My boyfriend is not a human being? It’s over. I love him even more!

Chapter 40: My Boyfriend’s Waist, the Soul-Catching Knife (9)

A dead body suddenly appeared in the town, and everyone gathered around.

The hotel owner couldn't bear to watch, "Oh, how come someone died?"

The owner of the ice sculpture hall seemed to have never seen such a bloody scene before, and he couldn't help shuddering, "Oh, this is so scary!"

There was also a woman who came to watch the fun with her child in her arms. The child in her arms was frightened and cried loudly, and she was also afraid and hid behind the crowd.

The kitten squatting on the ground meowed and raised its paws to cover its eyes, as if it was extremely scared.

The other residents also complained about the situation. They were just people from a small town who had never seen the world. How could they have ever seen such a horrible thing?

Everyone was very scared.

The members of the expedition team arrived later.

Before she could see the corpse on the ground clearly, just seeing the bloody appearance, Ling Yaoyao covered her mouth and screamed, then hid behind Shi Nanzhu.

Zuo Jing's face also looked very ugly. The impact of the corpse was so great that she held onto a tree. She felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Huo Dejiu noticed the clothes on the body and said in a heavy tone, "It's Xiao Longtao."

Xiao Longtao's limbs were broken and his body was covered with wounds of varying sizes. In some places, the wounds were so deep that the bones were visible. Due to the extremely cold climate here and the ice and snow everywhere, it was like a natural cold storage. Therefore, his body did not rot and remained in the same state as when he died.

Just by looking at his miserable appearance, one can imagine what terrible things he must have encountered before his death.

Shi Nanzhu's expression was also very bad. Of course, his relationship with Xiao Longtao was not that good. It was not because he was so sad about Xiao Longtao's death. It was just that he was the team leader and his team member died. In addition, Xiao Longtao's father was one of the sponsors of their inspection activities. His death made Shi Nanzhu very difficult to explain.

The townspeople around here could do nothing to help except stand there and watch the fun and sigh.

When Shi Nanzhu saw the people on the outskirts of the crowd, his gaze lingered for a while.

That was the owner of the repair shop I met today, and his girlfriend.

The town is so small that a small matter can spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people, let alone a big thing like a death.

Chu Xiang was a little short, and couldn't see anything standing outside the crowd. But she was curious, so she could only try to jump up and take a few glances. After finally jumping up and taking a look, a big hand pressed on her head and pushed her back down.

Chu Xiang raised his face and looked at him with dissatisfaction.

Wei Qi blinked innocently, "Xiang Xiang, someone died. I'm so scared."

Chu Xiang ignored his pretense and wanted to jump up again to take a look, but the extremely frightened Wei Qi just hugged her and leaned almost his entire weight on her.

He was shivering. "It's so scary. It's over. I won't be able to sleep tonight."

The hat on Chu Xiang's head was rubbed off by him intentionally or unintentionally. Her whole face was covered by the knitted hat and she could not see anything. She wanted to beat him up.

The only doctor in the town came hurriedly. He was a middle-aged man wearing glasses and looked very gentle. Perhaps because he was a professional, he was the bravest among all the people to examine the body.

After putting on gloves and roughly examining the body, he said: "Preliminary judgment is that he was mauled to death by a wild beast."

A town resident said: "I thought there must be wild animals in the woods. The weather here is already cold, and the wild animals that can't find food will pounce on us when they see a living person!" His statement attracted the approval of others. Even the kitten meowed and licked its paws, seeming to have no objection to this human point of view.

In this sense, Xiao Longtao could only be considered unlucky. If he had stayed in the hotel to rest and not wandered around, he would not have been attacked and killed by the wild beast.

Zuo Jing suppressed her nausea and said, "I knew this person loved to play, and sooner or later something bad would happen."

Ling Yaoyao glanced at Zuo Jing disapprovingly, "Something's already happened, so stop making sarcastic remarks."

Zuo Jing looked at Ling Yaoyao. Afraid that the two would have another conflict, Huo Dejiu quickly stood between the two women, blocking their eye contact.

Huo Dejiu said: "What should we do now?"

Shi Nanzhu looked at the silent trio and asked, "How did you find Xiao Longtao's body?"

A Da and A Er's eyes looked a little vague. They couldn't say that they were here to look for the legendary treasure, right?
The man with the mustache was in a better mood. He said with lingering fear: "We are businessmen. We heard that there are many wild resources in the forest, so we wanted to see if there are any business opportunities. Who knew that when we got here, we saw a corpse."

On such a cold day, the three of them ran into the woods just to see if there was anything to sell?
A young couple on the other side of the crowd clicked their tongues.

The man said: "It's really not easy to do business."

The woman said: "It's even harder to do business here."

The roads up and down the mountain had been blocked by heavy snow. Even if they were not blocked, it would not be realistic to bring a body back for burial. Shi Nanzhu paid money and asked the people in the town to bury Xiao Longtao.

The hotel owner took the money and was happy to act as a middleman to arrange everything.

Shi Nanzhu asked: "You are a local. Based on your experience, when will the snow stop?"

They have been here for a few days and have to work.

The innkeeper smiled and said, "Just wait, the snow will stop tomorrow."

Chu Xiang didn't see the excitement as everyone had dispersed, and the body on the ground was covered with a layer of white cloth.

Wei Qi pulled her towards home, and because she was lazy again, Wei Qi carried her on his back again.

Chu Xiang swung his legs out of boredom and asked in a muffled voice: "Our home is right in front of the forest. If there are really wild animals in the forest, will we be in danger?"

"Of course not." Wei Qi said in a relaxed tone. He laughed as cheerfully as usual, dispelling the chill in this snowy night. "I've lived there for so long, and I've never encountered a beast that attacks people running out of the forest."

Chu Xiang yawned and said lazily: "I don't like those people. As soon as they come to the town, something happens."

"I don't like it either." Wei Qi turned around and kissed her, "They will leave tomorrow."

As soon as the snow stops tomorrow, those people will be eager to leave town and do what they need to do.

Tonight, their dinner was indeed the big shrimps sent by the big fish. Chu Xiang loved to eat them, but did not like the task of peeling them. Fortunately, Wei Qi was a very patient person and spent a lot of time peeling the shrimps before putting them in the pot. All Chu Xiang had to do was pick up the chopsticks and put them in his mouth.
