Chapter 19: The Mysterious Cabin
After resting for a day, Yu Tang continued to walk forward along the original route. Strange to say, Yu Tang walked for a whole afternoon without seeing a single car passing. The road seemed to have been forgotten by the world, and the silence was terrible.
Yu Tang was walking forward when suddenly, a monkey came out of the roadside. When it saw Yu Tang, it was not afraid at all, but beckoned to Yu Tang, and crawled towards the depths of the dense forest.
Seeing this scene, Yu Tang decided to follow the monkey to take a look.
The monkey was visibly well-trained, and led Yu Tang all the way through the dense forest full of dangers to a small cabin.
The chalet is built on a towering tree and is surrounded by a small stream. The murmuring of the stream and the crisp chirping of birds in the distance, the two symphony, playing the purest sound, the sound of nature, is a rare hermit's place.
Yu Tang followed the monkey upstairs, and the monkey knocked on the door.
"Come in," a crisp female voice came from the room.
Yu Tang pushed the door in and saw a girl with a double ponytail, Zhong Lingyuxiu, and an old man next to her. The old man was sitting precariously, the girl was standing aside, and the grandfather and grandson were both looking at Yu Tang.
"You are...... Seeds of Chaos, right? The old man's calm voice echoed through the cabin.
"I don't know. However, they all called me the Seed of Chaos, and it ...... in the information, "Yu Tang wanted to continue, but the old man waved his hand and stopped him.
"Needless to say, kid. I already feel the "it" you are carrying. After the old man finished speaking, he coughed heavily a few times, and the girl on the side hurriedly took water. After the old man had drunk, the girl gently patted him on the back again. The old man slowed down for a while before continuing.
"You've got to get out as soon as possible, kid. This world can't tolerate you anymore. Old man, let me tell you, the more cause and effect you carry on your body, the easier it is to die in this world. I guess you must have felt it, too, the feeling of being tightly entangled by cause and effect. ”
"Grandpa, how do you know this?" Yu Tang looked at the plainly dressed old man suspiciously.
"Don't ask too much, be entrusted by men, be loyal to people. When I meet with you today, I also repay the favor of that person 30 years ago. Because of contact with you, I have also been contaminated with a lot of cause and effect, and you leave quickly, and the old man is still unwilling to leave this world. Qian'er, help me into the back room. The old man began to cough again, and the girl hurriedly helped him to his feet, and the two slowly walked into the curtain behind the old man's chair.
Yu Tang wanted to catch up and ask more, but he didn't expect the old man's voice to come from behind the curtain, "From here to the east for a day and night, you will see a cave, in which you can find the answer by yourself." Qian'er, hand him something to eat, he shouldn't have eaten for a few days. ”
The girl walked out from behind the curtain and handed Yu Tang two baked cakes and a simple kettle, "Hello, my name is Qian'er, grandpa is not usually so fierce, I don't know why today, he is so anxious to drive you away, sorry." ”
Before the words fell, an old man's voice came from behind the curtain, "Qian'er! Don't be associated with the cause and effect of the seeds of chaos! Come back! ”
The girl stuck out her tongue to Yu Tang, showed a helpless smile, and said, "Grandpa is usually a little nervous, and when my parents come back in a few days, they will take him to the hospital in the town for a check-up." You go first, or my grandfather will be angry later. ”
"Well, thank you." Yu Tang took the baked cake and the kettle, and left the cabin.
The monkey actually jumped onto Yu Tang's shoulder, made a squeaky sound, and pointed his finger in one direction. This clever little creature is actually showing him the way.
"Ah Fu! Go early and come back early! The girl's crisp voice came from the wooden house behind her, and the monkey deftly jumped on Yu Tang's head, made a happy sound, and waved towards the wooden house.

"Report! The Eagle Falcon Country has sent an update on the target, and the Seeds of Chaos are currently stagnant in the depths of the forest. We found an officer's police car and a large amount of blood at the outpost, as well as a large amount of blood in the nearby forest. After confirming with the Eagle Falcon Country and the amount of blood and footprints found at the scene, it is speculated that these blood belong to the special forces and spies sent to our country by the Eagle Falcon Country.
In addition, after investigation, the police officer was sending the family north to a nearby town that day, but the four people were not found in the police car, and it is speculated that the seeds of chaos were hiding among the four people. ”
The Chief Archon of the Divine Continent took the report with a solemn expression. After a little thought, he gave the order to the reporter, "Inform the three armed forces and the first department to carry out a carpet search within a circle with a radius of 10 kilometers centered on the checkpoint, and if any living person is found, bring it back directly." If you encounter resistance, you don't need to ask your superiors and shoot you directly. ”
"Yes!" The rapporteur gave a standard military salute and exited the office.
The archon was still thinking about something, when suddenly, the red phone on his right rang.
"We have synthesized the information you have provided and have secured the identity of the Seeds of Chaos. His name is Yu Tang, and his father, Tang Wangdao, used to be the king of soldiers in your Shenzhou Continent, and he worked in the north with his wife after retiring from the army. And the area where a large number of causal values detected by our equipment does not include the area where they go to work. Hence the exclusion of both of them. The voice paused, and then continued, "The missing officer's name is Zou Yu, and he is an excellent front-line police officer. He was only transferred to Yuanyu Town a few years ago to serve as the head of the police station in Yuanyu Town, and he also does not meet our conditions for the seeds of chaos to wander the border for a long time. Therefore, among the four people that day, Yu Tang was the seed of chaos we were looking for. ”
After listening to this, the consul put down the phone, and after a moment of silence, he picked up the microphone again and dialed a string of numbers, "Send additional manpower, complete the search by tomorrow night, and in addition, give each soldier a tranquilizer gun and a photo of the child in that family, Yu Tang, once this person is found, first try to paralyze, and if it is unsuccessful, kill it immediately!" ”
"Yes! Sir! ”
At the moment, in the forest.
Under the guidance of the little monkey Ah Fu, Yu Tang advanced very quickly. Only then did he realize that this forest seemed to be quiet, but in fact it was full of murderous intent - he avoided ant hills, quagmire, snake nests, and even almost ran into poisonous spiders hidden in the fallen leaves a few times, but fortunately Ah Fu found it early and issued a squeaky warning sound, so he survived.
"According to the old man, I should be able to reach the cave tomorrow night...... Ah Fu, this half of the bread is for you, I am full. ”
Ah Fu squeaked happily, took the cake and nibbled on it. As the moonlight grew thicker, Yu Tang found a clearing and lit a fire. In the faint light of the fire, Yu Tang leaned against the tree and gradually fell asleep.
There are five days left before the Key of Time is fully charged.
