Chapter 14 Peaks and Loops
The tongue in the water god's mouth is obviously only about half of a normal person, and it is impossible for such a short tongue to speak. How did Ye Xun say that he had heard the water god speak?
When I looked at Ye Xun, the latter also looked at me with clear eyes.
I said with a gloomy face, "Don't you want to say something?"
"I don't want to explain anything. If you don't believe me, let's go our separate ways!" Ye Xun stood up, threw down a sentence and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute!" I stood up and blocked Ye Xun with a long knife in one hand. The latter said calmly: "You are not my opponent, and I don't want to hurt you." ”
Without saying a word, I grabbed the hilt of the knife and aimed it between Ye Xun's vital points, and the latter also took a step away and put his hand behind his back - the guitar case behind him must be hiding the guy.
I was about to make a move when a scream suddenly came from the direction of the water god. As soon as I turned my head, I saw the god of water, whose hands and feet I had bound, bouncing wildly from the ground like a fish, with only his torso sideways. The sand and gravel on the ground were all over the place by it, but the water god suddenly stopped moving, twitched twice in a row, and stopped moving.
Is the god of water dead?
No sooner had this thought crossed my mind than I saw a layer of gills on the side of the water god's neck.
I was stunned for two or three seconds before I looked at Ye Xun: "I'm sorry!"
I have carefully observed the water god that was captured by Ye Xun last time, if you compare the two water gods together, the former is more human, except for fish scales and fish eyes, there are not many fish characteristics. The water god in front of me is more inclined to fish, and has even grown gills. The last water god is likely to speak.
Ye Xun quietly put down his palm and said, "It doesn't matter. Now that the water god is gone, what are we going to do?"
I looked up at the sky: "It's almost dawn, find a place to hide first." ”
Ye Xun and I hid by the lake for a day, and I was worried for a whole day. Now the clue is really broken. The trip we tossed last night did not catch the water god who could speak, but it was equivalent to leaving a clue for the police, who would definitely patrol along the shore of the lake, and it was impossible for us to fish for the water god again.
I've always thought I'd be smart, but now it doesn't seem like anything is in my calculations.
Although Ye Xun's appearance solved some of my doubts, it gave me even greater doubts. I hadn't escaped from the ghosts, and I was caught up in the water god monsters, and I had frog skin growing on my body. Fortunately, I got all my classmates into the police station, otherwise I would be in a more troubled situation now.
Ghosts are chasing me;
The god of water is chasing me;
The police were chasing me as well.
I can't handle any of them.
To get home, I have to get rid of the ghosts, to heal the frog skin, I have to get the water god, and to prove my innocence, I have to find proof.
All of these things need to be found first. But where do I go for clues now?
My classmates died, the tour guide died, the owner of the antique shop died, the god of water died, and all the clues that could be found were broken.
I just felt like my head was a mess. It wasn't until Ye Xun brought me back dinner that I looked at Ye Xun and said, "I'm going to go to the antique store to have a look." Are you going?"
Ye Xun nodded and said, "Yes." But does it make sense for you to go there?"
I frowned and said, "I always felt that there must be something in the antique store that I had overlooked." I'll have to go back and see ......."
When I was talking, I saw two joint defense team members coming from a distance, and Ye Xun and I hurriedly hid. The two members didn't see us, put a sign on the pole and turned away.
The two people posted a bounty for the police to collect clues, and the person in the photo was me.
I was not surprised by the police's reward, after all, when I talked to Zhang Shu on the phone, I had a little bit of a desire to continue "committing crimes". The police will not sit idly by and watch vicious crimes happen.
What surprised me was the photo next to my portrait, which was the bronze vessel that the owner had shown me. The announcement roughly means that I may have fled with important cultural relics, and I ask the general public to provide clues.
I couldn't help but laugh after reading it: "Haha...... There is no endless road, and our opportunity has come. ”
Ye Xun frowned and said, "Why didn't I see where the opportunity was?"
I told Ye Xun about the conversation between myself and the owner of the antique shop, and then explained: "It's okay to fool the layman with the boss's words, but you definitely can't fool the insider." ”
The two largest sources of antique dealers are the collection of white goods from the hands of the dilapidated family, and the other is the collection of black goods from the hands of thieves. The leading people in the antique shop have dealt with the thieves to a greater or lesser extent.
If the burglars get a heavy weapon, unless they are doing business alone, they will definitely monitor each other, so that no one will eat alone. The owner of the antique shop said that they were obviously deceiving people by dividing the heavy object into three parts, taking one for each and running for each thing. He may not have interacted with those two accomplices, but he would never be too far away, and he must have known each other's whereabouts. As long as one of them can get the heavy equipment out, the other two can come to the door without special contact, which is the nature of the people in the door, and no one can change it.
