After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Zhao Ying actually laughed, "Is this the reason why you don't let me follow you?"

"Isn't this reason enough?" Wu Zhongyuan asked rhetorically.

Zhao Ying smiled, "I believe you are telling the truth, but I don't think this kind of thing will definitely happen." ”

"According to Einstein......

Zhao Ying waved her hand, "I don't argue with you about the time paradox, it's a theory that can't be verified, and it doesn't have any value for discussion." ”

"You go, I don't want to bother you. Wu Zhongyuan picked up his backpack.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was leaving, Zhao Ying hurriedly grabbed him, "Okay, well, since you believe in theory, let's talk about theory, let me ask you first, what is eternity?"

Zhao Ying's question is not profound, it is a very simple philosophical question, Wu Zhongyuan said casually, "It will never change, it will always exist." ”

"What is forever unchanging, forever existing?" Zhao Ying asked again.

This question is simpler, Wu Zhongyuan said casually, "What will never change is stillness, what will always exist is motion, these are the two forms of material existence, and you are all junior high school physics knowledge." ”

"This is the curriculum of primary schools in the West," Zhao Ying said with a smile, "excluding the part that dies and stands still, all existing things and matter are in motion, am I right?"

"What the hell do you want to say?" Wu Zhongyuan was a little impatient.

"What I want to say is that as long as a thing does not die, it will always be in a state of motion, and as long as it moves, it will change, so I don't believe in the known unknown, and I don't believe that I will die. Zhao Ying said.

"Don't talk to me about this, I won't let you follow anyway. Wu Zhongyuan turned around and left.

Zhao Ying still followed, "Have you ever been in love?"

"Why are you asking this?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned.

"Answer me. Zhao Ying said.

"Does pretending count?" Wu Zhongyuan asked rhetorically.

Zhao Ying smiled, "If a girl says to you now, 'I will love you forever', do you believe it?"

Wu Zhongyuan didn't know why Zhao Ying asked this question, and was worried that it was a trap, so he didn't answer.

Zhao Ying said again, "I guess you won't believe it, so if a girl says to you before she dies, 'I will love you forever', do you believe it?"

"Can you say something auspicious?" Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Zhao Ying.

"Answer me, do you believe it or not?" Zhao Ying asked.

"I understand what you mean," Wu Zhongyuan said, "you mean that there are no variables until you die." ”

"Yes, if you don't die, there will be variables, so don't worry about it. Zhao Ying said.

"I won't tell you this, you go quickly, don't follow me. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Where are you telling me to go, the helicopters are gone. Zhao Ying said with a smile.

Hearing Zhao Ying say this, Wu Zhongyuan glanced back, and sure enough, the helicopter was no longer there, and he only cared about talking to Zhao Ying just now, and didn't pay attention to when the plane flew away.

"Alright, don't bother with it. Zhao Ying pushed Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked north.

Zhao Ying followed from behind, "Hey, let me ask you a question." ”

"What?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Do you like me?" asked Zhao Ying with a smile.

"What did you say?" Wu Zhongyuan pouted.

"I said, do you like me?" Zhao Ying asked loudly.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, but just replied with a look of contempt.

"If you don't like me, why are you so worried about my safety?" Zhao Ying asked.

"What do you think, I am now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect myself, how can I worry about your safety, I am just afraid that you will die because of me. Wu Zhongyuan poured a basin of cold water on Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying didn't care and shrugged her shoulders, "It's almost the same." ”

"How about it, if you die because of me, I will feel guilty, let alone a human, even if the cat or dog dies because of me, I will feel guilty. Wu Zhongyuan continued to pour cold water.

Zhao Ying pouted and didn't speak again.

"Where are we now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Zhao Ying carried a backpack with her, and after Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, she took out a small positioning instrument from her backpack, "One hundred and eighty kilometers west of the place of origin, what are your plans now?"

Wu Zhongyuan said, "Find a safe place to hide for a few days, and then wait for the wind to pass." By the way, what about the yellow staff you brought out?"

"Oh no, I forgot it on the plane, I'll send him back right away. Zhao Ying said eagerly.

Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and glanced at Zhao Ying, and saw that her expression did not seem to be fake, so he said, "Forget it, you can keep it first, and if it is useful, take it back." ”

"It's okay, that thing is quite heavy, and it's not convenient to carry it with you all the time," Zhao Ying nodded, "By the way, how do you know that thing is called a staff?"

"What is the name of the staff that is not used for practice?" Wu Zhongyuan said casually, "The blind and the old man use the crutches, the monks use the Zen staff, the chiefs of some tribes use the scepter, and the wizards use the staff. ”

"I'm not going to class," Zhao Ying walked a few steps quickly and followed Wu Zhongyuan, "What about the jeans? Why didn't you see her just now?"

"Do you miss her very much?" Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Zhao Ying.

"Actually, I just want to know how she lied to you. Zhao Ying smiled evilly.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, in Zhao Ying's opinion, Wang Xinran deceived him, but Zhao Ying didn't know the specific details, in fact, Wang Xinran was also kept in the dark, and he didn't intend to deceive him, in addition, without Wang Xinran's help that day, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to get out.

