In the general's mansion.
Luo Jinyu was extremely anxious deep in his heart, and it felt like a pot of boiling water was boiling in his chest.
He wandered back and forth in the study.
Finally, I heard a movement outside and immediately looked towards the door.
Meng Hongyi hurried in and said, "General."
Just when he was about to salute, he was stopped by Luo Jinyu, "No need to salute. Tell me, is there any place in the border town that is hidden and difficult to find?"
Meng Hongyi scratched his temples and thought carefully.
Everyone's eyes were all fixed on him, waiting to hear his answer.
After a while, he suddenly opened his mouth wide and said, "By the way, General, I'm thinking of a place, but I'm not sure if that place really exists."
Hearing what he said, Meng Hongyao immediately took a step forward, "Brother, are you talking about the so-called Shark Village?"
"Well, yes, I remember seeing a book with my mother before, and it said that.
That place seems to be in a mountain, and most people can't find the entrance. Our tile village is somewhat imitated there. "
When Luo Jinyu heard what he said, he had a rough idea in his mind, and he probably couldn't tell exactly where it was.
He discussed with them seriously that there were many mountains in the border town, but if it could really hide so many people, it would definitely not be very small.
Plus that old man comes out every day, so it's definitely not too far from here.
Also, if they are really all sharks, they should probably live close to the water.
If there are mountains and rivers, it will be much easier to investigate.
Here he was thinking hard.
Shu Zhihan slept there until dawn.
When she woke up early in the morning, she helped her grandma prepare breakfast.
After waiting for her grandfather to come back and finish eating together, she immediately stood up and bowed deeply to them.
"Grandpa and grandma, thank you for taking care of me, but I have thought about it. It is useless to avoid some things, and we should face them seriously.
So, I plan to go back, and I will just thank you for these two days. "
Just when the old man was about to speak, he heard the old woman say: "Old man, where is your car? Don't tell me it's missing."
Shu Zhihan was also heard at the same time. When she looked around, it seemed that her grandfather's car was really missing, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Yes, his car disappeared. How did he get it back?
Considering how long the journey was when we came here before, I thought that if we had to walk back, we would definitely not be able to come back from this point.
Looking at the old grandfather's expression, he didn't seem to feel tired. This was the strangest thing.
Shu Zhihan looked at them suspiciously, feeling that they seemed to have some secret here, and it was a big secret.
Seeing her suspicious look, the old man immediately stepped forward and asked, "Son, why are you thinking about going back? Let's do this. My car is broken. I'll take you out after it's repaired in two days. What do you think?" OK.
You see, if you go out now, you might not be able to get out for a whole day. "
The old man seemed a little moved when he saw her, so he took advantage of the victory and said, "Besides, my old lady really likes you, so just treat her as if you can stay with her again, okay?"
Shu Zhihan couldn't stand the pitiful look of the old couple looking at her.
She couldn't help but nodded, "Grandpa, grandma, I understand, then I'll go back in a few days."
After receiving her consent, the old couple seemed to feel relieved.
Shu Zhihan looked at the smiles on their faces and felt as if she had fallen into a trap.
She glanced outside the yard and said, "Grandpa and grandma, I think it's beautiful outside. Can I go out for a walk?"
The old man heard that he wanted to stop him,
But I thought there was no suitable reason to refuse.
In order to prevent her from thinking too much, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, but you can't go far, in case you can't find it back by then."
Shu Zhihan smiled and thanked her, nodded, turned around and trotted out.
The old man looked at her leaving figure and couldn't take his eyes away.
The old lady walked up to him and patted him, "What are you looking at? If you are worried about her finding something, then don't let her run around. And, honestly, where did your car go?"
After hearing the old lady's question, the old man lost the courage to lie at all.
"Do you know where this girl comes from?
General's Mansion.
Now everyone outside is looking for her. The general sent people out to search for me. I didn't swim back just to come back quickly and not be caught by them. "
The old lady was surprised when she heard this, "I mean, why are you all wet when you come back?"
The old man waved his hand and then walked into the house.
After Shu Zhihan walked out of the yard, she stood outside and looked at the surrounding environment, feeling a little relieved in her heart.
She didn't know why, but now she felt a little depressed when she saw her grandfather.
