Chapter 223: Strange Connection
I was very anxious, I hardly made any stops on the road, day and night non-stop hurrying, the old man was very real, followed without a sound, and after two days, he was covered in ashes. ()
"Why are you doing this?" I was moved, but also a little uncomfortable, looked at the old wilt, and sighed.
"What's this, guys, they're all chicken thieves like Lao Lei, how can they be handled?" Lao Fuba was covered in dust, still happy, and said to me while walking: "Back then, when I was still a small ginseng seedling, I had a good relationship with our big black bear in Gada, if there were people nearby who put ginseng in the mountains, the big black bear would go out and blow them away, it was greedy, ran to steal honey, let the sting be a bag, I took it to find medicine, help each other, and live happily, better than anything else." ”
"The friendship is here, I understand it, you don't have to run with you, what age are you."
"You don't understand." Lao Fuba shook his head, for the first time in his confused little eyes, there was a trace of melancholy, and said: "Let's go over, the big black bear stole honey and stole too hard, I haven't stopped, I just took it to run a trip today, and I have to run again tomorrow, I ran more, I was upset, and later, the big black bear was old, he couldn't climb a tree, he couldn't steal honey, and he lay next to me every day, and then later, it died, I lived alone for so many years, and when you lived to this age, you will know, the people around you, the old one is one less, nothing is more important than this, In the years that followed, how many times did I think about it, and I dreamed of taking the big black bear to find medicine, but I didn't have a chance."
Lao Fuba's words touched me, the steps under my feet were faster, and the two of them rushed all the way to the vicinity of Lianhuan Mountain, from the last time Miao Yu was taken away from here to now, it has been more than half a month, but I still don't dare to be careless, and carefully take Lao Fuba over the first mountain next to the old road, lying on the top of the mountain and looking down. The dilapidated Dragon King Temple at the foot of the mountain has collapsed in half, and there is no human figure, and the traces of a great battle between the Seven Gates and the Side Gate Sanctuary at that time have been cleaned up.
At that moment, I can't say whether it was relief or nervousness, there was no one here, and I didn't know if my father was arrested? Or ran somewhere else. Lao Fuba and I slowly descended the mountain and searched around the Dragon King Temple to see if there were any noteworthy clues, but this place was cleaned up and searched for a long time and found nothing, so we had no choice but to expand the scope of search.
Walking at least a mile from the Dragon King Temple to the depths of the Lianhuan Mountain, the old man sniffled, squatted down and looked carefully, among a small piece of messy stones, he wiped off the layer of dust on it, and suddenly, a pool of dried blood appeared in front of him. It stands to reason that this place is far away from the battle group near the Dragon King Temple, and the blood is not splashed here.
There is no doubt that someone passed through here. I couldn't tell if it was my father or even the enemy who passed through here, but I had no clue at all, so I had to follow it like this. Lao Fuba is very sensitive to the smell of blood, even if the blood stains have dried up for a long time, as long as they are still there, he can slowly detect them when he settles his mind. The blood stains continued one after another, stretching out intermittently for a long distance.
After walking for more than ten miles, the blood stains could not be seen, no matter how hard Lao Fuba tried, he could not detect the slightest trace. Not far away, there was the sound of roaring water, a low waterfall in the mountains, splashing straight down. Lao Fuba and I drank some water here, and when we stood by the stream by the waterfall and looked up, there was a dark hole behind the water curtain. But the situation was unknown, and I didn't want to delay too much time, so I hesitated for a while, and decided to give up and continue to look deeper into the chain of mountains.
At this moment, the roaring sound of running water was mixed with a barely distinguishable sound, which was not loud, but it shook my heart. I vividly remember that during the fierce battle near the Dragon King Temple, the howling sound that came from the depths of the Lianhuan Mountain seemed to envelop the mountains and the world. The whistling sound was almost exactly the same as the sound at the moment. And as long as you feel it slightly, you can feel it, and the sound comes from the hole in the water curtain. I was going to give up, but at this moment, I can't help but revisit this unknown hole.
"Go in and have a look." I wanted to keep him outside, but he said he was running fast and rushing through the water.
Two people stood wet behind the water curtain, the entrance of the cave is in front of me, this is definitely a natural stone cave, I took out a flashlight to shine, the hole is actually very shallow, go into the maximum seven or eight meters to the end, there is nothing inside, only the whistling sound that has not completely disappeared, faintly echoing in the empty hole.
"Nothing?" The old man was confused and turned his head to look at me.
