Chapter 257: Insect Hide
(Cat flutter Chinese)
"And where are we going?" I asked again.
"Just over there at the Hezhai Wharf, Hu said that there is only one dark river passing through our Jinpen Township, and there is a section that happens to coincide with the above-ground river, and we are guarding there." Cao Nan said.
"Good!" I immediately locked the door and ran with him to the river dock. The snow on the ground was already deep to our calves, hindering our speed, and we had to trek for half an hour to reach the Hezhai Pier.
When I stopped, I saw that there was nothing but the river, and there was nothing around. The snow was non-stop, and the sky was already a little dark, and the sight was not very good.
I immediately called Huang Mao, but it turned off the phone over there, it seems that he was afraid that his phone would expose their hidden surveillance.
Cao Nan and I found a hidden place and squatted down, holding binoculars and guarding everywhere. After about half an hour, I suddenly noticed that the water in the river had an unusual eddy, and it was also very high, from the downstream to the upstream.
"In the river!" I hurriedly whispered. Cao Nan turned his gaze and looked at it
"There's something in the river, it's not small!" At the same time, my phone vibrated and it was Huang Mao's call; Press the answer button, and Hu Lai's voice came
"Did you find anything over there?"
"There's something in the river, it's going upstream." I said hurriedly.
"Is there anyone around there?" I said
"I don't see it, we're looking through a telescope!"
"Hell, there is no insect catcher, but the hornworm rushes upstream." Hu Lai scolded and said
"You guys go along, and if there's any situation, notify me immediately, and we'll come over immediately." I answered and hung up the phone, picked up Cao Nan and ran upstream along the embankment.
During this time, it rained a lot in the countryside, and the water level in the river remained high, almost level with the river.
If you can make such a big movement, there must be a big guy in the river. We ran as fast as we could, because the hornworms were faster than us, and little by little they were out of our sight.
Half an hour later, the river suddenly calmed down, and the waves against the current disappeared.
"Lost?" Cao Nan said hurriedly.
"Probably not, it's possible that they went underground, or into intersecting waterways." I said that I had been staring at it with my glasses, and it was impossible to let it out of sight.
After thinking about it, I immediately picked up the phone and dialed Huang Mao's number.
"How?" Hu Lai's voice came. I briefly explained the situation, nonsense
"Wait for us, I'll be there soon." Soon Huang Mao and Hu Lai rushed over, and both of them ran out of breath.
Hu Lai ran to the water's edge and sensed it carefully for a while, and said
"The hornworm has stopped, deep underground."
"But where's the insect catcher?" Cao Nan looked at the vast four fields and wondered. The yellow hair crossed his waist,
"This method is no longer to drive insects, but to control insects, and people are definitely not nearby." Hu Lai also frowned and sighed
"This kind of insect control method is unheard of, and it can be regarded as an eye-opener." I was speechless, the last time the python Hu came, I suspected that it was not to drive insects, but to control insects.
Because the python swallowed the iron box at first, and then desperately swallowed the corpse, and finally died together.
If it weren't for insect control, the python was hungry and crazy, and went to eat the invulnerable corpse? But as a rookie Hu Lai who drove insects, he had never heard of insect control, and there were all kinds of weirdness in it.
"Could it be something left over from the age of mythology?" Suddenly a flash of light flashed in my mind, and I tried to ask.
The most typical example is Wang's family, she is obviously not a Gu seedling, but she knows how to control Gu, the reason is that she got something suspected of being from Jinpen Mountain, and now she is being targeted by Naguzha.
Since Wang can get something obviously unusual, is it also possible for that insect chaser.
Hu Lai fell into deep thought and nodded slowly
"I'm afraid it's really possible, the mythical era is full of flowers, there are countless magical things, this insect control technique is very likely to exist, but it slowly evolved to the end of the law era, the insect control technique was lost, and only the insect chasing technique remained."
"If that's the case, then the insect control master is likely to be the same as Wang's, a person from Jinpen Township." Huang Mao Road.
"But there are so many people in Jinpen Township, how to find it, this is already a township, and he can completely control this hornworm at home." Cao Nan said.
"It's not without clues." Hu Lai groaned for a moment and said
"The hornworm came from western Fujian, no matter how powerful the insect controller is, it is impossible to control the hornworm from hundreds of miles away, he must have been to western Fujian."
"Find out who has left the township recently, and there will be clues." Yellow hair supplement. I nodded, this method is cumbersome, but it is very accurate, and it is the only clue at the moment.
