Chapter 20: Wading through mountains to find graves

My heart sank, and I vaguely felt that something was wrong, was it so coincidental? So he hurriedly asked him, "How long have you been there?" How could it not be contacted? What didn't they explain when they left? Didn't say where to go? ”

The fat man was beckoning the waiter to serve tea, and replied to me angrily, "Hmph, when will they notify you of something?" You are really, I heard my dad say that we went back to HN's hometown to run errands, let me not ask more, I advise you not to worry about it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

I suddenly felt bored, being a junior is indeed like this, thinking about it and sighing, the fat man saw me melancholy, asked me why, I only smiled bitterly and shook his head without answering, the fat man didn't want to see my virtue, so he didn't pay attention to me, he relied on the momentum of the head snake and the personality style of the self-familiar, and simply went to the dragon gate with Xiao Chen and a few of them.

I originally planned to stay in Daluo for two days, and at the same time to visit relatives and solve the matter of Cailiu by the way, but the thing was not done, and I was dragged by the fat man for two more days, the most headache for me is that before leaving, the fat man actually insisted on following us into the mountain.

"Anyway, don't you have to find a land guide, hey, you can just find me, and I can give you a discount, help you save some money, spend less taxpayers' money, and be considerate of the working public."

What the fat man said was so conclusive that it sounded like I had made a lot of money.

"Pull it down, you can't even figure out where to open the road to the Youluo Mountain Gate, and you still have a local guide." I didn't have the pissiness to mock him.

"Hey! Don't say it, it's not you Brother Ji and I brag about it, from Daluo to Fengshu, and then to Youluo Mountain, walking dozens of miles of mountain roads to Yin Valley, I don't know this distance, and no one knows it better than me. ”

"Hurry up and take a break from cooking, maybe we have to cross the border this time, and we have to find a professional to lead the way."

How can I be in the mood to talk to him about this, a colorful willow has already made me don't know what to do, and now if I add a fat man, what is this called? Yes? What should I say? Yes? Drag the family to watch the cultural relics unearthed? Isn't that a joke! And if you really have to cross the border between China and Myanmar, the relevant procedures are even more cumbersome, in addition to the official process, you also have to find local professionals who know a little bit of doorway to help, China is not a big problem, but Myanmar and Laos These countries sometimes you don't say, it is indeed very.

The fat man also wanted to talk about some nonsense that he was good at entry and exit procedures, and Cailiu on the side opened his mouth quietly.

"You don't have to leave the country."

I was stunned, and before I asked her why she was so sure, the fat man shouted blindly on the side: "Look, look, how can it be so troublesome, if you don't leave the country, you Brother Ji and I are even more handy!" ”

I rolled my eyes, ignoring the fat man, thinking that he was just a whim, I didn't expect him to move the real character, I hired a local guide for a few days without anyone taking the job, at first I thought it was Yin Gu Those terrible rumors were still shrouded in the hearts of the local people for a long time, and then I couldn't help but inquire only to know that it was the fat man who released the words, saying that if anyone dares to take my job, let no one eat and walk around.

What the am I ...... is really convinced of his own brother.

"Hey, look, I told you a long time ago, this Yin Valley, except for you Brother Ji, no one dares to go." The fat man has been with us for several days, and he is looking at me with a hippie smile on his face.

I couldn't help laughing when he was angry, and in desperation, I had to agree to take the fat man into the mountain together, so I brought a free laborer and thug, and if I asked, I would say that they were both the best local guides, believe it or not. When the fat man saw that I agreed, he was naturally ecstatic, and immediately said that the guide fee was free and directly opened a VIP diamond card for me.

In Daluo was delayed for a week, we then set off for Fengshu, in addition to me and Cailiu, Xiao Chen and the three administrators, the fat man also brought a sturdy and swarthy minority man, I didn't even bother to ask to know that this man must be the guide, although my cousin seems unreliable, Haikou will boast, but also self-knowledge, things are also done finely.

This Fengshu, not far from Taluo, the scale is pitiful, the population is not much, it is also the only place to enter Youluo Mountain, this place used to have the appearance of a village village, and later under the influence of national policies, the people of all ethnic groups who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains have gradually walked out of the mountains, and the prosperity of Fengshu in the past has gradually declined. We stayed in a small hotel on the side of Fengshu Street that afternoon, the hostess of the hotel was very enthusiastic about us, and she was busy working in front of and behind the house with tea and water, I thought she was not open for half a year, and the normal reaction of opening and eating for half a year, so I wanted to chat with her, and by the way, I asked if there were any changes in the rumors of Yin Valley in Youluo Mountain over the years.

"Boss, how is your business here?" If you are in business, of course, you should first care about other people's business.

The proprietress replied to me happily while tinkering with the tomato sauce in her hand: "What kind of business will we have in a small place like ours, isn't it like we are pretending?" ”

I heard her say that the business was bleak, so I should be able to remember what they were, this Fengshu is also a main street of dozens of families, thinking that they should have rested here, so I asked her if a team of people came a few days ago, and how long they would be advancing the mountain. I was thinking about timing and seeing how long I was delayed, but I didn't expect the proprietress to think about it and say to me.

