shame on
Hua Rongyue was not really afraid that the bug would kill the people next to her after it was released, but it was because the bug would most likely fall on her after it appeared.
That scene was too eye-catching, so Hua Rongyue decided to cut the insect halfway.
Just when Hua Rongyue rushed forward, Guo Xiu frowned slightly behind him, and then slowly relaxed his eyebrows after Hua Rongyue made no further movements.
Hua Rongyue shook the tube and heard the sound of jingling bells inside. There was indeed something inside, but... there was something wrong with the touch.
"What's in there? You snatched it before I could see it clearly..." The man who had just been snatched away by Hua Rongyue said unhappily. As a result, he saw Hua Rongyue opening the cover of the bamboo tube and looking from inside.
What poured out.
At that moment, he must have felt unhappy. After all, Hua Rongyue had just stopped him from moving the bamboo tube, but now he opened it. As a result, what Hua Rongyue poured out of the bamboo tube was a motionless thing.
A dead insect formed into a ball and shrank in the palm of Hua Rongyue's hand.
No wonder the bamboo tube felt much lighter just now. It turns out that the insect was already dead... When Hua Rongyue looked at the insect in his hand, a person behind him jumped over in a single step.
"This, this is..." Ai Yan walked over and said excitedly and at a loss.
Hua Rongyue looked at him and remembered that this thing could be sold for a lot of money in the market. She couldn't give it to Ai Yan alive, but if she was dead... forget it.
She stuffed the insect's body into the bamboo tube and threw it aside. Ai Yan caught it. Hua Rongyue turned around and picked up another bamboo tube, but suddenly a voice came from behind her.
"This bug... doesn't seem to be something that ordinary people can come into contact with." The man said as he walked over. He looked at the bug in Ai Yan's hand and said with interest: "After all..."
"Ordinary people have little chance of seeing it, but madmen have a better chance of seeing it. After all, this thing is more attractive to madmen."
After hearing what he said, more than half of the dozen or so people present looked over.
"This bug does kill people, but it doesn't kill in the ordinary sense." The person who spoke was the slightly feminine-looking man.
He looked at Hua Rongyue and said, "So this dear friend... knows a lot."
The atmosphere in the venue seemed to be stagnant, with many people looking at Hua Rongyue and the feminine man.
"You're not bad either." Hua Rongyue said calmly.
"No, I definitely don't know as much as you." The man smiled and shook his head.
"If I saw this bamboo tube at first sight, I would never have thought of what it was. After all, I have only seen it once."
"But you are different." He looked at Hua Rongyue with a meaningful expression, "You recognized what it was the first time you saw it, and you obviously know how it kills people..."
"As if you had used it to kill someone yourself."
Hua Rongyue stood there, silent.
She just casually looked under the Buddha statue, and there were all similar bamboo tubes, densely packed.
This feminine man definitely meant what he said. After he finished speaking, many people looked at Hua Rongyue in strange ways.
After a while, someone came over and persuaded the two of them in a low voice, and the weird and tense atmosphere in the room slowly faded away.
The person pulling Hua Rongyue was Wang Xiaer. She looked at Hua Rongyue with a little worry, as if she was worried that they would fight if they disagreed.
Of course Hua Rongyue would not start a fight. She remembered that she was on a mission, especially under Guo Xiu's nose. How could she dare to act rashly?
She silently stepped back to temporarily reduce her presence, but was suddenly grabbed by someone when she was leaving.
The person who grabbed her was Guo Xiu.
While Guo Xiu looked at Hua Rongyue, he quietly handed her a note. Hua Rongyue hid in a place where no one was around and opened it, which contained two things.
The first thing is to tell Hua Rongyue to be careful and not to act rashly like just now.
The second thing is to be careful of that feminine man.
Hua Rongyue crumbled the note and put it in his pocket.
When we went back, the atmosphere in the venue became a little more lively. At least everyone kept silent about the incident just now.
Fu Jiang stood quietly in the corner alone. Ai Yan and the others gathered around Fu Jiang, and the four of them were discussing the matter carefully.
"Something's wrong." Fu Jiang whispered, "This place... doesn't feel right."
"Ai Yan, don't look at that. The bug is already dead. Why are you still playing with it?" Wang Xiaer looked at Ai Yan helplessly and said.
"That's right, didn't you listen to what that person said just now? These bugs can kill people, so Yi Yue must have trampled all those bugs to death before. They look scary, so don't play with them." He Jindao
.
Ai Yan looked at the bamboo tube in his hand and said, "I didn't want to see this bug, I just thought it was strange... It stands to reason that the black market price of this bug is so high, so it should be very rare. Why are we seeing this bug one after another during this period?
thing?"
"Hmm... maybe we are lucky?" Wang Xia'er said.
