Chapter 20: Distress
At noon, the three of them came to a small town, where the area is a gathering area of ethnic minorities, the fat man opened the mobile phone map positioning, and found that the three of them almost reached the border, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the environment is pleasant, there are many streams around, and the map also shows that there is a tourist area about ten kilometers away.
Parking the car at a small hotel nearby, the three of them hurriedly filled their stomachs, carried their bags, pretended to be ordinary tourists, and followed the instructions of the compass to follow the direction of the stream and went into the mountains. The mountain road is difficult to walk, about four or five kilometers have been walked, and the red sun has already stained half of the country.
The three of them sat on the ground to rest, the fat man looked at the endless mountains and forests in the distance, his heart was a little hairy, he rubbed his legs, and said: "Alas, you said that this guy, what are you doing in the mountains if you have nothing to do, it is better to simply cross the border, so that we will not be able to reach it?" ”
The monkey wiped the sweat from his face and said: "In the deep mountains and old forests, there are a lot of ghosts and ghosts hidden, I guess the purpose of the black bear to come here is nothing more than to have a pure heart and few desires for hundreds of years, and it must be impossible to hold back, and come here to date with a good friend." ”
Shi Yijian saw that the sun was about to go down, he stared at the compass and said to the two: "We should not be far from the goal, the black bear must not know which pit and tree hole to hide in now, but unfortunately the compass can only point out a general direction, it is estimated that the sky is full of stars when he finds him, plus he is a ghost general, fighting with him at night, it is not good for us and it, we still find a place to set up camp first, get up early tomorrow to take this bear to the end, complete the task, and then come to a self-driving trip to see the great country of the motherland." ”
When the two men heard this, they immediately agreed with both hands, and set up camp on a rock in a nearby stream. The three of them set up a fire, took out dry food, and while enjoying the coolness of the stream by the stream, they gnawed on the food, and each held a cigarette in their hands and swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog.
Guangxi in June has a subtropical climate, with high temperatures, rainy and humid. At night, the mosquitoes in the mountains and forests were extremely active, and they were bitten all over the body by the cold, and the three of them had no desire to sleep. Shi Yijian lit mosquito coils around him, the monkey rekindled the fire, and the three of them sat by the stream while smoking cigarettes, chatting without saying a word.
The fat man said: "I used to think that in the summer, there were many people and cars in the city, and the air was turbid, and it must be hotter than the deep mountains and old forests. ”
The monkey slapped the leg, and the palm of his hand immediately splashed with blood, he wiped it on the ground and wiped off the mosquito: "What are you afraid of, this is a holy place for weight loss, a heavyweight like you, you should live in the mountains for a few days if you have nothing to do, let the mosquitoes drink blood, which can not only reduce fat and lower blood pressure, but also have a sweat steam, so why not do it." ”
Shi Yijian listened to the two of them start arguing again, extinguished the cigarette butt, looked at the mobile phone with no signal, he stood up and stretched: "Get up early tomorrow, I'll go to bed first, you continue." After saying that, he ignored the two of them and plunged into the tent.
And two miles away from the stream, in the middle of the forest, a bright moon hung high, reflecting on the gently flowing stream, and not far from the stream, four strangely dressed men were squatting beside the fire.
A scarface with a firearm was standing in front of them, and the old man with a white scarf on his head said respectfully: "Report to the Great Elder, the subordinates have seen clearly, there are two of them, it seems that they should be tourists who go up the mountain to play, not the mysterious team you said, do you want to do them?" ”
The old man in the white scarf had not yet spoken, and the man with three short beards beside him, but holding a big umbrella in the dark night when the stars were clear, spoke first: "Hmph, playing in the deep mountains full of poisonous mosquitoes, snakes and insects, I'm afraid it's not ordinary tourists who come, it should be for the old man." ”
"Well, what Lord Worship said is very true." The old man in the white scarf nodded, and then said to Scarface, "You take a few people to tie them up first, and we'll be there later." ”
"Yes." Scarface walked away in response, waved his big hand, and greeted a few people who were on the side of the sentry, and hurriedly returned to the foothold of Shi Yijian and the others.
In the haze, Shi Yijian was awakened by a noisy noise, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a black muzzle facing his head. He realized something instantly, clasped the back of his head with both hands, and stood up tremblingly.
The black-faced man in camouflage uniform on the opposite side saw that Shi Yijian was so cooperative, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he directly waved his gun and motioned him to go outside.
Out of the tent, six or seven large men in camouflage uniforms in the distance, holding guns in one hand and flashlights in the other, shone wantonly into their eyes. Shi Yijian squinted his eyes slightly, turned his head sideways to look at the fat man beside him, and saw that the corners of his eyes were bruised, his hands were on the back of his head, and he was looking at him helplessly.
The black-faced man walked to an emaciated old man in a white scarf with a backpack of Shi Yijian and the fat man, and the old man in the white scarf motioned for him to pour out all his things. I saw that the golden compass, the ghost eye Buddha shrine, the Baqi demon knife and many talismans fell to the ground one by one, and Shi Yijian's eyes were filled with tears, and his heart twitched.
