My pet owner is not simple [unlimited stream]

Tao Long looked at Su Qian, and raised his chin towards the different piece of land in the distance.

Su Qian took a deep breath, and walked cautiously towards the river.

The river water gently hit the nearby shallows, and it seemed to be fairly stable at the moment.

Su Qian didn't feel relieved. Facing the direction of the river, he squatted down and carefully dug up the soil with his hands.

With the reduction of soil, things under the ground gradually revealed their original shape.

It was a small box with talisman paper plastered on the outside, but because it had been buried in the soil for too long, the talisman paper on it had rotted and broken.

There are two broken ropes connected to both sides of the box. I don't know what was tied with this before.

Fearing that something was tied to the other end of the rope, Su Qian dug the soil aside for a long time.

But maybe because too much time has passed, even the rope has long since rotted into mud, and there is nothing in the sand on both sides.

Su Qian finally turned around and made a safe gesture.

Tao Long asked Ma Yanran who was on the side to come down from the slope first, and then he approached and walked around the small box in the soil.

"It's just a small broken box?" Tao Long said as he bent down and picked up the box directly with his hands.

Su Qian looked surprised. These seemingly mysterious things would often trigger some traps or curses.

Does it really matter if you pick it up directly like Tao Taki?

But seeing Tao Long's determined and casual look, Su Qian didn't make a sound.

Tao Long knew what Su Qian was thinking just by seeing Su Qian's expression, so he simply explained:

"You can see that everything outside is rotten like this. No matter what it is, it must have been useless long ago."

As he spoke, he slowly pushed aside the thin strips of paper that had already been damaged on the box, exposing the iron box that was also corroded and pitted, and still attached to the rust.

The lock on the box had already rusted and loosened, and it fell off with a light touch, revealing the relatively intact items in the box.

Tao Long shook the box twice, checked to see if there was anything special in the box, and knew that there was nothing unusual in it, so he looked carefully.

The inside of the box is covered with talisman paper similar to the outside of the box. Because it is protected by the box, it is only a little old and covered with oxidized spots, but it is basically complete.

In addition, at the bottom of the box was a square scarf-like thing, with two dark red and almost black marks on it, which looked like marks left after blood had coagulated for many years.

This square scarf was also covered with dark red symbols, with three words faintly written in the middle.

"Do you know what is written on it?" Tao Long picked up the scarf, and glanced at Su Qian and Ma Yanran who were standing quietly.

Su Qian shook his head.

But Ma Yanran recognized it for a while, and said a little uncertainly: "This seems to be written in seal script...Zhang, Dan, Ying?"

"Zhang Danying? It sounds like a personal name." Tao Long threw away the empty box except for the messy talisman paper, and casually threw the square scarf to Su Qian.

"Keep it well, maybe it will be useful in the future."

Su Qian subconsciously caught the flying scarf, then quickly picked up the small box covered in rust from the ground, put the scarf into the box, and heaved a sigh of relief.

He is not like Tao Long, who has neither his strength nor his confidence to dare to take these weird things with his bare hands.

The river on the side hit the shoal wave after wave, and suddenly a gust of wind blew in, and the water covered Su Qian's feet, and retreated quickly.

Su Qian didn't care, he shook his feet, thought inwardly that he was unlucky, and hurriedly followed the pace of Tao Long going away.

……

"What's the matter with that village chief...does he look down on women?" Miao Rongrong complained softly as she walked back the way she came.

Gu Zhoushan quickly nodded in agreement: "I also think his attitude towards you is weird. I'm not used to it."

"It's not just weird..." Miao Rongrong looked at the innocent Gu Zhoushan, thought for a while, and felt that there was no need to explain these old feudal ideas to children, so she moved on to the next topic.

Miao Rongrong recalled the conversation at the old village head's house before, and always felt that there were many things that were not explained clearly.

"Think about the story that the village head told. He took himself out of the whole story. Don't talk about an old woman, how can she have the physical strength and energy to do so many things by herself. Besides, it's a shame to sink her daughter-in-law into the river. It's a big murder! Since he, the village head, knew about it, but he didn't intend to stop it, he might have given a little push along the way."

Miao Rongrong whispered her own judgment.

The tall vegetation on both sides of the house blocked the light, making the path slightly dark at present.

Gu Zhoushan frowned: "You mean, the sinking of Zhang Danying in the river was actually planned by the village chief?"

Miao Rongrong shook her head: "That's not what I meant."

"It's just that the village chief certainly didn't stand up to object to what happened back then. His attitude was even tacit approval."

