Chapter 33: The Valley of the Gourd

After sending Lu Keqin away, we returned to the bag, Daddy Boba opened a box, went in with both hands and fumbled for a while, and took out a delicate package of things as big as a basketball but not as round as a basketball and put it in front of us.

Lu Dachuan didn't think so, he said: "Dad, this won't be ......"

"Yes!" Daddy Boba's eyes lit up, and he opened the package layer by layer, "This should be the holy stone you are talking about." ”

"Oh my god!" My heart pounded like someone had kicked me.

When the package was fully opened, I saw a bright black stone with mysterious patterns carved into it.

Lu Dachuan picked up the holy stone with both hands, looked at it for a while, and handed it to me.

"It's so heavy!" I took it in my hand and weighed it, not ten pounds, but also seven or eight pounds, "They are not big, but they make a key but it is like a bomb, where should they put it when they go out?" ”

Lu Dachuan gave me a fierce look: "Just you talk a lot of!" ”

Daddy Boba was here, and I didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so I closed my mouth and looked at it again and again, but I didn't see anything famous.

After a few people passed it on and read it. Lu Dachuan said: "The holy stone is there, and the local Boba father also knows it." Let's rest for the night and leave early tomorrow morning, what do you think? ”

Lu Dachuan looked at it and was discussing with everyone, but his tone was ordering.

So, the next morning, Daddy Boba arranged the affairs of the house, took the sacred stone and a secret weapon that he said would be of great use, and we set off.

Lu Dachuan drove the Land Rover Defender, which was scratched by wolves and had his "face", driving at a speed of eighty yards on the vast grassland; Daddy Boba sat in the passenger seat next to him, and Liu Peng, who was sitting in the back seat, leaned sideways slightly, holding Dorjee's restless head with both hands; Because I was afraid of Dorjee, I was on the other side of the back seat not so much sitting in the seat as hanging on the door.

After traveling for about half an hour, according to the guidance of Daddy Boba, the convoy did not run up the mountain but ran into a deep canyon, Lu Dachuan asked curiously: "Dad, didn't you say that Nima Midu is on the sacred mountain, we are now running farther and farther away from the sacred mountain!" ”

"It's on the sacred mountain, but that gate is at the bottom of the gourd valley."

"The cave is on the hill and the entrance is at the bottom of the valley? Why can't I understand? ”

"You'll know when you get there. I promise it's even more amazing than the ones you've seen before you come. Daddy Boba smiled mysteriously and hugged the sacred stone in his arms even tighter.

The old man didn't say anything, and Lu Dachuan didn't want to ask questions, so he had to drive the car fast, hoping to arrive at Hulu Valley as soon as possible to see what could be more magical than the strange things we had already seen.

The car walked forward for a while, and Liu Peng, who had been sitting in the back without squeaking, spoke, and asked, "Dad, what kind of place is Hulu Valley, why haven't I heard of it before?" ”

Daddy Boba laughed and said, "Of course you haven't heard of it, because I gave it to me." ”

"You got it!?"

"Yes! That was a few years ago. Papa Boba looked into the distance and fell into memory, "I used all my hunting and guiding opportunities to find Nimamidu in the past few years. One day while hunting, I tracked a ram sheep, and when it fled to the south of Mount Kinabalu, it ran up a particularly dangerous hillside. I didn't pay much attention when I chased up, and when I climbed halfway up the mountain, I found that the guy had led me up a cliff, and the more I went up, the more I couldn't find a solid relay point, and it was impossible to go back the way I came, there was no place to tie the rope, and I would fall down if I took a step backwards. ”

"What happened?" Even though Daddy Boba sat in front of him unharmed, we still sweated a lot.

"Gritted his teeth and climbed up." Daddy Boba's fingers twitched faintly twice, as if the fatigue and thrill of that time were still lingering in his fingertips.

Liu Peng said with some envy: "That dad's freehand rock climbing skills must have reached the world level." ”

"Freehand climbing? You mean the kind that comes on TV? ”

Liu Peng nodded.

"Haha, I don't dare to compare with others."

"And later?"

"I climbed to the top of the hill and saw that the other side of the hill was steep, but it was much slower than this one, although it was also steep. So I untied the rope from my waist, tied it firmly to a raised rock, and went down. After descending about 20 meters, I felt that something was wrong in the valley, and if I looked closely, I found that the large and small stones at the bottom of the valley were all black, and they seemed to glow black. Twenty meters lower in doubt, the rope was almost at the end, and I stood firm on a protruding stone platform and looked carefully to the bottom of the valley...... Guess what I saw? ”

Thinking that Daddy Boba had seen some monster, our hearts were lifted high. "What?" Liu Peng asked.