Wang Xinran helped him escape, and he would definitely be punished very harshly afterwards, and I don't know what happened to her now.

After walking for more than twenty minutes to the north, a village appeared in front of me, this village was very large, and since it was already the second half of the night, there was not much light in the village.

According to Wu Zhongyuan's idea, he found a dilapidated house near the village to stay for a few days, but Zhao Ying disagreed, took out her mobile phone and fiddled with it, and then called a car and pulled the two directly to a hotel in the city.

When I went to the hotel, I didn't go to the front desk to register, but took the elevator to the tenth floor, came to the westernmost room in the corridor, and knocked on the door.

"Looking for whom?" said a man's voice in the room.

Zhao Ying stood against the wall, "Director Wang, you have been reported, hurry up and wake up Secretary Zhang and leave immediately." ”

The people inside nervously responded.

A few minutes later, an obese man in his fifties came out with a young woman in her early twenties in a panic, and the obese man took out a wad of banknotes and stuffed it to Zhao Ying, "Thank you." ”

"Go downstairs and go through the back door. Zhao Ying said.

The fat man thanked him and left in a panic.

After the two left, Zhao Ying pulled Wu Zhongyuan into the room and closed the door.

"How do you know who lives in the room?" Wu Zhongyuan checked all over the room, this is a suite, the room is large, well decorated, there is a wine cooler, a refrigerator, and a large bathtub in the bathroom.

"In the Internet era, people have no privacy at all," Zhao Ying sat down from the sofa and threw the wad of banknotes on the coffee table, "You don't have to worry, I checked, the surveillance of this hotel was broken two days ago." ”

Wu Zhongyuan has nothing to say, Zhao Ying has the support of Western forces behind her, and what Wang Xinran and others can do, they can also do.

"It's almost dawn, go to bed early," Zhao Ying pointed to the bedroom, "You sleep in the bedroom, I sleep on the sofa." ”

"I'll sleep on the couch. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"No, you sleep in the bedroom, I don't like the smell of Dior perfume. Zhao Ying stood up and walked to the wine cabinet to select red wine.

Wu Zhongyuan even lived in the haystack of the bridge cave, so he naturally didn't mind the smell of perfume left by the woman in the room, so he walked into the bedroom and put down his backpack.

The red wine on the wine cabinet didn't seem to be what Zhao Ying liked, and finally Zhao Ying took a bottle of mineral water and sat back on the sofa, took out a pistol, and began to check the return bullets.

"Who are you?" Wu Zhongyuan became curious about Zhao Ying's true identity.

"Do you know that this is meaningful?" Zhao Ying asked casually, "When you were on the mountain, did you pay attention to what was in the stone room?"

Zhao Ying has no night vision, and it is normal to not be able to see the scenery in the stone room clearly, and Wu Zhongyuan did not hide it from her, "It seems that there is only a crystal coffin." ”

"Cheap them. Zhao Ying pushed the bullet and loaded.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, the reason why Zhao Ying said this was because whether it was the crystal coffin or the old wizard, including the middle-aged Taoist and the armor he was wearing, they all had high research value, and these things all fell into the hands of those who came later.

Wu Zhongyuan was a little thirsty, came out to get water to drink, and when he saw Zhao Ying's solemn expression, he said, "It's impossible for them to take everything away." ”

Zhao Ying looked up at him.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "The middle-aged Taoist carried a small burden with him, and he didn't see this burden when the incident happened, if I guessed correctly, this burden should have been hidden by him near the big tree on the other side of the river." ”

"When they leave, let's go back and look for it. Zhao Ying picked up the mobile phone, the mobile phone she used was not a simple mobile phone, but a special one, and there were many functions that ordinary mobile phones did not have, but what she was doing at this time, Wu Zhongyuan did not know.

Both of them were very tired, Wu Zhongyuan drank water, went back to the bedroom and lay down, Zhao Ying loved to be clean, took a bath before going to bed, and Wu Zhongyuan fell asleep listening to the sound of water dripping in the bathroom.

When I woke up, it was more than ten o'clock in the morning, and it was already past the time for the hotel to serve breakfast, when Wu Zhongyuan was washing, Zhao Ying ordered takeout, she called pizza for herself, and fried rice for Wu Zhongyuan.

After the meal, Zhao Ying has been fiddling with her mobile phone in the living room, and Wu Zhongyuan is lying in the bedroom with her eyes closed.

Approaching twelve o'clock, the front desk called and asked if he would continue to live, the call was answered by Wu Zhongyuan, but he didn't know how long the two would stay here, so he looked at Zhao Ying, who raised a finger and signaled that it would only continue for one day.

Hanging up the phone, Wu Zhongyuan said to Zhao Ying, "One day is not enough." ”

"It should be enough, they moved quickly, and they should be able to move it all before dark. Zhao Ying said.

"How do you know?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"There's a satellite. Zhao Ying showed Wu Zhongyuan the screen of her mobile phone, which showed the live scene around the peak, with a cordon on the periphery, and many people at the scene were busy.

