That night, the grasshopper and the old man disappeared inexplicably.

Jiang Yuan and I went out to look for it at about three o'clock in the middle of the night, and we didn't see any trace until the next morning, but we found a group of strange people wandering outside a cave.

I pulled Jiang Yuan to hide behind a big rock and looked around.

"You say, the gnats and the old man were caught in the cave by them." I asked.

Jiang Yuan looked at the other side expressionlessly, was silent for a moment, and said: "No, these people are wearing chemical protective suits, but they don't look like official people, it is very likely that a certain force is operating here." ”

I said, "Then should we go over and have a look?" ”

Jiang Yuan sat down with his back against the big stone and said, "You don't have to go, I'll go." ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately reluctant, "Now it's just us brothers, you say you just in case, I mean, I'm scared alone." ”

Jiang Yuan smiled helplessly, "Will Boss Xiao also be scared?" ”

I listened to his tone of voice not quite right, it was very different from when he called my brother before, and now he felt a little like he was in a lonely mountain village.

"You, is there something going on? We're really brothers in trouble now, and you can't hide it from me. ”

Jiang Yuan stood up and patted the soil on his body and said, "I think of something, you can go." ”

I didn't understand and asked, "Go, where are you going?" ”

Jiang Yuan handed me a bank card, "Go back to Beijing, there's nothing for you here." ”

I looked at the black bank card, laughed a few times, sat on the big rock, looked up at the sky, and said: "I followed you to Yunnan, all the way to today, my brother is missing, I myself was injured, I have experienced so many things, for what, in order to help you get the golden phoenix Zhaowen Yubi you want, but now, not only did we not get anything, but lost our troops, and now you are alone, but you let me go, you say you are not stupid." I'll tell you the truth, if you let me go in Gushan Village, I might really go, but now, there is no door, Lao Tzu just doesn't want you, but also to seek justice for himself, I can't take this shot in vain, this is not a matter that money can solve. ”

I said a bunch of words that didn't match the preface, in fact, Jiang Yuan understood what I wanted to express, and I also understood that it was for my good that he let me go, and everything was very clear by now, this is a scam.

The force behind Jiang Yuan is also trying to get rid of him while using him, probably because he already has some roots in the rivers and lakes, and rash action will cause some disputes, so he went around such a big circle, wanting to use this opportunity to uproot him and his forces.

Jiang Yuan saw that I refused to accept his bank card, nor did he agree to leave, let alone accept his advice, so he stood silently by the stream in desperation, while I sat on the rocky beach behind him, and neither of them spoke again.

At noon, Brother Li and Laiwa'er came to call us back, and he said that someone wanted to see us.

I asked him who the person was, and Brother Li said that the man refused to say his name, and said that he must see Jiang Yuan.

I looked at Jiang Yuan and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Jiang Yuan said: "I don't know, my cronies have died in the fight in the past few years, and the only few remaining people have been brought to Yunnan by me this time, and now"

I knew that he was uncomfortable, so I waved at Old Brother Li and said, "Let's go back, you must keep that person." ”

Old Brother Li nodded, "Then hurry up, that person is in a hurry." ”

I nodded in agreement, hooked Jiang Yuan's shoulder, and said as I walked: "Okay, look at you rich second generation, you usually can't drag it, why can't you bear it so much, wait a minute, look at your Brother Fang Zi, if it is really those grandsons, Lao Tzu will shoot him." ”

From afar, I saw a person sitting in the yard, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, that is called a strong one, he is wearing a camouflage vest, and the exposed shoulder part can be clearly seen to have tattoos, but the tattoo pattern is blocked part, and it is not real.

I grabbed Jiang Yuan and hid behind a rock, stretched out my head to look at it for a while, and asked him, "Do you know?" ”

Jiang Yuan said: "I don't know, I've never seen this person." ”

I began to have some suspicions, this person wanted to see Jiang Yuan by name, but Jiang Yuan didn't know him, there was a cat in the middle, and one of these two people must be lying.

I curled up behind the stone and weighed it, and said, "You wait here, I'll go up and see, wait for my signal." ”

Jiang Yuan wanted to say something, but he still hesitated, and when I saw that he had nothing to say, I got up from behind the rock, straightened my clothes, and walked back to the wooden house as if nothing had happened.

As soon as I pushed open the courtyard door, before I could speak, I saw the tattooed man walking towards me, and his facial expression was so serious that I felt that the temperature around me had dropped below zero in an instant.

He bowed deeply and said, "Hello, Mr. Jiang?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and said in my heart, this girl didn't know Jiang Yuan, "cough" twice, and said, "It's me, may I ask who you are?" ”

The tattooed man took out his business card and said, "Tian Zhong." ”

I took the business card and muttered, "Tian Zhong? I don't think I've heard this name anywhere. ”

When Brother Li saw me coming back, he carried a plate with a few mountain fruits in it, and said, "Why are you alone, what about the little brother?" ”

I took two mountain fruits and handed them to the tattooed man, saying, "and I'll be back in a while." After speaking, he turned around and asked Tian Zhong to sit down, "How did Mr. Tian find here, is there something wrong?" ”

Tian Zhong put down the mountain fruit I gave him, took out a notebook and put it in front of me, and said, "I am entrusted by someone to wait for you here, this is handed over to you, my task has been completed." ”

I looked at this notebook, there was some dark brown on the leather cover, and I felt that this notebook was a little old, so I smiled and said, "Mr. Tian Zhong, please forgive me, you and I don't know each other, how can I believe what you say?" ”

Tian Zhong said: "Whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with me, I have already brought something, farewell." ”

After speaking, he stood up and walked away without looking back, I saw that his steps were very solid, not like a void, he should really want to leave, Brother Li wanted to stop him, but I stopped him.

I kept looking at him until he disappeared from my sight, and then gave Jiang Yuan a signal to let him come back, Jiang Yuan came back and saw the notebook on the table and asked, "He gave it to you?" ”

I nodded, sat down and lit a cigarette, and said, "He said that he was entrusted to you, and as I expected, this person really has a problem, he doesn't know you, but he can get the information that you are here in such a short time, in my opinion, this place is not safe." ”

Jiang Yuan was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked me, "What kind of place is this?"

To be honest, I was also stunned at the time, Jiang Yuan saw that I didn't speak, and asked again: "I remember, we fell into a big hole with that bronze tree, but we woke up in the cave." ”

I frowned and said, "Go ahead." ”

Jiang Yuan glanced sideways at the huge mountain cross-section opposite the wooden house and said, "In the process of our fall, there was a brief blank in my consciousness, and I think you are the same, right?" ”

I probably understood what he meant, to be honest, from yesterday to today, I have never dared to think about this problem, and now Jiang Yuan brought it up first, and I can't help but face it, looking sideways at the old Brother Li, he is boiling hot water by the stove at the moment, and there is nothing unusual.
