Chapter 157: New Clues
This time, even Brother Long was a little embarrassed, and was teased by Lu Xiaodan and Zhang Siqiao.
But I'm very grateful to Brother Long for this kind of thought.
After returning to the research institute, I registered the jade pendant on my body, and then handed it over to Dean Zhang.
When he saw the jade pendant, his eyes were also straight.
But we lied, saying that I went home and got it this time, because my father left it for me, so I kept it at home, and I just got it back this time.
Dean Zhang didn't say anything, but directly handed it over to the following departments for research.
Three days after we returned, the department over there called us over for a meeting.
When I arrived in the conference room, I found that Dean Zhang and several important people had arrived, and I was arranged by Brother Long next to me, sitting in the third position, and took a look, my current status is not low.
It was darkened, and the projector quickly released some content.
Zhang Siyi stood on the stage and explained to us.
This is the information I got from that jade pendant.
And the amount of information in this piece is quite large, this place, actually as far as Qinghai, is said to be a map of a point over there, and some introductions, this time, is a place called Yangming Tower.
"Qinghai, that's a plateau, it's really choking." Looking at these introductions, Zhang Shihong said.
Brother Long also nodded.
Dean Zhang smiled and said, "It's okay, you can get used to it a little more, and then go over, the map and all the information in all aspects have been prepared for you, and the things you brought have also been taken, see when you leave?" ”
I glanced at Brother Long, he had the final say in this matter, these days of rest, but everyone's injuries have healed, and Brother Long has done some training for me urgently, I feel that my feelings are still good.
Brother Long thought for a moment and said, "The day after tomorrow, I'll check it again tomorrow to make sure we have equipment." ”
Dean Zhang nodded, and after the meeting ended, he stopped me, saying that he had prepared a safe for me to put my things, and this jade pendant is now mine, but I hope I can promise not to sell this thing until we solve the mystery.
I just smiled and said, "That's fine." ”
Dean Zhang slapped me twice before letting me go.
The preparation time was not long, but I always felt that Brother Long seemed to have something on his mind, and asked him, he just smiled at me and said, "This time, don't worry, I think we will understand." ”
Listen to him, he's the captain anyway.
After resting for two more days, when it was time for us to set off, we were a large group of more than 30 people, and 14 cars were dispatched, and a car of four people was still rich.
Brother Long really dared to ask for someone, but Brother Long also said that when he got to the place, it would depend on the actual situation.
We drove all the way through, and it took us four days to get there, and of course, we were resting and not in a hurry.
It was only on the evening of the fourth day that we arrived at a small village on the outskirts of the target point.
At this point, we are really going into the mountains.
Because the location is not close to the city, and it is quite deep, it is also a kind of luck to find such a small village.
I inquired in the village, and there were no inns or anything in this village, but some of the farmers would entertain outsiders like us.
A middle-aged sister-in-law greeted us very warmly, which reminded me of the black shop outside the ancient city of Yinshan.
I followed the place and found that this is also a farmhouse, but looking at this meaning, it is quite clean and there will be no problems.
The sister-in-law worked with his family for a long time before serving us food.
I also asked a few words in black language, and they didn't know why, it seems that it shouldn't be from the underworld.
We just sat down and ate, Brother Long, they were still quite careful, leaving a person who did not eat here, so as not to have problems.
In the process of eating, I naturally talked to this sister-in-law.
The eldest sister-in-law was also good at talking, and said with a smile: "You guys are equipped like this, it's really strange that you have come to pull it out twice these days, we don't have anything here, and people who travel have come here." ”
We were all stunned, I glanced at Brother Long, his expression was quite indifferent, and then he chuckled lightly and said, "This sister-in-law, there are two people, then aren't you rich?" ”
"What kind of wealth do you have, I don't want too much, just these few tables, it's only a thousand yuan for a meal, do you say I want more?"
It's a lot, I thought to myself, these dishes on our table, if they were in the city, they would be quite expensive, but in such a village, this thing is too common.
In a remote place like this, a thousand dollars, I estimate that it is enough for their expenses for a month or two.
However, there is nothing money for us, and the above funds are also sufficient every time, including the expenses of factors such as asking for directions, which are actually counted in it.
