Chapter 35 Mystery
I turned around with a flashlight. In the snow in the light, there was a scarlet blood stain. The strong smell of blood came to my face, which seemed shocking in the darkness. The wind and snow were very strong at this moment. If I came later, the blood stains would be covered by snow.
The source of the blood stain is a large bulge, like a snow-white steamed bun, which is obviously piled up by man, as if something was buried inside. One side of the big bulge was dyed red by blood. In the wind and snow, the red and white in front of you formed a shocking contrast.
What is buried in this snow pile?
An ominous premonition arose in my heart. I walked to the snow pile and reached out to make it go apart. Unexpectedly, just as I reached out my hand, a light crack suddenly came from behind me.
It's the sound of snow being stepped on.
Someone is behind me!
I was shocked, turned around suddenly, and saw an unexpected person, who was a mute.
Didn’t he go into the tent? Why did he come out again?
The mute stood behind me, with his hands wrapped around his chest, his expression was cold, and he remained motionless in the wind and snow. My eyes passed by him and looked behind him. There was nothing there, and there was no figure. I couldn't help but curse the boy Tofu in my heart. I don't know how he was watching the night. The mute followed me like this, and he didn't know how to inform me.
Before I could speak, the mute said coldly: "Go back."
I looked at the snow pile, then at the mute, and asked, "Did you kill the things in it?" Although I don't know what was buried inside, I must have been living after so much blood. I was very surprised that the mute came out in the middle of the night, ran here to kill something, and buried it in the snow pile. What was wrong with this?
If the mute accidentally encounters something dangerous when he releases the mattress and solves it easily, then it is just a matter of just solving it. But if he solves it, why should he bury it? Besides, if he releases the mattress, he shouldn't go so far.
Now, this man has clearly entered the tent, but now he has appeared again. His whereabouts are mysterious and it is difficult for people to not doubt it.
When I asked, I pressed my voice specifically, worried that the mute would recognize my identity. But as soon as I said, the mute continued, "Chen Xuan, don't ask too much. I said, do it. If you don't listen, then get out of here." I have learned about the mute's sarcastic tongue for a long time, and I don't care much. What really surprised me was that this man actually knew my identity.
Tofu and I had never met him a few times along the way, and we didn't say a few words, and we kept wrapping it tightly. How did he recognize it?
As if he noticed my surprise, the mute raised his chin proudly slightly, his eyes were cold, and he had a sarcastic tone: "Drive Clown, do you think he can hide it from me?"
I was a little angry. Since it was exposed, there was no need to hide it. So I pulled off the scarf that wrapped my mouth and nose and said, "Who was the one who used the drug to the jumping clown? Are you talking about yourself?"
The mute said coldly, "That's how you talk to your life-savior?" I knew he was referring to Xu Fu's tomb and the later sending signals. He said that it was indeed the life-savior of our group of people. He just gave a sweet date and slapped it again. I'm afraid only children won't care about this kind of thing. But I can't argue with him. It's the most wasteful thing to say, so I said, "Okay, don't say it so nicely. Since you recognize it, let's go straight to the point and explain it directly." After a pause, I stared at his dark eyes and said, "Who are you?"
"Wu Shui." He spit out these two words.
I sneered and said, "You go and cheat me if you say this."
The mute sneered and said, "How do you want me to answer you? Tell you that I am Chen Ci? Actually, I was also wondering why I look exactly the same as him... But I am definitely not him. He is a loser. He is not worthy of being compared with me!"
I have no feelings for Chen Ci, and I can't even call the word dad, but when I heard the mute comment on Chen Ci, I still felt very uncomfortable. You said that beating a dog depends on the owner. Even if I don't want to admit it, Chen Ci is also my father after all, how can this kid be so insulted? I suppressed my anger and said, "Shut up, he is not a loser."
The mute said coldly: "Why is a dead person not a loser?"
"In your eyes, dead people are losers, but everyone will die, and sooner or later you will have such a day."
The mute tsk and said coldly: "The living person has everything, the dead person has nothing, I am still alive, but I can let you die now." This is obviously a threat. After the mute said that, he stopped talking and stood straight in place, with a very stressed look on me, making people dare not act rashly.
