Chapter 17: The Mystery of the Jungle
The blood was not fresh and did not fully coagulate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info picked up a little blood, smelled it carefully, and felt that it didn't look like human blood, and the smell of human blood was not so heavy. According to the climate of Sandfly Peak, it would take at least two hours for the blood to coagulate like this. I calculated the time, which coincided with the time when he and Gui Ning left.
After a careful examination of Du Yuan's body, he did not find any wounds, only the two sleeves and the placket were torn into strips of cloth. He lay on the ground, holding his breath, but he didn't hear any sound that seemed to be Dou Xin.
"General Du, wake up." Shaking Du Yuan slightly, Du Yuan woke up in a daze, feeling that his brain was chaotic, and he raised his eyes to look around only to realize that something was wrong.
"What are you bringing me here for?" Du Yuan yawned and asked.
"There was a strange voice in Baixi Village, and Ning Ye and I went to investigate. I came back first, and found that you and Miss Xin were not in the same place, so I found this place. Don't you know the whereabouts of Miss Xin? He asked rhetorically.
"Xin girl?" Du Yuan scratched his head, and also found a pool of blood behind him, his heart sank suddenly, and he didn't think of anything after thinking about it carefully, and looked down at his torn clothes, which was even more unbelievable. After many years of marching, Du Yuan rarely slept so deeply, and when he thought about it carefully, he only felt that the dry food tonight was a little more astringent than usual, and it was probably mixed with drugs.
He didn't say anything about Gui Ning's medicine, and only explained to Du Yuan that it was normal to sleep heavily after working hard during the day. I still have doubts: the place where Du Yuan and Dou Xin settled is dozens of meters away from the current place, how can Dou Xin, a girl, have the strength to drag the strong Du Yuan over. Besides, Gui Ning's medicine was not heavy, and Du Yuan would not be dragged so far without consciousness even if he slept deeply. Also, what happened to Dou Xin. If she really encountered danger, what kind of danger made her disappear before she had time to wake Du Yuan?
Du Yuan felt that Yi was very suspicious, and took advantage of the kung fu to turn around, grabbed Yi, and pressed Yi to the ground with his knees. "Don't fool me, tell me where you got Xin girl. You broke up my fourth brother and drugged me, what kind of heart did you have? If you hurt Xin's girl, I'm not done with you. ”
When he heard this, he sneered: "It's the right thing to find Miss Xin now, and it's just a waste of time for the general to use these nonsense suspicions." The general captured me, neither of us can go to Miss Xin separately, if it is really difficult to understand Miss Xin, don't find a little monk to bear this responsibility. Du Yuan was unmoved, and only believed that it was Dou Xin. was so anxious that he couldn't persuade Du Yuan, and seeing that he couldn't take advantage of the hard encounter, he let Du Yuan control himself.
After a while, Gui Ning had already stolen the medicine and came back, and saw that the fire had been extinguished, and it took a while to find Du Yuan and Yi after following the sound.
"Since you come back, we will interrogate this wild monk together. He drugged me and took you away, and now the whereabouts of Xin Yatou are unknown, I have to force the truth out of his mouth. Du Yuan stood up and stretched his calves.
As soon as Gui Ning heard this, he knew that Du Yuan was talking nonsense, and hurriedly stopped: "Big brother is confused, a master and I went to Baixi Village together, but he only came back half a step earlier than me, how can I have time to hide my sister-in-law." As for the drug, it was my younger brother and I saw that the eldest brother was keeping vigil for the past few days, and I was afraid that you would not be able to bear it, so I added less than half a cent to your dry food. ”
"Are you telling the truth? You can't lie to me for this monk! Du Yuan asked, and seeing that Gui Ning had already rushed over, he let go of his grip. One got up from the ground, calmly rubbed his wrist, and said nothing.
"Why should I hide it from you! I'm a fool! Gui Ning was so angry that he didn't pay much attention to Du Yuan, so he twisted the blood on the ground like Gui Ning and smelled it.
