It was getting dark very quickly, and when I raised my binoculars, I couldn't see what the black spots were, and I couldn't tell the distance from the near and far—at night, on the snowfield with no reference, it could be a few hills ten miles away, or a few rocks a thousand miles away, but the black spots seemed to be arranged in a certain pattern, and we prayed that it must be a village, it must be!

……

But when I got there, my heart sank again, it was not a village, it was just a makeshift camp.

We lurked a hundred meters away, and through the telescope, we could only see that the campfire in the middle of the camp was still burning, the fire was shining, as if it was going to be extinguished at any moment, and there were shadows swaying on the snow, and there seemed to be people, but we could not hear them, and only the sound of the tent being stirred by the wind could be heard in the distance.

We didn't dare to rush over, we didn't know if it was those foreign mercenaries stationed in the camp.

It's still the lottery, it's still super lucky, or Afei and I are the "first place".

The two of us leaned up cautiously, wanting to give the camp people a "surprise", but we didn't expect that it was us who really "surprised" -

There was no one in the camp, not a single one.

The shadows swaying on the snow were just strips of cloth tied to wooden poles, and they were "whirring" with the wind.

The pot on the fire was still boiling broth, and it was ? There was only the bottom left, a piece of confusion, but the smell of meat was permeating, and it made me beat the drum even more.

The two of us searched every tent, but we didn't see half a figure, and then we signaled into the distance, Mo Ye brought the others over, and all the hungry wolf-like faces were flushed with red light.

Regardless of whether it is a steal, but we can't control it so much now, even Liang Fang and He Aijuan are no longer satisfied with the rules and morals, and they search around with everyone.

We found a lot of things in seven tents, stacked together with more than a dozen backpacks, compressed biscuits, compressed cans, and even fresh vegetables and beef, although they were all frozen hard, but there was a fire and a pot, these were not a problem.

The artillery found a first-aid kit, and immediately took out anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers for Hu Qiu, and put on a few layers of thick clothes for him, Hu Qiu's breath finally stabilized a lot, and after eating a few bites, he was wrapped in a sleeping bag and fell asleep. This is really the blessing of the 'mountain god'! He didn't wait for the water in the pot to boil, so he hurriedly threw a piece of half-cooked beef into his mouth and asked Mo Ye, "Uncle, who did you say was born here?" Those yellow-haired devils? ”

There were no rut marks in the nearby snow, and it was clearly not the group of foreign mercenaries. There are a lot of horses' hoof prints, trampled in a mess, and it seems that the horse team is not small.

Mo Ye rummaged through those backpacks and found a lot of palm-sized empty boxes, which were filled with cotton, and it seemed that they had contained some fragile things, and then he sat down and ate by the fire, as if thoughtful.

"Hurry up and eat, rest and leave!" Mo Ye frowned and said.

"No, won't you wait for them to come back?" Liang Fang asked.

"I can't come back—" Mo Ye said, "people have been gone for at least more than an hour, and if there is no important matter, will you leave these important things here?" ”

"Something important......" Liang Fang was scared, even if he was wooden, he could figure out what this meant—danger! Great danger!

Mo Ye drank the last mouthful of hot soup in the bowl, wiped his mouth and stood up, "Bring all the useful things!" Be quick! ”

He Aijuan also disagreed, "But, we have taken advantage of others, and we even eat and take...... In case they come back......"

"Grind a fart!" The cannon scolded, "If you love to go, you can't go, if you don't go, stay and wait for death!" ”

Liang Fang swallowed and salivaed, "Otherwise...... Leave them some compensation......" He pulled a wad of money from his bosom.

Mo Ye smiled, "If you knew what these people were doing, you wouldn't be so kind." ”

I was packing up those "gifts from the mountain god", and the most I put in my bag was food, and when I heard this, I also raised my head to look at Mo Ye.

"'Reverse line' - to put it bluntly, it is smuggling." Mo Ye kicked the empty boxes on the ground, "Looking at their posture, it should be 'wild bear bile'." ”

I know bear bile, the control at home and abroad is very strict, there are lawbreakers outside the country to raise wild bears, using live bears to extract bile, it can be said that every inch of gold, the price of smuggling into the country has risen several times, and it is also a felony to smuggle these things to be caught, so those who dare to do this business are not much better than outlaws.

Liang Fang was no longer stubborn when he heard us say this, and was busy helping to clean up his things.

At the bottom of the artillery battle, two short-barreled shotguns were turned out, which were the most earthy and oldest, naturally incomparable to Afei's, but it was also a long-range weapon, and he excitedly took it to himself, and carried one on his waist, which was really a bit like a western cowboy, but as soon as he walked up, I was really worried that he would hurt my heel again.

With food in our stomachs and warmth on our bodies, we continued on our way, starting to walk along the messy footprints on the snow, hoping to see what was going on with these "inverted lines", but before we could follow them for seventy or eighty meters, those footprints became shallower and shallower, and finally there was no trace, which is easy to explain - this is a gentle slope with a wind, the wind blows the snow, and the traces left on the ground are easily covered by the snow, and it is thanks to this that the footprints we step on will not be tracked by others.

In the middle of the night, Huqiu woke up quietly on the plow, and under the effect of the drug, he sweated all over, opened his sleeping bag, looked at the stars in the sky and asked, "Haven't you arrived yet?" That village. ”

Seeing that his complexion was much better, the cannon also showed a smile on his face, "Lao Hu, are you mistaken, how can there be any villages and towns here, the whole snow resort is bare, and it is smoother than his mother's ass!" ”

Hu Qiu used the star position to discern the direction, "That's right, it should be this in front of me, it's a big village, and you can see it from afar." ”

"When was the last time you came?" Artillery asked.

"It's not been two years, it's just winter, it's not dark yet, there are people in the village who cook on fire, and children play, I was not the only one who saw it at that time." Huqiu said, "Later, I was in a hurry, and I brought all the things with me, so I didn't enter the village, but I saw it really!" ”

The artillery man turned back and smiled at him while pulling the climbing plow, "Didn't you see a mirage, there are both on the sea and in the desert, why can't there be in the snow?" ”

Hu Qiu stopped talking, looking at the night sky in a daze.

My chest suddenly shook, and I hurriedly slowed down my pace, deliberately staying away from everyone, and then I took out my mobile phone from my coat, the call was from Du Longbiao, and he opened his mouth and asked-

"Good news, bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

It's all over again......
