It's getting light outside.
Lot was still holding the head of the ghost-faced monkey in his hand, and he looked at Su Ziyu with an unfriendly look. Just when a group of people was about to return along the original road, a rustling sound suddenly came from the surrounding lush jungle. The one-eyed man walking at the front of the group waved his hand to signal the others to stop, and said in a deep voice Said: "Something is wrong. Be careful!"
The words just fell.
Two black shadows jumped out from the shadows. One black shadow pounced on the one-eyed man in the lead, while the other black shadow pounced on Lot, who was holding the head of the ghost-faced monkey.
There seemed to be a scream from the one-eyed man, and Lot's reaction speed was also very fast. Facing the sudden black shadow, he even used a donkey roll to avoid the attack, but standing like this Lina behind him was exposed to the enemy. All this happened very quickly, and Lina seemed a little unable to react. Su Ziyu, who was one step behind her, almost didn't even think about it, and just pulled her back to hide. Because the force was too much, both of them fell. fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards there was a messy sound, and from time to time the screams of other people were heard, and a splash of blood even splashed on Su Ziyu's arm.
"Thank you." Linna came to her senses and stretched out her hand to pull Su Ziyu up, then pulled out the weapon from her waist.
Two larger ghost-faced monkeys were running rampant among the crowd, with a trace of madness on their ferocious faces. The speed of the explosion was very alarming. Two people were already lying on the ground ten meters away from Su Ziyu, almost unsure of life or death. Farther away, there was a man whose entire face was scratched, and a broken eyeball was hanging outside the bloody eye socket. It seemed that at that moment, the one-eyed man suddenly used a person next to him as a human shield. Everyone present reacted very quickly. Facing the seemingly crazy ghost-faced monkeys, they were slashed with swords and soon they were cut into pieces.
The battle was over in less than three minutes.
Two ghost-faced monkeys were hacked to death, three of the group died, and six or seven people were injured. Everyone's face looked a little ugly, and they looked like they were frightened.
Su Ziyu was not injured because he fell behind the team. He was just startled by the sudden battle.
There was a whimpering sound all around. The one-eyed man's face was livid, and his expression seemed to be a little frightened, as if he heard some strange noise. He didn't even intend to clean up the corpse of his companion, and just told the others to leave quickly. Su Ziyu followed the others all the way back. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt as if a pair of eyes were secretly watching them all the way. It wasn't until they returned to the village that the others breathed a sigh of relief. Linna took the head of the ghost-faced monkey to see Ken. The injured people also went to deal with their wounds. Su Ziyu returned to his residence, and he took a look before leaving. The one-eyed man always felt that his expression was a bit strange when he came back, and his face could be said to be quite ugly.
Dinner was delivered by Lina.
She seemed to have a better attitude towards Su Ziyu. Two fat sheep were slaughtered in the village tonight, and she sent over a roasted leg of lamb.
So delicious!
Su Ziyu hasn't had a decent piece of meat for almost half a month.
In the first world, he was hungry for three whole days. Before he was caught by the snake people, he ate a scorpion, but the raw scorpion was really unpalatable. The snake people treated him completely as a slave and gave him food. It's also similar to pig food. It wasn't until he met Linna that he ate what a person should eat, but there was no oil or water. The leg of lamb today can be said to be the most delicious leg of lamb he has ever eaten in his life.
He missed the Sichuan style Sheep Hotpot a little bit.
As a modern person, he really doesn't adapt to this era. He doesn't even have paper to wipe his butt. Every time he relieves himself, he has to find leaves by himself. He really doesn't know why the protagonists in the ancient time-traveling movies and TV series he watched before do so. So happy.
The food was poor, the clothing was poor, and daily necessities were extremely scarce.
You have to use tree branches to brush your teeth in the morning, and there are aboriginal people nearby who look at you in surprise at what you are doing. All his living habits are incompatible with this era, but fortunately, Ken seems to have recognized that he is from a noble family, so he just thinks that Su Ziyu is more particular than others.
A night of silence.
When Su Ziyu woke up the next day, what he saw was Lina's pale and pretty face. Her expression seemed to be a little scared. She pulled Su Ziyu and walked outside.
The village was eerily quiet.
Linna took him to a place that was suspected to be a blacksmith's shop. There were already many people inside, and there was a smell of blood. Ken stood at the door with an ugly face. Su Ziyu took a look and saw the man from yesterday. The one-eyed man died on the wall in a strange posture, as if he were a special statue. The human skin on his face had been peeled off, revealing dark red facial muscles, and his only eye had been gouged out. It came out, revealing a bloody empty eye socket, a cut was made on the forehead, and the eyeball from the evil god statue was perfectly set on it. The one-eyed man must have been dead for some time. The body was already a little blue, with dark blue blood vessels exposed under the skin. There were many bloody scratches on the surface of the body, but they looked like he had scratched them himself.
"No one has been in there. He dug out his own eyes."
The atmosphere in front of her was a bit scary. Linna even grabbed Su Ziyu's clothes nervously. The others were silent, but their expressions were a little scared.
There aren't many things in the blacksmith shop.
But Su Ziyu saw some special instruments of torture, some of which seemed to have been used on one-eyed men. No one heard any unusual noises last night. It was unimaginable that a man who dug out his own eyes would not make any noise. screams, and how he nailed himself to the wall after gouging out his eyes. Looking at the gruesome corpse, the one-eyed man must have been in great pain before he died. There were signs of a violent struggle in the house, but no one noticed it last night.
"Have you found his eyes?" Ken said with an ugly expression.
"No." The person next to him shook his head.
There was no sign that anyone else had entered the house, but the one-eyed man's own eyes were missing.
There was a bit of panic in the village for the whole day. Ken Ken had people hurriedly bury the body of the one-eyed man, and also ordered others not to leave the village for the time being and not to criticize the matter in private. The body of the one-eyed man was buried by Lott. He seemed to be Lott's uncle, and Lina seemed to be Lott's cousin. Everyone in the village had some kinship.
The death of the one-eyed man was really weird.
Everyone who had entered the cave that day and seen the statue of the evil god was a little panicked, because the way the one-eyed man died inevitably made people think of the statue of the evil god. Privately, they didn’t know what they were talking about, because they were foreigners and aborigines. They almost didn't talk to Su Ziyu.
Ken took a few people out during the day and didn't come back until night.
Linna stayed next to Su Ziyu all day, her expression was not very good, and she would be in a daze from time to time. To be honest, Su Ziyu was a little scared in his heart, because the way the one-eyed man died inevitably made people think of supernatural events. This was a situation that he could not cope with at all.
But fortunately, he faced life and death more times during this period, and he didn't feel very panicked. At least his thinking was still clear.
Su Ziyu was also the first person to realize that Lot and the others were missing.
The second person to realize this was Ken, who came back in the evening. He asked Lot to take people to bury the one-eyed man's body, but he didn't see anyone coming back until dark.
Under night.
There seemed to be a great fear that enveloped the entire village. Ken led people to search for traces of Lot and others around the village, but they completely disappeared, including the body of the one-eyed man. There was only an empty grave pit over there with some bloodstains scattered around it. They seemed to have been here, but the people were gone.
This night everyone felt uneasy.
Su Ziyu placed the black short blade beside the bed within easy reach. He hardly fell asleep all night, but was in a state of half-dream and half-awake.
