The atmosphere in the room was solemn. Mr. Bao's behavior was beyond their expectations. No one dared to speak for a while.
"Ordinary people have no idea where the Dragon Girl Pond is. Tell me! Are you poachers?" Mr. Bao asked loudly with a stern voice.
"Poacher?" Yang Mo heard this inexplicably, but because he was pointed at by the harpoon, his mind couldn't move at all. At this time, I heard Chen Jue's trembling explanation: "I... I am Chen Jue, a student of Yanqing University. I am not a poacher!"
Yang Mo also said incoherently: "I... I just graduated from college, but I... I'm still a child!"
Mr. Bao looked at the two of them carefully, lowered his harpoon, and said in a low voice: "Indeed, they don't look like poachers. Did I guess wrong?"
Yang Mo listened clearly and said quickly: "You must have mistaken the person. How can we, the spoiled ones, have the ability to hunt?"
"Hunting?" Mr. Bao sneered, but the murderous look in his eyes was gone, and he asked again: "How do you know about Longnu Pond?"
Chen Jue looked at the backpack. Yang Mo approached Mr. Bao without leaving a trace, blocking his view, and said with a smile: "I just heard the old people talking about it, and then we two young people got into the mountains on impulse."
Mr. Bao seemed to notice Yang Mo behind him, walked forward and asked Chen Jue, "Why are you going to Longnu Pond?"
Yang Mo rushed to answer: "Isn't there such a legend in Dragon Girl Pond? Someone once strayed into the forest and saw the beautiful Dragon Girl bathing in it. We were curious and wanted to see what the Dragon Girl looked like, so we came here. "
Mr. Bao couldn't stand Yang Mo and still stared at Chen Jue, "Dragon Girl? It's just nonsense. Do you people in the city believe this?"
"Actually, there's nothing to hide." Chen Jue couldn't stand Mr. Bao's persecuting gaze, so he confided the truth: "I am doing plant research, and I heard that there is a legendary plant near the Dragon Girl Pond, called Longyan. Grass. We just want to pick a dragonfly and take it back, and we don’t have any evil intentions."
When Mr. Bao heard this, his expression finally softened. He seemed to be relieved and murmured: "So that's it."
Yang Mo observed the words and repeatedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, you see, we are really not bad people!"
Chen Jue took the opportunity to ask: "You must know the location of Longnu Pond?"
Mr. Bao nodded, then realized something and shook his head quickly, which made Yang Mo a little confused. Yang Mo couldn't help but ask: "Do you know me or not?"
Mr. Bao glared at Yang Mo, who did not dare to speak. Mr. Bao thought for a while and then said: "There is no dragonweed at all, it's just a rumor! I won't take you to Longnu Pond, and I advise you not to look for it again. It's a forbidden area in our town, and it's very dangerous. Go there and escape death! You should give up. As soon as the rain stops, leave here quickly, otherwise... "
The harpoon streaked across the ground, making a heart-wrenching sound. The meaning of Bao Lao's words couldn't be more obvious. Mr. Bao warned the two of them, but he didn't want to talk any more and left directly.
Watching Mr. Bao leave, Yang Mo whispered: "If he refuses to take us there, it means there must be dragonweed!"
Chen Jue was also full of doubts, "But why didn't he tell us? Also, what does that forbidden area mean? What dangers will there be in Longnu Pond?"
Yang Mo snorted coldly and said with a contemptuous tone: "It must be the people in the mountains who are stingy and are afraid that we will steal the dragon grass, so they said that on purpose!"
"Really?" Chen Jue was doubtful.
"Definitely!" Yang Mo said firmly, and then said regretfully: "It is said that Asparagus is a very precious Chinese medicine. If it can be found, it will be a huge business opportunity! These people, keep They don’t make good use of such a treasure, they deserve to be trapped in the mountains and suffer poverty!”
The more Yang Mo thought about it, the more unconvinced he became. Especially after knowing that Longnu Pond really existed, his heart felt like being scratched by a cat.
"No! I will definitely find the Dragon Girl Pond!" Yang Mo clenched his fists and stood up suddenly, "Even the King of Heaven can't stop me from getting rich!"
While Yang Mo was speaking, he had already walked to the door of the room, as if he was about to rush into the rain at any time. He looked back at Chen Jue, who was looking at him calmly.
"At this time, shouldn't you be stopping me and trying to persuade me not to be impulsive?" Yang Mo pointed at Chen Jue and said.