"Then let's investigate secretly, the New Year is coming soon, and the villagers are rushing back, and there won't be too many people running outside this season." Cao Nan said.
"As soon as possible, he got another big worm, he must have sensed that something was going to happen, and he was ready to make a move, I think it has something to do with the weak water pool." Huang Mao analyzed.
We all agree, because there is no other hot spot recently, just that Youtan, its magic circle has been artificially destroyed, and now that all forces are surrounding Youtan, there will definitely be some action.
Underneath the pool is the coffin of the Golden Flute. After that, when we returned to our hometown, it was already dark, and it was difficult to inquire again, so we had to wait until tomorrow.
After dark, Cao Nan and I braved the snow to work on the shift. I don't know if it's the relationship between hornworms lurking, and the night has become deathly silent again, and the dogs that were quite lively a few days ago barked again, and they didn't bark anymore.
Cao Nan and I kicked a snow pit, which was particularly loud at night. …… The next day we began to secretly inquire about who was not in the township these days.
On the Feng family's side, I arranged for Feng Sanshun to help, as long as this grandson has money, he can do anything. Liu Erlong was also arrested by us, there are more than a dozen people behind this guy's ass, and it is more convenient than us to inquire about this kind of thing.
Until noon, although there was no exact news, there were a few suspected people, and further determination was needed.
Cao Nan and I rushed back, planning to summarize with Liu Erlong, eliminate those suspected personnel, and then focus on investigation.
"Xiao Lei!" At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him, and when he turned around, he found that it was the third uncle.
"Third uncle!" I shouted, and at the same time my heart moved slightly, and there seemed to be a loophole in our investigation.
Because people who leave the township are easy to ask, but some people are considered to leave and are not left. It is the mason or carpenter or carpenter like the third uncle, who will go to the countryside from time to time to work, and usually come back, but sometimes they are late, so they will rest at the owner's house, saving them from rushing back and forth.
The third uncle should have just come back from the vegetable market, carried a pork knuckle, a bag of water, and bought some daily necessities.
Since my aunt's illness was cured, after the third uncle's work day and night for most of the year, the family situation has slowly eased up, Meng Shuisheng is at home during the holidays, the third uncle and aunt have improved the food a lot, and even my food is more decent, Meng Shuisheng comes to my store and often brings me a little.
"I watched you wander around from afar, what are you doing?" The third uncle asked me with a smile.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just want to inquire if anyone has left the township during this time." I said.
The third uncle looked strange,
"What are you asking about this?"
"Hmm...... I can't say a word. "I'm not going to explain, ask
"Third uncle, have you ever left the township recently, or did you leave some time ago and just came back in the past few days?" The third uncle thought for a while,
"No, it's the New Year soon, plus there has been a lot of rain recently, so we can't start work at all, we have stopped, and we plan to go to work again after the beginning of spring next year, and now we are all resting at home."
"Oh." I nodded, the third uncle has a good reputation among the workers he knows, and he said no, there should be none.
The third uncle didn't pursue this issue and said with a smile
"Come to the house for dinner and eat elbows, I'll let your aunt get it when I go back, look at you, everyone has lost weight." I said yes and chatted with the third uncle a few words, and the third uncle went home.
Cao Nan looked at the back of the third uncle and said
"Leizi, your grandfather is the leader, you don't know it's because you were still young at the time, but your third uncle doesn't know anything?"
"What do you mean?" I was stunned and said
"Do you suspect my third uncle?"
"I can't talk about it, it's just that your grandfather hides it too well, and even your third uncle doesn't know it." Cao Nan touched his chin and wondered.
I shook my head in the affirmative
"It's impossible for my third uncle to know how to do it, if he does, do you think he will let a mandrill lie on my aunt's back for three or four years? The family is destitute, and they take my aunt all over the world to find a hospital to see a doctor, doing useless work? "I didn't have any skills at that time, so I simply used a peach branch to sweep down the silver-eyed mandrill lying on my aunt's back, and captured it alive.
As long as the mandrill is a person who practices the law, he can see it, if the third uncle knows how to do it, how can he not find it after three or four years of getting along?
I said again
"Even if my third uncle knew some information, he wouldn't think of the Fa practice, and my grandfather has always been low-key, so it's even more difficult to find out; Take 10,000 steps back, and even if you find out, you don't understand what it means. Coupled with the fact that my grandfather was so kind to him, it was even more impossible for him to suspect that there was something wrong with my grandfather. Cao Nan nodded and said
"That's just as well." …… Cat flutter Chinese
