Chapter 3 The Second Departure
After the girl left, I couldn't help but wonder if it was the right decision, but then I realized that I had no choice. Those were my parents, and I was going to find them anyway, there's no doubt about it. If I was the one who was uncertain, I think they would be desperate to find me. Besides, I'm not a person who likes to regret it, and once I make a decision, I definitely don't want to go back easily.
The girl said that I should wait for her news, and during this time, I began to prepare myself to enter the door again.
I bought some books about survival in the wilderness, and then ran to the outdoor store opened by my elementary school classmates, and purchased more than 20,000 pieces of equipment in one go, and I also asked the turkey to call his second uncle who ran the boat, and brought me some "guys" back from abroad, the variety and model were determined by him, I don't know how to do it, just use it, this toss, my savings are almost spent.
Then I started making plans. I thought to myself, I must be fully prepared this time, and I must not allow myself to be as embarrassed as the last time I went in.
Two days later, in the afternoon, the girl told me that she had gathered a large number of people from her brother's shop and asked me to meet in the evening. After listening to this, I began to beat the drum in my heart, and said to the girl that I don't want waste, I want a master like Dadong, and the commission or anything is secondary! Also, what a mysterious place in that "door", you are so brazen that you reveal all the secrets, are you not afraid that something will go wrong?
When she heard this, she didn't scold back as usual, but giggled. The girl said, in fact, she was testing me by saying that just now, it seems that I am not a hot-brained fool, at least I can distinguish the stakes. In fact, she only found a total of three people, one was herself, and the other two were introduced by the leech man and asked me if I wanted to meet.
I thought about it and said that there was no need to bother, it was better to hurry up and get to know each other again when we had the chances.
In fact, I am actually quite relieved about the person introduced by the man, but I have never gotten along, and I always have no sense of security in my heart. After thinking about it, I took out a piece of paper from my pocket, followed the phone number left on the paper, and dialed it......
The departure time is set for a night at the end of the month.
I was afraid that my old man would be worried, so I signed up for a sunset red tour group for him before this and asked him to go around Hainan Island. The old man didn't suspect much, he just got on the bus to the airport with his front foot, and I called the girl with my back foot. The group soon gathered in the basement of my house.
A pair of eyes at each other, the girl exploded on the spot!
"Xiaoyangzi, why can't you trust me? Why are you looking for this person? The girl pointed to Xiao Rong who was sitting on a chair in the corner, with a resentful expression.
Xiao Rong was called by me, in fact, I didn't want to trouble him, but there are not many trustworthy people around me, I think I can't find a turkey, that guy is more cowardly than me, only clever when playing games, and I can't tell who protects whom after entering.
In fact, I always thought that Xiao Rong would be afraid to go to that place again, just like me, so I had a hard time making that phone call, but I didn't expect that after hearing my motives, Xiao Rong readily agreed. Having him here made me feel a lot more at ease.
"Come on, let's go back." The girl's face was horizontal, and she pulled the person she found to turn around and leave.
Xiao Rong didn't stop talking, and sat like a baby. I said yes! If you don't pull it down, Xiao Rong and I will go by ourselves!
Unexpectedly, when she heard this, the girl was stunned in place, she didn't leave, and she didn't stay.
I'm not a fool either. The girl dresses up on weekdays, and at first glance she is a rich lady, the kind who has absolutely no shortage of pocket money, how could she go out in person for the little commission I paid this time? I suspect that in her situation, either she is better at this bite, or she is ...... She entered the door for other purposes. But I don't care about that, and I don't want to care about it.
The girl's little face turned red, pointing at me and wanting to scold, but I couldn't scold a word for a long time. I sighed and stepped forward to pat her on the head, "Okay, we.are tired of logging!" You always scold people like the third grandson, this is not good, it will damage your ladylike temperament, you better save some saliva, we have to hurry up and get on the road. ”
When the girl heard this, she glared at me dryly and didn't speak. It's finally a compromise.
I looked at the two people introduced by the leech man, one of them wore gold-rimmed glasses, had a split head, looked very gentle, and the tone of his speech was a bit similar to the leper man, so I called him "Brother Glasses". I saw him walk up to the "Turi Gate" hanging on the wall, look at it, and keep exclaiming.
The blood words that the man wrote on the painting last time disappeared for some reason. I followed, handing the blood to the glasses. Then strap on your marching bag and get ready to go. I saw that the glasses took out a brush, and with a big stroke of the pen, as the man did last time, he wrote a strange word on the painting.
As soon as I saw it, I realized that the pressure was coming, so I closed my eyes and prepared to take it. But this time it was different, and after a long time, there was no reaction at all from the surroundings. I was about to speak, when suddenly I felt wrong, my center of gravity was tilted, my feet slipped, and my body fell heavily to the ground.
It didn't matter, I thought I just got up, but my body didn't listen...... Then, the whole person began to roll like a bowling ball.
What's going on? I panicked and immediately looked around and saw that everything in front of me was spinning, and it seemed as if I was rolling down a hillside.
I hurriedly reached out and pulled around, but I couldn't hold on to anything but mud. Heavy marching bags kept falling on me. I suddenly felt a pain in my head, and the back of my head seemed to hit something, but before I could react, I started to spin frantically again. It's like I've eaten Xuanmai chewing gum, and I can't stop at all!
