The green half-human tall grass on both sides is almost about to drown the two of them, but fortunately, Zhang Renshan and San'er have already walked here once, and after finding a position, the two of them recognized the direction and plunged into it, stepping on countless wild grass roots under their feet, Zhang Renshan waved a knife and cut down a large area, although he cleared the way out, but it took a lot of strength, and when he arrived at night, this piece of barren grass was mosquitoes flying, and the slightest carelessness would bite the person's body, not to mention the redness, swelling, itching and pain, and it was very uncomfortable, San'er carried Xiao Lingling on his back and followed Zhang Renshan slowly, at first San'er was still able to endure the harassment of mosquitoes around him, but after a long time, San'er was a little unable to hold on, waving his hands and frowning Although it can dispel a little, there are too many poisonous insects, snakes and ants in this barren grassland, and San'er will still be bitten a little no matter how he tosses his body, and in desperation, San'er looked at Zhang Renshan in front of him and said: "Xian'er, let's go quickly!" This place is so biting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Zhang Renshan is actually very uncomfortable, although he has been moving around chopping the grass to open the way, but there are too many mosquitoes around him, and he can't bite his body and start to rush to his face, Zhang Renshan is a little crazy, while waving a knife to chop the grass while keeping fanning away the flying insects that pounced on his cheeks, after San'er's words came behind him, Zhang Renshan said: "San'er, I also want to go quickly, but you see that we are all such rotten grass in front of us now, even if I want to go faster, it's no trick!" You'll have to cut this thing down before we can walk it, or if you really walk hard, I'm afraid there will be poisonous snakes in this grass! ”

"Little cub, you're not going to be flexible! If you don't cut it, just overwhelm it," Xiao Yue said after staying on Zhang Renshan's shoulder.

Zhang Renshan turned his head sideways and looked at Xiao Yue and said: "Fox, you said lightly, when San'er and I came to this back mountain, we tried to press these grasses to walk, but it was useless, it was still slow, the most important thing is that these grasses are very easy to deal with, as long as you want to step on it down, it is very difficult." ”

San'er also nodded in agreement on the side, Xiaoyue saw that the two of them didn't listen to him, and there was no way to shrink his head and rest on Zhang Renshan's shoulder, and walked a long way in the wild grass, Zhang Renshan and San'er's bodies have been bitten by many mosquitoes, although it hurt a little at the beginning, but as long as it takes a while, there will be no feeling, Zhang Renshan didn't think about it so much, it's actually best not to hurt or itch, he doesn't care so much anymore, Let those flying insects bite his cheeks and then chop the wild grass in his hands to open the way, although San'er is still waving his hand to fan away some mosquitoes that pounce on him, but after a long time, San'er also feels that his strength is a little unable to keep up, wait and wait for a sigh of relief San'er is thinking about telling Zhang Renshan to stop, he can take a break, but San'er just wanted to speak, but Zhang Renshan said in front: "San'er, we seem to have returned to the place where we came before." ”

When San'er heard this, he hurriedly glanced forward through Zhang Renshan's body, and saw that a large piece of the barren grass not far in front of the two of them had been cut down by something, and a lot of barren grass was broken and hung aside. ”

Xiao Yue didn't know what the two of them were talking about, so she stood up, stood on Zhang Renshan's shoulder, looked forward, and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

San'er saw that Xiaoyue didn't understand and explained: "Oh! This is the way I opened with the broadsword when Xian'er and I came, and now we are back in the true sense of the word. ”

"Got it!" Xiao Yue nodded, looking at the barren grassland that had been tossed and disfigured, her body shrank and fell back on Zhang Renshan's shoulder.

After walking a few steps, Zhang Renshan arrived on the road cut out by the two of them before, raised his hand to put away the broadsword, and then shook his arm and said, "Now Lao Tzu can relax for a while." ”

San'er didn't say anything, he moved his body and walked to Zhang Renshan's side, and looked back at the direction where the two of them came over, although it was a little different from the place where the two of them entered the mountain before, but at least now they are looking back, it is better than to open a new way in this barren grassland.

