Ji Thrush was naturally very curious about the box under the coffin.
But after seeing the methods of the Holy Court Army, he didn't have the guts to go up and do it.
So Ji Xiaoniao called the second young master of the Dong family and asked his living corpse mercenaries to help.
No one would dislike the act of looting after a big battle. Dong Jing immediately called two zombies and asked them to unload the large and small boxes from the cart.
The coffin pivot that had carried the Pope's remains was lifted down by a zombie with one hand, and it was thrown aside like garbage, and the opening under it was fully exposed in front of everyone.
Two curious babies, Ji Thrush and Dong Jing, approached and studied head to head.
Compared with the gorgeous holy relic, the bottom box is too plain.
It is entirely made of cast iron.
A square piece of iron lump, without any carvings or characters on the surface, only a few three-inch square holes in the four corners, and several chains protruding from it.
"hiss!"
Ji Thrush and Dong Jing gasped together.
The chain protruding from the inside of the box was wrapped around the box like a python, like a rope binding luggage, and in the middle hung an iron lock as big as a fist.
There were still some deep and shallow stains on the chains, the dark ones were dried blood, and the light ones could be seen as human excrement.
Ji Xiaoniao swallowed, took a step back cowardly, and turned to look at Ren Damei, his family:
"This... Do you want to open it?"
Ren Jianmo also frowned, as if caught in a tangle.
After a while, he nodded slowly, "Open it."
So the second young master of the Dong family gave the two zombies an instruction.
Without the key, they were impatient to search for such a small thing on the corpse of the black-robed youth or the paladin, and simply let the living corpse make a violent breakthrough, smashing the lock on the surface of the iron box with a few clicks. head.
There was only a sound of "bang bang bang", the heavy cast iron lid rubbed against the chain, was lifted by two zombies, and slowly separated from the box body.
An indescribable stench rushed towards them, and Ji Thrush and Dong Jing bounced up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and retreated two meters. Even Ren Jianmo showed obvious disgust.
A woman is curled up in a box the size of a suitcase.
It was a snow-skinned red-haired European girl, wearing an invisible thin skirt, who had been in the box for an unknown amount of time, and was so thin that only a handful of bones remained.
Because Lazarus can only be dealt with in such a cramped sealed space, the smell is naturally extremely terrifying, completely beyond the limit that ordinary people can tolerate.
But despite her weakness, the girl was still alive.
The lid of the box was lifted suddenly, and the morning sun poured into the originally dark space. She seemed to resist for a moment, and instinctively raised her hand to cover her face.
This movement of the girl immediately caused a series of metal rubbing against each other.
Ji thrush involuntarily gasped again.
Because he saw that there was a wound the size of a coin on each of the girl's shoulders, and two chains passed through the two penetrating wounds, fixing her whole body to the bottom of the iron box.
—What kind of enmity is this
In the previous season, Xiaoniao had only seen the torture of "pipa bone piercing" in martial arts novels. At that time, he just made up his mind about the specific operation, and even shivered twice, faintly feeling the phantom limb pain.
He never imagined that one day, he would be able to witness with his own eyes how terrifying such inhuman operations are!
At this time, the girl with the lute bone pierced in the box slowly turned her head, revealing a palm-sized face in the messy red curly hair.
To be honest, Ji Thrush was very shocked when he saw this face for the first time.
Because the girl is too thin.
Her cheeks are sunken, her cheekbones are protruding, the tip of her nose is small and upturned, her lips are bloodless, and almost only a pair of disproportionately large blue eyes can be seen on her entire face.
But the girl's pupils are extremely bright.
Even after being locked in the iron box for an unknown amount of time, even the simple movement of turning her head was extremely strenuous, but her eyes still seemed to be burning with two clusters of blue flames, which were shockingly bright.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Thrush saw the girl's lips move.
She was too weak to make a sound.
But Ji Xiaoniao still distinguished those two syllables from her mouth shape.
—Help me.
&&& &&& &&&
On the matter of how to deal with the woman in the box, Ji Thrush, Ren Jianmo and Dong's master and servant had a brief disagreement.
For the natives of this "world", whether it is the paladin chasing him or the red-haired girl in the box, they are all invaders from Xiyi. Master Dong Er thinks that killing this woman with one knife is the biggest Pity, there is no need to waste time on her.
But Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo have different views.
Only relying on the background given by "Peach Blossom Spring" and the information they got from Dong's family master's servants, they still know too little about the Holy Court.
Both Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo felt that they needed more information channels, and there was no quicker way to obtain information than directly from within the Holy Court Army.
After Dong Ershao finished listening, his delicate and pretty face stretched out, and his expression was as unhappy as he wanted.
