Chapter Twenty-Eight: Medicinal Roots
I pondered the suspicious person as I cautiously followed the trail on the ground.
Calculated by elimination, except for me and Xiaoyu, except for the two proprietresses, I must have been here more than once to see this thief, then it must be a frequent resident of this store, and things are much simpler, it is nothing more than Wu and the two people on the side of the road to choose one of the two. But from the point of view of communication, Wu is obviously the kind of person with a sunny smile all day long, how can I not associate him with a thief, although he is not in tune with the side of the road, but he can't sentence the other party to death from the other party's indecent behavior, after all, I am also an unreliable person......
Thinking about it, my head is big.,Maybe this is also a reflection of my lack of involvement in the world.,After all, I know too few people.,But fortunately, I'm out of the army.,If you don't live with that group of guys who are giggling in addition to training.,It's estimated that I will have to become a simple-minded person with developed limbs.。
While I was thinking about it, I also followed the footprints to the utility room at the back of the living room, the room was not large, the dilapidated furniture was placed irregularly, and on the ground on the side of the wall opened a door that looked like it led to the basement.
As soon as I committed this dark phobia, I was actually scared into a cold sweat, but somehow I took the first step down the stairs.
I promise, I swear, I didn't really think about going down, but I just walked on involuntarily, and it felt like, like somebody was calling me.
Then I immediately immersed myself in the endless darkness, and the amazing thing is that I didn't expect that I didn't bring a flashlight, just one hand on the wall and went down mechanically, I don't know how long it took, I don't know how deep I walked, but I couldn't go to the end, and I didn't dare to look back, because at this time I would rather a face suddenly appear in front of my eyes than someone patted me on the shoulder.
I wanted to think of something else to turn my attention, but I couldn't think of it, and I couldn't think of anything other than going down.
I don't know how long I walked, it seems that this endless staircase is really leading to hell, I actually relaxed a lot when I thought of this, in fact, it's good to be so relieved, but it's a pity that I didn't say hello to my grandfather, my mother and Xiaoyu, of course, it doesn't matter, and who has an accident can tell me in advance not to say: Hey, buddy, I'm going to be hit by a car in a while, you inform my daughter-in-law, don't go to deal with Lao Wang next door, that kid is unpalatable underneath.
When I thought about it, I realized that my mind had returned, but at this moment, I clearly felt in the darkness that something was detouring behind me in front of me, and the sound of it moving was very small, but I knew very well that I was not judging by the sound, it was just a feeling.
Immediately after making sure, Ben bent his elbow and poked back, and then heard the writhing sound of a footstep behind him, and it seemed that he had dodged my attack, and just as I raised my leg sideways to attack with my knee, he kept his hand on my shoulder.
Ghost Shoulder......
My mind was blank for a few seconds, and when my tears were about to burst out of my eyes and prepare to go limp, a familiar voice appeared in my ear: "Xiao Wu, hurry up and take Jiang Jun down, it seems that his momentum has just passed, otherwise you may not be the opponent in a head-to-head fight!" ”
I was confused for a while, and then I saw the side of the road slowly walking over from a distance with a lantern with a strange expression, and before I could open my mouth to ask, the owner of the hand on my shoulder, Wu Qian, also turned around with a serious face.
He ignored me and instead asked the side of the road, "Don't we need to stun him?" ”
The side of the road shook his head with a sad face, and said: "Since he can withstand the illusion of the smoke of the stray smoke, and he can also interrupt your movements in the dark, he is obviously not an ordinary person, and this is not an unsightly thing, maybe Jiang Jun can have some suggestions!" ”
I listened to them talking, and although I didn't understand a word of what was going on, I felt like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and I didn't dare to interject.
After a long time, we entered a basement room, and when I saw the room, I felt like I had been struck by lightning and wanted to run through the door.
But I calmed down, tried to recover my thoughts, and tried to understand what was going on, only to see a utility table in the middle of the basement, on which lay a body stitched together by countless black threads, and a burning red candle in each of the four corners of the table.
It was horrible, and he turned his head to look at me.
