Chapter 3 Airborne
The fat man reported the loss of Yue'er to the master and Luo Dabeard in the capital, and the two learned that the situation was strict, and immediately hired a foreign professional search and rescue team to search and rescue Yue'er.
On the night they arrived in the northeast, we began to talk by candlelight, and because human lives were at stake, the matter of entering the mountains was so important that we talked almost all night. I will tell the strange things encountered in the old forest in detail, after the story, I looked at the expressions of everyone, Luo Dabeard is frowning and his face is solemn, and the master is also silent with the same expression, and only the captain of the search and rescue team, Locke, thinks disapprovingly, the grimace monkey in my mouth is a monkey that looks a little ugly, there is no big deal.
After the captain of the foreigner expressed his opinion, I knew that he couldn't be blamed for this, he didn't understand at all that in the 5,000-year-old Chinese culture, there are many secret techniques and secret histories left over from ancient times, and many descendants of Yan and Huang may not know it, let alone expect him, a foreigner with yellow hair and blue eyes, to understand, of course, he is even more impossible to understand the Gu poison in our mouths, and the truth that things become refined for a long time. Moreover, at the beginning of reform and development, many foreigners' perception of the ancient Chinese country was still stuck in the misunderstanding of the cold weapon era.
After discussing all night, Captain Locke of the foreigner search and rescue team decided that as long as we brought them to the exact location of Yue'er's disappearance, the rest of the matter should be handled by professional personnel like them. I couldn't discuss it with him, so I said to the master in a not very friendly tone: "Don't discuss it with these stupid old hats, even if you talk to them, they won't understand the danger of these mysterious powers of Lao Lin Zicun." I think it's still as they like, and let's discuss the rest of the things ourselves. ”
After listening to me, the female translator who sat opposite me and had been translating for Locke glanced at me, and I realized that I had lost my words, there is a foreigner here who can understand Chinese, but she is lucky to think: She should not understand my swearing. I saw that she kept looking at me directly, so I said embarrassedly: "It's not early, we have to leave in a while, I think we will discuss here first, foreign friends are tired all day, let's go back and rest first!" After saying that, regardless of whether they wanted to leave or not, they stood up and sent the two foreigners out of the door. When sending the two veterans of the search and rescue team out of the door, the female translator kept staring at me, as if she had something to say to me, I was afraid that she would mention my swearing, so I hurriedly pushed them out of the door, and immediately closed the door, and secretly cursed herself for not keeping the door on her lips, and blurted out the swear words in a hurry.
After the meeting was over, and after sending everyone away, I lay down and slept for about two hours, got up before dawn, ate breakfast in a hurry, freshened up and packed up, and prepared to go into the mountain. This time I went into the mountains again, I stuffed all the daggers and slingshots into my arms, and then got a military backpack full of various items just in case. However, the backpack weighs enough for me to drink a jug.
In order to search for his beloved daughter, Luo Dabeard really invested a lot of money and invited the best private search and rescue team in Lao Mei. I heard that this old American search and rescue team has nearly 100 people, including retired special forces, members of the international rescue team, and naturalists and other senior talents in various aspects. The search and rescue company in the United States sent an elite team composed of seven or eight people, each of whom understands the search and rescue of the sea, desert and jungle, and even understands the evacuation methods when various natural disasters occur, and the survival and self-rescue after being trapped and other professional knowledge. They are dressed in uniform protective vests and camouflage uniforms, with life-saving signal lights installed on the top of the steel-stamped helmets, night vision devices with straps, simple medical backpacks on their bodies, knee pads on their legs, and walkie-talkies in their hands. Seeing such a battle, I was completely relieved, after entering the mountain this time, if I encountered any beasts and monsters, I didn't have to panic and be scared anymore, and I could easily and boldly walk sideways.
Everyone was fully equipped and ready to go, and the female translator came to me and the master with a few black protective vests, and asked us to put them on, saying that just in case, if we encounter a fierce beast attack, we can effectively protect the important internal organs of the body without having to suffer too much damage.
Both Master and Luo Dabeard politely shirked and said, "No need." ”
Instead, I hurriedly took the protective vest and put it on, and then buckled up my clothes. The heart said: Master and Uncle Luo are both practitioners, so they don't have to worry about the attack of fierce beasts at all. And I can't, I'm a scholar, although I can't talk about being so weak that I can't restrain my hands, but compared with this group of people, there is still a big gap. Although, after several thrilling experiences, tension enteritis has been cured, however, who dares to guarantee that it will not be repeated at a critical moment, when the time comes, it will only be everyone's hind legs, it is better to take care of yourself first, do not add unnecessary trouble, it is not good to add chaos. Besides, there is only one life, and if you lose it, it will be gone, so it is best to be careful in everything.
The members of the search and rescue team did not set off directly in the direction of the woods in the back mountain, but successively sat in several off-road vehicles, and then drove outside the village and drove on a slightly wider road.
Sitting in the car, I was completely confused by the second monk, and said in my heart: It is important to save people, why are you still waiting here to delay time, and I was just going to ask the master what is going on? The car that had just entered the highway suddenly slid down the side of the road, and then the car turned off and parked on the dirt on the side of the road. As a result, the members of the foreigner search and rescue team in the car began to get out of the car one after another, although I didn't know it, I had to pretend to be full of questions, and followed everyone out of the car with a backpack.
