When it was dark, the caravan was stationed in a broken temple, this broken temple was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the water in front of the door was the most suitable place to rest in a barren countryside, I don't know where the front team was stationed, because it was far away, A Niu was responsible for the caravan's residence as always, because it pushed the carriage for most of the day during the day, and it was already exhausting to be so busy and busy, and at this moment it was finally assigned to a mattress and lay comfortably on the broken temple ground, the night sky was a little hazy, it seemed that there was heavy rain coming, the autumn wind gusted in the mountains, blowing in from the leaky walls everywhere to make the bonfire flicker, the temple did not know what kind of god was enshrined, and the blue-faced fangs were particularly terrifying, no one mentioned the matter of two lives, presumably it was determined that the murderer was the person in the team in front of him, and he couldn't control the murder of someone with impunity, because people couldn't afford to provoke him.

The horses and carriages were brought into the ruined temple, but fortunately, the ruined temple was finally large, and so many goods were piled up to block a lot of leaking places, so that the ruined temple was not as cold as imagined.

"I suddenly want to take a hot foot wash, what do you say?"

Zhao Jian, who really called Ah Niu countless times during the day, finally came to Ah Niu who had just lay down.

Ah Niu reluctantly sat up from the mattress.

"I've been tired all day, can't you let me sleep soundly?"

"Of course not. ”

Zhao Jian smiled coldly.

"Three taels of silver to buy you to serve me all the way, this is more than you take this trip to earn a tael, is it possible that you think these three taels of silver are so easy to earn? Go quickly, although I will not beat you and threaten to kill you with a sword, but if you don't serve me well, life will definitely be more difficult than now, of course, there is another way, that is, you choose to leave the caravan now, but even if you want to leave, you have to be sneaky, don't be found by me, otherwise I will break your legs." ”

"You are more hateful than the two men who died. ”

"So what? It's what you owe me, and you promised. ”

"The two people who died were the ones who bullied me, you know. ”

Ah Niu, who was tired and couldn't lift his strength at all, grinned.

"Aren't you afraid that you'll die too?"

With a simple sentence, Zhao Jian only felt a chill in his back, and he couldn't even understand how such a feeling could suddenly be made out by a qi bag who was bullied on weekdays.

"How is that possible?"

Zhao Jian's originally somewhat comfortable state of mind suddenly felt a little dry at this moment.

"The murderer you are talking about is their young lady, and now they are dozens of miles ahead of us, do you think I will believe that she ran twenty miles in the middle of the night to kill me for no reason? ”

"But you offended her during the day today, for my sake. ”

Zhao Jian was speechless for a moment, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva before saying leisurely.

"I just look at how pitiful you are being bullied, if you are bullied by a man, it doesn't matter, at most you can only say that you are weak, but you are being bullied by a woman, you are disgraced by a man's face. ”

"If you think I'm pitiful, why are you trying to squeeze me now? I'm pitiful enough, I didn't get anything after a trip, and I almost lost my life. ”

Ah Niu sighed.

"Everyone is running for life, why can't we understand each other and give a way out. ”

He finally got up and went to get Zhao Jian footwater, but the latter was already lying comfortably on the mattress at the moment.

"Do you want me to take off your shoes and socks for you?"

"That's not necessary, the main thing is that I don't plan to wash my feet, I think what you said is very reasonable, I'm afraid that I will lose my life because of washing my feet in hot water, so it's better not to wash my feet. ”

For such a sentence that seemed to be pretentious and seemed to be genuinely awakened, Ah Niu just smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"In that case, forget it, I'm really tired today, if there is anything else to send, you can say it at once, if not, please give me a little time at night so that I can rest well, don't come to wake me up again, I'm really tired. ”

Ah Niu was indeed very tired, and finally fell asleep after pushing the carriage with his right arm for a day and preparing the caravan food and lodging, he thought that he could sleep peacefully all night, but he didn't expect that the dream was broken after all, and he was woken up again, but he was not woken up by Zhao Jian, but by a scream.

