Chapter 379: Keeping Silent Lake at Night

The sun is shining and the breeze is gentle. In the blue sky, a few new flocculent clouds hung high, and a lark in heat flapped its wings, carrying the clouds, and sang there to its heart's content, as if it was deliberately awakening its favorite partner and coming to create a loving home. The beautiful singing, sometimes high-pitched and sometimes mournful, provoked the frogs in the lake to close their mouths that swallowed the sky.

Shoko built a trembling little pergola out of twigs and artemisia beside a tall cluster of red willows, and let Anarhan sit underneath it, sullenly eating naan and raisins. Seeing Analhan take a sip of cold boiling water, Qu Mei's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Xiangzi glanced at her lovingly, and said to herself: "-Hey, there is no barbecue, there is no hot milk tea, and Qin Ah Da is not around, and life is really sad." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Anarhan sneered and almost grabbed it. Hurriedly took a sip of water, smiled sweetly and said, "I think it's good, I'm not sad at all." It would be better if I could be with Brother Huzi, I could go a day without eating. As he spoke, his eyebrows were raised lightly, and his face was bright.

Xiangzi smiled knowingly and said thoughtfully: "Do you know all the forks in the reeds?" If somebody moved, I mean, if somebody in that place had obviously moved, would you be able to tell? ”

Anarhan tilted his head and thought about it, and said with some lack of confidence: "It's almost, anyway, I can see that something is wrong when I come to me." As he spoke, his slightly childish face seemed to be full of confidence again.

As he was talking, he saw Huzi quietly flash over like a cat. Without saying a word, he grabbed the leftover half of Anarhan's naan and devoured it. Seeing that Huzi was choked and stretched out his neck, Anarhan hurriedly grabbed the kettle and hit it on Huzi's mouth.

With a sip of cool boiling water, Huzi swallowed the contents of his mouth, and said with a slight gasp: "That thing led us around the lake all morning, and we didn't see anything to do, just walked on the reed pole and tied a strip of cloth." As he spoke, he took out the reed pipe and carefully took out a small strip of cloth.

Xiangzi looked at it carefully, sniffed it again, looked at the sparkling lake in amazement, and said for a while: "Hurry up and take Anarkhan, go into the water from the south bank, and follow the route of the goods to see if you find anything." In the evening, I called Jia Hu and Wuzi to have a meal together. ”

Before the words fell, Anarhan raised his hands together with excitement, a small piece of naan, and a few raisins stuffed into the tiger's mouth, as if he was feeding his beloved jujube red horse, patient and comfortable.

Huzi and Anarhan rowed a small boat, like a couple in love, singing and humming songs from the south. Near the man's detour, Anarkhan suddenly waved his hand to stop the boat. I saw her put her hand on her forehead, and muttered suspiciously: "Wasn't it like this before, why is there an extra mile?" ”

Huzi then looked in the direction of Anarhan's finger, where the strip of cloth was tied. His heart couldn't help but move violently, and he lost his voice: "Do you think something is wrong?" ”

Scratching his scalp, Anarhan muttered to himself, "I remember that place was a round reed, and the boat could circle around for a mile, and I really don't understand why there was an extra piece and made two forks in the lake." As he spoke, he looked puzzled.

Huzi examined it carefully for a while, and suddenly felt a shock in his heart: From this angle, isn't the whole reed just a horse galloping with its hooves raised? This discovery made Huzi excited, and he hugged Analhan to his chest with some forgetfulness, grabbed her arm happily, pointed there, and said, "Look! Does it look like your jujube red horse? ”

Analhan was slightly stunned for a moment, and then clapped his hands happily and exclaimed, "It's really like my jujube red horse!" ”

After being delighted, Huzi drew a circle around the 'horse', and it was strange to say that only at that angle could the outline of the horse be seen, and there would be no trace in another place. Huzi couldn't help but secretly admire that there were masters among the bandits.

