Chapter 22: The Man on His Back
"Knife man?" When I heard this unfamiliar name, I didn't have any concept in my mind, and I heard it for the first time in my life, but seeing the fat boy's frightened heart and Liu's appearance of kneeling and begging for mercy, I also felt a little uneasy in my heart, and stretched out my hand to pull my brother to leave.
My brother is bold, the more ordinary people are afraid of something, the more interested he is, seeing Liu Kuaikou scared like that, the whole person's curiosity came up, I had to see what was going on, I couldn't pull it on the side.
"If you don't go, I'll go!" The fat boy was in a hurry, and turned around to run as if he was about to be reincarnated, but at this moment, suddenly there was a "clanging" sound from the dark place, as if an iron tool collided, the sound was crisp and crisp, clean and neat, and came out of the dark corner, just one sound, like a temple bell echoing throughout the cave, causing a buzzing sound in the ears.
As the strange sound sounded, it was obvious that Liu Kuai's mouth nerves were tense, and he knelt on the ground trembling all over, blood and sweat mixed together, and there was indescribable fear in his eyes.
When I saw him like this, I began to wonder more and more, who is this credit knife man? Why is Liu Kuaikou afraid of being like this?
Just when he was confused, he heard a sudden "click" sound in the dark place, and a man dressed in black walked out slowly.
When I saw this man, I was shocked and puzzled to the extreme, he was wearing an old black mask on his face, this mask was so strange, hideous, at first glance, it looked like a demon, but I couldn't tell what material it was made of, it was very strange.
In addition, this person was wearing a pure black dress from top to bottom, and his appearance was very strange, a bit like the kind worn by people who practiced martial arts in ancient times, with a cross collar and wrist sleeves, and a long scarf like red satin tied around his waist, which contrasted sharply with the black clothes on his body.
And the most strange thing is that there is a thumb-thick rope tied to the red scarf around this person's waist, and a series of knives are hung from top to bottom on the rope!
This knife is not the same size as a kitchen knife, but all are slender scimitars, the length and width are different, some are like daggers, some are wider and longer, but in general they are not as big as kitchen knives, each knife is wrapped in white cloth, only a little part of the tip of the knife is exposed, between walking, the rope shakes lightly, the tips of the knives collide with each other, and the sound of "bell" is constantly emitted.
Coming out of the darkness, the whole person looks like an ancient martial arts, with a mask on his face, and he can't see what he looks like, with a long red scarf floating around his waist, and his hands behind his back, he looks very calm, and he doesn't know that he thinks it's a character who jumped out of a novel.
My brother and I were stunned when we saw this person, and my brother whispered, "Why is this person dressed so strangely, playing the board like a role-playing." ”
As soon as I heard this, I was also happy, and I couldn't help but tease my brother: "You stayed in the mountains for eight years before you came out, and you still know about role-playing?" ”
"Get out of the way." My brother glanced at me and said, "Staying in the mountains doesn't mean that the information is backward, understand, that white-haired old guy has changed his mobile phone three or four times a year." ”
As the two of us were talking, we heard a voice behind us, "When is it, you two are still in the mood to laugh, can't we leave this place and have a good chat?" ”
When I heard the sound, I turned my head to see that it was a fat boy, and exclaimed, "You didn't run by yourself?" ”
"Run, run, run! Come here, Fat Boy, let me ask you, what is the origin of this credit knife man? Why are you all so afraid of him? My brother grabbed the fat boy's foot and pulled him over in two or three clicks.
The fat boy struggled on the ground but my brother, and said angrily: "People don't know about the knife? Thanks to you two brothers, you are also a strange person! It's not as much as you know! ”
"If you talk nonsense, I'll throw you over!" My brother's threat frightened the fat boy's eyes, the beard on the side of his mouth trembled, and he hurriedly confessed: "Don't don't, I said I said, alas, the knife man, have you ever heard of a sentence, called 'a drop of blood on the tip of the knife, a hundred ghosts spring down the soul', it is their gang of credit knife people!" ”
When my brother and I heard this, we looked at each other and shook our heads in unison: "I haven't heard of this, what does it mean?" ”
With a hopeless expression of your brothers, the fat boy pointed at the man and whispered: "Look at his dress, black mask on his face, a red scarf around his waist, a string of knives with hemp rope, and a clank when he walks, this is the sign of a man with a knife on credit, I can tell you, don't mess with anyone in the future!" ”
"Why?" I hurriedly asked.
