Chapter 109
The fishy hanging child
Ten hours?!
Doesn't it mean that after the police took away the body, they came back immediately?
What are my parents doing? Why are they wandering back again? The situation is already precarious, but they are still wandering in the mountains. Normally, if they find an opportunity, they should run away without a trace!
Full of doubts and excitement, I grabbed Lao Bai's wrist and asked hurriedly: "Can we find them?"
"this……"
Lao Bai thought for a while and sighed: "I'll try my best, but the hope is not very high. Their smell is very weak. They should have been specially treated. Your father is very cautious. Now I can still find it when I come here."
If it had been someone else, even a specially trained dog wouldn't be able to handle it."
After he finished speaking, he looked around for directions and waved for us to follow him.
In fact, I saw that the direction he was walking was directly into the mountains.
Guanchuan Mountain is no better than other places. The scenery here is pretty good, but it is located in a remote place. People started clamoring to build a tourist attraction a few years ago, but now there is no movement at all. This is truly a barren mountain and wild forest, where jackals and wolves
There are tigers, leopards and so on.
It was getting dark at this time, and not far after we walked, we could see some strange and big birds flying over the treetops, spreading their wings, and they looked as if they were about to eat people, which was extremely scary.
However, we had no preparations for this trip. In order to provide lighting, Brother Yaozi could only break off a tree branch as thick as an arm, wrap his clothes around one end, and then apply rosin from the pine tree to light it as a torch. All that came out was
Black smoke, the smell is always bad.
But Brother Yaozi said that the grass in the forest is so high that it even bends the calves. Who knows what is hiding in the grass? He heard that there is a venomous snake called the black witch snake by the locals in Guanjuan Mountain. One bite can kill people.
If someone were to crouch in the grass for a while, it would be hard to guard against it. The gas emitted by the rosin is slightly poisonous and will not poison people, but it can drive away snakes. It was a bitter experience for Lao Bai, and he was so smoked that his eyes burst into tears.
Woof.
Unfortunately, the dim light from a torch was of little use and could barely illuminate the way forward. Not long after walking, Zhang Xinya suddenly screamed, saying that there was a ghost face on the tree, and she almost bumped into her face. She was blinded by the light.
We couldn't see clearly what it was. We could only see a dark mass hanging on the tree branch. Brother Kite took a torch and took a closer look, only to see clearly that it was an owl sleeping upside down on the tree.
, this thing hanging there at night can really scare someone to death.
The real deep mountains and old forests are not only magnificent primitive features, but also full of crises. In the early years when people traveled to Guandong, how many people lost their lives in the mountains? The deep mountains and old forests in northwest Shanxi are not at all like this.
It’s not much gentler than the black water in the Baishan Mountains in the Northeast. Although I grew up drinking the water from the Fen River and blowing the wind from the Guanxi River, this is actually the first time I’ve been in the mountains. My mother reminded me since I was a child that apart from the old mountain people who rely on the mountains,
Normal people can't get out of the mountains. Now that we have walked not far, I can roughly understand the difficulty. I just don't know how my parents survived in this deep mountain.
Lao Bai walked side by side with me. Maybe he noticed my worries, so he smiled and said I was worrying too much.
He has never met my dad. He has heard me talk about it before. My dad has always been an honest and kind man. Now this is the first time he has interacted with my dad remotely. He feels that what I said is wrong. My dad is obviously
He is a veteran. Through scent tracking, he discovered that my dad has a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance. People like this are just old people who go out to join the world. They are like a fish in water in these deep mountains and forests. If I die a hundred times, he may not be killed.
A somersault, so I don't have to worry.
We trekked for six or seven hours on the rugged mountainous terrain, our backs and legs were sore from walking, and finally we got lost in front of a big puddle.
To be precise, the smell of my parents completely dissipated after arriving here, leaving no trace behind.
Brother Yaozi stared at the big bubble, picked up a stone and threw it in. He heard a "dong" sound without even a splash, and immediately said: "There can't be any articles under the water, the water is too deep.
"
"They're not here."
Lao Bai thought for a while, then sighed: "It's Lao Jianghu after all. It's unfathomable. I think we should be very close to them. In all likelihood, they may have noticed that someone is following them, so they resorted to means
, leaving no smell at all.”
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that there was something strange about this matter.
The smell of the corpse hiding place was left ten hours ago. Unless my dad stayed in one place, we would have no chance of catching up.
Moreover, this is considered a surprise inspection, and my father is not clairvoyant, so how can he detect that someone is following them? This is unreasonable!
"Is it possible that there is nothing we can do?"
I asked: "If my dad is really aware of it, he may think that we are Xing Wei's group. Is there any way to tell him our identity?"
