Shennongjia is located in the western border of northern Hubei Province, bordering Baokang County in northern Hubei Province in the east, adjacent to Wushan County of Xichuan in the west (Yucheng was established in 1997), adjacent to Xingshan Mountain and Badong in the south, and near the Three Gorges in the south, Shiyanfang County in the north, Zhushan and near Wudang, the radius of the forest area is more than 3,000 square kilometers, it is an extremely broad mountainous area, although I have been in the south of Shennongjia for half a year, but almost all of them are in the Guanyin Cave activities, so it is not very familiar, but I am a mountain baby, I am used to the mountain road, and it will not be very difficult.
The main work of our working group is to cooperate with the scientific expedition team's action, Cheng Lao wants to go into the mountains to survey the terrain, Shen Chong He needs to be rectified in the village, and he can't accompany him, so he sent Dai Qiao and I to follow along, along with a friend of Cheng Lao's grandson, and Zhang Zhiqing.
A group of five people, the mountain in the morning, before that, the white-bearded old grandson had already come here, the old horse knew the way, and took us all the way to the mountain, and came to a dense forest next to two small hills, it was noon, and the scorching sun was high. Lao Sun is in his sixties, a little younger than Cheng Lao, although he is also called Teacher Sun, but he is not a person in the academic world, along the way, I can always hear some feng shui terms from his mouth, so it can be seen that Lao Sun should be almost the same as Liu Laosan, the difference is that one looks at feng shui, and the other gives fortune telling.
Cheng is quite old, and his status in this academic world is beyond the reach of ordinary people, so it is inevitable that there are some eccentricities in his personality, when he walks, except for chatting with Lao Sun about the address of the ancient tomb, there is basically no communication with others, and Zhang Zhiqing, who is very eloquent on weekdays, is also extremely silent in front of his teacher.
I am small, and there is nothing to taboo, sometimes I chat with Zhang Zhiqing, and sometimes I talk to Sister Dai Qiao, that Sister Dai Qiao's personality is also relatively silent, not very speakable, I have known her for so many days, I have not seen her take the initiative to talk to people, I wanted to ask her if she has something to do with Principal Dai, but it has not been successful. But even so, I was able to play with the fat girl, and as soon as the little monkey entered the mountain, it was like a fish in the water, and he was so happy that he jumped up the branch and walked through the woods.
The fat girl has spirituality, I don't worry about it getting lost, let it jump around, Cheng Lao was interested at this time, and asked me a few questions, when I learned that the little monkey was my partner, he turned out to be the same as the old Taoist in Tsing Yi back then, and said meaningfully: "Well, this little monkey is good, sometimes, people are not as good as this beast......"
Finally arrived at the destination, Cheng Lao and Lao Sun patrolled back and forth in the recess between the two small mountain bags, not letting us go forward, the two kept discussing, pointing to the woods next to them for a while, and pointing to the sky for a while, the two took out the rubbings of the silk book from the bag, according to the above description and the map that was so abstract that it was impossible to identify at all, pointed out one by one, and even made a big noise when it came to the heat, and then asked Zhang Zhiqing to take out a strange shovel from the backpack and dig a few pits in the place they chose.
Digging a pit is a hard job, even if Zhang Zhiqing has gone to the countryside to farm, he is a little out of breath, I want to go over to help, but I was stopped by Cheng Lao, and let me and Sister Dai Qiao stay in the distance.
I recognized the shovel that Zhang Zhiqing was holding, which was almost the same style as the one used by the leaders who pretended to be the prospecting team.
This thing is called Luoyang shovel, I already knew at that time, this thing is a famous tool used to rob tombs and dig graves, with ash poles, and even know what is buried in the ground of more than ten meters. We came this time, lightly traveling, and did not bring any large survey equipment, because we only made sure in advance, and if there were, we would immediately protect the site and then apply for funds for the excavation work. It is our responsibility to protect the personal safety of the members of the scientific expedition team, but in the face of Cheng Lao's conscious estrangement, Sister Dai Qiao still expressed some dissatisfaction, looked at it coldly from a distance, and did not step forward to make fun of it.
Digging stopped, Zhang Zhiqing sweated and dug a total of four pits under the recess of this mountain, Cheng Lao and Lao Sun looked at them one by one, very carefully, the soil in each place was carefully looked over, and the old grandson even wiped a handful of mud and sent it to his mouth, and he didn't know what he could taste like if he smashed his head like this.
The sun was in the west, and we went back with four parts of dirt, and Cheng Lao decided not to mention anything about the address of the ancient tomb, and carefully guarded against it. I didn't have any curiosity at all, so I helped Zhang Zhiqing carry the soil and walked all the way ahead, and when I came back, Cheng Lao found Shenzhong, and several leaders discussed it in the house for a long time, and I didn't know what to say.
