Chapter 17: Lan's Black Knife
Chapter 17: Lan's Black Knife
I was going to ask Ah Fu what was going on with the fog. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Ke A Fu is a little flickering on this issue, as if there is something unspeakable and doesn't want to tell me. I looked at him and said forget it. With my relationship with He Tao, I guess their family won't embarrass me. Besides, they still have to rely on me to save He Tao, and even save future members of their family. So my personal safety should be fine.
Back in the car, call back the two cars that had gone out to set up the sentry, and we were going to find a place to camp first.
He Tao and their family are going to send someone over, and this north-south longitudinal span, three days is already the fastest. All we have to do now is find a place to settle down. Then we gave them our location, and then we waited for help.
But we're still in the desert as far as the eye can see. For this kind of area with a large temperature difference between day and night, if you can't find a suitable place, it can still be quite dangerous to camp at night. And it's just about the environment. God knows if there will be a few or more lion ants hiding under the ground where we are camping. If you're not careful, you won't want to wake up when you fall asleep.
I drove and looked for a long time. It wasn't unclear that we had only just entered the desert for a short time. If you turn around now, it should be too late to go back. But the fat man insisted again and again, saying that our route back would still pass through the area of the abandoned oil field just now. Moreover, even if we successfully cross the oil field, the lion ants after that will still be a big hidden danger. Take 10,000 steps back, even if we can find an area that bypasses parasitic wasps and lion ants. But He Tao's current state can no longer withstand such a toss. If we persist like this, not only will He Tao not be able to say anything. This is also a big test for our current material consumption. Don't wait until the destination has not arrived, the things in our car are consumed first. It's embarrassing for the to get out.
I listened to the fat man's analysis, and my heart was right. But looking at the current desert, within the range of the naked eye, there is no relatively safe place for us to rest.
"Let's find an open field." After a long time, the fat man said. "Three cars were used as shields to fence us off. In this way, even if there are lion ants moving in this area, they will not be able to hurt us for at least a short time. ”
I said in my heart that this is the only way to go. So he nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie, and made a decision.
I have to say, even if a few guys died. But the mood of the four people who were still alive didn't seem to be affected. Especially that foreigner. By the time we set up camp, Jay had already gone out for a walk with his camera on his shoulder.
This black man seems to have an almost mad interest in China. So much so that they have to ask us about everything. Just how a pair of chopsticks came about, he had to ask the ins and outs. I don't feel much about the dead people, but after all, there are dead people. This is called a disadvantage for teachers. I was a little irritable. Now I was asked by Jie like this, I almost went crazy.
Glancing at it, he found that the fat man was sitting not far away, wiping his gun. I gestured to Jay. Let him ask the fat man if he has questions, and bother me with less of them.
Jay is also an understanding person. Seeing that I was absent-minded when answering his questions, I also knew that I was not interested in him. So he shrugged his shoulders and patted me on the shoulder. Then he stood up and walked towards the fat man with the camera on his shoulder.
I looked at Jie's back, and then at He Tao, whose face was still pale. The heart said I, why did you kid invite such a chatter. Lao Tzu is fighting, not a press conference. And fucking slap me with a cannon - Fack.
After scolding He Tao for a while, who was still in a coma, I found that He Tao did not get better because of my complaints. I just gave up.
Not everyone in this world has superpowers, does he? There's no way I'm going to wake up with a chopstick and wave it twice at He Tao and then shout Balala energy. This person still has to be realistic. is like a fat man, who can't stand Jie's reluctance and then decisively kicks him away, and then concentrates on wiping his gun.
Although the fat man's doing this will damage the friendship between China and foreign countries, I appreciate the fat man's motherfucking if he doesn't agree. Your style.
After watching the fat man smash the black man for a while, I also got bored. I'm just going to find something to do. But when I looked around, I saw that there was nothing I could do. I just saw Lan sitting not far away wiping his black knife.
It's been a long time since I've played with Lan. My heart said. Then he stood up, patted the sand on his buttocks, and walked towards her.
Lan seemed to know I was looking for her. He didn't look at me, he was still busy with his own business.
I was a little embarrassed, and my heart said that you wouldn't let me sit here, and I wouldn't say a word. What does this make me?
"Is there something wrong?" Lan said suddenly.
Hearing Lan speak first, I secretly exhaled. The heart said that it was okay, and it was okay. Then he sat down next to Lan.
"It's fine." I say. "It's ......"
"What are they looking for you to do back?" Lan asked suddenly.
I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the fat man. The heart said that this dead fat man didn't have a door. Shake this thing out so quickly.
I laughed dryly: "It's nothing, it's just that He Tao's matter needs me to go over and help." ”
Hearing that it was He Tao's matter, Lan stopped. Look at me: "Are you sure you're going over." ”
I was stunned. How does it feel a little wrong to say this. Sounds dangerous.
"That place is a forbidden place for their family." Lan said. "I've been there once, and it's definitely not as easy as you think."
I'm a little nervous. I said that if it was easy, I wouldn't need my buddy to appear. But after thinking about it, it suddenly didn't feel right.
Lan has been there once? Damn, didn't Ah Fu say that it was full of fog, and all the people sent in by their family died in the fog? Why is it okay for Lan to go in? Oh...... Lan is not an ordinary person, and she cannot be measured by the standards of ordinary people. Thinking about it, I nodded. But I heard Lan continue: "I came out just by luck. There's a lot of stuff in there that you can't think of right now. ”
"What, there's still a monster in there? Big brother? I smiled and looked at Ran. I found Lan staring at me calmly.
