Jie'an's injuries are not light, and they really need to recuperate, and at the beginning, it took more than half a month for grandpa and his party to locate alone, so if we position ourselves, it is obviously unrealistic, and our group of people, compared to grandpa and their battle at that time, I am afraid that it is still far behind, which is even more backward.

So far, I can only wait for Jie'an's injury to get a little better, and then plan to go to the ground.

At this moment, it was more than one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone tossed and turned, and indeed tired, under the guidance of Jie'an, we arrived at a place on the west side of the woods, where there was a pile of integrated mountain rocks, connected with the crater in the distance, and at the bottom of the position, a cave was naturally formed, and there was a living water in the low-lying land not far away.

Jie'an said that he often came to this place to inspect, and some people would pass by Shangyao Village, but some people with ulterior motives would take a detour, so in order to protect this place, Jie'an would go into the mountains from time to time. The tree house and the cave were his footholds.

Because the tree house is small, he led us here. Next, we didn't ask any more questions, Jie'an concentrated on cultivation, ignored everything, we also took the opportunity to take a breath and rest, taking advantage of the living water not far away, we could also wash the blood and sludge on our bodies, clean up, and finally sleep well that night, and didn't say anything until the next day.

Our plan is to act again tomorrow, Jie'an is in good spirits today, but the wound still needs to recuperate, fortunately, we shot before, although it hit Jie'an, but the bullet was attached to the flesh, and it was not embedded in it, so it did not hurt the vital point, as for Jie'an's hands, it was not as strict as I imagined, it was not a fracture, but one of the joints was dislocated, Zhong Gong straightened his bones, and fixed it with a splint, plus the best wound medicine, overnight relief, it has been much better, it is really difficult for him to be so old to toss.

The day was fine, so Tofu and I raised our guns and prepared to go to the forest to get some game and make a tooth sacrifice. Guidi Mountain is densely forested, full of miasma, there are many poisonous snakes and beasts in the forest, and of course, there is no lack of mountain delicacies and wild game. Tofu and I got a spear from Zhen Rui, vacated an equipment bag, and the two of us searched in the forest, preparing to pick some mountain mushrooms and wild vegetables along the way.

As he walked, Tofu discussed with me and said, "Lao Chen, what you said at the beginning was right, it turns out that this Zhuan Rui is really not a good thing. ”

I said, "It's not too late for you to know, what he said was that he came with me to look for grandpa because of the matter of Dioduo, but in fact he only came for the seven lamps." ”

Tofu snorted and said, "I thought he was here for the east." ”

I said in my heart: This Zhen Dong is his uncle, not his father, these people do things, has always been the word first, with my understanding of Zhen Rui, this person is a person who attaches great importance to the interests of the family, how can he come here for a person who has left the family? I'm afraid those seven lamps are his true goal.

When Tofu heard me say this, he said, "Lao Chen, is it true that you said about the seven lights?" ”

Although my experiences these days are all strange and bizarre, thrilling, but about the things of life, old age, sickness, death, corpses, ghosts, and gods, I still feel unreliable in my heart.

Since the Earth Ghost King has seven lamps, then he must also have unpredictable powers, in this case, how can an earthquake shake him to death? When an earthquake strikes, won't he learn Batman to fly in the air? Since the magic lamp can make people become immortals and gods, can the immortals still be shocked to death by the earthquake?

From this analysis, the so-called seven heads and seven lamps are purely deceptive.

Tofu smashed his mouth and said, "There is no legend that the Earth Ghost King is dead, maybe he is still alive?" ”

I said: "If he is still alive, it will be even more useless, after this place is destroyed, he will definitely fly away with the seven lights, and he can still wait for us to dig in the ground?" Hearing this, Tofu nodded and said, "I understand, anyway, you don't believe it, do you?" Actually, I think it's very unreliable, but there's one thing I can't figure out. ”

I looked at his tangled expression, and while observing the movements around him, I said, "Your IQ, I can't figure it out too much, what's the matter?" ”

Tofu Zhengse said: "Your analysis just now is very reasonable, but what do you think, who were the people in that team back then?" We don't know the rest, just the two who know are terrible, your grandfather Chen Siyuan, and the overlord of old Beijing, the second leader of the Zhen family, come to the east, just the two of them, that is also an extraordinary character, you and I can think of this, can't they think of it? Even if they can't think of it, there are so many people in the team, can't those people think of it? In that case, why did they even look for those seven obviously unreliable lamps? ”

Tofu really woke up the dreamer with a word, I couldn't help but hiss, thinking: Yes, if grandpa Chen Siyuan rushed to the hospital because of illness, then what about the rest? Those people were all on a par with my grandfather at the time, and none of them were stupid, so why did they do it? Could it be that there is something hidden in this that we don't know?

