Chapter 45 Ashore

Although it was already spring, the wind was still cold at night, Jiang Banxia yawned a few times, squinting at the brightly lit shores of the river.

"Let's go in and sit." Lu Yun hugged his arms and said, "It's cold outside." ”

Jiang Banxia sat at the stern of the boat, she shrunk into her robe and shook her head: "I won't go in if I'm wet, help me get some more soju." ”

Seeing that he couldn't move this cousin, Lu Yun shook his head and went into the tent to find soju.

This is an ordinary fishing canoe, and the mouth of the canopy is also hung with a cotton curtain for winter shelter, which is so dirty that it is no longer visible, and it is still shining in the faint candlelight.

"I'll drink some too." Wei Liao came out with three broken bowls and beckoned Lu Yun to drink together.

The night breeze drilled into his neck along the collar, and Wei Liao rubbed his hands: "Xie Huanas is so drunk that he doesn't know who he is, I don't know if he threw him into the lake." ”

After saying this, he wondered again: "What kind of immortal has my Wei Liao provoked recently?" He sent a killer to kill me. ”

Jiang Banxia took a sip of wine, and she took out a tooth tag and threw it directly on Wei Liao: "This is from those flower girls." ”

There was a fire mark on the slap-sized tooth card, and the big Cao character was caught off guard and broke into Wei Liao's eyes, he looked at the words on the tooth card and was silent for a long time, and then threw the tooth card into the lake along the water.

The tooth card fell into the water with only a popping sound, and then there was no sound.

"Tonight is as if it had never happened." Wei Liao said in a deep voice: "Falling into the water is just an accident. ”

"Brother Wei, what happened tonight never happened, but they didn't." Jiang Banxia untied his robe and picked up the harpoon on the tent.

As she spoke, the boat sank suddenly, and then floated again.

There was one more person on board.

Wei Liao was shocked, and immediately his eyes met with Jiang Banxia, Jiang Banxia nodded slightly, and he pulled Lu Yun into the tent.

Knock knock, knock knock.

The sound of stepping barefoot on the board of the boat was getting closer and closer, and Jiang Banxia hid behind the cotton curtain and held his breath.

Suddenly, a pale arm reached into the cotton curtain and grabbed at the place where Jiang Banxia was hiding.

She immediately used her harpoon to cross it, and she knocked the person out with force under her feet.

Through the dim lights, Jiang Banxia saw clearly what the person who attacked the boat looked like, the person who came was thin, and only the ribs were visible on the upper body, and only a red sweat towel was wrapped around his waist.

The man raised his eyes to look at Jiang Banxia, pulled out the short knife inserted in the back of the captain's head, and brought out a piece of red and white, splashing on the board of the boat, he let go, and the corpse of the captain's body hung on the edge of the boat, revealing half of his dead face.

There was no trace of temperature in his eyes, and he grabbed the short knife and stabbed it into Jiang Banxia's body, and the speed was extremely fast, and the short knife was almost inserted into the cabin against Jiang Banxia's face.

Jiang Banxia took the opportunity to turn into the lake, and the man also followed closely into the water, running very fast, and soon caught up with the person in the water, dragging for a while, suddenly, he stopped moving.

Lift the person in the water, and when you look closer, it is actually a dress!

At this time, Jiang Banxia had already gone around behind the man, and directly locked his neck with brute force, the man suddenly stabbed with his backhand, and the short knife slashed next to Jiang Banxia's abdomen, although it did not cause substantial damage, but it also came out of blood, Jiang Banxia leaned back violently, and the whole person sank into the water, revealing the person's chest and abdomen.

Wei Liao, who had been standing at the bow of the boat for a long time, raised his harpoon and stabbed it down.

In the dim light, there was a ripple, and the surface of the lake was a dark cloud that gradually spread, and the strong smell of blood fluttered twice with the fierce spray and then returned to calm.

With a bang, Jiang Banxia surfaced and raised a red sweat towel to signal Wei Liao to be tied to the bow of the boat, and she climbed onto the edge of the boat with both hands and jumped onto the boat one by one.

