When Murray heard that Ma Shuo was leaving, he was indeed very excited and irritable, but he did not make any excessive moves.

Because he also remembered that Ma Shuo had said that he would take this opportunity to find other people of his kind. After several hesitations, Murray finally gave up on the idea of following Ma Shuo.

The fear that has been precipitated over decades and has long been engraved in the deepest part of his soul has become the biggest obstacle to behavior in Murray's heart.

Under the extreme contradiction in his heart, he still regarded retreat as an instinctive reaction.

"Bang!" A bundle of books was put down in front of Ma Shuo, and Murray pulled out two of them casually and explained, "Well, I, I also have to pass the time by reading books, okay? ”

Maybe it's because the backpack is a little lighter, or maybe it's because Murray is better at talking than expected, but in short, Ma Shuo's steps away from Sister Mountain are very easy.

At noon the next day, next to the bell tree. Liu Lin leaned against the shadow of the steep mountain wall on the right, and when he saw Ma Shuo coming back, he shook his head and sighed: "Stinky boy, don't blink next." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Ma Shuo to reply, he turned to face the stone wall, and knocked seven times on the left and right as if he were doing it casually.

The next moment, the two-meter-square boulder actually caved inward, revealing a gap that was only accessible to a single person. The shocked Ma Shuo opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief.

There is a mechanism here?

Liu Lin turned his head and smiled, beckoning: "Don't be stunned, come in with me." ”

As he spoke, he was the first to walk into the mountain.

Seeing this, Ma Shuo suddenly woke up, tightened the package on his back and stepped to follow, and as soon as he walked into the mountain, he heard a muffled "boom" around him.

"Bang!" and closed tightly again.

He had just fallen into the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, and the next moment the cave lit up with a soft and warm light.

Ma Shuo looked at it, and the walls around the circular space of nearly 500 square meters were inlaid with twelve night pearls. The hazy milky white light was not dazzling, but made him feel more comfortable.

Liu Lin stood in front of a pile of uneven canvas piles, looked at Ma Shuo and pouted: "Your kid's bounty has doubled, it's too difficult to leave by car." So let's go on our own!"

After speaking, he raised his hand and violently lifted the pile of canvases beside him, and a dilapidated locomotive with a mottled surface appeared in front of Ma Shuo's eyes.

It was wider and thicker than yesterday's locomotive, but the surface was covered with tan marks, which reminded Ma Shuo of his dagger.

Involuntarily pointed to those traces and asked, "This is?"

Liu Lin smiled, patted the seat violently and explained: "Blood, it can't be washed away!"

Sitting in the back seat of the locomotive, looking back at the slowly closing boulder again, Ma Shuo became more curious about the master.

What did he go through before to leave this completely indelible bloodstain?

Could it be the war?

Just as he was thinking about it, he felt that the locomotive suddenly roared, and he hurriedly grabbed the handrail behind him. After Liu Lin said: "Let's go!", he accelerated to 100 kilometers per hour in the blink of an eye.

If it weren't for Ma Shuo's quick reaction, he hugged Liu Lin's waist at a critical moment. I'm afraid that just this acceleration will lift him out of the car.

The southbound journey is brisk, if it weren't for the glass in front of you and overhead. Based on what Marsh saw, it was probably not much slower than Murray's speed in the sky.

Shocking inexplicable!

A locomotive can reach such speeds, and if it is equipped with wings, wouldn't it be easy to fly?

With a heart full of questions, he recalled the things that Liu Lin taught him just before leaving.

A three-section physical door that can be opened and closed without any energy device. This is the highest achievement of physical mechanisms before the invention of obsidian energy.

As for the other large or small canvas piles in the cave, perhaps due to time constraints, Liu Lin did not explain much.

But in Ma Shuo's opinion, those may also be good things. Although I don't have the opportunity to see the truth now, I should have a chance in the future.

In the afternoon, the two of them came to the north of Huanxi Port 100 kilometers, and they could reach their destination in another hour.

But Liu Lin did not continue to move forward, but found a remote forest to stop. In his words: "Hurry up, don't rush late!"

Beside the campfire, the two who were well fed and drunk stared at the fire in a daze. After a long time, Liu Lin couldn't help but wonder: "Stinky boy, now your wanted warrant is worth 100,000 gold coins! I don't think you're nervous at all?"

Ma Shuo was stunned for a moment, scratched his scalp with an embarrassed smile, and asked with an extremely calm attitude in his clear eyes: "Old man Liu, even if I am nervous, is it useful?"

This time it was Liu Lin's turn to be stunned, how could he have thought that Ma Shuo, this kid, would be so rational! According to normal people's thinking, they should be afraid and hesitant at this time, and even the whole person will be on the verge of collapse.

But the calm attitude shown by the other party was completely beyond his imagination.

couldn't help but glance at Ma Shuo deeply, and secretly wondered: Is a seven or eight-year-old child already calm to this extent?

Is it that too much has been experienced during this time?

Or have you been going through these things since before you came to Hemlock Village?

If it is the second type, then the level of mental toughness he has now is probably unimaginable to Liu Lin.

With a grin, Liu Lin didn't ask anything else, just nodded in agreement. Put yourself in his shoes, if he encounters such a situation, he will definitely comfort himself like this.

Finding the man in green to take revenge is completely different from being wanted for a lot of money.

He has decades of experience, and it should be normal for him to maintain this mentality. But the eight-year-old child in front of him made Liu Lin have to sigh.

It's just that the other party is really real, exuding a calmness from the inside out, which makes him feel bright again.

The calmer you are, the more likely you are to stay safe when you encounter great stress and uncertainty after learning your craft.

This made him can't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and sighed secretly: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the surprises that Ma Shuo gave him were really continuous." ”

This was the end of the conversation, and the two of them took their own rests. Listening to Liu Lin's even and steady breathing not far away, Ma Shuo looked at the sky from afar, constantly recalling everything he had learned during this time.

He had to memorize these things over and over again, so that he would not forget them.

It's a pity that there is no pen and paper, otherwise it would be better to write them all down. From the upheaval of Dongzhou to the present, Ma Shuo summed up a crooked truth - no matter how good a person is, it is indeed not as good as a bad pen.

There was nothing to say all night, and as soon as the east showed a touch of fish belly white in the early morning, the two of them stepped on the locomotive again and galloped towards the southeast.

Walking through villages and small towns, the two did not enter the most prosperous business districts. Because of Ma Shuo's special ability not to lose his way, let him know that the two were heading straight south.

At the confluence of the Huanxi River and the Wujiang River, there is a river sand shoal formed by the impact of two rivers, and that is their destination.

Stepping out of the car, looking at the shallows, there was only an old woman in simple clothes by the river, squatting by the water's edge to wash her clothes.

Liu Lin was a little cramped after getting out of the car, and he took steps several times but took it back. When Ma Shuo looked up and saw Liu Lin's cheeks, he saw a blush.

I couldn't help but be curious about the old woman.

At this time, Liu Lin patted Ma Shuo's head and smiled awkwardly: "Go! Say hello to that old woman!"
