Chapter 16: Ten Years Is Too Long

(It's a little delayed today, so I'll put the two chapters together)

——

Wu Xiaoxie's mind spun quickly, and he immediately reacted, "Huh? He, he just finished the hospital some time ago, his body is not very good, he went out and went around and suffered from heat stroke, and he is still lying in bed at this time, you see I have to take care of two patients, and I can't leave, so I will trouble you."

On the bamboo floor, Zhang Qixun stuck to the crack of the door, looked at the clouds and walked out of the courtyard gate, turned his head and looked at the little brother with a smile.

The little brother had a slumped face, unable to see any expression.

Wu Xiaoxie leaned on the edge of the wooden door in the outer courtyard, poked his head out, and saw that the clouds had indeed walked away along the bluestone path, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and waved to the two upstairs, signaling them to hurry up and come down.

The little brother looked at the "iron gourd" in his hand and was about to put it back.

Zhang Qixun said, "Take it, I don't think I will come back."

The little brother nodded, put the things in his pocket, and restored the dark compartment under the wooden table.

The two squeezed out through the crack in the door, closed the door, and returned to the bamboo building where they lived.

After Zhang Qixun finished sweeping the finishing work, he heard a noisy sound in the yard.

Gui, Doctor, and Sister Yuncai are all back.

Wu Xiaoxie helped the fat man who pretended to call upstairs, and saw the little brother lying on the bed with a wet towel on his head and his eyes closed.

glanced at Zhang Qixun, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and led the doctor to the side of the bed to see the two of them.

"Who is this?" Ah Gui looked at Zhang Qixun who suddenly appeared, and his expression was a little surprised.

Wu Xiaoxie explained with the same excuse.

Aguile said hello and took his two daughters down to cook.

After the doctor checked it, he got a bowl of green paste ointment for the fat man, smeared it on the fat man's face, said that this was particularly useful, and gave the little brother a pulse, but he didn't see any problems, only said that he should eat more blood-replenishing things.

Wu Xiaoxie sent the person out with a smile, returned, and when he looked at the fat man's green face, he couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Laughing fart." The fat man scolded in a low voice, and turned his head to look at the little brother who opened his eyes and sat up, "Little brother, did you and Muyu find anything upstairs?"

The little brother took out the iron lump from his arms and showed it to the fat two.

The fat man hissed, "It's exactly the same, what the hell is this thing?"

The little brother shook his head, his memory still not recovered.

Zhang Jixun took out his camera, "I didn't find any useful clues, and all I recorded were some things for engineering, which was very messy."

"Do engineering?" Wu Xiaoxie glanced at it, and he didn't know the words on it at all, "Could it be related to Chen Wenjin's expedition back then?"

"I don't know, we have too few clues in our hands, anyway, we're already here, let's take a step at a time." Zhang Qixun said calmly.

"Oh yes." Wu Xiaoxie suddenly remembered something, looked at Zhang Qixun, and said, "Didn't Chu Guangtou say that there are still photos in the stilt building? Have you seen it?"

Zhang Qixun nodded, took out a stack of stiff and stiff photos from his arms, and carefully spread them out on the bed one by one.

The photos are blurry, the margins are yellowed, I don't know if it's damp or whatever, some of the patterns on them are so muddy that I can't see it clearly.

But there are also surprises.

Two of the photos are like follow-ups to Chu Guangtou's photo, one is the back of the black shadow with a slumped shoulder, and the other is a side view.

The one on the back they could be sure of was the slumped shoulder they had fought with.

But on the side one, the face with slumped shoulders is blurred, as if someone deliberately processed his face when washing the photo.

Looking at it, Wu Xiaoxie suddenly exclaimed, pointing to a photo, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out.

The fat man leaned over to take a look, and screamed strangely, his eyes swirled back and forth on the photo and Wu Xiaoxie's face, and finally gasped, "Mother, why does this guy look the same as you!"

Suddenly something came to mind, "Damn, no, is it in that tape."

The person crawling around on the ground is the one in the photo?"

Wu Xiaoxie's face was white, and his brain was blank.

"Look again and see if there's anything else." The fat man muttered in his mouth, flipped through them, and picked aside all the photos that could still be seen.

"There's only this one." Zhang Qi searched.

The remaining photos are full of Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling, the background looks like it is in the mountains and forests, and there is a single Chen Wenjin, with a large lake behind him, and a part of the wooden box can be seen on the edge of the photo.

