Chapter 16: The Treasure Hunt
The cuckoo echoes, the ancient trees of the mountains and forests are towering and lush, and sometimes there are golden monkeys grabbing the rattans on the trees and swinging past, the peaks and peaks are stacked, the mountains are ethereal, and the sky is high and the clouds are light.
Between the mountains and mountains, a group of more than 50 advanced teams, all dressed in civilian clothes, most of the entourage carried shiny "Hanyang-made" on their shoulders, walking at the back of the team.
Among the marching procession were three simple bamboo bridges. The porters were all recruited temporarily, and these were all nomads. Usually, when looking for a portership job in Rongjiang County, you have to look at the faces of the local churches, and the hard-earned money of a day is also pumped by them for eight cents, but today I heard that Commander Liu was going to Sichun Peak to hunt, and the local porter ran away with oil on the soles of his feet.
The security regiment was deceived by the soldiers sent by him, and first stuffed each person with a silver dollar, saying that he would give each person 10 yuan after arriving at the ground, and the porter was not to mention how happy he was, and thought: Well! This good luck came, and I thought that this trip was really cost-effective, and it would be 11 oceans when I came back, my God! It's really a rat pulling bellows---- heavy in the back. Therefore, everyone exerted the strength of every tendon in their body to the extreme, and the mountain roads and sheep intestines trails can still walk like flying, but those soldiers who usually only know how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble have gradually been cut off.
The first few empty-handed family members who opened the road with copper nails and cow belts around their waists, respectively inserted two German-made C96s, one or two oily faces with middle split heads, turned back and shouted impatiently to the team behind them: "Hey, hey! Keep up, keep up, don't blame me for not reminding you, I fell behind, the tiger in the mountains in autumn is worried about running out of dry food, if you want to live, hurry up, don't be alone! ”
On the bamboo bridge at the front, a reclining man is wearing an English-style dark green jungle outdoor overalls and yellow riding boots. This person has a face of Tian Zi, wears a pair of sunglasses, has a mustache, the housekeeper on the side keeps shaking his fan, and the bamboo sedan chair squeaks up and down rhythmically, he seems to be asleep, sometimes humming a little song and sometimes snoring like thunder.
On the other two sedan chairs, an old man and a young man were reclining respectively, and these two people were the river wind chief and the river water who were "invited into the mountain".
Qingfeng Dao Chang was holding his Han sword with a red silk handle in his arms, he knew that this trip to the mountains and forests would be dangerous and dangerous, as the bottom line of self-defense, then Liu Yishou still allowed the request.
Jiang Shui was not idle, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to be a master, on the sedan chair he gnawed on a lump of duck meat left last night, and when he was thirsty, he drank a sip of mountain spring water hanging in the bamboo tube under the sedan chair, his eyes were open and closed, and he didn't know that Jiang Shui had an amazing memory since he was a child. When he was five years old, the old singer of the Dong family in Longpo Village passed on the ancient songs of the people under the drum tower, and after one time, he knew it in his heart, and no one of his peers could match. On this journey, every mountain, every ridge, and every route was deeply imprinted in his mind.........
Suddenly, there was a loud cry in front of him, and several porters carrying a sedan chair threw Liu Yishou down and ran away alone.
At first glance, I saw a giant python poking out half of its body from the grass, and the sun shone on the scales and gave a bluish luster. Spit snake letters, and slide down a thick hemp tree.
The scales on his body rubbed against the hard bark of the tree, and the squeak was like a sharp knife perpendicular to a dehydrated rice stalk, making a numbing sound.
At this time, Liu Yishou's sunglasses had fallen to the ground, after all, he was born in the army, and he was still calm in response to the sudden emergency, staring, and scolding in his mouth: TMD doesn't look at who I am.
As soon as he twisted his body and got up from the bamboo sedan chair, he took out the Browning mobile phone on his waist with both hands like lightning, and pulled the trigger violently on the thick torso of the python's sea bowl, and a few pistol bullets hit the tough snake skin without pain or itching, but it angered the giant python, maybe it was to eat whoever it wanted in its acre and three points, just as Liu Yishou had never discussed whose life he wanted under his rule, and today it was considered that the two strong men met.
