Chapter 41: The Deal Behind the Scenes

Silver masks? Wu Fugui's remarks reminded us of the mask we hold in our hands. Liu Da crooked his mouth and told us that there are six silver masks in total, corresponding to the six protectors of the demon beasts, if there is no mistake in judgment, the half that Wu Fugui found floating out of the underground of the Yellow River is also one of them.

"What's so peculiar about that half?" The old bustard asked.

Wu Fugui thought for a while and said, "There is only half of it, so I won't describe it very clearly, but I can still see that the pattern on it looks like a human face, wrinkled and striped, like an old woman's face." ”

The bustard and I both reacted, and that half of the mask should be the one that belonged to the Charm Woman.

The bustard continued, "Where is the mask?" I'm going to see. ”

Wu Fugui lowered his head: "I, I sold it." ”

"Sold? Who did you sell to? ”

"The one from the Buddha's Hand."

Lao Bustard and I seemed to be in a trance after hearing this, it seems that this Wu Fugui and that spy really have an unsavory deal behind them.

I answered, "Did you make any deal with him?" ”

Wu Fugui didn't dare to look at the two of us, and it took a long time before he told the truth:

At first, Wu Fugui got the half of the mask, and planned to go to the county seat to find a place to sell it to get some oil and water. At that time, the spies of the Buddha's Hand Society found him, and he opened his mouth to bid 500 yuan to buy this half of the mask, Wu Fugui had never seen so much money, so he naturally accepted it with joy, and the money for his new house came from this money. At first, he thought that the spy was just an antique dealer on the black market, but later, after he noticed something strange on his leg, the agent appeared again, and the agent showed himself to be from the Buddha's Hand Society, and told him that this bug was deadly, and if he was not controlled, he would die in ten days, so the agent expressed his willingness to control the parasitic speed of the skin mantis for him, and as a condition, he only needed to strictly guard the news of the half mask. Wu Fugui agreed, so the spy began to provide him with some medicine. At first, the medicine was not what it is now, and it was changed all the time, with syringes and dressings, until the last two weeks, when it was replaced with the black powder that I now have in my hand. Wu Fugui said that the black powder has the most obvious medicinal effect.

I listened and fell into deep thought. If Wu Fugui is telling the truth. The so-called transaction proceeded more from Wu Fugui, that is, he got the money and medicine to control his injuries, while the Buddha's Hand Society only seemed to get that half of the mask. In this way, it seems that the Buddha's hand has already achieved their goal after obtaining the mask, but why should they provide him with medicine to suppress the parasitism of the skin mantis?

It seems to me that there is more to the deal behind this than that.

The old bustard saw that Wu Fugui had explained all the facts, and he had no hostility, so he let go of his hand a little. At this time, the old bustard cared more about the medicine, so he asked Wu Fugui: "What about those medicines?" ”

Wu Fugui was stunned: "What are you asking for?" ”

The bustard pointed at me: "This friend of mine was also parasitic on his leg by this worm, and he needs to borrow some medicine to slow down." ”

Wu Fugui suddenly panicked: "No, I rely on this to continue my life, the person from the Buddha's Hand Club originally gave me less medicine, but this time the order was not done, and he told the whole thing, I don't know what he will do with me, no, I am very unhappy to hear it, my medicine is so ordered, and it must not be taken away." ”

The old bustard just wanted to repeat the old trick of threatening with a knife, but at this time, he heard a sound of air flow in his ears, and then the candle suddenly went out without warning!

The whole room was plunged into darkness. The old bustard was a little confused, and hurriedly grabbed Wu Fugui's collar again and said don't move, and then asked me to go and make a fire and light the candle.

Strange to say, although the windows were open, the wind outside had long since stopped, and now I could only feel the cold snap that flowed slowly, and there was not half a gust of wind. So how did the candle go out?

I didn't have time to think about it either, so I got up and went to get the candles. Due to the habit of lighting the lamps all night at night, there was suddenly no fire in the middle of the night, and my vision was a little slow, and I could only vaguely see the outlines of some things.

I fumbled for a while to find a match, struck one, covered it with my hand, and lit the candle, and the room was bright again, and I don't know why, the flame of the candle was much smaller than before, and only emitted a faint light.

When I looked closely, it turned out that the wick on the top was broken in half, which made the flame much smaller.

I said: No!

I caught a glimpse of the wall behind the candlestick, only to see a thumb-sized dart inserted into it at some point! That's when I realized: someone threw a dart and extinguished the candle's fire!

I was just about to talk to the bustard about this, when I suddenly heard the bustard say, "Strange! The cut-skin mantis is gone! ”

I looked down, but I saw that the skin mantis parasitic on Wu Fugui's thigh had disappeared, leaving only the deep flesh hole. It's a blur of flesh and blood! The slimy and visible degree of decay has seeped into the flesh! From the inside, I can clearly see the nerves and subtle blood vessels that have been deformed by it for a long time!

"Xu Xuan, be careful, that skin cutting mantis seems to have crawled out!"

At this time, I found that Wu Fugui was motionless, his eyes were wide, the whites of his eyes seemed to occupy the entire eye socket, the expression on his face seemed to be very painful, and it was strange that it looked like it was solidified, and his muscles did not twitch at all.

My right eyelid started to jump hard.

At this time, the clothes on Wu Fugui's abdomen suddenly bulged, slowly getting bigger and bigger, and finally it was the size of a fist, and it was constantly moving, as if there was something inside that was about to break out of the cocoon!

The old bustard couldn't help but lift the clothes covered on his head, and then by the firelight, we saw that Wu Fugui's belly was bulging as big and transparent as a pig's urine bubble at this time, and we could even see something yellow-brown swimming around.

I realized something was wrong. Hurriedly shouted to the bustard: "Be careful! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a bang, and Wu Fugui's belly burst with a bang! The intestines are flowing out!
