My master is the coffin

Chapter 173 The Toxic Place

I looked at Wushuang nervously: "What is that person doing?"

Wushuang looked at me with both eyes, nervous: "You can't look at this randomly. If we startle the snake, won't we not be able to catch him?"

I was startled: "Are you going to catch him?"

Wushuang gave me a blank look: "Nonsense, or do you think I'm so nervous because I'm afraid?"

I laughed twice and asked, "How do we catch him?"

Wushuang thought for a while and said, "Wait, I'll take a sneak peek."

Then she pretended to straighten her hair, tilted her head, and said to me: "There is a tree about ten steps behind you, and that person is hiding behind the tree. I will outflank you in a while, and you just run over and hold him down." He, don't let him run away."

I touched the mahogany sword in my arms nervously, and nodded.

Suddenly, Wushuang whispered: "Run." Then she pushed me.

I was going to turn around and run over, but it was okay if she didn't push me.When she pushed like this, I immediately staggered two steps and almost fell.

When I wanted to chase the man behind the tree again, I was already spotted by the other party, and he was running back quickly.

Fortunately, there were few trees here, so he couldn't run very far, and I was not slow, so I quickly ran behind him and grabbed his neck.

Before I could take out the mahogany sword, the man fell to the ground.

I held him down and was about to ask a question.Suddenly, dust was flying around, as if thousands of troops rushed over.Startled, I raised my head quickly.

At this time, what came into view was a white thing, which slammed into my arms.I was hit by this blow and fell to the ground.

Then, I saw a large group of sheep running past me like crazy, and some even stepped on me directly.

When the flock finished running, I stood up in embarrassment.I found Wushuang standing opposite me panting.On the ground sat a frightened man in a dirty shirt.

The man looked at Wushuang and me with a frightened expression, searched for a while with trembling lips, and then said: "You two kings, please spare me..."

Wushuang and I were a little discouraged, and I asked him, "Who are you?"

The man said: "I... I... I am, I am herding sheep...sheep."

I scratched my head: "Why are you still stuttering?"

The sheep herder slowed down a little, and said, "Scared...scared, scared."

Wushuang looked at him suspiciously: "You are a sheep herder? What were you doing sneakily behind a tree just now? Did you want to harm us?"

The sheep herder waved his hands again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare."

Wushuang asked: "Then what do you mean?"

The sheep herder said with a bitter face: "The two kings are here. I am afraid that if I come out, I will kill me. I don't know when you two will leave, so I secretly take a look."

The two of us asked for a while, and finally figured it out.

It turned out that the hut next to him belonged to the shepherd.This single sheep herder lives by guarding the flock of sheep.I stayed here for ten days and half a month without seeing anyone.I went out to herd sheep this morning, and when I wanted to come back at noon, I saw Wushuang and me from afar.So he drove the flock aside and peeked behind a tree by himself.

Unexpectedly, Wushuang was very vigilant and found him immediately.So I turned around and chased him, Wushuang outflanked him from the side.As a result, Wushuang happened to meet the flock of sheep.Frightened by the murderous Wushuang, the flock immediately exploded and ran away desperately, which is how what happened just now happened.

After listening to the sheep herder, Wushuang waved his hand: "It's a false alarm, it's a false alarm."

I said again: "Isn't it a false alarm? You can even startle a flock of sheep."

Wushuang stared: "Xu You, what do you mean?"

I bite the bullet, and said earnestly: "Wu Shuang, how do you say this. Ziyue, gentle and elegant, this girl is fierce... Hey? What are you doing? A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands... Oops, you Try moving me again? You..."

We stayed outside for half an hour at noon that day.Wushuang was chasing and trying to beat me up half the time.For the rest of the time, the two of us helped the herder find the flock.

When we drove the flock back to the grass shed, the fat man and the abbot ran out with bright eyes: "Oh, here comes the food."

The sheep herder looked at us nervously, and then subconsciously stood in front of the flock.Then after thinking about it, he timidly pulled out the thinnest one: "Guys, can you save some food?"

I waved my hand: "I've seen this place too. There are few trees and grass. It's not easy for you to herd sheep. We slaughter pigs and cattle as soon as we come. What have we become?"

The abbot waved his hand nonchalantly: "What's the matter if we eat a sheep? Let's pay." Then he pointed to the sloppy Taoist priest: "This kid has more money than me."

The sloppy Taoist didn't know that the abbot was a liar, and thought he was a real monk, so he kindly persuaded him: "Master, monks abstain from meat and alcohol, it seems not good for you to kill like this."

