Chapter 18: The Sound of the Midnight Forest!
After three days, I finally came to the bottom of the Sichun Peak, and the mountain breeze swept through with the breath of camphor that refreshed people's hearts. The road is more difficult to walk, there were originally some sheep intestine trails that were within the reach of some people who went into the mountains to collect medicine, but now they have entered the inaccessible primeval forest, where the thorns are dense, and the sedan chair cannot move forward at all.
The porter who carries the sedan chair becomes the porter again. Liu Yishou, Qingfeng Dao Chang and Jiang Shui walked in the middle of the team, with the danger of the last time, everyone was extra vigilant, and the group members who explored the way filled the magazine of the barge gun with bullets and opened the nose widely, ready to respond to the sudden emergency.
A few long-handled machetes flew up and down, a passage continued to move forward, usually by Liu Yishou's prestige errand, today for the treasure hunt to open the way for the group Ding is self-exerted, a group of people are tired of slashing knives, another batch of follow-up, the replaced continue to continue to hold a gun guard.
The sun of August and September scorched the earth, and the cicadas in the woods made tired and drowsy cries, one after another, and everyone who walked through the forest had wide open sweat pores, sweat like rain, and their clothes were sticking to their skin as if they were soaked with water.
Liu Yi couldn't hold back his neck and drank the water in the British military kettle, the time was not big and the water ran out, and after walking more than a mile, he turned around with a wooden stick and scolded and shouted: "Little ones, which of you still has water in the kettle?" ”
After a while, someone replied: "It's too hot, everyone has drunk it all, Commander Liu!" ”
"TMD, you little cubs, you only know how to take care of yourself, oops, I'm dying of thirst!" He irritably fanned the paper and couldn't stop fanning it, "TMD! What kind of weather is this, it's about to heat people to death! Brother Feng, can you see this picture? ”
"I saw that batch of gold, silver and jewelry earlier than you think, according to the things on your skin, the direction should be correct, but the road is really difficult to walk, the ancestors of the two families put these wealth in the silver village, it will save a lot of trouble!"
"Lao Feng! You're not joking with me! If they did this back then, Liu Feng and his family would have waited for the Lafayette to be beheaded by a holy decree, and hundreds of heads would fall to the ground, and now there is still a share of the two of us talking here? ”
Jiang Shui has been silent in the team, these mountain roads are just the right time for him to move the muscles and bones injured by the previous torture, and the sweat makes him feel extremely comfortable.
I vaguely saw an octagonal pavilion on the mountain.
"Feng senior! There is a small pavilion in front. Said to the head of the Qingfeng Road
"The little ones work hard, and the front is here." Liu Yishou was overjoyed and shouted loudly.
The crowd cheered and climbed to a small flat ground on the mountainside. There is a small octagonal stone pavilion built on the side, there is no word and no painting on it, the whole is made of stone strips, the top of the treasure is covered with stone slabs, the spire does not know what to mix and what actually glues the small stones, I don't know how much wind it has experienced since it was built, but it is as stable as ever today.
The mountain wall opposite the pavilion was covered with dark green moss, and the slippery rocks oozed dripping water droplets from time to time, and in addition, there was no way to see the entrance to the cave, which made Liu Yishou and the others extremely disappointed.
Others paced back and forth in the open space, smoking Marlboro cigarettes one after another, and none of these people wanted to get out of this mold, so they all stayed away.
Qingfeng Dao Chang didn't bother to pay attention to his hands behind his back, remembering the pictures and texts on Liu Yishou's back, and muttered in his mouth: The sunrise has its left handle, and the sunrise has its right handle.......
"The ...... that appeared before it was in the shadows"
"Commander Liu, take a step to speak."
"Today we missed the hour, let the brothers rest first, if the sun rises tomorrow, we will be able to break through the wall." Qingfeng Dao said in a low voice.
"Hey! I'm scared to death brother, I'm muttering something alone, it turns out that you have already been fine. Liu Yishou's biscuit face is happy with shape and color.
Those group talents who have suffered from him on weekdays all understand that Liu Yishou is turning his face faster than turning a book.
"This will have to wait until tomorrow, what if there is no sun tomorrow? Brother Feng! ”
Qingfeng Dao Chang was already sitting cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes and recuperating, looking like he was out of the matter. Seeing how the wind path looked like, Liu Yishou thought to himself: If it weren't for the treasure in the cave, I would have asked you to cultivate your body with your underground wife, forget it! Who told me to ask for a short and flat cut!? Bear with it.
"Brothers, hurry up and set up camp and bury the pot to cook, oh! But don't forget, find a lot of dry firewood, burn it, sleep cleanly, everyone must have learned the poisonous insects last night. ”
The river lying on the grass also had to move his nest, he leaned on the stone pillar of the pavilion with his hands crossed on his chest, and watched the excitement with a dogtail grass in his mouth: I actually learned Lao Tzu's things, why couldn't this old thing bite you to death last night, it's really hateful.
In order to save his life, Tuan Ding naturally worked hard to dismantle most of the day according to Liu Yishou's instructions, and the sun was gradually setting in the west at this time.
In the evening, Liu Yishou is really exquisite, although the dinner party is not as good as the pomp in Guizhou in the county, only people who have only seen the world know what a gas lamp is, Jiang Shui saw that the two groups were giving a Yanmar lantern like a large size, and pinched a hand to pump back and forth. A match ignited a white reticulated round bubble, and when I got closer, I heard a swishing sound. A wooden frame was erected in the center of the camp to raise the gas lamp, and a dazzling light filled every corner of the camp, as if it were day.
