Chapter 43: Dangerous Search
At dusk, Pan Qingchuan was painting the fence outside the homestay, and the porcelain white painted wooden fence set off the margarita flowers inside more delicately.
Pan Lu hurriedly ran over and said to Pan Qingchuan, Brother Chuanzi, the village chief asked you to go to the village committee quickly, it seems that something has happened.
On the way, Pan Lu said that the foreigners who came were missing.
The foreigners who came to live in Pan Lu's house, and before dawn today, they said that the mountains they climbed when they came yesterday were not challenging.
They are also all Chinese experts and speak Chinese well.
If you have to go to the mountains in the northeast, Pan Lu stopped them, because the mountains they came to are often walked, protective fences are set up in dangerous places, and there are direction signs, but after the mountains in the northeast direction go in, they are really the so-called deep mountains and old forests.
It is quite possible to go around for hours and still be in one place, going around.
Even if the villagers in this neighborhood grew up here, it is easy to go back and never return, because in the early years there were few outsiders who could come in here, and no tourists from outside came.
Pan Lu told them that it was dangerous and they couldn't go, and they didn't say anything more, Pan Lu thought they wouldn't go.
But now the village chief suddenly received a call from the town, saying that the consulate had sent a message for help, and after these foreigners sent a distress signal near Jinling, they had not heard from them again, and it had been five hours since then.
Pan Lu said a little anxiously, I should have been optimistic about them if I knew it.
When he arrived at the village committee, Uncle Minggen was anxious and paced back and forth with a cigarette.
He said eagerly: "How can this be good, there may be wolves and other ferocious animals in those mountains in the northeast, and the terrain over there in Jinling is dangerous, and you may not be able to come back if you go." ”
Pan Qingchuan asked Uncle Minggen, do you have a map?
The village chief shook his head: "What kind of map is this, there is lush vegetation, the road is uneven, I have only picked wild vegetables at the edge, and I have never entered it." The old people all said that there was no return to that place! ”
He suddenly thought of something: "By the way, your father went in when he was a child!" ”
Pan Qingchuan asked with some doubts: "My father?" ”
The village chief nodded: "When Pan Da Lazy was a child, he was greedy to play in the mountains, and his mother was anxious to kowtow to everyone to help find the big lazy, and then your father ventured to find the big lazy, and found the big lazy out for seven days and seven nights, like the last piece of potato cake, your father gave him to eat, so your father has a life-saving grace for him." ”
Pan Qingchuan suddenly understood why the lazy lazy who splashed hooligans everywhere would listen to Lao Pan's words and go to see the fruit forest, which turned out to be a life-saving grace for him.
But now that Lao Pan is in his fifties, and he is still sick, how can he go into the mountains to look for people for a few days and nights.
Uncle Minggen was very anxious: "Our village relies on this homestay, the economy is just a little better, if these foreigners come, they will disappear here, but how to explain, who dares to come!"
Pan Lu said: "I told them that they can't go there, and they will go back and never return, but they just won't listen!" ”
The village chief said: "I know you will definitely tell them, because the people in our village know from a young age that they will die if they go there, but people are lost when they go to our village, and besides, in this situation, these are a few lives!" ”
Pan Qingchuan said that human life is at stake, no matter where the person is, we must find a way to help.
The village chief smoked a cigarette and paced back and forth, grinding through the soles of his shoes.
Pan Qingchuan said, don't worry, since they have also sent a solution signal in Jinling, then they find that they can't get out, and they should stay not far from the signal.
I'll go back and ask my dad what to pay attention to, and if it doesn't work, I'll go in and find it.
Pan Lu said, Brother Chuanzi, people are walking at my house, I will go with you, you have done too much for everyone to make money, so you can't go by yourself for such dangerous things.
After all, this is a very dangerous thing, and Pan Qingchuan actually doesn't want others to take risks together.
Lin Lin didn't know when she hurriedly ran over: "I'll go with you!" ”
The village chief didn't want to tell Lin Lin, after all, she was a girl, so don't get involved in this kind of thing, and then there is any danger, a doctoral student came to our mountain village to help the poor, in case there is any danger, and the parents are also distressed.
However, the news that these foreigners went to Jinling and could not come back spread throughout the village through the mouths of several children.
Pan Qingchuan felt that it was too urgent, and he had to go back to his father first.
Lao Pan is roasting the fire in his own hall, he has pain in the liver area again today, and after taking medicine, he finally relieved a little, and he was expressionless and roasted on the fire.
Seeing Pan Qingchuan come back, he also looked anxious, "Dad, have you been to Jinling before?" ”
Hearing about Jinling, Lao Pan was stunned, this was how many years ago, there were lush trees, the terrain was steep, and few people who went in could come back, and he was lucky.
