Just after listening, I realized that Wa Kun had emptied his mind of all knowledge about Bilongshan. I turned to look at the fat man. But I saw this kid took out his ancient jade to ward off evil spirits and was studying it.
I reminded the fat man that his butt was too heavy and he could sit wherever he went. Now was not the time to chat. Pack your things quickly. We have to leave tonight.
The fat man said: "Didn't you say that the strange phenomenon of Fopa Mountain only appears on rainy nights when the moon is full? Lao Cao, I have to confess one thing to you. We have never done this kind of work like praying for rain!"
I said that although the radio said it wouldn't rain, don't forget that today happens to be the 15th, so we have to try our luck no matter what. Don't forget Long Wu Na...
Speaking of Long Wu, I just remembered that I almost forgot an important thing. This old boy Wa Kun has met him before. I must ask him clearly about this matter.
I pulled Wa Kun aside and warned him that if there was something else that he was hiding from our third brother, why not take it seriously and save himself from getting into trouble later?
"No, no, really not!" Wa Kun glanced at Long Wu secretly, and then whispered to me: "You heard it just now, he didn't know me at all. I just recognized the wrong person. Really! "
Having been in the antiques industry for so many years, who hasn’t seen this? In my line of work, the best thing to judge about a person is whether he or she is lying. This kid Wa Kun obviously saw some clues from the weird behavior of the three of us. He had no choice but to mention the mountain incident at Bilong Mountain just now. Now if he was asked to mention the disappearance of a group of people from his shop two years ago, he would not acknowledge it even if he were beaten to death.
However, based on Wa Kun's performance, I can make a rough guess. First of all, Long Wu must have appeared here. As for why Wa Kun only remembers him so deeply, I can't speculate yet.
At the same time, Wa Kun revealed that there was another instinctive meaning in his words. Long Wu was once a member of the disappeared team. That is, the female team leader, the person in the team. Moreover, when Fatty found Long Wu, he was all wet and couldn't remember anything.
Is it possible that all those team members will suffer like this?
With these questions, I suddenly realized that there might be a way to unlock these unknowns and doubts.
That passport!
Back at our house, the fat man took the passport and muttered a word first, then said: "Look, Lao Cao, the foreigner's name has to be pronounced backwards, Wei Er Ai, it has to be pronounced as Avril Lavigne. . It sounds really good, and she is pretty. What’s the difference between this face and the pretty girls around us? The beauty lies in these blue eyes. You said, it’s not the colored contact lenses you’re wearing, right?"
I saw that the fat man read it correctly, so I couldn't help but smile in surprise.
The fat man yelled and said to me again: "Old Cao, don't look at people through cracks in the door and look down on them. I didn't work as a sailor for nothing in those years. I also fought with those foreign girls and foreigners across the ocean." A lot of interactions. You can find a university professor and read it this way, you’re right.”
I unfolded the passport photo and showed it to Long Wu, hoping that he would have an impression. After all, she might have been Long Wu’s tour leader.
Long Wu looked at it carefully, then frowned and closed his eyes. I don’t know if I remembered something from the past, or if I didn’t remember it at all.
The fat man was impatient, so he said again: "Brother Long, if you think of anything, you might as well tell us brothers. It would be great if you have really been to Bilong Mountain. Would you like to revisit the old place? It will definitely be easy." We are familiar with the road. But there is something very strange. If you have been there before, why would you let us take you back again? Is it possible that you didn't find the Longquan longevity water last time? "
When I looked at Long Wu, it didn't look like he was recalling something. Instead, he was in a bit of pain. I wondered if the strange disease on his hand had started to attack again.
I told Long Wu not to worry. If he really couldn’t remember it, he could think about it later. Since Fatty and I have decided to take him to the Longquan Ancient Tomb, no matter whether he has found it before or not, we will take him there again. .
Without further ado, we immediately arranged our equipment and set off at full speed in the general direction pointed by Wa Kun. The car had to stop when it reached the former hunting relics and hike up the mountain.
The fat man was the main force carrying equipment. As he went up the mountain, he looked at the dilapidated hunting sheds along the way and said, "Is that old boy Wakun lying to us? The previous sheds were almost halfway up the mountain. How can any hunter dare not Signs of entering the mountains?”
The mountains at our feet here are mostly rocky. I wonder if they were covered with dense forests before, but today only bare rocks remain. There are two newly built signal towers not far away on the mountainside.
I said to the fat man: "This area was banned from hunting more than 20 years ago. You see, the signal tower has been moved into the mountains. If there were ancient tombs in this area, they would have been discovered long ago. So, they must not be in this area of the mountains. We have to work harder and keep walking in. It's best to find a place to camp and make a fire before dark."
As far as the eye can see, there are three or four low mountains and rocks ahead. Camping requires at least dry firewood around to add fire. Although a lot of solid fuel is carried, it must still be used sparingly. This precious and heavy fuel can easily become a waste after entering the tomb. First aid supplies.
