[057] Siege
Zhong Kui remained calm, staring coldly at the eight guys surrounding him. His probing eyes scanned their faces back and forth, and he wondered in his heart: Weren't these scumbags taken away? Why did they suddenly appear here?
.
The village chief seemed to see the doubts in Zhong Kui's heart. He had a stern look on his face and his eyes were bright, and he said bluntly: "You are not qualified to lock me up. If you want to take the treasure to yourself, you have to ask my brothers."
No answer."
He looked at each other like tigers and wolves, staring at him with murderous intent. "Treasure?" He whispered in a low voice. Zhong Kui looked at the other group of people in confusion, and observed that their facial expressions did not seem to be deceptive. This
Before Cai Baozhi could ask what was going on, the other party had already started to make a move to attack him.
In Zhong Kui's opinion, people are more terrifying than ghosts. If they were ghosts, they could be subdued easily. But the other party is a conscious, thoughtful human being with a fickle and complex mentality.
When the village chief appeared in front of him, he suddenly remembered what Xiao Ming said before about seeing the little black dots behind the big ship. These guys should be those little black dots. Maybe they had been following them sneakily when they set sail away from the shore.
They are coming from behind.
Although Zhong Kui looks clumsy and clumsy on the surface, he also has rigorous and sophisticated logical thinking ability! Judging from the current situation, he cannot defeat them in hand-to-hand combat. If he wants to forcefully break out of their encirclement, he has a good chance of winning.
The probability is almost zero! It will take a lot of time. After the time is wasted, the best opportunity to find Xu Qian and Vanilla may be lost.
If he had to lose Xu Qian and Xianghua in exchange for Zhong Kuicheng's temporary talent, he would rather put down his pride and talk to these scum than lose them both.
The resolute eyes under his thick eyebrows stared at these guys sharply. He raised his hand decisively and shouted: "Wait a minute!"
Seeing that he had something to say, the village chief hurriedly stopped the accomplices who were gearing up to attack Zhong Kui. He curled his lips and said, "That's right! Tell us the location of the treasure quickly, and we will let you go."
"You know, you know, I'm looking for you, so you're here. I haven't found it yet, so how can I tell you?"
"Don't fool me?" the village chief took a step closer and looked at the other person with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Pfft! What's the benefit of me fooling you? Besides, the treasure doesn't belong to me alone. How about we work together to find the treasure, and if we find something you like..." Zhong Kui originally wanted to say; if we find the treasure, it will all belong to you.
But then I thought about it, no, if you say it so straightforwardly, they may not believe what you say. Everyone is greedy, so let yourself be pretending to be greedy! Pause for a moment and glance at those guys who are still there.
Waiting for his words, he deliberately coughed twice and continued: "...just split it into 50-50..."
When it was confirmed that there was indeed treasure here, the village chief almost burst out laughing.
"Fifty-fifty?" The village chief's accomplices whispered excitedly, blinking with dazzling eyes.
The village chief, however, didn't take Zhong Kui's words seriously, and then sneered: "I say, 30-70! If you want cooperation, act, if you don't, hum!" As he spoke, his eyes flashed with a cold look.
No need to ask, Zhong Kui also knew what this guy meant. If he didn't agree to them, they would go on a killing spree...
"No problem, if it's 37, it's 37. But I have one condition. Can you tell me when you landed?" He wanted to find out the details about Xu Qian and Vanilla from the other party. If they were landing
When we were on the shore, we saw Xu Qian and Vanilla, so we could determine whether they had any other accidents, or whether they walked into an area with rugged rocks, got lost, or something else.
The village chief blinked his small eyes slyly. He picked his nostrils casually, and a black nose hair appeared in his nostrils. It was disgusting to look at.
Under the veiled dictation of the village chief, Zhong Kui could only get partial information...
It turned out that when these guys returned to Deadwater Bay after being detained for a week, they heard the news that Zhong Kui and the others were going to station on the uninhabited island.
This legend about the treasure on the uninhabited island was spread after the story told by the centenarian man. It is said that the defeated troops in Xiaoqiao actually came for the treasure, and their purpose was to bring the treasure back with them.
Their country, unexpectedly, disappeared on an uninhabited island.
The village chief said that just after they were about to approach Zhong Kui's big boat, he saw Zhiqing, him and Xiao Ming wading out of the boat. They took a roundabout route, disembarked from the boat and landed on the shore at another location, and then lurked in sight.
Within the scope of observing every move of Zhong Kui and the others.
They also saw two women coming off the boat, one was Xu Qian and the other was Vanilla. At that time, these guys, when they didn't see anyone else, were secretly happy. If possible, get these two girls, and then
The location of the treasure was extracted from their mouths. The idea was simple and perfect. Unfortunately, just when they were tiptoeing to approach the two girls, they both disappeared under a tree almost in unison.
"What a ghost." The village chief closest to the two girls said angrily. If only others saw this strange scene, it might be said to be an hallucination. When his friends all said they saw it in unison, he was shocked!
The village chief, who had just opened his mouth to curse, suddenly heard the sound of someone running. He quickly whistled and ordered his accomplices to disperse and hide in a hidden place. He saw Zhiqing and Zhong Kuiyong supporting a person.
He ran out in a hurry.
The two of them, Zhong Kui, supported Xiao Ming, who was dragged away by kudzu and was scratched all over, as he ran out of the woods.
Zhong Kui went into the woods, seemingly looking for something. This further proves that the legend of treasure on the uninhabited island is not a rumor, but it is real. Otherwise, what is this ghost hunter looking for? He looks very nervous.
Look.
This is what happened. The village chief's tiny eyes moved around, revealing a cunning and ferocious look, just like a weasel.
As for the other Zhong Kui, he can ignore it, but he caught them and told them that he saw two women getting off the boat, walking to a tree and disappearing.
"You said you saw them walking near a tree?" He looked at the village chief and asked seriously.
The village chief nodded and said, "Yes, right next to the tree three meters away from the lake."
That’s an old locust tree! Zhong Kui went in and out countless times without noticing the locust tree. Judging from the tree’s bare branches and the way its thick roots penetrated into the ground, this tree is at least 500 years old.
Chapter completed!
