"Well done!" I secretly gave Liu Yunsheng a thumbs up, but Liang Shuang didn't notice my true thoughts, nodded to show that he understood, and followed Hu Tu upstream.

Watching them gradually disappear into the thick fog, I was about to beckon them to go, Liu Yunsheng suddenly looked at me and whispered, "Do you think Bai Lanjun is still alive?" ”

"What do you mean?" I was stunned for a moment, wondering why he suddenly asked this.

"Nothing, just ask." Liu Yunsheng prevaricated and was about to leave, so I quickly grabbed him and said, "It's not your style to ask casually, Liang Shuang is not here, you can say anything you find." ”

Liu Yunsheng didn't answer immediately, hesitated for half a minute before whispering: "It's still that mobile phone, in fact, when I found the mobile phone, I saw a few footprints nearby." ”

"Footprints? Bai Lanjun's? I asked tentatively.

Liu Yunsheng shook his head: "It's the footprints of a few men, the footprints of no shoes, and the footprints of bare feet." ”

I heard this and suddenly "chuckled" in my heart, first, I didn't expect that there would be other people here, and second, I already understood what Liu Yunsheng meant, a girl in the barren mountains and mountains met a few men, and I didn't dare to think about what would happen after that.

After taking a deep breath to calm myself down, I grabbed Liu Yunsheng by the collar and asked, "Why didn't you say such a big thing just now?" ”

"It's useless to say it, the footprints were left a few days ago, and even if something really happened, it's over now." Liu Yunsheng's reaction was very flat, he grabbed my wrist and twisted it lightly to break free, picked up the backpack and put it on his shoulder and said lightly: "But it's not hopeless, I'm telling you this just to make you mentally prepared, let's look for it first." ”

After speaking, Liu Yunsheng walked downstream along the river, Hao Jian stared at me for a while, silently took out the mountain knife and handed it to me, pressed my shoulder and whispered: "Don't be too angry, in fact, what Xiaobaiyan said makes sense, there are some things that we can't manage if we want to, let's take care of the front first." ”

"I know, but I always feel that Liang Shuang should be informed, otherwise it will be too unfair to him." I pinched my eyebrows and replied.

"Then you're wrong," Hao Jian grabbed my shoulders and chased after Liu Yunsheng, and said as he walked: "It's true that he has the right to know, but now that the eight characters haven't been skimmed, aren't you telling him at this time to make it clear to add a blockage to his heart?" ”

I nodded to show that I understood, and I had caught up with Liu Yunsheng, who had left first, and he was squatting by the river to look at something carefully, and when he saw us catching up, he beckoned: "Come and see this!" ”

"What's that?" I walked over with a mutter, and saw a basketball-sized stone on the river beach in front of Liu Yunsheng, because the river beach was full of flat pebbles, so this spherical stone was particularly conspicuous.

The surface of the stone has been severely weathered, but if you look closely, you can still see some blurred lines, this kind of arc is definitely not naturally formed, and I vaguely feel that I seem to have seen it somewhere, and when I was about to take a closer look, I heard Liu Yunsheng ask on the side: "Do you see that the material of this stone is the same as the previous statues?" ”

My heart moved, and I reached out and touched the surface of the stone, and the familiar feeling made me pause: "It's indeed the same material, and the lines on it should be part of the statue, but why is it here?" ”

"The slope here is very steep, and I guess this statue should have been on the hillside before, but it was washed away by a mudslide and this piece rolled down from it." Liu Yunsheng looked at the direction of the hillside and guessed, I followed his gaze but only saw a white mist, and said in my heart that this innate yin and yang eye is indeed better than my eye-opening spell!

After turning around to make sure that there were no other clues near the stone statue, we reassembled and continued to walk downstream, and after a while I suddenly heard two short whistles from the upstream direction, I realized that I had set off for half an hour, and quickly felt the whistle to prepare to respond, but at the moment when I just put the whistle to my mouth, a black shadow suddenly flashed in the thick fog ahead, and it only took a blink of an eye to cross the river and disappear!

Liu Yunsheng didn't say a word and took off his backpack, jumped over the river and chased the black shadow into the dense fog with one arrow step, I quickly blew a long whistle to notify the upstream, and then jumped over the river with Hao Jian and chased up!

The black shadow and Liu Yunsheng's speed was ridiculously fast, and when we chased after us, we couldn't even see the shadow, but fortunately, the river beach was full of pebbles, and running on it would make a "click" sound, otherwise Hao Jian and I would really be black-eyed!

After chasing the sound all the way for hundreds of meters, Hao Jian was already obviously physically exhausted, and he stumbled on the ground under his feet, and subconsciously pulled me when he fell.

When I got up again, Liu Yunsheng's footsteps were gone, and I kicked Hao Jian in annoyance and scolded angrily: "If you drop the chain at the critical moment, you can't run for a while, tell me what else you can do!" ”

"No...... It's not that I can't run anymore, it's that I can't run! Hao Jian gasped and replied intermittently: "You...... Didn't you notice? We've been running uphill! ”

"So what? Is this slope a problem? I waved my hand violently, and Hao Jian found that he couldn't speak clearly, so he got up directly and pulled me to the river: "Let's go downstream!" But here's his uphill climb! ”

I reacted instantly to his shout, and we were standing in the middle of an uphill road, although the slope was not very large, but the slope could be seen with the naked eye, but the water in the river seemed to have not been affected in any way, and was slowly flowing towards the height in a way that defied the rules of physics!

After discovering this, I felt that my whole person was not good, like a dementia stunned looking at the river, I didn't know what expression to make, as the saying goes, "people go to high places, water flows to low places", this is the common sense that three-year-old children know, but now common sense actually doesn't work?

Hao Jian took a few breaths to ease up, patted me on the shoulder and whispered, "I just stopped when I found this, and I feel as if we were designed." ”

"What do you mean?" I frowned and said I couldn't understand it, and my mind didn't seem to be as bright as it used to be after the worldview collapsed.

Hao Jian didn't laugh at me for the first time, looked at the direction where the footsteps last appeared and asked in a low voice, "Did you hear the footsteps when the little white face jumped over the river just now?" ”

"Doesn't think so?" I was a little unsure because I didn't have time to pay attention to it.

"I listened carefully at the time, he really didn't move at all," Hao Jian's expression was determined, he paused and continued: "Think about it again, he jumped over the two-meter-wide river at once, and there was no movement with such a big inertia, how could there be footsteps when running?" ”
