Chapter 40: Saving Lives
Lu Su and Tofu next to him also woke up, and got out of the sleeping bag with a grunt, fortunately, our vigilance was relatively high, the weapon was left next to it, and when the sleeping bag came out, Lu Su rushed out with a knife, and I followed closely, as for Tofu...... I'm still untying the rope of my sleeping bag, so don't mention it.
Lu Su and I came out of the tent, only to see that the fire had been extinguished, and the bright moon in the snowy mountains was bright and clean, and the snow reflected the moonlight, and every qiē looked dark and hazy. It was not only us who was awakened by this voice, but the rest of us also came out of the tent one after another, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Feng Ghost Shou's eyes wandered around the crowd, his expression changed suddenly, and he said, "There are two people missing." ”
The black loach continued: "It's Lu Dazui and Mao Ya who are keeping vigil." ”
I also know a little about these two people, Lu Dazui likes to brag, and nine out of ten sentences are bragging, he is a small character who is not in the stream, before that, he had only dug some poor graves, and he couldn't even speak black words.
In order not to lose face in our group of people, he often brags about his inverted deeds, saying that the dangers are full of dangers, and he is often worth tens of millions of weapons, in the words of tofu, this person is not suitable for digging mushrooms, suitable for writing scripts for Hollywood, because he really has a set of skills in making up stories, and people who don't know can really listen to the creepiness, and the shooting is amazing. In the wind and snow, listening to him brag is also a pastime.
In addition, there is nothing wrong with this person, compared to those real experts in the inverted fighting world, he is not black-hearted, not spicy, he is a small person, with some obvious characteristics of small people, when bragging is exposed, he will be embarrassed, and change the topic with a red face, but if this matter is put on Bai Chop Chicken and others, it will definitely cut the person who embarrassed him.
As for Maoya, he is a young man who has no other skills, and he probably knows his status in the team, so he works very hard, camping, cooking, etc., which are very slippery. The character is relatively cowardly, and he is afraid of offending people, and he is careful to lose his face to everyone. But other than that, there's nothing special.
I have always wondered why the dumb man would pick up such a group and find such an irrelevant group of people, and at this time, Lu Dazui and Maoya are gone. Everyone turned on the flashlight, and their eyes brightened, and at this time, a dazzling mark on the snow was clearly reflected in everyone's eyes.
It was a long, as if something had been dragged along, and there were some messy marks next to it, which looked like someone had scratched it out. I immediately had such a scene in my mind. Lu Dazui and Maoya were suddenly attacked and dragged away by something during the vigil, struggling to leave these messy handprints.
At this moment, this trace clearly shows that the final direction is the hot spring lake, which is less than ten meters away from us.
The mute took a few steps to the lakeshore and crouched down, as if searching for some clues.
At this moment, he was wearing only a pair of single pants, and his upper body was naked, probably because he jumped into the water to save people during the day, and his clothes were wet.
The dumb man frowned, made a gesture, and suddenly pointed to one of the people in the team and said, "You, go down and have a look." ”
The person named was startled and panicked: "I, I'll go?" Why should I go, there must be a water monster down here. "This person is none other than the fish drifter who led the way before, that is, the best water in our team.
In this case, as long as you are not a fool, you will know that there is something strange in this water, and the things inside must be very fierce, otherwise Lu Dazui and Mao Ya, even if they are useless, the two big living people will not even resist and be dragged down like this.
After Yu Piao finished speaking, the dumb man stared at him coldly, and then, one hand was placed on the black scimitar at his waist. Yu Piao seemed to remember the scene when he cut the snowman during the day, swallowed his saliva, and went into the water hard.
We turned the lights on the surface of the water and watched as the fish floated and swam all the way to the distance, diving down until we couldn't see it.
Tofu said worriedly: "This kid is not good, he is a good swimmer, but I don't know how he can do it." ”
I said lightly: "Why don't you go into the water to help him?" ”
Tofu hurriedly shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll still support him silently on the shore." In the dark, everyone's expressions were different, but most of them were divided into three categories, the first type was the dumb and Lu Su's unmoved; the second is Feng Ghost Hand and Meng Meng's frowning; The third is the group of tomb robbers who have little knowledge, one by one, they are like a great enemy, and they dare not come out.
The whole process is actually not long, from the time we got out of the tent to the time when the fish floated into the water, it was only a matter of two minutes, however, just as the figure of the fish drifting disappeared at the end of the light, a burst of blood mist suddenly burst into the lake, and under the dim light, it gradually spread with the surface of the lake.
