160、【31】(1/2)
Next, the charlatan was completely trapped by the question of "Where is Peng Yi going?"
During the second half of the journey, he spoke astonishing words twice and made bold assumptions.
The first time, he said, "Will Peng Yi get into the water essence?"
The reason is: if you burn yourself to ashes, you will not be afraid of being exposed, but your soul is still there, and you can enter the water essence. Once Peng enters the water essence, he lurks deep.
Jiang Lian's answer was: "The soul enters the water spirit, and his soul must also explain why he should suddenly die, right? If you say that you like cremation, you can entrust others to burn yourself after death, which will cause suspicion."
Moreover, this assumption still fails to solve the problem of the box - the box is a tooth fault. As the key to open the ileum of the Nine-Curves, the box is so eye-catching. How did Kuang Zu take away the box, but the people inside didn't notice it?
The second time, the charlatan asked: "Will he... betrayal?"
Jiang Lian sighed: "At that time, is there any meaning for his rebellion?"
Yes, Chi Youfang is going to be dormant. At this time, it is purely boring to accept a traitor. If he doesn't kill him, he will keep it as a friend? Moreover, if he betrays, Kuang Zu would not have the chance to dig the secret passage.
It really makes people bald, the charlatan yells, and his head tilts, and he falls asleep.
Jiang Lian continued to drive, taking out his phone from time to time to see the signal.
He felt that he had to say hello to Meng Qianzi. This trip would take four or five days to lose contact. If she didn't have a single explanation, she would be anxious.
Also, Meiying has to say something, otherwise when she wakes up, she will be gone and the box will be gone, and she will probably be suspicious.
After walking for a while, there was probably a base station nearby, and the signal was recovered by three-quarters. Jiang Lian hesitated for a while and stopped the car: Although it was a bit early and it was not dawn, he was afraid that there would be no store after this village.
After getting off the car, he dialed the phone.
It was opened soon. Sure enough, the voice on the other end was vague, and it also brought a little sadness and resentment of Qingmeng being disturbed: "Hey?"
Jiang Lianxiao could almost make up for her annoyed look of sleepy eyes and huddling in the quilt: "I."
It can be heard that Meng Qianzi became more awake: "Call so early?"
"I miss you."
Meng Qianzi laughed out loud and said, "I'm talking nonsense again."
Jiang Lian deliberately said it relaxed: "You are leaving, I'm quite bored to stay. Meiying is guarding the box every day. I'm going to drive around in the past two days to see the scenery... Have you arrived in Xining? I'll go find you in a few days."
"No, I've only been halfway yesterday. The eldest son was old and tired, so we found a place to live. However, the charlatan's friends didn't stop and went all the way to Xining. I guess they should recover when you come over."
Speaking of this, he complained to Jiang Lian again: "I only realized on the way that this trip was quite troublesome. Grandma Duan's funeral was going to be held. There were also many funerals for those mountain dating people... I suspect that the preparation time would take more than half a month. If I had known it, I would have been with you for two more days. I would have urged me to set off so early and when I arrived in Xining, I was actually waiting."
Of course, there are important matters such as trivial matters such as mountain dogs, setting venues, days and postings. In terms of closeness and alienation, Gao Jinghong should also make a decision. She stood by her side, which was a foil.
Jiang Lian comforted her: "As for funeral, your eldest daughter must be very uncomfortable, so you can stay with her more."
Meng Qianzi tsk twice: "Don't you dislike my eldest daughter? Why do you suddenly care about her again?"
Jiang Lian passed by perfunctorily: "Then... the elders are always the elders."
Before hanging up the line, he revealed "inadvertently" that the signal may be bad when driving out for a while. If you can't get in touch for a while, don't be too anxious.
Meng Qianzi snorted and said, "Who will be anxious about you?"
***
After hanging up the phone, Meng Qianzi turned off the bedside lamp, turned over, and prepared to go back to the cage, but it was strange that he tossed and turned, but he was not sleepy.
After a while, she pressed the light again, sat up after rubbing it for a while, then put on her clothes and got out of bed, opened the door and came out.
This is an old hotel with a bit old decoration, but in this kind of place, it is already considered a luxury accommodation.
Meng Qianzi pressed the doorbell diagonally and pressed it on his hand without any worries.
Soon, the sound of footsteps of the tap came from the room. The sound came to the back of the door. It was probably because she could see her clearly from the cat's eyes. The door opened quickly, and the whole person immediately respectfully said: "Qianzi."
This is Meng Jinsong.
Meng Qianzi nodded and walked in.
Meng Jinsong hurriedly stepped aside.
Seeing his almost conditioned reflexive action, Meng Qianzi suddenly felt a little regretful.
Last time, she might not have had a lot of anger with Meng Jinsong. During this period, Meng Jinsong made a lot of promises, as if his raised waist and shoulders suddenly collapsed. Before that, Meng Jinsong would give her advice, criticize her, and make fun of Xinci. After that, there was no more, and even subconsciously avoid her. When she saw her, she was so polite that she was almost treacherous.
When she lost her temper, she didn't expect this to happen.
Meng Qianzi cleared her throat: "You can contact someone at the other end of the camp, right?"
Meng Jinsong nodded quickly: "Yes, we still have someone there to deal with the aftermath."
"Dial phone number, I have something to ask."
The camp signal was not very stable, Meng Jinsong called with a satellite phone. The person who answered the phone was not awake yet, muttering in his mouth. Suddenly, he heard Meng Jinsong's voice, and he was mostly sleepy. When he heard Meng Qianzi also, he immediately became energetic.
