The cloud suddenly stopped moving, and the fat man didn't notice it for a moment. When he stepped back, he twisted his buttocks, causing the cloud to stagger.
Yuncai fell to the ground, recovered from the panic, quickly covered his ankles, and said "Ouch".
The fat man saw that this was something serious, and asked with concern: "Sister Yuncai, where is the injury? Let Brother Fat take a look at it."
Yun Cai frowned and shook his head, "It's okay, I just twisted it accidentally."
"This sprain can be big or small, dear, let me fat brother see if it's serious or not." The fat man said anxiously.
Yun Cai couldn't resist, so she had to move her hand away. She was knocked down without warning. Her ankle was indeed twisted and slightly red and swollen.
The fat man hurriedly took the towel and ran to the lake, soaked the towel, and immediately ran back and folded it and applied it to Yuncai's injured ankle. He comforted her and said, "Don't worry, sister Yuncai. Use an ice towel to apply it, and then put some more on it." Just take the medicine and rest more, it won’t affect your ability to walk tomorrow.”
After speaking, he raised his voice and asked Zhang Zhuxun, who was standing by the lake, "Muyu, have you brought any medicine to reduce swelling and pain?"
Zhang Chuxun didn't expect that he could frighten the little girl like that just by warning with his eyes. He couldn't help but reflect on whether he had gone too far. When the fat man asked, he pointed to the backpack where the medical bag was placed.
The little brother's senses have always been sharp. Seeing this, he glanced at Zhang Shuxun lightly and said, "No need."
Zhang Shuxun helplessly shrugged, "It's not that Fatty is too obsessed with that girl. I just hope the outcome won't be too bad."
What the little brother means is that he knows there is something wrong with Yun Cai, and is suspected of deliberately approaching him. Since the target of the person behind Yun Cai is him, he might as well use this opportunity to fish him out and see what the guy behind him wants to do.
But Zhang Zhuxun still wanted to give Yuncai a chance for Fatty's sake. It would depend on whether her kindness matched Fatty's dedication.
Hearing this, the little brother was silent for two seconds, "Who do you think it could be?"
Zhang Zhu said without thinking, "Slump your shoulders."
The younger brother raised his eyelids and looked at him with questioning eyes.
Zhang Zhuxun said: "That guy's target is definitely you, and there is a greater chance that Yuncai will do something for him, otherwise Agui wouldn't be so blatantly covering for him. As for the reason, I guess it should be the one with Agui's family. It’s related to the younger son whose identity has become a mystery.”
"I also asked around from the neighbors. The Agui family does have a young son. According to the time, he is about thirteen or fourteen years old this year. However, the neighbors have only seen the child when he was a child. No matter how old he is, When I was older, I heard that he was in poor health and he never showed up again."
"If Slumped Shoulder is a threat to Agui's youngest son, it is more likely that Agui's family will serve him." Zhang Zhu asked.
As soon as the little brother frowned, Zhang Shuxun knew what he meant and said, "Don't worry, if they react and stop the loss in time, things won't be so bad."
"But we still have to cheer up. The goal of slumping shoulders has not been achieved yet, and it will definitely happen again." A coldness flashed across Zhang Zhuxun's face, and it was time to see when Yun Cai passed the news to him.
The younger brother nodded, looked at the dark lake under the moonlight, and said no more.
On the other side, Fatty looked at Yun Cai's red eyes, feeling extremely distressed and racking his brains to think of all kinds of jokes to tease her.
"Sister Yuncai, do you know that in a battle, you can kill one enemy but lose three thousand to yourself?"
Wu Xiaoxie was still afraid that the fat man would tell the little girl dirty jokes. The little girl had never seen the outside world and her thoughts were still very simple. The fat man, a guy with a brain full of trash, felt like everything he said was pollution. He was busy using it. His eyes condemned.
The fat man waved his hand, "Don't worry, it's definitely a serious question. Sister Yuncai, take a guess."
Yun Cai thought for a moment and said, "Digging out the ant nest."
The fat man shook his head and said, "No, no, guess again. If you are naive, guess too."
Wu Xiaoxie was too lazy to use his brain, so he made a random guess, "A battle between a pistol and a machine gun."
"No, no, no." The fat man said proudly, "Guess again, the answer must be in line with your daily life."
Wu Xiaoxie kicked him angrily, urging him to announce the answer quickly and not to titillate people.
The fat man snorted, with an expression as if his IQ is crushing all of you, "Okay, for the sake of Sister Yuncai, I will reluctantly tell you ordinary people, listen up, if you kill an enemy, you will lose three thousand." The battle is the battle between elephants and bananas.”
