Chapter 289: The Wicked Man of Longtan
When Zhang Dashuai heard this, he was about to scold, Wu Zhiyuan rushed to the door of the room in one step, opened the door, and asked, "When did you run?" In which direction did you go? ”
"I don't know very well, he said he was going to the thatched house, but he didn't come out after going in for a long time, and when I went in to look for him, I found that the exhaust window of the thatched house was removed, and I should have escaped from there." Adjutant Wang replied nervously.
"Where is the hut? Take me there! Wu Zhiyuan said anxiously.
Adjutant Wang hurriedly agreed, guiding Wu Zhiyuan to run downstairs, Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly followed, and Zhang Dashuai's angry scolding came from behind him.
The two came to the barracks compound together, the thatched house is in the southeast corner of this courtyard, the location is remote, not inconspicuous at all, Wu Zhiyuan passed back and forth in this courtyard twice, never noticed that there is a thatched house here.
The space of the thatched hut is small, only enough for one person to enter the toilet, and there is a small wooden lattice window on the south wall, and the whole window has been completely removed, just enough to drill out one person. Wu Zhiyuan walked to the window, looked out, and the street in front of the marshal's mansion happened to be outside the window.
"His legs and feet are not dexterous, he can't run far, we will go out to chase him immediately, you chase to the east, I will chase to the west, if you catch up with him, take him back to the Marshal's Mansion, don't let him run again!" Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly instructed Adjutant Wang, who nodded again and again, and the two went out directly from the main gate of the Marshal's Mansion and parted ways at the gate of the Marshal's Mansion.
When dealing with the aftermath of the little ghost, Yu Yisu begged Wu Zhiyuan to let him go, but Wu Zhiyuan refused, it turned out that he had already planned to escape from then on. I only blamed myself for being careless and didn't keep an eye on him all the time, but this time the situation was really unexpected, and I couldn't take Yu Yisu with me when I went to Zhang Dashuai's study.
Wu Zhiyuan thought as he chased westward, his eyes shining along the way, and he carefully looked at everyone on the street, but he never found Yu Yisu's figure. Yu Yisu was penniless, and it was impossible for him to go into the restaurant and inn to hide, if he ran in this direction, judging from his footsteps, he should have caught up.
"Didn't he go west when he came out?" Wu Zhiyuan wondered in his heart, just as a pedestrian walked by, Wu Zhiyuan grabbed him and asked, "This big brother, have you seen a person who walks with a limp, looks very thin, and is about fifty years old?" ”
The pedestrian thought for a moment, and quickly nodded: "I saw it, just now." ”
Wu Zhiyuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Where did you see it?" In which direction did he go? ”
At the fork in the road, he turned and headed north, and he walked quite hurriedly. The pedestrian replied.
Wu Zhiyuan thanked him from afar and hurriedly chased after the fork in the road not far ahead. As soon as he lowered his head and found that he was still holding the brocade box given by Zhang Dashuai, he stuffed the brocade box into his arms, the night pearl in this brocade box was priceless, and he had to find an opportunity to return it to Zhang Dashuai in the future.
At the fork in the road, Wu Zhiyuan turned directly to the north, the flow of people on this street is sparse, there are only buildings on both sides of the road, there is a river on the west side, the willows on both sides of the bank are still in the air, although the willow leaves are withered, but there is still the charm of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The river flows gently, and I don't know where the source comes from.
Wu Zhiyuan had no time to enjoy the scenery, chased all the way along the river, chased more than two miles to the north, and did not find Yu Yisu's shadow, and did not find other forks in the road after chasing all the way, could it be that Yu Yisu jumped into the river and escaped?
"Yu Yisu is scheming, could it be that he colluded with that pedestrian to shake me?" Wu Zhiyuan's doubts became more and more serious, and he was thinking about whether to go back to find it, when he suddenly found that the small river on the side had come to an end, and the river turned westward, so it could be seen that the source of the river was in the west.
Wu Zhiyuan looked west along the river and saw a broken stone tablet standing not far from the west, because it was too far away to see what words were engraved on the stone tablet.
Wu Zhiyuan walked to the stele and found that the stele had been damaged over the years, the top of the stele was broken in half, and there were two staggered cracks in the middle, but the words engraved on it were very clear. ”
"Five Dragon Ponds?" Wu Zhiyuan involuntarily read out the words on the stele, it turned out that the storyteller's story told about the Five Dragon Pond, in reality, there is really this place!
"Could Ju'er already be waiting for me here?" Wu Zhiyuan suddenly remembered the agreement with Ju'er, so he hurriedly bypassed the stele and ran west along the river.
The Five Dragons Pond is very large and has an intricate layout, including many springs and rocks, so it is impossible to see the whole picture at a glance. The first thing Wu Zhiyuan saw was that the dragon's head carved in five stone was extended from several boulders, the dragon's mouth was all wide open, and five water columns sprayed out from the five dragon's mouths, forming five waterfalls of the same size, under the waterfall was a bottomless pool, this waterhole was extremely large, but there was no tributary, and the pool water did not overflow, presumably the pool water flowed away from the underground waterway.
Wu Zhiyuan turned around the waterhole, and did not find Ju'er's figure, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, and turned to the back of the boulder, but unexpectedly found that there were several waterholes dotted not far behind the boulder, and some of the waterholes had water columns gushing out from time to time, which seemed to be underground fountains.
Wu Zhiyuan grew up in a mountain village since he was a child, and the water he has seen the most is the spring water flowing from the spring in front of the lion in Longshan Mountain, and he has never seen so many bottomless pools, let alone springs in the pools. At this time, I couldn't help but be curious, walked to the edge of the waterhole and looked at the spring in the middle, this look couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that this waterhole was not only vigorous, but also a large group of carp, those carp were mostly red and yellow carp, and they were not afraid of people, and when they saw Wu Zhiyuan walking to the edge of the pool, they immediately gathered to him, and seemed to welcome his arrival.
Looking at these cheerful red carp koi, Wu Zhiyuan recalled in his mind the story told by the storyteller about Qin Qiong's Mansion, and couldn't help but feel funny, if there were still people living in the pond, how could these carp live so happily? I'm afraid it has been eaten up a long time ago. Wu Zhiyuan shook his head, turned around and walked the way he came.
Just after walking a few steps, he suddenly heard a sound of "rustling" from behind the big stone not far from the south head, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel a tightening heart: "Is it Ju'er?" After thinking about it, he felt that it might be Yu Yisu or some other animal, so he clenched the peachwood sword in his hand and wanted to go over to see what was going on.
The sound of "squirming" stopped abruptly, as if he knew that someone was approaching him. Wu Zhiyuan held his breath and condensed, walked quietly to the big stone step by step, then bypassed the big stone, quietly looked behind him, and couldn't help but gasp.
I saw a tall man in black with his back to Wu Zhiyuan, sitting cross-legged behind the boulder, and Wu Zhiyuan was familiar with the wide robe.
"Oops, how is he?" Wu Zhiyuan's heart tightened again, and he was about to turn around and leave quietly, but at this moment, the person behind the big stone said coldly: "Since you're here, don't leave!" ”
It turned out that he had already discovered it, Wu Zhiyuan saw that the situation was not good, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he ran away, and at this moment, a black shadow flashed above his head, and then the person fell in front of Wu Zhiyuan, just blocking his way.