The thick snake tail was like an iron rod, sweeping down a large area of bushes around it, and violently entangled Liu Yishou, who was shooting with a gun. The general strange force entanglement made him suddenly feel that his ribs were about to burst, his chest was squeezed sharply, and his face changed drastically.
In desperation, he pressed the muzzle of his gun to the snake and drained the remaining three bullets.
Because it was a close shot, the three bullets shot through the scales and blood and water, the pain made it even more furious, Liu Yishou was entangled in it and rolled on the ground a few times, the snake's head suddenly straightened, the snake letter kept rubbing against his face, and the slippery feeling had already made Liu Yishou stunned.
At this moment, several of his henchmen had already come to their senses, but as long as the hand of the rat thrower was deviated so much, Liu Yishou would be beaten into a sieve. More than a dozen long and short spears pointed at the intertwined body of the human snake, this group of soldiers couldn't help for a while, they could only stare dryly, Liu Yishou's face turned purple at this time, and his mouth finally came out: "Dog.. Day.. Also also.. Don't come up.. Do it. ”
A cold light flashed, and half of the snake's body fell to the ground.
I saw Qingfeng Dao Chief, who was wearing a bloodstained Taoist robe, standing on the spot, shaking the sword in his right hand a few times, and all the blood stains on the sword were removed.
In the scene just now, Qingfeng and Jiang Shui, as spectators, were amused when they saw this lively scene, and they never wanted to step forward to make a move.
Jiang Shui saw Liu Yishou's embarrassed appearance, and he couldn't wait for him to be hanged by a python on the spot, how could he help, and now he himself is seriously injured, I don't care what he is doing with 3728.
Looking at Liu Yishou between life and death in the blink of an eye, Qingfeng Dao Chang thought that if he didn't make a move at this time, as long as he died, the other half of the treasure map would disappear from the world from now on; The second is that his subordinates can execute Jiang Shui and himself at will, his death is small, and the key is that the Red Army's urgent need for military salaries has failed, so the situation is forced to have the scene of holding a sword and cutting a snake just now.
Liu Yishou, who thought he was going to die, survived the death, and his regiment finally tore off the dead body of the python wrapped around him.
Liu Yishou sat on the ground panting heavily, waited for the shock to settle down, stepped forward and slapped a few henchmen who opened the way, and then angrily dragged out the porters who carried the sedan chair from the forest, pulled out the Mauser C96 from the waist of a group of Ding, pushed the safety into the automatic mode, and stretched out his hand to "dada......da" a long point shot
A shuttle full of 20 rounds of ammunition was shot out into the sky, and a flock of birds was immediately startled in the forest. He found that his wrist had been grabbed by the Breeze Tunnel Leader and raised above his head.
The four porters sat on the ground, their faces were as white as earth, one of them wet his pants on the spot, these four finally picked up a small life under the obstruction of the Qingfeng Dao Chief, but apparently Liu Yishou was still angry, he found a rattan and kept whipping the porter, these crying fathers called their mothers to keep rolling on the ground, and the Qingfeng Dao Chang on the side looked at him coldly.
Tired and threw the rattan on the ground, the group with a sharp chin handed him a towel to wipe his sweat, he walked in a few steps to the Qingfeng Daoist and arched his hand: "Thank you Brother Feng for breaking the siege, otherwise it would be really auspicious, this group of little cubs, TMD really doesn't have it, usually when it comes to drinking, one race over another, when it comes to the bones, there is only the ability to escape!" ”
Those subordinates who always liked to brag in front of people that they could kill seven and kill eight masters, but now they don't even dare to come out, and they bow their heads and let Liu Yishou reprimand them.
At this time, the housekeeper of Longpo Village next to him hurriedly came over, he wanted to find a step for Commander Liu, and said that the brothers have food, food, clothing and clothing, and if there is a difficulty, they must be the same and so on, telling everyone that this time Commander Liu took everyone into the mountain not to hunt, but.... He looked at Liu Yishou, and the two of them met each other's eyes.
So he boldly said, "Brothers, isn't it just to live a happy life!? Today, everyone goes into the mountains to hunt for treasure, and with money, in the future, we will follow Commander Liu and his old man before and after the saddle, and one day, if Commander Liu wins the world, everyone can be crowned with a wife. ”
"In the past, there was Han Gaozu Liu Bangmang, Dangshan to cut the snake, and now there is my Commander Liu, who has a strange python in his hand, and there will definitely be something about Longxing!"