As soon as I put my feet on the ground, I heard a deafening hum in the air, and I immediately looked up at the sky, and saw an airplane appear in the distance, growing from a black dot to a small number, towards our location. The plane in the distance was clearly visible in a moment, and then, like a picture from a movie, the plane glided and landed on the road, and my eyes were straight when I saw it. The heart said: Good girl, the old beauty is really advanced enough. It seems that Luo Dabeard really loves his daughter and has made a lot of money. No wonder last night they only discussed the vegetation in the mountains, the species of wild beasts that preserved in zài, and the dangers that might exist in zài. As for the distance and geographical environment of the mountain, they did not talk about it at all, it turned out that after half a day, in order to save time, they had to directly parachute into the mountains to start the search.
After getting on the plane, Master explained to me, "Your Uncle Luo and I both think that the place you went in before should be an underground palace in front of the Tang Mausoleum. And the last place Yue'er stayed should be the tunnel in front of the underground palace. The reason why we came to such a conclusion is because of the fat baby (my master's name for fat people. He said that a friend of his came looking for an ancient tomb. The Tang Tomb likes to "rely on the mountain as the mausoleum", and the tunnel connecting the underground palace and the tomb will open a patio to set up a niche, and the underground city you find full of real figurines should also be related to the Tang Tomb. So we decided to parachute directly in a place that could be Tangling, first, to save time, and secondly, to avoid unnecessary danger. ”
I nodded in agreement immediately after hearing this, this is indeed necessary, the first criterion of rescue is to rescue the trapped people in the shortest possible time. Because time is the most terrible thing in search and rescue, we must avoid wasting time as much as possible. Moreover, we have now wasted three days in vain, and there are only four days left for the golden seven days of search and rescue.
As soon as we finished talking, the foreigners sitting in the cabin of this airborne fixed-wing transport aircraft had already begun to stand up and stood in a vertical row in front of the cabin door. Looking at this stance, I thought to myself: it looks like I've arrived at the place, and now I'm ready to skydive. Without thinking too much about it, the female interpreter came over, pulled me up from my seat, and then put my hand directly into the hands of a short foreigner, and then said something in English to the man, but I didn't understand a word. When the female translator had finished speaking to the short old diplomat, she turned her head and said to me in a loud voice, "His name is Henry." After a while, he will jump off with you in his arms, and then when he lets go of you, you will count one, two, three in your mind, and then immediately pull the tab of your parachute pack. Remember, don't open your parachute in a hurry to avoid colliding with the person next to you, and when the parachute is fully deployed, try to keep your body under control and avoid wooded areas. Don't worry! Skydiving is simple, there is no danger, you just need to relax and the parachute will carry you slowly and safely. ”
After listening to her, I let out an "ah", and this word contains thousands of questions, worries, distrust, and so on. I was really in a state of speechlessness, and my heart said: I, a human without wings, am going to be driven to the shelves of ducks and soar high in the sky, just thinking about it, my legs and stomach have begun to cramp, how can I turn my brain to organize language. The female translator ignored the worry on my face, and after explaining the explanation, she walked behind me and continued to explain the airborne matter to the people behind her.
I looked at the short foreigner next to me who was about to take control of my destiny, and I saw him looking at me with a smile and saying to me in a very brisk tone, "Come! Don‘tworry!”
After listening to him, I don't know what he meant, but I guess he told me not to worry. However, my current mood is completely full of all kinds of complicated feelings, and I can't figure out what it feels like, if I have to summarize it in one word, it is the word "apprehension", and my heart is now so worried that my fingertips are trembling.
I bothered my spirits, barely squeezed out some smiles at the short foreigner next to me, smiled and nodded to greet him. I looked at the foreigner around me, he was about the same height as me, not as burly and tall as the other members of the search and rescue team, his eyes were always smiling and narrowing into a slit, and he seemed to belong to that kind of self-familiar character.
Short foreigners can only speak a few simple words of Chinese, which is nothing more than "How are you?" "Have you eaten?" This is a very simple and not very useful phrase for everyday life. And my perception of English is at the level of being able to recognize 26 English letters and numbers to ten, so we basically can't communicate, so we can only stand quietly together, waiting for the airborne arrival.
In this situation of imminent experience of unknown horror, my heart was beating very fast, and I was worried about Master's physical condition, because at his age, my heart's ability to withstand it weakened and could not withstand too much stimulation, and I was afraid that he would have an accident.
So, when I looked back behind me, I saw that the master and his old man were still looking like the old god was not alarmed, and he was chatting happily with the foreigners around him. Only then did I remember that Master spoke English well, he was most proficient in Japanese, and he could speak a few words of Russian, so he could be regarded as a master of foreign languages, and he would have to learn foreign languages with Master in the future.
While I was thinking about it, the person standing next to the cabin door opened the cabin door and made a gesture, and the person standing at the front jumped in. Then, the people lined up behind him began to jump out of the cabin one after another. Looking at the people who jumped out of the cabin one by one in front of me, my heart instantly plucked up again, dragging a little heavy steps, Mu Ne stepped forward step by step, and kept praying silently in my heart: I am willing to ask the gods of the four directions to bless me, and there must be no mistakes!
After closing my eyes and meditating silently for a long time, someone tapped me on the shoulder, and I immediately opened my eyes and found that it was already my turn.
Henry, who was clinging to me, first pointed to the tab on my backpack and then said, "one, two, shree, OK?" I didn't care what he meant, I stood still like a piece of wood, let him hold me tight, and then I saw him smile and say to me, "Relax." ”
Immediately after, the whistling wind swept wildly in my ears.
