Card Room - 346. Mime private 496

【Chapter 496, Mysterious Organization】

Ye Qi and Shao Qingge are not real robbers after all. Seeing the man trembling with fright, Ye Qi said with relief: “Don’t be afraid, we don’t want to kill you. It’s just that I’m hungry these days and come find something to eat.” I scanned the cellar and found that there were quite a lot of stocks in the cellar. There were several bags of sweet potatoes, as well as pickled pickles and dried steamed buns.

Shao Qingge saw this too, and couldn’t help but smile and pat his shoulder: “You are pretty good at living.”

The man said with a bitter face: “You, since you are only looking for food, I will give it to you, and beg the two heroes to spare me! Save me some, don’t take them all…”

Shao Qingge said: “Don’t worry, if you save so much food, neither of us can take it away. Besides, walking on the road with these things on your back, isn’t it tempting others to fight for it?”

Pretending to be contemplative, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then smiled and made a suggestion, “Why don’t we do this, our brother stays with you. If we encounter someone else robbed in the future, the three of them will be able to deal with it. What do you think?”

The man was stunned: “Stay, stay?”

Ye Qi looked around the cellar, with a look of admiration: “My brother is right, it’s quite spacious. We two outsiders have no place to live, so let’s live in the cave with you.” She turned around to find a place and spread some hay to make two simple beds, which meant “I stay here and don’t leave.”

man:”……”

Not to mention the robbery, but also occupy his den, these two people are too much.

But two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Moreover, the two of them are armed with martial arts at first sight, and they did not want his life to rob all of the food. They are much better than the bandits who went to his shop a few days ago to beat and rob. …… Make mistakes first?

The man’s eyes rolled round and round, obviously wondering how to respond.

Shao Qingge wanted to violently subdue him, forcing him to cooperate with the investigation. However, although this person has a rather daunting character, his brain is very clever. If the two keep pushing him, maybe this guy will stabbed in the back or run away in the middle of the night, which would be self-defeating. If you want him to really cooperate, maybe you can change the way.

For example, let him treat them as friends and talk silently?

Thinking of this, Shao Qingge said softly: “Don’t worry, we have no grievances with you, and there is no need to kill you.” After saying this, he took the initiative to let go of the other party.

Ye Qi and Shao Qingge are connected. Of course, they know Shao Qingge’s thoughts and immediately cooperate with them: “I just caught you directly because I was afraid of some gangsters hidden in this cave. After all, there was famine everywhere, and many people went crazy. It’s just as unreasonable. The silver and food brought by our two brothers were all robbed by the people in your town.”

Xiaoye is witty. In this way, he can find an excuse to investigate the location of the gangster in the town.

The man was stunned by what they said, but he noticed that their tone was softened, not like brutal robbers, so the man resigned his fate to stop resisting, gritted his teeth, and said, “Well, you just stay here for now. In my place, but don’t go out and be found out, otherwise, all these things I have will be robbed.”

Ye Qi nodded: “I know. We are going to starve to death. Can you find something to eat for both of us first?”

The man turned around and looked for a few sweet potatoes.

Since roasted sweet potatoes are easy to give off a fragrant taste, he tried to make a temporary stove in the underground cave, used the saved coal to make a fire, put the sweet potatoes in a pot and cooked them, and cooked them more at a time. You could eat them. a few days. The remote location of his yard, coupled with the cover of the underground cave, makes it difficult to attract outsiders’ attention.

Seeing that he was busy with hot sweet potatoes, Shao Qingge walked to sit next to him and asked, “What’s the name of this brother?”

The other party said: “My name is Ren Yuan.”

Shao Qingge smiled and said, “My name is Shao Xiaoge, and this is my brother Shao Xiaoye.”

Ye Qi: “………………”

Why do you want me to give your last name every time? Can’t your surname be Ye?

Ye Qi’s complaints were received by Shao Qingge’s heart and soul. The man smiled and looked at him. He did not intend to change his words. He continued to make up the story seriously: “Our brother is a foreign business. There is famine everywhere this year. I was robbed by a group of thieves a month ago. The two of us finally escaped and stopped and went all the way, but when we walked into your town, our money and dry food were also robbed by a group of people.”

With a sympathetic expression on Ren Yuan’s face, he gritted his teeth and said: “It must have been robbed by the gang of Hounds!”

Ye Qi and Shao Qingge looked at each other.

——The key clue finally appeared.

Hounds, this organization was just a brutal organization that made a living by robbing houses and eating human flesh 20 years ago. At that time, Chu Huaying asked a surviving homeless man in the small town to inquire about it. The homeless man also mentioned this organization.

Ye Qi immediately asked with interest: “Big Brother Ren knows where these people are? The packages that my brother and I took were robbed by them. I want to find them back. There are many mothers left for us. Valuable things.”

Ren Yuan hurriedly shook his head and said: “I advise you not to go. The hounds are brutal and crowded. You two will definitely not be able to beat them. If you go, you will only be arrested as human sacrifices… …” At this point, he seemed to realize that he had said something that shouldn’t be said, and immediately closed his mouth pale.

Shao Qingge raised his brows lightly and continued to ask him: “Human beasts? What is that?”

Ren Yuan gritted his teeth and refused to say more. He opened the lid and fished out two hot sweet potatoes. He said, “You two should have something to eat first. These are the sweet potatoes I cooked last night and some radishes. Do it, just eat together.”

Since Ye Qi and Shao Qingge had set up a person who was “hungry for several days” for themselves, in order not to arouse his suspicion, the two had to take the food, pretending to be hungry, and gulped.

