The fox's tail

Following those obvious tire tracks, Gong Chen drove the car to a fork in the road.

To their left, a rugged mountain road, silent and narrow. There are many chaotic and disorganized traces on the road that stretch all the way to the end of the trail.

To their right was a broad road leading directly to another plain. There are also many traces on the ground of this road. It's just that compared to those on the mountain road, the traces here are clear and neat. At a glance, one can't help but think of the strict discipline of the troops.

Because there are two different traces on this fork in the road, Gong Chen, who has never liked to do multiple-choice questions, happened to fall into a state called 'confused' at this moment. He subconsciously stopped the car, then looked at Father Ann and asked, "What should we do about this?" ”

"Come, you get out of the car with me."

Father An called Yu Siqi, who was sitting behind him, and the master and apprentice got out of the car one after another.

Then he immediately said to Siqi, "Do you know why I called you down?" ”

"I don't know."

Yu Siqi shook his head.

"Then you know we have to make the 'right choice' next."

Father An didn't blame Yu Siqi, but smiled alone.

"I'm sure I know that."

Yu Siqi looked at Father An.

"Actually, I'm just going to take advantage of this ready-made opportunity to develop your reasoning skills. You can think of it as some kind of tutoring. ”

Father Ann blinked his bright eyes and said.

"Report, I'd like to receive additional coaching as well."

Gong Chen, who was sitting in the driver's seat, poked his head out, and the meaning of his words was obvious, undoubtedly he heard the conversation between the priest and Yu Siqi.

"Forget it, Gong Chen. A driver should be a driver. ”

Father An's words made Yu Siqi couldn't help laughing, and at the same time, Gong Chen, who was sitting in the car, was so angry that he honked his horn a few times to make his own protest.

Immediately afterwards, the priest led Yu Siqi to the side of the mountain road.

It is almost impossible to see how many cars have passed through the road, but there is no doubt that there are certainly not a few of them.

"Do you think they'll go into the mountains?"

Father An smiled and asked Yu Siqi.

"I'm not sure."

Although judging by the traces, this mountain road must have been walked by a convoy. But on the other road, there are also many traces, which is one of the main reasons why Yu Siqi can't make a decision right away.

"It's okay, I didn't expect you to give you the perfect answer right away. So, let's try it a different way? ”

Father Ann spread his hands and asked.

Yu Siqi nodded, and followed the priest to another road.

On this flat pavement, all the traces are straight and orderly, even recognizable. This made Yu Siqi slightly more affirmative of it, at least for now.

However, when Yu Siqi was asked the same question by the priest again, Yu Siqi suddenly remembered the situation when they came.

The traces left on the pavement are not very neat.

Thinking of this, Yu Siqi began to have some doubts about this 'too clean road surface'.

Unfortunately, suspicion alone was not enough to support his point, and he had to try to find the right evidence.

Out of this consideration, Yu Siqi chose to leave Father An for the time being, and went deeper, hoping to find some useful information.

In fact, his rash actions did not lead to nothing. Here, Yu Siqi saw the most practical evidence.

It turned out that those neat and clear traces only extended for a few hundred meters, and then disappeared. This obviously does not conform to the law of the opponent's actions, and does not satisfy one of the elements that tires will leave traces.

In this way, Yu Siqi, who found the 'evidence' to prove his opinion, quickly ran back to Father An's side, and proudly showed the priest the evidence and opinions he had found.

After listening to his explanation, Fr. Ann turned around and said, "It seems that you have finally realized what it means to 'think'. ”

When the two returned to the car slowly, Gong Chen looked at them expectantly and asked, "Did you get any results?" ”

"Let's go up the mountain."

Father An glanced at Gong Chen and said.

"Is there any basis for this?"

Gong Chen asked curiously.

"The basis is those traces"

Yu Siqi has a rare opportunity to come up with the answer on his own, so he must share it with Gong Chen, who still doesn't know.

After listening to Yu Siqi's 'high theory', Gong Chen seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and drove the car onto this slightly rugged mountain road. And said to Siqi in a serious tone, "Dude, I feel that it won't be long before you will be exactly like the priest." ”

"No kidding, how could I possibly become another priest!"

Yu Siqi said disapprerovingly.

"No, I don't mean people, I mean character. You know? The way of thinking of the two of you is 'synchronizing' at a very impressive rate! ”

When Gong Chen said this, he couldn't help but glance at Father An a few times, as if he was worried that the other party was dissatisfied.

"All I can say is that you're thinking a little too much."

Yu Siqi admits that he is indeed imitating the priest's way of thinking, but he does not want to agree with the fact that he and the priest are gradually synchronized.

"I hope so."

Miyachen turned the steering wheel a little to the left.

However, at this moment, not far behind them, there was the sound of an engine that was enough to attract everyone's attention.

'Chaser? ’

This was the first thought that popped into Yu Siqi's mind. But according to their previous observations, there should be no possibility for the other party to send a second team!

Besides, even if it is sent. It's almost impossible to catch up with them so quickly, right?

All things considered, there is only one possibility.

That is, the people who were desertified before came back to life again, and continued to drive after them.

It is only this possibility that is enough to give a clear overview of the sound of the engine so close.

"This is really going to chase after you!"

Gong Chen glanced at the rearview mirror and didn't find anything abnormal for the time being. But he knew very well in his heart that the voice would not be faked.

"It's worrying!" Father Ann also subconsciously looked in the rearview mirror and said, "So far, I haven't smelled a living person. I can say with all probability that most of the people chasing us are not living creatures. ”

"Is this the legendary 'death will not spare us'? What a sin! Father, what did you do to provoke the other party to be so 'desperate to chase after you'? ”

Although Gong Chen's tone was full of ridicule, his expression was unexpectedly solemn.

"Maybe I stepped on the 'fox's tail.'"

Father Ann tilted his head, looked thoughtfully ahead, and said.
