Chapter 16: Punches and Kicks
My heart instantly tugged, and the goosebumps on my arms stood up for a second. During the day, it was clearly said that there was a vigil in a snow cave, but it could not be now...... I shook my head violently, not daring to think about it anymore, and craned my neck to hold up a flashlight to shine left and right, but I didn't even see anything moving. My muscles tensed, I pulled out my gun and clenched it, my whole body went into a state of first-level alert, and I tiptoed past.
You can also hear the silent needles at the entrance of the cave, and there are many messy black human footprints and traces of people sitting on the snow that is as white as rice paper. These patterns are mixed with shoe prints of similar size, overlapping the openings, and there is no clue at all...... Before I could think about it, there was a faint grinding sound in the snow cave, like a mouse running into the hole, and like the friction of clothes and sleeping bags.
I thought of the ghosts in the daytime, and suddenly I had a plan, turned off the flashlight, walked slowly into the dark hole with the lightest steps, suppressed the wild beating of my heart, raised my gun and listened. The grinding sound in the depths of the cave became louder and louder, and I began to secretly wonder if the person squirming in the cave was a human being, otherwise how could I not even find a living person standing at the entrance of the cave?
I listened to the sound of my own heartbeat and the dull snoring of the men in the dark, and after counting three counts, I slammed the light on, and a thick beam of light shot straight into the hole, followed by the rude scolding of the black bear.
My eyes were not accustomed to the sudden bright light, and when I looked deeper into the cave with tears in my eyes, I saw everyone sitting up, rubbing their eyes and looking at me with both dazed and angry. The expressions on their faces were mostly similar, dazed and unawake, and their swollen eyes and messy hairstyles proved that the sound had nothing to do with them.
Zhang Siyuan muttered with a thick sleepiness: "What, what's wrong, there's an emergency?" ”
I said blankly: "Just now I heard the sound of rustling and rubbing in the hole, but now I ......" Before I finished speaking, my eyes caught a glimpse of the deepest deflated sleeping bag, my head buzzed, and the cold hairs on my whole body stood up, pointing at it and shouting, "There's a missing person!" ”
The black bear struggled with a carp, lifted the cover indiscriminately, and ran outside to shout loudly without even caring about putting on his clothes. Xiao Zhao's face was solemn, and he said while checking the bottom of the sleeping bag: "The person who sleeps here is the eighth child, according to our schedule, he should be keeping vigil outside." ”
I listened to the cries of the black bears outside, and the pitch became louder and louder. My heart was getting tighter and tighter, my blood was flowing faster, and my stomach was churning and turning upside down. Hearing that Wang Linshuo's side seemed to be in a mess, I couldn't bear it anymore, I jumped up as if I had been pressed a switch, grabbed Zhang Siyuan, who was still in a daze, and followed Wang Zhen's footsteps and stepped out of the door quickly, and when I raised my eyes, I saw a person kicked out of the cave in a gray way.
I hurriedly caught up, and the eighth child got up from the snow, and he didn't even care about the snow on his body, and after burying his head and curling into a ball and just walking a few steps in the direction of the black bear, he suddenly turned around and ran into the forest. The black bear shouted and pulled out his legs to chase after him, but Wang Zhen's reaction speed was much faster than him, and he flashed behind Lao Ba in a blink of an eye like lightning. There was a sound of beating in the forest, and within a few seconds, Wang Zhen put a gun on top of the old eight's head, kicking and shouting angrily: "Walk over to me!" ”
I was secretly surprised, I really didn't expect that the inner ghost was the eighth child, and I didn't expect him to commit crimes against the wind tonight. I was afraid, worried about Wang Linshuo's safety, and kept my eyes on the entrance of the cave until I saw him come out intact. Lao Ba had been pressed to the ground by the black bear, and Brother Fan and the others did not listen to his pale defense, and went up to punch and kick him, until his eyes were swollen like peaches, blood flowed from his face, and a few front teeth fell before everyone reluctantly stopped.
