I nodded, then got out of the car with Huzi, turned back to the yard, and prepared to say goodbye to the little mute family and leave.
When the little mute's father heard that we were leaving, he didn't stop us. He limped back to the house and came out a moment later with a chicken feather.
This is a brightly colored golden chicken feather. From the looks of it, I guess it was pulled from the Angry Eyed Chicken.
"I know you are all capable people, so I won't advise you, but things are not peaceful here recently. These are the feathers shed by the phoenix. If you carry them with you, ordinary poisonous insects will hide away when they smell the scent.
Far away." said the little mute's father.
I didn't excuse myself. I said thank you and took the chicken feathers, then turned around and handed it into Hu Qiu's hands. I took the old lady's instructions to heart and must protect Hu Qiu.
Before leaving, I suddenly thought of something, so I turned around again and asked, "Uncle, I want to ask you something."
"you say."
"I heard that there are people of Fengniao bloodline in your village. Is this true?"
As soon as these words came out, the little mute's father's expression suddenly changed and he looked at me in surprise.
"Who did you listen to?" His voice suddenly became serious.
"I also heard it from an old man. Is there such a thing?" I asked,
The little mute's father quickly shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't heard of it."
At this point, he suddenly coughed violently.
My eyelids suddenly narrowed slightly and I saw his eyes dodge and wander, which meant he was lying!
There must be something fishy here, but I didn't continue to ask. After saying thank you, I turned around and walked outside.
As soon as the car started, the little mute suddenly chased us out of the yard. He was wrapped in a worn canvas, and he was holding his butcher knife in his hand, and he was gesticulating at us.
I didn't understand what he meant, so I could only look to Hu Qiu for help.
"Jiuyang, he said he wanted to go into the mountains with us, and he could show us the way. He said it was to thank us for our help before," Hu Qiu said.
This was originally a good thing, but I don't know why, but I always felt that something was inappropriate, because I found that there was a momentary twinkle in the little mute's eyes.
This suddenly made me wary. Just when I was about to say no, Hu Qiu had already opened the car door, and the little mute got in the car without saying a word.
I could only swallow the words that came to my mouth.
I looked at the fat man and gave him a look, indicating that the fat man was secretly keeping an eye on me.
The fat man knew it well and nodded immediately.
The car moved forward all the way, relying on the excellent performance of the off-road vehicle. Although the road conditions were not good, it still moved forward for nearly ten miles, and finally the dense woods appeared in front of it.
Looking at the endless jungle in front of me and the majestic undulating mountains in the distance, I suddenly felt a sense of mystery. I wonder what kind of secrets are buried in this huge primitive jungle.
This is the first time I have seen such a complete primitive ecology. The most intuitive thing is that the trees here are extremely huge. There are many big trees as thick as a human waist, such as coniferous pines, broad-leaved sand trees... and many others called
Tree species whose names are unknown are often tens of meters high, with no end in sight.
Although it is early spring, the jungle is still green and lush, giving people the illusion of midsummer. It would be hard to imagine it if there wasn't still snow on the ground that has not completely melted.
We were walking along the tracks of the little devils, and soon we found their car parked not far away.
After some investigation, it was found that there was no one in the car. Apparently they got out of the car and walked because they were no longer suitable to continue driving.
Huzi found a secret place, and our car also stopped, preparing to get out of the car and walk.
Taking advantage of Hu Zi's preparations, I walked around the area and found that the temperature in the forest was actually higher than outside, and it was not particularly cold.
He tried to find traces of Mrs. Chen by sensing the poisonous insects, but ultimately failed.
It seems that Mrs. Chen and the others are not within my sensing range.
Seeing that there was no one around, I summoned Lice Gu and sent it out. On the one hand, I wanted to observe the surrounding environment. On the other hand, I also wanted to know how close the sensory vision sharing distance between me and Lice Gu was.
Far.
After some experiments, I found that this distance is not too far. In terms of radius, it is only about three hundred meters. After this distance, the images transmitted back by the louse become a little blurry.
The distance is not far, but it is very satisfying for me. The effective shooting distance of an ordinary pistol is only about a hundred meters, which is my killing distance. It has exceeded the bullets and can hit wherever I point.
.
After measuring the distance, I let the louse fly in a circle and explore the surrounding area.
At this time, Huzi and Fatty came together.
The fat man saw my worried look, so he asked me if I was worried about Mrs. Chen's safety?
I nodded and did not deny it. After all, Mrs. Chen is also my grandmother.
The fat man said: "Yangzi, I think we should go find your grandmother first, and then get the paulownia wood."
I glanced at Fatty, and I actually had this plan in mind, but I couldn't say it.
"But what should Wang Shengli and Li Tenglong do?"
The fat man said, "It's nothing. Both of them can wait. The accident at Wang Shengli's factory didn't happen in a day or two, and there's no rush for it. As for Li Yilong, it's even better. Anyway, he's awake now and needs to recover.
Normally it's just a matter of time, but the old lady's safety is imminent and something could happen at any time."
Fatty's analysis made sense, but I shook my head gently.
"Am I right?" the fat man asked in surprise.
"You are right, but what I am worried about is the stone lion. Its body keeps growing. Once it recovers, it will not take long for the soul to return to its original position. By then, Li Yilong's soul will be swallowed up by it or even fused.
At that time, it will be really impossible to save Li Yilong. Everyone’s life is at stake. I am really in trouble?” I frowned and expressed my worries.
But in my mind, I couldn't help but recall the scene when I first met Li Tenglong. It can be said that all the hopes of this family are pinned on me, and I can't let others fall into despair again.
"Master, I don't think it should be so fast. It will take less than ten days before we leave Jiangcheng. The stone lion has fought with Zhao Jiuzhou before. No matter how powerful it is, it should be consumed a little. In such a short time, no matter how hard it is, it will take a while."
Maybe it will return to normal." Huzi said.
Huzi's words reminded me of this. How could I have forgotten this?
Zhao Jiuzhou did take action against Lion Soul. Although I didn't see the specific situation, based on Zhao Jiuzhou's methods, I think what Hu Zi said is quite reasonable.
I nodded and was about to speak, when someone appeared in the picture transmitted by the louse in my mind.
I quickly made a silencing gesture to the two of them.
"There's a situation!"
Huzi and Fatty quickly quieted down.
After a moment, my expression suddenly changed, and a look of shock appeared on my face.
