Fortunately, this guy's physique is not very good. Now his body temperature has cooled down, and even the small wounds have become scabs.
Zhang Zhuoxun disinfected and sutured him and told him: "You stay here and I'll go find my little brother."
"Fat Master, I'll go with you." The fat man disagreed and stood up with the gun in hand.
"Come on." Zhang Shuxun pressed on his shoulders and didn't let him get up. "Look at the wound on your leg. It's so deep. It's just been sewn up. Don't let it burst again. I can just go by myself. I'll be back soon."
."
The fat man knew that once he decided, it would be difficult to change, so he gave him the two cute v40s he had left in his hand, and warned him uneasily: "You and the little brother hurry up and come back. If it takes more than an hour, the fat man will definitely
Bring people to find you."
Zhang Shuxun smiled and gestured OK, patted his shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "You have to be careful when you stay here. Before the lynx group attacked, someone from the Huo family took action to light the lamp."
If it's broken, try not to get out of sight of Huo Xiangu and Huo Chushi."
"Don't worry, there are so many people out there right now, he doesn't dare to take action again." The fat man nodded solemnly in agreement.
Zhang Zhuoxun nodded, turned around and left with the knife on his back, walking step by step into the darkness.
He searched in the direction where the little brother's figure last disappeared. Along the way, he smelled a strong smell of blood more than 170 meters away from the camp. After searching, he found a particularly large group of people gathered under a big tree.
There is a pool of blood, the blood has seeped into the soil.
He looked up and came face to face with a face with white eyes. This face looked familiar to him. One of the people who took a picture of the fire pattern before entering the second stone seal was him. It seemed that this person
It is very likely that they came from other branches of the Huo family.
Anyway, there were no more people around, so there was no need to worry about it, so Zhang Zhu pushed aside the bushes and continued walking forward.
Less than two meters away, there was another pool of blood at the bottom of the tree. There was also a corpse hanging upside down on the tree. This person died much worse than the first one. His neck was wiped with a knife, and the internal organs in his chest were unknown.
The lynx still hollowed it out and ate it, and its abdominal cavity was torn open by its sharp claws. It was dragged and tied to the branch like a sausage, swaying in the wind, and the blood fell drop by drop, and the fishy smell in the air lingered for a long time.
.
I don’t know whether these corpses were hung up by lynxes to store food, or whether they were hanging up with slumped shoulders to scare people. If they are really the second type, I have to say that the bad old man has a strong taste.
Zhang Zhuoxun frowned and covered his nose. He had no intention of stepping forward to check. He looked up at the moon, estimated the direction, and continued walking forward.
The places where the corpses appear one after another are very clever, as if someone deliberately hung them on the tree to attract others to follow them.
Zhang Zhuoxun sneered in his heart, these were all cheap tricks, he wanted to see what he wanted to do with his flat shoulders.
The little brother didn't have a safety buckle on him, otherwise he would have followed the sensor and found it.
After walking for more than two hundred meters, the fifth corpse appeared. This corpse was placed in a slightly different posture. It was hanging upright, and there was no blood under the tree.
Zhang Zhuoxun came closer, suddenly stopped, leaned down and fiddled with the hay a few times with his dagger, and a metallic luster flashed past.
He gently pushed aside the obstacle and found that it was an iron ring with a chain as thick as two fingers attached to it.
He did not move the iron ring, but went around the place, climbed up the tree in twos and twos, cut the hemp rope tied around the body's neck, pulled it up and laid it flat on a thick branch, and carefully removed it.
Look.
This corpse has been dried for a long time. The flesh on the surface has shriveled due to lack of water and is close to the bones. The clothes on the body have long been faded and oxidized by wind and rain, but it can still be seen that this style is an older gray work uniform.
.
Zhang Zhuoxun observed his facial bones. The brows were high and the forehead bones were wide, the zygomatic arches were widened, and the eye sockets were deeply sunken. The eyeballs were not there, but there were one or two hay sticks sticking out from them. This seemed to be a human body with crooked nuts.
Remains.
After thinking about it, he put on his gloves and pulled open the clothes around the neck of the skeleton, and a bunch of tiny flies emerged from it instantly.
Zhang Zhu leaned back to avoid it, and stretched out his hand to drive the bug away in disgust. When he looked again, he realized that the inside of the skeleton was filled with hay. No wonder it felt so light to the touch just now.
"A scarecrow in human skin?" Zhang Zhuoxun muttered to himself.
I touched the pockets of my uniform and found no valuable clues inside. I guess I had already picked them all up.
