Chapter 31: The Bone Returns to the Dragon
I'm a little surprised, the fat man's analysis, at the critical moment, has always been more reliable, 100 percent? This seems to be a bit of a stretch.
Probably seeing my doubts, the fat man opened his mouth to explain, but later, he didn't know if he thought of something, and didn't tell me explicitly, but said ambiguously: "When the time comes, you don't need to say it to the fat man, you will understand it yourself." ”
I don't know how to understand the phrase "fat man", but he has never been a person who likes to sell guanzi, and I can only understand this kind of behavior as "probably the fat man has some taboos", so he didn't say it explicitly.
Then, we continued on the road with two cars and two horses, of course, the speed of the horses was not as fast as the car, so Zhang Tangrui and others could only slow down the speed, for this, I think it is a little strange, in fact, since Zhang Tangrui and others have already got information from Bazar, then there is no need for me and the fat man at all, but why does he still follow us?
In fact, according to the current situation, the fat man and I are outsiders, and we have insight into the secret location of the Zhang family, it stands to reason that if these people are a little darker, the first thing they think of is to wipe out me and the fat man, so that the secrets of the Zhang family are not known by outsiders, and now, not only did they not do this, but they seemed to be afraid that I and the fat man would run away, slowing down the car and cooperating with our horses.
This puzzled me, and when I was on the horse, I wanted to discuss with the fat man, but my words just began, and the fat man suddenly coughed dryly, squeezed his eyes at me, and then looked at the sunset on the prairie today, and sighed: "Another dusk is coming, how to say that poem, the sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk." I choked for a moment, knowing that the fat man was diverting the subject, and seeing what he meant, it was obvious that I was not going to discuss this.
In this case, it's as if you're guarding against something.
Because everyone was so close, I couldn't ask openly, so I could only suppress my doubts.
Halfway down the sun, we were already on the second day of our journey north, and at this time, the landscape of the grassland had also undergone a relatively large transformation.
This is the depths of the Inner Mongolia grassland, because it is far away from the city, so there are almost no people, although the Mongolian people like to live with the migration of water and grass, but after all, they can not be completely separated from the society, they always buy salt and medicine, so the gathering place of the Mongolian people, is not too remote. Therefore, although this area is rich in water and grass, there are no human tracks and no flocks of sheep.
It is a compliment to say that Fengmao is a bit of a compliment, in fact, the grass here is almost a crazy trend, the green and soft Huadian grass, growing to the knees of people, the originally gentle grassland becomes undulating, so that people can't see too far, you can never guess what will happen on the other side of the undulating grassland.
Due to the undulating terrain, the soil in the low-lying place has a high water content, a foot down, it will overflow water, the abundance of aquatic plants makes a variety of aquatic insects inhabit it, we have already got the equipment when we came, the leggings as high as the knee to block the leeches and other invasions, but the more troublesome is the flying insects hidden in the aquatic plants, there are large and small, flying all over the sky, people can hardly speak, as soon as they speak, there will be some free flying insects flying into the mouth.
It was only at this time that the role of the horses finally came into play, and this low-lying grass was no longer suitable for cars, but luckily for us, they were able to close the windows to avoid the attack of flying insects, while the fat man and I could only rely on clothes as an umbrella, and the exposed skin was almost all red bumps, all of which were bitten by all kinds of insects, some itching, some painful, some not painful, but quite terrible.
The fat man, who was riding on a horse, was bitten and asked me, "Do you have any toilet water?" ”
I said, "Your uncle, why do you bring flower water?" ”
The fat man said, "Didn't you bring flower water to the shipwreck tomb in the Hidden Sea back then?" Why are you dropping the chain again at such a critical moment now? ”
I said, "I didn't bring the toilet water, but I did bring two bottles of dichlorvos." ”
The fat man said: "Dichlorvos has a fart use, if you squirt dichlorvos out, it is impossible to kill all these insects." The fat man said while itching, looking at the two Land Rovers not far from us, the look on his face was a little weird, I asked him with his eyes, what is the idea, the fat man showed an unfathomable look, said: "Don't say, you will know when the time comes." ”
Naturally, I believed in the fat man, so I didn't ask much, but the further down I went, the more frightened I became, because I had vaguely understood the fat man's plan.
If the place we walked before was just an area with a little abundance of aquatic plants, then the further down we went, we couldn't describe it as abundant, because the ground under our feet was simply silt, and the silt was rich in water, and the surface was wrapped in dense aquatic plants, forming a patch of meadows, and the meadows were full of mud and mud, and the shallow places were not on the instep, and the depths were not even above the knees.
In some places, the depth of the silt is unpredictable, like a swamp, covered by meadows outside, and it is impossible to see the true face at all, and if you are not careful, you may sink into it.
