Book 1: The Cave of Snow Ridge Chapter 72: The Lost Monument
After confirming that this mysterious person was my father, I temporarily dismissed the decision to rush back to find Yanyu, and chose to stay and wait for my father to come back, because I had too many questions to confront him face to face, and I estimated that he was going to chase Lao Jin, and he should come back soon.
While waiting, I was smoking with the fat man and Uncle Nine, during which Lan Xin came over and asked Uncle Nine further about the specific situation of the mysterious organization personnel back then, so that she could solve the case.
When Lan Xin came over, the first action was to snatch my cigarette away, extinguish it with his foot, and at the same time, say, "I said that you were not allowed to smoke in front of me, but you forgot." Then sit next to Uncle Nine.
Seeing this, the fat man was secretly happy while smoking a cigarette, and then Xiao Jing in front of him shone a flashlight in his hand and called out in a serious voice, "Fat." ”
The fat man immediately obediently extinguished the cigarette, and before extinguishing the cigarette, he took a sharp puff, and this puff went directly for most of the cigarette, almost not the whole cigarette.
I couldn't smoke a cigarette, so the fat man and I simply listened to what questions Lan Xin asked Uncle Jiu.
Lan Xin asked, "Uncle Nine!" Can you tell me more about the details of those mysterious people back then, as well as their appearances? ”
Uncle Nine took a puff of his cigarette and pondered for a moment, "I can't tell you what they look like, but their leader is not Han, it seems to be from the Miao nationality, and according to what we learned back then, his Han surname is Yao, and the Miao surname of his own clan is Ji Ke." ”
Uncle Jiu paused when he said this, took the last puff of his cigarette, and continued, "After Lao Wu killed him back then, the dozen or so people they organized were scattered and ran away, and the rest were all corrected by our army on the spot. ”
"What about the ones who ran away?" Lanxin asked
Uncle Nine shook his head and said, "I don't know, since the end of that mission, Lao Wu was discharged from the army inexplicably, and then I also retired from the army because of something at home." ”
Hearing this, I slapped my thigh and said, "I know ......" When I got to this point, I shut up again, because the last time I tortured the fat man and the fat man to extract a confession, I learned that the people who absconded to the country had already let Yanyu take their lives one by one, if I said it, wouldn't it be a crime of murder in my family.
Lanxin asked, "What do you know?" ”
"I didn't ...... It's nothing! I waved my hand.
Lanxin saw that I was hiding something, so he aggressively asked, "Say, what do you want to say?" It's not your Wu Nian's style. ”
Since I tortured the leader with the fat man last time, the fat man knew what I wanted to say just now, so he didn't interject like Yizhu, just silently looked at Lan Xin and asked me.
In the face of Lan Xin's aggressive questioning, I secretly scolded in my heart, "Grass! I'm so quick with my mouth. But I immediately had an idea and thought of a good pretense, so I said to Lan Xin, "It's better not to ask, otherwise it's you who will be ugly later." ”
Lanxin disagreed, "Come less, what am I ugly?" Come on, do you know the whereabouts of the people who absconded back then? ”
I smiled evilly and said, "I don't know, I just said I know, I know that after I got drunk in the palace that night, the woman I kissed was you, right?" ”
When the fat man heard my words, he transferred so well that he couldn't help but laugh on the spot.
Suddenly, Lan Xin's whole little face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or shy, so he turned his face away and sat obediently and didn't dare to speak.
When Uncle Nine heard what I said, he became inexplicably serious, looked at me and said, "What? What have you done, nephew? You...... You seemed to be speechless for a long time, and then with a "hey", he lit another cigarette and smoked depressedly.
Uncle Nine's sudden action made me and the fat man very puzzled, and I didn't understand why Uncle Nine was like this, but I was so frightened that I didn't dare to ask more.
It was still the fat man's mouth that opened his mouth, "Uncle Nine!" What's wrong with you? ”
"Nothing!" Uncle Nine seemed to be much calmer, and continued to smoke after answering a sentence.
The fat man and I looked at each other in confusion, and both of them were silent thoughtfully.
