Chapter 346 Arranging Clues
346 3Chapter 16 Organizing clues

Wu Xie asked: "Then... how did you survive with nothing for so many days? What did you eat?"

The fat man said to him: "There is no food, but there is water. This is thanks to the crack. A lot of water will seep out from the crack. We have been living on drinking water for the past two weeks. Look at me, fat man. Look, you, fat man, I have lost more than ten kilograms."

He pinched the loose flesh on his body and said, "Look, it's all soft and loose. In order not to consume physical energy, we almost always sit still, or we have nothing but sleep."

On the other side of the outside there are some leftover wooden shelves that were dug in the past, which can be used to make fires. I only burn a little every day. The oxygen here is not a problem, but I can’t hold it anymore. Come to our girl. She has brought sugar and medicine. Hold on. "

As he spoke, the fat man suddenly lowered his voice and continued: "The only ones who are interesting these days are the two of them. Ever since the girl came, the young couple will carry out some intimate activities when they have nothing to do. My brother also got a tattoo for a while. It took a while to explode. The two reunited after a long absence, and the fire was fierce. It seemed that the ice lump couldn't be held back.

When we were on the shore, I saw that he wanted to kiss the girl's little mouth, but I accidentally interfered with it. This time, he got the chance. Our little brother's kissing skills are top-notch. It was the first time for the little girl. His back and forth made the girl bewildered by him.

Just say that before you came, I asked my little brother to blast him out of the cave outside for several hours. They were in the cave inside, a man and a woman alone. They didn’t know what they were doing. Anyway, they were mumbling. I know how far it's progressing, but I guess it's not as fast as I thought. "After saying that, he laughed mischievously.

After hearing this, Wu Xie said "Ah" in disbelief, and then he couldn't help but smile.

They suddenly lowered their voices, and I felt that the fat man seemed to be saying something strange again. I couldn't hear it very clearly, but I vaguely heard that he was talking about me and my little brother, and I always felt that the meaning didn't sound right, so " "Oh," he said, "Fat man, what are you talking about?"

The fat man said: "Ah? What, what are you talking about? I haven't seen Xiaozhen for half a month. Let's talk about some men's topics. Little girl, please rest with your brother."

I quietly said to the little brother: "What's the topic between men, brother, he said strange things again." The little brother caressed my little face and patted it gently, feeling that he meant to tell me to ignore him.

He continued to lower his voice and whispered to Wu Xie for a while. They both felt strange. After a while, they returned to the topic and heard the fat man say to Wu Xie: "You are here. I thought you saw a giant salamander." I found the mark on my body, and I know how to get in and out, but I didn’t expect that even you don’t know how you got in, which makes me happy for nothing.”

Wu Xie took a breath, thought about this and suddenly said "Oh": "Then since you suddenly fell into coma, why did you let me go along the siphon tide? Why do you think you can get here by following the current? "

The fat man said: "It's a sound. Although I don't know where it is, I know it must be near the mouth of the siphon tide, because at night, the seepage water outside will shrink regularly, and the sound is very obvious, like breathing. Only Such a large amplitude occurs only when you are very close to the siphon tide. If you find a giant salamander and are lured near the mouth of the siphon tide, you may find a crack leading here."

Wu Xie curled his lips and said, "You are too idealistic." After listening, Wu Xie stood up tremblingly. Although he believed what the fat man said, he still wanted to take a closer look at the cave, so he posted a note Look at these stones carefully.

The fat man looked at his stubbornness and sighed and shook his head: "Baby, you are innocent, don't waste your energy. Think about it, damn, my little brother and I have been trapped here for two weeks, and the girl has been here for a week. What can we do after such a long time?
Fatty, I didn’t believe it at all at first. I always thought there might be a secret passage. I kept looking for it, bit by bit. Do you know what it feels like to look at a stone a thousand times?I almost vomited when I saw it at the end, but, no, no. "

Wu Xie felt that Fatty's expression was very painful when he mentioned this, so he said to Fatty: "I just want to see it myself, otherwise I will always feel empty in my heart, just let me see it." Then he struggled to pick it up I walked around the rock wall and looked into the cave carefully.

