14. There is a problem with the water
Baird: "Earlier, my father and I went to a small town in the border to deliver goods, and when I passed by these two places, I always felt that the terrain of these two places was very complicated, and it was a good way to hide tens of thousands of people, otherwise others would find out. β
Li Hao: "Where are these two places?" How far is it from here? β
Baird: "The nearest place is two days away, and the other is eight days away. β
Jarvis: "Is there any other place on the way?" We can't focus on both. Jarvis still used his careful mind to analyze every detail.
Baird: "I didn't think of it yet. β
Li Hao: "Actually, there is another place we haven't thought of?" β
"What is it?"
Li Hao: "When the thieves are going to rob this batch of goods, those five people must know, they will definitely react, as long as we pay attention to their every move at any time, we can find out when the other party moves." β
Jarvis: "Well, that's the most important thing. β
YΓ‘rvis: "Now that we've thought about this hypothesis, let's think about other possibilities?" β
Next, they were discussing the other identities of the two men. Li Hao sat next to him and listened, never saying a good word, thinking in his heart: You discuss slowly, I won't accompany you to guess.
β»β»β»
At noon, while the others were cooking, Li Hao quietly pulled Ai Dan to the back of a small forest.
"What are you pulling me here for, didn't you say yesterday that you have nothing to do with me?" Aidan spoke angrily, his face full of anger.
"I'm sorry, I may have spoken a little heavier yesterday." Li Hao humbly admitted his mistake to Aidan.
When Aidan heard this, she was amazed, she didn't expect him to apologize at all, and stared at him with big eyes.
"Except to say sorry. I'd like to tell you something, can you go back to Stephen's house first? Li Hao knew that the road ahead was dangerous, and he didn't want her to take risks. So persuade her to leave.
Li Hao was thinking about everything for her sake, but she didn't know it. He also looked at him with resentment.
"After talking for a long time, you just want me to go, don't you? I'm leaving, are you comfortable, hehe, let me tell you, don't think about it, if I want to go, I'll go. If you want to stay, you will stay, and you don't need to dictate. β
Li Hao was very wronged in his heart, he didn't expect her to think like this, seeing that she had wronged himself so much, he wanted to say everything, but he thought that if he let her know, with her strong character, it would be difficult to ensure that she would not intervene.
At last. Li Hao still didn't give up: "I advise you to go back, it's for your own good, maybe something will really happen this time." If something happens to you, how can I explain it to the Stephens? β
"You don't have to worry about it, I'm responsible for my own business, I don't need you, okay, I don't want to see you now, you go away, I'm going back."
said. pushed away Li Hao in front of him, and used a lot of force. It was done on purpose, so as to vent the resentment in his heart.
Look at her back as she pushes away her departure. I shook my head and sighed: "Hey, this eldest lady's temper is really weird, calling her back, it's nothing, what kind of temper?" I don't understand. β
After returning to the group, Aidan was seen sitting in the car, holding a pre-prepared flatbread and eating it. The corners of his eyes are still slightly aimed at himself.
"Li Hao, come over for dinner, where did you just go?" Mike waved his hand and shouted Li Hao.
The afternoon journey was still so uneventful, Li Hao and the others took turns to monitor the five people, but they still didn't find any abnormal behavior.
"Sell sweet seeds, sell sweet seeds......" At this time, a woman on the side of the road shouted for sale.
Li Haoshun looked at it, not because he wanted to eat this sweet seed, but because he felt that this voice was too familiar, and this voice was exactly the same as Madeleine's voice. β¦
Sure enough, it was her, Li Hao recognized her at a glance, although she was now wearing a very ordinary dress and a straw hat, but her figure and stiffness, Li Hao remembered it clearly.
I saw her shouting to sell sweet seeds, but her eyes were always fixed on the direction of the five people.
Then one of the five, thinking of her, leaned over to her, and said, "Bring me some." β
"What a woe!" The answer was very natural, and the technique was also very fast, I saw that she quickly put a few sweet seeds in a pocket and handed them to him with both hands.
After the man took the sweet seed, he took a few copper coins from his pocket and handed them to her, and as she took the money, the man threw a note from his sleeve and placed it in her hand along with the copper coins.
They did it very carefully, but they still didn't escape the eyes of Li Hao, who had been observing them.
"What did you find?" Jarvis next to him suddenly said to Li Hao. He also discovered this scene just now, and when he saw Li Hao's eyes met, he asked.
"Well, they're in a group." Li Hao nodded and replied, and put forward his own opinion.
