Born in Mali Mountain, we dared to venture into the mountains when we were eight years old. Time flies, five years have passed, and now Luo Da and I have grown into adults, and that guy is a hunter. He eats a lot of meat and is exceptionally strong, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is sixteen or seventeen years old, and I have lived in Wuguniang Mountain for several years, and I am not timid at all.

After a few words, the two bold guys hit it off and found the leader of the survey team who stayed in the village. Said that he was going to go into the mountains to look for it.

The survey team came with a total of more than 20 people this time, and three of them were left in Longjialing, an old man cooking. There are also two leaders, one surnamed Liu. A man surnamed Ma, leader Liu is in his forties, wearing a blue cadre uniform, four pockets, and black-framed glasses, leader Ma is a little younger than him, with narrow eyes and a scar on his cheek, which is very fierce. The survey team has been in the mountains for more than 20 days, and there is no news, and they are also very anxious, but Luo Da and I still feel ridiculous when they come to us like this, and they don't want to pay attention to us, and Leader Ma still wants to drive us out of the door.

Their virtue made Luo Da very angry, there was his father in the survey team, and his ability was much greater than him, he was not good at comparing, so he pushed me forward and said arrogantly: "Do you know who he is?" The closed disciples of the Shangqing sect master Li Daochang are very capable, and we don't ask you what you want, just tell us, where they went to explore, we will find it ourselves. ”

Luo Da said hardly, and I have been doing chores in front of the old Tao in Tsing Yi over the years, and I have not let go of the Taoist scriptures after returning home, and there is a kind of calmness that surpasses Luo Da's peers, and they are also in a hurry to go to the doctor, and asked: "Haven't you asked for advice?" ”

I saw that these two were serious, but they didn't have a leader's shelf, but some roads in the rivers and lakes, so I said without humility or arrogance: "I was robbed earlier, and I was deeply blessed, but I met a teacher and learned a little fur. I didn't want to ask about this matter, but Dr. Chen Zhili, who went into the mountain with the survey team, is my father, so I can only venture into the mountain to have a look. "I said indifferently, next to my own Luo Da will my glorious deeds one by one, from the stream of water ghosts, to the curse of the infant spirit, erase the credit of others, and then tell the story, infinitely highlight my tall and majestic image, the two leaders did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly invited us into the house, after some interrogation, the leader surnamed Liu patted his thigh, said it's okay, the cauldron is broken, we enter the mountain.

Two and a half children, with a monkey, flickered the leaders of the two survey teams left behind into the mountain together, and the sun was rising, and we had already passed the snail forest.

Reckless Mali Mountain, hundreds of miles of mountain road twists and turns, the snail forest is the closest place to the outside world, into the inside, is the boundless mountain of the mountain, from the east is the Wuguniang Mountain, hit the south and go to the creek where I suffered before, and then go to the dumb their seedling village. The survey team was different from the Japanese in that it was not an iron ore survey, so it went north.

Out of the snail forest, as soon as you enter the mountain, this road will not be a road, the thatch on both sides of the animal path can be taller than people, very difficult to walk.

Luo Da didn't study all these years, followed his father all over the mountains, learned a lot of skills, his iron sand gun was taken away by the mountain dog, only a sharpened fast knife in his hand, all the way in front of the path, the body is vigorous, but also has a bit of his father's demeanor. After walking for a long time, he found the mark left by the mountain dog, which was a kind of mark carved on the tree, he touched it with his hand, his brows were furrowed, and he came back to discuss with me: "Erdan, this mark has been some time, my father is afraid that they have suffered some disaster?" ”

There are wolves in this mountain, I know, in addition to wolves, it is said that there are tigers, and there are many strange things in the mouths of many old people, but there are more than 20 people, and none of them can come back.

It doesn't make sense, Luo Da's father has been exchanging salt with the seedling village in the deep mountains all the year round, and has made a deep friendship, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to call the mute Ba Nuer out of the mountain to do things?

