The numb-faced Li Dazhu continued: "There was a light rain that morning, mushrooms are the easiest to pick after the rain, after the rain stopped, I went up the mountain and picked up this ring in a banyan forest, I saw that the ring was very good-looking, it was better than the ring worn by rich people on TV, it was estimated to be very valuable, so I went directly down the mountain to Baishan Town, and found Boss Mo of Yunshan Jewelry Store, but I didn't expect him to give me 10,000 yuan ......."

Li Dazhu was still gushing about the excitement of picking up the ring, but Ye Zhenzhen interrupted him and asked, "Can you still find the location where you picked up the ring?"

"Yes!"

"Take us there. ”

"Now?" the numb-faced Li Dazhu looked at the moon outside the window, a little embarrassed, "It's the middle of the night, and the mountain road is not easy to walk." ”

Alex took out another stack of RMB and shook it in front of Li Dazhu, "Take us over now, when you arrive, the money will be yours, if you take it the wrong way......"

Alex took out his dagger again, and the threat couldn't have been more obvious.

Qian Zhuang bears the guts, Li Dazhu saw the money in his eyes, and all the dangers were left behind, and a smile bloomed on Mazi's face, "Okay, let's go now, you can get there before dawn, I know the way up the mountain, even if it's dark, it's good, besides, there is still the moon tonight." ”

Li Dazhu got up, didn't turn on the light, found a dilapidated flashlight in the dark in the simple room, turned on the flashlight, the light was dim, and it was still flickering, and the flashlight was not in good contact.

I slapped the flashlight with my hand, and the dim light turned off at once, and the flashlight was completely broken.

Li Dazhu laughed embarrassedly, "It's okay without a flashlight, the moonlight is bright, and you can see the mountain road clearly." ”

——

Li Dazhu took Zhen Zhen and Alex, without alarming anyone, quietly left the leprosy village and sneaked into the dense and endless tropical rainforest along the grass behind the village.

The forest around the leprosy village is typical of tropical rainforest vegetation, with tall broad-leaved trees, thick tabular roots, woody vines, strangled plants everywhere, and old stems and flowers that emit a faint fragrance in the moonlight.

Entering the depths of the dense forest, Li Dazhu's speed was noticeably slower than just now, and he could always find a narrow path between the vine trunks when Zhen Zhen and Alex thought there was no way.

Li Dazhu explained to the two people behind him as he walked, "Only I know this road, because I often come to the mountains to look for mushrooms, and I walk more often, so I step on a path." ”

Zhen Zhen was deeply puzzled by the "small road" mentioned by Li Dazhu, where can she tell that it is a road?

Alex followed closely behind Li Dazhu vigilantly, and complained, "Where is the road? You won't just take us around the rainforest and then point out a random place and tell us where the ring was found, right?"

Li Dazhu kept at his feet, and shouted unhappily: "I said you young man, how can you think so badly of people? I, Li Dazhu, love money, but I have never done anything lacking in virtue, and I said that if I take you to the place, I will take you to the right place, and at our current speed, we will be able to find the banyan tree in another half an hour." ”

Li Dazhu swore by it, but Alex was still not at ease, and threatened: "I hope it is as you say, otherwise it will ......"

Before Alex finished speaking, Li Dazhu picked up the conversation, "Otherwise, just show the knife, right? Don't worry, young man, I see that you two are also practitioners, how can I, a disabled person, beat you? I will definitely take you safely to the place, and then take you back to the leprosy village safely, and when you return to the village, you will give me the money, so it's all right." ”

The sky grew brighter, and after passing through a large forest of woody vines, the three of them heard the sound of running water.

Li Dazhu happily shouted to the two: "Did you hear the sound of water? ”

In the early morning light, the three of them walked out of the vine forest, opposite a higher mountain, not far from the valley at the foot of the mountain, a large banyan forest, countless aerial roots hanging in the air, under the banyan tree is a small river that overflows to the knees.

The river flows slowly through the roots of the banyan trees and out of the valley along the valley topography, where the water crashes against the rocks in a narrow place.

With so many banyan trees, at a glance, stretching for at least a few kilometers, which one is the place where the ring was found?

Li Dazhu looked at the amazed eyes of a man and a woman beside him, and said with a smile: "This banyan forest is actually a banyan tree, which has grown for many years and becomes a banyan forest. ”

It's off the beaten track, how can Senior Nan's ring appear here?

Li Dazhu pointed to the place where the banyan forest meets the moist soil by the river, "That's where the ring was found." ”

Following behind Li Dazhu, the three of them bypassed the low-lying puddle by the river, stepped on the muddy dirt road at the bottom of the valley, and walked to the target banyan tree one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The thick trunk of the banyan tree, the aerial roots hanging in mid-air, the luxuriant canopy, looking up, the light through the canopy is getting stronger and stronger, and the bunches shine into the banyan forest, just like being in a fairy tale world.

Li Dazhu leaned over and pointed to the roots of the banyan tree soaked in the river, "That afternoon, I found the ring here. ”

Ye Zhenzhen leaned over and put her hand into the water, the river flowed slowly, and her fingers felt the direction of the water.

The water flows from west to east, from the opposite high mountains to the low-lying valleys.

Fingers touch the roots of the banyan tree, which are covered with a layer of slippery green moss due to the perennial immersion in water.

Ye Zhenzhen stood up and checked the surrounding terrain, there was a pristine rainforest landscape everywhere, and there was no trace of human destruction.

In the wet mud by the river, there are messy footprints, but they are not human footprints, they are left by animals in the rainforest who come to the river to drink, and there are large lumps of animal feces.

By all indications, very few people come here.

Ye Zhenzhen asked Li Dazhu beside her, "Apart from you, who else has been here?"

"No one came but me. Li Dazhu said with certainty, "Most of the people in the leprosy village are disabled, and they can't walk such a long way, and the people in the surrounding villages think that there are wild animals here, and they rarely come here, and there are even fewer outsiders, and without our locals as guides, we can't walk out of this primeval forest at all." ”

Alex was wet with the dew mist in the woods, and now he didn't find a clue, so he was displeased, and complained, "No one came?

"It's possible. Li Dazhu looked up at the sky, "I used to see helicopters flying around in the sky in the leprosy village, and the ring might have really fallen from the plane." ”

The pock-faced Li Dazhu said sincerely, Zhen Zhen and Alex glanced at each other, and asked at the same time in their hearts, why are helicopters often haunted in such a remote place?

Alex asked, "What are those helicopters for?"

Li Dazhu laughed embarrassedly, "How can I know? The plane flies in the sky, and I have lived around the leprosy village since I was a child. ”

There was self-deprecation and envy in Li Dazhu's words, and what the helicopter was doing was indeed not something that Li Dazhu could know.
