Chapter 14: Katsuko

I exclaimed, and grabbed it to take a closer look. After reading back and forth dozens www.biquge.info of times, I finally saw a clue that this piece of jade is slightly smaller than the genuine product, and the patterns on the body are not as delicate and delicate as the original. I looked at this piece of Xibei in disappointment, as if someone had poured cold water on my head, and the excitement and surprise that had just risen turned into nothing in an instant. Hu Sanchang sighed and threw the fake jade into his bag: "The appearance of this piece of jade is definitely not accidental. ”

Li Xikan's fierce eyes and his vicious words suddenly appeared in my mind: I hid the jade in an unknown place, but you and Hu San will guess it sooner or later, so I will kill you. A spark flashed in my mind, and I asked Hu Sandao, "Is the real jade hidden in the desert?" ”

He nodded and said, "I never told you that I went into the desert not only to find herbs, but also to find that broken stone. Before we could return from Yongsheng, I had deduced that Jade should be here. ”

I was full of questions and pondered: "This place is 108,000 miles away from Yongsheng, how could Li Xikan instantly transfer here and bury the jade into the depths of the desert?" Could it be ......"

Zhang Siyuan said quickly: "Could it be that he didn't take the jade to Yongsheng at all?" Perhaps he buried the jade in the desert before going to Yunnan. ”

Hu San smiled slightly, I felt like someone had hit me with a hammer on the head, my ears were buzzing, and I suddenly recalled Li Xikan's various behaviors along the way that I couldn't understand, why did he agree to follow us back to the city, and why was there no panic in his expression? Wang Zhen slapped his thigh and shouted, "We have been deceived!" Bai went to Yongsheng and fell for his tricks! ”

Uncle Lu sighed, spit out the smoke ring and said leisurely: "It's not the first day I know him, and I also know a lot about his personality and way of doing things, but I still haven't polished my eyes." ”

Wang Linshuo comforted: "Anyway, the purpose of going into the desert is to find something, to find one is to find, to find two is to find, maybe these two are still buried in the same place." ”

I felt a little relieved, and stood up with my legs hammered and beckoned everyone to go deep into the desert, only to suddenly realize that something was wrong with Katsuko.

He neither packed his bags nor got up, his eyes were straight and he just stared at Hu San's bag. I was taken aback by his strange thief-like gaze, and hurriedly walked over and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

He gritted his teeth, his face flushed, and his tone became very strange: "How do you know this piece of jade?" ”

I was shocked, it was rare to see him glaring at me with such hatred. Just now, I was immersed in the surprise of discovering the jade and the ups and downs of learning that it was fake, and I didn't notice Katsuko's expression and movements at all. I rolled my eyes and said, "This piece of jade is my family's heirloom, it was stolen some time ago, and we came here to dig and find it." ”

Before Katsuko could finish speaking, her eyes instantly turned red. His eyes stared at me as if they were burning with flames, as if he was going to eat me alive, and he glared at me with his fists clenched and shouted, "So you are the murderers!" Where is my brother now? ”

I was confused by his questioning, and I couldn't help but think of the farce in Liujiawan. Zhang Siyuan smiled: "What are you talking about, brother? We haven't even seen your brother, so how could we kill him. Don't you want to say that this jade is his talisman, if the jade is in someone else's hands, then his life will not be guaranteed, right? ”

Shengzi was choked and his face was red, his lines were snatched away by Zhang Siyuan, and he didn't know what to say for a while. He blushed for a while before clenching his fists and saying angrily, "How can you say word for word? You must have done something unspeakable to my brother! ”

I couldn't laugh or cry, and I thought that this kind of thing would happen to me wherever I went. Wang Linshuo pulled him aside, justified and asked about some details, he was very sincere at first, but in the end, his face was a little cloudy. Hu San suddenly walked up to him and sneered: "Even if we are murderers, what can we do?" We have more people than you and more weapons than you, so what can you do if I kill you to keep things from being revealed? There is no shop in front of the village here, you can do it yourself. ”

Katsuko's face turned white all of a sudden, and the aggressive face just now disappeared in an instant. He scolded and walked away in Yunnan dialect, not even daring to look at Hu San.