But now it's not about money, it's about the two people.
Brother Long gave Lu Xiaodan a look, between women, sometimes it is easier to talk.
Lu Xiaodan nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, who are those people?" ”
The sister-in-law obviously didn't have any sense of secrecy, or the idea of asking for money, and said: "I don't know, there are a lot of people in each pull, and the first to arrive here is a team led by an old man, and there are about 30 people, which is about the same number as you, so it's called a Heng." ”
"Yes, not only Heng, but also some, at first glance, they are not good people, just like the one who hit the head, with a scar on his face." The farmer's eldest brother also followed.
Scarring? My heart couldn't help but tremble, it reminded me of a person, with a scarred face, in prison, if he hadn't come to trouble in the end, I wouldn't have met Zhang Wenyue.
The idea was only a flash of thought.
Because they've already talked about the second team.
The second team was actually a team of foreigners, which was really not seen in the village, and it was quite attractive at the time, but the Chinese they led was still good, and it was a girl.
The eldest sister-in-law also showed us how tall and tall they were, and what they looked like was a beautiful or something.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, this place is also remote enough, maybe you can't really see foreigners, but fortunately this is a new era.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have to treat people like ghosts.
Brother Long said at this time: "Sister-in-law, foreigners also come to you, so you also earn foreign currency, right?" ”
"Hey, what foreign currency is also used in RMB, how can there be a foreign currency." The eldest sister-in-law laughed twice and said, "But it's a little strange, they all inquired about a stone forest here." ”
Shi Lin, my heart immediately lifted.
Because before we came out, we also analyzed the terrain here, the location we were going to, but it was in the middle.
And on the periphery, there are some huge spaces for dot matrix images.
At that time, I felt that this space was not so simple, it should be a forest or something.
However, Brother Long disagreed with this point of view, because if it was a forest, the representation on the drawing should be another method, and he guessed that it was a stone forest, and only the stone forest would form this kind of lattice.
That's just what we said at the meeting, and it's impossible to get it out.
Because when I joined the company, they told me that there was a confidentiality agreement.
I glanced at Brother Long, and there was a little triumphant smile on his face.
I can feel what he thinks, he is experimenting, testing among us, or in our institute, whether anyone is going to leak information to the outside world, and now it seems that this is really the case.
There are moles among us, but we don't know who this person is.
If you talk about foreigners, I guess several, because there are not many foreigners in the institute, but there is still a team, according to the sister-in-law, who are obviously Chinese.
So how did they get the information? And who released it?
"Stone Forest." Lu Xiaodan picked up the conversation and said, "Isn't it a tourist place?" ”
"No, it's not." The eldest sister-in-law's face changed suddenly, "I said girl, you are like this, don't go over, that place, you can't get out if you go in, it's the place of death in this place." ”
We are all stunned, the land of death, is there anything in the stone forest?
Brother Long pretended to be in spirit, and said, "Sister-in-law, we are an expedition team, how is this stone forest a place of death, can you tell me?" ”
"I don't know." The eldest sister-in-law's words made us almost vomit blood, I don't know what you are talking about.
However, the farmer's eldest brother immediately picked it up and said, "That place, someone has been here before, saying that it is of some adventure value, but it is only for people to come in, and they have not gone out." ”
Damn, it sounds a little scary.
"How many people have been here?"
"When I was young, there was a team that was still protected by soldiers, but no one came out, even those who were soldiers disappeared, don't you think it's scary?" After the eldest brother finished speaking, he also had a cold war.
Neither of us spoke, the eldest brother looked like he was in his forties, and when he was young, that is, more than thirty years ago, it was not their father's generation.
But who are the people who came more than 30 years ago? Is it really just some geological expedition or something?
It's unexpected.
In addition, I can imagine that those who are soldiers should have weapons in their hands, and if they can't get out, it shouldn't be in danger, so in this way, there is only one possibility, there's a maze.
Brother Long also sighed, signaled to Lu Xiaodan, and didn't ask anything anymore.
"I'll tell you a few, we don't have anything to play here, or else, it's better to leave quickly, and go see what kind of city, lake, etc., this place, alas." The eldest sister-in-law also sighed.
But I smiled, no way, that's what we do.
