Chapter 22 Chapter 21

Seeing Qin Hai's appearance, he didn't look like he was pretending, so I asked tentatively, "Could it be that this matter has nothing to do with you?" What I said made Qin Hai a little strange: "How can it be related to me? I came here to handle a case, and what you are going to do is not the same thing. Besides, before I came, I couldn't have expected that your father would help you in the end." Busy. At that time, the main reason for bringing you here was to have a companion, but this, you know, is not the most important thing." What he said made sense, but I was even more surprised.Besides Qin Hai, who else wants me to come here?This is unreasonable, is it grandpa?According to Grandpa's temper, if it was really him, he would never use such a sneaky way, he would definitely let me come.In fact, he was the one who mobilized me to come to Wuliang Mountain.Thinking of this, I was completely confused.

Qin Hai patted me on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter who it is, the most important thing is that you can find your father and leave Wuliang Mountain safely. Why worry about other things? Sooner or later, the truth will come to light. .” I thought for a while and said: "That's true. Looking back on the day when the accident happened nine years ago, my brother once told me that there were unimaginable things in the cave. Now it seems that he was right. Moreover, he had already He knew that my father was fine, so he let me go into the cave, because he knew that the cave was not dangerous."

After I casually said this, I was about to walk back, but Qin Hai held my arm and said, "There's something wrong with this." I asked, "What's wrong? I can't feel it?" Qin Haidao: "Maybe I was overthinking. If the weird man who helped us all the time before was really your brother, but he didn't seem to want us to go into that hole. It was only after Lin Li came back that we came back." I know the direction of the cave. But you said that he told you a few years ago that he wanted you to go to the cave, isn’t that contradictory?” I thought for a while and said: "What's so strange about this, I can answer you. First of all, seven years ago, the entrance of the cave where my brother went down was not in the same direction as we entered the cave. The situation is different. Secondly, after all these years, who knows what will change?"

"Do you think your brother will change?" "If he changes, why does he help us several times? If he really wants to harm us, he doesn't need to do it himself." "Don't get excited, I'm just speculating. I didn't say that your brother has become bad, but he may have a difficult reason, maybe." Qin Hai explained. "What are the difficulties? He just doesn't want me to take risks, after all, he is my own brother." "Really? I think it's very possible. However, I thought of another question just now. Although your brother prevented the two of us from entering the cave, it seems that he doesn't want everyone, including you and me, to know too much about Wuliang Mountain." It’s a secret, but he let Lin Li and the others in, it seems that these two decisions of your brother seem to be somewhat contradictory.”

What Qin Hai said made me dumbfounded and speechless.Originally a very subtle situation, after his analysis, it was infinitely magnified.His ability is indeed terrifying. If he is not careful, if he touches a little trace, this person can follow the clues and find the result.I thought for a while and said, "You mean, my father's decision may not be consistent with my brother's decision?" "It's not that the decision is consistent, but that there may be inconsistencies in the ideas." "Can you express your thoughts clearly? I don't quite understand what you mean."

"I can't say yet. After all, it's just my guess. Looking back, if my guess is really right, it will be very unexpected." It's very unkind to say half of it, to tantalize people's appetite.But no matter how I protested, Qin Hai was unwilling to express his true thoughts, so I had no choice but to give up, so I asked: "The next step, we should leave here, and I don't know how to explain to Jia Xiaobing. " "Actually, Jia Xiaobing himself understands that Ganoderma lucidum may not exist at all. But we can't leave. Once we leave, all our efforts will be in vain. Instead, we must continue to go deeper and find out the last secret."

"What other secrets are there that are worth digging for?" "What I'm looking for is my secret." After hearing this sentence, I was a little surprised and said, "Don't you have any other secrets?" Qin Hai smiled and said: "You will know everything at that time, I promise you. But before that, you have to listen to me, don't talk nonsense, let me say everything, you just listen. " Seeing his unfathomable appearance, although I felt curious, I still restrained myself.In the current situation, no one I want to change to leave Wuliang Mountain so inexplicably.Things that have a beginning and no end, at least I am not reconciled.

After walking back with Qin Hai, he sat on the ground, frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly said to Ma Yifei: "You go." This sentence was very unexpected to me, but we had an agreement before, and he spoke , I could only listen, so I didn't question it.Qin Hai nodded again and said, "That's right, I figured it out too, because the main target is not you, why bother to offend people for no reason." Ma Yifei's face was full of complacency, and he immediately stood up, took out his cigarettes, scattered one each, and said with a smile: "I won't say anything about what Police Officer Qin said. Don't worry, if you need it in the future , Up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, I will never refuse."