After running out of that yard, I felt instantly relaxed.
She kept walking forward, still wanting to see if there was anywhere she could go out.
Shu Zhihan didn't know how long she had been walking. When she saw a large open space in front of her, she ran over quickly.
In the center of the clearing is a not particularly large pool.
She couldn't help feeling a little strange when she saw this, and explored it carefully.
I saw some messy footprints on the edge of the pool.
What is going on? Could it be that someone fell into the pool?
Shu Zhihan knelt down and looked at it. The footprints seemed a little familiar, as if they belonged to an old grandfather.
But why are his footprints seen here?
She looked at the pool of water again, and it turned out to be blue too.
So, is there a possibility that the water leads to the outside, or to other places?
This water looks like living water, so there must be something mysterious about it.
Shu Zhihan stood up and looked around to make sure there was no one here, and then looked at the blue water in the pool again.
A very bold idea came to her mind.
After thinking about it, I thought I might as well give it a try.
In that moment of thought, she jumped directly into the pool.
As she swam further and further down, she couldn't help but find that it became emptier and emptier as she went down, as if there was a huge place below.
She kept swimming hard, and she didn't know how long she stayed underwater, so she thought she might as well go up and take a look.
Thinking about it, she moved up hard.
The moment my head emerged from the water, I realized that I was no longer with Grandpa and the others. .
But what is this place?
Shu Zhihan was not sure whether it was safe here, so she did not dare to go ashore rashly.
Thinking about it, she continued to sink.
I remember that I seemed to have seen something just now, but it only passed by briefly and I didn't see it clearly.
Taking advantage of this break, she planned to go down and take a look again.
She swam back and continued in the direction of Grandpa and the others.
Arriving at the place where she had just found the thing, she sank to the bottom, stretched out her hand and took out something like a ball.
Observing carefully in the water, I felt that there was something inside the ball.
Shu Zhihan smashed the ball in her hand directly towards the rocks below.
When the ball broke, a small box fell out.
After she picked it up, she opened the box and saw something like a piece of cloth with densely drawn things on it.
Shu Zhihan felt a little confused
I don't know, but after thinking about it for a while, I still stuffed the thing into my arms.
Then he swam forward harder.
I thought that no matter what, I couldn't go back to my grandfather now.
Shu Zhihan swam forward again, and it seemed that the time was longer. Even she didn't know that she could stay underwater for so long.
Not long after, she seemed to feel some sounds in the water behind her.
The sound was like someone swimming.
This realization made her feel nervous.
Could it be that the old man and the others found out that he had run away, so they caught up with him?
The more Shu Zhihan thought about it, the more scared she became, but it didn't feel like the water above. What should I do?
It's impossible to hide underwater, the only way is to swim hard.
Luo Jinyu was still at a loss in the general's mansion.
Meng Hongyi has been looking through various books and maps, hoping to find out the whereabouts of the shark village.
Luo Jinyu felt a little irritated, so he asked them to continue looking, then he got on his horse and went to Qingbo Lake.
He thought that the largest clear water in the border town was right here.
So, is it possible that the hidden village is actually nearby?
Thinking like this, I even wanted to go and inquire more.
He stood alone in front of Qingbo Lake, looking at the calm, mirror-like surface of the lake.
After I don’t know how long, I seemed to feel some fluctuations in the lake surface, as if there were fish below.
Seeing this, Luo Jinyu couldn't help but squat down and look carefully.
But at the same time, everything was prepared in case someone suddenly broke out of the water.
Watching that wave of feeling getting closer and closer to me, it also seemed to be getting more and more urgent.
As he got closer, he could vaguely see a figure below.
Luo Jinyu felt a little nervous, wondering who might be down there.
At that time, he seemed to see some movement behind this figure.
Regardless of what they said in the water, it was like two people chasing each other.
It can be seen that the people in front are very nervous, and the splashing water is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems more like they are exhausted.
When the figure arrived at the lake, he looked around and saw that the raised head turned out to be Shu Zhihan.
Upon discovering this, he immediately ran over and stretched out his hand to pull her up.
Shu Zhihan also didn't expect to meet him in this place.
She held Luo Jinyu's hand tightly, her voice trembling as she spoke, "There's someone chasing me from behind."
