Chapter 17: Nothing to Say All the Way
The three notes sparked a journey, and on the way to Yunnan, I was discussing the connection between the three notes with the fat man.
I don't know who left the first note, we set its owner as "Mystery Man", and the note left by Mystery Man conveys the positive meaning that he has half a map in his hand. After careful thinking now, I found that the half of the map in his hand was not necessarily obtained from the golden statue we stole from us, but it may be the half of the map in He Fatzi's hand, so the spearhead was pointed at He Fatzi and the people around him. If they left it, the intent is obvious, they know that we still have half a map in our hands, like to cooperate. So the shrewd He Fatzi or the people around him threw out an olive branch first, wanting to test our wishes. As for the line behind the note, it looks like the text of the address, it should be some kind of cipher, but I can't decipher it for a while.
The second note is suspected to have been left by the master, but in fact, it is roughly certain that the master left it, because except for the fat man, I didn't know that I had the name "Feng Sheng". The meaning of the note is also simple and clear, informing us that he went to a tomb in Ligong, Yunnan, and the specific situation asked us to ask the fifth master, but it happened that the fifth master went out, so that we received a third note.
The third note is that the fifth master of Zha clearly left us a one, urging us to leave for Yunnan as much as possible, if it is over, they will both be in danger, it can be seen that they are fighting together.
Only the first of the three notes is unclear what its purpose is. This can be a rough guess, but the fat man and I agree with this guess. On the contrary, it was the note left by the master and the fifth master that we were confused about, although the literal meaning was simple and easy to understand, but we didn't understand the meaning behind the storage of this note. Because these two notes are the people we are most familiar with, but we can't figure out why they used this mysterious and suspenseful method to inform us to go to the bucket in Yunnan to help each other, that is, it took a lot of time and delayed time, and we both felt that the gains outweighed the losses, and the mystery was a little too much.
In the end, the two of us can only explain the incident to the extreme, it must be a mysterious and powerful force to control the master and the fifth master and others, they have no choice but to go to the fight, but, knowing that this is more than lucky, I hope we can help. If this is the case, the mastermind behind this is really terrifying, he will definitely not be a single person, but an organization, and their sphere of influence is beyond our imagination. I can't help but think that the fat man and I were poisoned, and they must have done it too, in order to prevent me and the fat man from going to Yunnan to rescue them, then they may have noticed Master's secret actions, and the more time passes, the more dangerous Master and them may become. Some of them will unload the mill and kill the donkey and the rabbit and the dog as soon as the master finds the tomb.
The fat man's thoughts have always been very optimistic, he thinks that I think about the situation too strictly, Master, they can't find the tomb so quickly, and the tomb is full of organs, ghosts are raging, since they are holding Master and other craftsmen hostage, they must be holding the treasure safe before they will kill the killer. Wouldn't it be a good thing for both of us to arrive before then, and then wait for the rabbit, that is, to save people and get treasures.
I have always admired the fat man of the optimist, and after he said this, my mood that was originally gloomy to the bottom suddenly improved a lot, and I was in the mood to enjoy the scenery around me.
As the saying goes: "The mountains of Yunnan, the water of Guilin", it can be seen that the peaks of Yunnan are famous for their beautiful scenery.
After a long journey, we finally came to Yunnan, which is famous for its beautiful mountains and rivers, high cliffs and steep roads, and the fat man and I took a dilapidated tourist minibus and drove smoothly on the mountain road.
The fat man opened the window of the car next to him and couldn't help but say with emotion: "The great motherland is really a great country of rivers and mountains!" The scenery here is also too beautiful and pleasant, with white clouds surrounding the mountainside. Lao Zheng, you said: Will there be immortals living there on the top of the mountain? β
I was used to hearing the fat man say such childish things, so I smiled and didn't answer him. There were two passengers sitting in the same row as us, one was a man with glasses in his thirties, and the one sitting next to him seemed to be his girlfriend, who should have come to travel together. The man with glasses probably heard what the fat man said, pushed the frame of the glasses on his nose, and muttered in a low voice: "Feudal superstition is not light. When he finished speaking, he found that I seemed to have heard it, and immediately lowered his head in embarrassment, and did not dare to look at me.
I still have this kind smile on my face, but I am secretly scolding in my heart: hypocrite, what a villain. You should be glad that you were not heard by the fat man, or with the fat man's hot temper, you would have to break your teeth and break your legs.
I smiled and took the initiative to talk to the man with glasses and said, "Traveling? β
He nodded very reluctantly, obviously not wanting to deal with me, but his girlfriend next to him greeted me very warmly and asked me, "Are you two also going to travel?"
