[057] Siege
Zhong Kui remained calm and stared at the eight guys beside him. His inquiring eyes went back and forth, scanning their faces, and asked in his heart: Aren’t they scumbags taken away? Why did they suddenly appear here?
The village chief seemed to see the question in Zhong Kui's heart, with a proud look on his face, and his eyes were bright, and he said bluntly: "If you want to lock me up, you are not qualified. If you want to take over the treasures, you have to ask my brothers if they agree."
Looking at the other party, staring at him with murderous intent, "Caibao?", muttering in a low voice, Zhong Kui looked at the other party's group of people in confusion, observing their facial expressions, it seemed that they did not fool people. What's going on with the saying of Caibao? Before he could ask clearly, the other party had already begun to act like he wanted to attack him.
In Zhong Kui's cognition, humans are more terrifying than ghosts. If they are ghosts, they can easily be subdued. But the other party is a human with consciousness, thoughts, and a fickle and complex mentality.
When the village chief appeared in front of him, he suddenly remembered what Xiao Ming said before and saw the small black dots behind the big ship. These guys should be those small black dots. Maybe they were following them sneakily when they set sail off the shore.
Although Zhong Kui looks rough and stupid on the surface, he also has the ability to think rigorously and concisely! Judging from the current situation, melee fighting cannot fight them. If you forcefully break out of their encirclement, the chance of winning is almost zero! It will take a lot of time. After spending time, you may lose the best time to find Xu Qian and Vanilla.
If he lost Xu Qian and Vanilla in exchange for his temporary ability, Zhong Kuicheng would rather put down his self-esteem and reason with these scumbags than lose them.
With a firm look under his thick eyebrows, he looked 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 his accomplices who were about 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."
"I know, I'm looking for it, and you guys are here. I haven't found it yet, so how can I tell you?"
"Don't fool me?" The village chief took a step forward, looked at the other party in an exploratory manner.
"Puff! What are the benefits of fooling you? Besides, Caibao is not my own. Otherwise, we will work together to find Caibao and find Rushi you like..." Zhong Kui originally wanted to say; if you find Caibao, it will all belong to you. But after thinking, it is wrong. If you say it so bluntly, they may not believe their own words. People have greed, so let themselves pretend to be greedy! Pause for a moment, glance at the guys waiting for his words, and then deliberately coughed and continued: "...it's just divided into 50%..."
When it was confirmed that there was indeed treasure here, the village chief's face was almost laughing.
"Five-five-fold?" The village chief's accomplices blinked with twinkle eyes and whispered in excitement.
However, the village chief disagreed with Zhong Kui's words, and then sneered: "According to me, 37 will be ready! If you want to cooperate, act, not cooperate! Hum!" As he said, his eyes flashed with a cold look.
Needless to ask, Zhong Kui also knew what this guy meant. If he didn't agree to them, they would start a massacre...
"No problem, if you drive bananas, you drive bananas. But I have a 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 saw Xu Qian and Vanilla when they landed, then they could be sure whether they had other accidents, or if they walked into those strange rocky areas, got lost or what was going on.
The village chief blinked his tiny eyes cunningly. He dug his nostrils casually, and a piece of black nose hair appeared in his nostrils, which made people disgusting.
Under the silence of the village chief, Zhong Kui could only learn one-sided information...
It turned out that after being detained for a week, these guys heard the news that Zhong Kui and the others were going to enter the uninhabited island when they returned to the Dead Water Bay.
The legend of treasures on the uninhabited island was revealed after the story told by the centenarian. It is said that the small defeated soldiers actually came to the treasures, and their purpose was to bring the treasures back to their country, but they did not expect to disappear on the uninhabited island.
The village chief said that just after they were about to get close to Zhong Kui and his big ship, they saw Zhiqing, him and Xiao Ming rushing to leave the big ship. They took a detour route, got off the boat and landed on the shore from another location, and then lurked in the sight where Zhong Kui and his every move could be observed.
They also saw two women walking down from the boat, one was Xu Qian and the other was Vanilla. At that time, these guys were secretly happy when they didn't see the others. If they could, they got the two girls and then asked them out of their mouths about the location of Caibao. The idea was simple and perfect. Unfortunately, just as they tiptoed to approach the two girls, they disappeared almost the same way under a tree.
"Damn it," the village chief who was closest to the two girls said angrily. If this strange scene was only seen by others, it might be an illusion. When the accomplices all said they saw it in unison, he was shocked!
The village chief who was about to curse himself suddenly heard the sound of someone running. He quickly whistled and shouted as his accomplices spread out, hiding in a hidden place, and saw Zhiqing and Zhong Kui hugging someone and running out hurriedly.
Zhong Kui and the others supported Xiao Ming, who ran out of the woods, who was scratched by kudzu.
Zhong Kui entered the woods and seemed to be looking for something. This further proves that the legend of treasure on the uninhabited island is not a rumor, but that there is really something like this. Otherwise, what would this ghost hunter look for? His expression is still very nervous.
This is how the incident happened. The village chief's tiny eyes were rolling, highlighting a bit of cunning and cruel eyes, like a weasel.
As for the other Zhong Kui, he could ignore it, but he only caught them and told them that he would not let go of the words when he saw two women getting off the boat and walked to a tree.
"You said you saw them walking to a tree?" He asked seriously, looking at the village chief.
The village chief nodded and said, "Yes, right next to the tree three meters away from the lake."
It was an old locust tree! Zhong Kui went in and out countless times and did not notice this locust tree. Judging from the bare branches of the locust tree and the thick rhizomes pierced into the strata, this tree has at least 500 years of history. If you want to know its age, you have to check the annual rings in the center of its core grassroots tree poles to know.
