53. A gang
When I peeled aside the foliage of the forest and saw the houses ahead, I knew we had found the right place.
It is hard to imagine that in this deep ravine of luxuriant forests, there will be a row of old houses, from the perspective of the frame structure, it looks like the kind of cottage of ethnic minorities, the roof is covered with black tiles, and the body of the house is lined with bamboo. Counting, there were at least five or six houses. I looked at each other, and he snapped his finger at me, motioning for me to retreat into the bushes.
The two silently retreated for some distance, and sat down somewhere. Things were more difficult than we expected, the earliest judgment was that it was a wild man, and when Lao Tie disappeared, he successively took out tracking and surveillance, and found two kinds of footprints, which overturned the previous judgment, thinking that at least one normal person was manipulating all this, and even the wild man was subdued by it. And what we saw at this time made us overturn the previous theory again, not one person, not two people, but ......
A gang.
A strong aura of conspiracy pervaded, and this gang in the deep forest seemed to be planning something, or hiding some purpose.
Suddenly getting up, I instinctively asked, "Where are you going?" He looked down at me and said, "You stay here first, I'll come back later." When he was about to walk again, I reached out and grabbed the corner of his coat and looked up at him, "You want to go alone?" ”
His dark eyes were a little gloomy at this time, and his eyebrows were furrowed together, "I have to find out about Brother Liang and the madman." ”
I thought about it sideways, got up with my hands on the ground, and patted the grass clippings on my body, "Let's go together." ”
"Xiao Jiu, in fact, you don't have to ......"
"One after another," I interrupted, "you also said that since we entered the black bamboo ditch, it has been a grasshopper on a rope. Now a few grasshoppers may have an accident, and you, who may be the same as them in the next moment, still understand the truth of solidarity. ”
His eyes flashed one after another, and when he turned around, a chagrined voice came: "Can you still have some good words?" What do you call me? ”
I was speechless, the point he cared about was always different.
After just ten minutes of calm, we returned to our original place, and we decided to wait and see what happened. After waiting for nearly half an hour, I didn't see anyone coming out of the room, and I thought it was very strange. Is it true that everyone immediately moved away because of the discovery of the tracker?
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing on the mountain road behind the house, so far away that I couldn't see it even if I squinted. But he heard the whispers around him one after another: "It's a madman!" I rolled my gaze in disbelief, "How so?" You read it wrong. ”
"I can't be mistaken, it's him." Said with certainty one after another.
However, it is impossible, Brother Liang and the three madmen were captured by the other party, and even the tracker was found and destroyed, could it be said that in the later time, they were escaped by the three madmen? Didn't he have that old sickness and have to sleep for three or four days? I muttered to myself.
In this case, we can no longer wait and observe, we must find someone to go and then we can find out what is going on. One after another, I decided to take the plunge and weave through the bushes to the back of the five or six houses. The terrain here is very peculiar, except for a narrow path that extends up the mountain, it is semi-enclosed, and the house is directly in front of our side of the dense forest, and directly behind is the mountain back.
So how did the other party bring Brother Liang and them here? When we got into the bushes for a while, we immediately understood that, like us, they had carved a path between the dense bushes, and then covered the perimeter with branches and leaves, but also separated by a layer of iron netting, presumably to prevent those caught from escaping from this road.
