Sure enough, I found a clue now. Just as the wooden paddle of Pang Dahai entered the water, I found several water lines appeared from the aquatic plants under the water. Those water lines shot out, and the target was the wooden oar of Pang Dahai paddle.
Soon, several large groups of dark things gathered on the wooden paddle of the huge sea.
At this time, Pang Dahai started to paddle again, which was very exhausting.
Obviously, that's where the problem lies.It's just that when I wanted to carefully identify those lumps, I found that although the water quality was very clear, it was difficult to see those dark things clearly through the water surface.No way, I asked Pang Haihai to lift up the wooden oar, and when the fat man lifted the wooden oar, the things scattered in a rush, and in an instant, several water lines plunged into the aquatic plants below.
The fat man threw the wooden oar on the boat, and sure enough, another part of the wooden oar was missing.It seems that these things eat the wooden oars very quickly.
Even if we discovered this, our situation would not be improved in the slightest.
Because we can't get off the boat, and we can't row the boat.The small boat was spinning around here, and we were anxious like ants on a hot pot, but there was nothing we could do.If they wait until their people find us, it is estimated that trouble will be inevitable.
But at this moment, a ray of light suddenly came through from inside the cave.
The light flickered, as if it was constantly shaking.
Only when I saw the light did I realize that Pang Dahai and I had been using flashlights for lighting.But the two of us came out in a hurry, and we didn't even take the flashlight in the bag.So the flashlight we use is also something on this ship.
It seems that there are two flashlights prepared in this boat.
The light in the depths of the cave was getting closer and closer, and I hurriedly extinguished the two flashlights on our boat.Now the light was seen more clearly.
The light faltered, flickered on and off.When I got closer, I realized that there was a boat coming in front of me.The light was an oil lamp hanging on the bow.
The speed of the boat was not slow, and it came to us very quickly.
I was flustered in my heart, thinking that Xu Dongyang and Xu Meilu must have discovered us and turned to catch us by boat.
Because besides them, I can't think of anyone else I'll run into here.
The boat steered very skillfully, first circled our boat twice, and then stopped.
There was a man standing on that boat, we couldn't see his face clearly because the light was not very bright.But there was only one person, and it shouldn't be Xu Dongyang and Xu Meilu.
Pang Dahai and I were unarmed, and because the origin of the other party was unknown, we had to hold the oars in our hands.
The man did not rush, and reached out to pick up the oil lamp at the bow. At this time, the light was shining on his face, and we both could see it clearly.
It was an incomparably vicious face, with beards and scars, and against the light, it looked very frightening.
We have all seen this face before, it is the strong man who took us into the mountain in a carriage that day.
At that time, he warned us not to leave the carriage, but then we encountered too many strange things, and the girl Yumo appeared again, so we jumped out of the carriage and escaped unharmed.Otherwise, he would have died at the bottom of the cliff with the carriage.
Thinking about it afterwards, this person must have meant to kill us by letting us stay in the car.
"It's you? You're here to harm us again." Seeing this man, the fat man picked up his paddle and was ready to go forward.
But he tried twice, but the wooden oar couldn't reach the boat, so he gave up angrily.
But the man sneered: "Two boys who don't know how to live or die, they are about to die, and they don't know who is good and who is bad."
This sentence confused us, Pang Dahai pointed at the man: "Please explain clearly, what do you mean by this?"
The man snorted coldly and said, "I don't have time to explain to you. You two are stupefied and robbed someone else's boat, and they will find it soon. Now there is a way to save you, you love letter Do not believe."
As he said that, the man stretched his back and picked up something from the boat with one hand, and threw it onto our boat.Before we could see clearly, another thing was thrown over.
The small boat was not big, and when these two things were thrown up, Pang Haihai and I almost fell into the water in order to avoid it.
At this time, the strong man came to our boat and shouted: "Get on board."
Pang Dahai and I still have some hesitation, after all, the identity of this person is unknown, and there are previous cases of harming others.
Seeing our hesitation, the man cursed again, waved the bamboo wormwood in his hand, and slapped us both on the back.
