Chapter 144: The East Wind Arrives First
After Sanhu finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan fell into astonishment again, in fact, the average life expectancy of human beings in ancient times was not as low as the historians believed, far more than thirty years old, according to Wu Tai's memory, although the living environment was harsh in ancient times, it was still very common for people to live to be fifty or sixty years old, but there were very few people in seventy or eighty, this eighty-three-year-old wizard was considered to be a long life no matter what, this person was the only person who could transfer time, this person's body did not seem to be very good, maybe one day there would be three long and two short, and no one would be able to transfer time, and the direct impact of this matter on him was that once he went back, he would never come back。
Although he didn't plan to come back before, not coming back and not coming back are two completely different concepts, just like having no money to spend and no money to spend is the same nature, the former is subjectively controlled, while the latter is objective and passive.
When he came back to his senses, Wu Zhongyuan climbed up to the silver jar with a rifle on his back, the main body of Sanhu in the silver jar, the head had been cut off by Wu Tai with a bowstring, and only a fat body was left in the silver jar, due to excessive obesity, it was difficult to distinguish limbs and torso, like a vat of fat lard.
"Don't worry, I'll still save you. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Thank you. Sanhu took a deep breath.
"Is there anything else you want to remind me?" Wu Zhongyuan picked up his rifle.
"No, let's do it. Sanhu said, probably in an excited mood, and his voice trembled a little.
"Okay, get ready, I'll count to three, one, two, three. "The gun didn't go off, the safety didn't open.
"Again, one, two, three. "The gun hasn't gone off yet, the bullet hasn't been loaded.
Sanhu was frustrated and helpless, "Are you killing me or are you scaring me?"
"I'm sorry, I'm here. Before he finished speaking, the gun went off, he did deliberately scare Sanhu before, this guy was afraid that he would not agree to the rescue, and left the greatest resistance to the end before saying, if you don't scare and scare it, how can you be worthy of it. However, he still had good intentions, and in the end, he saved Sanhu from the torment and torture of the countdown.
As soon as Sanhu died, the black mist blocking the door immediately disappeared, and at the same time, the monster's screaming and howling came from afar.
Wu Zhongyuan jumped off the silver tank and ran out of the silver house, only to see that the herd of beasts that had retreated into the distance was swarming towards it.
Where did he dare to hesitate, threw his rifle, turned around and ran.
Wang Xinran and Xiao Qin were waiting on the mountainside, saw him coming, and hurriedly entered the cave with him, the cave is about ten meters long, the interior is very narrow, at the end of the cave is a copper box, the same size as the one seen on the road when everyone came, after the three of them entered, the copper box felt the weight, the mechanism was activated, and the copper box began to rotate and sink.
This organ uses the pressure of groundwater, there is a circular waterway dug under the copper box, if there is no carrying weight, the copper box is pushed on top by the water column, after the weight of the copper box reaches a certain level, the copper box begins to sink, the water in the waterway overflows in all directions, the copper box slides rapidly along the waterway, the waterway is in an irregular V-shaped shape, after reaching the bottom, the angle of the copper box is offset, and the pressure of the groundwater pushes it to another upward channel.
The other end of the passage is located underwater, after the copper box arrives, the three people leave the float, the copper box is filled with water and then go down again, and the water is removed on the way up to the other end, and the water is returned to the other end.
The outlet is located under the water of the Yazi River, not in the deepest part of the water, and the person who designed this mechanism may have taken into account the problem of sediment accumulation, and the outlet was designed on a stone wall in the deep water, but it is also thanks to the designers of the year that took this link into account, otherwise the exit would have been blocked by sediment.
There are still some huge carved stones left around the exit, which should be the ruins of some kind of building, the most likely is the place where the wizard changed his clothes and rested, there should have been an upward passage to avoid the water, after all, it is much more decent to walk out of the river in a chic and calm way than to climb up from the wet water.
At that time, it was four or five o'clock in the morning, the sky was not yet bright, the temperature was very low, and the three of them had cold lips and shivered after going ashore.
Huang Hailin was not far downstream, and a bonfire had already been lit, and the three of them walked over to meet him.
Zhao Ying and Lin Qingming were not nearby, so they knew that they had already taken the opportunity to run away, not to mention that Huang Hailin still needed to support Yang Yi when he was floating, even if he was empty-handed, it was difficult to stop the two.
Such a result was also expected by Wu Zhongyuan and Wang Xinran, after Huang Hailin had already sent a distress signal, and soon after everyone changed their clothes, the rescue vehicle rushed over.
According to the relevant regulations, after entering this kind of area, they must undergo safety quarantine and isolation observation, but Wu Zhongyuan was in a hurry to get the two spirit stones, so he eagerly urged Wang Xinran to drive to the airport.
"Why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Wang Xin was puzzled.
"You'll know when you go. Wu Zhongyuan was not in a hurry to show his bottom to Wang Xinran, otherwise Wang Xinran would have sent someone to arrest Zhao Ying.
"You send someone to find out their whereabouts and whereabouts as soon as possible. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Hmm. Wang happily agreed.
"Let's see if there's a suitable flight, and if not, transfer a plane to send us back." Wu Zhongyuan said again.
"What are you doing in a hurry to go back?" Wang Xinran asked suspiciously.
