Chapter 26: False Long Fingers
How big is this lake?
Logombu could not tell, and almost everything as far as the eye could see was covered by the surface of the lake, and the shallows around the lake shore were covered with snow and ice.
The ice has spread to more than 200 meters above the surface of the lake, and only some of the water in the center of the lake has not yet frozen, showing a sparkling pale blue, as if a shrunken sky is contained in it.
The lake did not have a little ripple in the sun, and the afterglow of the setting sun was projected on it, as if a pale golden veil had been spread on the green surface of the lake.
It took a long time for Logombu's attention to come back to his senses from the incomparably beautiful scene in front of him.
On the ice of the lake, the Tibetans carrying the glowing green things walked all the way, and in the direction they walked, they saw a very dilapidated small wooden boat parked at the edge of the lake.
They were in a cave carved out of a cliff and down the ice slope leading to the shallows of the great lake.
The two of them sat on the package and carefully slid down, the ice was not smooth, the friction was very strong, and the weight of the two people pressed on it, they were forced to stop after sliding not far and hide behind a raised stone to hide their figures.
Logompo looked ahead and saw that the Tibetans were already on the boat, and the boat was about to row away.
Luo Gongbu didn't know why, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the little brother: "Boss, they have a boat, we can't get through." â
The little brother did not make a sound, but looked at the other side of the lake, and quickly withdrew his gaze, only to find that the people did not leave after getting into the wooden boat, but left a person by the side of the boat, the leader in the blue Tibetan robe.
The mask on the man's face glowed with a bleak white cold light, and he was looking up at the direction where the two little brothers were hiding.
Logombu's heart tightened, and they were discovered.
Sure enough, the next moment he saw the Tibetan who had remained outside the boat and began to wave in this direction, looking at the movements and demeanor, as if he wanted them to pass.
Luo Gongbu didn't know what to do, so he looked at the little brother and asked what to do.
The little brother thought for a while, and didn't move at first, but the blue-robed Tibetan seemed to be a little anxious, and the amplitude of the beckoning became larger.
The little brother moved his body slightly, and seemed to be a little out of breath.
Logombu's heart was raised, and he had actually been very entangled in his heart before, because this was the most likely one he had encountered in all these years, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and the ten-year period was almost at the end.
But the little brother did not go out in the end, he waited patiently until the blue-robed Tibetan waited for at least twenty minutes, finally gave up, shook his head and got on the boat.
The oars swayed slowly, pushing the surface of the water, waving golden water lines, and the boat slowly rowed towards the center of the lake.
It was the area where the reflection of the sun was most intense, and the boat gradually drifted into the golden light, never to be seen again.
After another half a cup of tea, Luo Gongbu wondered why the little brother didn't move when those people were gone, so he couldn't help but come over and ask.
"Boss, why didn't you go out just now, those people had already discovered us, and they seemed to be calling us over."
The little brother shook his head and said indifferently: "He's not waving to us." â
Logombu was surprised, "So what was he doing just now?" â
"There was something else that followed them, but we didn't notice it at all." Little Brother said.
Logombu suddenly became nervous and looked around suspiciously, "How do you know?" There's no one else around here except us. â
"It doesn't have to be people." The little brother said indifferently, Luo Gongbu just wanted to ask, but he met the little brother's cold eyes, and the words on his lips were swallowed back instantly.
The little brother's expression was extremely calm, and he was a little impersonal when he was calm, and he said, "You don't need to know. â
Logombu choked, but he didn't dare to refute anything, he had already realized from the previous chase that this young owner was not an ordinary person, at least ordinary people would not have the same speed in the snow as he did.
He glanced cautiously at the little brother, followed the other man's line of sight to the side of the lake, and found that there was a huge black stone-like thing, skinny, and all sides of the stone were covered with snow, and he couldn't tell what it was.
But to Logombu's shuddering, the snow covering the surface of what seemed to be a stone was gone, as if it had been rubbed by something.
Logomboo's eyes widened, could that thing be behind a stone?
He couldn't help but look at the little brother again, he had unconsciously put himself in the position of obedience, because the little brother was too calm and composed, as if there was nothing he couldn't solve.