"Yak, wild yak. I've lived on the plateau for most of my life, and I've lost count of the number of wild yaks I've seen, but the one I saw at the bottom of the valley saw far more wild yaks than I'd seen before. I wondered, what attracted them? After observing for a long time, I finally discovered the secret, it turned out that there was a half-sized calf that had been hung on the innermost stone wall of the valley by some unknown reason, several meters from the ground. I was even more curious, how could a calf hang on the bare stone wall? Or is it far away, something I don't see? Thinking to myself, I untied the rope from my waist and walked sideways down the hillside into the valley. When I walked up to me, I found that what I saw was right, there was indeed nothing on the stone wall, but how could the calf? I looked more closely, and soon I saw this ......," patted the stone in his arms, "and the whole wall was as flat as a knife, except for the one that was half a man high, and it was unusual to see such a stone protruding from the height of half a man." I wanted to go down and have a look, but the restless yaks at the bottom of the valley saw me with red eyes and roared, and I thought they were going to hurt their cubs, and they didn't turn me into a hornet's nest and then into a pulp. Staying on the hillside, I was in a hurry, but then I raised my shotgun and shot it at the raised stone, and then a miracle happened, and at the same time that the stone fell from the stone wall, and the calf fell with a bang. ”

We both listened with straight eyes, and even Dorjee was much more settled.

The calf entered the herd unharmed, and at last the herd quieted down and slowly retreated out of the valley. When they were gone, I went down to the bottom and finally figured out what was going on! When I walked out with this stone in my arms, I found that the whole valley was gourd-shaped, so I gave it the name of gourd valley. Daddy Boba said this, smiling and shutting his mouth.

"Finished?"

"It's over!"

"You haven't said what's going on?"

"Haha, I just said it, you'll know when you get there."

"How can there be such a sell-off!" Liu Peng expressed dissatisfaction.

At this time, the car, which had been driving smoothly all the way, suddenly bumped sharply.

Daddy Boba stretched out his hand to show Lu Dachuan the way: "After this rocky beach, go to the root of the mountain, turn around and see the ridge and you will arrive." ”

Lu Dachuan slowed down and tried his best to avoid the large stones. As soon as the car passed the rocky beach, the direction turned from southeast to northeast, Lu Dachuan immediately noticed something unusual, pointed to the distance on the right side of the car and said to Liu Peng: "Liu Peng, look, what is that?" ”

We climbed onto the rear window glass and looked in the direction Lu Dachuan pointed, and clearly saw a high dust belt on the horizon in the distance.

"It's finally here!"

Daddy Boba also saw it and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"We were targeted when we came, I thought I was getting rid of it, but I didn't expect ......"

"I don't think it's good! It's almost time to get to the place, and it's impossible to get rid of them at such a short distance. Daddy Boba squinted his eyes into the distance and said, "One, two, three, four cars, there should be more people than us, we have to think of a way to deal with them." ”

Daddy Boba's judgment, adaptability and extraordinary eyesight when encountering emergencies, Lu Dachuan and they have seen it a long time ago, but they are not surprised. I was shocked.

"Liu Peng, inform them and let them follow." Lu Dachuan increased the throttle and galloped towards Yamane.

Liu Peng picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to inform them, but he didn't want to hear their whining and talking on the walkie-talkie, so he adjusted the frequency, and after the sound was clear, they also saw the car behind them after knowing that the car had changed direction.

"Don't panic, you have to keep up, we're thinking of a way to deal with them." Liu Peng said loudly into the walkie-talkie.

"There's a way to deal with them. I just don't know if they're going to be in the valley. Daddy Boba didn't wait for them to ask what to do, and then said, "There is a small valley about a kilometer forward after turning the ridge, and when you get there, you can drive the car in and let them go in too, and the rest will be mine." ”

Lu Dachuan nodded. Liu Peng immediately told them what Daddy Boba said on the walkie-talkie.

As we prepared to respond, the cars that followed us clearly knew they were exposed, and they were as fast as rockets on fire, and in less than five minutes they were already on the other side of the canyon. It looked like they were trying to get diagonally in front of us and block our way.

Seeing that they were catching up so quickly, Lu Dachuan looked ahead and scolded while speeding up: "Good dog, the technique is really good!" ”

Liu Peng hugged Dorjee's head, twisted his head to look at the speeding cars and said, "The car is not bad!" All Unimog. ”

Daddy Boba snorted coldly: "Dachuan pay attention to the sharp turn, Unimog, Daddy will make them turtles immediately"

"Okay!" Lu Dachuan confidently held the steering wheel, "You guys sit tight." ”

Liu Peng promptly notified Zhang Xiaohu and Liu Fashan of the disappearance of the sharp turn in the mountain roots in front of him with a walkie-talkie.

Seeing that at this moment of awakening and excitement, they were all calm and comfortable, as if something had been ignited in my body, I was not uncomfortable at all under the violent bumps, I only felt that my blood was boiling, and my body was full of strength.

Convoys on both sides of the canyon were moving at high speed. said that it was too late, and in a blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of the ridge that Daddy Boba said, and saw that Lu Dachuan's speed did not decrease, and he slammed the handbrake to the right and lifted the handbrake tightly, and at the same time downshifted and stepped on the accelerator, and the Land Rover Defender slid sideways with a beautiful big swing tail and turned over the ridge.

After turning the corner, the canyon suddenly narrowed a lot, and the distance between the vehicles on both sides was shortened from the original twenty or thirty meters to seven or eight meters. Through the car window, several figures in the car on the opposite side clearly appeared in front of me, "What big noses!" As soon as I blurted out a sentence, I saw a big yellow-haired man in the first car opposite leaning out of the window and aiming the muzzle of an M16 assault rifle with a black hole.
