Section 59 Pig Food

"What do you have to say, of course, because if you don't say it, you're going to suffer!" replied Ashrufat. "I'm not a very patient person. At least not patient with you. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Io's left hand, twisting it with incredible force.

"Ahh But when the pain wore off, Io's heart relaxed—Ashruphat had dislocated his shoulder. This ostensibly causes intense pain, but in fact it can be cured in a short period of time - all it takes is a skill that can be used.

It was clear that Ashrufat was very suspicious of the power behind Io.

However, Eshurufat's next move was more puzzling, as he untied the ropes that bound Io's hands and tossed them aside. Io took advantage of the opportunity to check his situation a little. His feet were shackled in metal, and his feet were almost tightly together, making him completely unable to walk. On the one hand, he can't stand up (and it's useless to stand up), and on the other hand, there is only one hand left to use, and in this case he is not much different from being tied.

"My people will know that I have been arrested by you. Io tried his best to keep himself calm. "Even if your movements are hidden and no one sees them, it doesn't matter. As long as there is a good police dog, it can follow the smell. ”

"Your people know that you are dead. Ashrufat replied unceremoniously. "They'll have to wait at least five days to clean up the fallen dirt before they find you alive. But five days later, I really doubt that the brilliant police dog will ever be able to find it?"

Io mentally told himself that he had to make some concessions. Although it was said that Ashrufat had some scruples, it could not force him.

"What do you want to do?" asked Io.

"As I said, I want to know two things. First, I want to know who the Word shows you. Second, I want to know why he is doing this. ”

"Put me out first, and I can tell you the answers to these questions. ”

"You seem to have gotten something wrong. A frightening smile suddenly appeared on Ashrufat's face. "You don't have any room for bargaining here. ”

"You want to kill me? I warn you, if I die, someone will avenge me. You don't understand what you're up against......"

"Yes, I didn't know what I was facing, so I still had some scruples. Ashruphat stood up. "But now I'm not afraid of anything. It's all thanks to you, my dear cousin—I may call you that because I am about to marry your two cousins. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have dared to tie you up here. Maybe I'll kill you in the mountains and dispose of you and your companions, but I won't dare to bring you here for questioning. ”

"What do you mean......

The meaning is simple. Because the amount of power you showed at the beginning was intimidating. You have the strength to replace the sheriff of the city, the strength to plot a perfect conspiracy, and the strength to buy my servants unknowingly. And these are still shown on the surface, it seems that they are only the tip of the iceberg, and it is really difficult to guess how strong the real force is. Dear cousin, if you choose to throw in the towel this time, let me pay the sheriff's verdict after I get the prize money from the horse race...... If that's the case, I really don't dare to do anything to you. Don't say that I don't dare to take the initiative to find the door, even if I have a chance to let me arrest you, I don't dare to do it. Because I will tell myself that the person behind this is powerful. And although you are only one of his agents, it is up to the owner to beat the dog. It's easy for me to kill you, but it's likely to anger your master. Now he is still restrained from my attacks, at least not in every way. But once he was provoked and desperate, I wasn't sure I could handle it. ”

"But," Ashrufat kicked Io. As mentioned earlier, Io was lying on the ground at this time and it was difficult to move, so he couldn't avoid this kick at all. "I'm not afraid of anything now. It's all thanks to you. ”

He looked at the confusion on Io's face, and he laughed. "Because when you show your murderous intentions on the mountain and want to kill me. I get the idea. It turns out that the ability of the instigator behind this is nothing more than that. Changing to a sheriff and planning a conspiracy or something is already the limit of his ability. Because if you don't have no other means, how can you plan such an action? The judgment of the inheritance dispute is over, and you have no other means than this trick, so you have to commit murder...... Okay, I'm going too far, now tell me the things I want to know. ”

"You must keep my life safe, or I won't say anything. ”

"Did the guarantee work? Didn't you ever promise that your father's inheritance was not in dispute, of course, it wasn't your father's inheritance? ”

"Of course, there must be practical actions to prove it. You must untie my shackles, and prepare a horse for me......"