"Under the snow, that thing has been moving under the snow into the ice, otherwise I would have found it a long time ago." After the little brother finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the stone with the package.
The stone was not too far from their position, and Logombu quickly got up, patted off the snow slag on his buttocks, and took a few steps forward to the ice by the lake, just about to catch up with the little brother, but suddenly felt that something was not right.
He subconsciously turned around, and a huge black shadow in front of him instantly pressed down on him, a huge mouth, and he felt a burst of warmth and slipperyness, as if there was a large and thick pocket that filled him whole, and the salty smell that came to his nose wrapped him all over.
A second before he lost consciousness, he saw that the little brother was running in his direction at a very fast speed, and the long stick wrapped in black cloth that the little brother had been carrying behind him also showed his true face for the first time.
It turned out to be a knife.
īšīšīš
At the end of the first volume, Zhang Qixun's consciousness returned, and he moved his neck, which was a little sore due to the long time at the desk.
When I looked out the window, I realized that it was almost dark outside, and Naruhito hadn't come back yet, but the lantern under the eaves of the corridor outside the window was already lit.
Estimating that Naruhito was about to come back, Zhang Qixun sorted out the scrolls and put them back in the carved wooden box, went out with the box, and saw a familiar little lama passing by with a lamp, so he told the other party that he planned to spend the night.
The little lama glanced at Naruhito's room, replaced the lamp in his hand with the other hand, and led the way in front, "The master has arranged a room for your guests in advance, so come with me here." â
Zhang Qixun wondered if it was because it was too dark and the lights were shining, and the little lama's figure seemed to be much stronger than in the daytime.
He followed the other and walked down the hallway several floors from the other side, turning a few more corners.
I didn't meet any other lamas along the way, Zhang Qixun stared at the little lama's ear a few times, and when the light and shadow flickered, there were a few fine lines there.
happened to arrive at the corner of the corridor, Zhang Qixun's footsteps paused slightly, and the other party staggered two positions, his eyes fixed on the other party's right hand holding the lamp, his two fingers were obviously a little longer than ordinary people.
Zhang Qixun smiled in his heart, it came so quickly.
However, the other party deliberately sent such a snake startling stick, what did he mean to convey to himself?
Zhang Qixun looked at his left hand, after coming to Motuo, he did not hide the obvious feature of long fingers, so the other party sent a small character to test himself first?
The little lama in front noticed that Zhang Qixun had stopped, and then turned back sideways and said, "Distinguished guest, your room is still in front, please follow me." â
"It's so remote here, I like lively places." After Zhang Qi finished speaking, he turned his head and walked back.
The little lama was stunned for a moment in place, and when he saw Zhang Qizhen turn his head and leave, he hurriedly wanted to stop him, and grabbed his shoulder when he went up.
Zhang Qi didn't look back, he avoided it sideways, leaned on his waist with one hand holding the box, held his arm with his backhand, twisted his hand hard, and directly twisted his entire arm around and skimmed it out.
The little lama screamed in pain, realized that he had been exposed, and immediately smashed the lamp in his right hand towards Zhang Qixun's face.
Zhang Qixun let go, took half a step back, raised his leg and kicked the fallen lantern in half, wax water splashed, he retracted a little strength, and was kicking the little lama's chest, kicking the little lama out and smashing it on the pillar.
With a bang, the snow on the eaves tiled porch was shaken up, and the snow slag fell down.
The lanterns on the eaves danced wildly in the night with the vibration, and a cold light cut through the snow and went straight to Zhang Qixun's door.
Zhang Qixun's eyebrows moved slightly, he was a little surprised that the other party could still stand up, and he began to get serious.
The hunting knife that has been hanging on the back of the waist is unsheathed and holds the opponent's short knife.
At the moment when the blades collided, the little lama felt a great force coming from the junction of the two knives, his arm was violently shaken, the whole arm was numb, the tiger's mouth immediately swelled and ached, and the short knife in his hand was almost unable to hold it.
Zhang Qixun's second knife followed, and there was no room for him to breathe.
The little lama hurriedly resisted the knife, and there was already blood flowing out of the cracked mouth of the tiger's mouth, and the short knife flew out of his hand, and he had no time to pick it up, so he could only retreat in embarrassment.
