Chapter 43: Mysterious Disappearance
Seeing that Zhang Qixun and the little brother ran away separately, Wu Xiaoxie was left dumbfounded.
Wu Xiaoxie looked left and right, and lost the sentence "We will also chase separately", and as soon as he ran two steps, he was dragged by Pan Zi, and one fell into the mud pit.
"Stop chasing." Panzi gouged him out of the mud, "They were so fast that we were half a beat slower, and we couldn't catch up."
The fat man wiped the rain from his face, turned his head and asked, "Are you sure that's Chen Wenjin?" Naive, don't you know her? Then she hasn't seen her for many years, she's embarrassed or what, why did she run away when she saw someone?"
Wu Xiaoxie snorted out of the muddy water in his mouth, and was speechless when he heard the words, "That person is black and muddy, I can't even tell if it's a man or a woman, how can I know who he is."
Besides, even if it is Chen Wenjin, after so many years, his appearance must be different from when he was a child, and he can recognize it at once.
"So what do we do now? Why don't you grab your equipment and try to chase after it, and if you run into it, you can still support it." The fat man said.
Pan Zi waved his hand and persuaded him to dispel this thought, "That little brother and Muyu are both very measured, if it is something that they are not sure about, we will go in and add to the chaos, the jungle is full of dangers, and they will be rescued in the end, it is better to stay where they are, and wait for the rain to stop tomorrow morning before making plans."
The fat man thought about it, instead of soaking in the water to attract the pheasant's neck, it was better to go back to the stone platform.
The three returned to shore, tied the sapper's shovel with rope, and hung up the wet clothes.
The tea on the smokeless stove was boiled again, and Pan Zi habitually added some cold water to it, and the boiling tea bubble instantly calmed his anger.
As time passed, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the perimeter of the tarp seemed to be hung with a curtain of water droplets that would not break, making it wet and foggy, and the visibility was getting lower and lower.
Wu Xiaoxie always felt uneasy in his heart, and immediately woke up after taking a nap, he couldn't hide his annoyance, his chest seemed to be blocked with something, and he couldn't breathe.
glanced at the fat man who was sleeping soundly with his head and snoring, and then looked at the rain outside and didn't know what he was thinking.
I simply got up and wanted to take a look outside.
But as soon as he got together, Yu Guang suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and his scalp suddenly went numb.
He wasn't sure if he had read it wrong, so he took a deep breath and carried the miner's lamp to the edge of the tarp, to the corpse of "A-Ning", and stepped carefully step by step.
Walked over to the sleeping bag and looked at it, and there was a buzzing in my head.
The sleeping bag was empty, and the body of "A-Ning" had mysteriously disappeared!
"Panzi, fatty!" Wu Xiaoye hurriedly ran over to call the two of them, "It's broken, it's broken, something is wrong, A-Ning's body is gone!"
The fat man was so frightened by this voice that he was stunned, and when he opened his eyes, he was stupid, and scolded, "***, who did it?"
The three of them looked at each other, their faces blank.
A good corpse just disappeared under their noses, is this worth it?
"Could it be a pheasant neck again?" Panzi guessed.
"That's not right." The fat man immediately retorted to him, "Didn't the wooden fish sprinkle snake-proof snakes around the tarp......
"it!" The fat man screamed, and when the three of them looked at it, they found that the sulfur powder around the tarp had actually been dispersed by the rain.
This is also a ghost snake, I'm afraid that after a while, the pheasant's neck will be connected to their nest, and they will not be aware of it.
"Made." The fat man scolded, pulled out his dagger, and said to Wu Xiaoxie, "Innocent, you are lighting on the side, I'll go over and see if there is a pheasant neck hidden inside."
Pan Zi grabbed him and disagreed, "It's too dangerous, that kind of snake is very fast, if it really wants to pounce out and bite you, you can't react at all."
As he spoke, he pulled out two empty cans from his backpack and threw them at the sleeping bag.
"Bang dang", the iron canned food box smashed on the ground through a layer of cloth and made a crisp sound, clearly reaching the ears of the three people.
Waited for a while,
Seeing no movement in the sleeping bag, Pan Zi and the fat man had the courage to step forward and carefully open the sleeping bag.
The three of them couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.
The fat man said quietly, "No wonder you can carry away such a heavy corpse, just looking at these marks, there must be at least a hundred snakes in Teniang's, and if there are more, the elephants can be moved."
"What are these snakes trying to do when they take Anin's corpse?" Wu Xiaoxie said in confusion.
Pan Zi sneered, "It can't be for fun, snakes are very utilitarian, there must be a certain reason for transporting corpses, we have to be more careful, I always feel that they won't stop there."
There was another silence, and the boredom that had just faded in Wu Xiaoxie's heart came out again, and the terrifying dream that day was predicted in a trance appeared in his mind, and the human-like face like a snake was like a spell, lingering.
No, you can't sit still.
Wu Xiaoxiedeng stood up suddenly, pinched the lamp and walked out without saying a word.
Pan Zi hurriedly grabbed him, "Little Third Master, what are you doing?"
"I need to get Aning's body back." Wu Xiaoxie lowered his eyelids slightly, and his voice was suppressed, "She shouldn't die here, at least she can't be thrown into the snake pile, no matter what."
As soon as the words fell, he was slapped on the head by a fat man.
The fat man snatched the lamp from his hand, and scolded and persuaded, "Are you stupid, a person is a human being when he is alive, and he is just a stinky skin when he dies, I wanted to say it before, even if there is no pheasant neck, even if you guard the corpse and don't sleep, we can't take her out of here, and if it's not for a family, we can't die for a corpse."
Panzi pressed him down and persuaded: "People die like lights out, and there is no point in doing anything when they die, we didn't leave her by the waterfall, we are already worthy of our conscience, and what we took away were hundreds of snakes, what can we do if we find it?" With just the three of us, it is impossible to snatch the corpse back from the snake pile, this special mother is completely sent to death."
Wu Xiaoxie was suddenly deflated, grabbed his head, and his whole person was depressed.
After eating something casually, the three of them decided to wait for the little brother and Zhang Qixun in the same place, in fact, they didn't know where to go in the face of the pheasant neck that might pop up in the swamp at any time to do something.
Pan Zi added some fuel to the smokeless stove, afraid that Wu Xiaoxie would drill the tip of the horns, so he kept guarding beside him.
The fat man gathered the little sulfur mixed with egg whites that he could find, and put a little around everyone.
Worried about the comeback of the pheasant's neck, the three of them nested together back to back this night, and they didn't dare to blink their eyes to guard the surroundings, and the slightest disturbance would make them alarm bells.
The morning light was faint, and one or two monotonous bird calls came from the woods, and the night finally passed.
