Murder Bureau within Bureau

  Panzi and I both overestimated the effectiveness of this murder weapon. I thought that after a few flashes of the flashlight, it would appear, but even after more than a minute had passed, there was no movement under the tree. Instead, a patch of grass in the distance started shaking violently as if something inside was running around.

  Panzi glared at us and said, "We're in trouble, it seems we've attracted a wolf."

  Lu Yu Feng was also staring at that clump of grass, he shook his head and said, "It's not a wolf, this should be the 'murder weapon'."

  Then he rummaged through his travel bag, pulled out a pair of earplugs, and gestured to us, saying, "There's one more crucial thing. You two think of ways to block your ears tightly, we'll communicate with gestures later. I only brought this one pair of earplugs, sorry I couldn't lend them to you two."

  I looked at the earplugs and suddenly thought of that bone bell, I told Panzi not to rush, I took out the bell and showed it to Lu Yifeng, saying "Yifeng, we don't block our ears, is wearing this useful?"

  I was just asking casually, because I didn't know what the earplugs were for either. But when Lu Yifeng saw the bell, he was stunned and looked at us with an incredulous expression, saying "Where did you two steal this thing from?"

  I found that he really underestimated us, and actually used the word "steal", Panzi couldn't help but explain that this bell was delivered by a mysterious package.

  Lu Yufeng suddenly understood and said, "No wonder", then he said to us, "You can also bring this bell, it's made of snake bones that have been soaked in medicine, it can drive away all kinds of insects. However, it's not as comfortable as bringing earplugs. If you want, I can reluctantly exchange with you."

  Can I believe this? Especially with that expression on his face, it's clear that this bell is a treasure, and Panzi and I wouldn't be foolish enough to make a losing deal.

  I added a sentence without changing the subject! Then I and Panzi each prepared ourselves.

  But when it comes to how to wear this bell, there's a problem. Neither of us has pierced ears, and hanging it directly from the earlobe isn't secure either.

  I'll just give it a try. I thought, why not just take two slaps? If the little girl can bear it, what am I, a big man, afraid of?

  I was also a horizontal heart, no matter which three seven twenty-one, directly put the earrings against my ears and poked them in. I found that wearing earrings is actually quite painful, even bleeding, but biting my teeth, I got through it.

  When it was Panzi's turn, he couldn't take it. He slowly pierced his earlobe while making "oh" noises with an open mouth, looking like a big gorilla sitting in a tree at first glance.

  After the intense pain passed, I had the energy to continue thinking. I remembered what Ah Feng said earlier, that this bell could drive away hundreds of insects. I had a guess and thought to myself, "Could it be that the murder weapon that's coming is some kind of insect?" But what kind of insect would have such great power, even causing the grass to sway wildly as it passed through the bushes? Not to mention the giant centipede spirit from the White Snake legend - I wouldn't believe it even if you killed me.

  Just as I was dazed and confused, the murder weapon got closer and closer, finally drilling out of the bushes and running under our tree.

  I found that this killing weapon cannot be discussed individually, but in groups, it's a group of strangely shaped big black dogs.

  They all looked dull and stupid, with particularly long hair on their bodies, especially the belly area, almost dragging to the ground. At first glance, it had a bit of a yak feel to it. Among them, I also found that little black dog that Panzi had raised before, and it turned out they were all together.

  This group of black dogs surrounded the tree, all sticking out their tongues and looking up at it with their heads raised. I was caught off guard in the middle of the night by these strange creatures staring at me, making my whole body feel uneasy. Especially when suddenly, one of the black dogs let out a creepy, eerie laugh.

  I suddenly reacted, thinking to myself that I was too stupid, and couldn't understand what this strange laughter was, even suspecting it was a ghost haunting us. How could I not have thought that this sound was coming from these insects? And obviously, on the dogs' long fur, there were crawling some kind of weird bugs. A Feng told us to wrap our hands and feet tightly, and especially pay attention to protecting our ears, for fear that these bugs would take advantage of a gap and burrow into our bodies.

  Lu Yifeng took a deep breath, muttered "good timing" and raised the electric rod, waving it at me and Panzi, saying "I'm ready, now it's your turn, hook one up first."

  If we encounter an ordinary pack of dogs, our plan to hook them up one by one will definitely not work. Dogs are also smart animals, and once they see that the situation is not good, they will definitely escape with all their might. But this group of strange dogs in front of us is different, they're all stupid, I think Ah Feng's method will absolutely work.

  I saw that he had already put on his earplugs and knew that he definitely couldn't hear us talking, so I made a gesture to him indicating that everything was fine. But Panzi suddenly shouted out, "A Feng, take care!"

  Panzi and I both carried the iron eight-claw, we two wore bells, could communicate freely, so we discussed, starting from which dog's body to start.

  Panzi started to show off his knowledge, saying "Sun Tzu said 'to capture the bandit, first capture their leader', look at that dog over there, count how many are in this group and we'll take down the biggest one first."

