The rising sun takes away the cold of the night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the compound of the county government, it is not yet time to go to work at this time, but many people are already standing here, including Jianjun and Liu Laodao. In addition, County Magistrate Hu also led a lot of people to stand here, including young men in military uniforms, middle-aged men wearing animal skins and carrying shotguns, and several middle-aged men dressed as ordinary people with dark faces.
"Comrades, the few people in front of you are the scientific research personnel sent by the central superiors to work, your task is to bring these people back safely, everyone's task is very important, you must bear in mind your own duties, these studies have very important long-term significance to the party and the country! So everyone has to complete this mission even if they sacrifice their own lives! No matter what kind of sacrifice you make, the party and the country will firmly remember your contributions! On behalf of all the people of Ebian County, I would like to ask you! After County Magistrate Hu finished speaking, he bowed deeply, and the few people who had just been fooled by County Magistrate Hu also bowed back with excitement on their faces. If you don't know what you really think, Jianjun will definitely be moved, but now, it's not.
A somewhat old small truck, with all kinds of supplies on it, as well as some more precious items such as canned bacon, everyone sat in a circle around the supplies, and kept rising and falling with the car on the bumpy path.
"Uncle, I don't think you're very old, why did you come with us? I heard that the inside of Heizhugou is very evil, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out? Jianjun asked the black-faced man beside him.
"I'm afraid, how can I not be afraid, I've been collecting medicine on the edge of Heizhugou since I was a child, and I've never dared to go in, this time it's not a person, and there are also a group of experts like you, not to mention that as long as I accompany you in, County Magistrate Hu will let my two sons be soldiers!" Why don't you think I'm going to follow? The black-faced man said innocently.
Jianjun became silent directly after listening to the words of the black-faced man, and it can be seen from these few words that this man is very real, he is an authentic farmer, but just for the sake of something that is not very big in his opinion, he risked his life to fight, is it too child's play? Or, is it too inconsiderate for himself and Liu Laodao to follow Master Shi Di's words and come to such a dangerous place?
The car didn't drive much, the road ahead is getting more and more difficult to walk, obviously, it is into the mountain, and then go further, it is estimated that the car will not be able to enter, and then it can only rely on people on foot, several soldiers on the truck, began to pack the materials on the car with their backs, the backpack is very large, in the eyes of the Jianjun, the big ones can put themselves in, but the three soldiers will be full of back packaging and then directly on the body, but it does not look the slightest difficulty.
After about half an hour, the car began to slow down slowly, and after a while, the car stopped directly.
Everyone jumped out of the car one after another, three strong soldiers carrying a large amount of supplies, while two mountain runners opened the way in front, and two Orion guardians in front of them, a group of thirteen people marched forward in an orderly manner.
Jianjun followed everyone to a relatively high position, only to see the mountain runner's knife cutting the bushes in front of the road quickly. Because it is an absolute barren mountain area, there is no road to walk at all, and everyone can only move forward slowly, and it is particularly important for everyone to clear a road by the mountain runner who opens the road.
Everyone walked and looked around, and it was strange that there were thirteen people in the team, but no one spoke or chatted.
Huang Jushi in the team had been holding a shabby cowhide map in his hand, and Liu had been standing with Huang Jushi, whispering from time to time, but unfortunately everyone couldn't hear what they were saying.
About a morning, until noon, the group walked into the depths of the mountain, the shrubs began to decrease, until they disappeared, replaced by all kinds of tall trees, and animals, Jianjun also saw a giant panda, but it was very afraid of people, and immediately ran away when it saw everyone.
"We'll be in front of the Sancha River soon, we can take a break!" The eldest brother of the Yi nationality said to everyone.
Everyone found a flat ground and sat on the ground, a soldier took out food from his backpack and distributed it to everyone, everyone sat on the ground to rest while eating, fortunately this morning was not very fast, almost all of them stopped and stopped, so everyone was still able to eat.
"Brother Yi, how long will it take for us to get here?" Huang Jushi took the cowhide map in his hand and asked the mountain runner.
"This is Wulong Ridge, this is the forest farm, as for what you said! At our pace, it will take at least two and a half days. The little brother who ran the mountain looked at the map and said to Huang Jushi.
"However, this Oolong Ridge is located in the area of the Ghost Tui Mill, which is very dangerous, and it is said that there are python spirits and all kinds of beasts that are very mixed, and it is a natural labyrinth. I haven't been there either, but my father did visit a few years ago, so I think you should be prepared. The little brother looked at the map with an ugly face, but he didn't have the slightest fear.
When everyone heard the words of the mountain runner, they were not afraid or afraid, after all, they were ready to sacrifice at any time before coming, and Liu Lao Dao and everyone were even more serious, they were all Taoist priests or laymen with some real materials, and no one would worry about what the mountain runner said.
After resting for about half an hour, everyone got up and continued on the road.
In an open space ahead, green trees grew on both sides, the ground was covered with tender green grass, and a few hares were startled away by the footsteps of the crowd, and as far as the eye could see, it was like a paradise.
"Further on, there is the Sancha River, the scenery is very beautiful!" The mountain runner said to the crowd as he led the way.
All the way forward, Jianjun looked at the surrounding cliffs and steep canyons, which had a unique taste.
Everyone walked all the way, and encountered two lone wolves on the way, but seeing the large number of people, they did not come forward, but ran away very wisely. Enjoying the beautiful scenery all the way, while walking, if there are still important things to do, everyone feels that it is almost like a spring outing.
Towards evening, everyone finally walked into the upper reaches of the Sancha River.
"Further on, the stone gate is closed! Shall we camp here? The little brother of the Yi nationality who ran the mountain opened his mouth and said to everyone.
"It's at least an hour before dark, wouldn't it be better for us to walk forward?" Liu Laodao asked.
"When I entered the stone gate, I didn't see anyone alive. This Shimen Pass is the most mysterious place in the whole Heizhugou, few people come, and few people can get out of it, the terrain inside is too complicated, it is best not to go inside at night, rest assured, we have time during the day. The old hunter, who had not spoken, spoke.
"Is this stone gate so evil?" Jianjun said with some doubts.
"There are many legends about this Shimen Pass, but most of them have no basis, but what the older generation said can't be unbelievable, many young descendants have gone in and have not come out." The old hunter said absentmindedly.
