Chapter 96 Dirt in the woods
I know that these people are definitely not right. The two fully armed people just now are the best examples, but I just can't tell what's wrong with them.
Later I couldn't help but ask Senior Brother Feng: "Senior Brother, what's wrong with these people?"
Senior Brother Feng pointed at those people and asked me: "Count how many people are here."
I didn't really count, but just said an estimated number: "About one hundred, maybe."
Senior Brother Feng said to me again: "Look at their age again."
We were far away, and it was hard to see a person's appearance clearly at this distance, but I recalled their appearance, looked at their figures and walking postures from afar, and then said to Senior Brother Feng: "About 20s or 30s?"
Senior Brother Feng shook his head: "Whether the age of twenty-five to thirty, everyone is in this age group. Generally speaking, the workers involved in this large-scale project are pieced together by several construction teams. Generally speaking, many of the more than 100 people have a big age group. There is a large construction site, more than 100 workers, and all of them are in a very narrow age group. This is very telling. Unless the soldiers of the Construction Corps are constructing here, this situation cannot happen. But Erlong Bay is a very special place. This place must be registered in your senior brother Zhuang's unit. If the troops are constructing here, the local area will definitely notify you of Senior Brother Zhuang, but he does not know about the construction here. This means that these more than 100 people are not soldiers. If I guess correctly, these people should come from a relatively large mercenary corps. If you have the opportunity to get close to those workers, you will definitely find that many of them are foreigners."
Senior Brother Feng's words were very long, and I couldn't help but be shocked when I listened to his words. I remember that when we first came here, Senior Brother Feng just glanced at the construction site and told me that the master was not right here. I knew he was an old detective and had better observation skills than ordinary people, but I didn't expect that he thought of so many things in his mind just when he glanced at the moment.
After a while, Senior Brother Feng said to me again: "The three-member disciples of our Jihun Village work together like this no matter what they do. The Tun Meng lineage is responsible for controlling the overall situation, while the people from the Yuxian lineage play a role in investigations, Feng Shui and other matters. But no matter what, the one who can solve the matter in the end is still the one who keeps the righteous lineage. But Master Xia has calculated it before. For you, the person who will detect the enemy situation for you in the future and observe Feng Shui is not me, but Liu Shangang and Li Renfeng. Fortunately, it is not me. I am too busy at work now, and I want to help you many things, but I am powerless."
I still remember Li Renfeng. He was in the Ghost Town Hall in Guishi Town before, and he wore shoes in the morning because he was anxious. I knew he was a disciple of the Yuxian lineage. He was taught by a senior brother named Huang Youqi. My master said that although Li Renfeng was my junior nephew, he and I were actually born in the same year. His birthday was older than me. This person is always confused on weekdays, but he has a high talent for Feng Shui and geomancer. He is considered a genius that is rare in a century.
As for Liu Shangang, of course I am very happy to be able to help me in the future, but after hearing my senior brother Zhuang's words, I asked a little questioningly: "Liu Shangang? Can he do it?"
Senior Brother Feng smiled and said, "Who knows whether he can do it or not, but Master Xia said that. Liu Shangang, who is following Junior Brother Bao now, if he can learn all the skills of Junior Brother Bao, he will help you with investigations in the future, there should be no problem."
I always feel that Senior Brother Feng is comforting me, because when I think of the situation when I first met Senior Brother Bao, I feel that Senior Brother Bao seems to be an extremely unreliable person.
While Senior Brother Feng was talking, the person who had been knocked unconscious by him had woken up. I saw my master walking to the man and pushing his hand hard on the back of his neck, and the man fainted again.
After that, the four of us kept paying attention to the situation at the construction site. I didn’t know what the Master and Senior Brother Feng were like. Anyway, Liang Houzai and I didn’t dare to distract us for a moment.
About half an hour later, the excavator jumped out again, summoned a few workers to come and said something, and then the people divided into two teams and touched the mountain road.
Senior Brother Feng broke a branch from the tree and threw it at my master's feet. When my master turned to look at him, he pointed to the foot of the mountain and silently made several lip shapes: "Someone came up."
