"Hutou, why do you want to see me so late?" Chen Xiazi sat behind the desk and looked at me with a smile.
I gathered myself together, thinking that I couldn't give up even after this, so I took out the dragon bone rubbing and handed it to him.
When blind man Chen saw the dragon bone rubbing, he couldn't help but trembled. He narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't stop looking at the dragon bone rubbing.
"Good stuff, good stuff, Hutou, where did this rubbing of yours come from?" Blind Chen clicked his tongue in surprise. It seemed that he was very interested in this dragon bone rubbing.
I was so impatient that I didn't argue with him. I directly told him our purpose of coming and told him everything about the copperhead and the old man's mysterious disappearance.
After hearing this, Blind Chen fell silent and kept tapping his fingers on the table. His silence made me feel a little uneasy, for fear that he would refuse. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him.
Unexpectedly, Blind Chen suddenly stood up and said without asking anything: "Hutou, let's go to Henan."
We set off the next day. Overnight, Chen Xiazi had fully prepared the equipment and tools, including shovels, pry bars, flashlights, ropes, fire breakers, cold fireworks, gas masks, compressed food, medicines, etc., and even
He prepared some saline solution and filled the trunk of his extended off-road vehicle with everything. Later, the monkey secretly told me that he saw spray guns and special detonators hidden inside.
None of them can be killed by the explosion, and even a large building can be blown down.
I was dumbfounded and dripping with cold sweat. Is this going to fight? As for such a big battle?
This time, in addition to the three of us, there was also a guy who was in charge of driving. I didn’t know his real name. I just heard Blind Man Chen call him Dabi. As his name suggests, his nose was very big and red. Look.
It sounds a little funny. I heard that he and Blind Man Chen have been together for more than ten years, and he is very efficient in his work, and he has the trust of Blind Man Chen deeply.
Since highways now extend in all directions, and Jiangsu and Henan are bordering each other, the journey didn't take long. We started at noon and arrived in Shangqiu before evening.
What people didn't expect was that that night, people from Li Dalongtou came to the door again. This time it was not the bearded Liu De, but the female driver A Xue and two thirty-something men.
year old man.
The previous events made me and A Xue know each other. As soon as she arrived, she called me aside and said straight to the point: "Wang Fo, our big dragon head is missing."
I was shocked after hearing this and asked her quickly what was going on. A Xue said that when Monkey and I left Shangqiu that time, Li Dalongtou became erratic and his last appearance was a month ago.
Also missing with him were his son Li Hu and the bearded Liu De. They searched many places, but there was no news about them.
I counted the days and found that Li Dalongtou's disappearance happened to be on the third day after my grandfather disappeared, which was also the day when the two packages were hung out. Is this a coincidence?
Before I could ask, Ashue said again: "On the first day when Dalongtou disappeared, he gave me a letter and told me to wait a month before opening it. The time just came yesterday. Guess what the letter said?
What?"
Of course I couldn't guess, but seeing that Axue came to me so carefully, I felt that what the letter said must be related to me, so I said, "Then what the letter said must be related to me, right?"
"That's right." Axue smiled bitterly, and then said: "The letter said that you will definitely come here in a month. He asked me to tell you, don't go any further. There is another sentence after that, I also
I can’t understand.” After Ashue finished speaking, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to me.
What the letter said was the same as what she described. It accurately stated that we would be here now and that we were going to the old route of the Yellow River. She advised me not to continue, otherwise I would get burned. But I couldn't understand the last sentence.
"None of this is true, it will appear when darkness falls and only the eyes of a tiger can see it." What does this mean? What is it? And nothing is true?
I have a headache now. I can basically conclude that Li Dalongtou asked me to take that bronze head back deliberately, not for me to sell it, but for my grandpa to see. That bronze head should contain some kind of information.
Or maybe it was an agreement that only my grandfather could understand.
But what I don’t know is what is the relationship between him and the old man? Did he mail the dragon bone rubbing? If so, why did he send it after the old man disappeared? And who sent the other one? They
What on earth were I going to do and what happened to me? I had no clue about all these questions, and it felt very uncomfortable.
"What are you going to do now?" Ashue asked gently.
"I don't know!" I shook my head and sighed. After thinking about it, I said to her with some embarrassment: "Don't be angry if you say this. In fact, I don't trust your big dragon head very much."
