“Do you have an idea?” Iron Chopsticks asked in a slightly softer tone as he labored to look at the English documents. After oiling his hair, Little Brother Zhang climbed out of the window and looked around. He then turned back, swept away the thatch debris that had fallen from the roof onto the ground, and rolled some kind of black thing out from underneath his tongue.
It was a very sharp piece of iron. He squatted down, took it out of his mouth, and started to draw on the wooden floor.
“The village is divided into three parts. The place where we stopped before is the shuizhai, which is the outermost part of the village. Now we’re in the qianzhai, an area where ordinary people live. It’s very large and there are a lot of these kinds of buildings here. It’s said that the houzhai should be behind the qianzhai and is surrounded by both the qianzhai and the mountains behind it. This is where the Bimo of the village lives. The houzhai is a forbidden place, so one knows what it looks like. Asa used to sneak in there before, so he’s the only person who knows the situation there. But his whereabouts are now unknown, so we can’t count on him.” He said. “When the expedition returned from the forest, all the things that Bimo guide brought back were placed in the houzhai. The most important thing for us to do is complete the task and enter the houzhai. Our main problem is that without Asa, we don’t know the route to enter, and we also don’t know what the situation is like there.”
It wasn’t that these people didn’t already know everything Little Brother Zhang was saying, it was just that his logical reasoning made everything clearer.
“But there’s no one in this village now. Even if I wanted to find someone to ask, I can’t.” Phoenix frowned.
Because I had experienced so much before, I instinctively realized that when Little Brother Zhang said these words, he had actually started manipulating these people through layers of logic. For those of us who wandered in the underworld, it was an instinctive speaking skill used to convince others that they could achieve their goals better. It was difficult to detect if you weren’t particularly alert.
If this kind of thing developed all the way to the end, it was easy for people to be blind to what the analyst was doing and could lead to them being exploited.
On the whole, Little Brother Zhang’s analysis hadn’t yet reached that stage. When the Bimo came back from the forest alone, he must not have been happily singing “Little Stars” with his hair in twin pigtails. All the American expedition members were missing, so they must have encountered something extremely tragic. As a result, the Bimo must have gone into a state of self-cultivation in the houzhai. If he brought the insect disaster back with him from the mountain depths, then that place must have been the first to suffer and might have even been hit the hardest.
“Don’t worry, I might not know where the houzhai is, but one person must already know.” Little Brother Zhang pointed above our heads: “The person you paid a lot of money for is definitely worth the price. We have to do two things now. One is to retreat. If something happens within two hours, how can we go back? The second thing is that this houzhai is extremely dangerous, so we have to make complete preparations. You have to tell us everything you know about this bug, because honestly, we probably can’t survive with what we know now.”
Snake Ancestor hadn’t said a word the entire time. I still hadn’t figured out his character yet, and I kept feeling like he was the strong, silent type. I opened my mouth to ask a question, but found that it was impossible.
Iron Chopsticks and Brother Meng exchanged a look before Brother Meng said, “Well, if we find the houzhai, I’ll tell you.”
Little Brother Zhang was just about to respond when Poker-Face’s whistle pierced the air, and everyone rushed out of the house. The whistle meant: I found a living person, come up immediately.
“Go!” Iron Chopsticks shouted. Everyone who came with him started climbing, except for Little Brother Zhang, who smiled and immediately ran into the depths of the village. Iron Chopsticks was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses and said to me: “You go with Little Brother Zhang and see what he’s up to. If it’s really strange, don’t worry about asking me and just kill him directly.”
