Chapter 30: The Search for a Guide to the Past

"It's really not the heart of the Yellow River that doesn't die!" Zhang Dagang scolded secretly.

However, such a thrilling scene happened just on the edge of the swamp, and if you go any further, there will be casualties. The next day, just after breakfast, the crowd began to talk. can only be discussed, and the final decision has to be made by Liu Zhendong.

"Keep going. ”

Liu Zhendong only said four words and did not make unnecessary explanations. Wu Xianhui had a sad face, and he did not dissuade him.

"However, how can you walk through such a large swamp?" Zhang Dagang asked in a low voice, he knew that it was useless to say more, and the decision made by Director Liu was probably not touched by thunder.

Vincent looked at the swamp in front of him and said, "I already saw it last night, and from my previous experience, it shouldn't be a big problem to just walk along the middle road." ”

Everyone knows that even if it is Dao Mountain, it has to be up. There was no objection, so I packed my bags and hit the road.

Vinson took the lead, Jack Bauer followed, followed by Zhang Shanfeng and a part of the security personnel, scientific researchers, and chef teams, and Zhou Tieqi led the rest of the security personnel to break behind.

All the way forward, except for the giant python that emerges from the reeds from time to time to make people cool behind, there is no danger.

At nightfall, I finally walked out of the swamp. Ahead was an open field, still damp. In front of you is a jungle, and unlike the previous ones, the trees here are mostly conifers, taller and denser. The terrain is not as flat as the jungle in front of it, but rather a gentle slope that stretches upwards to form a long mountain range with no end in sight. A large group of golden snub-nosed monkeys frolicked around the edge of the jungle, and they were not afraid to see humans, and some daring golden monkeys even ran over to snatch human food.

"Yo yo...... ......" Vincent waved his hands to drive away the daring golden monkeys.

Liu Zhendong ordered to camp on the spot, and he also took out the tent from his backpack, and when he was about to set up the tent, he vaguely saw a figure in the jungle.

He was wary.

Zhou Tieqi also saw the figure, the bullet was loaded, and the gun was aimed.

The figure was getting closer and closer, and although it was not clear what the other person looked like, it was certain that it was a person.

Ten Type 54 pistols were aimed at him or her. Closer and more real. He was a hunter with a shotgun on his back and a string of prey wrapped around his waist: pheasants and hares.

He walked to the edge of the jungle, and the monkeys became noisy, jumping up and down, panicking!

"What person?" Zhou Tieqi shouted loudly.

The hunter was originally just looking at the ground, but when he suddenly saw the group of people in front of him, he was startled. He untied the prey from his waist, threw it to the ground, raised his hands high, and said, "Don't shoot, these are all picked up, not by me." ”

Zhou Tieqi looked at the prey dripping with blood, and had a number in his heart. At that time, Shenlongjia had just been listed as a national key protected forest and became a hunting reserve. The hunter in front of him thought they were here to patrol the mountains.

"Take your prey and walk slowly. ”

The hunter wrapped his prey around his waist again and walked slowly.

The man was tall, with a red face and a thick beard that almost covered his entire mouth, and he looked like he hadn't been home for a long time.

"What's your name?" Zhou Tieqi held his gun, not daring to let his guard down at all.

"Wang Ergou. ”

"What for?"

"It's okay to stay at home, come out and pick up some dead things. ”

"Tell the truth!" Zhou Tieqi shouted.

Wang Ergou shook his head and said, "Hit ...... Hunt. ”

Zhou Tieqi put away the pistol, didn't return the holster on his waist, and said, "It's right to say no earlier!"

The rest of the security personnel also put away their pistols.

Wang Ergou relaxed a little and asked, "Are you ......?"

"The expedition team. ”

Wang Ergou completely put his mind at ease, hammered his chest, and said: "But it scared me to death, I thought it was a patrol, I thought I was going to squat in a prison cell now!"

"Fellow, the harvest is not small!" Liu Zhendong walked up and said with a smile.

Wang Ergou shook his head and replied, "Not now, the prey is very fine!"

Liu Zhendong made a calculation and asked, "How much money can you sell these things for?"

"Alas, there is no money, all so that the wife and children will not go hungry. ”

"In this case, fellow, give you a good errand to ensure that your family will not go hungry for a year. ”

Wang Erkou's appetite was hung up, and he became a little excited, "What errand?"

