Chapter 15: Loss of contact

At this time, the raft had been pushed to the shore by the current, Fu Ying took a breath and said, "It's late, the situation ahead is unknown, the terrain here is relatively gentle, let's camp here." ”

Yang Hao nodded and said, "Okay." ”

So they all moved to the shore and dragged the raft and their equipment aboard - all the equipment was in a backpack and tied to the raft with ropes, so that despite the bumps in the road, the equipment was not lost.

However, since the main equipment was left in the base camp on the cliff, the people had nothing else to set up camp except for the dry food they carried with them and the weapons that Fu Ying gave them, not only did they not have tents, sleeping bags, but even the small aluminum pot where they had cooked instant noodles last night.

Fu Ying looked at Yang Hao and said, "We can only eat cold food tonight, and I'm afraid we can only camp in the open air." ”

Yang Hao nodded and said, "No problem." At the same time, he looked at Heng Qi and the others, "What do you think?"

Heng Qi said: "I don't have a problem, I don't know how the two of them are?"

Xie Ke said: "I'm also very casual, as long as I have something to eat, as for sleeping, as long as there is a flat place, I can also pass." I'm afraid that Huang Ran ran away from this person, and he is used to enjoying it comfortably......"

Huang Ranran took Xie Ke's words and said: "Of course, life is in the world, eating and drinking! How can we be too wronged by ourselves? If we come to rob the tomb again, we will tie our heads to the belt of our trousers, and we may see Marx ...... at some point."

"Huang Paoran, first of all, I want to correct your statement, we are not here to rob the tomb, we are here to save people!" Heng Qi scolded solemnly.

Huang ran ran and said with a smile: "Of course, saving people is the main thing, robbing the tomb is secondary, if it's secondary, it's not okay, then after I save people, it's always okay to take some sheep by hand, right?"

"You're hopeless!" Heng Qi and Xie Ke shouted angrily.

Fu Ying smiled lightly and said, "Brothers, let's change the wet clothes on our bodies first, dry them over the fire, and as for other things, we'll talk about it later." ”

So they gathered wood by the bank of the stream and made a bonfire. Fu Ying carried a waterproof bag and lit a fire with the lighter in the waterproof bag. Then they sat by the campfire and roasted their clothes, while they ate dry food with water from the kettle.

The dry food is actually a compressed biscuit, although it is only a small piece, but it is enough to fill the belly, but the taste is unpleasant.

Yang Hao and the others were fine, but Huang Ran ran frowned. He only took a small bite and stopped eating. Heng Qi glanced at him and said: "Huang Runran, it doesn't matter if you don't eat, don't blame others if you don't have the strength to walk tomorrow!"

Huang ran shook his granite-like head and said, "This thing is too unpalatable, I'd better catch a fish and grill it." ”

Xie Ke said with a smile: "If you can catch a fish, the sun will definitely come out of the west tomorrow morning!"

Huang ran his pointed nose and shrugged up to the sky and said, "Don't look down on people, I'll go catch a fish for you now!" After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the stream.

Heng Qi hurriedly shouted: "Huang Ranran, don't forget that the hand that stretched out from the stream today is waiting for you!"

Huang Ranran was stunned when he heard Heng Qi's words, and his legs were like being filled with lead, and he couldn't move anymore.

Yang Hao took out the walkie-talkie and wanted to contact Shopee. But there was a sizzle of electrical interference on the intercom. Yang Hao hurriedly changed a few frequencies, but it had no effect. And half an hour ago, Yang Hao and Shopee talked once, and they were all very smooth. This shows that it is still within the distance of the call, and there is no strong magnetic field interference, so how can it not be contacted now?

Yang Hao was busy using his mobile phone to contact Shopee again, but there was only a female voice from a mobile company with no emotion in the mobile phone: "Hello, the phone you dialed has been turned off ......."

Yang Hao scratched his scalp and was about to continue dialing, but Fu Ying hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't dial, it's useless!"

Yang Hao nodded, and a trace of worry appeared between his eyebrows.

Heng Qi said strangely: "Shopee, they are really, it's only eight o'clock now, are they sleeping?

"Shopee, something might be wrong with them. Fu Ying said softly.

"What's wrong?" Heng Qi and Xie Ke were both taken aback.

Fu Ying's expression was a little cold: "There may be another inverted fighter coming in, Brother Shopee, they have already been coerced......"

"Wouldn't it? In this barren mountain and remote mountains, how can there be an inverted fighter who has found this place?" Heng Qi said, scratching his granite head.

Fu Ying said: "This is one thing I did wrong, I shouldn't have destroyed the jade corpse......"

Xie Ke was puzzled: "What does this have to do with destroying the jade corpse?"

