Jiang Xiaoli hesitated and wanted to go over to see what the holy water was, but it was too abnormal for her to squeeze past those people. She had no choice but to look at Li Hongying, wanting to ask if she could sense the smell of the water, and saw Li Hongying's serious face: "Human blood."
"... huh?" Are you kidding me? Jiang Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, and walked over with big strides, just in time to see the woman carefully bring the cup to the unconscious young man's mouth, open her mouth and send the liquid in little by little. What was accidentally spilled turned out to be the same color as blood.
"You... what is this holy water?" Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help asking when he saw how relieved these people were.
The man who came back with the boy on his back frowned, glanced at Jiang Xiaoli and Li Hongying, turned his head and said something to the person next to him, and the person next to him replied: "They saved A Niu, they are benefactors. A Niu brought them here We had a meal together."
The man calmed down a little before he said, "It's holy water, it can heal wounds."
"But why is it this color?" Jiang Xiaoli did not give up, but continued to ask.
"The color is whatever color is bestowed by the gods. If it wasn't for the holy water, how could it have the healing effect? Why do you ask so much, a stranger?" The man looked impatient, and waved his hand like chasing flies, " It's okay, get out of here quickly."
Jiang Xiaoli lowered her face, suppressing her anger.
The young man rescued by Jiang Xiaoli next to him couldn't help explaining: "The boss has such a temper, and he has no bad intentions. Since his wife disappeared, he has become like this. He doesn't like us to be curious about gods on weekdays." Thing, don’t take it to heart... Well, do you want to eat something else? I’ll pack it for you... "
"No, thank you." Jiang Xiaoli thanked her, her gaze stayed on the iron cup for a moment, and she was about to leave while pulling Li Hongying. There was no point in staying here, and besides, she didn't want to conflict with so many ordinary people. As for the boss's secret about the gods? Jiang Xiaoli also has a way to know.
It wasn't until Jiang Xiaoli and Li Hongying disappeared from sight that the boss slapped the rescued young man on the head: "How many times have I said that! Stop talking about gods to others!"
"But that's a benefactor... and it's not something shameful to be blessed by the gods..."
"Don't tell me if you tell me! God doesn't like being known about her existence!"
"… All right."
…
Jiang Xiaoli and Li Hongying stopped by the side of the road, she leaned lazily on Li Hongying, and analyzed: "The holy water is human blood, and the gods may be evil spirits that can refine people into various healing things? This person may be that Help people sacrifice to evil spirits, and then exchange for blood that can heal wounds."
"But...if that's the case, why did they let us go? Because we saved them? But some of them are very proud of being blessed by the gods...so these ordinary people don't all know what the gods are." Think, maybe it makes sense. The boss would not detain them in front of everyone, after all, they had saved the people in the base. Jiang Xiaoli felt that she had guessed right out of ten, so she clapped her hands and said, "It's decided, I want to kill that evil spirit!"
She thought that evil spirits and the like were sealed by the game, but she didn't expect such a thing to appear in the real world. They happened to be wiped out together, let's see if the real evil spirits are as powerful as the ones in the game.
Li Hongying smiled. Since she was looking for that kind of thing, and Jiang Xiaoli didn't have a compass or other props, she naturally had to sense this matter. Li Hongying released Yin Qi and looked around, the bloodshot eyes spread out to see that the "base" was surrounded, and she felt seriously...
Time passed by, Jiang Xiaoli touched Li Hongying's slender waist and waited very bored, and saw those bloodshots recovered little by little: "Found it?"
"...I didn't feel the existence of evil spirits." Li Hongying was a little frustrated. Could it be that evil spirits are not near the base? But she also sensed it in other places for a while, but she didn't feel it. She even sensed the little ghosts nearby, and the evil energy emitted made them tremble in fright, but she didn't feel any energy from the evil spirits.
Seeing Li Hongying's dejected look, Jiang Xiaoli put his head in her arms and hugged her, comforting her: "It's all right, we can quietly follow the boss." Anyway, the boss looks like an ordinary person.
So for the next two days, Jiang Xiaoli and Li Hongying kept their eyes on the "boss". The strange thing is that this person didn't go to any remote and strange places at all. Every day, he either went out with the young people in the base to clean up ghosts and search for food, or he was alone in the house in a daze.
After observation, they found that the "boss" was a little withdrawn, but after listening to the chats of other people, they learned that this withdrawn was because his wife had disappeared. After the loss of a loved one, the person is completely changed.
Another point is that he eats a lot. Every time I eat, I bring food into the house to eat. His residence is on the first floor, perhaps for the convenience of going out. Jiang Xiaoli and Li Hongying also sneaked into his house to search while he was away, but found nothing unusual.
From "suspecting the bewitching of evil spirits" to thinking of "feeding the medicine man", Jiang Xiaoli only needs to see that the man obviously did not leave the house, but in the middle of the night he handed over the iron cup filled with blood to the woman next door for safekeeping.