"Uh...... What's inside...... What's wrong? I hurriedly changed my tune.
"That area is a primeval forest."
"I've been to the forest too, although it's not primitive. But at least it's close to the original. "I said." What else? ”
"Yunnan is the border." Lan said. "What does the border mean?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Let's go. Private? ”
Lan looked at me and gently spat out two words: "War." ”
I was stunned: "Huh? I don't know that we've been at war with those small countries in the past few years. Where did the war come from? ”
"That area is a remnant of war." Lan said. "It was full of mines and bombs that hadn't fully detonated."
No way. I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously widened my eyes to look at He Tao lying on the ground: "This and this, this ......"
"That's just one of the difficulties. The point is, there's one more thing in there. When I came across that thing, it was the size of a cat. ”
"Wildcat?" I asked.
"It's not." Lan shook his head: "I haven't seen that creature, I don't know what it is." I followed it all the way back to where it was hiding. There, I saw something. Lan paused when he said this: "As long as you go to this thing, you will definitely see it too." ”
I was a little surprised. Lan would never say that. She said this as if he was very sure I was going. And not only that, but she was pretty sure that I would come across that so-called "thing." ”
"What the hell is that thing?" I asked.
"You'll find out when you go." Lan said. After speaking, Lan stretched out the black knife in his hand in front of me: "Take it." ”
I was stunned again. This knife is inseparable for Lan. It's only been on my hands once. It was when I was under the Ximatang Mausoleum that I lost consciousness under the influence of that crystal orchid. When I woke up, I had Lan's black knife hanging from my waist.
I looked at Lan and hesitated to take it: "You gave me the knife, so what should you do?" In my expectation, Lan smiled slightly after hearing my words. Then he took a few more from his pocket and put them in front of me, and said, "Come buddy, eighteen dollars." Eighteen yuan can't buy clothes, can't eat, balabala...... "But the truth is that I think too much." This black knife of Lan is unique. At least in my case, I haven't seen the same second one.
Lan didn't speak, and the black knife just lay in front of me. There is no intention of taking it back.
To be honest, I think this black knife is far more useful in Lan's hands than in my hands. In Lan's hands, it is a sharp weapon that can be attacked and defended. It is not an exaggeration to say that Lan and the human sword are one. But now you're going to lend it to me...... I think its greatest use is to open a path in the primeval forest.
"That beast is dangerous, come back alive." Lan said.
I took the black knife in front of me, still a little hesitant: "Then or not...... Come with me......"
Lan stood up and glanced at the sun that had been slowly hidden beneath the dunes. "You have to learn to solve the problems you encounter on your own." You can't rely on me every time. And I can't be there for you every time. ”
I was stunned: "So where are you going?" But as soon as I said that, I didn't feel right. Lan and I seem to be doing inverted things. But I don't feel like I'm in the same line as Ran. She has a world of her own, and I can't bother her at all.
"There will come a time." Lan said. "You won't know now, but you will understand then. Why you need to be on your own. With that, Lan was about to walk away.
I looked at her back, and a rush of blood rushed to my head. I don't know where I got the courage, but I stood up and shouted at her: "I will go to the place where you dare not go, and prove it to you!" ”
Lan's figure trembled slightly, and then returned to his previous appearance: "I'll talk about it when you have the ability." ”
It was getting darker, and the temperature was dropping as the sun was setting in the west. The fat man also cooked dinner at this time, and beckoned us to hurry over and eat.
I was secretly relieved to see that Lan didn't have any other expression because of what I just said. To tell the truth, I had long made up my mind to bite into the top of that snowy peak and see with my own eyes the man lying on the burial platform. What I want to know is why Lan is so obsessed with that person. I also want to know why Lan never had the courage to go up after putting him on that. It's all like these puzzles right now. I'm going to fucking have to figure it out.
Dinner was a boiled compressed biscuit mush. But this time, because we still have plenty of supplies. Especially foreign military personnel like Jay. In their rations, canned meat or other food was actually plentiful. Although the fat man kicked him during the day, it did not affect the fat man's behavior of plundering his supplies. So in the compressed biscuit paste, I was surprised to find a series of foods such as beef, green beans and so on. And that's something we haven't had before.
"Come on, come on, try the Western food made by the fat man!" The fat man looked extra proud.
I don't understand why I boiled a meal in boiling water like a Western paste, which is a skill that anyone can do, and fat people can have so much confidence. But then again, with the things that the fat man plundered, this meal was indeed much better than before.
After we had eaten enough, the fat man assigned the order of being on duty at night. Then they went back to their tents and went to sleep.
Lying in the tent, I couldn't sleep for a while. I'm going to take out my phone and play games. But after taking it out, I looked at it, I, there was no signal. And the power is not particularly much. Although the team brought a power bank, it was also for emergency use. The game I used to play was clearly out of the box. And I'm pretty big now. When the leader takes the lead in playing the game, this effect seems to be a bit unpleasant. After thinking about it, he sighed secretly, and said in his heart that forget it, let's sleep.
We were so crowded, so it wasn't my turn to work that night. It allowed me to get a good night's sleep. But the pain on my foot began to hurt faintly, and I didn't sleep well after tossing and turning all night. It was only at dawn the next day that I fell asleep in a daze. And just before I went to sleep, I seemed to hear someone talking outside my tent. And it sounds, it seems to be a quarrel. (To be continued.) )
