Chapter 221 A Trivial Difference
After figuring out the specific experience of his favor during the separation period, Chen Ziyan once again turned his attention to the prisoners.
Because he was worried about what happened to Chen Ziyan just now, Wang Kaixuan actively took over Wushuanggui's job. At this time, the ropes binding the prisoners were already in his hands.
Others stood aside with weapons in hand, watching these people vigilantly to prevent them from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
Although these people are mentally depressed and weak, they will not despise each other because of this.
Although I have never experienced it personally, I have heard many stories about boats capsizing in the sewer.
But this also meant that they had no time to pay attention to Chen Ziyan. In addition, Chen Ziyan’s voice was very low, so except for Shirley Yang who was closest to him, no one else heard him at all. say.
Shirley Yang faced the prisoners, but out of the corner of her eye, she kept peeking at Chen Ziyan and the lazy little fairy girl in his arms. She felt that this person really became more and more mysterious the more she came into contact with him.
However, she wisely kept all her doubts in her heart and had no intention of asking.
She knew the extent of her relationship with the other person, and she didn’t think that if she asked, the other person would answer truthfully, and she would just pretend to be perfunctory and not listen.
Chen Ziyan didn't know that his actions had inadvertently deepened Shirley Yang's curiosity about him. He was now thinking in his mind as to why he should open the stone coffin.
Through the reactions of Hu Bayi and the others just now, he knew that these people were very afraid of Shi Cun and did not want to act too arbitrary, so he needed a good reason to convince them. .
At this moment, a middle-aged man among the seventeen prisoners suddenly said: "Can you let us eat something, drink some water first, and have a good rest?"
When these people came down, they didn’t expect to stay for so long, so they didn’t bring much supplies, especially food and drinking water.
Half of what they look like now is because of this.
"Eat whatever you want. If you don't eat even one meal, you will starve to death." After Wang Kaixuan heard this, he kicked him without thinking, knocking him to his knees, making him look like an unscrupulous fat man. The image of an overseer.
His kick was merciless. If these people were not tied to a rope, they would definitely kick this middle-aged man to the ground.
Seeing such a scene, Ding Sitian couldn't help but frown slightly, and her cherry lips couldn't help but squirm twice, but after seeing Hu Bayi's calm face, she still didn't say what.
Hu Bayi naturally noticed her situation, but he just shook his head slightly and said nothing.
If the situation permits, they don't mind giving these prisoners supplies, but it is absolutely impossible for them to eat and drink enough.
And when this person mentioned this matter at this time, it was difficult not to make people doubt his intentions.
So Hu Bayi said nothing, because Wang Kaixuan was more professional in dealing with this situation than him, so it was better for him not to interfere without authorization.
Hu Bayi did not intervene rashly, but Chen Ziyan said quietly at this moment: "Fat man, these people just do what you just said, don't waste time on unnecessary things, just follow the process. After getting what we want, those who are willing to cooperate will be thrown to the outsiders. Those who are unwilling to cooperate...just stay here forever."
Now that things are getting more and more, Chen Ziyan no longer wants to be with them. It's a waste of time, that's why I say this.
He felt that there was no need to give any polite preferential treatment to people who wanted to do harm to him, and he could just use the means to get it done.
As for whether the other party would jump over the wall in a hurry, he didn't care at all.
When these people are fully armed and full of energy, Wushuang Ghost can capture them all alive, let alone in this state.
Besides, Fatty Wang is not a fool. It is impossible for these people to play tricks on him.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, just look at it." Wang Kaixuan responded immediately.
After hearing this, the seventeen prisoners all stopped slightly in their steps. Except for a few whose eyes were filled with fear, the rest of them subconsciously showed a fierce look.
Again, if you can stay in this industry for a long time, you cannot say that there are no good people, but most of them are definitely ruthless people.
Ruthless people will never be willing to kill at the slightest provocation. When faced with the threat of death, they will do everything they can to resist, even if they know they will not succeed, they still have to make the enemy pay the price.