When I first met Uncle Jiu before, I had always been curious about the relationship between Lan Xin and Uncle Jiu, I was still depressed at the time, a criminal policeman who ate public dinner, and another Taoist priest who seemed to others to be like a magic stick, why was the relationship not ordinary, I didn't think much about this question, but from Uncle Jiu's reaction just now, I felt that it should not be as simple as a friend, but I didn't dare to ask more about what the relationship was.
The people on the side should have heard the conversation we had just had, and all of them fell on me and Lan Xin with very strange eyes, but everyone seemed to feel the awkward atmosphere, and none of them spoke.
And the swallow sitting in front of me looked at me with a kind of grievance, dissatisfaction, and other complicated eyes, and for a while I really had the urge to slap myself, blaming me for this stinky mouth, which can set off waves without covering my mouth.
Xin Xin broke everyone's embarrassing silence, "You bad uncle, you always love to bully girls, no wonder Sister Yanyu will leave you." As he spoke, he said, "Humph! "A sound, and then prepare to leave.
I hurriedly got up to stop Xinxin and said, "Little girl, where are you going?" ”
"I'm going back, find my sister Yanyu, and tell her that you bully other girls." Xin Xin looked at me with a dissatisfied face after speaking.
"My good Xinxin, don't you, Uncle Wang was drunk that day, you give me a chance to mend my ways." I said pitifully, pleadingly.
Xin Xin just said, "Humph! With a sigh, he crossed his hands on his waist and didn't talk to me.
I continued, "If you don't see if this will work, as long as you don't say it, Uncle Wang will promise you a condition, so it's okay." ”
This time Xinxin finally spoke, "I want to go back to see Sister Yanyu, I've been out for so long, Sister Yanyu can't find me, I'll be anxious." ”
I struggled for a moment and said, "Okay, Xinxin, let's wait a minute, Uncle Wang's father may be in danger, Uncle Wang has to wait for him to come back." ”
Xin Xin pouted, "Okay, just for a minute." ”
Soon a minute passed, and my dad was still nowhere to be seen, and then Xinxin clamored to go back.
Uncle Nine saw my worries and gave me a reassuring pill, "Nephew, I think it's okay for us to withdraw first, I know Lao Wu's ability very well, he used to be one of the best in our company, and he is all-round in all aspects, I think it's okay, let's not wait here, it's so cold here." ”
Hearing Uncle Nine say this, I felt that it was indeed cold to the bone, and I saw that Yanzi and Xiao Jing's lips were slightly purple from the cold.
The fat man also came to him, sighed on his hands, rubbed them, and said, "Yes! Let's withdraw the Want Want gift package first, and then go on like this, we will all become ice sculptures before Uncle Wu comes back. ”
After much hesitation, I had no choice but to give up waiting and retreat.
Since there is no signal in this damn place, I edited a piece of content on my mobile phone before leaving: "Old Bean! I'm Nian'er, after seeing this message, please be sure to go to the place where you performed the mission back then to find me, I will wait for you. "Then put the phone in my dad's backpack.
We were all the way through the devastated ice cave road, and since we were still within the range of being under the Five Elements Array, our time-sharing orientation technique could not be used, so I had to lead the way with a vague sense of immediacy when I encountered a fork in the road.
Along the way, I kept wondering if I had been here when I was seven years old, or if I really had some connection to the Demon Warriors, or why I had always known this place and was able to walk the right way every time.
Soon, we came out of the ice cave entrance, and there was a drop of more than one meter between the ice cave and the ground, and everyone jumped off one after another
So he used a flashlight to search around.
The fat man suddenly patted me on the shoulder, "Ngawang! Ngawang! "The emotions were visibly agitated.
I thought the fat man had found something, so I couldn't help but get excited and responded, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
The fat man said, "I also feel that I am so familiar with this place, it can't be that your sense of immediacy has infected me." ”
As the fat man spoke, I accidentally saw a sign carved with a knife on the ground, and when I got closer, it was a gossip map, which was the time-sharing orientation map I had drawn earlier, and it seemed that we had returned to the place where we had been in the ice cave.
