Chapter Thirty-Six: Searching for People in the Mountains (Part II)
After eating some dry food and drinking some water, the four of them continued on their way.
After walking for more than an hour, they finally came to the end of the path.
It's a small village, with about six or seven families, but according to Wang, when all the people here are gone, there is only an old lady in it, and his teenage grandson.
Hearing this, Li Yang inexplicably felt a kind of sadness, who doesn't want to get out of this mountain who lives in the mountains, but when everyone is done, there are always one or two people who are willing to stay in this land forever, even if it is poor, this is the homeland is difficult to leave.
Wang Dali walked over and didn't find the old man, but he saw a child herding cattle, so he stepped forward to ask.
The answer was disappointing, the child said that he had been herding cattle here, and that no one had gone there recently.
Wang Dali did not doubt this, because after leaving this village, there was no road behind, and if they really got here, there was nowhere else to go.
That means there's only one possibility, and they haven't gotten out of the mountain yet.
"Uncle Mighty, what now?" Li Yang looked at Wang Dali and asked.
"Go into the mountain, you follow me, try to come back before dark", Wang Dali looked at the time, two o'clock in the afternoon, there were still four hours left before dark, and he wanted to go down the mountain, unless they could find those people within two hours.
At this moment, a message came from the communicator that the doctor had found it, but only two people had been found, and these two people were still guessed by two guides, and there were five people left, scattered into two teams, and told them the direction and let them continue the search.
Wang Dali nodded and said: "Our direction is right, all the way to the south, if they go in this direction, I guess it should be in Longwanggou."
"Dragon King Ditch?" The two policemen asked.
"Longwang Ditch is the junction of Phoenix Mountain and Zhenlong Mountain, there is a very deep ravine, if they come out of it, with their foot strength, it should be around there", Wang Dali said with great certainty.
"How far are we from the Dragon King Ditch here?" This is Li Yang's asked with concern.
Wang Dali glanced at the two policemen and said, "At least ten hours away, we can't rest at night, it's better to find them."
Everyone knew that they couldn't afford to delay, so they immediately went on the road, Wang Dali directly chose a direction, walked to the front, and waved the mountain knife in his hand left and right, opening up a way out.
Li Yang carried his mountaineering bag and walked at the back, and two policemen walked in the middle.
On the way, the two policemen rarely communicated with Li Yang and them, and Li Yang didn't bother to talk to them.
The road up the mountain can be said to be very difficult, but Li Yang felt that it was okay, and it seemed that he was not as tired as he imagined, but the two policemen were soaked.
In order to take care of the two of them, Uncle Dali would rest for more than ten minutes when he walked for an hour, and try to find an open place.
"Now that I have entered the mountain, I must check my surroundings before resting, and be careful of poisonous snakes or other poisonous things on the ground", seeing the two policemen sitting on the ground, Uncle Dali reminded.
As soon as they heard the poisonous snake, the two policemen stood up at a moment's notice, and the speed was like a rocket launch.
Li Yang held back a smile and found an empty place to sit down, carrying his backpack at any time.
The bead is in the bag, you can lose anything, but you can't lose the bead.
Li Yang has been thinking about how to carry the beads on his body at any time, which is not very convenient, but the beads are not small, and if they are worn on the body, it seems that they are not suitable.
After walking like this for two hours, Li Yang went to the front to replace Wang Dali and continued to walk forward.
However, compared with Wang Dali, although Li Yang's physical strength is good, his skills are much worse, but fortunately, he can last for two hours.
It was Wang Dali's turn to open the road again, and at this time it was already dark, and in the mountains and forests, it was almost impossible to see.
Wang Dali turned on the headlamp, and Li Yang did the same, and the surroundings suddenly became much brighter, giving people a sense of security.
After walking for another hour, Wang Dali let everyone rest.
"Everyone be vigilant at night, you eat first, I'll go find some wild fruits", Wang Dali looked at it and left.
The two policemen glanced at Li Yang, and seemed to feel a little unreliable in their hearts.
Li Yang ignored them, hugged his backpack and ate by himself.
"Ah, what's that?" Suddenly, a policeman shouted, pointing to a black shadow in the jungle.
Li Yang stood up and looked over.
"Hedgehog, it won't hurt people", Li Yang saw the thing clearly, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down again.
"What is a hedgehog?" Perhaps he felt a little embarrassed to make a fuss, the policeman asked.
"It's a hedgehog", Li Yang was speechless.
"Oh".
Of these two policemen, one is about the same age as Li Yang, and the other is only 24 years old, which is younger than Li Yang.
Perhaps too tired, the two policemen quickly fell asleep.
Li Yang didn't wake them up, and stood up on alert.
After a while, Uncle Mighty came back with some wild fruits in his hands.
Although it is dangerous in the mountains, there are many good things.
All kinds of wild fruits, I haven't seen them outside.
But some are edible, and some are not.
The two ate some before waking up the two policemen.
Looking at the things that Wang Dali handed over, the two of them looked surprised, "What is this?" ”
"Thorn fruit, refreshing," Wang Dali said.
The appearance of the thorn fruit is dark yellow, which is a sign of maturity, but the outside is covered with a layer of hard thorns, this thorn, people who are afraid think it is very hard, but as long as you are afraid, it is still not hard.
Seeing that the two policemen couldn't speak, Wang Dali took it, directly reached out to erase the layer of hard thorns outside, and then handed it over.
A policeman tried to take a bite, and immediately the entire facial features were tightly wrinkled together.
Li Yang next to this scene, who eats thorn fruit for the first time, must definitely be blindfolded, because it is so sour, so sour that you can't extricate yourself, it is so sour that it makes you drool next time you think about it.
Now the police understand, refresh their minds, and really don't feel sleepy at all.
A group of four people continued on the road and walked in the direction of Longwanggou.
Rushing overnight, everyone was very tired, even Li Yang, but in order to be able to find those people early, they couldn't rest.
At one o'clock in the morning, Li Yang and his party finally arrived at Longwanggou.
Looking down from the halfway point of the mountain, Longwanggou is like a moat, splitting the front and back mountains in half.
In front of Li Yang and them, there is a suspension bridge, this is a shortcut to enter Zhenlong Mountain, although it is very dangerous and difficult to walk, if you don't go this way, you can pass from the foot of the mountain, but the delay is at least five hours, Li Yang They can't afford to delay.
The police tuned the intercom to the other party's channel in an attempt to reach them, but failed.
No way, cross the bridge first.
Li Yang took the lead, and Wang Dali broke back.
Perhaps because he felt that he had behaved a little useless all the way, this time the two policemen behaved bravely, took the lead and walked in front.
