Chapter Twenty-Three: The Lost River

"If you have something to say, what is the sale!" Qingfeng pouted and said.

Yuan Meng smiled, "Let's listen to the good first, there is good news to base upon, and the bad news is not so sad." ”

I choked Qingfeng enough, I lost interest, and said honestly, "The good news is that I went to check the county records of Yinhe County today, and since the Tang Dynasty, there has been no major change in the jurisdiction of Yinhe County, so the location of your map will not be wrong." The bad news is that I have traveled to two places near the mountains in this county today, one has been bulldozed, there are no tributaries, and the other is still there, and I have found the abnormal feature that the river is wider than the downstream, but unfortunately, there is still no trace of tributaries. If you don't believe me, I also took a lot of photos of the scene. I'll go get it back after eating. ”

After speaking, I found that even Qingfeng's expression was solemn, biting his chopsticks and holding his small mouth, as if he was thinking about something!

Yuan Meng's face changed, and then he became indifferent, "The dark path is not so easy to find, and after so many years of changes, it is very likely that the tributaries of the Yin River have already dried up, and it must be difficult to find on the surface." Eat first, and wait to see if you can find any clues in the photos. ”

The idea that the tributaries were drying up really reminded me, "yes, I didn't think the river would dry up!" I patted my thigh and said.

"I'm thinking about a question," Qingfeng said with a slanted glance at me.

'What do you want to say?' "I have a hunch that her pretty little mouth will not be able to say good things.

"You shouldn't have been playing for a day today, and you haven't done any field surveys at all!" Qingfeng was like a master of reasoning, touching his pointed chin and saying, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have thought of such a simple truth?" ”

"Didn't you think of it either," I almost laughed, "and do you know why?" ”

She knew that I must have nothing good to say, but she was curious about what I was going to say about her, so she said angrily, "If you want to put anything in a hurry, Miss Ben doesn't have time to tease you!" ”

"Because, we all have the sequelae of hypoxic brain injury." I shook my head and sighed.

"What do you mean?" Qingfeng asked blankly.

"To put it simply, it's brain-dead!" I laughed happily and finally won the game.

"You!" Qingfeng was furious, "See if I don't ,......" said and picked up a glass and made a gesture to throw it over.

I quickly stood up, picked up the beer on the table and said, "Come, have a drink, dissipate your anger, the little girl's family is so beautiful, it's not beautiful to be angry." ”

"You have to take care of it!" Qingfeng puffed up the glass and gave it to me.

Yuan Meng was on the side, and he snorted with joy.

"Cheers, big beauty!" I poured Qingfeng a cold beer and toasted her.

"Just do it, whoever is afraid of whom!" Qingfeng drank it all in anger, put down the cup and said with a bitter face, "Bah, what a broken wine, it's so hard to drink!" ”

This time, Yuan Meng and I laughed together.

Yuan Meng's cooking skills are very clever, although there are many dishes, almost all of them are eaten. I couldn't move until I put down my chopsticks.

In order to digest faster, I put down my chopsticks and went to the photo studio to get the photos. Qingfeng was quite dissatisfied with this, and muttered quietly behind me, "What a slacker, I don't even know how to clean up the dishes and chopsticks." Good thing I don't want to marry him! ”

I smiled faintly. I thought, it's good that I don't want to marry you, otherwise I wouldn't be cooking every day, tidying up the housework, and being a home uncle. But thinking of Qingfeng's beautiful face that is not inferior to Nozomi Sasaki, and the good figure that makes Gan Lulu feel ashamed, it seems that it is good to really marry her, even if she is a family cook. However, relatively speaking, the gentle Yuan Meng is even more attractive. The light and delicate face and the devil's figure are simply the realistic adult version of the heroine of the Xiuzhen game. No otaku can resist. Of course, if you can receive two women and enjoy the blessings of all people, what could be more sexually blessed than this!

The thought of such a possibility made my saliva almost water.

But whenever I have a sexual immorality, a person's name seems to remind me not to forget her, and it suddenly appears in my mind without warning. All my joy was instantly turned to ashes.

I let out a long sigh, my mouth full of bitterness, and walked forward quickly.

When I sent the film to the photo studio today, I added money, otherwise it would not have been possible to get the photos so quickly.

After getting the photos, the imaging results are not bad, although it cost a lot of money, but I am very satisfied.

When I came back, I found that my home had been cleaned up, and I couldn't help but sigh that a complete family is really indispensable to women.

I shouted out the Yuan sisters, each of them divided a handful of photos, and worked together to see if I could find clues inside.

Since the tributaries may have dried up long ago, there must still be traces of it, so the Yin River flowing through the ravines around the tomb is the most important target to pay attention to.

But unfortunately, there was no trace of the photo in my hand, and I checked it several times before I had to put it down. can only hope that Yuan Meng and Qingfeng can find clues. But once again, luck played a joke on us. Neither of them found any clues about the tributaries of the tunnel.

We were frustrated. Qingfeng said annoyedly, "Are you in the wrong place!" ”

When she said this, I almost doubted myself, but the map and the county records were not wrong, and all the angles of the tomb were recorded, and if not, then I really had to explore it on the spot.

