076 Chapter 76 Bamboo drainage

The foreign girl just came out of the hole, and she was soaking wet, curvy, beautiful like a walking hormone, but it was extremely uncomfortable to get wet. Ignoring the pain, she lifted her waterproof backpack and hid behind a tree to change her clothes. Wang Xiaoyu observed the surrounding terrain while standing guard for the foreign girl.

The two climbed out here on the half-slope of a mountain col, the sound of water rumbling in the ears, there is a waterfall more than 100 meters in front, there is a big hole in the middle of the mountainside cliff, it is not a problem to drive a bus to enter, the river water flies out from the hole, and falls into a deep pool of fifty or sixty meters below, the water in this pool looks very deep, dark green can not see the bottom, there is half a football field the size. The location of the deep pool is a valley, surrounded by high mountains, but there is no river for the pool to flow out. The underground river that formed the waterfall, the huge amount of water, poured into the deep pool below day and night, and the water did not flow anywhere else, but it seemed as if it would never be satisfied. It may have flowed into some other underground river.

Wang Xiaoyu suddenly remembered that Xiao Shancha had told him that in a col next to Huilong Cave, there was a coffin pool that could never be filled with water, and many golden turtles grew in it. Because there is a black stone that looks like a coffin in the middle of the pool, it is called the coffin pool. Wang Xiaoyu looked into the pool, and sure enough, he saw a rectangular black stone protruding in the middle of the pool, more than 3 meters wide and more than seven or eight meters long, rectangular, and the two ends were indeed quite like a coffin.

Then this should still be in the territory of country A, looking back at the top of the mountain behind him, he found that among the trees, there are some evenly spaced cement piles, the distance is too far, whether there is a barbed wire fence in the middle of the cement pole but I can't see clearly, but it is obvious that it is the national border, and the other side of the mountain should be the territory of country Z.

The foreign girl had already changed her clothes, walked out with a branch, and saw Wang Xiaoyu observing the national border on the top of the mountain. Asked, "Are we going to climb mountains and cross borders now?" ”

Wang Xiaoyu said: "No, on the one hand, we don't have a guide, and it's very dangerous to wander blindly in the mountains. On the other hand, there must be a lot of open and secret posts on the border line, and there is no one to lead the way, and we will definitely be arrested."

The girl said, "So what now?" To the city of Galen? It's the territory of the Wolf Legion, should I go there and throw myself into the net? ”

Wang Xiaoyu said: "Even if the Wild Wolf Legion doesn't trouble you, you won't be able to walk these seventy or eighty miles of mountain roads." ”

"So what to do?" The foreign girl asked anxiously, but she didn't expect that crossing the border was not as easy as the legend said.

Wang Xiaoyu said: "The most dangerous place is often the safest place, the soldiers of country M just came out of the eucalyptus forest field last night, if we turn back now, they will definitely not think of it." ”

"!" The foreign girl said disdainfully: "The police handle the case, and they like to wait for the rabbit the most, and they are not allowed to ambush a few secret sentinels in the forest farm, waiting for us to go back and take the bait."

Wang Xiaoyu also makes sense when he thinks about it, the way of thinking of Easterners is different from that of Westerners, don't be smart but be mistaken by smart. After thinking for a while, he said, "Well, let's see if there are any people in the vicinity, and it will be much safer to find a local to take us across the border." ”

The girl said, "That's the only way it can be."

Immediately discerning the direction, Wang Xiaoyu walked in front with his luggage on his back, and the foreign girl walked behind with a branch, walking around the edge of the valley under the waterfall.

Walking through the valley, the edge area is a chaotic stone forest, some places are strange rocks, some places are steep and steep, and there is no road at all. The trees in the rocky bushes did not grow, there was not even a shade to shade the sun, only a few knee-high weeds. Today's sun is particularly fierce, with the injured foreign girl and can't walk fast, just came out of the underground river Wang Xiaoyu was soaked, can't walk a few steps, the sweat on his forehead is like rain, sometimes wipe not in a hurry to blur his eyes. It didn't take long for the wet clothes to be dried in the sun, and then they were soaked with sweat. It took less than an hour, and it was a few back and forth, wet and dry. Therefore, when he saw the bamboos in front of him, he saw a savior, as soon as he walked into the shadow of the bamboo, Wang Xiaoyu lay paralyzed on the grass, not wanting to get up again.

The girl handed Wang Xiaoyu the iron box containing compressed biscuits, and there was a small half box of water in it, Wang Xiaoyu took it, and drank it all in one gulp. Yang Niu smiled and blamed: "You are honest, you're welcome, and you don't remember to leave me half a mouthful." ”

Wang Xiaoyu said: "Do you still have to worry about the lack of water when you get here? ”

The girl looked left and right, pointed to the waterhole half a mile down the mountain and said, "You're not going to run down the mountain again to fetch water, are you?" ”

Wang Xiaoyu didn't speak, pulled out the dagger given to him by the foreign girl from his waist, looked at the bamboos around him, chose a thigh-thick, healthy and thick bamboo, and pierced it with a dagger at the bottom of the three bamboo knots from the ground, and then stirred the dagger slowly and vigorously, and it took a lot of effort to pierce the one-centimeter-thick bamboo tube, and a clear stream sprayed out of the bamboo tube and injected it into the iron box in Wang Xiaoyu's hand. When the water in the bamboo tube ran out, the water filled the iron box in his hand as well.

