Chapter 82: Acting Alone
The person in charge surnamed Ma sat next to me, talking about some trivial things that were not touched, it seemed that he wanted to maintain my relationship, so that he could sell those things as soon as possible.
But where do I have the heart to talk to him now, and I want to find an opportunity to send him away, but I don't know what to say. He made a color to the large group next to him and asked him to help get the person in charge of the horse away first. Datuan saw my eyes, nodded, made an excuse, and dragged the person in charge surnamed Ma away.
Seeing that the group had taken the person in charge surnamed Ma away, the big head sat next to me and looked at me and said, "Qiangzi, let's talk about it, what's going on, it's mysterious." ”
"Big head, I've found news from my grandfather, I have to go. You and the group stay here, and this time I'll act alone. I looked at Datuan and the others over there, and when I saw that they weren't looking this way, I whispered to Datou.
When the big head heard me say this, he almost jumped up, but I held him down, signaling him to move quietly. He whispered: "How can you do that, how can you act alone." You can't go to the group, but I have to go with you. ”
I've made up my mind, this time I have to act alone, the big head and the big group are two people in this team, at first glance, they belong to the strongest of the kind, and they are easy to be found if they walk any way. I'm different, I'm a small shop owner, so I said that I couldn't stand the pain when I came in this time, and I wanted to quit by myself.
The big group over there didn't know how to leave the person in charge surnamed Ma over there, and ran over by himself. When I heard that I was going to go it alone, I reacted like a big head. I finally got the two people through Datou and Datuan, and Datou and Datuan quietly handed me a gun.
I was shocked to see this gun, I didn't expect the two of them to have this thing. Seeing my doubts, Datuan took the gun over and said: "Hadron, this is a flare gun, as long as you pull the trigger, it will send out a flare, if you encounter danger, shoot, and the big head and I will come over when we see the flare." ”
It turned out to be just a false alarm, looked at this flare gun, held it in his hand and asked, "I took this one, so what should you do?" ”
"Qiangzi, you just take it, I have one with the big head, this one is for you, I will use one with the big head, anyway, the two of us will not go separately. When are you leaving? "As Da Tuan spoke, Datou had already taught me all the ways to use the flare gun.
"Let's go later, don't worry, I'll be careful." Now I have to leave as soon as possible, and seeing my grandfather like that last night made me panic and want to find him as soon as possible.
"Be careful all the way, signal if something happens, and come over as soon as we see it. Really don't take us with you? "Big Head is still making a last-ditch effort and wants me to take him with him.
I knew they were worried about my safety, but I had made up my mind to go alone this time, and shook my head firmly. The person in charge surnamed Ma in front had already begun to call everyone up and continued to walk forward.
Datuan beckoned to him, and the person in charge surnamed Ma came over, and the enthusiasm was a little unbearable, "Boss Ye, is there anything wrong?" ”
"Brother Ma, I can't walk anymore, maybe I'm not suitable for this, I'd better go back." I sat down on the ground again, and didn't get up and keep walking.
The person in charge surnamed Ma saw that the people in front of me had left, but I sat here and didn't get up, he was a little anxious and said to me: "Is it too fast, I'll let them go slower." ”
I shook my head and said to the person in charge surnamed Ma: "Brother Ma, you know that I am a businessman, not material for this business. Don't worry, I'm familiar with the way here, and it's okay to walk back by myself, there are acquaintances in the village outside. Well, I'll give you the address and phone number of my store, and I'll call you when you come back. ”
As I spoke, I pulled out a pen and paper from my backpack, leaving the address and phone number of my shop. I bought this paper and pen on a temporary basis, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now.
The person in charge surnamed Ma saw that I insisted on leaving, and knew that when I came, I was accompanied by people from the outside village. The most important thing is that I gave him everything he wanted, so I didn't feel too embarrassed, just said a word to tell me to be careful, and continued to walk with those people.
Datou and Datuan, the two of them instructed for a long time before they finally left. As soon as I saw them all gone, I opened the notebook in my backpack and began to compare the descriptions in it with the nearby terrain.
The most important thing now is to quickly find the entrance left in Grandpa's notebook. Judging from the notebook, the entrance is a secret mountain cellar, and it looks like it should be halfway up the mountain, and my current location is at the bottom of the mountain.
