Ah Xiang shouted to Ah San: "Find a dry place first, and tidy up your backpack." ”

I realized that all backpacks were soaked in water, and most of the things in the backpacks were not afraid of water, but some equipment could not get into water, such as metal detectors. If this thing is scrapped, it will be even more difficult for us to find this kind of ancient tomb that cannot be determined according to Feng Shui.

The muddy backpack was even heavier, so we quickly grabbed the backpack and carried it on our backs, and the black muddy water dripped down our backs. Ah San pointed in one direction and shouted, and took the lead in walking that way.

Jack and I had light backpacks, and we could barely follow Ah San and Ah Xiang, and the two mountain people who carried the main weight were miserable, and they were walking on the mountain, and they relied entirely on physical strength to walk this kind of swamp, and there was no skill to speak of. Neither of them was tall, and under the weight of their backpacks, their legs were almost all submerged in the mud, and they walked slowly and hard. It can't be helped, Jack and I go back and share part of their backpacks, otherwise they might not be able to get out.

In this way, the speed of the four of us slowed down, and we were far behind Ah Xiang and Ah San, and there was a tendency to get farther and farther away. Fortunately, they didn't do anything wrong, and when they passed a bush, they cut down a few pieces of branches that were nearly two meters long and wrist-thick and threw them at us. With these branches, the four of us were able to stand firmly, and our speed was a little faster.

Jack walked ahead of me, and every time he pulled his leg out of the mud, I always saw something very different from the black mud attached to his leg. I was figuring out what it was, and suddenly there was a tingling sensation on one leg, and I pulled out my leg to look at it, and I almost fainted, and there was a locust attached to my calf, which was so disgusting. When I participated in archaeological work in the southwest region, I often saw and was plotted by locusts, and I have a certain immunity to this kind of thing. But so many leeches are like a layer of sesame sticking on the baked cake, and anyone who sees it will be unbearable. I cursed out loud in exasperation.

Jack glanced back at my raised leg and said, "More than on my leg." Then he turned and walked back on.

I glared at his back. Is this pulling hatred?

When I looked at the two mountain people behind me, they also had indifferent expressions. Is it hypocrisy?

It took us more than an hour to get there from the bottom of the cliffs we entered the valley to the nearest hill, about two thousand meters, bypassing a quagmire in between. Ah San planted branches along the way, otherwise we would have walked straight in. I don't see any difference in that area, but I'm willing to trust the professionals.

The first thing we do when we leave the water is to remove the leeches from our bodies. There were too many, and when I washed the water, I saw that these leeches were full of blood, one end was already as thick as a finger, and the other end was still burrowing into the flesh and sucking blood. It's like a bunch of vampires, and it's going to burst the rhythm.

With a pat of the hand, most of the leeches fall off automatically, which is full of blood. There were some that couldn't be beaten down, so I had to take out the lighters and burn them down one by one. It can't be dragged down, let it loosen its mouth on its own, the wound bleeds less, if it is pulled off alive, its mouthparts will remain in the human body, and there is no treatment here It will definitely be infected, and it is very likely to die here. I don't need to say this, every one of them knows it very well, and the means of getting rid of leeches are easier than mine. Two Vietnamese people hold a cigarette in one hand, take a puff and burn a leech, just like playing a game there.

The worst thing is the two mountain people, they are short, and at first because the backpack is too heavy, the lower half of the body is all in the water, only to find that the leeches are crawling all over the waist down, and there are several leeches hanging on the eggs. The two of them had to be stripped naked, grinning and saving their lives first, and I watched that scene hurt.

Everyone was bleeding from their legs, and after taking urgent care of their wounds, I opened my backpack and checked a few water-resistant devices. Fortunately, I know that there is plenty of rain here, the waterproof measures are in place, and there is no water inside the instrument.

By the time we repacked the equipment and dried our wet clothes, the sun was already in the west, and it was obvious that it was impossible to reach the predetermined position today, and even to spend the night in this place where we had only walked a few thousand meters.

This hill is not big, tens of meters high, we dry on a large flat and smooth rock on the shore, and seven or eight meters away from the shore is the dense jungle. In this hot, humid and almost enclosed environment, there are countless broad-leaved and rattan plants, and there are so many kinds of plants that I have never seen two of the same plants at a glance. The plants here are generally tall, and not far from me there is a tree with a diameter of nearly one meter and a height of more than 30 meters.

Apparently we are trapped here, and if the hill is isolated in a swamp, we can't even get out of here unless we plan to feed ourselves to the leeches. Ah Xiang was extremely angry about this, and roared at Ah Sanhao. It should be a very difficult word, I don't understand, he shouted Vietnamese, Ah San lowered his head and didn't dare to refute, he looked very scared of Ah Xiang's appearance.

In fact, I can't complain about this. When I looked down from the cliff, I didn't realize that it was a swamp. The grass grew so dense that you couldn't see the situation below, and even above you didn't expect the temperature and humidity to be so high.

Ah Xiang lost his temper and said to me in Chinese: "I am going to spend the night here tonight, which of you two will accompany me to investigate this place?" Find a place to spend the night and explore the road below. ”

I didn't expect Ah Xiang to drag me to do this job, but after looking at the two mountain people, I couldn't say a reason to refuse. Those two people were bitten by leeches on their thighs, not to mention climbing, walking is a problem, and they have just cleaned their wounds and dried eggs in the sun. It seems that he is not worried about leaving me and Jack here alone, because he and Ah San can do this job completely.

I glanced at Jack, who shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent. I didn't know what Jack's condition was, but I had the advantage in stamina and the physical strength to investigate, so I said to Ah Xiang, "I, I suggest going to the top of the mountain first, where you should be able to see the whole of this hill." ”

"Agreed."

The two of us simply cleaned up, mainly tying our trouser legs tightly and tucking them into our wet shoes, and one of us took a firewood knife and went into the woods.

This hill is not big, but the road is very difficult to walk, and the most troublesome thing is the vines everywhere. Soon after entering the forest, the light dimmed, the trees in the air almost completely blocked the sunlight, and the vines were hidden in the waist-deep grass, and Ah Xiang and I had to try to move forward step by step. The mountain is neither high nor steep, but our speed is not fast.

I kept my head down in front of me, focused on cutting down dead branches and vines across the road. Suddenly, I heard Ah Xiang behind him say, "What voice?" ”
