Hundred Ghosts

On the second day, the jailers dragged the morning corpses out. Judging from the look of the little jailer who brought them breakfast, they should be very happy.

Lin Zi also knowingly asked, "What makes you so happy?"

"That prisoner, he's dead!"

"Oh?"

"Mr. Bai said that his face turned blue and his eyeballs almost popped out. He was scared to death. Hehe, retribution."

"Maybe."

To be honest, Lin Zi liked this kid quite a lot. He was the opposite of Xiaocai's temper. Xiaocai was well-behaved and obedient, so he was more energetic.

If the two of them meet, they should be good friends.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you." He propped his chin and said.

"You said."

"You will be escorted back to the capital at noon."

"I know this."

"Then can you live?"

He Huai hummed twice, "Don't worry, we won't die."

No matter how powerful the little emperor was, he was no match for an ordinary person. Anyway, he would definitely not be able to kill himself, and he still had a crush on Lin Zi...he would not do anything to Lin Zi.

"I don't believe it." The little jailer shook his head, "If you haven't committed any heinous mistakes, why are you still wanted by the whole country?"

"Who knows." He Huai waved his hand.

After having their last slightly sumptuous lunch in prison, the two of them put on heavier handcuffs and shackles, and were sent to a large carriage.

Lin Zi felt quite surprised by this kind of treatment, he thought that the two of them would be directly stuffed into the prison van and bumped back all the way.

I didn't expect there to be a carriage, which was really a surprise.

The things in the carriage are also good, the cushions are soft, and it is very comfortable to sit and lie down--it would be better if there were no handcuffs and handcuffs.

The journey was long, Lin Zi reckoned it would take half a month this time, but on the fifth day, they didn't bring enough food, and they lost their way. Wild goats or hares serve as food.

But no matter what, their food has never been cut off. The escorts did not scold or beat them, nor did they talk to them, but they would find something to talk to themselves. Lin Zi and He Huai were enough to chat. Yes, just listen to what they have to say.

On the evening of the seventh day, they were going to rest by a river.The experienced leader in the middle said that as long as you follow the river, you will be able to find the village, and then you can eat some other food.

After camping by the river, seven people guarded the place, while the remaining five searched for food.

It is of course the most convenient to rely on mountains to eat mountains, to rely on water to eat water, and to catch fish.

Those people broke off some tree branches nearby, flattened them with daggers, and speared fish in the water.

After all, they are all martial arts practitioners, and they are not very old. This kind of thing is easy for them, but the river is fast-moving, and the fish in it are not big, but they are fine and wild. Two palm-sized fish.

The boy who was burning the fire pouted and said, "Just these two small fishes are not enough for one person to eat. Once the fire burns, they will be gone."

The five spearfishers smiled awkwardly, and one of them said, "Otherwise, we are hunting some prey nearby..."

"Wait a minute! Don't go! Look, there are a lot of dead fish over there, all of them are not moving!" The two teenagers who were still looking at the small fish suddenly shouted excitedly, and the rest of them all ran to the shore to see.

Lin Zi, who was warming up by the fire, tilted his head and squinted his eyes to take a look. Just a foot away from the shore, several fish appeared, all of them fat and fat.

He looked at He Huai, who shook his head slightly.

"Wait a minute, why did dead fish suddenly appear in the river?" Their leader stopped them and asked.

"I don't know, anyway, we can eat fish tonight."

"That's it!"

"You guys better not touch those fish." Lin Zi said suddenly.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the others all looked at him. These few days, they ignored them, and they didn't take the initiative to speak. This was the first time they heard his voice.

When the superiors sent them over, they had given a death order, not to let him go, but they must not hurt him, as long as his demands were not excessive, they had to satisfy him as much as possible.

The boy who stoked the fire asked him, "Why? Don't you want to eat?"

"But those fish are not edible."

"Why?" He was puzzled, "It doesn't look bad."

They used to compete with wild ghosts, even if they knew the meat was rotten, they still wanted to eat it.

Only by eating can you have the strength to live, and going on is more important than anything else.

"Do you know about ghouls?" Lin Zi asked back.

He shook his head.

"Ghouls are spirits in the water. They are also called water ghouls and water monkeys. They like to turn into dead fish to lure people to catch them. They catch more and more until people are exhausted. Then they will overturn the fishing boat and take the weary people Pulled into the water and drowned." Lin Zi said. "Don't lose your life because of this."

"It's just a legend..." the boy laughed.

"But I'm serious." Lin Zi stared into his eyes and said, "If you don't believe me, you can try it."

"Hmph, I really don't believe it!" Immediately, someone refused to accept it, took off his clothes and threw himself into the water.

I've never seen such a straightforward person who does what he says, without any discussion!Lin Zi panicked all of a sudden, rushed to the bank of the river, and waved to him, "Stop messing around, come back soon!"

