Chapter 35: The Mystery
I flashed my flashlight, turned the corner, and in the snow in the light, there was a scarlet bloodstain, and the strong smell of blood hit my face, which looked shocking in the darkness. The wind and snow are very strong at the moment, and if I come a little later, these blood stains will be covered in snow.
The source of the bloodstains was a bulging bag, like a snow-white steamed bun, which was obviously artificially piled up, as if something was buried in it. One side of the big bag was stained red with blood, and in the wind and snow, the red and white in front of him formed a shocking contrast.
What is buried in this snowdrift?
With a sense of foreboding, I walked over to the snowdrift and reached out to break it up, when I reached out when there was a soft click behind me.
It's the sound of snow being stepped on.
Someone is behind me!
I was startled, turned around sharply, and saw an unexpected person, mute.
Didn't he go into the tent? Why did it come out again?
The mute stood behind me, his hands clasped around his chest, his expression indifferent, standing still in the wind and snow. I looked past him and looked behind him, it was empty, there was no half a figure, and I couldn't help but curse the tofu boy in my heart, and I don't know how he kept vigil, the dumb man followed me like this, and he didn't know how to report to me.
Before I could speak, the dumb man said coldly, "Go back." ”
I looked at the snowdrift, then at the mute, and asked, "You killed this thing?" "I don't know what exactly is buried inside, but after so much blood, it's definitely not alive anymore. I wondered how wrong this dumb man was when he came out in the middle of the night, ran here and killed something, and buried it in a snowdrift.
If the dumb man is when he accidentally encounters something dangerous and solves it, then it is also said in the past, but if he solves it, why should he bury it? Besides, you shouldn't have gone so far.
Now, this person has obviously entered the tent, and now he has appeared again, and his whereabouts are mysterious and mysterious, and it is difficult for people not to suspect it.
When I asked, I deliberately suppressed my voice, worried that the mute would recognize my identity, but as soon as the words came out, the mute answered: "Chen Hang, don't ask too much, I said, you do." If you don't listen, get out. "I've been taught the mute tongue for a long time, but I don't really care about it, but what really surprised me was that this person actually knew my identity.
Tofu and I haven't met him a few times along the way, we haven't said a word, and we have been wrapped tightly, how did he recognize him?
As if sensing my surprise, the dumb man raised his chin slightly arrogantly, his eyes were indifferent, with a somewhat sarcastic tone: "Jumping beam clown, do you think you can hide it from me?" ”
I was a little angry, and since it was exposed, there was no need to hide it, so I tore off the scarf that wrapped my mouth and nose, and said, "Who drugged it in the first place, clown, you're talking about yourself, right?" ”
The dumb man said coldly: "That's how you talk to your life-saving benefactor?" "I know he's referring to the matter of sending the signal in Xu Fu's tomb and later, and it is indeed a lifesaver for our group, just giving a sweet date and another slap, this kind of thing, I'm afraid only children don't care. But I can't quarrel with him, quarreling is the most wasteful thing, so I said: "Okay, don't say it so nicely, since you recognize it, let's get straight to the point and explain the plain directly." After a pause, I stared into his dark eyes and said, "Who are you?" ”
"Wu Shui." He spat out those two words.
I scoffed and said, "You can lie to the ghost about this." ”
The mute hooked a sneer and said, "What do you want me to answer you?" Sue sù you and I am an argument? Actually, I was wondering why I looked exactly like him...... But I'm definitely not him, that's a loser, he doesn't deserve to be compared to me! ”
I don't have much affection for the pleadings, I can't even pronounce the word dad, but when I hear the mute comment on the pleadings, I still feel very uncomfortable in my heart. There is a way to beat a dog and it depends on the owner, even if I don't want to admit it, Chen Ci is also my father after all, how can I let this kid be so insulted, I suppressed my anger and said: "Shut up, he is not a loser." ”
The dumb man said coldly: "What is a dead man, not a loser?" ”
"In your eyes, a dead person is a loser, but everyone will die, and you will have such a day sooner or later."
The dumb man snorted in his mouth, and said coldly: "The living have a qiē, the dead have nothing, I am still alive, but I can let you die now." This is clearly a threat. After the dumb man finished speaking, he stopped speaking, and stood straight in place, his eyes covering me with great pressure, so that people did not dare to act rashly.
The mute obviously didn't want me to know what was buried in the snowdrift, and he didn't say anything about the question I had just asked. Obviously, he wasn't a cliché, and even he didn't seem to understand why he was exactly the same as Cliché, and things were a little weird.
