Chapter 4 004: The nail in the coffin of theology
“Why are you the only one keeping vigil?”
The official leader came back from an inspection and found that one of his subordinates standing guard at night was missing.
"He, there is a female prisoner looking for him, and he is in Wenrou Village at the moment."
The subordinate pointed in the direction of Xiaopo and winked to his boss.
This kind of thing is not uncommon on the distribution road.
If a prisoner wants to suffer less, he must either have someone named to take care of him, or a relative to give him money. If he doesn't have either, he can only use his body as capital to bribe officials.
Gong's family was confiscated and his former colleagues and disciples were unable to protect themselves. How could they have the energy to take care of them?
The female prisoner has only one way left.
How about this being a good job?
Naturally, the official leader also knows this unspoken rule.
“How long has he been gone?”
“Only a while.”
“Humph, AWOL!”
“However, with that kid It’s almost time to finish. He’s fast and won’t take much time.”
Hearing this, the officer leader moved his lips, as if he wanted to laugh but held it back, pretending to be serious.
"Tell him when he comes back - keep vigil for another hour!"
As a result, no one came back after waiting for a while.
Is it possible that that boy really got some useful folk remedies from somewhere to cure his hidden illness?
The officer couldn't sit still. Seeing the prisoners sleeping like dead pigs one by one, he was not afraid that they would take the opportunity to escape, so he quietly got up and followed Shen Tang and the others in their direction.
Listen to the news, if they are almost finished, I can just go up and take a shift.
Until he approached Xiaopo, he had a vague premonition of something ominous.
The movement here is so abnormal!
There is neither a breath that warms the ears nor a beat that excites the spirit. There is just a noisy ensemble of insects and the night wind blowing the weeds.
"Old Zhou? Old Zhou, are you——"
He suppressed his uneasiness, stepped forward quickly and pushed aside the thick weeds, calling his colleagues' names.
Soon the sound stopped suddenly.
He looked down at the thing he stepped on -
An arm!
In the dim night, he barely recognized that the male corpse with a strangely twisted neck was the "Old Zhou" he called him!
"Dead, dead!"
His scream attracted the chief official.
The person was completely dead, but the body was as warm and soft as a living person, not much colder, which showed that he died not long ago.
The official officer leader checked the broken neck and wrist again. The traces showed that someone had pinched them instantly. His finger strength and hand strength were extremely terrifying. However, the body showed traces of martial arts but was taken away without even a decent resistance. The murderer's strength must be higher than that of a low-ranking official.
“Where is the female prisoner? Her body was found?”
Seeing the corpses being searched cleanly, what did the official officer think of?
The subordinate replied: "No, I didn't find her, only Lao Zhou."
The official leader: "..."
The person died and the female prisoner disappeared?
Is someone kidnapping a prisoner?
His face turned dark when he came up with this guess.
"Go back and keep an eye on those prisoners! If there is anyone suspicious, kill them directly!"
"Yes!"
The official leader followed Shen Tang and stayed I followed the trail all the way, and soon I saw a blurry figure running in the dark night.
He picked up his bow and arrow without hesitation.
The arrow left the string and shot towards Shen Tang's vest.
There is no suspense in killing a female prisoner with this arrow.
Unexpectedly, the female prisoner seemed to have eyes on her back. Just when the arrow was about to hit, she rolled to the right and narrowly avoided it.
“I didn’t expect that a fish like you would slip through the net!” He drove the horse over Shen Tang’s head, tightened the reins, and stood firmly with the horse’s hooves, blocking her way, he said coldly, “ Taking advantage of the male and female relatives, he infiltrated the female prisoners and took the opportunity to escape. Thief Gong had a good plan! "The male Gong family prisoners who had their homes confiscated were all dismissed from the Dan Mansion regardless of their age.
Firstly, it prevents prisoners from being able to escape, and secondly, it prevents them from seeking revenge in the future.
The prisoner in front of him is alone and has no manpower to respond. It should be "Shen Tang" who used the color as a bait to lure the prisoner out, and then took advantage of his mental relaxation to attack and kill him secretly.
No matter how relaxed the Moliu Gongzi is, a female prostitute cannot kill him in an instant. Looking at the wounds, we can conclude that this person must have a literary heart or a bravery.
It is known that women cannot exist, so the "female prisoner" in front of us is naturally a man.
For a male prisoner who has infiltrated the ranks of female prisoners for such a long time without being discovered, no need to guess, it must be the Gong family prisoners who shielded each other and protected "him".
In summary, it can be seen that this person has a very important position and weight in the Gong family. Such an important fish slipped through the net and escaped. How could he go back and deliver the work?
In the blink of an eye, I came up with a logical conjecture.
Shen Tang got up from the ground.
Putting out a sigh, he spat out the sand stuck to the corner of his mouth.
I happened to hear what the official leader said.
What does it mean that she took advantage of the appearance of a boy and a girl?
You still call her "Gong Thief"?
Don’t bully her because she has no memory right now, just add a character to her casually!
"Oh, what do you want?"
After Shen Tang finished speaking, she accidentally pulled the injury on her cheek, and the fine stinging pain made her gasp - she had been too hasty to avoid it, His cheeks were so painful from the gravel on the ground that they were burning, and he could tell he was bleeding without touching them with his hands - his eyes were always locked on the enemy.
"Go back with me and save your life."
Shen Tang was amused by these words: "Save my life? I think you are talking bullshit!"
Change It's pretty ugly, but it's pretty when you think about it!
“Since we can’t reach an agreement, then——” The official leader did not get angry, but concentrated his energy, with a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, “gun, sword, sword, halberd, bow, crossbow, spear—kill!”
Shen Tang: "...Huh?"
What's the meaning?
What the hell is Leng Buding reading?
As soon as the question popped into my mind, the next second I saw the long bow in the hand of the official leader turning into a cross halberd.
The halberd was nearly one foot away, and the cold tip of the spear was piercing her face, showing no sense of martial ethics.
Shen Tang was startled by this turn of events. He tilted his head and leaned back, avoiding the fatal blow.
A weapon is every inch longer and every inch stronger.
The strange halberd nearly ten feet long was in the hands of the official leader, and was danced so that the spear shadow was dense and watertight, either horizontally or stabbing, as if commanded by his arms, but Shen Tang was using his bare hands.
According to this situation, let alone running for your life, you are basically a living target for others, and you will die from exhaustion.
As for the setting of conjuring weapons after reading a few sentences, thus nailing science in the coffin——
She knows how the horse under this guy's crotch came to be.
Can the world get any more unscientific? ? ?
Poof!
The tip of the halberd grazed her left arm and penetrated into the soil, making her scalp numb. If she had reacted any slower just now, this direct blow would have definitely stabbed her through the heart!
"Spears, swords, halberds, bows and crossbows..."
Her life hangs on a thread, and she dodges while treating the dead horse as a living horse doctor to see if she can conjure a weapon - although in this world Women cannot develop martial arts skills, so why can't she be an exception? As a time traveler, when encountering the beginning of hell, the basic guarantee should be given to her, right?
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a halberd stabbing him.
The official leader mocked: "You ants, you are overestimating your capabilities!"
Shen Tang: "..."
In my memory, it seems that no one except the editor can Make her so frustrated! When the halberd struck again, she grabbed the tip of the spear with her bare hands in anger and pulled it angrily.
“Enough!”
Nameless rage boiled and burned in his chest, flipping a piece of text that suddenly appeared back and forth.
Her intuition told her that this passage might be the key to breaking the situation. The content is like this——
[Mother's sword in her hands...]
Please recommend it.
