Chapter 34: The Strange Smell of the Jungle
After a while, the rain began to slowly become lighter. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Meilang Dorjee retracted his gaze from afar, and at this time he was completely sleepy.
He walked a few steps around the room, and then called the new mine manager Cheng Fa: "Are you still resting?"
"No, Mr. Miro, I just got up. Cheng Fa yawned on the phone, "What are the instructions?"
"Let's go for a walk around the site. It was raining heavily just now, let's go check and check to see if there is any danger," Meilang Dorjee always felt an ominous premonition, "Call the safety director Hua Yansheng, and set off in ten minutes." ”
Then, Meilang Dorjee called the driver again and asked him to drive the car downstairs and go to the scene immediately.
The car slowly drove along the rugged yellow mud road of the mining area.
Usually when the weather is good, the road is quite smooth and easy to walk, but recently because of the needs of large-scale blasting construction, the gathering of load-loaded construction machinery and vehicles pulling earthwork, cement and sand and gravel has increased, and the road surface is badly damaged, and there are potholes everywhere.
After two hours of heavy rain, the road became muddy and slippery, and the car was on it, and it skidded several times.
The hook machines, forklifts, loaders and large loading vehicles of the engineering team are neatly and orderly arranged next to the construction site, as if they are tired from a long time of work, enjoying a rare rest. A large mining area is very quiet at this time.
Along the way, Meilang Duoji, Cheng Fa and Hua Yansheng were three people, each of whom said a yellow joke, and they were happy in their suffering, so as to be poor and happy, comfort themselves, and there were bursts of laughter from time to time.
Meilang Dorjee stopped at the edge of a large mine field that had just been blown up.
"You rest in the car, let's go inside," he said to the driver with a smile, "and you can go back to sleep." ”
The three of them got out of the car, separated and walked deeper into the mine, checking the safety of the side ditches, drains, hillsides and other places.
Meilang Dorjee walked towards a vertical steep slope on the edge of the mine in the distance. He was worried that the steep slope would collapse, and if the thousands of square meters of mud and rocks that had fallen down covered the drainage ditch, he would have to immediately dispatch construction machinery to dig it.
Meilang Dorjee's feet in the rain boots struggled to step in the ore pile, and he moved forward with difficulty step by step. Finally, he came to the bottom of the steep slope and looked up. At this time, a 20-meter-high steep slope was perpendicular to the edge of the mine, and because of the large blasting, it blew up more than half of the hill that was originally overgrown with various trees, and it became the current cliff-like steep slope standing vertically on the edge of the mine.
Fortunately, the mud and rocks on the steep slope are relatively strong, there are no big cracks, except for some small stones are falling, no other obvious cracks have been found, and there will be no danger of large-scale collapse today.
Meilang Dorjee breathed a sigh of relief. But at this time, he suddenly smelled a fishy smell. This fishy smell permeates the air, looming, intermittent and erratic.
What is this smell? Meilang Dorjee adjusted his breathing, let go of all distractions, took a few deep breaths, concentrated, and sucked in this strange fishy smell again, and then he felt that it was probably the smell of the decaying corpse of some kind of animal after death.
Could it be that someone was killed? Or was it suicide? When Meilang Dorjee thought about it, he was not only terrified. He then called the mine chief Cheng Fa and the safety director Hua Yansheng together.
"I smell a strange smell, do you smell it?" said to them, "This smell is wafting from the forest in front of us, let's go and see what is going on in the forest." ”
Cheng Fa and Hua Yansheng sniffed intently and nodded.
