Chapter 52: A Knife for Slaughter
The door of the small courtyard was pushed open heavily, and the men inside were all shirtless and were working in full swing, and when they heard the movement, they just wanted to scold the one who was not long-eyed, and when they saw their leader and Ji Ge walking in together, they suddenly smiled.
"Yo, little brother, how does it taste to go down the mountain, haha, I'm afraid I won't be willing to come back when I see a beautiful girl......"
"Hahaha......"
This group of men always likes to say a few words of kindness, without a trace of evil thoughts, Ji Ge only feels warm in his heart.
"Uncles and brothers, I'm back, but I didn't see the girl, I only saw a lot of disgusting insects with red shells, and I haven't looked good yet, haha......"
"Uh...... Hey, boy, how did you get your mouth on me, I ...... I don't, I'm not good-looking!"
A group of men were stunned when they heard Ji Ge's words, they didn't expect this sullen young man to choke back, but then they reacted and laughed, only a crooked-mouthed man didn't give up, his mouth kept pulling up, and he stammered, and he glanced at Ji Ge angrily, very angry.
"Haha, don't talk about crooked mouths...... I'm going to be scared to pee several times at night when I see you like this......"
"That's it, that's it...... Lord's feet are better looking than you!"
There was a big man who was criticized by the butchers for his smelly feet, and he lifted his foul-smelling mud feet, looking very disdainful, and told him to stop saying more.
But it made the people on the side vomit again and again, and their crooked mouths showed a face of extreme disgust, frowning as if they had suffered a bitter gall.
"Okay, don't make trouble, there's still business, let's get to work!" the butcher leader spoke, and the group immediately dispersed to do things obediently, and did not forget to squeeze their eyebrows at Ji Ge.
Ji Ge enjoys this feeling very much, as if she has returned to the place where she has been mixed up since childhood, and the little people also have the joys and sorrows of the little people, as well as their stories.
Most of the butchers in the lowest position in these castles were the descendants of captive servants, who had been kept in captivity since childhood, and almost never went out, and for them, life was so simple and monotonous, with a knife in their hands mixed with a few cans of wine to drink, and this group of brothers was enough.
Ji Ge followed the butcher's head to the low house in the small courtyard, closed the door, and there were several smaller iron cages in the house, all covered with black cloth like last time, and only the occasional sound of scale iron hitting reminded Ji Ge that there were living beasts imprisoned there.
The butcher leader casually pushed aside the cold scorching scraps of the previous night on the table, sat down on it, picked up a bone with a little shredded meat left in his mouth, and spit it out with a snort.
"Tell me, what's the matter, do you want to get more blood from me?" asked the butcher with a smirk, moving his buttocks.
Ji Ge looked at his eyes seriously, and said clearly: "My lord, I want to see your knife again!"
"Please teach me!" Ji Ge lowered his head and spoke earnestly.
"Oh?" the butcher was slightly surprised, frowning and staring at Ji Ge carefully, Ji Ge noticed that his eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, and became irritable, with a faint fear in his eyes.
"Bang bang!!"
An iron cage in the center of the room, as if smelling popularity, slammed the iron bar to the ground.
"Silence!" the butcher leader turned his head and roared violently, and his face was full of anger.
Suddenly, the iron cage fell silent, as if it was captured by the butcher's momentum, but a wisp of hissing came out unwillingly.
He looked back at Ji Ge, his left hand silently rubbing an old scar on the palm of his right hand, his breathing became heavy, and he felt an irrepressible irritability.
The butcher was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and said to Ji Ge: "There are people in the castle who don't let me teach you things, but you just look at it, see the undead! Don't blame me for peeking at this......" After speaking, he couldn't help but laugh proudly, and his troubles disappeared.
"Hey, you're going to see what a butcher's knife is!" He got under the table and took out a black wine jar, raised his head and took a big sip, poured another sip, pulled out one of the knives standing on the side, and held it horizontally in front of him, and the wine in his mouth sprayed on the blade, shining snow-white and dazzling.
Ji Ge took two steps back slightly, but the two eyeballs were firmly condensed in the butcher's hands, without blinking, he knew from the butcher's face that this seemed to faintly violate the taboo in the castle, the butcher leader risked violating the laws of the castle to knife him, how could he not cherish it, at this time he concentrated and did not dare to have a trace of slackness.