Since the police posted such a notice, the boss's two remaining accomplices must also be looking for me. As long as the other party comes, our opportunity will come.
After Ye Xun heard my explanation, his brows furrowed a little tighter: "How do you know that they will definitely be able to find them first? What if it's the police?"
I shook a finger and said, "You don't know the people in the rivers and lakes, they are often better informed than the police." I'll bet you, the people who found us first would have to be those two tomb robbers. So, don't follow me yet, I'll go out for a spin by myself, and then we'll find a place to wait for the fish to take the bait. ”
When I said this, I deliberately paused and said, "If the other party doesn't use a gun, how many people can you shoot?"
Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "I have singled out twenty people at most. ”
"That's enough. "After I deliberately separated from Ye Xun, I walked all the way to the edge of the county. I remember that when I came by bus, there were several small hotels near the county seat, and behind the hotels were barren mountains, which was just right for us to deal with people.
I first found a small hotel, deliberately covered half of my face with a sanitation hat, walked to the front desk of the hotel, and asked in a northeastern accent: "Boss, do you provide food here in addition to staying in the hotel?"
When the owner of the shop looked at my face, I deliberately ducked to the side. The latter didn't see my face clearly, so he couldn't help but be vigilant: "If you want to register at the hotel first, give me your ID card." ”
"Then I don't live. I turned and walked out, and without looking back, I went around the back of the inn and ran up the hill.
When I walked into the mountains, Ye Xun quietly caught up: "You're not afraid that the boss will call the police?"
I laughed and said, "The relationship between such a small hotel and the police is not very good, but the people in the rivers and lakes often wear a pair of pants." They are more likely to reach out to people in the rivers and lakes. Besides, if they call the police, won't we still be able to run?"
Ye Xun was so angry that I glared at him, but I didn't think so: "You can find a place to go first, and act when you have the opportunity in a while." ”
I found a leeward place and sat down leaning against a tree and closed my eyes, and it wasn't long before I heard footsteps. By the time I stood up and looked out, four or five people had already gathered around me.
The man at the head pressed the flashlight on my face, and took advantage of the flashlight to look at the notice in his hand: "It's him!"
Several people gathered around me at once, and I saw an opportunity to raise my scabbard and slash at a man's head. When blood splattered from the man's head, Ye Xun suddenly came out of the grass and swept his whip leg at a person's head, who fell to the ground without saying a word.
Ye Xun didn't even look at the other party, and slashed at the other person's neck......
In just a few seconds, the four people who surrounded him were all put to the ground by me and Ye Xun, and only the leader was still standing in place. The man who was smashed in the head by me did not faint, but he covered his head and rolled on the ground in pain.
I slowly walked over to the other man and flew up and kicked the man in the head. After the man's head hit the stone next to him with a "bang", the whole person stopped moving.
The leader, who was quite calm just now, saw me kick his men unconscious, and finally changed color: "What do you mean by this, two friends?"
I looked the other party up and down a few times and said, "My name is Wang Huan, and I am the person you painted with the wanted warrant." You're not chasing me for a bounty, are you?"
The man pretended to be calm and said, "I didn't understand what you meant. I did offend my friend, if ......"
I didn't wait for the other party to finish before interrupting: "I don't like to talk around the bend." I found your friend because I got into trouble with the god of water, and I haven't seen the actual object of the heavy weapon, it must have fallen into the hands of the god of water. I brought you here to stay alive. ”
When I said this, my face suddenly sank, and I looked at the other party with a fierce light: "If my friend doesn't give me a way to live, I don't care about the life of a person." ”
The other party hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "How can I trust you?"
The other party is also an old Jianghu, and the older the rivers and lakes, the more suspicious they are, and they will not easily believe in the threat of life and death. I can't trust the other party, and the rest of the matter can be very troublesome, after all, I won't really kill the other person.
After I was slightly silent, I quickly untied the gauze on my arm: "This is the wound left by the water god, see for yourself!"
The man shone a flashlight on my arm, and immediately walked over, grabbed my arm with one hand, and rubbed the other hand on the frog skin a few times, and then his face changed: "Follow me first." ”
Ye Xun and I glanced at each other, the latter nodded slightly, and I followed the man down the mountain. The man took me into the car they left at the bottom of the mountain, told the innkeeper to go to the mountain to find someone, and took Ye Xun and me away.
