Lin Shuo smoked a cigarette, and his face regained a bit of blood, but his expression was still hesitating, as if he was considering whether to say this.

After a long time, he finally spoke: "The keel wrench actually disappeared twenty-five years ago. ”

"Huh?" Anne looked surprised, "missing?"

"Stolen, to be exact. Lin Shuo sighed.

"Someone can actually steal the keel wrench from the Lin family?"

"Of course not for ordinary people. Lin Shuo shook his head, "But it's my mother who stole this wrench." ”

Anne chuckled inwardly, her face full of astonishment.

Lin Shuo continued, "Six years ago, there was news that the keel wrench was in Kunlun Mountain. So, my father took me and called a few insiders with good skills. These people have their own secret skills in the mountains and forests, and my father promised them that whoever finds the keel wrench will be theirs. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Shuo looked at the expression on Anne's face and explained: "Of course I know that the keel wrench is of great significance, but for me and my father, this is an ancestral thing, some thoughts left to us by our ancestors, very precious, but after all, it can't compare to relatives.

My mother disappeared with her things for nineteen years, and my father never complained about her, just wanted to find her.

In order to find her, even if you give up the keel wrench, it is worth it.

We thought that if we found the keel wrench, we would know her whereabouts.

But I didn't expect it to be a game.

Use the triple bait of the hooked snake to cross the robbery, the keel wrench, and my mother's whereabouts, and lay a killing game. ”

Lin Shuo's words were no less than thunder in Anne's heart.

She curled up, her hands on her knees, her head down, her mouth pursed, and she listened quietly.

At this time, Lin Shuo's words stopped, and Anne couldn't help but raise her head and ask, "Who would set up such a killing situation?"

"I don't know. Lin Shuo shook his head, "Actually, I know that it was a killing game, and it is also the conclusion that I have slowly come to in the past six years by constantly recalling what happened at that time in my mind."

Because there are so many coincidences and anomalies. The hooked snake has not crossed the catastrophe for more than 600 years, but at that time it said that it was going to cross the catastrophe. Keel Wrench and my mother had been missing for nineteen years, and with my father's connections, there was no news at all, but suddenly there was news. Moreover, it was a team of hunters who couldn't have had an accident, and it turned out to be an accident. ”

"Mr. Lin, in fact, I still can't believe it. Anne sighed, "Something could happen with such a team of hunters." Is that hooked snake really that powerful?"

"This beast is strong, and with our team configuration six years ago, it is not difficult to kill it. Lin Shuo shook his head, "However, when we went up the mountain, we didn't aim at it. After all, after so many years, this beast has a good reputation. So we searched for more than a month on the Kunlun Mountains before finally entering its territory. As a result, on the first night we entered its territory, it was traversed. ”

"What? did it really cross the road?" Anne's eyes widened.

"At least, it looks like it. Lin Shuo said, "At that time, it was unsuccessful, and finally it was killed by lightning." ”

"Dead?"

"Dead. ”

"So ...... here now?"

"I don't know. Lin Shuo shook his head, "There were too many strange things that night, and there were no clues at all. Therefore, this hooked snake came back from the dead and appeared in the Outer Khing'an Mountains, which is the only clue I can grasp at present. ”

"Oh. I see. Anne bowed slightly, and then asked, "Then how did these hunter seniors die?"

As soon as Anne asked, she regretted it.

Because she saw that Lin Shuo's face quickly turned pale, her fingers began to tremble violently.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked. Anne immediately apologized.

Today, Lin Shuo has said enough. Judging from his usual behavior, Anne can fully imagine the pain in his heart when he said those words.

So she suppressed her curiosity and said softly, "Mr. Lin, thank you for trusting me. That's all for today, don't talk about it anymore. ”

Lin Shuo closed his eyes and nodded, and said softly, "Yes, it's better not to say it." ”

Anne was slightly stunned, she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

At this time, a black shadow came out of the rain curtain and landed in front of Lin Shuo.

Hachi is back.

"Brother Shuo, there is a situation in the camp. The starling shook the rain from all over his body and said, "Go and see." ”

......

