Twilight Boundary

Chapter 97 Human Skin Bag (Second update)

 “Hey, it’s hard to transport blood and food, and it’s hard to hide it.”

The old shopkeeper's eyes glanced at the seven or eight yellow and dusty cloth bags, and his voice was lowered: "But that's for people who are fastidious, and for you Tanerjiao, the method is simple and ruthless."

 “It’s nothing more than a human skin bag,”

“Kill a few people alive, skin them off, refine them using the insidious methods taught by you, and sew them into cloth bags. This will prevent the smell of blood food from leaking out, right?”

The men in colorful clothes beside Grandpa Jiu heard what Shopkeeper Wu said, but they didn't dare to answer and stared at him.

Grandpa Ninth, on the other hand, didn't seem surprised at all. Instead, he smiled lowly and said, "You guessed that we left this batch of blood food here, and you also guessed the method we used to hide it. Why haven't we found it this year?" Dongjing, are you waiting so patiently for us to come?"

“Oh, by the way, I can’t sweep the door, so I can’t find it, can I?”

　　　…”

"I really don't know how to sweep the door like you, but I can guess where it is hidden."

Shopkeeper Wu said coldly: "This village is close to Laoyin Mountain. Even the lanterns of the Red Lantern Lady are hung here, and evil spirits have not stopped. However, there has never been anything weird in this few miles. How can I still Don’t you see anything fishy about this?”

The porters were in a daze. They didn't know what was going on around them and they didn't move.

But the man in Caiyi was a little surprised. Seeing the appearance of shopkeeper Wu, he was already worried that the people from the Red Lantern Society were ambushing him.

Only Grandpa Jiu did not panic at all. He turned around slowly, loosened the rope that was causing pain on his shoulders, tilted his ears slightly, and listened to something.

Suddenly he chuckled, with a proud expression on his face, and said, "Wu, you are very thoughtful, but don't underestimate our Auntie Tan!"

"As soon as I came here, I realized that you were hiding around here. The children all called back, and the ones who stayed behind were ready to blow out the lanterns. What can you two do to us?"

　　　…”

As he finished speaking, there was a burst of footsteps all around. Only a few figures could be seen in the dark shadow, but seven or eight people came running out. Some were dressed as salesmen, and some looked like they were playing tricks, but everyone was holding them in their arms. , all holding a huge jar.

They had been recruited just now. As soon as they came over, of course they found out that there was no ambush from the Red Lantern Society around, and the number of people from the Tan'er Cult suddenly increased several times.

 “Woo…”

The **** dog suddenly lowered its back and whined, ready to pounce at any moment.

Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Wu suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the back of the **** dog, and his voice suddenly became lower:

“I know you can sense that I’m here, but I also know that you will definitely show up tonight. You can’t wait any longer. It’s useless to wait for a human skin bag, and the blood will leak...”

“But I didn’t come here to stop you.”

"You can take this batch of blood food with you. I have already taken the blame."

"but…"

He paused for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Grandpa Jiu and said in a deep voice, "I just ask you to spare my girl."

 “She is still young, she still needs to be a human being…”

　　　…”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around him couldn't help but be surprised, and the sound of the wind seemed to be much quieter.

The **** dog was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the old shopkeeper.

"I say this sincerely. As long as you let my girl go, I can swear that I...I can kowtow to you!"

 But as Shopkeeper Wu spoke, his knees actually sank and he knelt down to Grandpa Ninth.

 “Big…”

But such a scene made the **** dog next to her become anxious. A **** was opened at the tip of the dog's head and nose, and Wu He's head came out of the dog's skin. Her eyes were full of tears, and she pulled shopkeeper Wu hard: "Get up. Big!"

“You didn’t tell me you brought me here for revenge, why do you kowtow to them…”

　　　…”

　　"Revenge or not, it doesn't matter..."

Shopkeeper Wu reached out and touched her face, his eyes full of pain, and whispered: "But Nizi, you have to live..."

 “Haha, well said...”

Such a scene shocked those in the Tan'er Sect, but Grandpa Jiu was the first to react.

He slowly clapped his hands and said, "Old Wu, wouldn't it be over if you had just done this?"

"You listened to me last year and swallowed this batch of blood food with us. Now we have lived a good life in Laoyin Mountain. Maybe your daughter is married, so why do you need to wear a dog's skin?"

"Yes Yes…"

Shopkeeper Wu seemed to have no bones at all, and kept saying: "It's because I'm disrespectful to my aunt, and it's because I underestimated my aunt's tricks."

“Now that I, Old Wu, know how powerful I am, please help my girl solve this technique, okay?”

　　　…”

"Simple."

Grandpa Jiu, who was taught by Tan'er, laughed proudly and said: "Our aunt can put this dog skin on her, of course she can also take it off. In this case, you get out of the way, we brought this How about going back with the blood supply and coming to rescue her after three days?"

 “I can’t stand it any longer.”

Shopkeeper Wu said: "Please help my daughter untie it now..."

