Chapter 188: Hospitality (2-in-1)
"Let's walk together."
Jiang Cang smiled and threw away the bag of dry food in his hand.
Xiao Zheng took it with a dry smile, threw it on his back, followed Jiang Cang and Lao Yao, and then walked towards the mountain.
For a while, accompanied by the 'squeak' of insects, the occasional small animal ran by, and the birds fell or rose and flew in the setting sun.
Walk half a mile deep into the mountains and forests.
The trees were so lush that they obscured the last evening light overhead, and the forest was a little dark.
At this time, around seven o'clock, it was basically night.
But in this forest, there are wolves, tigers and leopards, and many blood-sucking insects, and whether the person sleeps or not is dangerous.
It's just that.
Jiang Cang and the three of them continued to walk, not thinking about staying in the village.
Because in strange places, in fact, sometimes people are more terrible than these beasts in the mountains and forests.
Not to mention this big border land, I and others are not good people, but black households, so this heart of defense is indispensable, everything is on the top, and it is clean.
It's also time-saving and getting on the road early.
Anyway, the three of them run cars and roads every day, and they have long been reversed day and night.
And Jiang Cang walked, waited for two miles to walk, and looked towards the nearby 'Night Forest', if he didn't have consciousness, night vision, and extraordinary memory, relying on the sun that didn't know where it set, he really couldn't tell the way, and it was not good to go back.
But relatively speaking, if someone wants to chase themselves and don't have a large-scale search, it is also difficult to find.
It is no wonder that many people get lost in the woods when they come to the mountains and forests without markings.
Just looking at the tree scenery along the way, dazzling people, it's a trouble.
In addition, as soon as the sun sets, I can't tell if there are any other beasts walking, which is afraid of anxiety, which will affect my own judgment, and finally run more and more deviated, not knowing where I have run.
"There are wild wolves in this mountain forest..."
Lao Yao is dialing his broken compass, reflecting the faint moonlight, when he glanced at the surrounding night forest scene, as if he knew the road here, and pointed in a direction,
"Head southwest. Let's hurry in the dark, while there are not many clouds tonight and the moon is quite bright, we will not use flashlights, so as not to attract any more jackals, tigers and leopards, and the night will be lively. ”
When Lao Yao finished speaking, he walked towards the southwest, there was a moon shining, and occasionally the leaves were empty and the moonlight was down, and it could also reflect some scenes.
Especially not to mention, in the mountains and forests of this wilderness, Lao Yao's novel compass is still somewhat useful, and it can be divided into southeast, northwest, and northwest.
It's just that Xiao Zheng listened, and he didn't know if he was a tall man who was afraid of the Silent Forest, or if he deliberately joked with Lao Yao, but he talked a lot, and retorted: "Lao Yao, didn't you say that you don't know the place?" How do you know which way to go now? Didn't you keep another hand.."
"Are you scared silly?" Lao Yao held the palm of the compass and leaned forward, recognizing the direction, and tilted his head slightly and said: "When we are in the stockade, look this way, the place is on the west mountain, and the mountain tomb is in that place." And we first went around the mountains, and walked two and a half miles to the northwest, and now we go to the place, isn't it just to find the road to the southwest? ”
"There's a doorway!" Xiao Zheng seemed to praise, "I walked for a long time, and I really didn't remember the direction, I didn't remember how many roads I walked." You are knowledgeable in this line of work, and you can also use a meter to walk like a taxi, and you can count how many kilometers you walk. ”
"It's called measuring the road." Lao Yao shook his head, "But when we really can't find the mountain, we can also climb the tree to take a look." When I looked at it, I remembered what the mountain looked like. ”
When Lao Yao said this, he said in a serious tone: "Also, our line of work is the way to come out by foot." It's a way to measure, one way to say, you just follow my door. It's not your billing device, don't give me nonsense every day, I feel like I have to charge Brother Jiang more. ”
"That's not what I meant.." Xiao Zheng saw Lao Yao's somewhat serious face, and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm a little nervous.. Seeing that the two brothers don't speak, I'm a little scared."
