Chapter 144 The East Wind Comes First
After Sanhu finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan was shocked again. In fact, the average life expectancy of humans in ancient times was not as low as the historical community believed, far more than thirty years old. According to Wu Ji's memory, although the living environment in ancient times was harsh, it was still very common for people who lived to the age of fifty or sixty, but there were very few in seventy or eighty years old. This 83-year-old wizard was considered a long life no matter what. This person is the only one who can transfer time. The person's body seems not very good. Maybe one day there will be a three-length and two-length shortness, and no one can transfer time again. The direct impact of this matter on him is that once he goes back, he will never come back.
Although he had no intention of coming back before, not coming back and not coming back are two completely different concepts, which are the same nature as having no money and having no money to spend. The former is subjectively controlled by oneself, while the latter is objective and passive.
After coming back to his senses, Wu Zhongyuan climbed into the silver cylinder with a rifle on his back. The silver cylinder was the main body of the Sanhu, and his head had been cut off by Wu Gui with a bowstring. Only an obese body was left in the silver cylinder. Due to excessive obesity, it was difficult to distinguish between limbs and torso, just like a tank of fat pork oil.
"Don't worry, I'll still go and save you." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Thank you." Sanhu took a deep breath.
"Is there anything else to remind me?" Wu Zhongyuan picked up the rifle.
"No more, let's do it." Sanhu said, perhaps because he was excited and his voice was trembling.
"Okay, get ready, I'll count to three, one, two, three." The gun didn't sound and the insurance was not opened.
"Come again, one, two, three." The gun had not fired yet and the bullet was not loaded.
Sanhu was frustrated and helpless, "Are you killing me or scaring me?"
"Sorry, I'm here." Before he finished speaking, the gun rang. He had indeed deliberately scared Sanhu before. This guy was afraid that he would not agree to rescue and kept the biggest resistance until the end before saying that if he didn't scare it, how could he be worthy of it? But he was still kind-hearted, and in the end he saved Sanhu from the torture and torture of countdown.
As soon as the Sanhu died, the black fog blocking the door disappeared immediately. At the same time, the monster's screams and howls came from afar.
Wu Zhongyuan jumped out of the silver jar and ran out of the silver house, and saw a group of beasts that had retreated to the distance flocking toward this place.
He didn't dare to hesitate, threw away his rifle, turned around and ran away.
Wang Xinran and Xiao Qin were waiting on the mountainside. When they saw him coming, they hurriedly entered the cave with him. The cave was about ten meters long and the inside was very narrow. At the end of the cave was a copper box, the same size as the one they saw on the way when everyone came. After the three of them entered, the copper box felt the weight, the mechanism started, and the copper box began to rotate and sink.
This mechanism takes advantage of the pressure of groundwater. A circular waterway dug under the copper box. If there is no load weight, the copper box is pushed by a water column. After the weight carried by the copper box reaches a certain level, the copper box begins to sink, and the water in the waterway overflows to all sides. The copper box slides down quickly along the waterway, and the waterway is in an irregular V-shaped shape. After reaching the bottom, the angle of the copper box is offset, and the pressure of the groundwater pushes it to another upward channel.
The other end of the passage is underwater. After the copper box arrives, the three of them leave and float up. After the copper box is filled with water, it goes down again. On the way to float to the other end, the water is removed and returned to the place for later use.
The exit is located under the water of Yazi River and is not at the deepest bottom of the water. The person who designed this agency may have considered the issue of silt and sand accumulation. The exit was designed on a stone wall in the deep water. Fortunately, the designers of that year considered this link, otherwise the exit would have been blocked by silt and sand long ago.
There are still some huge carved stones around the exit, which should be the ruins of some kind of building. The biggest possibility is the place where the wizards change their clothes and rest. There should have been an upward passage to avoid water. After all, walking out of the river with ease and calmness is much more decent than climbing up from the wet water.
Back then, the three of them might have walked out calmly, but the three of them climbed up wet. It was four or five in the morning. It was not yet bright and the temperature was very low. After getting ashore, the three of them had their frozen lips and were trembling.
Huang Hailin had already lit a bonfire not far downstream, and the three of them walked over to meet him.
Zhao Ying and Lin Qingming are not nearby. Without asking, we can tell that they have taken the opportunity to run away. Not to mention that Huang Hailin still needs to bear Yang Yi when he floats up, even if he is empty-handed, it is difficult to stop the two of them.
This result was also expected by Wu Zhongyuan and Wang Xinran. Huang Hailin had sent a distress signal before. Shortly after everyone changed their clothes, the rescue vehicle rushed over.
According to relevant regulations, after entering such an area, safety quarantine and isolation observation must be carried out. However, Wu Zhongyuan was in a hurry to get the two spirit stones, so he eagerly urged Wang Xinran to drive to the airport.
"What are you doing in such a hurry to go back?" Wang Xinran was puzzled.
"You will know after you go." Wu Zhongyuan was not in a hurry to reveal his feelings to Wang Xinran, otherwise Wang Xinran would have sent someone to arrest Zhao Ying.
"Send someone to find their whereabouts and whereabouts as soon as possible." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Yes." Wang Xinran agreed.
"Let's see if there are any suitable flights. If not, transfer the plane to take us back." Wu Zhongyuan said again.
"What are you in a hurry to go back?" Wang Xinran asked in confusion.
