Chapter Twenty-Nine: Bait
Hearing this, I immediately thought of the paulownia coffin I had just seen on the ferry, Jiang Xiaobai was actually inside? If that's the case, she doesn't make a sound at all, could it be that something has happened to her?!
"Quick, tell me what's going on!" I caught up with the blind man and yelled.
The blind man had shed a lot of blood, and half of his body was dyed red, but he looked crazy, and he gritted his teeth and ran wildly, completely unable to explain.
The two of us ran to the ferry with the leopard in one breath, only to see the ferry slowly rowing over, and then looking at the other side, there was no trace of the coffin.
"Ferryman, cross us quickly!" The blind man was so angry that he jumped to his feet and shouted.
He was red, bleeding from his head, and the boatman was frightened and hurried to the shore.
The blind man and I jumped on the boat, and as soon as the boatman held the anchor hook, the ferry immediately went off the shore and rowed to the north.
The little leopard jumped to the bow of the boat, and roamed left and right with a pair of jewel-like eyes, and his tail swept non-stop, as if he were facing a great enemy.
I had already gotten on the ferry, and it was useless to be in a hurry, so the blind man sat in the cabin sighing and regretting it. I didn't have time to ask him what was going on.
After listening to Wang Blind's explanation, I realized that things were different from what I thought, Jiang Xiaobai was not robbed by someone, but deliberately lay in it.
It is said that after the blind man went home and packed his things, he was just about to go out, when an uninvited guest came. This man was as dark and strong as an iron tower, and the most peculiar thing was that he actually carried a coffin on his shoulder.
After entering the door, without waiting for the blind man to ask, this guy took out a short stick from behind his back and smashed it on his head.
The blind man was not young anymore, his eyes were dark, and he fainted on the spot.
"The one who stepped on the horse knew that he was here to deal with me, so the labor and management did him first!" While scolding, the blind man took out a roll of bandages and wrapped them around his head.
I frowned, thinking about it, the other party can't be a psychopath, there must be a plan, it is likely that the demon girl's side came to retaliate.
When the blind man woke up, he had already been put into the coffin by the big man, it was pitch black, and he couldn't move.
At this moment, the blind man Wang only felt that his eyes lit up, and when he reacted, he had already reached the bottom of the bed. Looking out again, I saw Jiang Xiaobai winking at him, and then got into the coffin and closed the lid from the inside.
Jiang Xiaobai's speed was incredibly fast, and quietly, like a tanuki, it was completed in the blink of an eye, and the big man was squatting next to him to pick up nails, and he didn't even notice it.
Then the blind man lay under the bed like this, watching the big man nail the coffin board firmly, and fainted again until I woke him up.
Hearing this, I understood Jiang Xiaobai's plan, she wanted to blend into the coffin, and then go straight to Huanglong.
I have to say that this girl's ability has once again refreshed my cognition, and she is bold and fearless.
The blind man beat his chest and paused, and he actually cried at an old age, "If other people's girls have three long and two short, my bad old man won't live......"
I hurriedly reassured: "Don't worry, let's rush to save people." ”
As he spoke, the ferryboat came ashore, and the shadow, who had been impatient for a long time, jumped down at once, turned around and shouted to the two of us, and surged forward like lightning, and disappeared into the barren grass.
The two of us got out of the boat and looked left and right, dumbfounded, the leopard was gone.
I thought that Jiang Xiaobai left a shadow to lead the way for the two of us, this little guy has always been smart and obedient, who would have thought that it would run away by itself.
Now there is no other way but to follow the news I inquired and rush to Xiajiadun, hoping that woman is the demon girl we are looking for.
Time was running out, and after determining the direction, I pulled the blind man and ran eastward along the river beach, only hating that I had no wings.
Running and running, the sun gradually sank in the west, and the blind man Wang was old, and he shed a lot of blood, and after a while, he was out of breath, his steps were vain, and the bandages he had just tied oozed blood stains.
I didn't dare to leave him alone, so I just ran on my back, in order not to delay time, I had already played with my life.
After running for nearly an hour, a small hill appeared by the river in front of me, but it was only more than ten meters high, and there were several houses gathered together.
I put the blind man down and admonished: "I said Lao Wang, the front should be the place where the demon girl is hiding, since we have reached the ground, we must be calm." ”
When it comes to experience, Wang Blind is naturally much stronger than me, he was just fired by someone, and he was worried about Jiang Xiaobai, and he was a little irrational. Shocked at my words, he nodded and fell silent.
Next, he dipped some cinnabar from his coat and put it on the center of our eyebrows. "That enchantress is good at illusions, so you have to be prepared beforehand."
After finishing the preparations, the two of us stepped into Xiajiadun one after the other.
This small fishing village is located near the water, and there are only a few families, all of which are simple wooden houses, door to door, and every house is exposed to fishing nets, which is a dilapidated scene. Looking out to the water's edge, there were several small boats docked, the same shape as the one I had seen last night, but not that one.
