Chapter 149: Drugging
"Brother, do you feel eerie?"
"Yeah, big brother, I feel a chill on the back of my neck too!"
The flower-armed man who was called "Big Brother" angrily rebuked: "Don't talk nonsense! It's so hot, why do you want a cool breeze?"
As he said this, he couldn't help but look around.
In fact, he also felt that the atmosphere today was a little strange, as if someone was watching them in the dark.
Four people were grouped in twos, standing back to back around the well, two facing the south of the alley and two facing the north.
Several people stood tensely for a while, and suddenly relaxed at the same time.
"I feel like the horrible feeling I had just had has gone away."
"Me too. It seemed like I was being stared at by some dangerous beast just now."
The flower-armed man who was called "Big Brother" wiped the sweat off his forehead and said stubbornly, "Stop talking nonsense. You can see the end of this alley at a glance. What scary things can there be?"
The smallest one with tattoos whispered, "Brother, not everything can be seen with the eyes."
Another person continued, "Yes, my grandmother once told me that when she was little, she was cooling off in the yard and suddenly she felt someone was watching her. She looked around but there was nothing there. Then she..."
This person spoke so vividly that the other three could not help but listen carefully.
Three minutes later, the four burly men couldn't help shivering after hearing the story.
"Okay, stop talking! It's late at night and I already have a sense of the picture!"
In fact, since the weather has become extremely hot, it is busier at night than during the day. However, their place is very remote and in an alley, so almost no one comes here even at night.
At this time, maybe it was because of the ghost story they heard, but in this high temperature of nearly 50 degrees, they felt an inexplicable chill on their backs, as if someone was staring at them from not far away.
"Hurry up, talk about something else to divert attention! My hair is standing on end."
"Damn, we are all pure men, can you not be so timid?"
"Stop talking nonsense, just chat if I ask you to! Don't you usually talk a lot?"
The daily routine of several people at work is to slack off and chat. After all, their job is to stand guard, and it is impossible to stand there without saying a word.
As soon as we talked about chatting, someone immediately opened up:
"Have you heard? It is said that the boss' birthday party tomorrow will not only have good wine and meat, but also limited supply of vegetables!"
"Really? I haven't eaten vegetables in a long time! I'm getting irritated from eating meat every day."
"Be content. Are you not satisfied with just having meat to eat? How many people out there are starving to death? We have rice and meat, and we are already living like gods."
"That's true...but I still want to eat vegetables!"
"Oh, forget it. We still have to guard the well tomorrow night and won't be able to attend the banquet."
At this time, the one with flowery arms whom they called the boss said:
"I've asked Zhao Si to pack some for us, but there's no need to worry about the vegetables. They'll have been cleared out by those grandsons, leaving us nothing."
The others immediately became excited: "Great! It's good to have someone to help pack up. There will definitely be a variety of dishes tomorrow. I didn't even eat enough at the celebration banquet last time!"
"The food at the boss' birthday party is definitely better than the food at the celebration banquet. Even if we can't eat vegetables, it's an improvement on the food."
When several people talked about food, they were drooling and the atmosphere immediately became a lot more relaxed.
But not long after they were relaxed, the two people standing facing south suddenly narrowed their eyes and asked, "What is that?"
They saw a figure slowly walking towards them from a distance.
“Someone’s coming!”
At this time, the other two people behind them also shouted: "We have it here too!"
They saw figures coming out from the entrances of the alleys on the south and north sides, respectively, and slowly approaching their position in an encircling manner.
The man with the flower arm shouted, "Stop! Get out of here right now! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
The two figures remained unmoved and continued to move forward.
Only when they got closer did the men with tattoos finally see their faces clearly.
One had a weird appearance, a green face and fangs; the other had a red face and prominent cheekbones.
"ah--!!"
“Ghost!!”
Under the dim moonlight, several girls with tattoos were frightened by the two sudden ghost faces and screamed.
The one called the eldest brother, Huabi, was the first to recover. He frowned and shouted, "There are no ghosts or gods! Someone must be playing tricks!"
As he said this, he took the lead, holding the stick and hitting the red-faced monster on his side.
Seeing this, the other brothers overcame their fear and took action.
When the fight started, my adrenaline surged and I immediately became brave. But when I looked carefully, there was no ghost at all, just two people wearing masks.
"Fuck, who is playing tricks here?!"
But then the little man wearing a green ghost mask shouted in a hoarse voice: "Robbery! Hand over the well!"
When the tattooed guys heard this, they immediately understood that they were two little thieves stealing water!
They have been guarding the well for a long time. They have encountered robbers and people begging for water before, but this is the first time they have encountered someone wearing a mask to scare people.
Thinking about how they were almost frightened by the two thieves just now, they became furious and attacked more fiercely.
Six people were fighting together, and the scene was in chaos.
No one noticed that some white powder floated away, dissolved in the water and disappeared.
It wasn't long before the four of them gained the upper hand and completely restrained the two masked thieves.
Just when he was about to take off their masks, the two men suddenly ran away in both directions.
The four men with tattoos wanted to chase after him immediately, but were afraid that the thieves would divert their attention, so they left two of them to guard the well, and the other two chased after one of them, gradually running farther away.
The two remaining flower-armed men breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately they were smart enough to know they couldn't defeat us, so they ran away."
"Damn it! I was so scared when I saw that ghost face just now that I almost peed myself."
"What kind of coward are you? Are you really scared by my grandma's ghost stories?"
"Bah! You said that as if you weren't scared! I see you're turning pale."
Not long after, the two people who had chased out earlier came back.
"So, was the person caught?"
The two men shook their heads, and they didn't catch any one.
One of them was panting heavily, with his hands on his hips, complaining: "You are such a poor fighter, but you run really fast! I chased you for three blocks, but I couldn't catch up."
Another one also said: "That's right, if I keep running I'm going to get a heat stroke!"
The other two comforted them: "Fortunately, the other party didn't succeed. Just be alert in the second half of the night and don't make any more mistakes."
On the other side, on a deserted path.
Two figures wearing ghost masks stood facing each other and took off the masks on their faces.
It is Annan and Gu Island.