Wu Xiaoxie was stunned at first, and then got angry, "What the hell is your answer? Why don't you explain how three thousand bananas can beat an elephant?"
The fat man scoffed at him and said, "You still don't believe me when I say you have a poor IQ. The secret of this question can only be figured out by someone with extraordinary talent like me."
Wu Xiaoxie glared at him, "Stop talking nonsense. If you don't show your ugly head today, I will let Muyu beat you."
Yun Cai also said coquettishly: "Fat brother, please tell me quickly, I'm so impatient."
The fat man had enough trouble and said, "Actually, the answer is very simple. The elephant was choked to death by three thousand bananas."
Several people burst into laughter. Yun Cai even forgot about his foot injury and laughed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe.
The fat man said cheerfully: "Rejoice, the fat man has a lot of twists and turns, such as..."
Yun Cai stared blankly at the fat man with his brows dancing, gesticulating and making gestures, and his body movements were deliberately funny and exaggerated. She knew that the fat man was simply trying to make her happy and divert her attention.
In fact, she didn't have a good impression of this shameless man who came up to him and claimed to be her fat brother at first. Although she hadn't seen anything particularly new, she wasn't really stupid. She knew exactly what the fat man was thinking about her. Chu, I just found it interesting to see him running forward and backward for me.
The more purpose was to stand next to the fat man and observe the cold guy at close range. She didn't know the purpose of that scary man asking her to pay attention to the little brother. She just followed his instructions and reported everything in detail. In fact, she didn't even know what that person's face looked like.
But it was obvious that her hiding skills were not good enough. The beautiful brother had already warned her and her behavior had been exposed long ago. She thought that she should also think carefully about what to do next to protect herself and her family. I know very well that seeking skin from a tiger is not a long-term solution after all.
Perhaps, Yun Cai glanced at Fatty calmly, maybe she could use Fat Brother's help to deal with that person.
It doesn't mean that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Fat Brother and the others are against that person, and she saw everything that happened outside the stilt building that day. That weirdo couldn't beat the cold-faced brother and the pretty brother.
Perhaps by cooperating with them, her family can completely get rid of control, and she can see that the beautiful brother who makes her a little scared cares about the other three people. The four of them have a good relationship, so she has the fat brother to protect her. I believe No one else would do anything to her.
After thinking deeply in her heart, Yuncai had made up her mind and would discuss it with her father later.
"Clouds?" Fatty stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "What are you thinking about? Are you so entranced? Did Fat Brother's handsome appearance fascinate you?"
Yuncai chuckled, but this time he was happy from the bottom of his heart, "Fat brother, you are so narcissistic."
She thought, Fat Brother was really nice to her, if...
Wu Xiaoxie drank more rice wine and lay on his back on the beach with his eyes half closed. At this moment, he was already feeling sleepy. He didn't even know when Zhang Zhuxun and the two came back. Agui next to him had already fallen to the ground and was snoring.
Zhang Zhuxun took out a thin blanket from the tent and covered Wu Xiaoxie to prevent him from sweating due to the alcohol and catching a cold from the cool breeze.
The fat man and Yun Cai were leaning against each other, and they knew what they were whispering. However, Zhang Zhuxun noticed that Yun Cai looked at him cautiously several times, with an expression that was hesitant to speak, as if he had something to say.
Zhang Zhuoxun thought about it and guessed that Yuncai might have understood the pros and cons and planned to abandon the dark side and join the bright side. This was a good sign. The fat man's efforts were finally not in vain.
The little brother still looked up at the few scattered stars in the night sky.
The rounder and brighter the moon is, the fewer stars can be seen at night.
The air became quiet for a moment, except for the occasional sound of unknown animals coming from the woods not far behind them.
Zhang Shuxun rested his chin with one hand and sat by the fire, his eyes vacant and his eyelids slightly drooped. At first glance, he thought he was asleep, but in fact he was just in a daze.
Just like that, after an unknown amount of time, the dog tied next to the tent suddenly barked briefly.
Zhang Zhuxun immediately came to his senses and looked behind him, only to find that the dogs had all stood up, straightened their bodies, and their heads were all looking in the same direction.
The boy next to him also noticed something. He stood up and looked in the direction of the lake with a solemn expression.
Fatty also sensed something strange and asked Yuncai to wake up Agui quickly. He also woke up Wu Xiaoxie and made a shushing gesture to signal everyone to be silent and listen carefully.
The wind brought a "pat-pat-pat" sound from the direction of the lake, as if someone's feet were slapping on the water and they were wading from the lake to the shallows.
