Chapter 121: People-Swallowing Island (13)

"Have you heard the story of Seven Fairies and Dong Yong? It's about people falling in love with gods and finally living together without shame, but this kind of story doesn't have any good results here.

How can humans and gods be together?It's like it's impossible for a rich man to marry his daughter to poor people like us.

Therefore, mortals who dared to hook up with the gods were punished. They became extremely ugly, neither human nor ghost, and became monsters in people's eyes. They would be scolded and ridiculed by others wherever they went, let alone talk to each other. .

These monsters can only stay away from the crowd and live alone in the wilderness.

It is said that hundreds of years ago, a monster came to Laitou Island to avoid the world.

At that time, Laitou Island didn't have a name yet, and it got such an ugly name because there was such a monster on the island.

It is said that when the monster and the fairy lover were fleeing for their lives, they were betrayed and denounced by their best friends, and unfortunately they were caught.So he hated the betrayer to the core, and vowed to hang the villain who betrayed his friend on the tree, dry it as human flesh and eat it..."

"So disgusting?!" Wu Cuo frowned and said, "Mate, then you have to be careful."

He was still brooding over the fact that the first mate left everyone behind and sailed for their lives. Speaking of which, it was definitely a betrayal, so the first mate had no choice but to shut up in embarrassment.

But Yan Ruyu said, "Coincidentally, I found a post on the Internet before I came here, and it was about this legend."

"Post? Is this thing reliable?" Wu asked wrongly.

"Don't tell me, Old Wu, it's just as you think, it's not reliable at all."

"why?"

"Because the time of posting was exactly two days after the incident, and Laitou Island was written in the title, as if it was specially sent to us. First officer, do you think the person who posted the post is the murderer? Even if it is not the murderer, At least there are legends to mislead us..."

Yan Ruyu did not get an answer from the chief mate.

He looked back, and there was nothing behind him.

"Mate?"

no respond.

Wu Cuo also stopped.

"He... ran away?" Yan Ruyu couldn't figure it out.

Wu mistakenly punched the tree beside him.

"Grandma! This kid is really not simple! Where can he go? Will he go away by himself on a raft?"

"Impossible," Yan Ruyu shook her head, "What's the difference between going out on a raft and committing suicide? Only fools would do that!"

Wu wrongly set up a pergola and looked around: "Then what should we do now? Chase or not?"

"Where do you go after a cat in the woods?" Yan Ruyu stretched out his hand and pointed forward, "Let's continue, the target hangs the dead body, leave him alone, the island is a natural prison, want to run? Difficult!"

Walking in the jungle was very exhausting. At the beginning, the two talked to each other and discussed the case. After a long time, only the sound of wheezing and wheezing remained.

Wu Cuo is fine, but Yan Ruyu, who has physical difficulties, almost collapsed.

When the two finally arrived at the scene where the corpse was hung, Yan Ruyu sat down on the ground, hugged the kettle and poured half of it vigorously, coughing violently for a long time.

Wu took the kettle by mistake, drank it in small sips for a while, and suddenly smiled.

"Old Yan, it's the first time I see you are not interested in the scene."

"No, I'm very interested in this place." Yan Ruyu gasped and stood up, and walked around the three trees where the corpse was hung, "I have always wondered why the murderer hung the corpse on the tree.

Old Wu, let me ask you, if you were the murderer, what would you do with these corpses? "

"Of course it was thrown into the sea. As long as the corpse is fed to fish, there will be no proof of the murder."

"This is strange. Even you can think of it. The murderer can't think of it. Then what is his purpose for hanging the corpse on the tree?"

"Could it be that it wasn't the murderer who hung the corpse on the tree, but someone else... Also, even I can think of what it means, I provoked you?!"

Yan Ruyu laughed a little, and continued to say seriously: "Well, now let's assume that someone hung the corpse on the tree for some purpose, and this person—or these people—may be the murderer, or they may be related to this case. other relevant stakeholders.

I think that by first figuring out why we did it, we can know who did it.

Old Wu, I have to say, this case is really interesting. "

Wu Cuo climbed onto the tree, observed while saying: "There are a few scratch marks on the tree, and there are broken branches, but it's too messy, with a hammer here and a stick here, so it's impossible to guess what happened on the tree at that time."

At this time, Yan Ruyu shouted from 30 meters away: "Old Wu! Come and see! What is this?"

"coming!"

Wu Cuo got down from the tree and ran over to take a closer look at the trunk Yan Ruyu was pointing at.There was a straight scar on the trunk.

"It was cut with a knife!" Wu made a wrong conclusion.

"Are you sure? It's not a beast?" Yan Ruyu expressed doubts.

"Sure. There are no ligers, tigers and bears on this small island. It is difficult for other small and medium-sized beasts to leave such deep marks, and—"

Wu Cuo's eyes suddenly focused on the distance, and then he rushed forward, pushed Yan Ruyu to the ground, and covered his mouth with one hand.

Yan Ruyu only felt a sharp pain in her chest from Wu's wrong elbow, and she almost cried out.

"Shh-"

Wu Cuo made some vocal gestures, Yan Ruyu nodded with a bitter face, and Wu Cuo let go of the hand covering Yan Ruyu.

Following Wu Cuo's line of sight, Yan Ruyu saw several people coming out of the bushes about six to seventy meters away.

"I'll go! Old Wu! Clairvoyance, you!"

Although he didn't say this, he fully expressed it with his eyes.

When those people got closer, the two found that the first officer was tied up and pushed forward.

It seems that this coward was captured not long after he escaped.

"You said those two cops would come here, where are they?" The leader came to the first mate and asked loudly.

The first mate was about to cry, "I'm not lying! Those two policemen went ashore with me, brother, please spare me! I'm a hard sailor! I don't know anything..."

Snapped--

The leader slapped the first officer shut up, and then ordered his subordinates: "Check the surroundings, find a place to ambush them all, and kill them immediately when the note comes, leaving no one behind!"

Several people quickly disappeared in the surrounding woods.

Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo gasped.

These people... Are you a grassroots bandit who takes over the mountain and becomes king?Or...they were the murderers who killed the nine people?

Not counting the first mate, there were 5 people on the other side, each of them had a knife on their waist, and two of them held a half-meter-long machete in their hands. The leader's pocket was bulging, which seemed to be a gun.

It's hard to deal with!Wu wrongly calculated in his heart.Fortunately, the first officer did not seem to be in danger for the time being.

It seems that they can only wait until it gets dark, and only under the cover of night can the two of them escape from the enemy's guarding circle.

The wait was so long, the two of them lay motionless on their stomachs, waiting from noon to dusk, enduring the bites of mosquitoes, the surprise of snakes and insects, and their stomachs growling.

It was hard to wait until the sky darkened.

Just as the two of them moved their numb hands and feet and were about to break out quietly, a woman's voice came from the direction they came from.

"Xiaobai, I always feel that something is wrong. Didn't the team leader bring a satellite phone? Why didn't you contact us?"

Minghui's voice!
　The score of a fantasy book I wrote before was extremely poor, and I wanted to abandon the book, but I always felt that something was wrong, at least there should be an ending.I spent some time writing the ending today, so I only updated two chapters. Allow me to make up the homework I owed before, and we will officially start the daily update of three chapters!
