11th Rescue (Request for a Commuter Pass)
Perhaps, the spirit felt that it was not easy to plot against my father directly, so he targeted me. But now that he's brought me here, why would he say such strange things if he wanted to attack me?
My shouting had no effect on the man, and he slowly raised his right hand in front of his head, flipping it back and forth a few times. "Who do you think I should be?"
I was ready to run back by now, and he should be able to see my intentions, but he didn't come up to stop me. He just pointed his right hand in one direction in the night, and whispered, "Follow this road, there is a village, and tomorrow morning there will be the last bus to leave here." β
"What the hell are you trying to do with me?"
"Let you go." He slowly lowered his hand, "You shouldn't come here, let alone go up the snowy mountain, you'll die." β
"Where I'm going, what's your business!" I deliberately raised my voice, firstly, to suppress the fear in my heart, and secondly, I wanted my voice to be heard by Peanut and Fat.
"You're too naΓ―ve, Yuan Jie." The man suddenly said my name, "Innocent people will be confused by what is in front of them, continue to track down, and one day you will regret it." β
I felt a strange feeling in my heart, why did all these people want to stop me? Daddy and Peanut are like this, and now they are running out of a person for some reason.
But suddenly I felt like an opportunity.
Since he can say this, will he also know the ins and outs of the whole thing?
So, I took a deep breath and allowed myself to speak in as calm a tone as possible. "Why should I listen to you?"
"You don't have to listen to me, but you can't listen to anyone else." The man's voice was very similar to Daddy's. But every single one he uttered seemed to be a tone, sounding lifeless. "If you leave this matter and hide far away, it won't be long before the truth will naturally come to you. If you continue to cling to it, it will only make things worse. β
"Do you know the truth?"
The man was silent for a moment, then said, "Once you get involved in this matter, no matter who you are, you will have unanswerable doubts, and that truth is different for everyone. The only thing that is the same is that the truth is definitely not what you want to see. 'We' have given too much for the truth, and some of us have despaired or given up, and are still obsessed. It's your dad. β
We? Dad?
A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind, and I couldn't help but think of the conversation Daddy and Peanut had when they first met at the Tomb of King Yelang. I've been thinking. Who exactly is that "we"? Hearing him say that now, I can't help but think that this person is one of "us".
According to my thoughts, the "we" in Daddy's mouth should refer to some people who have the same goals as him and have worked together. If this assumption is true, then. The meaning of "we" is not as simple as I thought, because the right hand of the person in front of me also has six fingers. Could it be that "we" refers to a group of people with six fingers on their right hand?
"That's right."
The mysterious man in front of me suddenly confirmed my thoughts. I shuddered for a moment, and then I remembered. He seems to have some kind of ability to peek into people's hearts. And when I reacted, I suddenly realized that this was almost the first time that my idea was affirmed by an insider.
I couldn't help the surprise in my heart, "You, what did you say?" β
The man raised his hand again, "I suppose your father must have told you about the curse." β
I nodded slowly. Daddy said that our old Yuan family is a cursed family, and in that curse, our fate has long been decided by something. Daddy, everything they did was to peek into something like heaven. And it is for this purpose that Daddy and they have done a series of things that puzzle me.
The mysterious man on the other side stretched out his right hand towards me, and we were so far apart that his hand could not have touched me. However, when I saw that hand more clearly, there was an expression in my heart that I could not speak.
"That's the curse." "It's also evidence that distinguishes 'us' from normal people, I used a knife to cut off this extra finger a long time ago, but within two days, this finger grew again." So, I kept chopping, and I don't know how many times I cut it, but to this day, it still grows on my hands. β
In other words, the six fingers are not a special case of Daddy, but a symbol of being cursed. In a trance, the man in the old photo resurfaced in front of my eyes.
No wonder I thought that what Daddy said was very vague, because he was hiding such an important thing from me.
But when I think about it, I think it's weird. Since Daddy has told me about the curse, why didn't he tell me the source of the six fingers? After all, these six fingers are just a manifestation of the curse, so what is there to hide?
At that time, Daddy told me that the result of the curse of our Yuan family is that in every generation, there will be a person with "clan blood". I think this is similar to the mysterious man's statement, whether it's the blood of the sect or the six fingers, isn't it a sign of a curse?
I suddenly gasped, and then asked, "Is that the Six Fingers the same as the blood of the sect, the cursed family, there will be one in each generation?" β
The brim of the man's hat moved twice, and I knew he was nodding.
"That means that a sixth finger will grow on my right hand at its most rear?" After saying this, I subconsciously looked at my right hand.
