Bear with me. Someone comforted him and said, "Clean the wound before you can apply medicine." ”

"I—I know!" Hu Cheng inhaled in pain. Yan Saburo glanced at his injuries, at least on the surface, the dried blood stains were stuck to his pants, and he had to tear off a bit of flesh to treat the wounds.

"I'm sorry I whipped you ten times. The man whispered, "Do you want to blame me?"

"No!" Hu Cheng's voice was indeed not resentful, but full of gratitude, "Uncle Ming, I know that your subordinates have shown mercy and only hit their legs, otherwise the Nine-Tailed Whip will not only leave this injury." ”

This conversation is very informative. Chitose raised his eyebrows, and Hu Cheng was full of gratitude to the torturer, thinking that he was very light and affectionate.

It is known that this torture was carried out by the inspectors, so this "Uncle Ming" is one of the inspectors?

Yan Saburo had been in the army and knew about the nine-tailed whip that was used exclusively for punishment. As soon as this whip was struck, there were many blood marks on the body, which was quite a vicious torture tool.

However, torture can be light or severe, and the veteran can beat people into a blur of flesh and blood, which looks scary, but in fact it is only a little flesh and skin injury. Hu Cheng was not disabled, nor was he turned over and beaten on the shoulder, which shows that the other party is indeed sympathetic to his chest injury and knows that he cannot be turned.

"You're too impulsive. Uncle Ming said in a deep voice, "If I can't grab the errand for the execution, you will die here this time!"

I don't know what kind of medicine powder he sprinkled, Hu Cheng sizzled: "This kind of work, is there anyone else rushing to do it?"

"Yes. Uncle Ming said coldly, "You have offended the guests of the gods! Do you know how many people want to please them?"

Hu Cheng was dumbfounded.

Uncle Ming said again: "You let yourself be seriously injured, and you failed to avenge Ah Qian." Have you thought about it, if they notice you and follow your lead, then we ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the room was silent for a while.

After a long time, Hu Chengcai said in a hoarse voice: "It's my fault, I'm impulsive." Uncle Ming, if they notice me, I, I will end myself, and I must not affect you!"

Yan Saburo and Chitose glanced at each other, who will Hu Cheng implicate and what?

"It's easy to die. Uncle Ming snorted lightly, "I look down on myself too much, do you think that people are so easy to find? ”

Hu Cheng didn't dare to say more.

Perhaps to check the injury on Hu Cheng's chest, Uncle Ming sighed, "Your wound is well treated, is there this medicine on the island?"

"This one. Hu Cheng changed the topic, "There are a few VIPs who treated my injuries, and said that they would avenge A Qian." ”

Uncle Ming said curiously: "What?"

Hu Cheng then told the whole process of the incident, and then said: "Uncle Ming, do you think you can believe the words of these people?"

"No, you can't. Uncle Ming did not hesitate.

"Why?"

"No one will be nice to you for no reason. Uncle Ming's voice was calm, "Not to mention a seafarer who has never met before." They belong to another world and have nothing to do with us. ”

"What do they want?" said Hu Cheng, a little disappointed. If that old man can really kill the bad guy who killed Ah Qian, how good it would be!

"I don't know. ”

Hu Cheng didn't give up: "The treasure in your hand is also obtained from the seafarer, that is, you can find out whether the magic weapon has been planted on the person." Why did he leave this treasure to you?"

"Because I paid the price!" Uncle Ming's voice turned stern, "Heavy price!"

"You've heard a lot of voices against the priests one after another, right?" Uncle Ming asked Hu Cheng, "What happened to the owners of these voices?"

Hu Cheng was silent.

"You don't know, but I've been to trial. Uncle Ming continued, "It's very strange, many of them are usually tight-lipped and only confide in those closest to them. Do you remember A-Xing?"

"Remember, remember. Hu Cheng said in a low voice, "I was taken away by the inspectors before the Holy Sacrifice last year. ”

"She only said blasphemous words to her mother. Uncle Ming sneered, "Ah Xing lost her father since she was a child, and her mother and daughter depend on each other, how much her mother loves her, do you know?"

After A-Xing disappeared, her mother jumped into the sea and died. Hu Cheng's voice was full of suspicion, "It's impossible for Ah Xing's mother to go to the informant." ”

"Yes, then who is the informant?" Uncle Ming said lightly, "No matter how well people hide it, the priests can still find it." Have you thought about it, why is that?"

"They say that the gods know everything, and this is the power of the gods. ”

"Nonsense. Uncle Ming smiled, "The priests just borrowed some kind of magic or magic weapon, so they could eavesdrop on what we said!"

Hu Cheng finally understood: "So you tried your best to get that baby?"

"Not bad. It tells me if the people around me have been planted with sorcery. Uncle Ming said in a low voice, "Two times I talked to the villagers, and it lit up. ”

"In short, neither the priest nor the seafarer can be trusted. They're all in the same group!" Uncle Ming took a light breath, "As for the kind old man you mentioned, wait until he shows sincerity." ”

Hu Cheng hesitated for a long time, and suddenly asked again: "There has been an occasional legend over the years that the current divine envoy is fake and goes against the will of the gods. Uncle Ming, what do you think?"

Uncle Ming was silent.

Hu Cheng asked again before he replied: "Don't listen, don't believe, don't speak." ”

Hu Cheng couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"Who is the divine envoy, what does it matter to us?" Uncle Ming's voice was flat, "and he can't let me live for ten more years." ”

He then said to Hu Cheng: "No matter what the result of Ah Qian is, you can't be impulsive and bad again. When I recover, I will recommend you to the priest. ”

Hu Cheng's voice raised several degrees at once: "Lift, recommend...... Uh-huh......"

But it was Uncle Ming who covered his mouth: "You can be louder and try to see if anyone can hear it nearby!"

"I was wrong. Hu Cheng took his hand, "Uncle Ming, what does it mean to recommend?"

"I want you to be the one who makes the speech!" Uncle Ming said tightly, "It's the one who transcribed the oracle for the priest." The so-called will of the gods came from the gods, but it was the priests who recorded it. Then the priest took the oracle to Yanxi and transcribed hundreds of copies, so that it could be distributed to large and small islands and liao markets. ”

There is only one oracle, but there are hundreds of places to be posted and announced. Copying such a mechanical and tiring task, of course, the priest will not do it himself, but find a literate commoner to do it.

As an ordinary person who is close to the priest and assigned a task, Yan Xi has a very high status among the people.

"Why?" Hu Cheng didn't understand.

"I promised your mother that I would find a way out for you. Uncle Ming patted him on the shoulder, "Besides, you can be literate when you are a speaker." ”

Hu Cheng was a little uneasy: "I—Can I learn the language of God?"

Participating in this month's book circle activities, remember to add the prefix or suffix of [XX come on] to the title. "XX" refers to the most important epidemic area in China. Nowadays, the real place name cannot appear in the book, otherwise it will be sealed, but the book circle is fine, everyone understands.
