Early the next morning, we continued to walk downstream along the river. The big eyes are more than 150 kilograms. Zhang Ling and I have no problem carrying him for a while. After a long time, it will be a little difficult, so we can only stop and go. At about noon, I suggest to make a raft, and then take the raft to walk, so that the wine does not have to raise your eyes.
Zhang Ling and Xue Xiaomei thought that the idea was good, so we immediately started to make a raft.
After spending half a day, we finally built a raft more than three meters long and two meters wide, and set up a tent on the raft.
We sharpened our knives without accidentally cutting wood. The next morning, we went down the river on a raft and walked more than 30 kilometers in only half a day. Day and night, on the third day, the river began to branch continuously. After entering the river branch, the river water did not see less, because other river water filled in.
During this period, we encountered the man-eating tree mentioned by Du Tingwei.
As Du Tingwei said, the man-eating tree grows very tall. On the branches, there are many vine-like long beards hanging down, and many animal bones hang on the vines. The bottom of the tree is wet, like a layer of oil. same.
However, the cannibal tree poses no threat to us, because we did not go ashore to see what happened in order to satisfy our curiosity.
Without knowing how many branches of the river we entered, on the fifth day, we entered a very wide river. After another half day, the jungle behind us began to become thinner and thinner.
After another half day, we encountered a medium-sized cargo ship. We only found out after boarding that we were on the Chao Phraya River.
Before coming to Thailand, I had made a nasty supplement on the geography of Thailand.
The Chao Phraya River is the largest river in Thailand, running through the entire territory of Thailand from north to south. It originated in the Shan State Plateau in northwestern Thailand and finally poured into Bangkok Bay. It has a total length of 1,352 kilometers. The capital of Thailand, Bangkok, is located at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River.
Master Wang Laitu said that he came from the southeast of Thailand. If we also came ashore from Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, it would undoubtedly be the same as Master Wang Laitu’s itinerary back then. This shows that Wang Laitu’s master also left the jungle through the Chao Phraya River.
The Chao Phraya River is 1,352 kilometers long and runs through the whole of Thailand from south to north. Why does Wang Laitu’s master have to go ashore at the end of the Chao Phraya River
Instead of going ashore along the way
Regarding this point, I am not very clear. It may be that the two banks of the Chao Phraya River were in a state of recklessness when they were not developed. It may also be that Master Wang Laitu was injured and needed to recuperate and could not go ashore.
But for whatever reason, Wang Laitu’s master was on the shore of Bangkok Bay, which is absolutely correct. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the castle is in the jungle in the northeast of Thailand, but he said it is in the southeast.
We took a freighter to Bangkok Bay. After we got ashore, we immediately sent the big eye to the hospital for treatment. After more than six hours of surgery, the doctor told us that it was a comminuted fracture of the femur, which was a hard injury and would take a long time. If you recover from recuperation, if you do not recover well, you may become lame.
Zhang Ling called and contacted the funder, I called Du Tingwei, Du Tingwei's phone was turned off, and I called Du Tingwei's father, Du Zerong.
It was learned from Du Zerong that Du Tingwei finally died on the operating table in the United States. Knowing this news made me feel guilty. If I didn't say "Erasing the memory is equivalent to rebirth", maybe Du Tingwei would not die.
The next afternoon when Zhang Ling contacted the benefactor, Zhang Ling and I met each other in a teahouse in Bangkok. Because the other party's surname is Chang and he is less than fifty years old, we call him Mr. Chang.
Mr. Chang is very white, wearing a pair of gold glasses, and his speech and manners are very elegant. Zhang Ling first talked about her experience in the jungle with Dayan in great detail, and then said with embarrassment that she and Dayan had not completed Mr. Chang's entrustment and hoped that the other party would understand.
Mr. Chang pondered for a long while and said: "I know this is difficult to do. You didn't finish it, and I don't blame you. But when do you plan to go again?"
I immediately said: "Mr. Chang, too many people died in the jungle this time, so we won't go back to the jungle again."
No longer return to the jungle. Before meeting with Mr. Chang, Zhang Ling and I had already exchanged views. Zhang Ling’s initial idea was to go back. She did not return to the jungle for the employer’s two million dollars, but wanted to find out the castle. Is there any relationship between ghosts and aliens
The reason why I don't want to go back to the jungle is very simple. I have seen the ghost of the castle and swore a poisonous oath to it.
Of course, I can’t say that to Zhang Ling. My reason is that the big eye was seriously injured and I
I don't want to lose my life because of this, even if she sent me to 794 to slice and study, I won't venture back to the jungle again.
Regardless of whether Zhang Lingxiao uses affection or moves with reason, in short, I am just two words: Don't go! In the end, Zhang Ling had no choice but to agree.
Mr. Chang said: "I can add money."
I said: "Mr. Chang, money is a good thing, but we are not desperadoes. Life is more important to us."
Mr. Chang showed disappointment on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Well, if that's the case, then I have to ask other people to help."
Zhang Ling said apologetically, "Mr. Chang, I'm really sorry."
Mr. Chang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." He took out a check from his pocket, put it on the table, and said, "Although you failed to bring it back, I need to pay 30% as agreed. Expenses, this is one million U.S. dollars, and the extra part is my compensation to you."
Zhang Ling said quickly: "No, Mr. Chang, you just have to pay according to the contract."
Mr. Chang smiled bitterly and said, "Don't be polite with me. This amount of money may be a lot for you, but to me, it's nothing at all."
I picked up the check on the table. The check was in English, but the zero after the Arabic numeral "1", I still counted clearly.
It is indeed a million dollars!
Mr. Chang got up and said, "Let's do this, I'll go first."
I hurriedly said: "Mr. Chang, please wait a moment."
"Something else?"
I nodded and said, "That's it. Before I went to the jungle, I met one thing in Thailand about the god of the jungle. The god of the jungle was a stone pillar, and that stone pillar was found on the ruins of the ancient castle. The person who found the stone pillar also gained the ability to foresee through the stone pillar. I want to know whether that stone pillar has anything to do with the shadow you are looking for."
Mr. Chang was startled and sat down hurriedly, and said, "It's related! Can you introduce me to the person who has acquired the ability to predict?"
"He is dead."
Mr. Chang was surprised and said, "Ah! Dead?"
"Yes. The ability of foresight made him feel painful. He wanted to use brain surgery to erase part of his amnestics. Unfortunately, the operation failed and he died on the operating table. I want to know what the shadow you are looking for has to do with that stone pillar. .Can you tell me?"
