Chapter 186: Black Smoke or White Smoke
Xie Kuan and Zhao Kite's uncle Jiuchang are old friends, if one of us is Xie Kuan's internal response, then this person must be Zhao Kite.
The current situation is: can Zhao Fengkite's words still be believed?
I hesitated to make a decision lightly. Tan Zhe patted his head and said in surprise: "The kite analysis is not unreasonable. Speaking of which, the situation that the old dragon cave is a tomb circle is the land that Uncle Mu and Mu Tongtong told us. We are not close to Tong Tong, and that Uncle Mu looks at us unpleasantly from beginning to end. Maybe they made up a lie to deceive us? ”
Tan Zhe has been carried away by emotion. I was a little annoyed and asked him, "Although we are not close to Tong Tong, we have no grudges in the long days and no hatred in the near future, right?" Why are people so good at lying to us? ”
Tan Zhe was also a little angry, he said: "That's not accurate. Sometimes, for reasons we can't even imagine. What's more, I really don't understand ......"
"One is a master who saved us in danger, and the other is a stranger who has just known each other for two or three days, who should you believe?"
I couldn't help but sneer: "Is the relationship necessarily reliable if you have known each other for a long time?" Speaking of which, we met Zhao Fengkite before you, and when it comes to the critical time, don't you still believe her or not? ”
"You-" Tan Zhe was not good at words, and he was suddenly blocked by me and couldn't speak.
Liu Yanyan saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, so he hurriedly said, "Brother Tan Zhe, don't be angry with your senior brother. He has always been a man who speaks to his lips and has no words to hold. Actually, I can understand his feelings. He's worried about a few of us in danger. ”
I sighed silently and hung my head to say no more. If the old dragon cave was really some kind of trap set by Xie Yan, I would have broken it myself, but I couldn't watch my brother and sister take risks with me.
"But," Liu Yanyan turned her head to look at me again, changed the conversation, and said, "I also agree with Sister Kite's opinion." We really can't go back like this. Since they are all here, no matter whether there is someone we are looking for in the Old Dragon Cave, we have to go and break through. But if there is a glimmer of hope, brother, we will not give up. ”
I said that he was Liu Yanyan's senior brother, but in fact, I didn't have much contact with her. Liu Yanyan, this little girl, is usually an unobtrusive person, and I never thought she could say such a thing. Listening to it, my heart was a little excited.
But, "I'll go myself, and you'll wait at the bottom of the mountain." ”
Liu Yanyan smiled and said, "Senior brother, if Xie Yan really set a trap waiting for us, do you think that with his ability, it is useless for us to resist?" We have already reached the foot of the mountain, not to mention not going up the mountain, or hiding in the ant hole, we still can't escape his calculations. ”
Liu Yanyan's words came down, knowing with reason, moving with emotion, so that I couldn't help but have another hope: Perhaps, it is really Mu Tongtong who is deceiving us, there is really someone in the old dragon cave who can save my life!
When the three of them saw that my expression was loose, they began to get together to discuss the route into the mountain and how to find the old dragon cave.
Xie Tuan once said that the Old Dragon Cave is a treasure of feng shui, located at the end of Sihe Village.
But where is the end of Sihe Village?
Mu Tongtong's family lives in the valley, with a few neighbors scattered around. And I remember that she once said that she was not familiar with the villagers in the mountains. Part of Sihe Village is on the mountain, but on which mountain, and where is it on the mountain?
When I asked this question, everyone was in deep thought.
Naturally, we can find a nearby villager to inquire about the location of the Old Dragon Cave. But I have a hunch that they will definitely answer like Uncle Mu and Mu Tongtong. When the time comes, if they leak the news to Uncle Mu or Mu Tongtong, won't it be tantamount to startling the snake?
Liu Yanyan suddenly patted his head and said happily, "Have you noticed the kitchen of Mu Tongtong's house?"
We didn't know what to do, and looked at her with a frown, waiting for her to continue.
Liu Yanyan said: "Smoke! They cook with firewood, and the chimneys of every house are smoking! When the time comes, we only need to observe where there is smoke, and then we can roughly know where people live. ”
The three of us looked at each other, and I smiled and said, "Shibei three days, I really should be impressed by my junior sister!" It's a bit of a hassle, but it's still a solution! Sister, how did you come up with the idea? ”
The younger sister jokingly said: "I can be like you, my brain is made of elm, I am smart!"
We looked at the time, and it was almost noon, and the smoke was about to rise from the cooking stoves in every house! Without further ado, we can't afford to delay any longer!
A few of us began to look for the road we had just walked down the mountain, and we were a little worried that the pace was too fast to catch up with Mu Tongtong who sent us out of the village, so we walked very depressed all the way.
Just halfway through, Liu Yanyan excitedly pointed to the valley and said, "I saw the smoke, there are several places!"
Today's autumn is crisp and windy, and the sun shines on the earth without dazzling or overcast. Not far away, a few puffs of white smoke rose to the clouds, and although it was a little faint under the blue sky, it was enough to excite us.
We walked for a while in the direction of the smoke, and suddenly we noticed that there was a puff of black smoke rising into the sky at an angle of thirty degrees to the distance we were traveling.
Tan Zhe sighed: "I'm afraid that this family has picked up wet firewood, and the black smoke is so big."
Liu Yanyan said: "It is also possible that someone is asking for help!" Firewood is as important as food rations for the people in the mountains, and they will definitely prepare a lot of it, and no matter what, they will not use wet wood to cook. ”
Zhao Fengkite's words were much more concise and to the point: "Tell me directly, which direction should I go?"
I looked at it, shook my head and said, "It seems that the black smoke is also floating up from the mountain, and it is farther away from us, is it more in line with the setting at the end of the village?"
Tan Zhe shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily."
Liu Yanyan thought about it, and finally stood in my line and said, "Since it is the end of the village, there must be fewer villagers living there, right?" I felt that the black smoke was lonely, but the white smoke was very close. ”
Tan Zhe looked at Zhao Fengkite, his meaning was very clear, the three of us have already become perverted, now it depends on how she stands in line.
Zhao Fengkite only hesitated slightly, then pointed in the direction of the black smoke and said, "Black smoke!"
The minority obeys the majority, and Tan Zhe can't say anything.
So the four of us turned around again and walked in the direction of the black smoke.
The mountain road is difficult to navigate, and the direction of the black smoke is even more rugged. Fortunately, the family did not know what they were cooking, and the chimney smoked for an hour before it stopped.
And we happened to climb over the last ridge and saw a thatched hut hidden in the depths of the green trees.
