dragon hunter

Chapter 266
The treasure hunting trip on the Yellow River has ended for more than half a month. When I returned home, the days were calm and uneventful.

Although there are still some mysteries that have not been solved, I don't expect too much to return safely.

The bronze fragment that drew the dragon vein map of Kyushu was taken away by the second uncle. He already had one in his hand. After getting the second fragment, his interest greatly increased, and he burrowed in the pile of ancient books all day long, hoping to restore Kyushu. The clues of dragon veins.

Ghost detective Xu Yixin spends his time at the office, leaving early and returning late every day, rarely seeing each other.

Li Xiaolei rushed back to the provincial capital with some photographic materials, hoping to edit a wonderful column.

Fatty Wang is a coward who is obsessed with money. Before leaving, he hid a few private goods and made a small fortune.

When I was free, Zhen Qingyi and I spent more time together, chatting and walking like a normal couple every day.

I enjoy this peaceful life very much, but fate is unpredictable, and a phone call broke this peaceful life.

The call was from Lang Ying. I hadn't contacted her for a while, and I was a little surprised to receive a call from her.

On the phone, she didn't say much, just vaguely said that she encountered some difficulties and needed my help.

After I asked again and again, she finally revealed that the trouble this time should be related to the "dragon".

I was stunned at the time. The creature "dragon" only existed in legends, and even in the fragmentary scriptures, there was no mention of this creature.

Lang Ying has been through hardships with me, and now she is in trouble, and I have no reason to ignore it.

Besides, I am also very curious about the "dragon" she mentioned.

I didn't hide this matter from Zhen Qingyi, and I was a little embarrassed when I even spoke.

One thing I really admire about Zhen Qingyi is that she is jealous occasionally, but when it comes to business, she is very generous.

After listening to what I said, she didn't hesitate, and without further ado, she helped me prepare my luggage, and said that she and Lang Ying were also friends, and that Lang Ying encountered difficulties, so we couldn't just stand by and watch.

Because Zhen Qingyi has accumulated some things after going out for a while, she can't go with me this time.

Before leaving, I thought about it, and I still called Fatty Wang, that coward.

It's not that he was expecting any help from him, but I heard Ghost Tan Xu said that this coward recently got two coins in his hand, which is very flamboyant, and he is already a little addicted to gambling.

Let's be friends, I naturally don't want Fatty Wang to go astray and forcefully drag him onto the train regardless of his objections.

Lang Ying's family is located in a small town in southern Yunnan, near the border.

We got off the train in the city of southern Yunnan Province, and as soon as we walked out of the train station, we saw Lang Ying standing beside a red Mercedes, waving to us on tiptoe.

Before I approached, Lang Ying greeted me and gave me a warm hug.

Fatty Wang, a coward, had a fat and oily face, and wanted to give him a hug, but Lang Ying avoided him with a smile.

This guy was immediately stimulated, until he was sitting in the car, he was still muttering things like eccentricity.

I sat in the co-pilot seat and asked Lang Ying about the details of this incident. Lang Ying smiled wryly, started the car, and said that it was hard to explain, and let us get the wind first.

The Langying family has a big business, and they also have properties in the provincial capital. In a courtyard with a unique shape, I saw the old Lang Xingsong.

Lang Xingsong was as straight as a pine, standing at the gate of the courtyard, and laughed loudly when we first met, and said: "Brother Zhang, when we parted last time, I said that the next time we meet, you will not return if you are not drunk. How can you do that?" Can't hide."

I held each other's hand with both hands, shook it, and said that I can't drink very well, and I'm afraid I won't be able to drink with him to my heart's content.

In short, no matter how I tried to evade it, the first day I arrived in southern Yunnan ended in drunkenness.

Early the next morning, I opened my sleepy eyes and saw myself lying in a strange room.

Then, messy memories flooded into my mind, reminding me that I am now in southern Yunnan.

I put on my clothes, walked out of the room, and saw Lang Xingsong standing in the yard, doing Tai Chi.

In the next room, Fatty Wang's familiar snoring sound could be heard. This coward would probably not wake up if he didn't sleep until the sun was up.

I greeted Lang Xingsong with a smile, and signaled him to leave me alone, wandered around, and walked out of the yard.

I bumped into Lang Ying who was walking towards this side, I grabbed him and asked the reason for this incident.

At the dinner table yesterday, I was too busy drinking, but I forgot to ask about the troubles Lang Ying's family encountered.

Lang Ying pointed to the stone bench under the shade of the tree, and said that things are more complicated, so let's sit down and talk.

I sat on the stone bench and listened to Lang Ying talk about the whole thing, the details before and after.

The Lang family belongs to the family of Humai, whose ancestors have been rooted in the south of Yunnan for generations, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and great fortune.

However, with the passage of time, the original pulse-protecting family has evolved into a large commercial family.

As for the dragon veins they guard, because of the vicissitudes of life and the changes in the world, even they themselves can't tell the specific location of the dragon veins.

