In 1227 A.D., Xingqing Mansion, the last moment of the Western Xia Dynasty, the invincible Mongol iron cavalry had besieged this isolated city for several months, and Genghis Khan sat in the big tent with his toes high, inspecting the iron cavalry that followed him across the Eurasian continent...... Suddenly, a young man in white, falling from the sky, holding a sword, pierced the big tent, and attacked Genghis Khan's face, Genghis Khan dodged a sword sideways, and was just about to pull out the knife to fight back, but the young man returned another sword, stabbing Genghis Khan in the chest, the sword was like a wind, Genghis Khan had nowhere to dodge, the sword fell to the ground, and the generals outside the tent rushed into the big tent, and the young man in white jumped and flew out of the big tent and went away...... Looking at Genghis Khan, the overlord of Eurasia, is dying, just when this giant is dying, he, the greatest Khan of the steppe history, has a strong body, and swears to the heavens in the name of immortality: to die, to perish, to extinguish! Thus, the darkest day in the history of the Western Xia Dynasty came......

On the night of the destruction of the city of Xingqingfu, the Mongolian iron cavalry carried out a bloody massacre of the party members in accordance with Genghis Khan's last words, with the heads of the men in different places and the women in the tragic misery*. The young man in white, holding a sword, only cared about killing the enemy, he fought and retreated, retreated into a deep house compound, he didn't know where it was, only saw dead bodies all over the ground, blood flowed like a river, suddenly, he saw two Mongolian soldiers were about to rape a woman, the young man in white rushed up, his sword fell, as a result, the two Mongolian soldiers, the young man asked the woman: "Whose house is this?" ”

The woman did not answer, but took out a burden from behind her and handed it to the young man: "Quick! Get out of here with your baggage! ”

"What's in there?" The boy did not understand what the woman meant.

The woman endured her grief and indignation, and shouted at the young man in white: "This is the hope of our party members, leave here with your baggage, and go as far as possible......

After speaking, the woman hit the pillar and died, the young man in white wiped away his tears, carried his burden, and rushed out of the gate, except for the corpse of the party member outside the door, it was the Mongolian cavalry who had killed the red eye, the young man in white just appeared on the street, he saw a Mongolian cavalry, brandishing a scimitar, rushing towards him, the young man saw this, he did not panic, the horizontal sword stood firm, just waiting for the Mongolian cavalry to attack him, the Mongolian cavalry was getting closer and closer to him, the young man could already see the blood dripping from the scimitar, just the moment the Mongolian cavalry rushed to the young man, the young man dodged sideways, Immediately after a sword light flashed on the street, and then look at the Mongolian cavalry, planted off the horse, a life whine, the young man in white ran a few steps, rose into the air, jumped on the black horse of the Mongolian cavalry, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and rushed straight to the south gate of Xingqing Mansion, in front of the city gate, the Mongols fired arrows in a volley, and the young man in white lay on the horse's back and rushed out of the city gate.

The black horse galloped all the way, grasslands, deserts, Gobi, canyons, forests, the young man didn't know how far he had gone, and he didn't know where this black horse was going to take him, only the sound of the wind was in his ears...... Suddenly, the black horse sat down with a long roar, and his front hooves jumped high, and he stopped moving, and the young man in white was startled and looked fixedly, only to find that a towering snowy mountain in front of him blocked his way! And later, he could already hear the hoofs of the pursuers, where to go? Return to the horse and fight with the pursuers, or jump over the snowy mountains? The pursuers behind are getting closer and closer, and the snow-capped mountains in front are towering into the clouds, which is really a dead land......

"Dead ground! What am I going to do? What to do? After Tang Feng exclaimed, he finally woke up, he found that there were no pursuers around, and there were no snow-capped mountains, it was a group of passengers who were looking at him with surprised eyes.

"Are you alright?" Tang Feng's exclamation also woke up Han Jiang, who was beside him with his eyes closed.

Tang Feng shook his head: "It's nothing, I had a nightmare just now." After speaking, Tang Feng fell on the back of the chair again, he wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, turned his face, and saw the clouds outside the porthole, he finally remembered that he was on a passenger plane flying to Chengdu.

Tang Feng couldn't see the world under the clouds clearly, his mind was full of the strange nightmare just now, who was that young man in white? Genghis Khan was stabbed to death by him? Where did he go? Tang Feng recalled all kinds of bizarre and terrible events that had happened in the past few months, blood curses, and the secrets of the jade interstitial! How did you end up on a plane now? Because—a month ago, Professor Luo deciphered the Xixia characters on the jade interstitial, and the target of his and Han Jiang's trip—the vast area of northwest Sichuan, Gannan, and southeastern Qinghai, found another jade interstitial. And this vast area spans Sichuan, Gansu, Qinghai three provinces, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, complex terrain, changeable climate, deep mountains, canyons, grasslands, snow-capped mountains, all kinds of terrain are distributed, mixed with Han, Tibetan, Qiang, Hui and other more than a dozen ethnic groups, in such a vast area, such a complex environment, looking for a small jade interstitial, the difficulty can be imagined! And the only clue they have now is the "black-headed stone chamber" that Professor Luo deduced based on Locke's brief account.

In the past month, Tang Feng has received overload training, getting up at six o'clock every morning, running five kilometers with Zhao Yong's weight, having breakfast, and a lot of various physical exercises, according to Han Jiang, he wants to train Tang Feng as a special soldier, and then Han Jiang taught Tang Feng all kinds of firearms principles, and after lunch, it was live shooting, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Yong taught him to survive in the wild, including how to survive in the absence of food and medicine in the wild, and the most unbearable thing for Tang Feng was to eat raw game in the wild, This taste of wild meat, Tang Feng really didn't dare to try it, Zhao Yong once forced Tang Feng to eat a snake raw, it was this snake, which made Tang Feng vomit all day, Zhao Yong had to reluctantly give up the plan to train Tang Feng to become a marine frogman.