Qin Hai nodded and said, "I wouldn't ask you to make such a huge sacrifice. I only have one small request. Since you can't betray your boss, it shouldn't be difficult to talk about Huang Ziwen's boss, right?" "Didn't Huang Ziwen be arrested by you? Is this kid also tight-lipped?" Ma Yifei seemed a little suspicious. "To be honest, he didn't confess his boss." Qin Hai said calmly. "That's no wonder, his boss is not an ordinary person. If this kid dares to speak out, the whole family will probably die. Since you are mean enough, I can't pretend to be a bear. Although I haven't met his boss, I still know I heard. He should be a head-down master. He used to be well-known in Nanyang, but then he suddenly entered the drug trafficking circle. Because of his great skills, even drug dealers are jealous of him, so he made a name for himself in the Golden Triangle. We He also killed a lot of border anti-narcotics police here, I really don’t know how this kid hooked up with such a big role.”

Qin Hai nodded and said: "Okay, let's go, I hope I will never see you again." After saying that, he actually returned the pistol to Ma Yifei.Ma Yifei was even more unsuspecting, picked up his gun, and left us happily. After a while, Qin Hai said to Lin Li, "That person is the one who killed our parents." Lin Li's complexion suddenly changed, and she asked, "Are you a master?" "Yes, our parents were killed by evil methods. I have been chasing this line. What Ma Yifei said today has completely confirmed the existence of this person." Jia Xiaobing said: "You guys have figured out everything, now I'm the only one who is going on a summer vacation."

