Chapter 35: The Mountain Man
86_86324 The rain washed away the soil and caused a landslide.
Uncle Wang scolded again, and then drove the car closer. Stepping out of the car, I could see the landslide site up close.
"On the landslide ahead, vehicles drive carefully", there is a sign on the side of the road that stands very appropriately.
Red and black dirt was piled up on the road with large and small stones, and there was a thick tree trunk in the dirt. Looking at this amount, the pickup truck will definitely not be able to drive. Moreover, it would take at least two or three days for the four of us to clean up such a large number of mud and rock piles.
"What should I do?" I asked Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang looked at the mud and stone pile in front of him, looked at the road in front of him, and said, "I can't get through, I can only walk." ”
"Go to the front, and we'll find another trolley." Uncle Wang continued, "Anyway, there isn't much gas left for this pickup." ”
"Okay, it's fun to walk with a lot of people anyway." Zhou Zhihong said, and after speaking, he turned around and walked into the car to get a backpack.
I opened the car door and said to Duan Ke: "The road is blocked, we can't continue to take the car, we have to get out of the car and walk." ”
After listening to this, Duan Ke said with some joy: "Okay, okay, I don't want to take the car for a long time." ”
With that, she picked up her bag and walked out of the car.
In a few minutes, we were all in the car and hit the road with our bags on our backs. We stepped on the concrete pier next to the national highway and bypassed the mud pile.
Uncle Wang held a gun and walked at the front of the line like a patrolling soldier.
At this time, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and in another hour, it would be dark. If we can't find a place to stay at night, I'm afraid we can only sleep on the national highway as Zhou Zhihong said.
The place of this landslide is also chosen in this wild countryside, and there are grassy slopes on both sides of the road, and there is no shadow of any artificial buildings.
"Didn't you say you've been here, young man?" Uncle Wang turned back to Zhou Zhihong and said, "Think about it, are there any towns and villages or anything like that in front of you." ”
Zhou Zhihong lowered his head and walked and thought for a while, and said: "I really can't remember, you have seen everything on the side of the road, and they are almost the same." ”
"And have you slept on this road?" I asked Zhou Zhihong.
Zhou Zhihong shook his head and said, "No, I'm lucky, I can always meet the house before dark." Besides, how dare I sleep on the road alone? ”
"Then let's go quickly." Uncle Wang said, and then quickened his pace.
I grabbed Duan Ke and accelerated to follow.
Walking on the road, I realized that the outside world is not as quiet as we hear in the car, and some bird calls will be heard from time to time in the deep mountains, letting us know that there are other lives in this world. As we pass by, we will also alarm the small animals in the woods on the side of the road, and then the sound of them fleeing in panic will be heard.
Uncle Wang said that if he hadn't been in a hurry now, he would definitely go into the woods and catch some game to eat.
After twenty minutes of walking, we still couldn't find a place to stay. I was wondering if I would go back to the car and sleep for the night, and then come out tomorrow to look for it. Just as he was about to propose this idea to Uncle Wang, he suddenly stopped when he was walking in front and stared at the hillside on his right.
I thought to myself, Uncle Wang had found the house, so he looked at the hillside, which was full of grass, and there was nothing on it except for a few unknown trees.
But Uncle Wang just stared at it, not knowing what he found. He walked slowly down the hill, then picked up his gun and shouted, "Who's there!" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, there was a sudden movement in the grass, and I saw a man get up from the deep grass, run a few steps quickly, and then climb over the top of the hill and disappear.
"Chase!" Uncle Wang turned back to me and said a word, and then strode into the grass with a few big strides.
I didn't think anything in my head, and I stood there and reacted for a few seconds before I picked up my gun and followed. By the time I took a step, Uncle Wang was almost at the top of the hill. The hillside is not very high, only six or seven meters high. With a gun in one hand and balance in the other, I quickly climbed to the top of the hill.
Uncle Wang and I stood on the top of the hillside, only to realize that there was a lot of work behind the hillside. A large area in front of us is a basin terrain in which a village is located. Terraced rice fields filled with water were 100 meters away and lined up the hill in turn.
