

After listening to He Chenxue's words, the torture technique was very surprised, and when he was about to say something, He Chenxue spoke first.

"Don't forget, we're husband and wife." He Chenxue said this lightly, and smiled at the torture technique.

Bai Zhongzheng didn't react, but Guo Shiji subconsciously glanced at Bai Zhongzheng, this action made the criminal art realize that the two people wearing masks knew a part of the details of themselves and He Chenxue, at least they knew that they were definitely not husband and wife, and at the same time, the criminal art didn't understand, at this time, why did He Chenxue continue to disguise?

Instant noodles, luncheon meat, canned soup, and instant rice were all for dinner, and everyone was already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and after Tian Lianfeng brought these things out, they were quickly swept away, and then the six of them fell into silence, no one spoke, but no one left the fire pit.

Xingshu picked up the empty canned luncheon meat box: "Do you know which country invented luncheon meat?" ”

Xingshu decided to break the silence in this way, and Yan Gang on one side drank hot coffee and said, "Americans, it should be the end of the 19th century, right?" ”

"Yes, the world's first real luncheon meat brand was HSH, called Hormel, but then Hormel failed miserably in the market competition and then changed its name to SPAM, which is Spam." Torture looked at the canned food box in his hand, "It's the thing we eat now called Shibang luncheon meat, the box has SPAM written in big yellow letters, and there is a small red letter on the lower right side that says Hormel, this thing was really famous in World War II, when the U.S. military thought that their biggest enemies were like this - bullets, venereal diseases, and luncheon meat!" ”

"Huh?" Tian Lianfeng was a little surprised, "Luncheon meat is the enemy?" ”

When Xingshu said this, everyone didn't understand why he said this, Bai Zhongzheng always felt that he had something to say, what he was talking about in the open, but what was he referring to in the dark?

"That's right, at that time, the U.S. government bought countless luncheon meat, because this kind of food is meat and can also provide high calories, and the biggest benefit is that it is easy to preserve, so it has become a good battlefield food, but the American soldiers eat this thing from morning to night, breakfast is fried luncheon meat, lunch roast luncheon meat, dinner is crushed corn luncheon meat, so they all feel disgusting, but the allies outside the U.S. army think that this kind of thing is simply a godsend food, that is, since then, the title of the young master soldier of the U.S. army has begun to spread." Xingshu took the canned food box and said with a smile, "At that time, I read the information, and the information recorded a true story, saying that when an American soldier looked at the luncheon meat on the plate and was disgusted, two British soldiers came over next to him, saw his appearance, and directly threw the luncheon meat on the ground, and then leaned over to pick up the luncheon meat full of dirt and chewed it in his mouth and then swallowed it, because there was no such thing as luncheon meat in the British army's food at that time, let alone the Soviet Union and China, which were also allies at that time. ”

Tian Lianfeng nodded: "This is a full man who doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, right?" ”

"Pretty much." Xingshu nodded and put down the canned box, "I think it should be that the British soldiers can't understand the American soldiers, and the American soldiers can't understand the British soldiers, after all, although everyone is in the same environment, but after all, it is not a country, and the way to solve some problems and the ultimate goal they want to achieve are also different." ”

At this time, even Tian Lianfeng understood that the torture technique had gone around in such a big circle, and he was still questioning what Bai Zhongzheng and Guo Shizheng were doing and what their purpose was, to put it bluntly, that is, our current purpose seems to be the same, and the situation we are facing is similar, but in fact? We don't know what our ultimate goal is, and if we don't be honest with each other, we will lose in the end.

"Lianfeng, pack up your things, I'm tired, go rest first." After the torture was finished, he looked at Bai Zhongzheng, who was still sitting there silent, "Mr. Bai, if there are really 111 corpses, then it should be completely dug up before twelve o'clock at noon tomorrow." ”

Bai Zhongzheng nodded silently, Xingshu smiled, turned around and entered the tent, He Chenxue also got up to say goodbye, and then the rest of the people sat there and looked at each other without saying anything, and after packing up their things to extinguish the flames, they all went back to the tent.

