Tomb robber: Tuantuan, I am a national treasure!
Chapter 159: Strange Case Dead Object 8
After fooling Zhang Rishan, there is no need to worry about the Buddha. After all, the adjutant is not an old man at the village entrance and he is not that idle.
Thick fog filled the air like a heavy curtain, entwining strands of it as if covering the entire world with a mysterious veil.
The fog was so thick that it could not be dissolved, and it surged as if it had substance, making everything blurry and unclear.
Zhang Rishan walked steadily in front, carrying the person. His figure was looming in the fog. His steady explosive power was concealed by his clothes. His steps were firm and powerful, and every step made a slight sound on the solid ground.
His eyes were focused and alert. He kept an eye on the movements around him and glanced at the two people behind him from time to time. He was really worried.
Qi Tiezui and Jinnian walked behind.
Qi Tiezui frowned slightly, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. He looked around from time to time, as if looking for something. His long robe fluttered gently as he walked. There was a little fatigue on his face, but his eyes were still bright.
Jinnian followed him quietly, her figure light and she walked obediently behind him, her long hair slightly tied up, a few strands of hair gently dancing in the mist.
His clear and bright eyes looked around, but he still followed people obediently without any movements, appearing to be honest and obedient.
The streets, which usually have some people around, now seem a little deserted. Everything around seems hazy. The streets shrouded in fog seem to have turned into a mysterious maze that is hard to understand.
The outlines of the buildings were looming in the mist, like sleeping beasts. When they got closer, the shabby corrugated roofs revealed their original appearance. The streets were silent, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing in the air.
"Hey! Isn't this Wang Fa's stall?"
Qi Tiezui's voice suddenly broke the silence, with a hint of surprise in his voice, as if he had discovered a treasure.
His eyes lit up instantly, and his gaze was fixed on a small cart leaning against the wall.
There is also a candied haws graffitied on the bottom of the cart. The bright colors are particularly eye-catching in the hazy fog. The red candied haws pattern against the backdrop of the fog is like a bright light in the darkness, bringing a touch of warmth to people.
Just now, two people got candied haws for free here, and the memory is still fresh in their minds.
The main reason was that he was really hungry. Qi Tiezui smacked his lips and swallowed his saliva. If he had known earlier, he would have eaten it and never pretended again.
Jinnian was attracted by his voice and followed him in small steps. His eyes were also full of curiosity, looking at the cart, tilting his head slightly and turning his perspective.
He looked around but found no one in sight.
"Uncle Wang isn't here?"
Sumire asked in a young voice.
His voice was soft but clear and penetrating, echoing in the silent air.
There was a hint of confusion on her face. She and Qi Tiezui had clearly seen someone here just now, right?
"I don't know where it went, but if I leave it here I won't have to worry about it being stolen," Qi Tiezui said as he walked around the cart.
His movements were cautious, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He touched the cart from time to time, feeling its texture.
He was filled with questions. Why did Wang Fa put the cart here? Wasn't he afraid that it would be stolen? How could he leave his food here when he left? What was this? Could it be that he was scared away by the fog?
An inexplicable sense of uneasiness surged in Jinnian's heart, as if something bad was about to happen. He covered his heart with his hands, and his heart was beating hard.
Just after he finished saying this, he suddenly remembered that it was foggy now, no one would come here, no one dared to go out, who could see it? Moreover, who would steal the candied haws?
Thinking of this, Qi Tiezui guessed that maybe Wang Fa saw the unusual fog and ran away?
"When the adjutant came, did you see Wang Fa? He was a man who looked quite honest and not very old." Qi Tiezui frowned slightly and looked at Zhang Rishan with expectation in his eyes.
As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, trying to make Zhang Rishan understand more clearly the person he was describing.
After hearing what he said, Jinnian couldn't help but look at him. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. It would be strange if he could tell who it was from Qi Tiezui's description.
He shook his head slightly and sighed softly, feeling that Qi Tiezui's description was too vague and abstract.
Zhang Rishan grabbed the black-clothed man's collar and walked over slowly.
His movements were steady. He was carrying an adult man, and it was as if he was not carrying anyone. He walked faster than Qi Tiezui, but he was not very reassured because he was waiting for two people.
After listening to Qi Tiezui's description, Zhang Rishan looked at him inexplicably.
There was a hint of doubt and surprise in his eyes, and he admired Qi Tiezui for thinking that there was no problem.
However, he did not say anything, but told him calmly: "I saw no one when I came."
"Then how did you find us?" Qi Tiezui asked him, touching his chin and leaning on the cart.
He leaned slightly, looking a little lazy.
His eyes rolled, and Wang Fa probably came later? Qi Tiezui's mind was full of speculations. He tried to find some clues from Zhang Rishan's answer and guessed what happened.
Zhang Rishan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said two words coldly: "Intuition."
His expression was still indifferent, as if he had no emotional fluctuations. In fact, he was just a little tired and didn't want to pay attention to anyone. He replied out of politeness. Even if he saw him, he wouldn't recognize Wang Fa?
Qi Tiezui was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He curled his lips and continued to ask, "So amazing?" There was a hint of doubt and ridicule in his voice, as if he didn't believe Zhang Rishan's answer.
