Chapter 223. [Case 23] A severe beating
Before I could react, I saw a faint light, a long black shadow coming towards the door in front of me, and then a burst of Venus in front of me, and the previous clanging sound appeared at close range, even a little deafening. Venus appeared in the dark night, and it felt very romantic, but the dizziness and pain that followed were accompanied by the clanging sound that still echoed in my skull, making me unconsciously feel like I was drunk, desperately trying to stand firm, but I couldn't stand steadily, and I fell sideways to the ground.
I lost my balance briefly, but I didn't lose consciousness. In a trance, the pain seemed less real, but it was buzzing in my ears, and I could hear the people talking, but I couldn't hear what was being said at all, just like I was under the water, listening to the people on the shore. Soon I realized that these people were the four people of the White Lotus Sect, otherwise, who would have dealt such a heavy hand. When I thought of this, I deliberately reminded myself to hold up, so the buzzing in my ears gradually subsided, but the pain increased significantly.
When consciousness gradually recovered, I saw that those people were taking turns kicking Hu Zongren who had fallen to the ground, but Hu Zongren had been curled up and not moving, but he did not fight back, this was obviously not his style, unless he was heavier than me before. Among the four people, a thin man kicked and beat the hardest, and scolded in his mouth while beating back, stinky boy, tell you to hit me! Tell you to hit me. With the experience accumulated over the years, I quickly knew that this voice was the White Lotus disciple we let go of a few days ago who was taken away by me and Hu Zongren Haibian in the River God Temple. After the other three people fought for a while, they stopped, and the remaining guy kept kicking Hu Zongren in the stomach, Hu Zongren occasionally made a muffled nasal sound, and several other people stood and watched on the side, and one of them said, stop fighting, it will be troublesome if you kill someone.
The accent is from other places, because he speaks Mandarin, but the tone is stiff, and he should not be a person from the northern language family. Since I fell to the ground and didn't move, probably those people thought I was knocked unconscious, they definitely never thought about how many bricks I had suffered in my head when I was a child, Li Xiaotie's nickname was not called in vain, although I wanted to help Hu Zongren very much, but both of us were hit hard, and the other party was four people, heroes don't suffer losses in front of them, Hu Zongren is more beaten, he should be able to bear it.
At this time, I began to blame myself for my stupidity, underestimating our opponents too much, and finally paying the price for our conceit, these people must have known that we must be ambushed and followed by the park as soon as they first walked to the park, maybe the words they said earlier at the fence on the edge of the cliff were deliberately acting for us to see, they deliberately found a wrong direction to find, that is, to give me and Hu Zongren the time to find the right place, this fight, it was simply our own self-inflicted. Hu Zongren reminded me before he came, we might have to fight, and before I had a fight, I let people be ruthless from the beginning. Judging from the dark shadow of the backlight, one of them was holding something in his hand, which should be the murder weapon that knocked me and Hu Zongren to the ground just now, judging from the shadow, it should be a portable military shovel, mother's, this group of people is really good at it, if it hits these places in the temple this time, it is estimated that I will not be able to take my life now. But the man with the shovel has been watching the show on the side, looking very proud, which makes me feel a wave of hatred in my heart, I think in my heart, don't be complacent too early, when Hu Zongren and I ease up, you all have to lie down for me.
In fact, I have always been such a person, although I am timid and afraid, but I never shrug off when fighting. I've been beaten by several people together, and I know it's not my opponent, so I will choose to ignore the other people's punches and kicks, and only grab the person who is in the lead, so that at least I can beat the next one. I'm not Ip Man, and I can't fight ten at a time, and this is the only way I can think of in such a situation to lose people without losing momentum.
After the thin man fought for a while, he spat on Hu Zongren's body, and then crossed his waist to the side to rest. One of them pointed at me and said, what about this guy, why don't you hit him? The thin man said, don't fight, this kid is not bad, let him go. With that, he walked to the side, ready to take the copper chest on the ground.
