don't die

He Tun pulled out an earthworm from the shallow pit of the footprints, and watched it twist and struggle in his hands.

Lin Shen passed behind him and kicked the wicked guy.

"Stay here in a daze when you have time, why don't you come over to work soon?"

He sat down the earthworm, watched it slowly twist its body and crawled away, and sighed: "I was just thinking, it was just a heavy rain, why all the things that were lurking in the soil crawled out just around the corner ?”

Lin Shen put a circle of hemp rope on his back, and said, "That's because they know that the sky has changed. The ghosts and monsters that have been hiding underground for a long time also need fresh air."

As he spoke, he kicked He Tiao again.

"Come and work."

He satirized helplessly and stood up, "Can't you just say it? These are the only clothes I have that look good, and they were soiled by you again."

Some of the clothes he brought to the mountain from the outside were out of season and some were damaged. He Tun was worrying about what to wear in the future, and whether he should order a few new ones.Lin Shen was quite disdainful of his behavior.

"You can still wear clothes that are torn and mended. You are more particular than women."

He satirized and laughed angrily, "It's not called being particular, it's a kind of etiquette, isn't it! Dressing appropriately is a way of grooming yourself and respecting others."

"Really? I think it's decent as long as you don't run around naked."

He Xiong was too lazy to continue to argue with this person who had no aesthetic concept, but after seeing Lin Shen's actions clearly, he became curious about what he was doing now.

"What are you doing with all these things?"

Lin Shen was sharpening a piece of sharp wood, sharpening one end of a broken wood, when he heard He Tiao's question, he handed over the wood thorn.

"Try it."

"try what?"

Lin Shen didn't talk nonsense with him. He took a thick rag from the side and poked it forward with a wooden spike.With a thud, the rag was easily cut open.He was dumbfounded.

I saw Lin Shen quickly cut a few sharp enough wooden thorns, about the size of a forearm, arranged them neatly on the ground, and evenly tied these few wooden thorns to the top of the small bamboo on the side with a rope.Then, he pressed the small bamboo down very hard, and tied its top to the tree roots beside it.

At the connection, there was also a snap button that He Ting couldn't understand.

After doing this, Lin Shen took out a fishing line, carefully buried it in the nearby grass, tightened it, and finally tied it to the end of the small bamboo tied with wooden thorns.

After doing all this, he cleared the traces of the original place, and the small bamboo was covered by other trees and bamboos, and it was impossible to notice its strangeness without looking carefully.

From the beginning to the end, watching Lin Shen doing these things, He Tiao's mouth opened wider and wider.

Lin Shen picked up other tools on the ground and prepared to go to work elsewhere.

"Be careful when you go out in the future, don't touch the place where the fishing line is hidden." He reminded He Tun.

It was only then that He Tun reacted.

"You, you, what are you doing?"

Lin Shen looked at him knowingly, "Trap, don't you understand?"

"It's not that I don't understand! The key is to use this level of trap, it will kill people!"

Even if He Xiong didn't understand the details of making this trap, he could probably understand it.It is nothing more than that when an outsider breaks in and touches the fishing line, the rope tied to the top of the small bamboo will be loosened, and then by the elastic force, the small bamboo will bounce back to its original shape, and at the same time, several wooden spines tied to the bamboo stem will fly fiercely.

According to the sharpness of that wooden thorn, wouldn't it poke holes all over a person's body! ?

"No one can die, at most there are a few more holes."

Lin Shen didn't care about the authenticity, and took his crime tools to set traps elsewhere.

"Can't kill someone?" He satirized anxiously and angrily at his answer, "Even if we can't kill someone, we can't afford to go around if we seriously injured the other party."

"Why?" Lin Shen looked at him suspiciously, "Isn't this self-defense?"

Good guy, you still know the word self-defense, otherwise He Tun would almost doubt whether he graduated from high school.

"Even if it's just self-defense, it needs to meet a lot of conditions! Like you, it's obvious, it's obvious... you're in a hurry, and you want to get out of prison?"

Finally, under the roar of He Tiao, Lin Shen finally modified the lethality of the trap reluctantly, grinding the sharp wooden thorns so that they were no longer so sharp, and the rockfall trap no longer picked up stones that could crush a person to death.But even so, looking at the fruits of Lin Shen's labor all morning - nothing changed, in fact, the small courtyard with murderous intentions inside has an urge to cry without tears.

Lin Shen persuaded him: "This is a kind of self-defense. Do you still want to be peeped by someone who doesn't know what it is when you fall asleep in the middle of the night?"

He Yun thought about it carefully, then shook his head.