However, what happened this time has little to do with the dragon veins, but a series of strange things caused by road construction.

Because of the convenient location, the Lang family has been in the jadeite business, and even has the reputation of the jadeite king.

And in their hands, there is a road leading directly to Myanmar, which is an old road with a history of more than 100 years.

With the years of disrepair, this highway, which has undertaken the heavy responsibility of transportation, has become unusable.

Therefore, the Lang family decided to invest in the renovation of this old road, and some weird things started because of the renovation of the road.

"You mean, at the very beginning, there were road builders who kept going for no apparent reason?" I asked Lang Ying, who was beside me.

Lang Ying nodded, saying that at the beginning, this matter was not taken seriously, because the project was outsourced, and the missing workers were naturally dealt with by the construction party.

However, such strange things happened one after another, until someone discovered the body of a worker in a ditch, and then realized the seriousness of the matter.

The death of the worker was very miserable. Someone had dug out his heart, and his chest was bloody and bloody.

The work of road construction was hard work, but now even safety cannot be guaranteed, and many workers simply went on strike and quit.

The renovation of that road has come to a standstill, and even the transportation of the rough emerald stones has been greatly affected because the road was cut off and vehicles were impassable.

If the road is not repaired for one day, the Lang family's emerald business will be affected by one more day, and the loss is astronomical.

So, the Lang family spent three times the price and hired a new construction team to work overtime to repair the road.

But the strange thing happened again, and this time it was even more bizarre. Some workers actually dug up a strange skeleton. Judging from the appearance, it was very similar to the legendary "dragon".

On the night when the "keel" was dug out, there was a sudden downpour, lightning and thunder. No one dared to go out in such bad weather.

In the early morning of the next day, the rain was a little light. When some workers were inspecting the road, they found that the skeleton suspected of being a dragon had mysteriously disappeared.

"Could it be stolen by someone overnight?" I expressed my guess.

"The bones are huge, and there is no traffic over there, so it is difficult to move them overnight." Lang Ying shook her head.

I was silent, because I didn't see the real thing, and I couldn't make a judgment about how the mysterious keel disappeared.

"Moreover, some nearby villagers said that they saw a huge black shadow at night, soaring into the sky and flying into the clouds." Lang Ying said hesitantly.

I have experienced many bizarre and strange things, and I dare not draw conclusions about whether there are really dragons in the world.

"Then later, how is the road renovation going?" I asked.

"After the corpse suspected to be a keel disappears, people die on that road every night, and the way of death is even more strange. The most important thing is that the corpses will disappear inexplicably. Now the road is completely deserted." Lang Ying replied with a wry smile. .

I frowned. This matter is complicated and confusing, and there are too many places that cannot be explained clearly. If I want to know more specific situations, I have to go and see for myself.

"You also know that our pulse-protecting family also has some secret techniques, but they are of no use to the tricky things on that road." Lang Ying sighed.

I pondered for a moment, and proposed to visit the old road. Lang Ying stood up, said she was going to prepare, and walked out of the courtyard.

When I returned to the room, Lang Xingsong had just finished a set of Taijiquan. When he saw me, he asked if Lang Ying had told me everything about the situation.

I nodded and said that I got a general idea, but I didn't have a clue.

"This matter is really weird. If it wasn't for nothing, I wouldn't ask Brother Zhang for help." Lang Xingsong concealed his melancholy between his brows.

"I can't guarantee that I will be able to see anything, but I will try my best." I walked over and patted the other person on the shoulder.

"You also know that last time, because of the internal conflicts in the family, it has already hurt a little. If this matter cannot be resolved quickly, it will be very difficult for me and Ah Ying to do it." Lang Xingsong returned to his previous cheerfulness.

I don't know how to answer, Lang Xingsong is actually a very proud man, if he had no choice, he would not ask for help.

"Anyway, you have to be careful, it's so weird over there, I almost suffered a disadvantage." Lang Xingsong warned worriedly.

I nodded to show that I was clear, after all, I have seen some of the methods of the Mai Mai family.

"This time, Ah Ying will go with you. There are some changes in the head office, and I have to stay in charge." Lang Xingsong said a little embarrassed.

I waved my hand and said it doesn't matter, brother, you can rest assured to control the overall situation, and I will investigate the matter on the highway.

Just as he was talking, Fatty Wang stared sleepily, opened the door, and kept yawning.

"I woke up early in the morning and felt very hungry. Is there anything to eat?" Fatty Wang asked, rubbing his stomach.

Looking at that guy's shiny face, I feel ashamed for him, eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and only this kind of heartless guy can do it for granted.

Lang Xingsong didn't mind smiling, and said that he had already prepared it, and asked Fatty Wang to wash up quickly.

Fatty Wang is also top quality. He just wiped his face with cold water, said that he had washed it, and muttered to eat quickly.

I saw that there was still gum hanging from the corners of his eyes, and I wished I could find a crack in the ground to get in, it was so embarrassing.
