Inscription of Different Cases

Chapter 16 Stone Dragon 2

Zhuzhen was woken up by a bunch of wild animals barking, cats barking, dogs barking, chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, everything, it was a hodgepodge.In a daze, he thought he ran into some kind of farm compound, he was a little confused for a while, and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember.The consciousness is not fully awake yet, and the feeling of drowsiness pervades the whole body. He subconsciously plugs his ears with a quilt, and wants to sleep for a while.

He fell into a deep sleep again, but the noise of the animals intensified, as if noisy mosquitoes were buzzing in his ears.He turned around irritably, waving his hands to drive away something.At this moment, he suddenly felt a weight beside him, something was pressed against the couch, and then a warm and rough thing hit his forehead, brushing away the broken hair.

mask!

What about the mask? !

The long-lost touch made him wake up suddenly. He raised his right hand, but the poison dart hidden on his body disappeared.He was terrified, did he get searched by the enemy? !Looking around again, I found that it was hazy everywhere, as if separated by a layer of fog, I could barely tell it was daytime, and there was a person sitting in front of me.

Blind and captured?

He began to recall what had happened before.He was plotted against, hid in a cave, and encountered a monster of unknown origin.Then what?He only remembered that the monster came up, and he tried to block him away.Perhaps it was caused by blood loss and nervousness, the toxin spread rapidly, and his internal organs were in pain as if they were on fire.The sweat in his palms made him unable to hold the blade steadily anymore. Before he fell down, the monster didn't know where he went, and he vaguely saw a pair of men's feet in front of him.

Recalling this termination, several ominous guesses flashed through his mind.At this moment, his blurred vision should be due to the fact that the toxin has not been eradicated, his limbs are also a little weak, and his physical strength has obviously not recovered.He has been trained since he was a child, and ordinary people will definitely die if they encounter this kind of poison. Although he can survive it, it is still choking.Who is this person in front of him?Since I was not poisoned to death, do I want to become a fish to be slashed by others?

"Who are you?" he asked coldly.

The noise around him was even louder, but his vision was only less than three feet in front of him, and everything else was a blur of light.The other party didn't answer, and didn't even move, Zhuzhen couldn't see the man's expression clearly, suddenly a big hand stretched out and grabbed his jaw.

Want to extract a confession?

Zhuzhen also didn't care too much, in order not to be insulted by the enemy, he pushed the tongue out of his mouth, and had to swallow the suicide poison that had been hidden between his teeth.Unexpectedly, the other party's reaction was faster than his, and he stuck his fingers directly into his mouth, trying not to close his jaw.Zhuzhen struggled vigorously, but she couldn't shake the other person, she could only take the poison away with a single prick of the man's fingers.Zhu Zhen was choked and coughed, and when she regained her senses, those pincer-like hands had already wrapped around his shoulders, forcing him to push back.

When her head touched the pillow, Zhuzhen was a little confused.Looking around, it seems to be a simple bed with a thick cotton mattress.No matter how far away you can't see clearly, it's just a group of phantoms.

"What do you want to do?" Zhuzhen's tone was still so cold, with a sense of despair.He wanted to straighten up, but he was firmly held back, "Let me be clear first, I'm just doing things for money, don't expect to get anything from me for anything else."

As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly fell in front of him. After he saw it clearly, he found that it was a little black cat with one ear broken. It was grinning at him at the moment, the hair all over its body stood up, and its tail exploded like a cat. A fluffy feather duster.

Zhuzhen was taken aback for a moment, what happened one after another made him a little bit overwhelmed.The strange noises around were even louder, and suddenly he felt a lightness in his shoulders, the man withdrew his hand, lifted the black cat by the neck, and threw it out.

Meow--

Then there was another roar of animals, Zhuzhen didn't know what the person in front of him had done, the surroundings were instantly quiet, and even the whistling wind outside could be heard.