Ai Yan looked at the bug, shook his head and said, "I never believe in luck...and it stands to reason that my luck should be particularly bad. I only believe in money, but this money right now...
I also started to have some doubts.”
Fu Jiang and the others fell into silence again because of Ai Yan's question. After a while, Wang Xia'er whispered, "Speaking of which... have you ever thought about Yi Yue's background?"
Several people looked at each other in confusion. This issue went round and round, and it seemed that they had returned to the issue that had been ignored by several people.
After a while, Wang Xiaer said, "I think...did we underestimate Yi Yue's identity before?"
Fu Jiang also just felt a sense of fear. Although Yi Yue was a prisoner, he always thought that Yi Yue was the kind of person who had been recruited by the Six Sects and had some special abilities.
Fujiang saw a lot of people like this, and most of them ended up in the Sixth Gate, so although Fujiang always had a bad attitude towards him, he still thought that this person was still an ordinary prisoner.
But when the feminine man appeared just now, Fu Jiang realized that something was wrong.
Liumen has been collecting information related to the "madman". Fu Jiang knew about this. He also knew that everything related to the madman was confidential. Even the little soldiers and generals who were close to the madman had no status.
They are all taller than the other six doors.
What on earth is going on? Fujiang felt slightly unhappy. He glanced at Yi Yue again to reassure himself that he was overthinking.
Although this person has always been cold-faced and doesn't like to talk...but he has never made a move against them, so he should still be on their side.
For a time, Hua Rongyue suddenly cast a mysterious shadow in the hearts of several people in Fujiang.
Hua Rongyue wanted to tell Fujiang and the others about a row of houses over there, but she saw a fair-faced, slightly chubby little fat man who was riding in the same car with her at that time walked over and asked the feminine one.
Man: "You, when did you see this kind of bug? Where did you meet it?"
"That... seems to have happened a few years ago." The feminine man smiled, "What? Do you want to ask clearly?"
"No, it's not." The little fat man was a little nervous when facing this man, "I just want to know some news about this bug. Maybe it can help us figure out what's going on here..."
This fat man... is very courageous. Hua Rongyue looked at his back from behind and thought silently.
It's just that my brain is not working well.
"What did that person do when he went up to talk to him?" Fu Jiang frowned, "That person is not easy to mess with at first sight. If you start talking to him, you might accidentally make him angry again."
He stepped forward to stop him.
"This bug... likes to drink human blood." Unexpectedly, the feminine man actually told the fat man, "The more powerful the person, the more he likes to drink blood."
"Keep drinking, and this bug will get into your body." The feminine man said, "It will eat your flesh and gnaw your bones, and then you will start to go crazy."
"Ah?" The little fat man seemed to be frightened. His behavior actually made the man with a feminine face burst into laughter. He pointed at him and said, "You were actually frightened like this?"
"Okay, okay, let's get started quickly. We can't stay in these rooms anymore. Let's go find a place outside, make a bonfire, light some mosquito repellent, have a rest, and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."
Wang Xiaer came over and said softly.
Everyone got up and started to pack things. Naturally, they still had to listen to what the boss said. Fujiang sighed, got up and scratched his head, and was ready to do some serious work.
Although this house can no longer stay, the bedding and other items in it are still in good condition. They can take them out and use them and spread them out in the yard.
"Ai Yan, help me look through my package, and then take five people away to pick up some firewood. He Jin, find a few people to go to the river to get some water and cook dry food. The rest of the people will follow me. Let's
Go to the yard... eh? Where are the remaining people?" After Fujiang shouted a few times, he suddenly felt something was wrong and stopped.
"One, two, three...twenty-three, twenty-four." He pointed at the people in the yard and counted them one by one. He found that there were two less people, so he counted them a second time, and the result was still the same.
people.
There were a lot of people out just now, and most of them were busy doing some work at hand. They were all scattered. In addition, this was a makeshift team. Everyone didn't know each other, so no one noticed anything for a while.
wrong.
"One, two..." Fujiang's heart was beating wildly for no reason, and he counted again calmly.
There are indeed two people missing.
The people around were still communicating with each other, and from time to time some people chuckled. After all, most of the people here are Jianghu people, and they don't have a straight face all day long.
"What's wrong?" Wang Xia'er walked over curiously, "Why did you suddenly stop standing here?"
Fujiang took a deep breath and shouted to the crowd, "Everyone, stand there and don't move!"
As soon as he spoke, the open space suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at Fujiang with confusion.
Fujiang looked at these curious faces and announced in a low voice, "There seem to be two missing among us."
The entire open space was very quiet. After everyone realized what they meant, they looked at each other with a sense of disbelief.
"Ouch." Suddenly a faint voice came from the side, and the feminine man leaned against the wall and actually laughed.
Chapter completed!
