Deep in the mountains
In a deep mountain and old forest in X City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The forest is deep and dense, and it is not suitable for human survival. Especially on some hills, there is not even a road.
The so-called world has no road, the more people walk, it becomes the road This sentence is very reasonable, the deserted place, the plants are far away from human interference, the natural habitat of birds and beasts, all living beings are growing as they like, unrestrained, free.
As a young policeman newly assigned to the police station, Ning Tao felt that all his life ideals were going to be buried in this mountain, which was higher than a mountain.
Mountains are connected to mountains, and no matter how close the straight-line distance between villages is, when you want to go over, you will deeply understand what it means to look at the mountains and run dead horses. His jurisdiction manages a town with a population of about 10,000, and there are only 26 villages under the jurisdiction of this town, but even if these 26 villages want to make the police at the police station run all over without landing, even the most familiar old policemen need to spend four or five days.
Without it, there would be no roads in the mountains, and there are seven villages in this town, deep in the mountains where transportation is extremely backward. With a population of less than 1,000, there are always some plots of relocation, and even if the staff in the town wear out their mouths, they are unwilling to move out of the mountains and enjoy modern civilization.
In fact, Ning Tao understands them very well, the young generation in the mountains has already left at an age when they can go out to work their own, and those who stay behind are either young dolls or old people, and there is no shadow of young people in the whole village, so that these old people who have long been accustomed to a peaceful life in the mountains move out, and the noisy world outside is so incompatible with them.
Although he understood, when Ning Tao really used his feet to measure how high the mountains in the jurisdiction were, he still couldn't help complaining, even during the police academy, they needed to meet the physical training standards every day, but compared with the course that could make him half tired to death at that time, it was like a child's house.
What is it like to be numb in your heels to the point of losing consciousness, what is it like to be like a mosquito that is crazy in the deep mountains to kiss you very passionately, I don't know what slippery things under my feet can't hold my body and I am about to fall down next to it, what is it like to be on a cliff next to it, because the road is slow, the trip is delayed, and I have to sleep on the branches on the mountain at night, and I can vaguely hear the wolf howl around, Ning Tao has experienced it all this time, this sourness, it is impossible to describe in words. This is simply a joke with rope life, and the most incredible thing for him is that the longest old policeman in their police station has been working for 12 years. In the past 12 years, I have never complained about being tired and worked hard once a year.
As a post-90s generation, Ning Tao initially felt that he should not be able to hold on for a week when assigned to a place where birds don't, but now, his internship career is coming to an end, and he actually wants to stay.
Someone has to do any work, he didn't understand before, why his parents would look down on their generation and be prejudiced against them, and he also couldn't understand why his parents would insist on living a poor life when they could have lived well, isn't the main purpose of life to enjoy life? They don't even know what life is, so how can they enjoy it? Life is short, and when you have to be happy, you should go to the best of your heart, so that you can be worthy of your hard work to come to this world.
But the days here made him understand that being a man still has to be a little bloody and pursuit. This kind of pursuit is not material enjoyment, but the satisfaction of the spiritual world, to put it bluntly, it is to have some ideals, to be able to use their own strength to make this world a little different from now on. Ning Tao felt that he had found it. Doing every little thing well, solving the big and small affairs of the masses, making him feel needed, and fulfilling every day is far more meaningful than his previous life of drunken dreams and death.
Eh~~ Of course, in addition to lying on the fork of the tree in the middle of the night to feed the mosquitoes, there are wolves looking for food in the distance.
They have fallen to the point where they are now, and they are completely to blame Ning Tao himself. Because he had never walked the mountain road, he miscalculated his physical fitness, and the result was very humiliating, and he had a leg cramp halfway through, if it weren't for an old colleague who quickly pushed him from behind, he would have rolled down the mountain by now, and he didn't know which branch to hang on as a kite, and he didn't even have the opportunity to be used as food by mosquitoes. The rest of the trip was naturally delayed, but fortunately, the old colleagues were experienced, and they could still have a safe place to live.
