"Later, I naturally refused to forget it like this, so I traveled all over the northwest and began to visit the master's friends back then, and finally let me find some clues of interest, but it also took me two years."

"One day I received a letter signed by my master, and he told me never to look into this matter again, otherwise it would be dangerous!"

"Then did your master say any reason?" Zhao San couldn't help but ask.

"No, but I naturally refused to give up, but for the next year, I didn't find anything, and this matter was slowly put aside." Raiko said softly.

From the feeling, Zhang Meng felt that this Lai Zi was a lawless character, and he would definitely not just forget it lightly, but at this time Lai Zi refused to say, he couldn't force people to say it with a knife, right? After listening to Lai Zi for a long time, Zhang Meng felt that his head was even more messy, how many secrets did he still have in his body, and how did this ghost vein come from.

"What I can tell you is that this ghost vein should be a curse, whether you can unlock this curse, you have to find it from the source!"

"The source?" Zhang Meng asked a little strangely, and thought about continuing to ask.

"I think the appearance of this thing should have touched something, but it's all my guess, and I can't tell the rest."

Raiko shook her head, as if she didn't want to go any further.

Seeing that Lai Zi refused to continue, Zhang Meng turned to ask: "Could that person not be your master, who was given a body by a monster or something." ”

Lai Zi couldn't cry or laugh: "I really doubt that you have been living in fairy tales for decades, where are there so many monsters?" It's just a monster that wants to pretend to be exactly the same as my master, so it's also difficult, right? There is nothing wrong with that person being my master, some of his living habits have not changed for decades, but his personality has suddenly changed drastically, which is what I am most puzzled about. ”

"Forget it, let's not talk about that, I think we need to go a different route. My arms are numb now, but I don't even see a ghost. ”

Zhao San also didn't want Zhang Meng to ask too much about his secrets. After all, Zhang Shaohong once said that Zhang Meng must not be allowed to know about Lop Nur, there must be his reasons in it. This Laizi's master was also in Xinjiang back then, so I'm afraid it has something to do with it......

"Well, it can't be, it looks like they're really at a fork in the road. Otherwise, we should catch up anyway with our speed. ”

Everyone hadn't stopped rowing their hands since just now, and if the lame boat they were on was really going in the direction of the undercurrent, then there was no reason why they couldn't catch up.

At this time, Zhang Meng glanced around, intentionally or unintentionally, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

"What's wrong, Ah Meng?" Zhao San asked with a frown.

"It's like we're going back to where we are."

Zhang Meng pointed to a stone carving not far away, Lai Zi and Zhao San glanced at it, and immediately recognized that this was the 'smiling man' they met after passing through the tunnel. That is, they rowed for almost an hour, but they didn't move forward!

"This river is actually a loop? Where did they go, the lame? ”

Zhao San's face was a little ugly, and he was starting to get a little nervous now.

"It can't be a ring road, if it's a ring road, this piece is definitely backwater, so where does the undercurrent come from?" Laizi said suspiciously.

"Let's not talk about that, I know that if he finds out that we are gone, he will definitely not leave the place. And now we have come around and still haven't found him, and there are only two reasons: the first is that they were killed; The second is that they discovered something on their own, leaving this undercurrent and going to other forks in the road. ”

Zhao San stuck a bamboo pole on the river bank to prevent the boat from moving forward.

Zhang Meng also nodded, even at home, Chen Cripple generally doesn't care about things, but if he explains something, then he will definitely plan a good plan and do things very carefully. Even Zhang Shaohong has said more than once that fortunately, Chen Cripple is not his enemy, otherwise he would definitely not be able to sleep at night.

"But we don't know which fork Uncle Cripple got into, and we've encountered at least six or seven forks so far!"

"Look carefully, if your lame uncle finds something, then he will definitely leave some mark." The sick ghost said softly, his face was a little unsightly, although he was covering the cloth, he still inhaled a lot of miasma, his body was not good, and he looked a little weak at this time.

Fortunately, the miasma has dissipated a lot at this time, otherwise it would be white, and I am afraid that I can't see it even if I hang a bamboo pole and hold up red pants.

"Shall we walk around the river again?"

Lai Zi was a little hairy when he heard it, he was about to scrap his hand after he had just drawn a circle, and now he actually had to do it again.

"Well, but the speed doesn't have to be fast, let's observe more where there are forks, and see if there are any marks or something." The sick ghost nodded, they were fascinated by Laizi's experience just now, otherwise how could they have paid attention to it.

"I hope it's not too far away from us, this lap will cost us an hour, and if we do it again, the sun will be noon, and if there are no clouds for a while, we will prepare to dry it on this boat!"

Zhao San scolded and scolded, and as soon as the bamboo pole in his hand was closed, the boat swayed and floated on the river again.

When he passed the third fork, Laizi's eyes lit up, and he jumped up from the boat and shouted, "Look over there, is there a strip of cloth hanging on that branch?" ”

Zhang Meng looked carefully for a long time, but still didn't find anything, so he had to wait for the boat to get closer to a few dozen meters, and then he found the trace of the cloth strip.

"Brother Laizi, your eyesight is so good, I couldn't see anything clearly from that distance just now!" Zhang Meng was amazed.

Before Lai Zi could speak, he interrupted Zhao San coldly: "What's this?" Back then, your third uncle went down to Tibet, and the gun rang out, what did you rely on? Relying on a piece of eyesight, the thief is three or four hundred meters away, if there is a movement in his hand, his body has to dodge, and this little brother's eyesight can only be regarded as average. ”

"Come on, third uncle, let's go and see if the strip of cloth is lame uncle!"

Zhang Meng hurriedly said that he would have to wait for at least ten more minutes when Zhao San finished chattering.

"You stinky boy!" Every time he said this allusion, he would interrupt Zhang Meng, and Zhao San was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

…………

"This is indeed the clothes ripped off the lame's body, it seems that they have entered this fork in the stream!"

The sick man took the strip of cloth off and said lightly.

"Hurry up, it's been almost two hours, and I don't know where they are now? Damn, how nice it would be to have a mobile phone, where would you need to be so annoying. Zhao San scolded.

At this time, mobile phones such as Motorola have begun to exist in Hong Kong, but the signal is extremely poor, and it can only be used in the central city of Hong Kong.

"Third uncle, why didn't I find out that you usually talk so much, hurry up and turn the direction down." Zhang Meng said angrily.

"That's not right!"

Laizi's brows furrowed deeply, he stared at the cloth for a long time, and finally said out loud.

"What's wrong?" Zhao San and the sick ghost both looked at Lai Zi, they have now tacitly accepted Lai Zi's identity, and what he said must have some truth.

"It doesn't look like it was torn off by itself. You see, the thread of this notch is completely torn apart by this branch, and if you tear it off and hang it on the branch, the hole through which the branch passes through it should be very smooth. ”

Lai Zi pointed to the strip of cloth, and Zhang Meng and the others saw that it was indeed so.

"Where did they go, Uncle Cripple? Isn't it this river? Zhang Meng didn't understand what Lai Zi was referring to.

"No, they're going here, but they should have been in a hurry. You see, this branch, although it protrudes a little bit from the river, can be dodged by turning a little sideways, but the old man actually hooked a piece of cloth down, and he must have been very alarmed at the time, maybe they found something......"

"Little brother mean there is danger here?" The sick ghost thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice.

"Hmm."

The sick ghost and Zhao San glanced at each other, and he said softly: "There is one of our brothers on the ship, so even if there is danger, we have to go to him, little brother, if you are afraid of danger and don't want to go, we will break up here!" ”