After just climbing over a few low mountains, the sun had already tilted to a very low position in the west, and the halo was getting bigger, which meant that the sky was about to fall into darkness.
I used to think that my physical strength was very good, but compared with Fatty and Brother Long Wu, I was still a little inferior. I was already out of breath, but the two of them remained calm and kept pace.
Finally, we saw green mountains and forests ahead. They were said to be green mountains, but in fact they were bare rocks covered with a layer of shrubs, most of which were low. The fat man cursed and walked on the bare mountain for several hours. His eyes were almost blurred, and he finally caught something with a greenish color.
In fact, it wasn't much better. It was difficult to set up a tent while spending the night on bare rocks.
Then he said to me: "You see, Lao Cao, all those fitness cards of yours are useless. You should go out with me for walks more and fight more. I will make sure you walk with wind in the future!"
I didn't have time to fight with him, so I took advantage of the red light of the setting sun and took out the Longquan diagram to compare the pulses of the mountains in the distance. At the same time, I sighed in my heart. Nawakun only said that it was fifty miles away in the southwest, but did not specify the depth range. It would be difficult to judge if it goes like this.
Fortunately, before the night completely fell, we finally set up the tent outside the forest. The fat man carried the 9mm Colt on his back and went to the forest to pick up a lot of dry firewood. When he came back, he told me about the things in the forest at night. There are so many living creatures. While collecting firewood, I heard strange movement in the grass not far away, as if someone was hiding in it and chewing on the bark of the tree!
The fat man thought that chewing tree bark in the deep mountains and forests in the middle of the night was definitely not something a human being should do. He walked towards it step by step with the muzzle of his gun, and when he pushed aside the weeds, he discovered that it was a white wild goat. This thing seemed not to be afraid of people. When he saw the fat man, he was still chewing bush leaves in his mouth and showed no intention of running away.
In the end, the fat man gave it two blows with the butt of his gun, and then it ran away, like a white ghost in the dark night, jumping seven feet high, climbing rocks as if walking on flat ground, and was a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.
And when I shined a bright flashlight, I could see that there were a lot of sparse sounds in the bushes that the wild goat had touched along the way. There must be other living creatures.
I asked the fat man, why didn't you shoot two of them? That's not like your character.
The fat man groaned and said, "Don't you remember what the old boy Wa Kun said? Don't mention how itchy your hands were. From that distance, you could be beaten to death by lifting a stone! Oh, no more. , good, good!”
I smiled calmly. It seemed that the fat man was not afraid of anything. Even the hunters did not dare to shoot, but he still held back. At least he has remembered the matter of Fopa Mountain in his mind. I hope that the low mountain we are in has really entered into the light of Buddha.
In the evening, I ate canned food and instant noodles. The fat man ate deliciously, but he still couldn't stop talking about Guilin's dog meat hot pot. He said that he must return to Guilin to have a big meal when this time is finished.
The fat man and I were chatting, and suddenly Brother Long Wu next to me put down his chopsticks. He looked up at the moon with a strange look on his face.
I also raised my head, it was the fifteenth day of the month, and the moon was as full as the bottom of a basin. Looking at the moon in the mountains, it felt even bigger. It's just that the moonlight is hazy, and the full moon will be obscured by black clouds and mist-like things from time to time, like a beauty draped in a veil, half-covering her delicate face.
I was overjoyed, this was a sign of rain in the near future!
Then he turned to look at Long Wu, and he picked up the bowl again and started eating, taking his time. It seems that the reminder to me is already in place.
So Dang Ji said to the fat man: "Save the dog meat hot pot for later in your dreams! Eat this little bit of food in the pot and rest quickly, and hurry up at dawn! Maybe there will be a heavy rain tomorrow night."
