Chapter 30: Pansi Cave
Li Zhen glanced at her backpack, intending to leave the girl who seemed to be quite familiar with "herself" as soon as possible.
So he nodded: "Then I wish you a good journey - I have to go first." ”
The girl tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Hey, take me for a ride." It was getting dark, and I couldn't walk in front alone. ”
Li Zhen was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, the stunned kung fu girl had already begun to shake his arm: "Help, I don't have a bicycle." Or do you feel tired and the two of us switch to ride? ”
He really didn't want to go with her anymore - but this one was a self-acquaintance. In this way, it is not good for him to shake his hand, pull down his face, and walk away by himself. What he thinks about is the convenience of going out with others and himself, not to mention that this girl looks ...... It's pretty normal.
So he sighed, "Okay, you come to the back and sit tight." ”
The two of them hit the road like that. After absorbing the two forces in Ying Ran and Hu Yanling's bodies, and getting some remains from the cat that had not yet been completely differentiated, his strength was now greater than that of ordinary people. So he didn't feel much effort with the girl, and the bike was still running fast.
The girl began to pull the back seat with her hand, and then it seemed that the backpack on her back was too heavy and always pulled her back, so she silently wrapped her arms around Li Zhen's waist. Li Zhen didn't say anything, but the girl said in the wind as if she wanted to relieve some kind of embarrassing atmosphere: "Hey, I don't know your name yet, my name is Sun Lili, what about you?" ”
Li Zhen thought for a while: "My name is Li Wen." ”
A mouth filled with wind, and he quickly closed it again.
The sun has gradually tilted to the west. I don't know if Shen Mu's prophecy is going to come true. During this time, the pale red aurora in the sky has become fainter and fainter. By this time, the dim red light mingled with the afterglow of the setting sun, as if returning to the years before the catastrophe struck—the heavens and the earth were gilded with an orange color, and the two men seemed to have been cast in red copper.
Pedestrians began to appear on the road, and there were low-rise houses on both sides of the road. They rushed for nearly an hour and finally arrived in Lingxian before sunset.
So Li Zhen slowed down and parked the bike on the side of the road. Sun Lili jumped out of the back seat.
Ahead is the road into the city, and there is a fork in the road here. The fork in the road is hastily paved with stones and asphalt, and it slopes west from the side of the wide road into a dense forest.
Li Zhen stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "You follow this road and enter the city, I have to go this way." ”
Sun Lili said "Huh": "You don't go into the city?" ”
"I'm out for a walk, too." Li Zhen smiled. "I want to spend the night at the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum."
"But you didn't bring anything? There are no tents either. Sun Lili looked at him. Are you going to sleep in the open? ”
Li Zhen sighed in his heart, feeling that this girl was indeed very enthusiastic, but she was a little too enthusiastic. So he simply waved his hand: "It doesn't matter." I'm leaving, bye-bye! ”
With that, he pushed his rattling bicycle down the slope.
But he didn't expect that he had just walked out of the city for more than a dozen steps. Sun Lili chased after her from behind again. She trotted and shouted, "Hey." I'm not going into town anymore - I'm on foot anyway. Then I'll sleep out too. ”
Her large backpack jumped behind her back, and the contents made a slight rattling sound. Li Zhen stopped and looked at her carefully for a while. She stood in the afterglow of the setting sun. The hairs on the face are clearly visible, and the chest is slightly undulating.
Sun Lili smiled at him: "How good is it for two people to be companions?" You can also talk in the evening. ”
Li Zhen thought for a while, looked at her thoughtfully, and nodded.
The two men walked in silence for a while, and then went into the woods. In fact, the trees on both sides are artificially planted and neatly arranged. Behind the trees there is a deep canal, and behind the canal is also an earthen embankment with trees, and behind the earthen embankment is a large field.
Sun Lili coughed and explained a little uncomfortably: "Actually, I just think you are very funny, and it just so happens that I also want to go to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum to have a look." That place is also on my itinerary. ”
Li Zhen pursed his lips and smiled and nodded at her: "I think you are also quite interesting." ”
The afterglow of the setting sun was getting dimmer, the sunlight filtering through the foliage was fading, and the road was shrouded in a faint red light, except for the footsteps of two people and the rustle of bicycle wheels against the sand—the simple asphalt pavement had disappeared a few minutes ago.
