Chapter 94 (1/2)

Death came to knock on the door in the morning of the third day. Boss Wang fell on the table.

After getting up, they gathered in the hall for breakfast. The old lady with a wooden tray went in and out twice, filling a table full of eight immortals. Into the smell of firewood rice porridge, stacked in the basket of fried dough sticks. Round pancakes are sweet, and long ones are salty. There are half salted duck eggs beside the pickled melon, and the center part is yellow and oily.

Wen Lei is leaning on his chopsticks to face a table of breakfast, looking sick and wilting. He feels greasy and has no appetite. Wheat asked him whether to eat tofu brain, Wen Lei see bean curd brain is still fresh, then forced to nod for the difficulty.

When Wen Lei stirred the bean curd in the bowl with a spoon, a huge and strange dull sound suddenly sounded on the dining table. Everyone was startled. At the same time, Wen Lei felt something warm splashed on his face, neck and hands. It's not just liquid. There's something slippery and muddy that falls down your cheek. In his hands, he looked like a bowl of blood bean curd, and the thick plasma was mixed with pieces of bean curd.

People who responded in time looked at Wen Lei. Boss Wang, dressed in a bright red Mandarin coat, sat upright at the table, holding the bowl in the same posture. However, his whole head somehow cracked like a watermelon, and his broken skull was like petals of a cannibal flower, which was attached to his neck by his skin. bloodshed. The red and white brains of the brain soft collapse, along the edge of the broken bones ”patter” to the ground. In addition, the neck was strangely crooked and slightly sunken into the shoulders. The picture is bloody and frightening.

Rice porridge, fried dough sticks, pancakes From the point of view of the cantilever, half of the table was splashed with dark red blood and broken white brain kernel. The original fragrant food became nauseous.

The short scream of Jasper broke the silence of the room. She covered her mouth and twisted her face, her eyes wide open with fear.

Then, Mr. Wang's bloated body fell heavily on the table with a ”bang”. The rest of the brain pulps slide out, soaked in the fresh yellow and oily salted duck eggs.

From the point of view of the cantilever beam, a dozen people around the table stand up and disperse one after another, and the camera slows down. The clothes of various colors are like colorful petals, which spin and wither from the central position.

Half of the breakfast was eaten, and the people lost their appetite for the accident. Quiet mornings are noisy, whimpers and vomit come and go, and most people are seized by an unnamed fear.

Wen Lei was eager to wipe the blood stains on his cheek and body. When he met the sticky brain, he swore and hissed: ”what's the matter? What the hell is going on... ”

None of the remaining 10 or so players can make sense. In their opinion, the bloated middle-aged man was like a sudden explosion of himself, with no sign or hint.

Gu Meng squats in the corner, pours cold water fiercely, resists the tumbling in his stomach, and looks back at the bloody dining table and the headless corpse lying on it.

”Something to do with the ghost last night?” He then looked up to Enjin and asked.

Last night, they were awakened by the scream in the courtyard. When they came out, they found Wen Lei huddled in the corner of the yard with his head in his arms. Boss Wang was clubbed on the corridor and his eyes were staring at the jar of boiling water. Wen Lei, as if he had lost his heart, kept saying ”hair” and ”hair”. They searched around, but they didn't find any hair. After listening to boss Wang's description, I understood that it must have been a ghost.

Enjin sticks to a square handkerchief and covers her lips slightly. Her narrow eyes stare at the cracked head for a moment. After a long time, she says, ”it is impacted from the top of the head, and the skull is broken. The things that cause trouble don't show up The law of death is very evil. ” Then he lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Meng and answered his question, ”the ghost that Wen Lei ran into with him is still alive and kicking. There should be something else.”

”Hello! What do you mean Wen Lei cried with a pale face, ”if it's really because of last night's incident, does it mean that I'm the next one to blow my head?”

Bo Ye leaned against the mahogany post, lowered his head, and was wiping the blood stains on his trousers. He said faintly, ”it's really a blow in the head. Besides, it's no use worrying about it now.”

”I've been blown out of my head, and I've got it!” Wen Lei more and more collapsed, ”brother, you don't have to cherish your life!”

Taking the handkerchief in Bo Ye's hand, Tang Zhi helped him wipe the spot of blood stains, lowered his eyelids and calmly said, ”in theory, it's like this.”

Wen Lei:

It's toxic to my husband.

After holding up the pillar and spitting out all the bile, Peter Pan's face was pale and childish. The smell of blood in the room became more and more intense. He looked back at the hanging beam above the roof, and with the numbness of his scalp, he quickly looked at the corpse directly under his eyes. He said weakly, ”it must be the ghost of a woman. He didn't see anything falling down. His head split from the top, just like It's like... ”

The young boy's association ability has always been rich, after thinking for half a moment, he continued: ”it's like a walnut, crushed by the head.”

