Chapter 86 The Butcher
There was a cool breeze outside the window and a drizzle in front of the door.
It was late at night. Although Shen Lin and the others had completed the task, they didn't need to go back in the rain when they encountered such weather, so they prepared to spend the night here.
Arrange people to watch the night and ask them to cheer up and not relax their vigilance. Shin Lin teaches the reserve members survival skills little by little.
The bonfire was crackling, and Liu Xiu borrowed a kettle from Shen Lin and the others, stuffed a pair of potions into the kettle and put it on the bonfire. Now, although his improvement in taking medicine and practicing health care skills is relatively small, it has become a habit and will continue to maintain it.
"Young Master Liu, are you..." Seeing Liu Xiu boiling medicine, Shen Lin looked shocked. What medicine was being boiled? Liu Xiu didn't look like he was sick.
Liu Xiu said calmly: "This is nourishing."
"Oh..." Shen Lin nodded at Liu Xiu with a strange and thoughtful look on his face, and stopped without in-depth inquiry.
I slept with my clothes by the campfire, and I lived a very peaceful night. However, due to my posture, when I woke up the next morning, Liu Xiu moved slightly and crackled his body.
I won't have to grow, right? I'm 1.85 meters tall enough...
He said to himself that Liu Xiu did not disturb the others who were in a hurry and took the medicine outside to take it and practice health care skills to relieve his body.
The spring rain has stopped all night. After the new rain in the empty mountains, the morning air is particularly clear, with dew drops and morning breezes, and the sky is white. It seems that it is another good weather.
Shen Lin in the room was awakened by Liu Xiu's actions. Seeing that everyone around him was asleep, he cursed the young man and said that it was unreliable. He did not disturb them, and subconsciously looked up at Liu Xiu outside the door.
After a glance, Shen Lin quickly looked away. Although Liu Xiu did not avoid it, peeking at others to practice was a taboo, and Shen Lin would not make such a low-level mistake.
Liu Xiu did not care about Shen Lin's actions, and was silent on his own in the practice of health care. The purple light radiated in his eyes. With one breath and one breath, the red sun slowly rose in the sky, and purple clouds that were invisible to the naked eye came across the endless space and disappeared into his mouth and nose.
Liu Xiu himself didn't know about these things, and the old Taoist priest who taught him this kind of health care skills had never said it.
After several times of health care, the potion was completely absorbed. Liu Xiu stopped moving happily. There was a small puddle in the yard, and the water inside was very clear. He squatted beside him to wash.
At this time, everyone else woke up, and Shen Lin arranged for them to go hunting and cooking.
I don’t know where the poisonous lady’s body was taken away, and Liu Xiu didn’t ask. After eating with them, he said goodbye to each other. Shen Lin and the others were going back, and Liu Xiu had to continue the next journey.
"Boss, why do you feel uneasy? Is there something wrong with it?" On the way to Linjiang City, a reserve member looked at Shen Lin and asked curiously.
Shin Lin was stunned and shook his head and said, "No...it's okay."
Others looked at each other, and then some people frowned and silently said that they didn't think of women, right? Yes, it's been a long time since this...
"What are you thinking? I just feel that something has been ignored, but I can't remember it for a while." Shen Lin said angrily, shook his head and ignored them.
Some people disliked: "The Poisonous Lady is dead. I will give the villagers a single disaster. The mission is successfully completed. What's wrong with it?"
Speaking of the Poisonous Lady, Shen Lin suddenly thought of something in his mind, and subconsciously murmured: "Yes, it's Poisonous Lady. We have investigated her past. She was originally an ordinary farmer woman, who was abducted and trafficked into a brothel, and her mentality has been distorted from then on..."
"Yes, don't we all know these things, what's so strange about?"
After a pause, Shen Lin murmured: "The problem lies in this place. She was just a farmer woman, but where did she get the skills of using poison? It is impossible to get it by chance, but it doesn't make sense at the level of literacy. Besides, the content recorded in the book is too vicious and ordinary people cannot easily get it..."
Others looked at each other, but they didn't understand what nerves Shen Lin was experiencing.
Suddenly thinking about something, Shen Lin's face changed and said in a deep voice: "Go, go back, search around the temple, don't let go of any suspicious places!"
...
The unexpected encounter with Shen Lin and the others was just a small episode on Liu Xiu's journey. After leaving the temple, Liu Xiu stopped at a small hill more than 2,000 meters away from the temple, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
A few dozen meters ahead of him, that is, at a low point below the hill, there was a puddle about three meters long. But no matter how Liu Xiu looked at it, he felt that the puddle was like a footprint!