Wu Zhongyuan also felt that it was inappropriate to hide it from Wang Xinran, so he said in a general way, "Get something very important, make sure we can rush back to the provincial capital earlier than them."
"What is very important? Spirit Stone?" Wang Xinran asked.
Wu Zhongyuan did not nod, but did not shake his head, which was equivalent to default.
"How do you know where her spirit stone is placed?" Wang Xinran's words were exactly word-of-word as Wu Zhongyuan expected.
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer.
Wang Xinran vaguely guessed the truth, "What did the monster in the Silver House tell you?"
Wu Zhongyuan did not deny it either.
"Did it tell you where the other two pieces are?" Wang Xinran asked.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't say anything.
Seeing him hesitating, Wang Xinran was very dissatisfied and turned a blind eye and stopped talking to him.
There is a suitable flight and there is no need to mobilize a special plane. While waiting, news came from the headquarters. Although it was impossible to determine the specific location of Lin Qingming and Zhao Ying, several cameras took pictures of suspected images, and the headquarters inferred that they were escaping northwest.
This news made Wu Zhongyuan secretly relieved.
At around twelve o'clock noon, the plane landed and a military vehicle was already waiting at the airport. Wang Xinran drove the driver down and drove by himself, "Where are you going?"
Wu Zhongyuan told a specific address, Wang Xinran then drove there.
An hour later, the two arrived at the destination. The security work of this foreign-funded enterprise was very good, but it was relatively unsuitable for the security work. Even the security work was in place. Wang Xinran could not help but show his identity and rushed in with a gun.
Since it was lunch break, the chairman was not in the office and the door of the office could not be opened. Wang Xinran asked the local military and police to come to assist, and asked the department head to notify the chairman to come immediately.
Wu Zhongyuan did not object to Wang Xinran's actions, because the chairman would definitely try to notify Zhao Ying after hearing the news, and this was exactly the result he hoped to see. If Zhao Ying could get the news, he knew that he was lying to her and would leave early to avoid being arrested.
The chairman did not come because he was in a meeting in another place. At this time, the two of them had no worries and directly found the lock unlocker to open the door of the office.
After opening the door, Wu Zhongyuan found the safe hidden inside the wall with a familiarity, skillfully entered the password, opened the safe, opened the bottom drawer, took out a square iron box, opened it, and two spirit stones were revealed in front of the two of them.
Seeing the spirit stone, Wu Zhongyuan breathed a lot. It was enough. After going through twists and turns, he finally got enough spirit stones and got the "ticket for the return trip."
"You have known that there are two spirit stones here for a long time, right?" Wang Xinran asked coldly.
Wu Zhongyuan did not respond. Wang Xinran knew the specific number of spirit stones in his hand, and knew that it would be enough to get these two spirit stones again. The reason why she asked this question was actually accusing him of deliberately letting Zhao Ying go.
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer, but Wang Xinran stared at him and forced him to answer. In the end, Wu Zhongyuan could only speak, "She saved my life, I can't watch her go to jail."
Wang Xinran was very dissatisfied with Wu Zhongyuan's answer, because the reason was very simple. She hated Zhao Ying. In addition to her different positions, a large part of the reason why she hated Zhao Ying was because of her different positions because of her love rival. However, on the other hand, she was very satisfied with Wu Zhongyuan's answer, because Wu Zhongyuan did not forget Zhao Ying's help to him because of his alienation from Zhao Ying, and it was worthy of love and friendship.
After taking a look at Wu Zhongyuan, Wang Xinran asked, "Do you know the consequences of your mercy?"
"What are you referring to? My brother?" Wu Zhongyuan asked back.
"Yes," Wang Xinran nodded, "I don't know that you're enough for you to get these two spirit stones in the black suit. In her impression, you're at least two pieces away. She still has one in her hand and knows the whereabouts of the other. In order to force you to cooperate with them, she will get another spirit stone as soon as possible after learning about the situation here. She has told you before that the place where the spirit stone is is more dangerous than that of Sanxingdui. It's very dangerous for your senior brother to follow her."
"I know it's dangerous for my brother to follow her," Wu Zhongyuan smiled bitterly, "But what can I do? Tell my brother, my sister-in-law is helpless, and let him leave Zhao Ying and surrender himself? Then he was shot?"
Wang Xinran did not respond. She was a bystander. After all, the bystander's understanding of things was not comprehensive enough. Thinking from the perspective of others, she could not think of a better solution even if it was the dilemma that Wu Zhongyuan was currently facing.
"What else do you need me to do now?" Wang Xinran asked.
"Let her go." Wu Zhongyuan sighed.
"I won't make things difficult for you. I can let her go," Wang Xinran said, "What should you do with your senior brother? What are you going to do?"
Wu Zhongyuan pondered silently and did not answer.
Wang Xinran said, "You can't take his ones away. It takes a lot of energy to open and maintain the wormhole. The energy contained in these spirit stones in your hand is definitely not enough to carry two people."
Wu Zhongyuan still didn't say anything. He was indeed thinking about the possibility of taking Lin Qingming away just now.
"Let's go, leave here and let them clean up the aftermath." Wang Xinran pointed to the military and police waiting outside the house.
The two left the office, left the office building, and got into the car when they came.
Wang Xinran did not drive or speak, but just sat in the driver's seat.
Wu Zhongyuan knew that Wang Xinran was waiting for him to make a decision, and after he was silent, he said, "Go to Huangxian Hospital."
"What are you going to do?" Wang Xinran asked.