"Afraid I'll kill you?" Lao Yao grinned, this moonlight was shining, and he really looked like a ghost.
But Xiao Zheng didn't feel anything, but thought that he was about to go to the grave, panic and pressure in his heart became bigger and bigger, and looked at Jiang Cangdao next to him as if he was coming for sightseeing.
"Brother Jiang, when we get to the place, should we take a look around the neighborhood first, or let's go directly to the tomb."
"How many times have you asked this?" Jiang Cang walked and listened to the whispering of insects around him, "You took me for a ride, we are friends." I'll say something to the sky, the village outside is alive, and it's still holding on to it, and if you're there, I can't control it. But now you are following me to the tomb, maybe the tomb is safer, and the ghosts and gods will not be able to accept you. ”
"Brother Jiang.." Xiao Zheng lifted his backpack, thinking of Jiang Cang's inhuman-like skills, he nodded without hesitation, "I really believe what you say!" ”
"Don't talk about it if you believe it." Jiang Cang pointed to his bag of dry food, "If you're hungry and want to talk, just eat something and cushion it, and you won't panic." ”
"yes.. My hometown often says that if you have food at home, you don't panic." Xiao Zheng seemed to be crying, and replied with a smile, almost saying that he missed his mother at home.
But he was still very obedient as soon as the tie rope was loosened, his hand was wrapped around the edge of the bag, and a few pieces of jerky were introduced, which Lao Yao Jiangcang had.
This right as an after-dinner snack.
Jiang Cang took it, chewing, the entrance was strong, the five-spiced beef jerky, a piece of two or two, eating in small bites, the night wind in the forest was blowing, I could chew for a while, there was a little taste in my mouth, and I wanted to enjoy it than smoking.
While Lao Yao was eating jerky, he saw Xiao Zheng's half-dead appearance, but he joked with a smile, as if enlightened and relaxed: "Fortunately, I didn't tell you the exact location of the tomb at the beginning, otherwise you have this mouth, when you were eating in the cottage just now, it is estimated that people will hold it, and you will say what pants you wore when you were a child." ”
"I know what's going on." Xiao Zheng heard Lao Yao teasing him, but nodded calmly, and didn't care that Lao Yao had hidden the specific location of the mountain tomb from him before.
Because at the beginning, I also said that I was only responsible for driving, and I didn't say anything about going to the grave.
That old Yao didn't have to give it all to himself, but it was right to hide it.
After all, as soon as Brother Jiang and Lao Yao leave, if he stays alone in the village again, it is difficult to guarantee that the owner of Fan Zhai will not covet the treasure and torture himself to extract a confession.
Then he can't stand the pain of flesh and skin, maybe he can really speak, and finally lead Fan Zhai and them over, causing trouble.
But now, there are no signal signs along the way, and there is a rush at night, Lao Yao can play with this hand, and he planned it on the way here, reversing the time day and night, just for today's 'night walk', and the tail was thrown off by the tail.
I have to say that.
Xiao Zheng felt that Jiang Lao was still spicy, and Lao Yao had calculated himself.
"How far is it.." Xiao Zheng saw this, and asked while waiting, wondering where the mountain tomb was, a bit of a feeling of early death and early superbirth.
"Twenty or thirty miles." Lao Yao paused for a moment and measured his steps, "Let's go faster, we can get to the place at four or five o'clock in the morning before dawn." When the time comes, set up a tent, find a good place to hide at the foot of the mountain, rest and rest, and go to the grave at noon. ”
"What if I don't have a good place?" Xiao Zheng subconsciously asked, "Let's..."
"Sleeping in the grave." After Jiang Cang finished eating a piece of dried meat, he took out a sketched map from his arms, which Lao Yao gave to him.
Several mountains are drawn on it, just like a sketch landscape, but also like hand-drawn data, one of which is clearly depicted, there is a recessed rock pit in the lower right corner of the foot of the mountain, according to the data in the picture, about ten meters from the ground, can sleep people.
And it is also reflected in the night, see this scene.
