Chapter 115
"Your brother was only in his teens when he was thrown into the Yellow River. More than fifty years have passed. Can you still recognize him when he comes back now?" Yuan Tiandao suppressed his inner excitement and asked. At this time, he had basically concluded that the man was not lying.
"Then I must not recognize him, but my family has not moved, and my brother still recognizes me. When he knocked on my door that night, I had not recognized him, so he wrote a line of words to ask me if the Dragon Prince's image is still there. When he asked this, I knew that he was my brother, because no one except my brother knew that there was a Dragon Prince statue in my family." The man said.
Yuan Tiandao nodded, took out the bronze statue found in the mute old man's house and asked, "Is this the statue of the Dragon Prince of the Yellow River you mentioned?"
The man looked at it and said in surprise: "Leader, my brother took this thing away. How could it be in your hands? What did you do to my brother?"
"Don't worry, I'm looking for your brother, tell me first, what did your brother say to you after he comes back? Has he said where he has lived for so many years, and what did he do when he comes back this time?" Yuan Tiandao asked, feeling that the man in front of him was a breakthrough.
"Speak, but my brother said that he can't tell others about his affairs." The man said.
"You are looking for death!" Yuan Tiandao's team members said angrily.
Yuan Tiandao stopped the team members and took out a few banknotes and said, "Take the money and go back and buy some food."
The man's eyes lit up when he saw the banknotes. After he took Yuan Tiandao's banknotes, he said, "You leader is quite reasonable, so I'll tell you the truth. My brother said that he has been a general in Zhenhe under the Dragon Prince for many years, and now he has destroyed the Dragon Prince's temple outside. The Dragon Prince is angry and wants to drown people. My brother is thinking about the friendship between the villagers and is here to save people this time."
"To be honest!" Yuan Tiandao suddenly shouted angrily.
The man in front of him kept dodging his eyes when he said these words. It was obvious that he was lying. How could he deceive Yuan Tiandao? As soon as Yuan Tiandao got angry, his subordinates immediately took out his gun and pointed it at the man. The man was so scared that he knelt on the ground. He said, "Leader, what I said is the truth. Why did you get angry when you say you get angry?"
"If he doesn't tell the truth, just throw him into the Yellow River to feed the fish." Yuan Tiandao said coldly.
This completely scared the man. The man immediately begged for mercy and said, "Leader, I have something to say, but can I only say it to you alone?"
Yuan Tiandao nodded and took the man to the side. The man looked around and said to Yuan Tiandao carefully: "Leader, my brother is not dead at all. When my father went into the water, he saw that the person holding the boat was not a ghost, that was a human. My father might have been frightened. After seeing the person, he thought it was the Queen of the Yellow River. After throwing the fish and shrimps, he threw my brother down. After my brother went into the water, he saw that it was a choking person and rescued the man. After saving the man, he floated into the water to find my father, but found that my father was so scared that he ran away on the boat. My brother transported the man ashore and got up. The man said he would save the man to the end. He had friends under the water and asked my brother to save him. My brother was kind-hearted and swam.
When I went back, I saved two or three more people under the water. My brother became the savior of those people. The man asked my brother if he would like to follow them to make a fortune. Then he gave my brother the statue of the Dragon Prince, saying that it was an antique underwater and he could make a fortune as long as he sold it. My brother hated me when he remembered his father throwing him into the water and ran away. But he always felt sorry for me and my mother. He pretended to be a corpse and went home. The statue of the Dragon Prince of the Yellow River he gave me was not for me to offer, but for me to sell it for money. But I was so young that I loved it at the time, and I was afraid that my father would beat me, so I buried this thing in the yard. After burying it, I forgot it. This time my brother came back and asked me if this thing was still there and who it was sold to, and I remembered that it didn't sell it."
Yuan Tiandao looked at this person and didn't say anything. The person looked at Yuan Tiandao and raised his hand and said, "Leader, I really didn't lie this time! The place where my father threw my brother into the water was the place we are now. The group of people my brother saved were a few water ghosts. They usually caught treasures in the Yellow River, but that time they caught the Tao and encountered unclean things under the water. Thanks to my brother, he saved their lives."
