Chapter 42: Two Nights in the Jungle
[92z] Actually, Huang Mao and I are also in a hurry, but we really don't have the conditions for tracking at night, and we have to wait until dawn tomorrow; The situation in the mountains is too complicated, don't talk about chasing people if you are not careful, you don't know where you will be injured when you fall on your head, and it will be even more troublesome when the time comes. ^^^Baidu % search @ just love Chinese +.@ι θ―»ζ¬δΉ¦#ζζ°% chapter ^^^
Huang Mao found a relatively hidden tree, lit a fire, and we prepared to spend the night.
The forest is very lively, the sound of birds and insects is made together, and the most penetrating thing is the crow call, which makes people hairy to hear.
But I feel that this kind of excitement is very good, at most wild beasts will run out, but if there is silence, then it will not be wild beasts, but ghosts.
It was my biggest experience since I went through so much. Fish, insects and animals have a much stronger perception of danger than humans.
After chasing for two or three hours, our physical strength was consumed a lot, and after eating a little dry food, Cao Nan still couldn't let go, so he asked Huang Mao whether it was a human or a ghost.
"Shh
How do you know that Huang Mao's face changed greatly when he heard this, and said: "Don't say anything about killing at noon, don't talk about ghosts at night, you can't talk about this thing at night, it's taboo." β
Cao Nan's neck shrank in fright, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and stopped talking. I wanted to ask, too, and swallowed it back.
In this way, we all had nothing to say, we were all nervous, and then Huang Mao said that we would take turns to sleep at night, two people would sleep, and one person would be responsible for the vigil and take turns.
Cao Nan and I naturally agreed, it is definitely not okay to stare until dawn, and if you don't get it right tomorrow, you have to catch up for a day, so Huang Mao arranged for me to guard first, then him, and finally Cao Nan. He arranged for the two hours of midnight when the yin air was at its highest.
I put my flashlight on the guard, and the two of them slept first.
Cao Nan's heart was so anxious that he obviously couldn't sleep, but he was yellow-haired, and he snored as soon as he touched the ground.
What reassured me a little was that the mountains and forests were always very lively, and birds flew overhead from time to time, and they were safe and sound until 11 o'clock.
I woke Huang Mao up to change shifts, and then lay down to sleep, and Cao Nan also fell asleep at this time.
After a busy day and running for hours, I was so tired that I slept until dawn, and I didn't turn over in between.
There was nothing wrong all night, not to mention that I was unexpected, even Huang Mao and Cao Nan felt surprised.
After eating a little in the morning, Huang Mao led us to continue to follow the traces, but the speed of his tracking slowed down, saying that the traces were disturbed by beasts and other things, and some were unrecognizable.
The good news is that you don't lose your bearings, and you can find some obvious clues from time to time, especially in wetter places.
This chase is a whole day!
What makes my hunch worse and worse is that the direction we are heading is Jinpenling!
I suddenly had a hunch that the existence that kidnapped Cao Nan's father was probably trying to lead me into Jinpenling.
Here I have to talk about Jinpenling in detail.
The so-called Lingnan refers to the south of the five mountains, which are the watershed between the Jiangnan region and the Pearl River basin in Guangzhou, Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong.
The Jinpenling is located at the junction of Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong, although it is not as good as the five mountains, but it is also a large mountain range across the three provinces; Jinpen Mountain is the main peak of Jinpen Mountain.
Looking at it from afar, Jinpen Mountain is like an upside-down basin, if it is sunset, the whole mountain range is golden, like a golden basin; Hence its name.
Before the liberation, there were many bandits here, because Jinpenling to the north was a rich small plain in southern Jiangxi, and to the south swooped into the Pearl River Plain, and the trade routes from the south to the north passed through here, and it was really convenient to rob them.
It is said that when the Japanese came in, they also went up the mountain to suppress them, but they were not familiar with the terrain and were beaten and lost their armor.
It was not until the sixties after the founding of the People's Republic of China that it was exterminated by the People's Liberation Army.
It is said that Feng Qiantou and He Laoqi had mixed up with the bandits' den back then, and the Feng family was not only Feng Qiantou, it was a nest; Their banditry seems to have been passed down from sometime.