My master immediately loosened the two people tied to the tree, but soon tied their hands and feet with vines. Then my master climbed the tree step by step, and worked with Senior Brother Feng to pull the two people to the tree.
During this period, the two people didn't wake up. At first I was worried that they would die, so I tried to snore them with my fingers. Fortunately, they were still angry.
Not long after, I saw those workers walking past the tree. The branches and leaves on the trees were extremely prosperous. We could see them through the gaps in the leaves, but they did not notice us.
After all, in such a mountain, there are many trees like this, and no one will care about one of them.
As they walked under the tree, I noticed that everyone was holding a pistol in their hands.
Just as they were walking under the tree, a rustling sound suddenly came from the bushes behind the tree. I saw one of them suddenly turn around and shoot at the place where the sound came from.
His reaction was very fast, turning around, raising his gun, and shooting. All movements were completed in an instant. When he fired, only a very light and sharp sound came from the mouth of the gun.
It seems that their pistols should be equipped with mufflers.
Another man moved quickly towards the bushes behind the tree. His feet were on the road full of gravel and dry branches, which seemed very light, like a wild cat walking in the grass without making any sound.
If more than 100 people on the construction site were as well-trained as them, even if Senior Brother Zhuang brought twice the number of people, he might not be able to get a bargain.
I thought about this in my heart and saw that the man had come to the tree. He looked into the bushes, then turned around and shook his head at the other companions.
I could see blood splashing out from the bushes. The shot just now probably hit a rabbit, hedgehog or snake that happened to pass by here.
After a while, the people quickly left the area. My master looked at their backs and frowned fiercely. Senior Brother Feng's face was also not very good-looking.
It was not until I saw them leaving the mountain road and returning to the construction site that I asked my master: "Are they here to find these two people?" As I said, I also pointed to the two prisoners hanging diagonally on the tree branch.
My master shook his head: "Not necessarily. If they come to find companions, they should consider their safety when they act. But just heard a little bit of movement, and the first reaction of these people was to shoot. What if these movements were made by their companions?"
At this time, Senior Brother Feng also said to the side: "There may be dirty things in this forest, and the group of people in front of him should have been saying that thing not long ago."
I thought about the words of Master and Senior Brother Feng for a long time but couldn't figure out what they mean, and I couldn't figure out how my Senior Brother Feng came to the conclusion that "there may be dirty things in the forest."
But looking at Senior Brother Feng’s appearance, it didn’t seem like he was joking at all, and I suddenly became a little nervous.
Dirty things are nothing more than ghosts and evil corpses. The yin energy in Erlong Bay is so strong. No matter what things in the forest are, they will inevitably become very troublesome if they are nourished by the yin energy.
After returning to the construction site, those people all came to the excavator and seemed to be shouting at the people in the excavator.
After a while, the person in the excavator came out again. It was too far away and I couldn't see his expression clearly. I only saw that he seemed to take out his cell phone and was calling.
While making a phone call, he kept waving his left hand. The person on the phone seemed to have angered him. His movements were very urgent and in a very large range.
In such deep mountains, ordinary mobile phones must have no signal, and their mobile phones should be specially made.
My master coughed twice and lit the dry tobacco silently.
As soon as Senior Brother Feng saw my master cut the match, he couldn't help but dissuade him: "Uncle Master, you are smoking here, you may not be discovered."
My master waved his hand: "It's okay to be far away."
Recently, Master’s addiction to smoking has become much greater than before. In the past, with his master’s serious and cautious temperament in everything he does, he would never smoke under such circumstances.
Senior Brother Feng is right. Master smokes at this critical moment and may indeed expose his whereabouts.
But after all, it was too far away. When the smoke rose from the gaps between the leaves, the people on the construction site did not notice at all.
At this time, I saw the excavator suddenly throwing his phone to the ground. Then he raised his hand, as if he shouted something.
All the "workers" on the construction site stopped their work and surrounded him.
He should be the big leader of this group of people. I saw him call out a few people out of the queue and say something, and then the people left one after another.
I saw them walking to another excavator and taking something out of the operating room. The distance was too far, and I could only see that they were several large packages, as well as several very long ropes and three or four iron picks.
