Chapter 12 Deep Mountains and Old Forests
I slept very unsoundly, and I kept having all kinds of nightmares. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 By the time I struggled to wake up from my dream, I found that it was already noon. The fat man and the thin monkey had already woken up, and they were rushing to tell Cui Linghong about some of the things we encountered last night.
Cui Linghong estimated that he already knew eight or nine, and when he saw that I woke up, he waved his hand and signaled the fat man and the thin monkey not to talk first. Then I saw her pull the car to the side, open the door and beckon me to sit in the back with her. Change the fat man to drive, and the thin monkey sits in the co-pilot.
When I opened the door and got out of the car, I realized that I would have left the modern city a long time ago. Outside the car is a dense jungle, and the car is bumpy on the rugged rocky path. I guess the nightmares I had nothing to do with the bumps in the car. Looking at this, I slept a lot. There are few people here, and if it weren't for Cui Linghong's military Humvee, I guess our group would have to hike into the mountains. It seems that if Cui Linghong is not very rich, he must be very powerful, and he can even get military cars.
When the car started bumpy forward again, Cui Linghong was unusual, and said slowly with a very serious expression: "Before I go in, I have to talk about some things." Archaeological activities require a very serious attitude, and it is better not to have the same impulsiveness as you did before. The four of them are fully armed, and the three of you dare to clash with them head-on. No accidents, nothing short of miraculous. There are a lot of mechanisms in the tomb, so don't touch anything without my permission. ”
I saw that this little lady was obviously smaller than us, but she wanted to be preachy, and she was a little unconvinced at the moment, and said with a smile: "Don't say four heavily armed people, even five or six buddies, I am not afraid." "I am very confident in what I say, although I have not seen much of the world, but I have always been very conceited about my skills.
"Comrade Zhao Boling, don't have personal heroism. No matter how good your skills are, even if you block ten with one, it is useless. Because now we are a team, a whole, and your heroism will kill us all. She paused, and seeing that I didn't refute, she continued: "Before we left, we agreed that the three chapters of the covenant were agreed, and the two of you also nodded and agreed, so you won't regret it now." ”
"If you say it, you have never regretted it, Captain Cui, you can put one hundred and twenty hearts." Before I could speak, I was sold by the fat man, a man who goes out without a brain. Come on, this time it's a coolie and a thug.
The thin monkey sat in the co-pilot, looking preoccupied, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and he probably thought that the three chapters of our covenant were the same as what I told him, so he didn't refute it.
The car bumped through the mountain road for most of the day, and finally stopped when it was almost dark. As soon as he got out of the car, the fat man rubbed his ass and shouted: "Damn, Lao Tzu's ass is about to crack into three petals." If it weren't for the first time driving a Humvee, I would have stopped my car. ”
Since the thin monkey got out of the car, his eyes have never left Cui Linghong. was woken up by a slap from the fat man, and then asked, "There is no road ahead?" It's still far from where I've been? ”
"It's getting dark, and this deep mountain forest is not suitable for night travel. I think we'll rest here tonight, and we'll leave tomorrow at dawn. Cui Linghong looked at me as he spoke, obviously asking for my opinion.
I looked around and saw that there was basically no way to drive any further. Because there is a cliff in front of it, and there are high mountains on the left and right. It is indeed dangerous to walk at night in such a rare inhabited deep mountain forest, so I nodded.
But when we looked for a camp to rest at tonight, we found several brand new camping tents. The tents were arranged in a circle, and there was a bonfire in the middle that had not been extinguished for a long time. The fat man circled around the tents, waved at us, and said, "No one has noticed, is it possible that someone has set up a tent for us in this ******?" ”
"Looks like we won't be able to rest tonight, but it doesn't matter, we've slept in the car for so long anyway. I think everyone is in good spirits, and it shouldn't be a big problem to hurry slowly. "The fat man is very arrogant, seeing that I suddenly changed his hexagram, he decided to hurry up now, and his eyes were glared, and it is estimated that if he could beat me, he would have come up and fight with me a long time ago. I ignored him and continued, "I didn't expect someone to get ahead of the curve." But I'm curious about who is the person who is ahead of us? Looking at these tents, it is obvious that they are not ordinary tomb robber gangs. Because there are some modern detection equipment in the tent that are very high-tech for ordinary people. Could it be the gang who came to snatch the dragon jewel box before? ”
"I don't think it's far from ten, but who are they? What is their purpose? How did they know this information? Cui Linghong asked a series of questions thoughtfully.
However, we have no way of knowing the identity and purpose of those people. But the information about this place was learned from the skinny monkey. At that moment, the eyes of the three of us looked at the thin monkey in unison, although we also denied in our hearts that this information was leaked from his mouth, but we couldn't find a way for the other party to know the source of this information.
Seeing us staring at him in unison, the thin monkey was so frightened that he took two or three steps back before hurriedly waving his hand and saying, "Why are you looking at me, I'm in the same boat with you now, and I've never told anyone about these things except you." ”
"And what about before you found us?" The fat man rarely asked a fairly high-level question, and for a person with a simple mind with developed limbs like the fat man, being able to ask this sentence has proved that even he knows that this matter is a bit tricky.
Actually, I'd rather believe Skinny Monkey, even though the experience he told us had turned our worldview upside down. A person who has been asleep for three years and can wake up is already violating the biological laws of nature as we know it in common sense. But I didn't think it would do any good for the skinny monkey. What's more, if it was really the person who came to rob the goods, since they could know that the dragon jewel box was in my hands, it would not be difficult to learn some information here.
"I don't think the information here is revealed by the thin monkey, if it's really them, it's not surprising that they can find this place." I saw that the thin monkey was almost anxious, and hurriedly said. We haven't even entered the mountain, and we have begun to be suspicious of each other, which is much more threatening than the group in front of us. Of course, I also have an abacus in my own heart, although the thin monkey can't be fully trusted, but at least I am confident that I can control him. But Cui Linghong, who is standing next to us, I can't see through it at all, you must know that only me, the fat man and her know about the dragon jewelry box, and even the information here is also an insider. If we must doubt who among the four of us revealed this information, Cui Linghong's suspicion is undoubtedly greater.
When the fat man saw that I excused the skinny monkey, he didn't say anything more. Among the four of us in our group, I can hand over my back to him without any worries. It's just that this thing's brain is too dull, and I still have to rely on myself in case of emergency.
Cui Linghong is a smart person, and when he saw me excusing the thin monkey, he already understood what I was afraid of, so he said: "I don't think it looks like the thin monkey did it, I'm afraid that at least half of the purpose of this group of people is the same as ours." So it's not surprising that they know the information we have, and it's not impossible that they know more than we do. ”
"This group of people shouldn't have gone too far, and the embers here still carry warmth. If we pick up a little bit of speed, we should be able to catch up with them. It's just that before we know who the people in front of us are, I think we'd better cheer up. Before the tomb was entered, it was handled by someone else. As I spoke, I motioned for the fat man to go to the car to get their gear.
Cui Linghong distributed a backpack to one of us, because the fat man had already carried a backpack, so the extra backpack was left in the car by us.