"Huh? You really don't recognize, recently come to our store to prepare to enter the mountain is really a lot of Ka, just this month to now, there are three waves of people one after another, young man, you are also ready to enter the mountain? ”

"What? Three waves of people? I was stunned and asked with a surprised face.

"Yes, I remember it clearly, the first wave of people came to be four or five old watches, like you, how many things are carried in big bags and small bags, and I don't recognize what they are, all of them wear camouflage uniforms, they don't love to talk, and they only leave after two days; There are more people coming in the second wave, more than 20 cars are coming, there are many people and things, I can't stop this fall; The third wave behind them is a lone seedling, with a big hat with a black curtain on his head, ah, dressed in a ghost, pinching the eyes of the sun, I have seen it, the big white sky looks terrifying, listen to the voice is a woman, open the money to live for one night and disappear in the morning, and I don't recognize the death, it is you. ”

As soon as I heard it, I said that it was not right, according to what the boss lady said, Vice Captain He and they should be the second wave of people to come here, so who are the first and third waves? This area of Youluo Mountain is a hundred miles of primitive jungle, the country in the early years of door-to-door collection of shotguns after the ban on people to go into the mountains to hunt, the jungle periphery is almost all reclaimed to plant rubber, tea and other cash crops, so that there are fewer people in the mountains to make a living, not to mention that this is not Changbai Mountain DXAL those places, there is no thousand-year-old ginseng and the like, picking herbs This kind of thing even the locals do not do, let alone outsiders?

I vaguely felt that something was strange in my heart, but the proprietress couldn't ask anything about it, so I had to give up. At night, with the fat man and others planned the route and everyone rested early, I was bored in the middle of the night, got up and went out of the house to smoke a cigarette, as soon as I went out and found that Xiao Chen was also there, I saw him look flustered, I felt strange and asked him what was wrong, Xiao Chen Zhiwu didn't say refreshing for a long time, I was upset by him, thinking that he didn't take it to heart when he got up at night, and the next day just dawned, we set off towards Youluo Mountain.

At this time, it is the end of autumn, and the autumn on our side is not as meaningful as written in the poem, what yellow leaves are all over the sky, and the autumn is high and refreshing; On the contrary, this is the most poisonous and rainy season of the autumn tiger sun, the rainfall is not low, the primeval forest is still luxuriant, and the high temperature can really suffocate people, walking in the forest is to be prepared for all kinds of mosquito poisons, and the group is dressed more tightly, that feeling, it is impossible to speak.

The fat man and I are native-born locals, the body is completely endurant, the physique of the colorful willow is surprisingly good, even compared to me and the fat man are not inferior, the ground guide named Cha Si shuttles through the forest is even more vigorous, like walking on the ground; Xiao Chen and the other three administrative staff, several of them are from the mainland, who have walked through this kind of hot and humid rainforest on weekdays, and only walked more than ten kilometers into the mountains, all of them are pale and shaped like withered trees, especially the one who wears glasses is called Xiao Shen, who is so breathless that he can't catch his breath, and his face is extremely ugly.

I saw that his situation was not right, and I knew that it was not good, Xiao Chen's physical fitness was okay, so I asked him to take care of Xiao Shen, what I was most afraid of at this time was that someone fell ill in this place full of poisonous mosquitoes and poisonous snakes, and it would be troublesome.

I and Cha Si that guide the man all the way in front of the Yi knife to chop waist-deep weeds to open the way, the fat man with a wide back machete in the back to take care of, the first day to walk quite steady, at night we found a fairly open place to camp tents, I discussed with the fat man, at night on the two of us plus Cha Si or three people take turns to keep vigil, the rest of the people wait for a good rest. Everyone had no objection, and when the bonfire was raised, everyone ate some dry food, and the fat man kept vigil, and the rest rested on their own.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, it was rare to be clear, I tossed and turned in the tent and couldn't sleep, so I simply put on my clothes and went out of the tent, don't look at this primeval forest during the day, the temperature will suddenly drop a lot, the temperature difference is really tormenting, I saw the fat man cutting things in front of the campfire, so I also sat down.

"Why?" I asked him.

When the fat man saw that it was me, he wondered, "Huh? How? It's shift time? ”

I shook my head, "It's still early, if you're sleepy, I'll change you, I won't be able to sleep anyway." ”

The fat man smiled, and I saw that he was cutting a lot of thin and sharp pieces of bamboo, and when he was done, he stuffed one into his hiking boots, and he didn't ask any more questions, but lit a cigarette by himself.

"Hey, be honest, what's that girl's going to do?" The fat man shaved for a long time, suddenly thrust the dagger into the ground, and asked me. I saw that he looked serious, so I didn't joke with him, turned my head to look at a few black tents not far behind me, spat out the smoke ring, and whispered to the fat man what had happened before.