Wu Xiaoxie came back to his senses and stared at the photo with a frown, "Why does this person look the same as me?"

In fact, when he first saw this photo, Zhang Qixun hesitated, but in the end he didn't hide it.

Mr. Chen did not explain the man in the other tape who crawled like a beast on the floor of the Golmud basement.

The tape was sent to the little brother by "it", and it seems that it was simply to test the little brother and how much he still remembers the events of the year.

There are too many people with Wu Xie's face, so many that sometimes it is impossible to tell which is the real Wu Xie, but Wu Xie in Wu Shanju is the one who is the most like Wu Xie.

"It" can't find Qi Yu, it can only find the Wu Xie who most resembles Qi Yu.

In this way, by observing Wu Xie, we can analyze the reactions of others.

The reason why Zhang Qixun didn't hide the photo was also to give Wu Xiaoxie a shot in advance to prevent it, peeling off the cocoon is what Wu Xiaoxie is best at, as long as he planted the seeds of doubt in his heart, and then experienced the Tibetan sea flower, Wu Xiaoxie would grow rapidly.

Ten years is too long.

Wu Xiaoxie's expression was a little surprised, "Regardless of who he is, according to the clues I investigated, Chen Wenjin's archaeological team did not have such a person, and when I saw her in the shaft, she didn't react in surprise to my face, so this photo is probably not related to the expedition team."

"Then why, the little brother put it in this pile of photos?" The fat man wondered.

The little brother frowned, obviously confused.

Zhang Qixun opened his mouth and said, "It's possible that the little brother himself investigated something, and this person may really have some kind of connection with the expedition team, so the little brother put it together."

Wu Xiaoxie rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, "Don't worry about this for now, we are mainly here to investigate the matter of the little brother this time, Agui said that he would help us find a guide, we have to go to the place where the expedition team stayed back then, maybe we can find more clues."

"Okay." Zhang Qixun nodded and put the photo in a ziplock bag.

There was a unique sound from the wooden staircase outside, and the fat man hurriedly urged the little brother to lie down and sleep on the side.

Soon, there was a knock on the door, and the crisp sound of clouds passed through the door panel and reached the ears of several people.

"Fat brother? Is your face feeling better? Why don't I bring you food upstairs."

Several people looked at the fat man in unison.

The fat man's green face had a painful expression, and he replied helplessly, "It's okay, it's okay, I won't bother Sister Yuncai, we'll go down later."

After sending the clouds away, the fat man wailed silently, "It's over, the fat man's reputation is all ruined today......

Wu Xiaoxie said disdainfully: "You save it quickly, the boss is not a small person, don't dream of spring, people are still underage, you can worship Agui at this age, and you are embarrassed to be a girl."

The fat man was not happy, "What do you call me this age, the fat man is in his golden age, he looks like Pan An, and Sister Yun Cai is completely a match made in heaven."

Wu Xiaoxie snorted, "The old cucumber is painted with green paint, shameless."

Zhang Qixun watched the two of them arguing, touched his chin, thought about it, and asked, "Fatty, do you really like it?"

When the fat man heard this, he immediately became vigilant, "What? Are you thinking about Sister Yuncai? I'm telling you, I can do everything else for you, and that's not it."

Wu Xiaoxiao sneered, "Look at the fat on your belly, and then look at the wooden fish, if I were a cloud, I wouldn't have any eyes."

Take care of you."

"Holy!" The fat man almost jumped up, "The fat man is wearing a body protector, what's the difference?" Maybe Sister Yuncai likes me to be honest and secure."

Zhang Qixun listened to the two of them talking farther and farther, and they were about to get involved in the relationship between gravity and fat growth, so he hurriedly raised his hand and made a pause.

"Okay, you can relax, master, I am a flower in Hangzhou, I can't even look down on uglier than me, if you really like clouds, we can be a staff officer and help you come up with ideas."

"Sister Cloud is the most beautiful in my heart." The fat man snorted, glanced at Zhang Qixun's face, and his expression distorted for a moment, "Damn, you said you kid, what do you do with a big man who looks so good." But seriously, if you can help me catch up with someone, you can pick whatever the fat man has in the Liuli Factory shop."

Zhang Qixun grinned, "Okay, it's hard to chase after a word, don't be reliant when the time comes."

The fat man raised his eyebrows, "Fat man, I don't count when I speak."

When the four of them went downstairs to eat, Agui said that he had already helped them tell the guide of the year that they could go to the old hunter's house tomorrow morning to find him.

