Reincarnation Train Restart [Unlimited]

After the figures of the two Xun people disappeared completely, Wu Xiajiu let go of his hand covering Tao Bin's mouth, and slowly stood up from the back of a wooden boat.

He frowned as he looked at the direction in which the cage was drifting along the water, and said, "Get on the boat."

"Ah?" Xiao Fang also stood up from the back of the wooden boat, and tilted his head in bewilderment.

But in an instant he reacted, turned his head to look at the river and said, "Monastery Master, do you want to catch up with that cage and see what's inside?"

Wu Xiajiu nodded.

He glanced at Tao Bin, but did not ask him why he had to go out in the middle of the night.

Tao Bin and Wu Xiajiu looked at each other and said, "I want to get on the boat too."

Wu Xiajiu didn't want to leave him at first, so he agreed.

After that, the three of them worked together to push one of the wooden boats into the river. After getting up, they rowed the boat quickly, and after a while, they caught up with the cage that was gradually drifting with the water.

Xiao Fang stretched out his hand, used the paddle to pass through the gap in the cage frame to hook it firmly, and then rowed to the side of the boat, and Wu Xiajiu and Tao Bin held it together.

"What could be here..." Tao Bin murmured.

Xiao Fang put down his oars and said, "Garbage? Or, those two Xun tribesmen came to sink their corpses by the river, I guess there are corpses inside."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands to frighten Tao Bin.

Tao Bin stammered, "How, how is it possible."

At this time, Wu Xiajiu said quickly from the side: "Maybe, this cage is indeed filled with people."

He heard some slight movements from inside the cage, plus the size and shape of the frame and the sack... probably people.

Tao Bin swallowed hard when he heard this.

Not much to say, Xiao Fang and Tao Bin grabbed the cage frame, and Wu Xiajiu reached in to untie the sack. After the twined hemp rope was loosened bit by bit, the "things" inside were finally revealed to the three of them. ——

"scare."

The moment he saw it, Tao Bin was so frightened that he let go of his hand and backed away.

Due to his violent and sudden movements, the hull of the ship shook violently, and even the "things" contained in the cage and sacks trembled accordingly.

Xiao Fang immediately put his hand on Tao Bin's shoulder, narrowed his green eyes, and said with a smile, "Don't, move, oh."

Tao Bin nodded blankly, looking straight at the cage frame.

I saw a person lying in the untied sack, no, it should be said that it is no longer considered a person.

"It" can no longer tell whether it is a man or a woman, but its whole body is covered with fish scales.

Especially the position of the head has been completely deformed, flat and hairless, shaped like a fish's head, the mouth is open, and two rows of fine teeth can be seen faintly.

"It" originally had its eyes closed, not knowing whether it was dead or alive.

But because of Tao Bin's movement, the cage trembled with the body of the boat and the water, which woke up "it".

"It" opened its eyes, the eyeballs were round, black and white, turning around in the eye sockets, just like the protruding eyes of a dead fish, it looked extremely terrifying.

At this moment, no one moved, the cage and the boat drifted with the current.

Wu Xiajiu still held on to the sack inside the cage and did not let go. After frowning for a while, he said, "This thing, this person... can't breathe."

"It" no longer has a nose on its face, but it can't find where the gills are, and it is opening and closing its mouth to inhale continuously.

But that seems futile.

Because the expression of this thing is getting more and more painful, and the face shows the ferociousness and discomfort of suffocation.

"It" is already on the verge of death. When it is disturbed, it is like a flash of light. After a short period of time, it gradually loses its life, remains motionless, and its body is frozen in the sack.

"Dead." Xiao Fang said: "Could it be possible that this thing is a person turned into a fish monster? No way, the first night when I came to the Xun tribe was so exciting."

"Is this... from the Xun tribe?" Suddenly, Tao Bin asked.

He pressed his hands tightly against the side of the boat, and his lips were tightly pressed after speaking, as if he was suppressing some emotions.

"Yes." Wu Xiajiu said.

He answered in the affirmative.

Because this person who looks like a fish monster is still wearing the unique costumes of the Xun people.

Furthermore, apart from them, there should be no other outsiders in the Xun tribe, and the identity of the people in the cage is self-evident.

After Wu Xiajiu finished speaking, he let go of his hand, allowing the cage to float away from the boat with the sack and the dead monster in it, slowly overtaking the wooden boat they were on...

Wu Xiajiu said: "We follow this cage."

See where the cage can float.

Is it outside the valley?

The cage is in front and the wooden boat is behind.

Xiao Fang nodded, put the paddle by his side, pressed one hand on it, and looked at Tao Bin with the other hand and asked, "What are you going to do when you come out at night? Why don't you sleep?"

At this time, Tao Bin was in the middle of the wooden boat, and Wu Xiajiu and Xiao Fang were sitting on both sides of the boat.

Tao Bin came back to his senses, turned his head and looked at the two of them left and right, his voice was a little hoarse, and he said, "Aren't you two up late at night and didn't sleep, what are you doing here? Why do you only ask me."