That's not all, at night, Tang Feng still has to follow Professor Luo to learn Western Xia Chinese, in the face of this kind of writing that has disappeared for 700 years, Tang Feng's original thought that the little language talent is useless, a month of high-intensity, cramming teaching, Tang Feng has only mastered some commonly used vocabulary. After a month of high-intensity training, Tang Feng and Han Jiang boarded a flight from Beijing to Chengdu together.

Before boarding the plane, Tang Feng asked Han Jiang puzzledly: "Why is it just the two of us this time, such a large area, when we can find it, we can mobilize a large army to find the jade interstitial?" Why should we take a civil airliner, use the aircraft of the military, isn't it safer and faster? ”

Han Jiang shook his head and sighed: "You kid is not in this business after all, you don't owe fire, think about it, judging from our actions some time ago, our opponent's strength is extraordinary, and most of our actions can't escape their eyes, so the two of us are like ordinary tourists going there, it is the best way to find the jade interstitial, the more ordinary the better, and the smaller the movement, the safer we are." Besides, it's not certain whether there is this jade interstitial screen or not, it's just Professor Luo's speculation that the superiors will not approve the mobilization of more people. ”

"So we didn't bring anything except some outdoor travel equipment this time, so I practiced guns for a long time, and I was not allowed to bring guns out this time."

Han Jiang glanced at Tang Feng and said with a smile: "Not only did you not bring it, but I also didn't bring a gun." ”

"What? You didn't have a gun! Tang Feng was stunned, "Then what should we do if we encounter bandits?" ”

"Tang Feng, you must know that a really good agent does not need to bring any weapons, and when a weapon is needed, anything can be my weapon, even a fruit knife. You can also use enemy weapons, so when our agents are trained, they will have to use not only the guns we are equipped with, but also the firearms of all countries. ”

"No wonder you and Zhao Yong are both knowledgeable about all kinds of firearms."

"Actually, you don't have to be so nervous about this operation, after all, we are in China, I think the gang of bandits is not too arrogant, besides, we can get the support of the local public security organs and state security organs at any time, including weapons, so this time we will go there like outdoor travel enthusiasts and relax."

"Let's hope so, if only it was a really enjoyable trip!"

Tang Feng stared at the clouds outside the porthole for a long time, then suddenly turned his face and complained in a low voice: "It's really not a good time to travel, go to a high-altitude area in October." ”

Han Jiang opened his eyes and whispered: "Yes, it's true that it's not the best season to travel, but fortunately, it's not winter yet, so we have to finish the ...... before winter comes."

Han Jiang didn't finish speaking, but there was no sound, Tang Feng looked at Han Jiang in surprise, only to see Han Jiang staring intently at the row of seats in front of him on the left, "What's wrong?" Tang Feng asked curiously.

Han Jiang looked at the row of seats in front of the left, slightly pursed his lips, and whispered, "Look, the two people in front." ”

Tang Feng looked at the row of seats in front of him, there were two foreigners, an old man with gray hair, looking at his age, he was also in his sixties, maybe he should be seventy, but his waist was straight and his spirit was strong. The other was a woman with short brown hair, who was about thirty years old, with a graceful demeanor, and was concentrating on reading a magazine, "What, you have a crush on that beauty?" Tang Feng asked half-jokingly.

"I'll tell you seriously, I don't think those two foreigners are like ordinary people?"

"What's so special? Why don't you just travel to China? ”

"Like you said, it's not a good season to visit."

"Maybe people don't go to places with high altitudes like us, just go around near Chengdu, what Qingcheng Mountain, Leshan Giant Buddha!"

"Anyway, I don't think these two are simple, you have to trust my instincts."

Han Jiang and Tang Feng muttered quietly, as if alarming the foreign beauty in the front row, the beauty turned her head and glanced at Han Jiang expressionlessly, for some reason, as soon as Han Jiang saw the gaze of the beauty, he nervously withdrew his gaze, he didn't know why he was doing this, the eagle-like confident eyes have always been what he is proud of, but today he ...... Han Jiang twisted his head away, and suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in his eyes, "Liang Yuan?!" Han Jiang exclaimed in surprise.

Han Jiang's shout startled Tang Feng, Tang Feng jumped up and looked along Han Jiang's line of sight, sure enough, Liang Yuan came from the other side of the corridor, Tang Feng couldn't believe his eyes, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, that's right! It was Liang Yuan, at this time, Liang Yuan, dressed as a traveler and carrying a big green backpack, had already walked in front of Tang Feng and Han Jiang, and before Tang Feng and Han Jiang could speak, Liang Yuan smiled at Tang Feng first: "How is it?" Tang Feng, I said that no one in this world can stop Miss Ben. ”

"You...... How did you get up? Tang Feng stammered and asked.

"That's how I came up!" Liang Yuan said innocently.

Tang Feng and Han Jiang looked at each other, facing a girl like Liang Yuan, they were helpless, Han Jiang looked at Liang Yuan's backpack and asked, "What is it in here?" ”

"It's all necessary equipment, and there's one more important thing." Liang Yuan replied.

"Something important?"

"Jade Interstitial!" Liang Yuan lowered her voice and whispered.

"What? How do you ...... jade" Tang Feng shouted in shock, but fortunately Han Jiang covered his mouth, so he didn't shout.

"How can you bring the jade interstitial!" Tang Feng lowered his voice and questioned Liang Yuan.

"Hmph, the jade insert was bought by my grandfather, I'm willing to take it, you can't care about it." Liang Yuan replied to Tang Feng confidently.