"But that old man has a strange temper, you can tell him that you are from the government, and he will be more active, but you have to be careful, don't show your stuff." Agui admonished.

Back in the house, a few people discussed, in view of the fat man's face full of meat, he really did not look like an official person, so the fat man volunteered to go to the fertilizer factory to ask for sulfuric acid, melted the thing, and saw what was inside.

Wu Xiaoxie told him, "That thing is still a little dangerous, don't act rashly, wait for us to come back."

"You know, I'm not a three-year-old." The fat man said yes.

After the discussion, several people took a break.

I was afraid that something would happen at night, so Zhang Qixun and Wu Xiaoxie were in a room, and the little brother was still in a room with the fat man.

The next day, the fat man followed the clouds to find the fertilizer factory.

Zhang Qixun and the three of them went to find the old hunter with Ah Gui, that is, the old man Panma.

But when I went, I learned from the son of Daddy Panma that the old man had entered the mountain last night.

"I guess I'll be back before noon today, why don't you wait a few bosses?" The old man's son was a little embarrassed.

He didn't know why his father had promised to be good before, and suddenly he would go up the mountain at night without saying hello, he had been like this since two years ago, he was really confused.

The three old shotguns hanging on the wall of the main house were all there, and it was obvious that Father Panma was not going into the mountains at this time to hunt.

Wu Xiaoxie suppressed the doubts in his heart, glanced at Zhang Qixun and the others, and then smiled and said to the old man's son that it was not in the way, they just waited.

As soon as the three of them entered and sat down, before they had time to drink tea, they saw a person break in the courtyard, and shouted in front of them, "Is Daddy Panma here?"

The person who came was a middle-aged man with a short stature, speaking in a Beijing accent, and the tone of his voice with the son of Panma's father was a little arrogant, and it was harsh to listen to.

Wu Xiaoxie asked Ah Gui in a low voice who this person was, seeing that the old man's son seemed to be very familiar with the other party.

Ah Gui whispered, "This is the distant nephew of Daddy Panma, I heard that it is a big money."

The big man talked to the old man's son as he walked into the house, and when he turned his head, he saw the three living people in the house, "Yo, there are guests?"

"Ah yes, I'm here to find my dad too, and these three are all from the government......

The big nephew didn't show the slightest interest in who they were, and as soon as he squeezed his ass into the chair, he chattered.

Wu Xiaoxie and the others listened quietly for a long time, and heard that this guy wanted to buy something from Daddy Panma, but Daddy Panma refused to sell it.

"Brother, your father is confused, you can't let his temperament come to him, that big customer was finally invited by me, that thing is a dead object no matter how you say it, if you don't bring it to life and don't take it with you, why bother to keep it strong, and you can't bring it to the coffin."

The big guy took out the clamshell lighter from his pocket and clicked it

A cigarette, "While my boss is interested in that thing now, you can sell it for a good price, and then use this money to send your son to other people's expensive schools, so that it will be useful in the future."

The old man's son looked embarrassed, and said with a bitter face: "It's not that I don't want to, it's my old man's thief, seeing that he is so demonic, once I was so angry and said that I would throw that thing into the mountain, so as not to worry about it again, who expected that he would go up the mountain that night and hide that thing, I quietly followed him several times, and let him get rid of it."

Daqian was also impatient to listen to this, got up and was about to leave, "You have guests here, I won't stay longer, in short, you have a little heart, the matter is done, I will take you and your eldest nephew to the scenery of Beijing, go, see you back."

After saying that, he didn't look back, and left in a hurry.

The old man's son turned around and smiled awkwardly at a few people, "Let a few of you laugh."

Zhang Qixun didn't say anything, after all, outsiders don't praise people's housework.

While they were sitting and waiting, the old man's son told them a lot about the great achievements of the old man.

Until noon, he still didn't see Daddy Panma come back.

His son was also a little anxious, and told Zhang Ji to find a few people, he went to look for it, took a shotgun hanging on the wall and went out.

Zhang Qixun had to wait at his house, but it was not until it was dark in the afternoon that the father and son did not come back.

Ah Gui's face was a little unbearable, after all, Panma's father was introduced by him, and it was really unreasonable to put the guests in the empty room and wait, so he scolded a few words about the two of them, and said to Zhang Qi, "Or the three bosses, let's go back first, catch Ming'er, and let this kid from the Panma family come to you."

Zhang Qixun estimated in his heart that the time was almost up, and got up and beckoned Wu Xiaoxie and the two to go out.
