Chapter 74: Human Skin Straw

It's also a shame that this product's physique is not ordinarily good, and the body temperature cools down at this time, and the small wound even the scab is closed.

Zhang Qixun disinfected and sutured him, and instructed him: "You stay here, I'll go find the little brother." ”

"The fat man will go with you." The fat man disagreed, and wanted to stand up with a gun.

"Come on." Zhang Qixun pressed on his shoulder and didn't let him get up, "Look at the wound on your leg, it's so deep, it's just been sewn up, don't crack it again in a while, I'll just go by myself and come back immediately." ”

The fat man knew that it was difficult to change the things he decided to make, so he stuffed the two remaining V40 cuties in his hands to him, and told him uneasily: "You and the little brother hurry up and come back, more than an hour, the fat man will definitely take someone to find you." ”

Zhang Qixun smiled and said OK, patted him on the shoulder, leaned close to his ear and whispered: "You should be careful when you stay here, before the lynx attack, someone in the Huo family broke the lamp, try not to get out of the sight of Huo Xiangu and Huo Chushi." ”

"Don't worry, there are many people here, and he doesn't dare to do it again." The fat man nodded solemnly.

Zhang Qixun nodded, turned around with the knife on his back, and walked into the darkness step by step.

He looked in the direction where the little brother's figure finally disappeared, and smelled a strong bloody smell more than 170 meters away from the camp along the way, and after searching for it, he found that a particularly large pool of blood had gathered under a big tree, and the blood had penetrated along the soil.

Looking up, he faced a face with white eyes, this face was still a little familiar, one of the people who took the fire pattern before entering the second sealing stone was him, it seems that this person is likely to be from other side tribes of the Huo family.

Anyway, there are no more people, and there is no need to take care of it, so Zhang Qixun pushed aside the bushes and continued to move forward.

Less than two meters, there was a pool of blood under the tree, and there was also a corpse hanging upside down on the tree, this person died much worse than the first, his neck was wiped with a knife, not to mention, the internal organs in his chest had long been hollowed out and eaten by the lynx, and the abdominal cavity was torn apart by the claws, and he was dragged and tied to the branches like a sausage, swaying with the wind, and the blood drops fell down drop by drop, and the fishy smell in the air was pervasive for a long time.

I don't know if these corpses are hung up by lynx to be used as a reserve of food, or if they are deliberately hung out to scare people, if it is really the second type, I have to say that the bad old man has a very heavy taste.

Zhang Qixun frowned and covered his nose, without any idea of going forward to check, looked up at the moon and estimated the direction, and continued to walk forward.

The corpses appeared one after the other in a clever way, as if someone had deliberately hung them on a tree to entice others to follow them.

Zhang Qixun sneered in his heart, it was all some tricks that were not in the flow, he wanted to see what he wanted to do with his shoulders.

The little brother didn't have a safety buckle on him, otherwise he would have followed the induction to find it.

After walking more than two hundred meters, a fifth corpse appeared, this corpse was placed in a slightly different position, it was hanging upright, and there was no blood under the tree.

Zhang Qixun leaned closer, suddenly paused, leaned down and used the dagger to flick in the grass a few times, and a metallic luster flashed.

He gently pushed aside the obstacle above, and found that it was an iron ring, and a chain of two fingers thick was attached to it.

He did not move the ring, but went around the place, climbed up the tree in twos and threes, cut the hemp rope around the corpse's neck, dragged it up and laid it flat on a thick branch, and looked carefully.

This corpse has been dried for a long time, the flesh on the surface is all shriveled due to lack of water, clinging to the bones, and the clothes on the body have long been faded and oxidized by the wind and rain, but it can still be seen that this style is a relatively old gray work uniform.

Zhang Qixun observed his facial bones, his eyebrows and forehead bones were high, the zygomatic arches were expanded, the eye sockets were deeply sunken, and the eyeballs were not there, but there were one or two sticks of hay sticking out of them, which seemed to be the remains of a crooked kernel.

After thinking about it, he put on his gloves and pulled the clothes off the neck of the skeleton, and a small black fly instantly came out of it.

Zhang Qixun leaned back to avoid it, and reached out in disgust to drive the insects away, and when he looked again, he realized that the inside of the skeleton was all stuffed with hay, no wonder he felt so light just now.

"A scarecrow with human skin?" Zhang Qixun muttered to himself.

