It seems that the methods of these people are really vicious, if this is a whip, I don't care, the most worried is Hua Bo, he only has half a life left, I don't know if I can stand it.

Sure enough, several executioners hung us on the beams of the house, it seems that this is about to start, at this time I saw clearly, the hanging was beaten to the death of the master, is actually the crazy old man who took us into the mountain, I saw that he was covered in blood, mud, no longer the appearance, his eyes were closed, his chapped lips moved slightly, as if he was muttering something, according to Da Zhuang, his hysteria should have been cured by Hua Bo, but at this time it seems that he is still delirious, it is estimated that he was beaten.

I whispered to him, "Crazy old man! Crazy old man! ”

He looked up at me slightly, and though it was only a glimpse, I could read a glimmer in his gaze, and he was probably still conscious, at least for now, and he didn't act rashly, but the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a strange smile.

Suddenly, I heard the wind in my ears, and a black shadow was falling on the crazy old man's body, "Bang! With a bang, the skin of the long whip opened, and the blood splashed my face, and the crazy old man was still a man, and he didn't even snort.

The executioner below laughed, and scolded vaguely in his mouth, obviously giving us a dismount first, if he didn't wait for the torture to be frightened and admit it, then it would show that the executioner's means were clever.

At this time, a Miao man walked in outside the door, it was the guard of the Snake King, the one who was taken away by me and thrown out again. He snatched the long whip, a whip hit me, I felt a fire in my back, as if the ribs were broken twice, all the internal organs were shaken out of place, the pain made my teeth clench, obviously he was a personal vendetta, venting the humiliation of being snatched by me empty-handed just now, so I used twelve points of strength, the more I had to show that I didn't care, of course I couldn't gnaw.

Then two more whips hit me, and I felt a little dizzy, and I could only hear Xia Ti crying out my name.

I tried to settle down, silently recited a few words of "centering mantra", my mind was a little clearer, and then there were two "pops", and the whip hit Da Zhuang's body again, Da Zhuang was just about to curse, seeing that I gave him a fierce look, and also knew that the hero does not suffer the loss in front of him, this is a moment of reckless tongue gains, will undoubtedly die faster, so I have to hate and hate.

Can't let them touch Hua Bo and Xia Ti, I was thinking about how to get out, Phoenix suddenly broke in, she held our blade in her arms, took out a yellow talisman and handed it to the guard, and whispered a few words, the guard looked like a villain, hummed and scolded a few words, it is estimated that it is not a good word.

Suddenly, the crazy old man muttered to me in a very low voice: "These three villages are very weird, especially this Shangzhai, hehe!" His eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth twitched again, and if I hadn't been so close to him, I would never have been able to hear him clearly, and if I hadn't seen his gaze glance at me, he would have said it to himself.

In my heart, an inexplicable chill came up from the back of my heart, what did he mean by this? This Shangzhai should be said to be the most normal, the most harmonious and friendly Houshan Miao Village we have ever seen, why does the crazy old man say that it is the strangest of the three villages, is it more than those living dead in Zhongzhai......

Could it be that this crazy old man was tortured again and went crazy, and was just about to ask for details, when suddenly, as soon as the rope was loosened, the four of us were let go, and the phoenix hurriedly came over to untie us.

A few big men in the house glared at us angrily, I picked up Lu Lujian and wanted to slaughter these dog minions, not because I was whipped just now, but these minions knew at a glance that it was not a good thing, since we entered the door, they have been staring at Xia Ti in a daze, and when they saw the hard stubble, they hid, with a servile look, and when they saw me menacing to draw their swords out, they all timidly retreated several steps.

Seeing my intentions, the phoenix grabbed me and said, "The snake king is gracious enough to let you go, and you can't regenerate right and wrong." ”

Her words were reasonable, so I pointed to the crazy old man who was still hanging, and said, "This man is our guide, can you let him go?" ”

The phoenix looked embarrassed and said in a low voice: "The snake king only promised to let you go, he has no worries about his life for a while, you are all injured, it is better to go back first and then make plans." ”

Although I knew that Phoenix's words were right, the crazy old man must have wanted to tell me something, and he was right in front of me at this time, so how could I be willing.

Xia Ti grabbed my hand and shook her head at me with tears in her eyes, after going through so much, I have already had a heart-to-heart with her, I know her worries, the hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, so he has to give up.

Da Zhuang also has a straight temper of love and hate, and he wants to rush up to the guy in the morning, but at this moment, he is also worried about supporting Hua Bo.

