Chapter 269 The smell of death

When the black blind man heard Xu Er's request for more money, he smiled and said: "You are so brave, kid. You dare to bargain with me..."

He stood up silently and walked towards Xu Er step by step. He was holding a short knife full of blood in one hand, and the other hand was also full of blood. Xu Er couldn't help but tremble in his heart, although he couldn't beat this guy anyway.

Black and blind man, but if you die in this inaccessible pine forest, your body may be eaten by wild beasts later, then you will not only die without a burial place, but also die without a complete body.

When he thought about going out this morning, his mother also asked him to go home early for breakfast. Unexpectedly, his last meal was just cold water and biscuits, and he didn't even take the last bite of the hot rice cooked by his mother. This big boy felt anxious.

Wronged.

Looking at the approaching black blind man, he instinctively stepped back. The black blind man suddenly raised a hand, and he quickly covered his head subconsciously. Unexpectedly, the black blind man suddenly asked: "Is this thing good?

Do you want to eat something?"

Xu Er put down his hand and saw a dark green bear bile in the open palm of the black blind man.

"I really have no cash. If you are willing, this thing is very valuable. You may not be able to afford it even if you work in the crop fields for several years."

Although the black blind man had a smile on his face, he didn't mean to be joking at all. Xu Er looked at the bear bile that was still stained with blood, suppressed the acid water that had been turned up, and shook his head slightly.

Unexpectedly, the blind man didn't give in at all. He raised his head and threw the bear bile into his mouth, and then swallowed it with a "gulu".

"You don't know the goods... Then I'll get you something else..."

Xu Er was still shocked by the fact that the black blind man swallowed the bear's bile as if it were raw and drinking blood. Unexpectedly, the black blind man swung his short knife and cut off all four palms of the black bear in three strokes, and quickly skinned the black bear.

.

Like a skilled butcher, he tied up the bear paws and skins with a rope and threw them to Xu Er.

"You can take this thing back, keep it for yourself, or hand it over in exchange for work points, it's up to you..."

Xu Er saw that the black blind man was so familiar with the job of skinning and cutting off bear paws. He really didn't dare to think about whether if he continued to bargain, there would be another ball of red meat in this forest, so he had to silently remove the bear skins and bear paws.

Put it away and carry it behind your back.

These rewards were indeed beyond his imagination. At least he knew that as long as he obeyed, the black blind man would not make things difficult for him, and maybe there would be other windfalls.

The two of them stepped on the pine needles and broken soil scattered on the ground and walked forward. The black blind man was blind and he kept walking forward without even looking at the compass. Sometimes he would suddenly say to himself:

"Wrong...this way..."

If Xu Er hadn't talked to him about his father's experience, he would have felt that the blind man knew where the big stone ditch was.

He stumbled forward like this all the way until the pine trees became more and more sparse, and he should be approaching the edge of the pine forest. The black blind man obviously speeded up his pace and took the lead to reach the last few pine trees. There was already an empty space in front of him.

Xu Er quickly chased after him and walked to Heixiazi. He found that the pine forest where the two were in was actually a high ground, and in a small basin below, there were numerous tombs. Most of the stone tablets were dilapidated, and even the coffins were in ruins.

They were all exposed, and all the bones inside had been chewed clean by unknown beasts.

Under the weeds on the edge of the mound that was originally the grave, you can still see small blocked holes, and occasionally some furry heads peeking out.

"This smells like death. It's definitely right to go this way, right?"

The blind man asked Xu Er with a half-smile. Xu Er couldn't help but shudder. He felt as if the two rows of white teeth of the blind man had chewed dead human flesh.

No wonder the blind man would adjust his route just now when he was walking, and he didn't need a compass at all. It turned out that he relied on the so-called smell of death to locate his position.

Of course Xu Er couldn't smell the smell of death. Not to mention how many years had passed in this large area of ​​barren graves. All of these graves had been dug. The coffins were basically open and empty inside.

The smell of death has long since dissipated.

This piece of barren graves should be the hundreds of random graves that Xu Er's father mentioned after walking ten miles through the forest. After passing through this mass grave, we should reach the final destination.

Now that I think about it, the evil tomb-robber monk known as Ba Kun once led his followers to find the Cang Shen Bureau, and he must have passed by this mass grave. With his bandit style, he certainly didn't care what was buried in this mass grave.

Whether they are rich people or ordinary people, let’s dig them all.

The coffins that Xu Er and Heixiazi saw were all exposed and opened, which was certainly a good thing they did.

Arriving here, Xu Er backed down again. But the black blind man did not intend to let him stop here, but strode down to the mass grave basin below.

When he walked away, he seemed to be carrying a natural command of "Follow me", so Xu Er had to follow him and continue walking down.

It was broad daylight at this time, and the coffin here had been hanging out for who knows how many years. There was not a single ghost that could be seen in the coffin. But at the other end of the barren tomb, there was another cliff hundreds of meters high. No matter how hard you looked, it was impossible to climb over it.

Hei Xiazi led Xu Er all the way to the edge of the mass grave and walked slowly along the cliff. He walked a few steps, turned to Xu Er and said, "It seems there is no way. Are you lying to me?"

The black blind man's smile always gave Xu Er a chilling feeling. He remembered that when the black blind man was disemboweling and skinning the black bear just now, he also wore this kind of frightening smile.

However, when the black blind man saw Xu Er's frightened expression, he seemed to suddenly feel bored. He shook his head slightly and walked straight to a big tree in front of him.

This big tree looked particularly eye-catching among the mass graves, but after all, it was just a tree. Xu Er didn't think there was anything unusual about it.

The black blind man pointed to the crown of the tree and said, "Look at this tree, isn't it a little crooked?"

Xu Er looked in the direction pointed by the black blind man and found that the tree was indeed a little crooked, and it was facing the direction of the pine forest they came from. Based on Xu Er's habitual thinking, he immediately thought that this was a tree that had become a spirit.

, I stopped alone by the mass grave, yearning to return to the pine forest.

But he suddenly remembered that his father once told him that the direction of the tree crown will reflect the direction of the wind. Since this tree has always been leaning towards the pine forest, it means that the wind has always been blowing from the other side.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at the mountain wall on the other side of the big tree.

The black blind man seemed very satisfied with his reaction and waved him to the mountain wall next to the tree. The black blind man scratched slightly with a short knife and immediately discovered the clues.

On the mountain wall with the tree crown facing the opposite direction, there is a part that is obviously different from the surrounding overall rock walls. It is more like being piled up with stones and yellow mud, and after being reinforced over time, it has become integrated with the mountain wall.

The blind man took out a square thing from his backpack. Seeing Xu Er looking at him intently, he waved his hand and said, "Kid, don't look around. Go aside and wait."

Xu Er had no choice but to obediently walk slowly in the direction pointed by the blind man, but before he could get away, the blind man suddenly ran past him and rushed towards the back of a sunken mountain wall.

Xu Er instinctively pulled out his legs and ran after the blind man. When the two of them got behind the sunken mountain wall, a loud "bang" sounded not far away, which shocked Xu Er's eyes and double vision.

My ears are also buzzing.
