Chapter 346: Dangerous Mountain at Night
But after thinking for a moment, he stood up decisively and said, "Okay, let's go tonight."
Then his eyes fell on Zhuang Siyan's body: "You stay in the city and go to the Luohe City Governor to watch Du Jixin." ”
Zhuang Siyan's eyes widened.
What kind of logic is this? Let her stay in the city, and he will lead the team himself?
Does he even know who he is? If there is a what, then the world will not be in chaos?
Qing Ran and Qing Feng also immediately stood up, saying that they would lead the team, and Ling Tiancheng and Zhuang Siyan didn't need to go.
Qing Ran also said: "Let's just go and see, maybe there is nothing, it's not good to go to so many people." You and Mr. Si are both staying in the city, Qingfeng and I each lead a team, plus the people from the Luo Governor's Mansion, there should be a lot, we must come back before dawn. ”
"Nope." Ling Tiancheng and Zhuang Siyan said almost in unison.
Then the two looked at each other, and they had already decided.
Ling Tiancheng spoke first: "Let's go, you and Qingran Qingfeng will take a team to the village, and Yan'er and I will take Luotong and Xu Ning into the mountain together." ”
Xu Ning's face turned white, his mouth moved and he wanted to speak, but in the end, he didn't spit out a word.
He tossed until now, and he didn't even eat a mouthful of food, oh hey, has anyone thought about him?
Moreover, when he entered the mountain in the middle of the night, the mountain was still full of the smell of corpses, he really ...... It's hard to put into words.
Someone has already gone to find Rayong, and here Qingran and they also went to Luo Zhifu to transfer people, and asked for a token to open the city gate.
Du Jixin had already slept on the bed, and when he heard that he was going to open the city gate at night and call his people, his eyes opened as if they were about to jump out of his sockets: "Lord Qing, you stay, can the lower official ask what happened?" ”
Qing Ran shook his head and said in a flat tone, "Master Du will go to sleep again." ”
He glanced meaningfully at Du Jixin's clothes that he hadn't had time to put on, and on his open chest, there were two women's long hairs hanging from them, and there was a heavy fat powder on his body.
Du Jixin couldn't sleep.
Qing Ran didn't transfer one or two people from him, but hundreds of people, and they went out of the city in the middle of the night.
As the prefect of Luohe City, how can he let people out, release tokens, and still lie down and sleep peacefully?
Even if this official position is not very good and confused, there are still some things that are measured.
He hurried back to his inner room, and busied himself with his clothes, and said to a woman with silky eyes lying on the bed, "I want to go out." ”
The woman's arm hooked, and she took him to the bed room again: "My lord, people are finally free tonight, why do you have to go out before you have a good discussion?" ”
Du Ji believed that she was irritable, and picked her hand and said, "There is an emergency, the gang from the capital has transferred people, and they have to go out of the city, I have to go and see." ”
A glimmer of light flashed in the woman's eyes, and the hand that hooked Du Jixin also let go, wrapped the quilt around her chest and said, "In the middle of the night, what are they doing with people?" ”
"If I knew, I wouldn't panic." Du Jixin had already put on his clothes, got up and walked outside, and when he was about to go out, he turned back to the woman on the bed and said, "You are waiting here, you are not allowed to leave." ”
The woman smiled at him charmingly, and pursed her bright red lips, and looked at Duggie's confidence with itching, and if he hadn't closed the door quickly, he might have folded back again.
Du Jixin hurried to the gate of the city, but he did not know that the woman in his bed also went out after him and went in the other direction.
Qing Ran's speed was extremely fast, and when Du Jixin arrived at the city gate, they had already left the city.
When I asked the general who was guarding the city where they had gone, the general shook his head and said, "They came with the token of the adult, and we just opened the door, but I didn't hear you say where you want to ask the people where they are going?" ”
Du Jixin glared at him vigorously, and his feet were raised, but because the other party was tall and a martial arts person, he really moved, and the other party may not have been polite to him because he was the lord of a city.
He was angry, anxious, and rushed back to the inn where Zhuang Siyan and they lived.
It's a pity that not a single useful person was found there.
In the end, he returned to his house and found that even the woman on the bed was gone.
Du Jixin was almost angry, and he threw down a few inexpensive clothes at home, and he didn't dare to sleep anymore, and went to the city gate again.
And at this time, Qingran and the others had already brought people into the village.
Ling Tiancheng and Zhuang Siyan took Luo Yong and Xu Ning and them up the mountain road.
The forest is indeed very dense, and there are many trees that are thick and large, and they cannot be named.
There are weeds under the trees, and roots that grow outside, so the walk is difficult.
In order not to prepare each other, they didn't even light torches, and walked forward in the dark.
Xu Ning is usually not afraid of corpses, but when he comes to this kind of place in the middle of the night, he is still very frightened, the living are much more terrible than the dead, this is his deepest experience of doing a job.
The group walked up in search of the unpleasant smell, and the closer they got to the top of the mountain, the denser the forest, and the stronger the smell.
Rayong's footsteps were fast, and these trees, grass, and under his feet, seemed to be no problem at all.