Although the route Huang Mao followed was not straight, he kept leaning towards the side of Jinpen Mountain, and by the time it was getting dark, he had almost reached the foot of the mountain.
It's completely out of the North Field, and it's almost impossible to find a way through the dense forests.
All three of us were so tired that we had to sleep out again; The length of time for tracking is far longer than the three of us could have estimated.
At night, I still take turns to keep vigil, and the insects are still singing in the first half of the night.
β¦β¦
I didn't know how long I had been asleep, but faintly, I heard someone calling me.
I woke up in a flash, sat up and looked, and without being surprised, Huang Mao and Cao Nan were gone!
The side is empty, and even the gun has been taken away!
I broke out in a cold sweat, why is the person gone? Could it be some accident?
I immediately got up, took the bird in my hand, and shouted twice, but no one answered me.
Damn, something happened!
I felt a chill in my heart, and they couldn't have left me alone if nothing had happened; It's just that the forest is still full of insects and it's very lively.
I don't know what to do anymore.
That's when it happened.
"Leizi, this way!"
A shout suddenly came from the distance, it was Cao Nan's voice. I hurriedly shone my flashlight and found that Cao Nan was waving at me in the distance and beckoning me over.
"Damn!"
I cursed and hurriedly ran over there, saying that they were doing something, and they didn't call me when they got up.
It's scared to death in the middle of the night,
After running for a while, I found that Cao Nan was also running forward, as if he was chasing Huang Mao, constantly urging me to keep up, and it took a long distance to shrink a little closer.
In the distance, I could only see Cao Nan's back, as well as the flashlight in his hand, looming.
I feel very strange in my heart, Cao Nan is chasing Huang Mao, what is Huang Mao chasing? Could it be that you have found clues about Cao Nan's father?
Thinking of this, I sped up and chased after me to get closer, and I could see Cao Nan's back clearly, but he didn't wait for me, and turned back to greet me from time to time.
The path of the forest is very difficult to walk, although the foothills are a large area of relatively flat road, but there are too many bushes and thorns; In some places, you have to use a wood knife to chop to open the way.
After running for a while, I was so tired that I couldn't breathe, so I held my knees to calm down, and then I had to lie down.
But when I raised my head again, I was suddenly frightened, and Cao Nan disappeared in front.
"I'll go!" I was taken aback, shouted Cao Nan, and chased in the original direction.
As a result, I didn't see him again after walking for a while, I panicked, just now the distance has been narrowed a lot, why did the person disappear all of a sudden?
He shouldn't be so fast, he won't fall into the ditch, right?
I hurriedly called out to him, but there was no response, and the forest was dark, and a moon hung in the sky, but the light rarely penetrated.
I don't know what to do, I've lost all the directions in the vast four fields, and I can't figure out that I've chased the wrong direction since I couldn't see Cao Nan. Otherwise, how can you lose sight of people all of a sudden?
Just when I was in a hurry, I suddenly felt a flash of light in the corner of my eye, and it disappeared in a flash.
Not like a flashlight, like fire!
I immediately picked up my gun and leaned over there, and if there was fire, it meant that there were people.
It's just strange that the fire seems to be walking, and he has obviously walked a long way, but he feels that the distance has not narrowed.
After walking for half an hour inexplicably, the fire finally grew a little bigger.
I was secretly happy, and my heart said that it couldn't be someone walking with torches, so I couldn't get closer.
After following the fire for a while, after turning a towering tree, I was shocked to see a temple in front of me.
In the temple, several bright oil lamps burned quietly, and the light of the fire came out of it.
I'm confused, Jinpen Mountain is a semi-primeval forest area, there are no people, where is the temple?
Could it be ...... Have you already crossed the Golden Basin Ridge? Ran to the next village?
I was a little nervous, this temple is wrong, I haven't heard that there is such a big temple in the township next door, although the temple is just one, but it is surprisingly tall, even the ancestral hall of the big surname is a little worse, the temple plaque and the pillars on both sides have words, but they are too far away to see clearly.
I cautiously stopped in place to observe for a while, but I didn't find anything unusual, the insects were still chirping, and I couldn't feel any yin wind.
So, I had the courage to touch it.
