Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 655 Burning Forest

The wooden house is not very high, and it can be climbed up with three or two steps.

The wood under my feet creaked and might fall down at any time. I looked around and saw black fist-sized things on the roofs of several wooden houses.

They were crawling around, maybe they sensed movement, they stopped suddenly, and then looked at me in unison, with eyes the size of rice grains, I thought it was a little funny.

Tick, tick, tick...

Suddenly they ran around like crazy, and spread out along the eaves and gaps very quickly, and then the entire roof was empty, as if nothing had appeared.

If it weren't for the ticking sound of that thing crawling by, I really thought I was hallucinating again.

"Chang'an, what are you doing climbing up the roof at night?"

Suddenly, Yazai's voice came from below, which scared me so much that I almost fell off the roof.

I went down the ladder, when Yazai saw the gun in my hand, his expression changed: "What happened?"

I shook my head. Those things might just be special creatures born here, and they are not aggressive. They will run away as soon as people appear, and there is no need for me to chase them.

Yazai looked at me suspiciously, seeing that I really didn't say anything, he just let it go, and dragged me into the house.

Only then did I realize that it's the middle of the night, right?
I woke up when I heard the ticking sound, why is this kid?
"Chang'an..." As soon as he came in, he lay down on the bed and let out a long sigh. I pushed him and told him to lie down, then I sat on the side and asked him what's wrong?
Yazai had a bitter face, but because he put on the sunglasses again, he looked a little weird.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say!" I raised my hand and punched him.

Yazai crossed his hands under his head, his eyes should be facing me, and then said slowly: "Master, he may know what I mean."

I groaned, then realized what he was referring to.

"How did he know?" I asked in surprise.

In the past few days, Yazai's eyes are all on Hou Chengcheng, and he has never talked to me about Professor Xu's return to the National Archaeological Team. I guess he has put this matter behind him for the time being. As for being discovered.

Yazai sighed, saying that ginger is still old and spicy, I just asked him what he thinks of 701?He got my mind by following the clues, hey, how do you think he knew.

I looked at him like an idiot. Professor Xu has been in 701 for decades, and I have been with him for more than ten years. I guess I have never asked this question. Now I suddenly ask. If Professor Xu is not following the vine It was only when I felt his mind that I felt there was a problem.

"Tell me that you are usually so smart, how come you are no different from a fool in this matter?" I also imitated him and sighed, it's okay, you don't have to worry about this matter now, since Professor Xu knows , I guess you don't need to worry about it anymore.

Professor Xu is not an indecisive person. Although he is usually gentle and gentle, he is quick and accurate every time he makes a move. He may not be able to pull back the things he has decided.If he doesn't know that Yazai and I are making trouble behind the scenes, it might still be possible. Now that he knows, he really can only look at his own thoughts, and the thoughts of other people really don't matter.

Yazai slapped himself, saying that he did not expect such a result, it should be said that he thought Professor Xu would not be so sensitive.

"It's over, Professor Xu is not a fool, he naturally knows how to choose, and you think Lao Yan doesn't know about this?" I smiled.

As Professor Xu's old partner, I don't believe that Lao Yan didn't get wind of it. Maybe Lao Yan's words can be more effective than me and the boy who spent half a day working hard.

"Then I don't care?" Yazai let out a cry.

I gave him a blank look: "Don't worry about it for now, of course we still have to pay attention to Professor Xu's thoughts, sometimes it's okay to go with the flow."

Yazai tossed and turned on the bed, and then said: "Do you think there is still a possibility for me and Hou Chengcheng?"

"Get out!" I cursed directly.

Dare to feel that his thoughts are not on Professor Xu at all. Before this problem is solved, he has already thought of another one.

Seeing my attitude, the boy shook his head in a funny way, saying that you are not interesting at all, but just chatting, I don't believe that you can miss the fourth girl?

My heart trembled when I heard the words "fourth girl", and then I became more silent.

I didn't even find out about the fourth girl, so what's the use of thinking, at least I know who Hou Chengcheng is and where to find her. If Hou Chengcheng is interested in him, there will always be a day of success.

But me and the fourth girl?
I don't believe it anymore, I just hope she can be fine.

Yazai and I couldn't talk anymore, and Yazai said something casually and then left, leaving me tossing and turning in the room, unable to sleep.

Ugh……

I sighed deeply and just stared at the roof until dawn.

As soon as the day dawned, Lao Yan told everyone to pack up and set off quickly. We were delayed here for a long time, and no one was in the mood to stay any longer. Only Jing Sheng tried to stop us once again.

But he couldn't stop it, so we set off on time.

This deserted town is only half a day away from Lishan Mountain. Although the road is not easy to walk, it is better than the road in the passage.

So we didn't bother, and arrived at the foot of Mount Li before noon.

Lishan Mountain is a group of mountains. Standing at the foot of Lishan Mountain, you can clearly see a dark place, which is obviously the place where it was burned.

"The area burned by the fire is not that big..." Lao Yan sighed.

Lao Yan and I exchanged glances. It is absolutely impossible for Jing Sheng, who is far away in the abandoned town, to see the extent of the fire.

Jing Sheng also found it strange, saying that he clearly saw the flames soaring into the sky, and also heard the shrill screams in the flames, it shouldn't be this kind of fire.

I looked at him, is it really his fantasy?
"Go to Lishan." Lao Yan didn't pursue too much. Since Jingsheng has been accepted by Kunbu as an apprentice, he is also a member of 701. We must first try to trust him. Of course, proper precautions are not impossible .

Before entering Lishan Mountain, we rechecked our luggage and discarded some unused ones in place. Fortunately, our weapons in front were not worn out much, and it was enough to deal with special situations.

After resting at the foot of Lishan Mountain for less than 10 minutes, we headed towards the place that was burned.

This place is not far from the foot of the mountain. It is estimated that we can arrive before night. We must find out the cause of the fire before we can continue to set off.

This time, Ms. Qiu and Kumbu took the lead, Yazai accompanied Professor Xu, followed by Hou Chengcheng and Jingsheng, Lao Yan, me, and Gopher followed behind, looking back at Yazai from time to time Hou Chengcheng couldn't help being a little funny.

"He's still a child at heart." Lao Yan laughed.

The gopher let out a hey, and said that the nature of a child is not that we old antiques have not experienced this.It's normal for a boy to behave like this. Young people must have the enthusiasm of young people. What's the fun of living like a little old man like Chang'an every day?
"Senior, it's not good for you to hurt people face to face, right?" I smiled.

The gopher patted my shoulder and said nothing.
