For this sudden fire, Mr. Xu also expressed great apology. After meeting Zhou Jiayu, he apologized repeatedly, saying that he was a little careless. I didn't expect that the man was so courageous and dared to be here. Zhou Jiayu started.
Zhou Jiayu said nothing to a large extent, but was just curious if their house and those paper figurines could really catch fire
Xu Lao heard the words and said with a smile: "This paper figure is made of a special material. Generally, fire cannot be ignited. Only the fire of the supreme sun can make it burn."
Zhou Jiayu remembered the lighter that Lin Zhushui had left for him, thinking that it should be the fire of Zhiyang.
Elder Xu said again: "The one who attacked you is actually a member of our Xu clan..." When he said this, his eyes were full of sadness, "Our Xu clan has rules since ancient times. This rule has lasted for hundreds of years, and it is also the foundation of our Xu family's inheritance."
Zhou Jiayu said: "Then what's his situation?"
Xu Laodao said: "He is very talented, but his concept is different from ours." He told a story intermittently. The content of the story was a bit old-fashioned. . In the end, he violated the rules of the tribe and was driven out of Sheshan.
The story is very simple, but Zhou Jiayu could hear the regret in Old Xu's tone.
Elder Xu said that before the man went down the mountain, he tried to attack the most important sacred object in their clan, but fortunately he was stopped in time. But he didn't expect that he would actually target Lin Zhushui's disciple Zhou Jiayu, and he attacked him several times. Although it didn't work out, Lin Zhushui's reaction was obviously provoked.
"Let's go to the cemetery at night." Xu Lao said, "If you can get your ancestor's approval, he won't be able to touch you in the future."
When Elder Xu said these words, Lin Zhushui remained silent. Until Xu Lao finished saying these words, he suddenly waved to Zhou Jiayu and said, "Come here."
Zhou Jiayu approached Lin Zhushui ignorantly.
Lin Zhushui didn't speak, bit his index finger, and after the blood overflowed, he handed his finger directly to Zhou Jiayu: "Hold it, suck the blood on it."
Zhou Jiayu was stunned for a moment, then said: "Sir, you are..."
Lin Zhushui said, "The place is heavy with yin, and you will be affected if you go there. Drink some of my blood."
Zhou Jiayu wanted to say something else, but Lin Zhushui urged, "Hurry up."
So Zhou Jiayu could only bite the bullet and hold Lin Zhushui's index finger, and gently licked Lin Zhushui's wound with his tongue. Although Zhou Jiayu always felt that Lin Zhushui's fingers were very cold when he got the tattoo before, but at this time it was only a few drops of blood, Zhou Jiayu felt as if he had swallowed a huge stream of heat, and the heat flowed along. The throat slid down to his stomach, dispelling the cold inside him. Zhou Jiayu's face was red, and his forehead even began to sweat slightly.
After the blood was absorbed by Zhou Jiayu, Lin Zhushui naturally took his fingers out of Zhou Jiayu's mouth. Picking up the tissue next to me, I wiped the wound on my hand and some kind of transparent liquid.
Zhou Jiayu didn't know whether he was really hot or embarrassed, his whole face flushed red, his eyes quietly glanced at Lin Zhushui's fingers, and he silently lowered his head.
Lin Zhushui said, "How do you feel?"
Zhou Jiayu said, "It's... quite hot." He suddenly remembered something and said, "Sir, did the water you gave me on the train have your blood in it?"
Lin Zhushui said, "Yes."
Zhou Jiayu said, "Ah... Then thank you sir."
Lin Zhushui said lightly, "I have nothing to thank you for."
Elder Xu watched the interaction between the two from the side, smiled very kindly, and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Lin to have such a side. It really is a deep teacher-disciple relationship, a deep teacher-disciple relationship."
Lin Zhushui didn't answer, Zhou Jiayu smiled a little embarrassed.
The departure time is set at around 8 o'clock in the evening. It is said that the cemetery is very special and can only be entered at night.
Zhou Jiayu cooked some dinner casually, and the four of them ate together.
