After listening to Lantern Xiao's words, I shook my head, "You should still be careful, don't forget the figure I saw at the bottom of the cliff just now." If we hadn't hid quickly at that time, we would have lost our breath by now! ”

Lantern Xiao thought about it, slowed down the movement in his hand, and nodded, "Okay, I know!" We can observe from the outside now, and then take action. ”

I nodded in agreement, and I followed Lantern Festival and began to pack up my equipment.

Anaduo asked us with some dissatisfaction, "You really don't plan to try the clues left by your second uncle?" ”

I saw that her expression was really anxious, so I put down my equipment and explained to Anado: "I don't go to follow the clues left by my second uncle, the reason is very simple, that graphic symbol is not for me to see at all. ”

"Not for you to see?" As smart as Anador didn't turn the corner for a while, "What do you mean?" ”

I continued: "Think about it, that symbol is engraved in such an inconspicuous place, if it weren't for the Lantern Festival looking for something to start the fire, and accidentally walked under that tree, we would never have found it." ”

Anador frowned slightly, "Then who is he left for?" ”

I shook my head, "I don't know, so the previous situation is that I don't understand the meaning of the mark left by the second uncle, and I know very well that this is not for me to see, so we can't blindly follow it, I would rather ignore its existence and judge the route forward with my own judgment." ”

Lantern Xiao also said beside him: "Zhuo Ran is right, what if that mark means that direction is dangerous?" Didn't we ram ourselves into the muzzle of the gun in our reckless past! ”

After listening to my words and Lantern Xiao's words, Anaduo also seemed to calm down, bowing her head and being silent. So we went ahead and packed our gear.

And at this time, as soon as I inadvertently looked up, I found that the green smoke in the distance had undergone a strange change. The green smoke just now was still in the state of a pillar of smoke, but at this time, it turned into a cloud of smoke, as if it had been cut into many pieces by an invisible knife.

I patted Lantern Xiao, who was lowering my head to clean up my things, "Oops! Look! ”

Lantern Xiao looked up, and his face immediately changed, "This, this, it seems that someone is using this green smoke to send signals?" ”

"Signal?" I looked at the clouds of green smoke rising in the air in the distance, looking disorganized. "What's this signal?"

Lantern Xiao said: "This way of using smoke to transmit information is called smoke letter. This was a very bullish way of transmitting information in ancient times, a bit like the Great Wall beacon tower that we have all heard of, using the beacon fire relay to sound the alarm. But the cigarette message is much more complicated, and it is simply equivalent to the current short-range wireless intercom. According to the data, the only known in the world is the ancient Chinese Northern Xiongnu and the North American Indian Aborigines, who used this method to transmit information. ”

Lantern Xiao opened his mouth and said that the head was the Tao, which really impressed me a little, and Anado was also attracted, and asked: "Then how does this kind of cigarette letter convey the message?" ”

Lantern Xiao said: "Actually, the method is very simple, it is nothing more than to raise a bunch of wolf smoke. ”

Anado felt very fresh about this kind of knowledge and was very interested, "What is wolf smoke?" ”

I told her that wolf smoke is the smoke that rises from the burning of wolf dung, and legend has it that this smoke will always float into the sky and will not disperse easily. But that's not the case, the real wolf smoke is hay or dry branches.

Lantern Xiao nodded, "That's what Zhuo Ran said, after lighting the wolf smoke, someone will hold a deerskin, half covered with the wolf smoke, and then shake the deer skin with a specific frequency, so that the wolf smoke floats out in a corresponding rhythm, so as to achieve the purpose of transmitting a certain message, in fact, the operation is not difficult, the difficult thing is that the two sides need to agree on the code in advance, just like the password in the telegram." ”

Hearing Lantern Xiao say this, I was slightly disappointed, "So, if we hadn't agreed with the person who smoked the smoke in advance, we wouldn't have understood the meaning?" ”

Lan Xiao shook his head, "Not necessarily, it's like the Morse code of the telegram is similar, as long as he doesn't encrypt it, there is a possibility of understanding it." ”

"This thing has Morse code too?" I was a little confused.

Lantern Xiao gave me a blank look, "What Morse code!" The most basic information method of wolf smoke was once unified by the famous ruler of the ancient Northern Xiongnu, Mao Dunshan, so that it is convenient for different tribes to quickly transmit ordinary information through smoke letters, just like the current national promotion of Mandarin, everyone is easy to communicate. ”

I hurriedly interrupted Lantern Festival's words, "Then don't talk nonsense, hurry up and see, what message does Qingyan want to convey?" ”

Lantern Xiao nodded, stared at the green smoke seriously for a while, and then frowned, but did not speak.