I couldn't help but gasp, my heart said badly, I'm afraid the fish drift won't come back, oh my God, what's under this water? Needless to say, I'm afraid that Lu Dazui and Maoya are also more auspicious. Tofu scolded fiercely and said, "What are you waiting for, save people, guns, take them out." ”
It was the mute who answered him, and a thin layer of snow had stopped on the dumb man's bare shoulders, and he glanced at the tofu coldly, and said, "Retreat, get out of here first." ”
Tofu was dumbfounded, pointed to the lake, and said, "Then what about the three of them?" ”
The dumb man snorted in his mouth, and said in an indifferent tone with mockery: "Do you think those three people can still live?" ”
Tofu is not good at words, and said anxiously: "But...... But that's how we go...... They're the ones who do the work for you, and you're the ones you sent to wade the mines. ”
"So what?" The dumb man asked rhetorically, Tofu couldn't speak, so the dumb man made a move to withdraw from the camp, signaling everyone to move the campsite. Lu Su sighed, patted Tofu's shoulder, and said: "Don't be sad, this line of work has never been an easy job, partnering, is to sell your life to others, pay money with one hand, pay life with the other, and live and die without complaining." ”
Lu Su's words are true, I think that at the beginning, Wei Nanjing's next trip to fight, the mountain fee was 800,000, not counting the dividends of the distinguisher. The dumb man must have given a lot of money to partner with these people, I will pay, you will sell your life, that's the truth, die on the way, and everyone will not owe each other.
That being said, it's just that the dumbness is so cold that it's chilling.
Feng Ghost Hand and the others didn't say anything, but the rest of the people were shocked by the mute and cold style, and everyone began to remove the camp tents, preparing to advance against the wind and snow overnight, and rest during the day. The atmosphere in the team was very silent, and perhaps everyone realized at this moment: what cruelty is. I guess some people are already starting to regret partnering with the dumb man. But in the depths of this unconnected snow-capped mountain, who dares to go back? It's easier to kill someone in this place than to pinch an ant to death.
Not far away, I heard a bearded man muttering, saying that the money for the inverted bucket is really not easy to earn, and after finishing this vote, he must be good.
Tofu was sullen and looked at the lake from time to time, and I persuaded him: "Three strangers, I want to open some." ”
Tofu shook his head and said, "I also hate my own character, but I can't change it, they die, I feel uncomfortable, do you say they have wives and children?" Parents are still away? When they die, what should the family do? ”
I said in my heart, who is not raised by his father and mother, naturally has parents, wives and children, but high returns are inevitably accompanied by high risks, doing this line of work is a voluntary choice, and death is not worthy of sympathy. Some people work hard all their lives, live a difficult and hard life, and are still poor all their lives, and those who dig mushrooms upside down, why spend so much money? How can there be such a return without a huge effort?
Therefore, these three people died here today, not unjustly.
I comforted Tofu like this, and he got a little better and put on his equipment bag. Everyone quickly packed up their things and prepared to retreat, no one noticed, in the lake, something quietly popped up, and by the time they found it, it was too late.
I only heard a scream from behind the crowd, and when I turned my head, I saw a dead man floating in the lake, and the hands of that thing were holding a man's neck and dragging him to the bottom of the lake.
The man was the bearded man who was still muttering about washing his hands in a golden basin just now.
Could it be that it was this dead man who dragged away Lu Dazui and Mao Ya before, as well as attacked the fish float under the water? What is it? Kelpie?
For a while, this team that was not too good suddenly became chaotic. And we reacted quickly this time, the bearded man had not been dragged into the water at the moment, he was struggling, I knew that it would be too late if I didn't save people, and in addition to the fact that the dead man was not far away from us, about ten meters away from the water, in a hurry, I shot out a flying knife.
In the past few months, I have been studying and practicing hard, and I have achieved something, and I can almost see it at close range. The knife was inserted into the hand of the thing, it didn't have any effect, the thing didn't even pause, and at this moment, the bearded man had been pulled into the water, because of his struggle, it didn't go deep for a while, if it was a little later, it would definitely be hopeless.
At this moment, the mute jumped into the water violently, swimming towards the thing, in the water, it was always too late to take advantage of the shore, I was worried that the dumb man would also suffer, so I also jumped into the water to help, and the other end Lu Su also twisted the knife into the water, and the three of them swam towards the bearded man in a triangular formation.
The dead man, as if he had wisdom, saw us approaching, and his strength increased violently, and in an instant he pulled his beard deeper, and the underwater light was dim, and the light of the flashlight was even weaker, and he could hardly see the beard.
Depend on.
I cursed, took a deep breath, plunged into the water, and dived down.