After looking at it for a while, he muttered: "Where do you think this cave will be located? I see that these chisel marks are very similar to the rock marks at the bottom of the well. They must have been chiseled by the same group of craftsmen. Could they be there? Near the place where I drowned? So we are in the rock formations of the mountains under the lake?" He knocked on the rock, listening to the dull sound of the stone wall, frowning.

The fat man said: "How about it? It's solid, right? My brother is here. If there is really a secret passage, he would have discovered it long ago."

He went to look at the few stone mill-like objects piled in a corner. When he got closer, he saw that those objects seemed to be cast iron stoves with iron slag inside. He said, "So It seems that those iron figurines were made here." He looked to the side and continued: "This is a shelf with a lot of tools, which is quite stable, but what is this? I have never seen this shape before."

He was looking at a clay statue that was about the height of a beer bottle. He tried to reach out and move it, and then asked: "Why is such a small thing so heavy? Is it because my body is completely weak?"

The fat man said: "Well, I've moved it a long time ago. There is no passage below. See how it goes. You should come over and take a rest."

Wu Xie sighed and said, "What kind of statue is this? It doesn't look like Guan Gong or Bodhisattva. Could it be the god of a minority group?" As he spoke, he walked back to the fat man.

The fat man said: "I don't know him."

Wu Xie took off his diving suit, as if this would help him relax a little. He asked the fat man: "So you have been here for so long, do you have any speculations?"

The fat man still shook his head: "I think the most reliable guess is that we are all dead, and it is our ghosts who penetrated the rock and entered this cave.

Otherwise, the purpose of the mischievous thing is not to kill us. Then, no matter what happens next, I think we will not lose our lives. If we want to kill, why bother to change places? "

I said: "Trapped people in a desperate situation without killing them naturally has other purposes, but don't forget, if you put us here, even if the troublemaker doesn't come, we ourselves can't get out. Doesn't that still mean Does he want to kill us? It's just a matter of method, his purpose must be more than just killing."

Wu Xie smiled bitterly and said: "Could a big man suddenly appear here and rape us?" But he shook his head and said: "I think it may not be a good thing for us to be alive now. Are you eating drunken shrimp? Isn't that just for fun? ?”

I tilted my head and said, "Drunk shrimp? Give the shrimp wine, no, soak the shrimp in wine?"

Wu Xie said: "To make drunken shrimp, you just put the washed live shrimp directly into the prepared sauce, marinate it for about two hours, and then you can eat it."

Hearing what he said, I couldn't help but swallow in fear, remembering that I thought everyone was in the monster's belly, but when he said this, the place we stayed was more like a granary where the monster stores food... The fat man took a breath, thinking that it was indeed scary, and became a little depressed, and cursed: "I hate this kind of intangible and incomprehensible things! Do you think the two of us are incompatible with each other? How can we meet together? Do you always go to this kind of brothel? You are really a devil! And Agui really doesn’t know anything, otherwise you can be more careful if you have some tips."

Wu Xie said: "It seems that among the various clues we learned in the village, one piece is completely missing, but where is it missing?"

I pulled the little brother's arm and asked him quietly: "Brother, what did that thing in the tie originally look like?" The little brother shook his head gently.

I said to him: "If I could remember it, wouldn't we be able to find a solution?"

Before the younger brother could answer anything, he heard Wu Xie say: "I think we should sort out what we know from the beginning. This place must be related to this whole thing. If we list everything from the beginning, maybe we can find some hints. "

The fat man blew and pointed at the ground, where there were traces of stone carvings on it, "I've done it before, but I really can't think of it. It doesn't matter if you want to do it. You've read a lot, so you should be better than me. I can do it. My head hurt later!
Girl, I think your little body is much better. I didn’t ask you to think about it because your body didn’t fit properly before. Come and help me sort it out. "

The little brother patted me and asked me to look at it. I got up and walked over. I looked at the words written by the fat man and the circles he drew. I said, "Brother Wu Xie, let's recombine this information."