I swallowed hard and foamed, and before I could ask, I spoke on the side of the road: "Jiang Jun, don't hide it, I am a wireman, and it is a very ancient profession, which originated as a military physician in the ancient spirit weapon period, but now it is basically extinct. In the oral tradition of ancient society, the lineman connected not only the body, but also the soul of the person, and it was also a common way to let the dead 'go home' in that era. Of course, this is nonsense, I was entrusted by Xiao Wu, and I hereby came here, I thought it would be good to just do some preparations before the burial, how do I know that this person has not died for seven days, and he actually moved after seeing you today. ”
I said to them, "Have you ever seen a movie, just slam it on the back of someone's head, and that person will faint, and you can do it now." ”
Wu Qian smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Jun, don't be joking, hurry up and give us an idea, I don't know how to deal with this situation now." ”
I was depressed and said, "Then I can know, eh, by the way, what do you do so well?" ”
Wu hesitated slightly, obviously not wanting to answer me, but it didn't fit the name and character, so he said, "Assassin." ”
I laughed dryly: "Killer! ”
Wu Qian shook his head: "It's an assassin, I use cold weapons, and I rely on my skills." ”
I clenched my fists: "I offended just now, and I will contact you if I have this business in the future!" ”
Wu Wen waved his hand and took it seriously: "No problem, Brother Jun, I'll give you free if you come." ”
Then I asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
I didn't wait for him to answer me, a familiar voice came from behind me, I looked back, it was Doudou who walked in with a coat, and saw her face also solemn and said: "Let me tell me, this inn of mine is a handover point for issuing a bounty order, you can understand it as a tavern in an online game, a few days ago, Xiao Wu and the people on the table were entrusted by a commission to kill a poaching leader, but this kid heard the secret conversation of this group of poachers before the assassination, saying that the hinterland of Hoh Xil has recently flashed auroras, Many poachers and explorers have seen it with their own eyes, and it is often accompanied by the appearance of such visions, so it goes without saying that there must be a treasure to be born. But I don't know why I can't go there, I can't find that place, and there are people who have a heart to inquire in many ways, and finally learned from the mouth of an old lama who rap artist that it is not a place where there are strange treasures, it is the ancient battlefield where General Nu Chi and the King of the Demon Kingdom fought in ancient times, and there is a lot of resentment, I am afraid that the demon was born. ”
Speaking of this, Doudou sighed and continued: "But people are like this, the more mysterious you say, the more people want to make a fuss!" ”
I nodded in understanding, and at the same time slapped myself more than 20 times in my heart, what do you say I came down for.
Doudou: "This kid is usually an adventure lover, of course he won't miss this kind of rumor, and it's not difficult for him to cross the no-man's land, after completing the task at the moment, he will be alone and ready to go to the place where the aurora appears to have a look, and then ......"
Wu Qian saw that Doudou didn't want to say any more, so he continued: "Then he came back after only going out for a week, and that night was about this time, when he came back, although he was covered in blood, he didn't imagine that his body would be so serious, but after a while, the split body became more and more serious, until he called Brother Ma over and was ready to deal with the aftermath for him, but he was still in this state of immortality!" ”
I took a breath of cold air and said casually, "This must be some obsession supporting him." ”
The side of the road thought: "I do hear about this, but what is it!" ”
I shook my head: "How do I know this, can I see why his body is like this?" ”
"I've checked, and although there are traces of being bitten and attacked by wild beasts, if that's the case, his body should have been decomposed at that time, why wait until now!" ”
I continued to ask: "Is it possible that it is poisonous, with the incubation period!" "I wanted to stretch out my arm to show them, but I held back.
On the side of the road, he said: "There is a possibility, but even if you know it, you can't solve it, and now his breath is getting weaker and weaker." ”
I nodded and muttered, "If only there was something that would stimulate his mind." ”
Thinking of this, I was startled, touched my body, and then took out the bottle of antidote root that the old lama had given me, and walked over to the 'corpse'.
This buddy's body is connected by dense black threads, and it seems that he has been pierced tens of thousands of times, and I still have some sympathy for him when I look at him, so I no longer hesitate, and handed the bottle of medicine root to his nose and shook it a few times.
Immediately afterwards, a hand gently grasped the hand that I had been propping up on the table, and as soon as I looked down, I heard an extremely faint voice coming from his mouth:
"Blood ......"
A few of us looked at each other, and they were shaking their heads, not knowing what this guy meant, I thought I was going to continue asking, but when I looked down, this guy had gone.
(These two chapters are extremely far-fetched, and the logic can't make sense, so let's put it like this first, and later I think of a smooth way, and I'm changing it for him.) )