Wu Xiajiu: "Because I saved you just now, otherwise you would have been discovered by those two Xun people."

"Yes, yes." Xiao Fang agreed with a smile: "The two of us did not sleep, but went out to the bathroom, and we happened to see you going out sneakily."

"We're not worried about you, so we followed up to have a look, you see, you are really worrying." Xiao Fang finally spread his hands and said.

Wu Xia took a long look at Xiao Fang and did not deny it.

The corners of Tao Bin's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and said, "Do you both want to go to the bathroom together?"

"What's wrong with boys and boys going to the bathroom together? It's not safe at night. It's better to have someone with you than to be scared alone." Xiao Fang mumbled in the direction of the cage.

Wu Xiajiu said: "We saw you standing on the bank of the river to pull the rope of the wooden boat, where do you want to go by boat?"

"This river has only one direction to flow through. Do you know where this cage will drift?"

"I don't know." Tao Bin said in silence for a while.

He was on the wooden boat, he couldn't leave, he couldn't escape, he couldn't escape, and finally, under the watchful eyes of Wu Xiajiu and Xiao Fang, he confided: "I just... I just followed the map to find it."

"There is no other road here except a river. Of course I want to take a boat along the river to have a look."

"Map? It shouldn't be the map in Professor Zhao's hand."

Wu Xiajiu frowned, and asked, "Tao Bin, if I'm not mistaken, what you have in your hand should be a map of the residence of the Xun people. What's the relationship between you and the Xun people?"

"Still...you are also from the Xun tribe."

Tao Bin raised his head and didn't answer for a while.

But looking at his expression, he did not deny Wu Xiajiu's statement.

"Are you really from the Xun tribe?" Xiao Fang asked slightly closer.

Tao Bin smiled wryly and said, "No, I'm half a Xun, and my mother is a Xun..."

Tao Bin's mother's name is Su Man.

She also has a name from the Xun tribe, Sudaniman, who left for some unknown reason. Later, she met Tao Bin's father, and the two got married and gave birth to Tao Bin.

But later, Tao Bin's father died unexpectedly.

Originally, mother and son depended on each other for life, but Su Man disappeared for unknown reasons, and has been missing for two full years.

Tao Bin couldn't find his mother, but because of the demolition of the old house they lived in, Tao Bin discovered a basement at home.

And this basement was transformed into a laboratory, and some materials and a notebook were stored in it.

Tao Bin said: "My father is a professor of medicine. He said in his notes that my mother has a strange disease, which cannot be cured with the current medical conditions."

"And the mother doesn't want others to find out about her condition."

"So, my father secretly remodeled the basement for my mother, and then used it to research medicine for my mother that can treat this strange disease."

"Later, my father passed away unexpectedly, and my mother continued to write in her notes—I'm afraid she will die, and she will go back to the place where the tribe lives immediately to find a cure for this strange disease."

"But I don't know if I can come back after this trip. If I can't come back... then I'm dead."

Therefore, Su Man did not tell her son before leaving, and she left without saying goodbye until Tao Bin accidentally discovered the basement two years later.

"I was only 14 years old at that time. After my mother disappeared, I have been living with my grandparents." Tao Bin took out a dilapidated notebook from his arms and said.

In this notebook, apart from the medical conditions recorded by Tao Bin's father, there are also the situation of the Xun ethnic group written by Tao Bin's mother intermittently, recording the places where she once lived.

Therefore, after Tao Bin found this notebook, the Xun people began to look for their mother.

He didn't believe his mother was dead until he confirmed it with his own eyes.

And Professor Zhao was Tao's father's childhood friend and friend.

After one of Tao Bin's parents died unexpectedly and the other disappeared, Professor Zhao took good care of him.

It was precisely because Professor Zhao was obsessed with studying the hanging coffin funeral culture of the Xun people, so Tao Bin went to find Professor Zhao with his notes.

Only after that did the two decide to go to the Xun clan.

"What kind of strange disease did your mother suffer from, and she didn't even go to the hospital?" Xiao Fang changed his posture and asked with one hand on the side of the boat.

Tao Bin hesitated to speak.

Wu Xiajiu glanced at the cage floating in front of him, and asked, "Does your mother have fish scales?"

Tao Bin suddenly raised his eyes to look at Wu Xiajiu, opened his mouth, and finally shrugged his shoulders feebly, and said, "That's right...it's like this."

"My father recorded the condition of my mother's illness in his notes. He did mention the scales of the fish. He wrote that the scales first grew on the arms or legs, and then gradually spread to other parts of the body."

"It may be the head in the end, and at the same time it is accompanied by shortness of breath, and slowly there will be a feeling of suffocation and weakness..."

"I didn't know what kind of strange disease it was until I saw what it looked like just now."

Tao Bin covered his face, said that he couldn't take it anymore, and his voice couldn't help breaking down: "I'm so scared, I'm afraid that my mother will become like this..."
