Chapter VII Maps

I opened the backpack and poured out all the contents in one go, a powerful flashlight, a climbing rope, a dagger, a lock, a roller skating shaft, three grappling hooks, a lighter, compressed biscuits, water, a compass, batteries, a simple medical kit, and even a mountain axe and a gas mask.

Except for the food and the dagger I always used, the rest of these things were imported from Germany, and they had never even been opened. It seems that there is no drama on my side.

The things that came out of my brother's backpack were similar to mine, but there were a few more things than mine: toner, mirror, wipes, toilet paper, sunglasses, bank cards, and even a box of imported beef jerky with red dates.

"What the are you doing here?" I glared at my junior brother fiercely, if it weren't for the fact that there were outsiders, I would definitely have to cure his stinky problem, and pick up the tricks and branches, I don't know that I really thought he was going to take the job.

The junior brother sighed, and said with a hippie smile: "Oh, senior brother, don't be angry, I call it prepared." Take it...... Let's talk about this toilet paper, it's very useful, senior brother, you think, ten days, we have to go to the tuba, when the time comes, you pull it here, touch your pocket, damn, there is no paper, then you can only wait for it to dry......" said, the senior brother shrugged at me.

I was a little embarrassed for a while, to be honest, I never paid attention to these trivial things when I usually went out on a mission, but there was always a time to use it, and now that I think about it, it was my junior brother who was paying attention to tidying up. I swept the toilet paper and wipes on the floor, thanks to him, but when I looked down, I couldn't read: "So this...... Mirrors and toners, also for large sizes? ”

"Hehe, senior brother, you are really good at laughing." The junior brother took the toner in my hand, sprayed it upward, and inhaled it with his nose: "This is called - life taste, people like senior brother, who live like a bad old man all day long, will not understand." ”

As soon as I heard it, I was angry, and I didn't care about the cold bench, so I grabbed the bank card on the ground and slammed it against my junior brother's head: "Who do you say 'like', I am a big man who stands up to the sky!" ”

The junior brother immediately covered his head and screamed, I knew that I didn't use much force at all, and just wanted to do it again, the cold bench suddenly grabbed my wrist at this time, and the force was so great that I couldn't break it off.

I was a little stunned for a while, I looked at him and then at my junior brother, I didn't know that he still had such a friendship with his junior brother, so quickly he was short? The junior brother was obviously stunned, and his face was a little complicated for a while, but he quickly returned to normal, cleared his throat and said to the cold bench: "That...... Little master, there may be some situations that you don't know much about, but I already have a girlfriend, and for the time being, I have no plans to have a boyfriend...... Do you understand a little bit when I say this? Of course, I personally appreciate itβ€”"

Before the junior brother finished speaking, the cold bench took away the bank card in my hand, as if he was not listening to us at all, but made me have a big red face with the junior brother. The cold bench looked at it for a while, and seemed to be sure that it was indeed a fake bank card, so he asked, "What is this for?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, but then I thought of a person like a cold bench, there must be a reason for doing things, and after a little thought, it is not difficult to understand what he meant, the messy things brought by the junior brother are still somewhat useful, but this bank card seems to be useless here, and it takes a lot of effort to even swatt a fly.

The junior brother looked at us like an idiot: "Of course the bank card is used to withdraw money, why don't you come to wipe your butt?" ”

I gave him a blank look: "The little master is asking, what are you using your bank card here for?" ”

The junior brother sighed and said disapprovingly: "When I was leaving, the master asked me to bring it, and said it was in preparation...... Rainy day. As he spoke, the junior brother's voice slowed down and he glared at us. Almost at the same time, I understood what he meant, and my heart trembled: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" ”

The junior brother was also embarrassed, scratched the back of his head, but said sharply: "No, you didn't ask...... Besides, the money is not leaked, where can I shout loudly, the young master is a fucking thief with money? ”

I glared at him, too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore, the cold bench had already been studied, this was indeed an ordinary bank card, a thin layer, almost ruled out the possibility of a mezzanine. The surface is printed with the green paint of a large bank, and behind it is a black magnetic stripe. This is still the same old-fashioned magnetic stripe card, and the security performance is far inferior to today's chip cards.

Then, the cold bench tried several methods of reading the secret, such as water, fire, gold, wax, rubbing, and refraction...... These are also commonly used by us, but tossing and turning, but no effect has been seen, and the green paint has fallen a lot. The junior brother was so anxious that he scratched his head: "Damn, could it be that we are going in the wrong direction, this is an ordinary bank card at all?" ”

I thought about it, it's possible, otherwise it doesn't make sense that the three of us decryption masters tossed around this broken card for almost three or four hours, and there was no effect at all. But I can't explain why Master would let us come out with a bank card in this deep mountain and old forest. I shook my head: "Master's words always make sense, there must be something we have neglected, think about it again." ”

This time, I and my junior brother started from crossing the water, and went round one by one, until the green paint on the card had all fallen off, and the sky gradually began to darken, and there was still nothing. At this time, my psychology is quite tired, but let me give up like this, I am unwilling, I always feel that we are only a little bit away from success, it must be something we have overlooked, something inconspicuous but crucial, in the end...... What is it?

The younger brother's temper was already anxious, and as soon as it was dark, there were many mosquitoes in the field, and the junior brother couldn't stand it even more, so he sprayed himself from head to toe with toner, which was not enough, and sprayed a few times on the air around him, making me and the cold bench all over my face.

I was also annoyed, so I scared him and said, "Don't spray so much, this smell is so rushing, maybe some beast will be summoned after a while." ”

The ghosts and monkeys left a very deep impression on us, and the junior brother obviously shuddered, but said fiercely: "That's right, look at the little master's small body, if you are fucking unlucky, what kind of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods will not be enough for people to stuff their teeth!" As he spoke, he was about to press the toner to the bottom of his backpack, but was picked up by the cold bench.