"That's enough! I won't guarantee anything!" Ashrufat interrupted the other directly. "It seems that you don't understand your current situation at all. Your life is in my hands. ”

"If you kill me, then don't think about anything. Io replied. "You can kill me, but think I'll give in. ”

"I don't think so. Do you know what I said, why did I bring you to this pigsty?" Ashrufat's voice seemed to be laughing, but it made the soul shudder.

"In this pigsty...... There are about twenty pigs in the house. Ashrufat continued. Unfortunately, the lazy swineherd was going to the Jockey Club, so he hadn't fed the pigs for three days. In other words, all of these pigs have been hungry for three whole days...... I can see that you are not very proficient in this kind of thing, so I will remind you that pigs are very similar to humans in terms of eating, and they need to be fed every day. In addition, they are also omnivorous and are able to eat meat. ”

He spoke these seemingly inconsequential details, but Io clearly felt a chill slowly spreading from his back to his neck.

"If I go out of the pen now, open all the doors of the pens along the way, and then close the gate of the pigsty at the outermost point. What do you think will happen? I know you've been trained, and maybe you're still a good swordsman...... But now you only have one hand to move. I bet you won't be able to beat twenty hungry pigs with your remaining hand. ”

As he spoke, Ashruphat had actually done so. It is a large pigsty where the pigs are kept separately in a row of pens. Eshurufat left along the middle aisle of the pigsty, opening all the doors of the pens along the way. Finally he came to the gate and closed the door of the pigsty.

Io lies on his side on the ground (he only has one hand that can move, and this one is numb from being tied for too long, so it is difficult to turn around). He couldn't see Ishrufat's movements, but from the sound of Ashrufat's footsteps fading away, from the sound of the grinding of the door of the pen, and the sound of him closing the door of the pigsty, he knew exactly what was happening.

Then he clearly heard the "hum" pigs coming to his back.

I don't know where the strength of the road came from, Io turned around violently, and actually won without the help of his hands, turned his body over, and leaned against the wooden railing on the side. There was nothing wrong with his hearing. At this moment, a large herd of pigs stood in front of Io. They have all come out of the open pens.

Io had seen pigs countless times—a breed that was widely farmed as a good source of meat—even in the city. He had the impression that the pig was a docile and harmless animal. But now, his memory is about to be rewritten. In front of him is a horde of fat, filthy, and terrifying creatures. Since they had been hungry for three days, the pigs' eyes flashed green, revealing an extreme appetite.

"Get out of here, get out of here!" Io waved his right hand, which was actually still numb, to disperse the herd. But the problem is that the pigs don't react to it. Even the current confrontation did not last long, and the hungry pigs soon came towards him.

A pig bites Io's shoe. The pig's teeth pierced through his shoes and clenched his feet. Io screamed and kicked his legs hard, but the pig wouldn't let go. Its bite was amazing, and Io could clearly feel all the bones in his feet snapping under the bite of the pig's teeth.

Io struggled desperately, eventually breaking his foot out of his shoe. He waved the hand he could, trying to stop the pigs from approaching. But there are too many pigs. A pig suddenly rushed from the side and knocked him to the ground with a mouthful, and his whole face was filled with the hot stench of these hungry omnivores coming out of their mouths—they arched over him, looking for a place to get his mouth down.

Io let out the most miserable cry of his life. Then he felt something bite his ear fiercely. He struggled, trying again to get up. At this time, a pig arched fiercely at the back of his head. Io's head slammed into something the side.

"Help!" he heard himself call out before he lost consciousness.

......

When Ashrufat returned home, it was late.

The two sisters were waiting for him in the hall. On early spring nights, the temperature was cooler than expected, so the two sisters wore thick coats, but did not light the fireplace.

"Where have you been?" Starr immediately asked when he saw Ashruphat come in. "I'm a little worried about coming back so late. ”

"Worried?" Ashrufat smiled with a rather ambiguous expression.

"You ......" Xingke bit his lip. "I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about you going to claim the prize tomorrow. ”

"Oh, the prize......" said Ashrufat. "But that seems to have changed. You should have heard about today's events. It is said that among the people who were accidentally buried by the landslide was our cousin Io. Therefore, I am afraid that this judgment can no longer be enforced. ”
