Chapter 16 Reaching an Agreement
"Where did you get this picture?"
The corners of Peng Long's mouth raised, and he sold me Guanzi.
I glanced at the black-and-white photo again.
The photo shows a large courtyard from the Qing Dynasty, and a group of people are standing in front of the courtyard.
The head should be the master, the head of the family.
He sat in a chair with two wives and concubines on his left and right sides. Behind him was a bunch of servants.
It could be seen that they had never seen a camera before, so everyone was very curious and scared when they took the picture.
But that's not the point, the point is that there is something at the feet of the old man sitting on the chair.
As for why I use the word "thing", because the lower body of the monster is like a beast, but the head is somewhat like a human.
The scary thing is that he looks at the camera and cracks his mouth and laughs, and it makes me creepy.
I said if it was a problem with the equipment at that time, maybe it was a dog.
Peng Long took a deep breath of cigarette, walked around his lungs and spit it out.
"If only that were the case," he said quietly. ”
I was silent, and then asked where the courtyard was.
"Near Hongshan Road, if I'm not wrong in my investigation."
He snuffed out his cigarette, looked at me and said, "I spent a lot of money to investigate that thing, and it was a foreign devil who took this photo, and I found him in a small mountain village in England a few days ago, and this photo was backed up by him, do you know what he said?" ”
I said how do I know.
He opened his mouth and said mysteriously, "I heard that thing ......" he lowered his voice and shrieked in my ear, "I heard that it is the mountain god." ”
I looked at him in amazement, and he looked at me and smiled smugly.
I frowned, "You are talking to me, do you believe it?" ”
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, anyway, the foreign devil said that that thing is human, and especially warned us not to go near it."
I said how a monster survived for so long.
Peng Long didn't speak, patted me on the shoulder and said, "I won't treat you badly if I go, this monster doesn't know, we will get rich if we catch it."
He looked at Liu Xiaoxiao in the room, and said in a low voice, "To tell you the truth, there is already a buyer in old Beijing, and the expert is recommended by him, a big scholar and professor!" ”
Who doesn't like money, but my life is more important.
I pushed him away and said, "I know why you want to take me." ”
He said that he saw the treasure in your hand that day, and Brother Yun should not hide it, I investigated the needle in your hand, he squeezed over, and said with a greedy face, "I'm afraid that your thing is targeted by the legendary sewing soul in the second leather craftsman." ”
This Peng Long is really not a simple character, and he actually asks about everything clearly.
I distanced myself from him, saying that I could participate in this matter, but if there was danger I would turn around and leave, and I would say something ugly ahead, and if you hit me with attention, I would not be polite.
As he spoke, I pointed to my neck, he couldn't have known about the day when hair grew on my neck and killed the old man with a blue spotted face.
His face was a little ugly, and he nodded and said, "You are Qin Yanan's friend, that is, my Peng Long's brother, don't worry, you just follow us, just use your needle to give it a bite at a critical time." ”
I think he means that I can't restrain that monster with this soul needle, and I didn't completely demolish it for him at the moment.
After a long time of mixing in society, I understand that there is such a sentence, and I can't see through the truth of not saying it.
He said that he would leave early tomorrow morning, and after saying that, he slapped his ass and left.
Liu Xiaoxiao said that I am sure I want to go to this matter.
It's not okay if you don't go, depending on what he means, I'm afraid that my soul stitch will play a big role, otherwise I won't be a so-called expert, I have to go.
I don't know if the employee is dead, but we have to find out, and if he doesn't, we can save his life.
Liu Xiaoxiao said that I will think about this matter again.
I was going to go, and the next morning Peng Long was hugging and calling my name, and the neighbors began to curse the street early in the morning.
I hurriedly stopped him, took some Liu Xiaoxiao to prepare pesticides for me, and set off.
There are many miasma there, snakes, insects, rats and ants are indispensable, so be prepared.
When I went downstairs, I saw two faces beside Peng Long.
A man about the same age as us, with short hair, who looked like a fierce character, with a scar on his forehead.
The other is in his fifties, and Peng Long said that he is the expert recommended by the buyer, and Peng Long calls him a professor.
And the kid who didn't speak was a person from the Investigation Bureau, known as the Blood Knife, who had been a soldier in Tibet before, but because his foot was bitten by a wolf, he retired and came back to follow Peng Long.
