"I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up?" I thought about it and asked tentatively, Hao Jian smiled bitterly when he heard it: "Unless we are in danger or he needs someone else's help, when have you ever seen him leave clues for others?" ”

After a little pondering, I found that what Hao Jian said made sense, Liu Yunsheng likes to be alone, if he is used to it, the situation just now must be to chase the black shadow by himself, and then come back to meet us after he is done, and it is not his style to deliberately make footsteps to point us out, so the footsteps may not be a hint, but want to lead us somewhere!

As soon as this thought appeared in my mind, the previous footsteps sounded again in the depths of the dense fog, and it sounded that the other party was twenty or thirty meters away, and I bumped my shoulder with Hao Jian and whispered: "Pretend to be blind." ”

With our tacit understanding for so many years, Hao Jian was stunned for a moment and understood what I meant, pulled out a dagger with one hand and put it in front of him, and groped in front of him with the other hand and shouted: "Sanshui!" Where are you! I can not see you! ”

"I can't see you either! I'm by the river! Come over first! ”

I also stretched out my hand and pretended to be blind, and Hao Jian played hide and seek on the river beach, every time I was about to meet each other, I would always inadvertently stagger away, tossing for a long time instead of converging but getting farther and farther away, if someone else saw the two of us like this, they would definitely think that these two people had a problem with their brains, only we knew that this was to lure the snake out of the hole!

The other party used footsteps twice to lure me and Hao Jian to catch up, the root of which was to lead us into the trap he prepared in advance, I don't have Liu Yunsheng's confidence to deal with all emergencies, naturally there is no reason to cooperate with their plan, the other party will definitely come to check if we find out that we are not fooled, I just need to pretend that the visibility is only a dozen centimeters, I can lead the other party to take the initiative to appear!

I didn't find any traces of any other person's activity on the hillside before, so I speculated that the other party should have been moving near the foot of the mountain, and it was theoretically impossible to know that we could open our eyes, but I wasn't too sure about it, after all, we had been active on the river beach for a long time, and if the other party was always secretly observing, my strategy of taking advantage of the poor information would seem idiotic.

Fortunately, thanks to the blessing of my grandfather's spirit in the sky, within a few minutes I saw a figure appear in the fog on the opposite bank, but I didn't show it on my face with great joy, and continued to stare at Hao Jian to play hide and seek, but I didn't expect that the person on the other side was very cautious, and stood quietly in the fog for nearly five minutes before moving a small step forward, and at his speed, he couldn't cross the river for another hour!

The problem is that I have just whistled to inform the people upstream, and it will be time for three or five minutes to arrive, and it is good for the other party to hear the movement and flee when the other party hears the news, in case we encounter a lively brain and find that our visibility is more than ten centimeters, and then it will be difficult to lure the other party out!

Thinking about this, I can't help but be so angry that I can't wait to jump into the river to calm down!

Looking at the slowly flowing river, I thought of an idea again, and out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at the figure in the fog on the opposite bank, and said in my heart Since you don't dare to come, then Lao Tzu will meet you in the past!

When I came to the river and stepped on the air and fell into the water, I struggled like crazy and shouted, "Fat man, save me!" I have leg cramps and can't stand up! ”

Hao Jian understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, pretended to take two steps and fell into the water, and then leaned towards me with a whining scream, and the two of us struggled while quietly touching the other side, and the figure in the fog only took a few steps back and stood still, as if he didn't notice our intentions!

Hao Jian and I were both overjoyed when we saw this, but at the moment when we were about to go ashore, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps upstream, and then Mei Liu rushed out of the fog, waving and shouting from afar: "Brother Sanshui, don't be afraid!" I'm here to save you! ”

"Uncle! It's all for nothing! I cursed in my heart, and then looked at the figure in the fog and turned around and ran away, and hurriedly pulled Hao Jian ashore, raised his hand and pointed to the direction where the figure disappeared and shouted: "Chase!" Let him run back and report the news, and it's all over! ”

As soon as I finished speaking, a figure "swished" out of me, and disappeared in the thick fog in the blink of an eye, I turned around and saw Liang Shuang and Mei Liu before I realized that it was Hu Tu just now, and I was about to call them for help, when I heard a muffled sound of punching and kicking from the depths of the thick fog, and soon Hu Tu dragged a thin old man out of the fog.

Throwing the little old man on the ground, Hutu hugged his shoulders and raised his chin at me: "This guy is also your man?" ”

I shook my head and squatted down to look at the old man, and I saw that he was not very old, at best about thirty years old, but he had a large hair and beard, and he had not taken care of it for a long time, so he looked a little older than his actual age.

This man was wearing a sportswear similar to a primary school uniform, but it was already dirty and could not see the original color, and his cheeks were sunken deep due to years of malnutrition, although his body was not skinny, but there was no excess fat, and his shriveled and rough skin wrapped around the muscles like iron bars, which was characteristic of living in the mountains all year round.

After that, I rummaged through the man's pocket, there were only a few coins and an empty cigarette case, the cigarette box was rotten, but a photo in the plastic film was very well protected, the photo showed a family of three smiling happily at the camera, and a little comparison showed that the man in the photo was the man lying on the ground.

Thinking of the other party's previous "cautious" behavior, I suddenly realized that it might be a kind of fear, put the change in the cigarette case and put it back in the man's pocket, sighed and whispered: "Bad people generally don't carry photos of their wives and children with them, and it is estimated that this is also a victim." ”

"Judging by the length of his hair and beard, he has lived here for at least two or three years," Liang Shuang also sighed, looked at the vast white fog around him, and said softly to himself: "How many people have been harmed in this mountainous area?" ”

Hao Jian patted Liang Shuang on the shoulder and said, "When you get your Xiaobai back, let's bring the detonator and come back again, Lao Tzu will blow up a vent for him and blow away all these broken fogs!" ”

"If only it were that simple!" Hutu hugged his shoulders and smiled strangely: "Do you think the visibility here is so low just because of the fog?" ”

"Or else?" Hao Jian asked blankly.

"And because of the dead air here," I said in front of Hu Tu, "if it's just a simple fog, opening the yin eye has no effect at all, there must have been a mass death here before, and the dead air produced by the corpse is mixed in the fog and does not disperse, which is the main reason for blocking our vision." ”

"I didn't think you knew a lot!" Hu Tu glanced at me in surprise, then looked at the white mist around him and said with a smile: "I was going to tell you later, but since you have found out, I'll tell you directly, this place is not clean, we had better not get separated, otherwise something may not happen." ”
