Chapter 15 Siege and Killing
Chapter 15 Siege and Killing
After a while, shouting and cursing sounded again in the Wang family's courtyard, and two figures walked towards the gate.
The first one to come forward was the more muscular one, Wang Peng, the father of the two brothers Wang Wen and Wang Wu: "...You two good-for-nothings, can't that little bitch play with you anytime? Why must she do it tonight? You should have been drowned when you were born! It would have been better than pissing me off to death! I won't wait for him, you—"
He walked and cursed, but when he was almost at the door, he stopped cursing and glared at Wang Wu. Wang Wu, who was carrying a bow and arrow, a hunting fork, and a rope and iron clamp hanging around his waist, also stopped quickly, and his father glared at him in confusion. After a while, Wang Peng asked angrily, "Did you bring everything?"
He quickly looked at himself guiltily: "I... have everything."
Wang Peng slapped him in the face: "Did you bring everything?"
Wang Wu covered his face and sounded like he was about to cry: "Did I bring them all?"
"Where's the oil paper?" Wang Peng slapped him again, causing him to stagger. "Are you going to carry the tiger bones in your hands to the town master? Huh!?"
Wang Wu immediately trotted to the wing room. Wang Peng then pouted and angrily strode towards the door, then saw a bunch of things lying on the ground.
He frowned, exclaimed, stretched out his foot to kick it, and found that the thing flashed a metallic color in the moonlight. He was slightly stunned, bent over to pick it up, and then couldn't help exclaiming again.
Although this thing was light, it was quite flexible in the hand, and there was a layer of... copper wire inside? It felt very soft, like gold wire. He immediately walked to the front door and pushed it, but found that it was still locked. He lowered his head to look at the thing in his hand, and quickly strode back to the house to light the oil lamp in the main hall.
The oil lamp was not very bright. Wang Peng brought the object in his hand close to the flame and looked at it carefully. He saw that the copper or gold wire was extremely fine and dense, like a layer of cloth, but he didn't know what kind of beast's skin it was made of. There were some long white whiskers in it, which looked like white threads.
He drew the dagger from his waist and carefully scratched a golden thread with the tip of the knife, but found that not even a scratch was left... So this was neither copper, nor gold or silver, but judging from its softness, it definitely could not be iron!
Wang Peng's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but come up with a guess -
Could this unusual thing be sent by the Qi-refining master who asked for tiger bones beside the town master?
Jinshui Town is not a big town, but it is not too small either. It often has disputes with several surrounding towns. In the past few years, the town owner has not been able to find a master to serve him. He has been very anxious. A few days ago, a traveling Qigong master passed by here and agreed to stay for a while. Wang Peng had seen him from a distance before. He only knew that he was a young man named Zhao Qi. He thought at that time that he was a man with no knowledge and no skills. But now, you can't judge a person by his appearance. Is he so generous? Because he sympathizes with me and has to work hard to hunt tigers for him in the middle of the night?
Thinking of this, he shook the thing open. He saw that it actually had two gloves attached to the cuffs, and a hood with holes for the eyes, which looked like it had been peeled off from some ape.
Wang Peng was short and stocky, and the sleeves were a bit narrow. He tried to put his arm in, and found that it was extremely flexible. His arm immediately stretched it open, and then stretched it tightly, as if it were his second skin. It felt warm to the touch, and the soft white lines inside separated it by a little space, so it didn't make people feel very uncomfortable, but rather quite comfortable.
His anger at not being able to find the boss suddenly subsided a lot. He immediately took off his clothes and put on the thing carefully.
It fits him perfectly, as if it was tailor-made for him.
Wang Peng couldn't help but laugh. He was about to pace a few steps in the room, but he suddenly felt his body tighten, followed by a sharp pain in his upper body, as if countless sharp thorns were drilling into his flesh!
He screamed and tried to take it off immediately. However, when he grabbed the "lapel" on his chest with both hands, he found that it had sunk into his skin! He screamed once and couldn't scream anymore because it was too painful. It made his muscles tense and even his throat choked! He desperately dug his fingers into his chest and finally got them into the gap of the leather. His body suddenly fell back and hit the wall, and finally he opened the two pieces of leather on his chest a little bit.
He saw that the things that he thought were white lines before had already stuck to his skin and flesh, and were still wriggling madly towards his body. They were originally white, but now had turned blood red!
Wang Peng was so frightened that he trembled all over. He hurriedly crawled forward a few steps to grab the fallen dagger. He didn't care whether it would hurt himself or not. He stabbed his chest several times. However, the skin on the surface was cut open, but the golden net underneath could not be broken! He wanted to stab a few more times, but he felt that his strength was rapidly fading away. After only a few more breaths, he suddenly felt an itch in his throat, which was completely blocked by a large mass of something. His back felt cold, and he fell to the ground with a bang. He could not feel anything below his lumbar spine. He could only be like a fish that had fallen to the ground, tense and spasming.
But at this time Wang Wu also heard the sound in the house, and immediately kicked open the door and rushed in with a hunting fork.
With the light from the table, he saw his father lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, staring at him with a pair of bloodshot eyes, and raising a hand tremblingly. He immediately shouted, "Dad! What's wrong with you? Dad!"
He rushed over while shouting, trying to bend down -
But suddenly he stopped, closed his mouth tightly, and quickly took two steps back.
Wang Peng's eyes widened even more, and the hand he raised in the air trembled as if being tossed around by someone. But Wang Wu took another step back, gritting his teeth: "Bah! Good! Old man! Aren't you going to drown me?! I've told my brother many times that when you're too old to move, we'll kill you! Hehe! Good days are coming early! Where does it hurt? Hmm? It'll hurt you to death!"
When Wang Peng heard this, his eyes opened wider, almost cracked, and his body jerked up as if he was about to jump up. Wang Wu frightened him and took another step back, but then he realized that his father was left with only the flesh on his face and neck, still trembling wildly and trying to open his mouth, as if he was going to curse again.
Wang Wu then took a few deep breaths, raised his hunting fork to give himself courage, walked to Wang Peng and squatted down, staring at him fiercely: "Scold? You curse? What else do you want to curse, you old fool!?"
“…Zizzi…” Wang Peng made a sound from his giggling mouth.
Wang Wu grinned and deliberately put his head close to his face: "What did you say? I can't hear you clearly!"
“…Ziz…Ziz…Go!”
Wang Wu was stunned: "What are you saying, you old man——"
Only then did he see, in the flickering light of the oil lamp, that his father's body was tightly bound by a layer of skin. He blinked subconsciously, wanting to get closer to observe -
Wang Peng's body suddenly spasmed and his mouth opened. A large mass of white beard covered with blood gushed out and wrapped around Wang Wu's face with a snap!
Welcoming our chief leader, a man in his 30s! As always, I'm begging for votes!