She looked at the blood on the man's mouth through the night, and quietly peeped under the window with Li Hongying to look in. It was already late at night, and everyone else was asleep. In addition, it is the first floor, so Jiang Xiaoli can see the situation inside the house from the window.
A simple candle was lit, and there was a smell of blood in the air. Under the flickering candlelight, Jiang Xiaoli watched the man sitting at the dining table, using a knife to cut off a piece of meat, and then using a fork to chew it in his mouth, with a look of enjoyment.
The smell of blood in the air is the smell of human blood. So that meat...
Jiang Xiaoli just felt extremely disgusted. Somewhat unbearable, she directly put her hand on the anti-theft net outside the bed, and the anti-theft net disappeared when the engine was reversed, and then the window—from peeking outside to turning into the house, silently.
"Help me restrain him, don't let him make a sound." Jiang Xiaoli originally wanted to bump into Luo Mingjie's characteristic of doing miracles vigorously and slap him unconscious, but then she thought that if it was really a medicine man, she didn't know the medicine man Somewhere, the cooperation of this person is still needed. It's not good to be knocked out, and the force... Jiang Xiaoli is useless, it's really hard to control, I'm afraid that a slap will be like slapping a watermelon.
Li Hongying nodded her head, bloodshots spread out in an instant, and when the man was concentrating on eating delicious food, he suddenly entangled him completely. His hands and feet were bound, and there was a thread of blood tightening in his throat, which made the man's eyes hard to breathe, let alone make a sound.
"Don't make a sound, or you will die as many people as you attract, you understand." Jiang Xiaoli raised her hand and waved in front of the man's eyes. After warning in a low voice, Li Hongying let Li Hongying loosen the blood from the man's neck.
"Cough, cough cough...you, who are you?" The man coughed twice, deliberately lowering his voice, obviously not wanting others to find out. He looked extremely ugly and asked.
"See the situation clearly, I will ask you to answer." Jiang Xiaoli sneered, pointing to the meat on the table: "Where is this person?"
"How do you know?!—" The man couldn't believe it, and then he gritted his teeth: "She won't go with you, she belongs to me! It belongs to me alone!"
"Okay, then if you die, she will be mine alone." Jiang Xiaoli sneered: "Kill you, and then slaughter everyone in this base. If you press them one by one, someone will know where she is."
"Heh, heh, you are a little girl..."
"Li Hongying." Jiang Xiaoli waved his hand, gave Li Hongying a look, and smiled at the man: "I'm not a little girl, look at these bloodshots, it looks like human handwriting? You don't want to touch the ghost in red?" Can't you recognize them?"
tick.
Thick blood dripped on the man's face, and from the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the bloody gown of the woman next to him, his face turned pale as paper, and his voice trembled: "No! Don't, I said, I said... for you, all for you, you I can eat her, I'm just an ordinary person, she's the real sweetheart! Right here, right underground... I dug a secret room under the closet in the bedroom, and she was locked in the secret room by me... "
After getting the information, Jiang Xiaoli gave Li Hongying a look. Li Hongying directly knocked the man unconscious. They walked into the bedroom and opened the door of the closet. There were not many clothes in the closet. Jiang Xiaoli groped at the bottom of the closet and removed a simple wooden cover. Sure enough, she found a ladder and burning candles.
As soon as the lid was lifted, the unpleasant smell of blood, rotten meat, and the stench of feces and urine mixed with sour smell rushed up, which almost made Jiang Xiaoli unstoppable.
Gritting her teeth, she climbed down anyway. There were traces of old and new blood mixed together on the ladder, probably the blood that fell from the man when he climbed up and down. As soon as Jiang Xiaoli came to the secret room, she saw the so-called "medicine man".
It was a girl in her twenties, her face was pale and bloodless, her eyes were half-closed, and she was completely naked. There were not many blood stains on the upper body, only the wrists were bloody and bloody, with criss-crossing scars, new and old mixed together, and there was no good place for both hands and wrists. As for the lower body, from the ankle to the calf, it is still fine, but the thigh is... bloody. The thighs on both sides had been cut, and the blood dripped down. Two iron cans were placed on the ground to catch the blood. New flesh seemed to have begun to grow on the pale bones, Jiang Xiaoli saw this and thought of the meat that man ate just now—vomit.
Shocked by the scene in front of him, Jiang Xiaoli's mind went blank for a moment. And at this moment, the extremely weak woman seemed to wake up, and she obviously also noticed Jiang Xiaoli: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't let him...find out..." Urged eagerly, but it was all breathless.
"...It's okay, I will save you." Jiang Xiaoli calmed down and said seriously. She looked at the woman who was hung up and tied to the wood, and if it was obvious that her legs couldn't walk, she had to walk on her back. However, Jiang Xiaoli was really not reconciled to just taking people away like this. As long as she thought of the "gods" and "holy water" believed by the ordinary people in the base, she felt extremely ironic.
The author has something to say: Medicine Man: In some cases, he is born, and in others, he is raised with a lot of expensive medicines. In the end, his flesh and blood can cure all kinds of diseases, and all kinds of poisons are invulnerable.
It's almost the meaning of Tang monk meat.
