Chapter 46: Blocking the Road
Huqiu is our "navigation" on this trip, I heard that he went north into the mountains no less than ten times, and the itinerary design also mostly relied on him. The last supply before entering the mountain was also in his plan-
It was a small town that didn't even seem to have a name, it fell on both sides of the road, no more than 100 meters from beginning to end, I thought there were no people, but when I got to the front of everyone, everyone was stunned, and the people were bustling, if it wasn't for the simple dress of the people, I really thought that I had gone around and returned to the city.
We were fortunate enough to catch their big gathering once a month.
Everyone agreed that the supply time should be controlled within twenty minutes, and I bought a box of cigarettes and came back, standing at the door of the car and smoking, fake, like stuffed willow leaves.
The three "black stick heads" were really interested in local ginseng, inquired all the way, shook their heads and walked away, seemingly testing the current market. The little couple went from the city to the countryside, but it was more like they had never seen the world, and they were curious about what they saw, and they were pulling a roe deer skin for a while, and then they were teasing the little lamb, and when they came back, they were full of a large bag of things, all of which were broken skins and rotten animal bones and dog teeth, and even more than a dozen broken stones of different sizes, but they were put in their coat pockets as if they were treasures, and they didn't know how the stall owner fooled them.
Ah Fei didn't get out of the car at all, leaning back in the chair and closing her eyes, I stole a sneak peek at her backpack in the trunk of the car, and then turned back to see that she was squinting at me.
After passing through the bazaar, we continued on our way, the road conditions were not comparable to before, the road was narrow and winding, and it became more and more difficult to walk. But Hu Qiu's car drove very steadily, he didn't step on the brakes all morning, and when it was close to noon, he changed hands, and the gunner sat in the driver's seat, but before he could start, he heard the young man named Liang Fang say, "Big brother, can you stop?" I'm going to get rid of it. β
He Aijuan's face has turned red, and it seems that it is not a moment to endure it. The artillery battle stepped on the accelerator harder, whistled on her mouth, tightened her legs, and her lips were a little purple.
"Let's stop in front for a momentβ" Mo Ye said, "just add some oil." β
The artillery was a little reluctant, but it slowed down. A few barrels of gasoline were prepared in the back of the car, and after the little couple got out of the car, the artillery man muttered while carrying down the oil drum, and did not forget to laugh at Liang Fang, "Pay attention to the deep mountains and old forests, don't let the snow rat take the little brother." β
I jumped out of the car and took the opportunity to stretch my hands and feet, and at the same time looked out to see the mountains and forests on both sides, the green pines were densely standing, and the snow was covered, and there was a dead silence.
The artillery was refueling and smoking at the same time, the oil drum was empty, and he just finished smoking, and began to curse again, "Where's the?" What a grind! β
As soon as the words fell, I heard an exclamation in the woodsβ
"Ahh
The cannon just turned his head to look over there, and didn't mean to move, but Mo Ye frowned and gave him a spoon, "Let's go, go over and have a look." β
The little couple had already run out of the edge of the forest, and even crawled with a roll, Liang Fang stepped on the air and plunged into the snowdrift, I went up and dragged him out by his feet, and the two of them turned pale with fright, and sat on the ground panting.
I asked what I saw.
Liang Fang pointed to the forest in horror, "Trees, trees have eyes!" β
"The old tree has become a fine, doesn't it have a nose and mouth?" The cannon sneered.
"Really, really!" He Aijuan also exclaimed, "Just staring at us like that, it's scared to death!" β
The cannon said, "If you go further, you will really enter the old mountain, and there are more 'essence' things in it, are you sure you want to follow?" He wished he could get rid of the two "drag oil bottles" quickly.
The little couple fell silent.
Mo Ye glanced into the forest, "Get in the car and continue on your way." β
From beginning to end, Afei didn't move, just sat in the car and looked out the window, and the direction of attention was not on our side, her eyes seemed to be only white snow and overcast gray sky.
When I got back to the car, Liang Fang remembered to thank me, and whispered in my ear, "Brother Li, do you believe us?" I really saw ...... just now."
The car rolled into the stones, flew up and fell heavily, Liang Fang almost bit his tongue, and immediately closed his mouth and didn't dare to speak again. I leaned closer to him, "You're a student of Professor Tong, aren't you?" β
Liang Fang was stunned, "Who?" β
He Aijuan was wearing thick gloves, still cold, and looked at me in confusion.
"Archaeological? Or is it a creature? I asked again.
Both shook their heads at the same time.
"You've got to research something anyway, right?" I said, at the same time, I gave He Aijuan an automatic heating hand warmer, the little couple was very grateful, and wanted to speak, but looked at the artillery battle in front of me and closed their mouths again.
The car is on the winding mountain road, the road condition is getting worse and worse, I heard that this road was built in the 60s of the last century, mainly used to transport forests and minerals, to the 90s, in dozens of kilometers away to re-build the high-speed, this road is also abandoned, about seven or eight years have not run the car, no one maintains, so the road is uneven, can be buried under the snow can not be seen, although the artillery drive is cautious, but it is still bumpy and bumpy, making the little couple's face pale, as if they are going to vomit out at any time.
I handed each of them a cigarette, and the two looked at me in confusion, "Brother Li, we won't." β
"Who told you to smokeβ" I broke the cigarette, "and put it in my mouth to chew." β
The two of them were a little puzzled, but they still did so, He Aijuan was still stimulated by the spicy and bitter taste at first, and her nose wrinkled, but after a while, her eyes widened, "Brother Li, it really works!" β
The car turned a corner, the cannon suddenly braked, the body slid forward for nearly seven or eight meters before stopping, the front of the car almost hit the guardrail, the road stone that had already been loosened fell down "crackling", we all broke out in a cold sweat, the little couple's face was even more pale, hugging each other, like two frightened chickens.
There is a big pine tree lying in front of us, blocking the road tightly, and if we don't move it, we won't want to pass.
The little couple wanted to get out of the car, but I reached out to stop me, "Wait." "They obviously don't know what I'm waiting for.
The cannon looked at the front and sneered, "Grandpa has played it a long time ago, and there are still people who dare to show it!" As he spoke, he went to the car door, and Hu Qiu grabbed him, "Mountain artillery, stop a little!" He began to look around, "Let's figure out how many people are on the other side first." β
Like us, many of us who go deep in the mountains and travel in the big forests have encountered this kind of thing, and although there is little "supply" for robbing roads in the deep mountains and old forests, there is basically no need to worry about police intervention.
The cannonball got out of the car anyway, holding a wrench in his hand, and approached the big tree. He used a wrench to chisel the body of the tree so that it made a "knock" sound, and when he looked around, there was no one at all......
