I sat in the tent for a while to relieve the remaining dizziness in my head. The hallucination caused by the two candles wasted almost three hours. When I walked out of the tent, Chen Yu was already waiting for me, with doubts in her eyes.
, because my behavior was quite abnormal, but I mumbled it and she didn't ask any more questions. Originally, I only planned to buy one day to check Hong Yingying's memory, but Chen Yu said to take this opportunity to take a good rest for two days.
It doesn't matter.
In fact, I didn't care, Chen Yu's decision was exactly what I wanted. But after two days, I seemed to know why she had to wait, because two days later, Lao Zamaowen hurriedly brought two people here.
It is estimated that the discovery on Shiyanchuan was too important, so he could only put aside other matters at hand and come here to suppress the enemy.
I didn't want to talk to him that much, but after hearing Chen Yu's report, Brother Wen kept praising me from the side for not hitting the smiling man. The city is as deep as the Atlantic Ocean, and I could only deal with a few words. After he arrived
, barely taking any rest, he immediately took people to the underground river to see for himself. He didn’t ask me to go, so I was happy to be lazy and stay outside to sleep.
Brother Wen conducted the survey very seriously. Although there was no official action yet, he stayed at the edge of the underground river at night. Chen Yu was responsible for my safety. The two of us chatted until 11 or 12 o'clock in the evening before going to bed. I might sleep
After standing for an hour, I was in a daze while standing up. At this time, I was completely in a very lazy state, and I didn't even want to open my eyes when I was standing up.
swish swish...
I squinted my eyes, and there was a very slight sound of swaying grass blades next to me. This was actually normal. The mountain breeze at night would sometimes blow all night long, but this really slight sound suddenly stimulated me, and my whole body
Most of the sleepiness I felt above and below dissipated.
It was very strange. My wound was aching faintly, and the sharp premonition that I had when I was injured suddenly came to my mind. It felt very bad. I suddenly turned my head, and a shadow had already rushed over from the grass next to me.
It was just a punch, which hit my nose right on the face, causing blood to flow out. What's worse, the pain in my nose quickly spread throughout my face, and I could hardly even open my eyes.
In panic, I grabbed desperately and caught the other person's arm. At the same time, I felt that he was holding a knife in his hand, and the tip of the knife had touched my neck. Although the flesh was not even scratched,
It already made me terrified. This was definitely not a joke. If I had moved just a little bit slower, the sharp knife would have cut off my arteries by now.
I held on to his arm for all my life. My previous hunch saved me. The other person might have thought that he would hit him with one blow. Facing the fatal attack, I used all my strength on my arm. The assassin's strength was not special.
It was so big that with my arms blocked by my hands, the knife in my hand couldn't go any further.
But his other hand was free, and he punched me head-on again. I was hit all over the sky, but I subconsciously refused to relax at all. This all happened very quickly, but if he didn't hit it with one blow, the chance would be gone.
Even though I only gained a little time, I attracted the attention of others. The night watchman shouted in a low voice and rushed towards me. Suddenly, I felt that the assassin wanted to escape, and he suddenly
He broke free from my hands and quickly got into the grass.
As soon as the night watchman started to stir up trouble, everyone woke up. Chen Yu came the fastest. When she saw my appearance, she knew something was wrong, and she immediately asked people to search everywhere.
"Try to catch them alive. If you can't catch them, beat them to death on the spot." Chen Yu looked at the blood on my face and was afraid for a while.
"Who is this ***?" I didn't know if the bridge of my nose was broken, but there was a heartbreaking pain. Chen Yu helped me wipe away the blood, and then I reluctantly opened my eyes.
This matter seems a little unreasonable. Where is Shiyanchuan? Why do people always want to kill me? And every time they are right under my nose.
Chen Yu issued a death order, and those guys didn't dare to come back unless they caught someone. However, the nearby terrain was complicated and there was a lot of vegetation. The guys chased them out for a long time, but they didn't find any trace of the assassin. I didn't dare either.
I went to bed again and sat with Chen Yu until dawn. People who had gone out came back one after another, saying that they had found nothing. This incident also made Chen Yu very angry. After dawn, she asked someone to guard me, and then she took others out to look for me.
See if there are any clues.
Chen Yu walked for about twenty minutes. It was already daytime now. If someone wanted to take advantage of the chaos to come and commit murder, it would probably not be that easy. But what happened was unexpected. Several of the guys who were guarding me heard the sound coming from the east side.
There was movement in the dense grass nest, but they didn't dare to go all over, leaving three of them beside me.
