Chapter 217: Nine Plains North (1)
To be precise, there was not a note under the pillow, but a piece of toilet paper, and it was estimated that Xu Guan had no chance to find real paper under the circumstances, so he had to tear off a small piece of toilet paper from the bathroom and write a message on the toilet paper.
The note reads five neat words: Jiuyuan North Grassland
The handwriting is thicker and brownish, and the position of the words on this piece of toilet paper is slightly stiffer than the others. The orange cat lowered his head and sniffed lightly, although the smell was very faint, but it could still be smelled, it was the smell of blood.
Li Dazhuang, who had a head sticking in from the round hole in the door, saw the orange cat open the pillow, squatting there motionless with his head down, and asked anxiously: "Senior Huangliang, have you found it?"
"Found it. The orange cat replied back.
When Li Dazhuang heard this, he was overjoyed, since he had found it, he didn't have to be as careful as he is now. He pushed open the door with a bang, rushed to the bed in two steps, and lay next to the orange cat and saw the five words on the white toilet paper.
After he saw it, he habitually read it out: "What do you mean by the Northern Grassland of the Nine Plains?"
"I guess it's the grassland north of the Nine Plains. ”
"I know the grassland, where is Jiuyuan?"
"Jiuyuan is in the territory of northern Mongolia. The orange cat patiently explained to him: "Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms has heard of it, he is from Jiuyuan." ”
"Oh, I see. Li Dazhuang nodded again and again, the common sense that the orange cat said was so profound to him, and he felt that Huangliang's predecessors were knowledgeable and well-informed.
After the orange cat answered Li Dazhuang's question, he wondered in his heart, what did the mysterious person kidnap Xu Guan to do on the grassland. Then he thought that there were some tribes on the grassland that believed in shamanism in the past, and some of them were similar to the cultivators on the Central Plains, and they were also equipped with strange arts. It's just that later, especially in modern times, there have been very few news of shamans. Could it be that Xu Guan was kidnapped by a shamanic stranger? But why?
The orange cat was lost in thought again, and the information he received was unexpected, which made him feel a little painful and feel even bigger.
Li Dazhuang accidentally took the piece of toilet paper in his hand, leaned in front of his face, looked at it carefully, smoked for a while, and suddenly said in surprise as if he had discovered a new world: "Hey! This is toilet paper." Can you write too?"
"Don't worry about that just yet. The orange cat pulled away from his thoughts and said to him, "Destroy this piece of paper, don't let other people see it." ”
Li Dazhuang responded, and rubbed the half of the toilet paper into crumbs with both hands, and never returned to its original appearance.
"I have to go to the grassland now and go with me to see what Xu Guan is doing when he is taken away. The orange cat paused, seeing that Li Dazhuang didn't understand what he meant, and continued: "Originally, what we said was that you would come here with me to find out the clues about Xu Guan. Now that the clue has been found, you ......"
"Hey!" Li Dazhuang reacted when he heard this: "Senior Huangliang, do you want me to go back?"
"Hmm. The orange cat's face was a little solemn: "The identity of the mysterious person who kidnapped Xu Guan is still uncertain, and if you chase it to the grassland, the situation may be even more dangerous." And the distance is long, and it takes a lot of time. If the two of us don't send news back for a long time, your master will inevitably be worried. ”
"What's that. Li Dazhuang waved his hand very righteously: "My master lives well in the inn branch, and it will be fine." Besides, if the grassland is really as dangerous as you say, I have to go with you, otherwise I won't be at ease. What if something happens to you?"
The orange cat sighed secretly when he heard this, although the child didn't save face for himself as an old guy when he spoke, but it was also from the bottom of his heart, which made it more or less moved. At the moment, he stopped pushing: "Okay, then let's go." ”
"Do you still need to erase those two lines of words on the wall?" Before leaving the door, Li Dazhuang saw the two lines of calligraphy on the wall, although he didn't recognize it, he could still vaguely distinguish them, they were two lines of words: "I can smash the wall." ”
The orange cat thought for a moment: "It doesn't matter if it's destroyed or not. It's a code, and even if they see it, they won't be able to understand it. ”
……
On the way to the grassland north of Jiuyuan.
A medium-sized family car arrived in Jiuyuan City and was shuttling through the city at a constant speed. Xu Guan sat in the back seat, through the window glass, looking at this city that used to be far away, but now it has become a city full of high-rise buildings, and the indescribable emotion in his heart, if he wants to open his mouth to speak, I am afraid that he can't help but sigh again.
On the seat next to him is Wu Yan, and on the other side of Wu Yan is a raccoon dog, because the model is wide enough, the three of them are not too crowded in the back seat, and the front driver and co-pilot are two old slaves.
About two days ago, when these people were still in the imperial capital, Wu Yan, just in case, after monitoring Huang Fuyi and his party leaving the imperial capital, he sent Tanuki and two old slaves to check around the imperial capital and its vicinity, and after making sure that there were no other suspicious people, he searched around the abandoned cars on the street and found this medium-sized family car with the key still inserted under the steering wheel for some reason. A few people happened to get into the car and rushed all the way north.
Xu Guan has not said a word since he got into the car, and he has been looking out of the car window with a slanted face all the way. Wu Yan looked at his pale side face, slightly moved, and lightly touched the raccoon dog on the other side, and the raccoon girl cleverly took out a bottle of mineral water from a large bag of food in his arms and handed it to the young lady.
Wu Yan took it, unscrewed the lid, sent it to Xu Guan, and said softly: "I haven't eaten all the way, let's drink saliva." ”
As expected, Xu Guan was still deaf, didn't look back, and didn't even roll his eyes.
Earlier, Wu Yan knew that Xu Guan's cultivation was completely lost, and his body was not as good as before, compared to ordinary people, and he couldn't go hungry after a long journey, so he asked the raccoon dog to find some food to take with him, so that Xu Guan could eat on the road.
The raccoon dog walked around two streets, and also hit the idea of a large supermarket with empty but full shelves, and packed a large bag sturdily, and carried it to the car.
However, Xu Guan refused to eat these foods, and in the day and a half of the journey, Wu Yan handed him all kinds of food no less than ten times, but he refused them silently.
Wu Yan sighed softly, closed the lid, put away the mineral water, and held Xu Guan's somewhat cold palm with his slender hand, and was silent for a while.
Suddenly, Wu Yan's eyes froze, and the slender hand holding Xu Guan seemed to have touched something, pulled Xu Guan's hand, opened it, and saw that there was a small scabbed wound on the tip of Xu Guan's index finger.
After his hand was pulled over, Xu Guan was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly pulled his hand out of Wu Yan's hand and hid it in his arms.
"Your finger hurts. Wu Yan stared at Xu Guan's pale side face, which was obviously a little flustered.
"Hmm. Xu Guan replied sullenly.
"How did it hurt?" Wu Yan continued to look at him.
"I accidentally got hurt. Xu Guan was a little weak-hearted, and twisted his face a little more in the direction of the window, leaving only the back of Wu Yan's head.
"What are you panicking about?" Wu Yan's slender hand put on Xu Guan's back shoulder.
"No panic. Xu Guan didn't know why, after becoming a night watchman, he had faced the enemy so many times and experienced so many life and death dangers, but he was still restless when he lied in front of Sister Lin.
"You don't dare to look at me when you lie, and this habit has never changed. Wu Yan said this, then took his hand back and stopped asking him.
Xu Guan secretly breathed a big sigh of relief, hid in his sleeve and clenched his fist and quietly released it, the scab that had just formed was broken, and the wound oozed blood again.