Since these paper figurines were no longer hidden, they began to jump around. When they were eating, there was one next to them. Judging from the hairstyle, it should be a boy. He kept his mouth open at the bone stick in Shen Yiqiong's hand. drool.
In fact, Zhou Jiayu admires these paper figurines. The facial features are obviously simple strokes, but they are extraordinarily vivid when they move, and they have the charm of a real person.
Shen Yiqiong was a little uncomfortable being stared at, and said to it, "Can you still eat meat?"
The paper man actually nodded.
So Shen Yiqiong hesitated for a while, and handed a piece of meat shaved from the big bone stick to him. The paper man happily picked it up, stuffed it into his mouth, and ate happily.
Shen Yiqiong looked at him with a thoughtful look.
Zhou Jiayu looked at his expression and said, "What are you thinking?"
Shen Yiqiong said: "You said that the paper figurines seem to be quite cute. Can we keep one in our family? After washing clothes and sweeping the floor, it will be wrapped..."
He just finished saying this, but the paper man seemed to understand, glared at Shen Yiqiong with those flat eyes, stood up and walked away. Shen Yiqiong looked embarrassed: "Wow, can you understand this too? If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't say it in front of it."
Zhou Jiayu couldn't help laughing.
After eating, Lin Zhushui planned to set off.
If Zhou Jiayu followed other people, Shen Yiqiong would definitely tell him to pay attention to safety, but at this time Zhou Jiayu was following Lin Zhushui, so Shen Yiqiong not only didn't worry, but also said with a little jealousy, come back early Ah, I will miss you.
Zhou Jiayu said contemptuously, "Do you miss me or sir?"
Shen Yiqiong said, "Can't you think about it all?"
Zhou Jiayu said, "Can you stop staring at me when you say this?"
Shen Yiqiong snorted, and said aggrievedly that he was going back to eat sweet potatoes and would not play with Zhou Jiayu. Zhou Jiayu thought that Shen Yiqiong's mental age of 18 is impossible, and having a 14 is already very good.
Lin Zhushui was still waiting outside the door, and Zhou Jiayu hurried out to join him.
The place they are going seems to be quite far from the village, and it is said that it takes one night to come and go. Originally, Zhou Jiayu was thinking that it would be troublesome to walk in the snow at night, but when he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw four or five paper figurines pulling a sleigh cart.
Zhou Jiayu: "..." Damn, is there such an operation
"Come up." Mr. Xu sat in the front driving seat and smiled kindly, "This is fast, and it's time to take hold."
Zhou Jiayu nodded, and Lin Zhushui left and right, and it was done. When he first got on it, Zhou Jiayu thought that the sleigh car would not go anywhere no matter how fast it was, but who knew that it was really on the road, and he almost didn't get carried away by the cold wind blowing in front of him.
Wearing special snow shoes, the paper man can run as fast as a sled dog, and he can also handle some more troublesome mountain terrain.
Zhou Jiayu felt that the whole person was going to be blown into a fool by the wind. No wonder Mr. Xu told him to remember to wear a hat when he went out. Zhou Jiayu thought he was afraid of being cold at the time, but now he thinks about it simply because he is afraid that his head will be frozen. Come on.
Zhou Jiayu was messed up in the wind, watching the surrounding scenery keep changing. There was no snow, and the moonlight cast a bright light on the ground. Lin Zhushui sat beside him, but the wind around him seemed to be separated by something invisible, and even the trembling of his hair was not obvious.
Zhou Jiayu suddenly felt that this scene was actually quite romantic. He and Lin Zhushui were sitting on a sled, sliding in the jungle in the middle of the night. The moonlight was beautiful, and everything around was quiet. Of course, it would have been more perfect if his head wasn't so cold that he was about to fall off.
Lin Zhushui's voice was still light, he said, "Zhou Jiayu, are you cold?"
Zhou Jiayu sniffed and said, "I... No... I'm cold..." He regretted what he said, his voice trembling like an electric shock, and he didn't believe he wasn't cold when he said it.
Lin Zhushui sighed softly, feeling a little helpless, he said, "If you are cold, sit down with me."
Zhou Jiayu was a little tangled in his heart, and before he could answer, Elder Xu said, "There is still a long way to go, young people, don't take it hard!"
