Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 329
It's noon, the warmest time of the day, but my heart feels like it's falling into an icehouse!

I saw Yazai standing where Laohan and the others had just stood, holding a bloody dagger in his hand.And his eyes swept across the bushes where we were hiding, wondering if he saw us. In short, his eyes were cold and emotionless, just like the snow covering Jiuhua Mountain.

Lao Yan's anxious expression just now seemed as if the pause button had been pressed, he could only open his mouth wide, and wanted to say something but was too shocked to say it.

Yazai never showed up again after parting ways with us at Savage. We stayed here all day and night. Although we were all attracted by Laohan and the others, we couldn't help worrying about him.I wondered if he had already left Mount Jiuhua, or something happened, but I didn't expect him to appear in front of us suddenly.

"He..." After a long time, Lao Yan uttered a word from between his teeth, but that was all.

The fourth girl hissed, and stared at Yazai: "He is possessed."

"Obsession?" I repeated, then shook my head: "Fourth Miss, it's not that I don't believe you, but this is too unbelievable. There is no such thing as an obsession."

"Just look at it and you'll know." The fourth girl didn't argue with me, she just pointed at the boy and said.

I stared at Yazai nervously. The dagger in his hand made me feel uneasy. The blood was obviously freshly stained, but there was no blood on his body. I wanted to persuade myself that it was the blood of a beast, but my intuition told me No, it was clearly human blood.

After Yazai glanced over, he wandered around the place where Laohan and the others stayed, as if to judge the direction based on the traces left by Laohan and the others.After a while, he seemed to have figured it out, and chased after him with a dagger in hand.

"Now we can keep up." The fourth girl waved.

Lao Yan, who had been waiting for a shot, rushed out in an instant. If it wasn't for the fear that the boy would find out, it would probably be twice as fast.

But Lao Yan's movements were still not as fast as the fourth girl's. As soon as the fourth girl's voice fell, the person was already a foot away, so fast that I didn't even realize it.

As soon as I was about to increase my speed, Miss Qiu stopped me: "Slow down, Fourth Miss has the ability to prevent the little boy from finding out, but you don't. Don't startle the snake."

"Sister Qiu, do you also feel that the boy is possessed by a demon?" I stared at Miss Qiu and said.

Miss Qiu snorted: "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, what matters is what the boy should do. Chang'an, tell me, seeing how the boy looked just now, you don't have the slightest doubt?"

"I didn't!" As if to cover up my true thoughts, I yelled out directly.

Miss Qiu stared at me with a half-smile, obviously saying, look, you don't believe it yourself.

"Sister Qiu, I believe him. Even if he did something wrong, there must be a reason for it." I said every word, and then I ignored Miss Gu Qiu and Kunbu's reaction, and followed Lao Yan's pace. go up.

This pursuit lasted until night, and when I caught up with Lao Yan, I saw him sitting on the ground in a daze. There was no snow here, as if the heavy snow hadn't affected this place at all.

"Lao Yan, what's the matter with you, where is the fourth girl?" Lao Yan's appearance made me a little uneasy, I squatted down and asked softly.

Lao Yan glanced at me, his eyes were red: "Chang'an, if the boy does something out of line, you...you promise me, you will finish him with your own hands."

I froze in place, I thought Lao Yan was telling me to forgive Yazai, but...

"Impossible!" I sneered, "Old Yan, you all think I'm a fool, don't you?"

One or two of them are acting in front of me, isn't it because I have the shortest time in 701 and it is the easiest to fool me?

Lao Yan was stunned, and after a while he smiled bitterly and said: "Chang'an, what are you talking about, how can we treat you as a fool, do you still not believe what I explained before?"

"That's right, I just don't believe it!" My gaze was fixed on Lao Yan like a nail: "But since you are willing to explain, I don't want to pursue it. You are my master and the person who brought me into 701, so I would like to believe that there must be a reason for you. But Lao Yan, don’t forget the circumstances under which we met."

"Eternal Night Ancient Country..." Lao Yan murmured.

I nodded: "That's right, you haven't forgotten what happened in the vast desert of Lop Nur, have you?"

"For the sake of the Eternal Night Kingdom, people from 701 sacrificed two entire teams at the beginning, and then I was the only soldier led by Company Commander Chen who died. As for Blind Man and the others, none of them are left, and even the corpses can't come back, so you What are you going to tell me, tell me that human life is more important than mission?"

Lao Yan looked at me disappointedly: "I made it clear to you when you came in. When you enter 701, your life is no longer yours, and you must be ready to give it up at any time. disappointment."

"Are you disappointed? Lao Yan, do you know that what you have done has disappointed me." I sneered and said, "I can dedicate my life to 701 at any time, but what about you? You always have to tell me why? I I don’t want to be calculated by you anytime, just disappear like this, I need to know why I died.”

Lao Yan stared at me with deep eyes that could not see the bottom. He took out a cigarette for a long time, lit it tremblingly, inhaled half of it in one gulp, and then exhaled heavily, the smoke ring was very choking.

"Chang'an, you are still too young." He said softly.

With just one sentence, I knew that he really had a secret hidden in his heart. What he just explained in the bushes was not all false, and it could even be said to be all true, but he definitely avoided the important and ignored it.For example, why did he know that the fourth girl had been following behind, and why did he know that there was a mass grave there?

And what happened to the 'corpse' that has fled so far?

I think he knows what's on his mind, but for some reason he doesn't say a word.

The cigarette butt flickered in the gradually darkening woods, and Lao Yan sucked the other half in one breath, and then slowly stood up.

The long squatting made him stagger a bit, but he quickly stood firm, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Chang'an, one day you will understand why I did this, to save the white team from the execution ground. From the moment I was there, my whole life was given over to the country. The others, no matter how precious I was, had to come next.”

"Including Yazai?" What he said was touching, but I still couldn't accept that none of us in this group could die for the national treasure.

All I want is an obvious sacrifice.

Lao Yan probably didn't expect me to ask such a straightforward question, and his face turned pale for a moment: "You know?"

"I don't know, what can I know?" I sneered, "I just know that Yazai won't change suddenly."

Although they have been telling me about Yazai's life experience and that there are dangerous factors in his blood, I still don't believe that Yazai has changed so much in an instant.And Lao Yan, who has always spoiled him, let him run around in such a dangerous forest by himself, so I guessed that the reason why Yazai did this was because of Lao Yan.

It's because Lao Yan used him!
