Chapter 3 Let's run away
The two of them gossiped while drinking tea, and Qiao Hai also told Cheng Mo what happened back then. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoCheng Mo also knows a little bit about Qiao Hai's previous affairs, but this time Qiao Hai seems to be in trouble that is difficult to solve. Although the level of the fifth prospecting team is not low, it still has more than enough heart and strength for that department.
"Brother Cheng, I think the things that the department is going to do this time will not be small, I was lucky to survive last time, who can guarantee that I will survive this time? That department doesn't take human life seriously, and I don't want to die. I can't hide if I can't be provoked? Or I'll go and hide on that hill of yours for two days. Let Biaozi watch it here, and I'll come back when it's okay. Maybe the dog-eat-dog in that department will forget about me, a little person? Qiao Hai said with a wry smile while smoking. But looking at the expression, I also know that it is impossible at this time.
"Ah Hai, you can only hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime. After all, you have to face it. We need to think of a more stable way. Cheng Mo said after taking a sip of tea.
"I know, isn't it a day to hide. That department can't even stop Lao Yan, I don't care so much, let's hide their operation first. As for how many of them died, it's none of my business. Qiao Hai said viciously.
"Since you have said so, then I, as a brother, can only try my best to help you, anyway, the brothers have not seen each other for a long time, so let's go hiking once. I know a place that is quite nice. You go home and tell your brother and sister, and I'll call Brother Yun. Cheng Mo said with a smile.
"That's great, that's it." After saying that, Qiao Hai went downstairs and ran home.
Brother Yun, this guy is the second generation of officials. is two years older than Qiao Hai, and he who came out of the compound of the provincial party committee can really be said to be a red seedling. Brother Yun's real surname is Yun, but I'll change the name, let's call it Yun Zheng, (don't laugh if you know this name, I guess I can't see this.) )
There were a total of five people who entered the mountain together, in addition to Qiao Hai and them, there were also two brothers from the Qin family, who turned out to be in the circle of Brother Yun, the provincial capital, and their families were well-off. Well, this word is used to put it mildly, and it should be said that it is very powerful. The family owns several logistics companies, and there is also a coal mine in Shanxi. The boss Qin Feng does not have the bad habits of those rich children, and he is very low-key. This second Qin Song, a playboy.
I wanted to enjoy the scenery after entering the mountain, but no one expected that those things would happen. Of course, there is no Qinling Sacred Tree in this novel, and there is no big red fish in the underground pit. After all, the Qin brothers are courier brothers, not stuffy oil bottles, Qiao Hai is not the third uncle, and Cheng Mo is not Wang Fatzi.
Eight hundred miles of Qinling Mountains crisscross the world, and it is said that the Qinling Mountains have many mountains and rivers since ancient times, inheriting the Kunlun lineage, who knows what will be inside? A group of people packed their bags and drove all the way to the most remote mountain village in the mountains, with a very popular name, Zhang Village.
As for the simple folk customs, as well as the sour soup egg noodles with the characteristics of Guanzhong, we skipped it here, and after a night's rest, several people were in good spirits, and then asked the village chief to pay attention to the matters and began to officially enter the mountain. After crossing the Lei Gong Ridge, which marks the boundary of the village, it means that they are about to step into the real primeval deep forest.
The southern foot of the Qinling Mountains in August is the time when the scenery is beautiful, and the Qinling Mountains that obviously belong to the rough school show a trace of the Huangshan style. The scenery along the way is no longer tired, and you can experience it yourself when you have time.
Qiao Hai and the others were very satisfied with this hike at this time, and after the first two mountains, everyone sat around and discussed whether to continue to go deeper. Qin Feng looked at the backpack and said, "All the food, plus the fruits and mushrooms picked in the mountains, can last for about four days, and the satellite phone is working normally now." ”
Brother Yun nodded and said, "Actually, the village chief's expression at that time was a little abnormal, as if he was very worried that we would continue to go deeper. Cheng Mo is also aware of this, now we still have four days of provisions, can we go? Raise your hands to vote. The second child of the Qin family opened his mouth and said: "If Brother Yun goes, we will follow, needless to say that Brother Cheng Hai also has the same idea, if it's not good, we can come back directly?" ”
After everyone agreed directly, there was nothing to say, so they packed up the tents, put all the garbage in bags, and began to store fresh water for the road.
It's just that after walking to the third mountain for less than half a day, everyone began to feel that something was wrong. The main thing is that it's too quiet, and it's a bit quiet. The two mountains in front of it are beautiful and full of creatures. But it's quiet, there are no of the most common birds, but the plants are flourishing.
Although the scenery is excellent, there is a hint of weirdness everywhere. Now the one who opened the road has been arranged into two people, Qiao Hai and Brother Yun walked in the front, Qin Feng and Qin Song, who were tall and tall, carried all the supplies, and Cheng Mo pressed the formation.
