Chapter 255 Entering the village secretly
Chapter 255 Entering the village secretly
Three days in the sky.
The heat waves of midsummer rise and fall along the surface of the river, and the surging waves reflect dazzling light.
A piece of open space was cleared in the center of the island, where the wounded lay down to rest. It was surrounded by cloth. Looking out, there was scorching sunlight. The shadows of the trees fell on the ground, as sharp as a knife, with clear boundaries.
The cicadas hiding in the cracks between the branches were chirping desperately, and their eardrums were trembling and leaving afterimages.
Apart from the island here, there is no land within a hundred miles around. I don't know how they got here.
Tuk Tuk.
"Ah Shui, are you there? Are you awake?"
"coming."
Liang Qu waved his hand, and the white mist in the room dissipated, turning into a pool of clear water that flowed into the vortex.
He put on a coat, opened the door, and raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at Ke Wenbin, who was squatting and acting stealthily.
"Brother Ke, what are you doing..."
"Hush, hush, go inside and talk, go inside and talk."
Ke Wenbin winked and pushed Liang Qu into the room. Before closing the door, he deliberately stuck his head out and looked around. After making sure that there was no one, he closed the door.
Liang Qu was confused and had no idea what Ke Wenbin was up to, so he joked.
"Brother Ke, what do you want to do? I don't care. No one cares about you being single, but you are engaged to the granddaughter of Su Daxueshi. If any news gets out, it might not be good."
"Pah, pah, pah, what are you talking about." Ke Wenbin passed Liang Qu and came to the window, looking down, confirming that the environment was safe again, and whispered, "Let's go to the island to fish for treasure together!"
Liang Qu thought: "Fishing for treasure?"
"Yes."
Ke Wenbin pulled out the low stool from under the long table, put it under his buttocks, and sat opposite Liang Qu.
"Tell me, can normal people go up to the island now?"
"No."
Liang Qu shook his head.
The entire central island chain of the island was shrouded in black fog. Not only the islands, but also the surrounding waters were filled with ominous signs.
All living things, even trees, were drained of their vitality, withered and died, it was a horrible sight.
Ordinary martial artists cannot get up there in such an environment, so the soldiers can only wait for a few days for the black fog to dissipate naturally before going to the island to count their military achievements.
"Yeah, so this is our chance. The evil-repelling technique is so difficult to practice. Have you ever used it before today?"
Liang Qu still shook his head.
Ke Wenbin slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, such a difficult thing cannot be practiced in vain, the practice must be rewarded!
Brother Yue Long is a great martial artist, and he can handle it with his strength, but he is leading the team and wants to be a role model, and he can’t be the same as us. Now is our chance!"
Liang Qu understood what Ke Wenbin was going to do.
No one can get to the island right now and have to wait for the black fog to dissipate.
He was the only exception, having mastered a rare method to ward off evil spirits and was not afraid of the erosion of black smoke.
The battle was over, the air was filled with black smoke, and many spoils had not yet been collected and were all piled up on the island!
Opportunity to make a fortune!
But he was a little hesitant.
“Isn’t it bad to sneak onto the island?”
"What's wrong with that? We won't take credit for other people's achievements. We won't touch the things on the corpse. They belong to whoever they are.
Let's go dig for treasure! With so many martial artists, there must be some treasure. We won't take too much, just two or three items.
Don't be so greedy, only take what you can use, don't speculate, and the higher-ups will turn a blind eye and let it go."
There is nothing new under the sun. If you want the horse to run, you have to give it grass.
Ke Wenbin grew up in a family of nobles and was well aware of the unclear "degree".
When they arrive on the island two days later, some supplies will still have to be kept, they are just going to "select in advance".
"how do you feel?"
Liang Qu fell into deep thought.
Before he could give an answer, the sound of footsteps was heard again outside the door, and the footsteps did not pass by his door, but stayed outside the door.
Tuk Tuk.
The knock on the door sounded again.
"Ah Shui, are you there? Are you awake?"
Such a familiar scene...
Liang Qu looked at Ke Wenbin.
"You guys didn't come at a specific time, did you? Do you know when I will wake up?"
Ke Wenbin scratched his temples and raised his toes.
……
Hallway door.
Xiang Fangsu looked around, and before his knuckles left the wooden door, it creaked open.
