Shadow Code - C45

” Is that enough? ” It was Li Si’s voice. Only then did I open my eyes. It was all bundles of hay. pockmarked people had returned.

” That’s enough! ” The pockmarked person jumped down from the straw bundle, nearly stomping me flat.

” “I think this jar is rather strange. Let’s go up and start a fire!” As I cleared the pile of grass, my face was covered in cold sweat.

” “F * ck off, these jars are actually made out of skin, yet they’re still warm, damn it!”

” A jar? That can’t be, what the heck is black? “F * ck, could it be those shadows’ skins?” I was surprised by what the pockmark said. He really dared to think, “A human skin jar?” But then again, everything here had something to do with that world, and it was a black jar, so why couldn’t it be made from the skin of those shadow people?

” “Si’er, we forgot to find clay and water. We can’t make a chicken anymore. Why don’t we roast it and eat it?” Li Si didn’t care about these weird things, he just focused on eating the chicken.

” “Anything is fine, I can bake it on top and call you guys!”

” “That’s fine too, it’s not very peaceful down there. I’ll pass you the grass and the chicken. You keep roasting them, I’ll study these jars with your third brother!”

” Third Brother, how are you going to steal raw chicken? ” Li Si said.

” Are the chickens gone? I’m handing over seven chickens? ” said the pockmark.

” A chicken claw is missing! ”

” Oh, I broke a claw just now to use as a tool! ” I looked around for the claw and gave it to him.

At first, I didn’t think much of it, nor did I need to eat too much. But once it did, I wanted to look for it even more. There was nothing here, just a square empty coffin, just pockmarks and a few jars on the side wall.

“Kid, take a look and see if there’s anything in the pile of grass.” I asked.

“Forget it, it’s just a claw. There isn’t much meat, and the chickens aren’t enough. It’s not bad either, so don’t bother looking for it!” He squatted down and looked at the jars.

“It’s not a pockmark. I had clearly used up a claw just now and put it here. How could I not see it?”

The pockmarks seemed to have understood what I meant. The claws couldn’t have run away on their own, and they had indeed disappeared. Could it be that there was something here that had eaten claws?

“Si’er, break your claws and throw it down!” Scabbers shouted.

“I’ll do it, look at it. I used this claw to touch the cover and the symbols, then you guys came back, but this time you guys won’t be able to find it. That’s it!” I repeated the gesture.

Ma Zi and I stared at the claw. Damn, what happened next really made me break down.

I touched the cover of the claw, and the symbol after it was completely normal. Just as I finished doing all this and was about to casually place it on hold again, f * ck second uncle, I put it on the ground and can’t see the claw anymore. It was like a magic trick, I didn’t know what was going on and the thing in my hand disappeared right in front of my eyes.

“F * ck, touching my balls in front of laozi, laozi doesn’t know how laozi did it!”

“Si’er, throw another claw down!” He seemed to be in a bad mood.

“I’m already roasting it, brother, how about this chicken butt?”

“Then let’s start with the chicken butt!”

“I’m glad I didn’t place those pheasants on the ground earlier. Otherwise, I would have disappeared a long time ago. I wouldn’t have been able to save anything at the bottom of this coffin!” That’s the only way I can understand it.

“Then why are we still here? Aren’t we always standing on the ground? ”

I was sitting on the ground with my butt on the ground, and the butt was still on the ground, but why did the chicken disappear the moment it landed on the ground? Could it be that the bottom of the coffin was a fox? Specially picking a fight with chickens?

“It’s done roasting. Third brother, third uncle, why don’t you come up and eat it? It’ll smell good just by smelling it!” Li Si’s voice jumped in joy.

“Forget it, we are already hungry. Let’s go and eat. Don’t eat all the roasted chickens later. When we are full, we will have the strength to move this jar away!”

I haven’t eaten wild game in a long time. The fragrance from the roasted meat assaulted the corpse fragrance below me, and the first one was even more stimulating. Besides, I couldn’t figure it out for a long time, so I decided to study it thoroughly.

Li Si was not suitable to be a hunter, he was absolutely suitable for hunting and logistics. Seven chickens, each of which had been sliced into a thin piece, were placed on a stick, placed horizontally across the inner wall of the passageway, just in time to be supported by the inner wall. Below the bottom was the bonfire, which he was only responsible for constantly rotating and mixing the pieces together; furthermore, after the outer layer was done, he would follow the chicken fibers and throw them into the bonfire.

” Is it delicious? “Later, go out and ask your grandfather. How about following your brother in hunting in the future?” The pockmark looked at Li Si, whose mouth was full of chicken meat that couldn’t even speak properly.

“No, I can’t leave grandpa behind. We’re the only ones left in the village, one old and one young. If I leave, what will grandpa do?”

“Then we will bring Grandpa along. The people you guys are waiting for might encounter us in the future, and we might even encounter them together with us. If you guys are so passive in waiting, you might as well take the initiative to look for opportunities!”

“You guys don’t understand, wait, it’s not like we want to meet this person. That person lost his memory, and we waited, just to come back when he can’t even remember himself, and tell him who he is!”

” So the last time was when Mountain Demon lost his memory and couldn’t even remember what time it was? ”

” It should be, because as long as he doesn’t forget himself, he won’t come back, even if he has to pass by! ”

” Then, the frequency at which he forgets about himself isn’t that high, at least once every dozen years. According to this frequency, you all can always play around, why wait so long! ”

” “That won’t do, we’ll wait for the rabbit. How can you calculate the next time we hit a tree based on the time when the rabbit crashed into the tree?” Ma Tzu interjected.

” What do you mean by just waiting? ” Li Si did not understand. It seemed that he had never read a book and did not understand these legends.

” “That means that you are guarding the village. Si’er, by the way, do you have any personal details? Before we arrived, did a woman or an injured barbarian enter the village?”

” There were two men who came in but there was no woman! One of his shoulders was indeed injured, but the skinny man was still supporting him! ”

” Si’er, are you sure it wasn’t the injured man who kidnapped that skinny man or threatened the injured one? I mean, are you sure they’re supporting a relationship, not a hostile one? ”

” It shouldn’t be, because both of them are threatening Grandpa and me at the same time! ”

” Fuck, San-zi, looks like we were deceived by our little sister, that savage is indeed our little sister’s companion! “
