Chapter 12 Acting Alone
This thought made my heart move, if this is the case, then the dumb man may already know his identity, in this case, why did he come to the tomb of the giant ear king? Seeing that I didn't reply for a long time, Lu Su thought that I didn't agree, so he said again: "If you really think he can't be trusted, I have a way, you can follow secretly." “
I said, "Is it possible to complete your cooperation?" ”
Lu Su smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Chen, I've been waiting for too long, this operation is very important to everyone, I can't wait." ”
I looked at his helpless expression and asked, "Can I just wait?" If I don't say yes, what do you want? Lu Su was slightly silent, and finally sighed and said, "If you don't agree, I have no choice but to start over." ”
I said, "That's a beautiful thing you said. ”
Lu Su put away his sadness, and finally smiled slightly, and did not answer, but turned around and walked towards the camp, and then said to the mute: "The team led by Lu Su cannot be dismantled." You are at your own convenience. Then he turned to look at us and said, "Pack up your things and go back, and come back later." ”
Feng Ghost glanced at me, his eyes were strange, he just leaned into Lu Su's ear, I don't know what to say, Lu Su frowned, looked at me again, and finally shook his head. I don't know what Ghost Feng said to Lu Su, but at this moment, I was very complicated, I didn't expect that Lu Su would give up this great opportunity because of me. The main purpose of the dumb man is to make statements, and he does not conflict with Lu Su, these two are definitely a strong team together.
But for me......
I Chen Hang has lived for most of my life, since my grandfather disappeared, I have seen a lot of conflicts of interest, I didn't expect that at this time, Lu Su would give up the interests for me.
Suddenly, everyone packed up their equipment, and the dumb man did not stop us, but just watched us leave. I looked at Lu Su's gloomy face, and I felt a little uncomfortable. Sensing my gaze, Lu Su reluctantly smiled and said, "Don't go to your heart, just assume that you haven't met these people." We still have only one way back. ”
Bai Chop Chicken stopped with Li Fatzi, and said in a weird manner: "Haven't you encountered it?" Lu Su, what you said is light, it's useless, have you ever thought that this surnamed Wu is in front, even if we go last, what is left behind will be leftovers. If he is a little more ruthless, we won't even be able to drink the soup. The two stopped, and it was clear that Bai Chop Chicken was not going to go back with us.
Lu Su smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhao, Wu Shui is arrogant, you are old, I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of you." This is a beautiful statement, but in fact it is an allusion that a dumb man will not fight with an old man like him.
Bai Chopping Chicken patted Li Fatzi and sneered: "I have him, don't worry about you." ”
The smile on Lu Su's face was a little unbearable, and finally said, "There will be a period later." ”
Feng Ghost whistled and said, "I said Brother Lu, my partner fee can be increased." ”
Lu Su nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Naturally, I won't treat you badly." ”
At this moment, we have not gone far, we can see the figure of the mute and his party standing by the river, at this moment, the dumb man turned his head, and his eyes suddenly met with me, for some reason, I suddenly felt that this glance, the cold and arrogant chill in his eyes had dissipated, and in its place, it seemed to be a very strange feeling, and I couldn't find the adjective for a while. I just feel that kind of gaze, there is no malice, and even, it reminds me of my grandfather.
I couldn't help but stop, however, in the blink of an eye, the feeling disappeared again, and the dumb gaze was cold, like a thousand years of ice, and the qiē just now seemed to be just my delusion. At this time, I looked at the corners of Lu Su and the others' tight lips, and felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, and finally said, "You guys go back." ”
Lu Su raised his head and asked me what was going on.
I said, "If there's a shortcut, why don't you take it?" Let's partner with Wu Shui. ”
Feng Ghost raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what should you do?" ”
I said, "I won't give up, not this time, and next time, I'll go back first." ”
Kuroko was surprised: "Then how can it be done, this place is so dangerous, how can you deal with it alone." Feng Ghost shook his head, signaling that he would not express his position, and looked at Lu Su. Lu Su said lightly: "Don't think too much, Shi Ye, life, I admit it." ”
I couldn't help but smile, to be honest, I don't know if Lu Su really gave up this opportunity for me, or if he was just acting for me, waiting for me to say something like this. But these are not important to me, I have lived for half a lifetime, who is trustworthy, who can only be a partner, I know very well in my heart, so I said that it was decided, the opportunity is rare, don't lose the whole team for me alone, if it is really as Bai Chop Chicken said, the dumb one step ahead, no one knows what will happen, eighty percent will not even have soup left.
