Five-seven-eight cabins
Early in the morning of January 6, Zhou Min and his entourage set off for Laojun Mountain.
In addition to Zhou Min, Chen Yunzhang and others, there were also Cui Dazhi, Qiao Meng, Qiao De and Er Qiao's subordinates.
Originally, Joad didn't plan to go, but because Qiao Meng insisted on going, he was not at ease, so he followed.
"Boss Qiao, your injuries are not healed yet, and the weather is so cold, you should still wait for us here. ”
Qiao Meng shook his head and said, "If I don't go with you, I'm not at ease." Lao Cui and I are still your subordinates in a sense, how can there be a commander to take risks, and the subordinates are waiting at home. ”
"Boss Qiao, you, Boss Cui, and Mr. Qiao have helped us enough, and we are very grateful. Don't say anything more about the chief and not the chief. ”
"Neither of the two chiefs has seen each other like this, so don't let me stay anymore. I've already arranged the car, let's go. ”
The bandits and the lynx each escorted Hua Sanye and the leopard to the two cars in front of them. The other cars followed, and they would first reach the town of Yanbian, not far from Weihuling, and then change horses to Laojun Mountain.
It took them nearly seven hours to drive from Changchun to Yanbian Town.
"Everyone must be tired, there is also our Qiao family's shop in Yanbian, go and rest first. ”
Under the leadership of Qiao Meng, more than 20 people lived in Qiao's Inn.
"Let's rest and eat something, and I'll have people prepare the horses and things to go up the mountain. ”
"Boss Qiao, are you ready for the shooting precision rifle you prepared for us?"
"Ready, and all with scopes. ”
The owner of the Qiaojia Inn has already found a guide for them to enter the mountain. So as not to be confused by Hua Sanye and the leopard.
However, the weather did not fulfill people's wishes, and it snowed heavily at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The snow was very heavy, and with the strong winds, the visibility was less than 10 meters. At this time, if you go up the mountain, it will be the old birthday star hanging: looking for death.
Zhou Min stood in front of the window, staring blankly at the heavy snow outside.
"Minmin, don't worry, Jiren has his own natural appearance. It's too cold outside, so let's go to the kang to warm up first. There are many Koreans in this area of Yanbian, and their living habits are very different from those of the Han people. Their kang houses are a major feature of the local ethnic group.
The kang is burning very hot. It is definitely a great blessing in life to have such a hot kang head to rest in the cold winter.
At dawn the next day, the heavy snowstorm finally stopped.
Under the dual guidance of the guide and Hua Sanye, a group of more than 20 people rode on horses and set off to Laojun Mountain with supplies.
Last night's heavy snow really turned Changbai Mountain into a white mountain. Heavy snow like goose feathers covered the entire peak. The depth of the snow reaches the calves.
If it weren't for horseback, their way up the hill would be difficult, but even with horses, they would be slow.
"Everyone pauses and rests for a while. ”
When they dismounted, they tied their horses to trees. They took out the dry food they brought with them to replenish their energy.
Zhou Min, who didn't drink alcohol, had to pour a sip of liquor to warm up his body at this time. Originally, the weather in the northeast was cold, and the mountains were covered with heavy snow, and the temperature was a few degrees lower than that of the city. It can definitely be turned into ice.
Trabeculae, how far is it?
"Mr. Chen, did you see that peak? That is Laojun Mountain. ”
As the saying goes, look at the mountain and run dead horses, with their current location, the straight-line distance from Laojun Mountain is two kilometers. But it's not so easy to walk the mountain road, and with heavy snowfall, you may not be able to reach it for four or five hours.
Half an hour later, everyone was fully armed again, with all their brains, scarves, and gloves on, and only a pair of eyes were exposed, but their eye hairs were also frozen.
Zhou Min didn't dare to breathe hard now, she felt that the cold air as soon as she inhaled would be like a knife, cutting her lungs very painfully.
By noon they had only walked half the distance before they had to stop again to rest.
Luckily, there were a few cabins in the place where they stopped this time, which were supposed to have been built by hunters in the mountains.
The wooden house is all made of pine wood, but it is so tightly fitting that the air conditioning cannot penetrate it, and there is even a set of earthen kang inside.
"Go out and pick up some branches, light this stove, let's sit on the kang and warm up, it's too cold!"
After about 15 minutes, the kang slowly heated up, and everyone sat on the kang to rest, drinking the soju they brought.
"Bandit, why do you keep looking back along the way?"
The bandit frowned and said, "I always feel like someone is watching us. ”
"Monitor, pull it down, who is okay to spy on me in the woods on this cold and cold day? Don't be suspicious, look at who is wandering in the forest on this snowy and windy day? Isn't that sick?"
"Silly lynx, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, this place is not our territory. If this is what happened in the woods, it should not be called unspirited to the heavens and the earth. ”
"The bandits are right, we have to be cautious, in the past, we have trained everyone in the mountains and plains, and we have not trained in snow areas like the northeast. If we have the chance, we should organize a snow training. ”
"Hey, do you all smell a strange scent?"
"It smells like it. ”
"What does it smell like, how do I feel a little dizzy. ”
"Yes, it's a bit dizzy. ”
Everyone was dizzy. I was very weak.
Qiao Meng's body was relatively weak at the moment, and after smelling the fragrance, he was even more shaky, and leaned directly on Qiao De's body.
"Third master, this is a misty incense. ”
"I smell it too, as you say. ”
"Third master, let's run. The leopard said, holding his breath. As soon as he smelled the fragrance just now, he knew that these people were on the way.
Hunters in the barren mountains and mountains, the house is not entered casually. Because it is possible that this cabin was built by bandits, and they did something in it.
For those who go up the mountain, the chalet is a temporary base to shelter from the wind and rain.
But for bandits, it's more like a cage for them to catch animals.
Because they will put the treated incense in the "cage" in advance, as long as there is a fire, the incense will be ignited and volatilized, and then the people in the house will be smoked. The medicinal properties of this incense are relatively strong, and people can't wake up for two or three hours.
The bandits who patrol the mountains will inspect these small cabins one after another, and then bring their "prey" back to the mountains.
There is nothing wrong with the feeling of the bandits, and it is true that there are people who are following them all the time. Those who followed them were the bandits on Laojun Mountain.
In fact, as soon as they arrived in Yanbian Town, they were discovered by bandits on Laojun Mountain.
Originally, Lao Jun Shan's second master thought that the person who was trading was coming, but when he personally went down the mountain to investigate the situation, he found that he didn't know this group of people at all.
After several turnarounds, he heard that these people wanted to go to their Laojun Mountain to save people.
Hehe, how could he let go of the big fat sheep sent to the door?
Along the way, he sent people to follow the group. Just waiting for them to get cash in the hunter's house, he came to collect the booty, and as he expected, Zhong Ming and the others were all smoked in a few small cabins.
