(Something delayed me today, so I will put the two chapters together)
——
Wu Xiaoxie's mind raced very quickly and he immediately reacted, "Ah? He, he just stayed in the hospital some time ago. His health and bones are not very good. He got heatstroke after walking around for a while. He is still lying on the bed right now.
Here, you see, I have two patients to take care of, and I can’t leave, so I’m sorry to bother you.”
On the bamboo floor, Zhang Zhuxun clung to the crack of the door, watching the clouds walk out of the courtyard, then turned to look at his little brother with a suppressed smile.
The little brother's face was paralyzed, and there was no expression.
Wu Xiaoxie squatted next to the wooden door of the outer courtyard, stuck his head out, and saw that the clouds had indeed moved away along the bluestone path. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and waved to the two people upstairs, signaling them to hurry up and come down.
The little brother looked at the "iron gourd" in his hand and was about to put it back.
Zhang Zhuxun said: "Take it, the slumped shoulders probably won't come back."
The little brother nodded, put the things in his pocket, and restored the secret compartment under the wooden table.
The two squeezed out through the crack in the door, closed the door, and returned to the bamboo house where they lived.
After Zhang Zhuxun finished the finishing work, he heard noisy sounds coming from the yard.
Agui, the doctor, and the two sisters Yuncai are all back.
Wu Xiaoxie helped the fat man who was pretending to call upstairs, and saw the little brother lying on the bed with a wet towel on his head and his eyes closed tightly.
He glanced at Zhang Zhuxun, who was sitting by the bed, and led the doctor to the bedside to treat them.
"Who is this?" Agui looked at Zhang Zhuxun who suddenly appeared, with a somewhat surprised expression.
Wu Xiaoxie explained it again with the same excuse.
Agui said hello cheerfully and took his two daughters down to cook.
After the doctor finished the examination, he gave the fat man a bowl of green, sticky ointment and smeared it on his face. He said that this was particularly effective. He also took a pulse and found no problem. He just told him to take more blood-replenishing medicine.
Stuff.
Wu Xiaoxie sent the person out with a smile and returned. When he saw the fat man's green face, he couldn't hold back his laughter.
"What a joke." The fat man cursed in a low voice, then turned to look at the little brother who opened his eyes and sat up, "Brother, did you and Muyu find anything upstairs?"
The little brother took out the iron lump from his arms and showed it to the fat man and the two.
The fat man hissed, "Exactly the same, what on earth is this thing?"
The little brother shook his head, his memory still has not recovered.
Zhang Zhuxun took out his camera and said, "I didn't find any useful clues. All I recorded was some engineering stuff, which was very messy."
"Doing engineering?" Wu Xiaoxie glanced at it. He didn't recognize the words at all. "Could it be related to Chen Wenjin's expedition team back then?"
"I don't know. We have too few clues. Anyway, we are already here. Let's take a step at a time." Zhang Zhuxun said calmly.
"Oh, by the way." Wu Xiaoxie suddenly remembered something, looked at Zhang Zhuoxun, and said, "Didn't Baldy Chu say that there are photos in the stilt building? Have you seen it?"
Zhang Zhuoxun nodded, took out a stack of stiff photos from his arms, and carefully spread them out one by one on the bed.
These photos are very blurry, and the edges of the pages are yellowed. I don’t know whether it is affected by moisture or something. Some of the patterns on them are blurred and cannot be seen clearly at all.
But there are also unexpected surprises.
Two of the photos are like follow-ups to the photo of Chu Guangtou. One is a shot of the back of the black figure with slumped shoulders, and the other is a side view.
On the picture on the back, they could be sure that the person on it was the guy they had fought with.
But in the profile photo, the face with slumped shoulders is blurred into a ball, as if someone deliberately processed his face when developing the photo.
As he looked at it, Wu Xiaoxie suddenly screamed and pointed at a photo, his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out.
The fat man came over to take a look and let out a strange cry. His eyes flickered back and forth between the photo and Wu Xiaoxie's face. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Mom, why does this guy look the same as you!" p>
Suddenly something occurred to me, "Damn it, no way, is it in that videotape?
Is that the person in the photo crawling around on the ground?"
Wu Xiaoxie's face turned pale and her mind went blank.
"Look again and see if there are any others." The fat man muttered, flipping through and picking aside all the photos that could be clearly seen.
"Only this one." Zhang Zhu asked.
The remaining photos are all of Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling. The background looks like they are in a mountain forest. There is also a single photo of Chen Wenjin with a large lake behind him. A part of a wooden box can be seen on the edge of the photo.
