Chapter 15: The Ancient Well of Devouring Man
Wan Yansu was a little surprised, and Leng Changxi said lightly: "The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, if the four princes want to be held by the eyes of the court for the rest of their lives, they can naturally accept and show mercy, but, what you need to know about the four princes is that in the end, when we find what we want, these people must also be dealt with. \"
Wan Yansu gritted his teeth and immediately ordered that this soldier be beheaded, because this soldier offended the side concubine of the fourth prince, so even if he was cut by a thousand knives, no one dared to say anything.
The village in the distance is full of sparks, but everyone's expressions are different, Yasu, who was frightened by the soldiers' aggression, nested in Wan Yansu's arms like a little rabbit, looking at Wan Yan Su's tender and comforting eyes, he also knew that Wan Yan Su had a lot of friendship with Yasu, and among the soldiers, Wan Yan Su's own personal soldiers and the cavalry transferred by the Great Khan of Beidi were naturally divided into two factions, because they had just been taught by Wan Yan Su, No matter how strong the soldiers were, they didn't dare to do anything to the five palace maids they gave birth to, and they inevitably showed a look of disappointment on their faces.
And Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi drank the water in the horn kettle with indifferent expressions, and after eating the scones, their stomachs were almost full.
Suddenly, a dark shadow ran from the far side of the village, small, thin, like the young man he had seen earlier at the entrance of the village, and when this man approached, sure enough, it was him, and he gasped: "Nobleman, it's not good, one of the two soldiers you sent fell into the well, and the other looked like crazy." ”
"Crazy?" Wan Yansu felt incredible, but it was only half a pillar of incense, why did the two people who were still normal become like this?
Leng Changxi was very calm: "Where is the crazy one now?" ”
The young man took a deep breath and said, "I was stopped by the first few powerful men in our village, anyway, he read a lot of strange things in his mouth, what kind of god punishment, nobleman, such people are too unlucky, please hurry up and take them away." ”
Wan Yansu was a little embarrassed, but Leng Changxi strode forward and said, "I'll go and have a look with you." ”
"I'll go too." Qin Yunuan followed behind Leng Changxi and took Leng Changxi's hand, the two of them had long felt that there was something wrong with this village, and it was good to go and take a look, not to mention that with Leng Changxi by his side to protect, nothing could happen.
Leng Changxi said to one of the soldiers, who was squatting next to him, looking extremely inconspicuous: "Eminem, you go too;
。 The soldier raised his head slowly, glanced at Leng Changxi, and his throat moved slightly, before he said, "Yes." ”
Obviously, this soldier named Eminem was naturally the only Maugham who Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi had found alive from the Savage Valley.
A group of seven people, in addition to Wan Yan Su, Leng Changxi, Qin Yunuan and Maugham, Wan Yan Su also brought three soldiers with the strongest martial arts and the strongest body to protect them, and only then did they pass by the two stone tablets at the entrance of the village they saw before, and a yin wind blew out of the village, making people tremble.
And next to a well in the middle of the village, the soldier who had drowned in the well had been fished out and placed on a stone slab next to the well, his wet clothes still dripping with water, and the residents gathered around to watch the excitement.
One of them, a man in his thirties, sighed: "Being drowned on the water-starved Gobi Desert can be regarded as a luxury way to die." ”
"Extravagance or not, I only knew, I only knew, after examining his wounds." Leng Changxi's sudden sentence disturbed the interest of the people present in watching the excitement.
There were even some old men who were very angry and said to the young people who brought them over: "Why did you bring outsiders into the village, they originally came to rob us of water, but now that people are dead, who knows if they will find trouble with us, there are so many of them, all of them have knives, what is the difference between them and bandits." ”
Leng Changxi tilted his head and said, "Old man, if we want to occupy this village, why wait until the evening, you are too worried." ”
The old man turned his head, still stubbornly telling the people around him how dangerous Leng Changxi's gang was.
"You don't know, twenty years ago, there was such a group of people who brought all kinds of strange things into the village, they occupied the village as a base, and sent things to the Savage Valley in a steady stream, but many people never came out again, you are young, you don't remember the events of the year, but I do."
"Alright, Grandpa Tamu, you're old, let's go back and rest quickly."
"Bah, every time I say that you don't believe it, one day, you will pay for your carelessness, and when the time comes, the fire will burn you and burn you."
"Hurry up, someone will bring the grandfather of the Tamu family back."