"What if this woman doesn't tell the truth?"
He immediately countered.
This doubt is reasonable, so Ren Jianmo showed a little bit of the mental control power of "God said there must be light", and let the young Dong Jing experience for himself the feeling of having nothing to hide in his heart and having to tell the truth, Convenience had no choice but to nod resentfully.
So Ji Thrush and his party were delayed for another hour in the barracks.
The second young master of the Dong family sent his living corpse to cut off the chain, released the red-haired girl from the box, and sent her to the barracks to be scrubbed and changed into clean clothes.
Then Ji Thrush took out the good wound medicine in his storage ring, and bandaged the piercing wounds on the girl's shoulders.
Before entering this "world", the younger brother of the Fan family specially gave Ji Xiaoniao some special training in surgical knowledge, so at this time he treated the girl in a decent way.
But according to his observation, during this process, the red-haired girl was unbelievably calm.
Whether it was being washed and changed by two living corpses, or exposing the wound on her upper body in front of the young opposite sex, or even applying disinfectant directly to the wound, the girl just bowed her head and endured it silently, as obediently as a doll.
After Ji Thrush bandaged the girl's wound and administered anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs to her, the group of people continued to set off.
Although this group of zombie mercenaries is very useful, more than two hundred people are too many, and it is impossible for them to take them all away.
So Dong Jing carefully selected ten clean-looking zombies, which can be regarded as supplementing the team's manpower.
The girl was locked in the box for an unknown amount of time, and her shoulders were seriously injured, let alone walking, she couldn't even sit up.
Fortunately, the living corpses are extremely powerful. Carrying a woman who is so thin that only a few bones remain is no different from carrying a ball of air, and it does not delay the speed of the team at all.
According to the original plan, Ji Thrush and others followed the trend of the hills, picked out the sparsely populated countryside, and continued to Lishan.
The red-haired girl was nestled on the back of a zombie. At first, she fell asleep drowsily with her eyes closed because of her injuries and fatigue. Later, under the action of the wound medicine, the pain was relieved and she regained some energy. Opening her eyes, she asked softly for some food.
It was already noon at this time, and more than six hours had passed since the interception at dawn.
The few people stayed up all night to attack the camp, and they were a little tired at the moment, so they simply found a clearing in the forest and stopped to refresh.
The red-haired girl had already washed and changed into fresh and clean clothes, but she was not as embarrassed as she had seen at the beginning.
It's just that she is too thin, and her skinny face still has nothing to do with the word "beautiful". It can only be seen that she is really young, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Apparently, the girl had a very strong desire to survive, so she endured the pain of the wound, holding a piece of white bread in both hands and eating hard.
Ji Thrush noticed that the girl must be extremely hungry, and she seemed to have never eaten such a soft and sweet white bread. When she took the first bite, she showed a dazed expression, and then gnawed and chewed, and then Almost choking himself to death, he began to gobble it up.
Probably the girl's eating was so fierce that everyone stopped their lunch and focused all their attention on her.
After the red-haired girl finished eating one piece of bread, she raised her head to look at it, smiled shyly at the crowd, and unceremoniously picked up the second one, opened it and put it in her mouth.
Dong Jing was irritated by the girl's behavior that she only knew how to eat and drink, so she couldn't help jumping up, stretched out her finger, and poked viciously at the tip of the other's nose:
"Say, who are you!? Why are you in that box!?"
He raised his voice and said:
"Also, none of you Xiyi people is a good thing. You came all the way to our place to play wild, how can you still have the face to eat our food and drink our food—"
The second half of the sentence that the second young master of the Dong family hadn't finished swearing got stuck in his throat.
He met the amazingly bright blue eyes of the red-haired girl.
Young Master Dong, who was never afraid of anything, felt his heart suddenly shrink in the girl's eyes, and even the hair on the back of his neck stood on end.
Those blue eyes contained too many emotions, definitely not the look that any innocent girl of fifteen or sixteen years old should have.
If I had to describe it, it seemed that only an evil ghost crawled out of hell would have the extreme resentment towards something and a strong attachment to survival.
The red-haired girl stopped chewing bread.
She opened her mouth and said a few syllables.
Dong Jing: "???"
He didn't understand Spanish, not at all, so he could only look at Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo blankly.
However, in the next second, there were multiple sounds of flapping wings in the sky.
The second young master of the Dong family was shocked, and quickly raised his head to see a large group of ravens gathering from nowhere, lingering above their heads.
Dong Jing: "!!!"
He was shocked and jumped up with a "shua".
"It turns out, it turns out that these crows were recruited by you!!"
