Elixir 倪匡 8207Words 2023-02-05
There was no doubt that the man was dead, though he looked like a living man, a native, brown and curly-haired, and he sat looking very peaceful. But in his heart, there are two black holes. I came with a submachine gun. At this moment, the native pointed to the muzzle of the gun, and then pointed to the two holes in the chest of the dead man, with a very terrifying expression on his face. I got it right away! The natives on this island may not know that the medicine of immortality they drink every day can lead them to the road of eternal life. They can say that they have no idea that this person will die. of terror.

And how this person died, I also understand very well that he was killed by a submachine gun bullet. If the bullet from the submachine gun hits him somewhere else, he may not feel it at all, but if the bullet passes through the heart, he will die. Don't be afraid, nothing can kill him, he also has a fatal weakness, and that weakness is the heart! Of course, Luo Zhiqian knew this, this person might have been killed by Luo Zhiqian! The reason why Luo Zhiqian asked me to rescue him from the death row is also very obvious, because when high-voltage current passes through the human body, it will inevitably cause heart paralysis.

In other words, the electric chair can kill Luo Zhiqian! That's why Luo Zhiqian's expression at that time was so anxious, so like a dying person, this is one of the reasons why he made me fall for it! I took a step back, and together with the native, I covered the slab of rosestone again, and nodded at the same time, expressing that I understood how to kill Bo Jin and Luo Zhiqian. The native man went down the mountain with me again. On the way down the mountain, I deliberately reached out and patted the bamboo tube on his waist, but he immediately moved the bamboo tube to the other side.

I thought to myself, the natives on this island may be very cunning by nature. They wanted to use me to deal with Luo Zhiqian and Po Jin, but they refused to give me that white juice to drink. I patted him on the shoulder very unhappy at that time. When he turned around, I raised the gun in my hand and pointed at his bamboo tube. Then, I threw the submachine gun to the ground! What I mean, everyone can understand, that is, if he refuses to give the elixir, then I will not use this gun to deal with Bo Jin and Luo Zhiqian with him. What I did was actually very despicable, because dealing with Bo Jin and Luo Zhiqian was not completely unrelated to me.But at this time, I have determined that the other party is a very cunning person, so I might as well use these methods to threaten him by taking this opportunity.

The native suddenly showed a look of being at a loss, showing an expression of extreme embarrassment. I put my hands on my hips, waiting for his expression, and at the same time, I couldn't help scolding him for delaying time. It is actually very easy for him to solve this problem, because as long as he gives me the elixir, I will definitely not threaten him again, but judging from his situation, he has absolutely no such intention. I was afraid that he still didn't understand what I meant, so I stretched out my hand and pointed to the bamboo tube at his waist. He smiled wryly, pointed at the bamboo tube, and made a gesture of drinking, then straightened his hands, stared straight at his eyes, and remained motionless.

I've seen him make this gesture many times, but I still don't understand what it means. I have also thought about it, what does he mean by doing this?But I couldn't figure it out, and until now, I still don't understand.However, he assumed such a posture at this time, but at least it made me understand one thing, that is the reason why he did not give me the elixir. Could it be that after drinking the elixir, people will die straight?He tried to deceive me with such a lie, which was very childish, and it only made me more angry. I resolutely stretched out my hand and pointed to the bamboo tube at his waist. At this moment, he turned around in a hurry, and beads of sweat came out from his brown-black face.

I was thinking in my heart, I am about to succeed! But at the same time, I really don't understand why this guy is so nervous, because on this island, this white juice is an inexhaustible, inexhaustible natural product, it is not precious, it is like Like the sea water that surrounds this island! Why is he so petty and insists on refusing to give me a drink?Moreover, apparently because of his notice, none of the natives on this island is willing to give me this elixir of death. It can be said that this is one of the reasons why I am so angry. I was still standing still, when the native suddenly bent down, and while he was speaking words that I could never understand, he was drawing on the ground at the same time.

He first drew a person drinking with his head up, holding a bamboo tube in his hand, and then, the bamboo tube in the man's hand disappeared. I understand that this means that the person no longer drinks the elixir. Then he drew a third figure, who was lying on the ground. These three paintings, and the gestures he made several times, have the same meaning and are equally hateful. He is trying to convince me that drinking the elixir will kill me! I glared at him and shook my head, indicating that there was no room for negotiation. He got up in a hurry, pointed to the three people he had drawn, and then pointed to himself, and he also lay down straight, and then, his eyes widened, he sat up slowly.When he sat up, his eyes were still straight and his body seemed to be stiff.

In that fleeting moment, I suddenly remembered some things I had seen before. What came to mind was the first time I had sneaked into Poggin's house and broken into a room.In that huge room, I saw many natives. The natives I saw in Pokin's house were obviously the same species as the natives on Hantongjia Island. They must have come from this island. Almost none of the natives seemed to be strangers. To maintain the same posture is a complete idiot. Now, the native sitting stiffly on the ground looked very much like the natives in Poggin's house. When I think about this, I feel the need to reconsider what the native said.

