Chapter 0115 - The Household of the Declining
Originally, we thought that the sacrificial ceremony was almost over here, and the "river god" under the water should also let us go, after all, what should have been eaten has already been eaten, so we won't be left to chat with it again, right?
However, what I never expected was that the "river god" not only did not mean to let us go, but was inexplicably struck by something under the bottom of the boat rhythmically, "knock, knock, knock," as if it was conveying something, which made people shudder.
The old snake head seemed to hear the meaning of the "knock" sound made by the tapping below, and hurriedly slapped the water with the oars in his hand rhythmically according to the knocking sound made under the water, and bargained with the "river god" under the lake in a language we did not understand.
Under the suppression of this terrifying atmosphere, I really couldn't stand it, and seeing the old snakehead's face becoming more and more ugly, I also had the courage to ask softly: "Old snakehead, what is the lord below talking about?" ”
The fat man on the side also interjected in a low voice: "Yes, it's a big deal, we can't do it yet." ”
The old snake head didn't pay attention to us, but just slapped the oars in his hand vigorously, and it was about a few minutes before he slowly turned around and said sharply at us: "The river god said, some of the three of you have eaten dead human flesh, and you need to leave something, otherwise you will have to stay here forever." ”
As soon as the old snake's words came out, my first reaction was to look at Li Baqiu and the others beside me, and the most important of them was the fat man, after all, he was born as a tomb robber, and it was normal to have eaten dead human flesh.
Sure enough, suddenly being looked at by me like this, the fat man suddenly felt a little weak, looked at the old snake head tremblingly, and said timidly: "Old... Old snake head... I have a few stinky money on me... But there's nothing..."
Although the fat man didn't say anything specific, I could still feel the meaning of his words, which was nothing more than to ask what the other party wanted him to leave behind? That's the point.
In the end, I helped him out loud and asked, "Old snakehead, what does the old man want us to leave behind?" ”
The old snake head looked at me and Li Baqiu with deep meaning, and then said lightly: "Three things, first, a friend's gift; 2. The household of the declining people; 3. Own blood. ”
"A decrepit home?" Li Baqiu muttered suspiciously: "This friend's gift, our own blood is understandable, but what is this decrepit family?" ”
The old snake head saw that the three of us didn't understand what the decrepit family meant? Hurriedly explained: "Decaying people, that is to say, who among the people we are here has always had worse luck, that is declining people. As for the household, that is, the stool he pulled out, commonly known as household. ”
"Oh," the fat man finally understood a little when he heard this, and after learning that two of the three things had nothing to do with him, he asked about his own blood, "What do you say about your own blood?" It's not going to give it half a pound of blood, is it? ”
"No, just take a drop of essence blood from the center of your eyebrows," the old snake head said, and then said to me and Li Baqiu, who were out of the way: "As for the gifts of friends and the homes of the decrepit, you two can discuss them." ”
Seeing that the old snake head pushed all the matter on the heads of the two of us, although my second president complained, he still kept his mouth shut and did not speak.
At this time, the fat man was holding a dagger to take the blood from the center of his eyebrows, and Li Baqiu and I were in a heated argument with a burst of words, and finally I bluffed him with a sentence "This matter must not be sloppy, once the two of us deliberately hide our recent luck, we will not be able to stay here".
When I took off a button on my body as a gift to the fat man, Li Baqiu had already taken off his pants and in the cabin, I don't know if it was because of someone next to me or if he was indeed constipated, in short, his face was red and there was no home to come out.
After about ten minutes, Li Baqiu was finally comfortably relieved. When the fat man threw all the three things that everyone had gathered under the seemingly calm water, the boat under us lost its restraints and could row.
The hull of the ship could be moved, and the old snake head breathed a sigh of relief, according to his words, if he had known that some of the three of us had eaten dead human flesh a long time ago, I am afraid that he would not have taken this trip to death.
The three of us saw that we had finally sent away the "river god" in the lake, and we leaned on the edge of the boat in prostration, and we didn't know where we were at this time, but we only knew that the old snake head was rowing the oars neatly and drifting in the mountains and mountains.
Li Baqiu looked at the fat man with resentment, and said angrily: "Fat man, fat man, I really didn't expect it, you fucking have eaten dead human flesh, vomit..."
Li Baqiu said, pretending to be disgusting, pretending to vomit. I saw that the fat man's face was very ugly, and I didn't want to make any more jokes, so I asked seriously: "Fat man, why have you ever eaten dead human flesh?" ”
Seeing that we were endless, he said helplessly: "Actually, I don't blame me, when I followed my grandfather to steal the ancient tombs of the Warring States Period, I had no choice but to eat in order to avoid being angry, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get out." ”
"Oh," I nodded, understandably, after all, nine out of ten tomb robbers had eaten dead human flesh, which meant that life could be fought with the dead.
After rowing through a stretch of water and around several mountains, the old serpent anchored the boat at a crack in the mountain that led into the mountain, and said to us, "Well, I can only send you here, and the rest of the journey will be on your own." ”
Li Baqiu stood up slightly, and after looking at the surrounding environment, he said in a fork: "Are you saying that this cracked mountain crack is the waterway of Fuxian Lake leading to the interior of the mountain?" ”
"Well, yes," the old snake nodded, "I stumbled upon this waterway a few years ago, and there was enough space in it for a boat to row. As long as you paddle along this mountain crevice, you should be able to reach the end of the Fuxian Lake. ”
As he spoke, the old snake head went to untie the rope of another boat that was tied with a rope behind him, and then dragged it to us, and motioned for the three of us to get on the slightly firmer tin wooden boat.
After getting on the tin wooden boat, the three of us also bid farewell to the old snake's head and rowed towards the gap in the mountain that could only accommodate a boat.
