Chapter 17: Murder and Goods
These skeletons made our spirits highly tense, and from time to time we stared around vigilantly.
At this moment, the sky is gradually getting darker and darker, and everyone's footsteps are becoming heavier and heavier, this time Ding Hua himself couldn't sink and began to shout for us to stop.
He also said that it was because he was afraid of encountering wild beasts at night, and for the sake of safety, he would wait until dawn tomorrow before setting off.
No one raised any objections, firstly, they were really too tired, and secondly, the death of Erzhu was like a dark cloud floating over our heads, making our steps heavy.
"Tian Qi, you and them set up the tent first, Lu Xing, you make a fire, take out the canned food, and heat it up a little." After Ding Hua finished speaking, he wrapped the tent on the side on the stump on the ground, and then dared to sit down.
"Ahem, ahem!" Lu Xing coughed slightly, his lips slightly pale.
I squatted down and helped him light a fire with the mouse and Zhuo Yifan.
It was difficult to burn the wood that had been soaked in the rain, it was just a strong smoke, Lu Xing didn't know if it was smoked by the smoke, and coughed desperately.
Zhuo Yifan also handed him a pot of water and asked him to drink some water to slow down.
But Ding Hua on the side, his eyes changed a little, looking at Lu Xing's pale face, he suddenly stood up, pointed at Lu Xing and shouted, "Were you also bitten by leeches?" ”
This sentence instantly attracted everyone's attention, and everyone stared at Lu Xing with their eyes.
Lu Xing himself was also frightened by this sentence, and stood up violently to explain.
"Don't move, you were so close to the second pillar before, I was negligent, Ah Xing, did you break it yourself or will we help you?" Ding Hua frowned and stared at Lu Xing.
"I really wasn't bitten by leeches, I just choked on smoke!" Lu Xing explained loudly.
However, his explanation obviously did not reassure Ding Hua, and the other two guys who Tian Qi had set up a tent also came over.
The barbarian was sitting far away from us, and when he saw that there was a commotion here, he walked over, he just glanced at Lu Xing's face, and said with certainty that Lu Xing was fine.
Because, the reproduction rate of these leeches is very fast, if Lu Xing is really bitten, it is impossible to have the spirit and strength to explain to us here for a long time.
"Hmph, what if he just got bitten? Erzhu also experienced several hours from the time he reacted to his death. Ding Hua said, motioning for Lu Xing to go farther.
"Come out!" And just when everyone was paying attention to Lu Xing, Xiao Lengyan suddenly shouted in the direction of the grass.
And, quickly raised his hand, and directly threw out the short sword in his sleeve.
I only heard a "poof" sound from the grass, as if something had been pierced.
"What kind of game is it?" The mouse pursed his lips, as if he had thought of the deliciousness of the thing.
"Bang bang."
There was silence in the grass for a while, and then there was a rustling sound that told us that the "thing" was trying to escape.
Xiao Lengyan didn't give the other party such a chance, he rushed forward with a brisk step, stretched out his hand and slipped out of the grass to pick up a "thing".
"Let go, let go, let go!"
The "thing" struggled desperately, like a ferocious little beast.
Xiao Leng's hand let go suddenly, and he was thrown to the ground hard.
He struggled to get up, but Xiao Lengyan stepped directly on his spine.
"Ahhh The other party screamed in pain.
"This is a wild man?" The mouse stared at the ground, and the man who was a little shabby and still struggling desperately asked.
"Have you ever seen a wild man wearing shoes and clothes? Definitely not. Zhuo Yifan replied.
I walked up to the man with a frown, frowned and asked, "Kuroki, didn't you run away, why are you here?" ”
Kuroki and his younger brother used a bad trick to escape from my hands, I thought he was out of the wild forest a long time ago, but I didn't expect that he was still here, and he was caught by Xiao Lengyan with a "narrow road".
Kuroki should have understood what I was saying, but at this moment, he stubbornly turned his head away and ignored me at all.
Seeing this, Xiao Lengyan increased the force on his feet again, and I heard the "gurgling" sound of the bones.
"Ahh
Kuroki said in broken Mandarin, "Put, put, me." ”
"You almost killed me, and I said you didn't mean to?" I looked at him a little angrily: "Are you hiding in the grass trying to harm us again?" ”
Kuroki's sudden appearance makes me think that things should not be simple.
"Find, find, fog, you guys catch him?" Kuroki raised his dark, bright eyes and stared at me.
He said word by word, word by word, I combined it for a long time, and finally figured out what he meant, what he meant was that we captured his younger brother Black Mist.
"Isn't your brother with you?" I stared at him.
The two of them disappeared from me together, and now they came to me to find my brother?
"Who is he?" Zhuo Yifan and they also came around.
I told Zhuo Yifan that this was the guide who led us in before, but he was about to exit halfway.