The abbot rubbed his scalp: "How do you say that? When you go out, the smell of wine and meat is left in the Buddha's heart. It is not easy for them to be cows and horses in the world, so I will save them for them."

I shook my head: "Even the wine and meat monks' incisions are not right. Hey..."

The sheep herder took the money, but didn't say anything, and said to us: "You can pick whatever you want, and kill whichever one you want. However, these sheep are enough to satisfy your hunger, and you must not eat too much."

The abbot was a little unhappy: "My fellow, what do you mean? Our team doesn't take needles from the masses, and they pay for meals."

Although the sheep herder was a little afraid of us, he could tell at this time that we were not unreasonable people. He shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that. You can't eat more of these sheep, they are poisonous."

The abbot was touching a sheep, trying to figure out where to cut the knife, when he heard that the sheep were poisonous, he quickly let go.

Wushuang looked at the sheep herder and said, "You let us eat the poison? Why are you so happy?"

I quickly stopped her: "How many times have I told you, don't be so impulsive, listen to him, if he wants to harm us, will he still tell us that these sheep are poisonous?"

Wushuang muttered unconvinced, but he didn't give any substantive reason.

The sheep herder pointed to this barren area and said, "Several leaders, this..."

The abbot called to him: "What did you call me?"

The sheep herder said tremblingly, "Leader. Can't we call it that?"

The abbot nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, call twice. Let me listen carefully."

The sheep herder looked at the abbot in surprise, even though he had been herding sheep all day long, he could tell at this moment that the abbot was simply two hundred and five.However, he dared not stop calling, so he said respectfully: "Several leaders. Do you know why no food is grown here?"

The fat man laughed and said, "This is not easy? Because there is no one here, you can't grow it alone, so it's okay to herd sheep. It's not enough to grow food."

The sheep herder shook his head: "There is no one here, because the land here cannot grow food. Even if the seeds are sown, the seedlings grow very small, and the grain produced is not half as much as other places. And it can't be eaten, whoever eats it die."

We were all taken aback: "Food poisonous?"

The sheep herder nodded: "This land is poisonous, and the food it grows is also poisonous. So if everyone doesn't come here, this place will be barren."

Wushuang asked strangely: "How can the ground be poisonous?"

The sheep herder shook his head: "I don't know either. A few years ago, some experts came here to have a look and said that there are heavy metals here. I don't know the details. People in our village heard what this bullshit expert said, and they dug here one after another. In the end, after digging for a few days, the gold was not found. Instead, everyone got a strange disease and many people died. Hey, these days, the more knowledgeable people are, the more they think of ways to harm people."

I thought to myself: "What is this mess? Why did you put the shit pot on someone?"

The abbot and the fat man were most concerned about the sheep, and they asked, "Since the food cannot be eaten, what's the matter with your sheep?"

The shepherd said: "Didn't we dig gold here in those years. As a result, everyone got sick and couldn't see it in the hospital. Later, we hired a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest took a look and said he was poisoned. But he didn’t know what poison it was. So we took him here to see it. But the Taoist took a look and ran away in fright. He said he couldn’t mess with the things here.”

I listened with gusto and asked him, "What happened next?"

The shepherd said: "The Taoist chief took the money, but he didn't heal his illness, and suddenly wanted to leave. Of course we quit. Finally, the Taoist chief had no choice but to return the money to us. Later, he walked to the entrance of the village. , I chased after him again, and I must ask him, is there any way to make food grow here.

"The Taoist leader was surprised, so he asked me: 'The rest of the villagers just took the money, why is this young man so persistent?' I said: 'My relatives have all dug gold here, and then they all died I don't want them to die in vain, I want this land to stop harming others' At that time, the priest was also very moved, saying that I have love and righteousness, so he taught me: 'This land is full of poison. The grass and trees of the elders on the ground are also poisonous. It is really difficult to clean up the poison in this land.'

"At that time, I tugged on the Taoist priest's sleeve and begged hard. The Taoist priest thought about it and finally came up with a solution. He told me that unless I raise sheep here, let the grass here take all the poison in the field. Come up and let the sheep digest the poison in the grass. In this way, after several decades, it may be able to grow food again.”

I looked at the sheep herder in astonishment: "So you have been herding sheep here?"

The sheep herder nodded: "Yes, at the beginning I didn't dare to eat this kind of meat. Then one time a sheep died, I put it outside the house and planned to throw it away, but a wild dog came and took the meat away. I ate a small half of it. After a few days, I saw that the dog was fine, and then I realized that mutton is actually edible."
