"Who the hell wouldn't want us to know?" The fat man fell into deep thought, "That Panma said that the people of the archaeological team were resurrected, I definitely don't believe it, I think there is another possibility, that is, the archaeological team may have been transferred." ”

"Dropped?" Wu Xie was a little surprised when he heard this, "Could it be that those people are disguised?" ”

"Yes, maybe that archaeological team has been targeted for a long time, but they just helped others get rid of that archaeological team, and then let people pretend to be." The fat man rarely analyzed seriously.

"What would be the purpose? For the sake of those pieces of iron, there are other conspiracies. A-Ning frowned, with a very puzzled expression on his face.

"Did you find anything on that piece of iron?" Mengli asked.

A-Ning shook his head and said, "Since that thing is so important, and at the same time it hides unknown dangers, it can't be easily used with sulfuric acid. ”

"It's in vain, let's go directly to the lake and see if there will be any clues down there." The fat man said.

Then they discussed a few specific matters. Because this time it was a tourist, except for Mengli who greeted the little brother in advance and brought the other side and the black gold ancient knife in camouflage, he didn't bring any other equipment, so it was a bit tricky, in case he encountered something that needed to be done such as opening a coffin and digging a grave, so he could only stare dryly.

The place is remote, and it is impossible to buy ready-made equipment in this kind of place, the fat man said: "Some things are not necessary, we can buy some substitutes, although it will not be so good to use, but this time it is relatively close to the village, and the requirements for quality are not too high." ”

He was talking about survival supplies in the wild, and the hunters had their own set, and they definitely didn't need to carry solid fuel and smokeless stoves on their backs, but after seeing the fierceness of the beasts, Wu Xie felt that the weapons still had to be prepared.

Called Ah Gui to discuss these things with him, Ah Gui himself also hunted, there were three shotguns, all of which were old guns that had been modified and did not know the name, and one of them could not be used yet.

Agui's own hunting is already an amateur activity, so there is not much ammunition at home, the fat man checked the two guns, and said: "Agui's one is absolutely fine, the other one has been useless for too long, but the gun is well maintained, and you have to shoot it to know if it can be used." ”

They bought fifty rounds of ammunition from several neighbors next door to Ah Gui, but there were only two guns and gave them to Wu Xie and the fat man, but Ah Ning did not have the weapons to take advantage of.

So, under the incredulous gaze of Wu Xie, A Ning and the fat man, Mengli took out an umbrella and pulled out a knife from it.

The fat man was extremely suspicious of life: "I'll go!" Is that okay?! ”

Mengli raised her eyebrows and said, "This is an umbrella knife." With that, she inserted the knife back into her umbrella and handed it to Aning.

A-Ning was speechless for a while, and finally pursed his lips and said abruptly: "...... Thank you. ”

The machete of the mountain is available in Agui's house, Agui specially went to sharpen the sharpness, and Wu Xie wrote a note for other things, asking him to go to the township to see if there is a substitute, use the hemp rope in the well if there is no rope for climbing the mountain, take a few flashlights and tie them up if there is no high-power flashlight, and use a sickle if there is no dagger.

Agui also suggested that they bring mosquito coils and mosquito nets, because now there is a lot of rain, and there are many mosquitoes and poisonous ants in the mountains, especially on the edge of the lake, mosquitoes are as big as wasps, otherwise they will definitely not be able to bear it in the city.

Wu Xixin said: There is a little brother and Mengli here, there is no need to worry about this.

After the arrangements were made, Ah Gui said that those things would take a day or two to prepare, and the hunters had not come back anyway, so he was ready to set off again.

During this period, the fat man said that he could find a way to use the sulfuric acid he brought back to see what was contained in the iron, which required delicate operations and a better site.

Wu Xie remembered Panma's narrative and felt that it was inappropriate, there was a smell from this piece of iron, and this smell gradually faded over time, indicating that there was a volatile substance in it, and the ghost knew if this substance would be harmful to the human body. He felt that the time had not yet come to dissolve this thing, and when he got there, he found some clues and then judged whether it was more reliable to take this risk.

The fat man's curiosity burned him so much that he couldn't stand it, but what Wu Xie said was absolutely reasonable, and the other three also agreed with him, thinking that it might affect other people, he had no choice but to give up.

The next time the fat man was full of interest, first, his ancient tomb said that he was convinced, and second, he had not hunted for a long time, and his hands itched terribly, and all night he kept nagging about his previous hunting, despite the fact that his face was swollen as if he had been kicked by a horse.

Wu Xie couldn't sleep, but his mind was thinking about the things by the lake, the little brother didn't speak, and Wu Xie saw that he had been looking at the window of the building next to Agui.

He remembered that he had seen a shadow in that building the night before, but now it was dark in that window, and he didn't see anything, and Gui's son didn't seem to be very willing to see people, so he lived in seclusion. He wondered if there was something wrong with it, so he had to stay home. This is often the case in the countryside.

And Mengli and A-Ning had already gone back to the house to sleep, and the two agreed that it was better to sleep than to think about what they didn't have, and they had nothing to think about, and it was imperative to nourish their spirits.

