Chapter 22: The Goblin Blood

————————————————————————————————————————

There was a "bang" gunshot, and then, the head of a mountain boy standing in front of me exploded instantly, and a stream of black-purple blood mixed with bean dregs-like brains sprayed in front of me and Gao Peng.

Gao Pengden and I were surprised, and those mountain boys were even more frightened, this group of creatures, in this deep mountain and old forest has been strong for a long time, even if it is a jackal, tiger and leopard, they do not put it in their eyes, now, suddenly a strange sound asked for the name of their companion, naturally difficult to understand, so hurriedly looked around, but before finding out the culprit, he heard a "bang" gunshot, so another mountain boy head "fluttered", fell in a pool of blood.

At this moment, the remaining mountain boys became angry, and one by one straightened up and watched the surrounding movements while barking wildly, and at the same time, a familiar dialect said: "Don't fight, don't fight, this is a mandrill, they are all small mountain gods, and they can't be provoked." ”

Gao Peng and I glanced at each other, although he was still very angry at my reaction just now, but at this time his eyes showed the same confusion as me, the voice was in a tone, an authentic Henan dialect, who was not the fortune teller Yuan Baqian on the train?

It's just that the sound came from the depths of the dense forest in the distance, and before Gao Peng and I could see the situation over there, there were already five or six mountain boys rushing towards the dense forest with a few "whoosh" sounds.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

There were several gunshots one after another, and then Yuan Baqian's voice said: "Your elm head, tell you not to fight, don't fight, I can't hear it!" Mandrills are very vindictive. ”

"Master Yuan, you don't have to worry!" This voice is also familiar to me, it is the policeman on the train, Captain Chen. How did they end up in this place?

The rest of the boys, seeing that something was wrong, looked at each other, hissed a few times, and looked at the swamp again, so that in the blink of an eye they fled into the fir forest, and could not find any more trace.

Then, the woods in front of him shook twice, and six figures walked out of it. I looked at it, and my heart couldn't help but feel cold, only to see that three of these five people I had met on the train to Wuhan, Yuan Baqian naturally needless to say, Captain Chen, who came out later with a submachine gun, also verified my previous guess, and there was another person, this person took the train from Shenyang with me, and all the way to the bed opposite me and looked at "Ideal Country", and followed me to the young man who came to Shennongjia on the bus of the travel agency. I saw that he was wearing a sportswear version at the moment, fiddling with a pistol in his hand, and walked towards me and Gao Peng with an expressionless face.

As for the remaining two, whom I had not seen, one of them had a full beard, a round waist, and a light machine gun in his hand; There is also a person who is thin, with deep-set eye sockets, two thin lips closed together, and a cruel and vicious look, which does not look like a good person.

A group of five of them walked towards us, and Yuan Baqian, who was walking in it, nagged at the young man: "Hey, I said you young man, didn't you hear what I was talking to you just now?" I know that your kid is accurate in marksmanship, but you can't fight mandrills, those guys hold grudges, and we will only be more dangerous in the future. ”

The young man didn't say a word, just walked by himself, Yuan Baqian saw that he was being left aside, but he was not angry, and continued to nag.

At this time, Captain Chen, who was the leader, had already walked in front of me, and at this time he was no longer wearing a police uniform, but was wearing a casual dress.

Captain Chen smiled at me and said, "Fan Peixi, you should thank us for saving your life, and of course, your friend." He said as he pointed with his thumb to the swamp behind him.

"How do you know my name, I never told you." I said.

Captain Chen lowered his head and smiled, and said, "If I tell you about a person, you must know the way." ”

"Who?"

"Liu Hanwen."

"Officer Liu!" I was surprised, but at the same time I knew where this group of people came from, and they were members of the so-called mysterious organization. But they weren't as mysterious as Officer Liu had told me, and although I knew that none of them were fuel-efficient lamps, at least from the outside, I wasn't impressed by anyone other than the emaciated man.

When I was in Shenyang, as my mother's body was found and Zhang Hefang suddenly disappeared, I never saw Officer Liu again, at first, I was also very puzzled, but I knew in my heart that this Officer Liu would never let me go so easily, but after a few months, Officer Liu never moved, so I gradually relaxed my vigilance. Now it seems that Officer Liu has never stopped monitoring me.

