Chapter 4: Broken Hands and Feet
Tonight was a bit cloudy, the moon was not very bright, and there was a big halo around it. In the faint moonlight, the open water surface sparkled, and the weeping willows on the shore were perched with late-returning waterfowl, huddled together and sleeping with their eyes open without a sound.
A bird moved, and it was more alert, and it noticed that something in front of it shook for a moment. Before he could get up with the flapping of his wings, the shadow swished away, and the bird fell into a deep sleep again, thinking that it must be the wind, and it saw the shadow of the wind. The black shadow fluttered on the water, like a kite with a broken string, and a few ups and downs landed on an island in the distance.
The island looked like it had been abandoned for many years, standing on the shore, surrounded by black trees, tall and towering, like a monstrous monster in the night, the breeze blowing, the branches dancing, and a little eerie.
There was also the smell of rotten leaves in the humid air, mixed with the faint fishy smell of the water, stale and distant.
Zhao Nan looked around and quietly walked deeper into the woods.
Strange to say, his steps were so light that they didn't even alarm the birds and insects, and the woods were still calm, with the occasional squeak of insects, followed by the unknown bird, Ao Ao's.
There was no one in the woods, and Zhao Nan wore it from one end to the other, without a single human voice.
Could it be that I guessed wrong? Soon, he denied the doubts in his heart: impossible, the iron ring was so bright, it was the result of years of friction, if it wasn't for the tethered boat, where could it be tethered? There must be a boat, and that boat is probably usually hidden in the inn. The back door of this inn is the wharf, and the people at the inn have been telling lies, and even the so-called registration book is probably ready and pretending. At this moment, Zhao Nan saw a flash of light somewhere, the bright light was red, and the tail was elongated when it shook, it was firelight!
He took a few more steps towards the firelight, Xu was too anxious to pay attention to his feet, and suddenly tripped over something and fell to the ground, Zhao Nan's eyes could pierce the darkness, and what tripped him was the white bones, probably dug out by the animals on the island, revealing half of his body, he just stepped on the ribs, and his foot was inserted, and then he tripped and fell. Zhao Nan picked up the bone and took a closer look to see if something was wrong. He stretched out his hand and scratched on the ground a few times, and strangely enough, his slender fingers were like a nail rake, and in a few moments the bone was completely exposed.
The skeleton is not big but also very complete, looking at the length and the slenderness of the bones, it is more than ten years old, the strange thing is that there are a few more small bones on the ribs, Zhao Nan stared at the skeleton for a while, and there was a bird cry in his ears, and he suddenly woke up: Yes, the joint of the ribs is like a bird's wings! There are a few more tiny bones here. It is enough to make a stand for two wings, and if it is covered with a membrane, this is two wings. It's just that this is obviously a human skeleton, the skull stares at the black hole in the eyes, the mouth is slightly open, the thin and fragile bones, and then looking at the shape of the pelvis, he judged that this is a teenager about ten years old. Was this boy born out of phase, or was he ...... He's not human? He can't be a monster, even if a monster can transform into a human form, once it dies, the spiritual power on his body will disappear and it will become its original form, so if it is not a human, it can only be ...... Monster?
Zhao Nan was shocked: There used to be monsters on this island, maybe this is the reason why this island was abandoned?
He searched for a while near the bones, and soon found some bones, not as complete as this one, fragments, which could be identified as human bones, but what was this? Zhao Nan found a large piece of skull, but there was a curved horn on it! He looked carefully at the junction between the horn and the skull, there were tiny cracks at the bottom of the horns, but it was strong and combined with the skull, and Zhao Nan didn't move it after breaking it a few times, they were one!
This island once had horned monsters with wings on their heads!
Things got more complicated, and he carefully scratched the ground with his hands, and the bones were soon covered with dirt and weeds, and they returned to their original shapes.
Zhao Nan got up and wanted to walk in the direction of the flash fire just now. Through the densely pressed foliage, he could see that there was a few more fires flickering, and there seemed to be a lot of people, and they could already faintly hear the sound of people talking.
At the edge of the forest was a large, smooth stone wall, and at this moment, in the middle of the stone wall was a black hole, from which the fire came from.
The voice came: "This batch of goods is good, and the appearance and body are good." ”
"Hehe, it's a little cub."
"I heard that that kid is a guest of the Li family, we won't get into trouble, right?"
"It's okay, if you can't do it, you can still go to the island if you kill and bury it, and the people of the Li family can still come to the island? You are too timid, you have followed the boss for so many years, who have we been afraid of? "The two men came out of the hole with torches, and they were carrying a cloth bag with a black bottom, and as they walked, something was dripping.
Zhao Nan clenched his fists, he knew what was dripping, whether it was blood, or hot fresh blood, I don't know if this has anything to do with the seventh day of the first month? The guest of the Li family should be talking about the seventh day of the first month.
"It's really troublesome, and it has to be buried, and it's not better to just throw it away and feed the wolves."
The two men walked into the forest, muttering as they went.
"Just this arm and leg, digging a hole is not a matter of blinking, you are really too lazy to have maggots in your ass."
The two men put down the cloth bag and began to dig a hole.
They are all men in the prime of life, with great strength and fast movements. They quickly dug a pit, threw the cloth bag down, filled the soil, and one person patted the soil on his hands and smiled: "If this thing is buried, I don't know if it can grow a few, haha, the ground is full of arms and legs, it must be very beautiful." ”
The two of them staggered back, entered the entrance of the cave, and I don't know what mechanism they had at will, the cave was like a huge clam shell, and with a bang, the stone walls on both sides closed.
Zhao Nan saw that there was no movement around, so he walked over cautiously, reached out and grabbed it a few times, revealing the cloth bag in the pit.
He had already guessed what was inside from the words of the two men, but he still untied the bag and poured it on the ground, and two arms, one thigh, seemed to be the arms and legs of a child! There is also a red rope hanging on a thin arm, which shows that the child's parents love this child very much, and specially begged for a red rope from the temple to tie him, but this child, who is loved by his family, has his arm cut off!
Zhao Nan picked up this small arm and looked at it carefully, the wound was neat, and the bones were flat as if he was peeling tofu.
Obviously, it was the arms of two people, because they were both left hands, and the small hands were cold, like the hands of a five or six-year-old child.
Someone on this island brutally cut off a child's arms and legs! What are they trying to do?
Zhao Nan can conclude that the two people who came out just now are human beings, such as fake people, why are they so cruel? What's really going on on this desert island? Baidu: Read the latest chapter of "Unjust Ghost Contract Literature" for free for the first time.
