After reading Du Longbiao's text message, I was distracted for three minutes - mercenaries, "exterminators", it seems that everything is for a reason, a man and a woman killed by foreign mercenaries turned out to be not a good cake, the "colonel" asked them should be the exact location of the underground ancient city, they all think there is a thousand-year-old treasure buried there.

But who is on the other half of that mutilated photo? Is it true that there are already people lurking around us, as Biaozi said? What is his or her purpose? Grab the treasure, or ......

"You're dead, why don't you speak?" The person next to me hit me with his skull and dragged me back from my thoughts, I looked at my phone again, and the last unread text message was actually sent by Qin Xuetong, only a few words-

"If you really don't call me, then I'll call you, and you're not in the service area...... Seeing the reply, there is something serious to ask you. ”

"What kind of broken phone are you, can you still chatter happily?" The guy started yelling again, I threw a pile of grass on his head, and he shouted even more cheerfully, "The person you are calling has been buried alive, please contact the local police station, the ...... you called"

Black Pimple poked his head out of the ladder, "Everyone has something to discuss with you, brother, look-ah?" Bigpipe, it's you?! He stared at the guy in the haystack and almost fell......

It turned out that this crazy "second group" was one of their gang of smugglers, and it was he who led a few people to steal the stolen goods with the intention of rebelling.

Black Pimple asked him what about the others, he just giggled, whined and couldn't say clearly, and asked him what happened to him to become like this, and he began to cry, saying that he missed home, his daughter-in-law, and his parents.

It seems that he can't ask anything, but Black Pimple finally met an "acquaintance" and pulled him to ask for warmth, if it weren't for the big difference between the two, I really thought they were brothers.

The group came to me about when to leave, maybe they just reached a tacit agreement, the opinion is the same, not to leave tomorrow, and to recuperate here for a few more days.

Mo Ye pointed to the artillery battle sitting on the chair, "Brother, you have also seen it, the mountain cannon is the most seriously injured and the slowest to recover, if you just toss like this, I'm afraid-"

I want to say, aren't you still worried about the drug recipe in your village?

Liang Fang and He Aijuan also said, "I finally got here, the meteorological data and geological data are not complete, as long as we have a little more time......

Ah Fei was noncommittal, but she could guess from the eyes that kept looking at the snowy mountains around her that she didn't plan to leave just yet.

According to Black Pimple's words, he had decided to go back with me tomorrow, but he didn't expect to meet his "former teammates" here, no matter what they did, after all, he had been with them for more than 20 days, there was no friendship and feelings, and there were only two of them left in the team, so why couldn't he throw the other one here.

My brain started hurting again, but I didn't say much, and sat there smoking violently.

……

The worship ceremony of worshipping the gods and ancestors in the village lasted for two and a half hours, and when it was over, it was close to noon, and the villagers had nothing new to see us, and it seemed that they were not accustomed to it, and in the end only the old man Wei, the "divine doctor" and the head of the village, remained.

I've seen him, it's the guy who doesn't seem to have eyes, he's too old, the wrinkles on his face are piled up into furrows, the eyes are there, but the eye slits are too thin, and they melt into the wrinkles, and if you don't look carefully, the whole face is a big bitter gourd that comes over.

As soon as I thanked him, Mo Ye pulled him aside, chatted for more than ten minutes, and when he came back, Mo Ye's face also turned into a bitter melon, and it seemed that the "business" was not negotiated.

As for the proposal that we have to stay for a few days, Old Man Wei has no objections, only that all the people who come from all directions are guests, as long as they don't run around, they can stay as long as they want.

In the afternoon, the villagers took advantage of the warm sun to work in the fields, they are different from the normal croppers, they work in spring, summer and autumn, and their most active season is winter, there are many cold season medicinal plants that need to be taken care of now.

Seeing Ah Fei grinding a dagger in front of the courtyard gate, I pretended to have nothing to do and walked over, wanting to tell her about my next step, but just after a few steps, I was pulled over by a person who rushed from the oblique thorn, and when I saw that it was a black bump, he dragged me into the corner of the wall, and booed vigorously, and when I saw that there was no one around, I whispered to me, "Brother, the big thing is not good!" ”

I said I hadn't met anything good since I met you.

He said brother, let's not make trouble first, you listen to me finish talking.

He muttered in my ear for a long time, the voice was too quiet, and I couldn't hear it very clearly, probably meaning that there was something strange in this village, not as harmonious and warm as it seemed.

"Your former teammate called 'Big Pipe' said that?" I asked.

"Hmmm! Yes, he now has water, mud and cement in his head, crazy and stupid, but sometimes he can also come up with a few truth-" Black Pimple said, "We can't have the heart to harm people, but the heart to prevent people ......"

"What about others?"

"Uh...... I said it was 'standby', but I don't know what it means......"

That's it, you still believe him, I pouted.

The black pimple saw it, and hurriedly said, "Brother, if you don't believe him, you have to believe me, I saw it with my own eyes just now!" ”

"See for yourself?"

"Yes, you come, I'll take you to see!" The black bump pulled me to the back of the room.

All the way through more than a dozen houses, turning east and west, and finally stopping in front of a courtyard, we went in from the back door, and secretly leaned on the window behind the house to look in, in the house Old Man Wei was changing the dressing for the artillery battle, and Mao San was twisted aside to help.

As soon as the medicine cotton was removed, the wound on the face of the artillery began to "whirring" and pus began to gush out, and it was much better a few days ago, why is it serious now?

Obviously, Old Man Wei was also helpless, so he lit the stove under the medicine jar, took out more than a dozen brown paper bags from the drawer, took a few dried worms and threw them in, picked up two toads and threw them into the hind legs, and threw a spoonful of snot-like mucus into the medicine jar, and finally grabbed a handful of red powder and put it on the wound of the artillery battle, giving the artillery a muffled snort.

Black Pimple found that I twitched the corners of his eyes, and explained in a whisper next to him, "This, it's really nothing, the medicine is evil, but the yin and yang complement each other, and it's not a problem, it's just that the cinnabar is a little ruthless, but that thing is not too dangerous if it doesn't get hot, and there is a chicken leg ...... that field."

I gave him a look and motioned him to shut up, but the kid understood and stopped talking about it right away.

In the house, Old Man Wei had used medicine, smoked a big cigarette pouch and thought about it for a long time, and then said to Mao San, "The amount of this medicine is still not enough, so, three twists, you go to the backfield and make some medicine primers, I'll try again!" ”

Mao San twisted the yes and turned around and went out.

Black Pimple and I followed right behind, not knowing what the so-called "medicine primer" was......