Gu Zhoushan nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly remembered: "By the way, since that Zhang Danying used to be Granny Cui's daughter-in-law, will Granny Cui keep some of her things at home now?"

Miao Rongrong's eyes lit up, and she gave Gu Zhoushan a thumbs-up: "That makes sense! But right now, let's go to the river first and find the thing that the old village chief said was mixed with Zhang Danying's blood relatives." Come out."

Hearing this, Huan Feng silently raised his head and looked into the distance.

It happened to be the direction of the river behind the village.

Gu Zhoushan and Miao Rongrong talked while walking, and finally left the trail and walked back to the main road of the village.But when he turned his head, he found that Huan Feng was standing far away and did not follow.

"What's wrong?" Gu Zhoushan beckoned to Huanfeng.

Huan Feng shook his head and continued to follow behind Gu Zhoushan without making a sound.

Miao Rongrong and Gu Zhoushan felt relieved and continued to run excitedly towards the back of Hushui Village.

However, as soon as he arrived at the place, Gu Zhoushan was dumbfounded.

The rising river has already submerged the shallows below the trail, turning it into a half-moon lake.

The light blue river water flows continuously at the corner covered by the mountain peaks in the distance. The surface of the river sways slightly under the influence of the wind blowing and undercurrents, shining with blue phosphorescence.

"These rivers are all high tide..." Gu Zhoushan murmured looking at the river surface that had risen more than a little.

This is great, the shallows are flooded, so how can I get the object that was originally buried near the river?

Zhou You, who touched the water, had an accident when he went back that night.

Gu Zhoushan himself, who was accidentally splashed with water, seemed to have had an accident.

Gu Zhoushan trembled, he didn't want to touch this strange river again.

The most important thing is that the blue color of this river will stain your clothes!

What a nuisance.

"Hey, look." Miao Rongrong looked at the nearby ground and found a few footprints on the wet soil that came out of the submerged shallows.

The imprint is clear and looks like it has just been there.

Gu Zhoushan ran over to take a closer look, and indeed saw several clear footprints with different sizes and shapes.

Not only that, but when he looked back at the feet he passed by, there was also a row of footprints.

Eh!

Gu Zhoushan suddenly stepped on the surrounding area as if he had discovered a novel game, leaving his own crooked footprints in this open space.

It was not enough for Gu Zhoushan to play alone, he even pulled Huan Feng who was standing beside him, and walked together on the wet ground, leaving two rows of footprints, one big and one small, stretching side by side to a distance.

Miao Rongrong covered her forehead.

"Stop playing, come and watch this first..." she said weakly.

"Oh! Good!" Gu Zhoushan happily walked around from the side, paying special attention to the places where he stepped, and specifically avoided the places he passed by, without destroying the footprints left just now.

Only then did Miao Rongrong analyze the footprints by the river: "Look at these, they obviously belong to three people. And one of them is much lighter than the other two, it should be a woman..."

"I see!" Gu Zhoushan clapped his hands and realized: "Three people, aren't they Tao Long, Su Qian, and Ma Yanran!"

Miao Rongrong, who was interrupted, almost wanted to slap Gu Zhoushan, but she still couldn't muster up the courage when she looked at Huanfeng who was staring at him.

He could only put one hand on his hip, pointed to his feet with the other, and said loudly: "I am teaching you how to do this! There are not many living people in the village, so I can guess that it is the three of them. Then when you go out, you are not here. What about the village?"

"At that time, can you still know who is who based on the footprints on the ground?"

Gu Zhoushan puffed up his face, lowered his head, and humbly accepted Miao Rongrong's criticism.

Forget it, the demands on Gu Zhoushan cannot be so high.

Miao Rongrong adjusted herself for a while before continuing: "Look at these footprints, the clearest ones came out of the river. This means that they entered the shallows before the river rose to such a high level. Came out after a while."

"I guess, it's possible that the river rose, washed away all the dead branches and rotten leaves that had been piled up next to it, and washed away part of the sediment on the surface, and then washed out the things buried in the soil. So ...the thing that the old village chief said may have been taken away by them." Miao Rongrong made a reasonable and bold guess, and the situation she said was indeed not too different from the reality.

"Then... what should I do?" Gu Zhoushan's small face wrinkled.

"It's nothing to do. Didn't the village chief say that the things buried 30 years ago were useless at the time, how much more can they do now?" Miao Rongrong shrugged.

"Besides, we haven't visited Mrs. Cui's house yet."

The author has something to say: Gu Zhoushan: (playing with mud happily)

Huan Feng: (dotes on)
