Chapter 276: "The Fruit" (Chapter 2)
Seeing this, I shook my hand and subconsciously threw the two cabbages in my hand, and with a crisp sound of "pop", the cabbage fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.
At this time, I suddenly saw some pale red liquid slowly overflowing from the cabbage that had been thrown off the ground, although there was not much liquid, but the smell of blood was extremely strong.
"Shen Xu, what kind of dish did you buy? Amaranth? It doesn't look like it......" The Dead Apostle leaned over the window, sniffed, and then said, "Could this be the thing you said yesterday that was grown by some kind of blood farmer?!" ”
I frowned, "I don't know, but there's a good chance it's that thing." ”
"Could it be that you just went out to find the woman who told you about the blood farmer?" Yaolong said on the side, afraid that the two cabbages that fell on the ground would be harmful to people, so he hurriedly kicked them aside with his foot.
Who knows, the cabbage that had already been broken apart was kicked by Yaolong and shattered into pieces, and an object that looked like a potato, but was as red as blood, fell out of it. The object was the size of a fist and rolled into the corner.
"That'......" I kept my eyes fixed on what had fallen out of the cabbage as I walked slowly towards the corner. As I got closer, the smell of blood became more pungent. At this time, Yaolong said to me behind me, "Be careful, that thing will not be poisonous." ”
I walked to the corner and gently touched the red mass of potatoes with my toes, which was soft to the touch and a little elastic, a bit like the texture of meat.
"It's like a piece of meat......" I said.
Just when I was confused, Li Zhisheng and Hu Fang happened to wake up, and they saw that I was nervously stretching out my feet, trying to find something in the corner, and the posture looked a little funny.
"Shen Xu, what are you practicing? I was still in the middle of the morning and fell into evil. Li Zhisheng rubbed his eyes and said.
Hearing this, I put my foot back and told everyone what had just happened. After listening, Li Zhisheng said: "It doesn't look like this is a trap set by Yangshi's people." ”
"I think so too, and I think that the old man just now is very likely to have a lot to do with the middle-aged woman before, after all, he was very sad when he talked about the death of the woman's son, if it was just a neighbor or an outsider who had this kind of thing, it would definitely not be so......"
Speaking of this, I pondered for a while, and thought to myself, could it be that this old man is a relative of the middle-aged woman? But they didn't look like relatives before.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and at the same time I looked at the red object in the corner, it was still in the corner, and it didn't change in any way, it didn't look like it would suddenly become something harmful.
At this time, Hu Fang, who had not spoken, sighed and asked me curiously: "So, the red thing in the corner of the wall is that fruit?" Is it tasty? ”
After listening, I didn't say a word, but reached out and knocked on the door of her head, and said, "Are you sleeping, it's something grown by dead people, do you say it's delicious?!" ”
But Li Zhisheng encouraged Hu Fang on the side and said: "Hu Fang, don't listen to Shen Xu's nonsense, have you ever heard of ginseng fruit?" It seems that the ginseng fruit is said to be grown from living people, why don't you try it? Maybe you can stay young forever! ”
After Hu Fang listened to what I said, his head was already shaking like a rattle, where could he still listen to Li Zhisheng's words.
"Don't interrupt, now get down to business, can you two stop joking." Because my train of thought was interrupted by Hu Fang and Li Zhisheng's jokes, I didn't know where to start for a while, so I had no choice but to ask the Dead Apostle: "What do you think about this matter?" ”
The Dead Apostle didn't care about the joke just now, he looked at the cabbage leaves that had been kicked and broken on the ground, and then looked at the fruit in the corner of the wall that looked like flesh and said: "This is indeed not like the style of the Yangshi, if the Yangshi want to assassinate us, there is no need to be so troublesome, and if they set up a game for you in the vegetable market, it means that they already know where we live, and they can directly rely on force, so to speak......"
Seeing the Dead Apostle pause, I probably knew what he meant, so I took his words and said, "In this case, this matter should definitely have nothing to do with the Yangshi, but could it have something to do with another onizuka?" Or will it find a clue to the next onizuka because of this? ”
The Dead Apostle shook his head, "It's not clear, but since there's a clue that exists right now, there's no reason not to investigate." ”
"Well, now that it's decided, I'll go to the old man again and see if I can find out ......where this blood peasant is from his mouth again," I said, turning around to leave.
Li Zhisheng said, "I'll go with you, maybe I can help you." ”
I thought about it, it's okay, two people are better than one. So, I nodded and agreed, and went out with Li Zhisheng. Before leaving, I instructed the Dead Apostles to wait for news at home, and not to leave the house before being discovered by the Yangshi.
After that, Li Zhisheng and I sped up all the way to the vegetable market, and when I found the old man's stall again, I found that he was gone, and his vegetable stall was well placed on the ground.
"What about people?" I kept looking around.
"Could it be that you are misremembering?" Li Zhisheng asked.
I said with certainty: "Impossible, this is the third time I've been here, and it's been a three-time visit, how can I remember wrong." As I spoke, I looked at the vegetable baskets in front of me, and saw that the pale red liquid was slowly flowing from the bottom of one of the baskets.
However, due to the smell of the market itself, the bloody smell of pork and beef had long since masked the bloody smell of the liquid spilling under the basket.
"Look, that's it." I whispered, letting Li Zhisheng look at the bottom of the basket.
"I also see ...... this," Li Zhisheng replied: "But what about people? ”
"I want to know too......" At this time, I saw a young man next to me, squatting in front of his vegetable stall and playing with his mobile phone.
Seeing this, I hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Eh, boss, please ask ......?"
When the young man saw that there was a guest, he hurriedly put down his mobile phone, greeted him with a smile and said, "It's coming, what do you want to buy?" ”
"I'm sorry, I wanted to ask you something."
"What's the matter, you say." The young man was not in the least unhappy, and replied cheerfully.
"I want to ask, where is the owner of this stall, you know?"
The young man thought for a while, and while scratching his neck, he said, "He seems to have left half an hour ago, and he doesn't know where he went, and he hasn't come back now, could it be that he has gone home in a hurry......
