Back at the hotel, the fat man asked me in detail about what happened in the half-step increase, which was not very convenient at the wine table before.

I told him one by one, and the fat man said again and again that I had a bad luck with shit, and said that he would go with me next time he would go more than half a step with me.

I nodded, and now that I think about it, I still feel palpitations, the part of the lost channel was really too dangerous, and I almost didn't come back.

After we talked for a while, I suddenly remembered the colorful eagle and asked the fat man, "Did you see the colorful eagle later?" ”

"Yes, you didn't come out after half an hour, so I went close to see it, and it flew out." The fat man said.

I nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Nothing happened to it, right?" ”

"No, but it's tired enough, it must have been flying for a long time." The fat man said.

I was speechless for a while, and my heart said What was the colorful eagle chasing that night? At the time, I thought it was chasing the Yinyang boat, but now it doesn't, and I flew away in a hurry, as if I had found a hen.

I can't figure it out after thinking about it for a while, I don't think about it anymore, as long as it's okay, Rouge Lake is a little evil, I'm afraid it's not just a place for the Yin and Yang boat to dock.

Because there are many places where the Yin and Yang boats dock, Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake, and even Chaohu Lake, but I haven't heard that it has become a place of evil because it is the docking place of Yin Yang Road.

In terms of development, Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake have been developed to a much higher extent than Rouge Lake.

Rouge Lake may have other secrets, the origin of its name is because there are many green buildings next to it, and the rouge gouache used by countless Hongchen women for more than 1,000 years washed into the lake, and it was obtained over time; It's a bit cloudy.

After that, I asked if there had been any changes in the situation in eastern Sichuan in the past few days, and the fat man said that Xu Ye was waiting for him, and the appointment of the family had also come down, and Xu Ye temporarily took the position of the head of the eastern Sichuan District.

"Just the head of the generation?"

I'm slightly disappointed, there must be Miao Han's father and son who are getting in the way again, a code word means that it can be revoked at any time, Xu Ye must be careful, can't let Miao Han and his son catch the handle in the back, otherwise it will be another storm.

The fat man saw that I was a little worried, so he said: "Don't worry, even the acting general manager is enough to crush Miao Hai to death, Biluo Valley has begun to favor Xu Ye, this time send someone to search Rouge Lake Biluo Valley will be dispatched, and the situation is becoming more and more favorable to us." ”

I nodded, since Brother Gua and the leather coat have come to the eastern Sichuan District, then Xu Ye's power can completely crush Miao Hai, but what makes me a little puzzled is that Miao Hai, an arrogant and domineering guy, has actually been a shrunken turtle for so long, and there is no other action except to woo Biluogu. The silence is a little abnormal, and so is Cao Tiankun, and this guy's loyalty is also questionable.

However, it is enough for Xu Ye to worry about these things, he is much more old-fashioned, Cao Tiankun's abnormal movements have already entered his field of vision, and he must not be able to make any waves.

After a little more talking, we took our things out and planned to find a boat to go to the cold water cave.

There is only one waterway in the cold water cave, and the only means of transportation that can pass through it is a boat, and it is a narrow boat.

I vaguely remember that there were some fishermen in the south of the town, and they had fishing boats in their hands, and they probably got them from them in the past.

When we came to the river, the fat man and I searched along the riverbank, and soon found a fisherman's house near the water, and behind the house were two slender fishing boats, one of which was even equipped with a thruster.

The fat man stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the door was opened by an old man with a weathered face, who knew at a glance that he was a fisherman who fished on the water all the year round, he only opened a crack in the door, and saw that we were unfamiliar, and asked vigilantly: "What are you doing?" ”

"Boatman, we want to borrow your boat." The fat man said.

"Borrow a boat?" When the old man heard this, he pushed the door with a look of disgust.

The fat man hurriedly pressed against the door and said hurriedly: "Don't don't, don't, we pay, we pay!" ”

"The rent is three thousand, and the deposit is ten thousand." The old man said without hesitation.

The fat man and I were stunned at the same time, and glanced at each other, not for the price, but for the old man's expression was wrong, with a dragging and impatient look, without the simplicity of the fisherman's family at all, as if ...... Often do the same with this business.

I thought of the leather-clad Gua Ge and them, and I thought to myself, maybe they were looking for the boat that this old man wanted before, but when I think about it, it doesn't seem right. It's been more than a year since that incident, and the old man shouldn't be this performance.

I was shocked, and a thought popped up in my heart, could it be that people have often come to this old man to rent a boat during this time?!

If that's the case, what is chartered for?

Waves stirred up in my heart!

The small fishing boat is worth a thousand yuan at most, and the rent is 3,000 yuan when the old man opens his mouth, and the deposit is even more outrageous 10,000 yuan. Now don't talk about Qinglong Town, even the factories in Fengdu County have a monthly salary of more than 1,000 or 2,000.

Renting a small fishing boat for 3,000 yuan is definitely expensive.

"Boatman, has anyone asked you to rent a boat lately?" I hurriedly asked.

The old man's face was vigilant, and he said impatiently: "Are you renting a boat?" ”

"Rent, of course." I hurriedly said; Judging by his appearance, if he hesitated, he would have forced the door closed.

At this time, I also found out that there was an explosion-proof chain hanging on his door, obviously I had prepared for it, and I couldn't figure out that there were other self-defense things inside, such as bird guns.

"Then give the money, I'll give the key." The old man said.

"No problem." I nodded, then took fifteen thousand dollars out of my bag and gave it to him.

He nodded, frowned slightly, and said, "Why are there two thousand more." ”

"The two thousand dollars will buy the answer to the question just now." I said.

The old man obviously knows something, just taking risks for money, this kind of person seems to be very difficult to deal with, but in fact, as long as the money is in place, everything is easy to say.