"Be our guide. Liu Zhendong replied.

"Guide, where are you going?"

Liu Zhendong turned around and said, "Wait a minute." With that, he took out the hand-drawn map from his backpack.

"Here, you've been around for a long time, you should be familiar with this place. Liu Zhendong pointed to the red dot on the map and said.

Wang Ergou looked at it carefully, and then he was shocked, and his head shook like a rattle, "I can't go here, no one can go." ”

"Why did the fellow say that?"

"It's nothing if you just climb over this mountain, it only takes two days. After crossing this mountain, there is the Savage Valley in front, and legend has it that there are savages in the Savage Valley! This is us, I am already the farthest person, and I only dare to go to the Savage Valley. ”

Wang Ergou pursed his lips and continued: "You guys, I think it's better to forget it." ”

"You name it. Liu Zhendong said.

Wang Ergou shook his head again, "It's not a matter of money, even if you pass the Savage Valley, there is still a long way to go, and no one knows what demons and monsters will be." ”

Liu Zhendong stretched out five fingers and said, "Five thousand." ”

Wang Ergou swallowed. At that time, this was the income of a working family for several years. Not to mention that he is a peasant, it is simply astronomical!

He hesitated for a while, then broke off Liu Zhendong's fingers, "Forget it, I can't earn this money." ”

"Ten thousand!" Liu Zhendong let go, and this figure was almost a quarter of the scientific research funding. But if you don't have someone who is more familiar with the local area to lead the way, it's really hard to continue.

Wang Ergou swallowed his saliva again, still shaking his head.

"Fellow, do me a favor, I'm Liu Zhendong!" Liu Zhendong made a killer move.

However, what he didn't expect was that in this era when food and clothing have not been completely solved, few people will pay attention to national affairs. Not to mention this poor and remote country, and the information is not smooth.

"Who is Liu Zhendong?" asked Wang Ergou.

Liu Zhendong was a little helpless.

Zhang Shanfeng walked up and explained to Wang Ergou, and Wang Ergou was in a fog.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Shanfeng made another verbal attack, Wang Ergou was a little shaken, and said, "Alas, it's not that I don't want to take you there, it's just that ......"

"It's okay to say that, fellow. Liu Zhendong said.

Wang Ergou explained: "Yes, there is an imperial tomb in the depths of the jungle, and many tomb robbers are delusional to find the treasure, but no one can come back alive, except for one person. ”

"Who?"

Wang Ergou continued: "That was before the liberation, I don't know what the name of that person is, I also heard from the elders, saying that the person went crazy when he came back, but he just said that he had encountered a ghost." Since then, there are not many people who dare to go anymore......"

Before he finished speaking, he looked at the group of people in front of him with a look of suspicion.

Liu Zhendong saw his concerns and said, "Don't worry, fellow countryman, we are not tomb robbers. ”

"Well, this is an approval. Liu Zhendong took out the approval document from his bag again and said.

Wang Ergou looked at the approval document and muttered, "It's really engaged in scientific research?"

Liu Zhendong nodded and begged, "Help, fellow." ”

Wang Ergou thought about it for a while, and finally reluctantly agreed.

"I can say okay, you have to listen to me on the way, if you see that it is wrong, come back immediately, okay?"

Liu Zhendong nodded.

"My money ......"

"Don't worry, fellow, the country won't rely on your money. ”

After camping, Wang Ergou was very generous, handed over the prey on his body to Dai Mingzhong, and walked towards the jungle.

As soon as Dai Mingzhong finished cooking, he saw Wang Ergou dragging a wild boar back.

Wang Ergou put the dying wild boar in front of Dai Mingzhong, and said excitedly: "I really didn't expect to meet the boar, this guy has cost me a lot of effort." ”

Dai Mingzhong smiled and stretched out his thumb. He took out a kitchen knife, disemboweled the wild boar, skewered it on a large wooden stick, and roasted it on a fire.

After coming out for a few days, I ate vegetarian food every day, and everyone no longer knew the taste of meat. I don't care about any no-hunting areas, should I eat it, ask my stomach first.

Fill your stomach, rush to sleep, wait for tomorrow, and explore the unknown.