The two of them rested for a while, and then they began to walk in the direction of Qingshuipu along the road where the two of them entered the mountain earlier, the grass broke on the road was innumerable, and there were knife marks left everywhere after the broadknife chopping, and after a long walk, San'er turned his head and looked at the back mountain that had been thrown far away by the two, and the back mountain was almost pitch black at night, and there was no difference between the two of them, but the things in the back mountain were not as good as before, and after so many San'er only felt like having a big dream, In the dream, he and Zhang Renshan went through all kinds of dangers just to save Xiao Ling's life, although the thing was done, but what should be the way after that, San'er still didn't think about it, Zhang Renshan didn't think about it so much, looking at the more and more familiar road in front of him, he only felt happy, nodded his footsteps, Zhang Renshan's body shook and said: "San'er, wait for us to go back, Lao Tzu has to sleep well, this time the incident is Lao Tzu and I tossed miserably." ”

San'er listened to Zhang Renshan talk about sleeping, and he also felt sleepy, after all, the two of them hadn't closed their eyes for a long time, which almost made them have no time to sleep and rest at all, so they could only take a little rest halfway, and it was just to recover the strength of their bodies. ”

Zhang Renshan smiled in front of him, then turned his head to look at San'er and said, "You think I want to mention it!" I'm really sleepy, but we'll have to get home before we go to sleep. ”

"Nonsense! Where do you want to sleep when you don't get home? San'er looked at Zhang Renshan in a joking manner.

"Where? There is a place! Zhang Renshan tilted his face to reveal an obscene look.

San'er looked at him and "hummed" and said, "You like to go, you go by yourself!" I'm going back, Xiao Lingling has to find a good place to put it now, but I can't go with you to that smoky place. ”

"Alright! I can go there now! I'm just saying it's over, you still take it seriously," Zhang Renshan said that although he complained in his mouth, his face was full of joy.

Xiao Yue has been lying on Zhang Renshan's shoulder, listening to the words of the two of them, and said: "You mortals are just vulgar and unbearable. ”

"Hey! Fox, you're really right, no mortal is good, if you are elegant, then you don't follow us all the way! Zhang Renshan looked at Xiao Yue and said.

"You little cub, your mouth is a love for people, so good! I won't quarrel with you, so I can save you more energy" Xiao Yue tilted her face and didn't bother with Zhang Renshan.

Zhang Renshan saw that Xiaoyue didn't eat his own set at all, and he shook his head helplessly, and continued to walk forward, a breeze blew the barren grass around the two of them, swaying with the wind, and between the ups and downs, Zhang Renshan closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and then coughed violently and said, "What does my mother smell like?" ”

San'er didn't feel anything, and when he heard Zhang Renshan's words, he smelled the surroundings of the two of them curiously, and a fishy smell instantly penetrated San'er's nasal cavity, choking him to cough again and again, and San'er said after a while: "I'm afraid that this smell is rotten!" ”

"Can't! What else could rot in this place! Could it be that these wild grasses have been blistered and rotten? But it hasn't rained much lately, has it? Zhang Renshan recalled in his mind that when he and San'er came to this barren grassland before, there was indeed no water vapor in this place, and even if there was water on the ground in this hot summer, it would be instantly evaporated by the high temperature of the sun.

San'er shook his head and looked around the two of them and said, "No, the smell around here is not like the smell of these wild grasses rotting, but...... Xian'er, how do I feel that this smell is a bit like the smell we smelled in the cave! ”

"San'er, don't say it, I really feel a little like you mention it, this smell is exactly the same as the inside of the cave, could it be that the hole is not far from this barren grassland?" Zhang Renshan said that he raised his nose and sniffed around.

But San'er felt that what Zhang Renshan said was a little wrong, so he said: "Xian'er, this is a little unlikely, the cave is deep underground, we were in the mountains at that time, and this grass has to be 108,000 miles away from the hole, even if you have the same taste, it is impossible to be connected together." ”

Zhang Renshan didn't think so much about listening to San'er's words and nodded: "Yes, but how can San'er explain this smell?" Is there an outlet for the cave, and the wind blows the smell of the cave. ”

"Then I don't know, we only went halfway down to the rift, but I saw that there was actually a way ahead of the cave at that time, but we were already behind the iron gate," San'er thought hard for a moment and then said.