"Commissioner, don't worry." A guy held a gun and glanced left and right: "The other party is seeking death."
I was leaning against a rock, guarded by three people, and some support staff were on the outside. I couldn't care less about talking to the guy, my heart was pounding. I was very nervous, like a tainted witness in a movie.
, I don’t know when a bullet will fly out and blow my head off.
Suddenly, my hand pressed something next to me. Judging from the feel, it should be a small stone, but the stone was obviously wrapped with a layer of paper. I tilted my head and looked, and it was indeed like this. It was wrapped in paper.
The small stone was in my hand. I was very confused because there was no such thing just now.
At this time, my mind was spinning faster than usual, so I picked up the stone and stuffed it into my pocket without saying anything.
A stone wrapped in paper was specially placed where I could see it. I knew without thinking too much that there must be some information on that piece of paper, but I didn’t know who threw the stone. If I think about it this way
, the movement in the grass nest just now must have been caused by this person.
I felt a little relieved. Sure enough, the search guys came back and found nothing. I asked them to stay around. These people were all nervous when something happened, and all their attention was focused on the surroundings.
In response to the unusual situation, I just sat there, quietly took off the note on the stone, held it in the palm of my hand and read it.
There are words on the note: The man has been killed. Go five hundred meters east and look for the tree with three stones beside the forest. You will understand after you see it for yourself.
There was no signature on the note, but I knew who had left it, because the paper had a very faint rotten smell, which was the smell of mummies with rotten faces.
"Follow me." I stood up and walked eastward with the guys.
"Where are you going?" The guys became more nervous and tried to stop me.
I know that the note left by Liu Yishan, the rotten-faced mummy, is very general, but his meaning is very obvious. The person has been killed. He must have killed my assassin. So the crisis around me should be resolved, not
There is danger again.
It’s just that I don’t understand. It’s a miracle that Liu Yishan survived. Why should he help me? Help me kill the attacker? You must know that while he is helping me, he is also taking great risks. Once Chen Yu’s people are killed,
If he is discovered, he will probably be shot dead during the pursuit.
With so many questions, I quickly walked to the approximate location where Liu Yishan left me. It was a sparse forest that could not hide anyone. The guys didn’t know what I was going to do, and they were also full of doubts. I continued to look,
I immediately saw the tree with three stones piled on it. The soil under the tree had obviously been turned over, and experienced people would know what was buried underneath without even thinking.
"Just dig towards this place." I turned around and asked two people to dig out the disturbed soil.
The soil layer was actually buried very shallowly. After wiping off the top soil a little, the hem of his clothes was revealed, which was the hem of the jacket. The guys were shocked and didn't know who died here. They cleaned up all the top soil, and the two men were shocked.
When the man who did it saw the corpse below, he screamed almost at the same time, sat down on the ground, and involuntarily turned his head to look at me.
At that moment, my nerves and thoughts were frozen and I couldn't move.
Buried under the soil seems to be another "I".
It was at this moment that I suddenly understood why the first time I saw the attacker's back, I felt that he was so familiar but could not recall it.
The guys' eyes were extremely surprised. They looked at the corpses in the pit and then at me, and they were all stunned. Two of them knew what happened to Tao Xiaochuan and Liao Dalong before, but they never imagined that this kind of thing would happen.
On me.
"Special correspondent, this..." Both of them looked at me, with a hint of suspicion in their eyes. If I was the only one, they probably wouldn't think much about it, but as soon as this "me" who was killed by a rotten-faced mummy appeared,
, let them start to distinguish between the two me, dead and alive, and which one is the real body.
"I don't want to explain too much. When Chen Yu and Brother Wen come out, they will be able to tell the difference."
I separated from everyone and slowly squatted next to the corpse. At this time, even I couldn't tell the difference clearly. I felt like Zhuang Zhou Mengdie. Which one is the real me? Maybe only at this time can I deeply understand
It was like Liao Dalong's mentality back then. He looked at his other self who stopped breathing and was buried underground.
This question cannot be explained. I didn't fall into that dangerous river, so how could another me appear?
I squatted next to the corpse for a while and smoked another cigarette. After calming down for a while, I felt that I was too arbitrary. In this way, Chen Yu and Brother Wen would definitely ask me about the relevant situation and how I knew the corpse was buried here.
, I have absolutely no way to answer.
But it was already like this, and the best I could do was pretend to be confused. I stood up and asked someone to take the body back. In this weather, the body would rot before long, but I really didn’t know how to deal with it. I couldn’t see it.
