Chapter 38: The Crazy Fat Man (1)
Speaking of Shen Lin, she followed the galloping fat man all the way, until dawn, and came to a remote hill. From the outside, this is an ordinary hill, but after following the fat man left and right, I realized that there is a hole in this mountain.
The fragrance of flowers, birdsong, wild fruits, streams, a picture of a paradise with beautiful mountains and rivers.
Shen Lin looked at everything in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little stupid, these colorful flowers were all rare varieties that had never been seen outside, and those birds, each bird sang a different song, and was covered in colorful feather clothes.
The fat man got into a tree hole in a blink of an eye, and Shen Lin didn't rush to follow, but squatted down, stroked the silky stream with his hands, and looked at the butterflies dancing among the flowers.
It had not been so comfortable for a long time, Shen Lin gently closed her eyes and enjoyed the most peaceful time of the year.
A monkey walked towards Shen Lin and cooed something, Shen Lin didn't care, and closed his eyes again to breathe, but the monkey chased Shen Lin, as if he had something important to report.
Shen Lin tilted his head, rubbed his tired eyes, and followed the monkey over.
This road was the winding path that Shen Lin took when he came in, and when he came to a place, the monkey suddenly stopped, covering his nose with one hand and pointing to the ground with the other.
Shen Lin followed the monkey's gaze and found that there was a lot of pale yellow powder on the ground, Shen Lin looked towards the entrance and found that the ground was faintly covered with a layer of such powder.
The monkey looked at Shen Lin's appearance and was a little anxious, and made a gesture of embracing his hands, Shen Lin frowned and shook his head, not understanding what the monkey meant.
The monkey squeaked in such a hurry that its leg rubbed against the powder, and in an instant the flesh of that part of the skin rotted open, accompanied by a strong smell of burning.
The monkey was in pain, and suddenly jumped onto Shen Lin's body, hugging Shen Lin's right hand tightly.
"You mean, let me carry you over?" Shen Lin looked at the monkey with concern and gently touched the corroded wounds.
When the monkey heard this, he was overjoyed and nodded his head. Shen Lin hugged the monkey, stepped on the powder with his shoes, and walked over, but the corrosion did not happen.
As soon as he got outside, the monkey scurried to the ground and kept kowtowing to Shen Lin.
After a while, the monkey happily ran out of the hill, leaving Shen Lin in confusion.
Shen Lin shook his head, trying to make himself more energetic, quietly approached the tree hole where the fat man disappeared, and checked it inch by inch.
It looks like an ordinary plane tree trunk, but it is slightly thicker, presumably the tree is old. Shen Lin put his head into the trunk of the tree and found that the tree was actually a hollow structure, the roots of the tree had been hollowed out, and it was pitch black below.
Shen Lin didn't dare to be careless, checked the fire fold in his arms, and then quietly entered the cave, carefully supporting the sides, and slowly sliding.
Some people are born to be active at night, but during the day they are listless, probably because their ancestors were the night watchmen in the settlement, which created this distinctive characteristic.
Fat people are such people.
Just as Shen Lin was about to slide to the bottom, a distant snoring came into his ears. She didn't rush to make a fire, and waited for about a cup of tea so that her eyes could adjust to the darkness below.
Shen Lin walked forward slowly, faintly thinking of this place as a cave in his heart. Walking further, he came across a corner, Shen Lin poked his head to take a look, and found that there was some faint fire at the end.
With a little light, Shen Lin unconsciously felt a little more steady, Shen Lin quickened his steps and walked towards the light.
Towards the end, I realized that it was still a corner, and such a winding design aroused Shen Lin's curiosity, and she couldn't help but speed up her pace.
The moment she turned the corner, she was taken aback by what she saw, the magnificent decoration resembling a palace, and all kinds of rare treasures were arranged in an orderly manner on the wooden tables on either side.
Shen Lin slowed down and casually glanced at the treasures on both sides. came to an end in a blink of an eye, Shen Lin couldn't help smacking his lips, this fat man's collection is really rich, from celebrity calligraphy and paintings to antique gems, just take a few pieces out, I'm afraid it is a wealth that most people covet.
Around the corner, I found strange things on the wooden tables on both sides of the room, porcelain vases, small knives, thin iron wire, and a bed covered with white cloth.
Seeing these things, Shen Lin couldn't help but be even more curious, what would appear around the next corner.
The expression of anticipation froze on Shen Lin's face after another corner, there were large and small cages in this room, and in each cage, there were some small animals.
The sound of soft footsteps was muffled by the earth-shattering snoring, and the dim candle flame did not let the things in the cage notice Shen Lin, but Shen Lin's curiosity had completely forgotten that she was in danger, she took out the fire fold and looked along each cage.