To find the cellar, you must first find the mountain on which the cellar is located, and then climb halfway up the mountain to find it. After comparing the neighborhoods, I found that the mountain was still some distance from here, and it was in the direction where Datou and Datuan were walking. In order not to be discovered by others, I have to wait here for them to go away, and then slowly follow.
Before, Datou and Datuan helped me carry things, and I didn't feel too tired. But now that the two of them were gone, they suddenly found that they had a lot more. A ten-pound plastic pot filled with water, a large bag of pot helmets, and a backpack full of tools, plus the big head and the big group also gave me some things that might be used when they left.
As a result, I was able to hold these things alone, and the speed was much slower. Thankfully, the backpack was big enough to pull out the shovel and stuff everything else into it. Carrying a pot of water in his left hand, a shovel in his right hand, and a large backpack on his back made it much more convenient.
It took about an hour of rest before I got up and walked in that direction. As I walked, I looked at the mountains next to me, for fear of missing the entrance and taking the wrong path.
Not long after walking, the already gloomy sky began to rain lightly. I wanted to take advantage of the light rain to go forward and be cooler, but I didn't expect that after a while, the light rain turned into heavy rain. I took out the raincoat left for me by the big ball and the big head from the backpack, put it on my body, wrapped my back tightly, and continued to walk forward.
However, the road was getting more and more slippery, and it was rainy, and the visibility was very low, and the mountains in front of me could not be seen clearly. So I had to find a place to shelter from the rain, so as not to miss the mountain without seeing clearly in the rain.
I finally found a cave, which is quite dry and should have been formed naturally. After a closer inspection, he found that the cave showed no signs of collapse, and then walked inside.
Sitting at the entrance of the cave, watching the rain outside, I don't know when I can stop, and I am upset. I simply took out my grandfather's diary again and looked at it carefully from the beginning.
Grandpa's diary is written in great detail, not only writing down the time and place, but also writing down the speculations about those things that he encounters every time he falls into the bucket.
Looking at Grandpa's diary, there is a sense of immersion, and no matter what kind of danger it is, Grandpa can always find a solution. This may be the reason why grandpa is so famous, in their line, they basically respect grandpa.
I focused on the place where I recorded the entrance, and I looked at it several times, and I could basically figure out the terrain there with my imagination. Now I believe that as long as I see that place, I can recognize it at a glance.
The rain outside showed no signs of stopping, so I ate some dry food and drank some water, threw my raincoat on the ground, and put my backpack there as a pillow to catch up on sleep. I haven't slept well in the past two days, especially when I had nightmares that night, and I basically didn't sleep all night. And rainy days are also easy to make people lazy.
When I woke up, the rain was still falling, but the dense fog outside had dispersed, and I could see it clearly, and the mountains after the rain looked even fresher. I got up and put on my backpack, put on my raincoat, and set off again, there is not much time to delay now, I want to find my grandfather as soon as possible.
In the mountains after the rain, the road is very slippery and it is very laborious to walk. What usually takes 10 minutes to complete can be completed in half an hour.
But it's a good thing that it allows me to look at the terrain carefully and compare it with the terrain in my impression, so that the chance of error is much smaller.
After walking for a long time, I saw a lot of footprints on the ground, which should have been left by Datou and Datuan, and I don't know what to do when they gave me the raincoat. They should have been sheltering from the rain nearby, but when they saw that the rain was light, they continued walking. Luckily, I didn't brave the rain just now, or I would have been hit by them.
The rain slowly stopped, the sun slowly came out, and a seven-colored rainbow appeared on the top of the mountain, which looked beautiful. But my attention was not on the rainbow, but on the mountain.
That mountain is the mountain where the cellar is located, which is recorded in my grandfather's diary, that is, the entrance is on that mountain. After looking at the directions, I headed for the mountain.
The mountain is a little far from me, and it is almost afternoon now, and I can only go to the foot of the mountain before dark, and it seems that I will have to go up the mountain after dawn tomorrow.
When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was already completely dark, and I looked around the neighborhood, but there were no caves, and there was no tent in my backpack. So I had to find a relatively dry and flat place nearby, set up a simple tent with branches and raincoats, and started a fire.