I looked carefully at the three pictures he drew again. In the first picture, a person is drinking the elixir, in the second picture, it is just a person, and in the third picture, the man is lying on the ground, but in order to emphasize this point, he He showed himself to speak, and lay still on the ground. This is of course what he wants to emphasize, what does he mean, what does he want to explain! Suddenly, I understand! It was really sudden. A second ago, I didn't know anything, and my heart was full of doubts, but a second later, it seemed that there was a huge and extremely powerful force that suddenly pushed all the fog away. Made me see the truth of the matter!

The native didn't mean that drinking the elixir would cause such a result, he meant that if he stopped drinking the elixir after drinking it, it would cause such a bad effect! Because there is such a turning point, it is of course much more difficult for him to express, so it is not easy for me to understand. I now understand that drinking the elixir for a long time can of course make people reach the road of immortality, but if I don’t know how long it takes to stop, then people will become idiots, people are still alive, but their brain tissue must be completely destroyed ! I have seen this kind of situation before. The group of natives in the room of Poggin's residence, of course, became like dead people because they did not receive the supply of elixir. At the same time, I also knew the real reason why Po Jin and Luo Zhiqian were afraid of me. Because of the elixir they plan to sell, you have to take them non-stop, if you stop, then people will become idiots! This is of course the reason why the native refused to give me some elixir. Because unless I live on this island forever, it is absolutely impossible for me to receive an uninterrupted supply of elixir. And if I live on this island forever, it is unimaginable for me, a person from a civilized society. Under such circumstances, even if I have eternal life, what is the point? Moreover, I further thought that the interval between not drinking the elixir must be quite short, maybe only a few tens of hours.Although Luo Zhiqian told me that he couldn't find the island for a few years after he left the island, but his words must be unreliable.It's like they have submarines that can come to this island and he never mentioned it to me. Moreover, after Luo Zhiqian was believed to have been murdered, among his belongings was a very large bamboo tube. Of course, no one knew the purpose of this bamboo tube, it was used to hold the elixir of death. This can prove that he has never stopped drinking the undead medicine. Even if he wasn't afraid of the electric chair, he still had a reason to escape, because the elixir he brought with him was about to run out! In a very short period of time, I figured out these many problems, and the joy in my heart is really indescribable. I quickly pulled my friend up from the ground, and gave him the courtesy that the natives on the island did. And of course he knew that I finally understood what he meant, so he grinned widely. At this time, I felt very ashamed, because I always regarded the other party as a petty and cunning person, but I never thought that he was so kind, and he was planning for me everywhere. I picked up the gun, followed him down the mountain, and returned to their village.Many of the natives were still waiting in the clearing, and my friend stepped into the crowd and spoke loudly. Only then did I realize that my friend was the ruler of this island, the leader of the natives! He gave a speech that lasted about twenty minutes. I had no idea what he was talking about, except that he kept pointing to where I was standing while he was speaking. And when he finished speaking, all the natives suddenly turned around and worshiped me. This sudden honor made me feel at a loss, and I didn't know what to do. At this moment, on the other side of the beach, there was a sudden burst of earth-shattering gunshots. The seven or eight gunshots, because the island is full of rocks, caused continuous echoes, which was even more surprising. I came to a huge bamboo, pointed at the bamboo, and asked me to jump into it. That piece of bamboo is as thick as a waist, and I can hide in it. I also thought that those seven or eight gunshots must have been sent by Bo Jin or Luo Zhiqian, and they have already arrived! Naturally, they didn't expect that I would be on the island too. It was of course much easier for me to hide and deal with them. I climbed into the bamboo and stood still. The natives were still sitting, and the beating of the drums continued, and many natives moved out large and large sealed bamboo tubes.Of course, these bamboo tubes are full of undead medicine. Half an hour later, I heard another volley of gunfire, this time very close. I cautiously poked my head out and saw Luo Zhiqian and Bo Jin. Although Po Jin is a big fat man, his actions are quite neat. Both of them held guns in their hands, but when the natives began to worship them, they smiled triumphantly and put down their guns. The submachine guns became hanging on their bodies. My friend also hid at this time, and two other natives came up to meet him. Luo Zhiqian could actually talk to these two natives in the native language, and the two natives listened very respectfully. At this moment, I felt very embarrassed in my heart. If I make a fuss, of course the bullet will pass through their hearts as soon as the gunshot is fired, but I don't want to do that, at least, I want to capture Luo Zhiqian alive! Because, if I kill Luo Zhiqian, I will never be able to go back. How can I prove that I am innocent?The only way for