Chapter 783: Clues
Han Xuening woke up from her dream, she looked at the other people in the tent, they were still asleep, it must be the middle of the night.
The dream just now made her unable to sleep at all.
Why did this old black man appear in her dream again?
This black old man lacks his ring finger and middle finger on the left and right, could he be the mysterious person who kidnapped Murong Xue?
A lot of questions were turning in Han Xuening's mind, and she thought about it, it was very likely that this mysterious black old man was nearby.
She came out of the bed, put on a dress, pulled out the tent, and walked out.
It was pitch black outside, and the cool air made Han Xuening's mind sober up a lot.
She looked to the west of the road, and suddenly noticed a black gas floating in the distance.
Now, Han Xuening's eyesight could clearly see the scene two hundred meters ahead in the dark night, and she carefully looked at the places where the black qi rose.
It turned out that all this black gas rose from the trunk of a stout tree that was five or six meters high. Each of these trees is more than ten meters tall, and black air currents linger in the middle of the trees.
Han Xuening clearly saw the half of the black palm print at the trunk of the tree, and she understood that this was the black palm print left by the mysterious person when he left, with the help of the strength of the trunk.
The black gas around the palm print should be a highly toxic gas.
Han Xue Ning thought of the half of the remaining black palm prints left in the cave, if the palm prints in the cave were also surrounded by black air currents, it meant that the mysterious man was leaving in the direction of the west.
Han Xuening hurriedly returned to the cave, and found that in the corner of the palm print, there was indeed a faint black gas.
Han Xue Ning thought to herself, following the black gas left on the trees outside, she might find the mysterious man in black. In this way, she can also find Sister Murong Xue, who is still worried about Sister Murong Xue's safety.
She now hoped in her heart that that mysterious old poison could save Sister Murong Xue.
Han Xue Ning went all the way to the west, running quickly in the direction of the appearance of the black air current.
Soon, she chased out for more than ten miles, and the black airflow continued to extend westward, and Han Xuening chased for another twenty or thirty miles until the black airflow disappeared by a lake.
Could it be that the mysterious old poison crossed the lake by boat?
Han Xue stared at the surface of the lake, there were layers of pale gray air currents on the surface of the lake, hazy and hazy, and he couldn't see how wide the lake was.
I couldn't see it clearly in the middle of the night, so I had to wait for the fog to clear up during the day and then look for it.
Han Xuening made a mark by the lake, and when she returned along the way, she also made a mark. By the time we got to the tent, it was slowly getting brighter.
Han Xuening knew that it was almost five o'clock in the morning.
In the tent, the jade girl was still sleeping with Xiaochun and Xiaoxia.
Han Xuening had long lost her sleepiness and was waiting outside.
Soon after, the Jade Girl, Xiaochun, and Xiaoxia all came out of the camp.
"Sister! Why did you get up so early? After leaving the camp, the jade girl asked when she saw Han Xuening.
"Sister! I have something to discuss with you, and I've found a very important clue. Han Xuening called the jade girl out of the camp with Xiao Chun and Xiao Xia, and hurriedly said.
The four women gathered together, and after Han Xuening got up in the middle of the night, she found the black air mass and followed the black air mass to the lake twenty or thirty miles to the west, and told the three of them.
The jade girl was very curious, "Could it be that that black handprint can still emit poisonous black gas?" ”
Koharu and Konatsu are also very curious, and the three of them return to the cave to see if it is so magical?
The three of them came to the edge of the cave and looked at the place where half of the black handprints were left inside, and nothing unusual happened at all.
Han Xuening also walked over, at this time it was already dawn, and Han Xuening could only faintly see the faint black gas around the black handprint.
However, the three of them said they didn't see it.
Han Xuening knew in her heart that she might have this ability after connecting the meridian reversal method. The three of them couldn't see the black qi around the black handprints.
"This black gas can only be seen at night, and you may see it at night."
Everyone thought about it, and it was probably like this.
After eating some dry food and packing up the things she was carrying, Han Xuening led the way in front, and she made a lot of marks along the way, while the three of them followed behind.
The four of them walked westward for more than thirty miles, and finally reached the marked lake.
By this time, the fog on the surface of the lake had completely dissipated. You can clearly see that this is a large lake with a width of 100 meters, and the current on the lake is very fast.
On the opposite side of the lake is a small island, which is relatively large, and there are two low hills.
"Boss! With such a big lake in the way, we can't get through! Seeing the big lake in front of him, Koharu suddenly became difficult.
The jade girl said: "Let's go around and see if there are any boatmen passing by, give him some money, and let the boatmen take us across the river." ”
So, the four of them divided into two groups and searched for passing boats on both sides of the lake.
After looking for several times, he saw a small boat rowing in the center of the river in the distance, and Koharu immediately shouted into the distance to ask the boatman to row the boat over.
The boatman also saw that some girls on the shore were waving to him, so the boat turned around, changed direction, and rowed towards the girls.
When the boatman rowed the boat to the shore, Han Xuening and the others saw clearly that this was an old man in his sixties.
"Uncle! We want to go to the other side, I wonder if you can give us a ride? The water on the river is relatively fast, and the sound of the river slapping on the shore keeps coming, and Han Xuening can only shout loudly to the old man.
"Yes, girls, you all get on board."
The old man shouted to them as well.
Han Xuening and the four of them got on the boat one after another and thanked them.
"Girls, sit tight, I'm going to sail."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he rowed the oars in his hand vigorously, and the boat rowed against the current towards the opposite shore.
Han Xuening watched the boat move quickly in the water, and marveled at the old man's rowing skills.
Ten minutes later, the boat arrived on the opposite shore, Han Xuening asked Xiaochun to give the old man some money, but the old man shook his hand and said, "With a lot of effort, the girls should go ashore quickly." ”
After Han Xuening and the others went ashore, she thanked the old man again.
The old man smiled and said to them, "There used to be a village here, but now there is no one in the village. Girls, have fun, I'll be waiting for you here in a week. ”
The four of them were puzzled by the old man's words, why did he say that?
By this time, the old man was already rowing a boat, farther and farther from the shore, and soon disappeared into the lake.
Xiaochun suddenly shouted: "Could it be that this old man deliberately drove us across the lake?" ”
Han Xue thought for a while and said, "This old man should have come to pick us up, on such a big lake, there is no boat, just such a small boat." And what the old man just said, he said that in a week, he will be waiting for us here. Apparently they came to see us off on purpose. ”
Recalling what the old man had just said, there was no one in the village here, and everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in their hearts.
