Shotguns were definitely well hidden in the car - they were a crucial tool, and they deservedly deserved to be treated as such. Before they set off, they were quite sure that the gun was hidden under the seats, wrapped in paper bags. As for the bullets, they are packed under an inconspicuous box and placed in the trunk of the car.

If it was said that one of them accidentally didn't put the shotgun in the car before they set off, Boss Xu was the first to not believe it. In China, guns are a big deal, so he personally checked and confirmed this matter repeatedly.

But now, it's empty under the seats. The shotgun that had been placed here, including the cardboard package on the outside, was gone. Again, this is an irrefutable fact.

So the answer seems to be obvious, that is, the mountain god took it, if the stranger they saw before was the mountain god.

Lao Pan ran out of the car in a panic and kowtowed to the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and his mouth was desperately repentant. Even though the other two people were not so exaggerated, they couldn't help but feel frightened.

X, how powerful are the mountain gods these years? I know that I want to take away the shotgun? You know, if I can take the shotgun, it's obviously a shot in the head while they're sleeping.

The mountain god did not say a word, nor did he cause them physical harm, but the warning in his actions was so strong that even a fool could feel it.

After a round of tossing, several people felt that they were hungry.

This is not surprising, although sleep can reduce a person's metabolism and make people unresponsive to hunger for a short period of time after waking up, but they do sleep too long, and hunger is a normal reaction.

Of course, hunger was no big deal, and the car was carrying enough supplies. A few people quickly got a stove on the side and burned something to eat. At this time, they discovered another serious problem.

The food and water in the trunk were missing.

Their supplies were carried separately - the trunk had a large head, and the driver's side had a small head. This is also the norm, there is no need to take a lot of trouble to take it from the salute every time you prepare food, and it is much more convenient to put some of it around. But now, the little head in the car is still there, and the big head in the trunk is gone.

Of course, the mountain gods didn't leave them with a chance - taking away the shotguns just made it impossible for them to hunt, and taking away the food and water prevented them from even the original plan of "taking a look". The mountain god doesn't need water, because apparently the mountain god knows how to turn snow into water even if he is an idiot (in fact, this meadow has a lot of streams formed by melting snow in the summer, and this water breathes life into the barren land of this high mountain). The mountain gods took away the food and water, apparently telling them to turn around and leave immediately.

As for where these supplies go...... It's so big, you can throw it anywhere. Don't look at this place, it's just an insignificant dot on the aerial map, and it's a lot of trouble to find out. But a specific person stands here, and this is a grassland with no edge in sight. In such a wilderness, a bag is wrapped or something, let alone one, even if a hundred are lost, with the ability of human beings, it is completely impossible to retrieve it.

The three of them were depressed, but this time it was okay, there was no need to even discuss and discuss, just turn around and leave after eating.

Then they discovered one of the most serious problems - the car was scrapped.

That's right, their cars are actually classic cars that are past their end of life. After a few days of parking in this wilderness, the car completely stalled and could not start. When it turns on every day, everything is fine. But after a few days of stopping, every part of the old man's body seemed to go on strike en masse, indicating that he was going to retire.

This kind of classic car doesn't look at the leather and durable, but perhaps because of this, it is also very serious when there is a real problem. Wu Jia has the skills to repair the car, and the car also has the corresponding tools, but everything turns out to be useless. Tossed back and forth for about an hour, until the sun went down, and finally had to give up.

But then again, this car shouldn't have been done by the mountain god. Because if the mountain god wants to, there is no need to let the car break down, just throw it into a corner. Although the car is large, it is equally difficult for mortals to find it when they are thrown into such a field.

It was a difficult night.

For this season, day and night are two different concepts. During the day, there is at least the sun, which provides a certain amount of heat. At night, there is only the cold wind howling on the plateau. In fact, environmental problems are secondary, and more serious are psychological shadows. Although several people say that they can be regarded as old rivers and lakes, they have not encountered such a dilemma.

In the following days, they may need to use their legs and carry food that would normally be enough to eat for two or three days, and a trip that may take ten days. That's right, it takes almost ten days to get from here to a place where there are inhabitants. That's the overwhelming difference between the wheel and the human leg.

If, within ten days, there is a massive cooling of the population, or even snow, things will become even more dangerous. Even Lao Pan, who has a wealth of experience in activities in the region, knows that things are not easy. There is a chance that they will never be able to get out of this area again. You know, they're poachers (or intend to be poachers) and don't carry satellite phones or anything like that. Even if he died, no one would know, let alone come to the rescue.

It was already dark.

A faint red light appeared in the darkness, and it was someone smoking. The mountain god took their weapons, food, and water, but not their cigarettes.

