Chapter 6 The Eagle
Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read. The temperature gradually warmed up over the next few days, which does not bode well. Once the temperature rises to a certain height, mosquitoes can run wild. In such a big mountain, it is deadly. Although we brought insect repellent water, it is not a panacea. The only thing you can do when the time comes is to wrap yourself tightly.
I know it's not going to be an easy one.
As expected, after a week of resting here, Huzi and I went down the mountain to fetch water when we spotted mosquitoes.
Huzi slapped himself on the neck, and a flower mosquito died in the palm of his hand. Huzi said: "Lao Chen, there are mosquitoes." ”
I said, "It looks like I'm going to have to wear a scarf and a hat in the future." ”
Huzi opened his mouth and panted, looked at the sky and said, "It's so hot, some of them have endured." ”
"Don't get malaria, you're going to die here." I said, "Take precautions, it's okay to get hot, drink plenty of water." ”
When we came back, we told everyone the news that there were mosquitoes, and the corpse was very self-blaming, saying that it was holding everyone back.
I said, "I set off a little late, I knew it was so hot here, and I could come out after the New Year, but I was more than a month late." ”
The corpse figure stood up and said, "My leg has healed, and I should be able to leave tomorrow, and I can't delay any longer." It is necessary to go back before the rainy season. ”
I said, "That should be fine." ”
The next day, everyone was fully armed, and the best equipment was Lin Susu and the monkey. They wore a gauze over their hats, covering their necks and heads. We had to wrap our faces and necks in scarves and put on a pair of windproof goggles.
On this day, we climbed over a high mountain in front of us, and from this high mountain we saw in the distance that there was indeed a city wall and a beacon tower in front of us.
The good thing about the mountains is that they are cool and free of mosquitoes, and although it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, we didn't go any further, and planned to rest here for the night. Especially the corpse shadow, although the wound has healed, but her body is weak, and the reason for resting early has also been considered.
Lin Susu took off his special hat at this time, looked ahead with a telescope and said, "After passing the beacon tower, you can see a Baitou Mountain after walking for three days." There is no snow on the mountain, but the sun on the top of the mountain reflects white light, and it looks like a snow-capped mountain. ”
I said, "Longpan Snow Mountain? ”
She nodded and said, "That's right, on the west side of this mountain is the Redwood Cliff, and the Redwood Cliff is not a mountain cliff, it is a redwood forest." There is a very small cliff behind the forest. The Devil's City is located in a basin west of the Redwood Bluffs. ”
"How big is the city?"
"Very big."
"Is it bigger than Beijing?"
"That's not the case." Lin Susu said, "It's half the size." The whole country is just one city, and almost 95 percent of the people live in this city. How big do you think it will be? ”
"What else do you know?"
Lin Susu said: "As long as the sun sets, the devil will come out." ”
"Is it a demon or a dragon?" I asked.
"How do I know, when the old class master is dying, he will talk about demons for a while, and evil dragons for a while." Lin Susu said loudly, "Because of this, I have checked a lot of information, and I still don't understand what a demon is. ”
I nodded and hummed, and then I looked at Huzi, who had already drunk with the Sichuan people.
Lin Susu asked me, "Aren't you going to drink some?" ”
I waved my hands and said, "I can't, I can't sleep when I drink." ”
"Don't smoke, don't drink, don't play cards, don't pick up girls, what's the point of your life?"
I looked at Lin Sule and said, "I don't know, I think it's good." Why does it have to be interesting to live? Isn't it good to live peacefully without desire? ”
"I've served you, if you don't drink it, I'll drink two glasses."
Lin Susu shouted to the monkey at this time: "Monkey, let's go have two drinks." ”
A group of them sat down together to drink, Xu Hui also joined them, and I ate something here with Corpse Shadow, Lu Xueman, and Yuwanwan, and then I leaned on a big rock and watched the sunset.