The next day.It was said last night that there would be heavy rain today, but no one expected that the sky that was about to clear up suddenly became covered with dark clouds, a cold wind blew, and raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky, hitting the ground. The bare mountain rocks turned into dense black spots one after another.I thought to myself that the weather here in G West is also childish, and it will change at any time. Then the three of them found a rock protrusion to take shelter from the rain, each put on their raincoats, and all their backpacks were covered with tarpaulins, and continued moving forward.Sure enough, the rain came and went quickly. Less than a quarter of an hour after it started, the raindrops the size of soybeans had turned into drizzle. However, zigzag lightning flashed from time to time in the sky, white light flashed, and a few... Seconds later the dull rumble of thunder could be heard.The fat man took off the ha
In the quiet and gloomy mountains and valleys, lightning struck the Buddha out, even though the three of them had been mentally prepared. But seeing this with my own eyes, I was still secretly surging, confused and frightened.I said to the fat man sternly: "Keep your eyes open and let me have that direction etched in my mind!"He hurriedly called Long Wu again: "The rain is too heavy, and the searchlight on my mountaineering helmet cannot illuminate clearly. Brother, please come and use a flashlight to help me clearly illuminate the Longquan map!"After saying that, I quickly took out the Longquan drawings wrapped in plastic bags and compared the trends of the surrounding mountains to see if they were consistent with what was depicted on the drawings.I didn't stand high up during the day, so I couldn't see anything. At night, the valley illuminated by the thunder one after another looked like it was covered in silver, and it looked like ice-covered s
I once visited mandrills at the Capital Wildlife Park. They are strong and have long tusks. If one or two adults fight with bare hands, they are probably difficult to get close to. Except for one thing, I have never heard their cry.However, in this Zhelong Valley, my wish came true.As the three gunshots in the valley completely disappeared, the mandrills on the tree had completed their swarm. This kind of primate creature has a certain IQ and is good at organizing an orderly and effective encirclement attack! At this moment, they gathered together and sent out pitiful roaring signals at the same time. Suddenly, the valley was completely invaded by this whimpering and pitiful strange sound!It's just that the scream of this thing is so miserable that the ears of those who listen to it will be numb and the head will be scratched and itchy!I was about to plug my ears with my little fingers when something suddenly fell from the tree and landed on my sho
I thought I had accidentally bumped into the mandrill, and I was about to pick up the firearm in my hand and fight it to the death. I will not give up until either side is completely dead!Unexpectedly, a huge python that was thicker than the giant tree in the sky suddenly appeared in the Zhelong Valley!The fat man and I both gasped, and his voice changed: "cao...ah! Is this still a snake? This is a monster! Old Cao, the three of us together can't even compare. That tongue is long!”Who knows how long this impregnated python is, so I asked the fat man to quickly turn off the searchlight on his helmet. And made a silence gesture: "Keep your voice down! Damn it, Buddha is still watching on the top of the mountain, and this snake spirit dares to run out. It seems that the world of Dishui is really unknown, and he is good at raising huge ones. Monster! You must report it to the government when you have time, and ask the army to come and surrender. We, with our
Several people ran around in the dark for a long time, and no one except the fat man discovered the problem. There seemed to be no end in Zhelong Valley!I said earnestly to Long Wuyu: "I heard what the fat man said just now. He must have lost his mind, including me. It was definitely not just a few random words in a hot head. Although we have known each other for a while, It hasn't been long, but at this moment, I really feel that we meet each other too late. As the saying goes, brothers fight against tigers, and father and son fight in battle. Our expedition trip to Longquan has just begun. You can consider my proposal slowly, of course. And never force it!”To be honest, after I finished speaking, I felt like I would miss the mark if I said too much. Maybe it was because there was a little bit of playfulness in my words. I really admire Long Wu for his loyalty, calmness and decisiveness! He also has sharp methods! Each of these is very rare! If I look for short
I looked up, and I was now in the deepest part of Zhelong Valley, where the vegetation is most dense. At first glance, it is impossible to see directly to the top of the mountain through the various green plants blocking the road. And you can vaguely see that the high part of the rock wall on the left is tilting seriously. Just like the dumplings I just mentioned, it seems that one side of the dumpling wrapper has really turned over.The fat man’s hands were quick and he had already sorted out the climbing rope and told us: Maybe Buddha wanted to eat dumplings, so he spent thousands of years filling them. By chance, the rest of us bumped right into the muzzle of the gun. Originally, Buddha wanted to wrap some leek meat, but it was not too big of a deal for the three of us to watch the excitement. We insisted on joining in to serve as shrimps. If we really let him wrap it in, it would be three delicacies.Although I couldn't see the top of the mountain, my intuitio
I carried Long Wu's supplies and asked the fat man to meet me on top, and then together we came to the tree where Long Wu was.When I stood still and looked carefully, I was surprised to find that where we were was just a thick branch!The main body of this branch, that is, the main trunk actually grows in the rock wall. Only a small part of the main body can be vaguely seen, but it is as thick as five people surrounding it!When I came to the place with the densest branches and leaves, I couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and look at the surrounding woods. If this big tree was not ranked first in Zhelong Valley, then it would really be a ghost!Big trees that grow in mountains do exist. The Huangshan Four Treasures Welcome Pine is one kind. That kind of tree grows on cliffs. Without soil, it only relies on sunlight, rain, dew and a small amount of nutrients. It grows extremely slowly. It takes decades to grow. A long circle.At this time, the fat
There are enemies chasing after him, and the mandrill, like a frightened bird, is still thinking about circling around, hesitating, and it must have lost its way!I suddenly realized that the entrance to the cave was most likely the mandrill’s choice made in a panic! It is very likely that it is also spinning in this intricate and continuous cave.This way it will be much better. I am not afraid that you will get lost, but I am afraid that you will be clear! If you are wise enough to quickly throw your secondary bag where you are, then when we get the water, we won’t waste any more effort chasing you!But if you think about it more carefully, this possibility seems too small. The mandrill is extremely greedy by nature, and it is extremely difficult to take something back from it unless it doesn't want it.It seems that there is only one way left to get it back, and that is to kill it with your own hands! There was a strong smell of monke
