Chapter 597 Someone's Dead
Li Hu put away his nonchalant look.
Looking at Jiang Chen, he asked again.
"Brother Chen, are you sure you are not kidding me?"
"This is no joke."
Jiang Chen didn't say anything. He stood up and walked to the window. He lifted the wooden window and looked through the gap to see the scene in the lobby.
There were a lot of people, and each of them had a sword on his waist.
You can tell at first glance that he hangs out here often.
But the way these people are seated is interesting.
See that they are different gangs.
Li Hu followed and looked over.
"Hey, aren't those the group of people riding camels during the day?"
“It ’s !”
Seeing that person, Li Hu said in surprise.
There were about fifty people downstairs, all carrying knives.
Although he was joking, there was murderous intent in his eyes.
"These are just small shrimps, nothing to be afraid of."
"You can get rid of these people yourself."
Jiang Chen returned to his seat after he finished speaking.
This group of people obviously came to steal the treasure of sand, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong just by looking at them.
"Brother Chen, you must have some instructions for me to say that. Tell me what you want me to do. We can do it!"
Jiang Chen nodded.
"I'll ask you to do one thing."
"What?"
"sleep."
Everyone in Li Hu was dumbfounded.
This is too sudden.
Li Hu looked at Jiang Chen in confusion as he returned to bed, closed his eyes and did nothing.
Really just sleeping.
"Brother Chen, are you kidding me? You don't really want to sleep!"
Jiang Chen closed his eyes, feeling very comfortable.
"Of course, it's night time and you should go to bed."
Hearing this, Li Hu was speechless and wanted to say something, but seeing that he was like this, it would be useless to say anything.
I just kept quiet.
"Okay, okay, I can sleep with you."
I don’t know how much time passed.
There was no sound downstairs, and the only sound I could hear was the rustling .
Li Hu couldn't sleep at all, and his mind was full of thoughts about Sha Zhibao.
Maybe he can really find a treasure or something.
He glanced at Jiang Chen who was sleeping soundly, and stood up on tiptoe.
I walked to the window and looked outside. It was pitch black outside and I could only see a little with the moonlight.
"Strange, it's so quiet."
Li Hu muttered softly.
A hand suddenly covered his mouth tightly. Li Hu's nerves tensed instantly. Just as he was about to fight back, he heard Jiang Chen's voice in his ears.
"Don't move!"
Jiang Chen's voice was extremely calm, but it sounded a little off.
Li Hu noticed something was wrong and immediately obeyed and didn't move at all.
At this moment, Li Hu looked forward and saw a huge black python sliding past him.
The python was five meters wide and its length was unknown.
It just wandered around the street without making a single scream.
Jiang Chen took his hand away from Li Hu's mouth only after the giant python walked away.
He slowly lowered the window, rubbed his shoulders and returned to bed.
Li Hu had not yet recovered from the shocking scene.
"Brother Chenchen, was I seeing things just now?"
"What is that? How can there be something so big?!"
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes at him and lay down.
"You are not dazzled, that is what you see."
Li Hu swallowed his saliva, feeling extremely nervous.
Even his hands were shaking, and the image of a giant snake kept appearing before his eyes.
"It's actually true. How many people would have to eat such a big thing in one meal!"
"It's still wandering around here so arrogantly. Is it waiting for people to kill it?"
Jiang Chen put down his hand and turned his head to look at him.
"It seems that your eyes are really useless, judging from the city you are in today."
"Don't you realize what totem you're looking at?"
This question confused Li Hu.
He stood there in a daze, recalling what he had seen today.
Suddenly a wooden sign reminded him of something.
"It's a snake. Every sign on the door of every household has a snake totem!"
Li Hu had just finished speaking when he looked at Jiang Chen's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he understood instantly.
"The people here believe in giant snakes?"
"This giant snake didn't attack the villagers. Could there be a hidden reason behind this?"
Jiang Chen curled his lips and smiled.
"It seems you are not that stupid yet."
"The Treasure of the Sand appears once a year. Although this snake is huge, it can eat an excessive amount of food and never need to eat again."
"Now, do you understand?"
Although it was just a few words, it made Li Hu completely dumbfounded.
He felt like something was constantly challenging his three perspectives, and his body couldn't stop shaking.
"Brother Chen, you mean, these things are related to the giant python!"
“Are these villagers constantly feeding it?”
Li Hu looked at Jiang Chen intently, but Jiang Chen just smiled without saying anything.
She closed her eyes and said the word "sleep", then ignored him.
This made Li Hu even more puzzled.
I've thought about a lot of things, but I don't know which one is the right one.
If it is really the people here who are feeding it, then what a big scam the so-called Treasure of Sand is!
Early the next morning.
Li Hu came out with dark circles under his eyes.
As soon as I came out, I met Zhuqueer.
"My goodness, what's wrong with you?"
"Did you do anything last night?"
Li Hu yawned and answered nonchalantly.
"I had a nightmare last night and didn't sleep well."
This statement really touched Zhuque'er's heart.
Jiang Chen looked at Yan Fei. Ever since she was nurtured by the Ganoderma lucidum, her whole body exuded a different glow.
The whole person is more energetic and smart than before.
"Hmm? It's okay. I just see that you look better than before."
Hearing this compliment, Yan Fei's cheeks turned red instantly.
"It's surprising that you spoke today."
Yan Fei's teasing brought the two closer together again.
Just as they finished their meal, a man came in from outside in a hurry.
Judging from the way he's dressed, he doesn't look like a local.
"Oh no! Oh no!"
"There's a dead person on the street!"
This one sentence caused a huge uproar, and everyone looked at that person in surprise.
Although he had a white scarf on his head, he could be seen as a person from the Central Plains.
"Do you guys care about this or not?"
"There are people dying on the street now!"
He emphasized it again, and the shopkeeper came out and tried to smooth things over.
"I think you are drunk, so you talk nonsense like that."
"Our Quicksand City is indeed unlucky, but in all these years, when has anyone ever died on the streets?"
"Even if there is, it can't be here."
The shopkeeper spoke in a firm and resolute manner, not giving in on a single word.
Just in terms of momentum, he is eight meters away from the guy opposite.
Several people were arguing with each other, each holding their own opinion.
"Brother Chen, what should we do now?"
Jiang Chen didn't care and sat down first.
"Of course you have to eat. How can you have the energy to investigate if you don't eat?"
Zhuqueer and Yanfei looked at each other and always felt that they both looked mysterious.
"Hey, what are you two talking about?"
"How come I can't hear anything at all?"
At this moment, a loud noise came from next door.