However, there is a phenomenon that makes Huzi puzzled, this place, after the goods left, they dived underwater and searched carefully, the reeds inside are intertwined, densely falling at the bottom of the lake, there is not even a hole that can enter people, is this just a portal? Is there a cave nearby? With deep doubts and new discoveries, Huzi turned the bow of the boat and rowed towards the shore with all his might.

The sun, which is gradually blessed, may have glimpsed the spring color of the moon, and turned its round face into fiery red. Looking at the cotton sheep that ate into a round belly, squeezing each other, and walking back leisurely, Xiangzi felt an inexplicable sense of relief and comfort in his heart. The domineering ram sniffed this, sniffed this, and finally lay on the ewe's back and trembled.

Xiangzi secretly glanced at Anarhan, and saw that she seemed to turn her head shyly, pretending to be nothing, but the crimson on her face exposed her inner emotions, and Xiangzi knew in her heart that Anarhan understood.

Maimaiti asked the three women to boil a big pot of mutton soup, and the dinner saved Shuzhen and Juanzi's hard work. So, Xiangzi simply gathered the people, and everyone pondered the Tao in the lake together.

After listening to Huzi's eloquent talk about the discovery of the divine horse in the lake, Xiangzi pondered for a moment, smiled slightly, and said: "This is clear why the goods are going to be launched from the south bank." ”

As he spoke, he took out a strip of cloth for everyone to see, Jia Hu sniffed it carefully, and muttered thoughtfully: "In the past, there were also rumors in the rivers and lakes that there was a kind of powder that could shine at night and be used as a mark, would it be ......?" ”

When Xiangzi heard this, he slapped his thigh suddenly, and said excitedly: "Hurry up and eat, there may be a good show to watch tonight." ”

The moon seemed to really feel the affection of the sun, and was so shy and reserved that she refused to leave the palace. The stars of interest are also in a haze, and the quiet lake surface seems empty and misty.

The walkie-talkie on the shore suddenly made two rhythmic rustles, which were their pre-agreed code words - the target appeared.

So, Huzi and Zhang Liang and Xu Ming quietly sneaked to the vicinity of the "horse" to wait for the rabbit. As soon as he chose a position, Huzi suddenly remembered the mysterious strip of cloth. So, with memory, I slowly moved to the arms of the "horse". Sure enough, a little fluorescent faintly flickered in the wind, as if a swarm of fireflies were snatching the bride, and although the reeds swayed in the wind, they were dead and refused to leave.

Huzi smiled happily, and quietly hid in the nearby dark corner, only exposing his bright eyes to the water. As soon as he posed, he felt a black cloud slowly approaching him, and when he fixed his eyes, it turned out to be a lovelorn wild duck, looking lost and depressed, completely ignoring the danger that was close at hand. Huzi had the experience of the morning, and before the wild duck kissed him, he hid in the water.

Shoko said that she was going to the lake, and the two women immediately eagerly packed up. Xiangzi knew that he couldn't stop it, so he had to purse his lips and smile and let them do their work. Anarhan came up to Shuzhen, leaned his head on Shuzhen's shoulder and whispered, "I want to go too." ”

Xiangzi followed the prestige, but met Maimaiti's expectant and enthusiastic gaze. So, he smiled and said, "Let's go to the car, there are too many horses at night, and the noise is too loud, let's go together." ”

Seeing Shuzhen put a jacket on Anarhan's body, she reached for the dart bag again. Xiangzi grinned and said, "It's not going to war, what are you doing with it?" Besides, there are so many people, are you afraid that he won't be able to run away? ”

Shuzhen pursed her lips and smiled, "Habitually, I always want to take it when I go out at night." Seeing that Shuzhen put down the dart bag lovingly, Xiangzi glanced at her warmly and said softly, "Why don't you bring the gun?" Sookjin sneered and patted her back in a self-deprecating manner.

Huzi had just put his head out of the water, and before he could squeeze the water in his eyes, he heard a sound of water behind him, and saw a pair of wild ducks soaring into the air, and a small boat from the south was floating quietly like a leaf.
