"Ouch!" The fat man flashed over from the side, stretched out his hand to block it, and immediately cried out in pain. He pushed me and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and leave, my lord, it will be too late if you don't leave now!"
I remembered the troublesome matter that Ma Lao Da had told me about, and I had no intention of getting entangled with that stupid woman, so I let the fat man pull me away. But when I got to the cart, I was dumbfounded.
The car was empty at this time, with only a ball of hemp rope left. The cow's nose that we had tied tightly had disappeared out of thin air.
We were so scared that our faces turned pale and we broke out in cold sweats. We quickly looked everywhere and asked passers-by nearby if they had seen where our pig had gone.
However, these people had just seen me and the woman from the Dong family having a conflict, and they were all afraid of getting into trouble. No one dared to talk to us. They all shook their heads and ran away.
The fat man and I were so anxious that we almost went numb. If this bull nose got away, it was possible that all the people in the funeral home would die without a burial place. As we were looking around anxiously, we heard a "crackling" sound behind us, and a whip came at us. The fat man with the lion head was big and was immediately hit hard.
Looking back, I saw that the woman from the Dong family had not left. She was chasing us with a whip in her hand. She whipped us once, and then whipped us again.
I was already upset and anxious like an ant on a hot pot. Seeing that the woman was still making trouble, I took advantage of her rush and tripped her to the ground. I stepped on her whipping hand a few times, ran over and pulled the fat man, and quickly found a direction to chase after her.
But after a few steps, we were stopped by a few people. The fat man and I ran too fast and almost bumped into them. These people looked very strange at first glance. Not to mention their appearance, just the clothes they wore were enough to make people look sideways.
It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the weather was so hot that people would want to peel off another layer of skin from their bodies. But these three people were all wrapped in black cloaks, covering not only their entire bodies but also their heads.
I pulled the fat man and tried to get out of the way. These three people were dressed like this, but there was no trace of sweat on their foreheads. It would be strange if there was nothing strange about it.
"Little boy, I have something to ask you." I heard a loud voice exploded in my ears, and a big man like iron stood in front of us. This man was wrapped in a cloak, but his burly figure and strong body could not be covered by the cloak at all. The exposed muscles were strong and powerful, as if they were about to burst at any time.
Although the muscular man also had well-developed muscles, he was still far inferior to this man. When this man stood in front of me, he was like an iron tower standing there, even blocking out the dazzling sunlight.
I didn't know where this big idiot came from, and I didn't have time to pay attention to him. I looked around and suddenly saw a white shadow running past an alley in front of me.
At this time, the woman surnamed Dong came over and saw us standing together. She whipped us without any reason. The fat man and I became alert and immediately ducked. The whip immediately fell on the big man, who grabbed it with his big hand.
"Hurry up and chase him!" I poked the fat man, and took advantage of the conflict between the two groups to quickly get out and chase the white shadow. The white shadow was none other than Niubizi. This person was indeed more cunning than an animal, hiding quietly in the corner, just waiting for us not to pay attention, and taking the opportunity to escape.
Thanks to the woman from the Dong family who had entangled the big fool, the fat man and I successfully caught up with him, but the bull nose had four legs at this time, and although his belly was round, he ran fast. In a short while, we chased him from the street market to the wild, running until we were out of breath.
The fat man was dying, lying on the ground with his tongue hanging out, refusing to get up no matter what he said. Seeing the bull running away along a deserted road, he couldn't help but get very anxious. Suddenly, he saw a few figures appearing at the other end of the road ahead, and he was immediately delighted. He waved at them with all his strength and shouted loudly , asking them to help stop the fleeing animal.
I don't know if it was because we were too far away, but those people didn't hear me and didn't make any moves. I had no choice but to grit my teeth and chase after them with all my strength, waving and shouting at them.
Seeing that the bull's nose was about to collide with those people, I was extremely anxious. I shouted and jumped at them, hoping that they could hear me and help me stop the animal.
But before they could shout a few times, they suddenly saw an extremely strange scene, which immediately choked back the second half of the sentence they were about to shout. Just as the bull's nose was about to pass under the feet of several people, they saw a pig's head flying into the sky, flying more than six feet away, and then rolling to the ground, with a cavity of blood spilling a bright red in the air.
When the person died, the painted skin was immediately broken. The cow's nose immediately changed from a pig to a body with its body parts separated. I was so scared that my heart and liver almost jumped out of my throat, and I turned around and ran away. But after running a few steps, I felt a pain in the back of my neck, and then my body was suspended in the air, with my feet off the ground, and someone grabbed me from behind and lifted me up.
I hugged the man's arms with both hands, used the force to wrap my legs around him, and kicked him in the face. But as soon as I kicked out, I felt dizzy, and the man turned me in an instant, holding me upside down and holding me in his hands.
Looking backwards, I saw the fat figure of Lion Head running ahead. He ran for a while, looked back, hesitated for a while, and ran back again. This guy looked slick, but surprisingly he was quite loyal.
"Are you still running?" The voice was like a thunderclap, which made my ears numb. I felt my body flying in the air. It turned out that I was thrown up by that person. The fat man ran over and caught me in time. We both fell to the ground.
With the fat man's flesh as a cushion, I didn't get hurt much, but the fat man grimaced in pain. Looking back, it turned out to be the three people I met in the street market before. The tower-like man stood in front of me, blocking my way like a wall. In his hand, he held a curved black scimitar, which was only slightly longer than his palm and very delicate. There were bright drops of blood dripping from the tip of the knife.
I got up from the ground suddenly, looking at the black curved knife, and felt an itch on my neck. The lion head bowed and smiled apologetically: "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
The big man stood there, motionless. I was thinking quickly about how to get out of this situation, and then I heard a deep and rich male voice saying, "Painted Skin? I didn't expect that there are still people who know this secret technique. What a great trick." As the voice sounded, two figures walked up to us.
The two men were like the big man, wrapped in a black cloak , with only their faces showing. The one who spoke was one of the two, a tall man with thick eyebrows and a high nose, who had a mature charm. A few strands of silver hair were visible from under his cloak. He looked quite old, about fifty years old.
When I heard this, I burst into tears: "There are monsters! What have you done to my piggy? Woohoo! I'm going to find someone to beat you up!"
The lion-headed man cooperated, and with a pale face he shouted: "Murder! Murder! A monster is killing people!" He pulled me and tried to escape. The iron tower man moved his body and immediately blocked us back.
"You are quite cunning, kid. You take advantage of the good things you have done and yet you still blame others for it." The old man chuckled .
I wiped my tears and choked up, "You killed my pig and turned it into a human, wuwu, you monsters!"
The big man snorted coldly, and swung the scimitar to our necks. I stopped crying immediately, and felt a chill on my neck, and goose bumps immediately appeared on my body.
The old man looked the fat man and I up and down, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet such an interesting kid like you in a place like this." He turned to the man next to him and ordered: "Leng Feng, go and deal with the body."
The man nodded slightly, said yes, and turned away. I choked a few times and stole a glance. Although the man kept his head down and could not see his face clearly, he sounded quite young and walked steadily. He walked to the head of the bull nose, pulled him over by his hair, and placed him next to the body. Then he took out a small iron bottle and poured some powder from it onto the body.
