Chapter 19: Conspiracy
The third child got on the raft first, and just as I was about to sit together, Brother Xiao Ma grabbed me, leaned over the root of my ear and whispered, "Kind, the bird hugs tight." ”
I didn't react for a moment, what do you mean? Why did Brother Pony suddenly say such inexplicable things to me inexplicably? And it's so familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere
Just when I wanted to chew on the meaning of what Brother Pony said, my heart was mentioned, and in an instant, the whole person was completely blindfolded! It occurred to me that this was not the words on the note my dad had given me! At that moment, my scalp was numb again, and I gasped and was about to catch up and ask for clarification.
At this time, Brother Xiao Ma and the third child had already rowed to the middle of the pool on a raft, and I stood on the shore scratching my ears and cheeks in a hurry, almost not jumping down to catch up with them. How did this little brother know this? No one knows about this except for the crazy big and the third and the root old! Is this little brother friend or foe?
All of a sudden, all sorts of questions popped up. I took a deep breath, adjusted my emotions, and calmed down! I forced myself to calm down. My dad said that don't be in a hurry, the more urgent you are, the more accidents will happen.
"Second and second!" I looked up and saw that the third child was waving to me with one arm holding the rope ladder. "What a daze! Come here! "The old three.
"Right now!" I replied to the third child. The raft was tied with a rope and the other end was pressed with a stone, and I pulled the raft over and sat on it, paddling and thinking: Little Brother Ma should be friend and foe. If nothing else, let's just say that when he encountered the skeleton hornet, if he was an enemy, he would have left us and ran away.
Thinking about this, I feel better. Since it's a friend, it's easy to do, just ask later. I picked up speed and paddled towards the rope ladder.
Wait a minute
Why did Brother Pony avoid others when he said this? Does that mean he doesn't want others to know, what does he mean exactly? What exactly is he trying to hide?
Just thinking about it, the raft shook and arrived!
I tied the other end of the rope to the rope ladder and climbed up the rope ladder.
The entrance to the cave is on the shoulder of the mountain behind the waterfall, about one or twenty meters from the top of the mountain, and it is oval-shaped. Crazy is 1.78m tall, and there is a difference of fifty or sixty centimeters between the top of the cave mouth and the top of the cave entrance.
Crazy and the third stood at the entrance of the cave and waved my hand to urge me to hurry up, looking impatient. The rope ladder is on the right side of the hole, and the distance from the hole is about two meters, so it is impossible to climb directly into the hole.
When I climbed to the same height as the entrance of the cave, I grabbed the rope ladder with one hand and the uneven rocks on the stone wall with the other, and approached the entrance with a little force. It took me nearly ten minutes to get to this point, and the five fingers of my right hand were too strong, and some of the stones were very sharp, and a few cuts had been made, and there was a numb pain.
When the crazy big pulled me into the hole, my legs and stomach were trembling and weak, I lit a cigarette and smoked to ease my mind, my eyes swept around, wipe! What about the high four hands and the little pony?! I asked crazy.
He threw away the half-smoked cigarette and lit another cigarette before saying, "He said that he was going to explore the way, and told us to wait here for them to come back, and he also told him that he was not allowed to run around." After saying that, he stood up and shouted into the hole: "! When I'm a three-year-old, huh? Pathfinding is fake, I think, let's eat leftovers is true. ”
Crazy is like this, he has a straightforward personality, he says whatever he wants, and he doesn't know what to hide. I've been with him for a decade or two, and I've got a good deal out of his temper, and I still have a way of dealing with him.
So, I threw away my cigarette, pretended to be angry, stood up and pointed at his nose and scolded: "Don't be childish, there must be a reason for us to wait here, leftovers?" You don't want to think about who helped you solve the corpse poison in the first place! Even if you are told to eat leftovers, you have to swallow them too! ”
If you follow his temper, it will undoubtedly boost his arrogance, and he will be more energetic. Of course, this is only possible for me, not even the third child. If it's someone else, then there's nothing to say, roll up your sleeves and fight.
Sure enough, Crazy was yelled at by me like this, and instantly became a good cat, looked at me resentfully, and muttered quietly to the entrance of the cave and sat down with his back to us and sulked. When the third child saw this scene, he gave me a thumbs up, his face turned into a twisted smile, and he didn't dare to laugh out loud, and his whole body trembled.
I also sat down and rested against the stone wall, thinking, this little brother is deliberately avoiding me, right? Anyway, when he comes back, I'll have to ask.
Just thinking about it, the crazy suddenly 'oops', I thought something had changed, scared me into a spirit, and stood up to see what was going on. At first glance, the cave is still a cave, the waterfall is still a waterfall, the third child is still the third child, everything is calm, and nothing happens.
The third child and I both looked at the crazy big suspiciously, and I was angry at the crazy avenue: "What's the matter again?" Crazy obviously knew that we were frightened by his sudden shouting, and looked a little embarrassed, and then put on a serious face and said, "Er, there is a problem"
I thought he was angry about Gao Sishou's explanation again, and wanted to point at his nose and scold, but looking at his expression, it seemed that there was something really wrong. So he said, "Are you kid finished?" It's said that Gao Sishou must have a reason for doing this! ”
Who knows, when the crazy man heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, I'm not talking about this, I mean, there is a problem with the gun that Daddy Nong gave us!" Or rather, there is something wrong with Daddy Nong! ”
Daddy Nong? I had in my mind the thin little old man with a smile on his face all day long, and a kind face. "Impossible! Don't talk nonsense! Even if you have a problem, he is fine! I said angrily. How can you doubt Daddy Nong like that?
