Chapter Twenty-Three: Fighting the Walking Dead
After holding in the water for a long time, my mind is not so clear, and my eyes are also dazzling, not very clear. I only vaguely saw a pair of feet, and before I could fully see clearly, I felt a yin wind pressing down on my head. I was horrified, knowing that it was the thing that attacked, and I instinctively rolled on one side, and I kicked the wet mud under the river with my foot, and I wanted to jump out of the water. At this time, I felt that my neck was pinched by a pair of iron tongs-like hands, and then, my whole body rose out of the water, my hands danced wildly, my feet kicked around, it didn't have any effect, the hands that pinched my neck tightened more and more, I felt my tongue sticking out, my eyes were black for a while, and my ears were 'buzzing'... A voice in my heart said, I'm going to die...
Faintly, I heard Old Man Yang's shout. Just as I was about to lose consciousness, I heard a 'tom' sound, as if something huge had fallen from the sky, and then I was thrown out with a strong force and smashed the sand by the river. Although the sand was soft, my intestines almost broke. However, under the smooth breathing, the whole person still feels much more comfortable...
"Xiao Leng, how are you?"
Old man Yang rushed over and held me up.
I coughed dryly twice, "No... It's okay..."I thought to myself, could it be that there are rescuers coming? …
The first thing I thought of was Master, when Old Man Yang helped me struggle to sit up from the ground, I rubbed my eyes and looked over, only to see a tall man, standing straight by the water... I couldn't believe my eyes, because this person was actually Xiang Feng!
Opposite to the wind, about five or six meters apart, there was another person, with fat sleeves hanging down on his sides, looking at the ghost, it was the 'person' who chased me and Old Man Yang before...
"Ah Leng, how are you?" Xiang Feng asked.
"It's fine." I rubbed my neck and said hoarsely.
Xiang Feng smiled, "Look at me giving you anger..."
At this time, I saw the 'man's body move, and hurriedly shouted, "Ah Feng be careful! ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the 'man' rushed straight towards the wind. Hearing the 'clatter' of the bone joints on Xiang Feng's body, instead of dodging, he also rushed straight towards the 'person'! There was a muffled 'bang', and the man was knocked upside down by the wind, flew upside down, and fell straight to the ground... Old Man Yang and I were both stunned...
"Are you alright?" I asked.
"It's fine." Xiang Feng said.
Suddenly, the 'man' straightened up, stood up from the ground, shook twice, and rushed again...
A thought crossed my mind that I couldn't bump into it again... I don't know where the strength came from, I jumped up and blocked the wind, at the same time, the 'man' had already rushed to me, I closed my eyes, and said in my heart, this time, I must have returned to my place...
Before this thought fell, I listened to the 'boom'... Then, something fell to the ground. I hurriedly opened my eyes, and saw that it was the 'person' who fell to the ground, judging from the sound just now, it should have been from the Lonely Void Rune...
The man shook a few times, Xiang Feng didn't allow 'him' to get up again, jumped down, and stepped on the 'person's chest, this time it was really ruthless, directly stepped on 'his' chest, with the sound of broken ribs, this 'person' opened his mouth. I glanced and saw that not far from the 'man', there was a black talisman... I rolled on the ground, picked up the talisman, turned around and stuffed it into the man's mouth, and finally, he didn't move...
I breathed a sigh of relief, collapsed, and sat down on the ground. Xiang Feng jumped down from the 'person' and took out his mobile phone to take a photo, only to see that the 'person' face was blue and black, and it was simply a dead corpse, a dead corpse that could move!
The rain is still falling, and the river is misty...
Xiang Feng supported me with his left hand and Old Man Yang with his right hand, and returned to the place where I parked. Master also didn't know where he had gone, and he hadn't come back yet.
I looked around and said, "Let's go, let's get in the car." ”
Getting into the car, I brushed the water from my hair and said, "You're really just in time, otherwise, Master Ben will be in place..."
Xiang Feng smiled slightly.
"By the way, why did you come here?" I asked.
Xiang Feng said that he left the mountain village, hired a car in that town, and rushed to the county seat where we were in the afternoon. Xiang Feng called me, but the line was busy, and he couldn't get through, so he called Morning Star, and learned that after Master and I came to this urban village, Xiang Feng didn't go to the hotel, but rushed over directly to help us.