At this time, the puddle was filled with night rain, but you could clearly see a corpse in black in the water. To be more precise, the corpse was embedded on the ground at the bottom of the puddle.
He seemed to be stepped there by someone, his face was beyond recognition and no difference from a pool of meat mud, and he could not distinguish his true face.
The puddle is ten meters in radius, and the plants that were originally full of vitality have withered in spring. The closer they get to the puddle, the more severe they withered, as if they were 'glyphosate'.
Seeing the corpse in the puddle, Liu Xiu suddenly thought of the poisonous man mentioned in the book on Poison Lady!
"Would he have done it..." This scene reminded Liu Xiu of the bearded man who had been away for a while last night.
If it was really him, how did those footprints that were almost three meters long were formed?
The sky's feet are broken?
As her thoughts spread, Liu Xiu realized that it seemed that the poisonous lady was not like an ordinary bandit leader who had chance to get a chance. When she thought of this corpse, she looked more like a member of some evil organization!
Thoughts flashed, Liu Xiu stayed here for a short time and left. No matter whether he was a bearded man, no matter who he was or what his identity was, the matter was over. These were just an episode in the journey. It was so big that it was hard to say whether he could meet in the future. Why do you have so much trouble?
Shortly after Liu Xiu left here, a member of the Iron Armored Army reserve came here and quickly reminded others to arrive.
Standing dozens of meters away from the footprint-like puddle, Shen Lin's face suddenly looked ugly, and a deep fear and worry filled his mind.
"Head, what's going on?" A reserve member hesitated, and was really scared by the withering pictures of the withering trees around the puddle.
Shen Lin pointed to the other side and said, "Don't go over, it's very dangerous. Now I say, listen, go to two people, return to Linjiang City immediately, report the situation here to the city lord, and the others stay here with me, and no one is allowed to get close!"
"Head, what happened to be lost?" The reserve member was a little nervous by Shin Lin, and some people couldn't help asking.
Shin Lin frowned and said, "Don't ask so much, just do what I said."
The others looked at each other in surprise and quickly followed Shen Lin's instructions...
Hopefully it's not what I thought, otherwise the problem would be big. Also, was this poisonous man killed by the bearded man? Although he didn't know his specific identity, with his skills, he would appear here. Did he discover something?
Shin Lin murmured to himself, his mood became heavier, and the rising sun could not dispel the haze in his heart...
Half a day later, the city lord of Linjiang City, Xia Haitao, personally brought a team of iron armored troops here, and his sister Xia Haitang was accompanied by him. After seeing the body of the deceased, the two brothers and sisters all changed their faces and carefully asked about the story of Shen Lin.
After asking in detail, Xia Haitao said in a deep voice: "Go and buy a coffin, remember to buy another cowhide pocket, be careful to collect the body, and seal it. I have to take it back to the sect to report to the head!"
When people were busy, Xia Haitang asked Xia Haitao worriedly: "Brother, do you think the appearance of this poisonous man is really related to that rumor?"
"No matter whether it is, this matter must be reported to the sect for processing. If it is really related to that rumor, the problem will be big." Xia Haitao said with a ugly face.
Xia Haitang was silent when she heard this, and then her eyes flashed: "Brother, do you know who he is about that big beard? I have also seen the crushed stone slab. At least one thousand pounds of things will fall down and it will be like that!"
"There is only one person in my memory that fits the image of Shen Lin describing that person." Xia Haitao looked at the distance with admiration and yearning, and glanced at him, as if looking for the figure of that person.
Xia Haitang asked: "Who?"
"Butchman!" Xia Haitao gently spitted out these two words, with a very strong tone, as if it would take great courage to say those two words.
Xia Haitang was shocked and said in disbelief: "Brother, are you sure it's him?"
"I didn't see anyone, so I'm naturally not sure, but judging from Shen Lin's description, I really can't think of anyone else besides that person," Xia Haitao shook his head and said.
Xia Haitang took a deep breath and murmured: "If it were really a butcher, the situation would be serious. It is rumored that this person has unfathomable strength and is vague in his mind. He likes to 'kill pig' the most. In his opinion, anyone with a tendency to harm the people is a stupid pig. In places where there is a 'pig', eight or nine out of 10 have his figures, and it also shows in disguise that there must be potential major events in places where there is his existence!"
"So, I came here as soon as I learned about the matter here." Xia Haitao said in a heavy tone, not knowing what he was worried about.
Xia Haitang comforted him and said, "Brother, don't think so much. Even the butcher appears. If something happens, it's not something we can join. Let's see what the sect does next."
