Chapter 32: The Big Footprint
Everyone was nervous and went back to Liu's house early. That night, no one slept at all.
Uncle Chen and I stayed at the door, and in the middle of the night, the sound of water waves came from the river.
There seems to be a flood in the river, but in this case. No one dared to take a look.
Even more terrifying was the creepy cry coming from the river. It was as if something had just woken up from its dormant and was screaming happily.
Uncle Chen told me that he had heard this kind of cry before his grandfather's accident.
The villagers present were all trembling, especially the Liu family, who were scared half to death.
They also regretted it, they shouldn't have listened to Xin Hongyuan's words in the first place, but they got into such a big trouble.
But regret is useless, and the villagers hate them even more.
The night passed peacefully. After dawn, everyone walked towards the outside of the village.
Everyone was surprised to find that there were many strange footprints on the dirt road outside the village. The footprints are two and a half the size of a normal person's footprints, and are webbed in the center of the toes.
Even the oldest man in the village had never seen such strange footprints.
What's even more incredible is that next to the footprints, there are still traces of two chains.
The chains were arm-thick, and something seemed to have broken free and crawled out of the river.
It just wandered back and forth at the entrance of the village, and did not go to the village, which also allowed everyone to escape.
But everyone knows that this kind of good luck will definitely not come again tonight. The faint-hearted people went straight back to the village.
Uncle Chen and Cao Xi and I went to the embankment of the Liao River, and the Liao River rose a lot.
There is more water in the river than when the Liu family killed the red carp, and it looks like it is about to cross the embankment.
Some of the pillars had been submerged by the river, but they could still be seen to be covered with leeches. More leeches were crawling towards another stone pillar.
I turned my head to look at Cao Xi who was standing beside me, she also realized that the situation was very serious, and her expression was extremely solemn.
I told her, "It's none of your business, you better get out of the village." No one knows what terrible things will happen. ”
Cao Xi bit his lip and said, "If it were before, I would definitely leave." But not now, because you are my people. I must stay and face it with you. ”
I had heard Cao Xi mention the matter of her clan before, and the reason why she came to the village was to investigate the shipwreck.
The baby who knew I was the one who survived, of course, took me as one of his own.
It was only around noon that we came down the embankment, intending to go back and get the villagers ready.
I'm really afraid that with my own ability, I won't be able to protect so many villagers. If something happens to them, I'll be dead for the rest of my life.
But we had just arrived in the village, and suddenly a large line of black cars drove in from outside the village. There were twenty or thirty of them, and the pomp was very grand.
Because the village is very remote, not to mention this kind of high-end car, even ordinary cars rarely come.
The villagers all looked at the cars with strange eyes.
The situation in the village is so critical, outsiders have come, and they have simply come to die.
Uncle Chen, I and Cao Xi stood in front of the crowd, and the Liu family also came over.
Liu Dehai and Liu Yuanhui stood beside us.
As the doors of the car were pushed open, dozens of men in black shirts got out of the car.
They are all strong and strong, and even their height is almost the same.
They walked neatly to the car in the center, then bowed to the side.
The man in front reached out and pulled the door open, and a man in his thirties got out of the car.
His expression was very indifferent and he glanced at the people present.
This man is very strange, and everyone has never seen him.
At this moment, a familiar face walked down from the car behind, it was Xin Hongyuan!
Everyone recognized it at a glance, and one of Xin Hongyuan's sleeves was empty. That arm was torn off by death, and there was no way to connect it.
His face turned pale, as if his injuries were not completely healed.
As soon as I saw him, I had a very bad feeling.
Xin Hongyuan stood behind the man and whispered a few words in his ear.
The man bowed his mouth to the person behind him, and immediately a dozen big men walked towards him.
Seeing that the other party was not good, Liu Dehai said angrily, "Who are you?" What are you going to do? ”
At this time, the other villagers also gathered around me and protected me behind me.
The leader said in a cold voice, "Whoever dares to resist, kill them immediately!" ”
Hearing his command, the cold light flashed in the hands of several black-clothed people, and at the same time, some people exclaimed, and several deep wounds immediately appeared on their bodies.
Fortunately, the other party's subordinates showed mercy and did not take their lives.