Is there something else that Zhen Rui is hiding?

While I was thinking, the bushes not far away suddenly moved, and my eyes were attracted to it, and when I looked closely, I saw an animal that looked like a deer but not a deer, probably trapped by the tangled tree cage, so there was some movement between the struggles. This thing is called Xiangluo, the most alert, often people have not approached, they have already run away, the meat is very delicate, there is a peculiar fragrance, I have eaten in the mountains of western Henan before, smell the taste, people who can be greedy drop saliva.

I was about to shoot my gun, but Tofu pressed my gun down and said, "It seems to be a fragrant roe deer." ”

As soon as he made a sound, the roe deer was immediately frightened, and after struggling to get out of the cage and run away without a trace.

I got angry and said, "You scared it away." ”

Tofu spread his hands and said solemnly: "Lao Chen, the fragrant roe deer is an endangered and protected animal, and we can't eat it." "The so-called fragrant deer, in fact, is the musk deer, we often say musk, is produced by the deer, this thing has a musk gland in the navel eye, can secrete musk, so it has been the object of hunting since ancient times, and it has become an endangered animal in modern times.

When I heard this, I was angry and funny, and said: "In this deep mountain and old forest, nine out of ten animals are protected animals, so let's just stop hunting, go back and nibble on compressed biscuits." ”

Tofu looked at me disdainfully and said, "No culture, no vegetarian zhì, we can play something else, such as rabbits, pheasants, or something." In order to compensate for the act of letting go of the fragrant roe, Tofu swore that he would hunt a few hares, but the two of us wandered around all afternoon, the rabbits didn't fight, picked a bag of mushrooms, went back and let Gu Da Beauty wash and peel them, made a pot of mushroom soup, and his stomach was full of water, but he was hungry in the middle of the night.

My hungry stomach gurgled, and I couldn't help but wake up, and it was Zhong Gong who was keeping vigil at this time, he was silent, and most of the time he only listened to Zhen Rui's words, and when he saw me wake up, he just nodded politely, and the two did not talk. At this moment, it is the end of August, and in this kind of weather, it is still very hot in Shenzhen along the coast, but there are already bursts of chill in the mountains on this side of Guangxi.

I baked the fire, turned out the compressed biscuits and chewed them to satisfy my hunger, scolded the tofu in my heart, and said that this kid is troublesome in everything on weekdays, and he has never let me stop, how can I implement the national policy so seriously? The next time I encounter any protected animals, I will shoot them first, so that I don't go hungry again. I'm used to running in the mountains before, and I've seen a lot, and I don't think there's anything unusual about roe deer, but Tofu and Xiao Jing, who are natives of the city, are excited to see a squirrel for a long time.

As I chewed, my eyes swept over the night.

The terrain we are in now is relatively higher than before, and after a glance, it is not pitch black in the darkness, because the moon is particularly bright tonight, perhaps because of the different regions, the moonlight is very bright, and the dark world seems to be covered with a layer of hazy silver sand. At this moment, I suddenly found that there was one person missing from the team, it was Xiao Jing.

Everyone slept in the cave, generally speaking, there were only two women in the team, they should sleep in one place, but Xiao Jing and Gu Wenmin were not on the same page, so the two were far apart, Xiao Jing slept next to me at the time, why did they disappear? My eyes were looking at where Xiao Jing was sleeping, and Zhong Gong on the side probably saw what I was thinking, pointed to the dark place on the side of the cave, and said, "She went out about five minutes ago and said that her stomach hurts." It seems that Xiao Jing went to the toilet.

But after listening to Zhong Gong, my first reaction was impossible.

Xiao Jing is an only child, with a pampered personality, not very considerate, and timid. For example, I remember one time when I was sick and lying in bed, and when I was limp, her friend happened to ask her out to play. In this case, if it's so late, you must have to accompany your sick boyfriend, right? But she wasn't very considerate at that time, and immediately wanted to go out and have fun, and that's not all, she didn't want to take a taxi, and she had to ask me to drive her.

To put it simply, although Xiao Jing's personality has changed a lot, but timidity is not something that can be changed, I have been with her for three years, and I know her character very well. In this deep mountain and old forest, I have experienced so many strange things before, if she really went to the toilet in the middle of the night, she would definitely get me up and let me accompany her.

But now, she actually went alone?

I felt something was wrong, so I pulled out my flashlight and said, "I'll take a look." When Zhong Gong, who was not smiling, heard this, he actually showed an ambiguous smile and said, "Go early and come back late." ”
