Chapter 68: Disappearing
The weather in early autumn was still hot, and the group began to feel unusually cool from the city to the outskirts of the city. Qin Shanglin looked at the mountain peak winding upward: "This place doesn't seem to be particularly far away, just the mountain is high. ”
"Is the road on the mountain repaired?" Du Heng hadn't gone up yet.
"It's all been repaired, I specifically checked the local county records, and last year's livelihood project included this road. Yang Lei said and took out the book: "Tea is abundant on it, and a tea merchant went up to collect tea last year." Tea income ...... One, ten, hundred...... Millions. ”
"It's not scientific, it's not that people are lazy, how can there be so much income, is it possible to change it for the better?"
"The nature of the country is easy to change, and the chance of all people who are lazy can change it is too small. Where is the benefit of this tea-making industry?" Du Heng looked at Yang Lei.
Yang Lei took out his computer and began to check: "This store has not been distributed in China, and it is all sold abroad...... This small country in Southeast Asia. ”
"Impossible, this country is originally a country that sells tea, or is it at such a high price to buy tea?" Du Heng felt more and more wrong, "Check the route of their transportation...... Ouch!" The car suddenly tilted, and Du Heng's head was about to hit the frame of the car, but Mai Dong stretched out his hand to stop it, and his hands were red.
When the car stopped, Du Heng rubbed Mai Dong's hands distressedly: "Does it hurt?"
"It's okay, it's scary to watch, it's fine. Mai Dong comforted him. Du Heng looked at it: "It didn't hurt the bones, the soft tissues must be damaged, I'll get out of the car and give you a dressing later." ”
"Good. Mai Dong nodded: "What's going on up ahead?"
Qin Shanglin's car: "There is a big pit in front, I didn't pay attention to it just now." With that, the group got out of the car.
Zheng Qian took a look: "You really didn't pay attention, such a big pit." ”
"Don't blame him. Du Heng looked at the soil in the pit: "His surface is smooth, but there is no compaction treatment inside, the road surface will be deformed after the heavy vehicle is pressed, and when it is repaired, there is something to do surface work, our off-road vehicle, the chassis is high, the tires are heavy, and it will enter the pit as soon as it is pressed." ”
"At this time, the road is so bad that such a place can be opened to traffic?" Yang Lei said he didn't believe it.
"Don't talk about it yet, let's find a stone and pad the car first. Du Heng said that everyone went around to look for stones, and then said to Mai Dong and Zheng Qian: "You two are watching the car here, let's go look for stones." ”
Zheng Qian couldn't help but be idle: "Mai Mai has an injury on her hand, she just looks at the car, I will go with you, and many people will take care of it." ”
"Are you here alone?" Du Heng looked at Mai Dong.
"What's not to do, I'm bold now, don't worry. Mai Dong reassured him. Du Heng looked at her: "Then let's go." ”
"Stay safe. Mai Dong admonished, leaned on the side of the car and watched them go up the mountain.
Mai Dong took out her mobile phone: "There is no signal in this place?" She shook her mobile phone, raised it a little higher and wanted to connect to the network, and suddenly smelled a strange fragrance: "What smell?" She was about to turn her head, but she felt that the world was spinning, and she fell down in a daze, and at the last second before she fell unconscious, she secretly screamed bad!
"Hurry up, hurry up. A rough voice shouted, and several people quickly carried Mai Dong away, and did not forget to pick up the mobile phone before leaving.
Du Heng and the others came back with the stones: "Where did Mai Mai go?" Zheng Qian saw that there was no one next to the car.
"Will you go to the side?" Qin Shanglin asked, looking at Du Heng's blue face and being a little scared.
"No way! She had always been cautious, and said that she would not go far if she waited here. Du Heng observed the surroundings: "There are other people who have come." Here are a few sets of footprints. He was even more anxious: "Mai Mai must have had an accident." Is her phone in the car?"
Zheng Qian looked at it: "No!"
"Give me the computer. Du Heng took Yang Lei's computer: "Previously, I was worried that Mai Mai would be in danger, and I implanted a miniature positioning system in her mobile phone, but now I can only count on this." Du Heng tried to search for the signal of his mobile phone on the computer, and a small dot appeared on the map, and the little dot moved slowly: "That's it, southwest direction, the car is still here, save people first." ”
A few people nodded, followed the instructions on the computer and walked deep and shallow to the mountain, they were not familiar with the terrain, and the distance between them and the team of people in front of them was getting bigger and bigger, and after walking for more than two hours, the computer had begun to prompt low voltage: "Is there a backup power supply?"
"I didn't bring it. Yang Lei regretted in his heart, he didn't expect to use the computer to the point of running out of power.
"Are we in that village?" Zheng Qian saw that there were some tea trees planted sparsely in the village, many of which were not managed and grew strangely, and more of them were yellow and withered.
"There's no way, Mai Mai must be in this village, so I have to go in and investigate. Du Heng closed the computer, carried his bag, and several people walked into the village.
