Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sickness



Xiuxiu couldn't help covering her mouth and muttered, "How is it possible, he is still alive?" Xiaohua stretched out his hand to probe the neck of the German, there was a faint beating on it, he looked around, paused slightly, and sighed: "This cave has come to an end, Wu Xie and they should not be here." ”

Xiuxiu frowned and said, "If not, then where will they go?" ”

Xiaohua tore some cloth from the corpse, connected it into a rope, tied the German's hands behind her back, let Lao Mao carry the person, and said to Xiuxiu: "We have tried our best, if we can't find it again, we can only say that they are unlucky, let's go." Then the three men carried the German back on their shoulders, and soon came out of the cave, outside which there was a bonfire not far from the roots, and the rest of the men were roasting around the fire, and fine snowflakes were falling in the night sky.

As soon as Samba saw the three of them, he immediately exclaimed and said, "Great, they came out." The old man gasped tiredly, threw the German to the ground, and shouted at Samba, "What a howl." ”

The remaining four Great Khans immediately shouted, "Ninth Master, Boss." ”

Xiaohua nodded and said, "How long has it been." ”

One of them replied, "You have been going down for a whole day, and we think that if we don't come out again tonight, we will go down with heavy fire to find you." Xiaohua waved her hand and said, "This is not the place to camp, go back to the cave." Immediately afterwards, the group extinguished the bonfire, rushed to the cave with their equipment, and arrived at their destination in the second half of the night.

The group was busy for a day and a night, and the three of Xiuxiu were even more thrilling, sleeping deeply all night, and when they woke up the next day, they found that the German had woken up, but they were like idiots, neither talking nor looking at people, their eyes were hooked, either staring at the ground or looking at a vast piece of snow.

The old man was half dead angrily, and kicked him a few times to take revenge, but he didn't see the man react.

Lao Mao said: "Ninth Master, what should I do, or do you want to solve it on the spot?" He made a gesture of releasing the gun, and Samba closed his eyes in fright, and recited the Buddhist scriptures in his mouth. Xiaohua didn't know what to consider, ignored Lao Mao, and only said a word to take the person with him, and then, the group gave up looking for Wu Xie and began to continue to circumnavigate the Nima Snow Mountain under the leadership of Samba, until they reached the foot of the mountain and found the stones left by passers-by.

At this point, I listened to Xiuxiu's explanation, and began to take care of the stunned German, who was honestly no longer human, so I didn't even notice at first glance that he was a foreigner.

His skin was very pale, showing a faint blue, his skin was loose, his eyes were closed like a dead man, and he was about 1.8 meters tall, but his body was very thin, and he looked empty in our winter suits.

I think what Xiuxiu said is obviously wrong, if this German is really from 80 years ago, then wouldn't he have lived for more than 100 years?

Obviously a little unlikely, or is that the team not the same as it was eighty years ago, but a foreign team that has entered the mountains in recent years? But Xiuxiu's description of their equipment is too strange, and things seem too unreasonable.

At this time, several people in the cave were already asleep, only Xiuxiu and I were left, and the old man didn't sleep, he must have heard Xiuxiu talk about the cave for the first time, and before I could speak, he whispered: "Is there such a thing?" Tsk, if it weren't for our ninth master, ordinary people would have been scared for a long time. "The Xie family ranks ninth in the old nine gates, and the people in charge of the family are all honored as the ninth master on the road, I think about Xiaohua's appearance and figure, and I am called by the ninth master and the ninth master, how do I think it feels weird.

I glanced at Xiaohua and saw that she had already slept deeply, so I asked, "Lao Mao, you must have been following your ninth master for a long time." ”

Originally, I didn't want to delve into the purpose of Xiaohua and Xiuxiu, but what happened during this period of time made me feel more and more uneasy, everything seemed to be pushed behind by a pair of hands, and all the people related to that incident were gathered in Kunlun Mountain.

I'm looking for the third uncle and the fat man, but what about Xiaohua and Xiuxiu? What did they come here for?

Although Xiuxiu kept saying that it was because of Mrs. Huo's notes, in my opinion, things are far more than that. Because of Mrs. Huo's affairs, the Huo family and the Xie family were already estranged, but this time they met, Xiuxiu was very close to Xiaohua; Secondly, Xiaohua has decided to break away from the old nine gates, whitewash the Xie family, and transfer her net worth abroad, but she suddenly came back, just because of a Tianyuan coffin who didn't know what there was?

If their target is the Ghost Seal, then what is the use of them asking for the Ghost Seal?

Unless...... There are other things they haven't told me, for example, the time Xiuxiu saw Chen Wenjin, Chen Wenjin said more than that, maybe they have other information that I don't know.

This information attracted the two to cooperate and decided to find the ghost seal in the coffin of Tianyuan.

Or maybe their goal is not the ghost seal at all, but something else, then...... What is it?