Qin Hai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will accompany you into the mountain again. If you return empty-handed this time, it's fate." Jia Xiaobing suddenly opened his mouth wide: "What, do you still want to go into the mountains?" "That's right, don't you dare?" "No matter how bad the result is waiting for me, I must go in, because I must save my mother." It can be seen that Jia Xiaobing was truly moved, and everyone present was moved by him. Lin Li and Qin Hai are brother and sister. Although she doesn't say it clearly, she also understands what Qin Hai intends to enter the mountain again.Only Lao Tofu frowned and said, "Is it safe to go back? If it wasn't for Brother Bing's father, we wouldn't have been able to get out." "It is precisely because of this backstage that I think it is even more necessary to take this trip again. Why, are you afraid? If you are afraid, don't go." Qin Hai said. "I'm not afraid, I'm worried about whether Lin Li's body can bear it." When Lao Tofu said this, he didn't move his eyes from Lin Li's face at all.I really didn't expect that this kid would be so careless, and finally after meeting Lin Li, he would undergo an earth-shaking change. Qin Hai said: "Okay! If this is the case, let's move forward." So we walked towards Wuliang Mountain for the second time. Entering the mountain again, I am familiar with the road, and the speed of travel is much faster than at the beginning.When we passed Laolongwo, we went to Beishan to have a look, and saw that all the traces had been cleaned up.I stared at the mysterious hole embedded in the mountain, guessing what kind of terrifying creatures lived in it, but at this moment, the deep cave was quiet, without the slightest sound. "If I want to go in from here, who of you is willing to follow?" We all looked at Qin Hai in surprise, wondering if his mind was broken.If you want to save effort, you shouldn't take this path. If you encounter something inside, you will be in big trouble.Seeing our expressions, Qin Hai smirked and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a fool." After that, he led us forward.This time, passing through the area where the notice was posted, I saw that the broken notices that had been torn off half of each big tree were cleaned up, as if they had never been pasted. "I think this notice is also very strange. Why would someone remove a piece of it? And every piece is like this. I think it must be not simple." Lao Tofu expressed his doubts. "It's not complicated. This announcement must be a warning to those uninformed tourists not to enter this world easily. The reason why a piece was torn off must be the work of the person mentioned in the announcement. I don't think there is any mystery about this person. , is nothing more than a yin-watching warlock or a practitioner of Tantric Buddhism. This is by no means a notice to arrest criminals. If criminals enter here, they will be close to death." We moved forward while talking, and soon entered the forest where the ghost beast master was, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.We looked around, wanting to see if the ghost beast master was watching us from some dark corner, but there was no one, which was beyond our expectation.We easily walked through the woods and came to the back. Next to the original old graves, we suddenly saw a new grave, and judging from the name on the tombstone, it was most likely the woman.How did she die inexplicably and be buried?We couldn't help looking at Jia Xiaobing.He immediately understood, his hands kept shaking like a fan: "This matter has nothing to do with me, I didn't kill her, and I never thought about it again." Unexpectedly, after entering the mountain for the second time, doubts arose again. It seems that we still did not pay enough attention to this mountain.Qin Hai also frowned this time, and didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Don't delay here, let's continue on our way." I thought about it, and then asked: "Brother Qin, although I have absolute trust in you, I still want to ask, what is your plan after entering the mountain this time?" "I think there must be secrets in the cave that need to be understood, so the goal of coming back this time is very clear, which is to return to the cave from the original path and continue the investigation." "But what about those villains with anesthesia? We can't pass there at all." "You're talking about the mustard tree, right? In fact, we were too nervous at the time, so we misread it. Those things are the roots of the mustard tree. This is a very magical plant. Once it is touched by external force, it will We were too careless to attack all moving objects. We will never let this happen again when we go back this time." How did Qin Hai know these things?I find it very strange.Could it be that going into the mountain again this time was already in his plan?So who gave him the courage, or the plan? From the current point of view, only my brother and father have such abilities.Thinking of this, I was both shocked and incomprehensible.After all, I am their close relative. Even if they have any secrets, they should tell me. Why tell an outsider instead?There were more and more strange things in front of me, and I secretly smiled bitterly at my powerlessness. Soon, we passed through the obstacles and came to the weird conical funnel area.Qin Hai looked at it carefully again, and Lin Li said, "Brother, what is this place for?" Qin Hai thought for a while and said, "I don't know either, but I think I will know soon." "Why?" I couldn't help asking. Qin Haidao: "Because the answer to the mystery is about to be revealed." "Are you so sure?" Old Tofu asked respectfully, it made me want to laugh. Suddenly, Qin Hai stood up and said, "Come out, why are you so sneaky?" We were all taken aback, not knowing who he was talking to. After a while, I suddenly saw Ma Yifei with a sly smile coming out from behind a dense bush, holding the pistol in his hand, pointing at Qin Hai and saying, "Although you found me, you didn't The pistol should be returned to me, right? And it still has bullets." Ma Yifei seemed to have controlled the situation with a smug expression on his face. Qin Hai stared at him, seemingly regretful and annoyed, in short, I couldn't understand that expression.Suddenly, he stretched out his right hand and said, "Although there are bullets in your gun, you should be more careful." After that, he opened his palm, and there was actually a firing pin of a pistol inside.He flipped the firing pin to the ground, took out his pistol and pointed it at Ma Yifei, "So, a human being should not harm others. Being kind to others is actually being kind to yourself." This sentence deeply infected Ma Yifei, and I guess he must have had the urge to beat himself up at that time.Especially the last sentence, also benefited me a lot.Thinking about this short