Chapter 16: Man-Eating Rats
In the vast desert, Jacob's desire to find the turtledove and the worm is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, he didn't know that the turtledove was going to take the worm to the mouse city, and thought that Li Jinshan sent someone to pick up the leak, so he led the convoy to return to the pigpen city to ask the teacher for guilt.
The Broncos snatched the supplies they needed and happily continued to be their own desert ghosts; Turtledove rescues the insect and is taking her to the city of rats; Jacob was empty of money and was furious to find trouble with Li Jinshan.
Li Jinshan, he sat firmly in the pigpen walled city, waiting for Jacob to come to the door, - the Bronco Gang did release the news by himself, but Jacob had no evidence; As for the turtledove that rescued the insects, Li Jinshan could have asked Jacob to turn over the pigpen city to find it, because they were not here.
In this way, why should he worry about Jacob, this is a pigpen city, not his wolf's den, even if Jacob wants to lose his temper, he has to weigh it.
These are where Li Jinshan's confidence lies.
The water has been muddy enough, and it will not be long before it will be possible to see if there are fish in this puddle of water, at that time, it is the best time for Li Jinshan to make a move, and now, it is just to pave the way for the future.
He's such an old fox.
……
At nightfall the next day, the turtledove finally arrived outside the mouse city with the worm.
When Hannibal was young, his reputation in the land outside the law was not very good, and he could even be called "notorious", and most of the reason for this was that he loved to eat people.
It's not the kind of rhetorical device that describes someone's brutality, he really eats people, and it's not the barbaric way of eating alive, but quite elegant, careful, and serious to eat people, it should be said that he completely treats people as a cooking material.
Hence the name "man-eater".
Later, Hannibal's power expanded and he swept away the ruins of a city and killed all the humanoids that lived there, some say that it was clean, but in any case, the city of rats was built on the ruins of the city.
There are many entrances to the Mouse City, and there are levels at each entrance, and there are not many people in charge of the guard task, after all, those who dare to come to the Mouse City to make trouble must prepare to become food in advance, in fact, most people will never and do not want to make this kind of preparation.
"Squeak."
Turtledove's motorcycle stopped in front of the roadblock, and he rode on his motorcycle for a whole day and a night with the worm on his back, without even drinking saliva in between, but only taking the time to feed the worm some water and pills, so that he would be so hungry that he could only see a person walking towards him.
"Turtledove?"
Hearing that the voice of the person who came was somewhat familiar, Ikaruga immediately realized that he knew this person, but he was so tired that he didn't say a word, and the whole person tilted to the side, rolled off the motorcycle, and fell to the ground, causing the other party to exclaim.
……
The turtledove didn't know how long he had been asleep, but when he woke up, he could see that it was still dark outside the window, and a curving moon hung there, lined with a few stars.
"You're awake!"
Not long after the turtledove's eyes opened, someone came up to him, and saw that his posture was about to slap the turtledove on the shoulder, maybe he also realized that his action was inappropriate, so the raised slap never fell.
"Brother Hailong, how long have I been asleep?"
"Three days and three nights."
The "Sea Dragon Brother" in the mouth of the turtledove was a yellow man several years older than him, with a square head and a large face, and some small eyes, but his body was frighteningly strong, and he had a simple feeling, but his small eyes were shrewd, like a mouse.
Brother Hailong's surname is Liu, and he still teaches Turtledove's fist and foot kung fu, he is not only Turtledove's teacher, but also Turtledove's best friend, and he can be called a teacher and friend.
Seeing that the turtledove's eyes were rolling, Liu Hailong pulled a stool from the side and sat down, first asked the turtledove how he had been outside all these years, and suddenly turned his words and said:
"Where did you get the trick, girl?"
Turtledove didn't understand what he was saying for a while, but after a while, he came to his senses, and he punched Liu Hailong's shoulder: "People are still a little girl, can't you accumulate some virtue?" ”
Since it was said that the insects were mentioned, the turtledove had to ask her about the situation, according to Liu Hailong, the situation was not optimistic, and it was quite not optimistic.
She was brought back by the turtledove, and at the same time that the turtledove was sent to the Mouse City Hospital, she was also arranged to be brought in. Despite a shot of antibiotics and some medicine on the road, the wound on the worm's body was slightly infected.
Coupled with the long-distance bumps and the lack of timely treatment, the little worm had an intermittent high fever for the past three days, and the medicine that the doctor should have used was also used, and they said that if the little girl continued to burn like this, even if she survived this formation, her brain should have burned out.
These are what Liu Hailong said, he doesn't know those medical terms, and the words he says may not be so accurate, but they can still clearly indicate the current physical condition of the worm.
In fact, Liu Hailong hasn't explained everything yet, what the doctor said is much more serious than this, Liu Hailong didn't dare to tell the turtledove thoroughly, for fear of affecting the turtledove's state of mind.
The injuries on the turtledove's body were not light, he was extremely weak due to long-term dehydration, and he had a slight crack in his left collarbone and shoulder blade, but fortunately it was not broken, otherwise that arm would have been useless. In addition, the ligaments in his shoulder are also very seriously damaged, and if they are not treated well, they will leave more or less sequelae.
And the most important thing, probably the turtledove himself didn't notice, he was hit by two stray bullets in his thighs, the bullets had been taken out, the wounds were quite deep, and one of them almost hurt the artery.
"Take me to see her."
Turtledove lifted the white sheet he was covering and struggled to get up from the bed, his left arm tied to his chest and his leg bandaged, and a simple movement of getting up took him a lot of strength.
"You, don't be so anxious," Liu Hailong wanted to press the turtledove back to the bed, but he couldn't withstand the turtledove's stubbornness, "Didn't I tell you, the little girl's condition is not bad, the doctor said that she will recover in two days." ”
"That's not what you just said."
"That's what I said wrong, and this time it's right."
"You think I'm a fool?"
Turtledove pushed away Liu Hailong, limping out of the door, a small ward is only a dozen square meters in total, his legs and feet are inconvenient, but he still walked to the door of the ward in two steps.
"Yo, this is starting to toss?"
However, a person blocked the turtledove's way, and when he went to that station, the turtledove really didn't dare to push him away like a bangs dragon, so he could only retreat to the side of the bed stupidly.
"I haven't been home for a few years, and when I come back, it will cause me so much trouble."
It was none other than one of the giants of the Outlawlands, the ruler of the Rat City, the rumored "man-eater", Hannibal.