We couldn't stand, we lunged forward, and we had to jump into his boat.
It turned out that he used bamboo wormwood to punt the boat.
"You...I'll kill you." Pang Dahai jumped onto the boat, a little anxious, ready to fight that man.
The man had a cold face and said in a deep voice: "Do you believe it or not? I threw you into the water to feed the insects."
The man's voice was not loud, but his tone was cold and intimidating.It also frightened Pang Haihai, he clenched his fists and dared not go forward.
I looked back and saw that there were actually two people in the boat that was thrown by that man.The two people's bodies were limp, their faces were pale, and they turned their backs to the sky.
"Are they... dead?" I asked, pointing to those two people.
The man bamboo wormwood touched the surface of the water, and the boat turned half a circle smartly, heading towards the water curtain when we came.
"Your boat belongs to them. If I hadn't dealt with them, you would have been exposed by now. Originally, if you stayed in the carriage, these follow-up things would not have happened. But you... well, count Well, it’s useless to say these things. I’ll send you back to Shoushantun now. Just pretend nothing happened, and don’t reveal that you have been to the Blood Spring.”
Chapter 316 Good Guy or Bad Guy
"Blood Fountain? Is this the Blood Fountain?"
After hearing what this man said, I realized that Pang Dahai and I ran into this fountain of blood by mistake.In other words, the blood spring eggs that Xu Changhe gave us were boiled with the water here.
Reminiscent of this unknown creature that can chew on wooden oars underwater, although I can't see it clearly, it must be related to that kind of gnat.
I haven't figured out the identity of the man who punted the boat yet, but from what he said, he seems to know that Shoushantun very well.
At this time, holding the bamboo wormwood in his hand, he propped the boat very fast.
I couldn't help asking: "Brother, you just meant that you didn't want to harm us, but the carriage obviously fell off the cliff after we got off?"
The man glanced at me: "Nonsense, if you don't get out of the car, the car won't fall off the cliff. But you listened to that dead girl, and I lost a good horse. Maybe this is destiny Well, I hope you can survive this catastrophe. Remember my words, when you go back, you can act as if nothing happened. Also, if you have a chance, you can go to the village to find a person named Wangpo. Maybe there , you can get the answers you want."
"Wang Po?" When I heard this title, the first thing I thought of was the Wang Po who matched Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing in "Water Margin".So I haven't seen this person yet, but I have a bad impression.
"Then how can I find Mrs. Wang?" Although the first impression was not good, but this man brought it up, I still asked.
The man shook his head: "I've been away from the village for too long, and I don't know where this wangpo lives now. But this wangpo likes to drink, if you can find her and give her this, she should be able to help you .”
As he said that, the man bent down, opened a small door in the cabin, and took out a wine jar from inside. The mouth of the wine jar was sealed with mud, and it looked like a jar of aged wine.
The fat man took the wine jar and asked again: "Brother, are you from this village too? Then can you take us back?"
Talking with this guy, it seems that he is not as vicious as he looks, and on the contrary, he is always thinking about us.So Pang Dahai and I are probably wondering whether we have wrongly blamed him.The hostility towards him has also been greatly reduced.
At this time, the boat driven by the man suddenly passed through a curtain of water.It turned out that before we knew it, he had taken us back the same way.
Passing through the water curtain, the man looked up at the sky and sighed, "I used to be a guard in the mountain village, but even if I die, I don't want to go back to that place again."
"Brother, what's your name?" Pang Dahai asked.
The man shook his head: "My name is insignificant, and you don't need to know my name. If you know it, it will bring you trouble. Just trust that I won't harm you."
While talking, the boat has already sailed back to the original channel, but this time we are going upstream.However, Hanzi's punting skills are very good. Although he is sailing against the current, his speed is not slow.Soon he pushed the boat to the shore, pointed to the river bank and said, "Hurry up and go back to your residence with your wine in your hands. No matter who asks, don't mention the Blood Spring."
After the man finished speaking, before we could reply, he tapped the bamboo wormwood on the bank a few times, and the boat left the river bank with a swipe, turned around, and headed downstream.
