We searched around the camp and found nothing, and Brother Zeng analyzed that it was not necessarily left by some suspicious person, but also by fishermen who had come to the island to take shelter from the wind and rain.

I disagree, not just because of the scratches, but more because of the camp, and the fishermen may come here in small boats that can be dragged ashore, but they never bring camping equipment, and judging by the situation on the spot, this group has been stationed here for a long time.

I pointed to a few holes in the ground and said, "It shouldn't be fishermen, you see these holes, they are left by dowels." ”

As I spoke, I picked up a stick and connected a few holes with wires, "Look, does this look like a camping tent?" And here, here, there are three of them, how could a fisherman carry these things? ”

Brother Zeng followed behind me, looked at the marks I had scratched, nodded and said, "Yes, ordinary fishermen don't bring these things, and no one will come to camp in this place where birds don't poop so idle." ”

"If it's not a fisherman, could it be a traveling friend?" Qiu Yan asked thoughtfully.

Qiu Yan's words are very reasonable, now that people's lives are better, there are more and more people who are idle, and these people are tired of staying in the place where they live, so they always like to go outside to find some excitement.

However, having said that, I was suspicious, as the saying goes, no coincidence makes no book, if it is usual, I may also think that it is a travel friend, but first we looked for Chen Youliang to find here, and then Long Quan found me and said that the tortoise shell stolen in Nanchang came from here, plus a series of strange things in Baozhuji, several things came together, I think this is not a coincidence.

"Don't worry, let's look slowly, see if we can find anything else, we really can't find it, let's go to the big island to have a look."

I saw that a few people had no opinions, so I divided them into two groups and searched for them separately, I was naturally in a group with Qiu Yan, and Huang Yueling took Brother Zeng to the other side with her hands behind her back.

Originally, I wanted to look for it in the depths of the forest, but there were too many weeds here, and there were some vines and thorns mixed in it, and there were no traces of people walking in it.

At this time, the sky is sunny, and although it is still a little hot on the body, it becomes pleasant after the river breeze blows.

The sand on the river beach is far from being as golden and hot as on the beach, but the beach where only Qiu Yan and I are also unique to the tranquility and comfort, we are attracted by the scenery on the river bank when we look for it, and slowly, we begin to scatter.

I walked behind Qiu Yan, looking at her hair raised by the river breeze, and kept hesitating whether I should tell her about Long Quan's visit.

Long Quan said that he didn't want Qiu Yan to know his whereabouts, and I promised him, but I really can't think of a reason for him to hide it from Qiu Yan, and it is a matter of Qiu Yan's life and death, so I think it's better to tell her.

"Qiu Yan," I stopped behind Qiu Yan and called softly.

"Huh?" Qiu Yan looked back, her head of black hair was blown to the side by the wind, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised like flower petals, as if she could smell the fragrance emanating from her body from afar, and for a while, I couldn't help but be stunned.

"Well, the night before yesterday, I saw the dragon!" I came back to my senses and said.

After hearing this, Qiu Yan immediately approached me quickly, "What? Long Quan? Why didn't I see it? ”

"He didn't want to bother you, just chatted with me for a few words and left!"

"Don't want to bother me? What do I have to disturb, a meeting for a meal and a conversation is also called interruption? Qiu Yan seemed to be disgruntled, and the former employee of hers left without even saying hello to her.

"Hey, he has his reasons, I promised him not to tell you about it, but ~~~"

"But what? What are you talking about about me? ”

"Sort of, part of the reason why we're here today is because Long Quan talked to me."

Qiu Yan was surprised, he took a few steps closer, stared at me and asked, "Is it?" What did he tell you? ”

I motioned for Qiu Yan to continue walking along the riverbank, and then told her the content of my conversation with Long Quan, but in the end, I didn't say what happened after Long Quan cut my finger.

After listening, Qiu Yan excitedly took my hand and asked, "Long Quan really said that?" The people who took away the spearhead of the tiger bone were really Chen Fangyuan and them? ”

I nodded helplessly, "Although Long Quan is not very sure that it is the tiger bone spearhead, he seems to be very sure that it was Chen Fangyuan's person who stole the tortoise shell and took the spearhead from the lake." ”

"Great, now I've finally found my way!" Qiu Yan's eyes lit up, it seemed that she had completely regarded the thing under the lake as a tiger bone spearhead.

"Qiu Yan, don't be in a hurry to be happy, the spearhead and Chen Fangyuan's affairs are all being investigated, he promised me, as long as there is news, he will contact me immediately, and we have to continue to investigate Chen Youliang's matter, only by figuring out what happened underwater before and after, can we know what Chen Fangyuan wants to do when he takes the spearhead."

"Of course I know, it's just that our family has been looking for this thing for decades, and now it's finally a little slight, don't you want people to be happy?"

Qiu Yan's words made me a little stunned, after getting along with her for so long, it was the first time I heard her speak to me in a coquettish tone, although it was only two short sentences, but in my opinion, it meant that our relationship had gone further.

