Chapter 217: Living and Dying Together
The last time I received a call from Gao Lingkai, I rushed to Fangjiaao from Uncle Zhang's house, and the rope left in the first line of the ridge at that time was still hanging on the mountain rock. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It hasn't rained for the past few days, and the rope hasn't been corroded too much, and after Gao Lingkai and I found the rope, we tried it and it was still strong, so we climbed up in turn.
It was nearly dusk, and the two of us hurried on our way, but after more than an hour, we still had to turn on our flashlights and slow down to avoid forks in the road.
Fortunately, although the mountain road leading to Uncle Zhang's house was winding and narrow, there was no fork in the road, and at about eight o'clock in the evening, we finally arrived at Uncle Zhang's house safely.
The lights of Uncle Zhang's house have been turned on, and it seems that the SWAT team members arranged by Director Lei have arrived. I saw a figure standing outside the fence, as if waiting for us to arrive.
Before I could see clearly, the figure ran towards us first.
"Colliers! Colliers! ”
I heard her coquettish voice calling, it was Meng Xiang.
"Why are you here too?" I hurriedly reached out and hugged her into my arms as I asked her.
"I'm going to go into the mountains with you!" She said.
"How can this work?" I frowned and pushed her out of my arms a little, "Do you know how dangerous it is?" ”
"It's because of the danger that I'm going with you!" Meng Xiang said, paused, and continued, "Last time, I fell into the hands of those tribesmen and failed to live and die with you, this time, I want to make up for it!" ”
Of course, I was moved by these words, but the meaning behind them made me afraid to speak.
Because the last time I "lived and died together" was Zhang Xiaoyun, it was Zhang Xiaoyun, and it was precisely because of this that I couldn't give up on Zhang Xiaoyun.
Meng Xiang deliberately mentioned these four words, and it was obvious that the knot caused by Uncle Zhang still remained in her heart.
"Advisor Gao, Director Lei let us obey your command!"
Several SWAT team members greeted us, and by the light from the room, we vaguely recognized that the leader was none other than the Huang SWAT officer who had crossed the mountain with us last time.
SWAT Huang brought four other SWAT team members that I had never met, while Uncle Zhang's house only had four rooms. So Meng Xiang had to share a room with me that night. I held her in my arms and inevitably persuaded her to go back to Baokang early tomorrow morning and not to enter the mountain with us, but Meng Xiang resolutely refused.
"Don't be afraid of me dragging you back, I'm a woman, but I'm also the head of the criminal investigation section! I may not be as bold as you, but my marksmanship is definitely better than yours! She said so.
Her marksmanship is indeed much better than mine, and I am afraid that if I continue to say it, she will mention "living and dying together", so I can only close my mouth and sigh.
After a night of speech, we had a brief bite to eat the next morning, and then set off southwest, still finding the direction of the narrow cave first.
This is the third time I have walked this road, and the last time I have diverged twice, but this time it was smooth and I had reached the steep slope before noon.
The rope we left there last time is still there, but that was months ago, and it's rotten. So we tied two more ropes, and eight of us went down to the hole below.
I don't know if the white monster that attacked me last time in Fangjiaao has returned to the cave, but I have been prepared for it, and when I talked to Director Lei on the phone, I had already asked him to prepare a few special torches.
The eight of us lit four torches and let Meng Xiang walk in the middle, and the eight of us walked quickly to the other end of the cave together.
One of the SWAT team members first heard the sound of "Ding Ding Ding Ding", and I hurriedly explained that it was just the sound of the Eight Tone Stone, and a few tense SWAT team members put down their weapons and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
The four torches were burned out halfway through, and we lit the other four, almost as soon as we ran away. The first two times we had crossed the cave, it took us almost two hours, but this time, in less than an hour and a half, we had already come out of the other side of the hole.
The four special police officers didn't know what was strange about this cave, but Gao Lingkai and I, plus Meng Xianghuang, and the special police couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief. Presumably, the white monster either hadn't returned to the cave yet, or was afraid of the torches and didn't dare to appear.
Jumping from the cave into the valley to the southeast is the direction where Biroba and other tribes gather, and our goal is naturally to the northwest.
In the afternoon, I hurried to follow my memory, and when it was getting late, I successfully found the place where I had last encountered wolves in the mountains.
The place was sparsely populated with a few large trees, and to the west was a very steep, but not very wide, pinnacle.
How to go down the road, you must first climb over this stone peak, and Gao Lingkai and I can find it.
By this time it was already dark, so we had to rest under the rocks and wait for tomorrow morning before trying to climb the mountain.
The last time we encountered a wild wolf in this place, this time we naturally cheered up the spirit.
Gao Lingkai and I took the initiative to take on the first shift, and agreed to wake up five special police officers at twelve o'clock, and they would take turns to guard the rest of the time.
Meng Xiang was a woman, and she didn't want her to stay at night, but it was impossible for her to sleep, so she sat by the fire with us and whispered. On the contrary, Gao Lingkai was a little bored, and before eleven o'clock, he began to doze off again.
I knew that he was sleepy a lot, so I didn't care about him, and just gently hugged Meng Xiang. Although the two of them no longer spoke, the silent communication was more full of tenderness and sweetness.
But soon, I felt the danger approaching, and that tenderness and sweetness stopped.
"Something is approaching us!" I lowered my voice and said to Meng Xiang.
Meng Xiang let out a soft "ah", and hurriedly asked me in a low voice, "What is it?" Is it a pack of wolves? ”
"I don't know, but it's not wolves!" I replied.
As far as my feelings are concerned, it won't be ghosts or anything like that, because I just have a strong sense of oppression, not that feeling of a yin wind blowing through my body.
Meng Xiang also felt it, and said in a low voice: "It seems to be ...... Something is staring at us in the dark! ”
"Yes!" I nodded, slowly letting go of the hand that was holding Meng Xiang, and reached into my trouser pocket to grip the pistol, then looked in the direction where the staring was coming from.
There was no moon tonight, and it was pitch black as far as the eye could see. But I could clearly feel that in the darkness, more than one thing was staring at us.
Meng Xiang stretched out his foot and kicked the others awake, and the eight of them each clenched their weapons and waited. Those things in the darkness may have been intimidated by our momentum, and I felt the pressure dissipate and those few things quietly left.
"It's okay, they're gone!" I breathed a sigh of relief.
"What the hell? Why don't I see anything? "One SWAT team member said.
"What I experienced with Gao Li, you may not experience in a few lifetimes, so don't doubt Gao Li's judgment!" Gao Lingkai said unceremoniously.
"Not bad! Gao consultants have repeatedly been in and out of the mountains, and their experience is definitely much richer than ours! Special police officer Huang said that it could be regarded as handing his brother a step.
