Chapter 533: Arriving at the mouth of the Yellow River
The fat man who was driving on the side, after hearing the conversation between me and Zhao Man, hurriedly asked me:
"I said, brother, what are you two talking about? What's really fake? ”
I looked at the fat man's anxious expression, and told the fat man the pages in my hand about the 'Yin Yang Island' in their original form.
After listening to me, the fat man said to me and Zhao Man:
"Don't say it, this thing is really not necessarily, how many unspeakable and unclear things we have encountered before, maybe it is still the real thing."
After Zhao Man heard the fat man's words, he continued his words and said:
"Let's not care if the above thing is true or not, the most important thing for us now is to find a gas station and fill up the tank first."
After hearing Zhao Man's words, the fat man subconsciously looked at the fuel gauge and found that there was really not much gasoline left in the car's fuel tank. I found a nearby gas station, and after filling up the car, the fat man drove on the road again.
On the way, I looked carefully at the yellowed pieces of paper in my hand again, and found that these pieces of paper were all about the fishermen's encounter with the 'Yinyang Island', and the specific location of the 'Yinyang Island' was not written at all.
Since there is no mention of 'Yinyang Island' and the location of the Yellow River, why did Zhao Man know that 'Yinyang Island' is near Huang's Hekou Town in Kenli County?
Thinking of this, I can't help but be a little puzzled, could it be said that Zhao Man has something else, hiding it from me and the fat man in his heart, and has never told us both?
I'm a straight person, I like to say something straight, I can't hold it down at all, I thought to myself, so I immediately turned around, looked at Zhao Man sitting in the back of the car and asked:
"Sister Zhao Man, I found that there is no record of the location of the 'Yinyang Island' on these pieces of paper, where did you determine that this 'Yinyang Island' is in Huanghekou Town, Kenli County?"
Zhao Man, who was sitting in the back seat, heard me suddenly ask her, first froze for a moment, and then looked at me and said:
"I ...... I saw it in the book "Strange Things and Personas of the Yellow River Before Liberation", in which I didn't tear off the page that recorded the specific location of 'Yinyang Island', didn't you see it? Zhao Man looked at me and asked rhetorically.
When I heard this, I remembered that after I turned to these pages about the record of 'Yin Yang Island', I saw that someone had torn it off, and I didn't look at it carefully, so I didn't care.
"I see, I really didn't pay attention." I nodded, and then asked Zhao Man:
"By the way, Sister Zhao Man, you also know me, I am a person who can't hide something, there is something I have always wanted to ask you."
"Just ask, but I can't promise to answer you." Zhao Man looked at me and said.
"My brother wants to ask if you have a boyfriend!" At this time, the fat man, who had been driving, suddenly interjected, making his words suddenly make the atmosphere in the car awkward. This shameless fat man, he can ask himself if he wants to, especially take me as a shield, this grandson is too inauthentic!
At this time, Zhao Man's face changed slightly after hearing the fat man's words just now, and then he shifted his gaze to the car window, but his mouth was informal and generous:
"I'm sorry, but I refuse to answer this question."
"Fatty, why don't you interject a word to die?!" I looked at the fat man and shouted.
The fat man smiled and said:
"Just kidding, I'm kidding, you guys keep ......"
"Sister Zhao Man, in fact, I have always wanted to ask you, why do you have to follow me and the fat man to find the 'Yin Yang Island' in the Yellow River?" I looked at Zhao Man and asked, this matter has always been pressing on my heart, and now I am becoming more and more sensitive because of Qiu Shasha, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that Zhao Man must have her own purpose in following me and the fat man to the 'Yin Yang Island'.
I don't resent her for having her own selfishness and purpose, I resent being deceived. I'm really scared of being deceived.
Zhao Man stared at me for a while before he spoke:
"Thirteen, do you suspect that I will be like Qiu Shasha, and suddenly turn against you, or is there someone behind me who is forcing me to go with you?"