"Your brother is coming back this time to get this thing?" Yuan Tiandao asked.
"Well, my brother said that those people were slapped at that time. This thing is the most valuable treasure. But now someone wants this thing and has to return it immediately, otherwise he will die. My brother knows that I haven't sold this treasure, and he is so happy." The man said.
"Do you have anything else you haven't said?" Yuan Tiandao asked.
"Leader, I have said everything I know. There is nothing I dare to hide from you anymore. Also, my brother seems to be very afraid of that woman. The one he brought, he told me that the woman was my sister-in-law, but I don't think it looks like that woman. The woman is too young and looks good. My brother is a bad old man. How could she take a fancy to my brother?" said the man.
After hearing this man's words, Yuan Tiandao suddenly realized something, and he suddenly panicked. While he was calling someone to look at the man first, he started running towards the camp like crazy. When he ran to the camp, he found that the fool's woman had disappeared. He immediately asked the team member: "Where is that fool?"
"Go to the river." The team member replied.
Yuan Tiandao rushed towards the river quickly. Before he could reach the river, he heard the woman's crying. When he arrived by the river, the crying had already stopped abruptly. A huge vortex appeared in the river. The woman was slowly walking into the vortex. When she saw Yuan Tiandao coming, she turned around and waved to Yuan Tiandao, and smiled at Yuan Tiandao.
This time my smile does not look as stupid as before!
This woman is pretending to be crazy and stupid!
It cannot be said that Yuan Tiandao and the others are careless. They can only say that this woman is really good at disguising her. When she first met, she was naked and was led by the old mute man with a rope, so everyone thought that she was really mentally retarded. Not to mention that the era of conservative obstruction was conservative, even if the customs were open, no normal woman would be led naked and was still acting in front of so many people. Naturally, her smirk and her saliva was like a normal fool.
This woman is not an ordinary person!
Ordinary people definitely do not have such acting skills and psychological qualities!
A word immediately popped up in Yuan Tiandao's mind - spy. There were actually many special identities that can only be seen on TV in that era. People from this group have undergone special brainwashing training. Yuan Tiandao did not have much contact with people in this field on weekdays, but he also knew that such people were doing everything they could and did whatever they could to achieve their goals.
At this time, Yuan Tiandao couldn't help but suddenly realize that many things that he couldn't understand before could be resolved smoothly now.
A spy involved undoubtedly escalated the nature of this matter again. Seeing that the woman had entered the vortex, Yuan Tiandao was a little guilty about going into the water, he knew that he had to chase him at this time. The team members on the other side shouted and asked them to stand by on the spot, and then quickly entered the water. After going into the water, he saw that the woman was swimming towards the direction of the temple, and he immediately accelerated to follow. The woman looked back at Yuan Tiandao. Not only did she not panic, she even turned around and smiled at Yuan Tiandao.
Then the woman followed the gate and entered the temple. Yuan Tiandao gritted his teeth and followed him. However, the gecko man blocked Yuan Tiandao again. The gecko man was like the gate god of this underground temple, but why did it only block Yuan Tiandao without stopping that woman? Thinking of this woman knowing this place well, Yuan Tiandao thought that all this was understandable, and it was obvious that this woman had a close connection with this underground temple.
At this time, facing this gate god blocking the road, Yuan Tiandao did not retreat. He could not retreat. The last time Yuan Tiandao almost died in his hands. This time, Yuan Tiandao ruined the power of the ox and tigers and finally knocked down the thing and entered the temple. The underwater temple is similar to the normal temple outside. After passing the gate, there is a main hall. In front of the main hall, there is a rusty incense burner. There is a half-broken stone tablet before the incense burner. Because of the long time under the water, there is a thick layer of mud and dust on the scene.
What Yuan Tiandao wanted to see most was the text. He swam over and wiped off the mud and ashes from the broken monument. After the turbidity on the water dissipated, Yuan Tiandao saw a line of words: Liu Jingtang, buried the Dragon King of the Yellow River here in 1939.
