Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 42 The Descendants of the Dragon Clan (4)
At this time, everyone looked at me, and Ma Tianxing said, "I just want to ask you if you saw any weird phenomena at night?"

My heart moved, and I said, "No, why don't you guys be notified!"

After all, we sat next to Ma Tianxing, and everyone was not hesitant, and each started to busy himself with his own affairs. I saw that they were all a certain distance away from us, so I lowered my voice and said, "Say, what do you mean?"

Ma Tianxing said: "Everyone is a buddy, and I didn't want to tell the truth. But just because I am a buddy, I can't just hide it from you, so after thinking about it, I still think it is necessary to tell you."

I said: "How can there be so much nonsense, hurry up and say it before they pay attention to us."

Ma Tianxing said: "It's okay to say, but first of all, you can't get crazy, even if you want to, it can't be now. Secondly, you must not tell anyone that I told you about this."

I said: "Okay, I promise you, let's talk."

Ma Tianxing turned his eyes to look at He Zhuang very vigilantly, and lowered his voice, which was already low enough, to the lowest level: "Do you know, last night I saw your daughter-in-law get up to hold He Zhuang's hand in the middle of the night, and then the two of them Sitting together, I don't know what to whisper, I don't think the relationship is simple. Luo Zi, whether Xiaoxue likes you or Dazhuang, you have to figure it out."

What he said was undoubtedly a thunderbolt to me. Could it be that I was betrayed before anything happened?Just to be on the safe side, I asked, "How do you know? Did you stare at this matter last night without sleeping?"

Ma Tianxing said: "I have insomnia, do you still remember the incident when the leader asked me to watch Ino? He already knew that I couldn't sleep at night, so he made fun of me, otherwise why didn't he pick on you? "

After hearing this, I guess there will be one more person with insomnia at night, but I immediately asked: "So big and strong, how could he not know?"

Ma Tianxing said: "I don't need to talk about my illness. I told the team leader because I sometimes need to take leave for medical treatment. You have been with me for six or seven years. Don't you know the same?"

After listening to it, I didn't know what it was like in my heart. Could it be that Ah Xue made an excuse to come with me this time, but in fact, the person she really likes in her heart is He Zhuang?Of course, this is not impossible. After all, only He Zhuang can match her with her skill. Just walk two steps behind.Thinking of this, I am getting more and more sad.

Ma Tianxing also saw that I was not in the right mood, and said: "Brother, don't take it too seriously, maybe I'm just thinking about it, or you should pay attention to yourself, and don't talk about it now."

I got up silently and walked to the camels, sorting things that didn't need to be sorted absent-mindedly. Suddenly, I clearly saw the sand grains around the camels start to flow rapidly, and I thought to myself: Not good.There was a loud bang, and a snake head bigger than Mo Yun came out from the sand. My liver and gallbladder were torn, and I sat down on the ground. The huge snake head opened its bloody basin to me without hesitation Dakou, no one can save me at this time, it seems that I will die here inexplicably today.Suddenly, a long black arrow shot towards the snake's head, and there was a crisp sound, and the arrow jumped out.Although the strange snake didn't suffer any harm, it got back into the sand immediately and disappeared without a trace.And on the sand dunes not far away, I saw a man in a black leather jacket, his face was covered with a thick cloth scarf, only showing a pair of piercing eyes.

I felt a strong force dragging me back. I turned around and looked at He Zhuang. I don’t know why I felt disgusted with him at this moment. Taking the opportunity of getting up, I shook off his hand, and Axue also ran away. I came to my side and said, "Brother Luo, are you okay?" I shook my head, walked back and sat on the ground, feeling scared and depressed in my heart, but the masked man didn't stop at all, and immediately jumped off the sand dune, instantly Disappeared.

Everyone thought I was frightened, and came up to comfort me one after another. I waved my hand to indicate that it was okay. Axue was always by my side, but I didn't know what was going on in my heart, anyway, I didn't have the desire to talk to her.

Academician Qi said: "I didn't expect that the earth dragon Xiaogu Renbao mentioned really existed. Did you see it clearly just now? I don't think there will be such a huge snake in the world. It may really be some kind of inexplicable creature, but why is it? Don't attack those camels?"

His words caught our attention. It is indeed the case. According to the place where the snake head haunts, the camel is actually the closest to it, but it actually jumped over the camel and attacked me. Can't eat too much?What's even more strange is that none of the camels were frightened, and they all knelt on the ground leisurely, chewing something leisurely.

Academician Qi said: "Little Gu Renbao, can you explain why this snake doesn't attack the camels?"

Little Gu Renbao said: "I don't know about this, but it is true that camels are rarely attacked by earth dragons in the desert. I have never heard of them. Maybe they are born with the protection of the desert god. "

Academician Qi said: "This is incredible. I didn't expect there to be such a strange creature here. There is also the archer. I don't know who it is. Why did it appear in this place by such a coincidence? I tend to think that all of this is not It's a coincidence, but something premeditated, or the man in black knows exactly when the earth dragon will appear, or he has been following us, but we didn't notice it."