Pang Dahai and I looked at each other in blank dismay. The appearance of this man changed my perception of the people here once again.The villain we thought of as a villain suddenly turned into our savior.According to what he said, if he hadn't got rid of the two people on the boat, we would have been discovered, and we would have died.
Here, it seems that it is difficult to define a person, it is difficult to say whether he is a good person or a bad person.
Pang Dahai hugged the wine jar, and the two of us hurried back along the way we came.
When we entered the village, we found that there were many villagers gathered in the village.They are all the same as what we saw before, one by one, they have changed from the sluggishness of the day and become much more active.They walked freely, and everyone's face was full of spirits.
What is certain is that the villagers in this village all have the same attribute, even if they are old in the daytime, the whole village is like a village in the twilight.Once the moon rises, the villagers here seem to be reborn, and the whole village is much younger.
This is a huge mystery, which makes Pang Dahai and I very puzzled.But we didn't dare to try to solve the mystery, so we could only avoid the villagers as much as possible, and finally got back to the back wall of our residence.
We came out of that wall at the time.
Fortunately, at this time, the street facing the back wall was already empty.
We did the same, Pang Dahai squatted on the ground, I just stepped on his shoulder.A cough was heard behind him.
I shuddered, and hurriedly looked back.
It turned out that there was an extra person behind him at some point.The man held a lantern in his hand and looked at me with a smile.
The person who came was wearing a red robe, and it turned out to be that old dog Xu.
The impression he gave me was the conversation with Xu Meilu at the dinner table.Other than that, he had no positive verbal communication with me, let alone any conflicts.
I didn't expect us to sneak back and be discovered by him.
I was a little dumbfounded, watching him speechless.
Old Dog Xu stared at me and Pang Dahai, and asked coldly, "You... went out?"
I was unprepared for this, so I could only reply: "Ah, the two of us are bored in the house, so we came out to relax."
I regretted this funnel-filled answer.This is obviously a lie, does Sanxin walk through the wall?It is better not to speak.
Unexpectedly, Old Dog Xu didn't ask further, but just waved his hands: "It's best not to come out at night, go back quickly, the patrol team will be here soon."
Saying that, Old Dog Xu held the lantern, turned his back and walked away step by step.
The two of us didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly used our hands and feet, and each climbed in from the wall.The altar of wine was also transported in by us.
When we returned to the front room, a hanging heart fell to the ground slightly.
Pang Dahai scratched his head and said, "Boss, the people here are so weird. That old dog Xu didn't make things difficult for us when he saw us. The two of us climbed over the wall and went out, it's obviously weird."
I nodded: "When the five of them gathered together, they showed an attitude. But after they dispersed, they seemed to be trying to curry favor with me. They must want something from me."
"What can you have on you?"
"This." As I said that, I took out the five black stones on my body.
Chapter 317 Symbols on the stubble
Five yuan, no... It should be said to be five and a half black stones, placed on the table.
Pang Dahai fiddled with the five and a half stones, smelled them, pinched them, and shook his head: "Boss, no matter how you look at it, there is nothing special about it. You mean, they want yours. Five stones?"
I nodded: "Didn't you see that on the first day, Xu Changhe was about to remove the stone on my body and align it with his own. It means that it was originally one piece, but it was divided into two halves for some reason. I Grandpa took half a stone, and Xu Changhe kept half a stone. If I guessed correctly, each of the remaining four people should have half a stone on their body, which corresponded one-to-one with the ones in my hand. These It is possible that the stones are a kind of keepsake, such as representing my identity. There is also a possibility that after these stones are put together, there are other greater uses. You remember, when we came, they shouted "Freedom, Freedom" Is it something like that? Does that mean that these seemingly inconspicuous little stones have something to do with this?"
Fat Dahai scratched his head: "Boss, what you said is very reasonable. But what I don't understand is, since they want to get the stone so much, why don't they stop us and find it from you, wouldn't it be easier? Although they all They are elderly people, but you can see that they are all alive and well at night, if they go up together, the two of us may not be able to deal with it."
