Chapter 55: Insects Chirping

Ling Qin was startled by Qi Xia's action and hurried forward to hold him: "Qi Xia... calm down..."

She didn't understand why Qi Xia, who was always calm, suddenly became irritable.

Qi Xia still didn't let go. He tightly grasped Dr. Zhao's collar and said with gritted teeth: "How do you want me to calm down? Do you know how many people I saw die in front of me today?!"

Ling Qin lowered his head silently after hearing this.

Yes, from the beginning of "Man and Mouse" to the end of Qiao Jiajin and Tiantian, they experienced too many moments of near death.

"No wonder..." Qi Xia continued, "No wonder your first reaction when you heard someone coming in was to hit them with a wooden board... You know that Officer Li and Lawyer Zhang will never come back, right?"

Dr. Zhao showed a trace of panic on his face: "No... Qi Xia, listen to me, I can't do anything, they really want to die..."

"To die?" Qi Xia snorted coldly, "You have never stepped out of this door, so you know nothing about this place. Officer Li must have talked to the bull head opposite, and he found that the game here will not kill you, but may get the "Tao", so he took Lawyer Zhang away. "

"Huh?" Doctor Zhao showed a puzzled expression, it seems that he really heard this news for the first time, "No death? How, how could this be?"

Xiao Ran got up from the ground at this time, wiped the mud on his face, and turned his head angrily: "Zhao Haibo! What are you still doing? ! People are bullying us!"

"But, but I..." Doctor Zhao's face was obviously not very good.

"Waste! "Xiao Ran shouted anxiously, "Why are you such a loser? !"

Qi Xia looked at Xiao Ran, then at Dr. Zhao, and suddenly felt a little discouraged.

How could he have time to tangle with the two here?

Thinking of this, he silently let go of his hand.

Qi Xia was completely lost now.

Where would Officer Li and Lawyer Zhang go?

Have they seen the "zodiac" that starts with the word "earth"?

Have they participated in the game of gambling?

Are they still alive?

Rustle, rustle.

The sound of insects outside the door became more noisy, as if a cricket was lying outside the door, making it impossible for people to calm down and think.

"Qi Xia, what should we do?" Ringo asked with a sad face.

Qi Xia raised his head and asked Dr. Zhao: "Did they say where they were going?"

He held the last ray of hope in his heart.

Officer Li was cautious. If he really wanted to go far away, he should have left a clue.

"No..." Dr. Zhao shook his head, "but I saw them walk to the right along the street after participating in the bull game across the street..."

"Right?" Qi Xia looked at the dark sky outside and thought secretly in his heart.

Officer Li should not go too far, just want to stay away from these two people.

After all, he told himself that he hoped to meet again one day to exchange information.

In this case, he should still be active in this area. In addition to the restaurant across the street, it is very likely to be in the "game room" closest to here.

After determining the general direction, Qi Xia had a bottom line in his heart.

Although it was dark now, he really didn't want to continue to be in the same place with these two people.

So he picked up a wooden stick from the house, slowly walked to Han Yimo's body, and whispered: "Brother, you can't rest in peace even if you die. I'm sorry for you."

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Ran asked unhappily.

Qi Xia didn't answer, but tore off a piece of clothes from Han Yimo's body, wrapped it on the top of the wooden stick, and then took the wooden stick to smear some dry dirt on the ground.

After doing all this, he walked to the fire in the house and lit the side with the clothes fragments, and a simple torch was ready.

"Lingo, I'm going to go out and find them." Qi Xia said, "I don't know if there will be danger outside, but I don't want to stay here. Do you want to wait here until dawn? After dawn, whether I find them or not, I will come back to pick you up."

Lingo turned her head and looked at Xiao Ran and shook her head: "No, I'll go with you."

After saying that, she picked up the pot with bear meat and stood beside Qi Xia.

"What is this..." Doctor Zhao finally found the worn-out aluminum pot, and his eyes were a little bright.

"This is..." Lingo paused, then shook his head, "Nothing."

"Is it food?!" Doctor Zhao immediately stepped forward, "Did you find food?"

Xiao Ran's face also changed slightly at this moment: "Is there anything to eat?"

The eyes of the two of them became a little unlike human, but rather like hungry beasts.

Qi Xia pulled Ringo behind him, blocking them between the others, and said slowly, "I'm sorry, this is not for you."

"Qi, Qi Xia..." Doctor Zhao said tremblingly, "No, Brother Xia... we went a little too far just now, don't take it personally."

"Yeah..." Xiao Ran also tried to force out a smile, "There are no people in this world who don't quarrel... Besides, as a grown man, do you really want to be angry with a woman like me? I was just joking with you just now..."

"That's right..." Doctor Zhao and Xiao Ran sang in unison, "There's a lot of food in your pot, we'll just eat a little, it's impossible to eat it all..."

Qi Xia's face darkened again, and he said, "The things in this pot were earned by Qiao Jiajin with his life. You can go ask him. If he agrees, I have no objection."

When Xiao Ran heard this, her expression changed. After a pause, she rushed directly to the pot.

Qi Xia had expected this move, so she could only sigh helplessly and stretched out her hand to stop her.

"Why, you don't need to "cheat" and use "rob" instead?" Qi Xia said with a hint of sarcasm, "There is no place in the world that is "outside the law". I advise you to think carefully. There were policemen in your team "originally". "

"You..."

Qi Xia snorted coldly, pushed Xiao Ran away, and walked out of the door with a torch, followed by Ringo.

Xiao Ran and Dr. Zhao only knew what it meant to "cook the duck and fly away" at this moment.

The pot of things with a faint fragrance was clearly in front of them, but they couldn't even touch it.

"Don't leave!" Xiao Ran yelled, and followed Qi Xia out of the door again.

The world outside the door was pitch black except for the dim firelight and the chirping of insects.

What Xiao Ran didn't expect was that Qi Xia and Ringo were standing quietly three steps away from the door, with their backs to her, without moving.

"Huh?"

After a few seconds, she saw Qi Xia and Ringo slowly step back.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Ran asked.

Ringo turned around very stiffly like a robot, with fear in her eyes. She put a finger on her lips and made a gesture to keep silent.

"Are you sick?" Xiao Ran said unhappily, "You can leave if you want! Leave the pot!"

After saying this, Xiao Ran felt something was wrong.

The torch in Qi Xia's hand illuminated a small area, and something seemed to be moving under the dim firelight.

The next second, Xiao Ran saw what was under the firelight. Her eyes widened instantly, and a look of extreme fear appeared on her face.

Right in front of Qi Xia, there was a naked man who was so thin that he looked like a human being and his body was pale.

He was on all fours, with his legs supported behind him, crawling on the ground in an extremely uncoordinated posture.

On his shriveled face, there were two hollowed-out eye sockets, and his mouth was pouting, constantly making sounds:

"Rustle--"

"Rustle--"
