"What's this?"
Raising his hand, Jiang Yan observed carefully. The lotus mark was obvious at first, but faded quickly.
Just by raising your hand, the mark will disappear completely.
It should be related to the mysterious creature that just "exploded".
"It can't be some invisible curse." Jiang Yan guessed secretly.
Suppressing this thought, he looked at the four people who were still standing blankly next to the lotus pond, and quickly patted these people awake.
Judging from the appearance of these people, if they are not woken up directly, I am afraid they will not wake up on their own in a short time.
It's not good to encounter danger in the dark.
…
"Huh? Jiang Yan, what we just did was..."
He was talking to the captain of the patrol team. Jiang Yan couldn't remember his name and only heard others call him Lao Li.
"I just got here and saw the four of you in a daze. I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I slapped you awake." Jiang Yan explained, and then said casually, "What did you just see?"
"Did you see anything strange?"
"Are we in a daze?" Lao Jia's face turned ugly when he heard Jiang Yan's words, "I didn't see anything just now. I only remember hearing someone singing..."
The other three people also agreed, "We are too..."
Who can sing at night?
"Jiang Yan, we won't encounter any weird things."
Lao Jia held the lantern high, his eyes showing vigilance.
"Probably not." Jiang Yan shook his head slightly, "If something strange happens, can you still stand here well?"
"But, you really didn't see anything?"
Jiang Yan asked again.
"No, as you said, I just heard the sound and didn't know anything else." Lao Jia thought about it carefully.
"You actually don't remember anything!" Jiang Yan frowned and told the story of the mysterious life he just saw in detail.
"Are you impressed?"
The four shook their heads.
"Okay, but that little thing blew itself up and left nothing behind. Everyone should be in no danger now."
Lao Jia nodded slightly, acknowledging Jiang Yan's statement, but the vigilance in his eyes did not diminish at all. He was an old bird and knew that he could not relax his vigilance no matter what.
"Jiang Yan, after all, something is not normal about this matter. Can you patrol with us for a while?" Lao Jia said. He knew that Jiang Yan was a warrior, and they all combined could not compare with him. Since he had just had a strange experience, it was better to find someone. Patrolling with two warriors is more reassuring.
"Yes." Jiang Yan nodded and agreed, because this is human nature.
Although the little thing that caused all this has self-destructed, a lotus mark also appeared inexplicably on his body.
After patrolling the area Lao Jia was responsible for twice, nothing unusual happened.
Jiang Yan asked Lao Jia to send a signal if there was an accident and leave quickly.
…
Looking at his right hand that had returned to its original shape, Jiang Yan looked a little gloomy. After all, there was a mark attached to it that he couldn't grasp.
It's really hard to feel at ease not knowing what it does.
Just after Jiang Yan left, a huge lotus slowly withered in the lotus pond.
…
At this moment, it is already late at night.
Jiang Yan walked quickly on the path, and after a while, he reached the square.
When he saw the big carp talisman soldier, his heart moved and he walked under the talisman soldier in a few steps.
If he is really cursed, the curse should be able to appear under the induction of the talisman soldiers.
The dark carp talisman was suspended in the air and looked ordinary. Jiang Yan raised his right hand to attract attention.
Broad, thick, with calluses between the palms.
The lotus mark that appeared before seemed like a dream and did not appear.
Jiang Yan was silent and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Since the Talisman Soldier is insensitive, the possibility of it being a curse is very small.
At this time, there was a voice behind him, "Jiang Yan." Someone called him.
The voice sounds like Ren Yuan.
Jiang Yan turned around and saw Ren Yuanzheng looking at him with a smile.
Holding fists, "Let me be the boss."
"It's so late and you haven't rested yet?"
"Not yet." Ren Yuan walked closer and explained, "Some villagers just came to ask for help. You and Fei Shan were not here, so they found me..."
"Is there anything weird?"
Jiang Yan's heart moved, and he felt a little regretful. He didn't meet it again, and the weird value was gone again.
"It's not weird." Ren Yuan shook his head, then pointed to the house next to the square, gesturing for the two of them to chat, "Some trivial things."
He didn't say specifically what it was, and Jiang Yan didn't ask any more questions. If it didn't involve weirdness, Jiang Yan rarely cared.
Walking into the room, the two of them sat down. Ren Yuan looked at Jiang Yan with interest, "I heard that you and Fei Shan were competing. Is it a tie?"
"I should have lost." Jiang Yan told what happened.
"Slippery."
Ren Yuan laughed and cursed, thinking that Jiang Yan was hiding his clumsiness. That night, several people in Qingshan Village worked together to kill the weird ones. Tang Long might not be able to see it, but he had a good vision and could naturally see that Jiang Yan was stronger than Tang Long. .
Tang Long and Fei Shan were evenly matched, but Jiang Yan was stronger than Tang Long.
Then Feishan is naturally no match.
He had no idea about Jiang Yan's behavior of hiding his clumsiness. People are different. Some people like to be low-key, while others like to be public.
However, no matter what, it is certain that Jiang Yan has extraordinary qualifications.
Ignoring this matter, Ren Yuan talked about another matter, which was much more important.
According to gossip in the hall, the gang may give up on the iron ore mining rights.
If given up, all members of the Dahe Gang mining area will be transferred back to Guihua City to fill in other industries of the Dahe Gang.
"Give up the mining rights?"
Jiang Yan looked surprised. You must know that the mining area has been operated by the Dahe Gang for a long time and is one of the more important profit points of the Dahe Gang. How could he give up.
"Yeah, it's really unbelievable."
Ren Yuan nodded, "Although the mining area has brought a lot of profits to our gang, the price we need to pay is also not low."
"If the officials criticize us harshly, we will have no choice but to give up."
"After all, the foundation of our Dahe Gang is still on the waterway. As long as the Lishui River remains, we will have a way out."
"Um."
After all, the Dahe Gang is a gang that relied on water transportation. Profit points such as mining areas are very important but not the foundation.
If you have to pay a huge price to obtain the mining rights, it is indeed possible to give up the mining area.
After all, the foundation is not damaged.
"It seems that we need to make preparations in advance, if the Dahe Gang is really ready to abandon the mining area."
"I need to figure it out and find a suitable position for myself."
He didn't want to be a small boss with positions but no power.
"By the way, Boss Ren, there may be something else you don't know. Shan Renhu has made a breakthrough recently and has become a warrior."
Jiang Yan reminded.
"I already know this. Two new warriors have been added to Yuyang Village recently, which is really a good thing."
Ren Yuan said that he already knew the news about Shan Renhu's breakthrough, "However, Shan Renhu wants to quit the patrol team, transfer back to Guihua City, and change to a stable position."
Are you not quitting the Dahe Gang?
Jiang Yan secretly thought that Shan Renhu's previous goal was to make enough contributions, quit the Dahe Gang, marry a wife and have children.
Now, after becoming a warrior, I have changed my mind and want to find a stable position. This is also a relatively stable choice.
The two chatted casually for a few more words, then Ren Yuan stood up and wanted to leave.
Jiang Yan raised his right hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Boss Ren, what do you see in my hand?"
As he spoke, he shook his right hand.