"You've been following me all the time?" I said, "I had already sent an email to tell Officer Liu that we didn't have any research manuscripts from my father at home. ”

Captain Chen waved his hand, lit a cigarette, and said, "That's not important anymore, what we want to get your father's research manuscript is nothing more than to find out the specific location and details of the Shennongjia Old Man's Cave that your father destroyed twenty years ago, but now, with you leading the way, it is more direct." ”

When I heard what he said, I was shocked. Xin said that the people of the organization in Officer Liu's mouth did not give up looking for the old man's cave that could make people's bodies last forever in the past twenty years, but with Jiang Daolin's alienation, his father's retirement and the disappearance of another person, the entire research of the old man's cave has completely stagnated, and the people of the organization can't even find where the old man's cave is, this matter is related to my father's manuscript, which is nothing more than that my father was one of the main planners of that exploration.

I was thinking about it, when I suddenly heard two "clicks", I could guess without looking, it was the sound of a pistol being loaded, and then I saw the young man who liked to read calmly pointed the pistol in the direction of Gao Peng.

Gao Peng and I were both stunned, and Captain Chen suddenly said, "Slow, keep him, don't kill him first." ”

Hearing this, the young man slowly put down the gun in his hand, but he immediately said: "These two people have a good relationship, keep it, maybe there is trouble." ”

My heart was half cold all of a sudden, not because I was frightened by this young man's words, but I sighed in my heart, when I was on the train to Wuhan that day, I thought this was a quiet and introverted young man, but when I looked at him again, he was completely a killer, a person, how many faces he had, his past, we didn't know.

"Don't worry." Captain Chen said: "I know it in my heart. ”

I looked at the guys and said, "How many of you have been following me from the beginning?" Including you catching that old man Yuan on the train, you are also acting? He's your guy too? ”

"Hey, I'm not one of them." At first, Yuan Baqian had been standing around the swamp behind him cautiously checking the appearance of the group of monsters in the swamp, and as soon as he heard my words, he hurriedly ran forward and said, "I was really captured by them. ”

As soon as Yuan Baqian's words came out, a fat palm of the bearded man standing next to him suddenly slapped on Yuan Baqian's shoulder, Yuan Baqian was full of excitement, and turned around to look at the beard, the bearded man didn't speak, just stared at Yuan Baqian.

At this time, Captain Chen shook the cigarette butt and said in a lazy voice: "Master Yuan, I, Chen Bing, admire your knowledge and deeds before I call you Master Yuan, but you make me unable to get off the stage everywhere, which is a bit unreasonable in terms of etiquette." ”

"Captain Chen, if you say so, let's call the old man Old Man Yuan." Yuan Baqian said: "In this world, if you have a life to make money, you have to have a life to spend, right?" How many bizarre and mysterious things there are in the original stone mountain forest of Shennongjia, I know very well, before I can reach the depths of the forest, I have already encountered goblin blood dragons, and even mandrills have appeared, and if you go inside, you may encounter something. ”

"What do you say is that?" I asked.

Yuan Baqian's personality is quite interesting, as long as someone asks him a question, he seems to be very happy, always put on a tireless look, his right hand cocked orchid finger, while stroking the obscene little mustache, he looked at us, and said, "What, want to know the way?" ”

"Stinky old man, don't sell the lawsuit, say it quickly!" The bearded man roared loudly.

At this time, Captain Chen suddenly shouted: "Hong Yi! Be silent! Immediately, he changed his respectful tone again, and turned to Yuan Baqian and said: "Master Yuan, the people under him don't understand the rules, I hope you don't be surprised, what do you think, just say it, we all listen to it." ”

I looked at Captain Chen, and said in my heart that his attitude was a 180-degree turn from when he was on the train, it seems that the scene where the liar was caught on the train before was indeed staged, and Captain Chen's desire to catch Yuan Baqian was the real thing to do.

Yuan Baqian couldn't help but feel proud when he saw that his beard was scolded by Captain Chen Bing, he stroked his mustache, snorted lowly, and said: "Juniors are juniors, always like this, no big or small." This goblin blood is actually quite rare, and the name of this goblin is different from place to place, however, this kind of creature is not found in the north, and it is rare in the south, and many people have never even heard of this name, let alone seen it. This creature, first discovered near Xishuangbanna in Yunnan Province, resembles a carpet, has no eyes and feet, is hermaphroditic, and grows on its own; There are suction cups on the abdomen, but they are soft and fragile, and their backs are like dead trees, but they are as hard as turtle shells; Living in a damp and dark place all year round, living on the essence and blood of all things, it is a yin spirit and evil thing, and it is indeed very abnormal to appear here. ”

After listening to Yuan Baqian's introduction, Gao Peng and I looked at each other twice, and neither spoke to each other, but I believe that at that time, both of us had a big greeting in our hearts - is this Yuan Baqian a charlatan, or a master?
