Tofu saw that I took off the equipment bag and wanted to learn to go up like a dumb person, so he couldn't help but be anxious and said, "We haven't figured out why the dumb person didn't have it, so rashly go up, what if you are also tricked?" "I also know that Tofu is worried about me, and his words are not unreasonable, although my skills are not bad, but I am still much inferior to these people who are dumb, and the dumb people almost had an accident just now, I don't know the roots, maybe I will repeat the mistakes of the past.

So I had to stop unloading the equipment and ask Tofu, "What do you think?" ”

Tofu scratched his head, he couldn't think of it, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "If you want to go, you can't go on an adventure alone, let's go together, and if something happens, we will have a response." "Now, there is no other way, Tofu and I have to go into battle with equipment, which makes it more difficult to climb.

Fortunately, there were some gaps between the drums that allowed people to settle down, and although we couldn't be as easy as dumb people, we managed to cope with it, and in a short time, we climbed to a height of seven or eight meters. This distance is not high, but it is full of dangers, not to mention the process, it hurts to think about it, and I don't want to come back a second time after walking once.

Tofu was afraid of heights, so he didn't dare to look down at all, and kept hypnotizing himself, muttering: "It's not seven or eight meters, it's not seven or eight meters, in fact, I only climbed two meters, and it's only two meters ......."

In such a cold environment, I still have a layer of white sweat on my body, and I have to be careful not to breathe carefully, so as not to have too much tension between my chest and the ice wall.

Suddenly, Tofu and I climbed to the side of the big drum, only to see that the drum was about six meters in diameter, and most of the drum body was embedded in the ice, and about one meter was exposed. It looks like it is wooden, and the surface is painted with vermilion lacquer, and it is a little slippery due to a thin layer of ice on it. The dumb man had climbed up from here and used the two scimitars to pierce a row of holes in the side of the drum, so Tofu and I did the same, using something like a chisel to pierce the holes and climb up. Standing high in the air, surrounded by cold fog, looking down, even people like me, who have no fear of heights, also feel dizzy and muscle tight.

As soon as I climbed above the drum, I saw the doorway. It turned out that directly above the big drum, where it was attached to the ice wall, there was a one-man high hole, and we were located below before, so we couldn't see it. I put the light in, and the hole was dark and faint, and I didn't know where it led. Not far from the entrance of the cave, there is an iron chisel with a rope fastened on it, which extends all the way to the drum surface.

I crouched down and looked down at the rope, and it was the C-shaped thing.

Sure enough, it was a person, and an acquaintance.

Tofu exclaimed, "White chop chicken!" At this moment, this person is no longer the same scenery as before, he is wearing an outdoor warm suit, the safety lock is fastened around his waist, and the whole person is hanging in the air by a rope, because the body is naturally leaning back, so when we are below, we see a C-shaped shape.

Tofu sighed for a while, although we had already thought that there was no news when the old man Zhao and his party entered Xuelong Mountain, and eighty percent of them were killed, but when they really saw the corpse of the white chicken, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness about the death of the rabbit and the fox. This white chicken is definitely not a good person, but he has the ability, and now he is dying here, which cannot be called wronged, but it also makes us feel related to the hearts of our 'peers'.

Tofu shook his head and said to the body of the white chicken: "Be a man, don't be too greedy." You say you'...... The family is rich and oily, and the long is also a talent, rich and handsome, you have all three things, don't enjoy it, thank God for giving you such a good life with gratitude, and do all the evil things, now the corpse is hanging here, not even holding the loess, why bother. ”

People in this world are often like this, if there is one, they think about two, and if they have two, they think about three, and they never cherish what they get. This white chopping chicken has the blessing of the old man Zhao, it can be said that he will not worry for a lifetime, and he should be content with the second ancestor for a lifetime, such a life is how many ordinary people can't ask for it, but unfortunately, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants.

At this moment, Tofu is also squatting next to me, slipping on the drum, and it is easy to fall down if I am not careful. I suddenly remembered the scene when the dumb man fell just now, and thought of the black shadow on the drum, and suddenly understood in my heart that the black shadow must have come out of the hole behind us, and it attacked the dumb man by taking advantage of the terrain, and the dumb man naturally followed him after coming up, so there was the scene of the previous big change of life.

