Chapter 167: Logic
Last night's attack did not cause us much damage, the supplies were not lost, but a few people were missing, and the original plan was not changed, but the few unconscious people were temporarily left in the camp.
First of all, we were not in a hurry to get here, and I still didn't know the specific purpose, so I lay on the chairs in the camp and waited until the east daylight appeared, and I saw that everyone was ready for the trip.
In the crowd, Sister Er and Tian Yuan changed into close-fitting outdoor clothes, at this time, the figures of the two people were completely revealed, so as not to be regarded as a lewd man, I turned my head to look at the fat man.
"I said, how do I feel that this time is not so easy, I always feel that the mountain is weird." I turned my eyes to the direction where the Yin-Yang Mirror appeared yesterday, and the mountains were stacked on top of each other, and the purple mist was rising.
The fat man snorted coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, what shit are you going to pull when you pout your ass now, I know very well." The fat man glanced up at Sister Ear and Tahara's direction, and threw the backpack to me: "Clean up yourself." ”
I was helpless, knowing that the trick of trying to distract the fat man from it didn't work. I just packed up my equipment, and on the way, I had a little more thought, and threw the heavier canned fuel into the bag of the old generation who had just returned from afar.
It's not like Motuo, it's at the right altitude, it doesn't have the oxygen-deprivation of the plateau, but it's not as filthy as the low altitude. It's late autumn, and the leaves are almost gone, but the grass on the ground is still green.
The original road, we are all along the mountain beam, until the mountain beam turns, this is replaced by Lao Zhuang with a compass to take us away, down the hillside, the grass is full of water, some swamp feeling, which gives me a new understanding of the grassland, if Hulunbuir is also like this, lie in it to get a body of water, then the original yearning I think has ceased to exist.
This kind of road is very painful to walk, Lao Zhuang leads the way in front, and he doesn't seem to have the intention of taking a shortcut. I have also seen it on the electronic map here, there is no network and GPS coverage, and even the satellite map downloaded offline can only be zoomed in to see the ravine.
It was about the afternoon of the same day that we arrived at the mountain pass that entered Yan Wuyan, where a mountain beam was split, and there were obvious signs of collapse on both sides.
The rest of the road was not easy to walk, and we walked all the way on a dangerous road halfway up the mountain, so we had to rest here for a while this night, and try to enter the village before dark tomorrow.
The altitude here is low, but the climate is not kind, the mountain pass is like a ghost crying wolf all night, presumably no one has slept well, and near dawn, there is a scream from behind the mountain pass.
Early in the morning, inside the tent, I heard someone shouting and cursing at the bottom of the mountain pass. When he got out of the tent, he saw that the fat man was also peeing on the cliff, so he became interested and asked him what the sound was.
The mountains and forests here are somewhat similar to the mountains and forests of Zhangjiajie, if there is some light rain, and the fog covers the halfway up the mountain, it must be quite beautiful, but such a scenery makes a sound like a netherworld inside, which is indeed a little weird.
There is a legend that somewhere in Sichuan, there is also a similar landform situation, and in some special circumstances, there will be sounds from the mountains, but those sounds are not in the ears. Sometimes the names of the villages outside the mountains hear the roars and moans of thousands of people, and sometimes they hear the galloping of thousands of horses and the thundering of war drums.
Therefore, this incident has also been put on the screen, and the explanation given is that there are many karst landforms in the mountains, and there are many thunderstorms, and there are ten miles of different days in the mountains, and those rock-like mountains thunder, and the thunder circulates in the caverns formed by the karst landforms, which will produce similar sound effects.
But as we all know, the show is often criticized by the audience for its exaggeration, and its scientific method of verification sometimes does not seem very scientific. In addition to this near-official explanation, there is another version in the local villages.
During the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was a relatively obscure historical era, and an emperor could be changed almost every other year, and in that short period of more than 100 years, there were no less than ten countries recorded, and the situation was chaotic for a while.
It is said that there is an army of 50,000 people who strayed into a certain stone forest in Shu, the stone forest is intricate, the pursuers dare not go in, and they are afraid that they will be counterattacked by the other party after letting go, so the pursuing troops will use fire to attack, and for a time the sky is full of arrows with fire clusters. What the people inside the stone forest saw was a sea of fire in the sky.
In this way, the people inside are certain to die, and the horses and soldiers who were burned to death almost shouted loudly, but if war does not take into account morality, there is no right or wrong, if there are really 50,000 people burned alive in the stone forest, it is only a drop in history.