"Dead. ”

Dead again, after the next two lives, there was a third murder, the deceased was in the broken temple, a team after the two dart masters who had bullied A Niu, and another dart master who didn't treat Ah Niu very well on weekdays, died exactly the same, was cut off his head and gouged out his eyes.

The skinny monkey boss is on the verge of collapse.

"Who? Who killed who?"

A bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, illuminating the blue-faced fanged statue in the ruined temple, and the god of the wilderness unknowingly took out a third human life.

Many dart masters were completely dumbfounded, and the three or five huddled together as if they had encountered great fear.

"Could it be that they're back to kill again?"

Although Zhao Jian was frightened, he was still a relatively calm one, and he said that they naturally said that they didn't know where the Jiang family was stationed, but after patrolling around the broken temple with the two dart masters, they came to a conclusion that absolutely no one had come, the horses never neighed, and all the horses nested in the temporary stables outside the broken temple, and there was not even a single footprint on the dirt outside the broken temple.

"Is it really a ghost killing?"

The boss of the thin monkey swallowed his saliva and said something that he didn't even believe.

"It's not supposed to be a ghost killing. ”

There was an old dart master in the caravan who was almost the age of sixtieth year, and the old man had always had a lot of experience that young people could not match, and he had seen many things that young people had never seen and heard.

The old dart master said slowly.

"Although the barren mountains and wild mountains are infested with ghosts and snakes, but ghosts can't kill people directly, and if it's really a ghost, it's impossible to completely alarm us, in my experience, the person who kills must be a real master, his light skills are very good, and it's not an exaggeration to step on the snow without a trace, and his speed is very fast, the internal strength is very strong, and it looks like the three people died the same, in fact, it's not the same, the first two people who died were killed by their own weapons, and the wounds just matched, but this time the wound on this guy's neck was neat, and it was not at all the knife in his own hand that could be caused, and the three people were not killed by the same person, only this time was a real master, at least there is a realm of a product to be so quiet, but after thinking about it, our dart team has never offended such a master. ”

"Could it be that the Jiang family is the group of people? The Jiang family is a martial arts family that can go hand in hand with the sword shrine, and there are many masters among them, and only they can do it if they think about it. ”

The boss of the thin monkey said this, although he didn't communicate much along the way, how could he not even have this bit of eyesight after running the rivers and lakes for so many years?

Fortunately, no one has ever linked the murderer to Ah Niu.

"I don't know yet. ”

The old dart master shook his head.

"It is too arbitrary to conclude that it was the Jiang family who killed people based on these alone, but the Jiang family has never been able to clear the suspicion, it is worth thinking seriously about when we have offended such a powerful master, and if not, why did he target us? Could it be that he is targeting our goods?"

This conjecture was quickly rejected by the skinny monkey.

"Our goods are just some southern specialties, and they don't make much money, just a quantity, and even if they want to be stared at, it is absolutely impossible to target our goods, at most it may be to target one of us. ”

When this sentence fell, the already panicked dart team became more and more uneasy, you look at each other and I look at you, and their eyes have become a little suspicious from the heroic at the beginning.

"There are already three people dead, I used to say that a certain boss was a little bit backed, but I didn't expect it to be on me this time, Lord Mountain God, if you really have a spirit, you will tell me whether it is a person who kills people or ghosts, if it is a person, who is this person, if it is a ghost, where is the ghost?"

The skinny monkey boss is really on the verge of collapse.

A caravan down, not a third of the way to the three lives of the people, although the dart where did not meet a few dangerous deaths, but that is also a real knife and real gun, not like at this moment the figure did not see the strange death of three people.

It's not the enemy that's scary, it's the enemy who doesn't even know where to hide.

This fear also spread more and more from the ranks.

No one answered the skinny monkey's question, only another bolt of lightning pierced the night sky to illuminate the blue-faced fanged mountain god.

