Thriller Trainee
39. Chapter 39
Zongjiu felt that his oral euphoria last night might have had some ground-breaking effect.
Last night everyone chatted around the fire all night, and when it was almost dawn, many people could not hold on and fell asleep on the spot.
It was almost dawn, and since there were still so many people gathered together, Zong Jiu was not afraid and took a nap as well.
When he woke up, the eastern sky was already turning white.
It's just that the weather is still not good today, it's gloomy and lifeless.
Perhaps it was the lingering effects of jet lag from traveling around the world on planes, but Zongjiu's sleep was neither deep nor long. He only needed to get the amount of sleep that the human body normally requires.
Although he was woken up at this moment, he was still in good spirits. On the other hand, everyone else had obvious fatigue on their faces.
"What's wrong?" Zong Jiu got up from the ground first and patted the ashes on his body.
They were all woken up.
"Ah... my head hurts so much. Why are so many people noisy so early in the morning?"
Xu Su rubbed his sleepy eyes, and when he realized that he was still in the horror copy, he immediately opened his eyes and tried to dispel his stubborn sleepiness.
In a house not far away, Anthony and his men followed Azan in black and pushed out the door.
They all looked wary, and when they saw the newlyweds sleeping unsteadily in front of the fire, their expressions were very uniform and filled with contempt.
Being able to sleep like this in a horror dungeon means that this group of newcomers will most likely not be able to see the sun for the next few days, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
After their group left first with their chins raised, the newcomers were almost awake.
After waking up, everyone did not move, and all looked at the white-haired young man standing aside.
Zong Jiu, who was stared at by everyone: "...When we wake up, we can go over and take a look?"
Then the group of people followed Zong Jiu and marched forward in a mighty manner.
Obviously, after last night's late-night heart-to-heart talk, the newcomers all trusted him, the newcomer who had done the best, and he was the only one who followed his lead.
Zongjiu himself could not have imagined that he was a dignified mole, and he did not try to win people's hearts like the Messiah. He just said a word of praise, and he could achieve such an effect, which made people feel flattered.
The first time the mouth was high, Zhuge An uncovered the clues, and the second time the mouth was high caused a huge misunderstanding. From this, it can be seen that the mouth high must be stopped!
Rarely, Zong Jiu felt something close to pity in his heart.
When your main mission is completed, you can help these unlucky children. You don't even know that you are being used as a gun for the mole. Even the mole himself can't stand it anymore. How pitiful.
By the time they arrived at the scene, things were reaching their climax.
Almost all the young men in Tongbai Village came out in full force early in the morning, holding hemp ropes and hoes in their hands.
Wang Shou stood in the middle of them, covering his injured arm with one hand, blood leaking from his fingers, and cursing.
"Damn it, this bitch came back secretly and dared to hurt me. I have to capture her and sell her today!"
"Look! Find them all for me! She must still be hiding in the village!"
After hearing this, the other villagers went from house to house to check, and the sound of kicking open the firewood shed door kept coming.
All the unimportant people were driven to the central open space, and no one was allowed to stay in the earthen hut. After a while, there were a lot of people standing in the square, most of them were trainees.
"There is not a single woman in their village." Xu Su whispered.
Not only were there no women, there were no old people either. All the people holding hoes were thin men.
"Didn't the pre-plot say that women are being dragged away by these cowards and sold to human traffickers?"
Xu Sen sighed, "As for the old man... Well, I have entered a C-level dungeon called Dead Cave before. The background of that dungeon is very similar to this one. It is also a mountain village."
The Dead Cave refers to an old cave deep in the mountains. The cave is full of human skeletons. The skeletons turned into resentful spirits and enveloped the mountain top, resulting in a series of subsequent haunted events, which formed the basis of the C-level dungeon.
As the survivors explore, they will eventually learn that the Dead Cave is a place specially prepared for the elderly in several remote villas on the top of the mountain. In those days when there was not enough to eat, the old people in the village would sneak into the mountains and starve themselves to death in order not to burden their children.
That's why the Dead Cave is located in a deep mountain cave. The cave is full of sharp stalactites hanging from high places. When they are too hungry and can't stand it anymore, the old people will bump into them and end their lives.
After hearing this story, everyone else fell silent.
It happened that the villagers over there also came back to report. After hearing this, Wang Shou was so angry that he jumped on the ground: "How can I not find it? That girl must still be in the village!"
While he was still making a fuss, the village chief who came over hit him on the head with his cane.
"What time has it been? Are you making a noise so early in the morning?! You still haven't remembered what happened to Lao Qiang yesterday?"
It was obvious that although Wang Shou was the dominant figure in the village, he still lacked the confidence to face his old father, "Dad, that girl stabbed me like this with a hairpin!"
"She should have been kidnapped and sold with the girl before she escaped back to her parents' home, bah."
The old village chief glanced at his still bleeding arm and said, "Okay, okay, let's find some medicinal herbs to apply on it first, and then take people to the temple quickly."
"Then you are a widow. Will your family be willing to take care of her? She has to come back anyway. If she is caught, it will not be too late for you to deal with her."
