16. Before the stone gate (middle)

Under the successive greetings, the rest of the people also gathered around, and then listened to his arrangement: "We will rest until half past three and march inside, and strive to catch up with the road for two more hours, and if we don't find it before six o'clock, we will find a place to camp." ”

But seeing Lao Tie shaking his head, he said, "No, it can't be six o'clock, and you have to prepare to camp at half past four." Because of the fog in the mountains, a thick fog rises in the evening, and if you don't know it, you get lost in the forest and never get out again. ”

He was slightly stunned one after another, and looked at the two policemen, "Won't it be early at half past four?" ”

One of them said, "Listen to Lao Tie, he's been running in this mountain, and he has more experience than any of us." In the past few days, when the team arranged to search for people, it was indeed foggy very early, and because of this, we could not search deeply. ”

When Lao Tie heard the affirmation of the police comrades, he immediately showed a proud look on his face, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to take you in to find someone, and ensure that no one of them will come back." ”

I looked at Lao Tie and chuckled, what an honest man, no one would dare to pack a ticket like this. Take the two policemen who came together, their faces were empty, and it could be seen from their eyes that they were afraid of the stone gate after it was closed, but for some reason they had to sell face one after another, and they took this trip hard.

This is the conclusion reached by observing the words and deeds of each person while walking silently along the road. No wonder there has been no news of these two missing cases, and the reason is this, I am afraid that the scope of the police search is also at this Shimen Pass, and they dare not go deep because they are afraid of the curse of this valley of death.

After the discussion, they each found a place to sit down and eat, sat down next to me one after another, and said in a voice that only I could hear: "Xu Jiu, can you put away the cynical expression on your face?" What are you thinking, I know, although I share your doubts about the police's search and rescue efforts, we need to rely on them later. ”

A cynical expression? Do I have one? Before I could ask, he spoke again: "Don't deny it, the corners of your raised mouth can't be seen by others, and I can see that you are burying people in your heart." ”

frowned, as if he knew me well. Because of the large number of people, it is not easy to refute, so I choose to ignore it directly.

When he saw that I was silent, he shut up, thinking that he would get up and go to his brother, but he did not move, but sat down beside me, lit a cigarette, and smoked to himself, thinking of his spring dingdong. The smell of smoke was not choking, it was within my tolerance, so I didn't scold him to stop him, and my eyes couldn't help but fix my eyes on the smoke cloud at his fingertips, slowly curling, with a cluster of sparks hidden.

Suddenly, something was thrown in the air, I reflexively raised my hand to block it, and found that a long white cigarette fell silently at my feet, and looked at it along the arc of the throw, and found that it was Brother Liang. When he saw me looking over, he said, "If you want to suck one, don't look greedy." ”

I squinted, didn't make a sound, stared at him for two seconds, and when I turned my eyes, I noticed that a slender hand stretched out beside me to pick up the cigarette on the ground, and said one after another, "What do girls smoke?" Brother Liang, don't bring bad guys, give me this cigarette. ”

Brother Liang smiled evilly, "I don't know who brought the bad who is wrong." ”

I was heartbroken, lowered my eyes and opened a bottle of water, and took two sips. Yu Guangli saw that he successively put the cigarettes he picked up into the cigarette box, and heard Brother Liang teasing: "Don't you always dislike my cigarette too strong?" ”

"So I put it in a box." One after another, Brother Liang sneered, ignored this side, turned his head and talked to the three madmen.
