Chapter 36: The Pawn of the Horse
In this way, the blood-seeping snowdrift flashed through my mind from time to time, and I fell asleep in a daze when I thought about it.
The next day, I woke up in a commotion, Lu Su was gone, and Tofu slept like a dead pig. I woke up Tofu, and the two of us changed into clothes and got out of the tent, outside the tent, someone set up a small iron pot to cook breakfast. At this time, it is more than six o'clock in the morning, the snow is bright in the snowy mountains, and the snow mist is steaming, at this time, our altitude is about three thousand meters, the snow water in the pot melts quickly, and the boiling is also fast, but this boiling is not very hot due to the low boiling point, and at this altitude, the water cannot really boil.
The cooks of breakfast broke up the compressed biscuits and pieces of meat and threw them into the pot, and in a short time it became a pot of hot paste, and everyone ate a hot meal in the cold and freezing, and felt that their bodies were a little warmer, so they withdrew from the camp, packed up their equipment, and continued to move forward under the leadership of the dumb man.
Since the mute knew his true identity, Tofu and I stopped pretending to be and took off the scarf that wrapped our mouth and nose, and although our nose was frozen, it was better than not breathing well. The two of us showed their true colors, but they shocked Feng Ghost Hand, he walked up to Lu Su's side and said, "Didn't you change your mind later and say that you wouldn't take them?" ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but hiss, and my heart said that there was such an episode in the middle? Lu Su didn't need to mention it to me? At that time, Feng Ghost came to find him, and he did mention the matter of the next fight, could it be that Lu Su changed his hexagram again later? In that case, why did he bring me and tofu again? Lu Su is really unfathomable, he was suddenly stabbed by Feng Ghost's hand, he didn't panic, smiled slightly, and said: "The plan can't catch up with the changes, and I'm also handy, why not help people." ”
Feng Ghost Hand just smiled gloomily, and I suddenly had the feeling that Tofu and I were pitted by Lu Su, and Feng Ghost Hand was waiting to see a good show. After laughing, he didn't talk to me and Tofu, and walked to the front of the line again, distancing himself from us.
As soon as Feng Ghost left, Tofu was angry and said to Lu Su: "The surname Feng is here just now, I will give you a face, and I didn't have a seizure on the spot." You have to make it clear to us that you didn't plan to take me and Lao Chen with you, but now you suddenly changed your mind and said, do you have some conspiracy? ”
Lu Su seemed very patient, and in the face of Tofu's unceremonious questioning, he had an excellent temper, squinted his eyes with a smile, and asked rhetorically, "What conspiracy do you think I can have?" ”
Tofu was stunned, and I couldn't say it for a while.
Lu Su turned to me and asked: "First of all, I have no obligation to help you, so it's understandable not to take you, and secondly, out of the morality between friends, I know the importance of the map to you, so I asked you to partner, did I do something wrong?" As he spoke, he smiled, sighed, and said, "Once you have prejudice, everything you do is wrong, and there is a conspiracy, right?" ”
Tofu was confused by this series of rhetorical questions, and stammered, "No, no...... This, that, we are ......" He scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, unable to explain why. I didn't get around as easily as tofu, and said: "You did help me a lot, I am grateful to you for this, but don't shout wronged, your killing of Wei Nanjing and the others is not prejudice." ”
When Lu Su heard me mention this, he only smiled slightly and said, "All brothers in the four seas, of course, those who stand in my way are not brothers." When he said this, he still smiled gently, the wind and snow blew the last tail note ethereal, tofu is estimated to be difficult to understand, why there is a person like Lu Su in the world, stunned in place for a while, pulled by me, and then mechanically continued to move forward.
After Lu Su finished speaking, he quickened his pace, moved away from us, and caught up with the mute, not knowing what he was saying.
Tofu then turned his head sideways and asked me, "Lao Chen, how can a person be so extreme?" In the tomb of Princess Geger, he almost gave his life in order to save us, and later came to the rescue several times, I think he is essentially a good person, but ...... Why do you kill people and ......?"
I said, "With your intelligence, you can't think of it in your life." ”
Tofu muttered, "Then did you come up with it?" ”
"My view is that whether she's a good person or a bad person, she's not someone you can really trust," I said. Tofu nodded, turned his eyes, looked at Lu Su and the mute at the front, rolled his eyes twice, and said, "They are sneaky, I don't know what they are doing, I will be a pawn and go to investigate." With that, he stumbled forward in the snow like a penguin, and came to Lu Su and the mute.
