Volume 1 Chapter 83: Arrow
I took a closer look and found that it was actually a person, a man in his forties, who was tied up with ropes like a big dumpling, with a piece of rag stuffed in his mouth, his hair was disheveled, his face was covered with blood, and his clothes were torn into tatters with several big holes. But you could still make out that the man was wearing a Taoist robe.
Lionhead was watching beside me, and he exclaimed, "Isn't this the Ox Nose named Chen?"
I was shocked and looked up at Boss Ma and the others. I heard Heimao chuckle and say, "It's that stinky Taoist priest. He dares to do something dirty to us. He must be tired of living!" He immediately stepped on the Taoist priest's palm and rolled on the ground, making a "woohoo" sound.
It turned out to be the Maoshan Taoist priest named Chen. I don’t know how Boss Ma and his men caught this man.
Yan Zi asked, "Is everything going well?"
I looked at her strangely, and I felt that her voice was very stiff, and she was completely different from usual. I moved closer to her and found that her hands behind her back were trembling slightly, and she was obviously trying hard to control her emotions.
I felt more and more that something was a little strange. When Yan Zi used a vase to smash the head of Pompeii's pretty boy in the living room, something was a little strange. It seemed that everyone in the funeral home hated the pretty boy. No, to be more precise, they hated the pretty boy's identity as a Taoist priest.
Especially Yan Zi, if someone hadn't stopped her, I would have suspected that the pretty boy would have been killed by her on the spot. This scene tonight further confirmed my suspicion. What was the hidden story behind this?
"Sister Yan Zi." I went up to Yan Zi and shook her hand, only to find it was very cold. Yan Zi looked at me, let out a long breath, smiled, and said, "It's okay."
When I saw that her smile was forced, I became even more confused.
Boss Ma came over, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of water, then said, "It was going pretty well, except that we accidentally let this guy fire a flare."
Speaking of whistling arrows, I have heard people talk about them before. In ancient times, they were called "mingdi", which means arrows that make sounds and are usually used to convey messages. But that was a long time ago. Who uses this kind of thing now?
Seeing that I had no doubts, the muscular man smiled and said, "This kind of arrow is different. It is a special arrow made by Maoshan, used to pass emergency information between fellow disciples."
I was surprised and asked hurriedly, "Is this Niubizi still having accomplices nearby?"
The muscular man nodded and said, "Since this bull nose fired a whistling arrow, it means that there must be fellow disciples here, and they must be not far away."
I saw that when Lionhead heard this, his fat body trembled noticeably. Damn it, a bull nose is already so troublesome, if we invite his fellow disciples to come, will we still be able to live?
Heimao sneered a few times, then went over and kicked Chen a few more times. A piece of rag was stuffed into the mouth of the bull-nosed man, and his face turned red, making a whining sound.
Ma Lao Dadao: "Take the cloth out of his mouth."
Heimao went over, grabbed the man by the collar, lifted him up, and slapped him twice, then he pulled the rag out of his mouth.
"You bunch of stinking dogs will get your comeuppance sooner or later!" As soon as the bull-nosed man opened his mouth to be freed, he immediately started cursing.
"Retribution? Haha, you are such a scoundrel with a black conscience, and you dare to talk about retribution? Retribution, right? Retribution is coming!" Heimao went up and slapped the man's head, making his head shake. Heimao must have been holding back a lot of anger, and he let it out at this moment.
The Ox Nose spat out a mouthful of blood foam and laughed, "You are a bunch of evildoers, you have lost all conscience, you are worse than pigs and dogs!"
Damn, is this guy sick? Listening to this, even I am getting angry. It was obviously this guy who set up such a vicious formation of the Fire Bureau to wipe out several people in our funeral home, and now he is actually blaming us!
Boss Ma waved his hand, asking Heimao to step aside first, and asked coldly: "What unforgivable crimes have we committed?"
The man surnamed Chen made a sound of "Puh" and cursed, "What evil things have you done that I need to tell you? My apprentice, his sister and her family of three were killed by you, you bunch of bastards!"
Damn, this is really a case of finding a pretext to accuse someone. I couldn't help it anymore and almost jumped up to argue with him about right and wrong, but I didn't expect that the fat guy couldn't help it first and told me everything that happened at that time before me, saying that he was the middleman in this matter and he knew the matter best.
But the bull nose simply ignored it and shouted, "Nonsense!"
Boss Ma said grimly, "What if your disciple really lied about this? Did you kill us by mistake?"
The bull nose was stunned for a moment, then said arrogantly: "It's a mistake to kill, but you guys are sneaky, how can you be good people!"
Boss Ma slammed the table and said, "How can you tell that we are not good people? What qualifications do you have to judge us?"
The Ox-nosed man was stunned for a moment, probably unable to think of how to answer, but soon he sneered and said, "Just because I am a member of the Maoshan Sect! If I say you are human, you are human! If I say you are ghosts, you are ghosts!"
Boss Ma chuckled a few times, obviously laughing in anger, and said sternly: "Okay, okay, I said I would kill you today, and I will definitely kill you today!"
Niubizi said nonchalantly, "How dare you! My fellow disciples will come here immediately after seeing my whistle arrows. How can you little thieves guess the secrets of our Maoshan Sect? Even if I die, they will still find me. Then you will regret why you didn't die earlier!"
I couldn't bear to listen any longer, so I couldn't help but interrupt, "Aren't you Maoshan disciples specialized in catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits? How can you be so vicious?"
The bull nose stared at me and laughed, "Aren't you guys just demons and monsters? I'm accumulating merit by getting rid of you!"
Damn it, there is no way to talk to this jerk. I was so angry that I didn't bother to talk to him anymore.
"Xiao Qi, go check if Lao Er is awake." Boss Ma said to me. I just remembered that Second Granny had told me to go to the dressing room to call her as soon as Boss Ma and the others came back. I forgot about it because of this stupid guy and hurriedly got up and ran to the dressing room.
I went over to wake up the Second Granny and helped her to the dining room. When the Second Granny showed up, I saw the fat man with the lion head trembled and lowered his head. It seemed that this guy was also very afraid of the Second Granny. I was thinking, who on earth is this Second Granny? A woman, so weak, and with clumsy legs and feet, but it seemed that everyone in the funeral home was extremely afraid of her, and I didn't know why.
When Ma Laoda saw the second grandmother come out, he came up and helped her sit on a chair, and asked, "How are you?" The second grandmother waved her hand and said, "She's not going to die yet."
The muscular man and others also came over to greet the second grandmother. The second grandmother bowed her head and coughed a few times, saying: "Okay, you guys go about your business, this is the man, right?"
As she spoke, she looked weakly at the Taoist priest named Chen who was tied up like a big dumpling with ropes and thrown on the ground.
Boss Ma said with a serious face: "This is the man."
The bull nose stuck out his neck and sneered, "What a big shot you are, an old witch!"
Heimao, who was standing nearby, had a sullen face. He stepped forward and kicked him on the butt: "Fuck you, I'll kick you to pieces!"
That Niubizi was known as a disciple of Maoshan, and he was really capable. He could even use the Fire Plan. He was not an ordinary person. He was probably used to being admired by others and thought highly of himself. Being kicked in the ass by Heimao in public was a great humiliation to him. His face immediately turned red, and he was furious. He cursed: "You evil thieves, sooner or later you will die without a burial place! It's all my fault that I was too soft-hearted and only used the Fire Plan on you! I should have listened to my disciple's advice and shouldn't have been lenient with you!"
