Chapter 40: The Cruel Wang Zhe
"You go in first." I pushed Kong Xian and told him to go ahead, then handed the candle over. When I entered the cave, I called out the insects that had followed me with a book, and then sealed the hole with a little bit of earth.
Kong Xian tore off the black cloth on his head and gasped twice, looking like he was holding it back.
"Where did this go?" I asked, and then followed Kong Xian and crawled forward.
Kong Xian replied in front: "The direction is towards the back of Wang Qing's house, where the specific exit is, I don't know, I have to climb out and talk about it." ”
The passage was not long, and we tossed around in it for about two minutes, and an opening appeared in front of us that we could climb up.
It was dawn and the sky was already slightly bright. The warm breath of the mountains and the fragrance of the earth, grass and trees, just for a moment, let us relax a lot after a night of tossing. The moment I climbed out of the cave and saw the sun, all the fear in my heart was dissipated.
This is a steep slope behind Wang Qing's house, and it is about half a mile to go around to the village chief's house. We didn't have time to stop and rest, and the wounds on Kong Xian's face and body didn't have time to be treated, so we only drank two sips of dew on the artichoke leaves next to us, and hurried to the village chief's house.
As we approached the house, we slowed down and did our job of concealing ourselves in case we were attacked by people hiding inside the house.
After only about five minutes of walking, we were back at the village chief's house. But when I opened the door of the inner room, I was stunned!
It was a mess as if there was a battle, and there was no shadow of Mo Zhanchen and them, only a corpse lying on the ground. I don't know who this corpse is, but it's likely to be Xiang Boss's men.
"What should I do?" I turned my head and asked Kong Xian.
He was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "Let's be careful, the old fox Xiang Boss must still be alive, Mo Ranchen and they may have escaped, or they may have fallen into his hands." We'll find a way to find their place and then make plans. ”
"I don't believe Mo Zhanchen will fall into their hands."
I said casually, but Kong Xian glanced at me, looked speechless, and replied: "Don't engage in some personal worship, the boss is well-equipped and has a lot of manpower, Mo Zhanchen still has a deer and seventeen two burdens, what do you think are the chances of winning?" ”
"It's over." My heart tightened suddenly, "Boss Xiang originally wanted to kill Seventeen, but if it really fell into his hands, he would die." ”
Kong Xian nodded, carefully studied the situation in this room, and analyzed: "It seems that they have experienced a fight, and there are inward footprints on the window, indicating that those people came in through the window. Let's be careful to find the inside of this house first, it stands to reason that the village chief's house is already in the best condition, and since the boss is back, it is impossible to find a place to settle again. Beware of ambushes. ”
I nodded in response, and went out to carefully search each room, Kong Xian was on the left and I was on the right, and I would listen to the movement inside first when I went to ensure that it was absolutely safe before opening the door.
I searched for a long time without any improvement, and it was not until I got to the door of the firewood room that I heard some trivial sounds, which were very subtle, and at first I thought they were rats. I listened carefully for a few more moments before I dared to open the door and enter.
The people inside were startled by the sudden opening of the door by me, and almost instantly flashed behind the water tank in the corner. I was also very frightened, and the knife in my hand was clenched tightly, for fear that a gun would poke out in a moment.
"Come out, I'm not going to kill you, be honest." I didn't dare to step forward, so I stood by the door and shouted.
After two seconds of silence, I saw that the man actually stood up slowly. After he stood up, I realized that it was a fawn!
He rushed over and hugged me, almost crying. I soothed his back and asked him what was going on.
He trembled for a long time before he said, "There are monsters here, who will turn into humans, and we fell for his trick." In an emergency, Brother Chen took Seventeen and I and got separated. I don't dare to go anywhere else, so I'm hiding here waiting for you to come back. ”
"What does it mean to be human?" Kong Xian heard our voice and walked over as well.
"It's what it looks like a human!" The fawn was a little anxious, and he couldn't say why.
I waved my hand to ask Kong Xian not to ask first, and then asked Xiaolu: "Are Mo Ranchen and Seventeen safe now?" ”
Xiaolu nodded and said, "It should be safe, Brother Chen will be fine if he is so powerful." ”
Kong Xian shook his head when he heard this, glanced at me, turned around and said as he walked out: "Just like you, you know how to engage in personality cults. ”
I shook my shoulders and followed him out with the fawn.
The whole village was bleak and desolate, and it was autumn again, and the wind swept up some withered yellow leaves, and the people who watched it were particularly sad.
At this time, I suddenly found that there were several dark shadows at the head of the village, and they didn't know what to do. I touched Kong Xian with my elbow, and then took a little bit of the position of the black shadows for him to look over.
The location where we are can be said to be just right, not out of the gate of the village chief's house, there is a visual gap in this location. We can see the activities of those dark shadows, but the people over there can't see us.
