Chapter 47: The Snake Crest of the Bush
Zhang Qixun and Wu Xiaoxie converged in the jungle.
While Wu Xiaoxie breathed a sigh of relief, he also recounted what happened after they left, talking about the pheasant neck when they were not paying attention to steal the body of "A Ning" from under the tarp.
The fat man lamented: "It's a pity that the string is ten copper coins, the naïve and dead-eyed man has to let me go back, what can I do if I return it? It's not like the pheasant's neck is gone."
Wu Xiaoye glared at him, "A-Ning and we are acquaintances, it's pitiful enough to die unfortunately, you won't even let go of other people's relics."
The fat man pouted, "It's a relic that's left for the living, and since you've taken that thing away, it's the spoils of pheasant's neck."
"Hey you......" Wu Xiaoxie's eyes were about to burst into a small flame.
Zhang Qi hurriedly persuaded: "Okay, okay, you two don't fight, isn't it just a string of ten copper coins, that is, it is rare, and it is not a peerless artifact, there must be a lot of treasures in the palace of the Queen Mother of the West, and you can take as many as you want when the time comes."
As soon as the fat man heard the music, there was a wooden fish, and his path to the Mingqi was much smoother.
Wu Xiaoxie didn't want to have a meaningless quarrel, so he changed the topic, "I don't know where that guy chased Chen Wenjin to."
"Don't worry." Zhang Qixun patted him on the shoulder, "Little brother is so capable, there will definitely be no accident, didn't you say that you left a message in the original camp, if the little brother returns there, he will definitely follow the route and rush over."
Wu Xiaoxie sighed, "I hope so."
As soon as Zhang Qi came to find it, he didn't do anything and kept it, and his sense of security increased more than twice.
Zhang Qixun urged Wu Xiaoxie and the fat man to hurry up and rest, Pan Zi was worried about the third master's side and couldn't sleep, so he kept vigil with Zhang Qixun.
When Hei Tian woke up, the fog around him faded a lot, at least he could see things five meters away, and the moon that was half missing in the night sky looked fluffy under the slightly thin fog, revealing a poetic hazy beauty.
Wu Xiaoxie got up and moved his stiff and sore body, and his muscles and bones made a toothache rattling sound.
There was only a fat man guarding the fire, and Wu Xiaoxie felt strange, so he asked, "What about Muyu and Panzi?" Where have you gone?"
The fat man waved his hand to stop talking, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the tree diagonally above his head.
Wu Xiaoxie looked at it and was stunned, how did these two learn monkeys to climb trees?
The fat man whispered, "Just now Muyu said that there was movement in the woods, so they climbed up to take a look."
Wu Xiaoxie said "ah" lightly, and said in his heart that it wouldn't be a little brother.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly poked his head out of the branch above, glanced at the two people below, and then beckoned them to come up.
Wu Xiaoxie and the two climbed up in fear, and Pan Zizheng was holding a telescope and staring closely at the canopy in the mist in the distance.
Zhang Qixun handed the telescope in his hand to Wu Xiaoxie, and pointed in a direction for him to see, "Take a closer look, if there is a person on the branch over there."
Pan Zi turned over and moved out of the way for him to see.
"Over there, about twenty meters away from us, there's a dark shadow on a branch."
Wu Xiaoxie speculated, "Could it be a little brother?"
"It's not." Zhang Qixun shook his head and denied his speculation, "The body shape doesn't look like it, if the little brother comes to us, he will definitely be above board, and he won't make such an ugly posture."
The human-like black shadow curled up behind the branches and leaves, tilting its head, as if peering through the leaves, could not see very well in the thin mist and yellow-orange-orange moonlight.
Wu Xiaoxie also felt that it shouldn't be, the two long arms of that mass were covered with mud, and they hung down softly as if they were dead.
"Could that be Chen Wenjin?" Wu Xiaoxiao said.
When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly pulled Panzi, "Come on, Pan, give me the binoculars, and I'll take a look too."
As soon as he saw it, he said "", and said softly: "I guess it's really her, I can't let her slip away this time, let's be careful to outflank her."
In the past, block her in a tree and leave her with no way to escape."
Pan Zi was also a little anxious, and immediately agreed.
Just as he was about to get off the tree, Zhang Qixun grabbed him with an ugly face, "Don't worry, something is wrong."
Pan Zi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Qixun scolded secretly, and handed the telescope to the fat man, "Fat man, look carefully, the hand farther away from the trunk, the one hidden on the edge of the leaves, the thing on the hand, is it very familiar?"
The fat man looked inexplicable, took it and put it in front of him, and when he saw it, he gasped in shock, "It's numb, hell, how could A-Ning be there!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaoxie and both of them broke out in a cold sweat.
"Didn't you say that Aning's corpse was stolen by the pheasant's neck?" Zhang Qi said suspiciously.
"!" Wu Xiaoxie's unconscious scalp began to tingle, and the copper coin bracelet was still worn by him on the wrist of "A Ning", how could he not recognize it.
"Damn." The fat man smacked his tongue, "It's at least a hundred kilometers away from where we started, and there are mud pits and woods all the way, and the corpses are getting to the trees at this time, are they playing a "snake loose" competition?"
Pan Zi also frowned, "Those snakes actually transported the corpses here, what do they want to do?"
Zhang Qixun snorted coldly, "No matter what they want to do, but they must be coming for us, fat man, there are still three grenades left, right?"
Wu Xiaoxie realized what he wanted to do, and just as he wanted to speak, Zhang Qixun raised his hand to stop talking.
"Do you still want to bring the body back?" Zhang Qixun frowned, his eyes were cold, "I dare to guarantee that there must be a dense crowd of snakes under the canopy over there, and it is impossible for the Heavenly King Lao Tzu to bring the corpse out when he comes, it is better to burn it completely with a fire, and those snakes that are burned together should be regarded as a burial for A-Ning."
The fat man patted Wu Xiaoxie on the shoulder, "Don't worry about that little girl's corpse anymore, blowing it up directly is the safest way we can think of now."
Panzi is also in favor of this method.
"Now the enemy's situation is unknown, and rushing over is to send us to death, maybe the snakes brought the corpses here to lure us into the bait."
Wu Xiaoxie sighed, although he felt regretful in his heart, but there was no better way at this time, and after reciting a sentence of Amitabha, he agreed.
Opinions were agreed, Pan Zi had experience in jungle warfare, and quickly made arrangements.
Packing up all the equipment on the ground and taking it with him, Zhang Qixun got some sulfur powder with egg whites and smeared it on several people.
Everything was ready, and Panzi climbed the tree with a telescope to give the fat man direction.
Zhang Qixun and Wu Xiaoxie were guarding the fat man with guns.