"If they hadn't destroyed the corpses, they might have retreated, assuming they were just ordinary grave robbers. When they see the jade corpse, they will understand the stakes and stop. Because they are just asking for money, and they don't want to give their lives here! Now destroying the jade corpse is equivalent to opening the underworld path for them, and they can enter boldly with confidence. So I suspect that they have reached our camp on the cliff, and that Shopee and Big Farmer have been held hostage by them. Fu Ying said.

"If that's the case, isn't it dangerous for Shopee and the peasants?"

"Well, they'll definitely be wiped out!" Huang Ranran also picked up.

"It really shouldn't have been left there. Xie Ke also scratched his scalp and said.

"Kesi, what should we do now?" Heng Qi looked at Yang Hao and said.

Yang Hao thought for a while and said, "In this way, the three of you immediately follow the same path and return - don't go to the blood hole, just use the cable to climb the cliff and go up to rescue Shopee and the farmers." Miss Fu and I will move on!"

Heng Qi patted his head and hesitated: "Let's five of us still be together, don't scatter anymore......"

Xie Ke and Huang Ranran also nodded.

To tell them to go back the way they came now is undoubtedly a bit of a way to let the moths throw themselves into the fire.

Fu Ying said: "Now that it's dark, it's not realistic to ask the three of them to go back, I guess those people only want money, and they don't dare to harm Big Brother Shopee and Big Brother Farmer for the time being." Besides, they must have camped by now, and they have to find their way down the cliff, and they must be delayed for a night. Let's rest tonight and wait until tomorrow morning. ”

Heng Qi and Xie Ke nodded together and said, "Yes, yes, Miss Fu is right! Let's rest first, Shopee and the farmer should be fine for the time being." ”

"yes, those bastards shouldn't tear up the ticket until we are all caught!" Huang Ranran also shook his head.

Yang Hao thought about it and agreed with everyone's opinions. At the same time, an inexplicable sigh welled up in his heart: if he could still have the same skills as three years ago, he would have set out to save people immediately, and he would not bother to balance these people at all. I am now like a waste, and I have to do what I can no matter what. Otherwise, not only will you fail to save people, but you will also put your life into it.

In order to avoid revealing the target, the campfire has been doused with stream water. The dried clothes were also put away by everyone.

In view of the uncertainties in this valley, the people chose to camp on a camphor tree. The age of this camphor tree seems to be very large, not to mention thousands of years, but also five or six hundred years. The tree was more than 20 meters high, and there were six or seven people hugging around the tree. The branches of the tree are luxuriant, not only secretive, but also quite sturdy.

More than five meters above the ground from the trunk of the tree there is a hollow the size of a basin, which can accommodate two or three people. Heng Qi and Xie Ke stayed in the hollow of the tree, while the rest of the people continued to climb up. Originally, Huang Ran was going to stay in the hollow of the tree, but Heng Qi and Xie Ke were called out, on the grounds that he liked to fart stinks. The space in the tree hole is already small, and the air is not easy to obstruct, if he is asked to put a "rotten egg" again, then the people who stay in the tree hole will not suffocate it?

Huang ran ran and had to stay on a branch above the tree hole. The branch was as thick as the body of two or three people, and the angle was flat, and because of the perennial sun and rain, the bark and xylem had peeled off a large part, forming a recessed hole, like a small boat, just enough for a man to lie in. Huang ran and lay down in this place, and at the same time shouted at Heng Qi and Xie Ke in the tree cave: "You two guys stay in that snake cave, I am more leisurely than you in this!"

"Then you can be 'leisurely' on it, be careful that 'leisurely' doesn't become 'woohoo lament'!" Heng Qi and Xie Ke laughed.

Besides, Yang Hao stayed on a tree branch to the left of Huang Ranran, which was not particularly spacious, and it was also a little sloping. Yang Hao reluctantly lay down, and at the same time fixed his body with a rattan stick, so as not to turn over and fall under the tree in the middle of the night.

Fu Ying naturally stayed in the upper part of the tree, leaving Yang Hao, they were about three or four meters tall, and I didn't know if she was lying on it? But a person like her, who walks around in the wild all year round, can make herself more comfortable no matter where she is. At this moment, her body was completely covered by dense branches and leaves, and even a flashlight could not illuminate her position. Presumably she was asleep.

Yang Hao naturally couldn't sleep. He clutched the binoculars tightly in his arms, and listened to the movements around him at all times - he had to take care of the safety of the camp!

Besides, he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. Suddenly, he kicked Xie Ke, who was already snoring slightly, awake.

Xie Ke was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Did you smell anything?" Heng Qi didn't answer, but stretched out his nose and kept sniffing around, and at the same time asked Xie Ke rhetorically.

"I didn't smell anything. What do you smell?" Xie Ke said strangely.

"The smell of snakes. Heng Qi burst out a few cold words from between his teeth.