I urged, "I said you kid can't do it?" It's been so lively for the past half a day, can you kid understand it? ”

Lantern Xiao waved her hand to signal me to be quiet, and then looked at it intently for a while, and suddenly her expression changed, and she looked at me with a frightened face: "Oh no, something may happen!" ”

"Something?" I looked at Lantern Festival in amazement, "What's wrong?" Something happened to Wenmo? ”

Lan Xiao shook her head, "No, it's not Wenmo, it's your second uncle!" ”

"My second uncle?" I asked, "What does this have to do with my second uncle?" I stepped forward and grabbed Lantern Xiao and asked, "Tell me quickly, what is the content of the cigarette letter?" ”

Lantern Xiao opened his mouth and said: "I'm not very good at it, I can only understand the general pronunciation meaning!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense about you!" I was in a hurry," I said. ”

Lantern Xiao nodded and said a few words: "Zhuo Qiu, kill." ”

"What!" I jumped up all of a sudden, "Does anyone want to kill my second uncle?" ”

"That's all I can see, don't panic first, maybe I'm wrong, maybe things are not what you imagined at all!" When he said these words, Lantern Xiao also frowned, and I knew that his heart was not as relaxed as he said.

Hearing Lantern Xiao's words, Anaduo also became nervous, "What should I do?" The mound will not be in danger! ”

I took a deep breath, "Let's not panic, my second uncle is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is not such a simple thing to kill him." But let's get on as soon as possible! Hope to find him sooner! ”

I said this, Lantern Xiao and Anador both nodded in agreement, and this time we didn't hesitate anymore, picked up our equipment, and went straight into the swamp, ready to start crossing. Our plan is to find the location of the smoke just now, hoping to catch the person who sent the message, and if it's too late, we also hope to find some clues.

Actually, I still have an idea, if Wenmo is nearby, he should also go to find out if he sees such news, maybe we can meet there. However, we still have to be careful, because we can't rule out the possibility of this trap!

As we moved forward, my heart was full of doubts for a while, who was going to be unfavorable to my second uncle? What is their purpose? In the vast jungle around me, I am increasingly worried about the mysterious force that hides in the shadows.

We move forward in the swamps, where there are raised layers of peat, and we go around blister-like places. Seeing the green smoke in front of us slowly fade, in order not to lose the direction of the direction, we hurriedly began to memorize some special references near it.

Walking in the swamp was much more difficult than I thought, after all, if it weren't for this series of events, I might never have entered this place for the rest of my life, let alone me, even Anado, who grew up in the mountains, was the first time to come to such a place.

In some places, it looks like a raised piece of land, but when you step up, you realize that it is just a layer of salt crust floating in the water. It would fall into the knee-high water and get wet all over the body, which really made us feel miserable.

As we progressed, the remains of buildings began to appear in some places. However, this situation has also brought us some convenience, and we have more places to stay and rest.

Walking and walking, the Lantern Festival at the front suddenly stopped in front of a large water bubble, stared at the water for a while, beckoned to us, we went over to take a look, only to find that in this puddle, there is a huge stone statue. The statue had collapsed and sunk into the congregation, leaving only its massive head near the water.

However, the face of this statue gives me a strange feeling, because there are many pairs of eyes carved into the face of this stone statue.

A face full of eyes except for the mouth and nose is really terrifying. I felt uncomfortable standing here, and was about to leave, when I turned my head when I suddenly saw a series of huge blisters coming out of the bottom of the water!

This discovery made me stunned for a moment, and suddenly there were blisters under the water, could it be that there was something under the water?

And when I focused on it again, the blisters were gone. I shook my head, guessing that maybe I was too nervous and misread it for a moment. So I didn't pay too much attention to it and continued to move forward.

We greatly underestimated the difficulty of the swamp before we came in, so in this case, it was much more off schedule than we had originally estimated! We had intended to reach the other side of the swamp before dark, but now that the sun was setting in the west, we were only halfway there. It was getting dark, which greatly increased our psychological stress.

Although we have been walking in the swamp for half a day, nothing unusual has happened, but I will not agree to let me spend the night here!

In this way, we have increased the speed of our travel, and at the same time, we no longer have the same route as we did in the beginning. In this way, soon the three of us became mud monkeys, embarrassed!
