The three of them walked and rested, and after more than three hours, when they were about to reach the mouth of hell, Huang Banxian told everyone to rest again. Then he said to Duan or Gen: "Xiao Duan, you rest here, Xiao Qi and I will walk up again, do something, come back in two hours at most, and then everyone will go back together." Don't wander around, it's easy to get lost because it's a mountainous and forested place. ”

After saying this, he took out some bread, ham sausages, drinks, and other food from his backpack and put them on a clean stone, and commanded: "It's almost time to eat, you can eat when you are hungry, and we will eat on it when we go up." ”

"I'm a little scared alone." The surname Duan muttered quietly.

"What are you afraid of a young man, afraid that the female savage will rape you?" Qi Yunsheng made a joke, and handed the Walkman to the surnamed Duan along with a few batteries: "Give!" Replace yourself with a new battery, isn't it just to listen to songs for another two hours, what's there to be afraid of! ”

"Don't be afraid, there are no wild beasts here, as long as you don't wander around and get lost, there is no danger." Huang Banxian said as he divided the things on Duan's or Gen's back into the weight of the two of them, and then recruited his apprentices to continue walking towards the mountain.

About forty minutes later, they came to the mouth of hell.

Qi Yunsheng has been following the master for ten years, but he has never heard the master talk about this place. Nothing strange looks like here. However, there is a bare gray stone flat about 10 meters in diameter on the mountainside of the northern slope of the mountain, which is densely forested. There is a stone pit with a diameter of about five meters in the middle of the stone flat, and some patterns are engraved on the wall of the pit, which have been damaged by wind and rain for many years, and they have been blurred. In the middle of the pit is a two-meter square bag of stones, like a grave.

Huang Banxian didn't explain anything to him, but just told him to spread out the big green canvas on his back and spread it on the stone lawn, apparently trying to cover the stone pit.

Qi Yunsheng was working according to Master's arrangement, but he still couldn't help but ask Master, "What are we doing here?" ”

Huang Banxian asked Qi Yunsheng to straighten the green canvas and measure the area. Then start marking the boundary between the rocks and the greenery with chalk. After hearing his apprentice's question, he thought for a moment before he said, "We are going to cover this place with a green canvas, which has two functions: one is to hide this place so that people can not find it from the air or other mountain tops. The second is to protect against the weather, the wind and rain will mess up the traces here, and now the traces here are the most valuable. He smiled mysteriously.

Qi Yunsheng still didn't quite understand, only to see that the master took out a small electric hammer with a battery and arranged for him to punch holes in the rock that had just been marked with chalk.

Huang Banxian first put five or six crowbars, four flashlights, a bundle of rope, a bucket of water, a few boxes lined with soft cloth, and other things into the stone pit, and then pulled the canvas to cover them. Then he took out the dozens of expansion bolts in his bag and nailed them one by one with a hammer into the holes that Qi Yunsheng had just punched. After nailing the bolts, he stuffed tools such as electric hammers and hammers under the canvas to cover them. Then he and Qi Yunsheng worked together to fasten the metal buckles on the canvas to the bolts one by one.

The master and apprentice worked hard for more than 40 minutes before they were finished. At this time, the mouth of hell is completely covered with green canvas, blending in with the green vegetation around it. Not to mention the distance, if you don't look carefully at fifty meters away, you won't be able to find this place.

The two turned around and went down the mountain, because there was no weight, and they walked down the mountain again, and they felt much more relaxed. On the way back, they were able to spare time to provide food to satisfy their hunger.

While eating, Qi Yunsheng couldn't help but be curious, and asked the master what place they were covering and if there was anything in it.

Huang Banxian smiled with a smug and mysterious smile and replied, "I don't know what it is, and I don't know what it is. The English philosopher Bacon said: 'Man's ability to understand is not merely determined by the intellect, it is subservient to man's will and emotions.' What people want to believe is always what they subconsciously want to come true. ’”

That is to say, what is here is up to those who take the bait to imagine and discover for themselves. Then they will believe more. To put it bluntly, it is not me who they believe, but their own power! Therefore, for a scam, the more details we do, the bigger the flaw. This is the same as painting, it is important to leave white space, and leave room for imagination for the deceived person to make up for it by himself. So I said I don't know what it is. ”

On the way, Huang Banxian asked Qi Yunsheng about some sections or roots. He didn't think he could just let him out to increase the possibility of leaks, just in case, it was better to control him first.

