Yunzi stroked his palms and said happily: "Can you still think of this stubble?" It's really my good brother, it's so good, I especially like to go on adventures. It's not a fun way to go around, but it's a great trip and I'm sure you'll be impressed. ”

Lu Jinping smiled and said, "This expedition is actually very dangerous, and it may even be life-threatening. Because, according to the old man Zhang Yousheng, there are hundreds of wild wolves on the island, as well as black bears, wild boars and other fierce beasts. His eldest brother had already been found dead in the clutches of a wild beast, the fate of the other two was uncertain, and there were the bones of other strangers on the island, so it was unknown what kind of danger would be encountered on this trip, and the two of us had to be prepared. ”

Yunzi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here to fight thousands of troops in battle, and it's okay to deal with some beasts." But you're right, you must be fully prepared, I'll go back and prepare, do you want to bring other samurai? ”

"No! It's very confidential, it's just the two of us, and you can't tell anyone, including your brother. ”

Yunzi nodded and said, "Understood, don't worry." ”

When Ye Qingqing learned that Lu Jinping was going to go on a long trip, he said that he would follow him. However, this matter is really high, and there is no way to bring anyone else. Lu Jinping had no choice but to lie to her and say that she was going to accompany Yunzi to do Yunzi's affairs, and it was inconvenient to bring other people. Hearing Lu Jinping say this, Ye Qingqing stopped talking, pouting and sulking. Until Lu Jinping hugged her and gently patted her on the shoulder, saying that he would come back as soon as possible. Ye Qingqing smiled at this time.

Everything was ready to stop, it was already past noon. After a hurried lunch, the group rode east on horseback.

Lu Jinping's forensic investigation box was usually to be carried, wrapped in a piece of green cloth, and carried by Yunzi on his back.

It was a long way from Tongzhou to the seaside, although they traveled to the beach non-stop, and when they arrived at the beach, it was close to the Spring Festival.

Because the festival is coming soon, and it is a cold winter wax moon. So no fishermen want to go out to sea. Wang Shiduo and they paid double the price, so they hired a fishing boat to take them to the island.

When Zhang Yousheng escaped from the island, he already knew the general location of the island, so they didn't have to look everywhere, and the distance to the island was only two days in a straight line. landed on Shanghai Island.

When I saw the island from afar, it was just a small black dot. However, as the fishing boats got closer and closer, Lu Jinping discovered that the island was actually very large and wide. By the time I landed on the beach, the coastline had stretched to the horizon. It's like you're on the mainland. The island is full of towering rocky peaks, mostly made of rock. The pinnacle is full of caves and looks like it is full of holes.

Lu Jinping originally imagined that even if there were more caves on the mountain, he should be able to find a place to bury the treasure if he looked for them one by one, but now his confidence has been shaken, there are too many caves, and he has to find them one by one, and there is no way to find them in a few months.

Lu Jinping said to Zhang Yousheng: "You came here 20 years ago, did you write down the route you walked at that time? ”

Zhang Yousheng couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head and said, "To be honest, even though the four of us are sworn brothers. Life and death are shared on the battlefield, but in front of this baby, the four of us are still very vigilant, for fear that others will swallow the money alone, and even more afraid that others will kill themselves in order to swallow the money. Therefore, the part that they are responsible for is trying to make it impossible for others to guess. For example, when the eldest brother brought us here, he did not come to the island in a straight line, but went around for three days and three nights, and he was completely dizzy, and finally arrived at the island. If not from here to escape to the coast. I don't know where the island is. ”

"And how did you find the location of the continent?"

"Because we have been fishing at the beach for twenty years and are familiar with the wind and waves at sea, the sea breeze basically blows in the direction of the coast during this season, so. I hoisted the sails and drifted with the fishing boat to the shore. And I remembered the location of the island. ”

Lu Jinping nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite smart and think of this way to return to the mainland." ”

"No way, after living by the sea for 20 years, we are no different from fishermen, and we know everything at sea."

"Are the peaks and caves you choose to be like this later?"

"Yes. After blindfolding, the second child pulled me and the third child around in circles, around the island, and after making people dizzy, they couldn't remember the road at all, and then the second child chose a mountain. The third child was like this, taking me all over the mountain, my eyes were blindfolded, I only knew up and down, and I was dizzy, and the third child was sure of one of the caves, and only after taking me into the cave did he untie the cloth covering my eyes. So I don't know where this cave is located on which mountain. ”

"Then you should know if it's up there, in the mountains, or down the mountain, right?"