"I know you don't believe it, but that's the way it is." Madness shouted at the third child to take out the shell gun, and continued: "I wanted to tell you about this for a long time, but at that time, Ma Gui was repulsed, and I was too tired to fall asleep. Later, you woke me up and knew that I was going to start entering the hole, and I forgot about it when I was excited. ”
Then, the crazy big told the truth:
It turned out that after firing a few shots at the giant macucumber, Madman and I rolled on the spot. At this time, the third child had already rushed over, holding the shell gun that Daddy Nong had brought back, and wanted to retreat and enter to cook the Ma Gui. Unexpectedly, at such a critical moment, no matter how the third child pulled the trigger, the gun did not respond.
The third child was frightened at that time and stood there motionless. Ma Gui didn't care if he moved, stuck out his tongue, and rolled the third child into his mouth at once. At this time, the crazy bullet had been fired, and there was no other weapon on the body, and it was too late to reload the bullet.
However, the madness of the bare hands is undoubtedly a tickle for the huge Ma Gui. Fortunately, Brother Pony arrived in time, took two hunting knives, and after throwing them to the crazy one, he cut off Ma's tongue with one knife.
Hearing this, my suspicion of Little Brother Ma went again, and it was he who pulled us back from the brink of death again and again. I said why no one came to help me after I was taken away by Ma, and they didn't notice the situation on my side when they were helping the third child.
"Is it because the gun doesn't respond because it's too old, and it's not well maintained and cared for? What does that have to do with Daddy Nong? "I have such a good impression of Daddy Nong that I don't believe what Maddae says.
At this time, Crazy Da said a little helplessly: "Actually, I don't want to believe that Daddy Nong has a problem, after all, I have lived in good food and drink for so many days, and I am not a white-eyed wolf." Then he took the shell gun apart, pointed it to one place, and said, "See for yourself." ”
I don't know much about guns, I don't know much about being a soldier. This kid has an inexplicable love for guns, when Gen Lao just gave the flintlock pistol crazy, he didn't even let me touch it, he put it in his trouser pocket all day long, and from time to time he reached in and stroked it for a while, and his face would reveal a sense of satisfaction like only the heroine in a love action movie when it reached a certain level.
For this, I didn't bother him less, "Crazy, take it easy, be careful of misfire, don't turn two guns into one." At this time, Mad Da will shake his thighs very nervously and say, "I am willing, do you care?" ”
Although I have very little knowledge of the gun, it is not difficult for anyone who is a little careful to find that the spring connecting the trigger of the barge gun has been completely broken, and if you look closely at the fracture, you will find that it is obviously artificially shortened!
No wonder the third child didn't react no matter how he pulled the trigger, it can be said that if the spring was not replaced, the gun would have been scrapped, and you wouldn't be able to shoot the bullet even if you pulled out the flower.
"There is a problem with the gun, so it can't be said that Daddy Nong did it, right?" I still defended Daddy Nong, and I remembered one more thing, so I said more confidently: "Don't forget, when we encountered the skeleton hornet, we were all about to be wiped out, if it wasn't for Daddy Nong's shot that knocked the queen bee down!" ”
At this time, the third child also said: "I also think it's unlikely." There was no stronger evidence, so he had to be defeated, but he was still unconvinced: "Is there a problem, think about it yourself, I can't talk about you." After saying that, he returned to the entrance of the cave and sat down, his head drooping ~ pulling and shaking his head.
Listening to what the madman said, I looked at the third child and sat down to remember it carefully. When you think about it, something really isn't right. First, why did Daddy Nong come out single-handedly to find the hornet? No matter how accurate his marksmanship is, he can't deal with such a large swarm of bees alone, right?
Second, as soon as those ferocious skeleton hornets saw Daddy Nong, they "hula" and ran away. Could it be that Daddy Nong has a strange art? Moreover, when the hornets saw Daddy Nong appear, they were all like us, and they all froze for a moment, and then they ran away without a trace. Don't? Those hornets were raised by Daddy Nong?!
Thirdly, Daddy Nong went out in the morning when he went to ask us for guns, but he didn't come back until noon, so he could do things during this time. And the villagers couldn't have known that we were going to ask them for guns, so they couldn't have done it early.
No! No way! I don't dare to think about it anymore, I want to find all kinds of reasons to overturn my thoughts, but no matter how I think about it, the spearhead is directly aimed at Daddy Nong, and the little old man who is so kind and kind in my impression has suddenly become a demon with such a deep heart and a city, I can't accept it at all.
I shook my head, dispelling the heaviness in my heart. "Let's talk about it when the senior four hands come back!" I yelled at the madness. After that, close your eyes and rest.
Gao Sishou and Xiao Ma never came back, and they fell asleep unconsciously, and when they opened their eyes, the sky was completely dark, and there was no light in the darkness all around, and they didn't know when it was.
"Crazy three," I shouted. There was no response, and he shouted again, but there was still no response, only the rumbling of the waterfall. I thought they were all asleep, so I took off the flashlight hanging from my waist and shone it.
it! What about people?
