Chapter 39: Diary (3)

Seeing this in the diary, basically the identity of the owner of the diary is also clear to the world.

Lao Niao is one of the 12 people who followed his grandfather into the forest farm, his purpose is for the "Book of Heaven", and the reason why he came all the way to Ganzhou is because of the 55-year-old "Three Gorges Book of Heaven Stone Carving"

There was a burst of joy, and there was a feeling of unraveling the fog, because I had always been very interested in what my grandfather said about the strange things in the forest farm, and the situation I was in now seemed to coincide with my grandfather's back then, so I hoped to find something about 64 years from this diary.

With this attitude in mind, I continued this long reading program.

Soon in the diary everything was decided.

At that time, the Forestry Bureau recruited 12 people into the mountain, in order to thoroughly find out the secret of Lao Yunling, one is to find the source of the "Book of Heaven", because from the stone bricks brought back by the Dingnan cadres, it can be seen that it is used to build a large building wall, so the scholars agree that there must be a large civilization relics about the use of the "Book of Heaven" in the mountainous areas of southern Gansu.

The second is to investigate the village that mysteriously appeared, but mysteriously disappeared.

In fact, it seems that although it is not said on the surface, the people in Ganzhou still identify the rumors about the "village".

I scratched my head and felt that those people were really crazy, because there could be no such thing in this world.

But once I think about it, I feel that nothing is impossible, and I am now in a cycle of reincarnation, seeing people who are constantly dying, and seeing another self.

Flipping the page, the 12 people who were quickly selected all entered the old Yunling smoothly, they found the "forest farm" built by the previous exploration team, and found some things left behind by the previous exploration team, and at the same time, the owner of this diary also found doubts about "12", because as early as July 64, the exploration team found some clues.

The clue is about "12", of course, the content of which is the owner of the diary, and it is not written in words in the diary, so it seems that only he and the exploration team know about it.

And all the time I saw this, I also remembered why I am so sensitive to the number "12".

That's not just the number of missing exploration teams, not just the number of people recruited by the Forestry Bureau, in fact, my original idea for "12" was in my grandfather's story, I remember my grandfather said it......

"The number of people in the old Yunling Forest Farm has always been no more than 12 people. If someone dies, new members will soon be added. ”

At that time, I just thought that one person in one position would naturally come in one by one, but now that I think about it, it is extremely weird.

So what exactly does the twelve represent?

I pressed my temple and continued to look into the diary, the owner of the diary, like me, was obviously puzzled by this number, at first he thought that this number was a "sacrifice" to the mountain god, but later he rejected this idea, because in this place "people" did not have much reverence for the mountain god.

Speaking of the "people" of this place, that is, the villagers of Lao Yunling mentioned by Grandpa in the story, it is also the village that disappeared in the mountains in 58 years, but when Grandpa and they entered Lao Yunling, this village appeared again.

I was very confused when I saw this, but there was not much mention of this place in the diary, everything seemed to exist in the first place, ordinary and natural.

Then I will skip this topic and return to the idea of the rejected mountain god sacrifice written in my diary, because there is a very treacherous custom in this place to "scold the mountain god"

The hunters in that village were different from ordinary hunters, and when they entered the mountain, in addition to the birds, they would also bring a live rooster and two taels of pig's head meat.

Then find the dry tree at the valley diversion for the mountain god sacrifice, here the diversion refers to the forked road at the foot of the valley, and the dry tree is a tree that grows on the forked road, of course, if it is a stone, it is a dry stone.

In the eyes of the hunters, they occupy the terrain and divide the mountain map, and they can be called mountain gods.

After the sacrifice to the mountain god, they will go to the mountain, and curse while walking, the scolding is very ugly, and the more unpleasant it is, the more the prey that will automatically send them to death will be sent to the door, and those wild boars, pheasants, and rabbits will go out through the forest and die directly on the mountain rocks.

I smiled, and I thought it was a little funny to see such a custom that he wrote in his diary.

Of course, it's not just this, there are even a lot of strange things recorded in this diary, there are some things that scold the gods and scold the immortals, so that it can be seen that in this village that appeared inexplicably, their aborigines really have no faith and no fear of the gods.

In this way, I skipped most of the diary pages one after another, and I also tried to pay attention to the things in the village halfway, but it was strange that in the eyes of the owner of this diary, the reappearance of the village did not seem to attract his attention, and the 12 people who entered Lao Yunling also lived in the village for a long time, and they blended well with the villagers, just like neighbors.

But it was this calmness that made me feel inexplicably afraid, and my scalp couldn't stop tingling.

It's like my grandfather said, "When things go wrong, there must be demons"

Rubbing my eyes, the long reading of the text, coupled with the blur of the flashlight, has made my eyesight a little reduced, halfway through the change of battery, just look at three lines, skip some of the mother-in-law and mother trivia in life, and soon turn to the last page of the diary......

It reads:

12/15/68, heavy snowfall.

"I've found the entrance, and I'll do it today."

Just those twelve words, I frowned, and then looked back at the time of the diary, December 15, '68?

The day......

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly I felt that this time was time, as if someone had mentioned it.

It's probably grandpa, after all, that's the people and things in the mountains of southern Gansu!

So...... So this day?

On December 15th, the memory began to search for keywords, grandpa, forestry, Gannan......

15th? What is the day of paycheck?

Still in 1968......

No, it's not all!

68 years...... In '68, my thoughts suddenly lengthened, and memories began to spin in my mind like a film movie.

Finally I remembered, and I groaned, and my scalp tingled for a while, which ...... Isn't this the day Wang Ming had an accident? That is, the fat man of the forest farm who died in the snow inexplicably.

Could it be that this diary is not the old bird's, but the fat man's?
