Chapter 32: The Past I Don't Want to Recall
Seeing that I was stunned and didn't speak, Daddy Boba forced me to ask, "Say it quickly!" How do you know? ”
"I ...... I was just...... A man named Zawang told us. ”
"You're lying! How do you know? Tell me honestly, or ......not," said Daddy Boba, turning his head to the Tibetan mastiff that was crawling to the side looking at him, "Dorjee-"
Hearing his master's call, Dorjee immediately erected his mane and bared his teeth and roared at me.
I've seen this formation, and I can't help but have another urge to urinate.
Lu Dachuan stood up with a "huh": "We really heard what people said. ”
Lu Keqin grabbed my arm, and tears were about to fall.
Lu Dachuan told us about the strange things we found in the small hotel and the things we found in Zawang later.
The expression on Daddy Boba's face softened, and he turned around and stretched out his arm to touch Dorjee's head. Dorjee licked his master's hand and crawled on the ground, his chin resting on his front legs, his eyes half-open and half-closed looking at the ground.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and raised my hand to wipe the sweat from my forehead.
He looked at Dorjee for a while, and when he turned his face back, Daddy Boba's eyes were full of tears.
Lu Dachuan said: "Daddy ......"
Daddy Boba waved his hand at Lu Dachuan, and then wiped away his tears.
Lu Dachuan wanted to know what had happened, and he didn't know whether to ask if he wanted to comfort the old man, and he didn't know what to say when he saw the old man's sad appearance. The mood of those of us here is similar to that of Lu Dachuan.
Fortunately, Daddy Boba didn't let us wait too long, and after a short silence, he took a sip of wine from his bowl and said, "Actually, Nima Midu is not a specific place name, but a synonym for a region, and in your Chinese dialect, it is probably a place that the sun does not want to reach." As far as I know, the place you are looking for is in this area, and conversely, it is that mysterious place that gives that area such a terrible name, even the sun does not want to go, how terrible it must be! ”
"Daddy, why do I get more confused the more I listen?"
"That was a few decades ago, I remember that the time is about the same as now, it is also the height of summer, one day a team of people came, saying what kind of scientific expedition team, to Baoyu last year to investigate, need a few experienced guides. At first we didn't know exactly where they were going, and there were a lot of people who wanted to go - you know, sometimes we met rich bosses, and the last time the mountain was very profitable - and then we heard that it was to find a cave related to aliens, and no one wanted to go. Because for many years, there have always been people looking for those caves, but no one who goes has a good end, and we locals have long been afraid. Unable to find anyone willing to go, they kept adding money, and when the pay was so high that we couldn't even think of it, some people were moved, and finally after screening, seven people were selected, all of whom were top-notch hunters from several nearby townships. Have you ever heard that the seven best hunters are guides for a team at the same time, not to mention the expedition team itself, in terms of the combat effectiveness of a few of them, I can't imagine anything that can defeat them, but in the end they ...... Only three people escaped, my Abba, one in Sohurima Township, and one in Dari County. The one from Sohuri Ma Township died the night he returned. The one in Dari County was crazy when he heard about it, but then he didn't know the details. My Abba ...... three days later," said Daddy Boba, whose tears flowed down his eyes again, "I was supposed to go, but my Abba replaced me when I was leaving...... After escaping back, I didn't see the two of them, but I was ...... It was as if he had been burned on a fire, his whole body was charred, his eyelids and lips were gone...... I asked him what had happened, and instead of telling me, he made me swear to never ask what had happened and never to look for Nimamidu! ”
After Daddy Boba finished speaking in great pain, he poured himself a bowl of wine, took it and drank it all: "It is the thing, with their death, that place has become a secret, and I have not heard of anyone finding it for so many years. ”
After listening to Daddy Boba's story, I was both surprised and worried, and I was surprised that Daddy Boba said that the expedition team from decades ago was probably the team that stole the sacred stone; The worry is that the place is so dangerous, and we have just come out of the ghost gate, are they willing to risk their lives again? I thought about going to see everyone here, and I saw that they were expressionless and bowed their heads and did not speak, and I didn't know what they were thinking.