I touched the pocket of the uniform, but I didn't find any valuable clues in it, and I guess I had already let the shoulders be collected.

So, what does it mean to have this thing here?

Or did he just hang them here as trophies, waiting for wild beasts or birds to eviscerate them and fill them with hay to make scarecrows?

Unable to figure out what the brain circuit of the collapsed shoulder was, Zhang Qixun used a dagger to pick up all the fabrics on the outside of the corpse, and found that there was a hole in the abdomen of the bones, and the hole was a film that looked like a spider's web, and there were some gray fine scales hanging on it.

It's it, snake scales!

A possibility suddenly popped up in his mind, Zhang Qixun quickly broke through the film, and sure enough, he found more than a dozen broken gray-white speckled eggshell fragments in the hay.

Collapsed shoulders are actually using human corpses to breed snakes!

Zhang Qixun subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction he came from, according to this, those fresh corpses had already drilled snakes.

Collapsed shoulders are not to become beast tamers, this is a lynx, and a snake.

Zhang Qixun wasn't sure what kind of snake these snakes were, or if he had discovered the secret of the black-haired snake and wanted to get something from these snakes.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly slipped down the tree, came to the iron ring he had found earlier, reached out to hold it, and pulled it out with all his might.

There was a dull clatter of metal, coming from the grass beside him.

Zhang Qixun walked over and pushed through the grass, where there was a small dirt bag hidden by a towering shrub, covered with a messy green grass, and there was a sunken gap in the middle of the haystack, and the grass stalks on both sides naturally hung down.

The gap is not wide, and I barely squeeze into it sideways, and below is a sloping dirt slope, and the soil layer is very solid and tampled on it, and it can be seen that it has been deliberately handled.

After going down the slope for about five or six meters, there was a turn in front of me, and there was an iron candlestick inlaid in the corner of the wall, on which was half a red candle.

Zhang Qixun gently scraped the earthen wall with his hand, and the fingertips of the gloves were stained with a layer of gray-white powder, a bit like the scale powder on the body of the moth, I don't know what the specific function is, he is still careful not to let the clothes rub against it.

Turning the corner, the tunnel in front of it was slightly wider, one and a half wide, and the surface of the wall was reinforced with wet mud and hay debris, and all the walls were covered with scales.

Continuing to walk inside, the space in front of him became much larger, a bit like the dome cellar where crops were stored in the village, and when his eyes moved down, he saw a lot of black fluttering, very ordinary stoneware jars, stacked in the corners of the wall, the size was not uniform, the largest was half a person high, and the smaller one was the size of a bucket.

He had seen this thing at Agui's house, and it was said that it was used to soak spicy bamboo shoots, and it was often used to pickle vegetables in the northern winter.

Zhang Qixun sniffed, there was an indescribable strange fishy smell wafting in the air, and he was still speculating whether there would be a lot of snakes in these clay jars, and he heard a very slight scratching sound from there.

Thinking of the little brother who was missing, he decided to make a quick decision, leaned over lightly, lifted the clay cover of one of them with lightning speed, and immediately took a few steps back to avoid something suddenly pouring out inside.

However, after waiting for a long time, nothing jumped out.

I was puzzled, and when I looked closer, I found that there were all cocoons inside, each of which was the size of an egg, and they were crowded at the bottom of the tank like cotton, and the scratching sound I heard was gone.

Suddenly having a bad premonition in his heart, Zhang Qixun quickly raised his head, only to find that in the dark corner above his head, there was a pair of glowing beanie eyes staring at him.

It was a black-haired snake with the thickness of a wrist, with a black body, spitting out letters in the direction of Zhang Qixun, as if it was capturing some information.

The scratching sound that Zhang Qixun heard just now was the sound of a large handful of black hairs on the top of its head scraping against the earthen wall as it crawled.

Zhang Qixun narrowed his eyes, clenched the dagger in his hand, and was about to fly out when his ears suddenly caught a rush of footsteps, shuttling through the grass above his head.

Realizing that the situation was wrong, Zhang Qixun immediately retreated lightly, but saw that the black-haired snake also followed.

Xu found a gap in the grass and dirt, and the sound of footsteps was outside, and the whole world fell silent.

Immediately afterwards, there was a series of chains dragging from above, and Zhang Qixun was shocked, and someone planned to seal the exit above.

