Chapter 13 Chapter Eleven

"Is that guy really reliable?" Back at the hotel, I told my little third son the whole story, and sang praises in front of him, praising Chiwe from head to toe.The little fox was secretly happy, and his whole body was so buoyant that he was about to fly.The third son finally couldn't take it anymore, and pulled me aside to question me in a low voice. "Unreliable." I shook my head without hesitation. "Then you still want to cooperate with him?" The third son complained greatly. I laughed: "Didn't you say that Qi Wei still looks like a person in the whole Qi family?"

The third son snorted: "Looking like a person and being a person are two different things. I don't want Wenyi to be in danger!" "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Anyway, my goal is almost the same as his now. If I don't make good use of the things delivered to my door, I will be condemned by my conscience." I patted his shoulder hard and said: "It's still Tell me about what you found today." Just as Xiao Sanzi was about to speak, I suddenly stopped him with my hand: "In front of that fox, if you want to take advantage of others, you must first make the other party think that you absolutely trust him."

"Yebuyu, you bastard!" Xiao Sanzi smiled wryly, "Don't you think it would be tiring to be a human being like you? Your calculating psychology is several times beyond your age." "It's up to you." I glared at him, "You don't have time to worry about these things, why don't you use your brain to sum up the clues you found!" Although dissatisfied, Xiao Sanzi still took out a pen and paper, leaned on the table and explained to us while drawing: "First, I investigated the hillside. According to Ye Buyu's description, he was still with Wen Yi this morning, but All of a sudden, she disappeared. At that time, I had been staying in the lobby of the hotel, and there was only one door in the entire basement. If Wenyi walked out through the main door, I couldn’t have missed her. So I initially suspected, There is a secret passage in the basement, and that passage should lead to the place where Ye Buyu fainted last night."

He drew a straight line between the hotel and the hillside we visited last night, and continued: "But the hillside is one kilometer away from the hotel at its smallest diameter, and there are a lot of residents in that distance, and every household is still there. There is a very deep private well, and I really can’t figure out who can dig such a deep and long secret passage with such great ability.” "There is a problem." I raised my hand and asked, "Why do you think that the secret tunnel is connected between the hillside and the hostel?" "It's very simple. Weight! You think you are very light. Even if a slender woman like Wen Yi can carry you on her back, she can't carry you a kilometer away. What's more, the kilometer I said is only a diameter, not a distance. And I have the most powerful evidence. Ye Silent, think back, the night that sister Xue Yun's body disappeared, Wen Yi locked you in the room, how long did it take you to run to the hall?"

"About twenty minutes or so." I tapped my finger on the table lightly and calculated it. "That's right, when you arrived at the hall, sister Xue Yun's body and Wen Yi were gone, why could she move sister Xue Yun's body away so quickly? Killed a black cat and spilled its blood!" I smiled lightly and said, "I don't know if she killed that black cat. And I can't rule out that she hid and waited for an opportunity to knock me out." Thinking that Zhang Wenyi didn't just knock me out once, I was angry and funny at the same time. "But you can't rule out the possibility of this secret passage." The third son glanced at me.

I nodded and thought: "It is indeed possible. But since you said that this secret passage cannot be completed by human beings, could it be formed naturally? Didn't the hillside we went to last night have many dark holes formed naturally? It's not out of the question if there's a very deep and long one that goes right under the basement of the hostel." The third son tapped his left hand vigorously, "That's right! How could I not have thought of it?" "You...you don't spend the whole day investigating these things, do you?" I suddenly thought of something, and I stared at him with wide eyes.

The third son suddenly smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, because I thought it was strange, I investigated for a while, and it turned out to be dark by accident." "You bastard!" I had the urge to tear him into pieces. At this moment, Qi Wei, who had been listening silently by the side, said: "If you want to know if there is a secret passage, it is actually very simple, just look for the basement." "It's useless. I've been searching inside for the whole afternoon today, but I found nothing." The third son said immediately. "Actually, it's okay to search again, anyway, there are no other clues." I ignored him, and went straight to the basement with Qi Wei.

I have described this basement many times before, but every time I look at it, I feel that it is more gloomy.Thinking that I slept in this ghostly place yesterday, I couldn't help shivering. If this basement is used as a guest room, it is already very large. It has a square structure of more than 30 square meters.Since there is only one single bed inside, it gives people a clear feeling. The bed is a spring bed that can be seen everywhere, and the bottom of the bed is hollowed out, so there is nothing strange about it. But this place is really uncomfortable!Suppressing the inexplicable fear, I walked around the entire basement and jumped around. After tossing for a while, I started to knock on the walls with a hammer, but I couldn't find any suspicious points.

