The team set off again, at first Lao Gu still maintained his previous position not far behind a few guys who opened the road, and after walking for a long time, Lao Gu had already crossed the guy who opened the road and walked in the forefront.

"What's wrong?" Ji Wenlin felt that Xia Yanru beside him had stopped, and immediately asked with concern.

"I don't know, it doesn't feel right." Xia Yanru shook her head, her heart was inexplicably tight for a moment, but after stopping to feel it carefully, this feeling was gone.

"Isn't it the right route?" Ji Wenlin's face was heavy, what they had been worried about was that Lao Gu was bad on the road, so they would always pay attention to the right and wrong route he carried.

"The temporary direction is right, but we are not familiar with this mountain, even if the direction is right, but the same direction, may lead to several destinations, if our guess about Lao Gu is correct, he will definitely not take us to Xiganggou, maybe somewhere else." The most likely scenario that Xia Yanru could think of was that Lao Gu would do something on the line near Xiganggou, maybe take them to a place and sneak away.

Of course, Xia Yanru's speculation has a worse ending, which will also take them to some unknown place, and then take the opportunity to kill their entire archaeological team.

"Don't think about it, what should happen will always happen, let's pay more attention to ourselves, and once we find an abnormality, we will strike first." Ji Wenlin rubbed the top of Xia Yanru's hair, no matter how much he thought about it now, he couldn't figure out Lao Gu's true motives and plans.

"Hmm." Xia Yanru nodded, thinking that maybe all this was just their own brain supplement, maybe Lao Gu just didn't look very good, but in fact he was just an ordinary and honest hunter.

But I think so, but it is impossible to say this, and the probability that he is an honest person is even more small than the probability that Lao Gu has bad intentions.

Putting aside the messy thoughts in her mind, Xia Yanru raised her feet and continued to keep up with the team, as Ji Wenlin said, everything that should happen will happen, since you can't avoid it, take precautions in advance.

Professor Hu and the others in front didn't know Xia Yanru's worries, and at this time, the professor just trotted all the way to catch up with Lao Gu in front, saying something with a trusting look on his face.

It's getting late, and in the deep mountains, night roads are always avoided as much as possible, but tonight's team has not stopped, that is, Professor Hu has little experience in the field, and he feels that it is a bit difficult to go on like this.

"Brother Gu, can we find a place to camp first, it's dark this day, I'm afraid it will be dangerous if we go on like this." Professor Hu sincerely suggested.

"It's almost there." Lao Gu looked back at Professor Hu with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes, but because the night was covered, even if the two were very close, Professor Hu didn't see it.

Hearing that it was almost there, Professor Hu was a little entangled in whether to grit his teeth and continue to take advantage of the night, or insist on stopping for the night, whether there was almost no field experience, and he subconsciously looked towards the back of the team.

He struggled to find Ji Wenlin's location in the night, but he usually didn't pay much attention to it, but I have to say that when faced with such a difficult choice, he couldn't help but want to consult the other party's opinion.

"Professor Hu, let's walk for another half hour, and after half an hour, we must stop and rest no matter what." Ji Wenlin also noticed Professor Hu's dilemma in the rear, and he was also rejected by risking the dark to travel at night, so he quickly helped Professor Hu make a decision.

"Okay, then let's go on for another half hour." Professor Hu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and secretly rejoiced that Ji Wenlin didn't insist on walking at night, he didn't care about his old arms and legs, but when he thought of so many young faces after retiring from the army, he didn't want them to be in danger.

Lao Gu naturally heard the voice from behind, his eyes narrowed slightly, a little unsure if the other party had found something or just happened, this half an hour had been very close to the place he was going, but it happened to be an easily imperceptible distance.

Half an hour was very fast, Professor Hu kept an eye on the time, and after confirming that it was half an hour, he decisively announced that today's trip had come to an end for the time being.

"Something is wrong with Gu, he seems to want us to go through the night very much." While waiting for dinner, Tang Yulou walked to Xia Yanru's side, speaking in a very low voice, and his eyes were also paying attention to the movements around him at any time.

"It's not just a night trip, but he wants to use the night to achieve his goal." Xia Yanru had already discovered a place with some abnormal structure in the process of just half an hour, that place did not look like a group of buildings, and judging from the surrounding space, there was only an independent building there.

Xia Yanru guessed that there should be a trap or something like that, because it would be easy to find during the day, so Lao Gu thought about rushing over at night, so that he could use the night road as an excuse after the incident.

"Is there an ambush ahead?" Tang Yulou's face sank, and his first reaction was that there was an ambush ahead.

"Maybe it's an ambush, maybe it's a trap, but it's definitely not Xiganggou." Xia Yanru said firmly.

"According to your judgment, how far are we from Xiganggou now, if it really doesn't work, we will go to Xiganggou ourselves." Tang Yulou thought for a while and proposed.

"Can't get around, the general direction is right, but Lao Gu should have taken us to the wrong fork in the road, if you want to find Xiganggou, you have to rely on him." Xia Yanru shook her head, the fundamental reason why they were looking for a guide was that they couldn't accurately locate the location of Xiganggou, if they could bypass Lao Gu and find it themselves, then there was no need for them to ask for a guide in the first place.

"In that case, let's stop and camp now, it should break his plan, but I just noticed that Lao Gu's expression is still very calm, could it be that something was overlooked by us?" Tang Yulou said with some hesitation.

Tang Yulou's doubts are not what other insiders are also puzzled about, but they can't remember what the problem is for a while, and what will they miss?

With this doubt, Xia Yanru and the others didn't sleep very well at night, and when it was her turn to be on duty, the moment she walked out of the simple tent, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and she knew what was missing!

"Haven't woken up yet? Otherwise, if you go to sleep again, I'll be on duty all night. Ji Wenlin followed her and stood beside Xia Yanru, looking at her waiting for the fire in front of her with hazy eyes, thinking that she hadn't woken up.

"It's not." Xia Yanru came back to her senses, her face was more serious than ever, she first glanced in the direction of Lao Gu's rest, and then walked lightly to the fire and sat down.

When Ji Wenlin also came over and sat down, and there was silence around him, Xia Yanru lowered her voice and said, "Uncle Lou mentioned before that we missed something, I thought about it just now." ”

"What is it?" Ji Wenlin also learned from her and asked in a suppressed voice.