A big guy next to him: "Wow! Hillbilly, haven't seen it, have you? ”
Jiang Shui glared at him fiercely, then turned around and walked away, only to hear the group behind him laughing.
At the dinner, Liu Yishou's subordinates and others sat in the place where the fire had burned, a few were cut down in the pine trees, and the flat side was a natural dining table, and Liu Yishou's dining table was set up in the octagonal pavilion, this table was an existing stone table, not enough to put four or five plates of wine and food, and there were four small stone benches on one side, which was the object that he bought here for the ancestors of the two Liu families, and he didn't think that sixty or seventy years later, his descendants would gather again this time, ready to enter the cave to take treasure. The meals were all canned food such as American beef, ham, and apples, and Jiang Shui had seen this thing there, and he ate it at sea, so that the gardeners on both sides looked at him with disdain: "This guy must have been reincarnated by a starving ghost." ”
"Get out of the way! Exercise! and rob me," a group of people was furious, and pointed his gun at the river that had been snatched from him.
Before the old man's hand opened the gun, he was grabbed by a greasy iron hand on his wrist, which made him groan, Mauser C96 fell to the ground, and the other members of the next table saw the situation, Hula all took out the guy and pointed to the river sitting on the ground, only to see him casually eating half of the pig's trotters he had snatched, as if these people around him were like air.
In fact, this gang just wanted to regain some face, but seeing that Jiang Shui didn't admit it, it was not easy to go down this step, so they forced the index finger that slowly pulled the trigger and began to exert force......
"Enough! Don't make trouble, all retreat, you don't have enough to eat, just ask the orderly soldiers for a little more, why bother to use knives and guns, isn't it a shame Liu Laosan! "Stand down!" Liu Yishou said loudly.
"The commander is this kid, and the first to grab things is to beat people first...."
"You guys who have no talent, do you dare to have a one-on-one fight with him? If you didn't have a gun in your hand, you wouldn't be a soldier at all! Usually, I only know how to slip and shoot horses, and I only grow fat when I eat every day, and I don't see other abilities. The soldiers I bring should be like him, telling you that in the future, only those who have the ability in the army will have a foothold."
Those regiments retreated to the side angrily, and Jiang Shui scolded secretly in his heart: Who wants to be your soldier, don't dream about it, old ghost Liu!
He picked up a small glass with a glass of French wine, and savored it with endless aftertaste. He said to the head of the Qingfeng Michi, who was eating together, "Oops! I found that I liked this stone river water more and more, if it weren't for the fact that my cousin died at his hands before, and exchanged ten 'Thomson' on the black market for his life for me, I would definitely not be ambiguous, it's a pity! But I have patience, these subordinates I am now only know how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble all day long, and there is a lack of wolf-like men like him in the army. ”
Without saying a word, Qingfeng Dao raised his glass to him, and then drank it in one gulp.
"Little guys, everyone is happy tonight, each table can have a small jar of local wine in Moutai Town, so that the brothers can deal with the cool air in the mountains at night, and at the same time be brave, but we can say ugly things ahead, if anyone wants to be greedy for a cup and miss the night, don't blame me for being polite! Did you hear it all? ”
"We all gave up our lives to go into the mountain with Commander Liu, although it is extremely difficult, you can rest assured that you will go to the stomach, seeing that this good day is just around the corner, we are also afraid of a mistake, this is all in good spirits tonight, brothers are not?"
"Yes! Rest assured, Commander! His men shouted in unison.
At this time, Adjutant Zhang, who was beside him, held a bowl of wine in both hands, stood up and said loudly: "Everyone! We are all counting on following Commander Liu in the future, and I hope that Second Brother Guan wishes Liu Dashuai success, come on! Everyone toasted him. ”
Liu Yishou heard this adjutant say the word "Liu Dashuai", not to mention the psychological use, he also knew that this was a loud sycophant, especially the "horse to success" that was more popular like a love to listen, who in charge of the official does not like to listen to compliments, but the smart man laughed at it, two hundred and five only took this as the truth, this Liu Yishou is the former, he is ruthless and can mix to this day is not an ordinary character, Guiyang's Wang Jialie for him, as long as Liu Yishou reaches out to him, this Guizhou national feudal official is to give money, If you want a gun to give a gun, it is the leader among the warlords of all walks of life in the province, and naturally when he talks in front of people, he is coaxed by cowhide.
After a long day's journey, everyone's appetite was greatly increased, and after a hearty drink, the wine jar naturally saw that the wine and food on the bottom table were swept away, and everyone went to bed in the tent.
That Liu Yishou was still apprehensive by the thrilling scene last night, adding double posts inside and outside the door, it was still the same old-fashioned, and he was all abrupt in the middle of the night: I don't ask who told you not to have long eyes, you deserve to die! This is the bandit logic that Liu Yishou believes in.
Qingfeng Dao Chang slept even more heavily tonight, and the sound of whirring was endless as soon as he touched the pillow.
On the second watch, Jiang Shui was woken up by a stomachache, grabbed a handful of dry and put grass in a place where no one was.
After this was done in a more urgent matter than the king of heaven, he was about to get up and leave, and in the dark, he faintly heard a rapid and regular voice: Di Di Da Da .... Da Da ... Tick tick
Jiang Shui knew that this was the Morse code for radio communication, he wanted to follow the sound to find out, walked a few steps forward, and after a while the sound disappeared, he only returned to the tent in a daze, and saw that under the illumination of the gas light, the patrol posts in groups of two walked around twice, which is also too TDM's safety, sleep! I can only see my sister Fangxin in my dream, even if the sky falls, I have to think about it, men also have to be a little more spring so that they will not get old! Hey.....
