Unfortunately, the lower line of the envelope does not leave a detailed address. It's just that the four words of Henan Xinxiang were hastily written, which corresponded to the words on the postmark.

Xinxiang, Henan, this address is a little too general, and it is not easy to find the third uncle there.

But it's a lot narrower than our previous aimlessness.

Finally there is a little progress, which makes us a little excited.

Ma Jian and I looked through the envelope here to see if there was anything else worth noting. The fat sea over there looked at the piece of paper, looked at it for a while, and suddenly asked: "Didn't you say that every stroke of the person who paints is not empty, so what does this mean by these wavy lines on this painting?" ”

After being reminded by Fat Dahai, I also remembered that there was indeed a zigzag line on the painting, which crossed the upper half of the paper.

Ma Tan looked at the painting and said, "I think that the people who draw are mostly represented by simple brushes. So this line, I think it's either water or mountains. ”

Indeed, after Ma Jian said this, the wavy line on it does not look so abstract. That line can be a rolling mountain range or a choppy river.

It's just that this is a mountain or a water, and the difference is still far away.

Ma Tan then analyzed: "As far as I know, Xinxiang, Henan, is located in the two major basins of the Yellow River and the Haihe River, with Taihang in the north and the Yellow River in the south, with high terrain in the north and low in the south. Therefore, Xinxiang has both mountains and water, and it is really difficult to distinguish whether this wavy line is mountain or water. ”

I nodded, folded the picture and stuffed it into an envelope, and said, "Forget it, it's not easy for us to analyze this letter to this extent." The current situation is obvious, the third uncle and they are in trouble. It is very likely that this letter is from the third uncle asking us for help, and we can't delay any longer, so we have to leave for Henan immediately. Otherwise, I'm afraid they'll be in danger. ”

Fat Dahai also said: "Yes, hasn't the place of Henan Xinxiang been confirmed?" Let's go there first and then make the next step. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and maybe you will encounter new clues when you get there. ”

Ma Jian continued: "I was not very busy at school during this time, and I also followed you. Whether it's going into the mountains or wading through the water, some of my experience may be useful. ”

I was worried about Ma Tan's body, because this time I went, it would definitely not be as comfortable as at home. As Ma Tan got older, some of the field exploration tasks in the school were no longer allowed to be done by himself. But Ma Tan's attitude this time was very resolute, he said that without the third uncle to quarrel with him, his life seemed to be missing something.

So this time, he must go in person.

I know that he and the third uncle have been arguing since they first met. But they also gradually deepened their relationship in the noisy quarrels of each adventure.

This time the third uncle disappeared, and Ma Jian seemed very anxious. This kind of overflowing anxiety is not superficial, but comes from the lungs

Fung.

So I didn't stop Ma Jian too much, so I agreed to go to Xinxiang with the three of us.

I was going to leave the next day, but Ma Tan told me to wait another day.

I asked him what he wasn't ready for.

Ma Yan smiled and said, "I think it's not enough for us to go this time, just the three of us." One of the most powerful helpers is missing. ”

I was stunned: "The third uncle is not here, and Chu Liuyan is not here, who else is there to help?" Liang Yue? No, you can't let her go, it's too dangerous. ”

Ma Jian shook his head: "Where are you going?" I'm not talking about Liang Yue's girl. ”

"And who else? Old horse, don't sell it at this time. Say it if you want to......"

I waved my hand impatiently.

Lao Ma smiled: "Have you forgotten your partner?" It's good for you, throw it to me, and you kid will be out of hiding. You're not going to take it back, are you? ”

"How can I ...... Partner...... Iron pillars? ”

After Lao Ma said this, I suddenly figured out who the helper he was referring to.

Iron pillar, the stray dog I picked up.

Ma Yan smiled and nodded.

At the mention of the iron pillar, I was still excited. Speaking of which, I've been separated from this dog for a longer period of time.

I took it in back then, but I took pity on him, plus it helped me. Because it's not good-looking, it looks a little ugly. I don't think anyone who wants to have a pet will choose it. So it's pretty much the same thing I picked up.

Who knew that after Ma Tan saw it, he actually called it a spirit dog, which is the incarnation of an ancient mythical beast in the folk, called Xuanyuan Dog. Or one of the nine sons of the dragon, called the prototype of the mocking wind.

Ma Tan said that this kind of Xuanyuan dog has a pair of divine eyes that can distinguish between loyalty, treachery, good and evil, and is good at distinguishing between people, ghosts, immortals and demons. It can also play a role in warding off evil spirits and driving away ghosts.

But to be honest, apart from the occasional glimpse of its loyalty, the Iron Pillar played the role of troublemaker most of the time. In addition to lying lazily on his stomach, he just didn't see enough delicious food. Especially the last time I took it to the art academy with the fat man, it showed its true colors as a dog. When I saw a beautiful girl, I stepped forward to slime. At the critical time, those girls actually liked it, which made me and the fat man feel ashamed.

As for the eyes of the iron pillar, where are the divine eyes? What else can you say that it can distinguish between loyalty, treachery, good and evil, and distinguish between people, ghosts, immortals and demons, in my opinion, it clearly has a pair of colored eyes.

Ma Jian said that the dog's spiritual sense was not fully developed, and it was a bit bad to put it in my hands. So I asked Ma Tan if he could help me train the dog.

Ma Tan said that the School of Paleontology has a test base in the suburbs. There are some relatively rare animals and plants in it, and Tiezhu, as a Xuanyuan dog, is also qualified to be stationed.

I'm also happy to do this, so that not only does Tiezhu have a place to live, but also develops his physical potential, and I don't have to run around with it, which is a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone.

Who knows the difference, it's almost a year away. In the middle, I haven't seen it except for a video of it training once at Ma Tan's place. Because Ma Tan said that the training is not over, I can't see it. Otherwise, the training effect will be affected.

Unexpectedly, today Ma Jian took the initiative to mention the iron pillar, which surprised me.

"Old Ma, why did Tiezhu graduate?" I asked.

Ma Jian shook his head and said, "It's not a full graduation yet, and the graduation certificate hasn't been obtained yet." ”

"Then why did you remember to let me bring the iron pillar this time?" I asked.