and concise summary carefully, it is true. Yu Qiuzhen is a living example, always thinking of killing people with a knife, but in the end, the person who died was himself. Ma Yifei pulled the trigger several times in succession, only a slight clicking sound could be heard, and half of the bullets could not be fired.He ruthlessly threw the pistol at his feet, cursed in a low voice, and suddenly said to Qin Hai: "How did you know I would follow? Could it be that you are also a dark wizard?" Qin Hai sneered and said: "I don't have that much skill, but it's not difficult to predict what you will do, because I have already guessed who is behind your back. People like you would rather be arrested than There is only one possibility of confessing to the behind-the-scenes instigation. Your every move must be under his nose. Otherwise, how can this kind of person give you the opportunity to find the treasure? Of course, he has the protection against you. Dark hand. Before, I always felt that your appearance was a bit inexplicable. Pulling Huang Ziwen to carry out such an important task, Huang Ziwen thought it was your private work. If you want to understand this, then everything will come to light. " I listened to Qin Hai's words, and my heart gradually sank. The person he mentioned, from all aspects, is most likely to be my brother.First of all, my brother has been following us; secondly, if there are indeed treasures in Wuliang Mountain, with his familiarity with Wuliang Mountain, he is at least one of the people who has the knowledge of the situation.With these two points, if this person is not my brother, who else could it be?Thinking of this, I became more and more anxious.Looking at Ma Yifei again, his expression was cloudy and uncertain. After a while, he said: "So, you have already guessed who is behind me?" Qin Hai sneered and said, "Of course I guessed it." After that, he glanced at me subconsciously, "If you think I'm lying to you, then I can go one step further. The person behind you is the same as He Bing." It matters, right?" As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Ma Yifei and I changed.I didn't expect him to be so direct, and Ma Yifei certainly didn't expect him to be able to grasp such detailed information. Qin Hai looked at his expression and smiled triumphantly: "Am I right?" Before Ma Yifei could speak, there was a rustling sound behind him, and a man came out stepping on fallen leaves, and said to us with a half-smile, "Cheng, I haven't met someone as smart as you for a long time." Ma Yifei immediately stepped aside respectfully. Seeing him, I can say that I was both shocked and a little relieved, because the man who manipulated Ma Yifei behind the scenes was not my elder brother, but the honest village chief in my impression.Usually, he always stammered, but now he took off his disguise, and his simple and honest face was replaced by a sly smile.He didn't seem to be worried about the exposure of his identity, and there was indeed no trace of fear in his smile, on the contrary, he was somewhat complacent. "Officer Qin, up to now, I can only admire you. I never thought that you would suspect me." "Well... just know." Seeing that Qin Hai hesitated for a long time before saying such a sentence, I knew that the person he suspected before must be my brother, but the village chief also has the above-mentioned conditions.It's just that he didn't expect that such an honest person like him would play this hand behind his back. "I don't understand one thing. Why did you go to Beijing to find Mr. He? Isn't that superfluous?" Qin Hai asked. "How can it be superfluous? Don't forget that He Bing's mother is from our village." This sentence was like a spring thunder, and once again made me realize the suddenness of the unexpected situation.Thinking of my mother who lives carefully all day long, does she also have secrets that I don't know about?Qin Hai didn't say anything this time, I knew he was taking care of my face.The village chief quickly said, "Don't worry too much, He Bing's mother has nothing to do with this matter, she is just a former villager in our village. Now that I know that her husband is still alive, I will certainly To inform her, I also hope that their husband and wife can reunite." I suddenly realized: "So you wrote that letter?" "To be precise, I wrote those words. Your father didn't want the news about him in the mountains to be revealed, but I know your mother has been looking for him. I am the village head, of course I have to help the people in my village. of the villagers." Qin Haidao: "Are you the group of Xiuxiling aborigines who killed the Japanese soldiers?" "No, I am a descendant of the group of Japanese killed by the Japanese soldiers, that is, the former owner of the collapsed house you saw next to the Baimang Cave. He Bing's ancestors are the real aborigines. It’s just that I integrated into it later and became the village head.” No one spoke, and they all waited for the village head to continue.It seems that a shocking secret is slowly revealing parts of it that have been kept hidden. What's going on?What kind of truth exists? The village chief did not continue immediately, but said to Qin Hai: "Before I reveal my heart to you, can I ask Comrade Qin a question first?" "Okay, as long as I can answer." "Of course you can answer. I really want to know the state secrets, and I won't find you. I just want to know, is it true that you went into the mountain this time to find me?" "Yes, I want to know the exact information of your partner, because he killed my parents." "So, that is to say, I have to confess this matter regardless of reason, emotion, or law, right?" "From my point of view, it does." "I think so too. However, I also want to say something arrogant. In this mountain, I am the king. I will let you live and die. Do you think you have the strength to negotiate terms with me?" "I'm talking about human nature, not conditions. I just want to seek justice for my dead parents. Of course you can kill me easily. You are a murderer. It's no big deal. Don't pretend to be a powerful person. " Hearing this sentence, the village head not only didn't get angry, but laughed: "Good job. To be honest, I admire you a little bit. In fact, I can't kill you at all, and I haven't thought about it , because there is someone protecting you in this mountain?" I was suddenly excited, and asked involuntarily, "That man is my brother, right?" The village head nodded: "That's right. But, have you ever thought about why your brother knew you had entered the mountain?" "Did you tell him? But why do you bother with your own plans?" "I said, your mother is one of us. I'm not looking for trouble for myself, but to help my people fulfill their wishes." When he said this, the village chief's expression became serious instead of cunning. The tone also became more serious, as if to let me know which