"That's not it, I just can't figure it out, why do you have to follow me and the fat man." I said. In fact, if Zhao Man is forced by others, I don't believe this, this woman's temperament is too strong, just with her stubborn temper that will not be softened, who can still persecute her?
Wrong! Although Qiu Shasha and I haven't known each other for too long, I also know a little bit about her character, and her temperament is somewhat similar to Zhao Man, and it's not something that someone can force her if they want to. When Qiu Shasha died, she was clearly smiling, happy, and relieved. In other words, she is not afraid of death, if a person is not even afraid of death, then what else can force her?
Close relatives! Only relatives can persecute women with characters like Qiu Shasha and Zhao Man.
But as long as there are affectionate and righteous people, they would rather choose to die by themselves than see their relatives whose blood is thicker than water suffer any harm, it is difficult to say that the person who has been persecuting Qiu Shasha behind the scenes has always used her relatives as bargaining chips, so he has always used Qiu Shasha as a puppet to manipulate as he wants.
"Thirteen, if you really don't want me to follow you, or if you keep doubting me, then I'll go back myself." Zhao Man looked at me and said, at this moment her stubborn temperament came up again.
Seeing that Zhao Man was angry, I hurriedly apologized, and while apologizing to Zhao Man, I thought again in my heart: 'Alas! How can I become more and more sensitive and suspicious now, it seems that a person's experience can indeed change a person. ’
It's not like Zhao Man and Scarface didn't help me and the fat man before, they never asked for anything in return, and treated me as a good friend, but at this time, I suspected Zhao Man and secretly scolded myself for not being a thing.
"Sister Zhao Man, drink some water and dissipate your anger." As I spoke, I took out a bottle of mineral water from the car and handed it to Zhao Man.
Zhao Man stretched out his hand, snatched it away, unscrewed the lid angrily, drank several sips in a row, screwed the lid again, and threw it to me, it seems that she is still very angry at me for questioning her.
She can't be blamed for this, it's really hard to make people suspicious, although I apologized, but I still didn't feel well.
……
In this way, the car drove towards the Yellow River Estuary Town in Kenli County, Dongdian City is not close to Kenli County, and it has to be hundreds of miles away.
Fortunately, the fat man and Zhao Man drove in turns on the road, and at ten o'clock that night, we arrived at Kenli County.
That night, the three of us found a hotel in Kenli County and moved in.
After a night of nothing, early the next morning, we set off again from Kenli County to the town of Huanghekou in the east.
In less than two hours, we arrived at the town of Huanghekou, and asked some elderly villagers nearby, but still did not hear any legends about 'Yinyang Island'.
This couldn't help but make me feel a little frustrated, and Zhao Man, who was beside me, saw this and cheered me up:
"It doesn't matter, even if we can't inquire, now we know that the 'Yin Yang Island' is in the Yellow River channel near the mouth of the Yellow River, so it really can't be done, so we hire a fishing boat and go down to the river to find it, the place is so big, as long as we don't give up, there will always be a time to find it."
After hearing Zhao Man's words, I felt that what she said made sense, so I cheered up and continued to look for passers-by and villagers to inquire.
Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and when we asked the Nth old man, one of the old men who was smoking a dry cigarette squinted at the three of us and said:
"The tenders are going to find that 'Yin Yang Island'? You can't go there, so you'd better pull down where you came from and go back early. ”
After hearing the old man's words, Zhao Man took a step forward, looked at the old man and asked:
"Uncle, we definitely won't go, just because we are curious about the story of this 'Yin Yang Island', and I want to ask you, what kind of island is that 'Yin Yang Island', and where did it once appear?"
After the old man heard Zhao Man's words, he first smoked two puffs of dry tobacco, and after spitting out the smoke ring, he looked at Zhao Man and said:
"Girl, it's not me to scare the tenders, that 'Yin Yang Island' appeared in the river behind our village, and someone saw it ten years ago, but someone dared to go up, now, it's hard to say, that strange island hasn't appeared for a long time......"
