Old Iron's Thoughts
Since Lusu said he is Old Iron, then he must have seen his true face and won't be wrong. No matter how hard it is to believe, it's a fact, so some things need to be reevaluated. What we experienced before... were all illusions, and Old Iron was the real traitor in our team?
No wonder! No wonder Lianxu's eyes were full of guilt, even at this critical moment he came to apologize to me, because he realized that he had made a fatal mistake. He mistakenly took me for an internal traitor, and was both calculating and probing, but ignored the real internal traitor - Old Tie! As a result, the team members one by one encountered problems, dispersed, and led to the current severe situation.
Some details won't be noticed if not thought about carefully, but thinking carefully can recall them. Firstly, Old Iron actively volunteered to be the hunter and guide for this trip; secondly, on the first night after entering Shimen Pass, I woke up in the middle of the night and vaguely saw someone sitting at the mountain pass keeping watch, that person was Old Iron. At that time, I thought Old Iron was really reliable and responsible, taking turns to keep watch for us, which greatly increased my good impression of him.
The next morning, Lu Xun and I almost fell off the cliff. The reason was that Lao Tie said it was slippery with pine oil. Now thinking back, the possibility of pine oil is very low, but at that time we were completely unguarded against Lao Tie, so we wouldn't suspect his words at all. Or maybe it really was pine oil, but not from the pine cones on the ground, but he quietly put it on the road in the middle of the night.
Perhaps it was not directly aimed at me and Luchu, but his sinister heart has been exposed, he stretched out his poisonous hand at that time.
Later, Old Wu suddenly suffered from food poisoning and spat out white foam, and was carried back by two police officers. At that time, I had a thought flashing through my mind - Old Wu drank the same mineral water as us and ate the same dry rations like compressed biscuits, how could he get food poisoning? Now thinking about it, it must have been Old Tie who did something behind the scenes, his purpose was probably not to poison Old Wu to death, but to distract those two police officers.
He was probably aware that the two police officers were not too pleased with this trip, so he gave them an excuse to back down. Because if this matter involved the police, it would be troublesome for him.
He is step by step and in a planned way dispersing our team, but no matter how meticulous the plan is, unexpected things will always happen.
The hunting dog, Hei Hu, found Peng Ye's earrings in the bushes. Although the dog was his, it was still an animal and not magical enough to be controlled at will. So the hunting dog did what it should have done, but revealed something he wanted to hide. At that time, Lu Xun's quick reaction and agility in tracking down the black shadow probably surprised him, making him realize that Lu Xun might not be simple, so he fabricated the story about the wild man.
So far, we haven't seen any wild man, and the legend of the wild man also comes from Old Iron's mouth. The giant footprint may be caused by some kind of animal, and Old Iron pretended it was a wild man, or it might just be someone pretending to be one.
At this point, Lao Tie himself also sensed the crisis, so the third person to deal with was San Fungzi. He observed that among the remaining people, Liang Ge was astute, Lu Xun was occasionally lacking in insight but had a live brain at critical moments, and as for me, it wasn't because of our congenial relationship, but rather he thought I trusted him deeply and had utilitarian value.
Thoughts reached this point, the mind was already clear. The fabricated legend of the Shengfo Cave, through my mouth, made the journey to the Shengfo Cave logical and coherent, that's my utilization value, besides, he had other plans for me.