Zhang Rishan looked at him helplessly and said, "Eighth Master..." He raised his eyes and guessed that Qi Tiezui might have discovered that he was following two people? There was no other way. He had to watch over the Buddha Master and the Second Master. If these two people were free, they might come by themselves.
Qi Tiezui snorted in dissatisfaction: "As expected of you, you are the Buddha's soldier. You are so powerful!"
After saying that, Qi Tiezui lowered his head to look at Jinnian's whorls of hair. Jinnian was standing there quietly, not joining in the bickering between the two.
Qi Tiezui's mind moved, and he considered whether he should drag people to eat pork elbow. His stomach was growling with hunger, and he felt so hungry that he could eat five steamed buns.
"Jinnian, do you want to eat pork elbow?" Qi Tiezui asked softly, lowering his voice but deliberately letting Zhang Rishan hear it.
Jinnian's eyes lit up and he nodded: "Okay...but it's quite late, is the place still open?"
Qi Tiezui laughed, he straightened up and patted the other person's shoulder proudly.
"It's guaranteed to be open! It's always open no matter how late it is, that's why it's so popular!"
Jinnian responded in a low voice, his eyes wandering. Qi Tiezui said it so well, but he really had never understood it.
Three people, plus the person carried by Zhang Rishan, barely made up four people, and they slowly passed by Wang Fa's shop.
The small shop seemed particularly quiet in the thick fog, as if it had been forgotten by the world. Their footsteps seemed particularly clear in the silence, and every step seemed to step on several people's hearts, but not many people cared.
After taking only two steps, Zhang Rishan suddenly stretched out his hand, raised it, and clenched his fist.
The movement was clean and neat, and his eyes instantly became extremely sharp, scanning the surroundings like an eagle.
This signal immediately alerted the two people behind him. When Qi Tiezui saw his serious look, he took a deep breath.
His heartbeat suddenly quickened, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. He quickly grabbed Jinnian's arm with such force that Jinnian frowned slightly.
They stopped and looked around vigilantly.
The thick fog surrounded them like a white curtain, making it impossible to see the road ahead.
Qi Tiezui's eyes were wide open, full of tension and uneasiness, and his body was trembling slightly. Jinnian was also infected by the tense atmosphere. There was a hint of vigilance in his eyes. He stared closely at the fog around him, and most of his attention was on Zhang Rishan in front of him.
In the thick fog, a vague figure gradually emerged. The figure was like a ghost, looming in the fog.
Qi Tiezui's heart was in his throat. He held Jinnian's hand tightly, fearing any danger and ready to escape at any time.
His palms were also full of sweat, and the wet feeling made him even more nervous. Jinnian could feel Qi Tiezui's nervousness, and he gently patted Qi Tiezui's hands, trying to give him some comfort. His hands were infected by Qi Tiezui's sweat and became a little hot, and he could feel Qi Tiezui sweating nervously.
Jinnian, who was standing next to him, was pulled and looked out from behind Zhang Rishan, watching the blurry figure gradually approaching and beginning to appear. His eyes were full of curiosity and confusion, but he was not afraid, after all, he had Zhang Rishan, whose combat power was top-notch.
But he didn't know who this figure was. He frowned slightly, trying to find some clues from the vague outline. As the figure approached, he felt that it was somewhat familiar.
Finally, they saw the person clearly. The person didn't look nervous at all and just walked towards them carefree.
When the others saw clearly, except Zhang Rishan, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be Wang Fa, the man selling candied haws that Jinnian and Qi Tiezui had just met.
Wang Fa's appearance made them feel relieved, but the doubts in their hearts still remained. Qi Tiezui let go of Jinnian's hand and found a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
He looked at Wang Fa, his eyes full of questions: "Wang Fa, why are you here? Aren't you leaving?"
The trembling in Qi Tiezui's voice had disappeared, and he asked him openly, but his palms were still sweating, and it was obvious that he had not fully recovered from the tension just now.
Wang Fa looked at them with a smile on his face, and there seemed to be something else hidden in that smile.
"Wang Fa, where have you been? Don't you even want your own stall anymore?"
Qi Tiezui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he didn't answer, then continued to ask in a complaining tone, using his sleeve to fan away the mist gathered around him. He was still very tired.
Wang Fa smiled naively and said, "Something happened just now. I almost got lost in the fog. Thank you, Mr. Ba and Young Master, for watching over the stall for me! Why haven't you left yet? Didn't Young Master have enough fun? Oh, isn't this Adjutant Zhang? How come you are interested in coming to such a small place?"
Qi Tiezui waved his hand and said, "I'm not showing you the stall. We haven't been here long, so it's not that long. Oh, by the way, it's so foggy, why don't you go back and still run around here? How dare you?"
“..............Oh my, I just want to make more money!”
Wang Fa paused for a moment, then smoothly continued Qi Tiezui's words, but his eyes quietly looked at Jinnian.
Jinnian looked at the familiar face with a frown on his face, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Seeing Wang Fa looking at him, Jinnian could only follow his words and ask, "Are you short of money?"
Wang Fa quickly took out a string of candied haws from the cart and handed it to Jinnian: "No, no, I don't need any. I just want to make some money, and I want to make more money!"