Finally, at sunset, we found a relatively dry meadow to settle in.
It is said to be dry, but in fact, as soon as you sit down, your pants will be wet, and mosquitoes will fly all over the sky at night, and no one will want to speak.
Although Zhang Tangrui and others sat in the car, they were afraid to drive into the swamp, so they were very nervous along the way, and they were also exhausted, after we got together, he took out a yellow thing from the equipment bag, and then put it into the smokeless stove, and after a while, a smell similar to herbs volatilized, and after a while, the mosquitoes disappeared without a trace, and we dared to speak at this time.
The fat man gave him a thumbs up and said, "Okay, brother, there are mosquito coils in the lower bucket, this effect is much better than that chrysanthemum." ”
I said: "Then what chrysanthemum listened, I have to slap the two of you, this is the Zhang family's secret mosquito coil, let you enjoy it, and sell it cheaply." On the other hand, Zhang Jinjing obviously didn't want to deal with us, so he asked Zhang Tangrui, and said: "Uncle Rui, I don't know how far this water land is, our car goal is too big, and if we drive forward, I'm afraid something will happen." ”
Zhang Tangrui frowned and said, "Let's drive first, drive to a place where you can't see, and then abandon the car and walk." ”
I was happy in my heart, and said that the fat man seemed to have done his homework beforehand, and once they really abandoned the car, then the chance of us getting rid of them increased greatly, and the most important thing is that animals are born to distinguish all kinds of dangers in nature, after entering this water, the fat man and I did not dare to ride a horse, we have been leading the horse, but we have never stepped into the swamp along the way, it seems that these two horses can also be our guides.
In contrast, Zhang Tangrui and others lost the two small Land Rovers, just like birds with folded wings, and their strength was greatly reduced.
Thinking of this, I am reminded of a sentence said by a foreign biologist: "Human beings were born in nature and should finally be natural, and relying too much on modern technology will only lead to self-destruction." "At some point, it's the creatures in nature that are the most powerful.
Just like the many strange creatures I have encountered over the years, their way of survival, their destructive power, cannot be solved with a few guns.
No wonder I was kicked by the fat man when I wanted to abandon the horse before, it turned out that he was waiting for me here, I couldn't help but wonder, how could the fat man know the terrain here? Could it be that he has been here? It's not like that.
Although I was suspicious, I didn't ask, anyway, I still waited for the two of them to talk in private.
That night, we spent the night on the meadow, and the next day we continued on our way, by which time a mountain range could be faintly seen at the end of the meadow.
As soon as I saw that mountain range, I thought it was very strange.
Geographical distribution, there are certain laws, this law, mostly from millions of years ago geological movements, for example, where two plates are squeezed, there must be a mountain range, and the same grassland's unique geographical environment, so that it can only become flat.
But now, in the endless grassland, there is suddenly an extra mountain range, so it looks weird.
In fact, it can't be considered a mountain range, it can only be regarded as a relatively long mountain.
The mountain is not high, but the trend is like a snake, winding and long, concave and obscure, it is difficult to get a glimpse of the true face, and the middle of the mountain is also separated by a section, like a big dragon being cut off by the waist.
I've been fighting for a few years, and I've never been in contact with feng shui before, but as the so-called doing one line and learning one line, I have also come into contact with some feng shui knowledge later.
If the middle of this mountain range is intact, then this place is an excellent dragon vein, the surrounding terrain is flat, the top of the mountain is upturned, just like the dragon raising its head, and there is no obstacle around, making it more convenient for the dragon to stretch.
But this dragon was cut off by the waist, and it can only be said that it is the creation of heaven and earth, and it cannot be tolerated.
Just when all of us were attracted by the dead dragon at the end of the horizon, the taciturn Zhang Heqing suddenly said: "Bone back to the dragon." I was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at him.
Bone Echo Dragon is the last sentence of the code word.
Could it be that this kid has discovered something? Obviously, I was not the only one who was attracted by Zhang Heqing's words, and the rest of the people, including the fat man, also instantly moved their eyes to him, and the fat man said: "Boy, what do you want to say, hurry up." ”
Jinjing glared at the fat man and said gently, "Heqing, did you find something?" ”
Zhang Heqing looked a little hesitant, but finally nodded and said, "Didn't you notice that the mountain range in front of you is missing a keel?" I couldn't help but hiss, slightly shocked in my heart, it seems that this taciturn boy has two brushes, and he should know the ability to find dragons and explore caves, which is amazing.
But after thinking about it, these things may not be anything at all to the Zhang family, and it would be strange if they really didn't know anything.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Heqing began to explain, pointing to the dead dragon and talking, the more he said, the more reliable I felt, and a thought flashed in my heart: It's over, I'm afraid these people can't get rid of it.
