Chapter 100: Black Swamp
There were so many people in the lobby, Qian San didn't dare to make too outrageous moves, glared at Lu Shengcai fiercely, and left with the rice bowl.
I didn't eat a bite of that bowl of rice, only potatoes and vegetables to fill my stomach, and I occasionally glanced at Qian San during the meal, and I saw that he covered his stomach with his hand from time to time, and the expression on his face was extremely nervous.
Lu Shengcai came up to me and whispered: "This guy is really not a thing, he dares to poison!" ”
I made a silencing gesture and motioned for him to remain silent.
After lunch, the others were still cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and Qian San hurriedly left the lobby.
I estimated that he should go away, so I greeted Lu Shengcai and Yunsheng and quietly followed.
Turning into the alley, I saw Qian San holding his stomach and running wildly, he walked very quickly, and he had no time to care about his back, so the three of us also hid our bodies and followed up quickly.
Walking to the end of the village, we were afraid of being seen by Zhou Jiuli, so we turned into the yard next to the road, only exposing our eyes to the top of the wall, and looked at Qian San.
When Qian San saw Zhou Jiuli, it was like seeing a life-saving straw, and he hurriedly made a few gestures: "I'm poisoned, quickly, the antidote!" ”
Originally, I thought that Qian San poisoned my bowl at the behest of Zhou Jiuli.
But he didn't expect Zhou Jiuli to see Qian San's gesture, and he was immediately stunned, and gestured: "You are poisoned?" ”
Qian San then gestured: "I sprinkled the oil into that kid's bowl, but I didn't expect to be discovered, so I ate the oil." ”
He was in a hurry right now and didn't have time to go into details.
Zhou Jiuli was shocked: "You poisoned his bowl?" Do you want to kill! ”
"Quick, antidote!"
Zhou Jiuli took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to Qian San, who didn't have time to think about it, immediately pulled out the cap, pressed the bottle mouth to his mouth and took two sips.
Zhou Jiuli gestured impatiently: "You are doing evil!" ”
Qian San gestured: "I just don't like them." ”
"Then you can't be murderous, anyway, they didn't embarrass us."
Qian San raised his arm, and before he could make a complete gesture, he rolled his eyes and fell straight to the ground.
I guess that this should be a side effect of the antidote, because Zhou Jiuli was not nervous at this time, he just bent down hard, and tested Qian San's forehead temperature with his hand, probably seeing that Qian San was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Zhou Jiuli carried Qian San on his left shoulder and limped into Zhuangzi.
We immediately submerged our heads under the wall, and waited until Zhou Jiuli's footsteps disappeared into the distance before we lifted ourselves up again and looked out.
At this time, Zhou Jiuli had already taken Qian San into an alley, and looked towards Zhuangwei in a blink of an eye, and the path leading to Tiankan was no longer blocked.
To be honest, Zhou Jiuli's performance just now was completely beyond my expectations, I thought he was the most difficult underlord in Zhuangzi, but I didn't expect that his character was not too bad.
Lu Shengcai came over and asked me, "Are you going out?" ”
Nonsense, such a great opportunity, how could I let it go.
I didn't say anything at the moment, I immediately climbed out of the courtyard wall and touched in the direction of Tiankan.
It is now approaching the end of April, and it is almost time to harvest the crops in the village, and the fields are full of strong crops, but above the fields, there is a faint layer of black gas floating.
Passing by a vegetable field, I found that the soil was soaked, and I didn't know what kind of irrigation it was, it was all a deep black color, and it reflected oily shiny, like an ointment soaked in ink.
I walked down the field, pinched a pinch of black mud and put it on my nose to smell, the mud has a peculiar fishy smell, very faint, it is difficult to find if you don't smell it carefully.
Yunshang whispered in my ear, "That's the smell of corpses." ”
I turned to look at her: "Corpse stinking? ”
"Well," Yunshang nodded: "Not only does the soil contain the smell of corpses, but even there is a faint smell of death floating over the fields, and the crops here must be raised from rotting corpses." ”
I threw away the black mud in my hand, and when I remembered the food I had eaten recently, my stomach began to churn.
But thinking about the pills I have taken over the years, the feeling in my stomach has suddenly improved a lot.
No matter how weird the food in this place is, it can't compare to the elixirs that Master gave me, don't you know, the elixirs that Master gave me to eat, they are really, they have any taste, that is, they are not sweet and pleasant.
In any case, this field did not give me a very good feeling, and I did not want to stay long, so I quickly jumped up the field, and walked along the path between the fields, and finally crossed the field in the shortest possible time, and came to a small forest behind the field.
From the moment I walked up to the ridge, I felt a very stuffy aura in the forest, a bit like dead air, but I can't say what the specific aura is.
The periphery of the forest is full of large trees several feet high, and there are almost no gaps between the trees, which is very unusual, usually speaking, the trees grow so densely, they should not grow tall, but the trees here are branches pressing the branches, and the roots are coiled with roots, like a group of giants standing hand in hand, guarding the deepest secrets of the forest.
It took us a lot of effort and time to get through this huge tree, and when we crossed the last crack in the tree, the air was filled with a very strong dampness, it was like someone had steamed a large pot of grease, and the dampness floating in the air did not come from water, but oil, and when I took a breath, I felt that my nose was full of greasy, and my body was as if it had a layer of grease, smooth and greasy.
Since the trees blocked the sunlight, I couldn't see what was in front of me, and I could only vaguely make out that it was a smooth road ahead, with no outlines of trees to obstruct it.
I was afraid that the flame of the ghost candle might ignite the oil in the air, so I said to Yunsheng, "Girl, light it up." ”
Yun Shang's body immediately glowed with a light soft light, and the light was very weak, which could only illuminate a small area around Yun Shang.
Fortunately, I didn't rush deeper, and at this time, with the brilliance on Yunsheng's body, I could see that next to the big tree, there was a piece of wet and soft black mud, and the muddy water was slowly stirring, turning out clusters of fine foam from time to time.
Lu Shengcai just stepped out of one leg and wanted to walk forward, when he saw the black mud in front of Yun Shang, he quickly retracted the leg that was vacated in the air.
This is a flowing swamp, and once you step into it, there is no possibility of survival.
At this time, Yunshang was bending down, trying to reach out a hand to touch the swamp, and I immediately reached out and grabbed her wrist and shook my head at her.
I suspect that this swamp may be the lair of the black god, and if he touches the swamp mud rashly, it is very likely to wake up the black god.
Judging from the current situation, the black god should not appear during the day, and every evening, when the twilight bell rings, it will go to the Zhuangzi to forage for food, but even so, I am not sure whether the black god is asleep now, or has already woken up.
For the sake of prudence, I signaled to Yunshang and Lu Shengcai not to make a sound, and at the same time calculated the way to retreat, once there was an abnormal movement in the swamp, we would retreat.
