Chapter 17: Departure
"Just in time!" Lao Yang suddenly shouted frantically, "Everything is still in time!" Since your grandfather has lived there for decades, even if he loses the light source, I think he will survive! We must act immediately and immediately enter the bandit cave and rescue your grandfather! ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be excited. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info My grandfather is still alive! This thought kept popping up in my mind, repeating this sentence in my mind, I really had to act immediately, every second counted, and I, as his grandson, could not sit idly by and watch after learning the truth of the matter! After decades of struggling alone, even though he had committed the sin of abandoning his wife, he had already redeemed it!
I excitedly shook Lao Yang's hand and yelled at him:
"We really should go into that cave right away and rescue my grandfather! Have to! Right away! I'm going to prepare the equipment! ”
With that, I slammed out of the room, running around thinking about what I had to do next. First of all, I should go to the bank and withdraw a sum of money, although the store in Chongqing has all kinds of caving equipment, but I don't have time, I can't go back and forth again, in this case, time is of the essence. Although there is no special outdoor store in the county, I can buy substitutes, within a day, I have to prepare all the supplies, ropes, climbing picks, descent gear, scuba, compressed food, waterproof backpacks and other caving materials and equipment, I have to get these things in one day, can not delay any longer, thinking that my grandfather is alone in the unknown darkness, I am anxious like an ant on a hot pot. Even if I can't get a complete set of equipment, but I try to do as much as I can, many things can actually find a way to find a replacement, as long as there is rope and food, there is a flashlight and other main equipment, I try to buy the rest, time, time is the most important ah.
Like a mad dog, I ran around the small county town, and it wasn't until noon that I bought a backpack of supplies. Unfortunately, I couldn't get my hands on scuba and couldn't do anything if I needed to dive. However, according to Lao Yang, my grandfather entered the depths of the bandit cave alone, and he didn't even wear clothes, only a bottle of mineral water filled with cave fireflies as a lighting tool, and I guess he couldn't enter the cave where diving was needed. I carried a waterproof backpack weighing dozens of pounds, and hurriedly walked to the hospital, and as soon as I entered the ward, I saw Yang Xue packing up her things there, and she was putting something in a backpack. I frowned, walked over and said to Lao Yang:
"I've bought everything I should have bought, and those that I really can't buy have relative substitutes, but I'm in a hurry, and I really can't get diving equipment."
Lao Yang had already changed into outdoor clothes at this time, sat on a chair, and said to me expressionlessly:
"I don't think we need the diving equipment in it, but we have to prepare a few sets of life jackets, and we may have to face an underground river that cannot be passed, so we need to wade into the water. Also, find a way to go to Mr. Yin Yang to get some rune paper or something, which is used to shock ghosts, and there will be zombies in it. ”
As soon as I heard about zombies, I remembered that according to Lao Yang's description, the old man surnamed Zhang, whose ancestor was born as a corpse chaser, would indeed use corpses to make zombies, but this matter is too, so many years have passed, even if there are zombies, can they still be alive?
Still, to be on the safe side, I went to a street fortune teller and spent a hundred dollars to ask him to draw me a dozen so-called exorcisms, and I don't know if it worked. I've read in novels that it is said that the most effective artifact to restrain zombies is the black donkey's hooves, but in this small county town, there are very few horses, let alone donkeys, and where to get black donkey hooves for a while. I simply went to the gas station and bought two bottles of gasoline, saying that if I did encounter a zombie, I would just pour gasoline and burn it to ashes with fire.
I went to the sporting goods store to buy a few more life jackets and hurried back to the hospital. As soon as I entered the hall of the hospital, I saw that Lao Yang and her sister Yang Xue were already sitting on the rest chair in the hall waiting for me.
Lao Yang told me that his sister was going to follow us, so that the three of them could form a team, and asked me to hurry up and stop a taxi at the door, and then set off immediately, saying that at night, we might not be able to get in.
I asked Lao Yang what he meant, why he couldn't get in at night, Lao Yang ignored me, it seemed that he was really anxious, not like he was pretending. I saw him walk to the road outside the hospital, stopped a taxi casually, and beckoned me and Yang Xue to get in the car quickly.
When I got to the car, Lao Yang told the driver the name of the place, in fact, I also know that place, about 30 kilometers away from our village, is a border town, a Miao settlement. I first called my family and told them that I was going to stay with my old classmates in the countryside for two or three days to catch up and so on, and my mother complained a few words and agreed. I put down the phone and wanted to ask Lao Yang about what happened just now, but after thinking about it, I better get out of the car and ask again, so as not to make the driver think that we are all insane.
The road to the town was very difficult, along the only river in the county, all the way up, the road was in disrepair, potholes, we sat in the car, jumping around, made me a little motion sickness. After more than an hour, the bumpy car entered the town, Lao Yang commanded the driver, asked the other party to drive the car a little more inside, and then passed through the town, entered a country road, swayed for more than ten minutes, and finally stopped in a deserted place.
I got out of the car and looked at the terrain, our location is at least a thousand meters higher than the county, and I obviously feel that the temperature is a lot lower, fortunately it is summer, and I don't feel cold. The neighborhood is full of majestic mountains, which are undulating and majestic. There are also very deep ravines in the mountains, as well as some cliffs, which are unfathomable when viewed from afar. This area is full of mountains, and even arable land is rare, probably a natural forest farm, I don't know if there are any forest guards.
Lao Yang didn't talk nonsense, let Yang Xue look at the time, and turned into a mountain path, let us keep up with his pace, saying that at this time, it was already very late, and when it got dark, we might not be able to enter.
I was about to ask Lao Yang why he said this, but at this time, Yang Xue suddenly interjected and said:
"Look over there, it looks like there's someone staring at us all the time!"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but follow the direction pointed by Yang Xue, and when I looked at it, I saw that on a stone halfway up the mountainside, there was a person standing, stunned, like a statue. And, for some reason, the man was staring at us intently, as if staring at our tip. (To be continued.) )