However, these people have no desperate plans at this time, because they are not too stupid people, and they can hear another meaning in Chen Ziyan's words.
If you cooperate well, you will survive!
Lei Zi outside, these five short words reveal a lot of information.
The reaction of the people around him to this sentence undoubtedly added a bit of credibility, which was enough to ignite their desire to survive.
It is one thing that Chen Ziyan is impatient, but he will not deliberately force these people to resist. The reason why he says this is to give them a sense of oppression.
So no matter how cruel they were in their hearts, after a brief stagnation, these people once again returned to their original appearance. Under the supervision of Wang Kaixuan, they obediently walked towards the side hall.
After getting Chen Ziyan's approval, Wang Kaixuan didn't want to waste a second. He just wanted to get valuable information out of these people's mouths as soon as possible.
Watching Wang Kaixuan and the captives disappear at the stone gate, neither Chen Ziyan nor Hu Bayi had any intention of following to help. They both believed that Wang Kaixuan could do this well.
After the people left completely, Ding Sitian finally couldn't bear the doubts in her heart and asked: "Is it unreasonable for you to do this?"
She previously thought that Chen Ziyan was teasing Wang Kaixuan, but she didn't I thought it was true.
She could imagine what methods Wang Kaixuan would use to achieve his goal.
Although Ding Sitian is not an inflexible person, this is the first time she has encountered such a thing.
She felt that if Wang Kaixuan really used some kind of lynching, wouldn't it cause a lot of trouble if these people tell the truth afterwards.
What's more, no matter how you look at it, this kind of behavior does not look like the behavior of a decent person.
Chen Ziyan did not answer Ding Sitian's question, but winked at Hu Bayi, indicating that he would solve the problem.
As soon as Hu Ba understood it, he looked at Ding Sitian and said, "Sitian, you have never been in contact with such a person before, so you don't understand the mystery inside."
What he thinks about Ding now She already has some understanding of Sitian's experience, and knows that although she often goes through life and death, she mostly faces strange things and monsters, rather than the twists and turns of people's hearts, so she said this.
Ding Sitian didn't speak. She wanted to refute, but she didn't know what to say.
Later, Hu Bayi asked: "Take the request of the person just now, do you think we should meet his request?"
Ding Sitian thought for a while and said: "If it is because of fear of them If we take the opportunity to regain our strength, we can supply the minimum amount." She could think of this and knew that if those people regained their strength, they would probably do something.
Hu Bayi asked again: "Then do you think he asked for food and water just to replenish his physical fitness?"
Ding Sitian frowned: " Is there any other purpose? ”
"Of course, his real purpose of doing this is to test our bottom line and even part of our character." Hu Bayi gave the answer.
When he was in the army, he would never have thought about things so deeply, because the environment at that time did not make it necessary.
But where he is now, he can better understand the stories his grandfather told at the beginning, and he can also understand that the most terrifying thing is the human heart.
Under such circumstances, he had to think twice when encountering problems.
Just like what happened this time, the other party's request is actually very simple, but the hidden thoughts behind it are not as simple as they appear.
If they happily provide food and drinking water, there is no guarantee that the other party will not make further demands until they test their bottom line.
And by that time, it is very likely that these prisoners have already made some preparations, and what will greet them will definitely not be gratitude, but some deeper malice.
Admittedly, Hu Bayi may be overthinking or overestimating the other party.
But he didn’t dare to gamble, and he didn’t dare to risk his own safety and the safety of his partners.
After all, these prisoners are not people who can be kind to you with a little favor. Not to mention guys who have been engaged in illegal activities all year round, even ordinary people who can be seen everywhere will never I would like to express my sincere gratitude for this.
It’s hard to see how many people have been beaten down, and how many good intentions have been consumed by malicious intentions.
Ding Sitian fell silent after hearing Hu Bayi's words.
