Chapter 30 Deserter, and the man whose lower body turned into a tail
Chen Yan didn't know what happened to his third uncle. He only had one thought in his head:
Delay time.
Wait until the hunter comes!
It is almost dawn, the hunter's hunting time is about to end, but the prey has not been hunted.
The hunter's time is running out.
This means that the hunt is about to begin.
"Third uncle, do you know what you have become?"
The third uncle was stunned for a moment, then stabbed the glass door with a fruit knife.
"What did you say? What have I become? Will I still turn into your mother?"
Chen Yan looked at the increasingly clear scales on his third uncle's face.
"Third uncle, have you... been contaminated by [dirty blood]?"
The third uncle smiled, his accent mixed with a subtle, almost undetectable neighing sound.
"You know a lot!"
The third uncle took a deep breath.
"To tell you the truth, I have been holding this in my mind for a long time.
Everyone has a few secrets, and it’s really uncomfortable to keep those secrets in your heart, not daring to tell anyone, but not daring to forget them.”
The third uncle used the tip of a fruit knife to pull open the glass door. The tip of the knife, strengthened by his blood, scratched white marks. The blood corroded those white marks, leaving ugly dents on the glass door.
.
"Do you want to know? Okay, okay, I'll tell you everything."
The third uncle's mind was already in a state of confusion, and his words were incoherent.
Fortunately, Chen Yan's understanding ability was strong enough. From his chaotic narrative, he vaguely understood what happened that year.
"It was many years ago."
The third uncle's vertical pupils narrowed, and his scaly face showed a thoughtful look.
"That was what happened after I went back to find Solar...it was what happened after I found Solar who had turned into a living corpse."
The street lights have been extinguished, the sun has not yet risen, and only a little halo of light on the skyline shines on the third uncle's face, illuminating a trace of indescribable weirdness.
After the third uncle had achieved some success, he went back to the dock workers' dormitory to look for Solar, but only found a living corpse.
The living corpse does not seem to be attacking people aimlessly - after the third uncle approached, Solar, who turned into a living corpse, did not immediately attack the third uncle.
The third uncle patiently waited for Solar to eat.
He waited for about half an hour and patiently watched Solar return to normal from the living corpse state:
Solar's skin gave birth to fresh flesh and blood, and his eyes that seemed to be lost gradually became clear, like clear springs emerging from muddy water.
His shriveled muscles filled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his tattered chest first vibrated like a blower, and then gained full power due to the filling of flesh and blood.
Uncle San could even hear the heartbeat beneath that thin layer of skin.
After the heartbeat, there is the sound of slight breathing.
Solar started breathing again, greedily breathing the dirty air in the dark alley behind the workers' dormitory like a newborn cub.
Solar is reborn.
The third uncle immediately told him that he would not tell these things to anyone.
Solar was silent, just like every time they met before.
"Even if you tell me, no one will believe it."
Solar was as taciturn as ever.
"I'm going back to work."
Solar is going back to the dock.
Go back and do hard work.
The third uncle grabbed Solar and told him, now I have wandered around in the urban area of Yanan City, joined a gang, and there are a bunch of horse boys working for me.
The third uncle said, as long as you follow me and rely on your ability, it will be a matter of time before you get ahead.
Solar knew what the "ability" that the third uncle was talking about was - the ability that the third uncle was talking about was referring to his "living corpse body".
Solar rejected the third uncle. He told the third uncle that he worked on a dock far away from the city because he did not want to get involved in the disputes between the forces within the city.
He said he needed peace and quiet and didn't want to fight anymore.
The third uncle talked a lot and promised benefits that exceeded the third uncle's bottom line, but Solar remained unmoved.
"Please come back, it's time for me to go to work." He said.
Seeing that there was no way to invite Solar, the third uncle had no choice but to give up for the time being.
After returning, the third uncle began to ask people to investigate Solar's information.
But the strange thing is that in the official information, the person Solar does not seem to exist - the household registration file of the city hall has been checked, the immigration information of Ward Fake State has been checked, and the gangs in the population business have also helped to check.
pass.
No such person found.
This person named "Solar" seems to not exist.
At the same time, Uncle San's business was in trouble.
Taishenghe developed too fast in Yanan City and did not have enough foundation. It was targeted by some big shots and the supply of goods was cut off within a few days. No one in or outside the city dared to do business with Taishenghe.
When the third uncle went out once, he was blocked in an alley by a few ordinary-looking white men with broken hands and broken feet.
The third uncle himself also lost a finger - this is the rule of an old white-skinned gang in Yanan City. Their punishment for people is one finger for the first time, three fingers for the second time, and capital punishment for the third time.
.
The third uncle wants to do business, but he must not give them the chance to cut off his other three fingers.
He needs someone to protect him.
This person needs to be able to carry and fight, and not be afraid of swords and guns.
The most important thing is that this person should be loyal to him.
After much deliberation, the most suitable candidate is still Solar.
The third uncle returned to the dock again.
But Solar is no longer here.
The workers told him that since his last visit, Solar had paid his wages to the foreman and left that night.
As for where he went, the workers didn't know.
Solar usually doesn't like to talk, and he also likes to fight against others' injustices. Stronger workers have been taught a lesson by him more or less.
Weaker workers are afraid of strong men. Although they are protected by Solar, they dare not get too close to Solar.
Therefore, Solar's popularity on the dock was not good, and no one dared to get close to him.
The third uncle only found out that Solar was from the east.
To the east is the border of the empire, the canton of Horest, which is adjacent to the canton of Vodfalk.
To the east of Horest State is a place where the Seven Kingdoms are constantly at war, called [Lothric], which means: the land abandoned by the gods.
Is Solar a deserter?
Third uncle doesn't know.
The mystery about Solar aroused even greater interest in the third uncle.
He wants Solar.
The third uncle was afraid of the white-skinned gangs in the city and did not dare to go back to YA city so arrogantly. He could only stay temporarily at Taisheng and Fenduo on the dock side, and sent people to look for Solar and collect information about Solar.
.
A few days later, the intelligence collection yielded results.
The result was not about Solar, but its importance was still too important for the third uncle to ignore.
Solar killed a man.
Before the man's body was discovered by the police, it was hidden by some of Tai Shenghe's gang until the police car left.
Ma Zai collected some blood from the corpse, hoping to find the goddess in the gang and use the blood to predict the location of the murderer.
But before he could find the goddess, the body was discovered by other horses.
This guy died in a dark alley.
When he was discovered, his lower body had turned into a scaly tail.