It wasn't the mute and the dark shadow that had disappeared, but they had burrowed into the ice.

I quickly got up, and said to myself that the black shadow didn't know what it was, and it was better to be careful, in case it tried to push the dumb man to yin me, I didn't have the confidence to stop in mid-air. At this time, Tofu suddenly asked me with a puzzled voice: "Lao Chen, how did you say this white chicken died?" He's not bad at it, he's much better than me anyway. Secondly, he still has a safety lock fastened around his waist, even if he accidentally falls down, and then climbs up along the rope, how can he die here like this? ”

When he said this, I also felt strange, and I couldn't help but take a closer look at the body of the white chicken, the body was frozen, the face was white and blue, the muscles of the face were condensed into a strange expression because of the stiffness, and the eyes were bulging, as if they were very unwilling.

If you look closely, there are coagulated blood stains on his neck, but it is not clear whether it is a fatal wound or not. The dumb man wanted to pull the white chicken up before, and he estimated that he wanted to search his body, but before he could search, he was pitted by the black shadow that he didn't know what it was. This white chopped chicken is the son of Old Man Zhao, and it is not impossible for Old Man Zhao to hand over the map to him for safekeeping, so I said to Tofu: "I am vigilant, you pull the corpse up." ”

Tofu was not verbose, rubbed his hands, twisted the rope with both hands, and the body was slowly lifted up. In this process, I kept an eye on the ice cave behind me, but fortunately, there was no danger, and the body was lifted up smoothly.

We pulled the body into the ice and began to examine the cause of his death. Because it has been frozen hard, the white chopped chicken still maintains a posture with his hands, feet and neck leaning back, and his chest and abdomen are protruding. I looked at his neck and was stunned.

Because he had a round hole in his neck, I could tell at a glance that it was a gunshot wound, and a fatal shot.

Immediately I had this scene in my mind: the white chicken hit the chisel, locked the safety buckle, and was about to descend to the center of the drum, but at that moment, someone from above shot him. ’

Who is this person?

You know, this team is the team of the Zhao family, who would dare to shoot at Bai Chopping Chicken?

Could it be that the people in the team eat black?

But if you eat black, you have to have a reason to eat black, why does that person eat black? Or what is there to eat until something of value is found?

In the process of the death of the white chicken, where did Old Man Zhao go? How could he possibly watch someone kill his own son?

I sorted out this series of questions, and asked Tofu's opinion by the way, he thought about it and said, "Old man Zhao may not be there, they may be separated." As for eating black ...... I don't think it's possible, it's not bad to eat white chicken without eating others, if someone wants to eat black him, with this person's shrewdness, he would have started first. ”

I said, "Your mind is pretty clear at this point. ”

Tofu said: "A person like you who is observant is called clever; Someone like me who goes straight to the source is called great wisdom; Let me tell you so, you see...... Instead of thinking about why he was killed now, why don't we think about why he tied a rope around his waist when he was fine? ”

My heart moved, and I said, "Is there something in this drum?" ”

Tofu shook his head and said, "Then I don't know, anyway, Bai Chop Chicken must have wanted to go down at that time." I immediately drew my dagger and said, "You keep watch over there, and by the way, search him to see if you can find a leak." I'll go down and take a look. Then I replaced the rope around the waist of the white chicken, tied it to my waist, and began to slide down the drum surface.

When the drum is closer, you can smell a special smell of leather goods, and strangely enough, there is no trace of connection to the drum surface, that is, its drum surface is made of a whole piece of skin.

What kind of animal can leather be so big when unfolded?

At this time, the rope had been put to the bottom, and I was hanging at the position where the white chicken was dead at that time, and at this time, I suddenly found that there was a line of blood characters on the drum surface!

The corner of my eye jumped, and I immediately went to look.

Obviously, this is written by Bai Choji struggling before he died, the handwriting is very confusing, the number of words is not much, and half a sentence is written on it: It's too late to regret, kill me Zhao ......

The second half of the sentence was not finished, but when I saw the word Zhao, I couldn't help but be shocked, and thought: Is the person who killed him also surnamed Zhao? It can't be Second Master Zhao, right? This idea was a bit unreliable, and I quickly rejected it, after all, who would kill their only child for no reason?
