Chapter 6 The strange beast drilled out of the stone tripod

Wilbur chased him out and ran to the door of Room No. 1, only to see the door was wide open, and the girl was sitting opposite the door with a calm expression.Kamos was carrying a revolver, with his back to the door, looking at the girl, seemingly stunned, without saying a word. After a long while, I heard the woman call out in a low voice: "Kamos?" Kamos let out a strange grunt from deep in his throat. The woman said: "I want to make a deal with you, are you willing?" Kamos grunted again, put away his pistol, picked up the camera hanging on his chest, aimed at the girl, clicked, and took a picture.Then he grunted again, to the effect that without a spotlight, the photo would be poor.He put down the camera, looked up at the girl, and asked, "What deal?"

The girl said: "I want to exchange the incense burner in your hand, you will not refuse?" Kamos shook his head: "You haven't made a bid yet." The girl said: "You give me the incense burner. In exchange, I won't tell others that you stole this incense burner from someone else's house, and you even shot someone because of it. Is this a generous condition?" Kamos raised the revolver in his hand, but somehow changed his mind, put the gun down, and said, "I have a good suggestion, better than yours, do you want to listen?" The girl's face showed a tired look, obviously she had heard the same words too much: "Can I not listen?"

Kamos said fiercely: "No, although I respect the lady, you must listen to this suggestion, because it concerns the well-being of both of us." The girl burst out laughing: "Kamos, is that an exaggeration?" Kamos said: "It's not an exaggeration. In fact, I have already planned to fully accept your request and hand over that strange stone tool to you. In addition to my book, I will also write your name on the title page. What is your name, this decision will not change. Also, everything I have belongs to you and only you. Of course, there is no doubt that the two of us will be together. "

As Kamos said, he knelt down on one knee, raised the revolver above his head, and handed it to the girl: "Ma'am, please accept the sacrifice of your captives, just like Genghis Khan who swept the world in the past, in front of Princess Yelishi Give up his arms and his life. All men fall to the hands of beautiful women, and now I expect you to bestow upon me this great honor." When Kamose mentioned Genghis Khan, the woman seemed to be frightened. She jumped up and then sat down slowly: "Okay, Kamose, please stop joking and be serious. I want to tell you something important. matters. You must hand over the incense burner to me, or your life will be in danger."

Kamos raised his head: "Ma'am, if I could, I would choose to drown deeply in your love." The woman shook her head: "Kamos, you didn't understand what I was saying." Kamos raised his head: "Ma'am, I can't express myself more clearly." The woman frowned, and Wilbur found that the woman even frowned so beautifully: "Kamos, don't let the beast of desire devour you." Kamos laughed strangely: "Ma'am, I will not change my mind, unless my love is reciprocated, I will not back down." The woman just kept shaking her head and stopped talking.Kamos had clearly taken the initiative. He stood up, laughed, walked to the door, turned around and winked again: "Ma'am, I won't leave the room tonight. What you expect at any time is not in my room." Will be disappointed."

At that time, Wilbur did not understand what Kamose was saying, unless the girl was willing to become Kamose's woman, he would not agree to any conditions.But Wilbur saw that when Kamose left, the woman covered her face with her hands, clearly revealing a kind of powerless weariness.So Wilbur knew that the woman had failed her purpose. Wilbur was very angry and thought, if I stole that censer from Kamose and gave it to the girl, she would be very happy.Thinking, Wilbur had absent-mindedly eaten his supper, pretended to go to bed, but half-closed his eyes, and was going to sneak into Kamose's room at midnight.

In the middle of the night, Wilbur quietly went down to the ground, groped out of his room in the dark, and tiptoed to Kamose's room. He found that there was a faint candlelight in the room, and Kamose's moving shadow came through the window. After coming out, Wilbur felt an indescribable disappointment in his heart. Kamos is still not asleep, so I am afraid that this matter cannot be done. Just as he was thinking, the shadow on the window began to shake violently, and only then did Wilbur realize that Kamose was not alone in the room. Quiet at midnight, who is with Kamose?Could it be... Wilbur took a closer look and couldn't help but be amazed.

I saw a strange shadow reflected on the window paper, big and small, wriggling non-stop, at first glance it was slender like a snake, at second glance it looked like a water tank.Judging from the horns, it seems to be a cow, and judging from the barbs, it seems to be a wild boar.But no matter whether it is a cow or a wild boar, it should not appear in Kamose's room. When he was astonished, Wilbur suddenly noticed a faint voice: "Hi Opo! Hi Opo..." In fact, the voice had been ringing all the time, but it was getting weaker and weaker, and Wilbur was preoccupied with other things. matter, so he ignored it.

Hearing this voice at this time, even though Wilbur didn't know English, he knew that something had happened in the house. He immediately yelled and stepped forward to push open the door. The room was empty, and there was no one there, but the faint cry for help came from the corner against the wall.Wilbur turned his head and saw that the stone cauldron was leaning against the wall, and Kamose was kicking desperately with one leg exposed. It was clear that something was forcefully dragging Kamose into the stone cauldron.Kamose's cries for help became weaker and weaker. The strange thing is that Wilbur didn't feel scared, but immediately rushed to the side of the cauldron, hugged Kamose's exposed leg, and pulled back hard.

With a plop, Wilbur sat down on the ground, holding a broken leg in his arms.Where the leg was broken, there were clear teeth marks.