When the fat man saw that I didn't pay attention to him, he came up again and said, "Talking to you, do you have long ears and buttocks, or are you dumb?" Why ignore me? ”
"Your fucking ears are on your ass," I replied, shook the wolf-eyed flashlight on the gossip map, and then said, "Fatty, are you blind?" Or did the brain let the donkey kick? Don't you see this picture? ”
When the fat man squatted down to look at the picture, he responded, "I didn't let the donkey kick my brain, but I just hit a giant horse in order to save a certain bastard." ”
The fat man looked at the picture for a long time, but he didn't get up, and muttered to himself, "Huh! What kind of picture is this?,Why didn't I understand it.。 ”
I smiled bitterly and said, "Fat Xu! I can really make you stupid to death, this is what I drew earlier, don't you see it? ”
"It's not! If you look at this picture for yourself, it's obvious that it's just been drawn. "The fat man is serious, and he doesn't mean to joke at all.
After listening, I squatted down next to the fat man and took a look! As the fat man said, on the edge of the time-sharing gossip map I had drawn, there was an abstract pattern carved on an ice wall, which at first glance looked a little like an asymmetrical spider, and I didn't understand what it was, so I told the rest of the people to wait and see.
When no one could see why, the ghost saw a little bit of an eyebrow, and only heard him say, "This is a mark specially used to mark and point directions, called bird catchers." ”
"How do you know?" The fat man asked curiously.
The ghost said, "I used to see several foreign special forces use it when I was studying at the International Hunter School, when we were in a field pursuit exercise of special forces from various countries, I saw this strange mark on a tree, at first I didn't understand what it was for, and then we defeated each other, and I learned from them that this mark is called bird trapping spiders, and they use this special mark to guide their teammates and convey information." ”
As he spoke, the ghost pointed to the birdcatcher and continued, "You see that its feet are of different lengths, and they are all used for different purposes, and this one has the longest foot in the direction of its destination. ”
"Strange! Why is there such a strange mark here? After muttering to himself, the ghost frowned, and said to everyone with a solemn expression, "It seems that it is not only us who have come here, but there should be uninvited guests here." ”
"It doesn't matter if it's a bird spider or a pig hunter, whether it's a bird, let's go quickly." Seeing that this ice cave is not far from the ghost monument, I am about to see the smoke and rain, so I don't care about who did this "bird catcher" mark.
Lan Xin saw that I was so anxious, I didn't know which vinegar to eat, and said with an unhappy face, "No one is robbing you, are you so anxious?" ”
In addition to Lan Xin, the emotion is not right, there is also the swallow, but the swallow just looks at me in obscurity with a look that I can't tell, as if I am about to lose something.
I was somewhat overwhelmed by the reactions of these two women
Although he wanted to put on his wings and fly to Yanyu's side, he couldn't move his steps, so he could only be stupidly stunned in place, asking everyone for help with his eyes.
But this kind of complicated affairs of children's affection, try to ask who is in charge of it, so everyone just jumps their eyes around one by one, showing an attitude that out of sight is pure.
"That's it! Let's go! Let's go! Anyway, it's uncomfortable to stay in this hellish place for a long time. "It was Uncle Nine's words that broke everyone's silence and my embarrassment.
After everyone came out of the ice cave, I hurried in the direction where I had discovered the monument before, and my eyes never left the direction of the monument.
But the strange thing is that after walking for a while, there is still no trace of the monument, strange! I remember that the monument was obviously on the cliff face a hundred meters in front of me, how did it disappear out of thin air?
Judging from the time we entered the secret room and it is now noon, it has only been a day and a half to enter, and the time is so short, the Great Luo Immortal can't move it in its entirety, even if it is moved, it has to leave some traces.
But I saw that the cliff in front of me was empty, and I didn't see a single ghost, and everyone was also confused by this scene, scratching their ears and cheeks, not knowing why.
I called Xinxin to my side and asked anxiously, "Xinxin, where is the monument, why is it missing?" Did Uncle Rong hide it? ”
Xin Xin shook her head and said, "No! ”
"You didn't lie to me?" I'm skeptical.
"Hmmm! Lie to you is a puppy. Xinxin nodded vigorously, indicating that she was not lying.