I scanned it carefully, and gradually, my eyes were cast on the lower right corner of the end of the cave, which was a small ditch attached to the corner of the cave, about a meter deep, and if I looked along this ditch, I would find that in the lower right corner of the end of the cave, there was a small hole, and the ditch extended from that hole.
This time it is obvious that the stone cave has not really reached the end, if you drill along the ditch, there may be other space, but the water hole in the corner at the end is very small, only allowing people to reluctantly drill through, now I don't know what the situation is inside, just drill, maybe there will be an accident. Lao Fuba and I were lying on the outside of the water hole, shining a flashlight inside, but the view was blocked and we couldn't see much. We discussed on the spot, Lao Fuba still had to hit his head and drill over, he had only one arm left, and I couldn't bear to stop it.
"I'm tough, nothing happens"
The dispute was not over, and suddenly, from the ditch on the other side of the water hole, a black thing floated over, the water in the ditch was very clear, this mass of things was very eye-catching, and the two of us were startled at the same time and took a step back. But as soon as the flashlight flickered, I could vaguely distinguish that it was a lump of clothes floating down the river.
"Someone's in there?"
I was surprised and delighted, and I raised my hand to fish up the clothes in the water, but as soon as my hand was stretched, the clothes jumped up and startled. I grabbed a corner of my clothes, shook it, and a ruler shook the long fish out of my clothes, and swam away quickly in the water.
When I shook off the clothes, the corners of my eyes jumped a few times, and there was indescribable excitement and joy in my heart, and at the same time there was deep nervousness. I recognize this dress, it is Jin Dashao's coat. I walked with him and Maitreya on the river beach for so long, and the three of them were like savages, wearing a piece of clothing from beginning to end, and they couldn't be more familiar with each other, and when they took the wet clothes and smelled them, there was a faint smell of oil.
I thought, it can't be such a coincidence, I just found here, and Jin Dashao's clothes floated here. Jin Dashao was a chicken thief and shrewd, so he was afraid that this piece of clothing would not attract my attention, and he specially wrapped a fish in it, which means that the people in the stone cave must have noticed that I was coming and wanted to contact him in this way.
But now that you know that I'm here, isn't direct dialogue more intuitive than this? I didn't think about it so much at the time, Jin Dashao and his father were trapped in the Dragon King Temple before, and if they found Jin Dashao's whereabouts, then their whereabouts would be clear. I quickly lowered my head, trying to see through the water hole.
"Daddy! Kim Dashao! Maitreya! You're all absent! If you are there, reply to it! "I couldn't see the movement over there, so I opened my throat and shouted. But the sound continued through the hole, and after two minutes of waiting, no response was received.
Things have become very strange all of a sudden, there is a weirdness that I can't figure out, whether it is my father or Pang Gouzi or Tang Baichuan Maitreya, even including Jin Dashao, they are all their own people, they have already noticed that I am coming, and they also gave a ball of clothes as a hint, but why don't you reply?
I sensed something was wrong, so I stopped calling and looked left and right, trying to think of something else. At this moment, from the narrow hole of water, a shoe floated down the water. I shook my hands and scooped up the shoes, and when I looked at them, I recognized them as the shoes that Maitreya had been wearing for a long time.
The shoes were soaked with water, and there was a crumpled piece of paper stuffed inside, and the water-soaked paper was gently spread out, and a few words were written on it crookedly, like a dog, and at first glance it was from Jin Dashao's hand. I didn't know the words, and when I saw the font, my forehead sweated, and I hurriedly pulled the old man. Lao Fuba didn't know much about words, but fortunately the words on the paper were not complicated.
Just a few words were written on the paper: Don't make a sound! Don't make a sound!
Although it was only a few words, when Lao Fuba read it out, it made me feel a heavy sense of urgency, and at the same time a strong doubt. The words on this piece of paper are obviously a warning, at least, I know that Jin Dashao and Maitreya must be in an unknown place behind the water hole, but why didn't he even dare to speak?
I'm really in a hurry, if I don't go into the water and pass through the water hole, I can't see through the situation on the other side of the water hole even if I try to see through this side, and when I receive the note, I don't dare to make a sound anymore, and I am in a hurry on this side of the water hole.
Just when he was restless, another shoe floated from the ditch, another pair of shoes on Maitreya's feet, and there was still half a piece of paper stuffed in the shoe, on which were written words. This time there are a lot of words, and Lao Fuba can't recognize them all, but the general meaning can still be seen clearly.
"I'm Jin Dashao! No paper! Not much to say! If you keep up any longer, you'll have to take off your pants and write for you! We haven't eaten in days! Hurry up, bring dry food and swim quietly down the ditch to save us! ”