When he saw the earthworms in the box, his reaction was similar to that of me at the beginning, and he was also nauseous, but he quickly calmed down, picked up the box, and then poured all the earthworms inside on Hu Zongren. Hu Zongren was still curled up on the ground, trembling slightly, and it seemed that he was not unconscious, but he was beaten a little badly. The man knocked the box on the ground a few times to shake out the remaining earthworms. The person with a foreign accent said, it's not in vain that it's been in vain, we can be regarded as having found it, and your beating that day was not in vain. The rest of the people laughed, and the other said, If it weren't for the fact that these two boys would go to the old man's house, we wouldn't be able to make such a play.
When I heard this, I felt a chill in my heart. It turned out that I thought that I had broken through the matter of this man stalking Hu Zongren that day, but I didn't expect that all this was deliberately designed by the other party, the purpose was to attract me and Hu Zongren to face each other against them, in this way, although we don't know what to do with the White Lotus Sect and the Xuanyuan Society, but at least this hostile relationship was directly grafted onto me and Hu Zongren, and after that day, the people of the White Lotus Sect can blatantly use us, just like today, I think I am smarter than them, more careful than them, But he still became the object of their use, and worked hard to find something, but let them reap the benefits of the fisherman. Thinking of this, I felt a lot of sadness, it seems that when it comes to deceit, I am really not the opponent of this group of old rivers and lakes.
The thin man said, why are there so many earthworms in this box, and they haven't finished shaking, how can there be earthworms in this winter. In fact, this is also a point that I think is very strange, generally speaking, earthworms will only appear in summer, especially after rain, and usually do not appear in winter. Situ said, after the four divine beasts, in the middle is the earth dragon, belonging to the earth, representing the earthworm, I knew that we might meet the earthworm this time, but I have always thought that it is as the tea stall owner said in the mouth, the arm is so thick, and I never thought that there are so many of them. I stole a glance at Hu Zongren, he was covered with earthworms, but he didn't move, if it were me, I am afraid I would have jumped up in disgust.
The man with a foreign accent replied that there must be such a ritual here, and that the people who buried it in the first place had been dead for years. The earthworm is drilled into the soil, which must be the reason for the protection of the power of the five elements, otherwise it will definitely not be able to be preserved well after so many years. He went on to say that where there are earthworms, there must be better soil and more aura. The thin man didn't speak, but still cleaned up the earthworms in the box. My face was pressed underneath, my nose smelled the peculiar smell of earth, and I felt like I was fully conscious, except for a little dizziness. I began to move my fingers slowly, trying to find a stone on the ground, because this group of people probably wouldn't let me and Hu Zongren go so easily, and this fight was inevitable. Fortunately, the place was full of rocks tumbling down from the cliffs, and I quickly caught one without anyone noticing, and then with my other hand grabbed a handful of loose dirt, which I had just made from digging the pit, mixed with small stones and sand.
Soon, it seemed that the thin man had finally poured out all the earthworms inside, and he leaned over to the box to look at the contents with the light, and then asked the other three people around him, what the hell is this, there is a lid, shall we open it? The foreign accent said, don't open it, let's just find it, and leave the rest to the master to deal with. So the thin man closed the lid of the copper box and planned to leave. People with out-of-town accents asked, what about these two guys? The thin man said, no matter what they are, they can't die, they will leave when they wake up, these two young people are people with foundations, and ordinary people can't help them. After saying that, they left back and forth, and when the thin man was leaving, he stretched out his foot and kicked Hu Zongren twice to see if he was dead.
It is said that good people don't live long, and disasters live for thousands of years, so disasters like Hu Zongren will definitely live for thousands of years. I waited until those guys walked a little farther, then got up and shook Hu Zongren, Hu Zongren slowly propped himself up, spit out a mouthful of saliva or blood, and then cursed in a low voice, Immortals, see if I don't kill these dogs this time.
His tone gritted his teeth, but it was a little struggling. I know that if I don't let Hu Zongren release him today, he will never be able to get out of this breath. So I asked him, are you okay with your legs and feet? He said it was okay, he didn't move just now, he just didn't want to pick four. I asked him, so you don't know I'm pretending, right? Hu Zongren said where the hell do I know, you are behind me, and I can't see you. I asked him if you can really move now, don't suffer, the gentleman will take revenge for ten years... Before I finished speaking, Hu Zongren pushed me the chest, and I fell to the ground without standing firmly.
Hu Zongren whispered to me fiercely, do you look like I'm in trouble? Are you going to follow me? If you don't, I'll go myself!
