Chapter 28: Departure is imminent
After recognizing that the row of numbers on the screen belonged to He Deputy, I couldn't help but wonder: He Deputy and Xiao Chen still have this kind of private contact? I remembered that when He asked me to take Xiao Chen, he told me lightly that Xiao Chen's father and he were old friends of comrades-in-arms, so it seemed to make sense, but taking care of the airborne troops is not new in the archaeological team, why should they be so mysterious? Moreover, Deputy He sent Xiao Chen this "26 has left, and it will be destroyed quickly." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 What does "info" mean?
I was suddenly interested, could it be some code word? …… This is obviously a code word, I looked at the text message time, and thought about it carefully, the date of sending it was the afternoon of the day when Deputy He led the team to leave the Liao Tomb, what was 26? Quick Destruction ...... And what is it ruined?
Maybe I was thinking about something, and my pace was obviously a lot slower, and the fat man saw that I was almost falling behind, so he turned back and patted me, "Hey? What do you think? ”
As soon as he reminded me, I came back to my senses and hurriedly put my phone back in my belt bag, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
26 is gone, and it is quickly destroyed.
I pondered the meaning of this text message for a long time, and then I really didn't have a clue, so I didn't go back to my heart, when I just heard Cha Si shouting, I looked in the direction of his finger, and found that there was a lot of green smoke rising from the depths of the shadowy trees in front of me.
Zhaozhao mist was wrapped in green smoke in that direction, and it made people feel indescribably mysterious.
I didn't expect this legendary and terrifying Yin Valley to be so easy to walk, and I found the location of the archaeological team after walking for a long time, and I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to rush towards the place where the green smoke curled, if I guessed correctly, it should be the place where He Deputy set up camp and worked.
It's almost to the destination, and a few people in the group seem to be in good spirits, but the more we rush to the smoke, the more we feel that the blood-red road under our feet is long and far-reaching, and I think of the saying that there is a dead horse running in the mountains, and I sigh in my heart. At this time, as the distance narrowed, a small hill gradually appeared among the ancient trees in the distance, I took a look, and hurriedly grabbed the fat man who was snorting and hurrying, pointed at him, and asked: "Look at the small hill in front, does it look like the one Uncle Wang told us about?" ”
The fat man stopped when he heard this, put his hand on the pergola and looked in the direction I was pointing, and said strangely: "Hey? Is there really such a mountain? I always thought it was Uncle Wang's old boy who made up stories to be scary. ”
When I was a child, I heard a story that the place where the six-person mud tile monk meat dumpling thief was at the foot of a lonely hill in the Yin Valley was the place where the gang of six people stole the hole, and now it seems to make sense. This Yin Valley is surrounded by mountains on all sides, if there is a mountain in the valley, and it is surrounded by water on all sides, it can be regarded as a feng shui treasure place for digging holes and falling into coffins. However, I don't know much about feng shui, after all, we national cultural relics researchers have received a modern rationalist education, and the set of feng shui burial records handed down by our ancestors is simply super mysterious knowledge for us. It's a pity to think about it, it is rumored in the industry that in the early days of the founding of New China, some tomb robbers in the north were very proficient in the feng shui secret art of these dragon points, and it was very handy to find those ancient tombs, but we, the regular army belonging to the country, could only rely on field investigations and mass reports to carry out work, and every time I thought about it, I felt angry.
Thinking of these inconsequential, I unconsciously glanced at Cailiu beside me, but seeing that her brows were tightly knit and her expression was heavy, I didn't ask her anything. After that, we walked in the forest for a long time, and it was not until about dusk that we saw a temporary tent that had been erected, which was the convergence with the archaeological team.
It is estimated that it was an exploration and excavation in the depths of the jungle that is rarely inhabited, so there is no cordon around the camp, but the strange thing is that a few of us are already very close to the tent, and we still don't see anyone walking around the camp, and there is no one walking around the campfire from a distance. I can't help but wonder if more than 20 colleagues are still in a meeting at this time when there is no movement at all?
I beckoned Cha Si and them to follow me into the camp, and as soon as I bypassed a tent, I bumped into Deputy Captain He.
"Ah, what a deputy." I hurriedly bowed, and saw that the leader had to serve the small, and besides, ...... I hadn't figured out how to tell him about the deaths of the rest of the team.
He saw that it was me, nodded, I saw that he was just about to open his mouth to ask me, but he swept the three people around me with his eyes, and his face immediately became gloomy, I was busy explaining to him about the employment of the land to guide into the mountain, and then I lied to him, saying that my father was not at ease, and insisted that my cousin would follow me to take care of me.
He didn't speak, and I found that his gaze was the same as last time, still wandering around Cailiu's body, probably assessing the colorful scarf on Cailiu's neck. Seeing that he didn't speak, I didn't say anything more, and it took a long time for He Vice to withdraw his gaze and refocus on me.
"Xiao Chen, what about them?" His tone was flat, but there was a gloomy and cold aura.
I knew that he would definitely ask, and my heart was still beating wildly when I heard him speak, but I really didn't know how to speak, but how could this kind of thing be regarded as child's play? After a little thought in my heart, I had to bite the bullet and recount the events that happened along the way in detail, as the leader of the team, I almost led the whole army to be wiped out except for me, and I didn't dare to look directly into He Vice's eyes during the whole narration.
He was silent for a long time, so long that I felt that my legs and feet were sore, and then I heard him sigh softly, and one hand was already on my shoulder.
"I know, Xiao Tang, don't blame yourself too much, I'll deal with the rest of the matter, you take a few of them to rest first."
I didn't expect Vice He to say a word without even saying a heavy word, patted me on the shoulder and turned away, leaving me in place, I couldn't understand how he could be so calm in the face of four lives in vain, and then when the fat man asked about the striking scar on He Vice's face, I suddenly remembered - yes, He Vice also experienced such a thing back then.
That night in the rain in the valley, I lay in the tent tossing and turning, my heart was filled with too many things but there was a feeling of breaking the jar, in the middle of the night somehow, but suddenly there was a familiar woman sobbing in my ears, I was afraid, got up and rushed out of the tent, as soon as I opened the curtain, I saw a woman standing outside the tent curtain.
I was so shocked that I almost didn't slap it, and I saw that it was Cailiu. She didn't have an umbrella or a poncho, and the rain slid down her white face, and I saw that she was soaking wet, and I was stunned, "What, what's wrong?" With that, I quickly turned sideways to let her into the tent.
Cailiu didn't move, only raised her head and stared at me faintly, I didn't know if it was rain or tears in my eyes, I was baffled by her, just wanted to ask again, but Cailiu turned her head and disappeared into the rain. I looked at the deep and dark rainy night outside the tent in a daze, and said to myself that this is all right, and I don't need to sleep at all.