I walked at the end, thinking about the reason that would make Lu Su change his mind. After a while, Tofu staggered back again, with a look of praise on my face, and said: "They are discussing the next route, and the dumb man does not know the specific location of the Puzhen tomb, only that it is located in a snow ditch, I heard that the route seems to have been revealed to the mute by someone, and the specific location is only known when I get the snow ditch, and if nothing happens, I will be able to arrive tomorrow morning." ”
Someone revealed the route to the dumb?
Could it be that there is some traitor in Old Man Zhao's team?
I said, "Go and inquire again, and see who revealed the route to the mute." ”
Tofu ran back and forth, estimated that he was a little tired, and said, "Why did you let me go again?" ”
I said, "Do you want to hear the truth or listen to the lie?" ”
"Of course it's true."
I said, "Because you're stupid, they don't guard against you." Seeing that Tofu was about to go crazy, I immediately said: "Of course, I know that you are wise and foolish, and you are a person with great wisdom, which ordinary ordinary people will not understand." ”
Tofu dissipated his anger at this time, pretending to be indifferent and waved his hand, saying: "If this great wisdom is foolish, you just know it yourself, don't always talk about it, the ancestors teach us, be humble." Ahem, I'll go and find out again, use my invincible pretend to be stupid skills to weaken their defenses, and wait for my good news. After saying that, he ran forward again.
Most of the people in the team don't know each other, they have only heard each other's names, and they have gotten along all the way, and they are all familiar with each other, and they are all in pairs, talking while walking.
The closest to me is the short-haired beauty Meng Meng, who is said to be able to release Gu and also heal diseases, and is the doctor in the team, although her personality is pungent and spicy, she is beautiful and is very well taken care of in the team. It's just that this girl's heart is relatively high, and if she is unhappy, she will fly up and kick over, and she will be beaten by her crying father and mother.
At this moment, she was talking to another long-haired Japanese woman, who could speak Chinese, but not very fluently, and Meng Meng spoke louder, and I could vaguely hear their conversation.
The Japanese woman's name is Yoshiko, and in her speech there is a person who is called the boss, and she says in a broken Chinese, "...... Yes, it is the meaning of the boss, we have no right to command Mr. Wu. ”
Meng Meng nodded, looking very shrewd, and opened his mouth to speak, as if sensing my gaze, and turned his head sharply, with a malicious smile on his face, and said, "If you want to listen, then come closer." "I still have in my mind the last man who harassed her was kicked down in the snow and trampled hard, and my heart said that it is better to be a beautiful woman, gentle and kind, this kind of poisonous scorpion, it is better not to approach, so I stopped, signaled to distance myself, and stopped eavesdropping.
Who knew that Meng Meng didn't let go, looked me up and down, and said, "Your name is Chen Hang?" ”
I nodded, and she smiled coquettishly and said, "Jiuyang, it turns out that it's just like that." ”
I listened to her yin and yang strange words, and I was a little impatient for a while, and said, "Long admiration? Why, have you heard of me? ”
Meng Meng said: "Why haven't you heard it, the news on the road spreads quickly, I heard that the people who partner with you are all among the best experts, and the 'jade-faced Yama' in the capital is also among them, why don't you introduce me to me another day?" ”
I glanced at her, and didn't want to entangle with this woman who could let go of Gu, so I nodded and said that I would definitely introduce you to you if I had a chance, Meng Meng nodded, giggled, and said, "I just like obedient people, you are much more interesting than them." ”
I thought to myself that women are really talking a lot of nonsense, so get out of here after speaking, don't dangle in front of my eyes, other men eat you, I don't eat it. Seeing that I didn't react, she pursed her lips, probably finding it boring, and talked to the Japanese woman again.
Tofu said that he was going to investigate, but he didn't come back for a long time, I estimated that he couldn't find out anything, and was about to follow, when the team facing the wind and snow suddenly stopped, as if something had happened ahead.
I was stunned, looked up, and suddenly found that it was Lu Su who raised his hand and made a gesture to stop advancing.
Could it be that something is going on up ahead?
My heart moved, three steps and two steps, and stepped forward against the cold wind, only to see the three people in front, Tofu and Lu Su, all staring straight ahead. I looked ahead and was taken aback to see a huge crack in the ice ahead of me, blocking our path.
This ice crack is about ten meters wide, and when you look down, the cold mist is steaming underneath, and it is bottomless, like a ghost. On both sides of the ice crevice, there are iron vertebrae and ropes in between, which are obviously left by the previous group.
Tofu squatted down, looked at the iron spine closely, and smacked his tongue: "It's very deep, it should be very firm, it seems that it was left by Old Man Zhao's gang, but there are ice slags on this rope, can it still be used?" ”
Lu Su used the tip of the Ghost Crying Knife to smash the ice slag on the rope nearby, looked at the rope, and smiled: "There is a steel wire in it, and it can still be used." ”
