Chapter 262: Shadows
After several hours of trekking, everyone finally arrived at the end of the trip - Qinhan Village. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Standing on the top of the dangerous mountain peak, what catches your eye is a piece of green mountains and green waters, Qinhan Village is surrounded by towering and steep peaks, and at the foot of the peaks is a wide and flat basin.
The basin is a very regular circle, with a deep pool of water in the center, two jade ribbon-like rivers, one east and one west, dividing the basin into two, and the valley is lush and lush, lush and lush, dotted with flowers and plants.
Everyone was stunned by this unique natural beauty, and immediately felt that the hard work along the way was worth it. The tiredness of the long journey was also swept away.
Although he has seen the whole picture of Qinhan Village on the satellite map, Ziyang has also introduced many situations in the valley before. But when he saw everything in front of him, Su Rui couldn't help but exclaim softly. Standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking the picturesque scenery at your feet, there is an illusion of being in a fairyland.
Xiaoli was even more excited to shout next to her, holding the camera in her hand and clicking and shooting.
Ziyang took a sip of mineral water, leaned on a mule, and breathed a long sigh of relief. Although Ziyang and Lao Wang entered the mountain for the second time, after a year of earthly experience, they still have a feeling of relaxation and joy when they return to this paradise that is indisputable with the world.
Ziyang pointed to the bottom of the valley and said, "See? On that side is where the villagers live, and when we go to the villager's house to have a meal, we will camp at the edge of the village at night. ”
Everyone followed the direction of Ziyang's finger and saw that in the shade of green bamboo, a corner of several farmhouses was faintly exposed.
Brother Chic stroked his hair and sighed, "I have been to the Crescent Spring in Dunhuang and the Sun Moon Lake in Ali, but these places are not as beautiful as this pond in Qinhan Village!" Alas! With such a good natural ecology, it would be nice if it could be developed into a tourist resource. ”
Zi Yang glanced at Brother Chic: "There was someone who had the same idea as you before, and then ......" Zi Yang said here and suddenly paused.
"What happened next?" Brother Chic asked with interest.
"Then he was arrested!" Lao Wang scared him beside him: "Young man, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't understand what you shouldn't understand!" ”
Because he knew that Ziyang had a "special purpose" for this trip, Lao Wang also wanted to give Brother Chic a preventive shot in advance.
Brother Chic was snatched by him, and his white face was a little unnatural, Su Rui saw all this in his eyes, and felt that although Lao Wang was also well-intentioned, his words were too straightforward - but it was okay to say it clearly as soon as possible, so as to save the time when Brother Chic continued to be "curious" and caused more embarrassment and inconvenience when everyone was exploring.
"Let's go! Hurry down the mountain, and when the fellows are about to start cooking, it's a bit troublesome for us to miss the meal and then find something to eat! Zi Yang saw that the time was not early, and urged everyone to leave.
Lao Wang's words just now made him wake up from this beautiful scenery. I remembered that at this time last year, the strange tragedy that happened in Qinhan Village.
Just because of a single curiosity, the fate of four people changed forever.
The tragic deaths of Qin Ruilin and Jin Xia touched him a lot, and it was also the first time he had witnessed death up close when he was so old. Two people in the prime of their youth were scattered overnight, and how fragile human life is in the face of nature.
And Chen Ruixi, the initiator of all this, must not be able to escape the punishment of the law, and perhaps he will spend his next life in remorse and guilt.
And the poor innocent girl Wang Juan, the last time they got the news that Wang Juan had been greatly stimulated and had gone insane, and they didn't know where she was now, how she recovered.
However, none of this was important to him anymore, and the most important thing now was to find the connection between Qinhan Village and the map of the Twelve Chapters. This is also the ultimate purpose of their trip.
Zi Yang knew that the twelve chapters of the map in his hand had decided the fate of many people.
He didn't believe in such things as pulses and qi numbers. But Xiao Hei's future, Ah Chong's life and death, and even Professor Zhang's conspiracy are all closely related to these twelve chapters of the map. Perhaps there is more at stake behind this.
Thinking of this, Ziyang's mood instantly became extremely heavy. Everyone saw that his face was not good, and they did not dare to provoke him again. I thought this guy was still angry about Brother Chic and Ye Beili's "uninvited".
On the way, Lao Wang had already taken the initiative to "admit" that he had "forcibly" abducted Brother Xiao and Xiaoli without telling Su Rui and Ziyang, and Lao Wang was not doing this very authentically, and even Ye Zhiqiu and Ye Beili had been kept in the dark.
It's okay if he doesn't say it, everyone is embarrassed when he picks up this matter, and Brother Chic didn't expect that he did his best all the way, but it turned out to be a "superfluous" existence.
Su Rui also felt that it was a little inappropriate to let Brother Xiao know that he deliberately "excluded" him, especially after he had done so many things for everyone, and then told him that "this matter is not your share", which made people even more unable to get off the stage. But the real reason for this can't be explained to him, so I have to hope that there will be a chance to compensate him in the future.
