Chapter 232: Soupy Strong
Xia Zhi wanted to wait at the door, after all, the house was a little gloomy, but when he thought of being able to rescue his grandmother, he also mustered up the courage to go in.
The room was dim, even during the day, it was pitch black, Zhou Xiaofa turned on the light, only to see the 'King of Wonderful Brushes' sleeping on the bed with skin and bones, and his eyes couldn't tell whether he was open or closed.
"'Wonderful Pen King' Grandpa," Zhou Xiaofa said in a kind voice, "They are my friends, we have something to ask you, is it convenient for you now?" β
"Convenient." The 'King of Wonderful Brushes' let out a hoarse voice weakly.
The summer solstice shuddered, and this feeling was like watching a ghost movie.
Fang Lubai handed the picture in front of his eyes and asked, "Uncle, do you remember this picture?" β
Fang Lubai didn't know if he could see clearly.
The 'King of Wonderful Brushes' squinted hard for a long time, and finally nodded with difficulty.
Fang Lubai was ecstatic: "Then do you remember who you painted this picture for?" β
"I have painted six people," the old man looked very struggling without saying a word, "it was ten years ago, he, they, ahem, at first I was looking for a person, he is the current village chief, and then there were five people, they asked me to draw five, at first I refused, and then they begged me in every possible way, bribed me, and I reluctantly painted." β
"And do you remember who those five people were?"
"There is another fierce and vicious black-faced man among the five people, I am very impressed, I refused at the time, he still wants to be rough, his temper is very bad, it seems to be called Tang Xiangqiang, he is an unknown junior in the village, and there is a woman, I don't know what it is called, anyway, the five of them are all from the village."
"Do you know why they asked you to draw?"
"I don't know, I remember that they said something before leaving, it seems that they met ten years later, and I don't know the specific situation, I heard that they seem to have opened a village later."
"Grandpa, do you remember when it was?"
Fang Lubai felt more and more that things were becoming more and more eyebrow-raising.
"It's been so long, I can't remember." The 'King of Wonderful Brushes' paused: "By the way, there seems to have been a fire at that time, and it was the original village chief's house that caught fire. β
Fang Lubai snickered for a while, and the matter finally became a little clear.
Fang Lubai wanted to ask a few more questions, but the 'King of Wonderful Brushes' began to cough violently, but fortunately, Zhou Xiaofa was present and fed some medicine in time, and the situation of the 'King of Wonderful Brushes' stabilized.
It was impossible to continue asking questions, but for Fang Lubai, this information was enough.
After walking out of the house, Fang Lubai said, "I have already put the things that went into the woods in the hotel, and now it's time to go into the woods." Summer solstice, I think you should rest. β
"I must go!" Xia Zhi said categorically, "My grandmother is still in the woods, I am her grandson, I must rescue her with my own hands, I must go!" β
Zhou looked at Xia Zhi: "I'm going too, I must catch the murderer of the village chief with my own hands!" β
Fang Lubai had already guessed, no matter how much he persuaded him, it was useless.
"Alright! Let's go! β
The three of them hurried to the hotel, and when Xia Zhi and Zhou Xiaofa prepared their things and were about to leave, they found that Fang Lubai was gone.
There is only one thing that can make Fang Lubai disappear at this time.
Xia Zhi took Zhou Xiaofa to Fang Lubai's door, gently pushed the door open, and saw Fang Lubai sitting next to Du Lisha, holding her hand tightly.
Xia Solstice didn't make a sound, but watched quietly.
Fang Lubai said to himself: "I have lost Xu Nan, and I will never let anyone sacrifice for me again." β
Fang Lubai didn't say too much, but the room was warm.
"You like her?"
Zhou Xiaofa's voice came from Xia Zhi's ears.
Xia Zhi blushed for a moment, he didn't want the calf to eat old grass, and this was not his favorite type.
Xia Solstice didn't know how to answer, just said: "Let's go, let's go immediately, give them some time." β
Xia Zhi retreated into the room, and when he entered the room, Zhou Xiaofa suddenly grabbed him: "Xia Zhi, don't die." β
"Cut~ I won't die, I haven't married a wife yet, don't worry, none of us will die!"
Zhou Xiaofa showed a weird smile.
Xia Solstice was wondering, and Fang Lubai appeared.
He said heavily: "You are here, let's go, this is our last chance, tonight we are going to break the kettle and set off!" β
The strange atmosphere of the woods seemed to be more and more suffocating than last time, the towering trees emitted a tempting aura of death, and the three of them stood outside the woods shuddering Xia Zhi looked around in horror and said, "Fang Lubai, where should we go?" It's not dark yet, and we're going to hurry. β
Fang Lubai took out a map of animal skins from his bosom and said, "You see that there is a red heart on each map, and I think the place marked by this red heart should be the location of the treasure." Of course, this is a map from 10 years ago, but the structure of the woods hasn't changed for the most part, and we should go toβyes, there! β
He pointed to a small dirt road overgrown with weeds.
Suddenly, Fang Lubai's eyes lit up as if he had found a treasure, and he hurriedly ran over.
He pointed to the footprints on the road and said, "What is this!" β
"Footprints?" Xia Zhi stepped forward and said, "It seems that it was left not long ago, and it seems that there are two people at this size." β
Fang Lubai frowned: "That black-faced man is in danger, the murderer has already started his final move." β
The darkness began to swallow up the light, and the atmosphere of darkness passed like a swift wind, and the sky was surrounded by a cloud of mist, like a prison cell in hell.
The crows in the woods did not stop howling for a moment, and they wept for the earth with mournful voices, and the hands of the god of death were slowly reaching for the earth.
"Listenβ" Fang Lubai stopped, "There seems to be any sound?" β
"Voice?" Xia Zhi pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a voice in the grass, "There are still people?" I heard footsteps, so watch out. β
Zhou Xiaofa suddenly had a gloomy summer face: "The person who should be careful is you!" βγ
When the word 'ah' of the summer solstice was still echoing in the air, the grass suddenly made a rustling sound, and a black shadow jumped out of the grass and knocked him to the ground.
The black shadow desperately grabbed Xia Solstice's head with his claws, and through the moonlight, he could see a hairy humanoid voice,
It's a savage! It's a savage!
The wild man's appearance was even more ferocious than last time, and from time to time he opened his basin-sized mouth and bit Xia Zhi's head, and after a while, Xia Zhi's face was covered with vomiting saliva.
Fang Lubai was a little frightened, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly took out a dagger from his pocket, he wanted to rush up to save Xia Zhi.
But before Fang Lubai rushed forward, Zhou Xiaofa put the dagger in his hand on Fang Lubai's neck.
