Chapter 2005 Something Happened to the "Adult"
Chapter 2005 Something Happened to the "Adult"
As Yinding stood up, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by the muffled sound of broken wood boards, and the door of the broken woodshed was kicked to one side.
Zhou Lie rushed in with a few strong men, and there were more than a dozen people standing outside the door.
As soon as Zhou Lie came up, he grabbed Yinding's collar, and the collar was so tight that it tightened Yinding's throat.
"Where did you go with those two men last night?" Zhou Lie's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, and his saliva splashed on Yin Ding's face. His chest was heaving violently, and he was obviously very angry.
Yinding's eyelids drooped, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said slowly: "Mr. Zhou forgot? Didn't I tell you to find a place, kill him, and throw him away?"
"You dare to lie to me?!" Zhou Lie's teeth were grinding, his other hand pressed on the knife handle at his waist, his eyes fierce and murderous, "Have you been to a cave?"
Yinding blinked suddenly, his eyes full of confusion, as if he had never heard of it before: "What cave? I just followed the assassin last night, saw that forest, and saved someone. How? Besides the forest, there are caves that can hide people?"
"Stop playing dumb!" Zhou Lie's voice suddenly rose. The men around him couldn't help but take a half step forward, but were forced back by his imposing manner. "If you don't tell the truth, I'll chop off one of your arms first!"
Yinding immediately frowned, his shoulders hunched slightly, and he looked like he was really scared. His voice became weaker: "No, no, no, Master Zhou, calm down. Let me think... I think I have seen such a place before."
He scratched his head, looking like he was trying hard to recall something. "I ran into them yesterday when I was chasing those two. I stepped on a bone and it blew white. I was so scared that I almost fell."
"And then?!" Zhou Lie moved forward half an inch, growling in his throat. He obviously had no patience to listen to anything else.
Yinding's eyes darted around twice, the fear on his face intensifying, his voice trembling, "There's nothing else to say, Master Zhou. When I saw that pile of bones, my soul nearly flew away. How could I dare to stay any longer? I turned around and ran out, and when I came out I ran into those two men."
"How dare you talk nonsense!" Wang Tou, who was standing behind him, suddenly shouted angrily and took a step forward. "He must have been to the cave, otherwise the adults wouldn't..."
"Shut up!" Zhou Lie suddenly turned around and glared at him. The hostility in his eyes made Wang Tou shut up instantly. He swallowed the rest of the sentence back and his neck shrank unconsciously.
Yinding's heart skipped a beat, and he caught a glimpse of Zhou Lie's ears turning slightly red, obviously because he was poked by Wangtou.
"Sir"? The "sir" in this sentence is definitely not Zhou Lie, so what is it?
A thought suddenly popped up in his mind—the monster he saw in the cave last night! Could it be that he had fed those two men to the monster, and now something had gone wrong with the monster, so Zhou Lie was anxious to ask him?
Yin Ding almost couldn't help laughing, but his face became more and more panicked, and he even shrank back, as if frightened by Zhou Lie's anger: "Master Zhou, don't be angry, what I said is true.
If I really knew something, how could I hide it from you? But who is the 'master' that Brother Wang mentioned? Is there someone else in that cave?"
Zhou Lie's face became even uglier. He tightened his grip on Yinding's collar, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" Zhou Lie could only utter one sentence in the end, but his tone was weaker than before. His chest was still heaving violently. He was obviously still angry, but he was bound by the word "adult".
The silver ingot became clearer and clearer, and the calculations in his mind began to click.
It seems that he really hit the jackpot. This monster hiding in the cave is indeed unusual, and it is very likely that something has happened.
There is something good to watch now.
He deliberately lowered his head and said in a timid voice, "Yes, yes, I won't ask anymore. If Master Zhou doesn't believe me, how about I take you to the cave to have a look? I'm just timid, so you have to protect me when we get there and don't let me step on your bones again."
These words hit Zhou Lie's sore spot. The place he least wanted to go now was the cave.
"No need!" Zhou Lie gritted his teeth and let go of his hand. Yinding staggered back two steps and fell to the ground. He rubbed his neck and looked aggrieved.
Zhou Lie stared at him, his eyes full of threats. "Think carefully about where those two men went, and what happened in the cave. If you remember anything, you must report it to me immediately! If you dare to hide it from me..."
He patted the knife at his waist: "You know the consequences."
Yinding nodded quickly, his head nodding like pounding garlic: "I know, I know. I will think about it carefully and tell Master Zhou as soon as I remember it."
Zhou Lie glared at him fiercely, then turned around and gouged Wang's head, then turned around and left with his men. Before leaving, he did not forget to kick the firewood on the ground, and the firewood rolled all over the ground. He did not even look at the silver ingot again.
After the footsteps completely disappeared, Yinding slowly stood up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could no longer be hidden.
An unexpected success? This was clearly a blessing from heaven.
It seems that Zhou Lie is in for a lot of trouble this day.
Mu Wan, who was standing beside him, had a pale face from fear. Only after she saw Zhou Lie leave did she pat her chest.
"Oh my God, I was scared to death."
Yinding looked at her: "What are you afraid of? I'm not going to kill you."
Mu Wan blinked his eyes: "That's not necessarily true. This matter was originally caused by me. What if he wants to kill me to vent his anger?"
Yinding sat down, stopped talking, and squinted his eyes as if thinking about something.
Mu Wan came over and asked, "What cave did you really go to?"
"What? Are you interested?" Yinding asked back.
Mu Wan sat down next to him, holding her chin with both hands. "Yeah, people are always interested in things they don't know or haven't seen before."
"Hey, tell me, what's in the cave? What bones?"
Yinding shook his head: "I advise you not to ask."
"I won't tell anyone else. There's no one else involved. I might die someday. Just satisfy my curiosity."
Yinding looked at her and sighed: "Okay, I'll tell you."
"Don't be afraid, I tell you."
Mu Wan's eyes widened.
"In there, there are... human bones, and... ghosts!"
Yinding suddenly increased his volume, startling Mu Wan and leaning back.
"Aren't you afraid?" Mu Wan asked.
"Of course I was scared, that's why I came out," Yinding said seriously, "I value my life very much, I can't die in this shabby place."
Mu Wan looked at him: "Have you found a way to escape?"
Yin Ding sighed: "That's not the case, but as long as people think of a way, there will be one."
Mu Wan pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Yinding glanced at her and said, "What? Did I scare you?"
Mu Wan shook his head.
They were chatting in the woodshed while Zhou Lie was working hard outside.
