Overshadowing the sun is always a demon

Judging from the position, she jumped from the side window.It was next to the kitchen, and there was only a narrow gap between the two walls. It stands to reason that she would not be killed at this height, but she was firmly stuck after jumping from the window. It was worn out, and it must have bled to death.It happened that the clothes drying on the third floor were blown down, and the girl stretched her head to look and found Xiaomi. At that time, Xiaomi was covered in blood, and kept shouting with her head up, without even closing her eyes. The girl fainted on the spot.

Luo Jia hugged Xiaomi and cried loudly, for a while she blamed Li Fei for killing her because of the quarrel with Xiaomi, and for a while she blamed herself that if she had discovered Xiaomi earlier, she might be saved.Li Fei just stood there like a log, with pain and self-blame on his face, unable to say anything.

Old Uncle Wang came back after inquiring about the news for a while: "Old Gu said that we have to deal with Xiaomi's funeral tomorrow, and we have to wait another day to go to the firewood pile to tow the truck. This is a good opportunity, we can go."

Cheng Quan frowned: "I always feel that Xiaomi died very strangely. Even if it was really because of a quarrel that he committed suicide, why didn't he choose the front window?"

Old Uncle Wang shook his head: "Hey, it's a pity that the girl died, but what does that have to do with us?"

Cheng Quan shook his head, but just frowned and didn't speak.

Fadu guessed: "Maybe she didn't want to die in the first place, but just wanted to scare Li Fei, so she purposely found a place where she wouldn't fall to death."

"If it's just like this, it's enough to make a fake move to jump off the building when Li Fei is present, why do you really jump?" Cheng Quan shook his head, "The position she was stuck in is so hidden, no one found out after she died for so long She. If it wasn't for some clothes that just fell, maybe it wouldn't be discovered until it rotted and stinks."

Fadu understood what he meant: "Do you think Xiaomi's death was not an accident?"

"Think about it, if her body hadn't been found, everyone would think she was missing and start searching everywhere. This would at least delay the time for several days." Cheng Quan replied, "Although someone has discovered the body in advance, Dealing with the aftermath can also delay for a day or two."

"So, someone doesn't want us to go to the woodpile at this hour?"

Cheng Quan nodded: "I think so."

Fadu lowered his voice: "You can give me a letter now, what is the connection between the firewood pile and the mausoleum?"

Cheng Quan and Old Uncle Wang looked at each other, and then answered slowly: "The water in Haizi will move, but it is absolutely impossible for the big mausoleum to move with it."

Fadu nodded, this was the most confusing thing for him all the time.

"My inference is that the location of the Great Mausoleum has never changed, but there are dozens of underground water channels leading to different places under the sea where it is located, and water periodically emerges with the water channels under the impetus of some force. If we master this, we can accurately predict where Haizi will appear next time." Cheng Quan replied, "Unfortunately, we still haven't figured out this rule yet."

Fadu's face was dark: "Isn't it the same as not saying it?"

"The underground water channel is very likely to be a smooth rock formation, which creates an effect similar to that of a periscope through refraction. In fact, what Haizi sees is just a mirror projection of the Great Mausoleum. Obviously, the people who created the Royal Tomb did not intend to let anyone discover it. It is only through the mirror image that people look up to it. It is really impossible for Wang Pan to meet the real mausoleum.” Chengquan ignored his complaints at all, “Since it is so difficult to find Haizi, even if we meet, we are very happy. It is difficult to find the waterway leading to the royal tomb in such a short period of time. In fact, it is not the first time we have come to Yucheng. The last time we came, we placed detectors on the firewood pile. According to the data we collected, The time when the chaihuodui spring fell into the water coincided with the time when we encountered Haizi several times."

Xiaobai, who didn't care about anything, frowned for the first time: "That is to say, the spring of the firewood pile is probably one of the waterways connected to the mausoleum."

Cheng Quan nodded: "Once the water in the spring recedes, it will be even more difficult to enter the waterway. This is their purpose of delaying time."

"They?" Fadu asked: "... Could it be someone from Yucheng who deliberately delays time with Xiaomi's death?"

"I've said it a long time ago, not to mention that there are many weird people in Yucheng, the whole city is weird." Old Uncle Wang said.

"Whether the people in Yucheng are responsible or not, the person who did this must know that the water will recede within a day or two." Xiao Bai suddenly stood up, "It's not too late, we have to leave tonight to get firewood heap."

Both Saleh and Hassan were obviously surprised to be dragged out of bed to lead the way in the middle of the night.

Hassan is okay, but the elderly Saleh desperately shook his head and objected: "The desert at night belongs to the devil. There is a rule in our business that we never set foot in the desert at night. If anyone refuses to obey, the devil will take this Man is forever trapped in the arms of the desert."

"Why don't we add an extra tour fare for the whole group." Cheng Quan didn't have to hide it now, and the price was much more straightforward, and he was obviously not short of money.

"No, no, I don't want to deal with the devil, don't force me, I don't want to do it no matter how much money you give me." Saleh glanced at the sand outside, with a look of fear on his face.