"Do you want to prepare something? Can't we just look at it? There is still something to be done to prevent it first. Jarvis looked at the man who had returned from buying sweet seeds.
"Then if you have any opinions, put them forward first." Seeing him say this, Li Hao judged that he already had a plan in mind, so he waited to put it forward.
"Hehe, that's what I thought, at night, we sneaked into their tent to see if we could find some clues."
"It's possible, but you have to print them out first."
"It's easy to do, I've thought about it."
"What's the solution?"
"Hehe, the secret, you'll know it then."
"Cut, don't say pull, I won't cut it yet."
β»β»β»
In the evening, the convoy camped next to a small stream, opposite a bamboo forest and behind a mountain range. When the last light of the setting sun hit the camp, Li Hao stood at the gate of the camp and looked into the distance.
"Where are those two going? It's been so long and I haven't come back. β
It turned out that when he had just set up camp, Mike and Jarvis quietly ran to him and said, "We're going out to sell some equipment, and you're in charge of keeping an eye on them."
They had been gone for an hour or two, so Li Hao came out and looked in the direction they were going.
"Where the hell did they go, and they were so mysterious when they left." Baird walked over and babbled.
At this time, two figures in the distance quickly approached this side. It was Mike and YΓ‘rvis who both.
"We're back." Before Mike arrived, the voice came back.
"Can you come back? I thought you had fallen into a dung pit. Li Hao joked.
"Haha, even if you have to fall into it. I'm going to pull you on too. Mike laughed.
"By the way, what are you going to buy? It's so mysterious. β
"Look." Mike pulled a small bag of things out of his clothes. When I opened it, it was white powder.
"You're so sinister, huh?" Baird recognized the powder and smirked.
Li Hao didn't know what this was, he buckled his head and said, "What the hell is this?" How I don't know. β
"It's a laxative." Jarvis replied.
"Hehe, you're too bad, let the five of them eat this." Li Hao said with a smile.
At this time, Yalvis looked at him with strange eyes. With a bad smile, he said, "Hehe, you're wrong, if you only let those five people eat, they must have doubts." β
"What are you going to do?" Li Hao had a bad premonition, he took a few steps back and looked at him fearfully.
"You're going to make us eat this stuff all?" Baird looked at him suspiciously.
"Wrong, not all, except for me and Mike." β¦
"Why?" Li Hao, Baird.
"Because Mike and I are in charge of keeping their salutes in place, it's a daunting task." When talking. He looked righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he was going to do something amazing.
"Against." Li Hao and Baird immediately retorted: "Why the two of you? Who decides? β
"We just decided." Mike smirked.
"Who do you think you are? Ming told you, I don't agree. This is something that everyone needs to sit down and discuss together. Baird, who had always been mild-mannered, now also said angrily.
"That's it, go, go back, get everyone together." Without giving them a chance to say more, Li Hao pulled Baird and walked inside.
When they returned to their tent, there was a heated discussion, and no one wanted to take the laxative.
"Okay, let's not talk about it. Lottery decision, if you don't get a red lot, you will obediently go to the cafeteria to eat. Jarvis stood up and shouted.
"Good. That's it. β
In the end, after the draw, it was Li Hao and Baird who didn't have to go to dinner.
Mike angrily yelled at Jarvis and said, "You don't have such a bad idea. Rush what? β
Yalvis smiled bitterly: "I don't want to either!" β
Maas: "Can we pretend to eat a little bit and then pretend to have diarrhea?" β
Jarvis: "Let's not do it, let people find out, our plans may be in vain." β
At night, the transport team was stationed, and everyone was queuing up to eat. The transport team prepares its own meals at noon, and the chefs in the team cook it in the evening.
"Wait, I'm going to make it convenient." As they ate, the first person in the team with diarrhea appeared, followed by the second "I'm going too." Then the third, and then the fourth......
For a moment, "What's going on today?" Why is everyone having diarrhea? Darcy, who was crouching in the grass, asked Jarvis, who was still crouching next to him.
Jarvis was bitter in his heart, how could he not know the reason, or he personally put the bag of laxatives in the dish.
"Captain, I don't know, I guess there might be a problem with the water?" Jarvis said this deliberately in order to distract someone from deliberately ordering the drug.
"Possibly, it seems that this water will not be usable in the future." Darcy Road.
Jarvis was so proud that he finally diverted the reason to other aspects.
β»β»β»
On the side of the tent, Li Hao and Maas had quietly slipped into the tent where those people lived.
