Chapter 80: Footprints in the Mountains

A group of people are simple in hardcover, only carrying two firewood knives in hand, through the mountains and mountains, looking at it from afar, the ten thousand snake ridges seem to be in front of them, the clouds and mist are deeply locked, like a place of immortals, but the actual shape is in the mountains and forests, we are bad old sins.

"There was no road in the world, but when there were more people walking, it became a road." Ge Zhuang and I acted as the pioneers of this path, trekking through mountains and rivers in the forest, encountering thorny forests, and had to spend a lot of effort to clean up, forcibly dripped out a road for people to walk in this group of mountains, and stopped all the way, before finally coming to the stream, which would be so tired that even the firewood knife could not be grasped, so we could only tear off some cloth towels and fix the firewood knife in our hands.

Uncle Hesa pointed to the flowing water not far in front of him and said, "A few people, please see, go south along this small stream and ditch, you can pass through the tributaries of the Lancang River, the river here is not turbulent, but after crossing the river, there is a section of the road for rock climbing, only by crossing the cliff, can you successfully bypass the Li tribe, and then walk ten miles to the east, you can go to the forbidden land of the back mountain of the Li tribe, but I want to advise you a few words, the Viper Mountain Range is not easy to walk, and the living have gone in nine deaths, Not only did the people of the Li tribe dare not set foot easily, but even we, the indigenous people, did not dare to enter casually. ”

Ge Zhuang said to go to the special grandmother, there is something to go over the mountains and swim across, find a big tomb is ten times more difficult than the Red Army's fourth degree of Chishui, mother, I want me to say that it is better to withdraw first, find a few rifles and pass directly along the Ten Thousand Snake Ridge, and if we dare to block the road, we will "break through" them, and save the detour so far.

I reminded Ge Zhuang to pay attention to national unity, don't shout and kill all day long, these indigenous people live in the mountains for a long time, and are very familiar with the road conditions here, beware of playing guerrilla tactics for you, and you don't even know how you died when the time comes.

Lao Zhong held a dog's tail grass in his mouth, climbed to the branch of a tree on a high place to watch, and jumped down to preach to me, "That's right, there is really a river not far ahead, more than ten zhang wide, we have brought so much equipment, it is not realistic to swim across, it seems that it has to be like a way, use the bamboo here to build a raft to pass." ”

I said that it will at least delay a whole day's work, let's go, this road is also cleared, the return journey is much more convenient, in the afternoon I went back to the village to discuss with Chen Yun first, if you have no opinion, you have to carry out a long march of 10,000 miles every morning.

A few of us filled our stomachs with the cold and dried meat we brought, and accompanied Lao Zhong to survey the terrain in the vicinity to determine the location of the water crossing, and then cut off a few wooden sticks, tied them into bundles and stood there, so that we could not find a place when we passed by next time.

After all this, I looked at my watch, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and I had to hurry back to the village to discuss with Chen Yun, so that it would be difficult to walk when it was dark, and it would not be good to meet jackals and beasts.

The return road is relatively easy, this road has been "reclaimed" by us in the morning, Ge Zhuang walked to the front with a firewood knife, all the way to the "eighteen touches" song, humming and chirping, like a wild boar in estrus in courtship, the male duck voice, humming to death, I asked him to sing a few red songs, he said no. I said dead fatty, haven't you poured a second-hand stereo before? So many tapes at home, all of them went into the dog's belly?

Ge Zhuang said that thing is not popular now, have you ever heard of MP3? Nowadays, people like to use that to listen to songs, convenient, small, and you can carry it around, but you have to go to the flyover to download it, and you can record a hundred songs for ten dollars, all of which are recent pop songs.

I said, why don't you bring one? No wonder you sleep every night hiding in the quilt and howling, I thought you were pressed by the ghost.

Ge Zhuang said that it was not too late, the last time I bought it was broken, this thing is expensive, and it is not used, next time the fat man buys a German import, and he will not be lonely when he goes out.

Ge Zhuang howled a song "The heart is too soft" and walked back to the village, turning over and over again a few times all the way, passing through the mountains and forests, and he couldn't even catch a hare, which had already frightened the dead fat man's crying voice.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, we made the wrong time budget, half the way, the sky has been dark, a pair of people lit torches, walking in the silent barren mountain road, a few rough old men are not afraid, but boring, plus often and the trek consumes a large part of the physical strength, it is very uncomfortable to walk on an empty stomach.

As the old clock walked, he carved a mark on the tree with a dagger to prevent him from going away tomorrow, and he was annoyed by Ge Zhuang singing and arguing along the way, so he went up and kicked the dog's ass, saying Are you particularly annoying? After a while, the sows of the whole village began to howl.

Ge Zhuang rubbed his cheek and yelled at him, saying Lao Zhong, you are so unemotional, fat man, how good I sing, don't you have to listen to the red songs in your army? It's time for your old thinking to change!

Lao Zhong said that you have the strength to sing, it is better to look at your feet, and beware of a poisonous snake that will burst out and bite you to death!

Ge Zhuang said where are the snakes, this special mother is in autumn! Uncle Heza added, don't say it, there are a lot of poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains, as long as the weather has not turned cold, there will be poisonous snakes in autumn, the climate here is different from yours, you must be careful when you enter the mountains.

After continuing to walk for more than half an hour, Uncle Heza pointed to a small road in front of him and said, "Soon, the village is ahead, let's speed up!" ”

Ge Zhuang muttered, why are you walking so fast, your house can't grow feet on its own?

The four of us were transferred back to the path into the village from the mountain road in turn, Uncle Heza and I jumped up first, the road was too narrow, the ground was full of mud, and we were about to make room for the people behind, the dead fat man threw off his arms and rolled down from the two-meter-high mountain road, fell on a big horse, and put his hands on me, I didn't stand firmly, and I also fell to the ground, rolling out of the mud, and then pushed Ge Zhuang and scolded, "I ri, your ancestors, be careful, your two hundred pounds of weight can not be carried!" ”

Ge Zhuang said that how can this be blamed on Lao Tzu, it is the mountain god here who wants to see the fat man make a fool!

"Stop making trouble!" At this time, there was a scolding sound from the old bell on the side of the road, and we got up and saw that he was squatting on the side of the road with a flashlight in his hand, and was squatting on the side of the road to check.

The old bell said shut up, little pumpkin, come and take a look, why are there so many footprints on this road?

I trotted over, squatting down while wiping the mud on my buttocks, under the light of the flashlight, there were indeed rows of messy footprints on the road, the marks were very deep, and there were traces of people stepping on them everywhere, at least dozens of people were passing by at the same time to step on so many fresh mud watermarks.

And the footprints left on the ground were all stepped on barefoot, Lao Zhong and I looked at each other, and we both felt unusual, Ge Zhuang rushed over and asked, "What are you two studying these footprints for?" ”

"The Li tribe has descended the mountain!" Uncle Hesa also saw the footprints on the ground, his face was a little ugly, and said that they rarely go down the mountain to move, and this time they left so many footprints, could it be that they came to us for revenge?

"Look, how is it red over there, it's such a big fire, it must be the big girl barbecuing!" I was wondering when Ge Zhuang suddenly patted me on the shoulder, pointed to the location of the village and said.
