Chapter 187 Monitor Lizard and Human
"Brother Jianxin, come here and take a look." It was Wang Jin who shouted from the place where the kitchen used to be.

Li Jianxin hurriedly walked over following the sound, and saw Wang Jin standing at the entrance of the cellar in the kitchen, preparing to go down with a torch. "What's wrong?" Li Jianxin asked aloud.

"When I just opened this cellar, I smelled a rancid smell, and now I want to go down and have a look." Wang Jin said holding a torch.

Li Jianxin hurried over, stopped Wang Jin and said: "Don't go down, lest there is poisonous gas below." Li Jianxin took the torch from Wang Jin's hand and threw the torch down. The torch burned in the darkness for a while, It went out in an instant.

At the moment when the torch was still burning, Li Jianxin found some bone-like things, and said to Wang Jin: "Don't go down here, there is poisonous gas in here, and it is easy to cause problems if people go in. First, open this cellar for a while." Yes." Li Jianxin said and led Wang Jin out of the kitchen.

After a while, a strong rancid smell came out, and Li Jianxin quickly covered his mouth and nose and said to Wang Jin, "I don't know how many corpses are there."

"Corpse?" Wang Jin looked at Li Jianxin and asked in surprise.

"Yes, the corpse. When I threw the torch down, I saw a few bones, some of which looked like human bones. If I'm not mistaken, this cellar should be the place where the inn is specially used to hide the corpse. " Li Jianxin guessed.

"It's just that I also inquired about this inn just now. It has only been open for less than half a year. How could there be bones?" Wang Jin asked.

"I don't know about this." Li Jianxin spread his hands as he spoke, but he heard the sound of paws scratching across the stone slab.Then he turned his head and looked in the direction of the cellar, only to see a black lizard crawling out of the cellar slowly.

I saw that the black lizard reached the height of a person's calf, with a narrow and pointed head, a dark red tongue gliding between its mouths, and a cloudy light flashed through its dim yellow eyelids. It looked like it was crawling outside the kitchen.It was the first time Wang Jin saw such a monster, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Jianxin, what kind of monster is this?"

"This is a lizard. The thing in the cellar must be his masterpiece." Li Jianxin pulled Wang Jin back as he spoke. Although he knew that the huge lizard in front of him was a scavenger, Wang Jin didn't know it. I was also afraid that the lizard in front of me would suddenly explode and hurt people.

The lizard just rolled its eyes and glanced at Li Jianxin and the two of them, then swayed and called softly towards the entrance of the cave, and a slightly smaller lizard emerged out of nowhere.In this way, the two lizards lazily walked out of the kitchen under the gaze of Li Jianxin and the two of them, and came to the yard, where they lay down and basked in the sun.

"What are they doing?" Wang Jin asked, pointing at the two lizards. It was the first time he saw such a terrifying species, and he was a little frightened and curious. Now he is naturally a curious baby. up.

"They are basking in the sun. This kind of thing is similar to a gecko, but it is much bigger. Don't look at them. They look a little more ferocious, but now they just eat carrion. Now they are basking in the sun, they must be before. I stayed in the cellar for too long, and my body lacked something, and now I come to supplement it by basking in the sun." Li Jianxin said to Wang Jin with a smile, and he could see that the two giant lizards were nothing to them Appetite.

"Brother Jianxin, do you think this lizard is a cannibal?" Wang Jin pulled out the sword from his waist while speaking.

"Don't worry, they don't eat people, they just eat animal carcasses. It's like there are worms to eat after death. They can't tell whether it's human flesh or pork. Naturally, what kind of meat is sent to the mouth Just eat it while you're at it. Keep them for now, what if they still have some clues?" Li Jianxin pressed Wang Jin to let him put the sword back into the scabbard.

"Huh, what a big four-legged snake." It was Lao Wang who came to the kitchen and saw two lizards lying on the ground basking in the sun.The bigger one of the two lizards was quarreled by Lao Wang, and just glanced at Lao Wang with drooping eyelids, and then closed his eyes and basked lazily in the sun.

"Uncle Wang, do you recognize these monsters?" Wang Jin looked at Old Wang and asked, "Brother Jianxin said that these monsters don't know how to eat people."