Tang Feng shook his head helplessly and said, "The jade interstitial screen belongs to your family, but now it doesn't just belong to your family, because it wants to play a bigger role, and its real value is more than sixty million." ”

"That's it! Come on! Just kidding you, look at you nervous, I brought the jade interstitial, but it's not that I'm good at asserting, I'm not so bold, I know the importance of the jade interstitial, it was Professor Luo who asked me to bring it, the professor said that you are going on this expedition, it is likely that you need the jade interstitial, I didn't run out secretly, I asked Professor Luo for instructions, so the professor asked me to bring the jade interstitial screen together, maybe it can really come in handy! ”

"This Professor Luo must have fallen for you girl!" Han Jiang said with a smile.

"Not really! Professor Luo didn't stop me from coming. Liang Yuan still wanted to argue.

Tang Feng's head is big, and he doesn't know what difficulties and obstacles he will encounter along the way, this is another dragger, it's really ...... Tang Feng was upset when he thought of this, but when he saw Liang Yuan's innocent and lovely face, he couldn't bear to say anything more about Liang Yuan.

Han Jiang also looked helpless, he shook his head at Tang Feng, didn't say anything more, and slowly, he closed his eyes. I don't know how long it took, suddenly, the plane shook violently, Han Jiang opened his eyes suddenly, he looked at the frightened Tang Feng and Liang Yuan beside him, and then looked out of the porthole, he saw that one engine on the left side of the passenger plane had disappeared, and the other engine had also stopped working, and the left wing cut through the blue sky, pulling out a long black smoke......

"What's going on?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang in horror.

"The plane had an accident." Han Jiang replied nervously.

"Something's wrong? Mechanical failure? Still is......? Tang Feng was stunned.

"I don't know! Don't ask me, I'm not a pilot! ”

The cabin was noisy, and no matter how much the flight attendants kept their calm smiles, they could not calm the panicked passengers, as everyone sensed that the plane was descending rapidly. Han Jiang moved his gaze to the cockpit door, he didn't know if the pilot there could handle the situation, he suddenly had an urge to break into the cockpit, he believed that in this kind of crisis, he should be the most experienced among all the people on the plane to deal with this dangerous situation.

"What should we do?" Tang Feng had apparently never encountered such a situation.

"I can't just watch the plane fall like this, I think we should be able to do something." Han Jiang said, got up from his seat and walked briskly towards the cockpit, Tang Feng also staggered to his feet, and followed Han Jiang towards the cockpit.

The plane was still descending rapidly, and Han Jiang showed his ID to the flight attendant at the cockpit door, and then said, "Let me try, maybe it can be useful." So, the flight attendant introduced Han Jiang and Tang Feng into the cockpit, and in the cockpit, the captain and navigator were scrambling, trying to control the plane.

……

The communication between the plane and the command center was interrupted, no matter how the captain called, there was no sound anymore, only one side of the engine of the plane was working, the altitude was constantly decreasing, the captain and navigator looked anxious, Captain Han Jiangchong said: "I used to fly the plane, maybe I can help you." ”

Han Jiang still maintained his composure on the surface, but when he sat in the captain's position, he quickly knew that his little experience in piloting could not cope with this special situation at all, and after a few minutes, a layer of fine sweat oozed from Han Jiang's forehead......

"Let me try!" Behind Han Jiang, a stiff voice suddenly came, Han Jiang, Tang Feng, the captain and the navigator looked back together, at the door of the cockpit, there was an old foreign man with gray hair, and behind the old man, there was also a foreign beauty with short brown hair, Han Jiang and Tang Feng recognized these two people at a glance as the two foreigners in the cabin just now. Han Jiang and the old man looked at each other, only to see the old man in front of him, with a high nose and deep eyes, gray hair, looking no less than seventy years old, but his eyes were burning, his body was as strong as an ox, and a blunt Chinese sentence was not like a request, but more like an unquestionable order. "This person is really not an ordinary person!" Han Jiang further confirmed his previous judgment.

When Han Jiang was still hesitating, the old foreign man took out his passport and introduced himself to everyone: "When I served in the army before, I flew an airplane, and I have encountered a similar failure, you might as well let me try." ”

Tang Feng noticed the message on the passport of this old foreign man: "Ivan Petrovich Makarov, Russian......"

Han Jiang wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and stared at Makarov, he was judging quickly, handing over the plane to a foreigner to control? …… Although he had learned to fly an airplane, he had never encountered this situation, he turned to look at the captain, this young captain, I am afraid he had never encountered such a dangerous situation, it seems that he can only take a risk, thinking of this, Han Jiang seemed to have made up his mind, gave up the captain's position, and said to the old Russian man named Makarov in front of him: "It's up to you below!" ”

Han Jiang sat in the navigator's position, turned back to the others and said, "You go out first to comfort the passengers, let them rest assured, we will be fine." ”

Tang Feng and the others exited the cockpit, and only Makarov and Han Jiang were left in the cockpit, and at this time, the plane in a state of loss of control had completely deviated from the course and fell in an inclined direction to the northwest......

After understanding the altitude and various parameters of the plane, Makarov said decisively: "We don't have much time left, there is no airfield to land, we have to find a place to make a forced landing." ”

"Looking for a place? Do you know where we are now? Han Jiang felt that Makarov's opinion was completely unrealistic.

Makarov glanced at Han Jiang and said: "Of course I know, now the plane has deviated from the original course and fell in the northwest direction, and below us is the Minshan Mountain Range, where the mountains are steep, the canyons are deep, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal, it is indeed difficult to find a flat land suitable for forced landing, but, in your Chinese saying, it is called 'the road without heaven'." ”

"What can you do?"

"Control the plane first and fly to the northwest, there should be a suitable place for a forced landing."

