【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan jumped off first, followed by the other four. It is midsummer now, but as soon as the six jumped into the water, an inexplicable chill slowly rose in their hearts.

Zhao Jian motioned for Xue Ying to put his shoulders on his shoulders, and he held Xiao Jing with one hand and Yuan Zhongxin's shoulders with the other. over his left shoulder, and said softly, "Let's go."

Hearing this, Er Lengzi raised his foot and began to move forward.

The river bed was not as flat as imagined. It seemed that countless gravels had sunk to the bottom. If you were not careful, you would easily stagger and fall. The speed of the seven people walking was not fast, and could even be described as slow.

When she got to the middle of the river, Xiao Jing suddenly lowered her head in confusion. She looked into the water, but because of the darkness of the night, she couldn't see anything at the bottom of the river. Just as she was about to concentrate on observing, Zhao Jian beside her lowered her voice Open the mouth: "Xiaojing, keep up, don't look around."

Xiao Jing obediently responded.

The five-foot-wide river took them more than a moment.

Yuan Zhongxin bent down and looked towards the dark hole. He couldn't see the bottom at all. After a while, he looked at the second fool, who obediently bent over and crawled in.

Yuan Zhongxin looked at the five people behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

After climbing in, the six people found that the entrance of the cave was not as narrow as imagined, but the inside of the cave was full of dark lights, and they could only move by their intuition in the dark.

I don't know how long it took before all seven people came out of the cave, and they saw a plowing field. Looking into the distance, they could faintly see a row of houses with two or three small lamps lit, and there was a bamboo forest opposite the house.

Wei Yanei flicked the water off his sleeve and sighed, "This is called a town, what the hell are there outside?"

Zhao Jian frowned and looked around, and asked suspiciously: "Where is the person? Didn't you see someone in that small hole before?"

Yuan Zhongxin looked up at the sky, and it was completely dark at this time: "I guess they all went home."

At this moment, the second fool who hadn't moved for a long time suddenly moved and walked towards the bamboo forest in silence.

Wei Yanei just wanted to grab him: "Hey! What does he want?"

Yuan Zhongxin stopped Wei Yanei from moving, staring at his back: "Follow."

Erlianzi walked on the road openly, but Yuan Zhongxin and the others were not so bold. They chose the path overgrown with weeds and followed behind Erlianzi under the cover of bushes and tree trunks.

Fortunately, no one was encountered along the way.

Er Lengzi led Yuan Zhongxin and the others through the bamboo forest and came to a very secluded place. There was actually a thin gray cloth covered with a few patched clothes scattered on it. A fire that has been extinguished, and a few steamed buns that have been stained with dust are randomly placed on the ground.

The six people stared blankly at the second fool who rolled onto the gray cloth, grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

Wei Yanei was startled: "The buns are dirty!"

The second fool acted like he didn't hear it, he wolfed down a steamed bun, and finally licked his fingers contentedly.

Zhao Jian glanced here in surprise: "Your idiot won't just sleep here, will you?"

Yuan Zhongxin said indifferently: "This is his home." After finishing speaking, he stared at the fool lying on the gray cloth rolling around without saying a word, feeling a little strange in his heart.

They had just come out of the water, their bodies were sticky and wet, and their clothes were very uncomfortable against their skin. The six of them untied their belts. Wang Kuan walked around and brought back a bunch of dried bamboos. Arranged to form a small fire, Yuan Zhongxin took out the fire starter from the burden and lit the pile of dried bamboo.

Six people sat around the fire to dry the wet clothes.

Wang Kuan looked at Yuan Zhongxin who was wringing his sleeves dry: "What are we going to do next?"

Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan looked at each other, then turned to look at the stupid man who stopped rolling and began to stand up: "We're staying here for one night now."

Zhao Jian was puzzled: "Why? Shouldn't we go into the town to investigate at night?"

Yuan Zhongxin shook his head: "We don't know enough about this place. If we go in rashly, we will be discovered and it will be difficult to get out."

Zhao Jian was even more puzzled: "It's because we don't understand enough that we have to go in earlier."

Yuan Zhongxin stared at the fire in front of him, his eyes were surprisingly bright, he smiled suddenly: "There is no need to go in, someone will tell us."

Hearing Yuan Zhongxin's words, Wang Kuan suddenly came to his senses: "You mean the man Wei Yanei saw in the woods?"

Yuan Zhongxin lazily responded.

As soon as the ghost-like person was mentioned, Wei Yanei's face turned pale again, and he wanted to cry without tears: "No, he will come to us again?"