"Strange! Isn't there a secret passage?" I muttered in surprise.According to my past experience, no matter how far the secret passage is from the starting point, under such a strong knock, there should be some subtle hollow sounds.I looked at Chiwe, and at this moment he also gave up and shrugged helplessly at me. "Forget it, let's use a concise and clear method and go directly to the place where I fainted last night." I waved my arms angrily and walked out first. Suddenly, I felt a pair of cold eyes staring at me from behind. I resisted not looking back, because I was absolutely sure that the owner of those eyes was that cunning fox named Qi Wei. Could it be that I did it intentionally or unintentionally? What did you show that made him wary of me?

Alas, it is really not easy to get the skin of this tiger. It seems that I need to put a tiger's fork on his head as soon as possible. Some people may wonder why I pay special attention to the secret passage in the basement, but the truth is not difficult to imagine.If there is such a passage that is very convenient for transporting things and inquiring about news, I will not leave it too far, then everything will be simple, find it, and then go to the other side along the secret passage, there will be great benefits It is possible to find Zhang Wenyi without any effort. Today is the fourth night after I have been in Black Mountain Town, and the things I encountered are getting weirder every day.The sorceress here is even more alarmist. It is said that if Zhang Xueyun's body cannot be found before sunset tomorrow, she will turn into a ghost and bring a devastating disaster to the whole town.

