Chapter 30 Bargaining Equals

Coffin......

Like the passage through which we entered the tomb, she was so obsessed with this coffin, could it be that the exit was here?

"Ziwei!" I called them to hurry forward and grabbed the little girl before she could close the coffin.

Even if we knew the exit, we didn't know what it was like to walk out of the passage, and we must not act alone and let her go.

Ziwei understood what I meant, and stabilized Tang Jiao, and the first one was sent into the coffin.

The little girl screamed in fright from us, and struggled violently to escape, and when Ziwei also went in, the two of us moved the lid of the coffin together, put it back on top of the coffin, and hid the fragment of the Night Pearl in our hands to extinguish the light in the air.

Just as the coffin lid was tightly closed, the bottom of the body was empty, and I felt a piece of the place under my feet fall. I took precautions and avoided the danger of falling below.

Tang Jiao poked my arm, my eyesight in the dark was so poor that I couldn't see him at all, guessing he meant to ask if we should go down from here.

I saw that the place was a black hole that was darker than the others, and I couldn't see it, and shook my head and motioned for him to wait.

It didn't take long for the little girl to slowly quiet down, but after all, the coffin couldn't accommodate the four of us, everyone was huddled together, and it was not difficult for anyone to notice the existence of the other.

We tried to get out of the way for her so that she could walk to the hole unhindered.

The little girl slowly crawled there, threw the rag doll in her hand, and then climbed down step by step, clutching something herself.

When she was gone, we took out the pieces and illuminated the inside of the coffin, only to see that there was a soft ladder made of wood.

As usual, I was exploring the road in front, Ziwei took care of Tang Jiao behind the palace, the bottom was not as deep as imagined, and I reached the bottom of the ten steps, and I saw a narrow passage, but I was also scared to run too quickly, and the little girl's doll was still lying on the ground at my feet.

I picked up the rag doll, and there was not much cotton left in its body, one of its round eyes had been deducted, and its arms were torn, and the whole thing was crooked and ugly.

"Follow the passage, keep up, no matter what, the three of us must not be broken up."

When I finished speaking, they both responded and moved two steps closer.

The rest went well, and we kept going inside, hunched over and half-walking, half-crawling, until we reached the end of a low exit overhead that was obscured by straw and stone slabs.

I was more nervous than I could not find a way in the tomb, so I slowly pushed the stone slab away, straightened up and looked out, and when I saw that there was no one, I quietly climbed up, found a hidden place to hide, and looked around at the surrounding environment.

After Ziwei and Tang Jiao restored the camouflage at the exit, they hid with me and whispered, "It's the little girl's room just now." ”

There are a lot of childish graffiti on the wall, and I can't understand the content, as if a small man wearing a crown leads many people to fight on the battlefield to subdue the enemy.

The rest of the place was simply furnished, except for the bed, table and chairs, and the broken arms and legs of some rag dolls thrown on the floor.

"Did she go to the adults to complain?" Tang Jiao said weakly: "What if we hide here if we are exposed?" It's not a good place to stay for long. ”

I hummed, and was about to go to the door to find out the situation, but the door opened first, and the little girl was held by another adult, and said something in her mouth, as if scolding. The child pouted and was dissatisfied, and could not speak, and made a very frightened gesture to the adult, and wanted to run out, but the man raised his hand and slapped her, and yelled at her, and when he saw that she was crying, he grabbed the stick that was put aside and used against the door and struck her vigorously.

The cries and throbs mingled harshly, and Ziwei frowned at me. I knew that I would definitely be caught at this time, so I made a gesture to him not to move.

When he hesitated, another person came in from outside the door, interrupting the violence against the little girl.

"It's Miss Mu." Tang Jiao's eyes lit up when he saw her, and people cheered up when they looked at her.

The person who beat the person seemed to be very respectful to her, Mu Jinshu sent the person out in a few words, closed the door, and left the two of them to say something to the little girl, and the little girl nodded and signed to her.

The more I looked at her gestures, the more it looked like she was talking about the tomb, and when she pointed her finger at the hole we came out of, I was extremely nervous.

The hiding place was too close to the entrance of the cave, as long as Mu Jinshu came to check, he could see us from the side.

I whispered to Ziwei, and motioned with my eyes for him to cooperate with me for a while, and he understood what I wanted to do, nodded, and quietly moved his position so that he could do it for a while.

After the little girl finished playing sign language, Mu Jinshu asked her what she had just said, and after the little girl nodded her head to confirm, she really walked in this direction to check the strangeness of the cave entrance.

When she was about to spot us, Ziwei and I rushed out at the same time, and at the same time went straight to the two targets in front of us, subduing their actions and covering their mouths before they could make a voice to call for help.

Seeing us doing it, Tang Jiao took it out and picked up the wooden stick on the ground and put it on the door to prevent anyone from coming in at this time.