Fadu couldn't bear to see it: "Forget it, it's a two-hour journey, we shouldn't get lost if we rely on the compass."

Old Uncle Wang shook his head: "No, there is no sun as a reference at night, even a professional guide can easily get lost, and the few of us are even less sure."

"I advise you, no matter what happens, it's best to wait until the day to go, the desert at night is really scary." Saleh shook his head, "The devil will lead you to the abyss of death, trapped in the middle of the desert forever ..."

"I'll take you there." Hassan said suddenly.

Saleh became anxious and shouted: "Hassan! You are crazy!"

"I need money. I want to marry Lima." Hassan said loudly. "The night is the domain of the devil. It is an ancient superstition. Based on my experience and the compass, it is absolutely impossible to get lost in a two-hour journey."

"Don't go! You can't go!" Saleh was so angry that he yelled at Hassan in their own language, and Hassan quarreled with him unconvincedly. It's already a garbled code and I didn't understand a word.

Chengquan turned his head and walked out: "Let's go, let's go down and get ready first."

Fadu was still confused: "Are Saleh and Hassan really not following us? Without a guide, can we reach the firewood pile safely?"

"Don't worry, Hassan will follow."

Fadu was taken aback: "Why?"

"Sixth Sense." Chengquan said jokingly, "Even if he really doesn't come, we won't get lost in the desert, at most we will meet some monsters and ghosts. So do you feel more at ease? "

Fadu was worried: "Not really."

Chengquan raised his eyebrows: "Why? What else do you have to worry about?"

"I think tonight's action has been cursed by the Crow's Mouth God." Fadu replied seriously.

Cheng Quan: ...

When we set off in the middle of the night, Hassan came out quietly through the back door, and Fadu couldn't help asking: "Hassan, isn't Saleh angry?"

"Uncle Saleh is very angry, but I'm already an adult, he can't influence my thoughts." Hassan replied with a smile, "I want to earn more money while I'm young, and marry Lima back home as soon as possible."

Uncle Wang patted Hassan on the shoulder: "Young man, have ambition!"

Xiaomi's death did not bring much horror. Yucheng was still peaceful and peaceful at night, and the whole town was sleeping peacefully under the gentle moonlight.The sound of the engine tearing through the night was really ear-piercing. When the car drove out, Fadu saw that several windows were lit with candles, and he couldn't help but began to worry: "Didn't the whole city know that we went out after such a toss up?" How about we go around the sand a few more times before going to the firewood pile?"

"You dare to go around the desert in the middle of the night, are you afraid that we won't get lost?" Old Uncle Wang said angrily.

Cheng Quan then said: "Don't worry, I deliberately talked with the boss for a long time at night, asked about the location of Mirror Sea, and then showed a lot of photos of the starry sky. The scene has been done enough, even if we leave, he will only think it is To take a night shot at the Mirror Sea, we only need to go two kilometers in the direction of the Mirror Sea, and then turn to the firewood pile.”

Fa Du admired him very much. Cheng Quan was really careful and meticulous in his work. With such a teammate, how much trouble could be saved!

Since entering the desert, Xiaobai has been sleeping more and more, but talking less and less.At this moment, Xiaobai was not energetic at all. When Fadu turned his head, Xiaobai was already fast asleep. Every time the car climbed and turned, his head would be bumped against the window.

Old Uncle Wang glanced back, and couldn't help saying: "Fado, find something to cushion Xiao Wang's head, if you hit him again, you'll be stupid."

"Oh." Fadu agreed, but it was a pity that everything was stuffed in the trunk, and there was really nothing useful around him. After thinking for a while, he finally sighed, and put Xiaobai's head on his shoulder.Xiao Bai still slept deeply with his eyes closed, but he just twisted his body to make himself sleep more comfortably.

The boundless desert outside the window faded away from the dazzling golden gauze of the day and replaced it with a silver-white evening dress. The shadows of the sand dunes are like crescent after crescent moon, constructing a grotesque world.

From the rearview mirror of the car, Fadu saw the posture of Xiaobai snuggling up to him, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

Having been with Xiaobai for so long, apart from being used to each other, it seems that a little strange family affection has also developed.A great demon who has lost his golden body, and a young monk who can no longer live a normal life. The world is so vast, but they are destined to only cling to each other.

Bang!

Old Uncle Wang braked and almost threw the three people in the back row out.

Xiaobai fell down from Fadu's shoulders, and Fadu quickly supported him: "Old Uncle Wang, what happened?"

Old Uncle Wang opened his eyes wide: "It seems that something ran over just now."

Everyone looked around at the same time, except for the open space illuminated by the headlights, there was only the quiet sandy sea shrouded in moonlight, and there was nothing unusual.

Cheng Quan frowned: "What did you see?"

Fadu turned his head to look at Xiaobai, Xiaobai shook his head lightly, indicating that he did not feel the evil spirit either.

"It's very big. I ran over it standing upright. I think it should be a person...but... I can't tell..." Uncle Wang shook his head, "Could it be my eyesight?"

As soon as the words fell, the car was suddenly hit hard from the side.