But now the only certainty is that all doubts and clues point to Zhang Wenyi.She took away her sister's body, and at the same time, she seemed to be planning something in secret. If she is found, maybe everything will have an answer... The world began to rain the patter of winter, icy cold.The wind kept blowing raindrops onto my face, making my already dry face feel as if it had been cut open by a knife, and painful tears were about to flow out. "What is that guy carrying on his back? It looks very heavy." The third son glanced at Qi Wei who was slowly following behind us, and asked cautiously. "I don't know." I honestly shook my head. "Haven't you even asked?" The third son became anxious. "No." I still shook my head vigorously. The third son was very dissatisfied, "That guy must have a problem. We were asked to wait in the hotel. After procrastinating for a long time, he returned a suspicious package. I don't know what he is planning!" "Since you know it's suspicious, why don't you ask him directly?" I smiled lightly. "How could he tell me the truth?" The third son said angrily. "Then there is no way." I walked quickly. The third son hurriedly chased after him, "Who said no, the two of us can snatch his backpack and look through it." I smiled wryly and said: "This idea is the most creative one I have heard this year, and I reserve the right to exercise it." I lowered my head and looked at the terrain carefully, and pointed to the distance ahead and said, "Here we are, we I remember clearly, that's where I fainted last night." Qiwei walked over quickly, and at that moment, I found a trace of emotional fluctuations on his face that was not easy to detect. The fluctuations were full of flavors, like surprise, ecstasy and fear. something wrong!It seemed that he had discovered something.Did Zhang Wenyi leave some clues here?I quickly scanned around with sharp eyes, damn it!Nothing at all.The withered grass, the soft soil that almost sinks your heels, everything is very ordinary, just like when you came last night.Is there any detail that he can discover, but I just ignore it? "People have three urgencies, can you let me find a place to make it easier?" Qi Wei suddenly laughed embarrassingly. "You take care of yourself." I said and glanced at the little man, "Little man, didn't you say you were in a hurry to pee just now? Why don't you go with Brother Qiwei so that you don't have to gossip and say I'm not human." Now that the situation has become what it is now, I won't be so stupid as to pretend to be polite with him.That little fox wants to get rid of us, let's have his big dream, my IQ is not low to that level. The third son looked back at me knowingly, and walked away with Qi Wei muttering dissatisfaction in his mouth.So I looked around again intently.I always feel that something is wrong, it seems that there is something different from last night, I became distressed, and searched in my mind desperately. I stood there blankly in the icy rain for an unknown amount of time, and suddenly the little third son ran towards me with a face full of panic: "Silence at night, that bastard Chiwe is gone!" I was so shocked that I almost sat down on the ground: "Didn't I hint that you should keep an eye on him?" Unbearably angry, I grabbed his collar. The third son was aggrieved and yelled wronged: "I watched him well, even stared at him when he was urinating, and made me pee on my pants." Quickly let go of the third son, I jumped back two steps depressed, "Then why did he disappear?" "I don't understand either. I just turned around and wiped my pants with a tissue. When I turned around, he was gone." "Could it be hiding in some dark hole?" I thought. "It's possible." The third son said dejectedly, "If he really hid in a dark cave, we wouldn't be able to find him no matter how hard we tried." I patted him on the shoulder bitterly, "Forget it, don't blame yourself, this is my mistake. The most important thing for us now is to find out what clues did the little fox find that we didn't notice? " "Did that guy find a clue that even you, a human spirit, didn't find?" The little third son's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you impatient? Dare to scold me?" I lifted my leg and kicked him, and the thick-soled mountaineering shoes with thorns turned up a large piece of soil. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed into my mind, and I shouted excitedly: " I know! I finally know what's different here from yesterday! It's dirt!" "Mud?" Little Sanzi repeated in doubt as he rubbed his butt that hurt from being kicked by me. "Yes, because it hasn't rained in the town for a long time, so when we came last night, the soil on the hillside was still hard, as hard as concrete, but by coincidence, God immediately started When it rains, the soil on the hillside becomes soft as soon as it is moistened by the rain, so that Zhang Wenyi's footprints will be printed naturally. Go to the place where I fainted, and then follow her footprints, and I will definitely find her hiding place , Damn, why didn't I think of it earlier, this is a very obvious clue!" Waking up from the ecstasy, I immediately blamed myself. The third son's face suddenly became ugly: "You mean that guy Qiwei has already found out, and he is one step ahead of us? Damn it, Wen Yi will be in danger!" He ran towards the top of the slope. "Brat, come back and find footprints for me, you have a fart for running around!" I grabbed his collar and shouted rudely. Sure enough, as I expected, there were not only clear female footprints but also traces of dragging heavy objects at the place where I fainted. It must be myself.No wonder when I wake up in the morning, I find that there is a lot of dried dirt on my back. Oh, that little girl, how rude! The footprints were very messy and awkward, showing a crooked line. It could be seen that Zhang Wenyi actually wanted to walk the shortest straight line, but because the things she was dragging were quite heavy for her, she accidentally fell a few times. After several times, I finally gave up and changed it to really not respecting my curves, so pity my famous brand coat! This line has been extending towards the left hillside, walked about 300 meters, and finally disappeared abruptly. "What's the mechanism?" I resolutely kicked towards the place where the footprints disappeared, and suddenly felt my feet loosen, and rolled down in embarrassment amidst the little three's exclamation. What kind of dark hole is this, and the opening of the hole is covered with turf, so he can cover it, why not cover it with a few more layers, it caused me to have a bruised nose and a swollen face, it’s too tricky, it’s a trap!I got up in a panic, turned on the flashlight I carried with me and looked around. This is not a very large space, but it is very dry and the air is comfortable. It seems that there are a lot of air holes leading to the outside world on the cave wall.And there are three people on the right hand side who can only accommodate me and my little three who are thin, it seems that it is indeed a good place to hide things. "What did you find?" Remembering my lesson, the third son slowly crawled in. "Hush, be quiet. Don't startle the snake!" I shouted in the direction of the small hole: "You go into the leftmost hole, and I go into the rightmost hole. If you don't find anything after ten minutes, don't worry about anything. Come back here and meet right away, let's discuss long-term plans!" After speaking, I grabbed the hand of the third son and wrote: "Let's go into the hole in the middle together." "Why?" The third son scratched his head in confusion. "Stupid! Chiwe's little fox is an idiot, don't you think he's an idiot too." I quickly wrote on his hand, "Look at the water on the ground, don't you see it goes all the way into the hole in the middle Is it inside? I said what I said just