I really can't describe how I felt when I saw Bu Jin on the bamboo raft of the mountain boy, and the feeling at first sight must have been undoubted, but after the first surprise, I quickly regained my composure, and this change of mood surprised even me. I don't know how to describe it, but, perhaps, in the subconscious of my mind, I feel that it seems that Long Bu Jin should appear in that kind of place, I suddenly remembered that a few days ago in the swamp of goblin blood, I had vaguely heard Bu Jin seem to be talking to those mountain boys, is it possible, this Bu Jin she can even understand the language of the mountain boys.
Even so, Old Man Yuan once said that these mountain boys, in his words, refer to the mandrills, don't look at their small size, but they can live for a very long time, and their power is infinite, it is not an exaggeration to call them small mountain gods. So, why would Bu Jin stay with these mountain boys?
Could it be that she knows these mountain boys? No, no, no, it's impossible, and I shook my head so that I wouldn't be confused.
The bamboo rafts were getting closer and closer, and in a few moments, they were already floating to the bank of the river in front of us. The river flowed, the bamboo raft went up and down, and I saw Bu Jin staring blankly ahead, unable to see any target in her eyes.
After those bamboo rafts gradually left us, Chen Bing finally couldn't suppress his curiosity, he grabbed me by the collar and asked, "Isn't that woman with you, why is she with those mandrills?" β
I was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "Captain Chen, listen to me, although Bu Jin is with us, I don't know more about her than you, and I don't know why she stays with those mountain boys. β
What I didn't expect was that Chen Bing suddenly put a submachine gun on my chest and shouted at me, "Don't hide it from me." β
The swarthy muzzle of the gun was pressed against my chest, and I couldn't calm down even if I wanted to, so I stammered a little and said: "Chen, Captain Chen, don't be nervous, I really don't know why such a thing could happen to Lu Dao, didn't you see it before, even I was almost killed by those mountain boys." β
"No," at this time, Lewi's cold voice suddenly said, "It's not that you were almost killed by the mountain boy, but him." After speaking, Liu Yi pointed at Ryazan with his finger. Ryazan didn't fight back and said too much, he just shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly.
However, after thinking about it, I found that what Liu Yi said did have some truth, after all, when the matter developed to the last stage, it was indeed those mountain boys who used vines to save me and Gao Peng, but they did not save Ryazan, not only that, but they even wanted to kill Ryazan. As for why this happened, the explanation given by Old Man Yuan is that Ryazan has a very strong yin qi and is easy to provoke some unclean things, although those mountain boys like to play tricks on people on weekdays, but if they encounter heinous bad people, or people with evil spirits, they will definitely put them to death by any means.
Chen Bing also looked nervous, his muzzle against my chest was a little closer, and he shouted at me: "Tell me, what do you have to do with those mandrills, that woman, what is she doing?" Don't hide it from me, otherwise, in this mountain forest, if I kill you, I'm afraid that no one will be able to find your body for dozens or even hundreds of years. β
As soon as Ryazan saw that something was wrong with the situation, he stepped forward to dissuade him and said, "Hey, Captain Chen, don't get excited, this kind of thing, it's useless for you to ask him, I'll tell you......"
Ryazan didn't say half of his words, but it suddenly stopped, I raised my eyes to look, and saw that Shu Jingcheng had already raised his pistol at some point, aimed at Ryazan's head and stood on Ryazan's side. At the same time, Gao Peng naturally wouldn't be much better, Hong Yi's muzzle had already been aimed at him, and for a while, the atmosphere of several of us was suddenly tense to the extreme.
Originally, we got along day and night these days, and I even gradually had some different feelings about these people, similar to a good feeling, but all this that happened in front of me made me have to feel naΓ―ve again.
It's not all the way, whether it will go to the bottom, the kind of fragile cooperative relationship between us, which is already unequal, suddenly collapsed after Bu Jin's sudden appearance.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Old Man Yuan came out at this time and started to play a round game, only to see him raise his hands, as if to signal that he did not have any malicious intent.
"Everyone is calm and calm," Old Man Yuan said: "You see, you two groups have their own purposes, disagreements and suspicions, this is a very normal thing, but I am completely neutral, you all put down the gun first, let the old man say a few fair words, it's okay." β
Hong Yi didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and when he came up, he scolded: "Fuck your uncle, stinky old man, you fucking belong to Tang Seng, buzzing like a fly all day long, don't disturb us." β
Old man Yuan made Hong Yi a little embarrassed, but he still continued: "Oh, you are all too young, the old man has been walking the rivers and lakes for decades, and I naturally know more about some truths than you." For example, in this remote place, although your goals may be different, you must remember that there is nothing wrong with peace in everything. β
"I," Hong Yi shouted, "peace is precious, that means equality, don't you find that the initiative is in our ...... now?"
At this time, Chen Bing suddenly waved his hand, signaling Hong Yi not to continue, and instead said, "Master Yuan, what do you have any opinions, say it." β
Among the few of us, the most powerful person is Chen Bing, and the most commonly scolded is Old Man Yuan, but the strange thing is that this most powerful Chen Bing is the most respected person among us Old Man Yuan, every time, as long as Old Man Yuan speaks, Chen Bing always listens very patiently.
Old man Yuan said: "Captain Chen, you still trust the old man, then put the gun down first, it's not good if it goes off, isn't it?" β
Chen Bing hesitated for a while, but still put down the gun and said, "Say it." β
I don't know why Old Man Yuan wants to help me and Ryazan and Gao Peng, but no matter what, the moment Chen Bing and the others put down their guns, several of us, including Old Man Yuan, breathed a sigh of relief.
Old man Yuan then said: "Captain Chen, the old man understands your concerns, aren't you just afraid that these young people have other things to hide from you." β
Chen Bing also said to me without scruples: "The Shennongjia primeval forest is vast and abnormal, there are birds and beasts, demons and monsters in it, that young woman is your person, she can communicate with the mandrill, and she also walks with the mandrill all the way, how do I know if you are colluding and calculating us?" β
I didn't talk much because I was afraid of saying the wrong thing.
My heart says we are scheming against you? Up to now, when I saw Bu Jin standing on the bamboo raft of the mandrill, I had a feeling of being calculated, and I could only say that this Chen Bing thought too highly of me.
At this time, Old Man Yuan continued: "Captain Chen, you can't look at things like this, you said that the young woman is one of their group, but didn't you see that this young man named Ryazan is also one of them?" β
Chen Bing glanced at Ryazan and did not speak.
Old Man Yuan continued: "A few days ago, we also saw in the swamp of the goblin blood, the woman did not fall into the swamp, as for whether the woman was attacked by the goblin blood frog or mandrill, we don't know. β
"She didn't." I said.
Old man Yuan told me to shut up, and then he continued: "When we arrived there, what happened was that we saw this Fan Peixi and that Gao Peng fighting with the mandrill, and the young man named Ryazan had also fallen into the swamp, if that woman was one of them, then she shouldn't have run away without saving herself." And, Captain Chen, look at a few of them, all the way over, whether they met the human face tree or the ancestors of Ba Ran in the old village, their reactions were very surprised, the old man has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, whether this person is acting, I can see at a glance, however, I think that this group of young people really don't know much about that woman. Now, instead of making conflicts, it is better to follow those bamboo rafts directly and see what is going on. β
Chen Bing listened to Old Man Yuan's words, and at first he didn't react too much. But then, as if he had thought of something else, he smiled a slightly malicious smile. I looked a little nervous, and I only heard Chen Bing say: "Master Yuan, I understand, this brother, you were rude just now, don't be surprised, let's just follow the bamboo raft." β