Wu Xiaoxie came back to his senses and stared at the photo with a frown, "Why does this person look the same as me?"
In fact, Zhang Zhuxun hesitated when he first saw this photo, but in the end he did not hide it.
Chen Wenjin did not explain at the beginning that in another videotape, there was a person crawling around like a beast on the floor of the Golmud basement.
That videotape was sent by "it" to my little brother. It seemed to be simply to test how much he remembered about what happened back then.
There are so many people with Wu Xie's face that "it" sometimes can't tell which one is the real Wu Xie, but Wu Xie from Wu Shanju is the one who looks most like Wu Xie.
"It" can't find Qi Yu, it can only find Wu Xie, who is most like Qi Yu.
Thus, by observing Wu Xie, we can analyze the reactions of others.
The reason why Zhang Zhuxun did not hide the photos was because he wanted to give Wu Xiaoxie a shot of prevention in advance. Peeling off cocoons is what Wu Xiaoxie is best at. As long as he plants the seeds of doubt in his heart and goes through the hidden sea flower again, Wu Xiaoxie will
Xiaoxie will grow rapidly.
Ten years is too long.
Wu Xiaoxie's expression was a little confused, "Regardless of who he is, according to the clues I investigated, there is no such person in Chen Wenjin's archaeological team, and when I saw her in the shaft, she didn't
There was a surprised reaction on my face, so this photo probably has nothing to do with the expedition team."
"Then why did I put it in this pile of photos?" Fatty asked in confusion.
The little brother frowned, obviously confused.
Zhang Shuxun said: "It's possible that I investigated something myself. This person may really have some connection with the expedition team, so I put it together."
Wu Xiaoxie rubbed his brows with a headache, "Let's forget about it for now. We are mainly here to investigate brother's affairs this time. Agui said he would help us find a guide. We have to go and stay with the people from that expedition team.
If you look around, you might be able to find more clues."
"Okay." Zhang Zhuoxun nodded, put the photo into a ziplock bag and put it away.
A unique sound came from the wooden stairs outside. The fat man quickly urged the little brother to lie down, and he slept on the side.
Soon, there was a knock on the door, and the crisp sound of clouds passed through the door panel and reached the ears of several people.
"Brother Fatty? Is your face feeling better? How about I bring you food upstairs."
Several people looked at the fat man in unison.
The fat man had a painful expression on his green face, and he replied helplessly, "It's okay, it's okay, don't bother Sister Yuncai, we'll go down later."
After sending the clouds away, the fat man wailed silently, "It's over. Fatty's reputation has been ruined today..."
Wu Xiaoxie said disdainfully: "You should save it now. You are already a grown man. Stop dreaming about sex. Yuncai is still underage. At your age, you can become sworn sworn friends with Agui. It's so embarrassing to kiss my daughter." p>
The fat man was unhappy, "What do you mean by my age? Fat man is in his golden age. He is as handsome as Pan An. He and sister Yuncai are a match made in heaven."
Wu Xiaoxie sighed, "It's shameless to paint an old cucumber green."
Zhang Zhuxun watched the two bickering, touched his chin, thought for a while, and asked: "Fat man, do you really like me?"
When the fat man heard this, he immediately became vigilant, "What? Are you thinking about Sister Yuncai too? Let me tell you, I can help you with everything else, but not this matter."
Wu Xiaoxie sneered, "Look at the fat on your belly, and look at that wooden fish. If I were a cloud, I wouldn't take it seriously
Take care of you."
"Holy shit!" The fat man almost jumped up. "Fat man is so protective. What's wrong with him? Maybe my sister Yuncai likes me for being honest and safe."
Zhang Zhu listened as the two of them talked further and further, almost getting into the relationship between gravity and fat growth, so he hurriedly raised his hand and paused.
"Okay, just relax. I'm a flower in Hangzhou. I won't look down on anyone uglier than me. If you really like clouds, we can be your advisers and help you make suggestions.
”
"Sister Yuncai is the most beautiful in my heart." The fat man snorted, glanced at Zhang Zhuxun's face, and his expression twisted for a moment, "Mom, what are you talking about, kid, why does a grown man look so good-looking? Just say
Really, if you can help me catch up with someone, you can choose whatever items Fatty has in Liulichang’s shop.”
Zhang Zhuoxun chuckled and said, "Okay, once you make a promise, it's hard to follow up, so don't default on your debt when the time comes."
The fat man raised his eyebrows and said, "Fat Master, when have I ever spoken without counting?"
