The years of reselling the haunted house

My third uncle and I searched outside, and found clues within a short distance.

The third uncle squatted down, pointed to the marks on the ground and said, "Nephew, do you think these look like footprints?"

I also squatted down, and sure enough, I saw a pattern similar to footprints appeared on the wet ground.But it can only be said to be similar, because the edges of the pattern are already very irregular, and only a sole can be vaguely seen, and there are imprints similar to toes on the sole.

If it is okay to say that this imprint is a footprint, it is also normal to say that it is another imprint.So speaking of it, it is a bit far-fetched to judge it as a footprint.

I shook my head: "Let's search further ahead, if this is a footprint, it's too unclear."

The third uncle nodded, and continued to walk forward.I looked back, and everyone was searching in all directions according to Liang Yue's order. I couldn't see anyone else, and probably no one could see us.

I followed the third uncle and walked a few meters forward, and found that similar footprints appeared on the ground again.But not as clear as the first one.This made us very suspicious, and in the end we couldn't judge whether this thing was a footprint or not.

"Third uncle, don't look for it, go back and meet with everyone first, I don't know if this is a clue, maybe their groups can find something else." I reminded.Because now we have walked more than 200 meters away, and we can no longer see those other people. Sanjin said that the terrain here is complicated. I am afraid that if we go further, we will be in trouble if we lose our way.

The third uncle nodded, and the two of us started to walk back.

It didn't take long for us to come out, and after a short walk back, we returned to the place where we camped.

But the strange thing is, except for my third uncle and I, the others have not returned to the camp.

We didn't pay much attention at the beginning, thinking that they had gone to search for clues and hadn't come back yet.But we waited in place for about ten minutes, but we still didn't see a single person.

And it sounds like there is silence all around, and there is no sound coming.

"No, nephew. Liang Yue said that the search range is within 300 meters. If it is this distance, they should have returned by now. Is something wrong?" The third uncle became alert and looked around.

I'm also a little clueless, but it doesn't feel possible.It takes a lot of time to go in and out here, and they can't go far when they go out, just like my third uncle and I, just go back the same way.Even if you are in danger, you can shout, but we didn't hear any sound.

"Liang Yue, Sea Wolf...Old Jia, Sanjin..." I stood on the spot and called out their names over and over again. After I called them, I only heard a few echoes, and no one responded to me.

"Third Uncle, something really happened." I looked at Third Uncle with a solemn expression.

"Accidents can happen in broad daylight? It's really crazy." The third uncle said, walking to the west of the camp.

I also followed closely. The third uncle and I just searched for the east side.We followed the route they had just searched, and checked in three directions: west, south, and north.

The geography and terrain are similar to ours, and the ground is also very wet, but there is a little difference.It was in these directions that we did not find any traces that seemed to be footprints.

But they left footprints of several of them.

The third uncle pointed to the ground and said: "Nephew, I guess the problem may be caused by the strange footprints. Do you think it is possible? Only one of the four directions can go out safely. Walk back. In the other three directions, you may encounter danger if you go out. As Sanjin said, the situation here is complicated. If you go wrong, you may be in danger if you go out three steps."

I questioned: "Third uncle, you mean that the east side we just walked to, because there are footprints, it means that it is safe. And in these three directions, going forward will encounter danger? I don't think this is necessarily the case, maybe There are that kind of footprints here too, but when they were tracking them, they covered them with their own footprints."

The third uncle shook his head: "How is it possible? We are here to search for clues. How could they not pay attention to the footprints and step on them instead?"

It has been nearly half an hour since Liang Yue ordered the search around.My third uncle and I returned to the same place, but the other six people disappeared at the same time without any reason.

It was obvious that they might be in trouble, which made me feel a little overwhelmed.Even the third uncle, who has always been calm and calm in the face of danger, is a little hairy at this moment.

Because this situation is so strange, and it almost happened under our noses.And these people disappeared without any sign.They didn't hear shouts, nor found any traces of fighting, as if the six people disappeared suddenly.