Immediately after, without waiting for Lu Su to speak again, I divided my equipment, and Lu Su saw that I had made up his mind, sighed, handed me the probe claw, and signaled that I could use this thing on the return trip. The method of making the probe claw has long been lost, this thing is generally only in the hands of everyone like Lu Su, and it is also a treasure, I am not polite, I took the thing, put the equipment bag on my back, waved my hand to everyone, and signaled to part ways.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me drift away, and finally disappeared completely.
I stopped, looked back, then sat down, leaned against a tree, and pulled out a half-pack of cigarettes and smoked silently. This opportunity is rare, how could I go back for a dumb word?
The only way now is to distance yourself from them and follow them.
The mute and the others are well equipped, they should continue to choose to take the waterway, without the snake king, the rest of the pythons are not to be afraid, as long as they light the sulfur, they can face the water. What am I going to do? The only way for me to do this is to take a dry road, which will take more time, and the equipment on my body is only some food, medicine, ropes, daggers and other things, and there are no weapons with great attack power, and what danger there is in this jungle is unknown.
But I'm not a person who gives up lightly, this opportunity is missed, with my own ability, to organize the next Tomb of the Giant Ear King, this chance is really small, I'm afraid that I can't wait for that day, I will be cursed to death.
After sitting under the tree for more than an hour, I estimated that Lu Su and the others had already set off again, so I put on my equipment bag and walked back, and when I walked to the location where I had camped before, it was empty, and the raft was gone. In addition, there were a lot of branches scattered around, and it seemed that there were many of them, and they also made another raft.
You know, when Lu Su and I set up that raft before, it took more than two hours, and now, only about an hour, there is no one on the river.
Without further hesitation, I began to put my feet on the ground and head towards the second bend. For the sake of safety, I have been walking on land and water, and when I turn my head, I can see the Nu River, although the humidity is very heavy, but except for amphibians, most creatures do not like to live directly near the water, so the area at the junction of water and land is relatively safe most of the time.
After about half an hour, it was getting closer and closer to the python forest before, and those pythons were coiled on the canopy of the tree in the water, thinking that they liked water. I didn't dare to continue to go forward, so I took a detour into the jungle, and kept away from the river, before continuing to move forward, sure enough, I didn't find those cyan pythons along the way, but it was more stable than the previous road, and there were no strange things, but the road was dead and rotten, and the miasma and poisonous insects in the forest suffered a lot.
As I walked away, it was night, and I looked at the time, and it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and although it was still early, the forest was already about to be covered in darkness. While the surroundings hadn't completely darkened, I quickly found a place to stay. It's a tree hole, and it used to be a beast that I used to think was inhabited, and there were some ants crawling in it. I lit a damp piece of dry wood, smoked the ants out of the hollow, cleaned up a little, and lit a bonfire in front of the hollow before I settled down.
At this moment, the black liquid descended, in the dark jungle, from time to time there were all kinds of strange sounds, I curled up in the tree hole, I didn't dare to sleep deeply, the slightest abnormal movement would wake up, so that after the night, the next day dragged the tired body to continue to walk.
At this time, I estimated that I had already walked through the second bend, and because of the dense forest, I couldn't see the situation behind me, so I decided to go to the river to see if there were any clues left by Lu Su and others. At that time, Lu Su only told us to go through the three bends, but it was unknown what to do after the three bends.
Who knows, I didn't walk long towards the direction of the river, and in the woods in front of me, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.
It's the footsteps of people.
As you can tell, there are quite a few people.
I was stunned for a moment, and my heart said, "Are they dumb?" It's strange that they should be much faster when they take the waterway, and they shouldn't stay in this place.
Before I could react, those people had already come out of the forest, and when I saw it, they were mute.