The driver was not familiar with the county, and he didn't know where the urban village was, so when he drove to the bridge, he got off the car and walked along the bridge to this side. So he looked under the bridge, and vaguely felt that the person who shouted looked like Old Man Yang, so he jumped off the bridge...
"It seems that Ben Lengfu has a great life..."I laughed.
"It's thanks to my brother, if it weren't for my loud voice, Xiaofeng might not have been able to hear it." Old man Yang said.
"Hehe... By the way, uncle, you don't feel any discomfort on your body, do you? I asked.
"Nope."
"Is that still itchy?"
"It's not itchy anymore." Old Man Yang said, "I'll just tell you to pour some water on me, you still don't do it." You see, when I take a dip in that river, my body immediately stops itching..."
I nodded, thinking, "Look, was my earlier assumption wrong?" …
Suddenly, I felt that the color of Mr. Yang's clothes was strange, so I hurriedly turned on the lights in the carriage and looked closely, only to see that his clothes seemed to be dyed with paint, red and green. I dipped something red, put it on my nose and smelled it, it was cinnabar, and as for the green one, I don't know what it was...
I understand, Mr. Yang was painted before. There is no doubt that it was painted by the bastards who kidnapped him. From this point of view, the corpse from before should have been made by those bastards in the middle of the road and robbed us. Because Old Man Yang has something painted on him, no matter where we hide, we can find that ghost...
As for the process of being kidnapped, I asked Mr. Yang, and he said, that night, I went to the villa to get the magic weapon. As soon as the front foot left, Boss Cao's bastard showed his true colors. He said that the villa where we were staying was equipped with a bug, and they knew everything about our one-on-one answer. It's just that they only know that the dead ghost sent to deal with us was dealt with by me with an extremely powerful thing, and it is not clear what that thing is...
Knowing that we were going to make a plan and play a ghost possession, they also came to a plan... The dead ghost who was ambushed in the shoes at the door of Master Chen's backyard house, that mechanism, was actually used to deal with me and Old Man Yang. Boss Cao wanted to lure the two of us to go in first, but before I could be tempted, I stopped him. So, he was perfunctory with us. When Mr. Yang and I sang and answered, Boss Cao secretly dialed the phone number of Boss Zhou in the villa and turned on the speakerphone. The content of the conversation between me and Mr. Yang was listened to by Boss Zhou. Therefore, Boss Zhou called back Boss Cao's phone to create the illusion that they were going to fight in the nest. And Boss Cao, on the grounds that he wanted me to protect him, delayed us...
Later, I heard that I was going to the villa to get things in the evening, so they secretly arranged things to deal with me. In order to dispel my concerns, before leaving, Boss Cao specially instructed me to take the bronze man. Because he thinks that when the time comes, I will die in the villa, and the bronze men will still be theirs...
"I see," I muttered, "these bastards, they're fucking cunning..."
Old Man Yang was not Boss Cao's opponent, he was knocked to the ground, tied up, and blindfolded. Therefore, from beginning to end, he didn't see the rest of Boss Cao's 'gang', and as for my 'Yin and Yang Talisman', it fell into their hands...
When dealing with the dead corpse just now, Xiang Feng was afraid that the Yin and Yang Talisman would hurt me and Old Man Yang, so it was useless, and he used the Lonely Void Talisman.
After Mr. Yang finished speaking, I told Xiang Feng what we had found out about the origin of the bronze man and the fact that the descendants of the Ran clan lived in seclusion in a deep mountain downstream of the tributaries of the Minjiang River...
"There are so many tributaries of the Minjiang River, so I look for it in the dark, I don't know how to find the place where those Ran people live in seclusion. It is said that relying on that bronze man, you can summon Ran Min, and I don't know if it's true or not..."I said, "Now, in order to save Old Man Yang, the bronze man fell into the hands of Boss Cao and his gang of bastards..."
"Actually, you shouldn't care about me at all..."Old Man Yang said, "My old life itself was picked up, Jinshan... Hehe, I was paralyzed in bed for years, in fact, I wanted to die for a long time. I never dreamed that one day, I would be able to get out of bed... My current freedom was bought by Jin Shan with death, otherwise, I would be in a deep prison at the moment. So, Xiao Leng, when something happens again, you don't care about me, uncle, my body has recovered, and after so many days, I have long been content..."
