Chapter 19: Clown Town
The buildings are ancient, the streets are narrow and refined, full of history, and the tall church spires are clearly visible. But nearly a third of the collapsed houses show that the town is not so peaceful.
It was past seven o'clock in the evening and there were scattered pedestrians on the streets. The distance is too far, even Zhang Le can't see the specific situation clearly.
Li Jun and Zhang Le were both very nervous, and cautiously walked from the shallow ditch on the side of the road in the direction of the town.
The two of them are not careful, not only do they look different from the locals, but even their clothes are incompatible, as long as they are seen by any local resident, they will definitely be in an uproar.
After about 300 meters, a huge sign appeared on the side of the road: Le clown de la ville.
Li Jun asked Zhang Le quietly, "What does this mean?" ”
Zhang Le shook his head and said, "I don't know French either, and the people on our ship don't seem to know French!" I'll write it down first, then go back to the boat and look it up with an electronic dictionary. ”
This is already close to the residential area. Zhang Le's eyesight was better, and the first thing he saw was the clothes on the pedestrians, blue hooded robes.
Zhang Le's heart tightened, the group of people he met at sea some time ago were also wearing blue hooded robes, and the group of terrifying-looking people had already brought a psychological shadow to the crew of the Lychee.
But fortunately, Zhang Le couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he found that these people were not wearing hats. Since he didn't wear a hat, he shouldn't have worn a veil either, at least his appearance shouldn't be weird.
"Premature life!" Li Jun, who was wearing night vision glasses and holding binoculars on the side, actually cursed.
Zhang Le didn't know why, and looked in the direction pointed by Li Jun, his heart instantly became cold, and the people in blue robes were really the same kind of people.
In the direction of Li Jun's finger, Zhang Le finally saw two blue-robed people with faces facing this side, although these two people did not wear hats and veils, but they both wore a weird smiley mask, the famous clown mask.
The place where the two of them were lurking was just a shallow ditch, with palm-high weeds growing without any cover, and more importantly, the two clown masked men actually walked along the boulevard on the other side of the gravel road.
The distance between the two of them was only about one hundred and fifty meters away from the clown mask man, and Zhang Le could even see the eyes under the clown mask glowing with a ghostly light in the night.
Zhang Le and Li Jun glanced at each other, shook their heads at the same time, and then slowly retreated to the waist-deep barren grass on the edge of the ditch.
The current mission of the two of them is to investigate, not to raid, not to mention that they don't know whether these blue-robed people are good or bad.
Soon, two clown masked men approached the positions of the two. Although it is separated by a road, the distance in a straight line is no more than thirty meters.
The two of them didn't speak loudly, and their voices were a little hoarse, but Zhang Le could still tell that it was a man and a woman.
Li Jun's hearing was not as keen as Zhang Le's, and he gestured to ask Zhang Le. Zhang Le spread his hands helplessly, and said in a silent mouth: "I don't understand." ”
As the two clown masked men spoke, their voices suddenly became louder, their speaking speed became faster, and their emotions became even more excited, and what made Zhang Le and Li Jun speechless even more was that the two masked men actually stopped.
Although Zhang Le and Li Jun couldn't understand the words of the two masked people, as long as they weren't stupid, they knew that the two masked people were arguing, and it was a very fierce quarrel.
Zhang Le and Li Jun couldn't understand it, and they didn't dare to move, and they were extremely depressed.
After about ten minutes, the quarrel between the two finally attracted the attention of the direction of the town. Two more blue-robed men ran over, two tall, muscular men, also wearing clown masks.
Later, one of the two yelled at the man who had been one of the men and one of the women, and then the two men pushed again. The women began to help the men who came with them again, and the scene was chaotic.
Just when Zhang Le and Li Jun were hiding in the grass to watch the "Western View", the man who was traveling with the woman suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist, "poofed", and inserted it into the left chest of the man who followed.
The noisy scene suddenly fell silent, and the man who was inserted fell to the ground, convulsed for a moment, and then stopped moving.
At the moment when everyone was stunned, the assailant man suddenly stabbed another man in the chest.
In addition, the man had already taken precautions and dodged the fatal blow, but still let the murderer scratch his stomach, and blood flowed.
