Chapter 5: Tiger Ridge
I'm too lazy to yell, my body is 600ml of blood shortage, but I don't have so much energy.
"Where do you go next, go straight to Lao Ou Ling?" Jin Biguio asked.
"Go to my house first." I reset the navigation.
Destination: Bangmao Town, Baihe Village.
"Mallet Town? Does your town look like a mallet? Jin Biyao glanced at the navigation and asked with a smile.
The mallet is a wooden stick used to beat clothes when women in Northeast China wash clothes, but in the Changbai Mountain area, "mallet" has other meanings.
"Bang mallet, that is the meaning of ginseng," I explained, "our Erdaohe City is at the foot of Changbai Mountain, here is the land of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's Longxing, the Qing Dynasty before several emperors, all of the Changbai Mountain as a forbidden land, do not allow the people to go into the mountain to dig ginseng, if caught, there will be the risk of killing the head, and even will exterminate the clan, back then, in order to avoid the government's investigation, the ginseng is called 'stick mallet', in order to avoid the risk." ”
"Is it a 'black talk'?"
I nodded, it should be, bandits were once prevalent in the Northeast, and there were a lot of "black words" that have been handed down.
It was past noon, passing through a large supermarket, Jin Baguio and I went in, and had a full meal first—I ordered ten eggs separately to make up for it, and startled the waiter—and after the meal, I went into the supermarket to buy the following things: a folding tent, two sleeping bags, a small portable stove, a small pot for boiling water, compressed biscuits, and two large backpacks for the above things.
The reason why I bought these items is because Laoyuling is located in the hinterland of Shangbai Mountain, which is not open to traffic, so you can only walk, and if everything goes well, you have to walk for six or seven hours.
"I'm going to have to spend the night in the mountains tonight." I explained to Jin Baguio the reason for buying so many things.
"Camping wow! That's nice! Jin Baguio was a little excited, I smiled bitterly, this season's deep mountains and old forests are really not a good place for camping, not to mention anything else, it is early spring, those animals that have been hibernating for several months have just woken up, looking for food everywhere, and the mountains are full of dangers.
So, after leaving the supermarket, I asked passers-by about nearby outdoor stores, and drove over with Jin Biguio to buy some weapons for self-defense.
Buying knives requires real-name registration, Jin Baguio and I don't have ID cards yet, the boss refuses to sell us, Jin Biguio has to use 200 yuan to "bribe" the boss, we bought two outdoor straight knives, about 30 centimeters long, used to deal with medium-sized animals, should be enough.
Jin Biguio was afraid of being tracked down by her parents, and after leaving her grandfather's house, she turned off her mobile phone, but fortunately, she brought a lot of cash, didn't have to worry about money, bought a knife, and listened to me "understate" after telling about the environment in the primeval forest, Jin Biguio was not so excited and longing, bought two binoculars, and added a set of jackets for the two of us, as well as hiking shoes, although she is 165 tall, but her feet are very small, only 34 yards, the smallest hiking shoes in the store are 36 yards, Baguio had to wear two more pairs of thick socks, Anyway, this season, you won't feel hot when you wear it no matter how much you wear.
After buying all the equipment, I continued to set off, and soon returned to Bangmao Town, entered Baihe Village, and when I was about to arrive at my house, I suddenly saw that on the side of the road in front of my house, there were two black cars of Liao M!
"Oh no, your dad is chasing after you!" I hurriedly shouted, Liao M is the license plate number of the iron collar!
"Huh? So what to do? ”
"Turn right at the fork in the road and go straight into the mountain." I decisively said that the only reason why I went home was that I could only find Lao Yuling from Baihe Village, and my grandfather took me twice on this road when I was a child, and if I entered the mountain from other directions, I should have lost my way.
Jin Baguio drove to the right, and I clearly saw that there was a man in sunglasses next to the black car, with a big bald head, he glanced coldly at us, but it was dozens of meters away, and Lily's car was covered with a dark film, he shouldn't have seen the people in the car clearly, and turned his head again.
After entering the narrow fork in the road, Jin Baguio throttle, driving fast, there are water creeks and ravines on both sides, it is too dangerous, I asked her to drive slowly, she held the steering wheel tightly, and said to me: "We have been discovered." ”
"Why?" I asked, puzzled.
"The one wearing sunglasses just now is my father's personal bodyguard, nicknamed 'Condor', that person is a ghost, and our car has an iron-collar license plate, and the vulture will definitely think that it is the two of us - how far into the mountain is ahead?"