In the second half of the night, no one dared to sleep, even if they were lying on the mattress, they didn't dare to close their eyes, for fear that the next moment they would be cut off and their eyes gouged out.

Zhao Jian couldn't sleep either, he didn't even lie down, he just sat in the corner of the wall and hugged his sword tightly to face the fear that might arise at any time.

"You're not afraid?"

He looked at Ah Niu, who was the only one lying on the mattress with his eyes closed, and he knew that Ah Niu had not fallen asleep yet, because Ah Niu had just fallen asleep after disposing of the corpse.

"Why should I be afraid? It's just death, in fact, my life is a sadder thing than death. ”

Ah Niule laughed, he was the only one who could still laugh.

"I hope that the person who died is myself, and I will save myself from getting out of the wolf's den and into your tiger's mouth. ”

"You said something like I was bullying you badly. ”

After Ah Niu said this, Zhao Jian felt a little better, and he said softly.

"If we can live to our destination safely and worry-free, I don't want your two taels of silver, I will give it all to you. ”

Ah Niu was not surprised, after all, under such a panic, it was a very fortunate thing to be able to survive, but he still shook his head.

"That's not good, what you owe you is what you owe you, you have to pay it back, you don't have to be so pessimistic, maybe we can find out who the murderer is tomorrow, if you really feel sorry for not going to the next journey, you can be kind to me." ”

"Better? What do you hope is a good way?"

Zhao Jian was surprised.

"For example, sleep comfortably now, don't disturb me, because I'm really tired, do you know that my right arm is about to break, and I feel uncomfortable at the thought of pushing the carriage for another day tomorrow, but I have to do it for two taels of silver, this is the gap between me and you, so I hope you treat me better, and it can be regarded as accumulating some yin virtue for yourself?"

Zhao Jian smiled dumbly, and looked at Ah Niu again, he fell asleep after saying this, and it didn't take long for a slight snoring sound.

Zhao Jian didn't bother Ah Niu in the end, because he knew that Ah Niu was very quiet when he slept, even when he was curled up in the corner, there was only one possibility for him to snore, that is, he was really tired.

Dawn, the thunder and lightning last night were finally glad that the thunder and rain were small, and the panic that lasted in the middle of the night finally gradually dissipated when the sky was bright.

The boss of the thin monkey didn't close his eyes at all in the second half of the night, and his eyes were red, but he knew that even if he was afraid of this team, he still had to keep going, so he woke everyone up and didn't eat breakfast, even if Ah Niu had already prepared it, no one was in the mood to eat, just a few quick bites, but Ah Niu ate a big feast, he was almost the most comfortable person in the hundred-person caravan, because everyone knew that only Ah Niu was not worried about his death.

Because they all think that he is a person who is not much different from living and dead.

The dirt road is finally better, but it is still very difficult, but fortunately, after a night's rest, he finally recovered a lot of strength, and Zhao Jian finally listened to Ah Niu to treat him better, and began to help push the cart, and he was finally not so tired.

It's just that they stopped at the front of the caravan after only twenty miles of road, and Ah Niu and Zhao Jian at the back didn't know what was going on, and when the two of them ran to the front to look, they saw that the Jiang family and his party were camped yesterday, and the fifty or sixty people didn't move at all, even if it was already autumn hanging, because their team also died, and two died, two men, and the way of death was the same as the one they died last night.

"Here's what's going on. ”

The boss of the thin monkey was a little reluctant to believe what he saw, because he had suspected that the dead people in the team were the hands of the Jiang family, but now the Jiang family is also dead, how can this be explained?

"What's going on, that's what you saw, I was found just in the dark today, dead outside the tent, screaming at all, looking at the blood, wounds, dead for only two or three hours, who did it? Isn't it you?"

The female dart master's eyes burned, as if she thought it was their hand.

"Unfortunately, we also died last night, but in the middle of the night, and I can now deduce that they were killed, and by the same person, who killed our man first, and then ran twenty miles to kill your man, so that there will be a difference in the degree of blood drying, and that person must have been watching us nearby. ”