These troubles, their own leaders to worry about, and I found Xiao Lu in a fellow villager's house, he had nothing to do today, squatted at the entrance of the village for a day of sun, saw me, and happily asked if he had eaten. Between me and Xiao Lu, there was still some competition in the past, but since Huang Qi came to our second department, we have been enemies for a long time, and we have become much closer to each other.
After chatting a few words, Xiao Lu asked me, why do these people attach so much importance to this matter?
What is the difference between digging a day earlier and digging a day later, and making it so like a great enemy is really some people are panicking.
The meaning of this trip has already given us a unified thought before Shen Chong came out, but Xiao Lu has always felt that dead things are not as good as living things, and those things that are dug out of the soil and the historical significance produced have nothing to do with his half a dime. The tense atmosphere of the working group in the past few days has made all of us feel like a big stone is pressing on our hearts, and there are many complaints in private. I didn't bother to echo these whining words, and I didn't bother to talk about them, and when I asked about Huang Qi, Xiao Lu told me that that guy refused to be with us, and he was messing with those soldiers all day today.
It was already night, someone brought dinner, it was a steamed bun made by the villagers, after we finished eating, we didn't talk about it anymore, the working group was disciplined, and it was not allowed to go out without permission, so we rested early.
But this sleep did not sleep well, in the middle of the night, there was a sudden order outside, saying that it was necessary to gather urgently, this is really going to kill people, we in a room of five people began to scold the mother, I didn't expect the messenger to be more fierce, directly outside pulled up the bolt, shouted: "Everyone, get up immediately, go to the barn at the entrance of the village to gather, and then verbosity, then move the gun!" This made everyone wake up, guns are murder weapons, soldiers generally don't say this, and once they say it, it means that they really have this kind of thought.
Xiao Lu and I hurriedly got up, hastily put on our clothes, and hurriedly ran towards the barn at the entrance of the village with the other people in the house.
Most of the people in the field had just woken up and didn't know what had happened, but when they reported it, they realized that there was one person missing. That person was from the scientific expedition team, a student of Cheng Lao, named Zhang Kuai.
I don't have any impression of this person at all, but Xiao Lu remembers that he told me that he was an honest male student wearing black-rimmed glasses. This man is missing, what the hell is going on? No one knew, and the leading few people looked stern, and when it was clear that the missing person was about Zhang Kuai, Cheng Lao and Shen Zhong had another discussion. They were able to lower their voices at first, but after saying a few words, the anger on both sides increased, and we could also hear a little bit on the side, to the effect that Cheng Lao was afraid that there would be a rumor leaking out, and someone would take the lead, and we needed to go out immediately and go to the mountains, while Shen Zhong came out with a safety problem, thinking that it was too dangerous to rush at night, so it was better to wait until dawn, and then we would go.
From the village to the small hill we arrived at during the day, the distance is far away, the key is that there are still a few streams, and it is indeed not safe to walk at night, but Cheng Lao grasped this problem and must go out immediately.
In order to strengthen his determination, he even said to Shen Zhong very strongly: "This operation, I will take it as a result, if you insist on violating my intentions, then I will lead people into the mountain myself." ”
These words made Shen Zhong completely speechless, and he no longer had the intention of arguing with this stubborn old man, but after hesitating for a while, he ordered everyone to temporarily store the large luggage in the village, leaving four members of the working group to guard here, while the rest of the people immediately entered the mountain and went to the place called "Shuangbaoqiu" by Cheng Lao. Most of the people immediately complained about this order, but since there was an order from above, it must be obeyed, so the big guys began to march towards the mountain by the light of flashlights and torches.
In the mountains, walking during the day and walking at night are two different concepts, these people in the working group are okay, the scientific expedition team led by Cheng Lao is miserable, stumbling, not long after, Cheng Lao and Shen Zhong and others temporarily decided to divide the team into two sections, Lao Sun and Dai Qiaojie took the lead, with five members of the team with good physique, and they were in the big army, and then arrived.
I followed Cheng Lao to Shuangbaoqiu during the day, so I was also included in this list, in addition, there are Zhang Zhiqing, Xiao Lu, Gu Xia from the working group and a soldier.
Cheng Lao was very anxious, after a few instructions, we hurried forward, trotting all the way, and finally after more than two hours, staggered to Shuangbao Hill, but before we could get closer, but now in the few pits dug by Zhang Zhiqing during the day, there were blue flames, more than a dozen, floating up and down in the mountain recess.
This scene is particularly strange in the dark.
