Vermillion mole

(Someone asked me where the male protagonist is and why he hasn’t come out yet. The male protagonist will not come out until the Crescent Hotel, please be patient~)

Talking while walking, then I felt more and more blurred in front of my eyes, things in the distance gradually became unclear, and the trees became blurred. "It's foggy?" Zhu Sha asked doubtfully.

The fat man said, "Damn, why is it foggy? I thought I was going to faint because of my lack of physical strength!"

I don't know when the fog came up, it was gray, and the forest in the distance was completely invisible, and the trees a few meters away in front of me also turned into strange shadows one by one.A cold breath began to envelope the surrounding forest.

We continued walking for a while, and the fog was so thick that we couldn't see anything.

Zhu Sha said: "We can't go to them according to the original plan. Find a safe place to rest for a while, and wait until the fog subsides a little before starting to move. Generally speaking, this kind of fog will gradually dissipate after nightfall. Come on. It’s going fast.”

After that, I found a withered and rotten tree that had collapsed in the mud. When the huge tree collapsed, it overwhelmed the nearby trees. There was a little more space around it to rest on it. At first, Pan Zi said that he couldn’t make a fire, but in the end he felt really uncomfortable. , I collected some dry branches and dead vines nearby, poured oil on them and made a bonfire.

These dry branches and dead vines are said to be a fire, but in fact they are all wet. At the beginning, there was black smoke. After drying, the bonfire started to flourish. Just drop it in.

It was so exhausting that even the most restless fat man fell silent and went to rest.

Wu Xie took off his shoes and found that the socks were all worn out, like a net bag, and the soles of his feet were full of blisters.Seeing him like this, Zhu Sha knew that he was uncomfortable, so she went to him and took out the medicinal wine to wipe him.After smoothing it evenly, he helped him massage the soles of his feet and the muscles on his calves. It can be seen that Wu Xie enjoyed it very much, after all, Zhu Sha has learned it professionally.

The fat man said sourly from the side: "Hey, Xiao Wu's treatment is good. I'm so tired that there will be a beauty to give me a massage. Then look at me, fat man, eh..." He said and shook his head pretendingly.

Zhu Sha was a little helpless: "Okay, fat man, don't be sour, and at worst, I will massage for you later."

The fat man was happy when he heard it: "That's a good relationship!"

Pan Zi interjected from the side: "Don't be poor, hurry up and rest, the fog clears and you have to go on your way."

But as soon as Pan Zi finished speaking, Wu Xie remembered the snoring.Pan Zi covered his head in pain, thinking to himself, if there is any emergency after sleeping so dead, the third master must be the first to burp.

But after a day, I was really tired, not to mention the cinnabar massage technique is very good, it is impossible for Wu Xie not to fall asleep.

The fat man asked Pan Zi softly: "Da Pan, little fairy, to be honest, if we get to that place and your third master and your son are not there, what are your plans?"

Zhu Sha said: "I have to find my son, that's half my life."

Pan Zi said: "For me, I want to see people when I live, and I want to see corpses when I die. Of course I want to look for them. What are you thinking about?"

The fat man said: "I'm here to make a fortune, not to wipe your ass. Your third master didn't follow the plan and messed things up. Xiao Wu woke up and I didn't say anything about taking care of the fat man. But I can't say it now, I have to say my ugly words first, if your third master is gone, and I take my share of equipment, I can just do my business alone. This forest is so big, I won't go with you Find them."

Pan Zi sneered and said, "Disband? This forest is very mysterious. We haven't encountered a situation yet. If you encounter a situation, you can deal with it alone. Besides, the Gobi is hundreds of kilometers away. Even if you touch something, you can go out alive. Can you go out of the Gobi?"

The fat man laughed, didn't answer, and said: "You fat man, who am I? These old men have their own plans. Let me tell you in advance, so I don't need to worry about you." However, judging from his tone, it seems to be right This matter has a well-thought-out plan.

Zhu Sha shook her head and said, throwing her backpack to Pan Zi: "Okay, we promise you, Pan Zi will put a few books and the flute in my backpack into your backpack, and give the rest of the food and equipment to Fatty. There is also medicine, there is something under the medicine bottle."

The fat man said, "Thank you, little fairy."

Pan Zi shook his head and sighed, "Okay, Fatty, you can do whatever you want, but don't expect us to rescue you when you are in trouble, and don't expect you to get a share of what we touch."

