Chapter 6: Attacked in the middle of the night
Hearing me say this, Lantern Xiao was a little nervous, "Last time, we used grenades to barely escape from Shekou, and now that we have predicted this possibility in advance, should we find a way to get a bazooka first!" ”
I knew that Lantern Festival was starting to talk nonsense again, so I didn't bother to pay attention to him. The legend that Anado's father told us was supposed to be a casual conversation after dinner, but because of what happened to Qilian Mountain, it brought us a lot of pressure.
I looked at Wen Mo, "Boss, what do you think about this?" ”
Wen Mo shook his head, "What we encountered in Qilian Mountain should be the Ba Snake, but the fact that one of the ancient relics can survive is already a miracle among miracles, and there is no possibility of a second one here." ”
For Wenmo, Lantern Xiao and I have established a sense of trust, and we can't help but breathe a sigh of relief when we hear him say this. At this time, I heard Wen Mo continue: "However, the Miao people have always been inherited in an orderly manner, and their history is extremely long, and their legends are sometimes not imaginary. ”
Wen Mo's words made our hearts that we had just put down lifted, and Lantern Xiao said: "Boss, you have it for a while, and you don't have it for a while, anyway, you have said it, what do you mean?" ”
Wen Mo turned his gaze out the window, "What I care about is not this so-called snake, what I care about is the clues behind the legend." ”
I knew that Wen Mo must have thought of something, so he hurriedly asked, "Can you make it clearer." ”
Wen Mo looked at me and Lantern Xiao, "Do you remember that those petroglyphs you saw in the dark river channel of Qilian Mountain describe a migration process. ”
I think back to it, and the petroglyphs at that time did depict a grand migration. "You mean, the people on the petroglyphs migrated from here?"
Wen Mo shook his head, "I didn't mean that, the migration of ancient tribes generally only has two possibilities, one is natural disasters, and the other is war. And here," he said, pointing to the 100,000 mountains not far away, "and it's clear that neither of these things are likely here. ”
I nodded, "If that's the case, then the situation here should not be moving out, but moving in, and there will be things left by the ancient ancestors here back then." I think that's what my second uncle is here for! ”
"That's right!" Wenmo agreed.
Lantern Xiao listened to the side with a blank face, "Are you two when I don't exist, can you think about my feelings a little, my brain can't keep up with you, what were you two talking about just now?" What are you moving in and out, and you are doing this? ”
I smiled and said to Lantern Xiao: "The boss said that in ancient times, the general tribal migration was mostly because of disasters and wars, but this place has been remote since ancient times, and there is no war, although it is not a pleasant climate here, but the climate here is stable, so if there are ancient tribes who migrate to the depths of the 100,000 mountains, there is no need to make so much effort to go to Qilian Mountain, which is thousands of miles away." ”
Lantern Xiao nodded slightly, "But why does the legend left here echo Qilian Mountain?" ”
In this case, there is a more logical possibility, that is, there are indeed ancient ancestors who have entered the depths of the 100,000 mountains, and this group of people and the part of the people who moved to Qilian Mountain originally belonged to the same tribe, and for some reason, they were divided into two routes. Therefore, in the depths of this mountain, there must be things left by the ancient tribes back then, and these things must be inseparable from the ruins of Qilian Mountain. I think that's what my second uncle and they came here for. ”
Hearing me say this, Lantern Xiao nodded suddenly, "As soon as you say this, I will understand!" ”
Wen Mo continued: "Of course, at the moment, this is just our speculation, and everything will not be determined until we go inside." ”
Lantern Xiao and I nodded, and now it can only be done temporarily. The three of us were resting on the bed, and then Lantern Xiao reminded, "I said two, when we sleep, be vigilant." ”
Wenmo and I met, and I made an OK gesture to Lantern Festival.
In the mountains at this time, the wind gusts at night, the wind rustles the leaves, and from time to time there is a sound of birds and insects, which is really pleasant.
Coupled with the fact that I had drunk some wine just now, I soon felt a wave of fatigue. However, some of the things that happened during the day made me really feel that something was not right with Anado's father, and he couldn't sleep well because he had something in his heart. I woke up from sleep to bed, and I don't know how long it was.
Suddenly, I heard a very slight sound, disturbed by the snoring of the Lantern Festival, I couldn't judge it clearly, it seemed to be footsteps, and it seemed to be the sound of the wind outside.
But after a while, the voice became more and more distinct, and this time I could hear that it was someone knocking on our door.
I came to my senses and reached for the short knife I bought yesterday at the thrift market. But suddenly I found that the backpack was not next to me, and I secretly scolded myself for having no brains, and I had been thinking about being vigilant just now, but the only weapon was not by my side.
At this time, by the moonlight shining in through the window, I saw that the door of our room had been opened, and a figure crept in. My heart suddenly rose to my throat, and the call for Lantern Festival to sleep at this time was shocking, but what I was anxious about was that Wenmo didn't move, could it be that because he drank wine during the day, he also slept solidly? It's unlikely!
I slowly grabbed the clothes next to me with my hands, and I squinted at the figure that was getting closer and closer, calculating that as long as I reached the right distance, I would surprise him first, and then find a way to restrain him.
I saw the figure standing in the middle of the room and paused for a moment, as if to check the position of each of us, and then he turned around and went straight to Wenmo's bed.
watched him get closer and closer to Wen Mo, and slowly took out something he didn't know from his pocket, and then immediately reached out and grabbed Wen Mo's face.
At this time, I couldn't wait any longer, I suddenly exploded, grabbed my clothes and was about to throw them over, but at this time, Wenmo was faster than me. In the blink of an eye, he jumped up, and before I could even see clearly, the shadow was subdued.
The black shadow was pressed to the ground by Wenmo, I stepped forward to turn on the light, but I was surprised to find that the person who was pressed on the ground by Wenmo turned out to be Anado's father, "Uncle, why are you here?" ”
Although we were still skeptical about this, after all, he was Anado's father, and I motioned for Wenmo to let go, and then helped him up.