We had been mentally prepared that we might encounter a lot of troubles and difficulties when we continued to move forward in this devil forest, but we never thought that the troubles would come so quickly.

And it came so unexpectedly.We didn't have any countermeasures before this.

My third uncle and I were waiting at the campsite, a little restless.

Every few minutes, I would look in the direction they left and shout twice.But none of this helped.

The third uncle greeted me: "Nephew, don't bother. If they can come back, you didn't call them back. We only have one way now..."

My eyes lit up when I heard that my third uncle had a solution.But seeing Uncle San's expression didn't seem to have any good solution, I shook my head and said, "Uncle San, your solution is to wait?"

The third uncle nodded: "That's right."

"However, when will we wait? At this time, we will chase after him in time, and maybe we can find clues..."

The third uncle glanced at me: "The eldest nephew, the missing person, Liang Yue, Hailang, and Chuanshanjia, are all first-class masters. You think they can't get away. If we go, can there be a way?"

I shook my head. When it comes to adaptability and skill in hands and feet, my third uncle and I are definitely not as good as those few.

The third uncle looked up at the sky and said, "It's past noon now, let's wait another hour. If there is no movement within an hour, nephew, we have to think about the way forward."

"The back road... what is the back road?" I thought about it, looked around subconsciously, approached the third uncle and asked, "Third uncle, is the fat man the back road you arranged?"

The third uncle nodded: "That's right. But I don't want to use him until it is absolutely necessary. After all, we are also here to find Ma Di, and we will definitely not give up halfway. The most urgent thing is to find those people first. "

Chapter 1408 Encountered an accident

I smiled wryly and said, "Third Uncle, aren't you being too optimistic. We haven't even seen a shadow of this fat man so far. Are you sure he came with us?"

The third uncle asked back: "Did you forget, what did you tell the fat man before you left? We told him that without his news, it is the best news. This is the highest level of tracking. If he really does it, It shows that his tracking is successful. If we find the trace of the fat man, the sea wolves will definitely find it too. Their insight is sharper, and it will be very troublesome to find out. The fat man must not only avoid us, but also avoid them. Just do it."

I thought about it for a while, we did explain to Fatty that way at the time, but I have always doubted the ability of this fat man.We still have doubts about whether he can keep up with us.

The third uncle said again: "From now on, even when it's just the two of us, don't mention Pang Haihai lightly, let's just pretend that there is no such thing for the time being. Otherwise, if you keep thinking about it, your expression may change. It is easy to give away. When necessary, we will find a way to contact him. I have left traces along the way, not to mention that the fat man is still carrying an iron pillar. I believe that if the fat man really follows my instructions, the iron Zhu will definitely track us down based on the traces I left."

I nodded, now I can only choose to trust Fatty and Tie Zhu, I hope these two people will not lose their chains at the critical moment.

My third uncle and I were waiting at the camp, hoping to hear from those people.The third uncle had a big heart, so he simply found a flat stone and lay down, and fell asleep after a while.

I can only stay awake and be alert at the same time.Since they have all had accidents, it must not be very safe here. If we think about it, it is an adventure for us to wait here.

But having said that, since we made up our minds to enter this devil forest, where is it not an adventure?In this devil forest, I am afraid that there is no absolutely safe place.

Soon, the time agreed by the third uncle is coming soon.An hour later, the sky had gradually turned dark.

If the Devil's Forest is fine during the day, then at night, all unpredictable factors will follow.

Like this place under our feet, there was a war between man and toad last night.When it gets dark, there are too many variables, I think, we can't wait here any longer.

I went over to wake my third uncle up, and my third uncle got up and yawned, looked around, and said, "It's getting dark, they haven't moved at all?"

I shook my head helplessly.

The third uncle said: "Then we can't go forward rashly. Before it is dark, let's retreat to the car first, and then go in and find a way to search when it is dawn tomorrow."

I nodded, this is also the safest solution.It is definitely not a good idea to choose to act here in the dark.Although Liang Yue's situation may be very dangerous, the first thing we need to do is to protect ourselves.If my third uncle and I had an accident, the whole army would be wiped out.

