Teng Chongchong was shocked and described to me what had just happened.

It turned out that when she had just come to the bank of the river, she felt that the river seemed to be strange.

It stands to reason that the stream from top to bottom always has an upstream and downstream stream, but the river in front of Tengchongchong seems to be stationary, motionless.

Teng Chongchong jumped down, and just as he was about to walk in to take a look, a clump of aquatic plants suddenly surged up on the surface of the river, followed by a woman with white hair with soaked skin, and crawled out of the river.

Teng Chongchong's first reaction was to scream, but instead of running towards Liao Kao and them, he led the woman away in the opposite direction.

She said that she only cared about running for her life along the way, and she didn't have the heart to see what the woman looked like.

But as soon as she was not careful, she stepped on the stone and fell to the ground, and the naked woman suddenly climbed onto Teng Chongchong's body.

Teng Chongchong was ready to die generously, but strangely enough, the woman turned around and left.

After making sure that everything was safe, Teng Chong rushed back to find Liao Kao and Sui He, but neither of them was nowhere to be found.

When he was in the same place, he was afraid that the woman would find him again, so he had to look around the mountains aimlessly.

At last he was tired and sleepy, so he nestled in the col and fell asleep in a daze.

"Then she gave you this copper coin?"

Teng Chongchong saw me holding her copper coin, and hurriedly nervously wanted to snatch it back, "No, this is mine, maybe I accidentally dropped it." ”

I was surprised by her reaction, and I quickly raised my hand.

"Yours? Where did you come from? ”

She hesitated not to say, and I had to take back the copper coin, "You see you can't say it, so how can it be proved that it is yours?" ”

"Okay, okay, I say." She said as she pulled out a box from her backpack, the size of the palm of her hand. The box has a lot of sunken dark lines on it, and most of them are round.

She motioned for me to put the coin on it, and I picked one and pasted it, and found that the size and texture of the coin matched the dark pattern, as if the coin itself was part of the box.

She said, "Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you, this copper coin is the key on this box." There are four identical copper coins, and the box can only be opened after all four are collected. But after four years of searching, I only found one. ”

"Do you know what's in this box?"

Teng Chongchong shook his head, "I don't know, I stole this box from my dad." Four years ago, there was a fire in my house, and my dad rushed into the fire to retrieve the box, but my mom died inside. I never understood how important this box was to make him care whether my mother lived or died. ”

When she said this, her voice was much hoarse, her hands clenched into fists, and tears fell out of her eyes.

"I've been living at my grandfather's house since the fire. It wasn't until not long later that my dad said he was going to sell the house, and we had another argument over it. I stole the box out in a fit of rage, hoping to see what was inside so that my dad would be so cruel as to throw my mom in the fire. ”

I didn't know what to say, so I reached out and gently patted her on the shoulder.

She wiped away her tears and put the box away with the copper coin, "It's okay this time, are you satisfied with making me cry?" ”

I blamed myself and apologized "I...... I'm sorry. ”

She patted her ass and stood up, "It's okay, after all these years, I just want an answer." ”

I put my other hand in my pocket and tried to take it out.

She said at this time, "I feel refreshed when I think of Teng Jianmin's old thing's expression after he found out that this thing is gone." It's a pity that I haven't seen him again in so many years, otherwise I would have seen him with my own eyes. ”

I was halfway stuck, shocked and asked, "Who are you talking about?" Teng Jianmin? ”

She looked at me puzzled, "yes, what's wrong?" You know him. ”

I quickly shook my head and denied, "Ah, I don't know, I don't know." ”

As I spoke, I put back the copper coin I had gotten halfway and fell into deep thought.

It stands to reason that the four copper coins that Teng Chongchong is looking for have already been collected. One was in her own hands, one was in my hands, and one was in Lao Hao's hands, which was later sent to the police station as evidence, and the other was delivered to my father by an unknown courier.

The hand of fate turned over the clouds and tied me to Teng Chongchong.

I rushed back to the creek with Tengchong and turned on the laser pointer.

After Lao Meng and Liao Kao saw the signal, they also rushed back.

Suihe hugged Tengchong, and the two of them cried together.

I briefly talked about how Teng Chongchong was found, and what happened after she went missing.

Liao Kao was a little scared when he heard this, and said to me gratefully, "Thanks to you, I really don't know what to say." In the future, if you need my help, I will do my best. ”

I said a modest excuse, but in my heart I was still thinking about the copper coin.

I wanted to know who had delivered it to me, and I wanted to know what my dad and I had to do with it. However, these many questions may be answered in this box of Tengchong Chong.

We're bound to go together, but I don't want to tell the whole story.

After thinking about it, I suddenly said, "Teng Chong Chong is looking for the copper coin, I know the whereabouts of one of them." ”

Teng Chongchong put away his tears, rushed over and grabbed my arm and asked in surprise, "Really?" Where? ”

I told me how I went missing and the package I received before I went missing. It's just that the copper coin is in my father's hand, as long as I can find my dad, I can find the second copper coin.

I chose to say that there are two considerations for this matter, first, in this way, the power to find my father has changed from me and Lao Meng to five people.

Since Teng Chongchong wants that copper coin so much, he will naturally spare no effort to find my father. Since they were able to find the first copper coin, it means that they at least know the ins and outs of this matter better than I do. Second, leave a copper coin in my hand, this matter is still within my control, at least it can save my life at a critical moment.

My dad once told me that life is like a gambler at the table, some win and some lose. When you run out, it's time to get off the table, so never let yourself run out of chips.

Among the three people, Liao Kao is obviously the most capable of calm thinking.

So he didn't promise me anything at the moment, just said that this matter seems to be a bit complicated, so it is better to go back and discuss it slowly.

Lao Meng is not stupid, and he did not expose the fact that I had a copper coin hidden in my hand in front of everyone.

After returning to the hotel in the evening, Lao Meng locked the door as soon as possible.

"What are you doing? Aren't you afraid that these three people are not good people? Dare to pull them along? ”

I was idle and bored fiddling with the remote control, "What's the matter with the good guys and the bad guys, the important thing now is that they might be able to help me find my dad." ”

"Then you didn't ask that Teng Chongchong, where did the copper coin in her hand come from?"

"I haven't asked that much, but she is Teng Jianmin's daughter."

Lao Meng seemed to have heard some earth-shattering gossip and grinned, "Ah??? It can't be such a coincidence. ”

"It's such a coincidence."

"Then does she know that you know that his father is Teng Jianmin, and her father also knows that you don't know where your father has gone now."

I was hurt by Lao Meng's brain, and just as I wanted to explain, there was a knock on the door.

After I opened the door, I found that it was Liao Kao, Teng Chongchong, and Sui He with a dignified face.

Teng Chongchong was holding a map, Liao Kao was holding a thick stack of books, and Sui He was holding a few disposable paper cups and a teapot.

Teng Chongchong rushed in first, spread the map on my bed, and said to me very cautiously, "After the unanimous discussion of the three of us, we all feel that you may not be a bad person, so I am willing to take you on a journey to find your father." We invite you and Lao Zhang to join our expedition team. ”

Lao Meng and I looked at each other, I don't know why.

"Lao Zhang, please close the door now, I want to further introduce to you the main content of this operation."

After Lao Meng confirmed it repeatedly, he realized that Teng Chongchong was talking about him, so he weakly explained, "What, my surname is Meng." ”

"It's not important, please close the door." Teng Chongchong politely pointed to the door.

Lao Meng had no choice but to close the door, Teng Chongchong took out the box that was extremely precious to him and put it on the bed, cleared his throat and said, "This first copper coin was exchanged for a hundred yuan in the hands of a grandmother." ”
