Chapter 116: The Beginning of Cunning
The old prostitute ran back in a frenzy, confusing the three of us, and neither of us understood what he meant.
I was a little confused at the time, and it was unbelievable that a prostitute would do this without warning.
At first, my first thought was that there was danger ahead, but then I thought it was wrong, and if there was danger, it was impossible not to call me when the prostitute ran away. The second thought was that he found the place where the little wolf was trapped, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not the case, and if he found the place where the little wolf was trapped, then he shouldn't have muttered that something was wrong.
What's wrong?
While thinking about it, I was a little hesitant, not knowing whether I should run back or not. Originally, I wanted to shout and ask the old prostitute what was wrong, but this guy ran faster than a rabbit, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone.
It's not that the old prostitute runs out, but that the waterways here are criss-crossed, and there is a bend a few meters away, and if people run through the bend, they will basically not be visible.
When the old prostitute first ran, I was not in a hurry, but I couldn't see anyone else, so I was a little anxious, and I ran back with a big stride. San'er and Scar saw me running back, and they both followed.
San'er chased after me, and while running, he asked me, "What's the matter with the old prostitute?" Why are you still running back?"
"I don't know, I'll catch up with him first."
The old prostitute ran really fast, I chased him from behind, and I could only see his ass at every bend, and as soon as I saw him, he turned again.
It wasn't until he ran back to the hole where the fish were gathered that he stopped running that we caught him.
I just asked him what's wrong? Why run with your life. As soon as he said that, he saw the old prostitute squatting beside the crowded puddle of fish, and he was taking out the fish one by one and throwing them into other puddles.
I looked, what is the situation? How can you suddenly have a good heart, are you afraid that these fish will be squeezed to death in a pit? And they have to be divided into another pit.
I've known the old prostitute for so long, and I've never seen him care about animals, and I haven't heard of him having any special love for fish. I thought to myself, even if he had any hobby for fish, he wouldn't fall in love with this kind of fish.
I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I walked over and wanted to kick the old prostitute's ass, and then scold him twice. Before I could lift my foot, I saw that something was wrong in the puddle where he was holding the fish, and I felt a little weird when I looked at it.
After a few glances, I realized that there was something strange about it, and among the many human-faced fish, there was a person who looked like a person, much more like other fish. Especially the nose, eyes and mouth, but also the ears.
Ear? I immediately felt that it was a man, not a fish, and how could a fish have ears.
I looked closely, and it was indeed a human face, not a human face fish.
This is a man's face, it seems that he has been dead for a long time, although he has been swollen by blisters, but it can still be seen that he was not fat in his life.
Seeing the corpse here, I can't help but think that he was the one who came in with the little wolf.
"Old prostitute, did this person come down with you?" I asked.
"Yes, he's from Tianxiang."
The old prostitute was still taking the fish out, and as more and more fish were taken out of the puddle, the person's body was gradually revealed, but it was a little strange to look at it, his body was actually upright.
I didn't see who this person was, after all, Tianxiang has a lot of buddies, and I don't know all of them.
"Don't be stunned, look around and see if there's a hole in the top of your head, maybe they're stuck around here." The old prostitute looked back at us and said.
"Then what are you going to do with him, let's go find it together." I said to the old prostitute.
"Go ahead, I've got to get him out, check on him, if he wants to swim out for help, he must have some important clues on him." After the old prostitute finished speaking, she continued to clean up the human face fish in the puddle.
I was right, and it was a two-pronged approach, he stayed behind to find clues, and we went to find the hole above our heads.
In order to prevent everyone from getting separated in the complex water hole, we agreed to return to the place every five minutes, regardless of whether we found the place where they were trapped, and if anyone was found, we would shout loudly until the shouting did not stop.
I wandered around four or five holes in the water, but I didn't see any holes in them, and when I felt that the time was almost up, I went back to meet them.