Han Jiang shook his head, it can only be like this, one minute, two minutes, three minutes,...... Five minutes later, Makarov and Han Jiang miraculously regained control of the plane, and the plane slowed down its fall significantly, but they knew that the plane could not hold on for too long, and they had to find a suitable site for a forced landing immediately.

The plane continues to descend, 3800 meters, 3700 meters, 3600 meters, 3500 meters, 3400 meters...... The plane passed through the clouds, and suddenly, Han Jiang's eyes widened sharply and shouted: "There is a mountain ahead, quick, pull up, pull up." ”

Makarov saw the mountain in front of him almost at the same time, he jerked up the joystick, the wings and tail on one side of the plane quickly adjusted direction, and the fuselage tilted to the left, almost against the ridge, flying over the peak.

Han Jiang let out a sigh and sighed, "It was really thrilling just now. ”

Makarov didn't say a word, he was still very calm, but Han Jiang still saw the fine sweat oozing from Makarov's forehead, and suddenly, Makarov laughed strangely twice, and Han Jiang was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I said that there is no endless road, what do you see ahead?"

Han Jiang looked ahead of the porthole - an alpine meadow! He immediately understood what Makarov meant: "Are you going to make a crash landing here?" ”

"Is there a better place to be?" Makarov asked rhetorically.

Han Jiang nodded, "Yes, you can make a forced landing here, it's just ......"

"What?"

"It's just...... Have you noticed, from our point of view, this alpine meadow, high in front and low in the back, behind the bushes, and then down is the primeval forest, if we make a forced landing on the meadow, it is likely to rush into the forest, if we don't control it, we will hit the big trees, and the consequences will ......"

"I can't manage so much now, I'm running out of fuel, so I have to take a risk here, you go and call the captain to help the passengers take protective measures, and after three minutes, start the forced landing."

The captain led the crew to help the passengers take protective measures, everything was ready, Makarov stared at the alpine meadow in front of him, he decided not to put down the landing gear, directly with the belly of the plane to the ground, there are two reasons, one is because the landing gear on the left side has been damaged, only the other two landing gear forced landing, the plane is unstable, the other is to increase friction, as far as possible in a short distance forced landing, to avoid the plane rushed into the forest.

Han Jiang roughly estimated that the distance suitable for forced landing in the meadow was only less than 200 meters, followed by a bush area of more than 100 meters, and then the forest. Makarov maneuvered the plane and landed exactly on the sloping meadow runway, "Squeak-squeak-squeak!" "The belly rubbed against the grass violently, but fortunately there was some moisture in the meadow to avoid the sparks that might be caused by the violent friction.

However, the meadow was still too slippery, and the meadow of less than two hundred meters could not stop the plane at all, and the plane rushed straight into the bushes, dust, sand, dead wood, and branches, which were rolled up together, and some low bushes slowed down the speed of the plane, but at the same time there were bright sparks with the belly, the left wing was overwhelmed, with a loud bang, the left wing was broken, the fuselage suddenly tilted to the left, and in the cabin, the passengers were shaken to pieces, screams, cries, one after another.

In the cockpit, Han Jiang had already fallen down according to Makarov's request, and Makarov was sitting in the captain's seat, still trying his best to control the plane, hoping that the plane would not rush into the forest. The plane was getting slower and slower, but it was getting closer and closer to the forest, and Makarov's eyes widened, his pupils dilated rapidly, and he could already clearly see the towering tree in front of him......

"Boom! - "There was another loud bang, and the plane inevitably crashed into the big tree, but fortunately, when it hit the tree, the speed of the plane had slowed down considerably, and after hitting the tree, the plane finally stopped. In the cockpit, at the moment when the nose of the plane hit the tree, a trunk with a thick bowl mouth smashed through the porthole and stabbed straight at Makarov, who couldn't dodge and was cut by the trunk of the tree, bleeding profusely.

Everything was quiet, the roar of the engine, the grinding of the belly against the earth, the shouts of panic, all disappeared at this moment, and in this desolate primeval forest, only the crying and the howling of the wind came from the cabin.

I don't know how long it took, Han Jiang stumbled up, and a bloody wound was cut on his left arm, but he didn't care about this wound, Han Jiang pounced on Makarov and called, "Are you okay?" ”

Makarov struggled to open his eyes, squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm still alive." After saying that, he passed out again.

Makarov was still alive, Han Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, but he soon found that Makarov's shoulder was still bleeding outward, Han Jiang stood up and said, "Don't move, I'll go out and find you some medicine." ”

The violent impact made the cockpit door completely deformed, Han Jiang struggled with all his strength, and finally knocked the door open, in the cabin, the passengers staggered, some were in *, some were crying, only Tang Feng and the crew, and the beautiful woman who was walking with Makarov climbed up, Han Jiang asked Tang Feng and the crew to comfort the passengers, while finding an axe, slamming the door of the plane, the door opened, and a cold fresh air poured into the cabin, bringing hope of a new life to all the people who were desperate to survive.

Han Jiang was the first to jump out of the cabin, and what appeared in front of him was a dark and dreary forest, looking at this black forest, Han Jiang didn't know what was waiting for them? The hope of a new life, or the continuation of a terrible nightmare?

6

All the passengers were rescued from the passenger plane, the captain counted the number of people, plus the crew of a total of 48 people, none of them died, which is not a big miracle in the history of aviation, but there are more than a dozen passengers, the injuries are more serious, if they cannot be treated in time, these dozen people may be in danger of life.