He withdrew his gaze and was about to speak when he suddenly caught sight of Ke Wenbin behind Liang Qu and changed the subject.
"Wenbin? Why are you here?"
Ke Wenbin asked back: "Why can't I be here?"
Xiang Fangsu was speechless. The atmosphere became strangely silent at this moment.
The ship was shaking slightly, and the sound of the river tide could be heard faintly.
"How about coming in and talking?"
Liang Qu broke the silence.
Xiang Fangsu hesitated for a moment and followed him into the room.
After coming in, he found Liang Qu sitting on the edge of the bed. The only stool was occupied by Ke Wenbin. There was only a toilet bucket and a long desk.
He thought about it, leaned on the long table, and spoke frankly.
"Ke Wenbin is here to see you. This guy is the most sinister. I won't hide anything..."
"Hey, explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by me being the most sinister?"
Xiang Fangsu ignored Ke Wenbin who was rolling up his sleeves and continued, "He came to ask you to go to the island, right?"
Liang Qu glanced at Ke Wenbin and was embarrassed to say no.
"I told you this guy is insidious!"
Ke Wenbin was so annoyed: "Fuck, you're not?"
"At least I wasn't the first one."
Xiang Fangsu spread his hands.
Before the two of them could come to an end of their argument, footsteps were heard outside the door.
The three people in the room held their breath and remained silent.
Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin looked at each other and had an absurd idea.
Is there anyone else coming?
Tuk Tuk.
There was a knock on the door three times.
hiss!
Liang Qu had no choice but to get up and open the door, and there stood Ran Zhongshi outside!
The other two suddenly felt toothache.
Ran Zhongshi didn't say anything, just looked around.
When I saw Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin inside, they looked just as I expected.
"I guessed you were here."
……
The building ship is used for combat transportation, not vacation tourism. Even if there are single rooms, the conditions are limited.
Four people were crammed in at once, making it really crowded.
Ran Zhongshi looked left and right.
Liang Qu was sitting on the bed, a chair was placed under Ke Wenbin's buttocks, Xiang Fangsu was sitting sideways on the long table, and the only thing left was a toilet bucket.
He chose to stand.
Ke Wenbin laughed: "Brother Ran, you are in charge of logistics, I didn't expect that..."
"Hey, hey, hey, stop it. I'm not like you. I'm just here to pass on a message." Ran Zhongshi denied it flatly and said bluntly, "Brother Yue Long said that the big items cannot be touched. For the others, each person can only have two items. No more. Any more will be confiscated!"
The other three people in the room gasped, and the temperature in the room rose another three points.
Do you think your plan has been seen through long ago?
Ran Zhongshi sneered. They grew up together and knew clearly who was not studying well in the clan school and who cheated in the exam. If the elders in the family gave any rewards, they had to be divided equally.
Xu Yuelong was much older than them, so they were not classmates, but the elders all knew each other. They would visit each other during the holidays, or meet frequently to discuss ideas, and they would also often go hunting together in spring and autumn.
When the guys under him stick their butts out, he knows whether they are going to have a dry or watery stool.
"Two is two."
Ke Wenbin and Xiang Fangsu both agreed.
Something is better than nothing.
Liang Qu rubbed his hands, full of anticipation.
He wanted to ask Yang Dongxiong in advance if he could go so that he could have some peace of mind, but with Xu Yuelong's consent, there would be no problem.
He is the second in command of the Pingyang County River and Lake Bureau, and he was ordered to pick up bargains!
Moreover, the island where Grandmaster Zhenxiang died may not be safe. Who knows if there are any strange things left on the island.
It is a good thing to be able to get Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin involved. They are two senior thugs and can help endorse the work, so that if something goes wrong, someone stronger can take the blame.
"When shall we go?"
Ke Wenbin looked at the three suns outside the window and said, "Let's do it at night. It's too hot during the day because there are too many people. It's cooler at night. Let's go get a small boat and say we're going fishing. Then we can go to the island to dig for something."
"Then let's meet again after dinner. Remember to bring your weapons. The island may not be safe."
"it is good."
After a brief discussion of the plan, everyone prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute."
Ran Zhongshi stopped the three people who had stood up and said in a low voice.
"My sister's sword broke off last night... understand me?"
"I understand, I understand."
"Make sure to give Sister Ying a handful of good stuff!"
"Okay, it's okay."