"As it was before, it was like this." The man said and smiled lightly, "But Yuan Long doesn't know what to do." But in any case, now that you're here, things should have a result, so you can't set foot on this snowy mountain. β
"For what?"
"We once had a plan to bypass the mountains and rivers of the Quartet, bypass the boat, and find out the ultimate secret of the matter more easily, but in the end, we failed. At that time. We found out that there was a very terrible force in this matter, and as soon as we got close to the truth, that force would appear, and then," said the mysterious man, as if he sensed something behind him, slowly turned his head to look at the vague Chogori Peak.
"That power does not belong to the world, it is hidden there."
Looking in the direction of the mysterious man's face, Chogori Peak in the darkness resembles a night demon overlooking the earth. Compared with its unfathomable majesty, the darkness around us is more like a layer of protection around us.
Liu Jinsun said in the letter that the place on Kara Mountain must not be visited, will he and his grandfather also know the strange power hidden in the Dao?
At this moment, I actually felt my brain calm down. The impression of some things has also changed.
That map was there a long time ago. Even if grandpa's time was not ripe at that time, but are our conditions really enough to deal with that kind of strength at the moment? If only some advanced equipment could solve the problem. Then it won't wait until now.
I believe. All these peanuts are known, and Daddy knows it. In this way, our trip to Kunlun was a little abrupt.
That's right, more than ten days ago, Peanut and Daddy must have talked about something important. Perhaps they solved some of the puzzles. Or maybe the two men have reached some kind of consensus.
Cause.
I suddenly understood that this time, the reason for going to the Illusory Snow Forbidden City was far more important than finding the Seven Star Dragon Abyss. At least. For me, that reason is very important.
"You finally get it." The mysterious man turned around, "What I know about the Dao is limited, and it's up to you to choose how to choose. β
"Who the hell are you?" Once again, I gazed into the darkness beneath the brim of my hat.
"If you leave here, I think we'll see each other again soon." As he spoke, the man turned abruptly, and walked briskly in the direction of Chogori Peak, as before.
I immediately chased after me, but I hadn't taken a few steps when someone grabbed me from behind.
When I turned my head, it turned out to be peanuts.
Peanut stared into my eyes, "How did you get here?" β
I was about to explain, when I saw several flashlights move towards him behind him. After a while, others followed.
The big guy said almost the same first sentence, asking me why I suddenly left the camp and came here?
At first, I didn't have a chance to interject when I asked them, but then I felt like I couldn't tell me what had just happened.
Especially Daddy.
"You think this is Beijing, you can go back by taking a taxi if you get lost, and now the mountain is about to be closed, if you get lost, you are dead, you are tired of living!" Daddy's head and face are scolded.
I saw that he was really anxious, so I avoided his eyes and said casually: "I just want to see what Qiaogori Peak looks like, isn't this snow stopped?" β
"Ahh Tuhti also looked nervous, this matter is related to his reputation, if he loses one before he gets there, then the word goes out, others will think that he can't do it. "The god is sleeping peacefully at this time, and there is no way to protect his people, so you outsiders must not run around."
Just when most people were accusing me, the second stunned man smiled, "Master, it's only been a few fights, and your courage is so strong, in a few years, you will definitely be terrible." β
"Phew!" Daddy was stunned after spraying, "He's like this, he still has a few years to live." β
Qin Feng also came out to play a round. "Forget it, master, isn't the master good? It's cold, let's go back. β
Daddy has no other choice, he can't let me take off my pants and spank me here. But then the fat man said in the direction of Qiaogori Peak: "Eh, wait a minute." β
My heart trembled, and I secretly said, "Did you see that mysterious man this dog?" But when I turned my head, it was dark in front of me, and what made me feel even more hairy was that there was not even a single footprint on the snow.
I suddenly reacted, the special mother's father and Peanut are such sharp-eyed people, if you chase them all the way, you will definitely find the extra pair of footprints. No wonder they didn't ask me much, it turned out that there were only my footprints on the ground.
But I had seen the man step into the snow one by one.
The fat man then pointed forward, "Look, there's something going on there." β
All of us followed the fat man's pointing and looked in the direction of Chogori's Peak. At this point, Chogori Peak was just an outline that was darker than the night. I watched it for a while. Only then did I discover the burst of light that the fat man said.
It was a flash of light, probably from a large electric lamp. Flashing and flashing, it seems that there is some kind of pattern.
"It's a distress signal." The middle-aged Aman said, and then he looked back at Tuhti, "Abba, that seems to be the location of the base camp for mountaineering." β
Tuhti looked at it, "That's right, ah, that place is very well equipped, and it's not snowing now." Even if it's not the most powerful time, why would you ask for help? They have very scientific telephones. β
The shining place is at the lower part of Chogori Peak, and it can be seen that it is not the most dangerous place.