Lying in the sleeping bag, his eyes were not closed, he waited for He Chenxue to ask questions, and finally waited until the lights in the other two tents were extinguished, He Chenxue said in a very low voice: "Why? ”

"One more friend is better than one more enemy, and I don't think these two will harm us." After the torture technique was finished, he looked sideways at the tent location of Bai Zhongzheng and the two of them through the tent cloth, "They are coming for Qimen, this has nothing to do with Qimen, they should be very clear, so the ultimate goal of these two people, I judge, should be those clues in my hands, and the most important thing is that the people related to these clues are either related to my master or Tian Lianfeng, and I am the one who can maintain the connection between these two people." ”

He Chenxue heard this and said, "So, they only need to keep an eye on you, and the rest of the things will be easy to do?" But why don't they stare in the shadows, but come out? ”

"It should be related to that killer, and in addition, keeping a close distance from me will not make us too hostile to each other, which will be beneficial in the future, at least we can talk about it first, and not meet each other." ”

He Chenxue let out a "hmm" and didn't say anything more.

Torture turned over and said, "I'm sleepy, I'll sleep first." ”

He Chenxue opened her eyes, looked at the top of the tent, and suddenly said after a few seconds: "Boss Criminal, let's talk about it, from now on, we are husband and wife, understand?" Eat, live and walk together, the kind of husband and wife who are inseparable, count you as a favor to me, if necessary, we can pick a good day to get a marriage certificate. ”

Xingshu opened his eyes suddenly, and looked sideways at He Chenxue, who was glaring at the boss: "Miss He, what do you mean?" You're a liar, aren't you? ”

He Chenxue said lightly: "Where is there anyone who slanders himself into it?" I'm begging you for help, lives are at stake, okay? ”

After He Chenxue finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the torture technique, the two looked at each other for a long time, and the punishment technique turned around and said: "I'll talk about the future later, sleep, good night." ”

"Good night." He Chenxue finished speaking but did not close his eyes.

In the tent on the left, Tian Lianfeng was already drowsy, because it was time for him to sleep, this person who had never stayed up all night, after doing so much physical work during the day, was now so sleepy that his eyes couldn't close, but he was very conflicted now, on the one hand, he was worried about the safety of his father Tian Ke, but he tried his best to resolve this worry, and he was able to resolve it because of the reliable brother of torture by his side, and on the other hand, the adventurous life he dreamed of was finally lived, although it was dangerous, But it's very enjoyable.

Tian Lianfeng was rummaging in his sleeping bag, and Yan Gang next to him whispered, "Why are you squirming around like a worm?" You're not tired, are you? Don't get tired you keep going out and digging! ”

"No, I'm ......" Tian Lianfeng opened his eyes and said, "Forget it, there are some things that you can't understand, but I think that those two guys, called Bai Zhongzheng and Guo Shi, don't look like good people, and I don't understand why the torture technique promised their help." ”

Yan Gang also opened his eyes: "It's Guo Shiji, there is a problem with the way these two people came, but it shouldn't harm us, if you want to harm us, the person called Guo Shiji doesn't need to tell us about the dragon poison at all, in fact, today we are really hanging by a thread, the world is big, there are no surprises, interlaced like a mountain, there are some things we can't touch, if we don't rely on them, maybe we can only turn around and go back tomorrow." ”

Tian Lianfeng got up and said, "You mean, the torture technique is using them?" ”

Yan Gang looked at him: "Let's use each other, they also use us, but what the ultimate goal is, I don't know, the torture should know, don't talk about it, I'm too tired, let's sleep." ”

Tian Lianfeng nodded and lay down, originally wanting to analyze and analyze again, but his eyes really couldn't be opened, and he fell asleep in a few seconds.

"They should all be asleep." In the tent on the far right, Guo Shiji, who had not slept all the time, said in a low voice, and at the same time looked at Bai Zhongzheng, who had been squatting at the entrance of the tent, closing his eyes and paying attention to the movement outside.

Bai Zhongzheng nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Guo Shizhen moved to Bai Zhongzheng's position, sat there cross-legged and said, "What does Kui Ye mean......"