Zhuzhen couldn't figure it out, his eyes could only see nearby things, when the other party came closer, he could finally see the person's face vaguely.He was a man in his late thirties, with sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, and at first glance he looked fierce.But his eyes were deep and quiet, like a pool of dark water, without any waves.

He made a mouth-shape to Zhuzhen, Zhuzhen read it three times before she understood that she was telling him to lie down and rest.Zhu Zhen asked again who the other party was, and the man calmly pointed at his throat without speaking.

Is a dumb?

Zhu Zhen had mixed feelings in her heart.What does it matter when a blind man meets a dumb man?

Worried, the opponent's hand directly covered his eyes, forcing his eyelids to be wiped off.Later, probably because she couldn't bear the weakness in her body, Zhuzhen still closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

+++

When he woke up again, his eyes had almost recovered, but unfortunately, he still felt weak and weak in his internal energy when he adjusted his breath, just like an ordinary person who had never practiced martial arts.It should be morning outside, and I am alone in the room.He looked around and found that the house was really poor.A bed, two poufs tied with rushes, a tattered cabinet that looked like a wrinkled walnut, and a few farm tools beside it.

Zhuzhen lifted up the mattress and saw that the underlay was really thatch. Although the mattress was old, it should have been washed.Although the furnishings in the house are simple, they are all spotless. It seems that the owner is not a sloppy person.

But a row of bowls in the corner caught Zhuzhen's attention.It is the ordinary clay bowl, which costs a few pennies each, and now even the country people don't use it much, and prefer to use a little more delicate porcelain.Just such a few pottery bowls, neatly lined up, there are seven or eight of them.Everything here has a stale smell, and there is a faint smell, like the smell of animal fur.

Zhuzhen frowned.

Turning his head again, he found that there was also a bowl beside the bed, which contained dark brown decoction.For yourself?He picked it up, and gently shook the side of the bowl against the light, watching the liquid swirl slowly in the bowl, and gradually a few pieces of medicine dregs floated up.He leaned over to sniff again, there was a fragrance and a sweet smell.

Add sesame grass, prevent poison ivy, and mix a little licorice.Both are common antidotes.That man is a doctor?After thinking about it, Zhuzhen denied this judgment again.Most people who have lived in the mountains for a long time will know herbs for emergency needs.This doesn't mean anything, at most it means that the man really wanted to save him.

Is it pure kindness, or...

Zhuzhen drank the decoction, lifted the quilt, and slowly stood on the ground.At this time, he found that the things he had brought before were neatly placed in the cabinet, including poison darts, masks, short knives, and some miscellaneous gadgets, everything was there.

For some reason, he was a little touched, took a few pieces away and brought them back to him, then stared at the cabinet gradually lost in thought.He didn't wake up until the breeze blew open the half-covered wooden door and made a "creak".

The sun was already shining brightly outside, and the warm sunlight poured into the house through the crack of the door, illuminating the ground softly and brightly like a lake.He took a step towards the gate, and without paying attention, his toes touched the earthenware bowl on the ground, making a crisp "bang-dang" sound.

A shrill cat meow came, like a leader's chant, and all kinds of strange cries filled the surroundings instantly, like a big wave breaking ice in February, continuous and continuous.Zhuzhen was startled, and when she turned her side, she saw a goose flying up to the window sill, its hard beak was like the sharp teeth of a beast, pecking at him.Of course Zhuzhen would not be afraid of an animal, she took a step back, and when she turned her gaze, she saw several furry heads protruding from the door one after another: three cats, a dog, and a sheep.

Zhuzhen "coughed", feeling a little helpless.As soon as he moved, the group of animals screamed even more frantically, and even bared their teeth, wanting to rush towards him aggressively.Zhuzhen made a repelling gesture and gave them a hard look.Murderous aura filled the air, they retreated half a step, but still held their heads up and meowed and barked at him endlessly.

Zhu Zhen bears countless life debts. Many people say that he has a strong evil spirit, and the most obvious manifestation is that he does not like animals and children.Just like now, even if he did nothing, all the animals still treat him as a sworn enemy.