It took less than twenty minutes for them to return to the place where they had broken up with Duan or Gen. I saw the surname Duan wearing headphones, sitting with his head tilted against a big tree, with a trace of crystal hala hanging on his mouth, obviously having entered a sweet dreamland.

Qi Yunsheng smiled evilly and stepped forward and pulled his arms violently with both hands, and shouted at the same time: "It's on fire, run!" ”

The surnamed Duan jumped up in fright, and he was about to run down the mountain without a head, but was stopped by Huang Banxian, who was watching the joke on the side. Huang Banxian scolded with a smile: "Are you scared, little guy?" I see that you are not small, you are alone in the mountains and forests and say that you will sleep. ”

"I'm so tired, I'm tired." The surname Duan explained in a whisper.

"Can you still have me and Master tired? We haven't stopped on our feet until now. Qi Yunsheng said proudly.

Huang Banxian stepped forward to interrupt the idle conversation between the two: "Okay, it's not early, and it will be dark in a while." We still have more than two hours to go in the mountains. Let's hit the road! ”

On the way, Huang Banxian began to flicker Duan or Gen: "How long will your Shandong students stay in Shiyan, and how long?" ”

"It's been two months in total, more than a month has passed, and there are still twenty days left."

"Oh, if you don't go to the workshop for internship like this, won't the teacher care?"

"We are commissioned trainees, and the team is led by people sent by the commission training unit, not our teachers. You should know that the cadres of these state-owned enterprises, they don't care whether we go for internships or not, they themselves go to Wudang Mountain, Shennongjia, Wuhan and other places. Nobody cares about us now. ”

"Can you do me a favor these days?"

"How can you help?"

"That's right, I'm going to start a wild mushroom farming program in this mountainous area, and my apprentice and I just went to repair the mushroom breeding base. Our mushroom varieties are very delicate, in order to prevent accidents, so the breeding place and variety must be kept secret from you, please forgive me. In the next few days, I will go back to the city to pull customers. The care of this farm requires my apprentice to be here. But I don't feel at ease that he is a half-grown child living alone in the mountains, so I would like to ask you to stay here with him for a few days, in the thatched hut we just came. In fact, it is just for the two of them to take care of each other. ”

Duan or Gen hesitated and didn't answer after listening, it seemed that he wanted to refuse but didn't dare.

"Fifty dollars a day!" Huang Banxian threw down the last straw that broke the camel's back.

When Qi Yunsheng heard the sentence "fifty a day", his eyes were about to pop out. Because at that time it was almost the salary level of a middle leader in a large company.

"Good!" Duan or Gen clearly leaned towards the latter in the trade-off between fear (environment), demons (Qi Yunsheng), and money.

Huang Banxian immediately took out five hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to Duan or Gen, and said, "This is a twenty-day deposit, the deposit is half of the full amount, and after twenty days, I will give you another five hundred." Oh, by the way, are you going to talk to you, they misunderstood and thought you were missing. ”

Duan or Gen took the money and smiled: "Just go back and tell my classmates in the same dormitory." ”

Huang Banxian thought for a while and said, "Don't go back and say it, it's too troublesome." In this way, there is no signal in the mountains, and mobile phones cannot be used. The three of us go to the nearest village first, you go and call your classmates, and then buy some food with Xiao Qi and come back. As for me, I'll go straight back to the city. Okay? ”

"Okay!"

"You two have to be honest here, don't be naughty, there are trees all around, so don't play with fire and don't eat indiscriminately......"

"Got it! Master, at your level, it's enough to be the master of Sun Wukong! ”

With a snap, after rewarding the apprentice with a melon scoop, Huang Banxian continued to read in pieces: "You must come to the village for dinner at noon, from half past eleven to twelve o'clock, I will call you, report the situation, and report safety to each other." The phone will be made by me, my phone bill is monthly, and you are a recharge card, so I will save money when I call. I can remind you that only this village has a signal, and if you go somewhere else to play, you won't get a call, and then I'll have to teach you a lesson for disobedience, you know? ”

After he finished speaking, he handed Qi Yunsheng a flip phone.

Qi Yunsheng took the phone and asked the master secretly: "Why do you spend this unjust money to invite this coward surnamed Duan?" Huang Banxian patiently taught him: "It's to avoid revealing the wind." I had to watch him get on the train back to Shandong before I could rest assured. Before that, you kept an eye on him. Qi Yunsheng suddenly agreed.

After the three of them finished talking, Huang Banxian pushed out a motorcycle from behind the thatched hut, lit the fire, and let the two teenagers sit in the back seat and drive towards the village just mentioned.