I looked away from the snowdrift, knowing that there was a dumb man, and that it was impossible for me to uncover the secret under the snowdrift, so I slowly walked towards the camp, during which the dumb man and I kept a close distance, and the two of us walked silently in the snow.
The campfire in the camp in the distance was already faintly visible, and I didn't look back, and asked, "Then you sue me, why did you have anything to do with the map, and what is the reason why you want to enter the tomb of the Giant Ear King?" ”
The mute didn't make a sound.
I then asked, "Even if you're not a cliché, then you must have some relationship, right?" Otherwise, why do you know so much about him? ”
The dumb man still didn't answer, and I stopped, turned around, and blocked his way. The mute looked at me at this time, and said coldly: "I have no obligation to answer you, what is the meaning of these questions to you?" What does it have to do with you? ”
I was stunned by his question, the dumb thinking mode, ordinary people really can't understand, what does it mean to have nothing to do with me? How can a man who looks exactly like my father, who opposes me everywhere, first taking away the Liuhe seal, and now preparing to take away the map left by the statement, has nothing to do with me?
But on second thought, it seems that what he said was right, even if I knew, what would I do? Could it be that if I know the reason, the dumb man won't rob me? Did I prove that there is a relationship between mutes and clichés, so that this person can change his current virtue?
Knowing this, nothing will change my current situation.
I suddenly came back with some understanding, dumb like a person who was out of the world, and no one else could do anything to him, and most of the time, he didn't affect others, of course, provided that he didn't make people angry.
After saying this, the mute walked around me and went straight into the camp.
At this end, Tofu fell asleep beside the fire, and I lamented for a moment that I had made friends carelessly, woke people up, and said, "Let you keep vigil, you have fallen asleep in less than twenty minutes, is there such a thing as you?" Tofu was also confused and said, "Strange, why did I fall asleep?" I was singing while keeping vigil, but I was so energetic...... Hey, I remembered, I smelled a scent, and then I couldn't control it, and my eyelids couldn't hold up. ”
I estimated that eighty percent of them were dumb and drugged again, so I didn't say much to Tofu, woke up the next wave of shift changes, and took off my clothes and got into my sleeping bag.
Tofu asked me what I found, I didn't feel sleepy at this time, so I told Tofu what happened just now, who knew that just after speaking, Lu Su, who had been sleeping, suddenly said: "As long as he kills someone who is not in our team, don't care." ”
Tofu snorted, poked his head out of his sleeping bag, and said to Lu Su: "You didn't sleep before, you actually listened to the corner, it's too immoral." ”
The fire outside was reflected on the tent, and every qiē in the tent looked hazy, Lu Su seemed to smile and said, "You two are so big, if I don't wake up, it won't be suitable for eating this bowl of rice." "Yes, if your alertness is too low, you will die a miserable death.
Tofu said, "Aren't you curious about what's buried in the snowdrift?" ”
Lu Su still smiled and said: "There are too many things to be curious about, I only focus on what is related to me, and if my heart is scattered, I will ......be chaotic" He looked at me and said: "Listen to my advice, Brother Chen, everything cannot be clear, do you know what is the best way to be when a ship is caught in a whirlpool?" Instead of running out of those chaotic spirals, it accelerates towards a central point, and the ship is pushed out by the reaction force. ”
Lu Su's voice was calm and gentle, in the cold snowy mountains, my anxious heart suddenly settled down, Tofu said: "What you said is quite reasonable, sometimes, a matter is too complicated, one by one, it will be like getting into a mess, the fastest way, or to find the center point, the rest of the lines will not care about him." Lao Chen, what is your central point? ”
I was silent for a long time and said, "Curse." ”
Tofu clapped his hands and said, "Come on, it's a curse, let's find Old Man Zhao, we can find the map of the tomb of the Giant Ear King, and Bai Laosi can find a way to transfer the curse from it, and we won't lose to him." As for the blood on the dumb man's pants, whether it killed something, or hemorrhoids and constipation, let's not think about it. I think the central point of the three of us is the same now, and that is sleep. ”
Lu Su laughed, nodded in agreement, and shrank into the sleeping bag.
There was no sound of talking, the sound of the wind and snow could be heard more clearly, and occasionally there was the slight sound of the two people who were keeping vigil outside. Maybe it's because of my personality, I, as a person, must see everything at a glance and be clear, so that I can feel comfortable. Like Tofu and Lu Su said, let some mysteries become mysteries forever, this is not my character, I can't do it.