Wu Zhongyuan also felt that it was inappropriate to completely hide it from Wang Xinran, so he said in general, "Take a very important thing, and we must ensure that we can rush back to the provincial capital before them." ”
"Something very important, spirit stones?" asked Wang Xinran.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't nod, but he didn't shake his head either, which was equivalent to acquiescence.
"How do you know where her spirit stone is?" Wang Xinran's words were exactly what Wu Zhongyuan expected.
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer.
Wang Xinran vaguely guessed the truth, "That monster in the silver house told you?"
Wu Zhongyuan did not deny it either.
"Does it tell you where the other two are?" Wang happily asked.
Wu Zhongyuan did not speak.
Seeing him spitting and spitting, Wang Xinran was very dissatisfied, his face was gloomy, and he no longer spoke to him.
There is a suitable flight, there is no need to mobilize the crowd to ask for a special plane, while waiting for the plane, the headquarters came with a message, although it is impossible to determine the specific location of Lin Qingming and Zhao Ying, but several cameras have captured images suspected of them, and the headquarters infers that they are fleeing in the northwest direction.
This news made Wu Zhongyuan secretly relieved.
At about 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed, and there were already military vehicles waiting at the airport.
Wu Zhongyuan said a specific address, and Wang Xinran drove there after locating it.
An hour later, the two rushed to the destination, the security work of this foreign-funded enterprise is very in place, but the security work is not in place, and the security work in place is not enough Wang Xinran to show his identity, and rushed directly with a gun.
Since it was a lunch break, the chairman was not in the office, and the door of the office could not be opened, so Wang Xinran asked the local military police to come to assist, and at the same time asked the head of the department to notify the chairman to come over immediately.
Wu Zhongyuan did not object to Wang Xinran's approach, because the chairman would definitely try to inform Zhao Ying after hearing the news, and this was exactly the result he wanted to see, if Zhao Ying could get the news, he would know that he was lying to her, and he would leave as soon as possible to avoid being arrested.
The chairman did not come under the pretext of having a meeting in the field, and the two had no scruples at this time, and directly found a locksmith to open the door of the office.
After opening the door, Wu Zhongyuan found the safe hidden inside the wall, skillfully entered the password, opened the safe, opened the bottom drawer, took out a square iron box, opened it, and two spirit stones were revealed in front of the two of them.
Seeing the spirit stone, Wu Zhongyuan let out a rough breath, enough, after twists and turns, he finally got enough spirit stone and got the "ticket" for the return trip. ”
"You already knew that there were two spirit stones here, right?" Wang Xinran asked coldly.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, Wang Xinran knew the specific number of spirit stones in his hand, and he also knew that it was enough to get these two spirit stones, the reason why she asked this question was actually to accuse him of deliberately letting Zhao Ying go.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, Wang Xinran stared at him and forced him to answer, and in the end Wu Zhongyuan could only speak, "She saved my life, I can't watch her go to jail." ”
Wang Xinran was very dissatisfied with Wu Zhongyuan's answer, the reason was very simple, she hated Zhao Ying, and the reason why she hated Zhao Ying was not only because of her different positions, but also because Zhao Ying was her rival. But on the other hand, she was very satisfied with Wu Zhongyuan's answer, because Wu Zhongyuan did not forget Zhao Ying's help to him because of his alienation from Zhao Ying, which can be called love and righteousness.
After glancing at Wu Zhongyuan, Wang Xinran asked, "Do you know the consequences of your subordinates' mercy?"
"What do you mean, my brother?" Wu Zhongyuan asked rhetorically.
"Yes," Wang nodded happily, "The black suit didn't know that it was enough for you to get these two spirit stones, in her impression you are at least two pieces away, and she still has one in her hand, and she also knows the whereabouts of the other piece, in order to force you to cooperate with them, after she learns about the situation here, she will go to get the other spirit stone as soon as possible, she also told you before that the place where the spirit stone is located is more dangerous than Sanxingdui, and your senior brother is very dangerous to follow her." ”
"I know it's dangerous for my brother to follow her," Wu Zhongyuan smiled bitterly, "but what do you think I can do? tell my brother that my sister-in-law is not saved, let him leave Zhao Ying and turn himself in?"
Wang Xinran didn't answer, she was a bystander, and the bystander's understanding of the matter was not comprehensive enough after all, empathy, Wu Zhongyuan's current dilemma was replaced by a better solution.
"What else do you need me to do now?" Wang asked happily.
"Let her go. Wu Zhongyuan sighed.
"I won't embarrass you, I can let her go," Wang said happily, "What about your senior brother?
Wu Zhongyuan groaned silently and did not answer.
Wang Xinran said, "You can't take him away, it takes a lot of energy to open and maintain the wormhole, and the energy contained in these spirit stones in your hand is definitely not enough to carry two people." ”
Wu Zhongyuan still didn't speak, he was really thinking about the possibility of taking Lin Qingming away just now.
"Let's go, get out of here, let them clean up the aftermath. Wang happily pointed to the military police waiting outside the house.
The two left the office, left the building, and got into the car they had come from.
Wang Xinran didn't drive, didn't speak, just sat in the driver's seat.
Wu Zhongyuan knew that Wang Xinran was waiting for him to make a decision, and after a silence, he said, "Let's go to Huangxian Hospital." ”
"What are you going to do?" Wang asked happily.
"Go pick up my sister-in-law ......"