So, what does it mean to put this thing here with slumped shoulders?
Or maybe he just hung these things here as trophies, waiting for wild beasts or birds to empty out their internal organs, and then fill them with hay to make scarecrow skin figurines?
Unable to figure out what the brain circuit of the flat shoulder was, Zhang Zhuxun used a dagger to peel away all the cloth on the outside of the corpse, and found a hole in the abdomen of the skeleton. At the entrance were some films that looked like spider webs, with some gray dust hanging on them.
of fine scales.
This is snake scale!
A possibility suddenly popped up in his mind. Zhang Zhuxun quickly broke through the film, and sure enough, he found more than a dozen broken gray-white eggshell fragments inside the hay.
Slumped Shoulder is actually using human corpses to breed snakes!
Zhang Zhuoxun subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction he came from. Judging from this, there were snakes in those fresh corpses.
The slumped shoulders are the result of a beast-taming madman. This belongs to both a lynx and a snake.
Zhang Zhuoxun is not sure what species these snakes are, or maybe Tongqiao has discovered the secret of the black-haired snakes and wants to get something from these snakes.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly slipped down the tree and came to the iron ring he had discovered earlier. He stretched out his hand to hold it and pulled it out hard.
Click, a dull metal collision sounded, and the sound came from the grass beside me.
Zhang Zhuoxun walked over and pushed aside the grass. There was a small earth bag covered by towering shrubs. The earth bag was covered with disorderly growing grass. There was a sunken gap in the middle of the haystack, and the grass stalks on both sides hung down naturally.
Go in.
The gap is not wide, so you can squeeze in sideways, and there is a sloping soil slope below. The soil has been trampled very solidly, and it can be seen that it has been specially treated.
Go down the slope and walk about five or six meters. There is a turn in front of you. There is an iron candlestick inlaid in the corner with half a red candle on it.
Zhang Zhuxun gently scraped his hands on the earthen wall, and the fingertips of his gloves were stained with a layer of gray-white powder, which was a bit like the scale powder on moths. He didn't know what the specific effect was, but he still avoided it carefully.
Clothes rub against.
After turning the corner, the tunnel in front was slightly wider, about one and a half people wide. The surface of the wall was also reinforced with wet mud and hay scraps mixed into mud, and scale powder covered all the wall surfaces.
Continuing to walk inside, the space in front of him became much larger, a bit like the dome cellars used to store crops in the village. Looking down, he saw many black coarse pottery jars made of ordinary materials, stacked in the corners.
, the size is not uniform, the largest one is half a person tall, and the smaller one is as big as a bucket.
He had seen this thing before at Agui's house. It was said to be used to pickle spicy bamboo shoots. It is also often used to pickle vegetables in the winter in the north.
Zhang Zhuoxun sniffed, and there was an indescribable strange fishy smell floating in the air. He was still wondering if there might be many snakes in these pottery jars, when he heard a slight scratching sound and swooping sounds coming from inside.
It's so rustling, in this dark place, I can hear the permeating panic.
Thinking of the missing brother, he decided to make a quick decision. He leaned over lightly, lifted the lid of one of the pots with lightning speed, and immediately took a few steps back to prevent anything inside from popping out suddenly.<
/p>
However, after waiting for a long time, nothing jumped out.
Confused, I looked closer and found that there were cocoons inside, each one as big as an egg, and they were packed like cotton at the bottom of the tank. The scratching sound I heard just now disappeared.
Suddenly having a bad premonition in his heart, Zhang Zhuxun quickly raised his head, only to find that in the dark corner above his head, there was a pair of gleaming beady eyes staring at him scorchingly.
It was a black-haired snake as thick as a wrist, its body was pitch-black, and it was spitting messages in the direction of Zhang Zhuxun, as if it was trying to capture some information.
The scratching sound that Zhang Zhuxun heard just now was the sound of a large tuft of black hair on its head scraping against the earth wall as it crawled.
Zhang Zhuoxun squinted his eyes, clenched the dagger in his hand, and was about to shoot it out when his ears suddenly caught the sound of rapid footsteps passing through the grass above his head.
Realizing that something was wrong, Zhang Zhuxun immediately stepped back quietly, only to see the black-haired snake following him out.
Maybe he found a gap in the grass and dirt, and the footsteps stopped outside, and the whole world fell into silence.
Immediately afterwards, a series of dragging sounds of chains came from above, and Zhang Zhu was startled. Someone was planning to seal the exit above.