With the help of Tang Feng, Han Jiang and Liang Yuan, the brown-haired beauty carried the unconscious Makarov out of the cabin and placed him under a leeward pine tree, Makarov opened his eyes, looked at Han Jiang and Tang Feng, and then looked at the brown-haired beauty, and muttered in his mouth: "Yelena, I'm fine, don't feel sorry for me." ”

Makarov's words were mixed with Chinese, Han Jiang and Tang Feng knew that the brown-haired beauty who was walking with Makarov was named Yelena, Yelena listened to Makarov's words, nodded, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, returned to the plane, took out some medicine and gauze from the plane, cleaned Makarov's wounds, and then bandaged them again, Han Jiang and Tang Feng also stayed by Makarov's side, collected branches, lit a bonfire, the temperature on the mountain was only four or five degrees, only a bonfire could bring some warmth to everyone, After Yelena finished bandaging Makarov's wounds, Han Jiang tried to ask in English, "Are you a doctor?" ”

Yelena glanced at Han Jiang and didn't answer, Han Jiang thought that this cold beauty couldn't understand English, so he glanced at Tang Feng, Tang Feng understood, and asked again in French.

After Tang Feng asked, he didn't see Yelena answer, just wanted to speak, and said it again, who expected, but Yelena preemptively replied in fluent Chinese: "Yes, I am a doctor." ”

Han Jiang and Tang Feng were surprised, and almost at the same time exclaimed: "So you speak Chinese so fluently?" ”

"What are you two doing?" Yelena asked rhetorically.

Han Jiang preemptively introduced himself: "My name is Han Jiang, and my profession is a police officer. Then he pointed at Tang Feng: "His name is Tang Feng, he is a university teacher, my friend, and the two of us are traveling to Sichuan." ”

"Oh? A cop who can fly a plane? Are you Chinese police so powerful? Yelena didn't believe Han Jiang's self-introduction at all.

Han Jiang secretly screamed badly, his originally responsive brain seemed to be out of order in front of this foreign beauty, what policeman, just said that he was the pilot of the airline, no! Now, he had to bite the bullet and continue to explain: "I used to serve in the army. ”

"Air Force?"

"Nope! Navy. ”

"Naval aviation?"

"Hmmm! Yes. The more Han Jiang talked about it, the more unreliable it became, and he began to wonder if his brain had something wrong when he made a forced landing just now.

Han Jiang tried his best to hide his identity, he stood stiffly in front of Yelena, as if he was facing a great enemy, for fear that the foreign beauty in front of him would ask some tricky questions and expose his true identity.

"Take your clothes off." Yelena commanded suddenly.

"What?" Han Jiang didn't expect the beauty to suddenly come to such a sentence.

"I told you to take off your coat and bandage your wounds."

Only then did Han Jiang understand, so he took off his coat, revealing a solid muscle, and let Yelena disinfect, clean, and bandage the wound on his left arm, while Yelena was treating Han Jiang's wound, Tang Feng kept snickering beside him, Han Jiang turned his head and glared at Tang Feng fiercely.

"Miss Yelena, I take the liberty of asking what nationality you are?" Han Jiang asked.

At this time, Yelena had already finished bandaging Han Jiang's wounds, and when she heard Han Jiang's question, Yelena stared at Han Jiang arrogantly and asked rhetorically, "Mr. Officer, do you want to check my passport?" ”

"Nope! ......" Before Han Jiang could speak, Yelena took out her passport from the small bag she carried, "snapped", and put it in Han Jiang's hand, Han Jiang didn't expect Yelena to come to this hand, and was stunned for a moment, but then opened Yelena's passport - Yelena Ivanlovna Makarova, sure enough, was Russian, and the entry time was three days ago, Beijing.

Looking at the name and age, Yelena seems to be Makarov's daughter, Han Jiang closed Yelena's passport, returned it to her, and asked, "Then this old man, who are you?" ”

Yelena was very dissatisfied with Han Jiang's question, still with an arrogant expression, staring at Han Jiang, but at this time, Makarov, who was leaning under the tree, woke up, and it seemed that his spirit was much better than just now, Makarov straightened his waist and said to Han Jiang and Tang Feng: "You can call me Makarov, Ivan Petrovich Makarov, according to your Chinese habits, you can also call me 'Old Ma', this is my youngest daughter Yelena." ”

"Mr. Makarov, thanks to you this time, without you, the consequences would be really unimaginable." Han Jiang thanked.

Makarov waved his hand: "I have worked in the army all my life, and I have encountered various crisis situations, but I didn't expect to encounter such a situation again after retirement." ”

"You also served in the army?" Han Jiang asked.

"Yes, I served my country for more than forty years until I retired." At this time, Makarov's heart suddenly gave birth to a trace of sadness.

"Is it in the Air Force?"

"Yes, Air Force, pilots, decorated pilots."

"Then you must have driven the Su-27?" Tang Feng asked curiously.

"Hehe, young man, Su-27, MiG-29, I have flown almost all the MiG and Sukhoi family planes, and Tu-160 strategic bombers, that feeling, it's amazing."

"You're so good, you've flown so many planes! No wonder you made a crash landing! Tang Feng exclaimed.

"That's nothing, I've flown American planes!" Makarov is immersed in memories of the eventful past.

"So what do you think happened to our plane?" Han Jiang's consultation interrupted Makarov's memories.

"It looks like a mechanical failure that caused the engine to stop in the air, but other possibilities cannot be ruled out." Makarov judged.

"Other possibilities?" Tang Feng exclaimed.

"You're saying there could be vandalism?" Han Jiang was also surprised.

"Nope! I'm just saying that I can't rule out any possibility, the real reason for the plane's forced landing will only be known after the authoritative department detects it. ”

"If someone sabotaged it, it would be terrible!" Liang Yuan looked around in horror.