Qiao Hai is used to using a ******, but Brother Yun still uses that custom-made trekking pole. Since there was no road, Qiao Hai cut a few knives on the tree from time to time as a marker. Brother Yun's trekking poles are also used like armies, and the snakes and insects that he found by chance are directly picked up.
The guard was changed every half hour, and it was like this for about three or four hours in the dense forest. Everyone was tired, and at this time, Brother Yun, who opened the road, suddenly said: "Brothers, come and take a look, why do I look at the grass in front of me and it seems to be a little different from other places?" ”
Hearing Brother Yun say this, Cheng Mo and Qiao Hai looked at it for a long time before they found that the grass in front of them was moving forward, and there were only a very small number of trees in the middle, and it was not big. And from their location, it can be roughly concluded that this place may have been a road before, and not a creek, a river, or something.
"Is there any danger in us going this way? After all, the road seems to have been abandoned for too long. Qin Feng asked after looking at the road after hesitating for a while.
Qin Song, the second eldest member of the Qin family, said with a big grin: "Brother, having a road is always a hundred times stronger than our stupid opening in the forest, where to open the road is not to walk." We'll save some effort by going here. Brother Yun, do you say? ”
Hearing his brother say this, Qin Feng also smiled and didn't say anything, his own brother's temperament as an elder brother naturally couldn't be clearer.
Cheng Mo and Brother Yun were exploring the road in front, although the road had been abandoned for a long time, it was much easier to walk. After walking for about two hours, Qiao Hai, who was in charge of observation, suddenly shouted: "Haha, there is a village in front of us, now we can have a good rest." ”
Hearing this, everyone who was already very tired poured out a lot of energy, and the speed also accelerated a lot. Just when the sun was about to set, Qiao Hai and the others came to the edge of the village. It's just that they were disappointed a lot by the sight in front of them, this is a deserted village. It looks like a relocation village, the whole village is deserted, but luckily the house looks quite intact.
Fortunately, Brother Yun and the others are all good at hiking in the wild, and it is already quite comfortable to have a place to live in this barren mountain and wilderness. It's just puzzling that I just found a random courtyard with a big persimmon tree next to it, which can be regarded as an obvious sign. When I went in, I found that the doors and windows were in good condition, and although the room was dilapidated, it was still complete, even the pots and pans, and the guys who farmed the land were there. The scene in front of me was as if the family had just gone out to visit relatives temporarily.
Although there have been cases of relocation of entire villages before, it is also a method adopted by the government for safety or to build some kind of large-scale facilities, and such villages are significantly different from the current situation. It's not clear what happened in the village, but there was already a feeling of incomprehension in this courtyard.
Qin Song, who was usually very arrogant, also felt that something was wrong now, and as for Qiao Hai, their faces were even more pale. Brother Yun sighed and said, "Brothers, there is something wrong with this village. Be careful, everyone. In this way, Qiao Hai and I went to the village to take a look, and Cheng Mo and the Qin family brothers stayed behind. Now I just hope this is the exception. ”
After about an hour, Cheng Mo and the Qin family brothers who were surrounding the fire were anxious. Brother Yun and Qiao Hailai came back, and their faces were extremely ugly when they sat by the fire.
Qin Song couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Hai, what did you and Brother Yun find?" After Qiao Hai was silent for a long time, he looked at the Qin family brothers and Cheng Mo again, swallowed and said with difficulty: "The whole village is empty, all the furniture in the yard is still there, and even I found this in the big wardrobes of several houses." After speaking, he took out a handful of black and blue shredded paper from his pocket.
What these pieces of paper are, everyone knows at a glance and knows in their hearts. This mountain village is geographically remote, and the arable land is even more pitiful, and the income must not be much, just this handful of shredded paper is about a few thousand yuan. Even if the people in the village relocate collectively or something, such a sum of money will never be forgotten.
Brother Yun added on the side: "I looked at the whole village, only the people were missing, and basically all the rooms were fully furnished. There was even grain left in the tank, and based on the degree of decay and mildew, no one had appeared here for about ten years.
In some of the bedrooms, there were still remnants of bedding on the beds, and the reins in the livestock houses had been torn off. Based on Qiao Hai's findings and me, it was as if everyone was gone in an instant. It made me feel uneasy. This village is not small, there are about a few hundred families. What is it that can make thousands of people in an entire village disappear en masse? There are no traces of floods or mudslides in this village. ”
After listening to Brother Yun and Qiao Hai's words, everyone felt incomprehensible, no matter what, they were all born in New China and grew up under the red flag, you said that everyone in this village was eaten by fierce beasts, or collectively infected with a disease or something, but it is a little unacceptable for people to disappear here for no reason.
Brother Yun looked at everyone's performance and said: "There are two ways in front of us now, one is for us to gamble, rest here for a night, and withdraw early tomorrow morning." The second is that even though it's already dark, we can venture back the way we came, and I don't think spending the night in the wilderness is a big deal for us. ”