"Isn't it too selfish to risk someone else's life for your own sake? Alas...... Leave it to fate! I said to myself in my heart.
After a long while, Lu Dachuan broke the silence: "The harvest here at Daddy Boba is much bigger than I expected, but it is not a happy harvest. That's good news, bad news! The danger of that place was clearly beyond all of our expectations. To be honest, I was really afraid that you would give up this expedition along the way just now, but now I don't think so, and you don't have to force it if you don't want to continue. After waiting for a few minutes and seeing that no one expressed his position, Lu Dachuan said, "I know that everyone is scared and curious, but in fact, I am the same." We don't have to rush to make a decision now, think about it, and talk about it in the evening. ”
"Okawa, let's talk about your own decision first, we also have a number in our hearts." Liu Fashan, the oldest, said.
"What do I ...... I can tell you very clearly that I didn't think about giving up from the moment I saw the purple light in the cave in the woodland of Zheng Shuang's house. ”
They whispered. Lu Dachuan said to me and Liu Peng: "I'll go out for a walk with Daddy Boba, you should think about it." ”
"Well, go ahead."
"I'll go too." Lu Keqin stood up. Liu Peng hurriedly pulled her and winked at her. Lu Keqin didn't understand what he meant, but she still sat down obediently.
Lu Dachuan invited Daddy Boba: "Daddy Boba, let's go out and breathe." ”
"Let's go." Daddy Boba stood up.
The two of them followed each other and walked out. Dorjee came on, stood up, stretched, and walked out.
When they walked out, Lu Keqin asked Liu Peng: "Why don't you let me go?" ”
Liu Peng asked rhetorically: "Your brother went to discuss things with him, what are you going to do?" ”
"Oh......" Lu Keqin understood.
Walking out of the pastoral bag and looking at the snow-capped Nianbaoyuze Mountain in the distance, Lu Dachuan thought to himself: Without the help of Daddy Boba, we probably wouldn't even be able to find the approximate location of Nima Midu, let alone those mysterious caves, but how can I convince Daddy Boba?
"What are you pondering?" Daddy Boba took a step forward and stood side by side beside Lu Dachuan.
"Daddy, I want to ......"
Daddy Boba raised his arm to stop Lu Dachuan: "Let me guess, what method are you trying to use to convince me to stand with you!" ”
"Daddy, what are you going to do?"
"I'll tell you the truth, although I made a vow to Abba, I have never given up my search for Nimamidu for so many years. I've found its exact location a few years ago, and even went in and walked back and back, do you know why? ”
When Lu Dachuan heard that Daddy Boba had found the specific location of the ancient gate, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, thought for a while and said, "Do you think there is no chance of winning?" ”
Daddy Boba glanced at Lu Dachuan appreciatively: "How sure do you think you are?" ”
Lu Dachuan shook his head: "Yicheng is not." ”
"Then why are you still so persistent?"
"Abba, what do you think is the meaning of life?"
"I can't say that."
"Let's talk about it smaller. What do you think is the purpose of your life? ”
"In the past, I thought that Abba's health, Zhuoga's happiness with his children, and the health of cattle and sheep were all the meaning of my life, but after Abba's accident, ......" This is Boba's father who realized that he had fallen into Lu Dachuan's trap, "Haha, you kid is very ghostly, and you are kind and kind!" ”
Lu Dachuan knew that Daddy Boba was moved by him, and he also smiled and said, "Thank you, Daddy, for the compliment!" ”
"Yes! Once something happens, if you don't end it, you won't be able to live a day without it......"
"Daddy, you're willing to help us!" Lu Dachuan said happily.
"Maybe I'm hurting you!"
"I'm going to tell them that we've identified the personnel first, and we're discussing what to do next." Lu Dachuan turned around and strode back to the pasture.
The atmosphere inside the bag was a little dull, and more than a dozen people did not speak with serious faces.
"Good news for everyone, Daddy Boba knows the exact location of that place, and he is willing to take us there."
Hearing Lu Dachuan say this, I was so happy that I almost jumped up, but I saw that the others were still expressionless.