Thinking that the two of them worked so hard, just to go to the farthest family in the jurisdiction and help their colleagues in City B find a fugitive, Ning Tao couldn't help but rush up.
Why? Are the policemen in your city more expensive than them? In the above sentence, when it comes to moving their mouths, the little soldiers under them deserve to break their legs? In the mountains where birds don't, any fugitive running in is more uncomfortable than being in prison, in fact, if you can really live incognito here, why not let it go? Anyway, letting a person who is accustomed to the convenient life of modern society live here is much more hateful than a shot crash. Just imagine that there is no electricity, no Internet, and no mobile phone signal, living in prehistoric times like a primitive society for decades, Ning Tao feels that he would rather turn himself in and die.
"Brother Liu, what's going on with that case? Tell me about it. Anyway, feeding the mosquitoes and still sitting on the branches, Ning Tao doesn't have such a good psychological quality, he has completely insomnia, and he simply no longer reluctantly closes his eyes and pretends to sleep, chatting with his old colleagues on another tree, he is now extremely glad that he is in the northwest region, and now it is very cold, and he will not encounter poisonous snakes, which are almost certain to die if they are bitten in the wild.
"You kid, are you lazy again? I have to talk to Zhang Suo about it when I go back, and assign you a job of sorting out the files, so that you can take a good look. Brother Liu laughed and joked at Ning Tao, when this young handsome guy came, no one thought that he could persist until now, there are not many young people like this, God knows that they have distributed a lot of people back and forth, many of them have either resigned or found someone to leave within a few days, Ning Tao was the first to persist in many years, and this young man is very worthy of their admiration. Today's young people are impetuous, how can there be anyone who can stick to poverty and be willing to contribute. But they are very strange how he was admitted to college when he doesn't like to read too many things.
"Hehe, Brother Liu, don't tell Zhang, let me sort out the files, I turned around and ran away, you old guys, don't think about me."
"Look at your little bit of interest. Just looking at Braille can make you resist like this. ”
"Alas, my own brother, I have been in school for so many years, and in addition to doing questions in three years of high school, I am doing questions, who is not dizzy? I haven't just graduated and haven't come to my senses, wait a few years, and I'll be fine in a few years. ”
"Pull it down, I don't believe you. Come and let me tell you, the guy we're going to find is a ruthless character, and he's been staring at him all the time, and this area is the last mountain to be found, so don't take it lightly, the chances of that guy being here are not low. You see, when I came out, Zhang Suo specially matched me with a guy. Brother Liu patted the five-fourth style that had been pinned to his waist, forgetting that in this deep mountain and old forest, there are trees around to cover the sky and the sun, even during the day, the line of sight is like that, and at night he can't see his five fingers, Ning Tao can see it. But this does not disturb Brother Liu's good interest.
I have been a police officer for more than ten years, not to mention coming out with a gun, but I rarely have the opportunity to get started with ordinary maintenance, which shows the danger of the task they carried out this time.
But the person they are looking for, in fact, it is not much dangerous, many places in the file have been blacked out, Brother Liu understands that this involves secrecy, just look at the part that can be seen, what this person does is not extremely vicious, the unlucky woman who was caught by him has lived for a year unharmed, although Brother Liu knows very well that such a shaved head is a kind of disease, and it has to be treated, but for a year, there is no violent coercion, injury, just simply lock her up, It is enough to show that he still has a little love for that woman in his heart, how bad can a person with love in his heart be?
But in the end, they are wanted murderers and kidnappers, they are police, and they have the obligation to arrest them. Brother Liu briefly told Ning Tao what he knew, closed his eyes with a tired body, and finally stayed up until dawn, and the two continued to hurry.
After climbing two more high mountains, from the morning sun to the sunset, they finally arrived at their destination, Gangxia Village. This isolated mountain village had only 20 households and less than 70 people at the time of the last census, and in recent years it has become more and more desolate as the old people have died and the young people have never returned.