These words made Zhou Jiayu give up resistance and sit down beside Lin Zhushui.
Obviously this action is not superfluous, because just getting closer, Zhou Jiayu obviously feels that the surrounding is not so cold.
Lin Zhushui is like a big fireball, trying his best to control the temperature he emits, but as long as he gets a little closer, he can clearly feel the burning energy in his body.
"Is it still cold?" Lin Zhushui asked.
Zhou Jiayu shook his head honestly and said, "It's not cold anymore." He felt that after sitting next to Lin Zhushui, the wind seemed to be blocked. The feeling of being frozen is finally a lot better.
The sleigh went all the way, along the winding mountain road, and drove into the bushes.
Although the terrain became more and more troublesome, the paper figurine's speed was not affected at all. Zhou Jiayu felt that it had to be at least eighty yards.
Xu Lao said that the road was far away, and it was no joke. It was twelve o'clock in the morning, and after a four-hour journey, they arrived at their destination.
The destination is a cave hidden in the woods. The cave is low and low, with snow-covered bushes growing next to it. Even if you reach the door, you won't find a hole if you don't look carefully.
Elder Xu stooped and entered the hole, while Lin Zhushui walked last, sandwiching Zhou Jiayu to guard against accidents.
The small cave could only be passed by bending over. After walking a few dozen meters inside, the rock wall above the head disappeared, and a huge iron gate appeared in front of Zhou Jiayu. The iron gate seems to be a few years old, and it looks like it is five or six meters high. If it is purely human, it will definitely not be able to be pushed.
Old Xu still looked cheerful. With a wave of his hand, the paper figurines behind him who were originally dragging the sled slowly walked to the front, grabbed the door handle and began to exert force. The strength of these paper figurines is really great, and the iron door that looks extraordinarily heavy was pulled out of a gap that people can pass through in less than a moment.
"Let's go." Elder Xu beckoned.
Zhou Jiayu followed him, but when he saw that the paper figurines had no intention of coming in, he said, "Aren't these little paper figurines coming in?"
Old Xu said, "Well, they can't come in."
Zhou Jiayu sighed, and then watched the paper people slam the door shut.
Behind the door, there was a huge cave. On the rock wall around the cave, there were some torches that were lit when they came in. It seemed that they should have been preserved in the cave all year round.
Old Xu walked in front of the road lightly and led the way for Lin Zhushui and the two.
The road in this cave is a bit complicated, and there are fork roads everywhere. Zhou Jiayu vaguely heard some small noises coming from the fork road they did not take, and he wondered: "Elder Xu, there is a fork in the road next to this. something?"
Old Xu smiled and said, "There are some, and this is also a protective measure. If you go wrong, you won't be able to get out."
Zhou Jiayu: "..." He silently took a few steps forward.
Originally, Zhou Jiayu thought that there should be many paper figurines in this cemetery, but he did not expect to see a single paper figurine along the way. But according to Mr. Xu's previous statement, there should be some restrictions on the paper figurines in this cave.
After walking for about ten minutes, after going around a huge rock, an astonishing scene came into Zhou Jiayu's eyes.
Seeing such a spectacle, Zhou Jiayu couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement: "It's so beautiful—"
Old Xu smiled: "Yes, it's beautiful."
In the deepest part of the cave, there is a huge pit, and in the pit, stands a huge tree. This tree is different from ordinary trees. Ice is its branches, snow is green leaves, and its branches and leaves are stretched and hidden in the depths of darkness. The light of the torch shone on it, and even a faint reflection could be seen.
It's so beautiful, Zhou Jiayu sighed, this tree extends to the top of the rock, and the trunk is so thick that Zhou Jiayu can't even see the whole picture. This big tree with ice and snow can't see the roots below and the crown above, but as far as Zhou Jiayu can see, it already looks like a hundred or two meters, but I don't know how tall it is.
At first, it was the tree itself that attracted Zhou Jiayu's attention, but he soon noticed that there were other things hanging on the tree.
It seemed to be paper figurines covered in snow and frost, with red threads wrapped around their bodies, and they were hung one by one on the branches of the big ice and snow trees.