Biaozi found a rope, tied him to a tree, grabbed a sharp knife against his eye socket, and threatened: "If you don't recruit him from the truth, don't want the eyeballs." ”
Lao Ba's nose and face were swollen, and he kept defending: "I didn't kill Lao Liu, I am innocent ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a bullet flew past his ear, and the black bear said with a pale face: "Then I will temporarily believe that you didn't kill Lao Liu." But can you please explain, why don't you keep vigil at the entrance of the cave and burrow into another snow cave? ”
Lao Ba's face instantly became like a blank piece of paper, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He didn't dare to look at Chen Ni, who lowered his head and said nothing, and his face was white, let alone at the black bear with twisted facial features and roaring. The black bear has long run out of patience, kicking and beating and roaring, and the frightened old eight body is like sifting chaff, unable to squeeze out a word, and his pale lips are constantly trembling. I saw that he was already frightened, and he was about to faint, and it was not a way to say this, so I stepped forward and pulled the black bear aside with brute force, and said in a low voice: "This kid doesn't dare to say it in front of you, you step aside first, and we will force him." ”
The black bear gritted his teeth and glared at Lao Ba fiercely, turned his back and walked under a tree. Biao Zi stepped forward and kicked and scolded: "Head away, hurry up and tell everything you know!" ”
Blood dripped from Lao Ba's nostrils into his mouth, staining his pale lips with a hint of color. He spat out some blood mixed with broken teeth, and said indistinctly: "Do you believe me when I said that I really didn't kill Lao Liu?" ”
Brother Fan's eyes flickered slightly, and there was an unknown emotion in his eyes. Xiao Zhao sneered and said: "Murderer, the favorite thing that rapists like to say is that I really didn't do it, clear the suspicion, who wouldn't?" ”
Lao Ba lowered his head and whispered regretfully: "Before Zhang Xuan was on duty, I quietly got up and hid in the woods. Because I was hiding relatively hidden, he didn't notice me, and even thought I was lost, and tiptoed towards our snow cave. I wanted to jump out and scare him, but it occurred to me that the woman must be sleeping soundly at the moment......"
As soon as he said this, Chen Ni suddenly stood up like a lioness, his eyes widened, and he rushed forward at a lightning speed, raising his hand and slapping him. Lao Ba's already swollen cheeks are now even more swollen, red and shiny, like a pig's head in a butcher's shop. I didn't even realize why she was suddenly angry for a while, but Wang Zhen's face instantly turned from red to white. He scolded fiercely, rushed up and grabbed him by the collar, gritted his teeth and punched twice at his stomach, glaring at blood-red eyes and roaring, "You're really not a thing!" ”
Wang Linshuo pulled him away expressionlessly and persuaded: "It's not good if your hand is swollen." Ignoring the old man's plea for mercy, he walked up to the black bear and whispered a few words in his ear. Suddenly, the black bear swept over like a violent hurricane, he exuded the smell of blood, his eyes were exposed, his green tendons were exposed, and he grabbed the old eight's neck, lifting him from the ground like a chicken, and the rope that tied the old eight made a terrible tense sound.
Lao Ba's legs and hands kept struggling, his face became as red as the pork liver in the store, and he opened his mouth in vain but couldn't make any sound. I saw that his eyes were gradually protruding a little, and I was alarmed, but I didn't want to be strangled to death, so I couldn't ask for more. I hurriedly stepped on the arm of the black bear and persuaded him, "Forget it, don't strangle it, it's not done yet." If you really hate it, you can torture it slowly. ”
Zhang Siyuan and I took turns to persuade him, and then he broke the black bear's iron-like arm, and it took a lot of effort to break his hand off Lao Ba's neck. Lao Ba panted like a cow, coughed repeatedly, his chest rose and fell violently, and his face was already a little dead and pale. If we had been a few minutes late, he would have had to follow the black and white impermanence.
The black bear forcibly suppressed the anger, bit his lip stubbornly, walked to Chen Ni's side and said stiffly: "You...... You okay? ”
Chen Ni shook his head and stroked his heart and said, "It's nothing, it's just a big start." She took a deep breath and said, "I can't tell him clearly because his nose is blue and his face is swollen, and his mouth is full of blood, so let me tell you what happened." ”
She said slowly: "When I was half asleep, I felt as if a person had entered Zhang Xuan's sleeping bag next to me. I thought he was coming back from the night, so I didn't think much about it, turned over and went back to sleep. But my sleeping bag was slowly lifted, and a large, cold hand reached in and slowly stroked my back. At that moment, my hairs stood on end, and I turned over and was about to scream, but the icy and shiny tip of the knife was already pointed at my forehead.
His big, disgusting hairy hands continued to swim downstream, and I pushed them away with all my sufficiency as I moved my brain quickly to think of a solution. Just as his hand was about to touch the wrong place, he heard the black bear scream louder than the other. His body began to shake violently, and his hand jerked back as if it were electrocuted. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief at this, and the black bear's face softened. Wang Linshuo stroked his forehead in shame and said, "It's also to blame that I slept too dead, and I didn't hear any movement." If I had heard the slightest movement, I would have kicked the waste to the ground. ”
The thought of the eighth child getting into my sleeping bag and pretending to be me doing something bad ignited and my anger raged. Thanks to Chen Ni's bright eyes, otherwise I would have jumped into the Yellow River tonight and wouldn't have been able to wash it off. But the black bear was still angry, his lips were still pale, his fists were shaking, and he jumped up like a Muay Thai fighter and punched him hard in the stomach. The eighth child screamed sharply and bitterly, his facial features twisted into a ball like a wet towel, and pain dripped down his face. He let out a loud retching sound and jerked his head down and spat out a large puddle of vomit mixed with blood.
