Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2574 (Two Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy-Four) The Thickest

Tie Wandao said: "The branches you saw when you walked there the second time were the same as what I saw. I don't know what you saw the first time. I don't think there was anything unusual about you on that road. Of course, this is just my feeling. I don't know what the actual situation is. Is it the same as what I feel? What do you think?"

"I think?" Although Li Pingrun felt that Tie Wandao was asking him whether he felt there was anything abnormal with himself, he was not sure if this was what Tie Wandao was asking, so he did not dare to answer casually.

Tie Wandao said: "Yes, do you think you experienced anything unusual on that road?"

After hearing Tie Wandao's clear question, Li Pingrun felt more at ease and answered, "No. When I was walking on that road just now, I felt normal."

"What about you now?" Tie Wandao asked again, "Do you feel anything abnormal?"

"I don't feel like there's anything wrong with me right now." Li Pingrun replied.

Tie Wandao asked again: "You said that when you first came here, you saw that the branch was only partially connected to the trunk. Then I ask you, where did the branch go before?"

Li Pingrun said: "It fell to the ground."

He thought: The branch is clearly on the ground here, but the chief asked this question because he probably wanted to know whether what I saw on this road was the same as what he saw on this road. Or maybe the chief also saw the branch on the ground and didn't know whether the branch I was talking about was the one on the ground, so he asked?
"Where?" Tie Wandao asked again.

Li Pingrun pointed to the thickest branch on the ground and said to Tie Wandao, "It's right here."

Tie Wandao said, "Describe the branch you are pointing at."

Li Pingrun then gave a description.

"It's the same as what I saw." Tie Wandao said. He then said to Tie Jinjue: "Is it the same as what you saw?"

"Same." Tie Jinjue answered. Tie Wandao asked Tie Jinjue again: "Did you hear him describe the branch he saw on the road for the second time?"

"I heard it." Tie Jinjue replied.

"Is it the same as what you just saw?" Tie Wandao asked again.

"The same." Tie Jinjue replied.

Tie Wandao said "hmm" to Tie Jinjue, then pointed at a branch on the road and asked Li Pingrun: "When did you see this branch?"

"We found that the other road was not right, so we changed to this one." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao asked again: "When you were standing on the main road before, didn't you notice the branch on the ground on this small road?"

"Yes, I really didn't notice the branch on the ground until I changed to this road." Li Pingrun said, "If I had noticed the branch on the ground when I was on the main road before, I would probably have thought about it more. In that case, I might not have taken the wrong path just now."

"You just said that the tree on the road we are walking on now, when you saw it last time you came here, its branches were only partially connected to the trunk. How do you think this branch fell to the ground?" Tie Wandao asked again.

"It has something to do with the thunderstorm." Li Pingrun said, "I feel it."

"How is it related?" Tie Wandao said, glancing at Li Pingrun.

"It was probably because of the heavy rain just now that this branch, which was only partially connected to the trunk, fell to the ground," said Li Pingrun.
