After two days of running, we were already exhausted, Lao Gui just left, I lay on the bed weakly, uncomfortable, especially the fart-thigh, it was as if it was not mine, so big, this was the first time I sat in the car for so long.

There are not many spare rooms in Lao Gui's house, only two, only Lin Qiao'er can live in one, and the doctor and I can squeeze one.

After resting for a while, our spirits improved, and I thought of the special information I got from Lao Gui's words when I was on the boat, because Lao Gui was on the side at that time, and it was inconvenient for me to ask, and then I remembered again, and I hurriedly patted the doctor on the bed who was crossing his knees and closing his eyes.

"Hey, doctor, wake up!" I know that he is not asleep, meditation is a habit that the doctor has developed for a long time, unlike us, when the doctor is usually tired, he will only meditate and close his eyes, when we first met, the whole dormitory was amazed by his habit, if it wasn't for the big night or sleeping normally like us, we even thought he was cultivating immortals.

The doctor opened his eyes and threw me an inquiring look, and I was not pretentious, and said to him: "Hey, I don't know if you have noticed that there is a particularly key detail in the legend about the merman that Lao Gui told us on the boat?" ”

"You mean, Wonderland?"

I was stunned, thinking that the doctor hadn't noticed this detail, but I didn't expect him to be aware of it.

"That's right, it's the fairyland where the merman lives in the legend, Lao Gui said at the time that the merman entered the Daxu River from the hinterland of the 100,000 mountains through the river, and we don't care whether the legend is true or not, if this statement is true, there must be a special place for the merman to live in the 100,000 mountains in the Daxu River Basin, and the merman lives in the water, so what kind of place this special place is, it is self-evident."

As soon as I finished speaking, Lin Qiao'er, who lived in the room next to us, pushed the door and walked in, and sat directly next to me, her pretty face was full of curiosity, and it was obvious that she had heard what I had just said.

The doctor said hello to Lin Qiao'er, and I said angrily: "Sister Qiao'er, why don't you come in and say hello, if it happens that we don't have any clothes on, wouldn't we all be seen by you?" ”

Lin Qiao'er grinned, pinched my ears, and quipped, "You two big men live in the same room, why do you want to strip naked?" Oh, I know, it must be you who have taken a fancy to the doctor, and you are a thief, hum, the sexual orientation of other doctors is very normal, so they can't look down on you! ”

, where is this, I rolled my eyes, and said in my heart How do I feel like Lin Qiao'er seems to have changed as a person, I have known her for so long, I have never seen her make such an explicit joke.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to tease you, let's talk about it, what did you mean by what you just said?"

I raised my eyes and looked at the doctor, and found that this guy had an indifferent face, and even had a smile, not taking Lin Qiaoer's words to heart at all, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while, how can this guy be so powerful, no matter what time he is, he can be so calm.

Seeing that I didn't squeak for a long time, the doctor smiled and explained: "What the reporter just said is a hypothesis, if there really is such a place, then this place must be an extremely wide body of water, because wherever there is a similar legend, whether it is a mermaid or a mermaid, it must be offshore, so the vast water area is a necessary condition for the survival of the merman." ”

"Oh, that's right!" Lin Qiao'er sighed, but her face was still puzzled, and she continued to ask: "But even if there is really a body of water, is there anything worth paying special attention to?" ”

"Absolutely!" The doctor's expression was gentle, and he continued very patiently: "The purpose of our coming here is to save people, and to save people, we must first find the Heavenly Witch Sect that captured Uncle Zhang. According to the hint in Zhang Lingjin's letter, the target of the Heavenly Witch Sect is in Toast, but we don't know exactly where it is in Toast, but there is a picture in the letter, according to the reporter's impression, it is the outline of a lake, and Zhang Lingjin will not send this thing without reason. In other words, the target place of the Heavenly Witch Sect that Zhang Lingjin wants to convey to us is likely to be the lake depicted on the map, and if we can find the lake in front of the Heavenly Witch Sect, we can prepare in advance and take advantage of the geographical advantage. ”

I really didn't expect that from a small legend, the doctor not only found the key information, but also thought of so much, I, the doctor deserves to be a doctor.

