Chapter 240: Man Dies
Facing Li Yuanhao's questioning, Xiong Chong rolled his eyes strangely, and said angrily: "Why should I care about other people's lives and deaths? Back then, I saved countless Han people, but when they were criticized by them as cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods every day, why didn't anyone care about my life or death? When my son and daughter-in-law were beaten to death on the street, why didn't anyone come to care about my life or death? My little girl was drowned alive in this hot spring pool, and when it was cooked, why didn't anyone care about my life or death? Li Yuanhao choked suddenly, he also had a certain understanding of that crazy era, and he really didn't know how to refute Xiong Chong's strong words. γγ
Xiaoya took An Xin and walked forward until she came to the hot spring pool, she pointed to the misty pool and said to An Xin: "Sister, look, that brother is inside."
An Xin looked over, but only saw a mist steaming on the hot spring pool, confused, and couldn't see anything clearly. She couldn't help but raise her guard and said, "You mean he's in the water?" How long has he been down? β
The little girl pouted and said, "I told him that my gold ingots were picked up in this hot spring pool, and he jumped down, and it has been a long time, and I haven't seen him come up again." My brother also promised to play with me, but he lied. β
When An Xin heard her say this, she immediately realized that the skinny monkey seemed to be more than lucky. She looked into the pool again. The surface of the pool was filled with gray mist, and her eyes widened vigorously until she faintly saw a figure in the turbid water of the pool, stirring with the bubbles. It rose and fell in the water, and it seemed to have been drowned. But his feet seemed to be caught in something, so he didn't come up.
An Xin hurriedly found a long wooden stick in the woods. She lay on the edge of the hot spring pool, and it took a long time to hook the feet of the underwater figure out of the crack in the stone with the stick in her hand. The skinny monkey's corpse was unrestrained and immediately floated up. An Xin pulled him to the shore with a wooden stick.
Xiaoya was by her side, watching her every move curiously, and when the body of the skinny monkey was brought to the shore by An Xin, she said with disgust: "Who is this?" Why is it so ugly" is no wonder Xiaoya can't recognize it. The skinny monkey has been soaked in this hot pool water for two days. His body had long since become highly decomposed. And the face is swollen and the eyeballs are protruding. The lips thickened and turned out, and even the tip of the tongue sticked out. His muscles and limbs were like bulging balloons, stretching all the clothes that had fit, and he looked like a giant. Where is there still half of his skinny and withered appearance before his death.
An Xin found that although the skinny monkey was dead, his right hand was still clenched tightly, so she took a wooden stick to try to pick off his right hand to see what he was holding in his hand, so that he would not let go even if he died. Who knew that the skin and flesh of the skinny monkey's whole body had been cooked in this high-temperature pool water, and it was boiled rotten, and as soon as the wooden stick in An Xin's hand poked it, there were immediately large pieces of carrion, falling from the bone rack. It is also accompanied by a strong rancid smell. Smelled by this smell, An Xin couldn't hold back for a while, she ran aside. Holding a hawthorn tree, he vomited.
Her violent vomiting sound immediately attracted Li Yuanhao's attention, and he didn't care about arguing with Xiong Chong about who was right and who was wrong, so he immediately ran out. He came to An Xin, who was still vomiting, patted her on the back distressedly, and asked in a loud voice, "What's wrong with you?" β
After a long time, An Xin was relieved. She wiped the corners of her mouth, pointed to the corpse on the ground, and said in a hoarse voice, "You go and see his hands." It seems to be holding something. β
Li Yuanhao looked at the terrifying 'giant' on the ground and asked strangely, "Where did this corpse come from?" β
An Xin stroked her chest and stabilized her mind before she replied: "He is the man who disappeared with Xiaoya, Xiaoya said that after he jumped into the pool, he didn't come up again." When I saw him just now, he was just soaked in the pool, and his right foot was still in the crack of the stone, and I guess that's how he drowned. β
Speaking of this, An Xin looked at the little girl who was biting her fingers and didn't make a sound, and asked seriously: "He is the brother who came back with you, didn't you say that this brother is your friend?" How do you think he drowned and didn't save him. β
Xiaoya screamed "wow", she shook her head desperately, and said with a frightened face: "There is a big monster in the water, it killed Xiaoya and drowned, Xiaoya didn't dare to go into the water." β
"Xiaoya said there are monsters in here? What do you think? An Xin was confused by Xiaoya, and she had to ask Li Yuanhao for help.
Li Yuanhao Songsong shouldered and said: "A five-siu child, when she sees the shadow of the tree outside the window shaking, she will also say that there are monsters, how can you take it seriously!" β
An Xin said with some dissatisfaction: "But she is not a child of five sui, and her age may not be much younger than the two of us combined." β
But when she died, she only had five sui, so her mind and intelligence have always remained at the five sui stage, and she will only regress, not progress. In addition, she drowned in this hot spring pool, so she was instinctively afraid of this hot spring pool, and perhaps in her eyes, this hot spring pool itself was a big monster. Li Yuanhao patiently explained to An Xin, while looking for a thinner branch, he carefully picked open the skinny monkey's clenched right hand, a golden, bright thing, the bones were lost from his flesh, only the bones of the skeleton rolled out of the palm.