I hurriedly pulled Hu San over and whispered, "Why are you doing this?" He's a guide after all, what if he deliberately points the wrong way? ”

He walked up to me and said in unison with Wang Linshuo: "He is pretending." ”

The two of them looked at each other, and I was confused, and glanced at Katsuko, who was standing on the side, and whispered to them to hurry up. Wang Linshuo frowned and said: "When I asked him for some details just now, he seemed a little flustered, and his words were full of loopholes, and even some donkey's head was not in the horse's mouth. ”

Hu San continued in a low voice: "If what he said is true, then why didn't he have the slightest surprised expression on his face when he saw the jade?" I suspect he's pretending, but I can't guess what his purpose was. ”

I muttered, "Maybe he sees that the jade is in good condition and wants to keep it for himself." ”

Wang Linshuo nodded and said, "He's not as simple as he seems on the surface...... His expression changed suddenly, and he said in a loud voice, "Do our camels still have forage to eat?" ”

As soon as I looked up, I saw Katsuko walking up to us at some point. As if he hadn't heard Wang Linshuo's words, he played with his nails. Although the sun is like fire, the hot wind is like steam, and the temperature of the sand seems to be able to roast people, we have to hurry up.

It took the whole afternoon until the sun went down, and we didn't stop once. I didn't encounter any strange animals on the way, and I didn't find any new clues. I secretly observed Katsuko a few times, and he just walked with his head bored all the way without saying a word. I wanted to talk to him, but I felt embarrassed and embarrassed to step forward.

Before the sun had completely set, the desert air was freezing cold, giving me goosebumps. Uncle Lu set up a tent and handed us dry food, frowned at the empty kettle, and called Guo Shengzi to ask if there was a water source nearby. Katsuko squatted down and touched the sand, took out his compass and looked at it again, and said categorically: "If you go in this direction, it will take about an hour to ride a camel." ”

Uncle Lu was overjoyed, collected everyone's kettle and hung it around his neck, and pulled out a stainless steel rice bowl from his bag, and when he was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by Shengzi: "Don't go, let me go with him." ”

His hard fingers pointed directly at me, I took two steps back in disbelief, looked at his firm face and looked at Wang Linshuo's stunned face, and said with a somewhat flustered smile: "I'm afraid it's not good for the two of us to go, the combat effectiveness is too weak, I suggest calling another person." ”

Katsuko shook her head stubbornly: "No, that place can't be found if it's not a local." But if three people go together, the camel will not be able to sit down. ”

Hu San jumped out and said: "His strength is too small, and his kung fu is not high, in case of danger, it will be over." How about we go together? ”

Katsuko's head shook like a rattle, and he frowned: "No, I'm afraid of you, I won't go with you." ”

Hu San helplessly stretched out his hands to me, I was angry and faintly worried, looking at Katsuko's thick lips and the bridge of his nose, I suddenly wanted to go up and grab his collar and ask him what he was doing. Uncle Lu brought the camel, and Katsuko jumped up first, grabbing the reins a little proudly. My heart went up and down, I touched the gun on my waist, and I thought angrily: My physique is better than Katsuko, and I also have weapons in my hand, can I still be afraid of this little hairy child?

I took the yellow robe, jumped on the camel, deliberately put the gun on my waist against Katsuko's back, and whispered, "Hurry up, it'll be colder in a while." ”

The camel threw off its hooves and ran, and Katsuko pursed her lips and lay motionless on her back on top of it, only the slightest gasp could prove that he was still alive. At first, I felt a little embarrassed, but after thinking that if we had no topic to talk about, it would be more embarrassing than it is now, so I kept my mouth shut.

In the boundless darkness, my mind began to wander in an endless way. My thoughts spread from that piece of jade to when I first met Wang Zhen and Zhang Siyuan, and the anxious morning after I learned that Uncle Lu was sick flashed in front of my eyes. I couldn't help but sigh lowly, and the hardships and hardships along the way were enough for me to write a book. Just as my soul was out of my body and I had reached the realm of transformation, Katsuko suddenly opened her mouth to break the silence

He spoke Yunnan-flavored Mandarin and asked, "That Hu San, who are you?" ”