"Do you really think I'm a god?"
Lao Bai rolled his eyes, then thought about it, and then said: "Smell can hide confusion, but energy can't hide it. I'll try again."
As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from his pocket. After opening it, there was a bright light shining inside, which seemed to be some white powder.
Zhang Xinya was curious and subconsciously wanted to go over and take a look, but Brother Yao Zi stretched out his arm to stop him.
"Better not touch this thing."
Brother Yaozi took a deep look at Lao Bai and said, "I'd better touch less of his things from now on. This guy is getting more and more evil. He even carries this thing with him. They are all bugs, but they are too small to be seen by the human eye."
It’s not clear. When piled together, it looks like lime powder at first glance, and it won’t stick to it at all!”
As soon as she heard it was a bug, Zhang Xinya immediately shivered, rubbed her arms fiercely, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on her skin, and exclaimed: "Gu?"
"It's not a Gu. This thing is called a 'Xing Gua Zi', and it's a unique skill among all kinds of people."
Brother Yaozi pulled Zhang Xinya and me to stand a little further apart, as if he was extremely afraid of this fishy thing.
He said that this is a thing commonly used in hanging doors among the eight kinds of things, and it is a thing that is specially designed to harm people!
The so-called hanging door refers to those who practiced performing arts in markets and temple fairs in the old society. People in Jianghu jokingly called them "hanging zihang". There are many kinds of hanging zihang, which are divided into branch, pull, poke and point.
, sharp and so on.
This Xing Gua Zi was cultivated by people from Gua Men Xing Dao.
As the saying goes, you would rather mess with a gentleman than a villain. In the trade of hanging, pulling, poking, tapping, etc., people in the arena can be regarded as vegetarians. Even street performers are bound by a professional ethics.
It's important to support someone who has money, and someone who doesn't have money, but this person is the most difficult to offend, and there are no taboos.
To put it bluntly, once the stalls of the people in the Xingdao are set up and you watch the performance, you have to put the money there. If you don't put it down, then the relationship will be considered settled. They will ask you for it, and they will take the initiative to ask for money.
It's called losing face, which probably means tearing one's face apart. If you don't give it, then you'll have to resort to tactics, and they will release "Xinghangzi" to entangle you.
If this little bug has no other abilities, it has one characteristic: it can swallow people's anger.
A tree lives with a piece of skin, a person lives with a breath, anger is actually the root of human beings. People in the fishy path control the smell of fish and devour the anger of others. This is equivalent to the root of the bad person's body. It can be said to be very sinister, and it can even cause the root of disease.
In severe cases, it can be life-threatening, or it can even be sucked and fucked by others, and the death will be very painful. As for the extent to which people in the fishy path will attack, it all depends on how ugly you say after losing face.
Brother Yaozi probably didn't expect that Lao Bai would have such a thing. His face was full of disgust, saying that people in the Xing Dao were the most taboo in the world. These people had broken the rules and were the rats that everyone wanted to beat. If Lao Bai dared to expose Xing Dao,
Taking out the hanging piece in front of others is more serious than him cheating Heimiao Tusi, and it will be criticized by thousands of people.
"I didn't use it to harm anyone, I'm just afraid of a ball!"
Lao Bai cursed, held the small porcelain bottle in the center of his palm and rubbed it back and forth. After a moment, he blew lightly on the mouth of the bottle and raised his hand to scatter all the powder in the bottle!
This is indeed a bug.
The white powder was scattered and dispersed immediately, like a large white mist, floating in the air and moving back and forth.
Suddenly, the white mist subsided and rushed toward a certain location, condensing on the ground, where a footprint appeared.
After a while, the footprints disappeared, the white mist floated forward, and one footprint after another appeared on the ground!
"This way!"
Lao Bai pointed to the direction of the long footprints and shouted: "They have only left here for an hour at most. Wherever a living person passes, the anger will briefly condense on the ground through the feet. I use the Xinghangzi to track these angers.
The anger will dissipate in an hour at most, and they will never go far!"
After saying that, he took the lead and caught up first.
The white mist was moving faster and faster, and we were panting as we chased it. We were wandering around in the deep mountains and forests like headless flies, completely losing our sense of direction.
The wounds on my body were painful, my chest was warm, and there was faint blood oozing out.
Just when we almost couldn't hold on any longer, we entered a valley. Behind a piece of vines clinging to the rock, there was a dark cave. Those fishy fish were pouring into it like crazy.
, wherever it passes, the vines wither!
"It's in that cave!"
Lao Bai wiped away his sweat with a smile on his face: "I think I have found it now. I am so angry that your parents are definitely in it!"
