Verse 74 It's the Valley of Lost Souls again
When I returned to the col with dry food and water on my back, I saw Sui Jiankai holding a long sword against the saved machete, and Dong Yanping standing on the cliff, ready to jump down at any time.
When the three of them saw me return, they dropped their swords and sparkled in their eyes.
"You're back!" Saved complained to me, "If you don't come back, I'll eat your girlfriend!" ”
I took dry food and water out of my backpack and divided them among everyone.
Sui Jiankai and Meng Desheng snatched the yak jerky and began to gobble up the cold water in the skin, and I took the tsamba to Dong Yanping to eat.
She sobbed quietly while eating tsamba, and I hurriedly comforted her: "It's all because I'm late to come back!" ”
Sui Jiankai was also gobbling up, but he threw a questioning look at me, I understood what he meant, so I responded: "I have already met Teacher Shangguan, but Murong Ying is still trapped in the town, there is no danger to his life, the kidnappers' meaning is very clear, if they can't receive the crystal skull, they will definitely not let people go, if we call the police, he will tear up the ticket!" ”
Meng Saved swallowed the beef in his mouth and asked me, "Why do the kidnappers want a crystal skull, do you know where to find it?" But in my experience, you just gave the kidnappers a ransom, and the kidnappers may also tear up the ticket! ”
I didn't argue, Sui Jiankai asked: "What kind of kidnappers are this, why do you kidnap Teacher Shangguan and Murong Ying, and ask you to find the crystal skull, where can we find the crystal skull?" I still didn't answer.
When they had eaten and drunk enough, we set off on our way back and arrived in the Valley of Lost Souls when it was dark.
There was only wind in the valley, and Sui Jiankai said to us: "We can't just find a place to spend the night in the valley, we must find a safe place to shelter from the wind." ”
I opened my backpack, took out a wolf-eye flashlight from it, and said, "I know of a cave that is relatively safe inside!" ”
Dong Yanping followed closely behind me, and I took her hand and began to look for the cave I had fallen into.
The mud on the hillside had dried up, and there was a cave in the hollow, but when we entered it, we found it a mud pit.
Our shoes and trousers were covered in mud, but I opened my backpack again and found a folding sapper shovel inside, so I started shoveling the mud from the cave and clearing a way to the depths of the cave to dry out a bit.
Sui Jiankai asked me, "There won't be rats and bats in this cave, right?" ”
Saved said: "Even if there is, I am not afraid, if they dare to come out, I will catch them and roast them!" ”
The cave** is empty, there are no rats and bats, and we can spend the night here with peace of mind.
Putting down the backpack, I carefully checked the contents of it, and Dong Yanping took the wolf's eye flashlight and said, "I recognize this backpack, it belongs to Teacher Shangguan." ”
There was also a somewhat damaged tent in the backpack, which I recognized as Murong Ying's, so I took it out, and there was also a pair of night vision binoculars inside, which was also Shangguan's teacher's.
Dong Yanping quickly set up the tent and went in to rest.
Sui Jiankai and Meng were saved, and they could only sleep outside the tent with their backpacks on their pillows.
I slipped into the tent and lay down next to Dong Yanping, who could be seen in the broken part of the tent, and when I was saved, I said to me: "Don't make trouble, if you want to do something, you will have to wait until we leave here!" ”
Dong Yanping lay in my arms, pillowed my arm and whispered to me: "If you come back a minute late, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me!" ”
I was busy asking her what had happened?
She replied lightly: "We are all going crazy with hunger, and I am willing to jump off the cliff if I am saved and want to kill me to relieve my hunger." ”
The mother is a Tianzhu sect, and she is saved, and she actually wants to kill her companion to satisfy her hunger, this kind of behavior is too terrible.
However, I understood this, so I said to Dong Yanping: "He is different from Sui Jiankai, he still has to go back to see Miss Qin alive, so he is naturally unwilling to starve to death." ”
Dong Yanping asked me, "Then what are our plans next?" ”
I said: "Get out of here first, then form an expedition and start the search from the junction of Yunnan and Tibet, mainly at the intersection of the three provinces. ”
She sighed: "The area we want to search is so wide, I'm afraid that we won't find it at all if we don't have ten years or eight years!" It's really not possible, only to use special powers! ”
I fell asleep with her in my arms, and I slept very soundly and didn't dream.
When we woke up on the second day, we packed our bags after using our dry food and water, and walked out of the cave and down the Valley of Ecstasy, which was covered with a layer of mud that covered the dead animals and bones on the ground.
We were not moving slowly, and Sui Jiankai and Meng Saved looked to the ground as they walked, as if they were looking for something.
The two of them stopped suddenly, took out their swords and machetes, dug a travel bag out of the dirt, and opened the zipper, which contained some change of clothes and a storage battery.
This is the bag we lost in the panic, and the change of clothes is Dong Yanping's, so when we rest, she went into the tent to change.
After dark, we used the battery to charge the wolf's eye flashlight.
This valley of ecstasy is too long, and it is impossible to walk out in a day.
When we woke up the next day, we moved on.
At this time, the weather in the valley has become milder and more normal, and there is a white bone tower at the exit of the canyon, but this white bone tower has been knocked down by a frightened yak.
When we reached the end of the valley the next evening, we found a hillside full of fist-sized holes.
Dong Yanping immediately asked me, "Are we going in the wrong direction?" ”
I said, "No way, we're going back from the end of the Valley of Lost Souls, if we go in the wrong direction, will it take us so long to get to the end?" ”
When he was saved, he asked, "Is it true that both ends of the Valley of Lost Souls have become the same?" ”
Dong Yanping turned on the wolf's eye flashlight and said to everyone: "If we go in the wrong direction, we will definitely be able to find the cave on the hillside where we once stayed overnight!" ”
But to our surprise, we actually found the cave, and we also saw the garbage we left behind in the cave.
"What the hell!" Salvation began to question and complain.
Sui Jiankai said: "Now that it's dark, we will spend the night here, and when it dawns tomorrow, we will find the right direction!" ”
However, our dry food and water were running out, and we set up our tents, and Dong Yanping and I went in to sleep.
Meng Saved and Sui Jiankai picked up the night vision binoculars and the wolf's eye flashlight and went to the entrance of the cave to inspect.
There was a hook moon on the top of the mountain outside the cave, and the two brothers climbed to the top of the mountain, looked outside, and kept flashing lights with wolf's eyes, but no one responded outside the mountaintop.
When they returned to the cave in despair, I asked them, "What are you two doing?" ”
Sui Jiankai sat down against the cave wall and said, "Before I came here, I had ordered the members of our expedition team to rush here to meet us, but they never arrived, could it be that they were blocked outside the Valley of Lost Souls?" ”
Meng was saved and said: "How is it possible, if Zheng Jiakai and they find Dechang, will they still not be able to find the Valley of Lost Souls?" I'm afraid they won't dare to come. ”