"Don't bluff me, and you don't even ask about it. I'm the ancestor to bluff Fat Master." The fat man said, "Fatty Master, I figured it out a long time ago. Your third master didn't come here to touch the ghost weapon at all. If I want to find good things, I can only do it alone, and I have to be like that little brother, playing missing, the previous two times that little brother dumped us, maybe I got a lot of fat, we don't know."

Zhu Sha smiled, and Wu Xie on the side was also happy. Zhu Sha pinched his thigh, and Wu Xie, who was in pain, woke up instantly, and his eyes were still complaining, "Why did you pinch me?"

The fat man saw that Wu Xie was not asleep, so he didn't say anything, and just said: "What do you listen to when adults talk, go and go, and go to sleep when you sleep."

In fact, both Zhu Sha and Wu Xie felt that there was something in the fat man's words. The fat man knew that Wu Xie was taking a nap. These words should be for Wu Xie. It seemed to remind him that Zhang Qiling disappeared every time. Could it be that he noticed something?I want to remind Wu Xie, but because of me and Pan Zi...he can't speak directly?

Afterwards, everyone fell into silence again. Wu Xie leaned against a branch on one side, gradually calmed down, and fell asleep. Pan Zi and Fatty also seemed preoccupied.

In this way, the three of them guarded Wu Xie and sat there for three or four hours.Suddenly there was a sound from a tree not far away. Pan Zi thought he heard it wrong, but seeing Zhu Sha also looking in that direction, he knew he heard it right.

Pan Zi gestured to Zhu Sha, indicating that he should climb up the tree to have a look, and you should watch below.Zhu Sha nodded knowingly, Pan Zi climbed up directly, Wu Xie also woke up slowly, opened his eyes and saw the fat man sitting there, looking up at a tree, and then staring at it with vigilance. Zhu Sha in the surroundings did not see Pan Zi, so she asked, "Where is Pan Zi?"

Zhu Sha knew it the moment Wu Xie woke up, and made a shush gesture to him lightly, pointing to the tree.

The fat man said softly: "There was some movement just now, he climbed up to have a look."

Before the words were finished, there was a hiss from the tree, telling us not to talk.

The three quickly calmed down, looked at him, waited for a while, and saw Pan Zi gesturing to us, telling us to climb the tree immediately.

The trees here are relatively easy to climb, and there are many footholds, but you need to be extra careful. The trunks are covered with plant mud such as moss, and your feet are easy to slip if you are not stable.Once it slips for the first time, it may fall all the way.They were all cautious, taking one step at a time, as if climbing a tree buried with landmines, and finally climbed to Pan Zi's side.

Zhu Sha went up and asked Pan Zi softly, "What's going on?"

Pan Zi said in a low voice, "There seems to be a person on the tree over there."

"Which side?" Fatty asked softly.Pan Zi pointed in one direction and made a gesture: "About 20 meters, on the branch."

"It's so dark how can you see it? Is it that little brother?" Wu Xie asked

"I couldn't see it at first, but I didn't realize it when it moved just now." Pan Zi frowned, and gestured for the fat man to keep his voice down. "There are leaves blocking it, so it doesn't look very clear, but it shouldn't be that little brother."

The fat man said, "You read that right, are you dizzy because you are anxious to see your third master?"

Pan Zi didn't have time to pay attention to the fat man's run, and waved: "I'm not sure, you can see for yourself!" He pushed aside the dense branches, and pointed to the distant canopy for the fat man to see.

The fat man's eyes were sharp, and he saw it immediately, and said softly: "Fuck, there really is someone."

Pan Zi handed the binoculars to Wu Xie, Wu Xie looked in Fatty's direction, and asked, "Could it be the 'Wen Jin' we saw in the swamp last night, my brother didn't catch her yesterday? "

Pan Zi nodded: "It's possible, that's why I asked you to keep your voices down. If it's really her, you'll run away when you hear the sound."

Wu Xie handed the binoculars to the fat man who was clamoring for a look, and said to Pan Zi, "What should we do? If she is really Wen Jin, we have to catch her."

Zhu Sha shook her head: "It's not Chen Wenjin, it's Ning!"

Everyone was taken aback, and the fat man asked in astonishment: "Little fairy, why are you so sure it's Ning?"

