The coffin carrying four people simply couldn't support the four people in its body and kept shaking back and forth, causing an imbalance. The end result was that after it had exhausted its last strength, the four of them finally fell into the water.

The four of them, who were completely immersed in joy, soon realized the true meaning of happiness and sorrow......

Fortunately, the place where the four of them fell into the water was not too far from the shore, and soon they took the coffin and went to the shore.

Chu Tianlu looked left and right, and found that the position they were at the moment had reached the bottom of the mountain, close to the sea. In his estimation, it must have been a long way from the place where they had entered the tomb, and there was no need to go back. After all, everyone tossed all night, and there was no water in the water, and there was not so much physical strength to consume anymore.

After discussion, it was decided to go back to the village directly.

When I came to the foot of the mountain where the donkey cart was parked, the sun had already risen in the east!! The light of the Dao Dao seems to have clothed the earth with a layer of golden clothes, which is very beautiful.

The woodcutter who got up early looked at the four people driving the donkey cart, and there was a faint surprise in his eyes!! sighed that someone got up earlier than him. As everyone knows, how the four people he saw experienced a thrilling night before they escaped from nine deaths.

…………

On the third day of breaking up with Qiu Yu, Chu Tianlu and Loach returned to the small building of the second uncle in Changsha. On the train, the mute turtle said that he had gotten off the train halfway in advance and did not leave contact information. When Loach asked him when he was going to Changsha to meet, he smiled and said, "Do you have to go to Changsha to meet!" ”

The loach didn't care about what the dumb turtle said at that time, but Chu Tianlu heard a little bit of an off-string sound from his words.

When Chu Tianlu and Loach walked out of the exit of the train station, the plague god Lu Lao Liu, the blind Xu San and the iron snake were already waiting at the exit with a group of black-clothed men and a long line of convoys!!

Their formation stunned the travelers who didn't know what was going on, and they thought that some big man was coming, and they looked back vigorously, hoping to see the leaders of those dragons who could not see the end.

Some people whispered as they walked, "Hey!! Do you know who came to Changsha? Such a big battle? ”

"Who else could it be? It must be someone from Beijing!! Let's hurry up, don't delay our transfer time due to martial law. ”

The expressions on the faces of the passengers who left the station for a while were different, but judging from the expressions of each person, they were all envious from their hearts to be able to be picked up in such a standard of welcome way!!

I saw how excited my relatives were, just like a child who had lost his mother suddenly saw his mother appear in front of him. He started running towards them from a distance.

Chu Tianlu didn't know them for a long time, although he also had the joy of reuniting after a long absence, he still restrained himself.

And the loach that rushed forward with a lot of blood in his arms did not get the effect he expected!! Two of the three leading people directly ignored his existence, and the other was still pulled by him. "Monkey, I'll tell you ......"

"Big nephew, hard work, hard work!! Let's take a walk, the restaurant that Uncle Sixth has already set will pick up the wind for you. Let......'s go, "The plague god Lao Liu and the blind man Xu San were sincerely happy to see Chu Tianlu return safely.

Everything was carried out according to the arrangement of the plague god, and by the time Chu Tianlu arrived at the second uncle's small building, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening.

Because of the relationship between the plague gods, almost all of the helmsmen who came to catch the wind were drunk, and in the end, only the loach and the iron snake and the blind Xu San followed back to the small building.

The loach was also happy to see everyone, and he didn't know anything at the moment.

After the iron snake got the loaches away, Chu Tianlu and Xu San came to the coffee table on the sofa in the hall and sat down.

"Third Uncle Xu, why do I think the atmosphere here is a little different? Is something wrong? "In fact, Chu Tianlu noticed that something was wrong from the moment he saw them on the platform. Because during the more than half a month he spent in Changsha before, the situation was tense for a few days, but it was not as serious as today.

"Ahem...... I won't say this beforehand, but let's talk about you for a while!! The blind Xu San was still so calm, and he didn't tell Chu Tianlu what was going on here just because Chu Tianlu opened his mouth.

But the more this happened, the more Chu Tianlu felt that something must have happened.

Chu Tianlu said the matter in general, but when it came to Yang Bingyan, the guilt in his words was self-evident!! Although Yang Bingyan's experience is much higher than his own, Chu Tianlu always feels that the people who went out together have not been able to come back together, and he still has to take part of the responsibility.

"Big nephew, it's good to be back!! Yang Bingyan is an old thing...... Oh...... The deceased is the greatest, although he doesn't look down on those who do our job, but after all, he is an authoritative figure in the country, which we can understand.

He didn't enjoy the blessings, and went all the way to the south, although it was to repay the favor, but this time it had something to do with us, and in the future, we will make up for it to his family!!

Eldest nephew, don't take it to heart, what you do is tougher than anyone's life. No one else can complain about anyone!! The blind man Xu San heard the sadness in Chu Tianlu's heart, and enlightened him vigorously.