His hand speed was extremely fast, he had already caught several fish, and he said to Lin Zi provocatively, "You just wait to drink the fish tonight..."

Before he could say the word "tang", he suddenly felt his feet being pinched by something. He kicked his feet in a hurry, desperately unable to open the hand pinching his ankle.

The temperature of that hand was bone-chilling, slippery, like the skin of a frog...

Could it be that guy said it was true!

He threw all the fish in a panic and struggled desperately in the water. The brothers on the shore called him anxiously, "Come up quickly, what's wrong with you?"

"He was caught by the ghoul!" Lin Zi said.

"Then I'll save him!" One of them made a gesture to go into the water to save him, but was held back by Lin Zi, "Don't go down, the strength of the ghoul in the water is dozens of times that of a grown man, you can only die if you go down."

"Then what should we do?" Seeing him sinking deeper and deeper into the water, the brothers were so anxious that they were about to cry.

At this time, He Huai snorted angrily, "I told you not to listen to him, and made you arrogant and arrogant, you know your mistake!"

"you!"

"Remove my handcuffs and shackles, and I will save him."

"How is it possible..." The boss firmly disagreed, the order from above was heavier than the sky, if he sneaked away while taking advantage of the bracelets on his hands and ankles, he would definitely not be able to bear the responsibility, but for some reason, his body walked over, and then The key is taken out and inserted/inserted into the eyelet.

After untiing the bracelet and anklet, He Huai took off his clothes until only his underwear was left. He winked at Lin Zi, jumped into the water.

The posture was pretty good, and the falling into the water was very stable, but it splashed Lin Zi's whole body.

Strange to say, when He Huai approached him, that hand actually let go of his ankle!

"Are you okay, big brother?" He Huai pulled him up and led him back to the shore.

It was still very cold in the evening, and the cold wind blew over, making my body chilly, and I couldn't help shivering.

Putting on dry clothes, he was going to say thank you to He Huai, and go to see him wrapped up in his outer clothes sitting a foot away from the fire, while Lin Zi was holding a branch in his hand, on which his underwear was hanging. —I'm helping him dry his clothes!

What's the matter with the inexplicable feeling of sadness?

The kind that feels sorry for myself.

After drying their clothes, they hunted for solitary game nearby.

Lin Zi asked to go with them. Seeing his frail appearance and the heavy handcuffs and shackles, the others were reluctant to take him, but Lin Zi said that he would go out to find herbs, and He Huai was covered with cold water. , What to do if you catch a cold, just in case.

The boss thought about it and agreed. If he really meant to harm his group, he wouldn't remind them about the ghouls.

"I'll uncuff your handcuffs and ankles. Don't run around. There are wild beasts here. I don't care if they take you away." The leader removed the restraints that had oppressed him for several days.

After throwing away the handcuffs and handcuffs weighing more than ten kilograms, his whole body became much lighter. Lin Zi stretched his arms and kicked his legs, his hands and feet relaxed as if they were not his own.

The brothers around him seemed to want to speak, so he waved his hand, knowing what they wanted to say?

I have always been with a group of rough guys like them, but I have never seen a person like Lin Zi who has a thin skin and tender flesh, and who speaks softly.

To put it bluntly, he looked down on Lin Zi a bit, and felt that he was like a little girl, and he couldn't help but slow down his voice when he was in front of him, and he would definitely not be able to walk with his feet and handcuffs tied to him.

To put it bluntly, the difference in force value is too big, Lin Zi can only be pressed to the ground by him... In front of him, Lin Zi can't even fly even if he has wings.

Lin Zi wasn't about to run away either. The others were busy blocking rabbits, so he looked around them and stomped on them.

A group of people thought it was funny, the cold spring had just passed, where did he get the medicinal materials from the wilderness, he was just an excuse to come out for a walk.

One of them deliberately asked loudly, "Aren't you going to collect medicine?"

"There's no medicine." Lin Zi responded with a good temper, "Have you caught your rabbit yet?"

"I caught it. Three rabbits and four pheasants are enough to eat. Do you have anything else to do? Go back if you have nothing to do."

"it is good."

Lin Zi came over and put his hands together in front of his head.

His wrists were fair and slender. I didn't expect a man's wrists to be so beautiful, and his eyes were a little straight.

"What... what's wrong?"

"Handcuffs and fetters... put them on." Lin Zi turned his wrists over, deliberately showing him the places where the handcuffs had been worn black and purple.

He thought to himself that this person is really delicate...turning away from looking at him.

"Forget it, I won't handcuff you for the sake of saving us. You can't escape anyway... Obediently follow us back to the capital, you know?"

"Okay." Lin Zi nodded obediently, but rolled her eyes slyly.

Sure enough, he was right, these people were passionate men, showing weakness in front of them would easily arouse their desire to protect.

Go back obediently?

impossible.