now to him on purpose, so that the people inside will take it lightly." I kicked him again in frustration, and kicked him into the hole in the middle. Not daring to use the flashlight anymore, I told my third son to follow my example and grope for the narrow cave wall with my hands, while trying to listen to any sounds around me. After walking forward cautiously for a short time, it suddenly dawned on me that I had arrived at a huge space.Darkness enveloped everything, making it difficult to distinguish between north, south, east, and west, and to see north, south, and east.When the hand leaves the wall and there is no one to rely on anymore, it makes people feel very uncomfortable, as if all sense of security is lost in an instant, and there is no guarantee for their own life at all, and they will die at any time. The inner hole and the outer hole feel like two worlds. There is a slow flow of humid air in the inner hole, and there are two unknown stench. These two pungent stench are entangled together, writhing and wriggling in front of the tip of the nose. Constantly tormenting my poor olfactory nerves, I can't distinguish anything. A kind of coldness slowly climbed from the soles of my feet to the top of my head without warning, and I couldn't help shivering.It's a very familiar feeling. I remember the first two times when I felt this way, I was innocently beaten to the ground by Zhang Wenyi.I blinked my eyes and looked around vigilantly, and suddenly saw a pair of green lights not far from the tip of my nose, followed by a stench, the stench of a rotting corpse! "Is that you, Little Sanzi? Brother Qiwei?" I cried out in fear, and I had long forgotten the thousand and one thousand exhortations I had just given to Little Sanzi. Damn it!However, the consciousness is very clear, there is no possibility of fainting suddenly, and the rationality is confused, reminding myself in the brain, although the eyes of people will indeed emit a glimmer in a completely dark state, but it is definitely not so obvious. The thing that is so close to me cannot be a human being! Suddenly, I felt my neck was being grabbed by a pair of hands. I suppressed my fear and tried hard to break my hand away, but with my little strength, I couldn't compete with the other party at all. I gave up immediately, reached out with difficulty and took out the electric shock anti-wolf device from my trouser pocket, pressed it on the thing's body, pressed the button desperately, and bursts of blue current ran around in the darkness along the body of the thing I could even smell the burnt stench amidst the rotting stench. But the electric shock obviously had no effect on it, the thing just pinched my throat fiercely, getting tighter and tighter!Consciousness gradually drifted away from the physical body. With the last of my strength, I took out the flashlight and pressed the button on the two green things. A beam of strong light suddenly illuminated the space, and the thing hurriedly let go of me, covered its eyes and squatted in the corner. Finally saved!I covered my neck and inhaled desperately, and I didn't bother to care if the air was so disgusting that it made people want to vomit.Little Sanzi was standing blankly not far to my left, his face turned blue with fear, and cold sweat kept streaming down his face. "The corpse has changed! The corpse has really changed!" It took the guy a long time to wake up, and suddenly he shouted hysterically: "Oh my God! Although I used to hear it from my grandma, this is the first time I have seen a real corpse. It’s so scary! If I didn’t let out all the water in my body just now, I’m afraid I’m going to be incontinent again now.” "Stinky boy, you didn't think of a way to help me just now, but you are still a magic stick." While coughing in pain, I looked at that thing, it didn't look good, and I almost fainted in surprise. The thing that desperately wanted to kill me turned out to be Zhang Xueyun's long-lost corpse!I saw that her swollen corpse had begun to rot and collapse, and there were still many corpse insects wriggling slowly in the rotting gaps on her face.Zhang Wenyi actually stayed with such a terrifying thing for three days and three nights?I began to admire her love for her sister. "Do you feel that there is still a pungent smell in this hole. Can you smell it?" Although Zhang Xueyun's body became like a statue and stopped moving, I was still not at ease, and while shining it with a flashlight, While asking the third son. The third son took a few deep breaths, and then spat out disgustingly: "I can't smell it, but it feels very familiar!" "Forget it, let's think about how to carry Zhang Xueyun's body back." I shrugged my shoulders, and my confused thoughts gradually became clear. It's strange, when we were in the outer cave, there was obviously a new water trail extending here, but why was there no one inside, but only Zhang Xueyun's body?Where's Chiwe's fox?Could it be that I overestimated him, maybe he didn't find any clues at all, and he never came here at all?So who is the owner of that water mark?Is it Zhang Wenyi? I glanced around vigilantly, and suddenly saw a red light flashing at the exit.The group of little sparks drew a beautiful arc in the air, and fell to the ground, only to hear a "boom" in the ears, and the little red star turned into a raging fire and quickly devoured us. "Damn! It turns out it smells like gasoline. People have spilled gasoline all over the floor, no wonder the smell is so familiar!" I didn't forget to curse in spite of my panic, and ran towards the depths of the cave with my little Sanzi. "Hurry up, you'll die if you're late!" I yelled, "The air here is terribly humid. There must be an underground river or pond nearby." Sure enough, I really let myself find it.I was ecstatic, and after kicking Xiao Sanzi off, I jumped off myself.The fire continued to spread in the cave, and the fiery orange tongue slowly climbed up to Zhang Xueyun's body.The corpse roared angrily, burned, emitting an astonishing scorched stench, and walked slowly, step by step, towards the black shadow at the entrance of the cave who was engrossed in watching the show and was unwilling to leave early. "Bitch, you were played by me before you were alive, and if you become a ghost, you will still be used by me. What can you do with me?" The black shadow laughed, and it sounded like the voice of a strange stone.Seeing Zhang Xueyun approaching with a fiery body, he unhurriedly got out of the hole and walked out. The corpse couldn't bear the high temperature any longer and fell to the ground. The cave was originally damp and there was nothing to burn. After the gasoline burned out, the fire gradually extinguished.There was the sound of footsteps from far to near, and that person seemed to sense something was wrong and ran in hastily. "Sister!" The slender figure exclaimed in surprise, it was Zhang Wenyi. "Sister! How did this happen? What happened?" She knelt on the ground in despair and muttered, her lips trembling in pain. "That bastard Qi Shimu spilled gasoline in the hole..." Xiao Sanzi walked over to help her up. Zhang Wenyi pushed him away vigorously, and shouted angrily: "I don't believe it! It's you, it must be you. You listened to the rumors and thought that my sister would turn into a ghost, so you killed her body with fire! Put my sister Give it back to me. She was so gentle when she was alive, and she never did anything harmful to nature, why do you both treat her like this!" Zhang Wenyi beat my shoulder hard, I grabbed her hand, slapped her hard with my right hand and shouted: "Enough! Your sister is already dead, she is already dead, why are you still so obsessed?" Zhang Wenyi raised her head and stared at me blankly, her eyes filled with lifelessness.Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer, she threw herself into my arms and started to cry...