Gu Meng, en Jin, Bo Ye and Tang Zhi set their eyes on Pan Peter at the same time. Being embarrassed, Pan Peter scratched the back of his head, squatted down beside Gu Meng and gently arched him: ”brother, give me some water.”Gu Meng hands him the teapot.

EN Jin pondered for a while, put down the handkerchief to cover his lips and put it into the narrow cuff of cheongsam, and said, ”go, go to the river and have a look.”

Several people were about to leave when Gu Meng asked, ”boss Wang What should I do? It's in the front room? ”

As if in response to his words, the old woman in the cat face mask quietly appeared again.

They unconsciously stopped all activities and looked at the silent and strange old man. She stepped on her three inch feet and walked slowly to the table. Then she grabbed the back collar of her bright red Mandarin coat. Like withered tree skin, the green veins of the hands and claws are exposed, showing an amazing sense of strength. Holding his collar in one hand, the old man pulled the body of boss Wang down from the table and continued to walk out on his three inch feet, looking relaxed as if he had just dragged an empty sack behind him.

From the point of view of the suspension beam, a blood red mark with rough edge is dragged on the ground, which divides the hall into two symmetrical parts. It's like someone who sticks to a thick brush, dipped in vermilion pigment, and drags out ink on the paper skillfully.

Gu Meng avoids the bloodstain on the ground, then steps out of the threshold, and changes her eyes with the old lady's movement.

Instead of walking far away, the old lady threw the body directly into the cooking pot in the cloister. The boiling blisters immediately turned a large amount of blood. In a short time, a vat of water was dyed red, and the back of the red Mandarin coat was bulging and floating at the mouth of the jar. Strong smell of blood along the fog, pink water vapor spread out, faint can smell a wisp of meat.

Seeing this scene, Wen Lei thought that he had drunk the water in the jar last night. He could not help but cover his mouth and retch.

EN Jin pulled the coat and said in a low voice, ”let's go.”

On the way to the square yard, a group of people passed between the cloth and the dye vat. The dye in the VAT was colorful, including red, mugwort, bright yellow, navy blue The pigment is too thick to melt.

The morning sky was gloomy, like a sullen face.

Most female players in the morning by no small shock, are in the Ding family house rest. Wheat was afraid that the girls would not be able to protect themselves in case of danger, so he took the initiative to stay and take care of them. Only the girl named Mo Chunying followed. Wen Lei continued to stand on strange things, the whole person was so soft that he could hardly walk, so he naturally stayed in the house.

To the river, everything is like yesterday. Master crane face continued to play the spirit of Yugong moving mountains, full of mechanical indifference.

Gu Meng looked at the scales on the stake for the first time. After counting the marks from bottom to top, Gu Meng was surprised. In order to make sure there was no mistake, he counted them again from top to bottom, and then he said, ”ten marks.”

Tang Zhiyang raised his eyebrows and said, ”yesterday it was 11, today is 10, so The stake sank a space. ”

Gu Meng looks at the others and says, ”is it related to boss Wang's death?”

Bo Ye stood on the bank with his hands in his trousers pocket. He said thoughtfully, ”something that can produce strength Players are the things that generate strength. Although I don't know what the method is, maybe every time a player is removed, the stake will sink one space until finally... ”

Panpeter counted the numbers with his fingers and compared them with the scale marks on the stake, and his brain turned round. He looked at Bo Ye in disbelief and said, ”brother, isn't that Twelve players, only one player can live in the end? ”

Bo Ye didn't speak, but his eyes when he looked at the river explained everything.

For a time, the river bank was silent, except for the sound of pounding, and occasionally the wind of late autumn was blowing with the whistling sound. There are two bright yellow lanterns at the bottom of the water. They are shining brightly in the black water, and they swim around leisurely. ”

If the player is the driving force of the pile, the scale indicates that 11 players need to be sacrificed to let the stake sink into the river. A total of 12 players are involved in this instance, then the only survivor can leave the copy through the repaired wooden bridge.

It was clear to everyone that the escape needed all the lives. The living conditions look grim and brutal at this moment.

When everyone fell into thoughts, Enjin lifted her chin toward the top of the wooden pile, and said in a low soft voice, ”something has been pasted on it.”

”What?” Peter leaned his head out of the railing and looked up at the top of the stake with his toes.

Bo Ye directly snapped his finger to attract the attention of crane face master. He looked familiar and said, ”master, please take off the things on it.”

The crane face master stopped seriously, tore off the paper like thing on the top of the wooden pile, and handed it to Bo Ye through the barrier. His voice said slowly, ”it's almost used anyway. You can take it.”

When they got the thing, they took a close look. It turned out to be a white paper man.

”This is Boss Wang? ” Mo Chunying's sharp eyes immediately saw that the shape of the paper man was some special.

The paper man is very exquisite in cutting. It seems that he made it all at once with a pair of scissors. Slightly fat, it seems that the outline is covered with a long shirt. A peach point is drawn on the round head with pen and ink, and the following is the abstract eye, nose and mouth. The representative must be boss Wang.