"You think he took advantage of you, right?" Ashue was very smart and guessed what I was thinking.
I nodded. She was right. If Li Dalong hadn't forced me to accept the bronze head, none of this would have happened. But now that I can't see others, I can only keep this bronze head.
Resentment is held in my heart.
"Then are you going to listen to Da Longtou and give up now? Or are you ready to continue?"
I pondered for a moment and said my thoughts directly. I said that I can't give up halfway just because of your big dragon head's words. After all, this matter concerns our old man. He may be in danger now. If it's because of
If something happens to his old man because of my retreat, then my whole life will be uneasy.
Axue nodded understandingly, and then said: "But have you ever thought that even if you go, you may not be able to solve the problem. If you get yourself involved again, wouldn't it be worse?"
Let’s do everything we can to ensure peace of mind! Some things may not necessarily have results, but some people still do them. Why is this?
Ashue nodded thoughtfully, then smiled and said: "In that case, let's set off tomorrow!"
I was surprised. She said that she was ready to go with us. Naturally, I didn’t want them to get involved, but what she said next left me with no reason to refuse. She only said one sentence
: "If I don't show you the way, are you confident that you can really find the place?"
When we went back, we saw that the two men brought by Monkey and Axue were already talking about big things. The two men looked very distinctive, one was short and fat, and the tall and thin man had cross-eyes.
The fat man’s name is Li Tiangua, which fits his image very well, and the cross-eyed man is called Zhou Fugui. Both of them are good players in the Jianglong clan. I heard that the fat man is also a nephew of Li Da’s Longtou clan, and he is very popular among them.
The true biography of Li Dalongtou.
The next night, a group of seven of us officially set off. Chen Xiazi didn't say anything about Axue and the others' joining. After all, this is their territory. With these few people who know everything about it, they may be very knowledgeable about our actions this time.
help.
This time it was Axue who drove the car, and Dabi squeezed in behind with us. He was a bit taciturn, unlike the two guys that Axue brought with him.
Let’s start chatting all over the world.
Blind Chen, on the other hand, was sitting in the passenger seat with his eyes closed and concentrating, with no intention of getting involved with us. Maybe it was because he was the senior one here, so he naturally had a sense of superiority and was afraid of losing his worth. All of this was
It's human nature and we don't care about it.
After driving for about two hours, there was no road ahead. We found a place to cut down some weeds and branches to cover the car, then carried our equipment separately and started hiking.
By the time we arrived at Di'er, it was already evening. The old course of the Yellow River gave people a desolate feeling. Although the majesty was no longer there, the momentum was still touching.
While they were all setting up tents and cooking, I took a look at the surrounding terrain. The place we were now on was the outer edge of a mountain range, surrounded by desolation. The ancient Yellow River road was at the foot of the mountain. At a glance, the river
The bottom is dry and cracked with huge gaps, some even as wide as more than one meter. It is estimated that if a person falls in, it will be difficult to climb up.
The soil on both sides of the old Yellow River has sharp edges and corners washed by the former river. The winding folds and upright mud pillars fully demonstrate the uncanny craftsmanship of nature. It is simple and magnificent, and one can imagine the rapids of the Yellow River at that time.
How majestic it is when it flows by.
After resting for a night, we climbed down along the river the next day. There were a lot of people in our group, including river dragons and local rats. Blind Chen was also a well-informed and experienced veteran. This team was already very impressive.
Now, I estimate optimistically that nothing can stop us.
Actually, I don't expect to find the old man here. What I'm looking for is evidence and clues that the old man has been here. As long as I can prove that the old man has been here, I have a chance to find clues to his whereabouts.
This dragon's mouth is much larger than I thought. I originally thought it was just a small pit about ten meters in size, but I didn't expect that it actually covers the entire old road for a considerable distance, hundreds of meters long. No wonder Ashue
They say we can’t find it if they don’t lead us. This is the bottom of the Yellow River. Chen Xiazi’s Feng Shui technique of finding dragons and acupuncture points has no place at all. If we try to find such a large area bit by bit, we don’t know where we will end up.
It can only be found in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
Under the leadership of Ashue, we came to a location to the north of the dragon's mouth. I couldn't see any signs of being turned over. Ashue said that it was because it was washed away by heavy rain, so it looked no different from anywhere else.
, if it weren’t for people who knew, they wouldn’t have been able to find it.