Zhou Jiayu remembered the ancestors in Xu Lao's mouth. Could it be that it was the big ice and snow tree in front of him
Is this tree natural? Or artificial? Zhou Jiayu was amazed, and his mind was full of messy questions for a while.
There are countless coffins on both sides of the cliff near the trunk. These coffins should also be made of paper. The number of coffins is impossible to count. If you want to come here, it is the cemetery that Xu Lao said. Born in a tree, died in a tree, it is no wonder that this is the holy place of Xu.
Elder Xu said to Zhou Jiayu, "Go over and put your hand on the tree trunk."
Zhou Jiayu glanced at Lin Zhushui, and called Mr. Sheng in a low voice.
Lin Zhushui stretched out his hand and gently pressed his shoulder, and said lightly, "Go, I'll be watching from the side, don't be afraid."
After hearing Lin Zhushui's words, Zhou Jiayu's flustered emotions calmed down strangely. He took a deep breath, slowly approached the bottomless pit, and put his palm on the snow-like tree trunk. .
Almost as soon as the palm of the hand was pressed against it, Zhou Jiayu felt a chill pour into his body along his arm. He opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound. He saw that the surrounding branches and leaves seemed to have Like life, it gathered towards him, and his body was lifted up by the branches and sent to a high place.
The branches are slowly stroking his body, like a mother examining a newborn, serious, meticulous, and with a mother's tenderness.
The cold air in his body began to dissipate gradually, and Zhou Jiayu heard a voice, the voice was very old and vague, as if he was humming a song, and it surrounded his ears.
Drowsiness suddenly surged, Zhou Jiayu's consciousness began to peel from his body, and he felt a comfortable feeling of returning to his mother's body, and his mind didn't even want to think about what was going on.
However, at this moment, this comfortable feeling was interrupted.
Zhou Jiayu heard Lin Zhushui's voice: "Zhou Jiayu - wake up!"
The sound was like thunder, which made Zhou Jiayu tremble, and instantly woke up from that abnormal feeling. When he opened his eyes, he found that his body was almost sticking to the trunk of the tree, and if he walked forward a few more Step, the foot is the black pothole that can't see the head.
Lin Zhushui stood behind him, grabbed his arm forcefully, and called out his name, "Zhou Jiayu!"
Zhou Jiayu suddenly came back to his senses, his face was a little dull: "I, what's wrong with me?"
Elder Xu showed a somewhat embarrassed expression next to him, and he said, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, I didn't expect Zu Shu to like him so much."
Zhou Jiayu was in a daze, until Lin Zhushui pulled his arm to get him away from the big tree again, and he recovered: "Me, what's wrong with me?"
Lin Zhushui didn't speak. He reached out and probed Zhou Jiayu's forehead. After confirming that the temperature was not abnormal, he said, "Did it work?"
Xu Lao said: "It should be done."
Zhou Jiayu couldn't understand what they were talking about.
Lin Zhushui said: "Since it's done, let's go. The yin here is heavy, and he can't stay for too long."
Elder Xu nodded. The group was about to leave, but Zhou Jiayu suddenly heard a cracking sound similar to the ice surface breaking. Lin Zhushui obviously heard it too, because his footsteps stopped instantly, he whispered: " Wait—there's someone else here."
Xu Lao was stunned for a moment when he heard the words: "Other people? How could it be... Could it be..." Before he could speak, a huge branch of the ice and snow tree in the darkness suddenly broke open, with ice and snow and branches of Countless little paper figures fell directly into the deep pit.
Seeing this scene, Elder Xu's face turned ashen. He seemed to have guessed what was going on, and his whole body was shaking with anger: "Xu Jinghuo—are you fucking crazy?"
When Zhou Jiayu heard the name Xu Jinghuo, his first reaction was that the name seemed to match Lin Zhushui...
No one responded.
Old Xu said angrily: "You actually did something to Ancestral Tree—you, you, what are you thinking?! Don't hide!! I know it must be you!!" After he said this, the darkness really revealed a figure. It was just that the voice was standing on a high tree trunk, looking at them condescendingly. The person Xu Jinghuo called Xu Jinghuo slowly said, "Xu Lao, I'm just doing it for the good of the Xu family."