Wang Shou also seemed to be convinced. He took the cloth on the side fiercely and pointed at a few people, "You go to the entrance of the village and guard it."
Tongbai Village is located deep in the mountains. There is only one way out of the village unless you continue to go deeper into the mountains. But there are not only no villages in the deep mountains, but also many beasts, snakes and insects, which is impossible even if you think about it. As long as the exit from the village is blocked, it's just a woman and she can always be captured.
After hearing this, the villagers went to the village to guard the village. The others followed Wang Shou obediently towards the back of the village.
Before leaving, the old village chief with a cane gave a few special instructions, and then several villagers came over with hoes in their hands and yelled at the trainees in an evil voice: "You who are fleeing, come here too! Hurry!"
What is this for?
Everyone looked at each other and followed suit.
The team turned left and right and reached the back of the village.
There was a piece of land at the back of the village enclosed by a rammed earth wall. Zong Jiu glanced inside and found that this piece of land was exactly the piece of land that everyone was discussing in front of the fire last night.
The soil inside the earth wall is dark red. Not only that, the soil surface is also much lower than the road outside. It seems that people often come to collect it.
"What are you looking at? What are you looking at?"
The villagers who were guarding their group of refugees came over with hoes and said, "If I take a walk, I will know that you refugees are dishonest."
The white-haired young man tilted his head, and like a magic trick, he grabbed a large silver dollar from the air and quietly stuffed it into the villager's hand.
"Brother, you have really misunderstood. We are all refugees who fled hundreds of miles away. How do we know this? A small gift is not a sign of respect. Why don't you explain it to us?"
The strange black cassette is good. Although many people classify this A-level prop as useless, for Zong Jiu, it is really useful.
The others watched his actions in stunned silence.
[Holy shit, is that the money of this era? Where did he get it from? 】
[I also want to ask, everyone has been poor along the way, why is he the only one rich? 】
[Hahaha, you know nothing about the power of magicians.jpg]
The villager squeezed the silver dollar in his hand, and his attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.
Zong Jiu turned his eyes and happened to see Anthony and Yi Ruisi's group not far away looking at him with unkind expressions.
He had a feud with these two people in Las Vegas before. Although Zongjiu didn't care, he didn't have the noble sentiments to be kind enough to send information to people who were unhappy with him.
"Wait, come over here and talk to us."
"Okay." For the sake of money, the villagers are easy to talk to.
Everyone has a bad nature. There were two or three people responsible for looking after these refugees, but he was the only one who took the money. If the other two villagers saw it, they must have had a share in it. Thinking of two things, the villagers would definitely want to keep it to themselves, so they cooperated and lowered their voices a lot.
"You outsiders must not know that our village is a village enlightened by Bodhisattvas."
The villager spoke mysteriously, "In ancient times, there was a Bodhisattva who saved all sentient beings here. After completing his merits, he became a Buddha. To express his gratitude, the Bodhisattva dipped a willow branch in the nectar from the Jade Pure Vase and painted a piece of land here for us. It is said that as long as you eat the fairy grass grown in this land, you will live forever and never go hungry."
Grass jelly?
Zong Jiu and Zhuge looked at each other secretly, then looked back at the red earth behind the earthen wall.
The ground was bare and barren, with nothing there. Even the red soil had only a shallow layer and was extremely barren.
However, there are indeed records of eating soil during the famine years. That kind of edible soil is called "Guanyin soil".
It's just that Guanyin soil is a gray-white clay soil, and only those who are really hungry will eat it. If you eat too much, your stomach will be bulging and your intestines will be filled with rocks and soil, and you will be close to death at that time.
"Since it is fairy grass, how can it be so good?"
Seeing the confusion on their faces, the villagers explained, "No matter whether it is a living seed or a tree, it will not survive if it is transplanted into this soil, but this soil is very valuable."
After that, he pointed to the temple behind him and said, "Look, that temple was built for the Bodhisattva in our village."
Sure enough, behind the circle of Buddha soil, a brick-red temple sat quietly there, incompatible with the dusty and dilapidated mud houses around it.
In this era of famine, they were able to build such a beautiful temple and eat Bodhisattva soil with every meal. It seems that the people in this village believe in their legend very much.
Zongjiu thought for a moment and continued to follow the team forward.
The destination of the team was the beautifully built temple.
At this moment, Zhuge An suddenly walked up to him without leaving a trace.
In full view of everyone, he suddenly asked.
"Any suspects?"
Everyone else subconsciously looked in their direction.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, the black-haired man's face remained indifferent, and he did not even lower his voice.
Zongjiu raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"
"As long as more than five people accuse the same one of being the mole."
Zhuge An's tone was calm, "If the main system determines that the identification is correct, you will immediately have the right to kill the mole."
"If the mole can be successfully executed, the level coefficient will be tripled."
Zhuge secretly glanced at Anthony and others who were watching eagerly, staring into the light pink eyes of the white-haired young man, and said with a hint, "Aren't you excited to directly upgrade to S level?"
