Chapter 175: Footprints Outside the Car
When the Seventh Master heard Su Shiren's request, they all breathed a sigh of relief, this matter is not difficult, but they just stood up to prove it for Su Shiren. Especially the old guys who have already washed their hands in the golden basin of the seventh master, they actually have little to do with Datong, and they are not afraid of offending anyone, so a few people testified for Su Shiren.
"Am I doing something wrong?" The seventh master felt that he was reasonable, and said to me with raised eyebrows: "These words, but the top master said to a few of us in person back then, we just did what the top master told us, is it wrong?" ”
"From beginning to end, I didn't say anything wrong with you, I just came to ask, don't get angry." I know that there is nothing wrong with what the Seventh Master and a few of them did, Lu Fangding personally introduced Su Shiren to the Seventh Master back then, and several of them paid Su Shiren the money to recognize the owner.
"You also asked, and I answered." The seventh master shook his hand and said, "If it's okay, let's leave quickly." ”
"Seventh Master, that Su Shiren, what is the origin?"
"You ask me, who do I ask. This person was brought by the top master, why don't you ask the top master? ”
"That's what you said, can the top master come back this time? How do I go about asking him? "I put on a posture that I wouldn't leave without asking.
"I told you earlier, Su Lao is not familiar with us, and we rarely meet. The seventh master spread his hands: "What do you want me to say, so that you are willing to believe it?" ”
I estimate that the Seventh Master may not be very familiar with that Su Shiren. There is no doubt that only Lu Fangding knows the origin of Su Shiren. If you continue to entangle with the Seventh Master here, there may be no result. So I winked at Xiao Mao and turned out of the yard.
"Do you think the Seventh Master is lying?"
"It doesn't look like a lie." Xiao Mao said: "Some things are obvious, if Su Shiren really buys the seventh master and lets the seventh master come out to say something wrong, will the seventh master continue to live here?" Even if he wanted to live, Su Shiren had to let him leave Huayang. ”
I thought about it, this is indeed the truth, if the seventh master was weak-hearted, it is estimated that he would have left Huayang a long time ago and hid far away. If he doesn't leave here, it means that he may really not have a ghost in his heart.
I don't know where this Su Shiren came from, so I can't be sure if he detained me in Wacun. Xiao Mao and I returned to our accommodation, and now that the preparations are completely done, we are ready to go at any time.
This time, I made up my mind not to take Lao Wang and them to Ta'er Lake. I feel as if my psyche is getting more and more fragile, and if I see Lao Wang die in front of my eyes again, I won't be able to bear that pressure.
I made a decision and called Zhang Momo. Zhang Momo was still in his hometown, and when the phone was connected, I could still hear Zhang Jiafu talking next to him.
"Feel at home better than in the wild, right?"
"It's good, eat and watch movies, and chat with Lao Zhang." Zhang Momo said: "Lao Zhang told me about you going to find him, and he also said that you should look like a sincere person who can't lie." ”
"I'm ashamed."
We had a few small talks, and I got down to business. I was afraid that Zhang Momo would think too much, so I said my thoughts very completely, anyway, there is only one central idea, that is, to take the three of them to continue to act, there is no benefit.
After listening to my words, Zhang Momo didn't say anything for a long time, and after a long time, she said, "You decided to go alone?" ”
"It's not alone, and Xiaomao helps."
"Well, be careful. Lao Wang and Ning Kitten's side, I'll explain it to them. ”
"Okay, when I come back, I'll contact you as soon as possible."
"By all means...... Be careful. ”
After hanging up the phone, I felt a lot more at ease in my heart, no matter what the situation would be when I went to Ta'er Lake this time, at least I didn't have to worry about the safety of Lao Wang and the three of them.
Xiao Mao asked me to discuss with Chen Dong the specific plan for the Ta'er Lake operation this time. Chen Dong is reliable and will not spread these things. The terrain over there, Xiao Mao and I are already familiar with it, and the only thing we have to figure out now is what is in the hole that was sealed up a few years ago.
Xiao Mao and I have no experience in blasting, so we can only tell Chen Dong about the general situation over there, and after Chen Dong listened to our story, he said that the problem should not be big, but we should pay attention to the amount of filling and blasting location.
The three of us had a good rest for a day and then set off from Huayang. The equipment needed was transported by Xiao Mao to other friends first, and the three of us acted alone.
On the way to Ta'er Lake, we have already walked once, without any stops and accidents in the middle, and we went directly to the small village that had been abandoned for many years where Lao Wang had an accident. The person entrusted by Xiao Mao had already driven the car with the equipment here, and as soon as the two sides met, his two friends left the equipment and left.