"Li Hao, I didn't find anything, what about you?" Mas walked out of a tent and saw Li Hao also coming out of another tent, and stepped forward to ask.
"Neither do I, do they put important things on them?" Li Hao thought back to the five people's every move to see if there was anything suspicious there.
"That's right, Pocket." Li Hao suddenly thought of the sweet seed pocket that the man and Madeleine called in the afternoon. Quickly came to the man's tent and searched for the pocket.
Found it, and finally found the pocket in a corner, only it has now turned into a pile of "corpses". Li Hao looked at the pocket that had become fragments, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's take it back and talk about it." β
Return to your tent. The rest haven't come back yet, and maybe they're still pulling their stomachs. "Kairui, can you bring these things back to their original places?" Li Hao asked, holding the fragment. When he returned. Several words from this world were found on the fragments.
"Let me see." Maas took the shard and placed it on the bed. Little by little, pick it up and observe. He frowned and said, "These fragments, I found that they are not very complete, at least half of them, and it is difficult to get them back to their original place." β
Li Hao thought for a while and said, "How much can I get back to the original, just try my best, I found that there are some words on it." This may be their purpose. ββ¦
Maas replied, "Okay, I'll try." After saying that, he concentrated on putting the pieces on the bed one by one.
"Ouch, it's been a long time since I've been this cool." At this moment, Mike's voice came from outside the tent.
"That's it, that's it, after pulling it, I'm refreshed, and all the garbage on my body has been swept away." Jarvis cooperated very well outside. It felt like the two of them had just gone there to enjoy their happiness.
"Yo, you're back? How do you find out what you don't have? "After Mike came in. found Li Hao standing inside, so he asked.
"It's a bit eyebrow-raising, but it's not clear. Kai Rui is returning to some fragments, there are some words on them, I wonder if it helps? Li Hao replied seriously about the results.
"Fragments? I'll take a look. When Jarvis heard the debris, he immediately became interested, trotted behind Maas, and looked at the shards he was wearing. I picked up a small piece casually, looked at it in front of me, and said, "Well, there are words." These pieces were taken by the woman who sold the sweet seeds, right? β
Li Hao nodded and said, "It's just that these fragments are incomplete." And some of them don't know where they left them. β
Jarvis said, "We shouldn't be able to find it, it seems." They are very careful in what they do. β
"What shards? I'm here to get it, see if I get it back. Mike walked over and wanted to do it. Li Hao immediately signed to stop him, and said: "Okay, you don't need to go, just let Kairui do it alone, there are too many people, but it is a bad thing." β
"Alright." At this moment, Maas stood up, stretched, and addressed them.
Jarvis stood the closest, and when he heard what he had done, he immediately walked up, looked at it, and said with a stern expression, "We may have really met a thief." β
Everyone was shocked and stared at Jarvis.
"There's a place name written on it," said Jarves, "a place that Baird is talking about, the Terre Mountains. β
"What then? We, Mashan, informed Captain Darcy and told him to prepare in advance. After hearing this, Baird was the first to express his opinion, he thought that the matter was too big for his own people to handle.
After hearing this, several other people all nodded their heads and said that they would do so, only Li Hao and Jarvis had other ideas in their hearts.
Li Hao thought in his heart: "Tell Captain Darcy about this matter, then this matter will be easily dealt with, and then he may not get any benefits in the middle." After thinking about it for a while, he looked up at Sri.
"Sri, why are you here?"
Si Rui stepped forward, glared angrily ahead, and shouted, "I want my family to live a rich life, and I want to let those nobles who look down on me no longer look down on me." β
Li Hao nodded and said to Abt, "Abt, why are you here?" β
Abt looked at Sri and said, "Same as him." β
Li Hao: "You, you, and your ......" Li Hao asked one by one the people in the tent.
"Same." "Me too" "Hmm"......
Li Hao saw that they all expressed the same desire and the same desire to succeed. He strode forward again and said in a louder voice: "Since you want to succeed, now there is an opportunity in front of you, do you want to do it?" β
"Yes." The crowd yelled. It was their dream, their pursuit, and for it, they came here, and now they are horrified and excited to hear that there is an opportunity.
"Then now I'm going to say yes, let's just let us fight against the whole thief for our own dreams, and we have to be heroes."
As soon as Li Hao finished speaking, everyone calmed down, just a few people to deal with a thief group, this is impossible, they are all thinking about whether to go or not.