At this moment, the black-haired snake was also impatient, swam to the center of the cave roof, and when Zhang Qixun was about to turn the corner, it suddenly attacked, like a flying belt, the snake body arched, the snake's mouth was wide open, and the fangs hidden in the upper jaw were completely exposed, and they pounced on Zhang Qixun's neck.

Zhang Qixun took two steps back, and the dagger in his hand was waved, and before the black-haired snake could play its advantage, he pierced his head with a knife and nailed it to the wall.

Due to the pressure on his head, the liquid in the venom glands squirted out along the teeth of the tube, and some of it flowed onto the scales of the earthen wall, and some of it splashed onto the placket of Zhang Qixun's clothes.

In an instant, a spicy and pungent smell enveloped Zhang Qixun, his brain was irrepressibly dizzy, his legs were weak for a while, he leaned against the wall and wanted to go out, but he fell to the ground.

In a trance, he seemed to see a blue-yellow flame burning on the wall, gradually spreading towards his location.

He told himself that he had to get out of here as soon as possible, but unfortunately he had climbed less than two meters forward, and he felt that he could not control the movement of his limbs, his eyes seemed to be bloodshot, and everything in front of him was covered with a layer of red mist.

Trying his best to climb the remaining few meters, a misty figure shook in front of him, the figure was wearing a white hooded cloak, as if he didn't see a person lying on the ground, and stepped directly over his body, the cloak shook as he walked, and Zhang Qixun saw a bamboo tube hanging from his waist.

After entering the cellar, the figure reached out and grabbed a small snow-white snake from the bamboo tube, put it in the palm of his hand, and then saw his mouth move slightly, as if he was saying something to the little snake.

Xu is Zhang Qixun had been staring for a long time, and the figure seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly turned his head to look this way.

The movement was so big that the hood on the man's head fell off without wearing it.

Zhang Qixun's pupils shrank suddenly, and he clearly saw that the right half of the person's face was a large strange totem like a flame.

He was desperate to see better, but the figure suddenly became far away from him, and at last it was blurred into a blur, and he could not see anything clearly.

The dizzying red in front of him also slowly faded at this time, Zhang Qixun blinked his sour eyes, and someone on the side was surprised, "Wake up, wake up, he's awake." ”

Zhang Qixun's mind was a little chaotic, and before he came back to his senses, the white light flashed in front of him, and someone took a medical pen lamp to shine on his eyes, and said, "The pupil reflects the light normally." ”

"The antivenom has worked, let him rest a little longer."

Zhang Qixun heard that this was Huo Xiuxiu's voice, and felt strange in his heart, and then felt that many people around him had dispersed, and the lights in the tent also shone on his face.

When he turned his head to look, he found that the little brother and the fat man were sitting next to him, the little brother's face was rare and dignified, and the fat man lost the playfulness of the gags in the past.

Seeing that Zhang Qixun kept staring and didn't blink his eyes, the fat man asked him if he was thirsty and drank water.

Zhang Qixun shook his head, the strength in his body had returned, he sat up on the marching bed, and rubbed his eyebrows, "What's wrong with me?" Brother, didn't you go out after the whistle, did you catch anyone? ”

Before the little brother could speak, the fat man grabbed the words and said: "You kid still said that the little brother obviously went to arrest people, but in the end he came back behind your back." ”

"Didn't catch the slumped shoulder?" Zhang Qixun looked at the little brother with a surprised expression.

The little brother nodded, pursed his lips, and said softly, "You are in the fire." ”

"I'm ...... fire" Zhang Qixun just wanted to say where he was in the fire, and something suddenly flashed in his mind, "Little brother, did you find me at the mouth of a cellar?" ”

The little brother nodded slightly, "He knows I'm looking for him, and the place where the whistle came from is a trap." ”

It turned out that after chasing the whistle, the little brother only fought with the collapsed shoulder a few times, injured his arm, and was about to catch him, when he was suddenly besieged by several adult lynxes, and the guy took advantage of the chaos to escape.

The little brother got rid of those lynxes, chased the blood trails to find them, went around in a big circle in the bushes, and suddenly found a fire in a place, realized that something was wrong, and immediately rushed over, but just happened to hear two violent explosions in succession.

Then I saw Zhang Qixun come out of the sea of fire underground, and the fire was burning in the hole behind him, but he didn't seem to feel the burning pain, and stood at the mouth of the cellar in a daze.

Thanks to the reward of the big guys such as [the most naΓ―ve when I was young] [I don't read] *
