Now he found something of interest, and I guess no matter how much he suffered, he would think it was worth it.

Ouyang Or, who led the way in front, didn't use a compass to find the way, but still held his turtle shell. In the other hand, he holds a straw stick and uses the change in the shadow left by the sun's rays on the turtle's shell to discern the direction.

This is really a real person who doesn't show his face, and this kind of ability makes me even more impressed with Ouyang.

We walked from morning to afternoon, and the time should have been around 3 p.m.

However, the sunlight at this time in the mountains is more poisonous, and when I walk to an unobstructed place, I feel that the sun is scorching and hurting.

Since I've been on the road, sometimes climbing and sometimes descending, I don't know what the altitude here should be.

Originally, in Ma Tan's bag, there were also equipment such as an altitude gauge and a compass. However, Ma Tan has always been obsessed with all kinds of plants in the mountains, and he has never taken them out to see them.

But I looked around, and the side wall was very steep, especially the one closest to us, which looked like it had been cut by an axe. The sun shone on the mountain wall, and in some places it reflected the light. You can see how steep the terrain is.

Walking here, Ouyang Or looked at the turtle shell in his hand and said, "It should be not far from here." I'll wait until I'm looking for a place to settle down, and I'll go ahead and explore the way. ”

I nodded, "Shall I go with you?" ”

Ouyang Or waved his hand: "No need to ...... The large number of people will affect my judgment. If I want to go, I can take it with me. ”

As he spoke, Ouyang He pointed to the iron pillar that followed us.

It is estimated that Ouyang may have also seen the extraordinaryness of the iron pillar. This kind of dog seems inconspicuous to us, and in the eyes of connoisseurs, it has really not been buried.

I beckoned to the pillar, and the pillar ran over.

I pointed at Ouyang Or and said, "Tiezhu, follow him to the front to explore the way." Everything is up to him, you know? ”

Tiezhu can basically understand people's speech, and after I finished speaking, he shouted at me twice.

Ouyang He smiled, pointed to a high post not far from the side and said, "I am relatively familiar with this place, after that hill, there should be a backwater lake." Although it is stagnant water, the water in the pool remains clear all year round, and you can rest by the water's edge. I took it to the neighborhood to explore and see if I could find some clues about the village of the dead. ”

I nodded, and asked, "Didn't the village say that it only happens at night?" ”

Ouyang Or said: "Even if it appears at night, it should exist during the day, but something is covered up, not non-existent." With enough insight and judgment, it's not hard to find some clues. Just wait for me by the lake. I will be back before dark. ”

After speaking, Ouyang or Chong Tiezhu waved his hand and took it along a small forest next to him.

Soon, their figures disappeared into the woods, and the footsteps were inaudible.

I waved my hand: "Let's go, let's turn to the front." ”

The three of us followed Ouyang He's instructions, walked to the high slope, climbed from the bottom to the top, and looked ahead. Sure enough, I saw a scene that suddenly opened up.

This high slope is surrounded on all sides

, the slopes are undulating and undulating, and they are connected together, forming a special terrain.

In the middle of the high slopes, there is a lake.

The lake is as green as jade, which is a bit like the Tianchi we have seen in Changbai Mountain. It's just that this lake is much smaller than Tianchi. It's not even as wide as the water we found Ouyang Or.

However, the environment is still very eye-catching, and the scenery is pleasant. If it weren't for the third uncle's affair that made me feel depressed, I would definitely feel relaxed and happy when I saw this kind of beauty.

It's a pity that the closer I get to the third uncle now, the stronger the tension in my heart.

We descended the high slope until we reached the edge of the lake.

On the shore of the lake, there were all those little stones. The sunlight shone on the stones, and it reflected colorful light. Countless pebbles are laid on the shore of the lake, looking like countless gems, dazzling and crystal clear.

Seeing this, Fat Dahai happily picked up a stone, looked at it in his hand, threw it to the ground again with some disappointment, and muttered, "It's just an ordinary stone." ”

I smiled wryly, "Otherwise, it could still be a diamond?" What do you think? ”

At this time, Ma Tan also picked up a stone, observed it, and said, "It seems that the water of this lake also has tidal changes. When the tide is high, it should be full of water. The stone is filled with the excrement of aquatic creatures, which contain phosphorus, so it can shine in the light. ”

I was surprised: "Ouyang may say, this is a backwater lake. Can a backwater lake also ebb and flow? Where does the water come from? ”

Ma Jian shook his head: "I don't know about this." There are so many difficult issues in the world. But I don't think it's right for us to camp here, or when the tide rises, it'll all be water. ”

I nodded, pointed to the high slope and said, "Then let's pitch a tent farther away." ”

We had a simple tent with us, so it was easy to set it up.

We got to a little higher, but no one bothered to do it. Because seeing that it was getting dark, Ouyang might say that he could come back before dark. We don't have a clear plan for what we're going to do next until he comes back, so we just want to wait until he comes back.

The bluestones that can be seen everywhere in the mountains can provide us with a place to rest.

Ma Jian carried insect repellent powder with him and sprinkled some on the bluestone, and we either sat or lay on it. The bluestone was a little hot by the sun, and we lay on it hot, and we didn't have to worry about mosquito bites, so it was very comfortable.

I looked up at the sky, which was less than an hour before it got dark, and there were still some bright colors in the sky. But in the part near the mountain, it is cloudy and mist, and we can't see where the mountain peak is.

I looked at the mountain and said, "You say, what will happen if the bus slides off the mountain?" ”

Fat Dahai looked up and asked, "Boss, are you saying that this may be where the wreckage of those two buses is located?" ”

I squinted my eyes, looked at the clouds in the sky and said, "Who knows? I was just thinking, Ouyang

Or that mysterious village only appears at night, could the bus also fall into that village? That's why the search and rescue teams couldn't find it. ”

Fat Dahai nodded: "I think so too." But it's better to see is believing. I have a hunch that we should be about to find Uncle Shi and them. ”