Lu Dachuan didn't seem to see it, but still said with great interest: "Now let's determine the people who are willing to continue, and then discuss the next course of action." Those who don't want to go can leave at any time, and if we are lucky enough to come back alive, I will contact you as soon as possible. ”
As soon as Lu Dachuan's words fell, Jiang Ping stood up and said, "I'll quit." Immediately afterwards, Zhao An also stood up and said, "I will also quit." ”
"Good! Who else? Lu Dachuan looked at the rest of the people, and seeing that no one spoke, he said, "Those who don't speak are willing to stay, I thank you in advance!" ”
Lu Dachuan raised his head and looked at Jiang Ping and Zhao An who stood up and said, "I'll ask you to send you to Jiuzhi County, and then you can take the car back by yourself." ”
"When I came with Lao Cai, I drove my car, and I had to drive away." Jiang Ping said and glanced at Zhao An, "If he can't go, he can take my car." ”
Lu Dachuan nodded: "That's it." ”
Jiang Ping hugged his fists at everyone: "Good luck to you!" Zhao An said: "There will be a period later!" ”
The two of them turned around and walked out.
"You wait." Lu Dachuan stopped them, turned to look at Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er, who were sitting next to each other, and said, "You two take his car to the county seat, and then take the car back." ”
"I didn't say quit!" Lin Xian'er looked surprised.
"Brother, why are you in charge of us?" Lu Keqin shouted.
Lu Dachuan ignored his sister, and he said to Lin Xian'er: "Go back, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you then." ”
"Dachuan, you are underestimating us women when you say this, I have followed you out several times, why did I let you take care of it!?"
"I've already experienced life and death once, and you know that this time is different......"
"Okay, you don't have to say it, I'm such an adult, I know what I'm doing."
Lu Dachuan was choked by Lin Xian'er and had no choice but to turn his face to his sister and say, "You follow them!" ”
"You don't have the right to dictate for me, and I know what I'm doing!"
"Let's go—" Lu Dachuan yelled at his sister.
"Don't go!" Growing up so big, her brother has never been so fierce to Lu Keqin, and her tears flowed out.
The brother and sister are at a stalemate, and I don't know how to persuade them.
After a while, Lu Dachuan softened, and he said softly to his sister: "You have grown up, and my brother has no power to make decisions for you." But have you ever thought that if our two children are ...... together? How do you let our parents live! ”
Hearing her parents, Lu Keqin was not so hard, and she wiped the tears on her face: "I listen to you." But you have to promise me that you will bring you back alive. ”
Lu Dachuan nodded firmly, and tears flowed down his eyes. Lu Keqin hugged Lin Xian'er, turned around and hugged me tightly, and choked in her ear, "You must come back alive!" Then he stood up and hugged his brother for a long time.
"Alright, let's go back. Remember to listen to your parents in the future. Lu Dachuan caressed his sister's head lovingly.
Lu Keqin let go of her brother: "You have to remember what you promised me." ”
"I won't forget."
"Take care, everyone!" Lu Keqin said to everyone, and then walked towards the outside of the pastoral bag with a firm gaze.
"Has anyone quit yet? It's still too late to go! Lu Dachuan asked everyone again.
"No retreat!"
"No retreat!"
……
After everyone expressed their attitude, Lu Dachuan asked again: "Does anyone have anything to explain?" I'll ask Koqin to bring it back for everyone. ”
"Don't worry, Okawa, we don't all make all the preparations in advance every time we go out." Liu Fashan said.
Lu Dachuan nodded.
At this time, there was the sound of a car engine outside, and Lu Dachuan walked out of the pastoral bag. We walked out after him. Jiang Ping's car had already walked out of a large section, and we watched it disappear next to the ridge.
"It's something they've left behind." After the car disappeared, Daddy Boba, who was standing aside with us to watch Jiang Ping and them leave, said.
We turned around and saw a bunch of things next to Jiang Ping's parking. Cai Zhengdong walked over and inspected it and said, "All the equipment and food and medicine we brought. ”
"Everyone, help pack them into the cars." Lu Dachuan said.
We went into battle together and cleaned up in a few minutes. Then he returned to Mubao to discuss the specific matters of going to Nima Midu, but he didn't expect Jiang Ping and them to have an accident as soon as they turned around the ridge. Of course, that's an afterthought.