When I went back, San'er and Scar had already gone back, and I knew that I had found nothing by looking at my face. At this time, the old prostitute had finished all the fish in the puddle, but he could not pull the body out.
The body was stuck in the hole below the puddle, only his hands and head poked out of the hole, and his two armpits were stuck in the middle of the hole, and his hands were pressing the stones on the side of the hole outside the hole, as if he wanted to get out of the hole. According to the picture seen so far, it is not difficult to speculate that the deceased should have been stuck here before death, not after death.
Seeing the corpse like this, I couldn't help but ask the old prostitute: What's going on?
The old prostitute also expressed puzzlement, but he was also sure that the deceased died because he was stuck in the hole, and he also did not understand why the deceased would come out under the water hole.
Finally, we used tools to dig the hole wide and then dragged the body out. The old prostitute rummaged carefully, but found nothing of value, except for a little food on her body, there was nothing else.
It seems that when this guy went into the water, the wolf cub still had food. Of course, there is also a possibility that they gave him all the food, hoping that he would come out and ask for help, after all, they did not know that the old prostitute had already gone out. Maybe this guy is the best in the water, but he may have underestimated the sophistication of these water holes. After all, I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I can't speculate why he came up from under the hole. It seems a bit bizarre.
Originally, my wife and I were going to look around here, but San'er objected, and he said his reasoning.
San'er means that although the corpse appears here, it does not necessarily go into the water around here. The first thing to consider is the flow of water, which flows from the inside to the outside, and the person must follow the flow of water after entering the water, so as to speed up the speed in the water. The other point is that since we believe that this person is out to ask for help, then his water nature must be the best, it is impossible to die as soon as he gets out of the water, he can at least hold on to the water for a minute or more.
San'er, let's imagine how fast a person with good water skills should swim along the current. Even with the rugged waterways, a minute or two is enough to swim a long distance. So San'er suggested that we continue to walk forward, and it can be judged from the corpse of this guy that our general direction is not wrong, but it is not recommended to search indiscriminately here, at least walk forward for another hundred and eighty meters, and then expand the scope of searching.
The old prostitute and I were conquered by San'er's analysis, agreed with his point of view, and continued to move forward.
The further you go inside, the more uneven the ground becomes, and there are large areas of stagnant water in many places. Everyone in front of us had flashlights, afraid of missing any clues. There were many times when the flashlight shone on the head of the fish, and the old prostitute looked crooked.
"My god, don't fucking take a blind picture in the back, Lao Tzu is exploring the way for you, you just take a picture of it."
We walked forward about fifty meters away, and a large puddle appeared, and almost the entire hole was filled with water.
"Slow down, there seems to be a big hole in front, everyone drags each other and follows me, don't fall." The old prostitute shouted as she explored the way with a double-fold crowbar.
I walked behind the old prostitute, San'er walked behind me, and at the end of the scar, everyone was holding hands, afraid that they would slide into the hole in the puddle. After all, we didn't test anything, and we didn't know where the hole was in the puddle, and when we shone the puddle with a flashlight, we could only see a roughly Qi shadow.
I walked after the old prostitute, and I felt very relaxed, but as soon as I reached the middle of this water hole, I heard a plop behind me. Hurriedly looked back and found that Scar had fallen into the water, and after a few struggles, it began to sink.
My brain was hot, and I wanted to jump in and drag him, but I was immediately stopped by San'er. San'er motioned for me to see the old prostitute.
The old prostitute took out the rope, wrapped it around her left wrist twice, and then quickly threw the other rope to me, shouting, "Catch it, and you will pull me up if I pull the rope."
After speaking, the old prostitute took a deep breath and jumped in. The rope was immediately pulled into the water quickly, and San'er immediately took the rope in my hand when he saw this, thinking that he was afraid that I would not be able to pull it, so he took it. I didn't think he would throw the rope directly into the water.
I saw that the rope was thrown into the water by San'er, so I hurriedly leaned over to catch it. San'er grabbed my belt from behind and carried me to the edge of the puddle.
