Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Lost Tiger

Baseline time and space finally sent someone to pick him up, and it was the party patriot who personally led the team, Liu Yanzhi was a little moved, and quickly stepped forward, wanting to shake hands with Professor Dang, but the other party took out a tablet, opened the photo album and pointed to a picture and said, "Did you shoot this tiger?" ”

On the tablet screen, there is a thin tiger with yellow and white fur lying in a cage, in a coma, and there is a carved arrow inserted in his body, Liu Yan was stunned, isn't this the tiger he forced to jump off the cliff half an hour ago, how did he run to the party's patriotic computer, could it be that the jump also traveled through time and space?

Seeing Liu Yanzhi's expression, the party patriotism understood, put away the computer and said, "The wormhole is really disordered." ”

This crossing is not only a party patriot, but also Lei Meng, who is on the task of escorting, wearing a mountaineering suit and sunglasses, holding an automatic rifle to guard the vicinity, completely dressed in the 21st century, it seems that this is just a simple rescue operation, and does not intend to stay in this era for a long time.

After staying for a year and a half at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Yanzhi was finally leaving, Liu Yanzhi was a little sad, he went into the wooden house to pack his luggage, all kinds of fur, bacon, millet, salt, books, as well as rifles and bows and arrows, all of which were reluctant to pull down.

"There's no hurry, we've set a return trip in twenty-four hours, and you have enough time to decide what to take and what to leave behind." Dang Aiguo said, "But I suggest that you better leave these miscellaneous things in this era, by the way, where did that tiger disappear?" ”

"I'll take you, an hour away." Liu Yanzhi said.

"Okay, I'll move my legs too." The party patriot took off the cashmere coat full of style, and what he wore inside was actually a bright red jacket, and it seemed that he had been prepared for a long time.

In Liu Yanzhi's impression, Dang Aiguo has always been a gentle and elegant cultural person, and he is very worried about whether the professor can keep up with his speed, but this worry is superfluous, Dang Aiguo's physical fitness is excellent, he does not breathe when he climbs over mountains and mountains, and his movements are as vigorous and sophisticated as a mountaineer.

"Don't look at me like that, I've climbed Mount Everest, from the north slope." In the leeward mountain nest, Professor Dang unscrewed the thermos cup and poured Liu Yanzhi a cup of hot chocolate, and the snow outside was fluttering, and it began to snow again.

Liu Yanzhi took a sip, revealing an intoxicated expression, high-calorie modern food can replenish energy more than the bacon he made himself, and more importantly, this cup of chocolate has the taste of hometown.

After a short break, the three of them continued on the road, and after rushing to the cliff, Dang Aiguo raised the mountaineering watch on his wrist and looked at it, it was an hour and a half before departure, and it seemed that his physical fitness was not a little worse than Liu Yanzhi.

"That's where the tiger jumped." Liu Yan pointed to the bottom of the cliff and said.

Lei Meng didn't say a word, took out the safety rope and tied it to the big tree, tied the other end to himself, and posed as if he wanted to go down the cliff to find out.

This is Liu Yanzhi's home field, how can he bother others to do it, he excused himself to dissuade him from being unfamiliar with the terrain, he didn't use a safety rope, climbed down the cliff with his bare hands, flexible like an ape, the snowy rock wall is very slippery, and if he is not careful, he will fall into the abyss, he carefully moved down, and after descending ten meters, he landed on a raised stone platform.

Behind the stone platform is a cave surrounded by thorns, and the mysterious cave on the cliff is the wormhole that the party patriotically said? Liu Yan raised his head and shouted, "Professor, I found the wormhole you said!" ”

From above, the party patriot replied with tears and laughter: "The wormhole is not a real cave, it is a scientific concept...... Wait, do you mean finding a cave? ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Dang Aiguo also came down, with a safety rope tied around his waist and a strong light flashlight, to explore the cave with Liu Yanzhi.

Liu Yan took the lead, holding a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and bowed his waist into the cave, this cave was not as big as he imagined, the space was cramped and he couldn't straighten his waist, and what was even more terrifying was that there was a coffin in the cave.

"What's in there?" The party patriot asked outside.

"Coffin." Liu Yanzhi reached out to lift the lid of the coffin, and his hand stopped in mid-air, in case a zombie with fangs and wearing a Qing Dynasty official uniform popped out of it, he didn't have a charm or anything in hand.

Dang Aiguo also climbed in and looked at the coffin: "I didn't expect that there are hanging coffins in Jiangdong, forget it, don't disturb the peace of the deceased, let's go." ”

The two of them went out of the cave one after another, and no one noticed the mural on the stone wall, which was three figures with a halo on their heads, and all the people below worshipped.

After some searching, there was nothing suspicious near the cliff, time was limited, Dang Aiguo ordered to evacuate, and the three of them trekked through mountains and rivers to return to the crossing point, and on the way Liu Yanzhi carefully inquired about the origin of the tiger.

According to the party's patriotism, after Lei Meng and the three of them went back, they immediately started the rescue operation, and never abandoned their comrades in ancient times, but it was difficult to grasp the time point of crossing again, and it was too early to find anyone, and it was too late, Liu Yanzhi Xing Xu had already married a wife and had children rooted in the Qing Dynasty, and when he was in a dilemma, a tiger suddenly appeared in Cuiwei Mountain in 2017.

