"Do you think someone did it on purpose?" I looked at the four corpses hanging in the air.
"That's not it!" Wang Yixia said angrily, "We must have touched Cao Xianguan, I'm afraid some people are anxious!"
At this moment, one of his colleagues received a call, walked to the side and said something, then hurried back and said, "Brother Wang, the boss asked you to go to Laosong Reservoir!"
"What happened over there?" Wang Yixia frowned.
"That's right..." The colleague hesitated for a moment and said, "Two corpses were found in Laosong Reservoir. They should be Uncle Zhou and his wife."
"What?" Wang Yixia was shocked, turned around and was about to walk out, but his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
I grabbed him and said, "I'll go over with you and take a look."
"Okay!" Wang Yixia told two colleagues and asked them to stay here and watch.
After that, the two of us came out of the villa. Wang Yixia was injured and couldn't drive, so I called Tietou and sent us there.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Tietou."
"It's okay, it's okay, haha, what's the big deal!"
Tietou shook his head repeatedly, told us to sit still, and immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Laosong Reservoir.
When we got to the place, I asked Tietou to wait at the foot of the mountain, and then we went up the mountain with Wang Yixia.
At this time, the Laosong Reservoir was still blocked. As for the flying-headed tigers in the reservoir, they had been wiped out by the Ninth Bureau, and the lake was completely silent.
As we walked over, we saw three people guarding the old pine tree that was scorched by lightning.
On the way here, Wang Yixia had asked clearly that after the clearing of Laosong Reservoir, three people were left to guard the place.
Not long ago, another flying wolf suddenly appeared in the water, approached quietly, and almost bit off a person's neck.
Fortunately, another person happened to see him at that time and yelled, so he narrowly escaped death.
The three of them immediately gathered around and prepared to kill the fish that had slipped through the net. However, the flying wolf jumped into the lake and dived into the lake.
The three of them were all very good at water and immediately chased them into the lake.
But once in the water, the flying-headed wolf was like a fish in water. The three of them chased and intercepted them several times, but they all escaped.
After they had exhausted all their efforts and finally killed them, and when they returned to the shore to take a breath, they suddenly discovered that two people were nailed to the old pine that had been struck by lightning!
They recognized Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhang and quickly contacted Xing Feng.
Xing Feng was so worried that he couldn't get over for a while, so he asked Wang Yixia to come over first to deal with it.
After all, Wang Yixia was familiar with Laosong Reservoir and Uncle Zhou.
"This is Lin Shou, here to help." Wang Yixia introduced the three people.
The other party nodded to me, took us over and said, "Come and take a look."
I saw a man and a woman nailed to the old pine tree that was mostly burnt. Sure enough, they were Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhang.
The couple's bodies were covered with nails, their feet were off the ground, and they were nailed to the tree.
Judging from the nail that was pulled out, it was an iron nail about nine inches long. The black nail was engraved with an evil spell.
"We just counted, and each of us has ninety-nine nails!" someone said in a deep voice.
Ninety-nine roots...
So familiar.
This suddenly reminded me of what Liu Hao and Zhou Xiang had said ten years ago when they went to Fentou Ridge to open the coffin. Cao Xuerong had told them to take me back and nail me to the mulberry tree with ninety-nine nails.
If I hadn't escaped by pretending to be a corpse and accidentally made Yang Tianbao my scapegoat, would my fate have been the same as that of Uncle Zhou and his wife?
At a certain moment, I even had some doubts, could this be Cao Xuerong's handiwork?
"The old couple should have been dead when they were nailed up." Someone said in a deep voice, "And before they died, they suffered unimaginable torture. All the bones in their bodies were crushed, including their eyes and ears, which were all blinded and deafened. The tongue was also pulled out, it was pulled out forcibly!"
Wang Yixia and I checked it carefully, and it was exactly what he said.
Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhang were tortured and frightened before their deaths.
I didn't feel very good either.
It can also be said that the reason why Laosong Reservoir was destroyed was because of Uncle Zhou and several other fishermen.
Several other fishermen died on the spot in the reservoir. Only Uncle Zhou managed to escape because of his relationship with Lao Chang.
I was already worried at the time, so I asked the couple to find a place to hide quickly, but I didn't expect that they still couldn't escape.
In fact, these two couples are just an ordinary couple and pose no threat to anyone. The reason why the other party did this was to distract the energy of the ninth game and secondly to vent their anger.
The other party will never allow the prey he is targeting to escape from his grasp!
The person who tortured Zhou Shu and his wife to death was probably the person who tortured and killed Chang Sixi and Wang Jinbo. In all likelihood, it was the same person who tortured Yang Tianbao's sister Xiuyu to death.
"Bullshit!" Wang Yixia punched the tree hard.
It's just that his injury has not healed, and the punch was too hard, and he almost fell down.
After putting Uncle Zhou and his wife down, Wang Yixia and the others returned first, taking the couple's bodies and nearly two hundred nails.
I took Tietou's car and went back to Liuniantang.
On the way, I saw that Tietou was only concentrating on driving and didn't ask a word about why he came to Laosong Reservoir, so he casually asked, "Aren't you curious?"
"I'm just curious, but it's better not to know, because I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night." Tietou scratched his head and said with a smile.
I said, "That's not a problem. How about I tell you?"
"Isn't it scary?" Tietou asked hesitantly.
"It's okay." I said.
"Forget it, it's better that I don't know!" Tietou's expression changed drastically and he shook his head repeatedly.
I smiled and said, "Okay then."
Tietou quickly concentrated on driving without squinting, as if he was afraid that I would talk to him again.
When we returned to Liunian Hall, we found that the little girl Haitang was still waiting there.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" I asked her.
"I probably slept too much during the day. I'm not sleepy at all. If I can't fall asleep, I just read more." Haitang lowered his head and said.
I was amused for a while. She had slept somewhere during the day. She was just worried that we wouldn't sleep. I didn't expose her and said, "Since you're not sleepy, let's warm up the midnight snack and we can eat it together later."
"Okay!" Haitang immediately went away happily.
Before I could sit down and catch my breath, I received a call from Xing Feng.
He said two things.
Liu Wu and the four masters were found, and the five people were thrown beside a road at the foot of Qinglong Mountain.
The joints of the four masters' hands and feet were all crushed to pieces. Even if they were cured, they would be permanently disabled, and their minds were severely damaged. It's hard to say how they would recover after they woke up.
Fortunately, Liu Wu was lucky. He only had one of his legs broken by being trampled on, but it could still be cured. Although he was not fully awake yet, there was not much problem with his sanity.
In short, lives were saved.