Old Xu was going crazy, and Zhou Jiayu had no doubts at all. If he had a pair of wings on his back, he would definitely fly up for the first time and fight Xu Jinghuo regardless.
"I'm really doing it for your own good." It was a man's voice, it sounded very young, the owner of the voice should be no more than thirty years old, he stood on the trunk and said warmly, "Elder Xu, if you let the Xu family go on like this , we will be exterminated sooner or later."
Xu Lao sneered: "Then what you are doing now will make the Xu family continue?"
"Of course you can." Xu Jinghuo said, "And you... you're quite amazing..." He shifted his gaze to Lin Zhushui, "Your name is Lin Zhushui, right? I've heard of you, you're amazing, very sharp-"
Lin Zhushui sneered: "Muzan." He said Miaozan, but what he did was not polite at all. He reached out and took out three paper cranes in his pocket, and blew a breath at the paper cranes.
Seeing this scene, Xu Jinghuo was a little panicked, and he said, "Don't let the paper crane out—if you let it out, I'll cut off another branch!"
Elder Xu quickly said, "Mr. Lin!" Judging from his expression, it was as if Xu Jinghuo wished Xu Jinghuo would let Zu Shu go and stab him.
Lin Zhushui didn't speak. He held his palm slightly. In the palm of his hand, three paper cranes started to fly slowly. The paper cranes had bright flames on their wings.
Xu Jinghuo heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It's almost the same."
Old Xu said: "Xu Jinghuo, hurry down, I don't blame you for what you did before!"
Xu Jinghuo said, "You really don't blame me?"
Old Xu gritted his teeth and said, "No wonder!"
Xu Jinghuo grew bigger when he heard the words, and he said, "Even if I said that I stole Hong Xiu's body from here—you really don't blame me?"
Red Xiu? Yanhong Xiu? Hearing this name, Zhou Jiayu was surprised that this matter seemed unusual.
When Elder Xu heard the name Yanhongxiu, he was provoked again, and said angrily, "You still have the face to say it! You are really, you are really—" A string of dialects came out of his mouth, although Zhou Jiayu couldn't understand it, But it's obviously swearing, and it looks dirty.
Xu Jinghuo burst into laughter when he heard the words. He said, "I want to tell you that I also let out the locust tree demon. They are all dead now, and they don't even have a chance to reincarnate!"
Elder Xu growled: "Shut up!! You bastard!!" As he said that, he was about to take something out of his arms, and Lin Zhushui said coldly, "Elder Xu, calm down, he is deliberately angering you."
When Old Xu heard the words, he paused for a moment, and he seemed to have reacted immediately. Xu Jinghuo said these words, obviously for another purpose.
"You cut it." Lin Zhushui's fingertips gently teased the flaming paper cranes that were flying around his palm, and he said softly to the figure in the dark, "Xu Jinghuo, If I were you, I would cut another branch and let us know how powerful you are."
Zhou Jiayu was shocked when he heard this, and didn't understand why Lin Zhushui said such a thing.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jinghuo laughed, and he said, "Mr. Lin, someone told me to be careful about you before. I thought they were thinking too much. I didn't expect to meet you for the first time, and you really impressed me."
Lin Zhushui sneered: "Meeting for the first time? I can't see it."
Xu Jinghuo said, "Oh?"
Lin Zhushui said, "Didn't you come here on the same train as us?"
Xu Jinghuo did not respond.
The flame in Lin Zhushui's hand burned even more dazzlingly. His voice was very soft and gentle, but what he said was not so comfortable. He said, "Although I don't like killing people, but for you, I can make an exception."
Lin Zhushui didn't sound like he was threatening anyone when he said this, but Zhou Jiayu could hear it in his ears, but he could sense that he was serious.
Xu Jinghuo never made any more provocative words, and he obviously felt that Lin Zhushui's words were not intended to scare him.
Lin Zhushui's body began to emit a scorching high temperature that was incompatible with this icy space. Zhou Jiayu, who was standing beside him, was probably the one who felt the most obvious.