"I know that!! Ay...... Uncle Xu, how did you know that I came back with the loach? Is it the loach's letter to you? When Chu Tianlu was at the station, he wondered why Changsha would know that he was back, if it was a letter from Loach, he had no reason not to tell him.

"Whew!! He told me about the letter from his distant nephew, asking us to wait for you at the station today. ”

Only then did Chu Tianlu understand, and thought: "This dumb turtle is quite fine-minded, I can't see that he can't beat two farts with a stick, and he can still worry about this matter, it's really difficult for him!! ”

After the two chatted for a while, the blind Xu San got up and said, "Big nephew, you should be tired too, rest early, and when you are rested, we will come back tomorrow." After speaking, Xu San waved his hand at Chu Tianlu, who was about to get up to send it, signaling him not to send it. Then he left the small building.

After the blind Xu San left, the whole room became quiet again. Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar environment in front of him, Chu Tianlu had mixed feelings in his heart.

Chu Tianlu came to the long table and poured a glass of boiled water, and when he turned around, he happened to see the room with murals. Chu Tianlu was stunned for a moment, shook his head, turned around and returned to his bedroom, took off his coat and lay down.

Chu Tianlu was also really tired, the tossing and turning that night plus the long-distance train he took in the past two days, if he wasn't young and had good physical fitness, it is estimated that he would have been tired long ago.

Chu Tianlu, who went to bed, felt comfortable all over his body, just like the release he had received from the fatigue of the past few days. The whole person was immersed in the bliss of complete relaxation.

Although Chu Tianlu was comfortable lying down, he didn't fall asleep all at once. He closed his eyes, and his mind couldn't help but think of the previous day in the tomb.

Chu Tianlu didn't know what kind of state others were in after going down to the tomb, anyway, since he got off the altar of the tomb, whenever he had free time in his mind, he would remember what he had experienced there.

This made him quite puzzled and helpless. If this experience had followed him, it would have been like a nightmare, and he couldn't shake it off.

Thinking about it, Chu Tianlu suddenly remembered what Hu Hai had said to him before inviting God at that time. Because the situation was urgent at that time, he also passed by! If I hadn't remembered it today, maybe in a few days, I would have forgotten about it completely.

Chu Tianlu remembered very clearly, at that time Hu Hai said: "When you go out, open your compass and know the way." ”

"Is there some secret hidden in this compass?" Thinking of this, Chu Tianlu pouted and got up. He quickly took out the compass from his inner pocket and looked at it carefully.

To tell the truth, this compass is in Chu Tianlu's hands, and he treats it like a baby! I didn't take it out secretly and enjoy it alone. It stands to reason that he had looked at every inch of the compass many times, and found no damage or cracks.

Chu Tianlu analyzed, if there was really something hidden inside, then the strangeness must also be under the pointer of the compass.

If it's empty, there's enough room to hide something small.

But this is also Chu Tianlu's guess, if he is allowed to blindly open the compass, he Chu Tianlu will be reluctant. If this is broken, who will cry out?

After Chu Tianlu gave up the idea of opening the compass, he remembered the ink fountain that the loach brought out of the tomb.

Speaking of this ink fountain, it was still stuffed by the loach to himself. What do you say that other people come back from the bucket are all treasures, and he came back from the bucket to get a carpenter guy back. If it's old, it's fine, but judging from the quality of the ink fountain, it won't be more than three or five years old. The loach is ashamed to come back, so I don't want it.

And when Chu Tianlu was in the tomb, he knew that the second uncle had hidden something in this ink fountain. It was just snatched by the loach, and the situation was critical at the time, so he didn't have time to check it at all, and when he came out, the loach gave it to him again. Chu Tianlu had no choice but to pretend to be embarrassed and accepted the ink fountain.

Chu Tianlu thought of this, and the little sleepiness that had just arisen disappeared suddenly. He went to the living room, took the ink fountain out of his bag, and examined it carefully.

I don't know if you've ever seen an ink fountain? It has a deep circular groove at the front of it, in which a sponge is placed, which used to hold moisturizing items such as cotton, and two symmetrical holes are made in the middle of the round groove for the string to pass through. (The string that passes through it should pass under the sponge or cotton that was placed in the original trough.) Then pour some ink over the sponge inside the trough.

Connected to the groove is a special piece of wood, which is consolidated at one end and a reel wheel at the other. The end of the rope at the other end of the string that had previously passed through the round groove was tied to the reel wheel. When the carpenter wants to use it, he only needs to pull out the string from the small hole in the round groove in front of the ink fountain and put it in the straight position to be played, and when the string is straightened, the rope is already covered with ink. Just gently pull up the string and let go, and a straight black line will appear in the desired position.

When not in use, just use the reel to retract the string.

At this glance, he discovered the clue at once.

The ink fountain is not very big, and there are only two places to hide things, either in the deep groove in front of it, or in the middle of the reel.

Chu Tianlu looked at the thickness of the scroll, and he shouldn't be able to hide anything, so he hit the idea into the deep groove in front of him.