It's okay not to look at it, but when she saw it, she was startled, what kind of small animals are in this cage, all of them are living monkey-sized people. Both men and women among them are no different from normal people, but their bodies are petite, and each little one has some wrinkles on his face, and at a glance he understands that these are not children.
Cold sweat soaked their backs, and some villains also noticed Shen Lin who was observing them.
For a while, exclamations and cries for help rang out, and the noise that caused the uproar actually made Shen Lin panic, forgetting that the fat man inside had stopped snoring.
After a while, the fat man walked up to Shen Lin sleepily, and Shen Lin, who opened his mouth wide, didn't know how to speak.
The fat man said, "The little girl in the inn who didn't faint, what are you doing with me? What about the kid next to you?"
Shen Lin hurriedly settled down and said, "I'...... There's something to ask you. Shen Lin deliberately didn't mention Lin Feibai, wanting the fat man to mistakenly think that there was a helper behind him.
The fat man smiled and said, "Just ask, it's not just that you came to snatch my baby." ”
Shen Lin paid close attention to the fat man's expression, if the fat man's expression was different, she would draw her sword as soon as possible and seize the opportunity. It's a pity that the fat man with a meaty face just looks like he hasn't woken up.
Shen Lin said: My father Shen Duan, his whereabouts are still unknown, I overheard you mention the word 'spiritual heart' in the inn last night, I suspect it has something to do with her. ”
When the fat man heard Lingxin, his face suddenly became a little more anxious, and he said, "Where was the last time you saw Lingxin?
Shen Lin said: "I saw it once at the door of my Shen family. At that time, my father was seriously ill and living in a wheelchair, and he may have been taken away by the spiritual heart, but I didn't see the specific situation. ”
The fat man breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This matter should be done by the Nanshan faction, their coveting of your family's sword god sword spectrum is a well-known thing in the rivers and lakes, you have to count this matter to the Nanshan faction, and the spiritual heart is just used by them." The fat man did not have any dissatisfaction with Shen Lin's trespassing into the mansion, which couldn't help but make Shen Lin breathe a sigh of relief.
Shen Lin nodded and said, "It's been some time since my father disappeared, and when I hear the relevant news, I will unconsciously inquire about it, so don't be surprised if you break in." ”
The fat man said: "It's okay, for the sake of you not touching my baby, you go back, I really don't know the plan of Lingxin and the Nanshan faction." ”
Shen Lin was about to say goodbye, when he suddenly remembered the voices of the villains in the cage calling for help, and asked, "Are your treasures those living people?"
The fat man squinted his eyes and said, "What do you mean, you're also interested in them?"
Shen Lin said: "I'm not interested, but since they are human beings, it's a bit inappropriate to lock them up like you." ”
The fat man said coldly: "Don't toast and don't eat and drink, it's not your turn to worry about my business." For the sake of our common enemy, let's go back the way we came. ”
Shen Lin glanced at the villains who were locked in the cage, it was already inappropriate for him to break into other people's homes without permission, plus he was entangled in important matters, whether to help those poor people, he hesitated for a while.
A red-haired villain stumbled in from outside, and around the corner, he bumped into Shen Lin's arms.
"Oh no, the cub is gone!"
The fat man exclaimed, "What?
The red-haired little man said: "This place is so big, there is no trace of that little cub." ”
The fat man's eyebrows trembled, and he said, "There are three corpses scattered at the door, it would be strange if he could run out by himself." Little girl, you can't take him out, right?"
Shen Lin said, "What little cub? I only saw a monkey, and then I took it out." ”
The fat man snorted coldly and said, "It's him, what monkey is not a monkey, he is the treasure I got with all my hard work! If I don't kill you today, it's hard to solve the hatred in my heart." ”
As soon as the words fell, the fat man took out a handful of yellow powder from his arms, raised his hand, and sprinkled it towards Shen Lin.
Shen Lin took a few steps back, hurriedly took out a silk scarf from his arms, tied it on his head, blocked his mouth and nose, and said, "Isn't it just a monkey, why do you say that it's a baby?"
The fat man screamed, picked up a stool casually, slashed left and right at Shen Lin, and shouted while beating: "Monkey monkey! You know the monkey, he is a person, unique in this world, and he can rank in the immortal class in the future!"
The fat man's move of wielding the stool was obviously not very clever, even in the small room, Shen Lin dodged unhurriedly, and seemed to be at ease, and was quite curious about the fat man's words in his heart, and continued to ask: "Don't deceive people, I see that it is no different from a monkey, how is it a person?"
The fat man panted and said: "His father is a monkey, her mother is a human, do you say he is a human or a monkey? ”