I was alone in unrequited love, Qiu Yan suddenly thought of something, changed back to her previous serious expression, and asked me, "Do you suspect that the people who camped here are also Chen Fangyuan's people?" ”

"Yes, now it seems that there are only us and Chen Fangyuan who revolve around the two things of tortoise shell and spearhead, although Long Quan is also behind him, but his purpose is Chen Fangyuan and them, so I guess Chen Fangyuan's people have also been here after coming out of Baozhuji."

"But isn't the tortoise shell in Nanchang? And you also said that Chen Fangyuan's people stole it, and the spearhead was at the bottom of the lake, and Chen Fangyuan's people took it, so why are they still here? ”

"I don't know about this, but I analyze two possibilities, one is that Chen Fangyuan only knew that there was a spearhead at the bottom of the lake and a tortoise shell in Nanchang after they came here, and it may be that they accidentally found these two things before they found the tortoise shell and spearhead; Another possibility is that they got some clues here, which led them to the tortoise shell and spearhead. But whatever the possibility, since they came here, it proves that there must be something here. ”

Qiu Yan did not make any comment on what I had said, and it seemed that she should agree with me, she turned around and continued walking on the river beach, and I followed her in silence, lost in thought.

Suddenly, Qiu Yan turned her head and asked, "Zimu, who do you say Chen Fangyuan and them are?" Why are they chasing after us? ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know who they are, but it may not be that he is chasing us now, but that they are walking ahead of us every step of the way, but fortunately their target does not seem to be a tiger bone spearhead, but a tortoise shell, and they should have taken the spearhead only to release the things at the bottom of the lake, and we just happened to walk with them on the same path." ”

When I said this, I actually didn't have any confidence in my heart, that's right, we did walk with Chen Fangyuan's people by mistake, and it seems that Chen Fangyuan's purpose is indeed just a tortoiseshell, but according to the energy of Chen Fangyuan's group, we can't easily take back the spearhead from them, so although I said it lightly, it was actually just to comfort Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan and I continued to walk for a while, and suddenly my phone rang, I took it and saw that it was Huang Yueling, she asked me if I had found anything, and said that I would like to go back and eat something first.

I took my phone and looked at the time, only to find that it was already past two o'clock, so I hung up the phone and called Qiu Yan back to the boat for lunch.

When we returned to the boat, I learned that Huang Yueling and the others had only walked along the riverbank, and in the center of the island, none of us had ever set foot foot on it, and after lunch and discussion, we decided that we would have to go to the depths of the forest in the afternoon anyway.

After resting for a while on Brother Zeng's boat, we took our daggers and harpoons and fish knives from Brother Zeng's boat, and set off towards the center of the island.

The island was full of rocks, bushes and thorny grass, and it was difficult to find a place to stay, so Brother Zeng and I walked in front and chopped and chopped, but despite this, we struggled, and it took us several minutes to take almost every step forward.

After a while, my clothes were soaked with sweat, and my clothes were covered with all kinds of thorns, several of which were even scratched, and I wiped the sweat from my forehead and shouted to rest, but when I looked at my watch, I realized that it was less than an hour before we set off.

In desperation, I had no choice but to keep slashing, thinking that no matter what, I had to get to the bottom of the island before it got dark, and if I couldn't find a clue, then we could rush to the big island immediately.

However, my wishful thinking did not work, and after about a few hundred meters, we were blocked by several boulders.

The boulders were like huge axes, cutting off the bulge in the center of the island, and the surface of the boulders was so smooth that there was no place to stay, and if you wanted to get there, you had to go around the boulders and cut them back in from both sides.

At this time, it was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun had already set, and it would not be long before the sky would be dark, I discussed with Qiu Yan, and decided that this would be the case today, first rest on Brother Zeng's boat for one night, and then cut in from the other side tomorrow, if we can't find a clue at that time, we can rush to the big island at ten o'clock tomorrow at noon.

After making a decision, I saw that Brother Zeng and Huang Yueling had no objections, so I waved my hand and beckoned everyone to return.

At this time, the river bank was reflected by a sunset in the distance, and the river behind the fishing boat was golden and beautiful.

Although we were tired and paralyzed all over the afternoon, it did not affect our mood at this time, at this time, the four of us, with the sky as the top and the moon as the lamp, sat on the river beach and ate dinner, but it also had a romantic color.

After dinner, we each took a bath in the river, and then went back to the cabin to rest, I couldn't sleep for a while, so I built a bonfire on the shore, at first, Qiu Yan and a few people came out to sit for a while, and then in the middle of the night, they returned to the cabin.

I sat alone under the moon, thinking back on the experience of this journey, I couldn't help but sigh, when I first set off, who would have thought that I would come step by step to the present, those gods and ghosts, those charms, originally to me was just a day and night, but now, I also fell into it step by step.

When I think back to the stories my grandfather told me when I was a child, it sounded scary at the time, and when I grew up, it was just a joke, but now that I think about it, it was like my grandfather's diary, and it was really scary.

I was sitting by the fire and was thinking about it, when I suddenly noticed something like a mist floating in front of my eyes, and when I looked back, I saw a misty figure floating towards the center of the island, and what was even more strange was that the figure paused in the middle of the way, he turned his head and seemed to look at me, and then disappeared into the woods.