Tang Feng also looked around, he suddenly found that not far from them, two men fell weakly under another pine tree, Tang Feng stepped forward and asked them with concern: "Are you all right?" ”

One of the middle-aged men wearing gold-rimmed glasses looked pretty good, smoking a pipe comfortably, and the middle-aged man got up and said to Tang Feng: "I'm okay, it's the one who fell off his seat during the plane crash landing." ”

"Are you two together?" Han Jiang also walked up.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "I met him on the plane, our seats happened to be next to each other, his name is Stephen, he is from the United States, me, this is my business card, please take care of me!" ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a stack of business cards from his bag, and respectfully handed the business cards to Tang Feng and Han Jiang, Tang Feng frowned when he saw this business card, and saw that the business card that was one size larger than the ordinary business card was printed on it - Doctor of Science from Oxford University, Doctor of Engineering from Imperial College London, Doctor of History from Yale University, Doctor of Business from Columbia University, and Doctor of Education from Moscow University......

Tang Feng took the business card, looked dizzy, and said in his heart that he was such a genius, why had he never heard of it, he quickly moved his gaze to the end of this series of titles, "Xu Renyu?" Dr. Xu! Tang Feng muttered the name behind the title.

"Exactly down there." Xu Renyu said with a smile on his face, but he immediately noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly took out another business card, handed it to Tang Feng, and explained awkwardly: "Oh! The one just now was my previous business card, too public, too public, because I didn't understand a truth at that time - to be a low-key person, you must be low-key. ”

Tang Feng took the new business card handed over by Xu Renyu, only to see that Xu Renyu only had one title left on this business card - Dr. Xu Renyu, chairman of Qinping Defense Company.

"Qinping Defense Company? Arms makers? Han Jiang asked.

"Nope! No! Just make gadgets, gadgets, rubber bullets, tear gas, sometimes some firearms, things like that. Our main clients are security companies and the police. Xu Renyu explained.

"So, I'm supposed to be your client, can I play with guns?" Han Jiang asked Xu Renyu with a smile.

"Yes, but it's not a good time, I'm mainly responsible for developing products."

"Doctor, we don't seem to have such a company in China, right?" Tang Feng asked Xu Renyu again.

"So our company is registered in the United States and has a perennial office in Singapore, hehe!" Xu Renyu explained.

"Then you are here to ...... this time" Because of this accident, Han Jiang raised his vigilance against everyone.

"I was mainly going to Chengdu to visit a few friends this time, but I didn't expect it to be ...... That's what happened! You see, now my mobile phone can't get through, and my friends are still ready to pick me up and wash the dust! Xu Renyu looked anxious.

"Catch the wind and wash the dust? It's not too late to postpone for a few days, at least your life is saved! After Han Jiang finished speaking, he leaned down and checked Stephen's injury, Stephen clenched his teeth, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, but after Han Jiang checked, he found that Stephen's injury was not serious, except for some skin injuries, that is, his left arm was dislocated, Han Jiang smiled and said to Stephen: "I see that you look like a Chinese, why did you come up with a foreign name?" ”

Saying that, Han Jiang took Stephen's unpreparedness and slammed it hard, only to hear the sound of "Gada", Stephen's dislocated left arm instantly returned to normal, Han Jiang stood up, clapped his hands and said, "It's okay, get up and move." It looks like you're just lacking exercise, can this little injury hurt like this? ”

Stephen didn't seem to appreciate Han Jiang's affection, he stared at Han Jiang for a long time, and then sat up with his right hand and said, "Stephen Ma, Chinese-American." ”

After saying this, Stephen leaned against the trunk of the tree, closed his eyes, and ignored the crowd. "Chinese-American? So his surname is Ma? Tang Feng muttered to Han Jiang in a low voice.

Han Jiang didn't say anything, he glanced at Stephen again, and then returned to Makarov and Yelena with Tang Feng, at this time, Liang Yuan finally found his backpack and luggage from the wreckage of the plane, Tang Feng looked at Liang Yuan's embarrassed appearance dragging the backpack and luggage, and said with a smile: "Don't come, you have to follow, you should regret it now, right?" ”

"I don't regret it! Isn't that good, Miss Ben! You're the worst, you're still sarcastic at this time......" Although Liang Yuan held back her tears, she was about to cry as she spoke.

Tang Feng looked at Liang Yuan's appearance, and suddenly sounded Liang Yongquan's entrustment when they were separated, and he felt a little unbearable, so he hurriedly wiped the tears from Liang Yuan's cheeks and said, "Don't be sad, I was just joking with you just now, I was mainly worried about the things in your bag." ”

The dust on Liang Yuan's face and tears turned her originally beautiful face into a big flower face, and after he and Tang Feng checked the jade insert in the bag, they relieved their hearts and broke into laughter.

Tang Feng, Han Jiang, Liang Yuan, Makarov and Yelena got together and lit a bonfire, Tang Feng beckoned Xu Renyu and Stephen who were sitting under another pine tree to come over, Xu Renyu was quite happy to run over, but Stephen didn't want to come over, he sat under the tree, looked at Tang Feng and them, didn't move, Xu Renyu walked a few steps, turned around and found that Stephen didn't move, so he waved his hand at Tang Feng and them in embarrassment, and sat back next to Stephen, Stephen and Xu Renyu also lit a bonfire, and Tang Feng are far away.

"What a weirdo!" Liang Yuan complained quietly.

"Everyone has their own ideas, don't force them!" Tang Feng said.

"We can't sit still here, we have to find a way to get out as soon as possible!" Han Jiang said suddenly.

Han Jiang's words made everyone fall silent, and several people looked around in unison, but in addition to the forest, it was still a forest...... Han Jiang looked up at the sky, it was almost dark, the clouds were very low, it seemed that there would be rain tonight, he began to regret his excessive self-confidence, no matter what, he should really listen to Tang Feng's words, bring weapons, maybe, danger is already approaching us, I hope peace can survive tonight.