Li Yuanhao looked carefully, this was a horseshoe-shaped foot red gold ingot, and it looked like it was about five taels. Although the size of this gold ingot is not big, it is enough to set off a monstrous wave in the hearts of An Xin and Li Yuanhao, isn't this exactly what they are looking for?
It seems that the treasure buried by the owner of the "Golden Hair Tower" has revealed the tip of its iceberg. Ten ** buried treasure ru mouth is in this hot spring pool, no wonder it has not been discovered for so many years, such a high temperature in this pool, it is simply the jin area of all human beings!
An Xin and Li Yuanhao, who had a huge secret in their hearts, looked at each other, they had been carried away by this abrupt situation. It was Li Yuanhao who spoke first and said: "The smell of this corpse is too big, let's deal with him first." An Xin was already so smoked that she couldn't stand it, and she immediately raised her hands in agreement.
Fortunately, there is not much else in this forest, but there is a lot of firewood. The two of them found a lot of dry wood, put it together, and put the body of the skinny monkey on it. Li Yuanhao asked Xiong Chong for some vegetable oil and poured it on it, the fire burned all of a sudden, and the billowing black smoke went straight to the sky, and a smell of burnt skin and flesh immediately emitted.
Li Yuanhao checked the gold ingots in his hand, sighed and said: "It is said that people die for money, and birds die for food." You also gave your life for this gold ingot, and now I will bury it with you, hoping that you will not do such a stupid thing again in your next life. With that, he flicked his wrist, and the ingot of gold immediately drew a graceful arc in the air, and then fell straight into the fire.
An Xin glanced at the little girl who hid to the side with the little silver wolf because she was afraid of the fire, and whispered to Li Yuanhao: "How much do you know about the treasure?" β
Li Yuanhao pondered for a moment and said: "Their ancestors and grandchildren have lived here for decades, and it is estimated that they have already discovered the secrets in this hot spring pool. However, they have always lived in isolation, completely refusing to interact with the outside world. Therefore, it is impossible for them to have professional salvage tools, and I estimate that with the strength of the two of them, they should not have recovered all the treasures by now. β
"So what are we going to do, give up now?" An Xin asked a little unwillingly, they had gone through a lot of hardships to come here, and seeing that a huge victory was in front of them, of course no one wanted to give up so easily.
Li Yuanhao hesitated for a moment and then replied: "Let's find out Xiong Chong's plan first, whether he is an enemy or a friend now, we can't be sure yet." β
"Hmm." Regarding Li Yuanhao's words, An Xin had no objection.
"Let's go, let's go back to the bamboo building." Li Yuanhao and An Xin saw that the fire would not be extinguished for a while, so they decided to go back to the bamboo building to rest first.
When I returned to the bamboo building, I saw that Xiaoya was training the little silver wolf vividly, only to hear her scream: "Xiaohua, lie down, you lie down, I will give you bones to eat." β
An Xin covered her mouth and snickered: "Xiaoya, is this training the little silver wolf as a puppy?" also gave it such an ugly name as Xiaohua, it is estimated that the little silver wolf will not pay attention to her. β
Sure enough, the little silver wolf just waved his little paws at her as if demonstrating, and was still screaming in his throat, with an unruly face, and he didn't pay attention to her at all.
Seeing that the little silver wolf ignored herself, the little girl was also angry, and rushed up as if she was going to pull the little silver wolf's tail, and muttered in her mouth: "Xiaohua, you are bad, you are disobedient, I will spank your ass, just like grandpa spanked me." As she spoke, she really stretched out her fleshy little hand to pat the little silver wolf's buttocks.
The little silver wolf, who felt that his dignity had been seriously challenged, screamed, and he turned his head with grinning teeth and wanted to bite Xiaoya's hand, but Xiaoya was just a spirit, how could it really bite, and saw it biting its tail and turning in circles on the ground. Xiaoya clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Oh, Xiaohua is stupid, Xiaohua is stupid." β
An Xin and Li Yuanhao both looked at this scene with smiles, but Xiong Chong sighed and said: "Xiaohua is a little milk dog raised by Xiaoya when she was more than four sui, and she still remembers that as long as she sees a little milk dog, she says that it is Xiaohua, and she likes to tease it." β
An Xin was still watching Xiaoya and Little Silver Wolf play treasure, and after listening to Xiong Chong's words, she smiled and said casually: "Yes, children like small animals." β
At this time, Xiong Chong's red, old eyes full of feces revealed a sly, and he said slowly: "I know that the purpose of your coming here must be for the treasure in the hot spring pool, but I tell you that there is indeed a monster in the Xiamian of this hot spring pool, so I did not salvage the treasure inside." β
Unguarded, Xiong Chong would expose the purpose of the two of them so simply and clearly, An Xin and Li Yuanhao were stunned for a while. To be continued 580