"Yeah, they don't eat people, they only eat dead animal carcasses. I've seen them in Nanyang before, they are half the size of these two, but they are also much more ferocious, unlike These two are lazy." Lao Wang walked over as he spoke, stretched out his hand to caress the larger monitor lizard, the monitor lizard just raised its head and looked at Lao Wang, its tail kept sweeping against Lao Wang's legs It seemed to be driving away Lao Wang.

"Where did you find these two monitor lizards?" Old Wang stood up as he spoke.

"The two of them crawled out of the cellar." Li Jianxin pointed to the cellar behind him, and said, "there should be some bones in the cellar, but now there is poisonous gas, and no one can enter."

"It seems that the corpses of those people are hidden in this cellar. Presumably the two monitor lizards were also used to digest those corpses. Those gangsters just came over and said that those charred corpses were suffocated to death. "Old Wang walked into the kitchen as he said, and walked out covering his mouth and nose after a while.

"That is to say, those corpses were still alive before this. Hey, I should have come out earlier, so as to save one or two lives. It's not necessary to find so many useless clues like now." Li Jianxin Then he let out a long sigh.

"Sincerely, you don't have to be so discouraged. No one would have thought that the inn would suddenly catch fire, and you don't know that there are three people hiding behind the counter, but we are not without gains."

"Oh? Did you find any clues there?" Li Jianxin asked.

"See you, come here and have a look, here." Lao Wang said, pointing to a spot on the front leg of the giant lizard he just touched. There was a scabies-like scar on it. "Look at this sign, is there a word 'ten thousand' written on it?"

Li Jianxin looked intently, and sure enough, he found the word "ten thousand" vaguely in it. "If I'm not wrong, the two monitor lizards are from the Wanshou Villa in Nanyang, and the clues can be found here."

"Old Wang, you really are as careful as a hair, and you have insight into the details." Li Jianxin couldn't help but praised, sweeping away the previous depression.

"Don't be too happy, these two monitor lizards can only be said to come from Wanshou Villa, but whether Wanshou Villa has any relationship with the people behind this inn is still uncertain, I can guarantee that they will definitely push it away It's clean. But I think there should be some clues in the cellar." Old Wang said with a smile.

"Then let's go take a look inside after the poisonous gas dissipates." Li Jianxin said with a smile, he was already very happy to find some useful clues.

Half an hour later, Li Jianxin walked up to the cellar, feeling that the stench inside had dissipated slightly, and threw down another torch, but this time the torch was not extinguished, and Li Jianxin went down into the cellar.

The cellar was very quiet, but Li Jianxin vaguely heard the sound of extremely weak breathing. Could it be that there are lizards in the cellar?Li Jianxin picked up the torch on the ground and shone it into the darkness, but there were several bloody corpses. The bones of these corpses were already exposed, and there were some rotting flesh on them.

One, two, three, seven, Li Jianxin counted, and there were seven corpses in total, five of them were already rotten, but the other two corpses were still in good condition, and there was no sign of corruption.Suddenly, one of the two intact corpses moved a finger.

Is this person still alive?Thinking so, Li Jianxin hurriedly walked over, breathed out, and found that this person still had some breath, but his breath was already gone.He checked the breath of another corpse again, but this corpse had no breath.Li Jianxin quickly and carefully carried the man on his body, jumped out of the cellar, quickly put him in the courtyard, and said to Wang Jin: "Wang Jin, go and prepare a stretcher, we will take this man Take him down to the hospital, he should still be saved."

Wang Jin received the order and hurried out.Lao Wang walked over, looked at the comatose man, first checked the man's breath, then stretched out his hand to feel the pulse in his neck artery, and finally rolled the man's eyelids and said : "This man can still be saved. If it's [-]:[-] at night, I'm afraid he will die in the west."

"That's good." Li Jianxin said that he was about to pass a burst of true energy, but he just remembered that he was cultivating the power of death, so he said to the old king: "Old Wang, please continue to pass a burst of true energy. Save this man's life."

"Okay." Lao Wang responded, and then stretched out his hand to pass a burst of true energy through the heart of this person, and Li Jianxin saw that this person's face turned rosy.