The mute obviously didn't want me to know what was buried in the snow, and he also said something about the question I just asked. Obviously, he was not Chen Ci, and he didn't even seem to understand why he looked exactly the same as Chen Ci, and things were a bit weird.
I turned my eyes away from the snow pile, knowing that there was a mute, and it was impossible for me to uncover the secret under the snow pile, so I slowly headed towards the camp. During this period, the mute and I kept a distance between them, and they walked silently in the wind and snow.
The campfire in the camp in the distance was already vaguely visible. I didn't look back and asked, "Then tell me why you are related to the map? What is the reason why you want to enter the tomb of the Giant Ear King?"
The mute didn't say anything.
I continued, "Even if you are not Chen Ci, you should have something to do with it, right? Otherwise, why do you know so clearly about his affairs?"
The mute still refused to answer. I stopped and turned around to block his way. The mute looked at me first and said coldly: "I have no obligation to answer you. What does these questions mean to you? What does it have to do with you if you know?"
I was stunned by his question. The mute mindset is hard for ordinary people to understand. What does it have nothing to do with me? A person who looks exactly like my father, and who is against me everywhere. He first took away the Liuhe Seal, and now he is preparing to take away the map left by Chen Ci. How can he have nothing to do with me?
But when I thought about it, what he said seemed to be right. What can I do if I know? Could it be that if I know the reason, the mute would not rob me? Did I prove that there is some relationship between the mute and Chen Ci, and that this person can change his current virtue?
Knowing this will not change anything to my current situation.
I suddenly understood that when I returned, the mute was like a person who was wandering outside the world. No one could have any impact on him, and most of the time, he would not affect others. Of course, the premise was not to make people angry.
After saying this, the mute bypassed me and walked straight into the camp.
On this end, Tofu fell asleep beside the fire. I lamented my careless friendship and woke up the person, saying, "Let you watch the night, you fell asleep in less than twenty minutes. Are you like you?" Tofu was also confused and said, "Strange, why did I fall asleep? I was obviously singing at night, but it was so exciting... Hiss, I remembered, I smelled a scent, and then I couldn't control my eyelids and couldn't hold it up."
I guessed that it was probably a mute who had used the drug again, so I didn't say much to Tofu. I woke up the next wave of shift changers, took off my clothes and got into the sleeping bag.
Tofu kept asking me what I found. I was not sleepy at this moment, so I told Tofu about what had just happened. But as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Su, who had been sleeping, suddenly spoke: "As long as he was not a person in our team, he would not need to worry about it."
Tofu yelled, poked his head out of his sleeping bag, and said to Lu Su: "You didn't sleep before, but you actually listened to the corner of the wall. It's so immoral."
The fire outside was reflected on the tent, and everything in the tent seemed hazy. Lu Su seemed to smile and said, "If you two are so disturbing, I will not be suitable for eating this bowl of rice." Yes, if you are too low in vigilance, you will die miserably.
Tofu said: "Aren't you curious about what is buried in the snow?"
Lu Su still smiled and said, "There are too many things worth curious about. I only focus on what is related to me. If my heart is scattered, it will be chaotic..." He looked at me and said, "Listen to my advice, Brother Chen, everything cannot be clear. Do you know what the best way to do when a ship falls into a whirlpool? It is not to run out along those messy spirals, but to accelerate towards a central point, and the ship will be pushed out by reaction forces."
Lu Su's voice was calm and gentle. In the cold snow-capped mountains, my anxious heart suddenly calmed down. Tofu said: "What you said makes sense. Sometimes, one thing is too complicated and one after another, it will be like getting into a mess. The fastest way is to identify the center point and ignore the rest of the lines. Lao Chen, what is your center point?"
I was silent for a while and said, "Curse."
Tofu slammed his high fives and said, "All right, it's a curse. If we find Old Man Zhao, we can find the map of the tomb of the Giant Ear King. Bai Laosi can find a way to transfer the curse from it, and we won't lose to him. As for the blood on the mute pants, whether it's killed something or hemorrhoids and constipation, we don't think about it. I think the center point of our three is the same now, that is to sleep."
Lu Su laughed, nodded in agreement, and retracted into his sleeping bag.