"I really don't know, because when it comes to the last pass, I am very cautious, and I have discussed it, blindfolded, and after three days of walking around the mountain, you can't tell where you are at all. If I knew, maybe I was really a little greedy and dug it out and swallowed it alone, but unfortunately I didn't have the ability, the most important thing is that I didn't have this unkind and unjust heart. ”

Wang Shiduo sneered and said, "Who knows? ”

Zhang Yousheng sighed and said, "You don't believe me no matter what I say, the lord will find out that I was wronged."

Lu Jinping said: "Since we don't know which mountain the treasure is buried in, we can only use the elimination method to search one by one, and at the same time, in the process of searching, we hope to find the whereabouts of Zhang Yousheng's other three brothers, and whether his second sister-in-law has been here." Also, as you said earlier, when you were hiding from the wolves, you crossed a small river that was rushing to the sea. Let's go along the seashore to find the river, then we go up the river, exploring caves along the way, and we can use the river to hide from the wolves or other beasts you mentioned. ――I wonder if you're good at water? ”

Zhang Yousheng said: "I am familiar with water, I have been at the beach for 20 years, I can catch fish and shrimp in the sea, no problem." ”

The other three shook their heads together, including Yunzi and said, "Although we also have rivers and lakes in Tibet, they are basically formed by melting snow on icebergs, which is very cold and not suitable for swimming, so I am not familiar with water. ”

Lu Jinping said: "My water is okay, although it is not as good as catching fish and shrimp at the bottom of the sea as Zhang Yousheng just said, but it is not bad." The three of you are not familiar with water, so you need to wear a life jacket that will help you float on the water. I found that there was a lot of dead wood on the island, which was extremely dry and light, and that the dried wood floated easily, so it should be a good life jacket. ”

Lu Jinping had already thought about this problem before he came, so he had already made preparations in advance, bringing a saw and planer, as well as a number of tough fabrics, needles and threads. At that moment, Zhang Yousheng and others went to the shore to find a number of dry wooden blocks, which were sewn by Yunzi himself, and quickly sewed a few life jackets and put them on, and soaked them in the sea water to try, it felt very good, and they could indeed float on the water, these people were very surprised by Lu Jinping's idea.

Yunzi carries a forensic investigation box on her back, and only the front chest can hold wooden blocks, so the wooden blocks on her chest are much larger than others. She patted the wooden mound on her chest and said, "This thing is good, not only can it float on water, but it can also resist the claws of wild beasts, which is equivalent to armor." ”

Lu Jinping said: "Since we are ready to stop, let's go." ”

At the moment, they each brought a blade, and Jiang Xiaozhou was good at archery, so he brought a longbow. Yunzi brought a long sword, Lu Jinping also brought a single knife, and also inserted a dagger in the boot, which Yunzi prepared for him to defend himself before he came.

Ready to stop, a few people officially looked for the river Zhang Yousheng said along the coast.

Now in the cold winter, the wind is cold, and it is even colder on the coast, and people are shivering from the cold, but several of them have martial arts, among which Yunzi is the highest, and Lu Jinping does not know martial arts, so he wears very thick, and he also wears a life jacket made of dry wood, two big pieces of wood one after the other, the whole person looks like a big stupid bear, and it is more difficult to walk. Yunzi held his arm and walked with him, so that it was a little easier.

It is relatively easy to walk along the shore and walk on the soft sand, there are no thorns or the like, and there are no steep peaks to climb. After walking for more than an hour, they found a rushing river.

Wang Shiduo asked Zhang Yousheng: "Is this the river you said at the beginning to hide from the wolves?" ”

Zhang Yousheng shook his head and said: "I jumped into the river to hide from those wolves, but then I left the river in order to find your father, and I didn't return to the river later, so I don't know if it's the river I said." ”

Lu Jinping said: "I hope not, in that case, at least we will have two rivers to search." The more rivers there are, the more helpful it is for us to avoid the beasts. Let's pay attention to mutual protection now, when encountering fierce beasts such as bears, jackals, wild boars, etc., we must jump into the river in advance, and then swim to the other side of the river, don't fight, we are not here to hunt, remember. ”

Several people nodded, and walked vigilantly up the fast-flowing river with their blades in hand.

After an hour of walking, they had gone deep into the depths of the island, and when they turned back, they could no longer see the shore, and all around them were quiet, only the rustle of the wind through the trees.

Several people along the way were very vigilant, especially Wang Shiduo, who was walking in the front, he was carrying a ghost head knife on his back, which was very heavy, and he felt a little tired after carrying it for a long time, so he carried it on his shoulder. After walking for an hour, not to mention wild boars and beasts, even rabbits were not seen, I couldn't help but be deflated and angry, turned around and pointed at Zhang Yousheng and said, "Didn't you say that there are fierce beasts on the island?" Didn't you say that my father and I were eaten by beasts? Where is the beast? If you look for it, it is clear that you killed him, and you still say that he was injured by a wild beast.