"Huh." Lao Wang was surprised, and then lifted the blood-soaked clothes of this person, and saw that there was a gap in the abdomen of this person at the liver, and the wound had already scabbed, but it was very bloody. terrible.

"This person should be the sheep liver provider from yesterday." Li Jianxin said.

"I'm afraid it is." Old Wang said as he brushed his beard slightly, lost in thought. It was the first time he had seen someone really willing to eat two-legged sheep in so many years.If it is a troubled time, it is also said in the past, but now it is not considered that the people are not living well, so why would someone choose to eat people?Lao Wang was a little puzzled.

"Brother Jianxin, I'm back." It was Wang Jin who ran over with a stretcher and pulled a 50-year-old doctor with slightly gray hair.

Li Jianxin saw the doctor, walked over quickly, handed over ten taels of silver and said: "This is for your doctor's visit fee, sir, please take a look at this man."

The doctor took the money and didn't say much, just squatted down, looked, heard and asked about it as usual, then took out a dose of medicine powder from his sleeve, opened the man's mouth, gulped it down, and said to Li Jianxin: " I also hope that you will carry this person to my clinic, the medicine just saved this person's life."

"It's as long as you can be saved." Li Jianxin said, and gently picked up the unconscious man, put him on the stretcher, and went to the medical center with Wang Jin and Lao Wang. Lao Cao and Xiaoliuzi continued to investigate.

In the medical hall, Li Jianxin was watching the doctor give needles to the unconscious man, but he slowly figured out some ways, but he didn't understand medical principles, so he could only figure out a thing or two.After the doctor gave the needle, he went to decoct the medicine, and after about half an hour, he came over with a bowl of black medicine soup, and said to Li Jianxin, "This medicine soup, wait until it cools down, and then drink it again." Feed him down."

"Doctor, when will he wake up?" Li Jianxin asked.

"This... I won't hide it from my lord. The little old man's abilities are limited. This person's lungs have been poisoned deeply, and he has wounds on his body. It is hard enough for him to be alive now. As for when he wakes up, it depends on God's will." If it is as short as three to five days, it may not be able to wake up if it is long, it still depends on the person's survival awareness. The longer he sleeps, the harder it will be for him to wake up." The doctor shook his head while speaking.

"Please pay more attention, sir. Remuneration is not a problem." Li Jianxin took out 100 taels of silver bills and stuffed them into the doctor's hand as he spoke, and patted the doctor's hand solemnly.

"Little old man will do his best, please rest assured, sir." The doctor also said solemnly.The two chatted about the medical principles of acupoints and meridians, and then Li Jianxin took Wang Jin and Lao Wang back to the inn. The doctor just said that he would tell Li Jianxin when the person regained consciousness.

Li Jianxin walked into the courtyard, but saw Little Six playing with the two monitor lizards, and said, "Where did you find the reins?"

"It was also found in the cellar, and it just happened to be used." Xiao Liuzi said while pulling the two tired people on the ground.

"Since you like it, then you can keep it. It's just that this thing only eats meat. Then you will be in trouble." Li Jianxin said with a smile. In his opinion, the monitor lizard's food was carrion, and it had nothing to do with whether it was human flesh or pork, it just happened that someone deliberately put human flesh there.

"Forget it, let's kill it." Xiao Liuzi said, but he was not interested. He reached out and pulled out the dagger from his waist, and killed the two lizards one by one.

"Why did you kill them all of a sudden?" Li Jianxin couldn't help asking, he didn't care too much about the life and death of the giant lizard, he just felt that Little Six was a little moody.

"I think Qin Daxia's wife is about to give birth at home, and I'm afraid that the giant lizard will hurt their child. It's better to kill them, not to mention that children often come to the house, and we are not always at home, so as not to They had an accident. It's better to let them die." Xiao Liuzi said nonchalantly.

"That's fine." Li Jianxin said indifferently. Anyway, he only found a clue of "Longevity Villa" on the giant lizard, so he didn't have any special concerns about it now.Anyway, the giant lizard was dead, so there was no need to make a big blush with Little Six because of it.