side I should be on. Qin Hai glanced at me and said, "You should know that I have never forced you to do anything, including your own choice today. The purpose of my coming here is nothing more than to arrest criminals for my parents. Said It doesn't matter where you go." The village chief snorted: "According to your words, we become criminals?" "I didn't mention you, but the person who killed my parents is a criminal." "Unfortunately, you can't afford to offend this criminal. Let alone you, even I and most of the evil-eyed Taoists in Wuliang Mountain are no match for him. Hitting a pebble against a rock is the truest portrayal of the relationship between you and him." "So what? In this world, there is no such thing as a crime that can be exempted from punishment because of great ability." Qin Hai confronted the village chief without flinching. At this moment, there was a light plop, and a person jumped down from a pine tree. It was my elder brother. At this time, his face was still covered with mud, but his eyes could see clearly, but I didn't know. How should I open my mouth to call him, I suddenly feel a little embarrassed. My brother didn't look at me, but looked Qin Hai up and down, and said: "I think what you said makes sense, but making sense doesn't mean you can do it. You need to rely on my protection to survive, and face him ? It’s not that I underestimate you, that’s just sending you to death.” "There is no certainty in everything. The strongest person may not be the final winner." Qin Hai's expression was very determined. "But I can assert that you are doomed to be a loser, unless..." At this point, my brother gave up. "I understand a truth, the evil does not overpower the good." Qin Hai frowned and replied. My brother sneered: "Then you go and defeat the evil. I'll see if you have the ability." I couldn't help but said, "Brother, it's been so many years, why don't you go home?" Only then did my brother look at me, and after a while, he said, "If I leave, what will Dad do?" He still doesn't know that his biological father has gone crazy long ago, and the father he said is actually his uncle, but these words should not be said by me, so he said: "Anyway, I hope you can help us. Qin Hai's family died unjustly, and my friend needs herbal medicine to treat her mother's cancer, we should help them." My brother said: "That's your business, don't get me involved, I've helped you enough along the way." I know that after so many years, my brother must have changed a lot in terms of personality. He is no longer the big brother who protected me from a young age and didn't allow anyone to bully me.I only have a blood relationship with him. Thinking of this, I can't help feeling sad.Qin Hai was very calm, maybe he only expected my brother not to cause trouble for us, so he asked now: "Since everyone has shown up, I want to ask a question, are you all together?" My brother and the village head looked at each other, neither denying nor affirming, but I could feel that the relationship between the two seemed not too harmonious, and there was not much friendly expression in their eyes.None of the three of us spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.Suddenly, there was a strange noise. Although we were far away, we could still see that huge white snake slowly swimming out of the cave. Its body was very long. What we could see was at least forty or fifty meters away. , and its body has not fully come out of the hole. Although I knew that this boa constrictor was extraordinarily large, it was beyond my expectation. The old tofu next to him whispered: "The white lady has come out again." The village head smiled and said, "Your analogy is really apt, this snake seems to be really about to become a spirit." My brother asked us with a serious face, "After entering the mountain, you probably also heard that Wuliang Mountain is the day when the old dragon crosses the catastrophe this year. Do you believe it?" "Even if there is an old dragon crossing the catastrophe, what does it have to do with us?" Qin Hai said. The elder brother sneered: "The reason why you are not afraid is because you don't understand what the old dragon crosses the catastrophe at all. If you understand, you will leave here as if fleeing for your life." Qin Haidao: "Really? Then tell me, I really don't believe how scary this thing can be." The village chief's originally calm expression immediately changed, and he said, "You want to tell the story?" The elder brother said coldly: "Why, what can't be said about this matter?" "Can……" "It's nothing but, my brother is also in it, don't you want him to be unlucky for this?" "But we all swore at the beginning not to reveal this secret, otherwise we will be punished by God." "Really? But my younger brother should also be from Xiuxi Village. To him, it shouldn't be considered a leak, right?" "You..." The village chief obviously didn't expect him to say such a sentence, nodded and said, "Okay, you have been waiting for me for a long time." The elder brother's expression immediately became disdainful, and he said coldly: "We are two people at all, at least I never thought about the treasure." "But the reason I want this treasure is for the better development of the plan." "But you should also know that if this thing falls into his hands, more people will be unlucky. You are killing people in disguise." "This is the covenant you and I have long ago, and you cannot violate the original oath." The elder brother's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he said angrily, "I didn't break any oath. As I said, letting my brother know about this is not considered a leak." Because he turned his back to the village head, the village head didn't know him The expression changed, and he was still babbling nonsense.Suddenly, my brother's left hand didn't move, but I clearly saw a gleaming silver dagger slipped from his sleeve and fell into his hand.It seems that the village head is going to be in bad luck. At the critical moment, suddenly, a deep voice shouted: "Stop!" Looking around, I actually saw Grandpa turning out from behind a big rock that can be invisible.This change was even more unexpected to me, and even made me almost faint.What exactly is going on?Why did my grandpa actually come here? Grandpa was still serious as usual. After walking to me, he nodded and said, "You are good, very good." I didn't understand what he meant, and I didn't know how to answer. The village chief seemed aggrieved and said, "Commander He, I'm doing what you want. He Jun wants to kill me." Grandpa nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will never let anyone hurt you. He Jun, I hope you can put back the murder weapon in your hand." Obviously, my brother was stunned by Grandpa's sudden appearance. The dagger in his hand slipped to the ground involuntarily.For a while, the forest was surprisingly quiet.