The village is still the same as it was, but I have a deep psychological shadow on this village. The three of us did not enter the village, but stopped a few kilometers west of the village and rested.
It's the hottest season of the year, but the temperature difference between day and night on the Gobi is very large, and the night is still a little cool. We didn't have a tent and just rested in the car for a few hours. Xiao Mao probably knew that as soon as I arrived, my heart was more burdened, so I deliberately chatted all over the world, saying some strange things to divert my attention, and the three of them chatted for almost two hours before they went to sleep.
Of course, it is impossible to really sleep well in such a place, that is, like a nap, you sleep very lightly, and you will wake up after a while. This quality of sleep did not relieve fatigue at all, and the next morning before dawn, we all woke up and could not sleep again.
"Let's get to the destination, set up a tent to make up for sleep, now let's stick to it." The little mullah opened the door and said, "You drive this car, I'll drive the other one." ”
I adjusted the seat and rubbed my face vigorously, and I accidentally caught a glimpse of Xiao Mao outside the car. Xiao Mao seemed to be standing outside and was stunned.
"What's wrong?" I got out of the car and walked over to him and saw him staring at the ground without saying a word.
Following Xiao Mao's gaze, I felt my heart pound a few times. On the ground outside the car, there was a row of almost unrecognizable footprints.
These footprints are definitely not the three of us.
Xiao Mao and I stared at the ground for a long time, and then walked around the car, the sky was not completely bright, with a flashlight, you can see that this row of footprints seems to circle our car, and then stop outside the co-pilot's window. Judging by the direction of the footprints, the owner of the footprints stayed outside the car window for a while.
My scalp was starting to tingle, and at this moment, I could even make up what had happened sometime last night, when someone was circling around our car and leaning on the window looking in.
"We're being targeted again." I shook my head and looked around. The last time Xiao Mao and I stayed alone in Ta'er Lake, I could feel that in the corners we never discovered, there may have been a pair of eyes watching us all the time, and after so much time, these eyes are still there.
"Let's not care so much, just like last time, what we should do." Xiao Mao raised his foot, rubbed away the faint footprints on the ground, and said, "We are going to look for this person, we must not find it, I think that if it is time for him to come out, he will come out himself." ”
As soon as Xiao Mao said this, I also agree that since some situations are unguardable, then simply do not take precautions, just like he said, when it is time to come out, any cow, ghost, snake and god will come out.
We were not disturbed by this series of footprints, and simply had breakfast before leaving. The distance from here to Ta'er Lake is not far, and there is no rest in between, and I arrived at Ta'er Lake in one go.
At this moment, there is no difference between Ta'er Lake and the last time we left, and the water that has accumulated in the center of the lake has also evaporated a lot. If my estimate is correct, the lake will be completely cut off for a while, and when the water in the middle of the lake evaporates, it will become a dry barren land.
Xiao Mao and I went down to take a look first, and the gap in the lake was still the same, and the dark mark made when we left last time was intact, which means that no one has come here during this time, and no one has entered the space behind this gap.
The three of us took turns sleeping and then packed up some supplies and gear. Xiao Mao and Chen Dong's backpacks were full of explosives and detonators, and my backpack was full of water and food. The three of them got into the gap in turn, and slowly moved forward according to the road they had walked last time.
The underground space was still silent, and we made our way to the rock-filled area. Chen Dong looked nearby, and then lay down in front of the hole that was tightly sealed by stones, and observed left and right for a long time.
"Blasting here, there shouldn't be a chain reaction, there may be something you are looking for in the hole behind the stone, don't be too reckless, control the dosage, blast one by one."
Chen Dong is a veteran in this area, and according to the distribution of stones, he found the best blasting position.
After the first blasting, a crater about seventy or eighty centimeters in diameter was blown around the filling hole. Chen Dong picked up some fragments of blown up stones near the blasting site and looked at them.
"This place shouldn't have been blocked for a long time." Chen Dong pinched a stone, broke the black layer of adhesive on the stone, and said, "It is estimated that it will be about three years." ”
"How do you see that?"
"These binders, which are asphalt-mixed polyurethane, should be about three years based on my experience."
"Three years?" I took a look, the last time I groped here, according to some item evidence, I analyzed, this place has a lot to do with the ancient Xiangxiong people, 90% of it was built by the ancient Xiangxiong people, but later for some unknown reasons, the Xiangxiong people abandoned this place. I also deduced that the Zhangxiong had sealed the hole before leaving.
However, Chen Dong judged that this place would only be blocked for about three years at most.
What is the concept of three years? Five years ago, Lu Fangding also came here with a team, if Chen Dong's judgment was correct, then it means that after Lu Fangding, there were still people here, and the originally open hole was completely blocked.