Xiao Zheng suddenly understood that the feeling was that Lao Yao had been here before, and he had long been familiar with this road and this mountain, otherwise he would not know the leopard who sold his own and other people's firearms.
However, the owner of Fan Zhai doesn't seem to know Lao Yao?
Xiao Zheng thought about it, and felt that if Lao Yao had been here, he would have come into contact with this snake near the mountain tomb.
'Could it be that Lao Yao originally bypassed the master of Fan Zhai and went directly into the mountain? Xiao Zheng thought about it, but he didn't understand.
And Lao Yao spoke openly, leaving no half.
When he saw Xiao Zheng guessing at this time, he also made a full debut: "I went to Leopard with Liangzi five years ago and talked about business with a boss. It's just that I saw that the leopard was also close to the mountain tomb, so I spent some money and hired someone to come here to explore the terrain and draw a map. In the end, I worked with Ryoko again and knew that the 'mountain tomb' was on this mountain. ”
Lao Yao pointed to the high mountain in Jiang Cang's drawing paper, said, and shook his head again, "But it's also this business, Liangzi and I have an uneven share of money, and we broke up, so we went our own way." I took the money, he took the jade .."
When Lao Yao said this, he sighed, "When he left, he still said angry words, saying that this mountain tomb treasure would be sold for a good price, which made me regret it." But I think there are definitely a lot of monsters in the tomb, unless it's the upper organization, who will come? But who would have thought that when Brother Jiang and I were looking for Shopkeeper Xue, I really heard that Liangzi had told me about it... Said that they were going to work together to visit the grave.. I don't know if anyone will chase after me now.."
Speaking of this, he touched the compass in his hand and sighed for a long time, as if he sighed that this friend who had experienced life and death could only share hardships and hardships, but could not share wealth and prosperity.
But the important thing is that he lamented that Liangzi was so mouthful, and in the end he didn't make any money, but he lost his life.
And Jiang Cang was originally listening to the story, but when he heard the words 'Liangzi sells news', he opened his mouth and asked: "At that time, the map papyrus, Liangzi also had it?" ”
"Yes.." Lao Yao heard Jiang Cang's question, and came back to his senses, "One for each of us." But I didn't think about the mountain tomb, so I put it in the house where Brother Jiang went. But Ryoko .. He guess he said it.."
"Then it's hilarious." Jiang Cang didn't care, "It is estimated that there are other tails hanging behind us that can't be shaken off." Eighty percent of them are not far away now, and they will meet in the tomb. ”
"Brother Jiang means.." Lao Yao asked rhetorically, paused, turned around and looked at the dark Lin Jing behind him, "Is it possible that as soon as the news of Shopkeeper Xue's death spreads, someone will come to rob us?" ”
"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." Jiang Cang then walked forward, "Shopkeeper Xue was originally engaged in the intelligence business, I don't believe that after he gets the news of Liangzi, he will sell this news to others for free." ”
Jiang Cang said, stacked the map and put it in his pocket, "But if Shopkeeper Xue doesn't throw out any sweetness, people won't give money, they won't believe it, and they won't come to Shopkeeper Xue to talk about things." In this way, Shopkeeper Xue gave the map, and the most important key was held by himself. So since these 'partners' spent money to buy the information of the shopkeeper Xue, and finally found out that the shopkeeper Xue was dead, what would happen? Will you not receive a little profit? In this world, no one is kneading the dough with the people that Shopkeeper Xue can befriend. Definitely will follow. ”
Jiang Cang put his hand on his waist and pressed the handle of the knife, "If I guessed correctly, Liangzi is estimated to be their partner, but he was killed by Shopkeeper Xue in the end." ”
"You mean.." Lao Yao pondered a few words, and suddenly realized: "They found a more sophisticated 'school captain' than Liangzi? Gave Ryoko a hand to cross the river and tear down the bridge? ”
"It's Ryoko who didn't build this bridge. Ability not to be looked at by others. Jiang Cang looked at the night between the leaves, "Perhaps, the new lieutenant has no other skills, far inferior to Liangzi." But this man is only their own people. Okay, rest assured. ”
"How many people will come.." Xiao Zheng listened to the conversation between Jiang Cang and Lao Yao, and heard that there were people following him, and the more he listened, the more panicked he became, "I ran a long distance this time, and I feel that it is not safe anywhere.."