The old man looked at the banknote in his hand and nodded slowly: "Someone came to me to rent a boat." ”

After saying that, he handed out two keys, but he didn't want to say a word. After the fat man took the key, he closed the door without hesitation.

I frowned slightly, my prediction came true, someone really rented a boat here and went to the cold water cave!

Those who can afford 3,000 rent and 10,000 yuan deposit to rent a small fishing boat will definitely not be ordinary people, only Qimen people, and Qimen people will never go fishing, and there can only be one.

Someone is eyeing the cold water hole!

When I went to the water's edge with the fat man, I found that the fishing boat was new, not even painted, and the small gasoline thruster was brand new.

The fat man used the key to open the chain tied to the boat, checked the fuel tank, and then used another key to activate the thruster, and after making sure that there was no problem, he steered the fishing boat upstream to the Nanxi River.

The propeller is used on the assault boat, which is full of horsepower for this small fishing boat, and it goes very fast all the way.

In less than half an hour, the boat diverged into the waterway to the cold water hole, and soon arrived at the cold water pool, the fat man turned off the engine and looked at the hole of the cold water hole, frowned and said: "Haruko, although I haven't been here, something is obviously wrong." ”

I looked at the dark hole and didn't see anything wrong, so I asked, "What's wrong?" What did you find? ”

"I'm not talking about the hole, I'm talking about the ship at your feet, it shouldn't be new." The fat man swept the flashlight to the boat under his feet and explained: "This boat is rented, since it is rented, it must be returned, the old man said that someone had rented his ship before, so this ship has been used, and it should not be new." ”

"You are what I said......" My heart pounded, it was a little strange before, but I didn't expect this layer.

The fat man nodded and said, "Those who went in didn't come out, even people with boats!" ”

"Damn!" I scolded, no wonder the old man was so vigilant, and the ship was still new, and the original rent of 10,000 yuan was not planned to be refunded, because the people did not come back!

Where is he renting a ship, he is selling ships for 13,000 yuan, and he is doing the business of a dying man!

"I don't know much about this place, did a lot of people know about it before?" The fat man asked.

"Hardly anyone knows." I shook my head, knowing that there were not many people here, and there was obviously a ban on the entrance of the cave, ordinary people could not see the entrance at all, and it was in the deep mountains and forests, with only a narrow waterway, and it was inaccessible.

Who could it be?

I groaned.

Gua Ge Pi Yike, they are definitely not, and Hong Qingsheng and Ma Yongde should also be unlikely.

Could it be Chen Jiutong?

But Chen Jiutong knows some of the circumstances inside, and it is unlikely that he will die inside, and looking at the old man's familiar business, presumably the people who come here should come in waves, not one or two.

Could it be a certain force?

I was a little confused, I had no clue, I couldn't figure it out.

"Do you want to go in?"

The fat man looked at me and asked, the meaning was obvious, there was danger in it.

I can't make up my mind at once, I've been to the cold water cave many times, although it's eerie and terrible, but there is nothing dangerous in the end, just a ghost ray, a coffin guard, and a ghost-faced mouse. The first two are completely scaring themselves, and the latter is also a false alarm.

If there is any danger in it, there must be some change, and most of it was caused by the ghost army of Yin Si when they strangled the underground palace.

"Let's go inside, let's be careful." After thinking about it for a while, I still decided to go in and take a look, even if there is danger, I have to know what danger is not, otherwise I will be scared to pee my pants before I go in, and my growth for more than a year is in vain.

The fat man also nodded and pulled out the green sword, I simply wiped the blood on the tip of the tongue on the weapons of both of them, and then the fat man put down the green sword, took out the spare wood pulp and paddled gently, and controlled the boat into the cold water hole.

I was armed with a heavy knife and a flashlight to put on guard in front.

The cold water cave was as cool and damp as before, with cold water dripping from time to time above, covered with all kinds of stalactites, interlaced with canine teeth, and at first glance it looked like a beast's mouth. And there is no sign of life at all, there are no traces of small fish and shrimp under the clear water, and there are no mosses and other parasites on the stone walls.

What's even more terrifying is the echo here, the fat man has paddled as gently as possible, but the sound still reaches the depths of the water hole, and the echo is louder than the original sound.

I could even hear the sound of my own breathing echoing around me, and it was as silent as death, except for me and the fat man, who were constantly reverberating, which was particularly permeating.

After walking for more than a thousand meters, there was suddenly an open field in front of me, and the coffin was stopped.

On both sides of the waterway, hundreds of coffins are densely arranged, some are large and some are small, some are square and some are long, some are very good, some look like rough wooden coffins, and the same is that the patina on the coffin grows long, and some are even a foot long.

But what surprised us the most was not the coffins, but the fact that there were as many as five or six fishing boats parked on both sides of the waterway, exactly like the ones under our feet, tied to the stones next to us, and the boats were empty.

I glanced at the fat man, and my previous guess was correct, the ship was there, and the people were gone.

I irradiated the surroundings with a flashlight, but I didn't find anything unusual, and there were some vague footprints on the ground, extending into the coffin forest.

"Something's wrong, be careful." The fat man whispered.

I nodded, and then we disembarked, and I followed the fat man in front of me, and in the direction of the faint footprints, I felt into the coffin forest; After walking for a while, the ground hardened and the footprints disappeared.

After walking for a while, something mottled black suddenly appeared on the ground in front of me.

When the fat man saw it, he immediately said, "It's blood, dried blood." ”

My scalp was numb, and I swept forward with my flashlight, and found that the blood was snaking forward, and even found traces of dragging in some dusty places.

Something really happened, there was a murder here!

The bloodstains finally ended next to a dark blue coffin, and the coffin lid clearly showed signs of opening!
