Merchant of the Underworld

Li Mazi and I were nervous and stared at the big cock. The big rooster lay quietly on the bed, seeming to be asleep, quite peacefully.

The lazy guy probably wasn't asleep either, because I could hear his heavy breathing. No matter how courageous you are, when your life is threatened, you probably don't want to sleep, right?

As time passed by, I was always in a state of high tension, which made me feel very tired, but I still didn't dare to relax at all.

Finally, the big cock moved!

It jumped up from the bed in a flash, and then flapped its wings crazily and jumped around. I knew that it must have sensed danger.

Animals' sense of danger is several times stronger than that of humans.

But soon, the big rooster became quiet. It lay motionless on the ground, looking in the direction of the bedroom door in horror.

I know, it must have seen something!

Suddenly, the big rooster raised its neck and looked at us.

My heart skipped a beat. The situation was not good. Could it be that the evil creature had exposed my trick?

The eyes of the big rooster are pale and pale. For some reason, when I look at it, I always feel that its eyes are full of ridicule and contempt. It didn't seem like the look in the eyes of a chicken at all, but... the look in the eyes of a person.

Just when I was staring at the rooster in a daze, Li Mazi suddenly asked inexplicably: "Brother Zhang, why are you filming me?"

I shivered immediately because I had never touched Li Mazi before.

Seeing something wrong with my face, Li Mazi was also surprised and realized that there was something behind us!

Just as he was about to turn around, I shook my head slightly at him, then took out a small mirror and pointed it behind me.

In the mirror, a tall figure indeed appeared.

This figure was pitch black from top to bottom, like a dark cloud. You could only vaguely see that he was wearing a set of armor used in ancient wars, revealing a pair of bright red eyes, which was very scary.

But soon, the figure disappeared from the mirror.

It seems that this is what is hidden in the blue and white porcelain!

I stood up and prepared to chase him, but Li Mazi pulled me in fear and said, "Brother Zhang, look at that lazy guy."

"What's wrong with the lazy guy?" I looked down and was shocked and speechless.

At this moment, the lazy man crawled out from under the bed, grabbed the big cock's neck with both hands, opened his mouth and bit it.

The big cock was in unbearable pain and kept flapping its wings, struggling desperately.

Its reaction made the lazy man even more excited. The lazy man bit it one bite after another, and finally tore off the entire chicken head, leaving his mouth full of chicken feathers.

Li Mazi and I were horrified when we saw it, but we didn't stop him because we didn't know how the lazy man offended the blue and white porcelain?

The lazy man suddenly dropped the chicken in his hand and walked out of the house.

His posture was very strange, with his toes raised high and his body leaning forward, like a praying mantis. It was wobbly when I walked, but no matter what, I just didn't fall down.

At this moment, he was covered in chicken blood and his upper body was naked. If an unsuspecting villager saw it, he would definitely be frightened to death, right?

Li Mazi and I cautiously followed behind the lazy man.

Along the way, I was thinking about the black figure I had just seen in the mirror.

Judging from the armor worn by the figure, it seems to be the unique attire of the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty, and he is also a general-level figure.

So the question is, how could a blue and white porcelain vase be related to a Qing Dynasty general?

We know that the blue and white porcelain comes from the imperial palace. Could it be made from the teeth and nails of a certain general? But why do this? You must know that the ancients particularly believed in laying their bodies in peace. As long as their minds were clear, they would never mess with their bodies, not to mention that the other party was a high-ranking general.

In this way, we followed the lazy man to the willow forest outside the village.

In the middle of the night, not even the moonlight could penetrate into the willow forest, and there was a thick black mist everywhere. It was even muddy underfoot, and the environment was harsh.

What I'm most worried about now is that the night is too dark and we will lose the lazy people.

Fortunately, the lazy man's speed has been slow and has not disappeared from our sight.

Just when we were wondering why the lazy man came to the woods, he climbed up a willow tree neatly and broke off many branches.

What does it mean?

Li Mazi and I looked at each other in confusion, unable to understand the lazy man's purpose.

When the branches were almost broken, the lazy man jumped down from the willow tree, tied the branches into a bundle, then carried them behind him and ran forward quickly.

I was now sure that we had been discovered, because the lazy man had just deliberately passed by where Li Mazi and I were hiding, and even turned to look at us.

Those red eyes seemed to be full of disdain and contempt.

As Li Mazi and I chased, we thought about the lazy man’s purpose.

I said: "I seem to know what he is going to do..."

Li Mazi asked curiously: "What is he going to do?"

"I apologize." I replied.

"Bearing a thorn to plead guilty?" Li Mazi was shocked: "Who is he trying to plead guilty to?"

"I don't know, keep following." I said.

If a lazy man bears a thorn to plead guilty, he must have offended something.

It seems that the blue and white porcelain is not unreasonable when it comes to him!

It suddenly dawned on me that the blue and white porcelain must not be a dangerous thing. As long as we find the reason why the lazy man offended it and give it some trouble, the matter can be solved smoothly.

As I thought about it, most of the worries in my heart disappeared.

The lazy man ran to an acre of rice fields in one breath, then knelt on the ground, pulled out a willow branch, and slapped his back hard.

Each willow branch was whipped once and then thrown to the ground.

After pulling out all the willow branches on his back, the lazy man suddenly began to dig the soil in the rice field.

His movements were fast and heavy, and he cried loudly as he dug and returned. The soil in the rice fields is very soft and can be dug by hand. It didn't take long for the lazy man's fingernails to be dug with blood.

It seems that the problem should lie in this rice field!

I immediately stepped forward, grabbed the lazy man's hair, and stuffed a piece of onion into his mouth.

At first, the lazy man was still struggling, and Li Mazi and I, two grown men, couldn't hold him down. But as he chewed up the onions and ate them, the lazy man's struggle became less and less intense...

It wasn't until the end that the lazy man finally woke up.

Li Mazi and I squatted in the rice field, panting and looking at the lazy man.

The lazy man looked around confusedly, then looked at us again, and vomited out a lot of chopped onions: "I...where am I?"

I sneered: "It seems that you still have something to hide from us. Forget it, Li Mazi, let's go! I've saved you over and over again, but you didn't tell us the truth. Even the gods came and couldn't save you."

After saying that, I turned around and prepared to leave.

But the lazy man rushed up to me, hugged my thigh and said, "Brother Zhang, I really told you everything I know."

"Fart." I cursed angrily: "Have you touched this rice field? Think carefully."

Li Mazi reminded: "Isn't this your family's field? You must have done something bad here."

The lazy man hesitated for a moment, then suddenly slapped his head: "I know, I know, it must be because of that bone..."

"What bone?" I knew that bone must be the key to the problem, so I immediately looked at the lazy man with burning eyes.