But we're here to find someone, and it doesn't matter if the ship is there.
As soon as I got to the front of the first house, a little boy jumped out and almost hit me.
I casually held the child in my hands, and was about to ask questions, when I noticed that the boy looked at the blind man, his eyes widened and trembled. When he turned his head, the old man was covered in blood, with bloody gauze wrapped around his forehead, and he was holding an umbrella with a fierce look, which seemed to have frightened the children.
"Don't be afraid, he's not a bad guy." I hurriedly appeased and asked, "May I ask the little friend, where is Xia Jiaming's house?" ”
The little boy raised a hand and was about to point, when a woman's cold voice came from the door, "Three boys, how many times have I told you, don't talk to the living, why don't you listen?" Be careful to break your legs! ”
Hearing this, the little boy was frightened, broke free from my hand and ran back into the house.
Looking at each other, the two of us are angry, and it is not good to lie to women and children, anyway, there are only a few households, just look for them from door to door.
Without waiting for me to speak, the anxious blind man walked to the next house and slammed the door.
The door opened, and inside was a middle-aged man, whose face was dark and rusty due to his long-term work on the water. When he saw the blind man, he was startled, "This old brother, where are you injured?" Do you want me to take you to the hospital in town? ”
I saw that this man was easier to speak, so I stepped forward and asked politely: "Big brother, where is Xia Jiaming?" We have something to do with him. ”
Unexpectedly, hearing this, the man's originally kind face immediately sank, and after glancing at the two of us, he closed the door heavily and threw down a cold sentence, "There is no such person in our village." ”
I was caught off guard and almost hit my nose and quickly took a step back.
The matter is obvious, the people here are just afraid that they don't want us to find Xia Jiaming.
After receiving a cold reception repeatedly, the blind man began to be uncalm again, he strode to another house, and without saying hello, he broke in directly.
As soon as he entered, he shouted angrily from inside: "Brother Ding, here!" ”
When I heard this, my hairs stood on end, and I couldn't care about anything else, so I rushed in.
This is a typical fisherman's hut, very dilapidated, there are a lot of fishing gear piled up in the house, emitting a fishy smell, and in the center of the house, there is a coffin upright.
I didn't expect to find it so smoothly!
The blind man found an axe out of nowhere, and had already begun to smash nails, like a madman, smashing sawdust everywhere. I looked left and right, grabbed a harpoon, and plunged it into the crack as a dead pry.
There is only one thought in our minds now, hurry up and rescue Jiang Xiaobai, the coffin is nailed and is not breathable, it has been so long, don't suffocate people.
The two of us joined forces, and with a sour "creaking" sound, one end of the coffin board was pried up, and at that moment, the light dimmed, and many people came over and blocked the door.
Looking up, these people are all dressed as local fishermen, men and women, young and old, and three of them we have just met. They all had their hands in their hands, some with knives, some with harpoons, and they all looked at us coldly, with unkind expressions.
"Something is wrong with these people!" When the blind man saw it clearly, he exclaimed.
Even if he didn't say it, I could see that everyone had a murderous aura in their eyes, including children who were only a few years old, this was absolutely abnormal, they must have fallen under some spell and had their minds controlled.
"Leave them alone, get them out first!" I was so anxious that my temples jumped "suddenly", and I gritted my teeth and tried to pry them desperately.
There were twenty or thirty people outside, and the only gate was blocked, but we both knew in our hearts that we were already in danger.
Now it seems that they originally kidnapped the blind man, probably to use it as bait and catch us all. I just don't understand, we move very quickly, how does the other party grasp our movements and act precisely?
It's just that they probably couldn't imagine that Wang Blind would become Jiang Xiaobai.
Seeing that we were still prying, the coffin board was lifted higher and higher, and the faces of those people became hideous, and they began to walk into the house with the guys.
The blind man Wang was in a hurry, he grabbed the handle of the vajra umbrella and twisted it, only to hear the sound of "choking", and actually pulled out a sword with cold light. It turns out that there is a Qiankun in the Vajra umbrella, which is not only a magic weapon, but also a Qimen weapon.
The sword is a soft sword, with a blue edge, a swaying edge, and a poisonous snake.
The blind man threw the umbrella and shouted at me, "Pry quickly"! Without hesitation, he greeted him with his sword.
Seeing his thin body facing a large group of fierce fishermen, my chest was about to explode, I stomped my foot, shouted, and burst out with unprecedented strength, and the heavy coffin board "collapsed" with a sound, and I actually pried it up, turned over and fell at the gate.
I hurriedly stretched out my hand into the coffin, trying to fish Jiang Xiaobai out, but I was empty. Who's in the coffin? There was only one corpse of a white fox, which was nailed to death by Jiang Xiaobai.
If you look closely, the big man is carrying a rare paulownia coffin across the river, but this coffin is pine.
"Oops, it's a trick!" I exclaimed, looking up at the door.
I saw a crowd over there, and a woman in a big red shirt and pants walked in with her head down.
