Chapter 5 The Attic
I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, the person next to Jiang Yuan was gone.
I rushed over and looked left and right, and at four or five o'clock in the morning there was no one on the square, and I looked at the nearest building to us, and although it was possible to hide, I was sure that the time I saw this person and his disappearance would never take more than five seconds, and it was unlikely that five seconds would disappear from my eyes.
"Who was that guy just now?"
Jiang Yuan looked up at me, "No one." ”
"No way, I obviously saw a man sitting next to you just now, and besides, he kept looking at me, looking at me very gloomily."
Jiang Yuan looked around helplessly, then stood up and stuffed his phone into his pants pocket, and said as he walked, "It's time, let's go." ”
I still followed him suspiciously, and said that you are coming anyway, so I will follow and see, whether it is to leave Beijing during this time, calculate the time, and there is still time for the agreement with Qianyu.
It took three or two taxis to get to the place, which is a "village" that I can't name, and in Chongqing dialect, it is a place of ditches and ditches.
The journey down the road through moss and chicken poop was extremely difficult, and I almost fell into the garbage heaps on both sides of the alley several times.
"I said Young Master Jiang, you have pity on me, a follower, tell me what you are doing here?"
Jiang Yuan walked very carefully, and it could be seen that he was also afraid of falling, and he didn't stop or look back after hearing my words, "You won't believe it when I told you, it's better for everyone to meet in person." ”
I leaned against the wall behind me and carefully walked down the stone steps of the mountain road, saying as I went: "Who will live here, besides, you yourself touch your conscience and say, from the time we know you to the present, I don't believe what you say." ”
After speaking, he didn't forget to add, "How long is it, this has been going down, and I have seen the vegetable field." ”
Jiang Yuan stood impatiently and looked back at me, pointed to a wooden building in front of him on his left and said to me, "It's here." ”
I looked at the huge "black shadow" in front of me and smiled bitterly, "What are you doing?" That's it. ”
Jiang Yuan ignored me, and walked down the stone steps carefully in the weeds, and disappeared in front of me after a few steps.
How to describe this place, it is like at the foot of the mountain on the back of the mountain, with mountains on three sides, and then surrounding this haunted house, in front of which there is only a naturally formed path, overgrown with weeds, and it is close to a person's height.
I was terrified of this place, I couldn't get any sunlight in the daytime, and it was cold and cold, and I really felt like I was underground.
Using both hands and feet, I finally arrived in front of this "haunted house", Jiang Yuan stood facing the door of the wooden house with his mobile phone, I leaned over to take a look, an image had appeared on the phone, and a red punctuation point on the map was flashing and moving.
"This house is very old, how did you know about this place?" I asked.
Jiang Yuan looked at the flashing red dots on his phone and said, "This place was told to me by Zhang Yang." ”
"Him?" I knocked my hand on the blackened wooden pillar outside the house and said, "What did he bring us here?" ”
Jiang Yuan followed the red light spot on his phone and walked through the weeds, to be honest, I really didn't want to follow, because I saw that there would be some small insects of all colors crawling around on those weeds from time to time, and what I was most afraid of was these little bugs, Scorpio with Virgo characteristics.
A black shadow suddenly appeared in the weeds, and Jiang Yuan immediately stood in place when he saw it, shouting loudly: "Qianjue, you come out." ”
As soon as I heard it, "Huh? ”
Jiang Yuan looked back at me and said, "Help." ”
"Help what?"
"Shout."
"Oh."
A super-decibel shout resounded through the valley, "Qianjue." ”
After shouting for a while, he felt a little hypoxic, held his knees with both hands, and looked at Jiang Yuan panting, "You're not mistaken, Qianjue?" Why didn't this guy go back to Beijing to find us? ”
Jiang Yuan was also a little hypoxic, turned to look at me and said, "It's not him, but you can call his name to find this person." ”
I was a little confused, "You mean that we are trekking through mountains and rivers to find someone, and we have to call Qianjue's name to find him." ”
Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "That's what Zhang Yang told me. ”
Although I had 99 percent doubts in my heart, I still believed one percent, and in the end, I was still on the side of that 1 percent.
It was close to noon, and I looked up at the sky, "What should I do?" Why don't we go up and eat something before we plan, it's not a way to shout like this. ”
Jiang Yuan looked up at the road we came from, "Do you still want to walk the road just now?" ”
I looked at my feet with trepidation, "I don't want to." ”
This place is not big, it is not small, the building is just that, it stands to reason that it should be very simple to find someone here, but it is full of weeds more than one person high, I casually pulled down the leaves on a few weeds, the green color and its own height, it is really not like Chongqing can grow out of this humid basin.
"Yuan'er, look at these grass,"
Jiang Yuan said: "I know that this grass is called warm hemp, and its rhizome can be used for medicine, and it is the main ingredient of anesthesia in ancient folk secret recipes. ”
When he said this, I suddenly felt a little numb in my hand, and immediately threw away the thing in my hand, "Anesthetic? You say this large patch of weed is a kind of anesthetic? ”
Jiang Yuan said: "Yes, this kind of warm hemp has long been extinct in history, I didn't expect that there would be here, perhaps, people now don't know it, only regard them as weeds, so there is such a big piece." ”
I smiled bitterly, "Could it be that the person we are looking for is Langzhong?" ”
Jiang Yuan shook his head and said: "The information Zhang Yang gave me said that this person is the only one who knows Qianyu's background, and we must first understand the details of this person and his background before we go to Xi'an." ”
I listened to him and asked, "If Qianjue and Qianyu are brothers, then the person we are looking for is likely to be their relative, or someone they are very familiar with?" ”
Jiang Yuan nodded, "It should be, Zhang Yang asked us to find this person before going to Xi'an, I think this person must be a very important person, he deliberately appeared and disappeared on purpose just now, I think"
"What do you want?" I asked him.
Jiang Yuan looked at me and said, "I think, he probably only wanted to see one of us, so he was when we came, saw the two of us together, he deliberately appeared and then disappeared. ”
After speaking, he was very vigilant and observed the situation around him, and then whispered: "From now on, I will go separately from you, no matter which of the two of us sees him, we must control him at the first time, and then call another person over." ”
I nodded in agreement, straightened out my backpack and Jiang Yuan started to walk in two directions back to back.
Sure enough, I didn't take a few steps before I felt someone around me, because I saw a strange movement in the warm hemp leaf in front of me, I was very careful to lean over, just when I saw that there was a touch of black hidden in the green, I had been covering my eyes very quickly, I wanted to shout but found that my throat could not make a sound at all, this person was very strong, I struggled for a long time and did not take advantage of it, let alone escape.
After a stalemate of about a minute, I lost my strength and gave up, and the person behind me probably sensed my strangeness, he let go of his hand and whispered in my ear, "Don't turn around, go forward, and open the attic door the way I said." ”
I nodded, and then I suddenly realized that I could speak again, and immediately said, "That's fine, I want to go in and have a look, but can you tell me first, who are you?"
The man pushed me hard, I wanted to take the opportunity to turn around and see who he was, but I didn't expect that I couldn't turn around, and I couldn't stand there and try for a long time, and the man behind me said with a slight smile: "Don't bother, you can only move forward now." ”