However, it doesn't matter to him, he is inherently lacking in emotion, and treats people coldly.Assassins never end well, he never imagined that on that day, he would still have concerns about the world.People living like that are too tired and pitiful, he doesn't care about it.

The animals were still barking endlessly at him, and he pretended he didn't hear anything, and passed among them calmly.Only then did he discover that most of these animals were disabled.For example, the black cat with one ear missing, the three-legged dog, and the sheep bitten by wolves.Of the other two cats, one had a bald tail, the other was blind in the right eye, and even the feathers on the goose's body were scorched, and the tail was a black ball, as if it had just been beaten into ashes. Nap in general.

Zhuzhen understood that the owner here must be a kind person who is too merciful, otherwise why would he pick up everything at home.Looking around, the yard is so simple that there is no fence, and there is a vegetable field in the distance, which grows some of the most common vegetables.There are some messy and old things piled up outside the door: dirty buckets, mud-stained hoes, a crooked fishing net, and a dustpan that has a hole but is reluctant to throw away.There are animal feces in the potholes and corners of the wall. Looking around, Zhuzhen can't see anything of value. How poor is the owner here?

It is difficult for him to raise so many animals.Zhuzhen thought to herself.Then he came up with a strange thought: This person brought him back, could it be that he picked him up like a small animal?

He gave a "tsk" in extreme displeasure.

Maybe it was because his appearance was too presumptuous, and he looked disgusted while visiting around the yard. The animals became more angry and roared endlessly.He even saw a dilapidated hen coop behind the bucket, and out of it came a high-spirited old hen with its neck straight, as if it was going to rush over and peck his leg.

Zhuzhen couldn't help laughing, he had never laughed like this in his life, in the middle of a group of round and furry animals that surrounded him aggressively, he covered his mouth, holding back his laughter until his face turned red.

Until a burly man appeared at the door—a burly man might be too much, Zhuzhen felt that the man was well-proportioned, with slender limbs, but his muscles were strong, obviously he had been trained.But such an imposing man, his appearance is not bad, but he is wearing a patched coarse cloth bunt, walking slowly with a hoe on his shoulder, and there are mud spots splashed on his body.From Zhuzhen's point of view, it really gave him a feeling of confusion.

The other party approached, and the animals immediately ran up like a complaint and continued to make noise.Zhuzhen withdrew her smile, and returned to that frosty expression.But he didn't last long, and when the man came over, he still loosened up a bit, because he saw that the straw basket held by the other party was filled with herbs-shangzhicao, poison ivy, and licorice, all of which he was using.

He mumbled a thank you.

The man's face was calm, as if he was indifferent to anything, making it hard to see through.He nodded at Zhuzhen and raised his right hand. With such a simple movement, all the surrounding animals stopped talking.Zhuzhen blinked in surprise, the other party suddenly reached out to him without warning, and directly held his shoulder.Zhuzhen found that this man was really strong, he was indeed a typical farmer, and it hurt him a little.But the man just wanted to see his wound, he hesitated for a moment, but still didn't break free.

In any case, he felt that he should not argue with a mute.

After the other party finished reading, he patted his head with satisfaction, which made him quite dissatisfied: "You picked me up as a cat and dog?"

The other party shook his head.

Zhuzhen deliberately sneered: "You think you are smart. You don't think about my identity, I will kill you, a country bumpkin."

The man's expression was still calm, he actually smiled, and made several gestures to Zhuzhen.Zhuzhen understood, he meant lunch time and asked herself to help.

"You are quite good at summoning the wounded," Zhuzhen said.For some reason, he somehow relaxed when he was with this person.At this time the other party turned around, Zhu Zhen saw something crawling on the man's back, it was black with many colorful spots.He thought it was some kind of weird rucksack, but the thing suddenly moved and crawled from the man's back to his shoulders.

Zhuzhen suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body.He remembered what it was, it was clearly the monster he saw in the cave that day!