It's no wonder that Hua Bo's vitality was greatly injured, his body was already weak, where could he withstand such a toss, I scolded myself fiercely in my heart, and almost recklessly ran into trouble, so I helped Hua Bo and followed the phoenix back to the residence.

Fortunately, Hua Bo was just tied up and hung for a while, his qi and blood were a little uncomfortable, and he was soon fine, at this time, the phoenix knocked on the door and came in, and asked me and Da Zhuang: "You have been whipped by the snake clan, how are your injuries?" ”

"It hurts! The pain makes me dizzy, the dog * mother raised, I wrote down this account. Da Zhuang gritted his teeth.

I also realized that Da Zhuang was not exaggerating, and it was indeed a terrible pain, so I also nodded to Phoenix with empathy.

Phoenix said: "This is called the python scale whip, which is made of the snake skin of the giant snake, and there is a thin iron cable in it, which is a unique torture tool of our snake clan. ”

She paused, took out a packet of medicine from her arms, and continued: "You two should also hurt your muscles and bones, this is 'Black Bone Vine', our Miao family's secret medicine, external use can connect muscles and bones, internal use can invigorate blood and menstruation, dispel rheumatism, believe it or not, I will follow you." ”

Xia Ti hurriedly took the medicine and thanked him again and again.

"What about our guide? This python scale whip is so vicious, if he doesn't think about saving him, he is afraid that his life will be lost. "I mean the crazy old man.

Phoenix snorted, "You can't protect yourself, so take care of yourself." ”

"You call the snake king an uncle, what does it have to do with him?" I asked aggressively.

Phoenix said angrily: "He is my grandfather's apprentice, and my grandfather passed on the position of the snake king to him back then, shouldn't I call him Abo?" With that, he slammed the door and left.

Xia Ti immediately opened the medicine bag, and inside was a pile of dried wood chips that were black on the outside and white on the inside.

Hua Bo tasted it, nodded and said: "I have also heard of the black bone vine in Miaodi, it has been recorded in ancient books, this herb can even be bone-grafted, this medicine is cool and bitter, it should not be wrong." Grind it into the end, take a little and apply it to the affected area, and then take some internally, but this medicine is slightly poisonous and should not exceed five yuan. ”

Xia Ti responded, and hurriedly used medicine for me and Da Zhuang according to Hua Bo's method, and after everything was done, it was already the middle of the night.

This medicine does have a miraculous effect, I slept for a while, and turned the day, although my body still had some pain, but I felt that it was fine.

Actually, what I miss most is the crazy old man, or the secret that the crazy old man knows, he must be a very unusual person.

He can break into here alone, and he is much faster than us, either he knows the three villages well, or he has a special skill, and it seems that he is the former at the moment.

I told everyone what the crazy old man whispered to me yesterday, and everyone was puzzled and couldn't think of why, but indeed everything in this village was extremely normal, the people were harmonious, and the houses were neat and generous......

Da Zhuang guessed that it was very likely that the crazy old man was overtortured, and he couldn't bear it for a while, so he began to talk nonsense, which is indeed very likely, but I saw a clarity in the crazy old man's eyes.

But this statement was quickly denied by Walber and me, and the mad old man's hysteria had been cured, and he should not have relapsed due to excessive torture, and I was sure by the look of the mad old man that his mind should be awake.

In this way, the discussion for half a day was still fruitless.

At this time, Xia Ti stood by the window again in a daze, and suddenly, she said in a trembling voice: "I see, I, I know the strangeness of this Shangzhai!" ”

Xia Ti was born in a family of military generals, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and by no means as timid as ordinary girls, but her tone was clearly a little afraid, as if she was frightened by something.

"What's strange here, Master Xia, what have you found again, say it, say it quickly!" Da Zhuang urged.

Xia Ti gasped and said, "Brother Wu, do you remember the two little children who bumped into you when you first entered the village?" ”

Da Zhuang nodded, "Of course I remember, those two little cubs almost knocked me down. ”

Xia Ti nodded and continued: "Yesterday and today, these two children ran through the same alley at the same hour, exactly the same as the day before yesterday when we first entered the village. ”

Da Zhuang scratched his head and wondered: "There is such a coincidence?" That's not surprising, children, they like to come out and play at this time? ”

Xia Ti took a deep breath, pointed out the window and said, "I thought so at first, but do you remember when I asked the three women who were chatting for directions!" They're talking across the street now, and they were the same yesterday, exactly the same as when we first met them, and I'm afraid, even the topics we talked about were the same. ”

I was taken aback, "Can you understand their conversation?" ”

"Of course not, but I have this feeling, maybe it is the intuition of women, they look exactly the same as they did that day."