This set of agitation really worked. This rabble was like a chicken's blood, including the porters, all of them were gearing up, eager to kick open the door of the treasure or open the door with sesame seeds and other civilized ways, and all the treasures in the cave came out like a mountain. Afterwards... It is to sell a piece of land in the east of the county, set up a mansion in the south, and look at a handsome girl, so it is too good to take a concubine..... It is estimated that the adrenal hormones are still soaring, and they have forgotten that these are all his Commander Liu's, and no one can touch them.
Only Jiang Shui and Qingfeng Dao watched this clumsy performance quietly.
At night, the group of people and horses who went into the mountain to explore the treasure camped on the top of an unknown mountain.
Because the jungle poisoning fog rises and dissipates due to the daytime sunshine, and the temperature difference between the vertical sea in the mountains at night causes the temperature to drop, it is not possible to stay overnight at the foot of the mountain for safety reasons.
On the top of the mountain, one is to have a good line of sight, to the surrounding cables, condescending, can deal with the surprise attacks of wild beasts and enemies; Second, the air circulation is good, preventing the inhalation of toxic gases produced by the rotting corpses of animals and plants that accumulate in the surrounding mountains and forests.
On the top of the mountain, a small cave with stone rock was found, and there was no other entrance except for the entrance of the cave, which was the place where the camp was placed.
Liu Yishou immediately ordered his subordinates to set up a circular defensive post at the entrance of the cave, and the 36 regiments were divided into 4 groups, with 9 people in each group worth 1 and a half hours of night guards.
The river and the breeze were placed in a small tent alone, covered with a layer of withered grass to make a simple couch, and two sentries with loaded guns stood outside, monitoring their every move at all times.
Jiang Shui has been logging with his father since he was a child, and often sleeps in the mountains at night, and has a strong ability to survive in the wild. He said to Qingfeng Dao Chief: "There are not only fierce beasts attacking people in the deep mountains and old forests, but other highly poisonous insects that have not been seen can also kill people in an instant, you can't sleep like this, in order to let your old man sleep peacefully tonight, you have to talk to Commander Liu, let his subordinates borrow a fire, saying that there is a custom in my family, saying that it is to stay in the deep mountains at night to pray for the safety of the mountain gods." ”
The effort was not great, and the Qingfeng Dao Commander came back and handed him a pack of foreign fire.
Jiang Shui chanted words in his mouth, knelt down on the ground with his hands folded for a while, and muttered a word in his mouth for a while, the old housekeeper couldn't see any way on the side, and Jiang Shui was just playing tricks on the side, he wanted to use the jungle killer - poisonous insects such as centipedes, scorpions, etc., to get rid of Liu Yishou without the consent of the Qingfeng Dao Chief.
I took a sip of water and sprayed it on the ground, and then found a few large piles of dry firewood to put on the side of the tent and build a fire.
Blazing fire illuminates the mountaintop.....
The eyes of the forest were glowing with hostile fluorescence, and from afar, they saw the dancing flames, restlessly back and forth, but they still did not dare to approach the dazzling light in the night sky, because once upon a time, after a lightning bolt in the sky, the forest home where its father's father lived became a red sea that engulfed all species, and the smell of burning animals was everywhere, and the animals that survived the catastrophe flowed with awe of this red beating ball of light for generations.
After the fire, on the ground that had just been burned by the fire, the river water placed some heat-resistant stones on the burned ground, stacked them about half a knee high, formed a stone platform, spread the dead grass on it, and then erected a tent, and sprinkled a thick layer of charcoal ashes around it.
He smiled mysteriously at the Breeze Chief.
"Senior, please lie down!"
The man lay down on top of him, and oh! This kid really has a hand, and there is a faint heat rising on his back, which makes his Taoist big and small Zhou Tiantian run more smoothly, and the fatigue of the day makes him fall asleep early.....
Jiang Shui lay beside Qingfeng Dao Chang, thought about the events of the past few days, and the changes made him overwhelmed, so that the girl who made his heart move meet, and the feeling of the edge of life and death was also experienced, what should I do tomorrow? He thought about it for a long time, but he still had no thoughts, and then he fell asleep again.