"Can you still find a guide? The people in this place are all older, and we don't understand a word of the local dialect. As soon as Zhuo Yifan heard that it was a guide, he asked Xiao Lengyan to be polite to Heimu, maybe he could choose a shortcut for us.
Xiao Lengyan didn't pay attention to Zhuo Yifan, still stepping on the black wood, and the barbarian walked over, squatted down and said something to the black wood in the local dialect.
Looking at the barbarian's expression, he was very serious, he should be scolding Kuroki,
Kuroki's gaze had been looking behind us as the brute spoke to him, and his expression calmed down again when he was sure his brother wasn't in our hands.
He didn't want to deal with the barbarian, so he just stood silently.
"Don't say yes?" Annoyed, the barbarian took out the pistol pinned to his waist and aimed it directly at Kuroki.
Kuroki didn't scare him, because he was sure that we wouldn't dare hurt it.
Xiao Leng didn't know what he thought, his eyes suddenly sank slightly, and he only said two words: "Eight eyes".
These two words made Kuroki's thin body tremble suddenly, and then immediately shook his head and replied to Xiao Leng in the local dialect.
Xiao Leng's expression was still very calm, and he began to talk to Kuroki, and finally Kuroki lowered his eyes, probably thinking about something.
Zhuo Yifan and they all looked at each other, they were the same as me, they didn't understand a word.
In the end, Kuroki nodded, looking at Xiao Lengyan, not knowing what he was confessing to Xiao Lengyan.
Because Xiao Lengyan has always been calm, it is difficult for us to see the waves in his eyes.
After Kuroki finished speaking, the barbarian frowned, and muttered, "It was my negligence." ”
"What the hell are you talking about?" Zhuo Yifan couldn't wait to ask.
"The two brothers, in fact, specially took the guests to the wild forest, and after they were killed, they stole all the guests' finances, relying on this, their brothers have already made a lot of money, and their people know that they do this conscience-losing thing, but this Black Wood brother is too barbaric and ruthless, and those people don't dare to expose them." The brute shook his head as he spoke.
He entered the village more than a week before us, and at that time, seeing that the brothers were dressed in tatters, and they looked simple, they didn't pay attention.
However, if the Kuroki brothers didn't know that there were other guests behind them, they might have already attacked the barbarians at that time.
"Eh, money is a good thing, but you can't be so ruthless, strip him naked and tie him to a book, let him taste the feeling of being bitten by leeches and eaten by those hyenas." The rat glanced at the bones on the side of the road, his expression distorted slightly.
Kuroki shook his head again and again, and even said that he could take all of us to the "sacrificial pool".
"Sacrificial Pool?" Xiao looked at him coldly.
Kuroki nodded, saying yes, the "backwater pool" in Xiao Lengyan's mouth was actually their sacrificial pool.
Because many people died there, and in the early years, their elders also took livestock to sacrifice there, so it was called the sacrificial pond.
The eight eyes in Kuroki's mouth are the "gods" who live in the sacrificial pool.
"What about the gods? If there really is a god, why don't you bless and bless you to make a fortune? Still need to kill people? The mouse said a word and slammed it over.
Kuroki's lips trembled several times, unable to say anything to refute.
"That's right, and even gods won't bless evildoers like you." After the barbarian finished speaking, he put down his bag, took out the handcuffs from the bag, and dragged Kuroki's hands behind his back, and directly handcuffed them.
"Eh, you're a good guy." The mouse looked at the dangling handcuffs and said.
The brute pulled Kuroki up from the ground, and Kuroki's stomach gurgled as he looked at the cans by our firewood pile, and swallowed vigorously.
It is estimated that in order to find his brother, he has not eaten for a long time.
However, everyone does not want to be merciful to this "captive", in the words of the mouse, this kid looks cunning, and when he is full, he may run faster, so it is better to be hungry.
I also agree with the mouse's statement, I underestimated him before, so it's better to be careful.
"Eat, say, don't be afraid, cockroach." Kuroki's stomach screamed so hard that he held back for a long time, and he couldn't hold back such a sentence.
"You mean, there's a way to deal with those leeches?" I was overjoyed and stared straight at Kuroki.
The eyes of the rest of the people also focused on Kuroki again.
If I had known that there was a way, the two pillars would not have died so tragically.
Kuroki pointed to his teeth, and as soon as I got out of the car, I had already noticed that their teeth were all black and shiny, and at that time I thought it was a local specialty.
After Kuroki pointed his fingers, we learned that those leeches had sneaked into the village a long time ago and killed many people.
Later, the people of their village found that the leeches were most afraid of a kind of leaves, so they began to eat that kind of leaves for many years with the mentality of giving it a try.
This is also the reason why Kuroki dares to hide in the grass, if it were us, it is estimated that it will be easy to be bitten.