Looks like tonight's resting place has been settled. But I don't have time to enjoy the scenery in front of me, nor do I have time to sigh at the terraced rice fields in front of me. What we need to do now is to find the man who was hiding on the hillside. It must not be a good thing for this man to follow us quietly, and if we don't find him, we won't be able to sleep tonight.
But the man, as if he had suddenly evaporated, could not see any trace of him, not even the trees and grass were still, and he did not know which direction he had run away.
"It's definitely nearby." Uncle Wang looked at the trees under the slope and said.
"But I can't see anything." I say.
Uncle Wang didn't answer me, he brushed away the leaves in front of him, held the Qijiu Chong, and walked down the hillside.
The slopes of this hill are full of pepper trees, with barbs on the branches, and if you are not careful, you will be scratched with blood. I had no choice but to squeeze into the pepper bushes, which were a little more terrifying than these thorny branches.
Every step in the grass will make a sound, and it feels like a situation where the enemy is dark and I am clear. It was already getting dark, and the light was not too strong, so when we went into the bushes, the light was even darker. If someone is hiding somewhere in the bushes, it really won't be easy to spot. I didn't dare to slack off, tensing every nerve, if that man had come with hostility, maybe he would suddenly rush out of somewhere with a knife in his hand and finish us off.
Uncle Wang showed his reconnaissance skills, he was very professional with his gun, he had to look left and right after each step, and then carefully brushed aside the branches in front of him, and was sure before taking the next step. Obviously, it was not the first time he had shuttled through such a forest, and when I saw the expression on Uncle Wang's face, it was neither nervous nor curious, but excited.
Uncle Wang was driving the road in front of me, and the branches he had opened were bounced back one by one, scraping my face, making me very uncomfortable. I found that the Type 5 or 6 submachine gun in my hand seemed a little longer to fight in such an environment. If someone were to lie in ambush next to me, they could have jumped out, grabbed and pushed the barrel of my gun, and took my life.
But with Uncle Wang, a veteran, walking ahead of me, I wasn't too afraid. The people who were hiding on the hillside just now could be discovered by him, and it was impossible to ambush him silently.
After passing through the trees for tens of meters, we still didn't find any traces. The barbs on the branches of the trees had scratched my clothes, and my bare skin had been scratched with small cuts. Before we knew it, we had walked through the bushes and came to an orange grove. A dozen meters further down, there are layers of terraced fields.
The scale of the orange grove is not very large, with only a dozen orange trees planted here. There is no one to be seen here, but there are several graves next to the forest.
"How to get there?" I sat under the orange tree with a gun and asked Uncle Wang.
He still didn't answer me, his eyes moving slowly, looking around for a qiē.
Suddenly, there was a cry from the other side of the grave, which sounded like someone had fallen. Before I could react, Uncle Wang ran towards the grave. I hurried to follow Uncle Wang's footsteps, it seems that the man has fallen, and we have a chance to catch him. My heart beat faster, I focused all my strength on my legs, and I ran as fast as I could.
As soon as I ran past a grave, I felt a kick in the waist, and my body immediately lost my balance and I fell to the ground. The force of the kick was so strong that my mind went blank and I felt like I had flown out. When I landed, I protected my torso with my elbows, but fortunately there was soft dirt underneath me, not hard stones, and it didn't hurt too much. It's just that the gun in his hand didn't hold it steady, and it fell beside him.
Just as he was about to stand up, a gunshot rang out beside him, piercing the silence under the gloomy sky. This shot is smaller than that of the five or six chongs, and louder than the seven jiu chongs, I don't know what kind of gun came out. But what is certain is that this gun was definitely not fired by me and Uncle Wang, and it seems that the person we are chasing also has a gun in his hand.
When I looked towards the place where the gunshots were fired, I saw a man standing on the grave, holding a gun and aiming at Uncle Wang. As for Uncle Wang, he ran in front of me and didn't know that I was kicked, and he only reacted after hearing the gunshots. Now he was holding the gun to his chest, and he didn't have time to raise the gun to shoot back.
It's broken, it's broken, I said in my heart, this time I've met a bandit. And this bandit, not only has a very good body, but also has a very high IQ, and he has deceived a veteran who has been on the battlefield.
The man standing on the grave panted and shouted to Uncle Wang: "Put down the gun!" ”。