At this time, I was a little homesick, thinking about our alley, and thinking about the dumplings made by my third aunt's grandmother. I don't know what's going on, but I don't miss Hu Xian much. And I suspect more and more that their family is a spy.
If I really feel right, I really don't know how to face Hu Xian.
I don't have any direct evidence, but I have a strong hunch. In such a situation, I have to trust my feelings and not leave anything to chance.
Lin Susu came over with a red face, sat down next to me and said, "You really don't want to drink some?" ”
I shook my head at this time, and then I looked at Lin Susu and said, "Do you still have contact with the Hu family?" ”
Lin Susu shook his head and said, "I haven't contacted the Hu family for a long time, but the Hu family has sent people to look for us a few times, but I haven't replied." There's nothing to get in touch with, and I don't want to find an ancestor for myself. ”
"Have you been contacted before?"
"The old head of the class has always been in touch when he was here, and he also took me to the Hu family to live for a few days." Lin Susu said, "You should understand that it is nothing more than cooperation, all for money." There is actually no friendship. ”
I said, "Do you know Hu Xian?" ”
Lin Susu smiled and said, "Of course I know, you said she was your girlfriend, is it true?" ”
I waved my hand and said, "Not yet, I want to hear what you know about her." ”
"For just a few days, I didn't know much. It's a kid, it's too vague. Lin Susu said, "It's beautiful, and it's also very cunning." She would give me all the candy and toys in front of people, and as soon as the adults left, she would all go back. If I don't give it back, she'll punch me in the stomach. It's all from childhood, and it's not of much value. ”
I nodded and said, "yes, it's been too long." At that time, I was still young, and everything could be explained by naivety. ”
"By the way, she has a birthmark on her chest, red, and it looks like a clover." Lin Susu said, "When we took a shower together, she showed it to me. Lie to me that I carved it with a knife, and lie to me to use a knife to carve one. She really carved it in my chest with a knife that day, and I was stupid at the time, and it hurt, but I felt that since she could bear it, I could bear it too. In addition, I was really afraid that she wouldn't take me to play in the future, so I put up with it. Later, thanks to the adults finding out, they stopped her. ”
As he spoke, Lin Susu unbuttoned it, and then tugged at his bra, and sure enough, a scar was revealed on his chest. She smiled bitterly and said, "For me, this Hu Xian is my nightmare, and I often dream that she bullies me. It's still the same. ”
I felt very embarrassed when I saw her place, but Lin Susu was generous and didn't care.
She said: "Later, I heard from the old class master that Hu Xian was sent to her uncle's house by her father because she was too naughty, and her uncle was a very strict teacher, and Hu Xian suffered some of them. ”
"Where's her uncle?"
Lin Susu shrugged and said, "I don't know." That's all there is to Hu Xian's memory, don't ask me this question in the future, I'll tell you everything I know. ”
I snorted. Then I looked up through the binoculars and I said, "The closer I go, the more I feel like I don't know the bottom of my heart." ”
Lin Susu said: "The people brought by the old class master back then were all masters, including the people from the eight archaeological teams, and they were not fuel-efficient lamps. After entering the city, the bones were found and immediately came out. ”
"I heard that Li Bai died here." I muttered. "Aren't you curious?"
Lin Susu said, "What do you mean? Do you want to visit Li Bai's tomb? ”
I tilted my head to look at Lin Susu and said, "Don't you want to?" ”
"Even if there is, it may not be found."
I said, "I can find it." ”
"Can you find it?"
I nodded and said, "If I find it, will I?" ”
Lin Susu leaned back at this time, leaned next to me, leaned her head on my shoulder, and said: "If you can find it, if I don't go down to take a look, I won't want to sleep well in this life, and I guess I will run back in my dreams." ”
I lifted her head up and said, "I am a man who has never believed in evil." It's all here, as you said, if you don't go down and have a look, you're really a little unwilling. "High-quality and free reading is in the Reading Pavilion."