Despite the heavy rain in the sky, the mountain road at the moment is even more muddy and difficult to walk. But it didn't bother Lin Shuo and Anne, who were galloping through the mountains and forests.

Xiao Hachi stopped on Lin Shuo's shoulder and introduced what he had learned before:

"Brother Shuo, you shouldn't take those two scholars with you, you're in trouble now, right?"

"This morning, they secretly went to the river. Brother Shuo, it's normal that you didn't notice it, these two guys followed us all the way, they know your specialty, and the leeward outlet is avoiding us, and the smell can't be transmitted. ”

"And guess what, Yang Tuo, that idiot, fell from a tree while climbing a tree and broke his leg. ”

"The place where he broke his leg is the place where the villagers must pass on their way back. ”

The villagers looked, yo, there was a person lying on the ground, and there was an old man He Zihong next to him. The man on the ground knows the old hunter and has been to his house, but the old man He Zihong doesn't know him. This question, yes, these two nerds, exposed our camp. ”

"There is a group of big-headed soldiers in our camp, all with robbery, that's a standard weapon!"

"The villagers carried Yang Tuo back to the camp with all hands and feet, and as soon as they saw the gun, they thought that we were sent by the Russian government to deal with the Black Water Dragon King. ”

"Then let's take a break. People have just worshiped the Dragon King, don't do it!"

"Oh, don't say it, the people here are really fierce! Two hundred people, armed with shotguns, surrounded our camp. Look at that posture, either you die or I live!"

"Brother Shuo, this matter is not easy to do, Wei Xingshan's stupid big man is confused. ”

Starling birds chattered all the way, painting and coloring.

Lin Shuo and Anne listened as they hurried, and they had a good idea of the scene they were about to face.

Over two hills, the makeshift camp is on the opposite hillside.

After several days of continuous construction, the current temporary camp has become a scale.

Before, everyone traveled lightly, and more than half of the logistics materials were left in Jalinda.

After determining that the target of the trip was nearby, Wei Xingshan sent a small team yesterday to transport supplies from Jialinda along the waterway.

At present, this temporary camp is like a temporary command post, with seven large tents, six outside and one inside, showing the layout of the stars holding the moon.

The camp can't be too far from the water source, so it's only two hills from the village, and sooner or later it will be discovered by the locals.

But everyone didn't care about this before, after all, there is a guy in his hand, and he has enough confidence.

Just in case, Wei Xingshan also brought people to build a circle of fortifications around the tent with ammunition boxes and sacks in the past two days, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.

Now just outside this makeshift camp, it is already crowded with local villagers.

At this time, the rain has been lightened and the visibility is okay. Lin Shuo looked at the posture on the other side, and inexplicably felt familiar.

He remembered that on the book "Kyushu Foreign Objects" at home, there was a picture of "Surrounding the Mountain" in the Wei and Jin dynasties, which depicted the scene of the hunters surrounding the mountains and fighting tigers.

At that time, hunters were not as rare as they are now, they were still a common industry, and most of them were ordinary people.

What Lin Shuo is currently seeing in front of him is this scene, these villagers surrounding the mountain are standing very similar to the "Surrounding Mountain Map", and they are also in groups of three or five, with an interval of about ten meters in between, enclosing the temporary camp.

The difference is that in their hands, it is no longer a U-shaped beast fork, but a double-barreled shotgun.

In the camp, Wei Xingshan, a big man, was eye-catching, he was holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, and he was talking nervously.

Lin Shuo's perspective turned and looked at the valley opposite, and he soon found that Wang Yong was quietly touching the mountain with three mercenaries. It seems that they want to clear a passage for the camp from the perimeter.

However, Wang Yong and the others came to a place more than 20 meters behind the villagers, stopped, and did not act rashly, but lurked.

"It's still a bit of a brain. Anne saw all of this in her eyes and whispered, "If you really do it, the situation will be out of control." ”

"Let's go, let's take a look. Lin Shuo waved his hand and walked quickly down the mountain.
