Chapter 55: Insects
Ringo was startled by Qi Xia's actions and hurriedly came forward to hold him back: "Qi Xia... calm down..."
She didn't understand why Qi Xia, who had always been calm, suddenly became violent.
Qi Xia still didn't let go. He grabbed Dr. Zhao's collar tightly and gritted his teeth and said, "How do you want me to calm down? Do you know how many people I saw die in front of me today?!"
Ringo lowered his head silently after hearing this.
Yes, from the beginning of "Mouse and Men" to the end of Qiao Jiajin and Tiantian, they have experienced too many near-death moments.
"No wonder..." Qi Xia continued, "No wonder when you heard someone coming in, your first reaction was to hit them with a wooden board... You know that Officer Li and Lawyer Zhang will never come back, right?"
Doctor Zhao showed a trace of panic on his face: "No... Qi Xia, listen to me, there is nothing I can do. The two of them really want to die..."
"Death?" Qi Xia snorted coldly, "You have never stepped out of this room, so you know nothing about this place. Officer Li must have talked with Niutou opposite. He found that the games here will not lead to death, but instead It was possible to get the "Tao", so I took Lawyer Zhang with me."
"Huh?" Dr. Zhao showed a puzzled expression. It seemed that this was indeed the first time he heard the news. "Won't he die? How, how could this happen?"
Xiao Ran got up from the ground at this time, wiped the mud on his face, and turned back with an angry look: "Zhao Haibo! Why are you still standing there?! People are bullying us!"
"But, but I..." Dr. Zhao's face obviously didn't look good.
"Trash!" Xiao Ran shouted anxiously, "Why are you such a trash?!"
Qi Xia looked at Xiao Ran and then at Dr. Zhao, suddenly feeling a little discouraged.
How could he have time to quarrel with the two of them here?
Thinking of this, he silently let go of his hand.
Now Qi Xia has completely lost her direction.
Where will Officer Li and Lawyer Zhang go?
Have they seen the "zodiac sign" that begins with the word "地"?
\u003c/di\u003e
Did they participate in a life-betting game?
Are they still alive?
Rustling, rustling.
The chirping of insects outside the door became even louder, as if there was a cricket lying outside, making it impossible to calm down and think.
"Qi Xia, what should we do?" Lin Ye asked with a sad look on his face.
Qi Xia raised her head and asked Dr. Zhao: "Did the two of them say where they were going?"
He held on to his last glimmer of hope.
Officer Li is a cautious person. If he really wants to go far away, he should leave a clue.
"No..." Doctor Zhao shook his head, "But I saw them walking to the right along the street after participating in the Bull Head Game opposite..."
"Right?" Qi Xia looked at the dark sky outside and made a calculation in his mind.
Officer Li probably wouldn't go too far, he just wanted to stay away from these two people.
After all, he had told himself that one day he hoped to meet again and exchange information.
In this case, he should still be active around this area. In addition to the restaurant across the street, he is most likely in the "game room" closest to here.
After determining the general direction, Qi Xia felt confident.
Although it was dark now, he really didn't want to continue to be in the same place with these two people.
So he picked up a wooden stick from the house, walked slowly to Han Yimo's body, and whispered: "Brother, there will be no peace even after death. I have wronged you."
"What are you going to do again?" Xiao Ran asked angrily.
Qi Xia didn't answer, but just tore off a piece of Han Yimo's clothes, wrapped it around the top of a wooden stick, and then took the wooden stick and smeared some dry dirt on the ground.
After doing all this, he walked to the fire in the house and lit the side with the fragments of clothes on it with a simple torch.
It's done.
"Ling Yu, I'm going to go out to look for them." Qi Xia said, "I don't know if there will be danger outside, but I don't want to stay here. Do you want to wait here until dawn? After dawn, whether I find them or not, I will come back. Pick you up."
After hearing this, Lin Yu turned to look at Xiao Ran and the two, and shook his head: "No, I'll go with you."
After saying that, she picked up the pot with bear meat and stood next to Qi Xia.
"What is this..." Dr. Zhao finally found the old aluminum pot, and his eyes shone a little.
"This is..." Ringo paused, then shook his head, "It's nothing."
"Is it food?!" Dr. Zhao immediately took a step forward, "Have you found anything to eat?"
Xiao Ran's expression also changed slightly at this moment: "Is there anything to eat?"
The eyes of the two of them became a little less human, and instead looked like hungry beasts.
Qi Xia pulled Lin Ju behind him, blocked him between several people, and said slowly: "I'm sorry, this thing is not for you to eat."
"Qi, Qi Xia..." Dr. Zhao said tremblingly, "No, Brother Xia... we went a little too far just now, don't take it to heart."
"Yeah..." Xiao Ran also tried his best to squeeze out a smile, "There is no one in this world who doesn't quarrel... Besides, as a grown man, do you really want to be angry with a woman like me? It was all with you just now Just kidding……"
"That's right..." Dr. Zhao and Xiao Ran sang in harmony, "You have a lot of things in this pot. We'll just eat a little. We can't eat them all..."
Qi Xia's face darkened again, and she said, "The things in this pot were earned by Qiao Jiajin with his life. You can go ask him. If he agrees, I have no objection."
When Xiao Ran heard this, her expression changed. After a pause, she rushed directly to the pot.
Qi Xia had expected this move, so she could only sigh helplessly and stretched out her hand to stop her.
"Why, you don't need to "cheat", but "rob" instead?" Qi Xia said with a hint of sarcasm, "There is no place in the world that is "outside the law". I advise you to think carefully. There were policemen in your team "originally."
"You..."
Qi Xia snorted coldly, pushed Xiao Ran away, and walked out of the door with a torch, followed by Ringo.
Only then did Xiao Ran and Dr. Zhao know what it meant to "cook the duck and fly away".
The pot of things with a faint fragrance was clearly in front of them, but they couldn't even touch it.
"Don't leave!" Xiao Ran yelled, and followed Qi Xia out of the door again.
The world outside the door was pitch black except for the dim firelight and the chirping of insects.
What Xiao Ran didn't expect was that Qi Xia and Ringo were standing quietly three steps away from the door, with their backs to her, without moving.
"Huh?"
After a few seconds, she saw Qi Xia and Ringo slowly step back.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Ran asked.
Ringo turned around very stiffly like a robot, with fear in her eyes. She put a finger on her lips and made a gesture of silence.
"Are you sick?" Xiao Ran said unhappily, "You can leave if you want! Leave the pot!"
After saying this, Xiao Ran felt something was wrong.
The torch in Qi Xia's hand illuminated a small area, and something seemed to be moving under the dim firelight.
The next second, Xiao Ran saw what was under the firelight clearly, her eyes widened instantly, and a look of extreme fear appeared on her face.
Right in front of Qi Xia, there was a naked man who was so thin that he looked like a human being and his body was pale.
He was on all fours, with his legs propped up behind him, crawling on the ground in an extremely uncoordinated posture.
On his shriveled face, there were two hollowed-out eye sockets, and his mouth was pouting, making a constant sound:
"Rustle--"
"Rustle--"