Zhu Sha said lightly: "Aning and I are like magnets and ferromagnets. We will sense each other's existence within a certain distance."

"Drag from the entrance through the dense forest and swamp, and then move it to such a high tree. This is a snake marathon. These snakes are really powerful." The fat man leaned on the branch next to him, chewed his mouth, He pondered: "Why do these snakes seem to be the same as ants? Do you think they are social animals like ants, and there is a snake queen hidden in their snake nest, and these corpses are transported to the snake queen to eat."

"What thick snake?" Wu Xie didn't understand at once.

The fat man said: "Have you never dug out the ant nest? The queen of the ants is responsible for laying eggs, and the ants are responsible for feeding the queen. I think it is right, it must be the case, the cockscomb snake here may have the same social life as the ants and bees." Deconstruction. There must be a queen snake in this forest, and all these little snakes were born by it."

Wu Xie became more and more puzzled: "Indeed, the behavior of these snakes is incomprehensible, but your guessing like this must be unreasonable. Snakes and insects are completely different types, and this possibility is very rare."

The four of them were silent for a while, and the fat man said, "What the hell are they coming for? Obviously, the corpse is here, and there must be many snakes nearby. Hurry up and snatch the corpse, and then leave here immediately."

Zhu Sha suddenly found that Pan Zi hadn't put down the binoculars all this time, and thought it was strange that he still couldn't see clearly after looking at it for so long.A closer look revealed that Pan Zi's hands were covered with sweat and his face was turning blue.

Zhu Sha leaned forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

Pan Zi put down the binoculars, feeling a little strange, shook his head and said to Zhu Sha, "It's nothing."

But that expression was definitely not an expression of "nothing". Zhu Sha took the binoculars and looked in that direction again, only to find that there was indeed nothing unusual.I had some doubts in my heart, but the fat man had already started down the tree.I didn't have time to think about it any more, so I took a last glance at the distance and followed the fat man down.

When Pan Zi went down to the tree, his expression had completely returned to normal. He didn't know what happened just now, but Zhu Sha noticed that Pan Zi was always looking in that direction.

If he didn't say anything, Zhu Sha didn't want to ask even more, maybe he might not be sure, so it's better to just let it go than to make himself depressed by asking.The four of them immediately packed their things, carried their backpacks, and immediately prepared to walk in that direction.

Just as he was about to start, Pan Zi stopped suddenly. At this time, the fat man also noticed his strangeness and asked him what was wrong. He raised his finger and pointed in that direction, making a silent gesture.

They all stopped, and suddenly heard a slight human voice in the woods in a certain direction, rustling, as if someone was talking.

Because the woods were very quiet, the sound was extremely abrupt and inexplicable. When I listened carefully, I felt that the intermittent sound seemed to be a woman talking in a low voice.

We all listened quietly, the voice fluctuated up and down, erratic, and seemed to be the sound of wind blowing through the bushes, but the surrounding branches and leaves were as fixed, there was no wind at all, and what made us feel cold was that the sound came The direction is the direction of Aning's body.

And it was Aning's voice! Pan Zi asked tremblingly, "Cinnabar... Hasn't Aning formally signed the contract yet?"

Zhu Sha nodded: "It usually takes 24 hours for the underworld to receive the application, and then approve to keep the soul in the body and share my ability. Now there is still half an hour before Ah Ning dies, so the time is up ?”

Pan Zi said: "It's true...then the talking Ah Ning..."

The fat man scolded softly, "Damn it, what show is this playing! Who is talking?"

Wu Xie didn't like this feeling, so he said to them: "The moonlight here is bleak, the ghost fog is filled, and the evil spirit is soaring. I think something must happen. Let's go quickly. I'm afraid we will suffer disaster if we stay."

Zhu Sha said, "Where are you going?"

Wu Xie said, "Of course I'm going to Third Uncle!"

Pan Zi's face turned livid, and he pointed to the direction from which the voice came from: "The problem is, the direction we want to go is the direction of that tree."

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment. It turned out that what Zhu Sha meant was this: "Over there? Are you not mistaken?"

Pan Zi pulled the bolt of the gun, nodded and said, "It was my grandson. Before the fog started, that was the last time I saw smoke."

Zhu Sha drew out the dagger, and it seemed that he was about to see blood: "Whether gods, Buddhas or demons or ghosts, I have never been afraid of my old lady. Today I have to go through here! The three of you follow behind me!"