My junior brother and I were both stunned, and we all looked at him, and my junior brother smiled: "Oh, I can't see it, little master, a fellow practitioner?" ”

The cold bench didn't speak, and suddenly sprayed up the bank card, the junior brother frowned, probably distressed, and just wanted to grab it, he saw that the card was like a split bamboo pole, split in half from the middle, and half of the map was engraved on one side.

"I'm ...... What is this Cow B technology? The junior brother looked straight, and he was stunned for a long time before he sighed.

The cold bench explained while cleaning the toner poured into the grooves of the map: "Just like Qianyi said, your master must have his reason for doing things, and he handed over such an important map to you, not your senior brother for safekeeping, which means that the key to decryption is also on you." I just gave it a try. With that, he got up and said, "Let's go." ”

My junior brother and I came to our senses and hurriedly picked up our backpacks and followed. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong...... Although the cold bench saved my two lives, I shouldn't think like this, but it feels very bad to be led by the nose by others, besides, we really don't know him very well, and we don't even know who his surname is and where he is taught. I thought about it again and again, but I still opened my mouth and said, "That little master, why don't you map half of us?" If we are unlucky, and we meet the third master again, we will not be wiped out, right? ”

But the cold bench didn't even pay attention to me, seeing that I was tightly entangled, he just said lukewarmly: "You don't understand." ”

Hey, you're fucking underestimating me, I thought about it and said, "At the very least, tell us where to go first." The junior brother also said: "That's it, little master, you see it's getting dark this day, why don't we find a place to rest for the night first, and then set off when it dawns tomorrow?" ”

"No, you don't." The cold bench didn't look back, and said lightly: "That place is dark all the time." ”

My junior brother and I were stunned for a moment, in this kind of wilderness, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the people under our feet are all elderly ancestors, and his words are a little mad when he listens. I couldn't help but think of the axe and gas mask in the equipment, could it be that we will use the axe to fight the aliens from the dark planet later?

The junior brother is anxious, and he can't stand others playing dumb riddles with him, and if I don't want to come back, the junior brother has his own way. The younger brother spun around behind the cold bench and winked at me, knowing that I had arrived. My junior and I pretended to be relieved, whistling and distancing ourselves from the cold bench.

As soon as the light of the flashlight shone, I was dumbfounded, is this a fucking ghost drawing? Densely twisted and twisted, sometimes stars and sometimes circles, not even a decent text. It seems that the cold bench is right, I really can't fucking understand it.

At this time, the junior brother suddenly sighed. I said, "What's the matter, did you see a straight turn and turn right?" ”

"No, senior brother." The junior brother pointed to a rectangular square on the picture, "Look at this, isn't it a little familiar?" As he spoke, he swiped his finger against the square.

It was a shallowly notched, twisted line, right in the middle of the square, and he pointed at me before I noticed. The combination of lines is a bit like a stick figure of a human shape, the style of painting is still abstract, and the strangest thing is that the lines on the man's ass are very long, fortunately on the back.

The junior brother didn't know that I was thinking crookedly, so he gestured there: "Look at this line, it has grown so much, and the direction is not right...... This must not be a normal person. ”

I'm a little ashamed, I don't know if my junior brother really doesn't understand, or if he's pretending to be confused and joking with me, but this kind of thing must be explained clearly, otherwise if he really can't think about it, he will leave a psychological shadow or something, and it won't be me who will be dragged down in the end. I shook my flashlight and reminded, "Look closely, it's drawn in the back, not in the front." ”

The junior brother was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Damn...... I said, "Why do you look so familiar?" I was about to say, "You fucking grow in the back," but my junior brother suddenly shouted, "Ah! I remembered, senior brother, look, this doesn't look like the ghost monkey in the water curtain cave! ”

What impressed me most about the ghost monkey was its teeth, so I automatically ignored its most basic feature as a monkey – its tail. From this point of view, it is not an accident that we met the monkey in the crescent moon cave, since it is engraved on the map, it means that we are likely to meet again on the next road.

This discovery made me a little uneasy, what kind of place are we going to this time? Why is there such a ghost monkey that has become a spirit? If we hadn't broken into the crescent moon cave by mistake and learned how to deal with the ghost monkeys, how would we deal with it in the future? I'm afraid it's more than lucky.

I made up my mind, and said in my heart that since I had come to this point, I could only come and cover the water with soldiers, and the big deal would be death. As the saying goes, born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in the north, and being able to die here can be regarded as the death that the ancients wanted.

I estimated that the time was almost up, and if I dragged it any longer, I would be discovered by the cold bench, so I asked my junior brother to return the map. The "yet" here, of course, will not be patting the cold bench on the shoulder: "Hey, little master, what you said is really right, we really can't understand the map, so you should keep it." "I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will be picked up and beaten on the cold bench, and the "return" we say is how to take it and how to return it.

I don't know if it's my delusion, but when my junior brother returned the map, I actually saw Leng Bench's lips move, as if he was laughing.

It's so weird that I'd rather believe that he has a history of epilepsy than that we were found stealing maps, and I'm absolutely assured of my brother's craftsmanship. But then again, what exactly is the craft of a cold bench? Find a chance to let him show off.

Three flashlights scurried around the forest like three ghost fires, we don't know how long we walked, how many dirt bags we climbed, and the deeper we walked into the mountains in the northeast, the weaker the sound of insects in our ears, and there was a smell of dead silence everywhere.

"Here we are." The cold bench stopped suddenly.

The light of the flashlight hit me, and I shuddered, what the fuck is this?