She is not a stubborn person, and she also knows the ugliness of human nature. It’s just like Hu Bayi said, although her experience is magnificent enough, she has dealt with some weird things and anecdotes, and she is not a stubborn person. I haven’t really come into contact with this type of thing, so for the time being I still use my previous thinking model to think about the problem.
Seeing that Hu Bayi had settled the matter, Chen Ziyan secretly gave him a thumbs up.
With this method, there is hope for the family throne!
Then, he looked at the stone coffin not far away and said softly: "I think in order to understand the content of the temple murals, it is necessary to open this stone coffin and take a look."
This is The reason he came up with.
Similarly, this is also what he really thinks.
"This..." Hu Bayi hesitated. This stone coffin gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, and he did not want to open it rashly.
After thinking about it, he looked at Chen Ziyan and asked: "Master Chen, can you tell me the reason?"
He wanted to know why Chen Ziyan thought that the stone coffin was related to the temple murals.
Chen Ziyan said the prepared words: "The temple and the black-faced turtle are undoubtedly related to the Ghost Tomb. Not to mention that both appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but they are so close. It is difficult to separate the relationship between the two."
This may sound slightly contradictory, but Hu Bayi understands it clearly.
What Chen Ziyan means is that no matter in terms of time or location, the temple and the original ghost tomb should be together.
And this also raises the possibility that the original temples and ghost tombs were built by the nobles depicted in the murals?
If they want to find evidence that can prove this, they need to start from the ghost tomb, and what they are most likely to find at present is the stone coffin that suddenly appeared in front of them.
After thinking about it, Hu Bayi realized that this was really the case, and he had no reason to veto Chen Ziyan's proposal.
You can't rely on your own feelings. Such baseless things are untenable.
However, Hu Bayi still felt that he should be cautious, so he looked at the two girls next to him and asked: "You two, what are your opinions?"
There are people present now. Five, it can't just be the two of them who make the decision, other people's opinions must also be listened to.
As for why there are five people, but only four people's opinions are adopted.
Of course Hu Bayi knew the virtues of Wushuang Ghost, so he didn't bother to waste his words, because if he asked, he would only get silence.
In response, Shirley Yang showed an indifferent expression: "As long as you make the decision, I can do it."
Although Ding Sitian is the same as Hu Bayi, she also She felt that there might be some kind of danger in this stone coffin, but she wanted to know more information about the temple murals, so she said: "We may not be able to enter other parts of the Ghost Tomb, and we can't get anything valuable now. There are clues, so I also tend to open the stone coffin.”
Even if this stone coffin is dangerous, the area behind the temple will not be more dangerous.
After hearing the two people's statements, Hu Bayi gave up his thoughts and asked Chen Ziyan directly: "In this case, Mr. Chen...shall you come or me?"
He also I am not a procrastinating person. Now that the direction of things has been decided, I immediately adjusted my mentality and started to concentrate on this matter.
Chen Ziyan looked at the stone coffin and said, "To be on the safe side, let me do it."
No one knows what is in this stone coffin, so in order to prevent any accidents, Chen Ziyan I think it's better to do it myself.
His power ensures that he can choose the point of exertion at will. Even if there is some kind of mechanical rice dumpling inside, he can still be in a visual blind spot when opening the coffin.
If it were anyone else, it would be very difficult to do this.
And he also has the puppet armor Wushuanggui guarding him. Although the puppet armor's main job is fighting, he is also a good hand at this kind of physical work.
Regardless of technique, if only strength is concerned, there is no one present who can be his opponent.
What's more, if the situation is really serious, the Wushuang Ghost can resist immediately. Others do not have such personal protection.
Then, Chen Ziyan asked Hu Bayi to take the two girls back a few steps, and then led Wushuang Ghost to the side of the stone coffin.
He and Wushuang Ghost both put their hands on the lid of the stone coffin, and then exerted force in the same direction. They only heard a 'click' sound, and the seemingly heavy coffin lid was pushed slowly. Move forward slowly.