The woman excitedly yelled at the man who committed the attack.
After saying a word, the assailant man and woman rushed down the gravel road into the darkness opposite the direction of the town without looking back.
The play is a good play, but because Zhang Le and Li Jun can't understand the dialogue of this group of clown mask people at all, the details of the plot are all made up by the brain.
There was such a big incident here, and the direction of the town had already been alarmed by the sound here, and there were twenty or thirty clown masked men running towards this side.
Zhang Le and Li Jun looked at each other again, and the two of them made a retreat gesture at the same time. The two of them first slowly retreated about thirty meters into the grass away from the road, and then bent down and began to trot. After trotting for about two hundred meters, the two men got up and strode towards the beach.
Not a few steps after running in stride, a gunshot rang out from the direction of the beach, Zhang Le and Li Jun's faces changed, and the gunshot came from Wang Daqing's location. The two of them hurried to speed up.
Li Jun said to Zhang Le as he ran: "Don't worry too much, this is the gunfire of the 92-style pistol, it should be the gun fired by Wang Daqing." ”
When he was about to reach the cliff position, Li Jun shouted: "It's us, don't shoot, prepare to sail." Zhang Le secretly praised Li Jun's experience.
Wang Daqing really hid behind the rocks on the edge of the cliff, and when he heard Li Jun's voice, his voice trembled a little and said: "But I am looking forward to you, I am scared to death alone, and I actually met a guy wearing a ghost mask, I look shorter than you, obviously not you, and I was put down with a single shot." By the way, did you find anything? ”
Zhang Le and Li Jun shook their heads at the same time.
Li Jun took Wang Daqing's arm and said, "Let's go, don't ink, the town is full of people with this kind of mask, and they will run over when they hear the gunshot, let's retreat quickly." "This reconnaissance mission was a complete failure.
When Zhang Le passed by the masked man lying on the ground, his heart moved, and he took off the mask of the masked man, and it was really an ugly face, the facial expression was distorted, part of the face was incomplete, and the facial muscles had been exposed, but when Zhang Le endured the nausea and looked at it again, he found that the ulcerated part of the person's face had been healed, and the small half of the face of the healing part was actually smooth and visible, delicate and fair, if you only look at the healing part, Zhang Le can even feel a strange beauty.
Ugliness and beauty coexist, the contrast is huge, and Zhang Le's heart is a little hairy.
The man's arms were bulging, and Zhang Letan took out a book-like thing wrapped in oilcloth.
"Let's go, Zhang Le!" Li Jun shouted in a low voice.
Zhang Le hurriedly stuffed the oilcloth bag into his backpack and walked towards the beach.
As soon as the boat sailed about 500 meters away, a group of masked men appeared on the beach.
With Zhang Le's eyesight, he can naturally see the situation on the seaside.
Suddenly, Zhang Le was stunned, in a group of masked people, a leading masked man was looking straight at the position of the boat, when Zhang Le turned his gaze to the face of the masked man, he found that the masked man's face was slightly on one side, and he actually looked at Zhang Le's gaze.
"Is this a mutant or genetically fortified?" Zhang Le had a trace of fear in his heart, and at the moment when his eyes met, Zhang Le even felt the content of the eyes of the leading masked man opposite: "You can't run away!" ”
Several people returned to the Lychee, and the time was after nine o'clock in the evening, and no one on board was sleeping.
Zhang Le arrived at the lookout of the Lychee for the first time. Zhao Fei, Zhuge Chen and Zha Xiaoxia were chatting on it.
Although everyone didn't say it explicitly, Zhang Le also understood why Zhao Fei and the others didn't sleep so late.
It was very windy at the lookout, and it was the end of September, and it was very cool.
This investigation is the first initiative of the Litchi to the outside world, which is of great significance, and it is inevitable that everyone is waiting for news.
After Zhang Le came up, he didn't say any extra nonsense, and said directly: "Director Zhao, don't ask anything first, let's start the boat first." ”
Zhao Fei was stunned for a moment, and then rushed directly to the stairs. Zhang Le also hurried back to the deck and put away the anchor with Li Jun and a few others.
Five minutes later, the Lychee started and continued to sail towards the sea to the south.