At this time, Lin Qiao'er finally understood, her little face was flushed, and she looked a little excited, but the doctor and I were not happy at all.

Before arriving at Toast, according to the assumption, we can be sure that there is a small lake in the 100,000 mountains around the Daxu River, and this lake is near Toasttai, but after arriving at Toasttai, we find that things are not like that at all.

There is indeed water near Toast Tai, but it is not the lake we are looking for, the water gourd, the radius is only about 200 meters, at most it is a water bubble, and the demon lake in my nightmare is very different, besides, this shape is not right!

According to Lao Gui, the water gourd is already the largest body of water in the vicinity, Lao Gui is a native of the local, the head snake, no one can compare to the familiarity with the local area, he said so, then there must be no other large lakes nearby.

But if that's the case, why did Zhang Lingjin pass that picture to me, could it be...... Did we misinterpret her? She didn't send us that picture so we could find that place?

It's messed up, it's a complete mess now!

Before we heard the legend of the merman, we deduced that the destination of this trip might be the lake depicted on the drawings, but now that we think about it, it is really unfounded.

The reason why we believe that the picture is a lake is entirely because of my nightmare, according to previous experience, the location of the demon lake should be in the depths of Yeling, although it belongs to the same 100,000 mountains, but Yeling and the place where we are now are completely two different directions, and the demon lake in Yeling is absolutely impossible to have anything to do with the legendary fairyland here.

In this way, are we really misinterpreting the meaning of Zhang Lingjin's letter?

Damn, what the hell is going on, this Zhang Lingjin is really, send a letter, send a letter, why is it so mysterious, the most terrible thing is that he doesn't make it clear, what can we do now?

What I thought of, the doctor naturally thought of it, at the moment the expressions of both of us were not very good-looking, but Lin Qiaoer was very optimistic, telling us not to think so much, since Zhang Lingjin asked us to go to Toast Tai in the letter, we just do what the letter says.

These words woke up the two of us, I patted my head and said to the doctor: "Sister Qiao'er is right, doctor, it seems that this time we are really wise and have a thousand thoughts, Zhang Lingjin only said that I should come here to stop the Heavenly Witch Sect, and did not clearly indicate what I must do, in this case, we just need to wait patiently, why do we think about so many haves and haves?" ”

The doctor nodded and added, "Well, it's true that we think too much, but we can't just wait, we don't know much about the itinerary of the Heavenly Witch Sect, if we are ahead of them, then we can wait patiently, but if they have already rushed to our toast and carried out further operations, we must adjust our strategy, find out their whereabouts, and keep up." ”

After some agreement, the stone in my heart fell to the ground, and it didn't take long for Lao Gui's meal to be done, and he warmly greeted us for dinner.

The small mountain villages in the 100,000 mountains lack everything, except for the mountain delicacies, and although it is difficult to hunt wild animals this season, it is not a problem for toast tai, which has a water hyacinth.

Lao Gui made eight large bowls according to the local rules, which were quite hearty, and I had never seen wild fish on three plates, as well as other sun-dried mountain mushrooms and fresh vegetables that Lao Gui picked from the neighbor's vegetable field.

Lao Gui's family is a girl, his woman was sick a few years ago, the father and daughter depended on each other, her girl looked almost seventeen or eighteen years old, a little younger than us, but she looked very good-looking, both the youth of a girl, and the spirit of a girl in the mountains.

During the banquet, Lao Gui introduced his girl to us, and we learned the name of the little girl, Xiuling, which matched her appearance very well.

Lao Gui works outside and can't go home a few times a year, but fortunately, Xiuling is already in college, and she doesn't need to be taken care of, so she works part-time near the school during the summer vacation, and she only goes home when Lao Gui returns to her hometown during the winter vacation.