"I'm thirsty!" Qingfeng stood up anxiously and went to the refrigerator to get a drink.

What went wrong? I stroked my somewhat hot forehead and pondered bitterly.

Whether it's a code word, or a map, or the current Yin River is not the Tang Dynasty at all, it may have been rerouted. I raised my head and was about to say my hypothesis, but I didn't notice that Qingfeng was handing me a bottle of Sprite with the lid open, as soon as I stretched out my hand, she thought I was coming to pick it up, so she let go directly, and the two misunderstood, Sprite fell on the coffee table all of a sudden.

"What are you doing!" Qingfeng was startled, and I was also shocked, so I hurried to help Sprite, but it had already spilled a lot, and even the photos were wet.

"It's okay, it's okay, just wipe it!" Yuan Meng smiled as he took out a tissue from under the coffee table and put it on the sprite.

And I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "There you have it!" I said out loud.

"Why are you surprised!" Qingfeng said angrily.

I Zhizhu smiled and said, "You say, the people who built the ancient ruins you said would not artificially destroy the original tributaries in order to prevent others from finding the ruins. ”

Yuan Meng's eyes lit up immediately when I reminded him, but he immediately rejected my statement, "The project of artificially destroying a tributary is not small, but if it is intercepted, it is not difficult." ”

"Interception," I seemed to have caught something, I remember the general tall and lush trees there, "if the interception alone will still leave a big trace, but if you wait for the river to dry up and then plant trees on the riverbed, then it will be ...... years later."

"There is no riverbed, only woods!" Yuan Meng said excitedly.

"That's right, if you find the long and narrow forest that leads to the tomb mountain, you can find the disappearing riverbed, and then you can also find the entrance to the secret passage!" I looked at Yuan Meng and said excitedly.

"That's right!" Yuan Meng said happily.

According to the analysis just now, the Yuan family sisters and I carefully checked the photos that had been flipped through several times again, but this time quickly, Qingfeng found a photo that met the requirements, and then Yuan Meng also found one, and finally the last one in my hand also found traces that met the standards.

If we compare these photos together, we will find common ground. They all appear in the Yin River flowing through the Yin Mountain. There was a narrow forest that winded its way to the foot of the hill, but when it got there, the woods disappeared because there was a newly built road. But across the road, although there were no towering trees, there were some small low trees, which led like a dotted line to a vertical cliff in the north of the mountain.

"Walking along the river, the branches see the wall, and the mountain ends," Yuan Meng and I said in unison.

"Yay!" The two of us couldn't help but high-five each other.

"Prepare, we'll go here tomorrow, we should find something." I rubbed my hands together and said.

"Not necessarily!" Qingfeng tilted his head, looked left and right, pointed to the clearest photo and said, "Look at how tall the big tree is here, and so short here, could it be the same period?" ”

"It's a good explanation," said without hesitation, "you don't see that a new road has been built here, and it is very likely that the trees here were cut down during the construction of the road, and some small trees were planted, otherwise why would a narrow strip of trees continue here naturally, and there is not a single tree elsewhere." ”

"Do you want to say that, it seems to have some sense!" Qingfeng also had to admit at this time that it was indeed very strange there.

"Okay, go to bed early, we'll go there early tomorrow morning," successfully finding the clue made me feel good, and I smiled and said to Yuan Meng, "How's your equipment?" ”

“OK!” Yuan Meng made a gesture, "Almost, what do you see missing?" As she spoke, she handed me a list of equipment.

I took it and took a look, and the equipment on it was really complete.

Lighting equipment includes wolf's eye flashlight, tactical miner's lamp, spare batteries, communications, radio communication equipment, self-rescue, gas masks, field survival kits, and more complete tools, including sapper shovels, climbing picks, climbing ropes, Swiss army knives, smokeless stoves, and even two control knives. It's pretty much what it's supposed to be. I really don't understand how a girl's family knows so much, and I don't necessarily have to buy it so completely. And she did it on her own.

I really can't think of anything, what is missing? If I have to say that there is anything missing, I am afraid that there is a lack of two pistols for self-defense. But that thing is hard to come by. And the stakes are high, and if discovered, possession of firearms is a felony. So don't mention it.

"How do you know so much!" I praised it from the bottom of my heart, "I now doubt that you really came from the Tang Dynasty." ”

"You don't usually watch TV," Yuan Meng said with a smile, "I learned this from the National Geographic Channel." ”

Oh, I remember that the National Geographic Channel does have several programs such as Science and Exploration, and watching them often can indeed learn a lot of wilderness survival skills, including of course, how to choose the necessary tools for wilderness survival.

In this case, I think of it, "food ......"

"Compressed biscuits, chocolate and water!" Yuan Meng asked, "Okay?" ”

"That's great!" I said, for a moment I felt like I was a little redundant and couldn't help much. Suddenly I remembered something, so I said mysteriously, "We have to prepare two things tomorrow?" ”

"What?"

"Inflatable lifebuoys and ladders?" I say.

"The inflatable lifebuoy is understandable, and it can still be used in water, this ladder?" Qingfeng interjected.

"You'll know when the time comes!" I'm pretending to be mysterious.

"Deliberately deceitful!" Qingfeng pouted and said.