Wu Xie looked at it and frowned and said: "Fat man, this time is different from the previous encounters. All the messages are fragments. Your special enumeration method is indeed good, but if you write like this, it will only become more and more messy. , of course it will give you a headache." Then he picked up a stone and wrote a few keywords on another piece of ground.

I smiled and said, "Then let's rearrange the arrangement starting from the time we enter the village." As I said that, I read the entry written by the fat man, and Wu Xie re-wrote it with a small stone.

Iron pieces - fragments of iron warriors - the village at the bottom of the lake - I don't know what it is used for - everywhere - seems to be dangerous - emitting a strange smell
Photo - burned

Panma's statement - the archaeological team was transferred - the body was found - the iron pieces were salvaged - the purpose?
Underwater ancient village - Han-style ancient buildings - underground passages - a large number of iron figurines - jade mines?
Closed mine - iron figurines - the same chisel marks
A, B - stinging - coma

C - suffocation - coma

After we finish writing, we cross out all the things that have been determined, and the table becomes:

I don’t know what it’s for – it seems dangerous – it emits a strange smell – its purpose?
——A large number of iron figurines——Jade mine?
Closed mine - iron figurines - the same chisel marks
A, B - stinging - coma

C - suffocation - coma

In this way, everything we can and cannot be certain about is listed.

Wu Xie looked at the re-listed clues and said: "First of all, let's confirm that the owner of the Han-style ancient building in the ancient village is named Zhang. For the time being, we call him the owner of the Zhang family building." As he said this, he glanced at his little brother and followed. He continued: "This person has military merit and is a master of Chinese studies. He may be a local warlord. Of course, he may also have other backgrounds. He has nothing to do with the core of the matter.

In a certain month of a certain year, this person named Zhang's landlord, for some reason - again, we don't need to know this reason - discovered that there was a jade mine under the village.Under the temptation of huge interest, he teamed up with the Yao king here to build a strong Chinese-style building in the Yao village for the use of his men.The buildings are so solidly built, it's obvious that they have been digging here for a very long time, and they may be planning to continue doing so for several generations.

The cave we are in now, judging from the digging marks, should be the mine they dug, at least one of them. "

After saying that, he looked at Fatty and me and asked, "Do you have anything to add?"

The fat man shook his head, and I shook my head, and Wu Xie continued: "Okay, everything is normal and in line with common sense, but this is contradictory to our current situation.

Obviously, the mine we are currently in is completely closed, so I can say that between everything was normal and the current situation, something happened, which caused the mine to undergo inexplicable changes. "

The fat man nodded and said, "Don't be so polite. Damn it, something happened after this hole."

Wu Xie took this as a relatively certain initial hypothesis for this part and wrote it down as a starting point. He also drew a question mark on the side and continued: "What happened here? It will definitely not be a sudden closure, because if so, Someone will be trapped and die."

The fat man said: "No, if you think about it, we came in for no reason. Maybe they found a way out later."

Wu Xie shook his head and said: "What kind of cultural quality did the miners in those days have? They could think of a way, but I couldn't? And even if they could think of it, it wouldn't be too fast. So judging from the tools and physical strength they had at that time, they should be able to do it first. There was an idea of ​​"smashing" it out and leaving a lot of gravel marks on the ground."

I thought to myself, no matter what, it should be the Zhang family who digs this place. That is not an ordinary absenteeism. I listened to their discussion and felt that I couldn’t get in the conversation, so I turned aside and wanted to see his reaction. .

Fatty and Wu Xie both bit their lips and began to think of various hypotheses.

Before they even thought about going around twice, I saw the little brother turning his head slightly and opening his mouth slightly. He said calmly: "The statue in the mine is the Thunder King God of the Yao people. It is a fierce god and is generally not worshiped in public unless Something terrible happened.”