Wang Xiaoyu handed the iron box full of water to the foreign girl and said, "Drink, drink enough, fill it up and take it away later."

The foreign girl asked hesitantly, "Can you drink the water in this bamboo?" ”

Wang Xiaoyu said: "Of course you can drink it, it is natural, safe, hygienic and non-polluting." This kind of water medicine in bamboo is called bamboo drain water, which is mainly used to clear heat and dissolve phlegm, and pharmacies have sold it, do you say you can drink it? ”

The girl looked at the water in her hand for a while, and tasted it shallowly with her tongue, feeling a slight bitter taste, and nothing else, she took two sips and said: "It seems that the sanitation of this water is not a problem, and it is okay to use it for emergency when there is a shortage of water, but what you said clears heat and dissolves phlegm, there is no scientific basis, right?" ”

Wang Xiaoyu said: "Traditional Chinese medicine is a science summed up by practical experience, for thousands of years, people have concluded that this medicine is effective for a certain disease, but no one has done the pharmacological components. Therefore, although it has real effects, it is difficult to find the scientific basis for what you say, which is the main reason why it is difficult to promote Chinese medicine in the world. ”

Yang Niu said: "Isn't that still no scientific basis, water is water, what is so mysterious?" ”

Wang Xiaoyu said: "People don't understand something, can't conclude that it is unscientific, for example, some people say that there are aliens, some people say that there are no aliens, so who is not scientific?" Neither can prove that the other is unscientific. ”

Yang Niu said: "We are talking about Chinese medicine now, how did you get involved with aliens?" ”

Wang Xiaoyu said: "Okay, let's talk about traditional Chinese medicine, Nobel Prize winner, Teacher Tu XX has heard of it, right?" ”

Yangniu said: "This naturally knows that Tu XX discovered artemisinin, which is a special medicine for malaria." Saved millions of lives, an amazing scientist. ”

Wang Xiaoyu said: "That's right, the reason why Mr. Tu XX was able to discover artemisinin is because traditional Chinese medicine has used Artemisia annua to treat malaria for a long time. According to historical records, it has a history of more than 2,000 years. She just extracted artemisinin from Artemisia annua plants, and then wrote a pharmacological report according to the requirements of Western medicine, which is in line with the science you are talking about, and there is a so-called scientific basis, so she can win the Nobel Prize. In fact, it's not the set of things left by our ancestors? ”

The foreign girl smiled and said: "You are so competitive, no wonder you can't find a girlfriend in your thirties."

While talking, at the foot of the mountain in front of them, there were suddenly two dog barks, the two hurriedly stopped, took a few steps forward, climbed to the bottom of the bamboo, and the girl took out her binoculars and carefully observed the path at the foot of the mountain through the bamboo leaves.

There is a small road around the foot of the mountain less than half a mile ahead, the path is not wide, a three-wheeled motorcycle can barely pass, if there is another three-wheeled motorcycle on the opposite side, it is not easy to find a place to avoid. At this time, a patrol of the government army of country A came out of the corner, a wolf dog ran in front of it in a stop-and-stop manner, and eight soldiers walked slowly in a loose formation.

The girl recognized that it was the patrol team they had met in the morning. This section of the path followed the foot of the mountain, concave inward to the small col in front of them, and the nearest place was less than 200 meters away from Wang Xiaoyu and them. The barren mountains and mountains are exceptionally quiet, and the soldiers at the foot of the mountain can hear them clearly.

The formation of this squad is still so loose, and it can be seen from the relaxed demeanor of each of them that they are really doing business for the people of the United States, and they are unwilling to spend extra effort. As the line got closer, their voices grew clearer.

A soldier said: "Captain, I heard that the border police of country Z in the north arrested a group of soldiers from country M in the morning, is it true?" ”

The man who was called the captain said, "It must be true, we have brothers who saw it on the mountain, and besides, they did not come to collect the supplies we prepared for the people of country M in the camp. ”

The soldier said, "Haha, what a delight! Oh no, I mean, country Z is getting more and more promising, and even the soldiers of country M dare to catch it. ”

The captain said: "What's so strange about that, the soldiers of country M have all gone to other people's countries, can they not care?" Rabbits bite when they're in a hurry! ”

The soldier said: "This team of rice soldiers is really dead, I don't understand, the world is so big, it's not enough for you to go on a rampage, why do you have to go to the country to find a lot?" ”

The captain said, "I heard that we are chasing a terrorist, and we have been patrolling this barren mountain for the past two days to assist them. ”

The soldier said, "The M guys have been detained, who else are we going to help?" Besides, since they have chased to country Z, it means that the terrorists have fled to country Z, even if it is useless to send a million troops to guard the border, why do we still have to toss around in this barren mountain? ”

The captain said: "You don't complain twice, the military order cannot be violated, do you know?" Besides, from here to Galen, there are more than a dozen patrols patrolling like us, looking for that terrorist, are you alone talking too much? Do you know that the gun shoots the first bird? ”

The soldier sneered: "Hehe, that's what I said, you have to bask in the sun when you should be in the sun, you have to be in the rain and you have to be in the rain, and the life of a big-headed soldier is bitter." ”

Slowly, the patrol moved away, and in a moment it was out of the col, and when it turned the bend at the foot of the hill in front of it, it was out of sight, and only occasionally there was some indistinct voice.
