Chapter 12: Into the Mountain
We were in the small county town closest to Changbai Mountain, found a hotel without identity registration and stayed overnight, bought a few thick clothes, came too busy and didn't have time to pay attention to the weather here, the clothes we wore couldn't bear the north wind here, although the wind was not strong, but the cold wind was biting, blowing my whole body bones and pain.
Dinner was eaten in the room, after all, Meng Xinrui couldn't go out like this. After eating, the old prostitute chatted with the owner of the hotel for a while, but she really didn't expect to get a little information about entering the mountain.
The old prostitute learned that this season is the most rampant time for timber theft in the mountains, and that there are often armed police and forest rangers patrolling the mountains recently, and if you want to enter the mountains, you must get the approval of the forestry department and get a permit to enter the mountains.
The old prostitute told me about the situation, and when she heard the news, her head was big, and she thought, "Oh, how many days does it take to get a pass?" If you wait for a few days of heavy snow to close the mountain, you will go in. But on second thought, these local residents must have other ways to enter the mountain, and they can't go to get a permit every time they enter the mountain.
Sure enough, I said it, to survive in this world, you must remember a law, money can make ghosts grind. As long as we have money, we can do anything, I gave the owner some money, he personally took us on the trail, bypassed the checkpoint, and promised to take us all the way to the nearest gas station in the mountains.
The next morning, after breakfast, the owner of the inn led us out, bypassing a long country road, and he did show us a gas station, told us that there was no checkpoint ahead, and he left.
We rested for a few minutes at the gas station and filled up the gas, and the refueling staff said that this was the closest gas station to the southeast section of Changbai Mountain. In fact, there are still more than 100 miles away from where we are going, but it is indeed the nearest gas station, and if you go inside, let alone a gas station, you can't even see a private house.
When the car turned to the fork in the mountain, the satellite navigation lost its effect, and it was completely dependent on the memory of the little wolf to guide the way. The roads in the mountains are all rocky roads, but fortunately there are some big ruts, which seem to have been pressed out by the carts that transported timber in the mountains. It's a lot easier to walk down the big rut, and we're really glad that the snow isn't too big, otherwise it's really hard to find a way out.
Walking here, I really realized what is the eighteen bends of the mountain road, not only many bends, but also a lot of uphill and downhill slopes, sometimes I really want to go down and walk in, and the speed of the car in many places is really not fast.
That is, after a few hills, the big rut stopped, and a fork in the road appeared in front, and the car stopped, and it was convenient for everyone to get out of the car, and let the little wolf carefully identify which way to go.
After getting off the bus, I realized that no wonder the big rut stopped here, this is simply a natural dividing line, directly in front of me is a dense and tall primeval forest, and behind me are a lot of thin and withered small trees, of course, not really small trees, but compared to the previous ones, much smaller.
After getting in the car, the old prostitute and the little wolf changed positions, the little wolf sat in the co-pilot to guide the direction, I sat in the second row with the old prostitute, Meng Xinrui herself was in the last row, I wanted to chat with Meng Xinrui, improve her mood, but I couldn't find a suitable topic. The old prostitute has a lot of words, but none of them are serious, so she listens to him all the way.
It is indeed difficult to discern the road ahead without ruts, and many times the car walks in the col, occasionally climbing up the hill, along two straight rows of woods, and in some places it is narrow enough to accommodate the car to pass through. I'm glad that Longjiu is an off-road vehicle arranged for us, which other vehicles will never be able to cross here.
It's been a very hard journey, and I don't know if the little wolf took the wrong way, or if there was no way to the inside in the first place. I thought to myself, didn't you say that the bomb shelter was an old-fashioned arsenal? How can there not even be a decent road, even if it is a long time, there should be traces of an old road. But now don't say it's the old road, you can't even see the path that people walk.
I was really puzzled in my heart, and I said, don't you ship weapons produced in the arsenal? Even if the weapons are not shipped out, then the raw materials should also be transported inside, is it possible that the raw materials of the arsenal have been airdropped? This Nima is also too inconsistent with the national conditions at that time. I really can't understand it, I can only doubt the IQ of the little wolf.
The bumps and twists and turns along the way are impossible to describe in words, although this journey is not far, but it is out of the time from Chengde to Jilin, and the whole mountain has not reached the mountain that the little wolf said when it was dark. But at night, I couldn't see the road with my headlights alone, so I decided to spend the night in the car and continue driving tomorrow for safety reasons.
It's really uncomfortable to sleep curled up in the car, but you can really fall asleep, after all, it's been a bumpy day, and the skeleton of the whole body is about to fall apart. Just when I was sleeping, the old prostitute pulled me by the hand and said, "Wake up." ”
I opened my eyes in a daze, thinking it was dawn, but when I opened my eyes and saw a person standing less than 15 meters in front of the headlights, I asked, "Who is that person in front?" ”
"Oh my god, you can see clearly, that's a person, that's a black bear."
As soon as he heard that the old prostitute said it was a black bear, he quickly sat up, rubbed his eyes that were still hazy, and took a closer look. The black bear stands up about 1.7 meters, with a round head, large ears, small eyes, black and slender body hair, and a V-shaped white spot on the chest. It was standing in the middle of the road in front of it, staring straight at our car.
"Give me the gun." The old prostitute stretched out a hand and said.
"Guns, what guns?" I was obviously confused by the prostitute's question.
"Damn, don't tell me, you didn't bring a gun this time." The old prostitute looked at me dumbfounded.
I shook my head at the old prostitute, who stared at me angrily and shouted, "Damn, are you reliable or not, you dare to enter the primeval forest without a gun." ”
"Don't make any noise, turn off the lights." The little wolf stared at the black bear in front of him and said.
After the driver turned off the headlights, there was a temporary darkness in front of him, and after two minutes, through the dim moonlight, he saw that the black bear in front of him was gone. I said to the old prostitute: "You girl, what a fuss, when you meet a black bear, you will be scared like this, and you will be a master." ”
"My god, what do you know? It is the season of autumn and winter, and the black bear is going to hibernate, and before hibernation, it has to eat a lot of high-fat things. You fuck, you know how dangerous it is just now, if it comes and overturns the car, we will not be eaten, and we will have to be trapped in this primeval forest. If you kid comes with a gun, at least we can get rid of it, and we have to wait for it to go. ”
Hearing the old prostitute say this, she was really a little afraid, and hurriedly said to the old prostitute: "Okay, prostitute, I was wrong, it's all gone, you just let me go." In order to shut up the old prostitute as soon as possible, I had to sell cuteness in front of him.
As soon as the words fell, we heard a "bang", and the body shook, which startled us, and I don't know who shouted in fright, not good.
