Chapter 16: Saving Lives

The aroma of the stew is getting stronger and stronger, and when the lid is lifted, the soup has been boiled to a milky white color.

The young man sat in front of the pot with his waist straight, and took out some unknown dried vegetables from his bag and sprinkled them in, and the fragrance was immediately overflowing.

Just as he picked a piece of fat and was about to feast on it, he was suddenly interrupted by a deep voice:

"Don't eat it! Your companion poisoned it. ”

"Who! Who's there! ”

The young man was frightened, and after reacting, he immediately threw away the fat meat, picked up the short knife and was about to cut it indiscriminately.

"Don't move! He's still staring at you! The voice sounded again, scolding the panicked youth.

When the young man was still hesitating whether to be obedient or not, Xiang Jiuxi continued to lower his voice and said, "I could have been idle, but I don't want to watch you die!" ”

Perhaps the two of them had a grudge, but the young man hesitated for a few seconds before choosing to believe Xiang Jiuxi, throwing down the short knife, and pretending that nothing had happened.

"Who are you, and how are you here?"

The young man pretended to pick up a piece of fat again, and at the same time pricked up his ears to carefully identify the source of the sound, trying to find Xiang Jiuxi's hiding place.

"Don't look for it, I'm here to save you, not to harm you."

"I am in the light, and you are in the dark, so why should I believe you?"

"If you don't believe me, you can just try a bite of meat, or call your companion to come and arrest me. Now that I have spoken, I am mentally prepared for everything. ”

The young man judged the approximate location of Xiang Jiuxi through the source of the sound, but he hid it so hidden that he had to give up after searching for it to no avail.

Moreover, carefully pondering Xiang Jiuxi's words, with a bit of honesty, he glanced at the thin and tall man in the distance, and indeed always observed himself inadvertently.

In comparison, Xiang Jiuxi is much more reliable, but he is not a fool who will believe nonsense, so he asked tentatively: "You saved me just because of kindness?" ”

"I have something I want to ask you, as long as you promise me the truth, I will help you deal with him."

Obviously, the tall and thin man has a gun in his hand and has a clear advantage, and it is difficult for one person to have a chance of winning unless the two join forces.

Xiang Jiuxi grasped this point and dared to boldly win over young people.

Of course, the young man can also understand the current situation, and answer without thinking: "Ask." ”

"First question, are you members of the Garden of Eden?"

As soon as these words came out, the young man was suddenly stunned, his organization had been hidden for decades and had never shown up, how could it be known by outsiders?

Unless, unless it's someone inside the organization who reveals it.

"Who the hell are you?" The young man realized Xiang Jiuxi's danger and secretly touched the short knife in his hand.

Xiang Jiuxi had already gotten the answer from the young man's reaction, and then continued to ask: "Second question, have you ever seen the sun?" ”

Sun?

The young man's pupils contracted suddenly, and he couldn't believe that Xiang Jiuxi would ask this question, and his hand holding the knife began to tremble, as if he was struggling with a strong thought.

Xiang Jiuxi also sweated in his palms when he saw the young man's actions, for fear that he would do something stupid with his brain and disrupt his plan.

Suddenly, the young man's hand holding the knife loosened, and he fell to the ground in extreme pain, convulsing back and forth as if he was suffocating, and after a while, he stopped moving.

Xiang Jiuxi was stunned for a moment, thinking that he hadn't eaten poisonous meat either, how could he ......

"Yes."

Surprised, the young man answered his question in a whisper, and there was no sign of poisoning at all.

The painful expression before that was all acted?

At this time, Xiang Jiuxi realized that he had made a fatal mistake, he forgot that this was the last days of the jungle, how could a simple-minded person survive until now.

He originally wanted to lead the contradiction to the young man and the tall and thin man, let them fight against each other, so that he could secretly control the development of the situation, but he didn't expect the young man to eat this set at all.

When the young man lies like this, he can not only tell whether the tall and thin man has been poisoned, but also put himself in the dark, and now the only person who is in the open is the tall and thin man who seems to be shrewd......