"Do you think that when that black figure reappears, you can only watch him run away helplessly?"

He satirically shook his head vigorously.

"It's just a moderate defense. I don't intend to hurt anyone intentionally. I don't offend me if I don't offend. It's just to protect myself. Is there anything wrong?"

He satirized his words, as if what Lin Shen said made sense, but why did he feel that something was wrong?

By the way, he finally thought of a loophole!

He mocked hurriedly: "If you do this, what if other people break in by mistake and get hurt?"

"No one will come to this house." Lin Shen said, "If something happens, they will only let Uncle Wang come to me."

"Yes! It's Uncle Wang. Wouldn't it be bad if he came to look for us but fell into your trap?"

Lin Shen nodded in understanding.

"Coincidentally, I was worried about that too."

"Let me just say, quickly put them all..."

"So, I need you...to go down the mountain." Lin Shen patted He Tiao on the shoulder, "Let Uncle Wang know and tell him not to come here for a few days."

"I'm going?" He sarcastically pointed at himself.

"If you don't go, do you want me to go? I don't mind either."

"No, no, I'll go down the mountain!" Thinking of the scene when Lin Shen was going down the mountain, He Tun hurriedly stopped him.

"Very well, here is the address." Lin Shen stuffed a piece of paper that seemed to have been prepared long ago into his hand. "Remember to come back before evening, otherwise you won't be able to see clearly where the trap was laid, and you will be in danger."

When do you have to be so careful when you go back to your own home?He satirized with a helpless expression, and was pushed outside by Lin Shen.

"Go early and come back early, I will do the forest patrol today for you, no wages will be deducted."

Lin Shen waved to him.

"You treat it as a paid vacation, and you can buy whatever you want at the foot of the mountain."

Subconsciously walking along the path to the mountain pass, He Tun came back to his senses.

Why did he feel like he was being fooled by Lin Shen?No no no, definitely an illusion.

Is it... an illusion?

Five minutes later, He Tun let out a roar, startling three or five flying birds.

"Lin Shen, you wait, you will look good when I come back!"

At this time, Lin Shen had already packed his things, pushed aside the fence of the small courtyard, looked at the courtyard for the last time, and walked out.He didn't follow the patrol route scheduled for today. If He Xiong was there, he would find that Lin Shen was actually walking towards the scene of the mudslide yesterday.

Lin Shen did indeed take that place as his destination.

On the road alone, he arrived at the place last night in less than half an hour.

The pool of blood on the ground can no longer be seen clearly, but the smell of blood is still there. It is the unique smell of human blood.After a night, there were many miscellaneous paw prints on the ground. It seemed that some beasts smelled blood and sniffed it in the middle of the night.

But they are also like He Teng, they have nothing to gain except leaving with a bellyful of doubts.

Lin Shen squatted down again, like last night, carefully smeared the wet soil on the ground with his fingers, then raised his head and looked towards the height of the dense forest.

The sunlight that just broke through the clouds was a bit dazzling, and Lin Shen squinted his eyes, covered it with his hand, and continued to look at the branches of the forest.Soon, he found the trace he was looking for.He threw the backpack on the ground, grabbed the trunk with both hands, and climbed up the tree with two or three swishes.

Then, he stopped at the place where he found suspicious traces just now.It was a leaf, but it was not an ordinary leaf. There were some strange marks on it and the leaves around it.

Dark brown, dry marks that look like dried blood.

No, Lin Shen thought, this is indeed dried blood.Fortunately, the rain stopped quickly last night, otherwise, if even this clue was washed away, he would not be able to confirm his guess.

Yes, after sending He Xi away, Lin Shen came here alone to investigate. Lin Shen just wanted to confirm an idea in his heart - that black shadow yesterday did not disappear out of thin air.

Since it will bleed and be injured, it must be a living human being.How could a living person disappear mysteriously?So they couldn't find the black shadow yesterday, just because the black shadow hid.But what kind of hiding method is there, even the bloodstains are hidden, and there are not even footprints to hide?

There is only one answer - last night, that black shadow was hiding on a certain branch above their heads, maybe even staring at them coldly through the dense branches and leaves, and followed them back to the wooden house, staying outside the wooden house for a long time. leave.

Holding the leaves tightly, Lin Shen looked around again, turned over and got off the tree.

Now that the speculation has been confirmed, there is only one thing he has to do.

Find out this guy who pretends to be a ghost!

Lin Shen's eyes dimmed, he turned his head, and glanced at the high tree trunk.

Want to challenge his patience?Then give it a try!

He picked up his bag and left.

In situ, only a few leaves that he dropped were left in pieces.
