Chapter 0079: The Third Rest Point
Mu Wanyin's convoy avoided the checkpoint and drove directly to a village at the foot of a mountain. Mu Wanyin stepped out of the wrangler's cab and looked out at the mountains and forests in the distance.
The door of a warrior off-road vehicle opened, and a man with a dark face walked out, then walked to Mu Wanyin's side, and said respectfully: "Miss Mu, I entered from the mountain forest in front, climbed over the cliff, and then entered Hongxiagou. ”
"Coach Ma, lead the way, this matter is done, and your benefits are indispensable." Mu Wanyin said with a smile.
"Well, I'm ready to go." Ma Tie said.
Zhou Zhe would never have dreamed that Ma Tie, the outdoor coach who was supposed to pick him up from Hongxiagou, didn't come because this Ma Tie was already working for Mu Wanyin.
Half an hour later, a large group of bodyguards with professional mountaineering equipment drove towards the distant mountain under the leadership of Ma Tie.
At the same time, on a peak in the Great Snow Mountain, Ling Xiao was carrying Tang Meiyu on his back and walking down the peak.
In the distance, an endless meadow can already be seen.
Tang Meiyu seems to have gotten used to the feeling of being on Ling Xiao's back, and sometimes when Ling Xiao reaches out and puts her hips around her, she doesn't have the initial shyness. On Ling Xiao's back, she felt comfortable, comfortable, and a strong sense of security. Ling Xiao did what he said, and defeated the Great Snow Mountain behind her back.
Click! Tang Meiyu held a single-lens reflex camera and took two photos of a snowlotus growing in the snow.
Ling Xiao walked over, bent down, and took out a hand from Tang Meiyu's buttocks to pick up the snow lotus, and stuffed it into the backpack he carried on his chest.
"What are you doing? Such a beautiful flower, I didn't provoke you, what did you pull people out for? Tang Meiyu reproached.
Ling Xiao smiled and said: "In your eyes, it is a beautiful thing, but in my eyes it is just a medicinal herb. ”
"That's right, from the doctor's point of view, it's still a medicinal herb, what is the thousand-year-old snow lotus in martial arts novels, it's a treasure, just eat one plant can increase the internal strength of a jiazi." Tang Meiyu's imagination is really rich, which may be related to her profession.
Ling Xiao turned his hand behind his back again and hugged Tang Meiyu's buttocks. The feeling of plump and bouncy made him secretly excited. In fact, even if he didn't want to admit it, he actually enjoyed the process of conquering the snow mountains with Tang Meiyu on his back.
Tang Meiyu suddenly handed the camera to Ling Xiao and took a picture of Ling Xiao's face. In the camera, Ling Xiao looked very surprised, but she was lying on Ling Xiao's shoulder, but she looked very sweet and happy. After taking a candid photo, she smiled and said, "I'm going to save this photo as a souvenir." ”
"Sister Tang, do you like to take pictures?"
"Yes, every time I go outdoors, I have to bring my camera and take a lot of pictures." Tang Meiyu said, while admiring the "group photo" she had just taken with Ling Xiao. She felt that Ling Xiao's expression was very much like that of a frightened husky.
"I have a teacher who also loves to take pictures." Ling Xiao thought of Hu Lin, and a longing arose in his heart, he hadn't seen her for a while, was she still busy teaching?
"Your teacher?"
"Her name is Hu Lin, and if you know each other, she and you will become very good friends." Ling Xiao said.
"Then I must get to know her when I have a chance, and the person you introduced must not be wrong." Tang Meiyu has a very special trust in Ling Xiao.
The two talked and laughed, and before they knew it, they walked down the last snowy peak and came to the halfway up the mountain.
As the altitude decreases, so does the temperature. Ling Xiao was sweating all over, and the sweat wet his clothes, which also affected Tang Meiyu who was lying on his back. Tang Meiyu also sweated hotly, and the sweat also wet her underwear, but she was wrapped in a waterproof jacket, which couldn't be seen from the outside at all.
"It's so hot, Ling Xiao, let's rest, I'll take off my jacket, it's too hot." Tang Meiyu couldn't stand it anymore.
"Okay, let's rest." Ling Xiao put Tang Meiyu down, he was actually too hot for a long time, but he was reluctant to carry Tang Meiyu down the mountain. That's just wonderful.
Tang Meiyu sat down on a relatively flat rock, unzipped the jacket, and then took it off. Inside the jacket is a white cotton T-shirt, one soaked with sweat, and the white skin is close to the fabric, which has a hazy beauty.
"Here, let's eat something." Ling Xiao handed Tang Meiyu a pack of beef jerky and a bottle of mineral water.
"Thank you." Tang Meiyu said thank you softly, and then closed her eyes and prayed.
Ling Xiao didn't know how devout Tang Meiyu's beliefs were, but every time before eating food, he saw Tang Meiyu close her eyes and pray silently before eating food. So he felt that she should be a very devout Christian, not a pretentious kind of false faith.