The fat man and I carried a lot of stuff in a big bag, and we didn't look like tourists on a trip. Moreover, how can two big men travel together? I had to make up a reason to explain to her: "No, we work at the Institute of Botany in Beijing. The main reason for coming here is to go into the mountains and walk around, to see if you can find some endangered plant species, or unknown plants that have not yet been recorded, and bring some back to make specimens for record. β
After hearing this, the woman immediately exclaimed in amazement: "I really didn't see that you two are still research scholars at a young age. Then what plants grow on the mountains of Yunnan, you tell me! After speaking, a pair of almond eyes stared at me, waiting for my answer. The man with glasses next to her looked at me with a wary face, for fear that I would do something wrong to his girlfriend.
I was just trying to find an excuse to perfunctory her, but I didn't expect this woman to like to get to the bottom of things. I can't help but cry out in my heart: How do I know what plants are on this mountain? In my eyes, the grass looks the same, what I just said, a discerning person knows that I am an excuse when I hear it, I am like a fat man, where do I look like an intellectual, she also believes this kind of deception, how stupid and naΓ―ve it is. But the nonsense had already been spoken, and I had no choice but to continue the circle, so I had to say to her with a serious expression and a very perfunctory tone: "There are too many plants here, and I can't finish talking about it for a while." And you have to look at the plant itself to know what I'm talking about. If the explanation is like a lecture, it is boring and boring, and you may not be able to understand it, I am afraid that you will feel boring and boring, and it will not be good to disturb your good mood of travel! β
When I said this, the woman immediately lost interest and turned her head to look out the window.
At this time, the fat man next to me secretly winked at me, looking very funny.
I couldn't help but ask him, "What's the matter, the driving window is windy and my eyes are lost?" β
The fat man immediately put his head close to me and whispered to me, "I see that girl has been talking to you, has she taken a fancy to you?" β
I glanced a little over at my neighbor's seat, and saw the almond-eyed lady looking at the view, not noticing that we were talking about her. I lowered my voice and said to the fat man, "Don't talk nonsense. I can tell you that this Yunnan has been the place where the cup poison has been distributed since ancient times, especially the Luohua girl of the Miao nationality, who has been feeding Gu worms since she was a child, and can also poison unknowingly. If you accidentally offend someone, when the time comes, you will be given a Gu, and you will directly become a living dead, and the Daluo Immortal will not be able to save you. β
After listening to this, the fat man said to me disdainfully: "If you can really meet the flower girl, the fat man will marry her home directly, and if anyone dares to provoke me in the future, Lao Tzu will directly throw a little worm to kill him." β
I smiled and said to him, "Pull it down!" I heard that the girls of the ethnic minorities here are as beautiful as the hibiscus out of the water. It's hard to say if people can take a fancy to you. β
The fat man pouted with a very dissatisfied expression and said: "You really don't look down on people, I heard that here in Yunnan, dark and strong is beautiful." And a little white face like you with clear eyebrows is not the type that the girls here like. I am definitely a hot item, and the girl must be in a long line, rushing to recruit me as a son-in-law. β
After listening to the fat man's nonsense, I said to him with a smile: "Yes, your fat man was not recruited by Gao Laozhuang as a son-in-law hundreds of years ago. β
I secretly mocked the fat man's words, and the fat man listened to it and tasted it for a long time before he turned back, and said to me unhappily: "I don't take you to bury people like this." β
I didn't continue to answer, but looked out the window and enjoyed the beauty of this fairyland on earth, on the mountain peaks in the distance, the mountain road coiled around the mountain like a python, spiraling upward. In the year of the underground mountain stream, the distant mountain peaks are connected into a sea of green that cannot be seen. I stretched my head out of the car window, and when I looked down, I could see the steep cliff below, which was dizzying at a glance, and the tires of the minibus were close to the edge of the cliff, and I really admired the driver who could drive calmly.
Looking back from the window, I saw the fat man next to me, already asleep. I also came up sleepy, and after a few blinks of my eyelids, I became drowsy. When I woke up, it was already dusk outside, and I stretched out and saw a car of passengers sleeping more than half of them. The fat man next to him, with a hala on the corner of his mouth, slept like a pig.
The bus suddenly began to slow down, and looking out of the windshield in front of the car, you could see the outline of a building not far away, which was slowly appearing in front of you. The car slowed down for a while, and the driver stopped the car, turned around and shouted at the car: "It's time to get there, get out of the car!" After the passengers who woke up to find out the situation, they all began to get up and pack their luggage, and then began to get off the bus one after another.
I pushed the fat man who was still asleep and said, "Don't sleep. Hurry up and start eating. β
The fat man suddenly opened his eyes, straightened up, and said excitedly: "Mrs., it's time to eat, just when I'm hungry." β
I said to the fat man, who was in high spirits as soon as he heard the meal was opened, "How do you know how to eat?" It's already at the place, get your luggage and get off. β
The fat man suddenly looked out of the car window, stared at the inn outside and asked me, "Why is the inn here open in such a remote place, it can't be a black shop that specializes in killing people?" β