I don't know how the others either. How the is this different from what was said! My head was in a panic, but I couldn't concentrate, and at this moment, my back hit a big tree hard, and I hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, and my feet fluttered hard, and finally stopped.
I clung to the trunk and felt dizzy and wanted to throw up. The moment I hit my back just now, despite the marching bag, it still hurt, and I almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. Lying on the ground, I couldn't move, I could only gasp for breath and look around.
The light in front of me was a little hazy, and I rubbed my eyes, dizzy for a long time, before I slowly realized that this seemed to be halfway up a high mountain. The surroundings are bare, with only a few cedar trees growing on the ground. I don't know if it's the same mountain we used to be when we last came, but it doesn't feel like it's because the last time the mountain was full of granite, and now this mountain is like a mound.
Covered in soft dirt and weeds, I rubbed my back in severe pain and sat up. It was sunset, and my face was facing the setting sun. The sun fell like a fiery red wheel on the meadow in the distance, and the grass warblers flew into a purple-brown touch of the setting sun, slowly extending towards the horizon.
I came in -- this was a fairyland.
When I left here, I never thought that I would come back one day.
"Girl! Rong Feng! ”
I looked around and shouted a few times, but no one responded to me. I said in my heart that I don't want to carry it like this! Why do you let me happen to this every time? It took me half a cigarette to slow down. Trying to get up, he patted the mud off his body. At that moment, a figure suddenly flashed through my vision. I looked at a familiar face, and then I breathed a sigh of relief—only to see the glasses brother walking in, with an embarrassed expression.
"How so? Didn't you say it was a cave when you came in? Brother glasses muttered gloomily. I looked at him and saw that he was in worse condition than me, the glasses on the bridge of his nose were gone, his clothes were torn in several places, and his face was covered in blood, so that he couldn't open his eyes.
I took out my first aid kit and handed it to him, and replied, "I don't know what the hell is going on, but the world in this door is already very strange...... By the way, where are they, girls? ”
Brother glasses shook his head, he wiped his wound with a disinfectant towel, grinning in pain, "What should we do now?" Looking for them? He asked.
I thought about it and said no, time is precious, and I can't waste it on such things as finding people. As I spoke, I took out a burning stick from my bag, polished it on the stone, stuck it in the ground, and then used a pebble to swing an arrow in front of the burning stick, pointing down the mountain.
The glow of the incendiary rod looked so bright on the blackened side that my eyes hurt from the sting. If Xiao Rong and they were also nearby, they would definitely be able to see this. But if you can't see it, it won't get in the way, I once agreed with Xiao Rong: once we get separated, don't blindly look for each other first, and then find a way to meet each other when we go to our destinations.
"Let's go down the mountain first." I said, "As long as I find the location of Xuanyuan Ancient City, I can probably find the direction." With that, I strode down the hill with my feet up. The man with glasses followed me, without saying a word all the way. I looked at him with my spare eyes, and said in my heart that this man looked weak, looking like a civilian man sitting in the office to work, and the girl said that he was a "master", where is the "high"?
It was getting dark, and the field of vision was shrinking, and all I could see was the mountain road and the large meadows in the distance. Brother glasses began to get very flustered and asked me what to do, I casually pointed in the direction and said that I would be able to walk a little longer and see clearly, so I continued to set off with my glasses.
Along the way, I pondered what the old man had said, and he said: My parents and they went to the "millet garden", so to find my parents, I must first find the millet garden.
And the last two sentences in the "Ba" say that Mizi Garden was built by Jing Lianhong somewhere in the ancient city of Xuanyuan. In my previous impression, the ancient city was huge, and the concept of "somewhere" was so broad that it was undoubtedly a huge obstacle for me. But at the moment, I have no choice, even if I turn this Xuanyuan Ancient City over inch by inch, I have to find it.
My mind kept thinking like electricity, and it didn't take long for me and Brother Glasses to come to the bottom of the mountain. The waning moon was like a bow, and under the dark blue sky was a vast meadow, the grass was more than a meter deep, and after walking out for about half a kilometer, I looked left and right, and saw that under the moonlight, there was a black and oppressive thing on the northern horizon.
I was happy when I saw it, it was the huge outer wall of Xuanyuan Ancient City!
"Look, I've found it!" Overjoyed, I pointed in that direction and shouted. People are strange creatures, and a few days ago I hated this place so much that I couldn't have escaped from it sooner, but now I want to rush towards that place right away.
I told the glasses to ask him to turn on the flashlight too, because the grass is very deep and there is probably something hidden in it, so don't think about the battery at this time. Glasses nodded, put the marching bag on his feet, and reached in to fumble for something.
I polished another incendiary stick and stuck it on the ground. It's a bit of a waste, but I still hope that they can see it. I was fiddling with my head down, when something suddenly shook in front of me, and then I only felt a hard smash in my calf, and it hurt so badly.
What is the heart saying? Looking down, my pants are on fire!
I grass!
I was immediately frightened and hurriedly slapped my trouser leg with my hand. The fire was not big, and I extinguished it all at once. It's just that a good cotton military pants were burned out of a hole.
Holy shit, what the hell! I was annoyed and cursed, only to see a black briquette-like thing hanging from my trouser leg. On closer inspection, it looks like it has legs...... Wait, it's still moving?
It's actually alive!
