Chapter 825

In the world, on the coast of the North Sea, in the port of Xiangyang.

This is a very prosperous port in Huaxia Kingdom, located in the northernmost border town.

In the port of Xiangyang, in spring, summer and autumn, it is very deserted here. Not to mention outsiders, even locals can hardly see a few. It is not an exaggeration to describe the spring, summer and autumn here as ten rooms and nine empty spaces. .

Because of spring, summer and autumn, the port of Xiangyang is simply uninhabitable. The wind is too strong. During the day, the sea breeze blows desperately on the sea, and it never stops for a few days in the whole three seasons. At night, the cold wind on the snow peak of the Duanlong Mountains behind Blow it down desperately, like ghosts and wolves howling, maybe when you just fell asleep, you were still sleeping in the house, and when you woke up in the daytime, the house was gone, and people were frozen into popsicles.

In addition, there are many wild beasts and even monsters in the Duanlong Mountains, invading the port for no reason, so in spring, summer and autumn, the entire port is quiet, with broken houses and scars, and almost no living people can be seen.

But in winter, Xiangyang port is paradise.

Because the wind that has been blowing for three seasons has finally disappeared, the Duanlong Mountains have blocked the cold current from the north, the wind from the sea is warm, the whole port is very comfortable to live in, and the beasts and monsters on the mountain seem to have hibernated and no longer intrude The port, and most importantly, in winter, there are very rich fish under the glacier, and a net can pull thousands or even tens of thousands of catties.

After a busy winter, the residents here can earn enough for a year's expenses to go outside to the colorful world.

The house is also very simple to make, using ice sculptures, and several floors of buildings can be built overnight, with a little decoration, it will become a tourist holy place that countless people yearn for.

Today's winter is earlier than usual.

Therefore, many Xiangyang port residents who are wolves in the outside world have not yet returned, and the first to come back are more than 20 families.

When Xiangyang Port was at its peak, nearly 10 people lived here.

Early in the morning, every household is making ice sculptures on their own foundations to build a house, which is the job of the adults, while the children are playing in the snow, and there are no adults to take care of them, even if these people run to the port. Adults will not worry about playing on the glacier, because the first skill these children learn from childhood is swimming, and the second skill is hunting and shooting!
Yes, guns are legal here.

Because there are huge beasts and monsters in the Duanlong Mountains, although they hardly come down in winter, some restless beasts always come to the port to look for food, so the local government issued guns to every family in the port, Of course, these guns must apply for registration, and they are only used in Xiangyang Port. Once they use guns to injure or kill people, they will also be sentenced to prison.

Four eleven or twelve-year-old children, some boys and some girls, were chasing each other and playing on the glacier, very happy.

Suddenly, a ten-year-old girl exclaimed!
"Meixiu, what's wrong?"

The other friends ran towards the little girl one after another.

Immediately afterwards, everyone was shocked.

The glaciers in the port are generally more than two meters thick and as hard as iron. Usually no one walks on them, and even the fish trucks for shipment can drive directly on the glaciers.But at this moment, under the staring eyes of the four children, a piece of the glacier cracked, and it was full of cracks like spider threads. The glaciers in other places were all white, and the water flow and Fish, you need to use a drill to drill holes before you can cast a net to catch fish.

But at this moment, not only are there many cracks in this two-square-meter glaciers, but the ice is completely transparent. Under the ice floats a naked man, glistening with blood, and countless fish gather together. He was sucking greedily beside this person, and the reason why this person was not washed away by the sea was because his two pale arms were frozen in the ice, and he was allowed to be bitten by fish like a prisoner...

"This is a dead man!"

A boy exclaimed, his pants were wet all of a sudden, he was frightened.

But the little girl who discovered this person first, that is, Meixiu, retorted very seriously: "He is not dead, I saw him open his eyes just now."

A boy snorted, "Look at him motionless, he must be dead!"

Meixiu retorted: "I said he is not dead!"

Another girl said: "I heard from my grandfather that those bad guys will be thrown into the glacier to feed the fish after they die. This person must be a bad guy!"

Another boy retorted, "No, he's a water demon!"

Meixiu snorted: "He's not a water demon, I'll tell my father, my father said, you can't leave him alone!"

The companion booed: "Hahaha, Meixiu, you finally admitted that he is dead, and it's useless to save him. It's better to let him feed the fish."

Children's minds are very simple, if they think this is a dead person, then they will be afraid, but if they think this person is not dead, then they will only think of how to save the person.Fortunately, these children were born and bred in Xiangyang Port, and they were naturally bold, so after they ran away, they didn't forget the business, but called the adults over.

Soon, news of a murder case on the glacier spread throughout Xin Village.

Xincun is the one of the four villages in Xiangyang Port that is closest to Beihai, and Meixiu's grandfather is the old village head of Xincun.

Soon, more than a dozen men from Xin Village came, and the old village chief also came.