Although Xu Jinghuo had the word "fire" in his name, he seemed to hate flames very much. He stayed on the branch and didn't speak for a long time. Just when Zhou Jiayu thought he couldn't say anything, he said: "Mr. Lin , you are indeed powerful enough. But no matter how powerful a person is, if they have a weakness, they will become fatal." When he said the word weakness, he set his eyes on Zhou Jiayu.
"Weakness?" Lin Zhushui smiled brightly when he heard this. The strong confidence in his words made Zhou Jiayu feel as if something had hit his heart. He said, "I, Lin Zhushui, want to protect me. Can the person who is caught also be called a weakness?"
Xu Jinghuo was about to refute again, but a cluster of flames ignited on his body, and he said in horror, "This is impossible—when are you—"
Lin Zhushui sneered: "Nothing is impossible."
Zhou Jiayu watched Xu Jinghuo, who was standing on the branch, turn into a fiery man. From head to toe, everything was on fire, but it was very strange that he stood up straight without making any noise. Falling from the branch into the bottomless pit. If he is really human, I am afraid that it is definitely more fortunate.
Old Xu's face was not very good-looking, and he said, "Mr. Lin... Xu Jinghuo..."
"Not dead." Lin Zhushui said coldly, "This is just a paper figurine he manipulated. He should still be above Sheshan."
Old Xu said, "Paper figurines? But paper figurines can't touch our ancestral tree."
Lin Zhushui said, "What if this paper man wasn't born from this ancestral tree?"
Old Xu's eyes widened, as if he couldn't accept Lin Zhushui's statement at all.
Lin Zhushui gently brushed off the ashes in his palm and said, "Excluding other possibilities, this is the only answer. Tell the people in the village to be careful, Xu Jinghuo's paper figurine is damaged, and his body will definitely be damaged. Wounded, don't let him go."
Xu Lao nodded in agreement.
Zhou Jiayu also heard the name Yanhong Xiu in Xu Jinghuo's mouth just now, he hesitated for a while, but still asked the doubts in his heart, and said, "Elder Xu, what is the answer to that Yanhong Xiu? What's the matter?"
Old Xu said, "That's a long story..." He slowly told Zhou Jiayu about Yan Hongxiu and Xu Jinghuo.
Yan Hongxiu does not belong to the Xu family, but is a relative of the Xu family. Their ability to manipulate paper figurines is getting weaker and weaker, and by the time of Yan Hongxiu's generation, they have almost lost this ability.
But Yan Hongxiu is an anomaly. She has strong abilities and is loved by Ancestor Tree. It's a pity that Tian Yuyingcai, Yan Hongxiu, who was not yet twenty, was found to be terminally ill and died soon after.
After her death, Xu Lao took care of her and buried her around the ancestral tree. But one day it was discovered that Yan Hongxiu's body was gone, and at the same time as her body, there was the locust tree spirit whose temperament changed drastically because of Yanhongxiu's death.
Xu Lao suspected that it was Xu Jinghuo who did it, but there was no evidence, but now he heard Xu Jinghuo admit that he was in charge of all this.
When he said these things, Zhou Jiayu was listening by the side, while Lin Zhushui walked to the ancestral tree. He closed his eyes and seemed to be listening carefully for any movement beneath the pothole.
"Did you go down and watch it?" Lin Zhushui suddenly asked.
Xu Lao was stunned: "It's too deep down here, and the paper figurines can't be brought in. We've never gone down."
Lin Zhushui said, "There should be a dark river underneath."
Xu Laodao: "You mean..."
Lin Zhushui said, "Xu Jinghuo transported the note he just cut down from the dark river."
Old Beard Xu began to tremble with anger again, scolding the bastard, he actually dared to covet the branches of his ancestors—
Lin Zhushui's expression was a bit strange: "But there is good news."
Elder Xu said, "Huh?"
Lin Zhushui pointed at the big ice and snow tree: "Your ancestral tree is angry."
Although Lin Zhushui said this, Zhou Jiayu didn't understand what Zu Shu was angry with. Until they left the cave and rode on sleds to a river near here. According to Mr. Xu, there is only one river nearby. If there is a dark river, it must be connected to this river. Moreover, the water temperature of that river is high and it does not freeze all year round, which is quite special.