Boss Xu sat on the side of the car and took a hard sip. As a poacher, he is a battle-hardened man, and he feels like he's been through everything. But this is the first time that such a ghostly thing has happened.

The cold of the night creeps into the crevices of the clothes, making people feel cold. And this is far from the limit, according to the normal seasonal variation, the temperature will drop further in the coming period. Now they still have a car to block the wind (although it is a convertible, it is much warmer inside than outside), but it will be difficult for a while.

Footsteps sounded around him, and he didn't have to look back to know who was coming.

"Old Pan, this time we may really be punished. Boss Xu smiled bitterly. He has been doing this kind of business for a long time, and he has never believed in ghosts and gods. But now you have to believe if you don't believe it. The mountain god appeared and let a few of them sleep inexplicably, and slept for several days, this is not a matter of saying "I don't believe" that can pass the pond. "This time we go back, it may be more auspicious. ”

The severity of the situation speaks for itself. After all, Bei Ye is a minority in this world, and most people, even hunters like them, are not strong in their ability to survive in the wild. At least this trip is at the risk of your life.

"It's going to take ten days. Lao Pan also lit a cigarette. "There is a high probability of snow in ten days. ”

If it does snow, the speed at which people move forward will be further reduced, which is equivalent to walking for an extra day or two. Don't underestimate these two days, this is the difference between life and death. A person can go hungry for three days, but very few people can go hungry for five days. And if the snow is too heavy, you have to avoid the snow halfway. When the time comes, everything will really be over.

"Are you going back?" asked Boss Xu.

"Let's go, I shouldn't be able to go back. Pan replied.

"Lao Pan, do you have any solution?" Boss Xu heard the tone of his companion and immediately understood that there was a play.

"Boss Xu, I'll be honest, do you believe that the mountain god did this?"

"Believe, how can you not believe it?" This is a person who has personally faced supernatural abilities.

Therefore, the bell must be tied to the bell. Our current difficulties are caused by the mountain gods, and of course we can only ask the mountain gods for mercy. I've heard here in the past that the mountain gods here will accept wishes. Lao Pan said. "The mountain god here is so spiritual, tomorrow when the day dawns, the three of us make a vow together, and the mountain god will definitely let us leave safely. ”

"What a vow?"

"The three of us begged the mountain god to send us home safely. Lao Pan said. "In return, we can make three promises. ”

"What kind of wish is appropriate?" asked Boss Xu. "The mountain god shouldn't ask for three sacrifices, right?"

"The mountain god won't want that. It's something that the land lord wants. Lao Pan was dismissive. Although his beliefs seem a little different, where does Boss Xu dare to laugh at the other party at this time. The real thing is in front of you. "What the mountain god wants is merit. I think we can swear that everyone will save someone's life to repay the mountain god for sparing his life. ”

He didn't mention the Tibetan antelope. In fact, in this case, even Boss Xu didn't dare to mention it. This place is obviously blessed by the mountain god, and every grass, tree, bird and beast is under the jurisdiction of the mountain god. Obviously, their trip to hunt the Tibetan antelope was the root cause of the offense against the gods. The mountain god has made it clear that he will tell you to get out. If you are wrong again and again, let alone such a spirit, you can incarnate a holy mountain god, even if the clay Bodhisattva has fire. It would be nice to be able to leave alive.

"Medium!" Boss Xu listened to the other party's opinion and slapped his thigh hard. "That's it!"

At dawn the next day, the three of them had some breakfast and collected a pile of stones not far from the car. According to Lao Pan's instructions, an altar was built with earth and stones. Then the three men knelt before the altar and bowed their heads.

First, Lao Pan stepped forward. I don't know where he learned these rituals, first of all, he danced inexplicably. Then he began to repent to the mountain god, explaining that he was all lustful for profit, and wanted to poach Tibetan antelopes, which angered the mountain god. Then he explained that he was in a dangerous situation and that the car had broken down. If you just walk away, there is a chance that you will not be able to go back. In the end, Lao Pan begged the mountain god to forgive. If they could be allowed to leave this place, they would be transformed into good people, and they vowed to save their lives to repay the grace of the mountain gods today.

Lao Pan ended, and the other two took turns to come up. They all draw gourds in the same way, and repent and make wishes according to Lao Pan's appearance. In order to prevent the mountain gods from understanding their foreign accents, Lao Pan also deliberately relayed their words in the local accent on the side.

As soon as the three of them finished their ritual, they faintly heard the sound of a car engine. A few people turned around and saw an unfamiliar car that had driven up to their car. Not only that, but the strange vehicle also stopped on the side of the broken car.
