Chapter 6 Ancient Village in the Mountains
The corner of Li Bo's mouth twitched unconsciously, recalling the process when this guy cut off his own wrist with a knife without hesitation. He looked less like a doctor and more like a butcher.
But he didn't dare to question it, because his broken arm relied on Xu Tongcai to quickly stop the bleeding. If it hadn't been for him, he would have burped before he had gone very far.
He was scared, not just physically, but also from the depths of his soul, he was afraid of the moody lunatic in front of him.
During the next two people's way down the mountain, Li Bo could only keep his mouth shut. He didn't dare to complain to Xu Tong even after he fell.
During this period, Xu Tong would occasionally check his wounds, which finally made Li Bo feel the humanity in this guy.
Of course this is just wishful thinking on his part.
But the sky was getting darker and darker, and the cold wind in the mountains felt like a knife on his face. Li Bo felt sleepy and hungry along the way.
Speaking of which, the last time I had dinner was around eight o'clock in the evening. I originally thought that after playing the game, I would have a late-night snack, take a bath, and then have a comfortable sleep under the massage from Technician No. 66, and then What a perfect day.
But now...
Looking at his severed hand, Li Bo felt like crying without tears. He touched his growling belly and thought how good it would be to have skewers.
As he thought about it, the aroma of barbecue filled his nostrils.
"Hiss~~ This taste is definitely like charcoal grilled pork belly. It's so fragrant. Roasted green peppers and two bottles of beer..." Thinking about this, Li Bo's saliva couldn't stop flowing out. He couldn't help but drink more. Take a few puffs.
Li Bo was lost in thought when his body suddenly tilted and he was pushed to the ground.
"Ouch..."
The unexpected fall made Li Bo grimace in pain. He raised his head in shame and looked up. When he saw Xu Tong staring at him with a cold face, Li Bo's face softened and he quickly said with a smile: "Brother Xu, you pushed me What are you doing?"
Xu Tong didn't say anything, but pointed in front of him to show Li Bo to see for himself.
Confused, Li Bo raised his head and took a look. He didn't look carefully at first. After rubbing his eyes with his hand, he took a closer look. His whole face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
"I...vomit...vomit..."
When he thought that he was thinking about roasting pork belly just now, the fat man's stomach felt like it was about to turn over. He fell down in the woods and started to vomit.
In the empty land in front of him, some scattered flames were still burning on the ground. However, there were not the charcoal-roasted pork belly that Li Bo thought. Instead, there were quite a few charred corpses.
Most of these corpses have been carbonized, and their limb joints are flexed, huddled up in a defensive posture similar to that of a boxer during a match.
Judging from the burnt smoke still coming from their bodies, it seemed that they were killed not long ago.
After waiting for a while and making sure that no one was around, Xu Tong walked out of the grass and came to a corpse. He opened the eyelids and mouth of the corpse. After looking carefully, he could basically confirm that these people were killed alive. Burn to death here.
"Brother Xu... vomit..."
Li Bo had almost finished vomiting. He walked out of the grass and saw Xu Tong squatting in front of the body with a thoughtful look. He thought that this guy was a pervert, but he still believed it until now. Be a doctor now.
Resisting the urge to vomit, he pinched his nose, held his breath and walked behind Xu Tong, whispering: "Brother Xu, why are so many people burned to death in this barren mountain??"
"Perhaps...the answer lies here!"
Xu Tong pointed to his feet.
Li Bo stepped forward and took a closer look. He saw messy hoof prints and two deep tracks.
Apparently these people were transported here and burned together.
Looking at the direction in which the trajectory in front of him extended, Li Bo couldn't help but swallow. He was about to say that we should not mind this business and find a place to rest as soon as possible.
The cold reminder in his ear forced him to shut his mouth.
[Main mission: looking for the real murderer]
[Mission goal: find the murderer]
[Task tip: Following the trajectory of the wheel, you will find the murderer's lair, but be careful, this process is bound to be full of dangers. 】
The prompt in his ear made Li Bo's mouth turn bitter. He looked at Xu Tong, only to find that the guy was looking at the end of the track, his eyes flashing coldly from time to time, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"Let's go!"
He said and walked forward in the direction of the track. As for Li Bo, even though he was 10,000 unhappy, he could only follow silently with his head down.
In fact, the next road was easier to walk than they thought. After all, no matter how bad the road surface was, it was still easier to walk on than the bumpy grass in the mountains.
About half an hour later, a little glimmering fire appeared in front of the two people.
"Village??"
Although Li Bo was fat, he had good eyesight. When he took a closer look, he found a small village in front of him. He suddenly thought: "Isn't it the murderer's lair? Why did it become a village?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "It's not a bandit's den, is it?"
"Won't!"
Li Bo looked at Xu Tong in shock, wondering how he could say it so categorically, but he didn't dare to say it, let alone ask.
"This way!!"
