Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 57: There is a Net in the Boat

The cabin was divided into small rooms. Chu Xiaomu only heard Bai Yixing and Qin Gang talking, but he didn't know which room they were in. He was furious and kicked open the doors one by one to look for them. Yang Dou and Huai Xiaomeng followed closely behind him.

Bai Yixing heard the noise and looked out. In the dim light, he saw Chu Xiaomu and the other two holding swords and kicking the door like evil spirits to find someone. He was so scared that he ran out of the door and ran into the cabin. Chu Xiaomu saw it and chased after them. The other Snow Country people found that Chu Xiaomu and other Baihua Island people came to seek revenge, and they were in chaos.

Bai Yixing's way was blocked, so he had to flee to the lower level of the cabin. Chu Xiaomu and the other two followed closely behind him.

There was no oil lamp on the lower deck of the cabin, and it was pitch black. When the three of them chased down, Bai Yixing had already hidden himself and was nowhere to be seen. Chu Xiaomu shouted loudly, "Bai, come out!" But no one answered. Chu Xiaomu called several times, but Bai Yixing remained silent.

Yang Dou found an oil lamp and lit it. Seeing that there were a lot of commercial goods piled in the cabin, he picked up a wooden stick and started smashing it, shouting, "If you don't come out, I'll smash all your stuff!" The three were afraid that Bai Yixing would attack them secretly, so they searched carefully step by step, thinking that this place was so narrow, no matter how well you hide, we will eventually find you.

But Bai Yixing suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if he could turn invisible. Chu Xiaomu shouted, "If you don't come out, I will really burn your boat! We will all die in the sea together." Yang Dou and Huai Xiaomeng also shouted, "That's right, you are ungrateful, you should burn this boat and avenge the dead!"

Bai Yixing finally spoke up: "Xiaomu...you...you guys calm down...you must not set fire to the ship."

Chu Xiaomu was furious and shouted, "Why did you kill my grandfather... Why did you kill my grandfather..." Huai Xiaomeng also shouted, "You also killed my father and mother!" The three of them followed his voice and approached step by step.

Bai Yixing said: "I... I didn't intend to kill my grandfather. But he kept grabbing me and refused to let me go, and even stabbed me with a knife... I got anxious, so..."

"You did so much evil to steal that ancient tripod! What good is that tripod that could make you throw away your conscience?" Chu Xiaomu deliberately led Bai Yixing to talk so as to find out where he was hiding.

As expected, as soon as Bai Yixing said the words "the ancient tripod", Chu Xiaomu and the other two rushed over and slashed and stabbed at the place where he made the sound. There were only a few thumps, and they stabbed and stabbed on the wooden boxes and wooden pillars, but there was no trace of Bai Yixing. Just as he was about to turn around, his feet suddenly tightened, and he was caught in a large fishing net and lifted into the air. The three were shocked and struggled desperately. The oil lamp in Yang Dou's hand also fell to the ground and immediately ignited on the floor of the cabin.

The more the three struggled, the tighter the fishing net became. With the help of the firelight, Chu Xiaomu and Huai Xiaomeng used their swords to cut the fishing net, but they couldn't cut it. It turned out that the fishing net was wrapped with iron wire, which was extremely tough.

At this time, the rest of the Snow Country people went down to the bottom cabin with oil lamps and swords, and surrounded Chu Xiaomu and the other two in the center. Bai Yixing also opened a secret door and walked out. Seeing that the oil lamp under Chu Xiaomu and the other two had been knocked over and caught fire, he urged a Snow Country man to fetch a bucket of water to put out the fire. The man said angrily, "You are still putting on your master's stinky airs, but now it won't work!" But he still went out of the cabin to get water.

Bai Yixing said: "Xiao Mu, you... don't blame me. My life and property now depend on that tripod."

Chu Xiaomu shouted, "You vicious and despicable villain!" He raised the long sword in his hand and threw it at Bai Yixing, but the three of them were caught in the fishing net, and their hands and feet could not move. They had no power to throw the long sword, let alone accuracy. Bai Yixing dodged it easily.

Bai Yixing said: "I really didn't intend to kill your grandfather, I just wanted the ancient tripod. He insisted on stopping me and even stabbed me with a knife, I... I really had no choice..." As he spoke, he rolled up his left sleeve, revealing the blood-red cloth wrapped around the wound, and said: "Look, I... I was also forced..."

Huai Xiaomeng shouted, "What about the others? My father, mother, uncle, clan leader and others, why did you kill them?"

Bai Yixing was stunned and said, "I...I didn't. Are they dead too? I didn't kill them."

"They were all poisoned to death by you!" Huai Xiaomeng cried.

When Bai Yixing was poisoning, although Qin Gang told him to put half a bag of ghost fish powder in each well to make the person who drank the water paralyzed for several days, he was afraid that the dosage of ghost fish powder was not enough, and if something went wrong, all the previous efforts would be wasted. He also thought that although the ghost fish powder was very toxic, it was rare to hear of people being poisoned by it, so he was afraid that it was not as strong as the rumors said, so he put the whole bag of poison he brought into the well water to prevent any accidents. When he heard Huai Xiaomeng say this, he thought that the amount of ghost fish powder thrown into the well was indeed too much, and he felt guilty and speechless for a while.

Chu Xiaomu said: "We treated you sincerely, but we didn't know you were worse than a beast..."

Bai Yixing pointed at Qin Gang and said excitedly, "It was him, it was all him! He was the one who said the tripod was a treasure, and he was the one who mentioned the poison that harmed people. I never thought of these things from the beginning to the end. He led me to do all these bad things step by step!"

Chu Xiaomu had already overheard this, so he was no longer surprised and asked, "You knew we would chase you, so you set a trap here, right?"

Bai Yixing said: "The traps we set here were also his idea. He said that our boats were not moving fast and there was a high possibility that someone from your village would chase us, so he asked us to prepare early."

Qin Gang said calmly: "If you have a pure heart, how can a few words from me make you change from good to evil? In the final analysis, there is already an evil spirit living in your heart."

Chu Xiaomu knew that there was no hope of revenge now that he had fallen into the hands of these Snow Country people, and he was afraid that even his life would be in danger. It would be fine if he died alone, but he would cause Yang Dou and Huai Xiaomeng to die with him. This would be a thousand times more painful than dying himself.

Seeing Huai Xiaomeng crying sadly, he couldn't help but started crying too.

A boatman from the Snow Country said impatiently: "Those people are dead, what's the use of crying, they can't come back to life. There were three or four hundred of us when we went to sea, but now there are only eight or nine of us left, and no one has cried. If it wasn't for getting rich, who would be willing to travel thousands of miles from the Snow Country to the Cangmu Country, and who would be willing to do something that is against the will of heaven and earth?" The people of the Snow Country didn't know that two people had been killed by Chu Xiaomu and his two companions.
