Chapter 297: Whose Fault
If it is said that the disciples of Kongming Mountain have a feud with the mountain ghosts of Baishang Ridge, they will be retaliated against. More than 20 Kongming disciples were all killed, and it is understandable.
One hundred and ten people in Hewan Town were also implicated and slaughtered, which is outrageous.
Now, the murderers who committed this bloody crime are right in front of them, do you really want to let them go?
The mountain ghost with a pair of pointed ears said to Niu Hao again:
"Let him go. We put that you people. ”
Niu Hao looked at the pointed ears.
The pointed ears turned around, and another figure emerged from the depths of the billowing smoke, it was the captain of the ship.
The boat boss looked at Niu Hao, his face was like ashes, and his body couldn't help but tremble for a while.
Behind the boat boss, another mountain ghost set up the three-pointed hunting fork in his hand and aimed it at the back of the boat boss's heart.
Pointed ears looked at Niu Hao, waiting for Niu Hao to answer.
A gust of wind blew from the surface of the Qingjiang River, blowing away the obscuring smoke, revealing more mountain ghosts.
At a quick glance, Niu Hao couldn't see how many people could be.
More than a dozen, more than twenty or more than thirty.
The few standing in front of them pull the short bow in their hands, or clench the three-pointed steel fork. Kneeling in front of them were captured boatmen.
The latter ones, some of them have old wounds on their bodies, and they support each other. Some work in pairs, carrying their seriously injured companions. There were also a few people carrying the corpses of dead mountain ghosts on their backs.
When Niu Hao was in Baishangling, he already knew that the disciples of Kongmingshan had made people angry and resentful in Baishangling. The mountain ghosts and forest demons that were captured were far more than one or two.
What did the disciples of Kongming Mountain do with those mountain ghosts, Niu Hao didn't know.
I thought that this time I would be able to solve this mystery in Riverbend Town, but I didn't want to come one step later. The Kongming disciples in Hewan Town all died at the hands of those mountain ghosts.
Pointed ears to be replaced, Niu Hao looked at the boat boss, then looked at the boatmen in the distance, and said:
"There are a lot of those people, and they all return them to me. ”
Pointed ears nodded, Niu Hao and Zhengwen couldn't understand the words, and shouted.
Several boatmen who were pressed down in front of the mountain ghost were pushed by the mountain ghost behind them and left the place. The boatmen ran towards Niu Hao like a roll.
The mountain ghost who set up the steel fork and aimed it at the back of the boat boss stared at Niu Hao, and slowly put away the steel fork.
Niu Hao let go of his hand, and the mountain ghost who was tightly held by Niu Hao's throat turned his head unconvinced, and bared his sharp fangs at Niu Hao.
Pointed ears shouted at the mountain ghost, a pair of eyes stared at Niu Hao, and then slowly raised a hand.
In the distance, the mountain ghosts retreated, their figures hidden in the billowing smoke.
The captain of the boat was nervous, and he didn't take a few steps before he fell headlong.
Niu Hao took a step forward to hold the boat boss. When he looked up again, the pointy-eared mountain ghost was gone.
Zhengwen was not at ease, and asked Niu Hao in a low voice:
"Will they play tricks and launch a surprise attack when we are unprepared. ”
Niu Hao shook his head.
Mountain ghosts and forest demons, Niu Hao has also seen a lot. Good and bad, all evil.
They have a strong temperament and a bad temper, and they will never argue with you when they disagree, and they will do it directly, and they will be superior under their fists.
But they at least talk the talk.
All the bodies are cremated, the ashes are sorted out and buried in turn, and then the deceased is recited for the super. After all the work was done, it was already the next day.
Zhengwen was tired and even more depressed because he had seen so many dead people for the first time.
The big guy found some cold and hard corn noodles from the porridge shop and distributed them to Niu Hao and to Zhengwen.
Zhengwen shook his head, not having any appetite.
The big man turned his head to look at Niu Hao, but Niu Hao couldn't help it.
Persuading people is not good at this kind of thing.
Zhengwen stood alone by the river, looking at the flowing river in a daze.
The big man motioned for Niu Hao to take a look.
Niu Hao spread his hands at the big man.
What can I do?
The big man walked up to Niu Hao and suddenly reached out to wrap his arms around Niu Hao's shoulder.
Niu Hao was defenseless and was taken aback.
Then he realized that the big man was demonstrating to him what to do with Zhengwen.
During this period of time, they got along day and night, and they got to know each other better, and Zhengwen's attitude towards Niu Hao has changed a lot. It's no longer like when we first met, with a cold face, like a cold ice that doesn't melt into the sky.
But if you let me go over and hug her, won't it be a bit of a death?
Niu Hao looked at the big man, and the big man pushed Niu Hao hard and pushed him to Zhengwen.
Hearing footsteps behind him, he reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and turned his head.
Niu Hao couldn't find anything to say, so he took out a corn noodle nest and handed it to Zhengwen, saying:
"After a busy day and a night, let's eat something. ”
Zhengwen shook his head and saw Niu Hao's appearance, but he still reached out and took the corn noodle nest into his hand.
"The people in town ......"
Niu Hao said, his head racing to think about what to say next.
"It should be said that their lives are not good, and they died in a daze at the hands of the mountain ghosts of Baishangling. But they are blessed to have our two disciples who went to court to help take care of the aftermath. ”
After Niu Hao finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.
This is not persuasion at all, this is ...... Did you say something.
Zhengwen glanced at it, shook his head slightly, and said for a while:
"I just think the people in town are so pathetic. Our disciples of Kongming Mountain caused trouble in Baishang Mountain, but they had nothing to do with it, and the residents of Hewan Town followed him to accompany the burial. Those people may die without understanding what is happening. They have been honest all their lives, but a catastrophe has come to them. ”
As he spoke, tears flashed in the corners of his eyes.
Niu Hao was a little frustrated and sighed.
Obviously, I'm here to persuade people, so I have to mention Hewan Town without opening a pot.
As a result, Zhengwen had just wiped away his tears, and the corners of his eyes were wet with tears from his own eyes.
Seeing Zhengwen's silent sobbing, Niu Hao hesitated and stretched out his arm to wrap his arms around Zhengwen's shoulders.
Zhengwen didn't roar angrily and slapped Niu Hao's face, but leaned his body into Niu Hao's arms.
Niu Hao endured the beating heart and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhengwen felt it, turned his head sideways and looked at Niu Hao, he originally wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth but swallowed back.
After a while, Zhengwen said:
"Let's go back to Qingyang City. Since the old man in charge of the ship said that every time he handed over the wooden cage to Tianjing Pavilion, we went to Tianjing Pavilion to ask who was responsible for this matter and for what purpose. ”
Niu Hao nodded, but a question appeared in his heart that he didn't dare to speak.
What if it was an order from the Immortal Master Mingyue Dao Leader of the Upper Court?
Niu Hao remembered that the last time he was in Baixia Village in front of Baishang Ridge, when Yuantong said that all this was the decision of the Immortal Master of Shangting.
Zhengwen leaned his body against Niu Hao, suddenly sighed faintly, and said to himself:
"What if, all this is the will of the Immortal Master. ”
Niu Hao helped Zhengwen, sat down slowly, and said:
"Take a break. Let's talk about what we look back on. ”