No matter where the old people in Gangxia Village lived before, they are now basically concentrated in a few houses in the center of the village that are still in good condition, so as to take care of each other, only the old man Gu still stubbornly lives on the mountain two kilometers away from the village, and it takes him half a day to carry half a bucket of water back and forth every day.
But what others say doesn't work, Old Man Gu is an old bachelor who has never been married in his life, he is so stubborn that even a donkey can be angry, ordinary people really can't say that he can't move, these old people in the village are even more lazy to bother, a village grew up together since childhood, who doesn't know who has any virtues, it is better to take advantage of the warm weather to bask in the sun.
There are too few people in the village, if a stranger appears, these old people who are so idle that they can only rely on chatting to pass the time every day will definitely be able to find out for the first time, so after asking a few people in a row and getting a negative answer, Ning Tao was a little disappointed, after walking such a long way, they had nothing to gain, and they suffered all the way in vain.
Ning Tao, who was about to accept the fact that he had returned in vain, overheard the conversation between the two old men behind him, and felt that something was wrong, and wanted to persuade Brother Liu to stay for a while, and ask more, maybe things would take a turn for the better. After all, a murderer who can run for a year is not stupid enough to settle in a people's village, and if he is really here, he must be safe to escape from a nearby forest with a food source, and they will have a better chance of finding someone in the neighborhood.
It was Brother Liu who dragged him all the way to prevent him from talking nonsense, if Ning Tao didn't believe that Brother Liu was an experienced old policeman, and kept the doubts in his heart down, he couldn't help but stand up to him on the spot.
Finally turned to the forest where he couldn't see the village, and Brother Liu pulled Ning Tao to stop: "There is a smell in the village, do you smell it?" ”
Flavor? Ning Tao was slightly stunned, he really didn't pay attention, but it was a primitive and backward village, and it was inhabited by slow-moving old people, and he still raised this poultry, it seemed normal to have a smell, could it be that there was a problem with the smell?
"You kid, didn't you read a few pages of a book when you were in school? Graduated from the criminal investigation major, have you never seen a dead person, and you haven't even smelled the smell of corpses? ”
"Corpse stench? Dead person? Are you sure? Could it be the smell of rotting poultry carcasses? ”
"No, this taste is not the death of chickens and ducks, and if the pigs in this village die, it is definitely impossible to throw them away, they are not as particular as outsiders, there is still an inspection of sick and dead pork, life in the village is hard, and dead pigs are reluctant to throw away, anyway, they have never had problems eating from snacks to adulthood. So this smell must have dead people. ”
Brother Liu lit a cigarette, these days have been running around in the woods, in the early autumn, the mountain is cold early, many trees and grass have slowly become dry, he lit a cigarette, a little spark is afraid that it will cause a mountain fire, but it can suffocate him, fortunately this is close to the village, the nearby has been stepped out of the village by the people in the village, as long as they are not too far away, it is okay to smoke a cigarette, not to mention that the smell that has been lingering under the nose is really unpleasant, or put some smoke to smoke.
"It's a north wind blowing today, and the north of the village happens to be where Old Man Gu lives. Let's take a look around in a moment. Brother Liu took a few puffs of cigarette and snuffed it out.
"Just now I heard the old people in the village chatting, and they said that it seems that Old Man Gu has been more agile in his actions these days than before, and his right foot, which was originally a little lame, is now better. Just now you said that there was a corpse smell, could it be that Old Man Gu died, that person, wearing his clothes and pretending that he lived here? After all, no matter how broken this village is, it is much better than in the deep mountains and old forests, seeing that the sky is about to be cold, and then sleeping in the mountains, he must not freeze to death. ”
"It's hard to say, don't forget, he didn't just run in, he's been hiding here for a long time, and he doesn't look like someone who will show his face carelessly. Let's take a look first. (To be continued.) )