Cheng Fa said: "Strange, this smell is not like the smell of sulfur. ”
Hua Yansheng said: "Sour, stinky, fishy, a bit like the smell of a rotten corpse, but it doesn't seem to be all." ”
"Let's go and take a look, I'm worried about whether someone has been killed and abandoned in the wilderness," Meilang Dorjee felt his face itch uncomfortably, and scratched his unkempt beard with his hand, "If that's the case, the case happened in our mining area, it's not a good thing, and we're going to call the police." ”
"yes, let's figure it out. Although Cheng Fa was frightened, he still replied loudly, "I don't know who is so unfortunate, we have to avenge him." ”
Hua Yansheng smiled noncommittally and said, "It can't be so serious, right? It is estimated that the carcass of a wild boar, hahaha, don't think so terrifying." ”
They then walked more than five hundred meters to the left side of the steep slope, then climbed up the hill and walked deep into the forest where the smell wafted.
After walking for a kilometer or so, they found that under the feet covered with dead branches and leaves, there was a path paved with large and small pebbles, which were very smooth and purple because of their age and the trampling of the people. The path was surrounded by weeds that covered their heads, and they were so luxuriant and unusually tough that they walked in the middle, and they had to wave their hands and spread them apart before they could move forward step by step.
After passing through this overgrown path, the front gradually became more and more open.
At this point, the strange smell grew stronger.
Not far away, a clearing as flat as a park suddenly appeared, and under the big trees that could only be carried by four or five people, there were stone benches and stone tables.
Judging from these scenes, many years ago, it may have been a crowded place. Meilang Duoji They saw it and were secretly surprised in their hearts.
As the smell grew stronger, as if it was overhead, and as if it was not far away, they opened their eyes wide, looked up, and looked around, but found nothing.
In the empty forest, there were several screams of crows and other strange birds, and their cries echoed through the woods, giving the impression that the forest had suddenly become eerie.
Meilang Duoji and the others stopped, looked at each other, and did not dare to come out.
At this time, the face of the less timid Cheng Fa had begun to turn pale, his eyes widened, and he looked around, and a few small beads of sweat appeared on his head. He was really worried that a monster would suddenly jump out of the depths of this terrifying dense forest.
"It's strange, it seems to smell right here, but I haven't found anything related to it," Miro Dorjee muttered to himself, "Could it be that the air here is like this?"
Hua Yansheng continued: "Yes? Could it be that it came out of the ground?"
It was getting dark.
Meilang Dorjee looked up at the sky and found that the dark clouds were rolling, and there was rolling thunder in the distance. Then, a strong wind blew in the woods, and the sound of the wind was tight for a while, like a ghost crying wolf, which made people feel chills down their spines when they heard it.
"It looks like it's going to rain again. Meilang Dorjee said helplessly. He shook his head and complained: "This ghost weather, if you say it will change, it will change, and if you don't say it, it will change!"
"Let's go back, it's too far, if it's dark, we probably won't be able to find our way. Cheng Fa's heart became more and more nervous, and his feet trembled a little. "Nothing has been found, don't go any further. ”
While hesitating, suddenly, heavy rain poured down. Chen Fa panicked and hurriedly hid under a big tree.
"Come out, come out, come out quickly," Hua Yansheng shouted loudly, "Are you crazy? Don't be shocked by thunder." ”
Hearing Hua Yansheng's shout, Cheng Fa knew that he had done something stupid, and hurriedly ran out from under the tree and stood in the rain with the two of them.
"What should I do?" Cheng Fa cried and mourned, his eyes flashed with horror, "Let's go, ******don't care if anyone lives or dies, go back?"
Meilang Dorjee glanced at him, then turned his gaze to Hua Yansheng and asked for his opinion. Hua Yansheng wiped the rain off his face and slammed it to the ground.
"Why are you afraid of being like this, and you're still a mine manager!" Hua Yansheng walked up to Cheng Fa, grabbed his earlobe, and said nonchalantly. "Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts here. If there is a ghost, you hide first, and I will deal with it, hahaha. ”
When he said this, Cheng Fa was so frightened that his shoulders tightened.
His mouth trembled vigorously, and he said the words: "My Lord, Amitabha, Amitabha, Lord, bless us safe, bless us safe!"