However, when they got there, they found that the river that Xu Lao said would not freeze had formed a thick layer of ice. Generally, when a river freezes, there will still be some living water underneath, but this river is completely frozen. Thinking about it, this is the result of Zu Shu's anger.
Under the ice surface, Zhou Jiayu saw the palm prints of many people. The palm prints were densely packed in the river, and the scalps of the people who saw them were numb.
Zhou Jiayu looked at the river surface, and suddenly felt that the palm print was a little familiar, he said, "I have seen this situation in the ice rink too!"
Elder Xu said, "Ice rink?"
Zhou Jiayu nodded: "Isn't there an ice sculpture exhibition under Sheshan? When Shen Yiqiong and I went to see it, we also saw a lot of handprints under the ice rink."
Old Xu said: "Oh, that, it was left by the paper man." He said, "The paper man holds it so that the people on it can pick ice, and sometimes it will leave some handprints."
It turned out that the doubts in Zhou Jiayu's heart were resolved, and there was a faint sigh of relief in his heart - it was not a human palm print, that would be fine.
"Open the ice." Lin Zhushui said suddenly, "There is something under the water."
After listening to Lin Zhushui's words, Elder Xu took out a whistle from his arms and blew it hard. The next moment, several paper figures appeared in front of Zhou Jiayu's eyes. These paper figurines seemed to be floating in the wind, and they stood in front of them in an instant.
Elder Xu gave them an order to let them break the ice.
A few paper figures bent down and started to work hard.
Zhou Jiayu noticed the whistle in Lao Xu's hand, and remembered that Xu Jinghuo deliberately angered Xu Lao before.
Kacha Kacha, although the paper people's hands are made of paper, they are not soft at all when breaking the ice. They quickly cut the frozen river water into several large pieces, and began to look for what Lin Zhushui said.
Lin Zhushui had said before that there was something under the water, but when he saw the paper man lift up the frozen ice cube, Zhou Jiayu involuntarily took a few steps back.
Inside the huge block of ice, there were four corpses frozen.
Zhou Jiayu was very familiar with the appearance of the corpse, the college students he met on the train. But if that's the case, that's fine, but these four corpses are actually holding a thick branch tightly. The branch was clearly cut from the ancestral tree just now.
"This, this..." Elder Xu said stunned, "How come there are dead people here?!"
Lin Zhushui didn't answer, just instructed the paper figurine to lift all the dead and branches to the shore.
Zhou Jiayu leaned on Lin Zhushui's side with a look of unbearable expression on his face: "Sir, how long have these students been in trouble?"
Lin Zhushui said, "It's been a few days."
Zhou Jiayu counted and found that there were only four people. He remembered what Lin Zhushui said before, and was stunned: "Sir, did that Xu Jinghuo disguised as a college student and went into the mountain with us?"
Lin Zhushui nodded.
Zhou Jiayu looked at the gender of the corpse, and found that there were three men and one woman, and one girl was missing, and that girl was the little Ju he had exchanged mobile phone numbers with...
Zhou Jiayu was shocked: "Xu Jinghuo is a girl?"
"Men." Lin Zhushui sneered.
Zhou Jiayu: "..." He admired Xu Jinghuo's makeup skills. He didn't notice anything unusual except that Xiao Ju was a little too tall.
"Dispose of the corpse and branches first." Lin Zhushui said, "Don't lean over, be careful with the corpse."
Zhou Jiayu was still wondering if Lin Zhushui was wrong and why he should be careful about the corpse. The next second, he watched helplessly. The corpse, which was holding the trunk rigidly, actually moved.
Zhou Jiayu: "?!"
Elder Xu also saw it and said in shock, "Mr. Lin, this corpse can move!"
Lin Zhushui said, "Of course it can move." He was not surprised at all, "Otherwise, who will transport this branch."
Zhou Jiayu: "..." It seems... quite reasonable.
The author has something to say: Today's comment section is driving, Chang Dudu girl:
ten years ago
Zhou Jiayu: My Mr. Lin Zhushui
ten years later
Zhou Jiayu: My husband, Lin Zhushui.
