Chapter 134: Man-Swallowing Island (13)
"Have you all heard the story of the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong? It's that people fall in love with the gods, and in the end they are not ashamed to live together, but this kind of story has no good results for us. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
How can humans and immortals be together? It's like the rich man can't marry his daughter to us poor people.
Therefore, mortals who dare to hook up with immortals have been punished, they have become extremely ugly, not human or ghost, they have become monsters in the eyes of people, and they will be scolded and ridiculed by others wherever they go, let alone the person they talk to.
These monsters can only stay away from the crowd and live alone in the wilderness.
Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, a monster came to Laitou Island to escape the world.
At that time, Laitou Island didn't have a name, and it was because there was such a monster on the island that it got such an ugly name.
It is said that when the monster and the fairy lover fled for their lives, they were betrayed and denounced by their best friend, and then they were unfortunately caught. So he hated the betrayer to the core, and vowed to hang the villain who betrayed his friend on a tree, dry it and eat it......"
"So disgusting?!" Wu Cuo frowned and said, "First mate, then you have to be careful." β
He was still angry about the fact that the first mate left everyone to run for his life, which was definitely a betrayal, and the first mate had to shut up.
Yan Ruyu accosted: "Coincidentally, I found a post on the Internet before I came, which is about this legend. β
"Posts? Is this thing reliable? Wu said wrongly.
"Don't really say it, Lao Wu, it's the same as you think, it's not reliable at all."
"Why?"
"Because the time of posting was exactly two days after the incident, and the title also stated Laitou Island, it seems to be sent specifically to us. First mate, do you think the person who posted it will be the murderer? Even if it's not a murderer, at least it means to mislead us with legends......"
Yan Ruyu didn't get an answer from the first mate.
He looked back and saw that there was already nothing behind him.
"First mate?"
No response.
Wu Cuo also stopped.
He ...... Ran away? Yan Ruyu couldn't figure it out.
Wu mistakenly punched the tree next to him.
"Grandma's! This kid is really not simple! Where can he run? Will you go on a raft by yourself? β
"Impossible," Yan Ruyu shook his head, "What's the difference between going to sea on a raft and committing suicide?" That's what a fool does! β
Wu put up a pergola with his wrong hand and looked around: "Then what now?" To chase or not to chase? β
"Where do people chase a cat in the woods?" Yan Ruyu stretched out his hand and pointed forward, "Let's continue, the target hangs the corpse at the scene, regardless of him, the island is a natural prison, want to run?" Difficult! β
Walking in the jungle is very physically demanding, and at first the two of them talk and discuss the case, and after a long time, only the sound of snoring and panting remains.
Wu Cuo is okay, Yan Ruyu, a physically difficult household, almost collapsed.
When the two finally arrived at the scene of the hanging corpse, Yan Ruyu sat on the ground with his ass, held the kettle and poured a small half pot into it, choking and coughing violently for a while.
Wu Cuo took the kettle, drank it in small sips for a while, and suddenly smiled.
"Boss Yan, the first time I saw you, I wasn't interested in the scene."
"No, I'm very interested here," Yan Ruyu stood up with a breath and circled around the three trees where the corpses were hung, "I have never understood why the murderer hung the corpse on the tree.
Boss Yan, let me ask you, if you were the murderer, what would you do with these corpses? β
"Of course, it was thrown into the sea, as long as the corpse was fed to the fish, there was no proof of death."
"This is strange, even you can think of it, the murderer can't think of it, so what is his purpose in hanging the body on the tree?"
"Will it ...... It was not the murderer who hung the body on the tree, but someone else...... Also, what do you mean that even I can think that I recruited you to provoke you?! β
Yan Ruyu was amused for a moment and continued to say seriously: "Okay, now let's assume that someone hung the body on a tree for some purpose, and this person - or these people - could be the murderer, or other stakeholders related to this case.
I think we have to figure out why we did it so that we can see who did it.
Lao Wu, I have to say, this case is really interesting. β
Wu Cuo climbed to the tree and said while observing: "There are a few scratches on the tree, and there are broken branches, but it is too messy, and it is impossible to guess the situation on the tree at that time." β
At this time, Yan Ruyu shouted from thirty meters away: "Old Wu! Come and see! What is it? β
"It's coming!"
Wu Cuo came down from the tree and ran over to take a closer look at the trunk that Yan Ruyu was pointing to. There was a straight scar on the trunk.
"Cut out with a knife!" Wu Cuo gave a conclusion.
"Are you sure? Not a beast? Yan Ruyu was skeptical.
"Sure. There are no beasts like lions, tigers and bears on this small island, and it is difficult for other small and medium-sized beasts to leave such deep traces, andβ"
Wu Cuo's gaze suddenly focused into the distance, and then, he lunged forward, pressing Yan Ruyu to the ground and covering his mouth with one hand.
Yan Ruyu only felt a sharp pain in his chest from Wu Cuo's elbow, and almost cried out.
"Shhh
Wu Cuo made a few vocal gestures, Yan Ruyu nodded with a bitter face, and Wu Cuo let go of the hand holding Yan Ruyu.
Following Wu Cuo's line of sight, Yan Ruyu saw that about sixty or seventy meters away, several people came out of the bushes.
"I'll go! Old Wu! Clairvoyance, you! β
Although he didn't say this, he fully expressed it with his eyes.
When those people got closer, the two found that the first mate was tied up with five flowers, and was pushed forward.
It seems that this cowardly was captured not long after he escaped.
"You said those two strips would come here, people?" The first man came to the first mate and asked in a loud voice.
The first mate was about to cry, "I really didn't lie!" Those two policemen went ashore with me, big brother spares his life! I'm a hard sailor! I don't know anything......"
Smack-
The leader slapped the first mate and shut up, and then ordered his subordinates: "Check the surroundings, find me a place to ambush, and kill them directly when the strips come, and leave no one behind!" β
Several people quickly disappeared into the surrounding woods.
Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo gasped.
These people ...... Is Nima the grass coward who is the king of the mountain? Or...... Are they the murderers of the nine?
Not counting the first mate, there are 5 people on the other side, each of whom has a knife pinned to his waist, and two of them also have a half-meter-long mountain knife in their hands, and the person at the head has a bulging pocket in his pocket, which is suspected to be a gun.
It's hard to deal with! Wu Cuo estimated in his heart. Fortunately, the first mate does not seem to be in danger of life for the time being.
It seemed that they could only wait until it was dark, and only under the cover of night could the two of them escape from the enemy's squatting circle.
The wait was so long, the two of them lay motionless on their stomachs, from afternoon to dusk, enduring mosquito bites, snake and insect surprise, and gurgling bellies.
I finally waited until it got dark.
Just when the two of them had just moved their numb hands and feet, ready to quietly break through, a woman's voice came from the direction where the two came from.
"Xiaobai, I always feel that something is wrong, didn't the team leader bring a satellite phone? Why don't you get in touch with us? β
Minghui's voice!