The terrible night has fallen, the temperature on the mountain has dropped sharply to about zero degrees, and most of the passengers who have been extremely tired have fallen asleep around the bonfire, Tang Feng looked at Han Jiang and Liang Yuan beside him, the two of them let out an even snort, the Russian father and daughter seemed to have fallen asleep, Tang Feng straightened his waist and looked at Xu Renyu and Stephen, but he could only see a swaying bonfire, but he couldn't see Xu Renyu and Stephen clearly, he wanted to walk over and take a look, but after thinking about it, why bother others, so, Tang Feng leaned heavily on the trunk behind him again, he was thinking about the events of the day, he didn't expect that as soon as he set off, he would experience such a terrible thing, thinking about it, Tang Feng slowly closed his eyes...... Half-asleep, Tang Feng suddenly heard a voice, "Uh-huh-huh!" He snapped his eyes open, sat up alertly, opened his eyes wide, and looked around—it was a restless squirrel, a false alarm!

It was late at night, Tang Feng opened his eyes again, staring at the dark night sky, he had not fallen asleep, although the forced landing and treatment of the wounded had exhausted him, but the terrible encounter during the day and the cold in the forest at night made him unable to sleep, he slowly sat up, but woke up Han Jiang beside him, "You are not asleep?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang.

Han Jiang smiled bitterly and said, "At this time, how can I fall asleep." ”

"I haven't been asleep either...... Tang Feng said as he rubbed his eyes.

"Shh Han Jiang made a silent gesture to Tang Feng, motioning for him to talk to a small mountain recess next to him, so as not to wake up the others, so the two of them got up and tiptoed towards the small mountain recess.

Coming to the recess of the hill, Tang Feng spoke first: "What do you think of the air crash during the day?" ”

"Air crash? What's there to ask about this, the plane engine failed, and it was forced to land! Han Jiang only cared about saving people during the day, and he didn't have time to think about it at all.

"Is it that simple?"

"What do you mean? Do you suspect that someone is sabotaging? ”

"I don't know, but I have a bad premonition." As he spoke, Tang Feng looked at Makarov and Yelena.

"Bad premonitions? I see you're more suspicious than I am now. Han Jiang shook his head and said.

"There's no way, you brought it out! If you look at the passengers on this plane, they all have good backgrounds! Tang Feng looked at Stephen and Xu Renyu again, but Stephen and Xu Renyu could not be seen at all where Tang Feng was standing.

"You mean Makarov and Yelena?"

"And that Stephen, I'm most annoyed by Chinese foreign names."

"People have been Americans since they were young."

"In addition, that Xu Renyu, how do you look like an arms dealer!"

"Okay, let's not talk about them, let's talk about what to do next?" Han Jiang interrupted Tang Feng and said.

Han Jiang took out a 1:50,000 military map that he carried with him, pointed at a small area on the map with the light pillar of a flashlight, and said: "First of all, we must first determine the direction we are in, according to the latitude and longitude shown by the GPS, we should be in this area now." ”

Tang Feng saw the location marked by the Hanjiang River through the light pillar of the flashlight - near Songpan in northwest Sichuan, where there are all three or four thousand meters of high mountains, where the forests are vast, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the population is sparse, Tang Feng looked at his mobile phone, since the forced landing, there has been no signal, and what is more terrible is that the temperature on the mountain is still falling, Tang Feng shivered, and said: "Beichuan, Songpan, this is the ancient Qiang people's settlement area, and the historians generally believe that the ancestors of the Dangxiang people migrated north from here." ”

"Well, this is exactly the area we are looking for, and it was fate that the plane landed here." Han Jiang sighed, and then said, "Now, the two of us are waiting here, it's not a way, we have to go out and get out of here." ”

"Get out of here? After the plane had an accident, it didn't send a distress signal, so why didn't it wait for someone to come to the rescue? ”

"Wait for someone to come to the rescue? Yes, after the plane accident, it sent a distress signal, but here are all mountains, you look at the weather, the clouds are so thick, once it rains, the mountains must be cloudy and mist, rescuers are difficult to find us, among the passengers, there are more than a dozen people seriously injured, if not treated in time, there will be life-threatening, the temperature on the mountain is so low, lack of medical treatment, I dare not imagine, if delayed for a few days, there will be terrible consequences, so, the two of us have to go out first, to report the situation here to the outside world. In addition, in order to complete our plan, we have to hurry out of this mountain, no matter from which point of view, we have not much time left. ”

After listening to Han Jiang's analysis, Tang Feng completely agreed, but he still asked without concern: "But where should we go?" It's all around the primeval forest, in case we get lost in the mountains......"

Tang Feng didn't say any more, Han Jiang frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I think we should be able to find the road if we go east." Don't worry, we still have maps and GPS, we will always find our way. ”

Han Jiang and Tang Feng agreed, returned to the campfire, saw Yelena and Makarov still asleep, did not alarm them, gently woke up Liang Yuan, and then the three of them came to the wreckage of the plane to find the captain, Han Jiang told the captain their plan, and explained various matters to the captain, Han Jiang asked the captain to keep the departure of the three of them secret for the time being, organize the passengers to wait for rescue in place, and wait for the rescue after dawn tomorrow, and then announce to all the passengers that they went out to find the rescue.

After explaining everything to the captain, Han Jiang said to Tang Feng: "Leave all the useless things in your bag, only bring GPS, maps, flashlights, compass and mobile phones, although mobile phones are useless now!" ”

Tang Feng hesitated: "Don't you bring something to eat?" ”

"No, leave all the food and medicine for the other passengers, we have learned to survive in the wild."

"You can always bring a bottle of water, right?"

"No, drink the stream water when you are thirsty." Han Jiang said categorically.

