Since I came into contact with Ma Tan, the Ma Jian I know is a guy who never obeys the old. Whether he is on the podium of the university or in his laboratory, he has always worked hard and never said anything soft.

But today, he actually confessed that he was old for the first time.

These words made me and the fat man very sad. Let an old man in his sixties follow us here, running all the way through the mountains at night. Although the old horse didn't complain a word, I was very upset when I heard it.

I hurriedly found a slightly more open place for everyone to settle down in.

In fact, Fat Dahai and I were so tired that we felt like our bones were going to fall apart. You can imagine what the body of an old horse feels like.

The three of us lay on our backs in the grass, and no one spoke for a while.

Finally, when the sun rises at the head, it shines straight down, making people unable to open their eyes. Then I said, "Do we have to change our plans, it's not a way to keep going?" ”

Fat Dahai also said: "Who says it's not." If it goes on like this, sooner or later it will be tossed to death by these little ghosts. You say, we can't communicate with those little ghosts, why do I feel that they are not very reliable? Seeing that we had already run into the mountains, we didn't find any clues from Uncle Shi. Don't end up, I can't find my uncle, our own business is still delayed. ”

I shook my head: "But the question is, what else can we do but believe in them?" And we can't get them to slow down yet. It's a real problem......"

At this time, Ma Yan, who had taken a break, said: "Don't worry, my old bones will not fall apart, I can hold on, rest during the day, and continue to rush at night." ”

Fat Dahai waved his hand: "You can pull it down." You can hold it, I can't hold it. These little ghosts are like urging their lives, and they don't know if they can really find Uncle Shi or wander around in this forest. If you want me to say, we can't put all our hopes in them. ”

I still didn't give up, took out the third uncle's towel again, and tried to make the iron pillar smell it. Tie Zhu is still indifferent, it seems that there is really no trace of the third uncle nearby. This also makes me wonder if those three little imps will take us to find the third uncle. Are they leading us on the road to find the third uncle?

If the three little ghosts have been following Granny Zhang's instructions, then they are undoubtedly taking us to find the third uncle. It's just that at least from the current point of view, we haven't shortened the distance between us and the third uncle because we have been on the road for several nights in a row.

Because if he was close to the third uncle, since Tie Zhu could smell Chu Liuyan's bed sheet and find his blood robe, he would definitely be able to find the clue of the third uncle from the smell of the third uncle's towel.

According to this inference, it is certain that the distance between the third uncle and us at this time should be far beyond the range of the iron pillar's sense of smell.

So could it be that the three little ghosts didn't take us to the third uncle at all? After all, there is no more communication between us and the three imps.

The fat man has always had this question.

These days three

The path that a little imp takes us is irregular. It seems to us that we are walking in a blind way, and sometimes it even feels like we are going in circles all the time.

But it can't be said that they don't do their best. In the past few days, those three imps have formed a tacit understanding with us.

We would cook a pot of komane mushrooms for them every night and keep them a little further away from us. And they will come out close to midnight to eat. When they were done, they would chirp a few times to signal us, and then they would continue on their way.

At this time, the iron pillar will scream and lead us to follow.

From midnight to dawn the next day, it was time for us to hurry. They took us with us for a moment.

During the day, we all rest, and we don't know where the little imp hides during the day. Anyway, we didn't find any trace of them around.

We spend the morning searching for food and water in the surrounding area, and in the afternoon we basically rest.

The schedule is relatively fixed, for several days in a row.

Does this mean that there is also a certain purpose on the side of the little ghost. If this purpose is not unexpected, it should be to find the third uncle.

In fact, at the beginning, I didn't have any doubts like Fat Dahai, but I didn't really want to face this reality yet. Because this is the only clue we can control at the moment, and it is this clue that supports our will. Including the old horse, his body was tired, but he was still gritting his teeth and persevering.

If this clue is broken, the willpower that supports us will also collapse. Whether we will be able to get out of this mountain alive or not will be unknown.

So I can only firmly believe that these three little ghosts will definitely take us to find the third uncle. This belief has never wavered.

Fortunately, Ma Tan has rich experience, and the mountains are very densely forested, and you can see water everywhere, and you can also see mountain springs flowing. So all along, our food and drink can still be guaranteed, and the iron pillar can occasionally catch a bird, catch a rabbit or something, and give us a tooth sacrifice. Otherwise, I don't have the physical strength to toss with the three little ghosts.

Even so, the rush over the past few days still exerted us a lot of physical strength.

So much so that this time we stayed where we were, and for the whole morning, no one had the energy to look for food. It's just that three people are lying on their backs on a flat ground to rest.

And the special dog food we brought for the iron pillar has also been eaten, and now it is basically self-sufficient.

I lay on the grass until the sun was about to sink in the afternoon, and then I got up from the ground.

And Ma Tan and Fat Dahai are still sleeping. Tiezhu didn't know where to go to play. This guy's physical strength is extraordinary, we are tired as dogs, but he is full of energy.

However, at this moment, I suddenly heard a bark from the iron pillar.

Due to the relatively empty terrain here, a dog barking suddenly came out, and I couldn't tell which direction it was coming from.

At first, I didn't care. I thought it was the iron pillar playing crazy, where was he.

Who knows, the dog barked one after another.

That's when I realized something was wrong.

I copied the Take-off and Landing Dragon Wooden Sword, and roughly discerned the source of the sound, wanting to see what was going on.

Fortunately, the cries of the iron pillars continued, which made me constantly correct my route and search ahead.

The cry of the pillar grew clearer and clearer, and I got closer and closer.