When I heard this, I thought to myself, what is this? Aren't you just a dog demon, and there is no strength at all in this guarantee, but I still choose to believe Xinxin, so I asked, "Isn't it difficult?" ”
"Hmmm! ......" Xin Xin was about to say why, but suddenly stopped, her eyes rolled, as if she had a ghost idea, and then changed her words and said, "Guess! ”
I was stunned and thought to myself, what's the situation? Why does this little ghost always talk to me, Xinxin saw that I was stunned and didn't reply to her, so she said, "Anyway, Grandpa Rong said that you are very smart, uncle, then I think you should be able to, you just think about it slowly." After speaking, he looked proud.
Seeing Xinxin's meaning, it's obvious that she doesn't plan to tell me, and I really have to study it myself, so may! I still don't believe in evil, can't I solve this mystery with my Wu Nian and my mother? I was already observing the situation of this ice cliff at the same time as I secretly said in my heart.
However, there is nothing special about it, and the whole cliff is very similar, and it is difficult to see the location of the previous ghost monuments.
Helpless! I walked back and forth twice the same way we first discovered the ghostly monument, and my eyes never left the cliff, but there was no trace of the monument.
The fat man was anxious, and ran to Xinxin's side to ask where the monuments went, but in exchange for only Xinxin's grimace.
And just as I was about to walk the road I had just walked again, Lanxin suddenly shouted, "Someone, hidden!" She spoke in a serious tone, as if she had seen something, and the others were hiding behind a rock as fast as they could.
Seeing this, I didn't want to think about it, so I immediately lay down on the snow, and then crawled forward and crawled to the side of everyone.
"What's wrong?" I asked Lan Xin.
Lan Xin pointed to the front of the rock while concealing and said, "Don't you see that there is a sneaky person?" ”
Since my attention just now was on the ghost monuments, I really ignored it, but after Lan Xin's reminder, let alone it, I really saw a person squatting a hundred meters away, sneakily I didn't know what I was doing, and I looked around from time to time.
The fat man secretly poked his head out of the rock, glanced at it, and said, "Who is that man, and where is the girl?" Sneaky. ”
"Look at his sneaky appearance, you know that you are either a traitor or a thief." The ghost glanced at him and then spoke, then whistled at me and the fat man with a plan, and said, "Let's sneak over and hold him down and torture him." ”
"Alas! Wait a minute. The fat man said and grabbed the ghost who was about to leave, "Lao Wang, isn't your arm injured, rest first, I'll go with Ah Wang." With that, he grabbed me and sneaked over from the side.
When he approached, the mysterious fat man whistled behind him with a flirtatious attitude: "Hey! Nabs! Busy? ”
Because the man was defenseless, he was frightened by the fat man, and immediately turned around and sat on the ground, only to see that the man was about thirty years old, with a vicious face, as the so-called phase was born from the heart, and he knew that he was not a good person when he saw the man.
Just as he turned around, I saw a tattoo on the tiger's mouth on his palm, this tattoo was the special tattoo of the mysterious organization, I recognized it at a glance, and immediately said to the fat man, "Hold him down, he has that tattoo on his hand." ”
When the fat man heard me say this, he took a look at it, and at this moment the man got up and was about to run away, but the fat man directly pushed him with one hand and pushed him to sit on the snow.
"What! Just want to slip away? The fat man said and pressed the man with his hand, adding, "Let me sit honestly." ”
After the fat man subdued the man, I stepped forward and asked, "Say!" Who are you, what were you doing sneaking around? ”
The man didn't answer my question, but took out a dagger from a pocket on his thigh and stabbed it at the fat man without saying a word.
Seeing this, my pupils dilated, and I immediately swept away the dagger in his hand with a low whip leg, and when the man's dagger just fell, the fat man directly punched his nosebleed, and then easily locked the man's wrist with one hand.
The man screamed in pain and struggled desperately, but he never thought that the fat man's strength was completely beyond his imagination, so no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free from the fat man's hands.
"You move again, believe it or not, fat man, I will break your wrist as soon as I exert myself? If you don't believe me, you can try. The fat man pressed lightly again, and the man was so painful that tears flowed down his eyes, and he didn't dare to struggle any more meaninglessly, but looked at me and the fat man with angry eyes.