When Tang Feng heard this, he fainted, "But to survive in the wild, you must always have weapons, such as daggers and the like." ”

Before Han Jiang could answer, the captain came over and handed Han Jiang a black black iron guy, Han Jiang touched it, it turned out to be a pistol, a Type 84 7.62mm miniature pistol, the captain explained: "This is the gun of the police on the plane, which is specially used on the plane, and it may not be suitable for you, but I think you may use it, remember, there are only six bullets in the magazine, you have to save some use, and it depends on you below." ”

Han Jiang wanted to tell the captain to leave the gun behind and deal with possible emergencies, but when the words came to his lips, he still swallowed back, because he knew very well that he and Tang Feng might be more dangerous along the way.

In the early hours of the morning, a heavy fog fell on the mountain, Tang Feng, Liang Yuan, and Han Jiang packed up their belongings, plunged into the fog, and under the cover of night, began to march northeastward, they had to climb over the heavy mountain in front of them, and then find any settlement or the nearest road as quickly as possible.

In the depths of the dark mountains, coupled with the vast fog, there was no light in the woods, Tang Feng could only rely on the direction indicated by GPS and compass, and struggled through the primeval forest with no people and no roads, cold, moisture, enveloping the three of them, as well as hunger, thirst, and fear in his heart...... Only the occasional chirping of birds made them feel a hint of the breath of the world.

I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly, there was a sound in front of me, Tang Feng and Han Jiang immediately pulled Liang Yuan to lean down and hide behind the tree, "What is that?" Liang Yuan asked in surprise behind him.

Tang Feng couldn't see the front clearly: "I don't know, maybe it's a wild animal." After the three of them hid behind the tree for a long time, they saw a sturdy horse and bear through the fog, slowly appearing in front of the three people, Tang Feng held his breath and did not dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the horse and bear, one, two, three, four, and then a large, two, small and three-headed horse and bear appeared, and the leading horse and bear looked around, vigilantly observing the surroundings, and finally, chose a path that was stepped out and walked down the mountain.

"It turned out to be a family of four from Ma Xiong!" Liang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's the first time I've seen a live thing, it's a national second-class protected animal, this mountain is a paradise for wild animals, and there are dozens of rare wild animals living there." Tang Feng introduced.

"You see, there's a path down the mountain." Han Jiang pointed to the road that Ma Xiong walked down the mountain just now.

Tang Feng observed for a while, and said: "I don't think this path is like people coming out, but like these wild animals stepped out, this path leads to the bottom of the mountain, here the two mountains face each other, the bottom of the mountain is generally a canyon stream, those few horses and bears are likely to go down the mountain to drink water, you see, now the sky is almost dawn, it is the time for wild animals to go down the mountain to drink water." ”

Han Jiang looked at the sky, yes, although there was still a heavy fog around, the sky was already white, and before they knew it, they had been walking for four or five hours.

"Since Ma Xiong went down the mountain to drink water, let's also go down the mountain to drink some water." Liang Yuan proposed.

Tang Feng checked the direction and nodded, so the three of them followed the mountain trail that Ma Xiong had walked on, and slowly walked down the mountain, about twenty minutes later, Tang Feng heard the sound of water, at the bottom of the canyon, there was indeed a stream flowing down from the high mountain, the stream was murmuring, Tang Feng, who was already hungry and thirsty, saw the stream, and wanted to rush up, and drank it happily, Han Jiang grabbed him, "Have you forgotten the rules of survival in the wild?" ”

"I haven't forgotten, this stream is absolutely clean, there will be no problem, you see those bears just finished drinking here, they are fine, we can drink too." Tang Feng pointed to a mess of animal footprints by the stream.

Han Jiang looked at the footprints, it was indeed the footprints of Ma Xiong, he stepped forward again, picked up the stream, and carefully observed it for a long time, and then he drank with Tang Feng and Liang Yuan.

After Tang Feng drank his heart, he sighed: "Alas! This sweet stream, if you have some game at this time, it will be complete. ”

"You're wondering! Take a break and get back on your way. Saying that, Han Jiang took out the map, and while looking at the map, he sighed with emotion: "This place is full of lofty mountains, and you can see a short distance on the map, but you have to climb over several mountains when you walk it." ”

"yes, so it's not easy for us to get out." Tang Feng sighed.

Han Jiang took out his GPS and compass again, and compared them with the map: "However, fortunately, the road we are taking now is in the right direction......" Han Jiang was halfway through his words, and suddenly froze, Tang Feng asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Han Jiang frowned and muttered, "What's going on, the GPS receiver can't receive a signal here." ”

"How is this possible? GPS receives satellite signals and should not be affected by terrain and environment. Tang Feng retorted.

"It's weird, but it's true that no satellite signal was received."

"Then wouldn't we have taken the wrong path, and if we get lost in this mountain, the consequences will be unimaginable." Liang Yuan looked at the surrounding mountains and the bursts of mist rising from the mountains, and said with some despair.

"Don't talk nonsense, we should be going in the right direction, and the GPS still has a signal just now." When Han Jiang said this, he had no confidence, although he had been a great enemy for a long time and had experienced all kinds of complex environments, but in such a dangerous situation, GPS could not receive a signal, and it was the first time he encountered it.

"I hope the compass still works!" Tang Feng pinned all his hopes on the compass.

Han Jiang stared at the compass, nodded, and said, "That's right, we are going in the right direction, according to the instructions of the compass, the upstream of the stream is southwest, and the downstream of the stream is northeast, as long as we go down this stream, we can go out." ”

"That's all there is to it, at least along the stream, and there is still water to drink." Tang Feng agreed with Han Jiang's opinion, so the three of them continued to walk downstream of the stream......

At this time, the sky was already bright, and Tang Feng, Liang Yuan, and Han Jiang all experienced a long sleepless night.