After Xiuxiu said this at the moment, she had already gotten into the sleeping bag, I was thinking if I could poke out some information from Lao Mao's mouth, who knew that he was also an unreliable person, listening to my question, he immediately waved his hand and said: "It's been three years, Master Wu, you are also a peer, you should know that what you do in our line of work is to pay attention to a mind and skills, we are rough people, we don't understand the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, so we naturally have to find a tree to lean on." He grinned and said, "What's the matter, you want to dig into the corner?" You can't give the price that our ninth master gave. ”

I watched him talk more and more energetically, so I sneered and said, "You Ninth Master has special tastes, I can't compare, and I'm not interested in you and your brother." Lao Mao snorted, patted me on the shoulder, and lowered his voice: "Actually...... I'm not interested in you either, so when you get to the bucket, be careful not to be slapped on the head by the devil. ”

When I heard him say this, I couldn't help sneering and said, "After doing it for a long time, I'm still a fellow villager in Changsha." ”

Lao Mao smiled and didn't speak, fell to the ground with his legs crossed, and snored after a while.

I slept too much during the day, I didn't have much sleepiness at the moment, plus I had little to eat, and my stomach rebelled badly, my eyes couldn't help but look at the barbecue meat put on the fur by passer-by A, and I was about to take a piece to fill my stomach, and the sentence of passer-by A suddenly sounded in my mind: keep a good vigil and don't eat secretly.

I looked at the hand that I had stretched out, how I looked at it, how I felt the nest, and then reacted and cursed secretly: Fuck it, listen to him to call it a nest. I ate two pieces of meat in one go, and when it was about to dawn, I fell asleep in a daze, and suddenly I heard a lot of movement in the cave, and then I heard Xiaohua's voice: "Rest for a day, and go on the road tomorrow." ”

I thought to myself, this 10,000-mile long march has just begun, we are delayed all the way, no matter how much dry food can not be so consumed, I want to speak, but I find that my throat is very dry, as if it was stitched by a needle, I can't open my mouth.

Immediately afterwards, a cold hand was placed on my forehead, and I heard Xiuxiu say, "The fever has subsided, you go and collect more firewood." Then there was the sound of people moving.

It took time, I felt a lot of thick things on my body, and the cold air around me was blocked all of a sudden, I guess it was Xiaohua who covered me with thick clothes or something, and I don't know how many layers were added, I seemed to be pressed by a ghost, my body was very heavy, and I couldn't move.

Although my body was blunt at this time, I was still conscious, and I couldn't help but think of the German who had snow blindness and was blind, and anyway, my teammates didn't abandon me, and I was much luckier than that.

Thinking about it like this, Xiaohua and Xiuxiu's doubts in my heart were also alleviated, although I don't know what happened in it, I believe that Xiaohua will not deliberately harm me.

The fat man always said that I was a weak scholar, and I couldn't stand the wind and rain, so I was interested, and from time to time I sang two sentences of Dream of Red Mansions to ridicule me: Sister Wu fell from the sky, like a small grass blowing in the wind and rain. The broken gong voice, coupled with the lyrics, I was so angry that I wanted to kick him twice, but he flashed very fast, and I had little time to succeed.

It's not that I'm really weak, in this era when people around the world are in sub-health, my physique is not bad, and I am a sunny young man in the crowd, but I am mixed in the fat man and the third uncle, who have been fighting for many years and have good physical strength, so I am naturally compared. I've always objected to the fat man saying that I was weak, but I didn't expect it to be planted this time, and I dragged my feet at the critical moment.

I was dazed, sometimes awake and sometimes asleep, and I don't know how long, but my energy eased up, and I opened my eyes, and found that the sky was bright, and the windshield at the entrance of the cave was replaced by a dark green tarpaulin.

This is a common thing for mountaineering and camping, and during the war against Burma in the 40s, the army was equipped with this kind of tarpaulin. The sky in Myanmar is cloudy and foggy, and there are dense primeval jungles everywhere, marching and fighting in the jungle, the cotton quilt has been wet for a long time, and there are insects, and later the United States ** supported a batch of rain cloths, which are flexible and waterproof, spread on the ground, block the damp earth, and can be used as tents when propped up, so it is a very popular military equipment.

Of course, in modern times, there are many things that replace it, and it has long been absent from the army, and now it is mostly used as equipment for mountaineering expeditions, and it is lightweight when stacked, so it is very popular.

The tarpaulin was opened at the entrance of the cave, and the corners were pressed against the corners with large stones, revealing only a man-wide exit for people to enter and exit, and bright sky light came in from the outside. The cave is only about ten square meters on the left and right, and the space is limited, and I am now lying upright on the ground, covered with a pile of heavy clothes, so most of it is occupied.

There was a bonfire burning in the remaining area, I moved, and found that there was some tightness on my body, and when I looked down, I found that the wound on my body had been well treated, and the medicine was applied, and the gauze was wrapped, and the wound was not as hot and painful as it was at the beginning.

There was no one in the cave, there was a faint sound of talking from outside, my body regained my strength, so I put on my clothes and walked outside the cave, and found Xiaohua and passerby A sitting on a stone, the two of them lowered their heads, with a notebook in their hands, I stepped forward and found that it was my grandfather who left Mrs. Huo with half of the map.
