But on the seventh day, no one returned. This time, the people at the guest house finally couldn't sit still and reported to the local police.

The police intervened, and after understanding the situation, they sent police into the mountains to look for it, but they didn't find anything for a day.

The police inquired in the nearby village and asked whose family had gone out to serve as a guide in the past few days. Coincidentally, during that week, this group of people went into the mountains, and this matter could be asked as soon as they were asked. After asking again, the villagers said that they hadn't been a guide for more than ten days.

Now the situation became complicated, and the police began to suspect that this matter was not so simple, maybe the five people did not hire a guide at all, but entered the primeval forest in the mountains on their own.

If that's the case, it's no wonder it's not missing. Due to the limited number of local police forces, it is impossible to carry out large-scale search and rescue, so we asked our military region for help.

I continued to look behind me and found that there was also the identity information of those tourists, which immediately caught my attention and looked at it carefully.

It was a record form used by the police to write the results of the police inquiry.

"Liu Wenxia, female, 32 years old, from Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, other circumstances unknown!

Gao Dong, male, 35 years old, from Wuhu, Anhui Province, other circumstances unknown!

Liu Chengtao, male, 33 years old, from Changsha, Hunan, other circumstances unknown!

Zheng Xiaocheng, male, 29 years old, from Deyang, Sichuan, other circumstances unknown!

Sun Ji, male, 33 years old, from Anshan, Liaoning Province, other circumstances unknown! ”

The last line should be the sixth person, the guide. However, there is no name or age, only one line that reads, "Since the identity of the guide cannot be determined, this person is tentatively assumed, but all information is unknown!" ”

I took the computer, pointed the screen at Zhao Jinfu in front of me, and said dissatisfiedly: "Unknown! Unknown! It's all ominous! And one doesn't even know about men and women, what is the purpose of this kind of personnel information? If you look at the origins of these people, there are all over the world, all over the world, is this a big tandem here? ”

Zhao Jinfu laughed twice, glanced at the truck following from the rearview mirror, and said to me: "Don't complain, it's good to have these situations." There are only a few police officers in charge there, and the average age is almost 50, so I think it's an improvement to be able to find this. ”

I asked him strangely: "Are you talking about the public security bureau or the neighborhood committee?" Can you maintain law and order there at such an age? I'm afraid that if I encounter a thief, they won't even be able to catch up! Zhao Jinfu smiled and didn't speak.

Picking up the computer, I looked at the missing person's information again, pondered for a while, and said: "It turns out that these situations are the ID card information registered by those tourists in the guest house, which was copied back by the police, no wonder everything is unknown except for the name, place of origin, and age." I said Lao Zhao, don't you think this situation is very strange? ”

Zhao Jin raised his head and asked me without replying: "You mean that the cities where these people are located are almost all over the country, but why do they suddenly gather here, right?" ”

I said, "It turns out that you have also discovered this, as far as I know, it is not common for a person to travel in a combination between travelers, but it is more common to travel in pairs." After all, I went to some remote areas, and it was unsafe to be unfamiliar with each other. ”

Zhao Jinfu said: "What you said can only be regarded as the majority, but special circumstances cannot be ruled out. For example, if you go to this obedient lake, people who don't have the ability to survive in the wild will not dare to easily step into the primeval forest. After all, the risk factor here is high, so it is not easy to organize such a tour. ”

I nodded and said, "You're right." When we find these travelers, I have to educate them well, if they are not absolutely sure, don't come to this kind of place with a bad natural environment in the future, it is better to find a natural park to climb the rockery, so as to save others trouble. ”

At this time, Zhao Jinfu turned his head to look at me and said, "Jun'er, I want to give you a preventive shot in advance, this search and rescue operation, it is likely that we will gain nothing!" ”

I was taken aback and hurriedly asked him what he meant.

Zhao Jinfu said: "It takes at least two days and one night to go to the lake, so people who go there should bring at least enough water and food to last for two days." Let's assume that the missing group each brought food for four days, but don't forget, they still have a lot of other supplies to carry, and I have already said the limit of what they can carry for four days. ”

I nodded, Zhao Jinfu was not wrong about this.

