Chapter 116: 5-5 Native Homeland
"Uncle...... Uncle~! ”
Li Yiji woke up with sleepy eyes, and found that he had slept directly until dawn with his back to the tree at night, and the firewood in front of him had long been extinguished, but Coco sat in front of him, looking refreshed, pointing to the duffel bag not far away, and smiling, "Uncle, look, what is that." ”
"Luggage." Why is the zipper open......
"It was closed last night." Coco smiled.
My uncle walked over and said, "The dry food is scattered." ”
"There are groups of monkeys in the trees." Coco smiled.
Uncle looked up, "Tsk! I forgot! The last time I came, I was stolen by this group of monkeys. ”
"Last night was your vigil." Coco continued to smile.
The uncle looked down and saw Coco's unfathomable smile......
"I have a last word." Uncle said.
“………… Kill you and sacrifice to the grave! "King Coco was furious.
Today, Uncle Wood's breakfast is eaten.
――――――――――――――
Li Yiji estimated to walk for three or four hours yesterday, but in fact walked for more than five hours, and finally her uncle motioned for her to get off the horse before Coco was about to lie on the horse's back and sharpen her tail vertebrae.
"There is only a small road from the front, and the horses can't get through, not far." The uncle tied the horse to a tall tree beside him, and Coco looked around, it looked like a perennial deserted post station, and he could vaguely distinguish the dilapidated canopy and the wide well not far away.
"Well," reminded my uncle, seeing that she had been standing by the well, "be careful of slipping down to feed the frogs." ”
"Then I can only kiss the frog and hope that he will become a prince who can climb the wall of the well." Laughable.
Backpack, open the way.
Needless to say, the mountain road is thorny, and the lack of exercise of the coco children of the dead otaku at two o'clock every day is needless to say, the most difficult thing is the uncle's non-stop lectures on archaeological science, "Coco, the murals in the tomb can't be touched, that one is more valuable than you...... Coco, do you know that you have to cover your nose and mouth when you open the museum? …… Coco, you can't shoot casually in the tomb, bullets are easy to bounce. ”
"Fly ......" Coco was panting and intermittent.
"Where are the flies?"
Coco didn't have the strength to talk nonsense, pointed to his uncle's face, and then turned around and continued to crawl forward.
Uncle Di, who had noble teacher feelings, felt deeply sad, and silently thought in his heart, "Dead child, disobedient, go back and kill and eat." ”
"Uncle...... I heard ......" Coco's weak voice came.
Well, I didn't say anything......
"If you don't say a word, you will scold me in your heart." Coco laughed, and then suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Her uncle walked up to her, and there seemed to be a low buzzing sound in her ears.
“…… Fly. Coco muttered.
"Hey, you're enough." The uncle thought that the little girl was still talking about him, and said angrily.
Coco didn't answer him, turned and rummaged through the grass on the side, brushing aside a pile of dead branches not far away, the density of flies gathering skyrocketed, and under the cover of the dead trees, a corpse lay face down on the ground.
"Last night's gunshots." The uncle turned the body over with a stick.
Turning around, Coco had already put on gloves and a mask from her bag, and walked in to check the body, "Twenty-something, male, shot in the chest." Coco pulled open her clothes and carefully examined the traces of the wound, and tried to bend the corpse's elbow again, "The time of death is not long, this should be the gunfire last night, and there is no tool to measure the temperature of the liver, and there is no way to determine the specific time...... Uncle, why are you hiding so far away? ”
At this time, the uncle was already a few meters away and covered his nose with a handkerchief, looking independent, "Well, let's see, does he have calluses on his hands?" ”
Coco looked at the corpse's two hands, "It's clean, but it's rough, it's not an office person, but there are no obvious calluses." ”
"It's not a tomb robber," the uncle squinted his eyes from afar, "people who often use the Luoyang shovel won't be without calluses." ”
Coco wanted to laugh when he saw him, "Hey, haven't you seen a corpse in archaeology?" ”
The uncle looked up at the sky, "Zombies, the friendly society has seen a lot, this kind of fresh, I haven't seen it." He didn't forget to add, "Uncle, I'm a timid citizen." ”
Coco was about to touch it directly with the gloves that had examined the corpse, and Uncle Liangmin hurriedly retreated......
"Stop! Little Coco, don't make trouble, don't make trouble, the killer guy may still be nearby! Uncle said with a smirk.
Coco looked back at the corpse on the ground, and took off his gloves, "I don't have any documents on my body, maybe I was thrown away, I'm only in my early 20s, it's a pity that I've taken a road of no return, I'll take a photo, and when I go down the mountain, I will contact the nearby public security bureau to confirm my identity among the missing people." ”
"But he's wearing clothes from the neighborhood." The uncle pointed to the corpse with his jaw.
"Huh? What do you call nearby clothes? ”
"We are in the Central Plains, little Coco, the style of dressing here is different from your in the metropolis, this kid is wearing the standard outfit of a young businessman at the foot of the mountain, you see his clothes, is there four inner pockets? There are also trouser pockets, which are two layers inside and outside, with a hidden opening, and the merchants in this area like such clothes, which is easy to hide money, and the habit of ancestors. ”
Coco had a suddenly realized expression, and her uncle teased her, "Look at this expression that I haven't seen the world, my uncle took you out to have a long experience, right?" ”
Coco turned around and smiled, and the uncle didn't see it well, turned around and wanted to run, but took a step slower, and the gloves that had touched the corpse had been stuffed into his jacket pocket.