"I'm going." Come over, Jarvis stood up and said in a sworn tone. "I'll go too." Sri was the second to speak. Looking at the statement that Jarvis and Sri were not afraid of death in front of them, the others also had the courage to go and said that they were going too. β¦
"Since everyone is willing to go, but I don't know if we will succeed this time, and I don't know if we will have any lives in the future? I would like to make an observation. Mike said.
"Say." Li Hao.
"We are brothers. Born and died together, and if anyone survives, he will take care of the rest of his dead parents. β
"Okay."
"Good"
"Good"
β¦β¦
Late at night. Li Hao and the rest of the people from Mick Academy walked out of the camp and walked along the river. Come to the top of a large rock.
Li Hao walked in front and turned around and said, "Just this place, right?" β
In fact, Li Hao still wants to find a place full of flowers and learn from Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan. But after walking for a long distance, there are no flowers to see, and I found this big rock by the river, which is very flat, and I feel that it is also very proud to stand on it and swear.
Jarvis replied, "Yes. The place is nice. β
The rest of the people nodded and said yes.
"Come up, it's up there." Li Hao jumped and stood on top of the big rock, leaned over and shouted to the people below.
"Okay."
One by one, they jumped up and stood on it and watched from afar.
"You can still see our camp." After Baird jumped up, he looked back and said excitedly.
"Everyone stand, let's swear to heaven together." Yalves said.
Then, they lined up, facing the river, with their heads facing the sky. Hold your hand over your heart. Jarvis spoke first: "Today, I'm Jarvis"
"I, Li Hao."
"Me. Mike. β
"I, Abt."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Me, Maas."
Everyone: "Today, the eight of us worship as brothers in life and death, regardless of size, in the future, we will treat each other with all sincerity, and never give up. No man shall be made for eternity. β
The ritual of swearing is very simple, and he swears a poisonous oath to the sky. That's it.
"Well, now that we're brothers. In the future, we will share blessings and difficulties. Li Hao said.
"I propose that each of us write a wish on a piece of paper and bury it under this rock, and whoever is not there will come here, read the wish on it, and later help him fulfill the wish that he has not fulfilled." Yaheng said on a whim.
"It's a good proposal, I'm going to approve it with both hands." Abt said. Everyone nodded.
Then, they each wrote their wishes.
Li Hao held the pen, but didn't know what to write? What's more, he doesn't know how to write this world. I turned my head to look at them, and saw that they were all frowning and focused.
Quietly moved to Mike's side, moved him with his arm, and said, "Can you help me write a few words?" β
Mike was surprised: "You can't write? β
Li Hao smiled bitterly: "Isn't that the family poor?" β
"Okay, I'll write it for you."
"Thank you."
After taking Li Hao's paper, he asked, "What is written on it?" β
Li Hao thought about it, what do you hope for most now? The Martin family, the current enemy is the Martin family, but if they are allowed to deal with the Martin family in the future, it may be very dangerous, but apart from this, he has no desire now. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's write these, write: find a woman named Martini and slap her in the face three times." β
After hearing this, Mike raised his head suspiciously, and said, "What does this woman have to do with you?" You're going to slap her. "There was curiosity in my eyes.
Li Hao saw his eyes and smirked: "Hehe, it's none of your business, you just write like this." β
The more Li Hao evaded, the more Mike doubted, "Is it your original woman, she ran away with someone else, and if you are not convinced, you will slap her?" His eyes blinked, the corners of his mouth moved slightly to the sides, and he looked at him with a lewd smile.
Li Hao looked at his current expression, he was really a little empty, he didn't want to entangle with him on this issue, and said angrily: "You can't write, you don't write, I'll go to Si Rui." β
"Okay, okay, I write, can't I write?" Immediately pick up a pen and write on paper.
After he finished writing, he said in Li Hao's ear: "Did that woman run away with someone else?" β
As soon as Li Hao heard this, he came again, immediately snatched the note from his hand, turned around and left. Leaving Shen Baichuan, who was full of curiosity, there.
"Is everyone ready?" Yalvis asked.
"It's written." All.
"Then let's bury your wishes."
β»β»β»
By the time I got back to the camp, it was almost dawn.
As soon as Li Hao and the others fell, they fell asleep on the bed, they wanted to have a little more time, hurry up and sleep, otherwise they wouldn't be able to sleep.
"Get up and go." Not long after they lay down, they were awakened by the shout.
Mike stood up and said in a daze: "That dead captain, shouting earlier and earlier every day, no matter what, Lao Tzu and the others will continue to sleep in the car." β
After hearing this, Abt said loudly: "Haha, you just slept last night, and you won't sleep the same next morning." (To be continued)