I didn't sleep for a night, coupled with a day of intense mental activity, soon Wu Xie couldn't hear what the fat man was saying, and the little brother leaned there and dozed off. It was much cooler outside here than inside the house, and there was not a single insect around, so they just lay down and fell asleep, and when they woke up, it was noon the next day.

Mengli and A-Ning had already gotten up, and most of the things that should have been prepared were also prepared, Wu Xie and the fat man couldn't help but sigh, and the little brother was still not angry.

On the third day, when they were well prepared, Agui took them out.

What made Wu Xie depressed was that he didn't see the legendary guide, and it was Ah Gui himself and Yun Cai who set off together.

Agui explained that the hunter had entered the mountains, and he didn't know if he had encountered any obstacles, and several teams had not returned, and no one else had been there. Yun Cai had been there a few times before with his grandfather, recognizing the way, and the dog, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Ah Gui said that it was just for the cost of the road, but Ah Gui had also hunted before, and it was quite reliable, so they could only agree.

As soon as the fat man heard that Yun Cai was going to follow, he said, "What are you doing with the little girl?" If you accidentally hurt somewhere, you don't feel sorry for being a father, I'm still distressed. ”

The fat man likes to play tricks to amuse the clouds in the past few days, but I don't know if he wants to eat tofu or if he is serious.

Mengli thought, Yuncai's identity is not simple, if she is saved, if the fat man really catches her in the future, then the fat man will be self-inflicted.

"Don't you look down on people? Our daughters here are no worse than your men. Yun Cai walked out of the inner room, wearing a Yao hunting suit, a hunting knife across his waist, and a small short shotgun on his back. The sons and daughters born in the mountains, the men are iron-blooded tough men, and the women are not allowed to shave their eyebrows.

The Yao girl was in good shape, and as soon as she wore this dress, the calves and the lines on her body stretched out, which was really good-looking. Coupled with a playful expression in his heroic posture and the irresistible taste of being seventeen or eighteen years old, he conquered the fat man at once.

She walked up to the fat man, stared at them as if challenged, and said, "A few bosses, don't you look down on people?" ”

"No, no! Not at all! The fat man immediately said, "Big sister, don't get me wrong, your fat brother and I are mainly afraid of your hard work, in fact, in our hearts, you are definitely the best candidate." ”

Wu Xie immediately frowned, kicked the fat man, and scolded in a low voice: "Why did you change your hexagram so quickly, what's the matter, at your age, you still want the old cow to eat tender grass?" ”

"What's wrong with my age, fat man, I call it a person to the prime of life, a strong cow, not an old cow." He said in a low voice, "You let Panzi find a mother-in-law, why can't you tolerate me?" ”

"I-" Wu Xie didn't know how to refute him, anyway, he just felt that something was wrong in his heart.

Mengli couldn't help but chuckle, she felt that Wu Xie should be sour, lemon sour. After all, he hadn't even held the little girl's hand, let alone fell in love.

The only thing that made Mengli care was that when they were packing things, the fat man always teased Yuncai and made Yuncai laugh. But she could see that Yun Cai secretly looked at the little brother from time to time, and looked very carefully, always turning her eyes back immediately after a glance, but in those clear eyes, she could see something.

She'd done this before, and it was a sign of caring about that person. If it weren't for the fact that it was not easy to know the identity of the cloud, she would probably think: Could it be that the little girl now just likes such a mysterious boy, the more unpredictable it is, the more challenging it is.

As if sensing something, Yun Cai raised his head and met Mengli's gaze, Yun Cai was stunned, and then smiled at her.

They set off according to the original route they had taken to find Panma Daddy at that time, and Wu Xie already had a little understanding of this route, and the road was much easier than when they searched for Panma Daddy at night.

The fat man was simply fascinated, and he circled around the clouds, and almost lay down to ride her as a horse, and the clouds were indeed cute and bouncing.

She looked at the fat man and asked, "What the hell are you doing?" I know, you're definitely not tour guides, how can any guide come to such a place? ”

Mengli knew that she was testing them in an attempt to get useful information.

But the fat man was not stupid, he knew that some things could be said and some things could not be said, so he pretended to be mysterious and said: "We are big people with secret missions, if you are willing to kiss me, I will tell you secretly." ”

Wu Xie is really afraid that Yun Cai will kiss him, it would be too wasteful, but fortunately, Yun Cai still has aesthetic ability, and he is resolutely not fooled.

And A-Ning found that after the fat man said that, Yun Cai secretly rolled her eyes, and others might think she was cute and coquettish. But as a mercenary for many years, A-Ning's observation was meticulous, she saw the disdain in Yuncai's eyes, and was inexplicably vigilant, maybe this girl was not as simple as they thought.

The atmosphere looks relaxed, but the little brother's face has not changed at all, and in the relaxed atmosphere, only he is still sinking in the clouds.

Mengli knew what he was worried about, but she didn't want him to know too much and carry too much.

"Oh, here you go. Be happy and don't overthink it. She put a piece of toffee in the palm of her brother's hand, her eyes burning.

The little brother looked at her stunned, bowed slightly, his hand gradually tightened, and he held the piece of toffee, like holding the last warmth.

That evening when they arrived at the ancient burial mound in the mountain pass, they went deep for a kilometer or two to rest for a while, and continued after dawn, and walked in the mountains for two days before they came to the lake.