Brother Chic is a more generous person, and he didn't bother with anything because of this. After all, he has seen the world, he is the president of the student union, and his emotional intelligence is also high.
But Xiaoli has been unwilling to give up after knowing the truth, she didn't go to Lao Wang's trouble, but chased after Ziyang, chattering and asking him: Why don't you take us when you come out to play? Aren't we qualified to be your friends? What am I sorry for you? Why are you always targeting me? ……
was bombarded by her standing on the moral high ground, Ziyang was overwhelmed, and finally agreed to help her buy a month's breakfast before Xiaoli was willing to give up.
With this episode, it is not lonely to walk on the road. Seeing that Qinhan Village was at the foot, as long as they went down the mountain, they could camp and rest.
From the beginning of the morning to the present, everyone has only eaten some snacks and drank some water, and has not eaten a serious meal. Hearing Zi Yang say that he was about to miss the meal, everyone was also anxious to speed up the journey, lest Zi Yang would take instant noodles and biscuits before they could eat dinner.
It's just that it backfired, and the more you tried to hurry, the more you couldn't go fast. Probably because no one walks around all year round, the already rugged and narrow path is blocked by dense bushes, which greatly increases the difficulty of everyone walking.
Lao Wang volunteered to open the way in front, using a sharp folding shovel to cut off the thorns and branches that stood in the way, so as to facilitate the movement of the people and mules behind.
Zi Yang had to admire Su Rui's meticulousness and thoughtful preparation, when he first saw the item of sapper shovel on the shopping list, he still felt that it was too much, but now it seems that Su Rui was prescient, and this "shovel blade" can help them a lot.
Even so, the faces and hands were sore from the vines and branches. After learning that this was the only way in and out of the valley, everyone lamented the isolation and backwardness of Qinhan Village.
But think about it, if it weren't for such conditions, this paradise would have ceased to exist a long time ago.
I finally walked through the jungle to the foot of the mountain, and the vision in front of me finally opened up. The people led the mules slowly into the village. Closely, scattered dwellings can be seen looming under the lush greenery.
Walking on the tree-shaded village road, everyone feels the breeze blowing, and the whole body is extremely refreshing, and there is such a good place in the hot summer, which makes people feel like they are in heaven and earth.
It's just that the more Ziyang walks, the more dignified his expression becomes-why is the village so quiet?
The last time I came, because of martial law, although it was also very quiet, there were still curling smoke and curious villagers, but now there is no one in sight.
The weeds on the side of the road jumped up more than a meter high, and the bluestone paved path was moss-stained, as if no one had walked around all year round.
When I walked into the house, I also saw that the doors and windows of each house were closed.
Zi Yang stopped vigilantly and turned his head to look at Lao Wang and the two looking at each other.
Su Rui also asked softly in confusion, "Were you so weird last time?" ”
Zi Yang shook his head, "The situation seems to be a little wrong. When he said this, Xiaoli and Xiao Xiao couldn't help but look nervous.
Zi Yang gave Lao Wang a look, "Go, knock on the door and ask." ”
Lao Wang nodded, walked to a house, patted the door with his hand, and shouted loudly, "Fellow, come out, we don't grab food." ”
Lao Wang's voice came far away in the air, and strangely no one answered the door.
Lao Wang walked a few steps and knocked on the doors of several farmers, but there was no response. I had no choice but to look back at Zi Yang and the others helplessly, and spread my hands, indicating that I had done my best.
Zi Yang coughed and gave him a look secretly.
Lao Wang nodded to show that he understood, circled around the wall of a house, looked at a place where he was handed, and turned into it neatly.
"Hey, you, is it appropriate for you to casually break into someone's house like this?" Xiaoli frowned and looked at Ziyang dissatisfied.
Everyone can see that Lao Wang is the culprit who trespasses into the house, but Ziyang is the one who "controls" Lao Wang behind his back.
"It's okay, don't worry, Lao Wang runs fast. Ordinary people can't catch him. Zi Yang said nonchalantly.
Xiao Li stomped her foot angrily, "You, you're such a bastard!" ”
After a while, Lao Wang turned out of the same place again, scratched his head and walked over with a confused expression.
"How? What are the folks doing at home? Ziyang asked with concern.
"It's strange, there is no one at home, the doors and windows are all brought, and there are no locks, the furniture in the house has fallen a layer of dust, and no one lives in it for a few days!" Lao Wang looked puzzled.
Zi Yang frowned, walked to another house, and pushed it casually, and the door actually opened. It seems that the people in Qinhan Village still don't have the habit of locking the door.
"Fellow ~ Fellow ~ Is there anyone at home?" Ziyang stood in the courtyard and shouted by pulling his neck.
No one answered.
Zi Yang walked to the main house, carefully pushed the door, and the wooden door creaked open.
Zi Yang poked his head in and shouted softly, "Hey, is there anyone at home?" ”
"Whew", suddenly a black shadow rushed towards the door in front of him, Zi Yang was shocked, subconsciously shrunk his neck, and the black shadow flew straight out from the top of his head.