As I spoke, I noticed that the little girl had been secretly looking at the doctor, and her eyes were full of strange looks, and I couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that another little sister had fallen.

When Lao Gui enthusiastically served us vegetables, the doctor and I asked about the recent situation in the village, and the news revealed by Lao Gui made the three of us breathe a sigh of relief.

Because of the approaching New Year's Pass, there are many people returning to their hometowns, and the number of tourists is also decreasing, and in the past week, there are no large-scale outsiders entering the village, and occasionally there are one or two people who come to fish, and most of them come on the same day, go on the same day, and do not stay.

This makes us completely relieved, a good mood, appetite will be opened, soon, a table of dishes by five people swept away, only the residue remains, we sighed that the fish is delicious at the same time, while satisfying and Lao Gui negotiated the cost of these days.

Because there is something to ask for, so we give almost three times the price of the local farmhouse, the tour guide fee is additional, the same is three times the regular price, Lao Gui is almost happy to close his mouth, a boss, not to mention how kind it is.

After eating, perhaps out of curiosity, perhaps irresistible to the charm of the doctor, she took the initiative to talk to us, of course, the object of her greeting was the doctor, and she left me aside.

Although I was envious, I was also an interesting person, so I didn't get involved, and secretly called Lao Gui aside and told him that he had something to ask him for help.

Lao Gui got a lot of income, and he was happy in his heart, so he was extremely polite to me at this time, rubbing his hands and showing a flattering look and saying, "Boss, you have something to order!" It's not me bragging, in this place of Toast, there is nothing we can't do except kill people and set fires, you just have to say. ”

I didn't talk nonsense with him, and said angrily: "I don't need you to kill people and set fires, you are familiar, I just need your help to keep an eye on the village, if there are any suspicious outsiders, you must notify me as soon as possible, and there will be additional bonuses at that time!" ”

Originally, when I told him to keep an eye on the situation in the village, Lao Gui was still a little suspicious, but when he heard that there was an additional reward, the suspicion on Lao Gui's face suddenly turned into a smile, and he slapped his chest with a snap, saying that let me rest assured that everything was wrapped in him, even if one more fly flew in, he would not miss it.

I was sweating profusely, I didn't bother to talk to him anymore, I looked at the doctor and Lin Qiao'er who were still chatting with Xiuling, sighed, and went back to the house.

The bumps of the day were so tiring, and when I got back to the house, I fell asleep very quickly, and I fell asleep, and I felt like I was in a state of confusion in my sleep, a feeling I had before, many times when I was hallucinating, and my consciousness was like this.

Even when I was in doubt, the feeling of floating in the sky suddenly became solidified, and the ethereal darkness around me seemed to condense into substance for a moment, becoming touchable, and in a moment of shock, I suddenly felt that my feet were empty, and then the whole person fell down.

The feeling of falling lasted for a long time, even when I wondered if I had fallen into a bottomless pit, poof, a sound of falling water sounded, and before I could react, the biting coldness had already enveloped my whole body.

The sudden change made me panic, and I subconsciously took a deep breath, intending to calm myself, and then this breath was not air, but the cold meaning, and at the same time, a hot stinging pain came from my lungs, and I realized that I had fallen into the water.

I woke up suddenly, but my subconscious was still driving my body, my hands and feet were kicking randomly, but a strange scene appeared, falling into the water was a dream, but after waking up, I really felt the biting ice water surrounding my body, and the bottom of my body was empty, and I was really suspended in the water.

I was completely stunned, and in a moment of distraction, my limbs stopped moving, and at the same time I felt as if something was pulling at my trouser legs under the water, and was desperately pulling me underwater.

The body sank rapidly, and I was taken aback when I reacted, even if I hadn't figured out the state at this time, I was still desperately struggling, trying to keep in shape, but this was in the water, helpless, and couldn't borrow strength at all.

The pull became stronger and stronger, and my heart was almost cold, but at this moment, my eyes swept to the water two or three meters away from me and there seemed to be something floating, I didn't think about it, the instinct for survival drove me to swim that way.