"The eldest brother can let go of half of his heart, this blood is not the sister-in-law's." Gui Ning affirmed.
Although Du Yuan still had doubts about it, he knew that the blood stains were not Dou Xin's, and he could still have some luck in his heart.
"I've followed the bloodstains to the front, and the bloodstains have only been extended for more than ten steps before they are gone, and there is nothing left on Miss Xin's way." One added.
The sky was already dark, and the three of them split up in the forest to find Dou Xin's whereabouts. Gui Ning still had the medicine he had stolen for Dou Xin in his hand. Before this night, Dou Xin was his potential prey, but this time he really wanted to see Dou Xin come back safely and use this medicine. It's like facing the same little fish, if you want to slaughter it and stew it, you have no selfish intentions, just to satisfy your desires; Once I found a celadon jar for it, led the water of the clear river, and fed it with good bait, I had more emotions for it, and I also regarded it as a living life, and knew how to cherish it.
One is the most anxious of the three and the least exposed. Although Dou Xin has a cold temperament, he is a rule-abiding person, and he will not easily make people anxious, unless he really encounters a disaster. I secretly regretted that if I didn't go to Baixi Village to stop Guining and stay next to Dou Xin all the time, I wouldn't be in the current situation. The master and the master only explained this one thing to themselves, and they couldn't do it well, so how could they take on the great responsibility of Tongyin Temple in the future.
Du Yuan searched for a long time, and actually remembered some fragments. He remembered that there was a fire in front of him, but he didn't open his eyes, and there was the cry of the little beast's milk. He thought it was just a dream sound, but after thinking about it carefully, it was also mixed with the sound of people breathing rapidly, probably Dou Xin's voice. The soil of the forest was very soft, and Du Yuan could see his footprints clearly imprinted on the ground, but from the place where he stayed last night to the place where he was finally found, no human footprints were left.
"Girl, if you're still there, just reply!" I heard Du Yuan's shouting at the top of his throat far away, but he didn't hear any echo.
Gui Ning suddenly remembered that his subordinates would be at the Sandfly Summit in the past two days, and he blew the whistle. After a while, echoes were heard in the scattered villages of the three directions. Gui Ning blew the assembly whistle, then jumped up to the tree and watched his men gather one by one. In less than a quarter of an hour, there were six people gathered under the tree, four King Kong, the tea stall Xiaoer and another capable subordinate, only Kong An was missing.
Gui Ning jumped down from the tree and hit the heads of the six people. "What kind of ears do you all have, you don't recognize my whistle, but listen to other people's orders, more actively than listen to my orders!"
"Why is Ning Ye so angry, he blames the little monk for using Ning Ye's people to accumulate good deeds for himself." I heard the sound of chaotic footsteps from a distance, and in a panic, I thought that Dou Xin had appeared, so I hurriedly pounced, and saw Gui Ning teaching his subordinates.
When Gui Ning saw it, his face couldn't hold it, so he stopped. "Hurry up and find my sister-in-law in the woods, whoever finds me first will let him make up for his mistakes, and he can be exempted from this punishment."
"Lord Hui, there is still Lang Zhong in the post station in Baiwang Village, who is treating the villagers who are infected with the plague, and after noon, he has to be sent to another village where the plague is rampant, this matter is in the hands of the small one, and the small one is ......," the tea stall Xiao Er replied.
"You go and take care of the affairs of the village, and if you can't do it, I will ask you." Gui Ning said impatiently, and said Amitabha Buddha on the side.
Guining's six men quickly dispersed, and they all had to go in their original direction. Gui Ning held the whistle and played it with strange fingering. This was a one-of-a-kind order for Kong An, but there was no reply. Gui Ning blew several times in a row, but still didn't respond. The whistle sound is unique, and it will be heard within a hundred miles, and others only think that it is the call of birds, and only those trained by Guining can understand it. Each fingering blows a different sound and represents a different order.
This was the first time that Kong An did not respond, and Gui Ning was stunned in place, with a layer of cold sweat on his body.