Zhang Qixun's third knife turned his wrist and smashed the back of the knife on his big arm.
There was a crisp click, and an abnormal bend protruded from the edge of the humerus of the little lama's left arm, and the whole arm could no longer be lifted.
There was a sound of soft footsteps at one end of the hallway, and Naruhito walked out of the darkness with a lamp, looking quietly at this side with a calm face.
Zhang Qixun glanced over there, kicked the little lama on the knee and kicked him unsteadily and fell, and then spun half a circle and kicked the little lama in the abdomen, and the little lama rolled out a few laps and stopped right under Naruhito's feet.
Naruhito silently lowered his eyes, looking at the little lama curled up in pain under his feet with a frightened face, and seemed to sigh.
Zhang Qixun casually pulled a knife in his hand, inserted the knife back into the wooden sheath, and raised his chin to Deren, "What about the people in your temple?" You okay. â
Naruto bowed slightly, "I have found it, I have been freezing in the firewood room for a long time, and I have a fever, so I fed the medicinal soup and slept peacefully." â
Zhang Qixun put the empty wooden box aside, and when he felt something was wrong before, he had already moved all the books in the box into the space.
I just don't know if this person is pretending to be a little lama for something recorded by Naruhito in the past, or for himself.
He half-crouched down, reached out and touched the little lama's ear, the strange touch of his fingertips once again confirmed the conjecture in his heart, and he took off the thin mask and carefully looked at the unfortunate decay in front of him.
Naruhito leaned in close to the lamp and went to see the man.
Zhang Qixun looked at this strange foreigner's face, not surprised at all, he said coldly to the foreigner in German: "Your fingers look really fake, ugly to death, the Zhang family's camouflage skills are not as bad as yours." â
The German almost vomited a mouthful of old blood, and seeing that Zhang Qixun's face was not good, as if he wanted to pinch his fingers, he immediately admitted honestly, "The fake face was given to me by my boss, in order to have a reasonable identity to spy on you here, I am just a lowest-level subordinate, and I know a little bit." â
Zhang Qixun retracted his gaze regretfully, "Who is your boss?" â
"My name is Ruud Adenauer, and I'm from Quiet Company." The Germans replied very cooperatively.
Quiet company?
Zhang Qixun asked again, "When did you get to Motuo?" â
"We've always had a stronghold here to keep an eye on people with long fingers, who appear every once in a while, and the whereabouts of the other long fingers are so mysterious that even the best agents in our company often chase them down." Ruud was honest.
Zhang Qixun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "So you're eyeing me?" â
Ruud nodded, "It's just that your behavior is unique, and our leader thinks you might be closer." â
Zhang Qixun was speechless for a long time, what gave the other party such an illusion, and said that Wu Xie's face was also really evil.
"Your Quiet Company has taken over Jude Cow's last wishes?" He asked, "I remember that old guy seems to have died a few months ago." â
Ruud nodded, "After Jude Cou's death, the company was in turmoil, and our leader bought this project of Jude Co., Ltd. â
"Your leader?" Zhang Qixun wondered, "Who is your leader?" â
"I don't know." Ruud himself was confused, "Our group of agents stationed in Motuo have never seen the appearance of the leader, but they only carry out the tasks listed above, and receive a basic salary when there are no tasks, so we never dwell on this. â
"But it seems that there will be some big moves from above recently, two bosses have come from the German headquarters, and they are carrying a large number of weapons and people." Ruud silently added.
Zhang Qixun looked at him suspiciously, "Why are you so honest and say everything, I suspect that what you just said is a lie to me." â
Ruud almost rolled his eyes, in order to save his life, he told everything he knew, and even doubted him, how could this person's temperament be so different from his appearance.
He had no choice but to explain: "I'm just a small subordinate, and in the absence of clear instructions, saving my life comes first." â
"What else do you know, if you don't want to be paralyzed in the hospital bed in the future, it's better to die than to die, just say it all at once." Zhang Qixun said faintly threatening.
Ruud thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought that some time before he went up the mountain, there seemed to be some changes in the stronghold.
The two new bosses seem to have caught someone, and they look very important.