”There's still hair on it.” Gu Meng points to a thick, short hair on the back of the paper and reminds him.Enjin knew that, drawing back her sight from the paper man, she threw herself at the stake again and said, ”magic.”

The others looked at him, waiting to hear the explanation.

”In the Hebrew Bible, there is a strong man named Samson. He once revealed to his mistress that if his hair was shaved off, his strength would run away and he would be as weak as an ordinary man. Later, Samson's enemies took advantage of this weakness to capture him EN Jin was fascinated by the wooden pile, and said to others, ”no matter in the east or the west, in many cultures, hair is often endowed with abstract meaning and becomes a symbol of one's strength and soul. Shifu's so-called things that can help generate strength are actually players' hair. ”

”Yes, teacher.” Bo Ye said, ”how can you understand everything?”

Enjin encircles arms to stand, way: ”read more, talk less Sao, you can also.”

Bo Ye glanced at him and said faintly: -- Would you like a fork? ”

But you've been ruined by the bulls.

Gu Meng thought for a moment and asked the crane face master, ”master, who gave you the paper man?”

”As soon as I came in the morning, I saw this piece of paper stuck here.” Crane face master swung his arm and turned his shoulder. His voice sounded more relaxed than the previous two days. ”I feel that I am in a very good condition today. Even I have more strength to work than usual.”

Master's words verified everyone's conjecture, it seems that the progress of bridge repair depends on the speed of player's death.

Peter Pan murmured in a low voice: ”boss Wang was actually blasted by a hammer It's like a stake. ”

Although we know the important clues, the mood of the people is more heavy than before. Most afraid of meeting this kind of life and death situation in which the whole staff can only survive one person.

Walking on the Qingshiban street, Bo Ye, holding Tang Zhi's hand, fell behind the crowd and chatted: ”candi, are you afraid?”

Tang Zhi looked down at the road under his feet, shook his head, and then nodded his head honestly. He gently shook the hands of the two people holding each other: ”although he has made an agreement that he will not leave each other behind, death is also a form of separation, or the one that is most powerless to change. Forever sink into the dark, no longer see like Bo Ye, just imagine will feel very sad... ”

With that, Tang Zhi raised his head and looked at the tall man beside him. His clear eyes were slightly bent, like a pool in spring. He said, ”I'm ready to live with you until I'm 100 years old. In case of any misfortune now, I always feel that life is too short, and the time I spend with you is even more short I'm afraid. Bo Ye, I want more and more. I don't want eternity, but I don't want to end like this. ”

Bo Ye looked at his sweetheart, which was almost lovely, and his heart was filled with soft emotions. ”It's going to be crazy...”

He didn't resist rubbing Tang Zhi's face and comforted him: ”so far, many clues have not been unfolded. There must be other ways to cross the bridge, which will not end like this.”

As if to reassure Tang Zhi, or to verify his conjecture, Bo ye called to the front, ”Mr. Gu.”

”Well?” Gu Meng looks back as she walks.

”Will there be an optimal solution this time?” Bo ye asked him with a chuckle.

Gu Meng's eyes drooped down and quickly lifted up again. Looking at Bo Ye and Tang Zhi in the rear, Gu Meng said as promised: ”yes.”

He turned back and looked ahead: ”I said there was, so don't worry.”

Half of breakfast was interrupted, and in the middle of the morning, although people had no appetite, their stomachs were actually hungry. When they went back, they were afraid of seeing blood, so they could not eat any more. So they found a place to eat at random two blocks away from Ding's house.

He had no money, so he could only brush his face. This kind of thing was left to the commander-in-chief Bi Boye.

Gu Meng and others are sitting at a simple table on the street, watching Bo Ye approach the woman wearing a snake face mask.

”There's something I wanted to say yesterday. I don't know if you found out...” Gu Meng looks around the bustling market. People walking on the street and sitting in the shop are wearing all kinds of masks. He says, ”there are no young girls in this ancient town.”

After he reminded, the others were stunned for a moment, and then looked at the pedestrians around.

Panpeter scratched the back of his head as he looked at it. He said, ”brother, don't say it. It's true. It looks like all men are at once.”

Although they all wear masks, they can't see their faces clearly, but their gender can be easily identified through clothing.

Mo Chunying could not help touching her face and said, ”from yesterday to today, it seems that I have never met this age.”

”Except for men, they are aunts and aunts.” EN Jin propped her head and lazily looked at the passers-by on the street and said, ”there is the old lady in Ding's house. There are really few big girls with fresh cucumber.” He turned to look forward, with a slight impatience in his soft voice, ”is Bo Ye OK? What are you talking about with Auntie? My kids are coming out. ”

Gu Meng looked at him and said, ”I'm afraid You can bear it. ”

As soon as he said this, Bo ye came with two bowls. He put a large porcelain bowl in front of Tang Zhi, one in front of himself, and sat down. Take out two spoons from the bamboo tube, take hot tea to flush, light way: ”Auntie only gave this.”People see, the bowl is filled with white flowers.