"Turns out you've been watching this. Wu Zhongyuan said.

Zhao Ying nodded.

Knowing that he couldn't go back in a short time, Wu Zhongyuan also accepted this fact, and the only thing he could do at this time was to wait, and after the official people finished cleaning the battlefield, he went back to find the emaciated man said Apo.

Zhao Ying has been closely observing the situation near the mountain peak, she estimated very accurately, the corpses were all moved away before dark, the crystal coffin in the stone chamber was also carried down the mountain, and the armor left by the middle-aged Taoist was also loaded and transported away, but the people who cleaned up the aftermath did not leave, and still stayed near the mountain peak, looking for clues that might have been missed.

If those people don't leave, the two of them can't go back, whether Wu Zhongyuan wants to or not, he has to wait.

The men remained in the vicinity for three days, searching all corners until the evening of the third day, when they put away their tents and left.

Early the next morning, the two got into the Audi car used to pick up VIPs at the hotel, and went straight to the mountain where the incident occurred, to be precise, the village northeast of the mountain where the incident occurred.

At about 11 o'clock in the afternoon, the two rushed to the village, which was called Dongze Village, with more than 300 households, and was a multi-ethnic village.

What happened a few days ago, the village has spread, the streets and alleys are talking about this matter, until this time, Wu Zhongyuan did not know the names of the two, the emaciated man is named Yao Ziqin, and the sheep herding man is named Liu Zilong, the reason why he is not surnamed Wu may be because the pronunciation of Tibetan and Chinese is different, and the old wizard did not leave the surname Wu.

After the two entered the village, they asked a few old people sitting at the head of the village basking in the sun who was called Abo, but the old people did not know that there was such a person, Apo was the name of the Han people, there were not many Han people in this village, they knew each Han person, and they insisted that no one called this name.

I inquired elsewhere, and the answer was the same, there was no such person as Apo in the village.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was depressed, Zhao Ying comforted, "Don't worry, it may be from a neighboring village, let's go to a nearby village to inquire." ”

Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

"Let's go, the car is still waiting at the entrance of the village. Zhao Ying said.

"You go out first, I'll go to their house. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"I'll go with you. Zhao Ying said.

Wu Zhongyuan did not object.

Liu Zilong's home is in the west of the village, and the two went to his house first, the Liu family was still immersed in sadness, and Wu Zhongyuan only said that he was Liu Zilong's friend and came to visit them.

Through conversation, it was found that the Liu family did not know the true situation of Liu Zilong, and they did not even know that Liu Zilong knew martial arts. I've never heard of Apo either.

Asked if Liu Zilong had any relics left, Liu's family only said that they were some clothes, and they were all burned a few days ago.

Before leaving, Wu Zhongyuan left 10,000 yuan, and he also wanted to give more, but he didn't have much money.

Yao Ziqin originally lived in the north of the village, and when the two of them came to the door, Yao's family had a cold pot and a cold stove, and they didn't even cook lunch.

Similar to the situation of the Liu family, the Yao family did not know that Yao Zilong knew martial arts, let alone that he had been guarding the secret room in the southwest, and Yao Ziqin had no special relics left.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan wanted to take the money, Zhao Ying took out the pile of money given by Director Wang a few days ago, 10,000 yuan is not much, but it is not a small amount for the herdsmen here, the Yao family was very surprised, and repeatedly refused.

After repeated concessions, the Yao family finally accepted it, and the two children of the Yao family are in high school, and the pillars of the family have fallen, and the tuition fees will become a problem in the future.

Walking to the door, Wu Zhongyuan rushed out to see off the Yao family and asked, "Auntie, do you know a person named Abo?"

"Apo?" the woman looked confused.

"This person may be from our village, or it may be from several nearby villages. Wu Zhongyuan said.

The woman shook her head slowly, "I don't know." ”

Wu Zhongyuan was frustrated and disappointed, and said goodbye to the woman and her two children.

At this moment, the eldest son of the Yao family spoke, "Big brother, what are you looking for Apo?"

Wu Zhongyuan turned around when he heard this, "Do you know Abo?"

The eldest child nodded, and then shook his head again, "I don't know the person named Apo, but I have a sheep named Apo at home." ”

Wu Zhongyuan's heart sank when he heard this, "What did you say?"

"Apo is a Boer goat in my family. The big boy said.

"Where is it, take me there. Wu Zhongyuan said eagerly, Yao Ziqin said before he died that he should follow Apo, and did not say that Apo was a person.

The eldest son did not answer, but looked at his mother and brother in amazement.

"What's wrong?" Wu Zhongyuan's heart lifted to his throat.

"Apo is gone. The big boy said.

"Huh?!" Wu Zhongyuan's frightened face turned pale, "You killed it?"

"No, we sold it. The big boy said.

The woman said, "The head of the family has died, the children have to go to school again, there is no one to graze, and yesterday afternoon I sold all the sheep in the family. ”

Wu Zhongyuan rekindled his hope when he heard this, "Who did you sell it to?"

"Sold to the slaughterhouse. The woman said.

"Ah?!......h