Zhang Renshan also nodded in agreement, after all, they couldn't get past the underground pit at that time, so they had to go down to it, and saw the weird iron door, if it was really bypassing the pit, maybe there would really be a way out ahead, Xiao Yue listened to the words of the two of them and poked her head and sniffed around, and then said: "What?" Isn't that the smell of the dead! ”

"Dead and dead...... Person? Zhang Renshan was so shocked that he couldn't understand what he said, and quickly turned his head to look at Xiaoyuedao.

Xiao Yue also had nothing to care about, looked at Zhang Renshan and said, "That's right! This is the smell of corpses, I guess this person has been dead for a while, and his body should be rotten to make such a smell. ”

"Isn't it Immortal Gu, are you sure?" San'er felt a little inexplicable, he and Zhang Renshan also discussed whether the strange smell around them was from the cave, but Xiaoyue directly said what the root of the smell was.

Xiao Yue looked at San'er who looked puzzled and said, "I can't make a mistake with this nose, I smell too much of this smell, you can rest assured!" ”

"Gotcha! San'er, let's toss so far, but it turns out to be nothing," Zhang Renshan shook his head helplessly, looking at the barren grass in the distance.

San'er was also a little depressed, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt a little strange, and hurriedly said to Zhang Renshan: "Xian'er...... The fairy girl said that this smell was emitted by a dead person, so who could this dead person be? ”

"Then you don't know how to go! We didn't see it again," Zhang Renshan touched his head and looked at San'er, only feeling confused.

San'er shook his body and looked at the barren grassland around him, and then said to Xiao Yue: "Fairy Gu, can you find where the dead person is?" ”

Xiao Yue poked her nose and sniffed, nodded and said, "Can it be but can...... What do you want to do, cub? ”

"Yes! San'er, what do you want to do? I'll tell you that this matter is none of our business, let's not provoke it at will, don't cause any more disasters at that time" Zhang Renshan doesn't want to toss things now, he is really a little tired, and he just wants to hurry back home and find a place to sleep, but San'er doesn't care about the words of the two of them at all, and just said: "Fairy Gu, just tell me where the dead person is." ”

Xiao Yue glanced at San'er a few times and didn't know what he wanted to do, but seeing that he had already made up his mind, he said: "That dead man is not too far away from us, if you want to find it, you can rely on these wild grasses on our right to keep groping forward, and you can find it in about one hundred and eighty steps." ”

"San'er, do you really want to go?" Zhang Renshan saw that he didn't persuade San'er from what he said just now, so he hurriedly asked.

"Hmmm! I feel that something is wrong with this dead man, Xian'er, I still plan to go over and take a good look" San'er was about to relieve Xiao Lingling behind him as he spoke, Zhang Renshan saw that he couldn't keep San'er and said: "Okay! I'll go with you! It's really so much to go back. ”

As soon as San'er heard that Zhang Renshan was willing to go with him, he smiled slightly and said, "Xian'er, you treat me as willful, and I won't do it again in the future." ”

"Alright! Who made me do this before! Zhang Renshan listened to San'er's words and also thought of a lot of things about himself before, the two turned around and came to the side of the wild grass, Zhang Renshan got up in front of him and still held a broadknife to cut the road, San'er followed quietly behind him, walked not too far, the two of them felt that the air around them was already full of fishy smell, fortunately at this time, there was a slight breeze, and the fishy smell was blown away a little, otherwise both of them would have to be fainted.

As Zhang Renshan split more and more wild grass, a rotten corpse appeared in front of the two of them, Zhang Renshan was closest to just a glance, he just didn't spit it out, this corpse is already rotten, there are still a lot of disgusting maggots crawling on it between the flies and insects, wait for the third child to pull Zhang Renshan away a little, and then turn his head slightly to look at it, the corpse's neck has been broken, it seems that it is made by a sharp weapon, and a large amount of wild grass is pressed under it, Although the body has been somewhat decomposed, but the clothes on its body are relatively neat, the clothes on the upper body are wide open and the chest is exposed, although the legs are wearing pants, but the two trouser legs are rolled up to the knees, and there are no shoes under the feet, although the two feet have been a little ulcerated, but there is still a lot of dry mud on them, and after a little look, San'er stood farther away and then said to himself: "No! This man shouldn't have died here, right? ”

"San'er, you don't care about him, you don't have to look at your fate where you want to die, this person is dying here, it's none of our business, San'er, I think let's leave quickly! I really can't stand this smell," Zhang Renshan covered his nose and looked at San'er and urged.