Jiang Banxia picked up the robe that had been thrown on the ground before and wrapped herself tightly again, she said, "We have to hurry up and go ashore, I'm afraid there will be a batch later." ”

Wei Liao scolded his mother, and immediately picked up the bamboo pole of the captain and began to support the boat.

Lu Yun, who was hiding in the cabin to take care of Xie Fei, poked out his head, he looked at the brightly lit shores, and for the first time felt that reading was useless.

On the other side, the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division looked for people on the lake on small boats, but they fished up one after another all the headless corpses, and they fished out four or five at a time, which became more and more terrifying.

"You said there shouldn't be any monsters in this lake." The pawn of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who fished out the corpse whispered: "The kind that specializes in eating human heads?" ”

"I think it's like a human did it."

"If it was done by a human being, the murder would not leave a whole corpse... That's a lot of hatred. ”

"Ahem..."The pawn who fished out the corpse suddenly coughed, and immediately stood up straight and clenched his fists: "Command your lord." ”

Fan Ji'an, the commander of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, saw that these soldiers were lazy, and he said sharply: "If you have time to be lazy, don't go out and find someone!" ”

"Yes, Commander." The soldiers scattered in a puff of smoke.

Fan Ji'an frowned, why did the painting boat that the little group of kings ride sink in? How did he report this, and the old county king didn't eat him.

Now that so many headless corpses have been fished out of the lake, thinking about it like this, Fan Ji'an's heart is uneasy, could something really happen?

Just when Fan Jian was at a loss, the people under his command suddenly came to report: "My lord! Someone has found it!"

"Where?" Fan Ji'an couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart.

"It's on the canopy boat ahead!"

...

Wei Liao propped the boat to the shore, and he looked at the people who were rushing to this side: "Why do you say that the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are in such a hurry to find us?" ”

"I don't know." Lu Yun shook his head, the appearance of the people from the Five Cities Terraching Division was too abrupt.

"Little Brother Jiang, what do you think?" Wei Liao turned his gaze to Jiang Banxia.

"I'll talk about it when the people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division come." Jiang Banxia replied: "The most important thing at present is how to get this case under Jinyiwei. ”

"You and I went together." Wei Liao clapped his hands and said: "Only when I am under my own hands can I feel at ease." ”

Jiang Banxia and a few people thought that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were just people from below, and the people who didn't come were actually the commander Fan Ji'an!

Fan Ji'an first bowed to Xie Fei and said, "Little County King." ”

Xie Xuan, who was being held by Lu Yun, heard the sound and opened his eyes in a daze: "Fan... Fan-sama? ”

Wei Liao on the side immediately greeted him, "The little king is drunk, please forgive Master Fan." ”

Fan Ji'an knew Wei Liao, and he said, "It's okay, as long as you're okay." ”

Wei Liao immediately said gloomily: "Who knows what happened to the painting boat, it sank when it reached the middle of the lake." ”

"I also heard from the people under my command that the painting boat had sunk, so I hurried here." Fan Ji'an also looked incredulous.

Judging by Fan Jian's performance, he shouldn't have known that someone was going to kill Wei Liao.

Jiang Banxia immediately arched his hand and said, "Command, my lord." ”

Only then did Fan Ji'an notice Jiang Banxia who was standing behind Wei Liao and Lu Yun, and saw him untie the red sweat towel tied to the bow of the boat, and suddenly lifted it up from the lake.

Jiang Banxia forcefully threw the corpse tied to the sweat towel to the shore.

"Thisβ€”" Fan Ji'an's hand curling his beard froze.

Wei Liao rushed: "This is the thief who scuttled the ship." ”

"Just one?"

"Of course." Wei Liao pointed to the bow of the boat.

When Jiang Banxia heard this, she took off the silver hook hanging on the bow of the boat, and there was a large lump hanging under the silver hook, which could not be seen clearly from a distance, so she dragged the string of things to Fan Ji'an.

"These are also thieves who scuttle boats." Wei Liao raised his voice and said, "But it has already been corrected on the spot." ”

Fan Jian asked his subordinates to bring the corner lamp closer, and in the ample light, the terrifying scene appeared in front of his eyes.

That lump of stuff is all human heads knotted together with hair! The swelling white face is dead with its eyes open!