The butcher leader stared at Ji Ge and sighed, he knew that these teenagers were special, and he had also peeked into the corner of that weird and domineering black gas, and Ji Ge, the sword with his life, didn't know how much he could comprehend.
It's just that he was in a place where he shouldn't be, and he did something drunk and crazy that he shouldn't have.
The butcher leader walked over to the restless cage and hooked up the black cloth covering it with his knife, revealing the ferocious beast with strange limbs inside.
The alien beast was like a huge praying mantis, and it stood up, taller than Ji Ge and the others combined, with a long snout covered with spikes and a roar, its fangs green, and the terrible smell of acid dripping down, knocking small holes in the ground.
Its dark yellow eyes have no white pupils, and they are cloudy, but they make people shudder when they look at them.
Because it was dumb by the medicine, even if the long kiss was torn to the limit, the sound it made was only a low hiss, and there was a strange atmosphere in the dimly lit room.
The butcher head licked the wine stains on his lips, his eyes were unusually bright, and before Ji Ge could see the movement, a cold light swept by, and the chains on the iron cage "clicked" and fell.
"It's quite merry, it's you. In one sentence, the death sentence of this strange beast was announced.
The mantis-like beast noticed that the chain had fallen, and the giant scythe-like pincers knocked the cage door away with a clatter, and suddenly drilled out.
Compared to the last thorn scales, this strange beast was much more cautious, its long, dark yellow eyes squinted, and there was a sinister glint in it, staring at the human beneath him who had caught it in and now set it free.
The butcher's round face shook as he smiled and leapt to his feet, slashing at the beast.
"Look at it!"
When the beast saw the butcher move, the cold light on the knife seemed to pierce its eyes, and it immediately roared silently, raised the giant tongs and chopped it down, as if it was about to cut off the butcher's body in the next moment, and the flesh and blood flew sideways!
Seeing the giant pincers approaching, the butcher's knife momentum did not decrease in the slightest, but became more and more pressing, and his body slashed through an afterimage like lightning, slashing out a semicircle, and suddenly slashed down.
At this moment, he didn't seem to be wielding a knife, but the whole person turned into a butcher's knife, invincible, and the butcher's body was filled with flames like fire, as if burning all his soul and energy.
A cold and glamorous sword fell, awe-inspiring and incomprehensible!
Ji Ge forgot everything at this moment, the world gradually faded, only a phantom remained, in his eyes, there was only that person, that knife!
Ji Ge suddenly had a strange feeling, even if it was a big mountain, he would tremble under this knife!
There was not a sound, and the room was quiet again after the light of the knife was extinguished, but the beast had fallen with a bang, its dark yellow eyes fading until it was dead silent.
Its entire body was cut in half under this knife, separated from the skull to the tail segment, the knife edge was smooth and neat, without a little bump, and after a long time, green blood flowed out of it, which was diametrically opposed to the fishy saliva, and the green blood actually exuded a sweet fragrance, which made Ji Ge unconsciously smell a few more sips.
The butcher leader took a deep breath, revealing a look of intoxication, and put the knife horizontally in front of him, which splashed some saliva of strange beasts, and was corroded into a few small holes, the butcher shook his head regretfully, and threw the knife to Ji Ge casually.
"Make do with it, that's it for today, it's time for a drink, remember to clean the house when you leave. ”
The butcher leader picked up the jug, took a few sips, carefully stepped over the green blood of the alien beast, and staggered out of the room humming a little song.
Ji Ge was stunned there, there was no response, and the butcher didn't care about him and went out, and after a while, Ji Ge came to his senses, but the cold knife light kept replaying in his mind, only to feel that his hands and feet were cold, and there was cold sweat.
Ji Ge meticulously cleaned up the house, dragged out the two halves of the corpse of the strange beast and handed it to the old butcher, and then closed the door and left.
Ji Ge picked up the bag in the corner without thinking and prepared to leave, he kept thinking about the knife in his heart, lowered his head and walked forward silently, his eyes wandered, as if he had lost his soul, his whole brain was immersed in it, and he accidentally bumped and bumped under his feet, but Ji Ge didn't feel it at all, and just walked in a daze.
There was a loud shout from behind, and after shouting several times, Ji Ge suddenly came to his senses, scratched his head in confusion, and stopped to respond.
“...... Uh-huh, what's the matter?"