My third uncle and I packed up our things and were about to leave here. At this moment, there was a slight movement from the side of the stone forest.

The sound was rustling, as if something was moving.

My third uncle and I were excited at the same time, stopped what we were doing, and listened quietly.

That's right, the sound has been going on, and it's getting closer and closer to us.

My third uncle and I gave each other a wink, and quickly walked back in the direction we came from.

Obviously, that sound might be that the golden thread toads have come back again, and now there are only me and my third uncle. If we are surrounded by golden thread toads again, it would be like praying to stop the traffic if we want to deal with so many golden thread toads.

"Who... who's there?"

As soon as we turned around, someone suddenly shouted from the direction of Shilin.

Not toads, but people.

My third uncle and I stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.

I recognized it. It sounded a bit like a sea wolf.

"Is it a sea wolf?" I asked.

"It's me..." the voice replied.

Back, they're back.I breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly turned back with my third uncle.At this time, two figures turned out from behind the stone forest, and the sea wolf was supporting a person, and they were staggering out from behind.

We hurried over to meet them, and found that it was Qian Qingfeng who was supported by Hailang.

The two people were wet and covered in mud, they were in a mess, and they seemed to have reached the limit of their physical strength.After seeing us, the bodies of the two of them also went limp, panting heavily.

After a lot of effort, my third uncle and I helped the two of them up and went back to the camp.

"Sea wolf, where are the others?" I asked when I realized that it was just the two of them.

Sea Wolf was taken aback, and looked around. When he also found that there were only me and my third uncle here, he asked suspiciously, "Why...the others aren't here?"

I smiled wryly, "We've been waiting here for more than two hours, and we thought you were together."

Sea Wolf shook his head: "Didn't we search in groups at that time? I was in the same group as Lao Qian. I remember Liang Yue was in the same group as Zhong Xiaofeng, and Lao Jia was in the same group as Sanjin. We were not together."

"Then what's the matter with you? Didn't you say that you searched up to 300 meters, why did you come back?" I looked at Hailang and Qian Qingfeng and asked impatiently.

"It would be great if he came back alive." Sea Wolf dejectedly pointed at Qian Qingfeng: "The old man is not in good health, so we need to make a fire and give him something to eat."

I knew that these two people must have encountered an accident, so I looked around: "Is it safe here? It's dark today, should we evacuate to the car."

Qian Qingfeng looked tormented enough, his lips were a little purple, he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. Yesterday was a special situation, and the golden thread toad probably won't come tonight.

"Mr. Qian, are you sure?" Due to Mr. Qian's behavior of second-guessing twice, I also expressed doubts about his statement.

Qian Qingfeng explained: "Yesterday the golden thread toads came to attack us because we took their toads. We didn't do anything today, and they won't attack people for no reason. In addition, they lost their toad king yesterday. In the meantime, it should not be possible to elect a new Toad King. Without Toad King’s order, they would not have such a unified action. This time, I am not an afterthought, don’t worry.”

After listening to Qian Qingfeng's words, we were relieved, and we found some firelighters, and first built a fire here.

Both Hailang and Qian Qingfeng were drenched, cleaned up the mud, took off their clothes and roasted on the fire.

Seeing their distressed appearance, I asked, "Hailang, haven't you been by Liang Yue's side all the time? Why didn't you join her team this time?"

Chapter 1409 My Negligence

The sea wolf glanced at me and said, "The girl arranged it, what can I do? It's not like you didn't see it at the time."

I was taken aback: "I really didn't notice it at the time, I just didn't understand why you didn't follow Liang Yue this time, so I asked."

Sea Wolf smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, if I were with the girl, maybe the girl would not go missing, and she would be able to come back safely at this time."

"Then what happened?" I asked.

Sea Wolf said: "At that time, the girl asked us to go down in groups to search for clues. Of course I wanted to protect her by her side. But the girl didn't know what she was thinking at the time, so she appointed me as a group with Lao Qian and let me take care of Lao Qian. Money, I have to listen to the girl."