Sure enough, seeing the young man lying down, the tall and thin man immediately ran back happily, shouting as he ran: "The strength of the-like medicine is quite big!" Zao Teniang's eyes are not pleasing to the eye, if it weren't for the sake of the Lord of Yanshan, Lao Tzu would have chopped you up a long time ago! ”

The tall and thin man ran to the young man's side like a wild dog, rubbed his palms like a fly, and said greedily: "The one with fine skin and tender meat must be better than that wild monkey!" ”

As he spoke, he picked open the young man's shirt with his dagger, trying to disembowel it like he would with a ghost-faced monkey.

"Huh?"

The tall and thin man's eyes widened and he was suddenly stunned, as if he had seen something terrible.

Taking advantage of this gap, the young man quickly picked up the short knife that had fallen in his hand, and a cold light flashed, cleanly piercing the thin man's throat.

The tall and thin man covered his neck with his hands and stared at the young man in disbelief: "You...... You! ”

"Whew!"

Without hesitation, the young man stabbed his neck again, and the tall and thin man fell to the ground, turning into a corpse after a puddle of blood foamed from his mouth and nose.

Before Xiang Jiuxi could react to the changes in front of him, he saw the young man pick up the tall and thin man's rifle with his backhand, aim the muzzle in the direction where he was, and shouted: "Get out of here!" ”

"What an old and spicy skill...... Xiang Jiuxi sighed silently in his heart, completely changing his view of young people.

Things have developed so far, he can still retreat with his whole body, after all, there are intricate caves under him, as long as he gets in, the young man will not dare to pursue rashly.

Still, he chose to crawl out of the hole and expose himself to the gun, as he still had one last hole card in his hand.

"Take my word for it now."

Xiang Jiuxi climbed out of the cave and walked towards the young man, and finally stopped at a distance of seven or eight meters from him.

"Huh?"

Closing the distance, he was suddenly stunned, and instantly understood why the thin and tall man made such an expression before he died.

The young Uesugi had been cut open with a dagger by a tall and thin man, and under the half-open placket, there was a secret hidden by no one......

"You! You...... How are you a woman? Xiang Jiuxi's face turned red, and he hurriedly looked away, not daring to look around.

"What about women? It's not easy to kill you! ”

Swish!

A crisp voice sounded, and Xiang Jiuxi immediately felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder, and red blood flowed down his sleeve.

"Hey! That's how you repay your life-saver! ”

Youth...... No, the woman's voice was very indifferent: "It's because you saved my life that this shot didn't pierce your head!" ”

Xiang Jiuxi's expression was painful, he covered his injured left shoulder with his hand, and suddenly noticed some changes in his body, and a trace of strangeness crossed his face.

The woman held the rifle with one hand, pulled the placket of her clothes with the other hand to cover her shame, and then asked without question: "Now I will ask, and you will answer." First, how did you know about the Garden of Eden? ”

Xiang Jiuxi weakly pointed to the entrance of the cave and said, "I found a person in there, and he told me." ”

"What about people?"

"It's dead."

"You killed it?"

"Don't wronged anyone, I don't have the habit of shooting at people casually, he has only one breath left when I find him......"

Swish!

Before the words fell, a trace of gloom flashed in the corner of the woman's eyes, and she fired another shot without hesitation.

A cool breeze swept through Xiang Jiuxi's ears, and the bullet flew past his eyebrows, piercing the stones behind him, so powerful......

"I'll blow your head out if you talk nonsense!" The woman viciously warned Xiang Jiuxi, and then continued to ask, "What did he tell you?" ”

He said, he said...... He hid a blue stone in the cave and asked me to bring the news to the people of Eden. I asked him where the Garden of Eden was, and he said, 'Where the sun is rising.'" And then...... Then he lost his breath. ”

"That's it?"

Xiang Jiuxi nodded innocently: "That's it." ”

The woman let her guard down a bit, then asked the second question: "Who are you?" ”

Xiang Jiuxi shook his head helplessly, and pointed in the direction of the city: "I was originally the governor of that city, but I was betrayed by my subordinates and was forced to live here. ”

The woman began to look at Xiang Jiuxi again, after all, she was still a life-saver, she finally put away her rifle and said, "Take me to find the blue stone, I'll take you to a safe place to live, how about it?" ”
