Chapter 10: The Wooden Knife in the Stump

The sun is rare and warm.

On this late autumn morning, the whole abandoned town that has been abandoned for sixty years no longer gives people a cold, terrifying and desolate feeling, and the flowers and trees here present a dazzling brightness, as if to hit people's hearts, making people want to grow three heads and six eyes to imprint all this deeply.

In short, this is a beautiful country at this moment, and the screen is overflowing with full colors.

Qin Ge stood on the cross street of the small city, there was a moment of trance, even if his education level was not high, he would not pile up flowery rhetoric, but at this moment he was really pleasing to the eye, so that he had no interest in searching for the mysterious wooden knife.

The sky was really blue, the sun was really warm, and the colors were really bright, so bright that Qin Ge felt that he had never seen such a brightness in his life memories in the past 17 years, as if everything was gray and stinky.

It's incredible.

Qin Ge swore that he was not the sassy person he talked about in the book.

"So it's another strange thing, it's not my senses, it's the town. ”

Qin Ge said to himself, when he was outside the small city, there were blue sky and white clouds, green grass, and yellow and red woods were also one after another, but there was definitely no such refreshing super cool feeling.

What kind of senses the others were, he didn't know, but because of the very serious injuries he had suffered before, he almost died, although he was rescued by Wu Li with precious medicine, and he was almost healed, but if it was compared to Qin Ge's peak state, it was at least three or five levels worse.

But now, after standing on the crossroads of this small town for less than ten minutes, Qin Ge felt that he was so energetic that he could kill a cow.

In this case, if he still thinks it is just an ordinary thing, then he is too stupid.

What's more, Qin Ge has always been excellent at sensibility, and his mother has said more than once that he would be a good melee fighter, although Qin Ge's favorite and most desirable thing is to become a magician.

"Here, in fact, is the center of the entire county, two north-south intersecting streets form a cross axis, along this cross axis to the surrounding area, sixty years ago should have been the most prosperous area in the entire county, but the wooden knife will probably not appear here, I will wait here." ”

Qin Ge jumped onto a half-collapsed traffic police booth, a mountain pear tree grew nearby, the branches and leaves were very lush, but there were not many mountain pears that bore them.

Pick one and eat a bite, sweet and sour, a lot of juice, there is an indescribable fragrance, very delicious, this is rare, you must know that even if the general pear has a sweet and sour taste, but it is also very astringent, and there is a lot of dregs, it is no problem to try it, but it is a disaster to eat.

So Qin Ge was not polite, he picked all the pears on the tree in a few moments, and then he sat on this collapsed sentry box, basking in the sun, gnawing on the pears at the same time, eating juice splashing, very comfortable, and then somehow, maybe it was the warm sun, he felt very sleepy, and he didn't even have the idea of warning, so he fell asleep.

This night, he slept in the dark, and when Qin Ge woke up again, he heard a noisy sound, and many people were arguing.

"What's the situation?"

Qin Ge opened his eyes and found that he had actually fallen into the sentry box, a clump of half-human deep weeds covered him, as if no one had discovered his existence.

It should have been a long time, at least around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, which means that he slept for at least seven hours, which is really strange.

But this is not the only strange thing, there is also a pear tree missing overhead.

Qin Ge got up from the grass, plucked a few withered yellow leaves on the top of his head, and saw that the pear tree that was still flourishing a few hours ago had been cut down, and all that was left was a stake.

Almost all the bounty hunters were around, and although they were not tense and swords and guns, they were also very emotional.

And the reason for their quarrel is naturally very simple, in the past seven hours, they have basically searched the entire county - of course it is impossible, but at least according to the clues provided by Wu Li, they can exclude many areas.

So in the end, someone thought of the pear tree at the crossroads.

Isn't it, this was originally a cross street, all asphalt floor, extending out in all directions for a hundred meters without seeing the garden woods, only vehicles and pedestrians passing through here, how could a pear tree suddenly appear?

Someone can't eat a pear and spit it out here, right?

As for whether the wooden knife of the handicraft will take root again, it is basically no longer considered, what they have to do is to eliminate all suspicions.

In this way, when the bounty hunters cut down the pear tree, they saw the object in the stump that appeared to be a wooden knife.

Now, the bounty hunters are not arguing about the ownership of the wooden knife, nor are they thinking about monopolizing the wooden knife, because this is what many people have witnessed, according to Wu Li, as long as you find the wooden knife first and pull it out, you can get ten more gold coins.

Therefore, these bounty hunters were discussing, should they negotiate with Wu Li and give more gold coins?

"I think there's something strange about this, this wooden knife can't be pulled out, at least not easily. ”

At this time, someone suddenly spoke, it was the bearded man who had impressed Qin Ge during the previous test, and this guy's spear piercing was very imposing.

But immediately someone sneered and retorted.

"So, Wang Dong, you plan to pay each of us 20 gold coins?"

"That's it, we're bounty hunters, this is the order of that black iron level anti-virus hunter, what qualifications do you have to question, or even if you want to question, why bother looking for us bitter haha, just go directly to the honorable lord and say no, or you just go to the government to complain." ”

Someone else teased.

"But don't you think it's strange about this? This wooden knife was inserted here and turned into a pear tree, so why didn't Wu Li come and get it himself, and what happened before was too strange, everyone, don't forget what era this is, but if there is wind and grass, you have to consider the invasion of the virus. ”

The spearman Wang Dong still insisted on his opinion.

"Scared! Wang Dong, don't come to make a big deal for grandpa, the virus host grandpa doesn't know how many he has killed over the years, and he doesn't have more experience than you, not to mention that the five anti-virus hunters outside have been selected from the government and passed the assessment, are you questioning their identities? Why do you question it, just because you are a bounty hunter?"

"Yes, we are part-time workers, thinking about what to do so much, the most important thing now is how to negotiate with those anti-virus hunters, anyway, these twenty gold coins, I have earned it. ”

The crowd soon quarreled again, with people of all opinions.

There are only three bounty hunters who support Wang Dong.

There were thirteen bounty hunters who chose to negotiate with Wu Li.

There are three bounty hunters who choose to follow the crowd.

Choosing neutrality, belonging to the later, with no negotiating power, and only thinking about the base reward of ten gold coins, there are eight bounty hunters.

Five bounty hunters chose to keep the wooden knives for themselves, believing that they could sell for a lot of money on the black market.

Seeing that the quarrel here couldn't tell any results in a short time, Qin Ge got out of the watchtower and sneaked away, and no one noticed him.

Five minutes later, Qin Ge climbed onto the roof of a small four-story building, set up a 98K rifle on it, and took out a triple scope from his backpack.

Yes, Qin Ge also did not agree to pull out the wooden knife and give it to Wu Li.

But in the current situation, he can't stop those people from pulling out wooden knives, such as the heroic spearman Wang Dong, there are only three people who support him, how can he stop it?

So the best way is, don't talk nonsense, leave people behind, anyway, if that Wu Li really didn't dare to enter the small city, if he really had a ghost, then this day, he would probably have killed his four companions who dared to enter the city.