At this moment, the black-haired snake became impatient and swam to the center of the cave roof. Just as Zhang Zhuxun was about to turn the corner, it suddenly attacked like a flying belt, with its body arched and its mouth
Opening wide, the fangs hidden in the upper jaw were completely exposed, and they bit Zhang Shuxun's neck.
Zhang Zhuoxun took two steps back and swung the dagger in his hand. Before the black-haired snake could take advantage of it, he stabbed it through the head with the knife and nailed it to the wall.
Due to the pressure on the head, the liquid in the venom glands spurted out along the fangs, part of it flowed onto the scale powder of the earth wall, and part of it splashed on Zhang Zhuxun's clothes.
In an instant, a spicy and pungent smell enveloped Zhang Zhuxun. His brain became uncontrollably dizzy, and his legs became weak. He held on to the wall and tried to walk out, but fell to the ground. p>
In a daze, he seemed to see green-yellow flames igniting on the wall, gradually spreading towards his location.
He told himself that he had to get out of here as soon as possible. Unfortunately, he had not crawled forward more than two meters when he felt that he could not control the movement of his limbs. His eyes seemed to be bloodshot, and everything in front of him was covered with a layer of red.
Mist.
After trying his best to climb the remaining few meters, a foggy figure passed before his eyes. The figure was wearing a white hooded cloak. As if he didn't see someone lying on the ground, he stepped directly over him.
He walked over, his cloak swaying as he walked, and Zhang Zhuoxun saw a bamboo tube hanging on his waist.
After entering the cellar, the figure reached out and grabbed a small snow-white snake from the bamboo tube and put it in the palm of his hand. Then he saw his mouth moving slightly, as if he was saying something to the little snake.
Perhaps Zhang Zhuoxun had been watching for a long time, and the figure seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly turned his head and looked this way.
This movement was too big, and the hood on the man's head fell off.
Zhang Zhuoxun's pupils suddenly shrank, and he clearly saw that on the right half of the man's face was a strange totem like a large fire.
He eagerly wanted to see more clearly, but the figure suddenly became very far away from him, and finally blurred into a ball, and nothing could be seen clearly.
The dizzying red color in front of his eyes slowly faded away at this time. Zhang Zhuxun blinked his sour eyes, and someone beside him said in surprise, "Wake up, wake up, he's awake."
Zhang Shuxun's mind was a little confused. Before he could recover, a white light flashed in front of his eyes. Someone took a medical penlight and shined it into his eyes and said: "The pupil's light reflex is normal."
"The antivenom has taken effect, let him rest for a while."
Zhang Zhuoxun heard that it was Huo Xiuxiu's voice, and felt strange in his heart. Then he felt many people around him disperse, and the lights in the tent shone on his face.
When he turned around to look, he found that the little brother and the fat man were sitting next to him. The little brother's face was unusually solemn, and the fat man no longer had the playfulness of his usual jokes.
Seeing Zhang Zhuoxun staring at him without blinking, the fat man asked him if he was thirsty and if he wanted to drink water.
Zhang Zhuoxun shook his head, and the strength in his body had returned. He sat up on the camp bed and rubbed his eyebrows, "What's wrong with me? Brother, didn't you go out after the whistle? Did you catch anyone?
?"
Before the younger brother opened his mouth, the fat man jumped in and said, "What are you saying? The younger brother obviously went to arrest someone, but in the end he came back behind your back."
"Didn't you catch the flat shoulder?" Zhang Zhuoxun looked at the younger brother with an expression of surprise.
The little brother nodded, pursed his lips, and said softly: "You are in the fire."
"I'm in the fire..." Zhang Zhuxun was just about to say which fire he was in, when something suddenly flashed in his mind, "Brother, did you find me at the entrance of a cellar?"
The little brother nodded slightly, "He knew I was looking for him, and the place where the whistle came was a trap."
It turned out that after the little brother chased the whistle, he only fought with Tumbo a few times and injured his arm. When he was about to catch him, he was suddenly attacked by several adult lynxes. The guy took advantage of the chaos.
Escaped.
The little brother got rid of the lynxes, followed the blood trail, and walked around in the bushes. Suddenly he found a fire coming out of a place. He realized something was wrong and rushed over, but he heard two violent explosions in succession.
.
Then he saw Zhang Zhuxun emerging from the sea of fire underground, and a raging fire was burning in the hole behind him, but he seemed to be unable to feel the burning pain, standing at the entrance of the cellar blankly.
Thank you [I was the most naive when I was young] [Bu Nian] and other bosses for the reward, and show your appreciation...*