Mosquitoes and small flying insects buzzed out of the grass on the side of the road, and the gnats began to sing in a low voice. The evening breeze blows through the leaves, and the sound of "la-la-la" is heard on both sides of the road.
After walking for a while, Sun Lili grabbed the back seat of Li Zhen's bicycle: "The road ahead may not be easy, you wait a minute." ”
Then she put her backpack on the back seat, pulled open a slit, and pulled out a kerosene lamp from it.
Li Zhen sighed and praised. And Sun Lili looked quite proud, and after lighting it, she twisted the semicircular cover on it, and the fire inside flickered brightly and dimly. Then she pulled on either side—two curved pieces of iron forming a semicircle, revealing only the front section of glass.
She held the small flashlight-like lamp in her hand and shone it on both sides: "Let's go!" ”
"Pretty good." Li Zhen smiled and said, "You see there is also light ahead, there may be a village." ”
He raised his hand and pointed to the west. Through the large fields you can see a small hill, and there is a little light under the hill. Reflecting the sky that has not yet completely darkened, you can even see a few curling smokes.
"I didn't expect to have such a place when I arrived at the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, I thought we would have to sleep in the open." Li Zhen smiled, "Well, your preparation is not very good." ”
Sun Lili pouted: "The horse has stumbled." ”
"So where are we going?" Li Zhen asked.
"Okay."
Further on, the Huangsha Road gradually narrowed, leaving only the uneven loess road. Li Zhen's bicycle bumped and bumped on the road, and the sound of clanging was heard in the open field for a long time. The tall trees on both sides of the road gradually thinned out. At the end of the road, only large clumps of weeds and dwarf shrubs remained.
In some places, there seemed to be a lot of flies and mosquitoes, and when they walked by, they would be startled, and then there would be an unpleasant smell of rot. Sun Lili frowned and fanned her face with her hand: "What is it?" ”
Li Zhen said lightly: "Maybe it's a corpse." ”
Sun Lili was stunned, but Li Zhen smiled slightly: "Small animals or something." ”
Then he raised his hand and said, "It's at the entrance of the village." ”
In fact, the so-called "village entrance" is only the section of the road between the two houses. There are not many lights in the village, only a few houses have lights on. It's a bit reluctant to say that it's a village - it's just a dozen families.
But right now, it seems that someone is greeting the two of them.
Faintly four or five figures came out of the house at the entrance of the village and stopped halfway on the road, and there was a "click" sound. Although it was not clear in the darkness, Li Zhen could hear the sound of a gun being loaded. His steps paused slightly, but five people a dozen paces away had already strode over—with guns in hand.
The man who hit the head had a cigarette butt in his mouth, which flickered and went out, reflecting the uncertainty on his face. He walked up to Li Zhen in a few steps and looked at it with the light in Sun Lili's hand. grinning: "That's it?" ”
Sun Lili pulled Li Zhen's arm. Shrinking behind him: "...... What do we do? ”
Li Zhen let out a soft breath, slowly let go of the bicycle, and let it fall to the ground with a "clang". Then he broke free of Sun Lili's hand, walked between them, turned around and smiled: "Alas, I really didn't see that you were doing this when I first saw you." ”
Sun Lili was stunned. Carrying the kerosene lamp in his hand, he asked, "What did you say?" ”
The man smiled: "Sister Li." People can see it. ”
Sun Lili glanced at the man. Sigh. Then the panic on his face disappeared, leaving only a sneer: "What about him." Suffocated me. ”
The tall man waved his head at the one next to him, and a man in a white T-shirt walked over and took the backpack from Sun Lili's shoulder. He handed her another cigarette and lit it with a match. Sun Lili frowned, took a deep puff of her cigarette, and then waved her hand: "Bring him in." ”
There was a loud burst of gunfire, and the muzzle of the gun was waved in the direction of the house at the entrance of the village. Li Zhen obediently walked over with them, and a person behind him put a gun on his back, and scolded with a smile: "The psychological quality is quite good." ”
"It's not as good as your sister Li." He said lightly.
Sun Lili turned her head to look at him and pushed the door open.