"I swear a poisonous oath here. As long as you help me get rid of it, I will not stop you from taking this batch of blood food away."

“…” Grandpa Jiu’s eyes flickered for a moment, and he slowly smiled and said, “But we don’t have all the tools at our disposal right now, so we can’t treat her right now…”

Shopkeeper Wu whispered: "If not, you can tell me how to solve it, and I can solve it myself."

Grandpa Jiu looked at Shopkeeper Wu and remained silent for a long time. The vat behind him seemed to move.

He suddenly smiled and said: "That's okay, but this is our secret method, others cannot hear it."

 “How about you come over here and I’ll teach you?”

　　　…”

As he spoke, he tilted his body slightly and pointed the big vat behind him in the direction of Shopkeeper Wu.

Wu He's head protruding from the dog's skin was shaking uncontrollably, but shopkeeper Wu took a deep breath, said "Okay", and got up from the ground.

Without patting the dirt on his knees, he walked straight to Grandpa Jiu, slowly stretched out his left hand and touched the jar, but before he could touch it, there was a sudden click, and his arm was already It's broken.

A large chunk of the flesh and blood on it was actually missing, and there was the sound of chewing in the jar behind Grandpa Jiu.

The old shopkeeper grunted and took a few steps back. His left hand fell to his side, shaking.

But he endured the pain, his expression remained unchanged, and he whispered: "It is appropriate to honor Auntie Tan with a piece of flesh, but now..."

“…Isn’t it time you told me the method?”

　　　…”

"Ha ha…"

But this grandpa suddenly laughed.

When he smiled, the people in colorful clothes around him also laughed, as did the jugglers hiding in the night with jars in their arms.

 In the end, even the porters with stiff expressions started laughing stupidly.

 There seemed to be some weird noises mixed in with the laughter, as if the things in their jars were also laughing.

“You, shopkeeper Wu, don’t pride yourself on being smart, so why do you say such stupid things?”

Grandpa Jiu stopped laughing and said sternly: "It's easy to make an animal, but it's hard to be a human. The human skin has been taken off, and you still want to put it on?"

 Amidst the ridicule, only shopkeeper Wu did not laugh.

He only tensed up his expression, but could not hide the despair on his face: "So, is there really nothing we can do?"

　　"Even you guys who are aggressive are unable to do anything?"

　　　…”

Grandpa Jiu smiled and stared at the old shopkeeper: "You know **** someone, but do you know how to revive a dead person?"

 The old shopkeeper sighed lowly, and it was hard to tell how much despair there was in that sigh.

But the next moment, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes became gloomy, full of bloodshot eyes, and whispered: "In this case..."

“…Then don’t wear this skin of yours!”

　　　…”

As he spoke, he suddenly moved forward, reached into the baggage behind him with his right hand, pulled out an iron whip, and smashed it against the jar behind Grandpa Ninth.

As a New Year's Watcher who has climbed to the third level, his movements are indescribably swift and ruthless. He can hardly see them clearly in the black shadow, and he has already waved the iron whip, passing through the whining wind, and slamming it towards the person behind Grandpa Ninth. Smash the vat.

 “Want to take action?”

 But at this moment, Grandpa Jiu and the people around him shouted at the same time.

In the night, they were seen holding up the jar at the same time. There was an eerie sound inside the jar. The next moment, the dark wind was everywhere. The old shopkeeper's right hand that he had just waved, the whip in the air, and even his two legs were suddenly blown by the gusts of wind. Tangled.

Surrounded by the Tan'er Cult, his dignified shopkeeper was captured as soon as he made a move.

The next moment, blood splattered on his right hand and both legs at the same time, and large chunks of flesh suddenly disappeared, as if they had been eaten away by something.

 But at this moment, shopkeeper Wu seemed to be unconscious and just glanced forward coldly.

Suddenly he kneaded his body forward, raised his left hand hanging by his side, and punched Grandpa Jiu in the chest. Then, he flew up and kicked him on the left shoulder, causing his body to spin half a circle. , the big tank behind him was also thrown over, and he kicked it away with all his strength.

 “Ahhh…”

The jar was shaken by his kick, and cracks appeared. Something inside seemed to be screaming in pain.

The people around Tan'er Cult were all shocked. This turn of events was unexpected. They were caught off guard. Grandpa Ninth had been injured by Shopkeeper Wu, but they didn't know what happened.

But before they could think of another move, there was a whimper beside them, and it was Miss Wu He who had covered her head again and pounced towards them.

"you…"

Grandpa Ninth was severely injured by Shopkeeper Wu. He turned over on the spot and pulled away, vomiting blood from the corner of his mouth.

Humbling in a low voice: "Did you find a substitute?"

“How can I deal with scoundrels like you if I don’t want to come up with some ideas?”

The old shopkeeper's face was gloomy, and you could feel the twisting and biting muscles in the night. He said in a deep voice: "Nizi, let's do it. Let's destroy these gangs and avenge you and your brothers, so we took them." These blood foods have flown far away..."