Head Chen gave a noncommittal "Yes", but did not express any opinion. Academician Qi waited for a while and said: "Xiao Chen, tell me your opinion, this is your job."

Head Chen said: "Although this inexplicable creature has appeared, I don't rule out the possibility that it is a mirage, so I don't want to say too much until I figure out the entity."

Academician Qi said: "This can't be a mirage. From the appearance of the earth dragon to the shooting of the man in black, all the processes are very natural. I don't think God will arrange for such a dramatic mirage to appear, otherwise it would be a hell .”

Head Chen said: "I think so anyway, but why I persist so much, I can't tell for a while, let's see in two days."

8. Ashue's Secret
We didn't dare to stay longer on this strange sandy land, so we set off immediately.But resting at night is difficult. After all, there is something under the sand, which is something I have seen with my own eyes.Just when everyone was hesitating about this matter, Captain Chen said: "You can rest easy, it doesn't matter."

Ma Tianxing said: "What is the basis for the leader to be so sure?"

Head Chen said: "The biggest basis is that I am on guard tonight. If you can't believe this, then you are the only one who came here in person."

Ma Tianxing said: "Of course I believe in the leader, but don't threaten me with this. It's not a big deal if you don't sleep all night."

I involuntarily looked towards A Xue, and saw that she was staring at He Zhuang's back, my heart immediately sank.I tossed and turned that night and didn't fall asleep. Although I knew that Axue had nothing to do with me, it was her own right to love whoever she loved, and there was nothing in me worthy of her favor.It wouldn't be too unexpected if she didn't like me, but the last thing she should do is to use me as a cover, and then have a secret relationship with He Zhuang. .

The next morning, I, the head of the group, and Ma Tianxing were all on the road with dark circles around our eyes. On the way, the head of the group deliberately distanced himself from Xiao Gu Renbao, and then said to us: "This person is weird, I think something is wrong."

Ma Tianxing said: "What's the matter, I think this person is quite good."

Head Chen said: "Don't talk about people, even his batch of camels have problems. Seeing such a big snake, and being able to scare the Tibetan mastiff like that, they are not messed up at all. Do you think it's normal?"

Ma Tianxing said: "To be honest, I really didn't think of this problem the day the dog was scared. It really is, so why is it like this?"

Head Chen said: "It's hard to say, but one thing is for sure, that is, these camels are definitely not ordinary camels. Similarly, the people who raise the camels should not be ordinary people."

Ma Tianxing said: "Then what should we do, we can't be fish on the chopping board?"

Head Chen said: "Of course not, so what I'm telling you now is to pay attention to that guide and don't let him play tricks. Also, the man in black appeared very strange yesterday. Academician Qi is right. , he must have been following us all the time, but I didn't want Xiao Gu Renbao to know any of my thoughts, so I played a sloppy eye, and I think these two people may have some kind of connection."

Ma Tianxing said: "Then it seems that they should be two good comrades, because the man in black saved Luo Zi."

Head Chen seemed to shake his head helplessly and said: "Damn, I really don't understand this matter, anyway, don't worry about the good guys and the bad guys, just watch carefully, we will beat the bad guys if they are bad guys, and if the good guys do good things to us, we will also You have to know it in your heart so that you can repay others in the future."

At this time, Academician Qi turned his head and said to us: "What are you discussing, why are you walking so slowly?"

Head Chen didn't reveal anything, and the camel moved forward with his legs clamped between his hips. I also followed behind the head of the group, and I could keep a distance from A Xue, but I seemed to feel that she and He Zhuang were very close together from the corner of my eye. close.

Head Chen said: "Luo Zi, you seem to be in a bad mood, did you get scared yesterday?"

I gave an absent-minded "Yeah", and the head Chen said: "The most fearful thing for us to do this is to be frightened. If we leave mental illness, it will be troublesome. Luo Zi, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me. Me, don't hold on."

I said, "Understood, don't worry."

All day long I followed behind the big troops dejectedly. At night, I thought it was Ma Tianxing who was on duty at night, but the regiment leader Chen said: "Let's forget it, Xiao Ma, and we will take turns."

Ma Tianxing said: "It's still the leader who cares about me."

Of course I know the reason, because Ma Tianxing suffers from insomnia, he can only sleep for one or two hours a day at most, and if he stays up for another night, no one can bear it. One day is me, and the next day it will be He Zhuang.I didn't need to force myself that night, because I couldn't sleep at all. I lived in a tent with Ma Tianxing, and found that he was also staring blankly.In the middle of the night, sure enough, I heard the rustling of the tent on the other side of Axue, and then the sound of slight footsteps.