Zhao Jian also understood the meaning of Yuan Zhongxin's words: "He didn't come to look for us, that person should be looking for a fool."

The second fool called that man, brother.

With a gloomy face on his face, Wei Yanei sighed sadly: "He won't kill us, will he?"

Yuan Zhongxin turned to one side, leaned back, leaned on Wang Kuan, folded his arms in front of him, crossed his legs and stretched them long, closed his eyes and said casually: "Don't worry, as long as there is that idiot, he will dare not."

Wang Kuan gradually clenched his fingers, allowing Yuan Zhongxin to lean against him, and he said to Zhao Jian and the others, "Go to sleep, I've been tired all day."

Zhao Jian glanced worriedly at Yuan Zhongxin, who seemed to be asleep, and hesitated to speak.

Wang Kuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, it's fine with us guarding it."

Wei Yanei was tired and sleepy, but because Yuan Zhongxin said that the man would appear, he was so grudged that he dared not fall asleep. In the end, he couldn't stand the drowsiness, so he hugged Xue Ying's arm tightly before he dared to close it. Eyes go to sleep.

Zhao Jian and Xiao Jing sat back to back, thinking about things, and slowly fell asleep.

Among the six people, only Wang Kuan seemed to be awake.

But Wang Kuan knew that Yuan Zhongxin would not let him watch the night alone, he was still awake.

After an unknown amount of time, a gust of wind blew, and the bamboo forest shook slightly.

Wang Kuan's expression was serious, he didn't move, he held his breath to pay attention to all the movements around him

Yuan Zhongxin opened his eyes suddenly, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "Here we come." Then, he straightened up and looked into the depths of the bamboo forest in front of him.

After a long while, Yuan Zhongxin raised his foot and took a few steps forward: "I don't know how long the brother in the bamboo forest will hide? The light is not good there, why don't you come out and talk about it?"

Yuan Zhongxin's voice was not low, and the four people in Wei Yanei, who had slept lightly, woke up. When they opened their eyes, they saw Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan's posture. The four of them naturally knew what happened.

There was still no movement in the depths of the bamboo forest.

Yuan Zhongxin smiled disdainfully, and stretched out his hand horizontally: "Xue Ying."

Xue Ying tacitly pulled out one of his knives and handed it to Yuan Zhongxin. The latter took it, and without hesitation walked towards the sleeping fool, put the knife on the neck of the fool, and said in a cold voice: "Brother, if you If you don't show up again, your brother may not be able to keep him."

After a while, a person came out from the bamboo grove. His eyes were resentful and gloomy, he glanced back and forth at Yuan Zhongxin and the others, but he didn't look at the idiot who was used by Yuan Zhongxin to hang his neck.

When the man was completely exposed to the open fire, Wei Yanei took a breath and quickly hid behind Xue Ying. He pointed at the man in front of him with shaking fingers and shouted: "Yuan Zhongxin! It's him! That day I The person I met in the forest to relieve anxiety is him!"

The only person who saw this person that day was Wei Yanei. Zhao Jian and the others thought that Wei Yanei's description was exaggerated, but now they saw that what Wei Yanei said was absolutely true. The man was exposed in the air like a dead person. His complexion was gray and pale. If there were no shadows to testify, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a ghost.

Yuan Zhongxin squinted his eyes, not being frightened by him, he asked casually: "What you are wearing is human skin, right?"

As soon as the words came out, the surroundings fell into a death-like silence.

The man's pupils dilated and his body trembled uncontrollably. He opened his mouth to speak, but he could only make a babbling sound.

Yuan Zhongxin's eyesight is good, and he saw half of his tongue in his mouth by the light of the fire, and he said to himself, "So he's still dumb."

Zhao Jian looked at him in disbelief: "Yuan Zhongxin, what are you talking about? What do you mean by wearing human skin?"

Although Wang Kuan looked calm, his eyes were full of shock, and he said rather awkwardly: "Brother Peeling, what the idiot said, is this what you mean?"

At this moment, the sleeping stupefied moved, opened his eyes, subconsciously moved, suddenly felt a chill on his neck, he paused, looked up and saw Yuan Zhongxin pointing a knife at himself with a cold face The second stupefied stunned for a moment, then yelled indistinctly, and his whole body flinched.

Yuan Zhongxin was indifferent to his reaction, and pressed his hand that was waving in the air. He looked at the man and smiled slightly, but his eyes were as cold as winter, and said in a cold tone: "Brother, If you don't express anything, I'm afraid your "brother" will die."