San'er didn't say anything and nodded in agreement, Zhang Renshan immediately turned around and walked back along the road where the two came, San'er followed slowly, Xiaoyue looked back at him and said, "Did the little cub see what's coming?" ”

"Hmm...... It's a little, but I can't say it either," San'er said with a slight shake of his head.

"Oh! What do you see? Xiao Yue saw that San'er really made some discoveries, so she hurriedly asked.

"Shoes...... This person is not wearing shoes," San'er looked at Xiao Yue and said.

"San'er, this is what you found? I've seen it a long time ago! Although Zhang Renshan was in a hurry to leave, he also wanted to hear what San'er had seen, but when San'er said it, Zhang Renshan felt extremely disappointed.

San'er saw that Zhang Renshan reacted very much, and said: "You listen to me finish speaking!" This man is not wearing shoes, but his feet are stained with dry mud, I think this person should have stepped on the mud barefoot before, and then due to the high temperature of this summer, the mud on his feet was dried, and the clothes on this person's upper body were basically not buttoned up, but open and scattered, I guess he thought the weather was too hot so he did not button his shirt, the most important thing is his pants, two trouser legs rolled up to the knees, which is enough to show that this person must have been in a damp and watery place somewhere, I rolled up my pants because I was afraid of getting wet, and if this man died here, would it be necessary for him to have his clothes like this? I think he was trying to be killed and dumped here. ”

"Oh! No wonder you said at that time that this person should not die here, it turns out that this place is not the place where this person died, but the place where the body was thrown! Zhang Renshan thought for a while, and then said to San'er.

"That's not right! Little cub, have you ever wondered if this person was brought here by someone else? Xiao Yue looked at San'er and asked.

San'er also smiled and looked at Xiao Yue: "Of course, this is also possible, but you think, if this person was led here by other people and then killed, then why did he not wear shoes, not to mention these wild grasses around us in this place, they seem to be weak and weak, but in fact, these things are all sharp, and a slight scratch will leave a blood mark on the body, normal people will not know this, if you really want to say that when you get here, you will generally wrap your body tightly so as not to be scratched by these wild grass. But you think that the man just now not only opened his chest but also rolled up his trouser legs, this is definitely not a state of coming here. ”

"Fox San'er is right, these wild grass are very powerful, otherwise why would I go to chop and open the way!" Zhang Renshan looked at Xiaoyue Dao.

"Yes...... Is there such a possibility that the little cub was kidnapped here and then killed" Satsuki looked at the barren grass in the distance.

San'er shook his head slightly, looked around, and then said, "Unlikely." ”

"Oh! Why? Xiao Yue came to ask with interest, looking at San'er with interest.

"It's very simple, from the part of the road we walked to the dead man, we can see that if we really want to say that he was tied, then there will definitely be a lot of wild grass around him that will be trampled and broken, because tying up a living person and throwing away a dead person are absolutely different concepts, the living will struggle and scream, even if they want to kill him, this person will struggle to escape, this place is full of wild grass, as long as someone has stepped on it, it will leave traces, but you see when we arrived next to the dead man just now, the wild grass around us almost did not have any strange feeling, Only a large piece of it was pressed under him, which doesn't mean anything! San'er looked at Xiao Yue and explained.

Zhang Renshan also nodded and said, "How about the fox, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Xiao Yue looked sideways at Zhang Renshan and said, "It's not you who answered, why are you so happy!" ”

"I'm happy, what's the matter?" Zhang Renshan deliberately was angry with Xiaoyuedao.

San'er listened to the noise between the two and sighed, although he pushed out that this person did not die here, but if you want to know why he died, it is difficult, and after waiting for San'er's brain, he said to himself: "Forget it, don't worry about it for now, you will naturally know when the time comes." ”

"San'er, what you say is exactly the same as what the old man often says! Don't we have to wait for some fate! Zhang Renshan looked back at San'er and said.

San'er smiled and didn't speak, followed Zhang Renshan back to the place where the two came before, Xiaoyue looked up and said, "Okay, I should have asked, you should have seen it, the cub should go back now!" ”

"Hmmm! Let's go! San'er spoke, and then followed Zhang Renshan along the road that the two of them had chopped out before, and began to walk towards Qingshuipu......