And his eyes seem to be different from Zhuang Siyan, he seems to have long been used to such a dark night, so his eyes are particularly bright, and when he looks ahead, he will give people an illusion.
He was the only one who could see, and he was not affected by the night.
Originally, he was following Ling Tiancheng and them, but only halfway up the mountain, Luo Yong said, "Master Si, let me go ahead." ”
He was not familiar with Ling Tiancheng, although he knew that he was not small, he was reluctant to talk more, and he still asked Zhuang Siyan for something.
Zhuang Siyan glanced at him in the dark and asked, "Have you been here?" ”
Rayong shook his head: "No." ”
He didn't say anything further, and Zhuang Siyan didn't ask, but quietly pulled Ling Tiancheng and gave him the position in front.
It was clear that Rayong was leading the team, and they were all moving much faster, because there were people stepping on the road in front, and when they were gone, there would be a lot less worry.
Xu Ning was originally walking slowly, and as soon as the whole centaur speeded up at this moment, he couldn't keep up, but he was afraid of throwing him on this broken mountain again, so he took a breath, and refused to let go of his tail until he was panting like a cow, and he couldn't even say a word.
"Master...... Master, Mr. Si, can we rest for a while? The little ones really can't walk. ”
Zhuang Siyan stacked a sentence for him in front: "If you can't walk, you can rest there for a while, and we will come back to pick you up after we finish our errands." ”
Xu Ning's buttocks were all touched to the ground, and when he heard this, he bounced up again as if he had been electrocuted.
Let's follow, and when they come back, I don't know if I can still sit here?
The mountain was not high, but there were several of them, and when they reached the top, they realized that there was still one behind them.
But the smell was the strongest here, and even Zhuang Siyan and the others could smell it.
Searching for the taste, they soon found an altar at the top of the mountain.
It is said to be an altar, but it is actually very simple, with only a few large stones spread on it, and the shape of an offering table is set up, freeing up a small area.
The grass and trees were shoveled clean, and there seemed to be a lot of movement on it, and some footsteps could be seen.
There was a burning smell on the side of the altar, presumably clothes, and the smell of corpses came from a pit in front of the altar.
With Zhuang Siyan's consent, Rayong lit the torch in his hand and looked into the pit.
Zhuang Siyan followed them to look inside, and after just one glance, she reflexively vomited.
There was a dead man, but the death of that man was horrible.
The whole skin was peeled off, and the blood on his body was drenched in patches, and he rolled to the bottom of the pit, and the blood and mud mixed together.
His eyes almost burst out, and his hands dug deep into the dirt.
This is not the skin that people only pick up after they die, but after they are peeled off, they are thrown into the pit and let him die slowly.
In addition to him, there were many white bones at the bottom of the pit, and those unpleasant stenches came from it.
In summer, the wind is strong, and it decays quickly, and they put people on the top of the mountain, so they can smell this smell in the village below the mountain when they go down the wind.
Zhuang Siyan has seen many dead people, and after coming to the Dasheng Dynasty, he has also handled many cases of dead people, including the horse training ground before, or the bottom of the moat.
But it's really rare to see something as cruel and bloody as this.
Killing with a knife and torturing people to die slowly are two different concepts.
She didn't look into the pit again, but her fists were clenched.
Ling Tiancheng also turned his head away and asked Xu Ning to go down to see how many people were inside.
This person, who claimed to have the closest relationship with the corpse, also looked terrified at this time, and his feet fell back, refusing to go down.
Or Rayong stood up and said, "I'll go down and carry the better one out and see." ”
The people who were still close to him automatically retreated back again when they heard his words.
Rayong handed the torch to a soldier next to him, tugged his shirt around his waist, and jumped down.
He seemed to be an emotionless person, his face and eyes did not change much, and he reached out to scoop up the person who was not completely rotten.
Before he could lift it off the ground, several rats squeaked, ran out of the man's body, crawled out of the pit in all directions, and ran through the crowd towards the mountains.
Zhuang Siyan was simply stunned.
What the hell is this place, and who is so perverted to do such a thing?
She thought, not to mention the village outside the city, even inside the city, if the inside is big, or if those rats run in, they can smell such a stench.
Luo Yong had already brought the person out, put it on the stone that was used as an offering table, and turned his head to look at Xu Ning.
Xu Ningsheng was frightened by him and took a step back, almost stepping on the air and falling down the mountain.
He was stunned for a long time before rubbing his nose and walking forward.
When he was actually confronted with the corpse, he was still calmer than everyone else, and soon got into the groove and began to report his examination results.
"Died of excessive bleeding.
There were no other fatal injuries on the body, no poison, male.
And there are blood stains on this stone slab, which should not be used for sacrifice, but probably for skinning people.
Wait, I'll go down and see, are all the bones down there all dying from the same kind of torture? ”
He forgot that he was still weak before, and he jumped into the bottom of the pit just like that.
The torch struck downward, and the white bones glowed miserably white in the firelight, and from time to time there was some green flashing, like ghost fire, which made people shiver.