Lao Pan nodded: "What are you asking for?" ”
Pan Qingchuan said: "The foreigners who live in Pan Lu's house are lost, and the last distress signal is in Jinling!" ”
Lao Pan said, that's more than lucky!
He had experienced the steepness of it himself.
Pan Qingchuan said, then you hurry up and tell me, how can you come out after you go in, people can't be lost in our Huoyun Village!
Liu Yuzheng came in from outside, and when he heard that Pan Qingchuan was going to Jinling, he hurriedly stopped: "Chuanzi, you can't go!" This ancestor has said for generations that Jinling Jinling will not return nine times out of ten! This is not up to you! ”
Pan Lu said, then I'll go, people can't be lost in our family, Uncle Minggen is in a hurry, our village has just become famous, let's lose people! If human life is at stake, you can't help it!
Lao Pan sighed, I'm old now, my physical strength is not good, if you are young, I will take you there!
Lin Lin persuaded on the side: "Uncle Pan, you tell us the precautions, a few of our young people go together, there is a response, although the mobile phone is in there is no signal, but we can bring more signal flares, if we can't find them, we will do our best, we will mark all the way and come back!" ”
A voice came from the courtyard, if this takes you to Jinling, can you give 20,000 yuan!
Looking back, it was the lazy one who spoke!
Lao Pan broke him, you almost died in it back then, do you want 20,000 yuan to spend your life?
is lazy and scoundrel to others, but when he sees Lao Pan, he is still a patriotic brother.
He said confidently: "I wasn't young back then, but I was not convinced when you left the village, and I went in again." I also hit a hare to eat it! ”
He said with smugness.
Pan Qingchuan seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and said that he went to the back room, and when Xiao Duan took Qingchuan, he gave him cash, he took out two stacks, took them out and put them on the table in the hall.
Big lazy, the money is here, 20,000 yuan, you take us first, we went to Jinling to save people, you will take the money! Before we came back, my dad looked at it, my dad, you can trust it!
Da Lazy looked like he saw the money, and the two thieves stared at the two stacks of banknotes with shining eyes.
Of course I believe in Brother Aiguo!
Lao Pan asked Pan Qingchuan again.
"Are you really going?"
Pan Qingchuan nodded, I can't see death without help.
Lao Pan sighed, knowing that his stubborn temper was exactly the same as his own, just like when no one dared to go into the mountain to save the lazy, but he went.
So he told a few young people all the details he could remember.
After all, the lazy once came out of it, and there was no harm in taking him with him, although the mobile phone could not be used inside, but the compass, which was the necessary equipment for survival in the wild, they brought it very completely.
The sun is about to set, and the golden sunset envelops the entire mountain village, and the mountain roads at night are even more dangerous.
Each of them wore a hat lamp to illuminate the road in front of them, Lin Lin insisted on walking along, she said that she was a party member and had to endure hardships in the front.
Pan Lu and Meng Tingfu followed closely behind Pan Qingchuan, the golden sunset gradually faded, and the sky turned a magnificent deep purple.
The wind blew through the trees and made a sound similar to a roar, which made people's hearts tighten.
The lazy said with a big grin, don't be afraid, it's just the sound of the wind.
He looked like he had entered his back garden with his face full, as if he was going for a relaxing swim.
Lin Lin and Pan Qingchuan did not dare to slack off, every fifty meters they walked, they would tie red ribbons to the trees, and then use arrows to mark the direction they came.
The mountain road is very rugged, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and some roads can bury the calf with mud when stepping on it.
Some roads are very slippery, and if you step on them, you are in danger of falling into the abyss.
Lao Pan said, there is a section of the road is a sheep intestine trail, the left is the abyss, the stone wall on the right is very slippery, basically can not hold the hand, after this road to reach Jinling, but to this road before walking for a day.
Pan Qingchuan was wondering, is the location of the last signal accurate, if it takes a day, these foreigners are entering the mountain for the first time, can they arrive so accurately by mistake?
Before leaving, Lin Lin contacted the unit that sent out the request for help, and they said that they could only rely on signal tracking to barely trace that the signal was sent in the vicinity.
Pan Qingchuan said that sometimes we run under the highway bridge, but the radar will also measure the speed on the highway, so this data may not be accurate.
You can't go wrong in that direction.
Several people were very nervous to record the direction along the way, only the lazy person was holding a hiking stick and holding a straw in his mouth, as if he was traveling.
Gradually, Lin Lin found that they were walking the wrong way, because the place where they were tying the red ribbon just now appeared in front of them again.
And keep walking, two times in a row, that is, they are going in circles.
Pan Qingchuan asked Da Lazy, why did we turn back again?
The big lazy denies it, how can there be? Obviously, it keeps moving forward.
Lin Lin showed the mark he had just made on the tree to Da Lazy, and the arrow was really drawn twice, and a forest was marked behind.