He continued: "But how many days have they been missing? For eight days. No matter how much you save, I'm afraid that there will be no food or water for two or three days now. Again, the key question is, when the beasts come out at night, how many days do you think they can hold out with their unarmed travelers? Maybe...... I'm just assuming that they were all dead by this time. ”

Zhao Jinfu said very seriously, and I began to think that what he said was right, but suddenly I thought of something else, so I said to him: "Your statement is too absolute!" If there is no food, won't they catch some wild animals in the woods? Isn't it possible to store urine without water for a while? In the past revolutionary period, it is said that the Red Army relied on eating and boiling belts, and also climbed over snow-capped mountains and meadows! ”

Zhao Jinfu turned his head and glared at me, and said angrily: "You kid is raising the bar with a heart, isn't it?" Haven't you watched too many movies? If you think what you're saying works, show me a demonstration. From now on, you will eat boiled belts and drink your own urine. If you don't have enough urine, I'll let everyone support you, and I'll give you enough of the belt! ”

"Poof", the soldier driving couldn't help but burst out laughing. At that time, I was so angry that I wanted to slap Zhao Jinfu on the head, this was too annoying! But I was speechless, and I really didn't dare to call him this board.

It was a difficult journey, and after nearly ten hours of bumpy driving, the car finally stopped.

My appetite was churned up and down by the upheaval of the road, and I didn't eat anything. That's it, I still have a nausea in my stomach. Because I didn't fit in, I was ridiculed by Zhao Jinfu, and said that I was called useless and a scholar.

He ridiculed me for not being able to fight back, and he actually stuffed food into his mouth while persuading me to take a bite. If it weren't for the lack of something in my stomach, I would have wanted to vomit on his face on purpose.

At this time, it was already past nine o'clock in the night, and we camped not far from Pianma Town in the northwest of Liuku County, near Gaoligong Mountain.

After getting out of the car, I managed to recover a little, barely ate something, and hurried into the tent to rest, because I might not be able to sleep peacefully tomorrow when I entered the mountain.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, we all got up and quickly packed our things and got into the car. After walking more than ten kilometers, I stopped on a road that tourists must pass when entering the mountain, and after walking a few hundred meters, I was about to step into the forest.

Zhao Jinfu sent a few soldiers to set up a blockade to block tourists from entering the mountain, and the others stayed in place to rest and replenish food. Taking advantage of this time, Zhao Jinfu used a military phone to contact the local police station under his jurisdiction.

Zhao Jinfu and I ate something to fill our stomachs, and as soon as we each lit a cigarette, I heard a "croaking" sound of iron pieces hitting from a distance.

Looking up into the distance, I saw a local policeman cooperating with our search and rescue operation, pedaling a broken bicycle that was about to fall apart.

Zhao Jinfu took me up and warmly shook hands with this simple old policeman.

This policeman claims to be surnamed Qian, let's just call him Lao Qian. When I looked at the appearance and thin body of this comrade policeman, I thought to myself: Good guy! Isn't this going to be almost sixty? Can this body go with us into the mountains?

At the moment of the mission, no one said polite words. Zhao Jinfu took out the map and spread it on the cover of the jeep chassis, and I went up with Lao Qian and the other two platoon leaders to look at it.

Lao Qian was very familiar with this place, and said to a few of us: "I don't think there is any need to look for the normal route into the mountain, even if there is no guide, you will not easily deviate from it if you follow the path." However, it can't be ruled out that I will encounter some beasts, although the villagers near this road also often walk, and I have not encountered any situation, but I dare not pack a ticket. ”

The so-called normal route is a path that nearby villagers often go into the mountains to collect medicine, and step out of a path, the widest place is one meter, and the narrowest is less than half a meter, which can lead to the lake all the way, which is also the only way for tourists to go to the lake. Standing on the edge of the forest, we can clearly see it winding its way into the mountains.

Lao Qian then said: "Under normal circumstances, it is at these points that the wrong path will occur. He said, pointing to the map. Zhao Jinfu hurriedly marked with a pen where he said.

I asked on the side, "Uncle Qian, how is the communication situation here?" Is there a cell phone signal? ”