I recalled it, and it seems that my third uncle and I were indeed in another location at that time, and we started to act after Liang Yue gave the order to disperse the search.As for how the groups are divided, I actually have no impression.

Qian Qingfeng smiled: "Li Yang, I can see this too. The girl probably wanted to be in the same group with you, or she wanted to be in the same group with Taoist Dongbin. Because she glanced at you at the time, and she didn't know what to do. After finishing talking, the two of you formed a team and started to act. As a last resort, she took Zhong Xiaofeng and searched south."

The third uncle glanced at me, and I understood what he meant. Obviously, Liang Yue is unlikely to want to be in the same group as the third uncle. She probably wants to be in the same group as me, so that we can have a space to talk alone. , Maybe Liang Yue wanted to say something to me.

In fact, I have been looking for such an opportunity, because I have a lot of questions to ask Liang Yue.It's a pity that I didn't understand her intention at all at the time, which caused me to miss a great opportunity.

Afterwards analysis, from the day our team was established, the sea wolf has been guarding Liang Yue except for sleeping in the hotel at night.He must be protecting Liang Yue, and protecting the captain is of course also the duty of a soldier.But the sea wolf was protecting him a little too closely, and it was okay to say that he was monitoring Liang Yue.

Liang Yue couldn't talk to us more, and I think the reason might be because of this sea wolf.

Because apart from the few on our side, Qian Qingfeng joined temporarily because of changes in the old song.Only Hailang and Liang Yue were the candidates designated by the Haikang'an Group.Could it be that Sea Wolf was appointed by the Haikangan Group to protect Liang Yue on the one hand and monitor Liang Yue on the other?

When I realized this, I regretted it even more.It's only because of my negligence at the time that I didn't realize Liang Yue's intentions and missed a possibly best opportunity.

Now that Liang Yue is missing, I am even more worried about her safety.

Seeing Qian Qingfeng warming up next to the fire for a while, eating something, and his expression recovering a lot, the third uncle asked: "Let's not talk about this, first tell us what happened to you? It took a long time to come back? Maybe we can deduce the whereabouts of the other people from what happened to you."

Qian Qingfeng nodded, and said with a wry smile: "We walked around in front of the ghost gate. If it weren't for the sea wolf, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see you."

Hailang was burning over there, uneasy, and suddenly stood up and said, "It's good for Lao Qian to stay and tell you about these things. Now the girl's situation is unknown, and I have to go rescue her."

As he said that, Sea Wolf anxiously arranged the equipment in his hands, took his gun, and his knives and so on.

I glanced at Uncle San, who nodded at me.

I said to Hailang: "Hailang, our team has been dispersed now, the four of us have managed to get together, and we can't disperse anymore. Besides, are you sure you can find Liang Yue?"

Sea Wolf shook his head: "We were grouped in four directions at the beginning, and I feel that the situation in these four directions may be different. I don't know what happened to the girl. I only know that I need to reach her as soon as possible. Protect her."

Qian Qingfeng also said: "Sea Wolf, let me say something. This is not the time to be brave. The captain is gone, and we are all in a hurry. We have to think of a safe way."

The sea wolf stared and roared: "A safe way? When you come up with a safe way, it will be the year of the monkey. We can wait, but the girl may not be able to wait."

"You come to see something with me first." The third uncle said, beckoning to Hailang and Qian Qingfeng.He headed east of the camp.

That was exactly where my third uncle and I were searching. Hailang and Qian Qingfeng didn't know what his third uncle was up to, so they suspiciously followed him down.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and we flashlighted on the strange footprints. The third uncle asked, "Have you ever seen such footprints?"

Unexpectedly, when Qian Qingfeng and Hailang saw the footprints, their expressions changed drastically at the same time.

"This... These footprints, why are they here?" Qian Qingfeng asked in surprise.

I was stunned: "Mr. Qian, so you have seen this footprint? But I also looked in the direction you searched, and there is no such footprint?"

Qian Qingfeng said: "Of course, the place where we saw this footprint is a long distance away from here. We haven't figured out what this footprint represents."

I asked again: "In addition to seeing this footprint, have you seen the person who left it?"