Chen Jue was unmoved and said calmly: "It's raining heavily outside, so you won't go out."
"Don't underestimate me!" Yang Mo was a little angry. He rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the room, muttering to himself as he searched: "Where's the raincoat? Bao's family is so poor, they don't even have a raincoat?"
Chen Jue said from the side: "How about forget it? It's raining heavily outside and you don't know the way. What can you do out there?"
"Don't know the road?" Yang Mo finally remembered something, rushed to Chen Jue, opened his backpack, and said proudly: "Don't we still have a map?"
Yang Mo flipped through it and finally took out a yellowed old map from the depths of the package. As he opened the map, he said: "Let's refer to the current position, can't we determine the direction of Longnv Pond? Then, as long as the rain stops, Longnv Pond, Longshencao... Hehe, I will I’m going to get rich!”
Listening to Yang Mo's words, Chen Jue frowned and said hesitantly: "Why do I always feel that this is not good?"
"What?" Yang Mo spread out the map and pressed the four corners of the map with heavier objects.
Chen Jue said: "Mr. Bao said that Longnu Pond is a forbidden area. It's not good for us to be taken in by others and sneak into the forbidden area."
"Whatever!" Yang Mo, still immersed in the fantasy of getting rich, said, "No problem, let's leave some for them. This is a favor to the old man."
"No!" Chen Jue's voice was a little louder, "What's the difference between doing this and stealing! How about we discuss it with Mr. Bao? Anyway, I only need one plant."
"You want one, what should I do? Did you agree that the rest will be mine?" Yang Mo was unhappy.
Chen Jue wanted to persuade him again, but Yang Mo interrupted him impatiently, pointed at the map and said, "If you have anything to say, can you tell me after seeing the map?"
The words had an effect, and Chen Jue calmed down and looked at the map. The two of them stared at the map for a while, and then said "Huh" in unison. Yang Mo discovered that the location of the town was not marked on this map.
"How could this happen?" Chen Jue said doubtfully.
"Maybe the map is too old and this town didn't exist at that time." Yang Mo explained casually, feeling very disappointed. In this way, he could not determine the location of Longnu Pond by referring to the town.
Chen Jue could see what Yang Mo was thinking, but he pointed to the mountains on the map and said, "Isn't there a mountain here? The town is in the north of the mountain, and Longnu Lake is on the mountain. I guess Longnu Lake is actually not far away from here. Far."
Yang Mo regained his energy and asked: "Can you confirm the location of Longnu Pond?"
Chen Jue shook his head, "Our current position is too vague to be determined at all. Look here..." Chen Jue pointed to a winding curve on the edge of Longnu Pond and said, "This is a mountain leading to Longnu Pond. There are only a few paths, and we can only reach Longnu Pond by finding this road. If we enter the mountain hastily, we will just get lost like before and end up trapped in it. In short, we still need to determine our position first."
"It will be easier if we have the mountain as a reference." Yang Mo turned his head and looked out and murmured: "If we look outside, don't we know that the town is on the mountain..."
The heavy rain outside the window was like a barrier, blocking Yang Mo's sight. The houses in the town were just vague outlines, and the distance was even more hazy and indistinguishable.
"Damn heavy rain!" Yang Mo cursed.
The footsteps were light and fast, passing through the door and stopping in front of Guo An. Fang Xuhui, who was sitting in front, turned his head when he heard the sound and saw a slim figure. Guo An finished his last bite of instant noodles and wiped his mouth while saying, "The results are out? Not bad, very efficient."
A laboratory test sheet fell on the table with a "snap", and Pang Jiaojiao's voice came to his ears: "How do you know?"
"What do you know?" Fang Xuhui asked.
Pang Jiaojiao pointed to the test sheet and said: "After DNA comparison with Sun Fengen, the deceased was not Sun Hui, at least not Sun Fengen's son."
"Not Sun Fengen's son?" Fang Xuhui stood up in surprise, "Could it be that Sun Hui was adopted by Sun Fengen? No! Captain Guo just asked me to check Sun Hui's birth record. He is indeed Sun Fengen's biological son. In other words, he died That person is not Sun Hui!"
"It's hard to say now." Guo An raised his head, "After all, we don't have Sun Hui's DNA, so we can only indirectly confirm my previous guesses through this method. As Pang Jiaojiao said, there is still the possibility that Sun Hui is not Sun Fengen's biological child. So, we need another piece of circumstantial evidence."
While talking, the phone rang.
The corners of Guo An's mouth raised slightly, "Here we come!"