"Who are you guys and what are you doing?" said a lame old man.
Qin Shanglin stepped forward: "Uncle, we are donkey friends who go up the mountain to play, the car is broken down below, we have a friend who doesn't know where to go, let's go all the way, look for it all the way, come here, you see it's going to be dark, can you rest here for the night?"
"No, no, there are no outsiders in the village! you go down the mountain quickly!" the uncle's tone was very resolute.
"Don't, uncle, we don't live in vain, we give money. Qin Shanglin said that he was going to take out his wallet.
"No......"
"Nothing can't be done. A simple descendant came over from behind: "My uncle is worried that everyone will not live well, but now that it is dark, it is dangerous for you to go down the mountain, stay in the village, and sleep tomorrow." The man said and shook the old man's hand: "The air in the village is good, and it is easiest to sleep peacefully, so it is no problem to stay for one night." As he spoke, he looked at Qin Shanglin's wallet.
Qin Shanglin hurriedly counted ten hundred sheets: "The four of us will stay for one night." ”
"Okay, okay. The man smiled and took the money: "You can call me Dazhu, come with me, I'll take you to my house!"
Qin Shanglin walked through the news: "I have read the introduction, saying that our village is famous for tea, and it seems that I haven't seen much tea." ”
Dazhu smiled: "It's not right when you came, we don't have much tea here this season, and there is a large tea forest in the mountains behind the village......"
"Where is it, let's go see tomorrow?"
"That's not good!" Da Zhu refused, then covered up again, and looked around: "The people in the village are xenophobic, and I am taking a risk to bring you back, don't walk around, when the time comes, you will be driven down the mountain at night, then walking at night will kill people, in the first two years, there are several people who come to travel, and they have to go to see some meteor showers at night...... He fell at the bottom of the cliff and didn't even find his body. ”
"That'...... It's broken!" Qin Shanglin said: "We also have a friend, she was guarding the car on the road just now, and she disappeared when we went back." We found it all the way up. ”
Dazhu's eyes flashed slightly: "In which section is it that no one is missing?"
"It's halfway up the mountain. Du Heng replied and observed this person carefully.
"Gee, how can you park your car in that place? It's the famous 'ghost cliff'. It's okay not to stop, but the person got out of the car, inhaled the miasma in that section, and walked to the bottom of the cliff unconsciously. Most of your friends are ...... There is less bad luck!"
"No...... No way. Yang Lei made a frightened expression: "But we also got out of the car, no, it's okay." ”
"This is the strange thing about that place, it kills a person in one day, you must not go out of the house tonight, don't move if you see anything strange, just sleep until dawn." ”
Du Heng watched him sing and play, and became more and more sure that this village is not simple, Mai Mai, where are you?
Mai Dong woke up feeling like he was in a hole, and there was a low cry in his ears. She felt her whole body sore, and a sharp voice came from her ear: "Awake?"
Mai Dong opened his eyes and saw a woman dressed in red in front of him: "Where is this?"
"It doesn't matter where you are, what matters is that you are obedient now. The woman touched her face: "It's still a chick, and it can be sold for a good price." ”
"Are you human traffickers?" Mai Dong asked, touching his phone on his body, and sure enough, it had disappeared.
"You're not crying?" the woman looked at her strangely.
"I'm a little short of water, I can't cry, can I give saliva to drink?" Mai Dong looked at her
The woman poured a glass of water: "You're not worried about me being poisoned?"
"I'm sore and weak now, I can't move, and you expect me to sell it for a good price, and you won't use other medicines on me. Mai Dong drank the water: "Do you have anything to eat, I'm a little hungry." ”
"Cold steamed buns, do you want to eat them?"
"Eat. "Mai Dong is not picky, he can only have strength when he is full, just boiled water, Mai Dong swallowed the steamed bun that shaved his throat dryly, choked and rolled his eyes, and the woman smiled as if she saw something interesting.
Mai Dong finally swallowed it, and saw the girl who was still crying next to her: "Why does she keep crying?"
"I don't know how to run, and I always want to run, so our people teach me a lesson. The woman saw her eat steamed buns: "You will be more sensible than her." ”
"I've always been very sorry for my life. Mai Dong looked at the girl's bruises all over her body, and only her face could be seen.
"Don't treat her?"
"The injuries are all on the body, we are in this line, only look at the face. The woman found one who could speak, and asked, "You seem to be quite clever, why did you get here too?"
"I came out to play with a few travelers, I heard that the tea here is good, I wanted to come and see, but I didn't expect the car to fall into the pit halfway, I guarded the car alone, and somehow I fainted. Mai Dong looked at her casually, her fingers were delicate and smooth, and she shouldn't be doing farm work.
"Then you are unlucky, but you are also blessed, we will send you away tonight, and when you get there, with your appearance, it will not be a problem to eat and drink spicy food. ”
Mai Dong lowered his head and didn't speak, he was going to leave tonight. Du Heng, can they find her?