Later, the world was peaceful, and some people moved in here, and then the villagers found out the strange things, as long as there was a thunderstorm, sometimes even a sunny day, the valley stone forest can hear the sudden explosion of war drums and thunder, soldiers fighting, horses roaring sound. The sound was terrible and unusual, and with it came a thick fog rising from the valley, so that there was nothing in that place that no one would pass by.
Early in the morning, a relatively strong wind blew out from the stone forest terrain area under the mountain pass, and it was a little challenging for the fat man to pee here, but it was just for the sake of face, and he still held on.
"These dead monkeys, screaming day and night, is it not the estrus period now?" At this moment, the other man who was standing on one side of us suddenly shouted and cursed towards the bottom of the valley.
"Can a ghost cry a wolf howl like a monkey?" When I saw him say this, I asked in surprise.
"Hmph, it's not what a monkey can be, I've been to Mount Emei a few times, and once I caught up with those beasts in collective estrus, that's what it was called at the time, this time we don't meet, otherwise we have to kill these beasts."
This big brother has a bad temper, he is a Northeasterner, and he must hate that kind of thing very much. The monkeys of Mount Emei are indeed famous, but the fame lies in the fact that they are wild and difficult to tame, as long as they have been there, they are absolutely inevitably harassed and attacked by those things.
"Haha, Sun Dasheng met Zhu Bajie, I said fatty, you have to be mentally prepared this time." After a while listening to the sound from the valley, which was indeed similar to that of the monkeys, the fat man lifted his trousers, just as he had a place to amuse him, and did not shut his mouth.
The fat man deceived a look, but he didn't say it, but he must have scolded his mother in his heart. Seeing that I was not talking much, he ignored me. This is the tuyere, it is not easy to light the fire, and the autumn is dry, and the wind may cause a large area to overshoot, so we can only eat some road meals to fill our stomachs.
This road is really not for people to walk, although the Shu Road is difficult to walk, but some of the people who are alive I have been there personally, but those mountain roads are used to cross soldiers and horses, at least they can accommodate a horse to go alone, no matter how bad it is, it is okay to squeeze it. It's just that here, no one has walked for a long time, some places are only the length of a toe, and they can barely be helped to pass, and some places have no roads, which requires people in front of them to open the way. They were extreme sports experts, and they were equipped with a hand drill that used a battery to drill pitons into the cliffs, and then set up an improvised rope bridge so that we could pass through it with great difficulty.
There is indeed very little information about this thousand-year-old village in Yan Wuyi, and the "shadow" is a very systematic operation in the initial investigation, they will investigate the chronicles of provinces, cities, counties and districts layer by layer, and if they have enough time, they will also do a lot of basic research on humanities.
But in these county records of this county is not enough, so and several counties in neighboring Gansu have done a more systematic investigation, now it is better, basically after 2000 can be found on the website of the relevant county and district, but there are some earlier, those documents are scattered and unsystematic, so you can only go to the local archives bureau for systematic inquiry.
This procedure is not ordinary, even some unimportant records are difficult to see, and it is not a matter of one pack of cigarettes or two packs of cigarettes.
When we were still in the Gobi, these things were already going on, and each team of the "shadow" had a person in charge of the relevant work, and they may have done just that, but they played a crucial role in many important tasks.
If you want to find a thing, you don't need to directly find a certain piece of a certain point, because these contents are sometimes not, so the fragmented integration of information is a very difficult job. These tasks are complex and require a large amount of knowledge. In this way, the focus can be inferred from the visions that occur on certain sides, or the events that are unilaterally unfocused.
Along the way, I only had some interest in the unknown organization of "Shadow", and I guessed that it was not realistic after all, so with the help of some information about Fat Man, I already had some understanding of "Shadow".
The word "shadow" doesn't really sound sharp, and as a code name for some collective organization, it seems very bluffing and mysterious to reproduce today.
The "shadow" is invisible and shadowless, you can't see it or touch it, but it follows you all the time. But sometimes, the literal meaning is not the same as what the promoter had in mind. The word "shadow" is actually a name, similar to some personalized enterprises abroad. For example, some companies in Germany and Russia will directly use some noun verbs as their company names.
The internal organizational structure of the "shadow" is not clear to the fat man, and no one here may be clear either. Saying that it is a secret department, in fact, it is more appropriate for an independent secret service company, and to put it bluntly, it uses the management logic of a foreign hired security company.
None of the people here come for the "shadows" themselves, and most or even all of them do these jobs for unusually good salaries.
