Guo Xiaodao's eyes were in chaos, his mind was buzzing, and two blood lines oozed out of his nose and condensed in the water, as if two small blood-red snakes were drilling out of his nostrils, and the black pearl-like bait under his feet was still that size, and there was no tendency to be melted by the water.

The shopkeeper closed the lid of the barrel and locked Guo Xiaodao in the bucket without leaving a little room to breathe, Guo Xiaodao tried to stand up with a breath, but as soon as he got up, his head hit a hard object, and he almost didn't squirt out this breath, he pushed it hard, but the lid of the bucket was pressed by the shopkeeper with a huge stone, and Guo Xiaodao couldn't do it in this small space, so he couldn't open it at all.

Finding that he couldn't move at all, Guo Xiaodao wanted to break the wall of the barrel from the inside but found that due to the small space in the barrel, the joints could not be moved, and he couldn't exert his strength at all - I don't know if it was the shopkeeper's calculation, the space of the bucket was not enough for Guo Xiaodao to put on a fist fight, and the limited distance was like an invisible chain that bound Guo Xiaodao's hands and feet.

The dark water environment and the dull sound of water in his ears made Guo Xiaodao panic, the water surface was level with the edge of the barrel, he couldn't find a chance to ventilate, Guo Xiaodao held his breath and stretched out his hand to pat the barrel wall vigorously, hoping to attract the attention of the outside world, but everyone was not allowed to open the lid of the barrel for Guo Xiaodao under the intervention of the shopkeeper.

Time passed minute by minute, but there was no movement outside the barrel, Guo Xiaodao only felt that his chest was becoming more and more painful, unbearable, and he couldn't help but spit out the turbid breath he was holding.

The shadow of death once again descended on Guo Xiaodao.

Vaguely, Guo Xiaodao seemed to have returned to the small village in Wolong Mountain, the familiar layout, and the fact that he was held by the shopkeeper and couldn't breathe, and he couldn't survive or die

Under the gaze of everyone, the shopkeeper squatted down and knocked on the wall of the barrel, and then listened to it for a long time, and after confirming that there was no movement inside, the shopkeeper smiled with satisfaction and got up to open the lid of the bucket.

Everyone couldn't wait to look into the barrel, the reaction between the bait and the water in the bucket had stopped for some time, through the calm water, everyone saw Guo Xiaodao curled up at the bottom of the bucket with his hands and knees, his eyes closed, a faint line of blood flowing from his nose and the corners of his mouth floating in the water, the green tendons around his body burst out, and the blood vessels bursting under the skin were like tiny earthworms.

Ning Shisan's face changed when he saw it, and his first reaction was to reach out to catch people, but before his hand could touch the water, he was grabbed by the shopkeeper's wrist.

"You let go!" Ning Shisan was anxious, although Ning Shisan was powerless, but since he was a child, he grew up in Ning's family, and Ning Shisan was not less instilled with benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith by his father's various drinking friends in the rivers and lakes, although he had not been in contact with Guo Xiaodao for a long time, but Ning Shisan couldn't sit back and watch an innocent life wither in front of him, not to mention that Ning Shisan himself was fished out of the water by Guo Xiaodao, which was a life-saving grace.

"Don't worry, this kid is fine. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Don't worry." ”

However, Ning Shisan didn't believe what the shopkeeper said, and was about to kick the bucket over when he raised his foot, but before he could make a move, he was stopped by Mo Xiaoxiao and Xiaodao.

Mo Xiaoxiao's knee pressed on Ning Thirteen's knee, and the knife cut Ning Thirteen's arm with his backhand, and took down Ning Thirteen's waist pillar Dalong to make it impossible to exert force, so that it could not.

Ning Shisan, who was restrained, knew that he couldn't resist, so he could only grab the corner of the shopkeeper's shirt with his other hand, his eyes turned red, and he roared in a low voice: "You can think about it clearly, if you fish him out at this time, maybe you can still save him!"

The shopkeeper shook his head quite easily: "It seems that you have some misunderstanding of my character, and again, I am a serious businessman, how can I do things that violate the law and discipline? Besides, what good is it for me to kill this kid?" ”

Maybe it was because he couldn't think of the shopkeeper's reason for Guo Xiaodao, or maybe it was because he knew that he couldn't resist, Ning Shisan's tense body, which he thought was excited and nervous, relaxed, and noticed the changes in Ning Shisan's body, and the knife let go of Ning Shisan, but Mo Xiaoxiao stopped between Ning Shisan and the barrel and warned him: "Don't make trouble, if you kick this bucket over with that foot just now, the kid in that bucket will really die." ”

Ning Shisan was stunned when he heard this: "Could it be that this is really a secret method?" Listening to the conversation between Mo Xiaoxiao and the shopkeeper before, it seemed that the Mo family also had a similar method, plus Mo Xiaoxiao opened his mouth, Ning Shisan subconsciously set his eyes on Mo Xiaoxiao.

Mo Xiaoxiao shook his head: "I don't know very well, but I heard the older generation in the family say that the human body does not only have seven orifices, there are countless small holes on the body of each living being, I have seen Gu worms sink into the water for three days and three nights, and they are still alive and well after coming out of the water, there are some top assassination masters in the rivers and lakes who can close their holes for a few days in order to wait for the target to appear, just like a dead person, although I don't know the truth, but since there is this method, there must be other secret techniques similar to this method It will not be too unusual." ”

After that, Mo Xiaoxiao and Ning Shisan looked at the knife together, and the knife was stunned: "What do you want me to do?"

"Why are you blocking it?" Mo Xiaoxiao frowned, in her opinion, although the shopkeeper's line acted together, but the knife could never be integrated into it, if it was about to leave, although there were intersections and contacts on weekdays, but from the feeling that Mo Xiaoxiao always felt that the shopkeeper, Bai Xiaosheng and Guo Xiaodao were a group, and the knife and the wild thieves were just a relationship of "accompanying the same road".

Mo Xiaoxiao believes that even if everyone is surrounded by enemies, or even in danger, this demonic knife will definitely not hesitate to abandon everyone in order to save her life, she doesn't believe that the knife will make a move for Guo Xiaodao.

"I'm just still worried about this kid's private money. The corner of the knife's mouth grinned: "If something happens to this kid, it will be troublesome." ”

The knife hadn't forgotten what happened when his fingers touched the water, and if it hadn't been for the shopkeeper's timely intervention to pull him away, the knife believed that he would have been sucked dry by this strange bucket of water without a sound.

He is still like this, not to mention Ning Shisan, who has no martial arts cultivation, I am afraid that he will die on the spot if he just touches the water, and Xiao Dao is still thinking about this golden key to take him to open the door of the small treasure house.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt anyone until the contract expires. The shopkeeper pointed at Ning Shisan's hand holding his clothes and said lightly: "But if you hold me again, it's hard to say." ”