Leng Changxi calmly tore open the armor outside the drowned soldier in such a noisy environment, which was lined with crimson velvet, and there was nothing unusual about it, but the smell of rust in the air attracted Qin Yunuan's attention, she squatted down, was level with Leng Changxi, and whispered: "It's the smell of blood." ”
That's right, it's a lot of bleeding, Leng Changxi tore open the soldier's clothes, and sure enough, he saw that several large holes had been stabbed out of the soldier's sturdy waist and chest, and the largest blood hole was almost as thick as two fingers, but the blood clot of the wound had already coagulated, and if you touched it with your hand, you would find that the wound was a little colder than the other parts of the soldier's body.
"He didn't drown." Leng Changxi immediately decided: "He was stabbed to death." Leng Changxi raised his eyes and looked around, surrounded by villagers from the village, when they heard Leng Changxi say this, they all avoided Leng Changxi's glance with shrunken eyes, but one person stood up and said unwillingly: "What do you mean by this, is it possible that the people in our village did it?" You actually doubt us? ”
"I didn't doubt you" Leng Changxi retracted his gaze, and at the moment he glanced at it, he was already sure that the people present were fine, and their fear only came from worrying about this huge army, "I just suspect this well;
。 ”
After Leng Changxi finished speaking, he reflexively probed towards the wellhead, the wellhead was pitch black, and he couldn't see the bottom at a glance, only the faint water vapor floating in his face proved that there was water here, Leng Changxi frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and probed towards the well wall, sure enough, the more he went down the well wall, the wetter it became, and the smooth touch made him have some doubts in his heart.
"How many meters does this well have water?"
The young man who had been accompanying them said: "It's the dry season now, I'm afraid I'll get seven or eight meters." ”
"It's only seven or eight meters." After Leng Changxi finished speaking, he jumped down, such a narrow wellhead, Leng Changxi could go to the deepest part so easily almost in an instant, you know, although this wellhead is dry, but the wall of the well inside is slippery, even if it is a person who is good at light work, it is easy to miss, once he falls into the water, even if he can be rescued, there is only half a life left.
"Is he crazy?" The young man slammed into the well, but unfortunately the well was dark and dark, and he couldn't see anything, even Wan Yansu was a little surprised, he knew that Leng Changxi was very powerful, but he didn't expect him to be so reckless, only Qin Yunuan was very indifferent, she turned her head sideways to a woman next to her who looked very kind and said, "Please borrow me a blanket, I'm afraid that my father-in-law's clothes will be wet by the moisture in the well." ”
After a while, a dark purple figure jumped out of the wellhead and landed steadily, Qin Yunuan took a blanket to meet it, but found that there was no trace of a drop of water on Leng Changxi's body, and such a powerful light skill made everyone present stunned.
Leng Changxi looked around, and suddenly opened his tightly clenched fist, and countless Xiaoice scum fell out from the palm of his palm, each of which was only the size of an index finger, all of them were cone-shaped, although the pointed ends had been rounded by the well water, but it was cone-shaped that before this, these seemingly harmless cone-shaped ice slags were dangerous traps in this bottomless well.
Leng Changxi looked at the ice slag under his feet: "This is the real reason for killing him." ”
Although the temperature difference between day and night on the Gobi Desert is very large, it is not so cold that ice slag will rise in the well, and it is obvious that this ice slag was deliberately set up in the well for the purpose of harming the two people who came to get water, and as for the soldier who had gone crazy.
As he spoke, he was already escorted by two men from the village, who were tightly tied with a cowhide rope soaked in sesame oil, his expression was distracted, his eyes drifted, but he kept saying that there was a god descending from this well, and there would be evil retribution for those who wanted to force their way into the Valley of the Savages.
Wan Yansu looked at the soldier's crazy appearance, and only tilted his head, meaning to ask the guards around him to bring a bucket of cold water to the soldier and splash him awake, but before the guard's cold water came up, Leng Changxi slapped the crazy soldier's face.
The soldier was slammed into the well, and the water vapor from the wellhead was blowing on the side, and the soldier looked at Leng Changxi with some horror, but immediately returned to his state of turmoil.
Leng Changxi quickly pierced the soldier's trick, and he sneered: "Didn't you say that there are gods in this well? But when I dragged you to the mouth of the well, you just subconsciously looked at me angrily, without the slightest awe of the well, your heart is not crazy, what are you pretending? ”
As if he couldn't hear Leng Changxi's words, the soldier was still chattering and chanting his incantation-like curse, Qin Yunuan stepped forward, and his eyes tied with white veils looked a little weird in the dark night.
"Kill him." Qin Yunuan opened her mouth indifferently, as if in her opinion, killing a person was as easy as stepping on an ant, "Anyway, it's useless to keep it, since he doesn't want to say anything, there is no use value." ”