"I understand." Bai Zhongzheng immediately said, "His old man sees far and thinks far. ”

Guo Shiqi nodded, but thought in his heart: You kid is really good at patting sycophants, shooting in front of you and shooting on your back, no wonder Kui Ye likes you. Guo Shiji hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Really help?" ”

Bai Zhongzheng nodded.

Guo Shiji asked again: "Really help?" ”

Bai Zhongzheng nodded.

Guo Shiqi also nodded: "Now it's really to help Zhenxingang, and when they find the real Qimen and want to fight the idea of Qimen, let's start?" ”

Bai Zhongzheng turned his head to look at Guo Shiji, and then said, "Almost, that's what it means." ”

Guo Shiji took a deep breath: "It seems that the secret here is not just as simple as termite nests, it is estimated that it is ......."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Zhongzheng interrupted him: "You are also tired during the day, go rest, I will be on duty all night, and I will call you again in the second half of the night." ”

Guo Shizhen nodded and moved back, got into the sleeping bag, and glanced at Bai Zhongzheng, who was still squatting at the mouth of the tent with an expressionless face, shook his head slightly, and fell asleep with a yawn.

There was a special silence under the ice in the middle of the night, and the only sound was the "whirring" sound of the wind blowing through the ice hole dug by the torturers and others, and other than that, there was no sound at all, and it was very quiet. Under the trees in the distance, Guo Hongkui, who closed his eyes but maintained twelve points of vigilance, scattered some chaff around, his ears were very smart, even if the claws of rats landed on these chaffs, he could hear them, let alone people.

He speculated that if Bai Ying wanted to do something, he would definitely choose to wait about an hour for everyone to enter the tent, because the fatigue of the day made this group of people unable to support an hour even if they were vigilant, and once this time period passed, people would enter a deep sleep, and if it was Guo Hongkui himself, he would choose to do it at this time, because even if there was a movement, untrained people would not wake up easily, and even if they woke up, their brain reactions would not be as fast as when they were awake, and they would be much sluggish.

However, the White Shadow didn't move, as if he had left the area at all.

Guo Hongkui put the small bagpipe on his wrist to his mouth and blew a strange melody, like the sound of the wind. This voice sounded like an ordinary rumor, only Bai Zhongzheng, who was squatting at the entrance of the tent, understood what Guo Hongkui meant, he wanted to rest for a while, let Bai Zhongzheng keep an eye on it for a long time, and after two hours, he would wake up and be on duty again, and then notify Bai Zhongzheng to rest.

When Bai Zhongzheng heard this voice, he took out a piece of special mint grass and put it in his mouth, maintaining his consciousness, and at the same time turned his head to look at the sleeping Guo Shiji. No matter how Guo Hongkui praises himself on weekdays, Bai Zhongzheng is also very clear that in Guo Hongkui's eyes, the most important thing is Guo Shiji, the real descendant of the Guo family, not himself, so Guo Hongkui has never mentioned Guo Shiqi at all, and the meaning is also very clear, that is, let him have a good rest.

Time passed minute by minute, Bai Zhongzheng was also a little tired, but he was still holding on, there were less than twenty minutes left before Guo Hongkui woke up to replace him, and he could sleep after another twenty minutes, but just when Bai Zhongzheng put in a mint leaf to wake himself up, he accidentally found that a shadow floated past from outside the tent, although the speed was fast, but it was not so difficult to see, and the shadow was huge, almost one meter nine or two meters high, and it was also colorful with colorful colors.

Bai Zhongzheng tightened his mint leaves, carefully grasped the zipper of the tent, and slowly slid down, paying attention to the movement outside, and then saw a colorful shadow running from outside the tent, followed by the second regiment, the third regiment, the fourth regiment, and the fifth regiment......

Bai Zhongzheng completely opened the zipper, trying to see what was outside, and when he opened the zipper completely and looked out of the tent with his eyes, he clearly saw a white war horse covered in scale armor running in front of him, and immediately sat a samurai wearing armor, carrying a longbow, a long sword hanging from his waist, and holding a horse lance in one hand!

At that moment, Bai Zhongzheng was directly dumbfounded, as if he was frozen by some kind of spell, his eyes fluttered, and he watched the warrior run farther and farther on his war horse......
