Chapter 112: Overboard
As soon as Fan Bei had this thought, he saw He Gui walking towards him.
"Boss He, is there something wrong?" He asked.
"Oh, it's nothing, I've been gone for the past two days, and seeing that Mr. Fan has been very relaxed, it really makes the old man envious, young is good." He Gui sighed.
Of course, Fan Bei will not work hard, he has never stopped exercising, his muscles are comparable to those of professional athletes, plus he also has the ability to "restore energy" and "fog armor", walking these rugged mountain roads, it is impossible to say that he is walking flat, but there will not be many obstacles.
He just smiled: "Where, Boss He also looks at ease, and he is really immortal." ”
"It's still not as good as you young people, Mr. Fan is very good, work hard to train yourself while you're young, you can't be afraid of hardship, otherwise at my age, there's no point in wanting to endure hardships now." He Gui said pointedly.
"Boss He taught me a lesson." Fan Bei nodded.
"Just now they found a clump of honeysuckle in front of them, this is a good thing, even the city lord-level figures, you have to look at it. It's a pity that I'm not alone after all, and I have to think about so many people. Otherwise, if I am 30 years younger, I will definitely take some risks to pick it up," He Gui looked sorry again, "These days, I don't want to take risks, I can't get all kinds of materials, how can I cultivate quickly?" By meditating on your own, you can cultivate silver and gold in the Year of the Monkey. ”
Fan Bei nodded yes, in fact, he sneered in his heart, I believe you are a ghost, the bad old man is really bad.
Lin Zhongshi said that there would be danger on the road, and he was not allowed to covet strange things in the wild, but he came to trick himself into taking risks to pick.
The other party is an old man in the end, and he is several grades higher than Lin Qing's direct means of using the situation to suppress people.
It's just that everyone has no grudges and no hatred, why does the other party calculate themselves like this?
didn't wait for him to think clearly, after finishing speaking, He Gui left slowly with his hands behind his back.
Fan Bei sat down to rest, staring at the back of the other party leaving, thoughtfully.
He Gui had just walked a few dozen steps, and suddenly stumbled under his feet, stumbling a few times in the sand and gravel, and then there were more than a dozen vines crawling on the sand, rolling the other party and dragging them towards the river dozens of meters away!
"Help me!" He Gui immediately shouted.
A thin layer of black armor appeared on his body, but this did not hinder the vines in the slightest, and the whole person still fell to the ground, being dragged away by the vines.
Above his hands, two claws appeared, clutching a piece of sand.
However, the sand stone was pushed open by countless weeds, so that he had nowhere to borrow, and the whole person was like an ant falling into a sand pit, picking up a piece of sand.
He was quickly pulled closer to the river.
At this time, someone had already reacted, and many people in the oil river caravan drew their machetes and rushed over in a few steps, about to slash those vines.
It's just that they completely underestimate their opponents, the riverside is overgrown with weeds and bushes, and on the banks of the river where no one has passed for decades, one can imagine how many plants are growing wildly.
These people who tried to rescue them were immediately bound by the seemingly harmless weeds, which grew wildly and did not allow the rescuers to come close.
"President Lin, Mr. Fan, help!" He Gui panicked, he was now only a few meters away from the river.
Lin Zhongshi reacted extremely quickly, and he jumped a few times, avoiding the weeds on the ground, in a vain attempt to approach from the air.
However, before he could fall, countless blades of grass rose into the air, blocking his vision and entangling him.
"Get out of here!" He shuddered, and a gray-green armor flashed around him, blocking the blades of grass.
However, it was already late at this time, and the incident happened suddenly, just at the foot, dozens of meters, it seemed to be far away from the river, but under the vigorous pull of the sand vine, coupled with the cooperation of the weeds on the ground, He Gui had been pulled into the river, and the sound of "poof" sounded.
"Damn!" Lin Zhongshi finally got rid of the entanglement and hurried to the river.
I saw a whirlpool appear on the surface of the river, then a string of bubbles, and finally nothing could be seen.
Human life is too fragile!
What bronze and silver, in front of these strange things, are a pile of scrap iron!
This thought came to the minds of the people, and one by one they panicked away from the seemingly safe river.
Lin Zhongshi was helpless, it was impossible for him to go into the water to save people, it was simply looking for death. In the water, a bunch of aquatic plants can easily kill a person.
"All backwards!" He had to follow the others away from the river, until he retreated to the hillside by the river.
Thirty or so people left in a hurry, including the people of the oil river caravan, and none of them brought up the matter of salvaging their boss.
Fan Bei was not surprised, he knew from the two days of marching chats that He Gui was nominally the owner of the caravan, but in fact he was just an agent. The real owner is the lord of Oil River City, and all the caravans under the name "Oil River" belong to him, and the other party is just the role of a professional manager.
When everyone had entered the hillside with dense bushes, they stopped and stared at the river in the distance.
The surface of the river that seemed to flow quietly became an abyss at this time in their eyes.
"President Lin, you have to give us an explanation!" He Xing, He Gui's henchman, suddenly shouted in the crowd at this time.
"You chose the place of travel, and our boss did what you ordered, and he didn't take any risks, how could something suddenly happen? And if something happens, you didn't save anyone! ”
He screamed hoarsely, lest no one else could hear him.
Fan Bei understands the other party's thoughts very well, this is to take advantage of the fact that the incident has just happened, quickly determine the responsibility, and save himself from being angry after going back.
Lin Zhongshi's face was gloomy, he had calculated the danger on the way, but this time, the incident was too sudden, and he didn't sense any signs of evil alienation in those vines and grasses.
He didn't answer He Xing's question, but looked at the surrounding bushes and grass, and for a while, although the sky was clear, he still felt an eerie horror inexplicably.
At this time, a rough-faced man was dissatisfied with He Xing: "What are you calling? It's the end of the world! Anything can happen, otherwise you wouldn't have come to hire us, everyone has his own life, his own life is not good, those strange things only pull him alone, who can blame him? ”
He Xing exhaled fiercely, just now he was in a hurry, but now he was a little calmer, he only felt dizzy for a while, and he was a little overwhelmed.
According to the situation at that time, the boss was not in danger, nor did he provoke anyone, so why did he become the target of attack?
His eyes suddenly looked at Fan Bei, the boss only appeared after talking to this person, plus he knew that He Gui had thought about the other party's dog, wasn't that discussion heard by the other party?
But he didn't say it, he just wrote it down.
He can't act without permission, the scene just now happened in broad daylight, there is no evidence, how can he identify the other party?
The other party seems to be alone, but don't forget, the Stubborn Stone Chamber of Commerce is on other people's territory and has a great friendship with them.
Now it is the first thing to complete the city lord's orders, He Gui is dead, and he must continue to complete the task, otherwise, the end will not be much better than He Gui.
The boss will not care about the process, only the result.
So he forbeared: "I'm sorry, President Lin, the incident happened suddenly, brother, I really can't control my emotions, please forgive me." ”
Lin Zhongshi sighed and said: "I understand Brother He Xing's feelings, this matter is indeed beyond my strength, I will return part of the escort fee." We have to be more careful about the way forward. Now that I think about it, it is likely that Boss He revealed the intention of picking those honeysuckles at that time, which angered the local river monster grass spirit. ”
"Alas, I think so too, it seems that the things in this field really can't be touched casually." He Xing had a plan in his heart, and only echoed verbally.
Then, everyone did not dare to stop and rest, and hurriedly left this dangerous place.