me to prove my innocence is to take him back.Therefore, I have to intimidate him to let him lay down his weapon, but this is very difficult.Although I am hiding in the bamboo, he will never know that I am there, but don't forget that I must shoot him in the heart to kill him! And Luo Zhiqian has no scruples towards me, as soon as I make a sound, he turns around quickly, then I will be in danger! Because he has no scruples about me, and I don't only have the heart that is the fatal point, he can kill me if he shoots any part of me, but I must directly shoot his heart. If Luo Zhiqian was the only one, then it might be easy for me to find a solution, but he came with Po Jin, and I really couldn't hold the gun at the heart of both of them at the same time! So, I just hid, and I couldn't act rashly before I thought of a proper way. Luo Zhiqian kept yelling, his demeanor, as if he was undoubtedly the ruler of this island. From the expressions of the natives, it can be clearly seen that all of them dare to be angry but dare not speak out. When I saw this situation, I couldn't help but sigh secretly. Because, Luo Zhiqian was absolutely impossible and shouldn't be able to dominate the island. The natives have all taken the elixir, and they can only die if they are shot in the heart.That is to say, if they revolted, at most they only need to sacrifice one or two people, and they can completely subdue Luo Zhiqian. But I believe that the dead man my friend took me to see must have been killed by Luo Zhiqian before all the natives on the island.The natives on this island have never had the concept of death. When they suddenly saw a person who suddenly stopped moving, stopped speaking, and became stiff, the fear in their hearts was really indescribable. Under such circumstances, they had no time to think about other things except fear. Of course, they never thought that it would be very easy to resist Luo Zhiqian! I sighed secretly in my heart, Luo Zhiqian just shot one person to death, and made all the people on the island fall under his lust, he can be said to be a smart man! When I thought of this, my heart suddenly moved again: Luo Zhiqian can kill one person to make the whole island of natives submit to his influence, then, can I do the same? To kill a man and make him submit? Of course I wouldn't shoot a native, but I could kill a damned man. This person, of course, is Pokin! The gun in my hand was slowly raised.At this time, Po Jin was beside Luo Zhiqian, with his back to me, about twenty steps away from me. It would be a breeze for me to shoot him in the heart. But after I took aim, I didn't do it for the time being. I had to consider how Luo Zhiqian would react after shooting Po Jin! Of course, Luo Zhiqian immediately raised his gun, turned around, and fired at the place where the gunshot sounded, that is, where I was hiding. What should I do? It didn't take long for me to think about it, and I figured it out. Moreover, I also feel that at this time, I have to do something, because there are several natives who can't wait to look at my hiding place, and their actions will definitely attract Luo Zhiqian's attention , and if Luo Zhiqian discovered me first, it would be terrible. I aimed the gun at Po Jin's back, and put a cold gun in someone's back. This is really a very despicable thing. I had to think this way in my heart. Po Jin and Luo Zhiqian are very despicable guys. , I used despicable methods to deal with them, which didn't seem to be too much. Only when I thought this way did I have the courage to pull the trigger. There was a bang, and everyone was shocked.All the natives jumped up, Po Jin turned around faster than Luo Zhiqian.In his heart, a deep hole appeared, but no blood flowed from the wound. There was an extremely strange look on his face, neither crying nor laughing, he opened his mouth wide, his body was like a slow motion movie, slowly falling down and falling down. Before his body fell to the ground, Luo Zhiqian had already turned around quickly. His movements were just as I expected, and he suddenly raised his gun, ready to shoot at my hiding place. However, as soon as he raised the gun, my second bullet had already been fired. There was another bang, my bullet hit the gun in his hand, Luo Zhiqian shook his hands, the gun in his hand fell to the ground, and it was damaged, it can no longer be used! Luo Zhiqian reacted very quickly, he immediately took a step back, wanting to pick up Bo Jin's gun.But at this time, I stretched out my hand and pressed it, and I jumped out of my hiding place. As soon as I jumped out, Luo Zhiqian's complexion became uglier than that of a dead person. He must have thought that I had already died on Timor Island. My sudden appearance was something he could never have dreamed of! My gun was pointing straight at his heart, plus Po Jin had already died under my gun, Luo Zhiqian was a smart man, there was really no need for me to say anything, he already knew, and I understood the secret that caused his death , so he immediately stood still and raised his hands. It wasn't until this time that the anger that had been stagnant in my heart since I was deceived by him for the first time was vented. I sneered repeatedly, my sneer must have been very cruel to Luo Zhiqian's ears, because his body was shaking, I said coldly: "What else do you want to say?" He tremblingly said: You don't want to kill me, you, you don't want me to die on this island! I didn't intend to kill him, but since he thought this way, it would be better to let him be afraid for a while, so I didn't make a sound. He continued to beg: Bo Jin is dead, the secret of this elixir, you and I, only the two of us know, we can use it to make