It's a bit beyond our imagination, but no matter how difficult it is, there are still two of us fathers among the missing people, and we will definitely find them. We fed back the matter to the two leaders who came with us, and they didn't say much, saying that it didn't matter, just go in, and when we got to the designated place, we would talk about it.

It is also strange to say that these two leaders are different from the cadres we have seen before, carrying two big bags on their backs, running for so long on the mountain road, their faces are not red or panting, and they are full of energy, and I don't know if it is because they have been running in the mountains all year round. It's still early, and we don't delay, we go forward again, and every time we walk, Luo Da can always find the unique mark left by his father, and then follow this guidance.

The two leaders were very satisfied with me and Luo Da, they actually wanted to come in for a long time, mainly because they were not familiar with the mountain, and they were afraid of getting lost.

The mountain roads are difficult to walk, but they can't stop us from losing our loved ones. We were in a hurry, and we came without telling our families, so we didn't have much preparation except for a few poops, but the two leaders of the survey team were well prepared, and the military flat kettle and delicious canned meat were able to replenish the body. Walking and stopping, the footsteps were hurried, and before we knew it was already afternoon, we came to a spacious stream, on both sides of which were high mountain streams, and the water was also turbulent, and the setting sun was setting through the trees, and we could see the surface of the stream, and there were golden reflections.

I saw the throats of the two leaders squirm involuntarily, and I immediately understood that there was gold sand in the sand below the stream, and if it could be scooped up, it would really be an excellent business.

Sure enough, seeing this scene, the two leaders couldn't walk, put down the backpacks on their bodies, took out a dustpan-shaped funnel from it, and then rolled up their trouser legs and walked towards the slightly gentler stream downstream. If it was on weekdays, Luo Da and I might have followed, but no matter how good the gold was, there was no father, so I stood on the stones on the shore and shouted to the two leaders: "Leader Liu, Leader Ma, we still have to hurry, can we stay here?" ”

Leader Liu lowered his head and looked for gold sand in the stream, while Leader Ma waved at us impatiently and shouted: "Child, you look for it on the shore first, and we will come up after a while." ”

Seeing that they all fell into the eyes of money, and the lives of more than a dozen people could not match the gold sand in those streams, Luo Da immediately wanted to get angry, his neck was red, I grabbed him, and whispered: "Don't worry, they don't look for it, we will find it ourselves." Luo Da was persuaded by me, and still muttered indignantly: "These two people don't look like leading cadres at all, but like capitalism in the eyes of losing money." ”

I didn't reply, I looked around, and saw that there seemed to be something in a meadow upstream, and hurriedly pulled Luo Da over to look.

The stream was under the mountain stream, and there were boulders in the upper and lower reaches, and it took us a quarter of an hour to climb before we arrived at the scene, and saw that this was the temporary camp of the survey team, with tents, bedding, pots and pans, and I also found my father's paulownia medicine box in a tent.

The place is found, but what about the people?

Luo Da and I glanced at each other, and we both felt a strange feeling creep up in our hearts, ran out of the camp, and shouted downstream, saying that we had found it. Luo Da's voice was loud, although there were a few big stones across it, but the entire mountain stream echoed, but the two leaders did not reply, I don't know if they were squinted by the golden sand, or what, sniffed, and suddenly smelled a strong stench, so he pulled out the small sword on his waist, held it tightly, and then said to the little monkey next to him: "Fat girl, go and take a look!" "The paw page has.

The fat girl got the order, her nose fluttered, and then she ran towards the small forest next to her, I followed closely behind, the more I went inside, the stronger the stench, and when I came to the front, I heard the fat girl's mournful scream, and looked up, but saw the tree in front of me, hanging four long tongues of corpses.

The corpses were already half-decomposed, dripping corpse fluids dripping down, white maggots shuttled under the dermis of the skin, limbs drooping, and as soon as the wind blew, I fell to my knees, and wow, the luncheon meat at noon was directly vomited.