We got into the car, and no one talked to us on the way.
Unconsciously, the sky darkened, and Peng Long, who was driving, drank, "It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married."
As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderbolt crawled across half of the sky, and suddenly a downpour of rain crackled on the roof of the car.
I don't know why I started to feel uneasy, but this was also the scene when my grandmother died.
When I entered Hongshan Road, I saw the company's truck parked on the way from a distance, because the frozen squid transported had not been processed for a long time, and I smelled an extremely unpleasant fishy smell from a distance.
When we got here, we had to get out of the car, and Peng Long gave each of us a nylon rope for rock climbing, and he said that he estimated that it was down the hillside.
After tying up the group, they began to slide down.
Beneath the highway was a knife-like cliff overgrown with vines, which were almost weightless when they stepped on them several times in the rain.
It's not deep below, and we've landed more than 30 meters.
I wiped the cold rain from my face, and my hands froze.
"Look," Peng Long ran down, only to see a pistol found on the ground.
Peng Long checked the gun and said that this was assigned by the police station, and everyone looked to see if they could find the body.
I didn't dare to go far, so I took a look along the cliff wall, because the vegetation here was lush and the view was obstructed by heavy rain.
"What now?" I asked.
Peng Long's purpose is very simple, he wants to catch the monster in the black and white photo, I came to save people, the professor heard Peng Long meant to inspect the goods, he had to come in person.
I think this person is crazy about reading, I can't help it, he didn't come to find death.
As for the bloody knife who has never said a word, he is colder than a cold man, he is just to make money, that's all.
Everyone takes what they need.
But now the problem is divided, I said that it is important to find someone quickly, but he said to find the monster first.
Seeing this, the professor smiled and said, "Actually, both sides can't be mistaken, the monster will definitely take the person away, and if you find the monster, you will find the person." ”
He looked around, "Otherwise, the corpses would all be here." ”
I think that's the case, but the question is how to find it.
Peng Long said that we have time, and we can always catch it.
He touched the rain on his face, and his eyes almost fell into the eyes of money.
Our group braved the heavy rain to search the neighborhood, and found some important clues on the way.
Among them was a pair of shoes, a police uniform, and finally a wound was found in the ditch where the flood was heard.
Peng Long said excitedly, "It is estimated that it is the front, so he hurried to the front as he spoke." ”
I stopped him, and he turned around and asked what was wrong, like a.
I didn't like to look at him, and he was embarrassed to restrain his impatience.
I said your brain, didn't you find a problem, there was no blood on the way, three lives, it was taken away by one person?
As soon as these words came out, they were silent, and Peng Long asked in a rhetorical tone, "Could it be more than one?" ”
I shook my head and said it's hard to say, at least it can prove that it still has helpers, do you think we have a few lives if we continue to swagger like this.
He sat on the ground, put on his raincoat and hood and pondered for a moment, then looked at me, "What are you going to do?" ”
Now it's raining heavily, and we're very limited in our movements, and if we continue like this, we don't know how we're going to die.
You must know that those three policemen have a guy in their hands, and even then they have met with accidents.
After discussion, the four of us finally decided to find a place to hide from the rain first.
This area used to be a dangerous place for the anti-Japanese resistance, and there were many caves found on the way.
Sure enough, before he had walked a few thousand meters, Peng Long pointed to the cliff on the hillside, where there was a cave three meters high.
He didn't dare to show it, and when we saw it, we ran to the cave.
I looked at the time, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon from ten o'clock, but it was almost the same as it was night.
It also makes us feel a little depressed.
Although there is a raincoat on the body, it is still wet for most of the time, and it is cold in this winter, and the warm clothes are soaked and sticky to the body, sticky and disgusting, very uncomfortable.
The worst thing is that you can't make a fire yet.
Peng Long was a little displeased, scolded and scolded, took off his underwear and squeezed it dry, and simply put his coat on his body and trembled.
The bloody knife on the side went to the depths of the cave with a flashlight, and we were too tired to do it, so let him go in and have a look.
Suddenly, there was a tremor in the cave.
Peng Long, who was bare-assed, was so frightened that he put back his underwear that had not been squeezed out.
"What's wrong, what's wrong," he asked.
I reacted the fastest, jumped up and shouted, "Damn, mudslide, get out of here." ”