a fortune.We can work together! I laughed: Mr. Luo, I think your mind is not very clear. If you want to make a fortune, I can do it alone. Isn't it better to cooperate with you? Luo Zhiqian was completely desperate, the muscles on his face began to twitch, I could see that he was about to resist, I had to subdue him first. I was thinking about how I should send a message to the natives, and when I asked the natives to subdue him, my friend appeared. Immediately afterwards, a large group of natives rushed forward. In less than two minutes, Luo Zhiqian His body was tightly bound by a very tough wild vine. I breathed a sigh of relief, put down the gun in my hand, and walked towards him, Luo Zhiqian was yelling: You can't keep me here, you can't let these natives punish me, you have to take me away! I nodded: Indeed, I will take you away, and I will take you back to the death row. Luo Zhiqian nodded repeatedly: Good!good!But, you have to keep supplying me with the elixir of death! I laughed, now, I have completely subdued an extremely cunning enemy, the joy in my heart is indescribable. I sneered: Of course, I don't want to turn you into an idiot like a living dead before sending you back to the death row! Luo Zhiqian didn't make any sound as if he had been hit by a stick. I said again: But when you are imprisoned in the death row again, I think, your sister-in-law, I am afraid that there will be no more elixir for you. Before you die, you lose consciousness first. Isn’t that right? Is it a good thing?It's not always nice to live and know when you're going to die.Luo Zhiqian said weakly: You, so you know everything!I laughed loudly and said: Of course I know everything, come on, we should go!I turned around and came to my friend, gesturing to him and expressing my opinion. I asked him to send a canoe to take Luo Zhiqian and me to leave the island. After he understood what I meant, he just squinted at Luo Zhiqian and didn't answer me. Under his gaze, Luo Zhiqian cried out in a panic: Wesley, you can't promise him to keep me here. I deliberately said: Will you stay here?There is nothing wrong with that, you can continue to obtain the elixir, you can live forever, I believe that they are immortal, of course there will be no death penalty. Luo Zhiqian panted: No, no, I would rather go with you and return to the civilized world with you. I said coldly: This place is already very civilized and peaceful. I think it’s only after you came that the chaos started. Of course I won’t stop them how they want to punish you. After they punish you , I'll take you back again. Luo Zhiqian said: Don't make fun of me anymore, I would rather go back to receive the death penalty, why are you still playing tricks on me. I really can't think of why I'm afraid, because he once told me that he doesn't even feel pain, so what is he afraid of?What kind of punishment will the natives here use to deal with him?I walked up to him and posed the question to him. Beads of sweat on his forehead fell drop by drop: Don't ask, don't ask again. I said sharply: No, I not only want to ask this question, but also many other questions, unless you can answer me one by one, otherwise, I will let you stay here first. Luo Zhiqian immediately gave in, panting, and said: "On this island, there is a cave. Inside the cave, there is a water pool. In the water pool lives a very vicious little fish, a kind of piranha. They will take my Legs in the puddles! I sneered and said: No matter what, you don't even feel pain at all, and your muscle growth ability is also very fast. Luo Zhiqian smiled wryly and said: Yes, I am not afraid of pain, but seeing my feet turn into thick bones again and again, no, you must not leave me here! After I heard it, my body couldn't help shaking, and I shuddered! This kind of punishment is only seen in mythology, but unexpectedly such a thing really happened, this is really unbearable! I turned to my friend and once again asked him to send a canoe to take Luo Zhiqian and me out of here immediately.The native nodded this time, but he walked over, spat hard on Luo Zhiqian's face, and then waved his hands and shouted.Maybe because I insisted on taking Luo Zhiqian away, he was also angry with me and ignored me. But the native ruler's anger at me didn't last long, and he started gesturing to me again. There were two natives carrying Luo Zhiqian, while my friend and I walked towards the beach.When we came to the beach, there was already a row of canoes, and my friend got into a rather large canoe himself. On both sides of the canoe, there were supports like bird wings. A canoe with this support will not tip over in the waves.But when I think of the huge waves I passed through when I came here, I still can't help being horrified in my heart. Before I boarded the canoe, I still never forgot to ask my friend for a bamboo tube of elixir. That bamboo tube of elixir was tied to the canoe just like Luo Zhiqian. Of course I didn't want to use this tube of elixir to make a profit, but I wanted to keep Luo Zhiqian awake. If he became an idiot, it would undoubtedly be me I'm asking for my own troubles. I have already made a complete plan for my future actions. After leaving this island, I don't think I will be drifting at sea for too long. After I was rescued, the first thing I had to do was to try to notify the people in the Yellow River. Bai Su, who took refuge in the old man's house, told her that I'm coming back, and everything can be restored to the same as before! A person who has been living that kind of life will not feel particularly comfortable, but once he loses it and regains it, he will feel that this kind of life is extraordinarily precious and extraordinarily happy.