I shook my head: "I don't want to understand this, but there are several possibilities. One is that they are afraid of throwing rats, and maybe even if they get these stones, there is still a step missing. Do you still remember the Xu Dongyang we overheard?" The conversation with Xu Meilu? That’s what they mean. Another possibility is that they don’t know that these five stones are on me, lest they hurt me, and I won’t get those stones. So before I figure it out , they won’t do it. Now the hearts of the five people are not on the same page. Almost everyone wants to meet with me in private and get what they want. But they are afraid of being discovered by others, so every time they meet, they are secretive , not daring to stay too long. So they restrain each other, leading to the current situation."
I analyzed so much in one breath, Pang Dahai nodded frequently: "No matter what the possibility is, we are safe for the time being. But what happened to the egg? They seem to want us to eat the egg. If we really eat it , now I’m afraid it’s already over.”
I glanced at the basin on the table. The gnat might have dived underneath, and the blood-red water was calm.
I thought for a while and said: "Eating that Xuequan egg may be the only way for them to reach a consensus. It's just a pity that some of them are still distracted. Xu Dongyang reminded me of this. But I don't understand that Yumo is How did you know these things. And according to that bearded man, Yumo deliberately led us off the carriage, and didn't mean to save us. So now the relationship between these people is too messy, and it's hard to tell whether it's an enemy or a friend. I don't know whether a good person is a bad person, it seems that with my ability, I can't tell..."
Fat Dahai waved his hand carelessly: "Okay boss, let's just stay the same and adapt to all changes. If there is a chance, just find that Wang Po and ask if it's okay. Tomorrow we have to find out where that Wang Po is. Tonight I will stick to it." I can't stop, I have to go to sleep."
With that said, Pang Dahai yawned and turned around to go back to his room.
I glanced at the time, and before I knew it, it was midnight again.I listened carefully to the movement outside. It seemed that at this time, the people outside had quieted down a lot. I straightened the stones on the table and observed them carefully under the lamp.
At this time, I suddenly found a clue on the broken stubble of the stone.
The stone was not big, but a symbol appeared on the stubble.I swear, I have observed these stones for a long time, but I have never found such symbols.Why did the symbols appear after placing it on the table for a while?
I took the stone in my hand, and strangely, the symbol magically disappeared again.
Going back and forth several times, it's the same. When you put it on the table, the symbol will appear, and when you hold it in your hand, the symbol will disappear.
"Could it be the problem with this table?" I muttered, touching the table with my hand.
Sure enough, the temperature on the tabletop was extremely low, even a little cold.It seems that the symbols on this stone can only appear when the temperature is low.But why is the temperature of this table so low?
I touched the pot with the gnats again, and sure enough, I found that the temperature in that pot was even lower.
It seems that the temperature of the water in the basin is low, and the temperature is transmitted to the table.This caused the symbols on these stones to appear.
I lined up the stones, and the symbols appeared one by one.
I looked at it for a long time but didn't understand it. Those symbols are all different. They should be a kind of characters, or a code name, and they are a bit like the Taoist symbols drawn by the third uncle and the others.
In short, these symbols are no different from heavenly scriptures to me.
It turned out that I was holding these five stones, but since they were similar in size and shape, I couldn't tell them apart.But now it seems that they can be distinguished through the above symbols.
I was holding five stones, and suddenly thought of a problem. I felt that it was not safe to put all five stones on me.They haven't attacked us yet, if at some point, the people guarding the mountain village lose their patience in order to get these stones, it is uncertain whether they will kill us or not.
With an idea, I ran to the yard with five stones in my hand, dug a hole with gravel at the corner of the wall, and buried the two stones in my hand.
Although I haven't figured out the specific use of these stones, maybe the two buried stones are my last straw.
After all this was arranged, I went back to my room to sleep in peace.
I was already sleepy and tired. After I arrived at Shoushantun, my mind was not idle for a moment. At this time, due to excessive brain use, my brain seemed to explode.