"How can that be? Absolutely not! I said, "Uncle, it is precisely because Uncle Wan exchanged his life for it, so you should cherish the life in front of you even more, in case something happens to you, how can we be worthy of Uncle Wan?" ”
"Hehe..."Old Man Yang smiled bitterly, "I want to do it now, hurry up and break that curse, and rescue our Yang family in Taihang Mountain, if I delay finding clues to save people because of my life, it will be too worthless, Xiao Leng, what do you think?" ”
I sighed and didn't say anything, Old Man Yang stopped talking, and there was silence in the carriage.
"Why hasn't Master come back yet..."Xiang Feng said.
"yes." I frowned and said, "Why don't we go out and find it?" ”
Xiang Feng nodded, and as soon as the two of them got out of the car, they heard someone's footsteps.
"Master?" I shouted.
"Hmm." Master's voice.
"How?" When he came closer, I asked hurriedly.
"The man ran away..."
Master said that the person who went to pick up the bronze figure under the big tree in the garbage dump was not assigned by the person who called me at all, but the person himself. The Master quietly followed him, watched him get into a car, and then heard him sitting in the car and calling for his release. The master lurked silently until he confirmed that Old Man Yang had been released, and the man started the car to leave, but the master rushed to the front of the car and blocked his way. The man slammed into the master, and the master jumped onto the roof of the car. The man drove the car, flashing left and right, trying to throw the master down, and was in a stalemate for a long time. Master shattered the window glass and grabbed the man's arm. The man drew his gun and fired a shot, narrowly missing the master. When the man fired the second shot, Master dodged and fell out of the car, ripping off the sleeve of the man's shirt...
I said in my heart, Master's experience is no less thrilling than ours...
"Look," said the master, pointing at a sleeve, "the man's first shot was so eager that the bullet grazed his arm, and it was his blood." ”
"As long as there is his blood, there is no need to worry that he will not be found." I say.
"Hmm." Master looked at his watch, "Let's go, go back and rest..."
The next morning, I was woken up by Master.
"Leng'er, Ah Feng and I are preparing to cast spells, find a place to cast spells, and check the whereabouts of the person who took the bronze man last night. Yuxin and the others bought breakfast, you work hard, look for it after eating, see where there is snake skin, use it to make rope, and when the bronze man arrives, we will use the method you found in the 'ghost realm' to see if we can summon Ran Min. ”
"Good..."
After Master left, I was about to get up, and when I moved slightly, I felt a terrible pain in my right leg. When I first started dealing with that thing last night, I kicked it in the air, and it was a hot pain in my thigh, and it really strained my muscles...
As I grinned in pain, I limped to the girls' room, and they stared at me with wide eyes.
"Xiao Lengzi, what's wrong with you? How are you disabled? Xiaoqing asked.
I glared at her, wiping the sweat from my head, "It's not to save your dad... Oops..."
"Do you want to go to the hospital?" Yuxin asked with concern.
"No," I smiled.
"I'll put it on for you later, if it doesn't work, go to the hospital...", said Morningstar, "Did Master say that you should go and find snakeskin?" ”
"Hmm."
"Let's go together."
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay." ”
Morningstar helped me apply my leg for an hour, and when I went out, Xiaoqing volunteered to help me.
"Xiao Lengzi, for the sake of you being injured to save my father, sister, I helped you, isn't it very moving? You don't have to cry, you don't have to repay me, just don't bully me in the future..."
I looked at the other two girls with tears and laughter, and Yuxin grimaced at me.
"Where are you going to find snakeskins?" I muttered.
"Wherever there's a snake restaurant, there's a snakeskin." Yuxin said.
"Yes..."
We walked around the county and found a snake restaurant. But the snakeskins have been disposed of, and there are no snakes to be killed in the store, and the boss said that the snakes in their store are all from urban villages, where there are people who raise snakes... When I think about my experience in that urban village last night, I feel a little scared...
Yuxin drove the car, and we came to the bridge. As soon as I got off the bridge, I saw Mayday and a group of people gathered at the entrance of the village. I was going to ask where the snake keeper lived, so I asked Xiaoqing to help me and get out of the car...
"You say, it's really evil, how could that dead body run to the river..."