"If you enter this business, there is no safe place." Jiang Cang looked at Xiao Zheng's tangled expression and smiled, "Let's go, it's safest to walk with me." ”
Jiang Cang's words fell, and he continued.
Lao Yao and Xiao Zheng saw each other, thinking that there would be someone coming later, so they also subconsciously touched the gun on their waist and continued to follow.
And all the way through.
Except for the occasional chirping of insects and the roar of wild beasts in the distance, the forest is relatively calm.
But Jiang Cang walked on the road, his consciousness was released, and after walking on the six-mile road, he suddenly noticed that three hundred meters behind him, there were one, two, and more and more wild wolves were gathering.
Look closely.
Jiang Cang saw that they were like hunters, sniffing his nose, so he stepped on the fallen leaves softly, and followed from a distance, so patient that it was a little incredible, as if waiting for the same kind to converge and then break out another round of offensive.
"I said.." But Lao Yao and the two had no sense, and they were still chatting in a low voice, not knowing that they were followed by a group of wild wolves.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have chatted so comfortably, but took advantage of the fact that they were still some distance from the wild wolf, and just spread their steps and ran!
It's just that.
When there were still three miles left in the journey, we were out of this forest.
When Lao Yao Zheng and Xiao Zheng were saying this, they were also suddenly surprised, and heard a 'rustling' sound nearby.
Looking behind me again, the leaves shone in the nightlight.
Lao Yao saw that in the dark forest thirty meters away, he didn't know when there were more green eyes, and he was getting closer to him little by little.
"It's a wolf?!" When he saw this scene, his scalp was numb, and his body stiffened when he walked.
Because he often visits graves in the wild, he knows that he is not afraid of encountering black bears and beasts in the woods, but he is afraid of encountering packs of wild wolves!
After all, the wolf is the kind of cunning beast whose patience is amazing, who can follow and follow all the way, persevere, and is bound to hunt down its prey.
Who is this, even Lao Yao, who often deals with dead people, has a gun in his hand, he is also afraid in his heart, he is afraid that when the gun goes off, it will shoot blood, and it will stimulate the beastly nature of these wild wolves.
It can be said that if a person encounters a wolf pack in the forest, eighty percent of them will be planted.
"I'll it.." When Xiao Zheng saw his eyes floating like ghost fire in the dark night, he was also frightened into a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to move.
Not far from 'Shasha', the wild wolf saw that the prey did not move, and his pace suddenly slowed down, howling lowly, wanting to disperse and slowly surround him.
And Jiang Cang saw that the wild wolves were gradually surrounding, and after Lao Yao and the others were about to touch the guns, they stretched out their hands and said,
"Save some bullets, for the monsters in the tomb you said you don't know how many. And these wolves, I fought alone, killed them, and left them to the people who followed. Maybe they were in too much of a hurry, and they didn't have enough water and meat for us, so they let them make dry food. ”
Jiang Cang smiled, 'sonorous' out of the knife, a cold knife light flashed in the night, and in the eyes of Lao Yao and the others in a daze, they rushed straight towards the wolves not far away!
Suddenly.
Lao Yao and the others saw Jiang Cang's knife light passing by, like the wind and the sand, the fallen leaves around them flew and fell, and the corpses of more than ten wild wolves separated silently, and fell to the ground with a 'snap', and blood splashed in the forest.
Just two breaths in between.
As Lao Yao heard, the roaring had stopped, and there were no wild beasts whimpering, only insects whispering in the forest.
And Jiang Cang stood among the corpses of the wolves, flicked the short knife, a few drops of blood scattered, and pulled half of the knife into the sheath with his backhand, before he said to the two people who were stunned nearby,
"Thirty-four wolves, the dry food left for the friends behind may be all together. Let's go ahead. ”
