Chapter Twenty-Four: Exactly the Same Ingot

After dinner, Qi Lu stayed alone in the room, holding the ingots in his hand and falling into deep thought-

Lao Wu sneaked in quietly and told him an unexpected news: "I saw those monsters wandering around the village. ”

Is it just hanging out? Qi Lu was suddenly shocked and asked, "What conspiracy do they want to play?" ”

"All the way around the walls of the village."

"Hehe, it turns out that they want to break the barrier." Qi Lu put his mind at ease, "Just let them toss, at least for now, they won't bother me if they have something to do." ”

"That's what I meant, so I ignored them." As he spoke, Lao Wu saw that Qi Lu's gaze was still on the gold ingot, and he couldn't help but ask teasingly: "Why, a gold ingot makes you lose your soul?" ”

"This ingots are a little strange." Qi Lu thoughtfully handed it to Lao Wu, "Have you found something strange?" ”

Lao Wu looked at the ingots over and over again for a long time, and didn't find anything wrong, just when he was about to shake his head, his eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "There is a three-word at the bottom of the ingot, which means that it has more than one ingot, at least more than three ingots, you mean that we will continue to make a fortune tomorrow?" ”

"I said how you think about getting rich all day long!" Qi Lu said with a solemn expression: "I saw this ingots a few days ago. ”

"Huh, have you seen it? I've seen it in my dreams. ”

Seeing that Lao Wu didn't seem to believe it, Qi Lu said calmly: "It's these three words that made me sure I saw it a few days ago." ”

Lao Wu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Where have you seen it?" ”

"Remember the man surnamed Ning, he also fished out a gold ingot that day, and now it's in your hand."

"I take his gold? Are you kidding, is this guy crazy, and after he caught it, he changed hands and threw it into the pool? ”

"Do you think he's nervous?" Qi Luxing's eyes flowed, with a little worry: "There is also a three-character on his ingot, and even the position of the inscription is exactly the same as ours." ”

"Maybe it's cast in a mold" Lao Wu couldn't say it anymore halfway through, the two words Fu Ji at the bottom of the ingots were indeed cast together with the gold ingots, but these three words were obviously added later, and the font was very crooked, indicating that the person who carved the word was a novice. Even if he could engrave the words in the same position on two different ingots, he would not be able to engrave the two characters exactly the same with his clumsy level.

Qi Lu emphasized again: "I saw his ingots that day, and I will never remember these details." ”

"Did he really throw the ingots into the pool again?" Lao Wu still can't believe that any normal person would do this, change it to himself, and can't wait to catch a few more ingots and take them home.

"What a strange thing!" Qi Lu sighed with emotion and fell into contemplation again.

"Otherwise, I'll go and ask him."

"It's a real way to solve the problem." Qi Lu nodded in agreement, "You can take this ingots and ask him, as long as he is willing to tell us the truth of the matter, you can return the ingots to him." ”

"Hey, you're so generous!" Lao Wu's voice suddenly raised an octave: "This is what we got our hands on, why give it to him!" Leave this alone, I promise to pull everything out of this guy's mouth. After saying that, he put the ingots into his arms and left in a hurry.

In less than half an hour, Qi Lu saw Lao Wu come back, and he couldn't help but be stunned, "You are really efficient, Mr. Ning told you everything?" ”

"Nope." Lao Wu closed the door tightly, and whispered a lot in Qi Lu's ear, and Qi Lu's brows furrowed after hearing it.

"You mean Mr. Ning settled the bill and left this morning?"

"Yes, I looked at the transcript at the counter and he signed it off."

"Did anyone see him leave the village?"

"Then I didn't ask."

Qi Lu said with a reproachful tone, "Why didn't you investigate?" ”

"You think I don't want to?" Lao Wu replied angrily: "Where are you going to ask!" It's not a team that goes to the waterhole to fish for treasure, or a villager who doesn't go out in the middle of the day, who cares if one person leaves? ”

Qi Lu was silent, what Lao Wu said was not wrong at all, even if a few people suddenly disappeared, no one would notice. He took a sip of tea from his cup, and the bitterness of the tea flowed down his throat into his stomach, which had a different taste.

Lao Wu said: "There are eccentricities in this village, there must be eccentricities!" ”

"Yes, there are quirks." Qi Lu sighed and said, "I originally wanted to rest here for two or three days and then go to Death Valley, but now it seems impossible." ”

"Hmph, when is it, you still can't tell the difference!" Lao Wu said with a tone of lesson: "Is it important to welcome the dawn of the gods, or is it important to solve the case?" The policeman surnamed Liu is right, you are thinking about how to solve the puzzle all day long, as if you have lost your soul! ”

Qi Lu was silent again, since he had met Hou Yi for thousands of years, he couldn't get rid of this problem.

Lao Wu said again: "It's better to go to Death Valley early, if it is really like what the old woman said, mankind will suffer a catastrophe, we have to think of a way to have the best of both worlds." ”

"If Manju is right, will you prevent the resurrection of the Protoss?"

"I" Lao Wu was dumbfounded, he sat down stupidly, took out the wine jug and drank the stuffy wine.

"I don't know what to do if this happens." Qi Lu's vision lost its original spirit, and it was as silent as a pool of stagnant water......

After a long time, he sighed and said, "It is because I don't know what to do that I procrastinate and fantasize about a miracle." ”

"But we're going to have to wait until that day comes, is it useful to escape from reality?"

"Yes, we can't avoid it." Qi Lu lowered his eyes slightly, "Master, I promise you, if you stay for another two or three days, and the secrets of this village are not known, we will set off for Death Valley." ”

"Okay." Lao Wu reluctantly agreed, he took out his mobile phone and looked at the time and complained, "It's only past six o'clock, it's too early to go to bed, and this ghost place doesn't allow people to go out at night, it's annoying!" ”

"Didn't you say you couldn't go out after eight o'clock? Let's go, it's still early, let's go out for a walk. ”

"Where to go?"

"Since everyone in this village comes out at night, let's go to Widow Zhu's house."

"Okay, just don't have a closed door."

The two walked on the potholed road, and saw that every house was lit up, and the villagers were still sitting at the door of the house like last night, but Qi Lu felt an inexplicable palpitation when he walked all the way, because the villagers looked at them with strange expressions, like looking at the dead people.

When he came to Widow Zhu's alley, Qi Lu saw an old man walking towards him, he was politely giving way, his eyes were stunned, and he couldn't help but say, "Why are you again?" ”

"Hehe, Mr. Qi...... You're looking for Widow Zhu, right? She wasn't at home. The old grandson was also stunned, and then replied.

"Uncle, are you also here to find Widow Zhu?"

"Ahh......h I'll go out and walk around. The old grandson replied vaguely, and then left in a hurry. Wolf hunting

"This old man has ghosts." Lao Wu looked at the back of the old grandson and Qi Lu bit his ears.

"Leave him alone, let's go see if Widow Zhu is at home."

Sure enough, as the old grandson said, Widow Zhu's house was pitch black, and Qi Lu knocked on the door for a long time and didn't see anyone come out to open the door.

"Forget it, let's come back tomorrow." Qi Lu was slightly disappointed, and just as he turned around and was about to leave, a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"There is a ......" Before Lao Wu's words were finished, Qi Lu had already struck the roof with a spirit rune in his hand!

Lao Wu said again: "It's better to go to Death Valley early, if it is really like what the old woman said, mankind will suffer a catastrophe, we have to think of a way to have the best of both worlds." ”

"If Manju is right, will you prevent the resurrection of the Protoss?"