"What, why? Silly! The fat boy scolded me: "Why are you messing with them?" Tell you, there was a good brother before, and when I saw him, I knew that I was all hiding and walking, these people with credit knives were all stunned, killing people and ghosts without blinking, no one provoked them and killed you, and once you were targeted, you couldn't run away if you could chase you to the ends of the earth! ”
"Then what are they doing with so many knives? Is it used to kill? ”
"I don't know, but I heard my old good brother say that the uses of these knives are very strange, most of them are not used as weapons, but for others, as for why, I don't know, and it is said that among so many knives, only one is more special, and the tip of the knife with red blood can be used as a weapon, or how to say, 'A drop of blood on the tip of the knife, a hundred ghosts spring down the soul'!"
"It's kind of interesting." My brother touched his chin, stared at the knife man on the stone platform, his tone was obviously excited, the fat boy was next to him, he looked like he was afraid that my brother would make some mess, and kept urging: "I said two, or let's go, the knife man is here, there must be his purpose, and the rest doesn't care about us, let's leave quickly, leave this place, what if you are injured by mistake?" ”
As if he hadn't heard, my brother stared at the knife man and didn't move, and pushed the fat boy to the side, so angry that he jumped straight to his feet and wanted to bite my brother.
I still had doubts in my heart, so I continued to ask it: "Fat boy, you just said that they kill people and ghosts without blinking, what do you mean by killing ghosts?" ”
Originally, I was just curious to ask, but the fat boy was more dazed than me, and he was stunned by the question, and after a few seconds, he asked me: "Ghost... What is it? ”
As soon as I heard it, I was instantly laughed at by it, good guy, you said so much just now, it's all applying other people's words, I don't even know what a ghost is, I'm afraid you're not a salesman in the cat world, right?
I shook my head helplessly, thinking about how to make a cat know and understand, what humans think of ghosts, and thought for a moment and said: "Ghosts, in fact, they are very similar to us, but it is a kind of invisible and intangible thing, it looks very strange, not as easy to contact as we people, to put it bluntly, you look at me, I can talk to you, but ghosts don't, I still have to eat and sleep, ghosts don't need to, anyway, they are different from people, understand?" ”
The fat boy opened his mouth, with an expression that seemed to understand or not, his big eyes blinked, and he suddenly wondered: "Master seems to understand, you can't see it, right?" Can ghosts fly? ”
"This... I think so. "I was a little caught off guard by it, whether ghosts can fly, I really don't know, and there should be many kinds of ghosts, right?
Hearing this, the fat boy lowered his head thoughtfully and thought about it, looking up at me for a while, and then looking at the cave again, with a serious thinking on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
When I saw him like this, I thought it was interesting for a cat to think, so I asked him curiously, "What do you want?" ”
It glanced at me, its eyes suddenly became a little strange, and its tone became even more strange: "Ye is thinking, since you can't see ghosts, then there is a person on Liu Kuaikou's back who has been lying on his back for three days, have you seen it?" ”
The moment I heard this, my brain "buzzed" and it was directly short-circuited, just like a power outage, I stood in place, I couldn't understand what it meant at all, and I was directly stunned when I looked at the fat boy.
Even my brother was stupid when he heard this, and his eyes widened and he asked urgently, "What did you just say?" Where's someone on his back? As he spoke, he deliberately turned back to look at Liu Kuaikou.
The fat boy was also stunned when he saw the two of us, and exclaimed, "You two can't see it? The woman had been lying on his back for three days! I thought you were here together! ”