With my heart in my throat, I quietly got up and pulled down the zipper of the tent a little, only to see that Ashe had already walked to He Zhuang, and He Zhuang seemed a little impatient.He got up as if he was about to leave, but Axue grabbed his arm. I saw jealousy and felt extremely sad.I don't know what Ah Xue said, but He Zhuang's voice is thicker, although it is very low, but in the silent night, he can hear it very clearly: "Then you prove it to me." Then the scene left me dumbfounded. When the situation came up, Ah Xue actually pulled off the clothes on her shoulders. Although her back was facing me, I knew she must be facing He Zhuang naked at this time. In fact, the mind has already exceeded my expectations.

He Zhuang also seemed to be dumbfounded. His eyes stayed on A Xue's body for a long time, and finally turned his head away. Without saying a word, he sat on the ground with his head raised to the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ah Xue put on her clothes and said, "Am I right?"

He Zhuang hesitated for a while, and finally nodded. Axue smiled sweetly. She had never smiled at me like this before, and walked back to her tent, while He Zhuang just stared at the night sky for a long time without moving.I don't know when I lay down, but I kept my eyes open until dawn.

When he got up, Ma Tianxing said, "Brother, I didn't expect the two of them to be such people. I support you."

I folded my sleeping bag and said, "There's nothing to say. No one has said that Axue followed me. Whoever she likes is her freedom."

Ma Tianxing said: "That's a good word, but she can't use your words to follow us, and then hook up with others..." He probably felt that the words were inappropriate, so he changed his tone after thinking, "Anyway, she This kind of practice is immoral, I thought this little girl was quite simple, but I didn't expect that she is also a master."

I was so annoyed that I raised Ma Tianxing's sniper rifle and said to him: "Brother Ma, can you say a few words less, this matter has nothing to do with me from today on, okay?"

Ma Tianxing said: "Okay, I was wrong, okay! Don't talk about it, we still have to hurry."

Everyone was stunned by my sudden outburst. After all, I raised my gun at my comrade. Head Chen said, "Luo Zi, what are you crazy about?"

I was so angry that I whipped the camel and started to run first. At that time, we were in the process of going uphill. When I got to the top of the huge sandy slope, I was stunned when I looked down.

Downhill on the opposite side are a dozen or so knights dressed in white, all of whom are stout and brave. Their crotches are not camels, but horses. When they saw me, they all looked at me in unison. Come.

Captain Chen and the others seemed to see that something was wrong with me, so they urged the camels to catch up. When they saw the people on the opposite side, they couldn't help being puzzled, but the other party didn't seem to respond.Head Chen said: "I warn you, don't act rashly if you have nothing to do, I don't know what this group of people are doing."

After a while, Xiao Gu Renbao and Academician Qi also caught up, but when Xiao Gu Renbao saw these people, he was not as calm as we were, and his expression changed greatly: "It's bad, we met Here comes the Marauders."

Head Chen said: "What is a predator?"

Little Gu Renbao said with a fearful expression on his face: "It's just the robbers cruising in the desert. Many explorers who came to the desert actually died at the hands of these people."

Ma Tianxing said: "It's been socialism for so many years, why are there still green forest heroes?"

Head Chen said: "Don't talk nonsense, pay attention to these people."

I saw a man pull out a shining machete from his waist first, pointing at us, the rest of the people drew out their knives, they rushed towards us screaming, and the head Chen said: "It's amazing!" It's weird, why do you meet martial arts masters who use cold weapons?"

After finishing speaking, he took out a pistol from his pocket, Ma Tianxing picked up his sniper rifle, and He Zhuang pointed his bow and arrow at them.Needless to say, this group of desert bandits really possessed the heroic spirit of being a hero who knows the current affairs. The one who led the charge raised his hand, and they stopped halfway up the mountain. It is estimated that this person may be the boss of the gang of thieves.He put the knife back into its sheath, jumped out and pointed at little Gu Renbao and said something in Uighur, and the two chatted for a long time under our noses.The boss was getting more and more annoyed from the analysis of his expression, but he glanced at the gun in Chen's hand, did not let the impulsive devil control himself, but chose to retreat rationally, but before he left, he still looked back at us. He glanced at him, his eyes were resentful and vicious.

Ma Tianxing said: "It's really strange, can't we blame us for not being able to grab something?"

Head Chen said: "What did you say to him just now, so loudly?"

Little Gu Renbao said: "He asked me to hand over all your things. I said it was impossible, so he threatened me, but I am not afraid of them."

Head Chen said: "Looking at your young age, you are quite courageous, so will these bandits come back again?"

Little Gu Renbao said: "It's hard to say, but judging from their methods of committing crimes, they should not give up unless they have other goals."

Head Chen said: "I was thinking that the man in black might belong to them, and he followed us just to grab something."

I said, "If that's the case, why did he save me?"