"Seven or eight kilometers!"
"I wish he was slower!"
"Hey—be careful, there's a car ahead!" I shouted, a small white car coming from the front, the village road here is too narrow, only more than three meters wide, when the car meets, the right wheels on both sides have to press the skirts of the gravel road on both sides to pass.
No matter how good Jin Baguio's skills are, in the face of the deep white river on the right, she didn't dare to be careless, stepped on the brakes to reduce the speed, the double roof was close, and after seeing the license plate clearly, my eyes lit up: "Baguio, stop!" ”
"What's wrong?"
"It's my cousin-in-law! I'll keep him stuck in the road to prevent your dad's bodyguards from catching up! "I said excitedly, my cousin-in-law is a small owner of a car repair shop in the town, and if he can repair cars, he can naturally let the car break down on the road.
Jin Biguio flashed twice, pulled over, and I got out of the passenger seat and stopped my cousin-in-law's car.
"Huh? Yifan, didn't you go to Tieling? How did you come back again? My cousin asked with a smile, some time ago, I was found by my "biological parents", which is also a big news in the local area, and everyone knows about it.
"Who is this? Is that your sister? My cousin asked again, and when I looked back, Jin Biguio had also gotten out of the car and was looking back anxiously.
"Old brother-in-law, it's too late to explain, there are bad guys chasing us behind, can you put your car sideways on the road and help me block them? It doesn't take long, just five minutes! ”
Seeing that my expression was serious, and I wasn't joking, the old brother-in-law immediately agreed: "Okay...... No, it's a dead end ahead! ”
There is only a small tunzi in front, and then there is Changbai Mountain, there is no other passage, and it is indeed a dead end.
"We have to go into the mountains, and someone in the mountains will save us!" I said casually.
The old brother-in-law watched me grow up since I was a child, knew me well, knew that I was more stable and reliable, so he didn't ask more, let me and Jin Baguio get in the car, and drove over, in the rearview mirror, the old brother-in-law parked his car diagonally on the road, completely blocked the narrow path, and then opened the engine compartment, and used a wrench to drum something, it should be to make the car paralyzed in place, and it can't be easily pushed away.
Continue to move forward, after passing through the "backing mountain" of only a few households, there is no cement road in front, on the dirt road, and walk out of about a kilometer, the road ahead is getting more and more rugged, Jin Baguio drove fast again, finally, bang, the right front wheel pressed the sharp stones, and the tire burst.
"That's right, get out of the car." I said that it wasn't far from the foot of the mountain anyway, so the two got out of the car, put on their gear, and hiked through a small area of woodland and began to climb the mountain.
After climbing for about ten minutes, because both of them were weak and sweating profusely, I had to stop and rest, I climbed a high rock, looked down through the canopy of the woodland, and I could just see Lily's little red car, fortunately, the vultures had not chased after them, there were many forks in the mountains in front of me, and they were chaotic, and the forest was dense in all directions, only I knew that I should go from that road, and they should not find us.
After resting for a few minutes, we continued to climb up, and climbed for nearly twenty minutes, and then I climbed again, and looked back with binoculars, and this time I finally found the two black cars, parked next to Lily's little red car, and one of them, a slightly chubby man, was pacing back and forth in a hurry, looking at his posture, it should be Mr. Jin himself.
The distance between the two sides has been stretched to nearly a kilometer, and it is already considered to have thrown them off.
"Did they chase after you?" Jin Baguio asked as she gasped under the stone.
"Not yet." I said lightly, I'm afraid that Jin Biguio will regret it, if she goes back, her father will scold her at most, but if I am caught by Mr. Jin, heh, I kidnapped someone else's daughter, and the end would definitely be miserable!
"Let's keep going, before dark, let's reach 'Tiger Ridge', where there is a cave, and it's safe to spend the night." I say.
"Tiger Ridge?" Jin Biyao was slightly stunned, "Where is it...... Will there be a tiger? ”
"If I say, yes, are you afraid?" I laughed.
Jin Biyao blinked, and her chest straightened: "Hmph! I'm not afraid! ”
"Why?"
"Because I'm also a 'tiger'!"
I pinched my fingers, frowned, and said, "No, you are 18, shouldn't you be a horse?" ”
"Who said it was a phase!" Jin Biguio tidied up the strap of her backpack and sneered at me, "I'm a ...... White Tiger! Do you know what that means? ”
