A human scaphoid bone?
A human scaphoid bone?
In other words, the ash-colored object in the wine was a human bone!
Zhao Huai's face turned green.
He felt his stomach churn.
The surroundings became even more silent. Everyone was in a daze.
The urn was sealed five years ago. Zhao Huai and Zhao Qing saw it being sealed with their own eyes. There was not a single strand of hair in the urn except for the wine.
What did she mean by a human bone?
Zhao Huai questioned Ji Yunshu, "Are you sure that's a human bone? Not an animal bone or something else? "
Ji Yunshu twisted her body slightly. The wound on her back had probably stopped bleeding, and the fabric of her clothes was stuck to the wound. Even the slightest movement would tear at the wound.
She said, "If you don't believe me, you can use your tongue to lick it."
what？
Lick it? '
Zhao Huai thought she was making fun of him. He scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. If it's an animal or a mannequin, it will feel smooth when you lick it with your tongue. But if it's a human bone, it will feel a little bitter." "If you don't want to lick it, you can use a knife to scrape the bone. If a layer of powder falls off, it's a real bone because there's a layer of bone scales on top of it. If there's no powder, it's a fake bone."
Her analysis was profound.
Others might not understand the deeper meaning, but they could understand the simple meaning.
Ji Yunshu frowned as she finished speaking. She seemed to be straining herself. If not for Wei Yi supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground.
"Shu 'er, are you in pain? I'll hug you and you won't feel pain anymore. "
Wei Yi held her shoulders tightly.
He didn't dare to touch her too hard.
To verify Ji Yunshu's words, Zhao Huai pondered for a moment before pulling out the Twin Tiger Dagger that he had stabbed into the table. He then picked up a piece of bone from the bowl and used the dagger to scrape it a few times.
'I lost fans!'
His throat tightened, and he immediately threw the scaphoid bone back into the bowl.
He gnashed his teeth in anger.
He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
No one dared to speak.
Zhao Qing, on the other hand, watched the comical performance. He stared at the bone and his eyes darkened.
He seemed to have noticed something.
He thought to himself that Zhao Huai was playing dumb and stalling for time!
Therefore, he purposely created such a scene.
As a result —
He said, "Since this wine is not clean, there is no need to continue drinking it." Then, he used his chin to point at Ji Yunshu and Wei Yi. "I want to take these two away now."
Zhao Huai's gaze was cold, and he felt disgusted. He asked suspiciously, "You and I brewed this wine together five years ago, and it has never been opened. Don't you want to know why there are human bones in it?"
"Even if you soak a corpse in wine, it has nothing to do with me."
"You …"
"Stop stalling for time. I won't fall for your tricks."
"Do you think that I ordered someone to put that thing in the wine?" Zhao Huai was exasperated.
What else could they do?
Zhao Qing said lightly, "I've already said, whether it is or not, it has nothing to do with me."
While they were talking, Zhao Qing was already walking towards Ji Yunshu. Just as he was about to pull her back, Zhao Huai grabbed his wrist and flung him away.
The two of them faced each other.
Zhao Huai warned, "Zhao Qing, this is my territory."
"Are you going to hand them over or not?" Zhao Qing's tone was threatening.
Neither of them backed down.
At this moment, the clever bandit who had snuck out ran back, his voice loud and clear. "First Master, the people outside have been taken care of."
Huh?
Zhao Qing was puzzled. He raised his brows and pulled his hand out of Zhao Huai's grasp.
"What do you mean?" he questioned.
Zhao Huai snorted, feeling pleased. He raised his chin and sneered. "Zhao Qing, do you think that the people you brought with you can burn down my stronghold?"
"You really aren't that kind to hand them over to me."
"I can only say that you're stupid. You're still the same as before."
Zhao Qing sneered.
He clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.
He frowned coldly. "Since you aren't willing to hand them over, I can only take them by force."
"Take them by force? Take a good look around you. Do you have the ability? "
Zhao Huai swung his fist at Zhao Qing.
The two of them clashed!
Their fists were ruthless.
Everything around them was smashed to smithereens.
Crackling noises rang out.
Zhao Qing was no match for Zhao Huai. In the end, he was pinned to the table. Zhao Huai held the Twin Tiger Dagger to his neck.
Ba Hu saw this and wanted to step forward.
But he was caught by Zhao Huai's men.
"Second Master," Ba Hu called out worriedly.
Zhao Qing was a stubborn man. Even when he was captured by Zhao Huai, he had no intention of backing down.
He only said, "Kill me if you want."
Zhao Huai replied, "Zhao Qing, you and I are blood brothers. You know I won't kill you."
Zhao Qing laughed coldly. "When Jiu 'er died, I already said that we have nothing to do with each other. You are you, and I am me."
"I'll say it again – I didn't kill Jiu 'er." Zhao Huai was agitated.
He pressed Zhao Qing's body even lower on the table.
Zhao Qing's eyes reddened from the agitation. His shoulders suddenly regained strength.
He roared, "Zhao Huai, you should be the one to die."
He flipped himself up.
The dagger had cut a gash on his throat.
At the same time –
Bang!
The jar of wine that was originally placed on the table was swept to the ground by him.
What was even more shocking was that a small piece of greyish-white bone had appeared in the smashed wine jar on the ground.
It was hair-raising!
Seeing this, Zhao Huai immediately withdrew his dagger and waved his hand. "I'm done."
The two of them distanced themselves from each other and stopped fighting.
Zhao Qing panted lightly. He raised his hand to touch his bleeding neck, then turned to look at the bone on the ground.
He had thought that the bone in the bowl was Zhao Huai's way of stalling for time. But now, he felt that something was amiss.
Zhao Huai's expression stiffened. His forehead was beaded with sweat. He bent down and picked up the bone.
Then …
He turned to Ji Yunshu. "Is this also a scaphoid bone?"
Ji Yunshu's face paled. She looked at the thing in his hand, her dry lips parting as she replied, "This is a skull bone. It's also part of the wrist bone."
Ugh!
Zhao Huai's hand trembled. He threw the skull bone into the bowl of wine containing the scaphoid bone.
The two bones had collided into each other!
Then, he shouted, "Who the hell is it? Who threw this damned thing into the wine? "
Everyone looked at each other, then craned their necks to look into the bowl. They shook their heads.
'Heaven is our witness – it wasn't us!'
They began to discuss in low voices.
"The First Master and Second Master even drank the wine from that jar."
"Yeah, it's disgusting."
… …
While Zhao Huai was fuming, Ji Yunshu said, "Since the human bone wasn't placed in the wine jar on purpose, there might be a problem with the wine. If I were you, I would have someone open the jar and check."