  I don't have much of an opinion on Pan Zi's suggestion, but deep down I lost a bit of respect for him and thought to myself: Can this shameless person not be so shameless? Sun Wu is a famous military strategist in our country's history. When reading the two characters "Sun Zi", one should put more emphasis on the last tone to show respect. How did it become like this when it came out of Pan Zi's mouth, saying "Sun Zi" with such a different flavor?

  I didn't have time to bother with him either, the two of us stared at that big dog, shouted slogans one-two-three, and took advantage of the opportunity to throw out Tieba's claws.

  We both have a good aim, one hooked on the big dog's back and the other on its belly. The dog looked like it weighed at least 100 pounds, but we weren't weaklings either, our strength wasn't small.

  I said to myself, let's pull it up together, and after a few pulls, we should be able to turn it over.

  Lu Yufeng was also ready and intentionally moved closer to us, waiting for a moment when the big dog got close, then used an electric baton to electrocute it to death.

  Just as we were about to make a move, something unexpected happened. We both exerted our strength at the same time and after two loud "hiss" sounds, Iron Eight's claws managed to pull out a tuft of dog hair. We lost our grip!

  Panzi is quite a bargain, using all his strength, this time he fell empty-handed, if I hadn't supported him, he would have fallen sideways from the tree.

  That big dog must have been hurt, its mouth was open and it was barking wildly as it led the pack to pounce on the tree. They're not leopards, they can't climb trees, so I wasn't worried that they could really get up here, but it was still a close call - the lead black dog jumped pretty high and almost scratched my feet.

  I was so frightened that I hastily sat back up and also quickly pulled the iron eight-clawed thing back.

  I wanted to try again with Panzi, and when I got back the iron eight claws, I reached out to pull down the dog hair on top. But as I was pulling the dog hair, a bug hidden inside made a few hissing sounds and suddenly jumped onto my face, crawling quickly towards my ear along my cheek.

  This scared me, and I suddenly remembered why Panzi fainted by the well that night. He must have had one of these bugs crawling into his ear.

  I reached out to grab the insect, but was a beat too slow. I have to say that if it weren't for the bell blocking its way, I would have caught it by now. As soon as it approached the bell, something strange happened - it was like it had met its nemesis. It hastily turned around and ran back, and I took advantage of this momentum to catch it in one swift motion.

  I took a look at this insect, and suddenly I thought of the ear clip bug, which is also called that in our local area. However, the ear clip bug in front of me was entirely red, with a smaller head, and its body was swollen, quite different from what I had seen before.

  I didn't care about that much, thinking to myself "you little thing", you were quite capable of trying to take advantage of me just now, now it's my turn, let's see how I'll deal with you.

  I didn't hesitate, pinched it to death with my five fingers, and when I opened my palm again, the centipede was still oozing out streaks of red blood, which was quite disgusting.

  I found a piece of bark and wiped it off, at this time Panzi also came over, the two of us exchanged a look, took out an attitude to die with these dogs.

  I steeled myself and thought, what's the big deal about their fur? Tonight, my friend and I won't do anything else, we'll just climb the tree and pluck dog hair. First, let's strip them clean from head to toe, then hook them up one by one.

  Before we could continue throwing the iron eight claws, Ah Feng stopped us with a wave of his hand. He looked worriedly in the direction of Suiyuan Village and said that if we delayed any further, there might be changes.

  I don't know what he means by variable either, Lu Yifeng threw the electric baton at me again and let me hold it. Then he turned over his bag and took out a large piece of dried meat from inside.

  The amount of dried meat is not small, in my opinion it's over a kilogram, and he also took out a small black box and a dagger. After the small black box was opened, I found that inside was a row of syringes.

  These syringes come in all sizes, filled with reagents of different colors, red and black. I reckon these are various medicines.

  A Feng pulled out the syringe filled with black medicine, looking pained, first gazing at the pack of dogs under the tree, then immediately putting on a resolute expression, aiming at the meat and injecting the medicine into it.

  But he didn't inject all of it at once. He first injected some of the medicine, then used a knife to cut off this piece of meat and threw it to the dog under the tree.

  These dogs are all gluttonous, almost as soon as they see meat, they rush up to grab it. Ah Feng calculates and comes over, on the one hand putting medicine in the meat, on the other hand throwing it separately to different dogs. Anyway, after the medicine is all used up, this group of dogs has also eaten their fill of meat, even that little black dog was fed a small mouthful.

  This black medicine is quite toxic, and soon it took effect. A group of dogs all fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth. Pan Zi still had some feelings for that little black dog and couldn't help but sigh, but he also knew that business was urgent, so he praised Lu Yifeng again, "A Feng, your medicine is really powerful!"

  I didn't expect that Luyu Feng had prepared two sets of plans to deal with the dog, first using Panzi and me as laborers, and only taking out the medicine when he saw it was ineffective.

  Although I can feel that this medicine is quite expensive, but in comparison, Panzi and my labor should not be so cheap either? This tall and handsome Lu Yifeng, why is he so stingy in his heart?
