Chapter 220 Hot spring floating corpses, forty-six pools
Although they are not friends, it is considered normal for the two girls to whisper while walking.
Che Zaili felt that his sister was good at martial arts, so she would definitely not suffer. Jian Yu also felt that Bai Yue was a kind of person. Unless there was a fight, it would be even less likely to suffer. So when the parents on both sides were relieved, no one bothered them.
chat.
Bai Yue said: "Then did you go back and see it again?"
"I have gone back." Che Linna said: "Not only have I gone back, I have gone back several times. Every time I hid behind a stone and waited from dawn to dusk, but I never saw the man in white again."
Bai Yue was curious: "Then why do you think it's not a dream?"
"I think about it every day, and I dream about it at night." Che Linna said seriously: "But the things I saw are all things I have never thought of. How could it be a dream?"
"Could it be that I read some picture books or listened to some stories?"
"Impossible." Che Linna shook her head vigorously: "I haven't liked reading since I was a child, and I don't like listening to stories. Heifeng Village is a bandit den and not a school. We only learn martial arts and don't read."
It turned out to be very reasonable, and Bai Yue couldn't refute it.
Bai Yue thought for a moment: "Are there any legends in our mountains?"
Legends are people's imagination, but imagination does not come out of thin air. It is often due to phenomena that ancient people cannot explain.
Che Linna also thought for a while: "If you want to talk about legends, it is this hot spring. I have heard from the old people here since I was a child that there were no hot springs here long, long ago, even in the Zhou Dynasty."
Bai Yue wanted to laugh when he heard Che Linna imitate the old man's manner in speaking, but he still cheered and said, "What next?"
"Then one day, the fire dragon hiding deep in the ground woke up and turned over. A big crack opened in the ground, and the fire dragon spewed out a fierce fire that burned for thirty-three years. Hundreds of miles around were burned by the fire, and the smoke was thick.
It is shrouded and no grass can grow.”
Bai Yue listened very carefully, as if it was really happening.
Earthquakes were common in ancient China and were considered to be the resurrection of an earth dragon. However, because most of the volcanoes erupted in remote locations, there are very few records and ordinary people are naturally unaware of them.
The listeners were serious and the speakers were enthusiastic. Che Linna said with joy: "Later, many, many years passed, and flowers and trees finally grew on the mountain, but the water in the lake was heated up, and the temperature was thousands of miles away.
It's been a hundred years and it still can't come down."
After saying that, Che Linna looked at Bai Yue's expression carefully and found it very puzzling.
After puzzling for a long time, Che Linna struggled: "Do you believe it or not?"
"I believe it."
"Really believe it?"
"real."
Although Jian Yu could not squeeze in between the two girls, he would not be too far away from Bai Yue. He was walking side by side with Mi Zihan. The two of them could hear their voices. They looked at each other and understood each other.
The words in the eyes.
I believed your evil deeds.
The group of people walked until dawn and then stopped in front of a pool.
Che Zaili stood on the big rock beside the pool and looked in, his expression heavy.
Jian Yu stood beside him: "Here?"
Che Zaili nodded: "There are a total of forty-six pools in Panshan Longtan. These forty-six places are all connected, but there is only one place leading to the source. The hot spring floating corpse comes from the end of the water source."
Jian Yu sighed: "It's not easy to find the source from the forty-six pools."
Che Zaili said: "Don't worry, Boss Long, the people I brought this time are all good divers."
The two of them were almost moved by each other's words.
Bai Yue suddenly raised his hand.
Everyone looked at her with strange expressions. Only Jian Yu understood: "What do you want to say?"
Bai Yue said: "I suggest that if you want to find the source entrance, start looking from the place where Miss Che saw the ghost."
Che Linna's expression froze.
Cha Zaili quickly remembered: "You said that time when she was a child."
"Yes." Bai Yue said: "If it is too time-consuming and laborious to order these forty-six water pools in order, it would be better to search from the most likely places, just in case... wouldn't this save trouble?"
If it were just Jian Yu, Bai Yue might say more. But with Che Zai Li, Bai Yue was not willing to say too much.
But Che Zaili said: "On the contrary, among the forty-six pools, there is only one that we definitely don't need to look for. Because after Lina's accident, we dived into that pool more than ten times and touched it.
I've passed every stone there and found nothing."
No one else thought anything, but Che Linna was stunned: "Brother, are you serious?"
Cha Zaili said: "Of course it's true, why did I lie to you?"
Che Linna stammered: "But, don't you all believe me and say I am having a nightmare?"
"Silly girl." Cha Zaili stroked his sister's hair: "You were so young back then. If we didn't say you were having a nightmare, would we tell you you saw a ghost?"
Regardless of whether he was robbing the family or not, Cha Jae-rye must be a good brother. Cha Linna was so moved by her brother that she hugged his brother's arms and burst into tears.
The brother and sister took advantage of every opportunity to communicate with each other, but Bai Yue was not interested and stood by the pool in deep thought.
"What are you thinking about?" Jian Yu walked over.
"I always feel that it's not easy to find them one by one." Bai Yue said, "There should be other ways."
"Tell me about it."
Bai Yue frowned and thought for a moment: "There are too few known clues, and I don't have any ideas at the moment. But you must have a plan."
Searching the bottom of each of the forty-six water pools is a big project. Just these few people will definitely not be able to find it in two or three days. But they only brought three days of rations, so they would not go back every three days to replenish them.
Just provide supplies. There is absolutely no need for that.
"I can't hide anything from you, indeed." Jian Yu said with a smile: "We don't plan to search for the forty-six pools one by one. I checked the previous files. The floating corpses found that year, the hollowed-out internal organs
, there is a fragment of a red leaf.”
The growth of plants is often seasonal and regional. A distinctive leaf or a special flower can bring a clear direction.
"Although Panshan has many mountains, only a few peaks in the west have red-leaf trees like this. When the wind blows, the red leaves will float all over the valley."
Jian Yu said, "So we believe that the floating corpse came from the west. The west is the road we are walking on now. There are only eleven pools in total, so we brought dry food for three days. Even if we are unlucky enough, it is enough."
"
Jian Yu's reason was very good, but Bai Yue thought about it and said, "What you said makes sense, but I still think there are two places to take a look."
Jian Yu understood what Bai Yue meant: "You still want to see the place where Che Linna hit the ghost."