Uncle Chen knew that the other party was prepared, and if this continued, the villagers would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Uncle Chen instructed everyone, "You all step aside, don't make unnecessary sacrifices." ”
Everyone looked at me with some concern, Uncle Chen's words were still very good, and they flashed aside angrily.
More than a dozen people from the other side came over and directly surrounded me, Uncle Chen, and Liu Dehai and his son.
Liu Dehai knew very well in his heart that the person who came must be from Tianyin.
He secretly regretted that he shouldn't have been in a relationship with them in the first place.
He asked coldly, "What are you going to do?" ”
The leader walked over unhurriedly, sneered and said, "If I guess correctly, you are the head of this village, named Liu Dehai, right?" Didn't you promise us a lot of benefits when we talked on the phone? Now that our people are seriously injured, you want to send us away like this, I'm afraid it's not that easy, right? ”
Hearing his words, Liu Dehai's head immediately sweated, but compared with before, he became much tougher. "Yes, I'm the head of the village." Tell me something, it's none of their business. ”
The man said disdainfully, "Although you are in charge, you can't be the master in this matter!" ”
He instructed his men, "Take them aside, show me, and don't let them escape." ”
"Yes!" Someone agreed, tied Liu Dehai and his son sturdily, and pulled them aside.
The man had already walked up to me and Uncle Chen, he looked at me, and then asked, "I heard that you were even sent dead." It seems that you must have used the power of the carp pill, right? ”
I nodded and asked, "What does this have to do with you?" ”
The man smiled and said, "Of course it has something to do with us." We can't use the power of the carp pill, but you can take us to the river. The carp pill covers a large area, and it should not be a problem to protect two people. ”
It turned out that Xin Hongyuan couldn't succeed last time, so he found a helper.
With so many people coming at once, they definitely won't come back empty-handed.
I stared at him coldly and didn't say a word.
The man said with a straight face, "It's up to you to choose this matter. ”
He turned his head and instructed his men, "Kill one person every minute until he agrees!" ”
Someone agreed, reached out and pulled a villager over, and the dagger stabbed him directly in the chest.
Before the man could figure out what was going on, he let out a scream and fell to the ground with his body twisted.
I didn't expect this guy to kill people like this without blinking.
The man brought in a young man again, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, named Shi Zhu, who usually had a good relationship with me.
The man held the dagger to his chest and stared at me without blinking.
The man at the head looked at me with a cold face and asked, "Do you agree or not?" ”
I knew very well in my heart that as long as he nodded, Shizhu's life would be lost immediately.
Although Shi Zhu was so frightened that his face was bloodless, he never said a word and did not beg the other party for mercy.
Dozens of specially trained subordinates came to Tianyin, and the villagers numbered no more than one hundred and eighty.
If you do it, not only will you not be able to take advantage of it at all, but you will definitely have a lot of casualties.
At this time, no one can help me, only I have to make up my own mind.
I gritted my teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you, take your people down." ”
A smile immediately appeared on the man's face and he said, "That's right. If you can cooperate with us, I will not treat you badly. ”
"Let him go." Hearing his words, his men let go and pushed the stone pillar into the crowd.
The leader smiled and stretched out his hand, intending to shake hands with me, and introduced himself, "My name is Zuo Liangtu, and I still have some status in the Tianyin Society. We should help each other in the future. ”
I stared at him angrily, and of course I wouldn't shake his hand. Zuo Liangtu retracted his hand a little embarrassed.
Chen Bo said, "You Tianyin will not go too far. Do you know who asked us to guard that Feng Shui Bureau? ”
In fact, I really don't know what kind of person or organization has such a great ability to keep the Shen family here for hundreds of years.
Now it is the first time I have heard Uncle Chen mention this matter.
Hearing his words, Zuo Liangtu hesitated, of course he knew that the things in the river eyes were so important, and definitely not everyone could move them.
He asked, "Who is it?" ”
Uncle Chen didn't speak, but stretched out his hand and patted his chest first. After that, he stretched out his thumb, index finger and middle finger, curled up his ring finger and little finger, and made a gesture towards Zuo Liangtu.
Seeing that gesture, the muscles on Zuo Liangtu's face twitched a few times. Obviously, he understood the meaning of Uncle Chen's gesture.