A black-clothed man with a full beard and a cold look in his eyes was holding a black umbrella and slowly walked to the golden compass, picked it up and looked at it carefully for a while, and smiled coldly at the two people in front of him: "Hmph, the golden compass, it's really ghostly, I can't imagine that Old Man Zhao actually called you two miscellaneous pieces of the Shi family to come over and send him to death, it seems that he is really at the end of his rope." ”
When Shi Yijian heard this, he knew that the one in front of him was the black bear guarding the Ghost Gate. He was slightly shocked in his heart, adjusted his breathing, and said without humility or arrogance: "We are entrusted by Mr. Zhao Qian, and I want to ask you to go back with us, and Mr. Zhao Qian said that he will keep you safe and sound." ”
Before the black bear could speak, a middle-aged man with a flower scarf on his head stepped forward and said, "Worship the Lord and the Great Elder, if you don't kill them directly, it will be a scourge to keep them." ”
The old man in the white scarf replied: "Well, just do what you want." ”
The man with the scarf answered, pulled out his pistol, and prepared to give the frightened two people a taste of bullets. However, the black bear behind him shouted unhurriedly: "Slow! ”
The old man in the white scarf was puzzled, looked at him and said, "Lord Worship, what do you mean, did you just let them go?" ”
The black bear smiled: "The Great Elder doesn't know, according to legend, this Shi family is born with yin and yang eyes, and their two eyes are both high-quality psychic things, if their eyes are gouged out and sacrificed, this is a good thing with half the effort." ”
When the great elder heard this, he laughed: "It's better to worship the wisdom of the lord, tomorrow night is the fifteenth night, and when the son is ready, they will be disemboweled, gouged out and sacrificed, and after the matter is completed, the old man will definitely tell the general to ask for merit for you." ”
After that, the old man in the white scarf waved his hand and shouted to several big men wearing camouflage uniforms around him: "You tied up these two people, and also, put their things in their shoes for me, these are all good things, if anyone dares to swallow them privately, I will abolish him." ”
The two big men standing behind Shi Yijian and the fat man got the order, kicked their feet at the same time, and kicked them at the knee joints, Shi Yijian pounced on the and fell to the ground, while the fat man just stumbled and stood tall. The scarred face behind the fat man saw that he didn't kick the person down, he was annoyed and angry, raised the gun and smashed the back of the fat man's head, the fat man snorted, his body was weak, and he fell to the ground with a bang, and he had passed out.
When the fat man woke up, it was already the moon and stars, and it was obviously the second half of the night. The two were tied to a big tree and couldn't move, Shi Yijian saw him wake up, and his heart that had been hanging for a long time finally let go, and asked, "How is it, it's okay?" ”
The fat man struggled hard, and sighed helplessly at Shi Yijian: "Alas, it's really unfavorable, I didn't expect that I would go back again not long after I got out of the ghost gate, and I knew that I should study like a monkey and buy insurance to suppress the shock." ”
Shi Yijian listened to the fat man's breezy tone, and was really ashamed: "Alas, I didn't think it through and took you on the hook." ”
The fat man comforted: "Eh, uncle, you are, Mr. Feng Shui said that I have been unlucky recently, and I must read the yellow calendar when I go out. ”
Shi Yijian was amused by the fat man, and smiled: "Okay, let's not worry about taking responsibility first, what about monkeys?" ”
"Not long after you fell asleep, the monkey said that he wanted to find a place to empty his stomach, and not long after he left, the gang arrived, and I just wanted to stand up and ask for an understanding, so I received a few punches and kicks, and you know what happened later." As he spoke, the fat man asked, "These guys are so murderous, what is the origin?" ”
Shi Yijian shook his head: "I don't know either." What we have to do now is to get out of here first, and I guess the monkeys are cats nearby, ready to pick us up. ”
"Alas, I think it's vain, people here are strong and strong, heavily guarded, and there are so many automatic rifles in their hands, why do monkeys fight with others, besides, we are so tied that it is difficult to even move our bodies, how can we get out?"
When Shi Yijian was pushed all the way to come here just now, his pair of eyes that saw night as day once noticed that there were more than 20 people guarding the surrounding area. If you take advantage of the night to rush to the stream not far away, and then jump into the stream and go down the water, it is estimated that there is still a glimmer of life.
Ten meters away, there were two people guarding them, it was the black-faced man and Scarface who attacked them. Judging from the attitude of the two towards the captives, compared with Scarface, Shi Yijian analyzed that the black-faced man would be easier to speak. It is the second half of the night, and the biological clock becomes extremely sleepy.
So, Shi Yijian analyzed the current situation and told the fat man his thoughts. Now is the right time, when the black-faced man came to patrol the sentry, the fat man pretended to have a stomachache to attract the attention of the black-faced man, and Shi Yijian suddenly attacked from behind, took down the black-faced man in one fell swoop, and then took action to solve the sleeping Scarface, and finally took advantage of the night to jump into the stream.