Cuiwei Mountain was originally a nature reserve, it is not strange to have wild animals, but the appearance of this extinct South China tiger is outrageous, that day a few camping donkey friends first found the tiger, and also took a photo with a single-lens reflex camera, posted on the Internet, but did not cause a sensation, but was ridiculed by the majority of netizens as a new generation of "Zhenglong Tiger".

The tiger in the photo has an arrow inserted in its body, which is an important basis for netizens to think of fraud, who is idle to take a bow and arrow to hunt in the mountains, and can also shoot a tiger, this is not a test of the IQ of netizens, but this matter has attracted the attention of the party's patriotism, he organized a team of hunters, set traps all over the mountain, and finally captured the tiger, sure enough, the tiger has arrows on its body, and it is not a hunting arrow used by modern people, but a classical wooden pole carved arrow, according to research, the arrow is the green camp system of the Qing Dynasty, and the tiger is by no means a zoo, The artificially fed tiger that came out of the circus is a South China tiger that has actually survived in the wild for many years.

Based on this vague clue, the party patriotically judged that Liu Yanzhi was already waiting at the crossing point of Cuiwei Mountain, and resolutely crossed it in person and brought it back to his subordinates.

"There is a wormhole on Cuiwei Mountain, and there is more than one place, everywhere, fleeting, we have long understood this, but it is just an assumption, this tiger gave me a clear answer, I have a lot of information, there is no record of hunting tigers in the area of Cuiwei Mountain in history, so I guess that the arrow was shot by you." Dang Aiguo said, "You know what the concept of wormhole is now, right? ”

"I know, it's a space-time tunnel." Liu Yan said straightly, "But what I don't quite understand is why our crossing machine can only go back to the past, but not to the future." ”

Dang Aiguo said: "This ...... In fact, it could have been, we can travel through time, but we can only do it, just like handing over a car to the people of the Ming Dynasty, maybe they can learn to drive, but it is impossible to make a new one. ”

Liu Yan said straightly: "I understand a little bit, there are people from the future in the organization. ”

Dang Aiguo gasped and did not comment: "Maybe." ”

"There is another question, what are you going to do with Zhou Jiarui and let him stay in this era?" Liu Yan said straight.

"Teacher Zhou's problem, we don't have the energy to care about it for the time being, and it's not worth driving a special crossing machine for him alone." Dang Aiguo smiled bitterly, "But for you, it's worth it." ”

Liu Yan shrugged his shoulders, feeling that the party's patriotic words were exaggerated, and he asked casually: "Isn't it just a matter of electricity?" ”

Dang Aiguo stopped, and Zhengse said: "Yanzhi, the cost of our crossing is about 100 million yuan." ”

"How much?" Liu Yanzhi's eyes widened.

"That's the amortized cost of the power plant alone." Dang Aiguo explained, "Do you know the Manhattan Project in the United States? In order to build the atomic bomb, the Americans spent 2 billion dollars, that is the dollar in the forties of the last century, although we are not making nuclear weapons, but it is almost the same, maintaining the opening of the wormhole requires a man-made substance, the cost of this thing is the big one, the key is that money can't buy ......"

Along the way, the party's patriotism finally succeeded in making Liu Yanzhi understand two things, one is that the cost of crossing is extremely high, and the other is that his value in the eyes of the leaders is very high, and the benefits brought by these two highs are that Liu Yanzhi gave up most of the crossing subsidies and only took 300,000 yuan according to the original plan.

Back at the crossing point, Liu Yan made a fire to cook, and took advantage of the barbecue to take the Boston Evening News to show the party and the country.

After reading the party's patriotism, he put the newspaper aside.

"What? Something went wrong? Liu Yanzhi felt that something was wrong.

"You completed the task, but the Cunningham family is still passed on, maybe something went wrong, but it doesn't matter anymore, because Cunningham is not the focus, those on the list are the focus." Dang Aiguo turned the bonfire, took out a metal wine jug from his arms, and handed it to Liu Yanzhi: "Drink some?" ”

When Liu Yanzhi reached out to pick it up, Dang Aiguo saw the jade wrench he was wearing on his thumb, and couldn't help but hold his glasses and sit upright: "Can you show me the wrench?" ”

"Yes." Liu Yanzhi took off the wrench and put it in Dang Aiguo's hand, and said casually, "Cixi gave it to me, and I can use it when I shoot arrows." ”

"Can you sell it to me?" Dang Aiguo said, "I'll give you a reasonable price." ”

"If you like it, take it." Liu Yan said straight.

"This level of jadeite is peerless and rare, the value of the light itself is at least 100 million, plus the palace background, at least 50 million, 150 million things, do you really plan to give it to me?" Dang Aiguo said with a smile.

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." Liu Yanzhi has been in seclusion for a long time, and his heart has also undergone subtle changes, in his eyes, this jade wrench is not as practical as an iron pot, and he also believes that the party will not take his own things in vain.

When the time came for the return trip, Liu Yanzhi only brought a dozen fox skins, and the rest of the things were left in place, he looked back at the wooden house, and remembered many things, many people, Teacher Zhou who stayed in the Qing Dynasty, Xia Feixiong and Yan Shengnan who came and went in Beijing, Liang Dingbang, the ancestor of the Hong Kong Chief Executive, Shen Xiaohong, Lin Huaiyuan, the Empress Dowager Cixi, and his fiancΓ©e Lin Su, who had a skin-to-skin relationship with him.