He took Li Bo's arm, and the two of them did not go directly into the village. Instead, they walked around the village before touching an inconspicuous place on the side.
As soon as they approached the village, they heard that the village was very lively. The two of them hid in a corner and looked around. They saw 囍 characters posted everywhere in the village. More than a dozen large square wooden tables were filled with men, women and children, drinking and guessing. Chatting and amusing, having a great time.
There is also a rattle team at the entrance of the village. Six old people are playing gourds, suonas and drums in shifts. The atmosphere is festive, just like celebrating the New Year.
"Gudong!"
Li Bo couldn't stop drooling as he looked at the good wine and food on the table, and his stomach rumbled uncontrollably.
Can you not be greedy? He hadn't eaten anything all night, and just now he wanted to spit out the jaundice water. At this moment, Li Bo felt like he could eat a cow.
Li Bo rubbed his dissatisfied belly and said, "Brother Xu, I don't think this looks like a bandit's den. It seems like it's just a village?"
Unfortunately, Xu Tong did not respond to his words and just asked: "Are you hungry?"
"Yeah yeah!!" Li Bo nodded crazily.
"Let's go to the kitchen and have a look."
He said, pulling Li Bo toward the kitchen and quietly groping over.
In fact, it's not a kitchen, it's just a small yard. In the yard is a straw shed. Two iron pots are placed on the built-in stove, and they are steaming.
The two of them stood outside the fence and took a look. Several large bowls were already placed on the table, with cooked meals in them.
Now Li Bo was even more greedy, thinking about taking a few bites while no one was in, when a shrill howl came from the house.
Ouch~~~
At this time, two shirtless men came out of the room, grabbing a white piglet. Ignoring the piglet's howling, they tied it up and placed it on the table.
"Walk!"
Xu Tong suddenly stood up and pulled Li Bo directly into the yard.
"Two masters, thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work!"
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xu Tong walked up to him with a naive smile on his face, and before the two of them could ask, he said: "My uncle said that the two masters have worked hard today, so he asked us to come and help the master."
"Your uncle?"
The two cooks were stunned for a moment, but then they seemed to understand, with expressions of enlightenment on their faces.
"No, just kill this pig and make a pot of pig-killing vegetables, and this feast will be over."
The bald man waved his hands towards Xu Tong and the two of them, indicating that they didn't need to help.
Ouch~~~
The little pig on the table began to toss again, more violently than before, and the whole table began to shake.
Seeing this, the bald man raised his hand and punched it with his fist, and cursed: "What do you mean, the king of heaven is here today, and you will be the one to blame!"
The older cook on the side thought for a while and realized that one more person would be more helpful, and he could help out with just a few odd jobs left.
"Okay, you two, stop working. Sit down and have something to eat and drink. We will kill the pig later and help fill the intestines with blood."
"Okay, okay!"
These words really spoke to Li Bo's heart. Ever since he entered the hospital, his eyes had not moved away from the table. If Xu Tong hadn't been standing there, he would have paid no attention to it. Eleven, eat him first and then talk.
After saying that, Li Bo sat on the table, grabbed a big steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
Xu Tong stood slowly behind the two of them, looking at the little piglet on the table with a curious expression, and said curiously: "Master, how many dishes can such a small pig make?"
The bald man picked up the bright kitchen knife on the side, glanced at Xu Tong and said with a grin: "Don't worry, there are still people who go into the water. Look at the pig head, pig heart, pig liver, pig lungs, and pig intestines. It’s good stuff.”
"Oh, yes yes yes!"
Xu Tong nodded repeatedly and put one hand behind his back calmly.
"Come!"
The old master picked up the basin, and saw the bald man casually picking up the bowl, taking a sip of wine, and sprayed it on the knife in his hand with a "Puff!"
At this time, the little pig could no longer scream, but its legs were still kicking back stubbornly.
"Hey, it doesn't hurt. It's just a knife, it'll be over as soon as you close your eyes."
Baldhead patted the piggy's belly and prepared to strike.
Xu Tong squinted his eyes and stared at the pig on the table, and slowly took out his hand from his lower back.
Li Bo, who was sitting in the back, was enjoying his meal when Leng Buding saw Xu Tong's hand holding the dagger slowly raised from his lower back. He couldn't help but froze, subconsciously retracting his arm and knocking the dishes off the table.
The sound of "Bang!" made Li Bo startled. He hurriedly picked up the broken dishes: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not... I... Hiss!!"
Halfway through his words, Li Bo couldn't continue. He stared straight at the bald head, and his hands holding the dishes couldn't stop trembling.
The bald man's body did not move, but his head turned 180 degrees, his eyes widened, and he glared at the short knife in Xu Tong's hand: "What are you doing!!"
"Hehe!" Looking at the head that turned around, Xu Tong smiled first, and then slashed at the bald head.
"Plop!!"
Immediately, the round head rolled on the table and landed squarely in the old master's basin. Only then did he hear him say calmly: "Besides chopping, what else can you do?"