Tang Meiyu's eating movements are very gentle, chewing little by little, so elegant.
Ling Xiao turned his head and didn't dare to look at Tang Meiyu's way of eating, because in the face of the temptation of getting wet, and then looking at her delicate cherry mouth slowly chewing food, it was difficult for him to control him from thinking crookedly.
The two of them ate a little, and their strength and spirit were restored, and they were not as hot as just now. Ling Xiao took out the map he got from the Hu family brothers, compared the terrain, and then pointed in one direction and said, "It should be the third rest point of the Hu family brothers, we have already been to the first two, and that is the last one." ”
Tang Meiyu nodded, "Let's go and have a look, I hope there will be a harvest this time." ”
Hunters usually create a relatively safe rest point in the mountains or forests where they hunt, which is used to deal with some special situations, such as rain, such as injury, etc., and usually store some water or food in the rest point to replenish consumption.
According to the descriptions of the Hu family brothers, as well as clues found from the two hunters of the Chen family, Ling Xiao suspected that they were in contact with the source of the virus, and the source of the ghost burn was most likely on some of the things they had come into contact with. Therefore, he and Tang Meiyu followed the places where the Hu brothers walked and observed and searched one by one. If the third rest point and its vicinity are still not found, then the only way to look for it is to go to the grassland.
Ling Xiao didn't want that result, because it would take more time, and the Hu brothers and some villagers infected with the ghost burning virus couldn't wait that long.
The third rest point is a cave facing the grassland, at least 500 meters above sea level from the foot of the mountain. Its entrance was hidden in a low bush, and Ling Xiao had a lot of trouble finding it.
The entrance to the cave is very narrow, and it can only accommodate one person to crawl into it, and Ling Xiao obviously can't carry Tang Meiyu on his back.
"Sister Tang, you stay outside and wait for me for a while, I'll go in and have a look." Ling Xiao put Tang Meiyu down.
Tang Meiyu grabbed Ling Xiao's hand, "How can you go in alone?" It's too dangerous, if you want to go in, go in together. ”
"Your foot is injured, so it's inconvenient." Ling Xiao didn't want her to take risks.
"This little cave can only be climbed into, and you don't need to walk on your feet." Tang Meiyu said.
Ling Xiao looked at her speechlessly.
Tang Meiyu insisted on saying: "You leave me outside, what if a wolf comes?" I'm also not safe outside. ”
Ling Xiao didn't squeeze her in the end, he sighed, "Okay, you follow me, be sure to pay attention to safety, don't touch the things in the cave casually." ”
"I remember." This time, Tang Meiyu was very obedient.
Ling Xiao gave Tang Meiyu a small illness pill and asked her to eat it, and then he also took one himself. Before entering the cave, he also deliberately brought an anti-bacterial mask and anti-bacterial gloves. Tang Meiyu is also fully armed and ready for protection. After doing all this, Ling Xiao squatted down and slowly walked into the cave with his knees and palms.
The inside of the cave was so dark that the flashlight could not shine on the innermost part of the cave. As far as the eye could see, there were all craggy rocks, and some dead branches and fallen leaves that were brought in by the Hu brothers. The scattered leaves and branches on the ground indicate a problem, that is, the Hu brothers have really been here before, because the wind can't blow the leaves and branches in, and the beast, the beast, the beast will not be so boring, and there is no time to carry the leaves and play.
Tick......
A strange voice suddenly entered Ling Xiao's ears, and he stopped vigilantly. He suddenly "braked suddenly", and Tang Meiyu, who was following behind his buttocks, accidentally hit his buttocks.
"Sorry ......"
"Sorry ......"
Ling Xiao and Tang Meiyu would apologize at the same time, and both of them were embarrassed. Ling Xiao felt that he was abrupt, but Tang Meiyu hit Ling Xiao's ass with his face, in short, whether it was the attacking party or the receiving party, it felt very strange.
"It's fine."
"It's fine."
Again, the two of them spoke in unison, as if they had rehearsed.
This time, Ling Xiao didn't say anything more and continued to crawl forward. He had determined that the ticking sound was the sound of water.
After climbing forward for a while, the space in the cave suddenly opened up, and what appeared in front of Ling Xiao and Tang Meiyu was a natural cave of two or three hundred square meters, with irregular sides and a height of about ten meters. Drops of milky white liquid dripped from the columnar rocks overhead, and converged into a milky pool on the ground.
The waterhole and its surroundings are full of strangely shaped stalactites, some like bamboo shoots, some like cucumbers, and some like bananas...... It's a strange sight, it's like walking into a vegetable shop opened by an aunt.
"Wow! Oh my God, what a beautiful view, I want to take pictures. Tang Meiyu said excitedly.
"You can shoot if you want, but don't touch anything, I'll take a look here." Ling Xiao said.
He had already found some of the things that the Hu brothers had kept in the cave, in a corner on higher ground, where the ground was dry, with a thick layer of hay on the ground, and next to it were two plastic buckets, as well as rice, oil, and a bundle of dry firewood, and a small blackened iron pot.
