"Sister Ape, I still wonder if you can accompany me to the waterfall again, and let's go to the stone room where your master's bones are kept, I don't mean to disturb his rest, but I want to see if I can find something that can prove his identity, and I need to feel at ease when I find out." ”

The gray ape understood, and she pointed to the northeast with her hand, and then looked at Yiyun.

Yiyun nodded excitedly.

When he came to the edge of the cliff, the gray ape wanted to put a long rope down as usual, but Yiyun stopped him.

Yiyun thought about it for a while, and now that the identity of the bandit leader is unknown, Yiyun is always a little uneasy. So he took the gray ape down the cliff in a different place, without using a rope.

Because now that Yiyun's injuries have recovered most of his injuries, there is no problem going down the cliff, but he has to use a long rope when he goes up the cliff.

Along the way, Yiyun was very careful and checked from time to time to avoid being followed.

When they reached the top of the waterfall, they were still driven by the gray ape into the curtain of water, and Yiyun jumped down after him.

Re-entering the stone room, Yoshiyun apologized to the skeleton on the couch as a sign of respect for the deceased.

Because he had spent the night in the stone chamber, he was not a stranger, so Yiyun was inside, searching around with the glimmer of light, hoping to find some useful clues.

And Yiyun also explained to the gray ape, asking her to help find it, but she has items that her previous owner used to store in the stone room, and he stressed again that he didn't want the things of his predecessors, but just wanted to find out his identity.

In the stone chamber, Yiyun inspected and touched inch by inch, the ground, the walls, and the zenith. Finally, he stuck his head out of the window and looked around.

But nothing came of it. The stone excavation technique is very good, and it is located in the interior of the whole rock. So Yiyun didn't find artificial seams or natural cracks in the walls. Completely, there are no stone niches or other facilities where it is possible to hide objects.

Although he had been mentally prepared before, Yiyun was inevitably disappointed.

"Well, I've come to check it out, and the seniors shouldn't have anything to do with the treasure, so I'm sorry!" Yiyun said to the bones.

Then he beckoned to the gray ape: "Sister Ape." Let's go. ”

But look at the gray ape, there are tears flashing in his eyes, and he looks reluctant.

Yiyun sighed.

So he stood aside and waited, waiting for the gray ape to say goodbye to his master.

The gray ape glanced back at Yiyun again, hesitated, and suddenly beckoned to Yiyun.

Yiyun's heart moved, and he hurriedly walked to the couch.

The gray ape pointed with his hand to the bed.

Yiyun hurriedly squatted down, just now out of respect for the deceased, he didn't check this couch;

After a closer look, this couch is actually just a whole square stone, placed next to the stone wall.

The place where the gray ape refers is the place where the ashlar touches the ground, and there is a small gap. It's just a finger's width.

Yiyun stretched out his left index finger and probed into the stone crevice, but his finger was a little thick, and he only entered a short section, and there was nothing.

"Sister Ape, there's nothing, your fingers can't reach your head. ”

Yiyun explained to the gray ape.

The gray ape nodded, then pushed Yiyun to let him move away, and he stretched out his finger to go in.

After a while, a small piece of something was carefully pulled out.

Yiyun's eyes lit up!--it was the Xuantie that Huang Gui showed him!

What a bright future!

Next. The gray ape pulled out another piece, and then another, and then a small roll of paper.

Yiyun's heart was pounding, and he carefully opened the scroll of paper, which was yellowed in color. It's been some years!

Looking at it again, there is only one word on it: "three".

What does this mean? Is it to tell the people that there are three pieces of black iron, or does it mean something else?

The grey ape no longer pulls things out of the cracks in the stone.

"That's all there is to it. Sister Ape?"

The gray ape nodded, signaling that there was nothing more.

Oh well. Yiyun thought to himself. The more I messed around, the more I didn't understand. So he carefully restored the scroll of paper to its original state, and asked the gray ape to put it back in its original state.

The gray ape took the paper roll and stuffed it back, but waved his hand again, and put the three pieces of dark iron into Yiyun's hand, signaling that he could take it.

Yiyun thought about it, and he said to the bones and the gray ape: "I don't know if this dark iron has anything to do with the treasure, so borrow it for the time being, and I will definitely send it back to the place in the future!"

After saying that, he and the gray ape went out of the stone room, climbed up from under the waterfall, and went back to the village.

The result of exploring the water curtain cave at night not only failed to solve the puzzle, but the development of the incident became even more confusing.

The next day, just after noon, it was hot and dry. In early summer, there was a long drought, and although Huangcun was close to the mountains and rivers, and the water source was abundant, so as not to affect the daily livelihood, the rain that should have been in the sky could not fall, just like a human mood.

At this moment, Yiyun is a little annoyed.

Then, as he wandered around the village, Yiyun was suddenly attracted by a clanging sound, and Xie was striking iron again.

Xie Datie, that is, the Uncle Xie who sprouts and is often talked about by Born Dou, is the only owner of an iron shop in the village.

In fact, the sound of tinkling iron has been ringing every day, and for many years, the whole Huangcun people have been completely accustomed to this rhythmic noise, and it has been completely integrated into the life of the Huangcun people and has become a habitual existence.

However, because of the words he heard in his mouth before, Yiyun was particularly sensitive to the sound of striking iron today, and this should be the first time he consciously noticed the existence of Xie Taptie.

Yiyun paused and listened for a moment, the jingle was unhurried, feeling very powerful, patient and persistent.

Or it should be said that Uncle Xie has been in charge of this business for a long time, so naturally, the sound of Tong guò hitting the anvil can be heard, a kind of professional taste of the preservation zài.

After savoring it for a long time, Yiyun suddenly walked briskly towards the source of the sound, entered the beating shed, and watched and listened intently, the person in front of him seemed to have no notice of his arrival at all, and continued to beat his iron.

It was quite hot in the iron shed. Then there is the need to strike iron with constant force and endure the dull and monotonous jingle sound. So it's not easy to persist in such an environment for a long time.

Yiyun still remembered that Bud Dou had said that Uncle Xie was disabled and had some ears behind his ears, and that he was busy, so he didn't say anything.

After observing it, it was so hot that Uncle Xie was already sweating profusely. But he still hadn't taken off his dirty, sweat-soaked coat, and he was still wearing a girdle in front of him. His two arms are full and round, and he has a sense of strength.

At this moment, he is leaning slightly, holding the iron tongs in one hand, swinging the hammer in the other, lifting and striking quickly, and the landing point of the hammer is always accurate and timely. (To be continued......)