Seven or eight big men took more than an hour to fish out the person from the glacier. It was a man.

As for how old this man is, since his whole body is glistening with blood, he can't find a piece of intact skin and his face is beyond recognition, so it is impossible to tell the man's age intuitively, but judging from his strong body, it should be is a young man.What makes people feel strange is that this young man is cold all over, without breathing or heartbeat, but he is holding an iron rod in his hand, but no matter how he pulls it, he can't separate his arm, as if the iron rod was born with a long body. Like on this man.

The old village chief touched the man's blood, licked it in his mouth, and said, "He is not dead."

Xin Hu shouted: "Dad, you said he is not dead, you see that his heartbeat is gone, his breathing is gone, and his whole body looks like someone has skinned him, how could he not be dead?"

The old village chief stroked his beard and said, "You are not weak, you can kill a pig with one punch, but why didn't you take the stick from his hand just now?"

Xin Hu was taken aback, and his old face blushed and said: "It's not that you taught me since childhood, it's not that we don't take things from us. If your old man takes a fancy to this stick, even if I chop his hands into pieces, I will take this stick." Take off the fire stick." Then he took out a small ax pinned to his waist, and was about to chop his hands.

The old village head said angrily: "I really don't know if your mother's brain was caught when she gave birth to you. How could she be so stupid?"

Xin Hu snorted, "No matter how stupid he is, he is still your son."

A villager said with a smile: "Xin Hu, that's not necessarily true. I heard from my father that when your mother was young, she was a flower in my Xiangyang port. I don't know how many men miss it!"

Xin Hu kicked the man fiercely, and cursed: "God, get out of the way, believe it or not, I will kill you with an axe!"

The villagers of Xin Village carried the unrecognizable man back to the only big banyan tree in the village.

This big banyan tree is definitely the strongest thing in Xin Village. No matter how strong the wind is in spring, summer and autumn, other houses are blown away and razed to the ground, but this banyan tree has never been blown down.Gradually, under the banyan tree, there was a simple earth temple, a cage built by the intricate roots of the big banyan tree, with a wooden statue of the father-in-law placed in it, and some incense candles and offerings. Earth Temple.

The old village chief said that the man was not dead, but other villagers said that the man was dead, and in order to save trouble, it was most appropriate to throw him under the big banyan tree.

Because in Xin Village, a person who throws an immortal person under a banyan tree can return to his soul. If the man opens his eyes within three days, then they will save him, otherwise they will go to the head of the village. Dig a hole in the cemetery and buy him. There are many foreigners buried in that cemetery, and they are all corpses that have never been claimed.

"Meixiu, why did you bring us here?"

Although Meixiu was wearing a thick cotton padded coat, she still had caterpillar-like snot flowing from her nose, but her big eyes and melon-seeded face made her look like an embryo of a beauty. Meixiu sniffed her snot and said, "I'm here to guard you." I want to see when he wakes up, I really didn't lie to you, he really opened his eyes and looked at me, and he seemed to smile at me."

Another boy laughed loudly and said, "Meixiu, are you stupid? He didn't even eat, how could he wake up?"

As soon as Meixiu heard this, she retreated and ran away.

Someone shouted from behind: "Meixiu, you go to them again, wait for us."

In the afternoon, the police came.

There is no police station in Xiangyang Port, and these police officers are drawn from nearby ones.

Because there are no people in the entire Xiangyang port for three seasons a year, so naturally there will be no permanent government agencies.As long as these policemen spend the winter here, they will be able to return to their original town.In fact, very few policemen are willing to come to Xiangyang Port to perform duties, because guns are legal here, and the management is very chaotic. Once something goes wrong, these policemen will be blamed.

"He's not dead!"

This was Liang Wencheng's first words when he first saw the bloody man.

As for why he made such a first judgment, Liang Wencheng himself said it. It can only be said that it is his years of experience in the police force.

A police officer next to him said: "The old village chief said he is not dead, but his soul has not come back."

Liang Wencheng laughed and said, "A person with a soul is not necessarily a living person."

A forensic doctor squatted down to check the man's body and said: "He has no breathing and no heartbeat, but his blood is not cold, which is strange, and the injuries on his body seem to be ripped apart by someone. A layer of skin, but I don't think so, he seems to have experienced some kind of huge shock, not only his body was completely shattered, but his internal organs were not only injured, but the bones and internal organs were moved."

Liang Wencheng said, "You mean, from a forensic point of view, he is already dead?"

Xiao Li shook his head and said: "I don't know, logically speaking, if there is no heartbeat or breath, this person is declared dead, the body has no vitality, and the blood will cool down within two hours, not to mention that it is minus ten degrees here. In winter, he was still salvaged from under the glacier, not to mention that his blood couldn’t be hot, it’s already a miracle that he didn’t bleed to death!”

Liang Wencheng nodded and said, "Carry him to the car and try our best to rescue him. This is our duty."