The furnishings inside are quite simple - ordinary rural people. There are two stoves, and there is a fire in the stove, and there is a trace of white gas oozing out from the cracks in the lid of the cauldron. These people followed Sun Lili all the way to the inner room. There was a table on the floor in the middle of the room, and there were several guns on the table, as well as a few bullets standing on it. The kang was messily covered with futon, and Li Zhen noticed in the light of two kerosene lamps that there were a few drops of black-brown blood stained on one of the quilts on the kang.
Sun Lili turned around and sat down next to the table, picked up a porcelain bowl, and drank all the water before putting it down and looking at Li Zhen gloomily.
Li Zhen was pointed at gunpoint by several people behind her, looking at her with a calm face.
"How do you see that?" She asked.
Li Zhen said to the big backpack in the strong man's hand: "Such a heavy guy, it makes a noise again, and when you hear it, it is loaded with bullets." Besides, you flashed a few times when you turned on the light - you don't really think that you are the only ones who can understand Morse code, do you? ”
Sun Lili looked at the strong man. The man frowned in confusion, grabbed his bag and shook it. It is true that there is a slight sound, but it is not noticeable. Silently, he swept a blanket out of the table, pulled open the bag and poured it down—
A dozen heavy boxes landed on the table.
"I really got it!" The strong man excitedly opened the lid of the box, revealing the yellow bullets inside. He gave Sun Lili a thumbs up again: "Sister Li still has a set." ”
Sun Lili ignored him and only looked at Li Zhen: "The ear is very good." Say, where's the brother? ”
Li Zhen tilted his head and thought for a while: "Why don't I ask you first - why didn't you think about luring me over when you saw 'me' a few days ago?" ”
Sun Lili smiled: "Yo, your courage is not bad." To say the words of the other day...... There were still a few days to go, and I wasn't sure I could do anything with you. But who made you meet me again today? Where are the rest of you? ”
Li Zhen frowned slightly and thought about it, and said, "Let me guess...... A few days ago, you knew that I came to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum. At that time, you wanted to bring me here, but like you said, you didn't know how to go for days. Today you met me again, pestering me to come with me. If I go into the city, you'll follow me and try to get me here. But it just so happens that I'm going this way myself—that's what you want, isn't it? ”
Sun Lili didn't speak. So Li Zhen sighed: "I can understand all this, but what I don't understand is that it doesn't seem that you don't know me either—why do you want to do this?" ”
The strong man slapped the table: "Do you still pretend to be stupid!" I'll tell you, we've killed several of you. No matter how honest you are, you are not afraid of more on the side of the road! ”
Li Zhen spread his hands: "Speaking of which, it seems that the key question is - because I want to come to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum?" Why can't this place come about? ”
As soon as the strong man raised his hand, he wanted to hit him with a gun. But Sun Lili waved her hand to stop him, frowned slightly and looked at Li Zhen: "You are still so calm at this time...... You don't want to tell me you're here for a tourist, not a way out, are you? ”
"I'm just coming to see." Li Zhen said helplessly, "I also want to follow you to see why you have to follow me, what is the purpose." But a few people, we should be well water and not river water - what do you think I do? ”
The people in the room looked at each other. Even the strong man before was a little hesitant. In his opinion...... This time it seems that there was indeed a misunderstanding.
Sun Lili stared at him for a while, and said slowly, "You didn't come here for this mausoleum?" ”
Li Zhen's heart jumped slightly, and a thought came to him. He turned his head to look at the room—there was something unusual about the floor. It hasn't rained for the past few days, and when I walked on the dirt road, the road was dry and dusty.
However, there was a lot of fresh dirt on the floor of this house. He looked at the strong man's shoes again—he was wearing a pair of leather boots, and there was dried yellow mud on the uppers.
He frowned, "You can't be tomb robbers, right?" ”
Then look at the guns on the table: "Grave robbing is so violent now?" ”
Sun Lili and the strong man glanced at each other, stared at Li Zhen for a while, stood up and waved his hand: "It looks like it's really wrong." ”
She picked up a pistol from the table and took two steps forward against Li Zhen's head: "Since you are not in our business, what do you do?" Don't tell me you're here to visit the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum - you can hear bullets and know Morse code, I don't think you're an ordinary person. ”
Li Zhen looked at her expressionlessly, and said to himself: "Even if you are tomb robbers, this matter is very strange. Do you really think that there are burial vessels in the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum? Who gave you the news? (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