When the four of them went downstairs to eat, Agui said that they had made an agreement with the guide from back then, and they could go to the old hunter's house to find him tomorrow morning.
"But that old man has a weird temper. When the time comes, tell him that you are from the government. He will be more proactive, but you have to be careful and don't reveal your secrets." Agui warned.
After returning to the house, several people discussed it. Since the fat man's face was full of flesh and blood, he really didn't look like an official, so the fat man volunteered to go to the fertilizer factory to ask for sulfuric acid, melt the stuff, and see what was inside.
Wu Xiaoxie warned him: "That thing is still a bit dangerous, don't act rashly, wait until we come back."
"I know, I know, I'm not a three-year-old child." The fat man agreed.
After the discussion, several people took a break.
Afraid of something happening at night, Zhang Zhu found a room with Wu Xiaoxie, and the younger brother stayed with Fatty.
The next day, Fatty happily followed Yuncai to find the fertilizer factory.
Zhang Zhuoxun and the other two went with Agui to find the old hunter, Daddy Panma.
But when I went there, I learned from Father Panma’s son that the old man went into the mountains last night.
"I guess I'll be back before noon today. How about some bosses waiting?" The old man's son was a little embarrassed.
He didn't know why his father, who had promised well before, suddenly went up the mountain at night without saying hello. He had been like this since two years ago. He was really confused.
The three old shotguns hanging on the wall of the main room are all there. Obviously, Father Panma did not go into the mountains for hunting at this time.
Wu Xiaoxie suppressed the doubts in his heart, winked at Zhang Zhuxun and the other two, and then smiled and said to the old man's son that it's okay, they can just wait.
The three of them had just sat down after entering. Before they had time to drink tea, they saw a man burst into the yard and shouted, "Is Father Panma here?"
The person who came was a middle-aged man with short stature, who spoke with a Beijing accent, and his tone of voice when talking to Panma's father's son was a bit bossy and harsh, which was harsh to the ears.
Wu Xiaoxie asked Agui in a low voice who this person was, and saw that the old man's son seemed very familiar with him.
Agui whispered: "This is Panma's distant nephew. I heard he is a rich man."
The wealthy man walked into the house while talking to the old man's son. When he turned around, he saw three strangers in the house, "Hey, are we having guests?"
"Ah, yes, they are also here to find my father. These three are all from the government..."
The rich man's nephew didn't have the slightest interest in who they were, so he pushed his butt on the chair and started talking.
Wu Xiaoxie and the others listened quietly for a long time, and realized that this guy wanted to buy something from Panma Dad, but Panma Dad refused to sell it.
"Brother, your father is confused. You can't let his temper run wild. I finally invited that big customer. That thing is a dead thing anyway. You can't take it with you alive or dead.
Why keep holding on for so long? You can’t take it to the coffin."
The big man took out the flip lighter from his pocket and clicked it
A cigarette, "Now that my boss is interested in that thing, you should quickly sell it for a good price. Then use the money to send your son to a prestigious school, so that he will have a bright future." p>
The old man's son looked embarrassed and said with a grimace: "It's not that I don't want to, it's because my old man is a thief. Seeing how crazy he was, one time I got so angry that I said I would throw that thing into the mountains to prevent him from thinking about it anymore.
Who would have expected that he would go up the mountain and hide the thing that night. I quietly followed him several times, but he got rid of it."
The wealthy man was impatient to hear this, so he stood up and left, "You have guests here, so I won't stay any longer. Anyway, please be attentive. It's done. I'll take you and your eldest nephew to see the scenery in Beijing."
Let's go, see you later."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
The old man's son turned around and smiled awkwardly at them, "I made them laugh."
Zhang Zhu and others didn't say anything. After all, it's not easy for outsiders to judge other people's housework.
While they were sitting and waiting, the old man's son told them a lot about Panma's great achievements back then.
Until noon, Dad Panma still hadn’t come back.
His son was also a little impatient. He told Zhang Zhu and others that he would look for them, took a shotgun hanging on the wall and went out.
Zhang Zhu and others had no choice but to continue waiting at his house, but it was not until dark in the afternoon that the father and son did not come back.
Agui felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was the one who introduced Panma. It was outrageous to leave the guests waiting in an empty room. He scolded the two people and said to Zhang Zhu and others, "What else?
Boss, let’s go back first and let this guy from the Panma family come to you tomorrow.”
Zhang Zhuoxun thought that the time was almost up, so he stood up and asked Wu Xiaoxie and the others to go out.
