Chapter Seventy-Two: Entering the Black Bamboo Ditch
Because we need to bend Sichuan and join the second batch of exploration teams, we formulated a driving route from the Sichuan-Tibet line into Xinjiang, the car is driven by the three of us in turn, along the way I also heard the voices of Zheng Tian and me, this Ai Lanlin is like an ice sculpture, and does not care about the two of us at all, I said that I have long been used to it.
We took the national highway all the way, the driving was quite smooth, a day later we drove into the territory of Ebian Yi Autonomous County in Leshan, according to the previous agreement, we will meet with the second group of exploration team in the Kanga Hotel in the autonomous county and then go to Xinjiang together, but when we arrived at the Kanga Hotel, we found that the second group of exploration team had left.
After finally using a satellite phone to get in touch, I learned that their actions in the local area were too ostentatious, and they were targeted by the local police, so they temporarily decided to change the meeting place, and the new meeting place was set in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture on the west side of Leshan.
Although it was not pleasant to be released, there was nothing good to do, so we made a few repairs in the local area and then went back to the provincial road. I drove this section of the road, and after driving for more than ten kilometers with the satellite navigation, there was no fork, but when I needed to take the winding mountain road into the deep mountains, a sudden situation came.
Zheng Tian, who was sitting in the co-pilot, noticed that something was wrong, and as soon as he drove on the winding mountain road, he said to me with a puzzled face: "Chengzi, have you noticed that there is a car following us all the time?" ”
Observing through the rearview mirror, there is indeed a white off-road vehicle that has been following behind our car, in fact, this car has been following us when we left Ebian Autonomous County, but considering that the provincial road we took is the most convenient road to Ganzi, many people will choose to go from here, so we didn't take him seriously at the beginning, but now we have left the provincial highway and got on the winding mountain road with very little traffic, and this car is still following, which makes people wonder.
"Could it be that the police are targeting us?" I said uneasily.
"We didn't break the law, what are you staring at us?" Zheng Tian said.
"Maybe our car is the car of the company's second exploration team, after all, the second group of people don't know what to do here." At this point, I raised my voice deliberately and glanced in the rearview mirror at Elanlyn in the back seat.
"Stop the car and let them go first." Alan Lin, who was in the back seat, spoke, without a hint of hesitation in her tone.
I thought about it and was right, whether the car was specifically following us, just stop the car and see how they reacted.
So I stepped on the brakes and looked out the window in the rearview mirror, where the white SUV behind me was getting closer and closer, and finally when we got to the side of our car, they also stopped.
My heart suddenly hung in the air, and I felt like someone was about to get off the car, but the strange thing was that after a minute of stalemate between the two sides, the white off-road actually stepped on the accelerator and left directly.
"What do we do now?" Zheng Tian looked at the off-road car that was going away and asked.
"Let's wait where we are, there must be something wrong with that white car." I replied.
As soon as I finished speaking, Elan Lin's satellite phone rang, and it was the second group of people from the exploration team, who said that they wanted us to pick up someone on the way here, and sent specific coordinates.
I looked at the satellite map, and the location of the coordinates was located in the mountainous area of Heizhugou, five kilometers to the south.
Although the target location is indeed relatively close to us, this place of Heizhugou is not something that ordinary people dare to enter, and there are often bizarre incidents of wild people haunting and people and animals missing, which is called "Chinese Bermuda".
So I asked Alan Lina who it was, so important that we should take the risk of picking it up.
Alan Lin didn't answer my question, only spit out two words: "Go pick it up." ”
"Is that guy so idle that he runs into the mountains and old forests alone?" Zheng Tian was also unhappy.
"Go into the mountains and pick up people." Elanlyn said again in a commanding tone.
Seeing her resolute attitude, we had to drive the car out of the winding mountain road first, temporarily store the car in a small mountain village at the foot of the mountain, and then take some necessary equipment and walk into the mountains.
The slanting sunlight shone unevenly through the gaps in the shade of the towering trees, and the snow had just melted, and we were groping in the mountains on fallen leaves covered with water and earth chips.
Soon, we found that the trees around us were getting taller and denser, and we even encountered many century-old cedar trees with a diameter of about three meters and a height of at least 80 meters. There are many ancient wild vines wrapped around the tree, like poisonous snakes, which at first glance makes people feel a little weird.
Zheng Tian was relatively timid, and he was looking east and west with his newly acquired steel crossbow all the way, for fear that something would suddenly burst out and give him a moment, like a frightened bird.
In fact, I was also very nervous, and I vaguely felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at you all around.
To say that we have a lot of experience in Zanglong Mountain before, now we should not be surprised, but in fact, Zanglong Mountain and this black bamboo ditch compared to the small amount of the big thing, most of the land of Sichuan and Shu is steep mountains, dangerous and abnormal, and this killing in the invisible black bamboo ditch is even worse, in it, you can really feel a primitive sense of mystery, and human beings are born in awe of mysterious things.
But it is undeniable that the natural scenery here is also absolutely first-class, because the natural self-defense mechanism of Heizhugou is so dangerous, there are almost no traces of human fingers here. Everywhere you look, you can see deep and quiet streams and strange-looking plants.
It is worth mentioning that there is a four-thousand-meter-high peak on the east side of the main peak of Heizhugou, the top of the mountain presents a three-edged shape similar to a pyramid, the reddish sunset sprinkles on the mountain, the towering peak is immediately radiant, and the mist between the mountains and forests is shrouded, we look up at the foot of the mountain, and feel like we are in a strange magical world.
"The scenery is so beautiful, I have the idea of being a hermit." Zheng Tian looked at the glowing mountain peak and muttered.
I thought it was funny, so I mocked him and said, "When there is no water, no electricity and no wifi, I think you still want to be a hermit." ”
"You are a pure secular vision, how can you be like us artists, who place their affection on the mountains and rivers, independent of the red dust......"
As soon as Zheng Tian said this, Ai Lanlin immediately interrupted coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, continue on the road." ”
Zheng Tian muttered in a low voice: "What a woman who doesn't understand the amorous feelings." ”
We walked forward for about a quarter of an hour, and no one said anything on the way, but just as we turned a stream, Zheng Tian suddenly patted me on the shoulder and said with a strange expression: "Chengzi, I seem to have found a problem. ”
