Zhang Zhuxun nodded, confirming their speculation.
"The black miasma that spreads in the woods is poisonous. It can cause people to be temporarily blinded in their sleep without any sound. With the sudden attack of snakes, your third uncle and the others may be really in danger."
Pan Zi pointed to the drag marks on the ground, "Last night, when the sound was far away, I quietly lifted up a corner of the curtain and looked outside. It was indeed that kind of cockscomb snake. They not only entangled each other in some way, but were stacked larger than a human being." It’s still tall, just like the kind of tofu brain that loaches can get into, and it moves very fast.”
"I guess that's how they took Aning's body away." Pan Zi continued, "The snake man we shelled in the bushes must have been the same thing last night."
Wu Xiaoxie clicked his tongue when he heard this, "Then why did they destroy this place like this?"
Zhang Zhuxun opened the collapsed tent support, dug out the towel wrapped in roasted sweet potatoes that he had put in it last night, and opened it for a few people to see.
The originally intact sweet potato inside was now squeezed into a flat puddle of rotten sweet potato puree.
"Those snakes must have known about our existence, but were unable to see due to the miasma, so they destroyed the tents in an attempt to force us out." Zhang Zhu said, "Although they are beasts, they are indeed smart."
Pan Zi said with a happy face: "Fortunately, I listened to Muyu and the others last night and covered the tent with mud, otherwise we would have been squeezed into a pile of meat."
The fat man sneered, "No wonder she didn't do anything in the jungle after being beaten by us. Fatty thought she was scared. After doing it for a long time, she turned out to be here waiting for us to fall into our trap."
Zhang Zhuxun casually threw away the towel with the roasted sweet potatoes in his hand, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. We have to leave before the afternoon. Otherwise, they will come back tonight, and these tents will not be able to withstand another attack."
The little brother suddenly pointed at the temple behind the camp and said calmly: "Go inside and stay away from the water."
Several people agreed.
The fat man started to clean up the stove to prepare for cooking. As soon as he took off the rotten rag covered with mud, he suddenly discovered something and hurriedly called Zhang Zhu to find some people to come over.
"Look here, is this left by your third uncle?"
The fat man pointed to a line of small characters written in charcoal next to the dark stove door and said to Wu Xiaoxie.
"We have found the entrance to the West Queen Mother's Palace. There is no way back. From now on we will say goodbye forever. Our wish is coming true. We have no regrets. This place is dangerous, so you must leave quickly and stay."
After the fat man finished reading, he said "Yeah" softly, "Your third uncle is..."
After looking at Wu Xiaoxie's expression, the fat man silently swallowed the words that came to his lips.
At this time, Wu Xiaoxie was stunned. Although his brain was a little unable to react, maybe it was because he was tired or he had been used to it for a long time. He did not feel sad or angry, on the contrary, he was very calm.
He looked at the handwriting calmly, expressionless.
The fat man quickly winked at Zhang Zhuxun, hoping to persuade Wu Xiaoxie not to be too sad.
Zhang Zhuoxun was also a little unsure about what Wu Xiaoxie was thinking at the moment. In short, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't feel that Wu Xiaoxie was sad at the moment.
After experiencing so many things, Xiao Tianzhen has actually grown a lot. Although it is still far from the expectations in the plan, it is not easy for Wu Sansheng and the others to get to this point.
One throws away his identity and replaces the other, supporting the burden of the two families. The other hides in the darkness and is willing to become a shadow, and no one knows his existence.
Zhang Shuxun actually admired them in his heart, so he wanted to dissect his value so that they could see it clearly, so as to gain the possibility of cooperation.
Although his plan is somewhat different from Wu Sansheng's plan to reconcile the two Lian Lian, the core purpose remains the same.
As smart as Wu Sansheng, he could naturally see clues from Zhang Zhuxun's behavior. However, what surprised him was that Chen Wenjin was the first to extend an olive branch to him.
However, in this way, with Chen Wenjin's mediation, he and Wu Sansheng are more likely to cooperate. If Wu Sansheng agrees, then the plan can be advanced.
"Walk
Bar. Zhang Zhuoxun patted Wu Xiaoxie on the shoulder, "Go and organize the equipment first, and then find the entrance to the West Queen Mother Palace."
After speaking, he deliberately avoided Pan Zi, leaned into Wu Xiaoxie's ear and lowered his voice: "If you are really angry, when I find your third uncle, I will lure Pan Zi away, and you can find an opportunity to beat him up to vent your anger."
Wu Xiaoxie laughed out loud and shook his head.
"I'm not angry at all. I'm used to this. I just feel that no matter how hard I try to chase after him, the third uncle is still getting further and further away from me. I will never understand what he is thinking."
The two went to sort out their equipment. The younger brother and Pan Zi entered the temple to explore the way and returned in half an hour.
The fat man yelled, "Here's dinner, canned beef and sweet potato stew, just eat it. With these few ingredients, the fat man can't make a full banquet."
Zhang Zhuoxun put the bowls and chopsticks on the table and helped to serve the rice.
The fat man really has a pair of amazing and skillful hands. No matter what it is, let him fool Yihe casually in the pot. Although the final product does not look very good, it is delicious.
The fat man was very proud of this, "The fat man has a pair of hands that can turn decay into magic. I remember when the fat man left the army, it was a monk's head. It was so clean that it made a clanking sound. He went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables all day long. It is still the same now. You’ve become a different person.”
"So people, you still can't eat too much. Educated people like you will start thinking wildly as soon as there is food in your stomach. You will be sad and sad all day long, and your life will not be the same."
Wu Xiaoxie nodded, feeling that what the fat man said made sense, but no matter how he listened, he felt that this guy was criticizing him in a roundabout way.
﹉﹉﹉
Several people left the camp before noon.
From Wu Sansheng's message, it is not difficult to judge that the entrance to the West Queen Mother Palace should be near the camp.
The fat man suggested searching carefully nearby, maybe the blind cat would find a dead mouse when it encountered it.
But my brother advised everyone not to be so optimistic.
The fat man asked why.
"Wu Sansheng is very thoughtful and knows that when we see the message, we will know that the entrance is nearby." The younger brother said calmly, "He doesn't want Wu Xie to be in danger. If the entrance is easy to find, he will definitely not leave a message."
Zhang Shuxun thought thoughtfully, "So, this entrance must be in a place that is difficult to find, or even if we find it, it is very likely that we will not be able to enter."
The fat man shook the branch in his hand dejectedly, "Then according to what you two say, we are just looking for donkey hair on a tortoise shell, and our efforts are in vain."
"Fat man, I traveled thousands of kilometers to get here. I crossed the Gobi desert and walked through the rainforest. Oh, but I ended up getting a full-body mud mask. I had to go back after sunbathing." The fat man complained with a bitter face, "It's not in any tatters. Picking it up, I almost lost my life in the hands of those turtles and snakes. This trip was like a loss to my grandma's house."