"Woo...... Bad boy, bad boy......" Uncle was very complaining.
――――――――――――――
Seven turns, eight bends and twelve ways, when Coco was completely lost in the leaves of the forest, Li Yiji motioned for her to stop, Coco stood up straight and panted, looking up at the surroundings, on one side was the way to come, and on the other side was the stout old locust tree at the end of the road.
While fiddling among the plants whose names Coco could not be named, my uncle said to the people behind him, "If you turn around and come out and get separated from me, remember to run in the opposite direction to the old locust tree and the big rock behind you, that road is quite obvious in the deep mountains, and all the way down is the post station where we stopped just now, and we will talk about it somewhere." ”
At this time, Coco didn't understand the meaning of his uncle's words, although the old fox didn't know what would happen next, but it had already left Coco with a variety of ways to retreat, and then Coco slowly remembered these details in that dark night, thinking of how much Li Yiji had made preparations in secret to protect himself from all possible dangers.
Behind the bushes was a very inconspicuous large rock, and after the uncle tinkered with the edge of the stone for a while, he stood up straight and stared silently at the stone in front of him. Coco sensed something unusual in his body language, and before she could ask, her uncle said it himself, "Someone opened the door." ”
"You mean those people went in last night?" It turned out to be a big stone and a door, so magical.
Uncle's voice sounded lower than usual, "Only the people of our family know how to open this door. ”
"Then you know who it is......"
Coco was only halfway through his words, and his uncle froze, suddenly lowered his body, and pulled Coco to the side, but when he turned around, he had already seen the muzzle of the gun.
"Eh! Own! Own! Don't~" Uncle turned his face at a speed like turning a book, and at this moment he has changed his stupid appearance with a sneer.
The man with the gun not far away stared at them motionlessly, but the other person who appeared next to him hesitated to speak, "Li...... Li Yiji? ”
My uncle squinted and muttered, "The road is narrow, Coco, look, this is the brother who caused me to take refuge in Europe." ”
...... that caused you to take refuge in Europe? Is that the fellow who reported you at the archaeological institute? Wait a minute...... Now all the people in the archaeological institute are armed with guns?
"Why are you here!" The man with a scholarly face on the opposite side lifted his glasses in surprise, as if he was afraid that he had seen the wrong person.
The uncle tilted his head and whispered to Coco, "This person's name is Zhang Huan, a nerd, decent, archaeology is his life, but the expressionless person next to him doesn't seem to be a good person." ”
Before Zhang Huan and the gun-wielding man next to him could come over, a roar rang out from behind them. "Old thief Li!"
The leaves rattled and moved, and a man stood out from the bushes not far away, and this man seemed to be strangely excited when he saw his uncle, "I guess it's you!" Eh, you can't accumulate some virtue and leave something for your juniors! He said and glanced at Coco behind his uncle, "What are you bringing the girls for?" Are you going to get married in a thief's hole!? ”
"Go!" Uncle has changed his sneering face and returned to the normal state of smiling rather than smiling.
"Acquaintance?" Coco looked at the man across from her, and then at her uncle.
"Coco, this is a leopard, and it is also our Li family, my nephew, that is, your cousin." The uncle turned back to her, blinking without leaving a trace. Coco immediately understood that she couldn't reveal her true identity in front of these people, which meant that her uncle didn't trust them.
"Come less, old thief Li!" The leopard stood not far away, smiling at the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile at the corners of his eyes, "I don't dare to call you an uncle, but you ran out of the village with the status of the eldest grandson of the long house, and you don't return to the clan once in a few years, I wait to see how the great elder will clean you up when you go back!" The leopard didn't have a gun in his hand, but there were two flashes of light as he walked under the leg of his trousers, and Coco had a gut feeling that he had a knife hidden under his feet.
"Zhang Huan!" Uncle shouted, "You're good at it, huh?" Ate and slept with the tomb robbers? Who has sworn to the heavens, and the thief who robbed the tomb, you are not alive and dead, and who must live on the same planet? ”
Zhang Huan's face turned blue, and he pouted and muttered something, but he didn't hear it clearly.
Beside him stood the man with a dark face, pointing at their muzzle motionless.
The leopard waved his hand back to his uncle's gaze, "Eh, don't shout, tell me, who is this woman?" ”
Coco blinked, pretending to be innocent.
Uncle blinked and said frankly: "She is the illegitimate daughter left by your third uncle outside, what is your third uncle's character~ Everyone knows it, and I only found out this girl this year that she is from our clan." ”
The leopard glanced at Coco, and it seemed that he couldn't tell the truth from the falsehood, "Then you can come if you want to come, what are you bringing her for?" ”
"Leopard," the uncle pointed to the rocks behind him, "have you been in?" ”
The leopard nodded.
"Have you walked that path?" The uncle's words were incomprehensible, but she could see that the leopard understood, and the original half-smirk turned into a frown. The leopard pointed at Coco with his chin, "What does it have to do with her?" ”
Uncle looked back at Coco, "You can't go that way, and neither can I, and anyone who walks that way is either crazy or left their lives there," the uncle said and paused, looking back at Coco, as if he was afraid that she would resist.
Coco looked at him lightly, and his heart trembled slightly when he guessed the answer, but he didn't say a word.
"But she could." Uncle said with a smile.
