Chapter 8 Lishan Waterfall
I casually flipped through the printed information of Lop Nur, and wondered in my heart, should I go to Lop Nur, where nine strange events have happened? However, it is said that the equipment to go to the adventure is excellent, and they are all professionals, even if they are quite well prepared and the backup is relatively strong, but the group of people in it will still hallucinate, get lost in it, run out of ammunition and food, and live into a dried corpse.
The phone suddenly shook, and a text message came in, the number was a little familiar, and the content made me scratch my head: I'm waiting for you.
Suddenly, I had a strange feeling, and I looked carefully at the text message records, and the text messages I received on the way to the art exhibition that day were also from this number. I didn't care about it at the time, I thought it was just a mistake, but now I received it again, and the content is the same as inexplicable. "You're finally here", "I'm waiting for you".
If it was more than a month ago, I would definitely throw away my phone and forget about it in a few minutes, but in this month, I got that painting, heard the story of my grandfather, and got entangled with Xiao Xiao and the black suit...... It seemed that I couldn't decide anything, I was just driven by curiosity, step by step into a bureau that had been set up a long time ago.
The person who sent me these two text messages, if it wasn't sent by mistake (as far as I think, it really doesn't look like it), then it means that I was targeted from the beginning, and that person was neither the Xiao family, nor the group of black suits, and it seemed that he was an independent mysterious person.
"What's wrong?" Gu Fei came over and wanted to look at my mobile phone, but I was busy dodging it, and immediately put away the mobile phone, the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, but fortunately, he didn't mean to ask, but suddenly I vaguely felt that I would go further and further with Gu Fei.
"Clean up." I patted him, "We're almost ready to go." β
"Do you really want to go to Xi'an?"
I nodded. Seeing that his expression was a little ugly, I couldn't help but wonder, didn't he say that he hadn't been to Xi'an? What is there to be embarrassed about.
Seeing him sitting there frowning and thinking something, I leaned over and joked, "What? There are tigers in Xi'an? Can you still eat it? β
I know Gu Fei's courage, if it was just a trivial matter, he wouldn't be so embarrassed, but Xi'an, a place we haven't been to before, what is he afraid of?
"I'll have to tell my uncle." It took him a long time before he spoke, "You let Wu Laosi prepare first." β
I said that Wu Laosi had already asked him to prepare things, and the equipment he should have would not be left behind. I wanted to ask him why he went to Xi'an to ask his uncle, as if his uncle was his boss, and he had to get instructions for everything. Thinking about it, I couldn't help it, I almost forgot that Gu Fei's uncle was also one of the members of the competition for that painting, but he never officially came forward, although Gu Fei was very familiar, but it was better to be careful, after all, what kind of person his uncle was, I didn't know.
I didn't talk to him anymore, we all had our own things on our minds. It seems that after getting involved in the battle for that painting, I became a little different from myself, and I began to become suspicious, cautious, and I didn't know if it was a good or bad change. For the time being, I think of it as a kind of growth, the human heart is sinister, and the innocent people survive, and those plots where heroes come forward and resolve crises when they encounter a critical juncture, will only appear in movies, and this is reality, and it is a "battlefield" that can only rely on itself.
Three days later, we set off, a total of four people: me, Gu Fei, Wu Laosi, and Abang. Ah Bang is also in his thirties, wearing a camel-colored autumn coat and not liking to talk. It is said that he used to be a mixed bag, and his style of acting is similar to Wu Laosi, but it is rare to be more cautious in doing things, not impulsive, and he will use his brain in everything.
When I asked Wu Laosi to prepare things in advance, I raised a few maps of Lishan by the way, we are not here for sightseeing this time, so if we can not have anything to do with the locals, we will try not to disturb the local tourists and residents, so as not to arouse suspicion at that time.
Along the way, we all pretended to be tourists, surveying the terrain, and I mainly wanted to see what could be called Jiutian Sujin in Lishan.
"I heard that this is where 'Mythology' was filmed." In the next second, Gu Fei's face suddenly changed, and he asked me, "You don't want us all to learn to be a dragon and fly over this waterfall, right?" β
I teased him: "If you want to fly, I won't stop you, but there will definitely not be any Princess Yushu in it, and there may be a few lonely ghosts." β
After speaking, he stopped looking at a few of them, and began to think of the hints on the bamboo slips. It just so happens that the weather is beautiful, and the sunlight shines through the water splashed down from the waterfall, giving off strange colors and making it a beautiful sight. I stared at the waterfall and lost my mind, and suddenly it dawned on me.
"That's right! It's a waterfall! "I patted my head, and finally reacted, sometimes like a rainbow, sometimes and misty, because of the change of light and temperature, Jiutian Sujin refers to the form of a waterfall, there are mountains and water, magnificent, it is the waterfall of Lishan!
"If there was really a mystery behind this waterfall, it would have been discovered by the film crew of the year, and how many of us would it be our turn?" This time it was Wu Laosi who spoke, as if he was laughing at us for being too "naΓ―ve", and the entrance would not be here at all.
I also sneered back at him: "I didn't say it's the cave behind the waterfall, you guys are all preconceived and ignore a problem, the place we are looking for is a waterhole, and it will not be hidden in the mountain behind the waterfall at all." β
Wu Laosi took a puff of his cigarette, which attracted the attention of several tourists, he looked back and glared, and then said to me: "Then you say, where is it?" I don't have your brains to use, so don't fucking detour Lao Tzu if it's okay. β
I looked at Abang, and he didn't say a word, just looked at me, and seemed to be waiting for me to announce the answer.
I looked around at the endless stream of tourists, and now the action was too eye-catching, so I waited until it was dark and sneaked in. When I said those words to Wu Laosi just now, I was also hard-mouthed, but in fact, I didn't have any bottom in my heart.
Since it is impossible to be the entrance behind the waterfall, and the bamboo slip says that the waterfall is the sign of the entrance, then it can only be found at the foot of the mountain where the waterfall is located.
It was getting dark, we hid nearby, didn't leave the scenic spot, and once we left, we had to find a way to avoid the inspectors, which would be a trouble.
"Let's go."
We all changed into special costumes and were going to rush to the bottom of the waterfall, firstly in the water, and secondly, the impact of the waterfall should not be underestimated, and even though it was night, we had to be careful if anyone noticed our actions.
Wu Laosi went down first, and it didn't take long to hear him scolding there, but fortunately, it was covered by the sound of the waterfall, and it wouldn't spread too far, and then it was me, Gu Fei, and finally Abang. We were diving underwater, and if I wanted to go straight through the waterfall, I didn't have that confidence in my small body.
I asked Wu Laosi to go first, mainly because I still believe in his experience, after a long time, even if a person with little culture, with experience, he can immediately find a relatively safe place in danger.
Wu Laosi took the lead in crossing the waterfall from under the water, and arrived at a safe area behind the waterfall, there was a protruding rock blocking it above, so the waterfall did not rush down directly, Abang was the last to come up, he was in good health, and most of the backpacks were carried by him. Of course, I was worried that I would get wet with water, so some things failed in advance, and I specially put on a tarpaulin.
Gu Fei and I took the lead in starting to grope there, the entrance will definitely not be a ready-made cave, but it will not be too far away from this safe area or too hidden, the person who ordered the construction of that place will definitely consider the problem of entering it by himself in the future, so it should only be a matter of time to find it.
I watched Wu Laosi take out a pack of cigarettes and shook them a few times, it was all water, I couldn't help but feel funny, I still had the heart to smoke at this time, and it was better to come over and find the entrance together.
