"Grandpa, isn't this a picture!"

Everyone gathered their heads together, only to see that the back of the photo taken out of Tang Yuanyuan's album had been slightly yellowed, obviously there had been some years, and there was a line of small characters written on the back.

Turning to the front of the photo, there is a black and white photo, on which are five young men in coarse cloth uniforms, three men and two women, both women are wearing two braids and military hats, which is very youthful and vigorous in that era.

Although the other three young men were thin, their faces were filled with different smiles, one of them was wearing a pair of thick black-framed glasses, and his appearance was very similar to Tang Ren now, but his face was smaller, and there were no wrinkles.

Of course, what surprised everyone even more was the mountain in the background behind the five people, which was smoky from the halfway point of the mountain, and the top of the mountain could not be seen, which was almost exactly the same as the mountain on the picture scroll.

"Uncle Tang, where is this?" Ye Zicheng asked anxiously.

Everyone also looked at Tang Ren in unison, waiting for his reply.

Tang Ren took the photo and looked at the five green faces on it, and his thoughts suddenly seemed to be pulled back to the years of his youth decades ago, and his eyes were moist.

Ye Zicheng also wanted to open his mouth to ask, but Ye Hongfei waved his hand at him to prevent him from interrupting his old friend's emotions.

Ye Hongfei knows his old friend best, and knows that he must be recalling a profound time in his life.

After half a sound, Tang Ren came back to his senses, took off his black-framed glasses, pressed the corners of his eyes, and said, "I'm out of shape." ”

Everyone was silent for a while, only to see Tang Ren turn the photo over, point to the small words on the back and say: "This is the place where I went to the countryside when I was young - Xiangxi Miao Village." ”

Everyone looked at it together, only to see the small characters on it that read, "In 1977, I took a commemorative stay in Centipede Ridge, Miao Village, Xiangxi!"

Everyone was excited, and they couldn't imagine that the so-called clues did not have a mezzanine or imprint, but the most direct and rude way to draw a mountain.

Of course, there are so many mountains and rivers in Xia, if Tang Ren hadn't gone to the countryside here when he was young, who would have known that the place on the painting was a little-known mountain.

Ye Zicheng was the first to come back from the excitement, and shouted excitedly: "Now that we know the place, what are we waiting for, set off on Centipede Ridge to hunt for treasure!"

Chen Xiu and the others also reacted at once, they were all gearing up, and Tang Yuanyuan said even more excitedly: "I'll go and notify the private jet to prepare now and leave Xiangxi." ”

As he spoke, he took out his phone.

"Don't worry!"

Tang Ren stopped and said, everyone looked at him in unison, waiting for his next step.

"Centipede Ridge is a very steep place, a few decades ago it was still in the state of primeval forest, miasma, poisonous insects everywhere, if you are not careful, you will lose your life, and there seems to be a magnetic field on the mountain, the compass will fail! The local Miao people dare not enter the mountain. ”

Tang Ren pointed to a simple-looking young man next to him on the photo and said: "His name is Huang Wei, and he is an educated youth who went to the countryside with me in Miao Village back then. That year, the five of us went up the mountain on an expedition together, and this photo is a photo of us taking pictures before we set off. It's just that I didn't expect that this photo became the last photo of Huang Wei's life!"

Tang Ren's voice choked up when he spoke, and his emotions were also excited, although everyone wanted to know the follow-up, but they didn't dare to disturb him for a while, only Tang Yuanyuan gently stroked his back.

It took a long time for Tang Ren to come out of his sad thoughts and continued: "That time, the five of us went up the mountain together, and when we reached the mountainside, a heavy fog suddenly appeared, and we couldn't see the five fingers.

We were worried that we would get separated, so we tied everyone together with a belt and continued to move forward, but the fog was too big, and I walked in front to lead the way, but I couldn't see the trees less than half a meter in front of me, and I fell several times with everyone.

At that time, we were young, and there was nothing to fall a few times, and everyone still found it funny, talking and laughing, and continued to let me lead them in front.

The fog came and went as fast as it came.

Suddenly it vanished without a trace, and it was only then that we realized that we had come to an unknown col, surrounded by weeds taller than a man.

Whereas...... And the strangest thing is...... It's ......"

Tang Ren said this, and suddenly his voice choked up again, and everyone officially listened to the story and heard the tickle, and all of them asked in unison: "What strange things happened?"

"Huang Wei is gone!"

"Gone?"

Tang Yuanyuan asked strangely: "Grandpa, didn't you say that you all tied each other together with a belt, why did a big living person suddenly disappear, you don't know?"

"Strange is strange here. When the fog started, I led the team to the front, Huang Wei was at the end of the team, and Xiao Ding was the one who walked in front. ”

Tang Ren pointed to a girl with twist flowers on the photo and said: "Her name is Ding Yiku, three years younger than us, and she also went to Xiangxi Miao Village in the countryside together.

But it was she who walked in front of Huang Wei.

She also didn't notice why Huang Wei suddenly disappeared.

According to what she said, she remembered that she had spoken to Huang Wei before the fog dissipated, and she didn't know why Huang Wei suddenly disappeared!"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, if it weren't for Tang Ren himself, they would not have dared to believe how a big living person with a belt would suddenly disappear.

"At that time, we thought it was Huang Wei's prank, and deliberately untied his belt and hid in the grass to scare us. It's just that we haven't waited for more than half an hour and haven't seen him come out, and now we are not calm.

We scattered around to look for it, but we couldn't find any trace of Huang Weidu.

We all knew something was wrong.

Ding Yikuan suggested that we go down the mountain to find someone to help first, and then go into the mountain together to search.

When we saw that it was getting dark, we agreed to her proposal.

But the bad things are just starting now, and we can't find a way out of the mountains. We're lost!

At that time, I was carrying a compass, and the compass could not be positioned at all, sometimes pointing to the east and the other to the west. I thought we were hit by a ghost!

This scared the two female comrades, Ding Yiku and Ke Anqiu, into tears. ”

Tang Ren pointed to another young man on the photo and said: "His name is Ma Chong, he was a geology student at Kyoto University before he went to the countryside, or did he say that there may be a magnetic field on this mountain, which caused the compass to be inaccurate." ”

"Then how did you get down the mountain later?" Tang Yuanyuan asked.

"Then it got dark. After dark, all kinds of wild beasts began to haunt the mountains, and the roars of wild beasts were heard from time to time in the woods, which frightened us.

It was Ma Chong who suggested that the beasts were afraid of fire, so we found a lot of dry wood and lit a fire. We spent the night around the fire.

When we woke up the next day, we heard shouts, and it turned out that the villagers of Miao Village had come up to look for us when they saw that we had not come back all night. ”
