Chapter 49: The Dragon's Lair
We were full of wit in our conversation, but we were like mirrors in each other's hearts, and Kenjiro Fujino had already begun to doubt me, so he deliberately told me that story just to warn me that it was best not to have any strange thoughts.
But where would Uncle Sima be intimidated by him in a few words, so he ridiculed each other, and the duty of these little Japan is a group of white-eyed wolves that can't be raised.
Kenjiro Fujino is proficient in Chinese, and he must have understood what I said, and the blame is that the owner of that house is too kind-hearted and didn't see the neighbor's ulterior motives in time, he himself is too stupid, and it is impossible for such a stupid person to keep the family's wealth, how can he blame others for stealing?
I said, oh, according to you, that neighbor did the right thing, right? Kenjiro Fujino said, "Sima Sang, this world is originally a society where people eat people, people and people, countries and countries, all like this, instead of crying dad and calling mother after being bullied, hugging other people's thighs and begging, it is better to be strong from the beginning, so that others can't bully you, do you think it's right?" ”
I smiled and nodded, "What you say makes sense, it's the truth!" ”
Smoke rose from the campfire, and the fire burned until dawn, but the expected help did not arrive, and Kenjiro Fujino and I couldn't help but feel a little panicked. I don't care about the lives or deaths of those Japanese, but Ge Zhuang is my brother in life and death, and he disappeared with the team, which makes me particularly worried.
Presumably Fujino Kenjiro is the same, we have our own hearts, but this is not a good time to turn around, after a few circles around the fire anxiously, Fujino Kenjiro proposed, "Sima San, we can't continue to sit still like this, first look around, first meet people, do you think it's good?" ”
I also felt that this was reasonable, so I stood up and snuffed out the fire, and said let's go, look again, such a large number of people could not disappear without warning, and there will definitely be some clues.
Now that the sky was dark, and the warm sun was shining overhead, it had dispelled some of the cold that had enveloped me, and we decided to go together to find the people, preferably to meet as soon as possible, and then discuss the next steps.
Following the direction in which we had been chased and fled in disarray last night, we were back at the campsite, and there was still a dead silence all around, and most of the equipment was left here, untouched.
I found a shovel in my bag, and when I saw Kenjiro Fujino put away a couple of pistols, tied them in a pocket*, and straddled them on his back, I walked up to him and said, "Can you give me a gun too?" ”
Kenjiro Fujino looked at me and said will you use it? I said I wasn't proficient, but my friend taught me something about firearms and I should be able to use them.
I will open my mouth to make such a request, but also to test the other party's mind, last night Fujino Kenjiro was obviously suspicious of me, as for whether he regarded me as a "traitor" in his heart, I have no way of knowing, the reason for robbing is to ensure his own safety, if he refuses to give it to me, it means that this kid has completely defended me, I have to think about doing it early.
Anyway, Longxingling is already very close, and the guide Axi also showed me the way, even if I don't rely on the map in Fujino Taka's hand, I am still confident that I can find the location.
His eyes flickered a few times, and he hesitated not to hand over the pistol to me, and my brows furrowed, saying What are you doing in a daze, you have so many guns in your hands, can you use them yourself?
As I spoke, my other hand was already lightly touching the extended lever of the shovel.
In the end, he smiled and handed me the gun, saying Okay, if there is a person with a gun by your side, you can also get greater protection, Sima Sang, I hope your gun will not be aimed at me in the end.
He handed over the pistol, and I immediately took it, put it in my hand, and said how could it be, but in my heart I was thinking about whether to shoot him now.
But after thinking about it, I finally decided not to rush into action until I found the main force. If the Japanese had been in a similar situation to us, they might have been looking for us all over the world, and shooting them now would reveal their location, and if the Japanese found out that I had killed Kenjiro Fujino, they would have ended up in a fire fight.
Obviously, Ge Zhuang and I are not opponents of such a large group of people.
Getting the pistol, I pinned it to the leash and continued to search for it along the snow, to my surprise, the guide's body was gone, and I don't know if it was taken by a passing beast, in short, this ghost place is full of weirdness, it is better to be careful.
After not being able to find him for a long time, Kenjiro Fujino suddenly shouted at me and told me to hurry up to him.
I hurried to him and asked what was wrong? He raised his hand excitedly, pointed to the messy footprints on the ground, and said that we missed it last night, you see this place, so many footprints, it means that they collectively left in this direction.
I squatted down and took a closer look, only to find an obviously thicker footprint in a pile of footprints, no need to ask, this footprint must have been left by Ge Zhuang, this dead fat man's feet are nearly 45 yards, only his footprints can be so big.
I stood up and patted the snow off my hands and said let's go, follow the footprints and you should be able to find them.
After that, the two of us followed the clues left by the team, all the way through the dense jungle, standing on the ridge, looking at the dense jungle and slab rocks at our feet, our eyes glanced from the green forest, a silver line passed by, and a shallow stream appeared in front of us, and the footprints kept moving in the direction of the stream, presumably from here they escaped.
Kenjiro Fujino saw that I was staring at the stream for a long time and didn't speak, so he asked curiously, "Sima San, what are you thinking?" "I said no, the direction they are heading in is Longxingling, will it be after escaping, they have decided not to care about us anymore and set off on their own.
I don't know how much Fujino Takashi values his son, but Ge Zhuang has a lifelong friendship with me, and will never go looking for ruins without confirming whether I am safe, I am very worried about him now, he faces so many Japanese alone, can this dead fat man turn around? Or has the relationship been broken and taken away by the Japanese?
Kenjiro Fujino naturally couldn't guess what was going on in my heart, and just urged me to stop talking nonsense and hurry up to follow their footprints.
After walking for about two hours, the footsteps became thinner and thinner, and we had come to the foot of a huge mountain peak, in front of us was an open canyon, the canyon was covered with dense trees, covered by snow, a dark green dotted with white clouds, standing in this place, I suddenly felt that the air was no longer so dry, even the cold wind was much smaller, and I couldn't help but stop and look at Feng Shui.
The lengthy canyon ditch is like a sleeping sleeping dragon, the rock cracks of the four walls are protruding, there is a stream irrigation, the dragon is alive when it meets the water, it is nourished by the mountain spring, there is a tendency to raise its head faintly, the star peak is falling, the Mingshan Palace, the ditch and the ravine are like a dragon walking and the snake walks, the ridge is wide and thick, it can carry the luck, the topography of the canyon ditch here is called "the dragon's nest" in feng shui, and it is very likely to hide the big tomb.