On this day and night, the only thing worth reporting in the camp was the matter between the charlatan and Jiang Lian. The man stumbled and said the matter, and then answered the questions stutteredly.
"Yes, the seventh aunt told me that Mr. Shen had something to do, so I tried my best to cooperate. Later, Mr. Shen wanted to use a car in the middle of the night and said that we would prepare yaks for him at the mouth of the ditch. Of course, we... were in cooperation."
"Yes, Brother Lian doesn't seem to know about this, so he changed his clothes with the driver and drove away - we thought, Brother Lian and Mr. Shen are friends, and they disguised themselves as they were in the car, maybe to give Mr. Shen a surprise. It's normal for them to do things together, so they didn't take it seriously."
"The things I brought... Oh, the driver said, helping Mr. Shen carry a box, it's quite heavy. The others are our commonly used equipment, which are provided in the car, which is enough, mountain ghost baskets, flamethrowers, and guns should also be available."
"Yes, just go to the mouth of the ditch called 'Caidan'."
...
After hanging up the phone, Meng Qianzi looked at the time.
It was only 7 o'clock, and it was late in the Tibetan area. At this moment, it was still dark outside.
Just say that Jiang Lian has never been a very tired person. He called before dawn and said something like "I miss you", which is obvious that he wants to cover up.
The charlatan came back to his senses and counted one by one: "I have brought the mountain gall, and the water essence is in the drifting cave. After the mountain gall destroyed the water essence, there should be no water essence, which is similar to burning it; Xiling is also drifting the cave; and that's right..."
Even though there was no one around, he lowered his voice: "Miss Meng's golden bell, I can't go and ask for it."
Jiang Lian continued: "If you want her, you won't give her, you can be anxious."
The charlatan looked down at his stomach: "So, such a small thing, I think it's okay. Anyway, golden bell is not the key. If it's less so, it won't be fatal. At most, my wound cannot heal 100%. As long as it doesn't rot anymore and heal by 90%, I will be satisfied."
***
As they entered the mountain, the two of them also suffered. Jiang Lian never expected that the number one enemy on the road to burn the box was actually a yak.
He can't drive yaks, and the charlatan is a half-baked person. If the yak is happy, go forward. If you don't, go forward. If you let it go left, it goes right. It took two people a lot of effort to break its stubborn horns in the opposite direction.
The charlatan panted: "How could this happen? The last time I came, Niu Mingming was easy to catch up."
Jiang Lian was also sweating profusely and sneered: "Last time, the mountain ghost was responsible for everything, you just followed him, of course you had hot soup and rice to sleep peacefully. This time, who gave you the courage to leave alone? Without me, I'm afraid that you would be flattened by the yak after you took a few steps."
...
On that day, the two camped for a rest in the afternoon. Because they needed to stay in the wild, Jiang Lian didn't dare to let the charlatan guard him, but after driving for a night, he drove for a night and then took the turn for the night. Iron Man couldn't bear it. He could only adjust his work and rest and seize the time during the day to make up for his sleep.
In this way, the speed of traveling is greatly reduced.
The next day, Jiang Lian got into the tent in the afternoon as usual. He was injured and spent his energy every day. The time for sleeping was much less than that for night time. Therefore, he slept very heavily with his eyes closed.
When I woke up, it was already dark.
When Jiang Lian opened his eyes, he remembered Meng Qianzi and felt that his so-called "bad signal" nonsense would probably not last long: Qianzi is not stupid, and the signal is always bad during the day and night, no one will believe it.
He sighed, owed himself to zip the tent door.
The zipper was unlocked from top to bottom, and the cloth on the edge gradually collapsed to both sides. Just as it was pulled a small part, Jiang Lian was caught off guard, and with a "ah", he was so scared that he fell back.
Meng Qianzi was actually sitting at the main entrance of his tent, and his attitude of raising troops to question the crime was chasing the three trials.
No, maybe it was a dream, I just woke up, and my mind was a little confused...
Jiang Lian carefully approached the gap again.
Just as he approached, he was frightened again: Meng Qianzi rubbed the ground and came up, his two black eyes were stuck in the gap, paused, his eyebrows were hanging up, and his eyes were full of arrogance.
She said, "What are you afraid of? What are you hiding? Can you hide?"
He said and snorted, and then disappeared.
The lie was exposed, and Jiang Lian sat in awkwardly for a while, feeling that he still had to face it bravely, so he opened the curtain door and came out.
It was already dark. He saw a few more yaks and a few more large tents not far away. There were sentries set up at high places. Someone was watching the wind, and the blazing bonfire was ignited, making crackling sounds.
This is going to cook.
***
Meng Qianzi was very upset, unhappy, all in her style and high jaw, leaning on a special stick, like a leader in the country, she would rather go to inspect the half-boiled soup pot than look at Jiang Lian seriously, let alone take care of his words.
Jiang Lian made up his mind that as long as she looked at him, he would laugh. Anyway, her little anger was all about her posture and she couldn't last long.
Sure enough, the atmosphere became loose during the meal, and Jiang Lian and Shenbang were invited to eat with Meng Qianzi.
Meng Qianzi was having a meal in her tent. When she saw the two of them coming, she didn't raise her head and chewed slowly, with two unmoving soup rice beside her.
Jiang Lian sat down with the charlatan, picked up the soup bowl, and criticized the charlatan first: "I knew there would be so many people in the end, so why did you think you would have made so many tricks? I even had to pull the yak that I had been dragging for two days."
Meng Qianzi held back her laughter and snorted coldly: "I deserve it."
But no, Jiang Lian continued to criticize the charlatan: "Did you hear that you deserve it?"
To be continued...