Shao Qingge couldn’t help frowning as soon as he took a bite. These were the most unpalatable sweet potatoes and dried radishes he had ever eaten.

The sweet potatoes are half-baked, they are hard and have no taste at all, and they don’t have the normal sweet taste of sweet potatoes after being left for a long time; let alone dried radishes, they are almost like gnawing wood.

Turning his head to see, Ye Qi was eating with gusto. Thinking of his experience of eating leaves alone in the nightmare secret room, Shao Qingge’s heart couldn’t help but feel a tingling—when will such days end? Open your eyes, there may be bugs, zombies, wolves, and they are still being sent to the world of famine.

The challenger is like a pawn at the mercy of others, which feels terrible. The answer to the puzzle must be found as soon as possible and there is a way to go back.

Thinking of this, Shao Qingge simply took out the [Sapphire Necklace] card from his arms. With a flash of light on his fingertips, a delicate necklace appeared in his hand.

Shao Qingge handed the necklace to Ren Yuan, and whispered: “Brother Ren, this is the only piece of jewelry left on our brothers. The house was robbed, and now we fled here. The packages and dry food were all given by the bandits in Qingfeng Town. Snatch it. We are not ruthless people either. We can only use this thing as a reward for eating your food and living in your burrow.”

Ren Yuan looked at the necklace with a look of surprise. It was a gem he had never seen before. Even in a dimly lit cave, it was shining brightly. It must be invaluable, right? It seems that the brothers were originally the children of the rich family. Now that the trouble is here, the treasure is robbed, and they are still hungry to the point of eating sweet potatoes with him. It is really miserable.

Shao Qingge noticed that Ren Yuan’s expression had obviously relaxed his vigilance, and the sapphire necklace’s “increasing favorability” function seemed to be effective. Last time in Q secret room, he carefully copied one before sending it out, and now it comes in handy.

Ren Yuan took Shao Qingge’s necklace and asked curiously: “This chain is really beautiful, it must be expensive?”

Shao Qingge smiled and said: “Our family is in the jewelry business. We made this jewelry by ourselves. When the famine passes, Brother Ren can use it in exchange for some silver taels and redecorate your shop.”

Ren Yuan wanted to refuse, but he felt that he had saved the brothers who were in trouble, and it would be considered too much to get some compensation? So he happily accepted it.

Shao Qingge had been in the business field and had a strong ability to observe words and behaviors. Seeing that the other party looked lax, he immediately asked: “By the way, what exactly does Brother Ren mean by hunting dogs and human sacrifices?”

Ren Yuan’s face was still pale when he heard the word “human animal”. He was silent for a while before lowering his voice and tremblingly, “Brother Shao, this matter is a long story…”

Ye Qi hurriedly said: “You can tell, we can’t get out anyway. We have time to listen to you. The more detailed the better.”

Ren Yuan sighed and said: “This year’s drought for three months, the harvest of food is not as good as before. Many people in the small town can’t get enough to eat. Everyone reluctantly relies on food storage for a few months, thinking that there will be disaster relief in the state. The mayor will try to find a way when the food is distributed, but after waiting for a long time, there is still no food for relief.”

“Gradually, the town became chaotic. At first, a few scattered people came out to rob and went to some orphans and widows who were easy to bully to eat. Later, it became more and more excessive, and the robbers formed gangs. They robbed most of the people in the small town of all their grains, and then went to the nearby mountain to occupy the mountain as the king, and built a cottage.”

The mountain behind the woods? Isn’t it the mass grave after twenty years?

Ye Qi and Shao Qingge had an idea in their minds at the same time—could it be that this is the reason why the murderer led all those people to the mass grave when the murderer committed the crime?

Ye Qi asked: “The cottage you are talking about is the Hound Organization?”

Ren Yuan shook his head: “No, this cottage was set up casually by some mobs. They roared around and didn’t accept anyone. Later, they all messed up and killed each other. It is said that not long after, there were a few people in the night. He hacked this group of gangsters and ran away with gold and silver treasures. There were corpses everywhere on the mountain.”

Shao Qingge asked: “What’s the matter with the Hound Organization?”

Ren Yuan said, “That was an organization secretly established by some people in the town a few days ago. They wear masks every time they go out. No one can see their true colors. They will lead a dog and smell it. People, so the people in town call them hounds. Not only will they grab food and gold and silver jewelry, they will also take people away.”

Ye Qi pretended to be surprised and said: “Catch people? That’s what you said…human sacrifice?”

“That’s right. They caught people and kept them in the largest pigsty in the town, eating human flesh and drinking human blood!” Ren Yuan said pale and honest. There was a scream from a child. I secretly glanced through the crack of the door and saw them take the child away with my own eyes. I also said that I went back to cook for a drink in the evening.”

Ye Qi and Shao Qingge: “…”

It seems that many people who survived have actually heard of the brutal methods of this mysterious organization.

It’s just that the people in the Hound Organization also know that this practice is conscientious, and they wear masks when they act at night, and no one can clearly judge who these people really are.

It is precisely because of this that the “Ghost Murder” that began many years later is easier for people in the small town to accept-after all, many people did do things that are not as good as animals during the famine year, and they survived by eating the same kind. Afterwards, the revenge from the ghost seemed to be justified.

Therefore, even if there are many people in the town who disappeared inexplicably on the eve of the Zhongyuan Festival, no one went to ask the truth. They were more willing to believe that it was the retribution of a causal reincarnation-the retribution of a ghost.

Who will be the “great ghost” 20 years from now?
