The two of them stopped along the riverbank, surrounded by the illusion of vibrant vegetation, covered in dead ashes.

The fat man regretfully sprinkled the water in his palm back into the river, reluctantly looked at it a few times, and said unwillingly: "The water quality is a little worse, but the fish can live in the water source, Lao Tzu doesn't understand why he can't drink it." ”

Balls of light formed on the surface of the river, swaying slowly and slowly climbing upward, and occasionally a few swimming fish popped out of their heads to breathe on the surface of the water.

However, Zhu Beichen told the fat man that the entire canyon was filled with an unusual atmosphere, and his intuition told him that all life here was the life of the dead world. If you weren't hungry, you might not even catch a fish.

The banks of the river are lined with smooth stones, scattered with a faint layer of white powder, much like the imagination caused by lime deposits.

The two gathered together to discuss the next travel arrangement, the focus was to find Han Qingxin, and the next thing was naturally to cross this seemingly unclimbable rock wall and go to the top of the canyon opposite.

The scenery in the canyon is stunning, with the sun hanging in the sky and "clouds" floating in the sky. The two of them who had experienced the fall from a high altitude knew that it was not a cloud, but layers of cotton wool suspended in mid-air, imitating the natural light source formed by the ground and the sky scene.

If the scenery depicted by the brush is cloudy, although it is lifelike, it always gives people a sense of unreality.

The sun was setting in one direction, and the time of the day in this small world was approaching, and the cliffs in the distance were all overshadowed, and the night was about to fall.

"Hey, I said. You can't fall to death in this place, and that girl is much better than us, maybe she is hiding from the grilled fish in some corner. Speaking of grilled fish, the fat man couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth, he couldn't swim, otherwise he would go into the water and touch a few tails.

After walking a long distance along the mouth of the river, the sound of the water was much quieter at night, and the night was about to fall down. In the dark environment of the deep canyon, there is something hidden that the two of them do not understand, and the defensive tool that can be taken out at hand is only a small knife held by Zhu Beichen.

He tried the flashlight, and when he fell down the valley, he fell into the water, and when he fished it up again, it was already unscrewed, and the battery was almost gone, so he simply discarded it.

"If it doesn't work, I'll have to find a place to make do with it for the night." Zhu Beichen felt tired, and his strong drowsiness was magnified several times at this time, and he buried his head and found a flat ground to sleep.

As the dark curtain approached, the surrounding scenery fell into a dead silence, and the fat man nodded if there was anything to illuminate around the two, eager to lie down and relax.

Walking to the side near the platform, they found a concave wall to hold on, and the two of them sat down on the spot.

The canopy of heaven was completely darkened, and it was already dark as far as the eye could reach, and there was not a trace of light in the field of vision, and even each other's eyes could not be seen clearly.

The fat man was a restless man, and he searched for the topic and said, "You just jumped down, and we followed, how can you still touch a fish in such a short time and play barbecue?" ”

A casual sentence, the fat man himself thought about it for a long time before he reacted, and he couldn't say it at all in terms of time, and he couldn't understand it.

The height of the canyon is a fixed value, and the time when the three of them fell should be the same, Zhu Beichen squinted his eyes and was about to fall asleep, but when he heard it, he had to half-straighten up and replied vaguely: "How do I know." Coming down from above, I felt like I was on the ground in half a minute. ”

He didn't pay much attention to himself, and just lay down to rest, but the fat man couldn't do it anymore, so he pounced on his shoulders and dragged him to sit up again.

"What, half a minute, the thin man flies faster or something. I felt like it was at least a minute or more. The fat man looked surprised, and always felt that this detail had to be clarified.

was dragged violently, Zhu Beichen angrily shook off the fat man's strong hand, "What kind of nerves, I waited for almost half an hour to come down before I saw you swallow slowly, who knows if you are inflated all over your body, and it falls slower than normal people." ”

The fat man's body stiffened, his expression was a little cramped and uneasy, and there was a difference in the time it took for the two to come down, does it mean that the time used by Han Qingxin was also different. Is she still floating in mid-air? Obviously, what is happening here cannot be explained by common sense.

The solemn atmosphere lasted for a few short minutes, a quiet environment, and a silent night. Zhu Beichen slept with his back to the fat man for a while, and when he saw that there was no movement behind him for a long time, he somehow remembered the Jiuqu River, remembered the winding river channel, and even this canyon was very familiar.

Impossible, the two places are separated by thousands of miles, how can they run to the Jiuqu River Valley.

Strangely, in this environment, mosquitoes can easily breed at the right temperature, but tonight there is not half a mosquito to disturb them.

"Fatty, fat. You're still there? There was no voice behind him, he was startled, he was completely sleepy, and the fat man would not disappear quietly.

The dagger rested just below his right shoulder, within reach.

Zhu Beichen touched the dagger, really a little worried, and turned to face a pale unfamiliar face.

Everything is normal, and the moment he was about to turn around, the fat man slowly spoke, "What are you yelling, you are thinking about the problem." ”

Almost scared to death, Zhu Beichen breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and sat up. I can't feel at ease with this fat man in my heart, especially the silent scene just now, and my sleepiness is completely gone.

The breeze on the riverside blew gently, and Zhu Beichen faced the fat man, with one left hand on the dagger, "Fatty, let me ask you a few questions." ”

After calming down a little, he decided to find out the origin of this fat man, as a writer, the fat man's cognition and experience far exceed that of ordinary people, and it is a time bomb to always carry with him.

If you don't have a conflict of interest one day, you will stab yourself in the back.

The fat man's figure was completely hidden in the dark, but his expression at the moment was mostly complicated, "You ask, I know you two have been suspicious of me." ”

Zhu Beichen has studied the details thoroughly, and is better at observing people's words and deeds. It is only in two situations that a person speaks in this tone.

First, it's when I plan to tell honestly.

In addition, he is ruthless and plans to have a showdown, which he tells the truth in this situation, but it is very likely that it will be a life-and-death struggle after the conversation.

Because, for a dead person there is no longer any need to hide any secrets.

And, now that Han Qingxin is not around, I don't know the depth of the fat man, Zhu Beichen really has no chance of winning this fat man.
