Chapter 126: Haven't Returned Yet
During the night, the whole village fell silent, and one light after another went out.
In the silence of the night, there was only the sound of fluttering snow, and occasionally the barking of a dog who didn't know whose house it was.
A team of four people in charge of patrolling at night walked back after changing the guard on the mountain not far away, covered in snowflakes and stepping on the snow "creaking" under their feet.
"This snow will fall, and I already know how to wear cotton shoes. A man said with a white breath in his mouth.
The others laughed and kept walking.
"If I had known, I would have been wearing the new snow boots that my daughter-in-law bought, and it was your turn?"
"Hehe......"
A few people laughed and laughed, stepping on the ankle-less snow to bypass the mountain beam, and then returned to the small courtyard, the hot kang, the bowl of hot soup, and then a drill into the quilt, no amount of money to change.
From the direction of the city, a white van drove silently to the door of a family in the village and stopped.
A man jumped out of the car, looked back and forth, turned around and opened the big iron door, and with a wave of his hand, the van drove in, and the man followed in and closed the iron door again.
The chickens in the yard were frightened, fluttered twice in the chicken coop, "clucked" a few times, and waited for the people who got off the car to enter the house before it became quiet.
The lights in the room were turned on, and soon turned off again, but it was not pitch black, as if the hearth of the stove was lit and a little dim light was reflected in the window.
The snow fell heavier, and at four o'clock in the morning, the snow was already knee-high, and the branches were pressed with heavy snow, and from time to time, because they could not stand the weight, they shook it, and the snow fell from above to the ground, and a shallow pit was smashed in the snow on the ground, and in a blink of an eye, the shallow pit was covered with new snow.
In the mountains, everything is silent, in the tent above the ancient tomb, two people are sleeping inside, two people are stomping their feet outside with their hands, and they say a few words from time to time.
Just when everyone was still immersed in sleep, in the small courtyard where the van had entered before, two figures with big backpacks on their backs sneaked out.
When they came out of the big iron gate, they looked back and forth, and the night was bright in the heavy snow.
The two men walked along the edge to the end of the village, and soon skirted the village into the mountains, and in a short time the footprints left by them disappeared into the snow, and no one noticed that no one had ever passed there.
Early in the morning, the snow stopped, and the fog remained thick for a long time because the sun had not yet risen.
The daughter-in-law of the village chief's family had already made breakfast, turned around and said to the village chief who was still asleep on the kang, "I'm leaving!" and opened the door and walked out.
At the gate, she met two women from the same village who came not far away, greeted them with a smile, and walked to Professor Ma's small courtyard with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Luo Fan was used to getting up early, and after practicing, he swept the snow out of the yard with Fat Dahai.
"Big brother, get up so early!" Tian Cuifen led people in.
"Sister-in-law is here!" Luo Fan greeted her casually, "You guys are really early!"
"It's not early, it's time to get up when you're cooking!" Tian Cui Fen Lisuo moved the things out of the kitchen and started to work in the yard.
After a while, with the sound of chopping mutton on the "chop, chop, chop" board, the people in the house got up, and several young people from Jiangcheng saw the silver wrapped in the mountains and fields, and shouted again.
Tian Cuifen: They watched it straight.
When Hao Wenjie came in with the team members who had come down from the changing of the guard, a large pot of hot mutton noodles had just come out of the pot.
In the courtyard, those who squatted or stood were eating with a big bowl.
Suddenly, Luo Fan felt a slight vibration under his feet, it was difficult to detect if he didn't pay attention, and if there was a car passing outside, the vibration would be bigger than this.
However, Luo Fan was different from ordinary people, the vibration of the soles of his feet seemed to come from a deep place, and he disappeared with a light touch on the soles of his feet.
Looking at Hao Wenjie, who was laughing with people in the yard, Luo Fan finished his breakfast in a few bites, gestured with Hao Wenjie and walked outside.
Seeing this, Hao Wenjie hurriedly took a few sips, drank the soup in the bowl and handed it to the person next to him.
Luo Fan stood at the intersection of the path leading to the mountain, and Hao Wenjie walked over, "Mr. Luo!"
"Someone should have gone into the mountains. Luo Fan said.
"No, we didn't find a single figure all night!" Hao Wenjie was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Besides, the thermal imager didn't find anything, will you ......?"
As soon as he said this, he suddenly realized that Luo Fan's expression was very solemn, so he put away his joke thoughts, "Mr. Luo, why do you say that?"
"I just felt a tremor underground, and if that's right, they're underground, blow up the hole!" said Rovan, "but I don't know exactly where they are." ”
"Ahh
"It doesn't matter, maybe I'm mistaken, maybe I've been talking about this yesterday, it's a bit of a mess. Luo Fan suddenly smiled, and his gentle appearance made Hao Wenjie breathe a sigh of relief.
He smiled: "Vigilance still has to be maintained, I'll follow them in and have a look, in case there is no mistake!"
When he said this, he was not only looking for a step down for Luo Fan, but also a cautious reaction, after all, no one would dare to pack a ticket for this kind of thing.
"Okay, I'll go with you later!" said Rovan, "Go back!"
The two went back to the yard and entered the house, and no one else seemed to ask them what they were doing, they were all preparing for today's work.
Fat Dahai deliberately found a thin cotton coat for Luo Fan to wear, they came from Jiangcheng, and they didn't expect to encounter heavy snow, there was no other preparation at all, the shoes were also ordinary cloth shoes, or he asked someone, and bought two pairs of handmade cotton shoes from the only small shop in the village, and the two of them were finally not thin.
But after Luo Fan put on a thin cotton coat, he said that he would not wear a military coat at all, he was not afraid of the cold at all, besides, he was not used to wearing so many activities after going up the mountain.
