Chapter 15: Monkey Paw

In order to find someone at this time, Dou Dabao sent Lin Tong to worship as a god and kowtow to her.

But Lin Tong said bluntly, since she crossed the broken bridge, she seems to be blocked by an invisible barrier, and her ability to feel the consciousness of others has greatly decreased.

When she arrived here, she seemed to have completely lost her ability, and even when me, Dou Dabao, and Ji Yayun were close at hand, she couldn't easily and clearly sense our consciousness.

It took half a day to cross the bridge alone, and by this time it was getting dark.

Dou Dabao was full of expectations, and secretly said to me: "Is this Lin Tong the other Lin Tong, when it gets dark, she will become a bad woman, maybe she will recover her senses and find someone." ”

I didn't take it for granted as much as he did, so I looked at the sky, looked at the desolation around me, and after a moment's thought, beckoned them to go on.

Ji Yayun gritted her teeth and held on, but Lin Tong couldn't help but say:

"I really can't walk, and as soon as it gets dark, I'll ...... Why don't we find a sturdy house and stay up all night until dawn tomorrow? ”

I said no, rest is a must, but now is not the time, and the place is not right.

Lin Tong has become accustomed to being 'delicate' in recent years, and asked rhetorically:

"This is a deserted village, and there is not much hope of finding people for a while, where can I rest?"

I said earnestly: "Sister, I'm also tired, but I also know that this village is a bit evil. Regardless of the rest, the purpose of our visit is to find someone, if we can get closer, we can take one more step, and we will never be wrong. ”

"What? Got a clue? "Dou Dabao feels a little nervous.

I punched him, "No clues, but there's a goal." ”

"What do you mean? Don't be blind at this time, just say what you have to say. ”

"If only the blind man were here, it would be fine!" I sincerely say that the blind man is the best at observing the terrain of feng shui, and if he is here, even if this place is evil, we will not be as blind as we are now.

I said, "There are really no clues, but we are here to find people, and the ultimate goal is people." Leave aside the rest, and start from the person himself. Sang Lan was originally a pampered daughter, what kind of person is Jia Panpan, do you still need to say it?

Because Sang Lan is a Xiangtong, she may have abilities that ordinary people don't have, but her own personality and survival skills will not change much. The big back followed her, except for taking care of each other, he was not even a dog-headed military advisor.

If these two people are really lost, they can only find a place to get up and cry at the nose. But if a man appears at this time, even if it is a fat man who is not four or six, they will unconsciously regard each other as a reliance and act with the other party as the center. ”

"So our goal now is to follow the fat man's thinking to find the fat man!" Lin Tong interjected.

I nodded, "Although the fat man is not reliable, he was the first person in the evil sect, and his brain must not be stupid." If he can't find what he is looking for, and he gets lost with Sang Lan and Pan Ying, no matter what his original intention is, he can only think of finding the right way first and getting out of the current predicament. ”

I said to Dou Dabao: "I haven't walked through the labyrinth, and I've heard of it, right?" In reality, in order to get out of the labyrinth, there must be obvious references. ”

Dou Dabao looked left and right, "These broken houses and rotten walls are not the same, which one can't be used as a reference?" ”

Lin Tong said: "In our opinion, it is indeed not the same, but if you go back and forth a few times, you can still tell which one is which?" The reference of Xu Wei's statement should be the kind that is absolutely immutable under any circumstances. ”

Without waiting for Dou Dabao to speak, Ji Yayun said, "I know, it's the river!" ”

As he spoke, he had reached the end of the village, and he could already see the magnificent river in front of him.

When he arrived at the river, he saw the half-tilted stone tablet on the riverside, Dou Dabao nodded again and again, "Seven rivers...... This is really the mouth of the Seven Rivers. ”

I didn't bother with it, but took advantage of the gloomy sky to look at the ground along the riverside.

The hard work paid off, and at a location about ten meters away from the stone stele, there was really a discovery.

"Come here! Come here! I shouted anxiously.

The three of them ran to the front and looked at the ground I was looking at, Ji Yayun was the first to shout: "These few footprints were left by Lan Lan!" There are a few more, which should be Panpan's! ”

Dou Dabao exhaled and nodded, "The marks of those big leather boots, needless to say, are definitely fat." ”

Lin Tong looked at me and said, "That's right, if you really get lost, all the references may be invalidated, but the river will not change, as long as you follow the river shoreline, even if it is far away, you will definitely be able to leave this village!" ”

I didn't respond to her, because, as the four of them looked at the footprints, I suddenly felt like someone was being spied on.

It's a very unclear feeling, but it forms a special sense of conflict with the surprise of discovering the clue, so for me, it's quite abrupt.

Just as Lin Tong was speaking, I had already turned my face to look at the river according to my feelings, and walked over without hesitation.

Dou Dabao reminded behind him: "Be careful, don't fall into ......"

Before he could finish, I had stopped less than two meters from the river.

Seeing that I was stunned, Dou Dabao and others also followed.

Looking down, Qi Qi exclaimed.

Ji Yayun: "Why are there still two footprints?" ”

Lin Tong: "This person is barefoot!" ”

Dou Dabao has experienced a lot of evil things with me, looked at me and said, "In addition to the fat man, Sang Lan, and Pan Pan, there is a fourth person who has been here!" ”

I muttered, "Not four...... It's five ......"

"Five?"

When Lin Tong asked this, I also looked at her directly.

Without waiting for her to speak, he walked around to her, crouched down, patted her feet, and motioned for her to move back.

Then, pointing to an imperceptible mark on the ground, he looked up at her and asked:

"Are you sure that the monkey we saw earlier was an illusion?"

I forgot to stop everyone just now, and although the mark was stepped on by Lin Tong, it was still faintly recognizable.

It was also a barefoot footprint, but it was by no means like an adult's foot, about one-third smaller than an adult's foot, and the toe was not only much longer than that of a normal person, but the most toe was separated from the sole of the foot to a considerable extent.

In other words, it may be difficult to imagine what kind of person would leave such a strange

I turned my head around Lin Tong and leaned forward to move the strange footprints.

But after the experience of this day, everyone immediately recognized that the footprints were not made by humans, but the imprints of the monkey's hind paws!

After two steps, I found a similar monkey paw print.

Looking up at the river, he couldn't help muttering:

"That bald old monkey is not an illusion, it is real...... Moreover, it and its owner seem to have come out of the river......"

Just when I said this, Dou Dabao suddenly screamed "I lean".

I turned my head alertly, and before I could see him clearly, I was stunned by what I saw......