One heard that it was a base camp for mountain climbing. The fat man is a little boring. "That's right, people are high science. Those of us who do traditional craftsmanship don't want to mix. β
"Ahh It can't be like this. Tuhti was very concerned, "We live under the watchful eye of the Condor, and if we don't save us when we see death, we will definitely be punished in the future." A few of you, it's not very far from here, if you rush over. Maybe it can save people's lives. β
His words made it a little difficult for us.
Those stationed in places like mountaineering base camps are some officials and many government scientific researchers. Moreover, the border guards take good care of such a place, and if they don't do it, they will send a force over to take a look. We're going to run into it. It's always risky.
But looking at the appearance of the Tuhti family, it seems that even if we don't agree, the three of them will have to go.
"You go back first, I'll just take a look." "If it's not a big problem, I'll just come back." β
When Tuhti heard this, he looked at Peanut with great admiration, "The gods must think the same way, friend, let's go together." β
As soon as the fat man heard that Peanut was going, he also planned to join in the fun. "Then I'll be on God's side."
"I, I'll go too." As soon as I saw that they were both going, I stood up.
"you." Daddy then shoved me.
The fat man caught me, and then said to my father with a smile: "Master Yuan, this is what you are wrong, where are you teaching children like this, this is called righteousness and bravery, maybe we saved those people on the mountain, and we can make up for it when we are caught in the future." β
"!" Daddy gritted his teeth angrily, "It's really for you people who can't sleep well all night, okay, let's all go." β
Then, Daddy made the arrangements. He asked Aman, Buck, and Erzi to turn around and drive the car away, and by the way, he also picked up the ninth brother and Shui Ye. Anyway, tomorrow will take that road, and now it will be a rapid march.
Suddenly, the group officially headed for the most difficult K2 in the world to conquer - Qiaogori Peak. In order to find me before, Daddy and they all brought the salute, and I don't know if the road is the luck of those people on the mountain or we can use it just a little bit.
After a little further on, we were onto the road. The snow in this section is not deep, and I believe that it should be no problem for off-road vehicles to go up. But this makes people feel that the situation in the base camp is a little strange. Buck said that there were a lot of cars in the base camp, and the medical equipment was quite complete, so why did they send a signal, this practice was a bit primitive for the mountaineering base camp of Chogory Peak.
But on second thought, maybe something really happened there.
Peanut walked all the way to the front, constantly looking around. It's dark, and I don't know what he's looking at, and the fat man feels curious and asks him, but he doesn't answer. I thought to myself, oh no, Peanut must have suspected that something had happened when I ran out of the tent. I didn't cover it up very well before, but it was only because of the footprints on the ground that I didn't let Daddy guess too much.
But Peanut is a different story, and perhaps in his opinion, it is not impossible to walk on the snow without leaving footprints.
But at the end, all thoughts were replaced by the fatigue of climbing. We couldn't help but look back at Old Man Tuhti.
"Oh, I said old man, this, how far is this special mother's still there?" The fat man asked, gasping.
"It's not far, if we go fast, we'll be there before dawn."
The old man's words almost made us all roll off the road.
Qin Feng was worried about my father's physical strength, "Why didn't you say it earlier, if that's the case, we'll all go in the car." β
The old man Tuheti shook his head and said, "The car can't drive here at night, Oman drove the car here, and the two people behind can only walk." β
I gasped and laughed in my stomach, looking at Daddy, I said in my heart that this time the brother and master you invited are really going to slap their butts and leave. But when you put it all together, it seems that Tuhti deliberately concealed these things and wanted to force us to go up and save people. I'm ashamed to say that I'm a person with a higher education.
A few people were about to gasp for breath, when suddenly, there was a noise on the road, and everyone immediately became alert. Standing still, a dark shadow was running towards us on the crooked road.
As soon as he was sure it was a person, he fell to the ground and rolled on his side.
"Catch him!" After Daddy finished speaking, Qin Feng rushed out. He wanted to stop him in front of the direction in which the man was rolling, but he didn't know if the man was deliberately playing with his heartbeat or if the ground was too slippery, Qin Feng's hand just stretched out, his body was crooked, and he turned to the side of the road.
The road is built on a slope, and although there are not cliffs on both sides, it is still appropriate for a person to fall to death. Just as he was about to roll down, Peanut had already come to him, and as soon as he bent his body, he lifted it with one hand, and the other party grabbed him from the ground. (To be continued......)