In the end, Fat Dahai could only give up, wrapped himself in a military coat, and followed Luo Fan and Hao Wenjie behind Luo Fan and Hao Wenjie like a ball.
"Fat Dahai, you go back and wait for me, you don't have to follow. After walking for a while, Luo Fan suddenly looked back at the fat sea and shouted.
"No...... Fat Dahai gasped, "Uncle Feng asked me to follow you......"
"Go back! You follow the burden, go back and make me soup and wait. Luo Fan had no choice but to come up with this trick, and sure enough, it worked, and the fat sea stopped.
"Okay, then be careful! I'll go back. "The fat sea turned around and went back again.
The snow in the mountains is thicker, and I am not used to the climate here, although I only walked more than a hundred meters, and when I returned to the yard, Fat Dahai still sat and gasped for a while before relieving myself, and then took a bag of medicine to the kitchen to boil medicine.
Professor Ma and the others still entered the ancient tomb from the thief hole, which was much more convenient than Luo Fan and them, and they didn't have to endure the cold climate outside and the heavy snow that was not up to their knees.
At noon, Fat Dahai boiled the medicine, and went out to see it several times but didn't see Luo Fan and them come back, so he couldn't help but nag a few words.
When the people left behind heard this, they smiled and asked him, "I said, you Mr. Luo are not children, can you still lose them?"
"It's not that I'm afraid that he will lose it, but I'm afraid that he will encounter something and ignore the injuries on his body, and the injuries he suffered last time are not healed!"
"Then you have to be more careful, but don't worry, with Captain Hao and them following, nothing can happen!"
"Yes!"
Fat Dahai chatted with them for a few words and went back to the house, it was too cold outside, so he should go back and call Uncle Feng to say, so as not to worry him.
It's okay in the afternoon, and the fat sea is boring, so I follow the people left behind to watch them do things, and if there is anything to help, I will happily help take things, plus the mouth that can talk, it will soon become a pistachio here.
It's just that when it got dark, Professor Ma and the others came back, Luo Fan and the others hadn't seen the shadow yet, and Fat Dahai was a little anxious and ran to Jiang Weichen and Yuan Lang.
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Yuan, my Mr. Luo went out with Captain Hao in the morning and hasn't come back yet!"
"Haven't come back yet?" Jiang Weichen just took off his coat when he entered the house, put it on again, said hello to Yuan Lang and walked out, and Fat Dahai hurriedly followed.
Jiang Weichen was looking for a policeman surnamed Shao who Hao Wenjie was here.
"Xiao Shao, can you contact Captain Hao?" Jiang Weichen asked.
"Yes, Mr. Jiang has something to ask us for Captain Jiang?"
"No, you can contact them and ask them where they are now and when they will come back?" Jiang Weichen said.
"Okay, you can wait a while!" Xiao Shao heard that this was the case, and agreed very happily, turned around and entered their own room, and said to the colleague who was watching the machine: "Contact the captain and ask him where he is now and when he will come back." ”
The policeman sitting in front of the computer listened, and while operating the satellite communication tool in his hand, he said: "I was still wondering just now, it's past the time for the changing of the guard, and I haven't seen the change of guard come back!"
"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Xiao Shao's heart jumped when he heard this, "When was the last time you contacted the captain?"
"It's noon!"
"Hurry up!" Xiao Shao was anxious.
"What can the captain do with him, it's normal to walk slowly in such heavy snow!" muttered at the same time, and the satellite phone connected to the pine nuts in the tent in the mountains.
"What's the matter?" Matsuko's voice came.
"Where's the captain, is there any of you?" Xiao Shao asked, snatching the intercom.
"I was there before, but then I said I wanted to go down and have a look, so I went back from below with the changing of the guard, what's wrong? Didn't you go back?" Matsuko asked suspiciously.
"It's broken!" When Xiao Shao heard this, he threw the intercom and ran out, Jiang Weichen was standing at the door and was almost hit by him.
"What's the matter?" he helped Xiao Shao.
"Songzi said that the captain and they have come back from below a long time ago, but they haven't seen anyone for so long, I'll take someone to take a look!" After Xiao Shao finished speaking, he immediately shouted to the rest of the people in the courtyard: "All of them, assemble!"
Everyone who heard the movement ran out, and Professor Ma also came out, "Xiao Shao, what's the matter?"
"Professor Ma, I contacted the tent inside just now, and said that Captain Hao and the people who changed the guard had come back from below a long time ago, but they didn't see anyone now, and I was going to take someone to take a look. Xiao Shao explained to Professor Ma, and when he saw that everyone had gathered, he was ready to take people away.
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Weichen called Xiao Shao, "Your task is to stay here, it's not appropriate for you to take everyone away." ”
Xiao Shao also reacted when he patted his head, and couldn't help but curse in his mouth, "What should I do then?"
"In this way, if I take two people down, it would be more appropriate for you to leave a few people on it. Jiang Weichen said.
"Yes, Xiao Jiang is right, it would be bad if he just took a fork in the road and turned back to look for you. Professor Ma also said.
Xiao Shao had no choice but to let the others stay, and he took another person with him, ready to go down from the thief cave with Jiang Weichen.
Fat Dahai ran over, "Count me in!"
Yuan Lang also came over, "I'll go and have a look!"
Professor Ma was a little reluctant to let Jiang Weichen and Yuan Lang follow, and just wanted to pick two young people from his side to follow, Jiang Weichen had already taken the lead in getting into the thief hole.
"Hey...... What's going on?", Professor Ma asked worriedly.
Assistant Li said, "We didn't see anyone going in below!"