In the dark, this voice sounds really penetrating.
The fat man signaled to several people, took out a flashlight, and pretended to see what was going on.
Agui took a nap, and his confused eyes were awake. Seeing this, he quickly waved his hand to signal them to calm down and sit down, saying, "It's okay, it sounds like a wild animal licking water."
"What kind of beast is it? Listening to this movement, it seems to be quite big." The fat man asked softly.
Agui shook his head, indicating that he couldn't hear it either. After thinking for a moment, he took out the shotgun from the tent, told Fatty and the others to stay still, and walked towards the lake. Yuncai held the sawed-off shotgun in one hand and a flashlight in the other and followed behind. .
The fat man saw that this was not possible, and hurriedly said that he would follow him and have a look.
When the few remaining people saw this, they followed quietly with knives in hand.
As I approached the lake, I turned on a lantern and searched for traces of wild beasts, only to find that the sound of "licking water" was coming from all directions.
"It's the sound of tide." The younger brother said calmly.
Several people looked at each other. Such a small lake can actually ebb and flow?
I looked up at the moon. The original semicircular jade plate was mostly covered by clouds that came from nowhere. It was hazy, as if shrouded in fog.
The few people continued walking towards the waterline, and sure enough they saw the lake water undulating rhythmically, like small waves hitting the beach. The sound of animals licking the water was caused by the waves hitting the rocks on the bottom of the shore.
When I looked under my feet again, I realized that the water level had dropped a lot, and the stone beach was all wet. Zhang Zhuxun and his brother didn't show any abnormality when they were at the lake before. In other words, the lake water had dropped a lot while they were taking a nap. , it dropped so drastically.
The fat man bent his hands into an arch shape, put them on his forehead and looked into the distance, wondering: "What's going on? Is the bottom of the lake leaking?"
Wu Xiaoxie thought for a moment and understood what was going on, and explained: "This should be a geographical phenomenon called the siphon effect."
The fat man still didn't understand, "Siphon what, siphon Erguotou?"
"This lake does seem to be connected to the underground river. There may be a larger lake nearby that is connected to it. Affected by tides or air pressure, the lake here is connected." Wu Xiaoxie explained in detail.
"For example, small lakes and large lakes are both magnets. If the siphon effect is caused by the moon's gravity, then the moon is also a big magnet. The suction force on the big lake must be greater, so there is a pressure difference between the big and small lakes. The water in the small lake It will be pumped into the big lake, so the water level of the small lake in front of us has been lowered."
Wu Xiaoxie looked up at the sky as he spoke, and suddenly realized something, "I understand!"
The fat man had just explained the siphon effect and the moon's magnetism clearly, "Oh, it's just like a flush toilet, so there are eyes at the bottom of the lake, so the water is sucked away. By the way, what do you understand?"
Zhang Zhuxun spoke softly, "No wonder we can't find anything. You see, the water level has dropped by more than ten meters. If there was a siphon tide here every night, those things from back then might have been sucked to the center of the lake. , we looked for it in the shallows on the shore, it was just a waste of effort."
Wu Xiaoxie nodded and confirmed his statement, "No wonder the area near the shoal is bare. There is nothing but stones. It turned out that everything was sucked away."
Yuncai listened silently and couldn't help but ask: "What are the bosses looking for?"
The fat man said "Shh" mysteriously, "Little girl, you can't ask around, you'll have nightmares."
Yun Cai was still unwilling to give up. She wanted to increase the weight of her cooperation with these people, "Is the thing you are looking for at the bottom of the lake? This lake is very deep. No matter how good the water is, no one can dive to the bottom, and the bottom is very dangerous. You should find some professional salvage workers, they have professional equipment."
The fat man smiled and raised his eyebrows, "This little girl knows a lot."
Yuncai pursed her lips and smiled, "A few years ago, there were actually people here who came here to salvage things. I've seen them wearing clothes as smooth as fish skin and carrying steel bottles on their backs."
What Yun Cai revealed was something Zhang Zhuxun and the others did not expect.
Then he winked at the fat man. The fat man understood what he was thinking. He came close to Yun Cai, said a few good words, and then asked, "Sister Yun Cai, did you see clearly what they were fishing for?"
Yuncai shook his head, "There were people guarding the area. I only took a look from a distance, but some of those people looked a little different from us."
The fat man asked, "What's the difference?"
"Most of those people have very white skin. Oh, no, there are a few who are as black as coal. They have set up many tents by the lake. The people guarding the edges all have guns. It looks a bit scary. ." Yun Cai recalled.
Wu Xiaoxie frowned slightly, why did this description sound a bit like a foreigner?
