"This is my own brother! I have to admit it! After silently reciting a few times in my mind to calm down, I repacked my gear, went out with my mountain knife, and walked along the grassy path towards the back of the village, and after a small downhill, I saw the small river I had heard about before.

The course of this small river is very regular, eighty percent of the people in the village dug it themselves for the convenience of water, and it should be the big river we saw before, the water quality is also very clear, but it is not so cold and biting.

I looked at the depth of the river, and I knew that the secret base of the Immortal Society had nothing to do with this river, because He Huai had asked Hao Jian before if they could swim, but the deepest part of the river had just overflowed the surface of their feet, and it was difficult to drown a dog here, let alone swimming, which required water.

But I don't think there are no clues here, since swimming must require a lot of water, and the mountainous terrain is undulating, it is difficult to form two sets of relatively independent water systems, so no matter where they play in the water here, this artificial river can take me to find them.

To say that in a whole set of river systems, the places with the largest amount of water are generally located downstream, but no one dares to pack a ticket for this kind of thing, and then contact the consistent style of the Changsheng Society, I decided to go the opposite way and go upstream first.

Half an hour later I saw the man-made gates, where gabions and sandbags were piled up to form a dam, and then steel plates were used to make a gate, and two wrist-thick iron chains were welded to the steel plates, which extended upwards through a pulley and connected to the winches on both sides.

The mechanical principle of this set of sluice is very simple, I looked left and right to understand the approximately, it is estimated that when the water is abundant, the gate will be half opened, and when the river flow is less in the dry season, then turn the winch to open the sluice to ensure the water supply, so that no matter what season the village will not be short of water, and at the same time can prevent the water from flowing too much to wash away the river and even harm the village.

When the fog village was closed by the mudslide, it was the rainy season, so until now the gate is still ajar, I had the idea to open the gate, to see if this artificial river will happen after it is filled with water, but when I got close to the winch, I found that it was impossible, the wooden winch had begun to decay for too long, and the two iron chains were also rusty and mottled in the fog, and a touch was a hand of reddish-brown rusty water.

It stands to reason that the winch that decayed into such a winch can no longer withstand the force, and should have been dragged into slag by the weight of the steel plate a long time ago, and the reason why it has remained in its original state is that the steel plate of the gate is also rusted to death, and if I want to open the gate and release water, I have to blow up the entire gate.

I didn't even have anything to start a fire in my body, and blowing up the gate was even more whimsical, and there was no trace of this gate being opened, which meant that this had nothing to do with the secret base, so I shook my head and gave up the idea of blowing up the door, dragged the barbed wire of the gabion to the embankment, and continued to walk upstream against the river.

After another half an hour, I came to the second river fork, this fork is obviously a natural formation, the wide river is nearly ten meters wide, the rushing river water drives the air flow to blow away the dense fog, and you can even see the scene hundreds of meters away when you squat down!

A long and narrow mountain peak pierced out of the bottom of the river and split the water in two, one of which was a tributary around me, but more of the river water poured into the river behind the mountain, and I could not see the scene behind the mountain from my position, I could only hear the rumbling sound of the water like rolling thunder, and I thought that the water in that river would not be too calm.

I squatted down and looked upstream against the surface of the river, and after meandering up a few hundred meters, there was another turn, and there was no trace of human activity in these hundreds of meters, it seemed that Hao Jian and they were not here.

"It turns out that the Immortal Society is really so uncreative......" I muttered a little embarrassed, I was complacent about my own opposite, but I didn't expect to waste more than an hour in vain, and fortunately no one else around saw it, otherwise I would have to find a crack to get into.

Returning to Wucun the same way, I sat on the edge of the river and looked at the slowly flowing river, and began to wonder if I should go downstream to see, it stands to reason that this kind of problem does not need to be thought about at all, but I am always worried that I will run in vain, now Hao Jian and they have set off for the secret base, the longer I delay here, the farther they will fall, and the more difficult it will be to catch up with them.

Grabbing my hair and pondering for a few minutes, I inadvertently saw something flashing in the grass next to me, and walked over to find that it was Liu Yunsheng's mobile phone!

Liu Yunsheng's mobile phone also does not have a lock screen, swipe open the screensaver and see a photo, I can't say what it is, because I only saw a piece of white, at first I thought it was the phone accidentally touched in the trouser pocket, but after a tenth of a second, I suddenly reacted, this photo was taken of the surrounding fog!

"But what are you doing with a thick fog?" I muttered to zoom in on the photo and looked closely, and found that there were some darker silhouettes in the thick fog, and two rows of square shadows were arranged very neatly, I stared at the screen for half a minute, and suddenly realized that this was a fog village shot from above.

According to the content of the photo, I speculate that the shooting distance of this photo should be about 100 meters, less than this distance the photo will not be so blurry, and beyond this distance, you can only shoot white fog; The shooting angle shows that the photographer's position is much higher than that of Kirimura, but there is no such high position in front of Kirimura and to the left and right, which means that the photographer is behind Kirimura!

I tried to construct the scene of the photo shoot in my mind, and my intuition told me that I could use trigonometric functions to calculate the shooting position through the shooting angle and distance, but unfortunately the little knowledge I learned in school was all returned to the teacher as soon as I graduated, and I pondered for nearly ten minutes, but I didn't remember what trigonometric functions were.

"Math teacher, I'm sorry for you!" I sighed, picked up the river water and splashed it on my face, the cold temperature shook my spirit, although I don't know where the photo was taken, but I already know the direction of the shot, wading across the artificial river and continuing forward, after a few dozen meters I saw a steep hillside.

Said to be a hillside, in fact, it is a large pile of stones, there is not even a grain of soil as far as the eye can see, all are rough stones exposed to the air, I noticed that there are a few stones at the foot of the mountain that obviously do not belong here, it should be someone who stepped on it when they climbed up, and my intuition told me that the person who went up the mountain was Hao Jian!

"Hold on! I'll be coming to you right away! I whispered to myself, saying that I had climbed the stones and climbed up, although some of the stones had been weathered and loosened, but most of the stones were still very strong, and after a while I climbed up dozens of meters, turned around and lay down on the hillside, took out my mobile phone and began to photograph the foggy village below the mountain.

The Hundred Evil Array can affect my eyesight, but it is of no use to the phone camera at all, and the two photos are put together, although the details are a little different, I can still conclude that the photo was taken here, in other words, I found the route they took when they left!