"We won't hurt you." I said to Mu Jinshu, "I know that to you, we outsiders are all demons who have plundered your land and homeland. But the truth may not be what you know, if you are willing to talk to us calmly about these things, you just nod your head, and I will let you go. But if you shout, I'll hurt you at the first moment and take someone away, that won't do you any good, we're here to solve the problem, we don't want to have an argument with you. ”

Mu Jinshu looked at me with hatred, and after a while, nodded.

I let her go little by little, beware of her changing hexagrams, and Ziwei was still holding the little girl.

Mu Jinshu glanced in that direction and said lightly: "Break into someone else's house and kidnap the master, threaten me to talk to you about the sins you have committed, what result do you want?" Let's forgive, and then continue plundering with peace of mind? Do you also call it harmless? ”

"We didn't know about it decades ago, we weren't here for that, it was our fault for lying to you before, I apologize to you. But you were the ones who broke the peace between the two sides first, and we were offended by this, but you also arrested our friends first, and what we are doing now is really helpless. No one would risk coming to this place for no particular reason, and since I came, I had to find an answer. ”

Mu Jinshu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Since you know that your friend is in our hands, and you act rashly, aren't you afraid that I don't care about this child at all, and after leaving this room, I will immediately send someone to kill him?" ”

Ziwei said: "Maybe that friend is not as important to us as you think, we don't care about his life or death, we just want to save our own life." ”

Mu Jinshu sneered, "If you don't care, you won't gamble your life to come back to save him." ”

I said, "If this kid is not important to you, you won't talk so much nonsense to us." ”

"A few masters, can we just get down to business? You're dying of me, is it fun to guess at each other? Let's get along harmoniously with less routines, okay? "If Tang Jiao hadn't been so weak, I'm afraid he would have jumped on the roof to protest with us by now.

"Okay, then let's sit down and make things clear." Mu Jinshu pulled out a chair and sat down, sweeping it over me, "You said that you came here for a special reason, I would be interested in hearing about it." ”

I got straight to the point and said bluntly: "Actually, we didn't know Wang Min before, and we robbed him of his communication talisman, so we made up those words in order to avoid being misunderstood as soon as we came up, in fact, we came here for cockroaches, and it was only by mistake that we could find the boundary monument and enter the enchantment." ”

Mu Jinshu sneered when he heard Wang Min's name, and shook his fingers on the armrest of the chair fiercely.

I observed her mood and continued, "There's a strange thing going on in my hometown, where a bad guy has killed dozens of people in the town, and the only clue is that we found this bug in a corpse. According to their living habits, the closest suitable environment for cockroaches to grow is here. ”

"So you're the one who doubts us?" Mu Jinshu looked at me coldly.

"I only look at clues, not at anyone."

"It's impossible for our people to get out of the barrier, and we're not the only ones with cockroaches, and as you can see, there have been some problems in the barrier recently, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get in. Maybe your hometown is just unlucky and bumped into bugs migrating out of the river. ”

"But the outside environment is not suitable for their reproduction, if something doesn't happen to Muzhang County, why should they migrate?"

This time Mu Jinshu didn't answer, I said: "We have our purpose, you have your problem, since there is no conflict of interests between each other, why can't we temporarily turn the conflict into a jade silk, maybe we have a way to help you." ”

"Why are you boasting about Haikou here? At least for now, I don't see anything you can do other than escape. ”

"That's because you didn't give us a chance." Tang Jiao said: "Our girl is very good at doing shady things, and the one who was arrested by you, as long as you release him, there is nothing that can't be done." ”

Mu Jinshu was about to hurt him angrily, but when he saw his face in a blink of an eye, the person's movements paused, hesitated for a moment, got up from the chair, and walked to Tang Jiao's side.

Tang Jiao was startled, and before she knew what she was going to do, she grabbed her chin and pinched it tightly, and there was no hope of escaping, she was pinched and looked left and right twice, and then opened her eyes to take a look. Before he could speak, Mu Jinshu suddenly retreated a few steps like a plague god, grabbed a piece of cloth and wiped it vigorously on his hand, frowned and said, "It's the attack period of cockroaches, you are poisoned." ”

"No, what do you mean?" Tang Jiao was at a loss, the sweat on his face was dripping down again, and he covered his stomach and said, "I didn't encounter insects at that time, didn't Jiang Xun say that those snakes are not poisonous?" ”

Mu Jinshu pondered and asked uncertainly: "What have you eaten outside the boundary monument in Muzhang County?" ”

"Eat, we arrived a few days ago and stayed outside for a few days."

"That's right." Mu Jinshu laughed, this time, the smile was a little desolate, "Everyone is infected, and they can't run, this is retribution, they deserve it!" ”