"It's supposed to be the boss's person."
As soon as Kong Xian finished speaking, Xiaolu suddenly pulled the corner of my clothes and pointed in the other direction to show me. That direction happened to be the direction of Wang Qing's house, and the deer didn't know what to see, and trembled, and shrank straight to me.
I followed his hand and looked over there, only to see that there was still a person squatting over there. He was unkempt and wore a black and gray jacket, and he looked like a vagabond.
"Have you seen him?" I asked the fawn softly.
The fawn was speechless for a long time, and it took a long time to tremble in my ear and say, "He's not a human, he's a monster." ”
I was about to ask the fawn why he said that, when suddenly I saw the homeless man lying in the middle of the road like touching porcelain. At the same time, the sneaky figures at the head of the village also saw this homeless man.
There were three of them, and they cautiously approached the homeless man with their guns in hand. When I saw that there was still a person standing at the head of the village, dressed in blood-red and blackened clothes, who else could it be if it wasn't Xiang Boss?
He, like a few of us, watched the three men and the homeless man in silence.
The three men approached, but the homeless man did not move. They stabbed them with their guns and said a few more threatening words, but the homeless man remained motionless as if he were dead.
At this time, a bold one squatted down to probe his breath. But as soon as the hand was placed under his nose, the homeless man suddenly jumped up, bit the man's neck, and tore off a large piece of flesh in an instant. At the same time, his body was like a chameleon, and the small pieces of his skin were tumbling, slowly turning into a state of blackening all over his body.
The other two men came to their senses and raised their guns to shoot at him. But he was extremely fast, moving like a leopard, and dodging all the bullets with a few dodges. Then he quickly rushed to the two men, and before they could come to their senses, one hand had already pierced the neck of one of them, and the other was bitten by the throat by him.
I didn't have time to react, Kong Xian had already dragged me and Xiaolu into the firewood room, and then sealed the door and window.
"This guy is really haunted." Kong Xian muttered to himself, he should be talking about the bum-like monster.
I asked blankly, "Do you know him?" ”
Kong Xian replied in a low voice: "I don't know him, but I know his old-fashioned handmade cloth shoes!" ”
I shuddered when I heard this, and then suddenly remembered Wang Shuyang I saw in the iron cage, so I guessed in a low voice, "It may be Wang Zhe." ”
"Wang Zhe?" Kong Xian said suspiciously: "Why do you say that? ”
"Wang Shuyang's body features are exactly the same as his, a layer of black scale-like things, wrapped around the bones. If I'm not mistaken, this is the change recorded in Wang Qing's book, Wang Zhe and Wang Shuyang. ”
After hearing what I said, Kong Xian pondered for a moment and said, "If this is really the case, then the craniotomy may be able to kill him." ”
I shook my head and smiled bitterly: "It's unrealistic, we can't catch him, you see my hands." As I spoke, I handed my hand to Kong Xian and asked him to see the wound I had been scratched when I broke Wang Shuyang's chin, "The black layer on their bodies, I don't know what kind of substance it is, is very sharp, and it will cut a hand when you touch it." And the thing was so hard that it felt like iron, and it was probably hard to cut through with a knife. ”
"Does he have a mind?" Kong Xian patted Xiaolu's shoulder and asked him.
Xiaolu nodded and replied: "There should be, he is very smart, knowing that others have weapons in their hands and can't be tough, he will pretend to be a person in distress to attract the attention of others." And he can also speak, we fell for his trick at the time, but fortunately, Brother Chen's quick reaction allowed us to escape from the disaster. ”
"Since he has thinking, he should still be that Wang Zhe." I said suspiciously: "However, Wang Zhe is a healer, so he shouldn't be such a murderer." ”
"Nope." Kong Xian denied: "Just because he has thinking doesn't mean that he is still Wang Zhe, otherwise Wang Shuyang and Wang Qing wouldn't want to kill him, and Wang Qing wouldn't have killed Wang Shuyang." Mutation does not deprive people of their wisdom, but more of their emotions. And he also witnessed the tragic deaths of Wang Shuyang and Wang Qing. ”
"So what do we do now?" I asked helplessly: "Do you want to play the emotional card and communicate with him?" ”
"Communicate, you big-headed ghost." Kong Xian slapped me on the back of the head and scolded: "If you want to communicate with you, I promise to help you find a luxurious crematorium, and then bury it in Babaoshan, Beijing, so that you can live a life with a house in Beijing." ”
", you you, you want to!" I was so angry that I couldn't wait to stomp my feet, "Now unless I can find all three things, see what Mu Tong left behind, and whether he can deal with Wang Zhe." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the fawn suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, that's right! Then he took something out of his pants pocket and handed it to me.
