Chapter 16: The village is ready to go

The next morning, a crisp and refreshing singing came from outside, pulling me out of the bed, out of the stilted building, and dragged to a hillside behind the village, last night's rain, has stopped, the bamboo forest full of slopes rises and falls with the wind, with bamboo leaves, grass fragrance of the moist air intoxicating. Here, a girl stands tall in the mist. is not an imaginary Yi girl, but Du Xin, who is dressed in fashionable outdoor clothes, and her beautiful singing voice comes out of her mouth:

"The passing years have blurred your figure,

But it clears your smile.

When I met in a dream, it was still the most familiar throbbing;

The people around you are not your face.

I saw you, I saw me, I saw the past;

I've lost you, I've lost me, I've lost the hug I've never had.

Facing each other again, their eyes are far behind each other;

Words are lonely, and I can only meditate on the past at that time;

Longing to see each other, most afraid of seeing each other, it's better not to see,

It's better that I don't understand me, I don't understand you, I don't understand just budding love.

That's the best, that's the most beautiful. ”

I don't know when, Cao Ye also walked up, stood beside me, looked at Du Xin intently, and didn't even take his eyes off when he handed me a cigarette.

I took the spot, and was still intoxicated by Du Xin's singing like a mountain warbler, and asked Cao Ye: "Do you know what song this is?" That's a good sound. ”

Cao Ye was stunned, as if he hadn't heard it, took a deep breath of smoke, and slowly exhaled it, before he said faintly: "I haven't heard it, the artistic conception is a little weaker." ”

"It's pretty straightforward, kind of like missing out on a loved one. Unexpectedly, Du Xin, who was young and beautiful, also had such emotional troubles. I followed Cao Ye's words downward, but as soon as I talked about my feelings, I thought of Yu Nuo again, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that everyone has something to ask for." ”

As I spoke, I looked at Cao Ye, and suddenly found that he didn't seem to be the same as yesterday, and after a closer look, I found that he didn't wear glasses, and his face was relatively cold. Cao Ye saw me staring at him with a puzzled face, so he quickly smiled, thinking that he realized something, and quickly explained that he was not short-sighted, and he usually occasionally brought a flat mirror, which was a decoration that looked more knowledgeable.

At this time, Du Xin saw us coming up, nodded to us and walked slowly towards us, there was still a trace of tiredness on his beautiful face, as if he hadn't slept too well last night.

When Cao Ye saw Du Xin coming towards us, he extinguished the cigarette he had just smoked twice, threw it on the ground and ran it over twice. It seemed that he also noticed Du Xin's exhaustion, his expression became very enthusiastic, and he asked with concern: "Didn't you rest well last night?" ”

"It's okay...... I guess it was raining too much yesterday. Du Xin straightened his hair with his hands, and stopped talking.

I remembered that when we got out of the car to check the second car yesterday, Du Xin seemed to be arguing with Ai Qingying about something, and my curiosity couldn't be suppressed for a while, so I cautiously asked Du Xin on the side: "Ai Qingying didn't play hooligan habits yesterday, right?" ”

When Cao Ye heard this, he was angry, and shouted loudly: "This unqualified ruffian, I'll settle accounts with him." "The momentum is going down.

Du Xin immediately called Cao Ye: "No? It's something else. ”

Cao Ye and I were at the same time, "Oh? After a sigh, they looked at Du Xin together, she was embarrassed by our staring, and said hesitantly: "I saw something yesterday, but it is likely to ...... I'm dazzled. ”

Our curiosity was hoisted high, but it was not good to force Du Xin to say anything, so we had to continue to stare at her. Eventually, she surrendered, exhaled, and said, "Yesterday, when I found the first car, I actually found a person staring at me on the cliff above the crashed car. ”

"People? Who? "Cao Ye and I were both quite surprised.

"Actually, it's a dark shadow, very much like a human being." Du Xin seemed to be very uneasy to hide this in his heart, and said it in one go: "When I turned around to call you, I felt that something was staring at me, so I looked back, and I saw a human-shaped black shadow on the cliff, as if lying on the mountain wall, was turning his head to look at me, I was startled, and quickly closed my eyes, and when I opened my eyes again, the black shadow was gone, and it was only a second or two." She explained for herself: "However, it is very likely that it is dazzling, although there is a moon, it is still quite dark." ”

"No wonder I saw you glancing up the cliff later, it turned out to be like this." I said.

"Hmm." Du Xin nodded, which was an acknowledgement.

"Then why didn't you tell everyone at the time, I'...... A few of us big men are still afraid of this. Cao Ye comforted.

"I'm afraid it's just my eyes, besides, Ke Wenfeng." Du Xin suddenly mentioned our team leader, and seemed to be thinking about how to phrase it: "Team leader Ke, you shouldn't like me to add oil and vinegar to make everyone uneasy." ”

"Indeed, although Team Leader Ke looks kind and pleasant, and often smiles, he is still quite stern, you see that he dealt with Ai Qingying twice, it was quite harsh, and it was not easy to approach." Cao Ye must be very popular with ladies in general, and he always takes care of each other's feelings when he speaks, and he is very caring.

"Then Ai Qingying quarreled with you because of this?" I remember that Du Xin shouted at that time - "I didn't see anything".

"Yes." Du Xin whispered: "He seems to have been paying attention to me, and if he found something, he asked vigorously." ”

"This guy is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and if he knows this, he will definitely be in a strange force again." Cao Ye continued to hold on to his heart.

At this moment, Ke Wenfeng's shout interrupted our discussion: "Come down to dinner, and then have a meeting." ”

The three of us looked at each other and asked each other for advice on whether or not to make this public. In the end, I suggested: "Either it's not spreading, Team Leader Ke has said that this matter has nothing to do with us, and the past will be over." ”

They nodded in agreement, and a little secret brought us closer at once.

The breakfast was very rich, a white-bearded Yi uncle not only prepared the traditional pimple soup, but also large pieces of lump meat, as well as unrecognizable mountain wild vegetables and bamboo shoots, we ate, Ke Wenfeng introduced us to the new team members.

The Yi uncle who prepared food for us, surnamed Acuo, was the one who found the debris of the ship in the mountains to collect medicine, and this time he personally led the way to the mountain, the old Acuo is a typical Yi mountain people, he is very enthusiastic, and keeps greeting us to eat, although his Chinese is a little stiff, and there are a lot of local dialect words, but we half-listened and half-guessed, and understood that he was afraid that it would not suit our appetite and snub us foreign guests, so he politely praised him that the food was delicious, and the old man grinned happily.

There are three other people, who are said to be from the Guizhou office of Lao Feng's flying company, and the leader is called Liang San, who is a strong and strong man, with a beard on his face, looking like Zhang Fei from a distance and Li Kui up close. They will follow us there, and their main job is to carry some of the necessary equipment and materials, which is regarded as a manpower baggage team, so that the so-called technical experts from several of our cities only need to carry some spare clothes, food, flashlights, ropes and other basic materials in a small mountaineering bag. Today together in bed, we also put on the old style to prepare for us professional outdoor clothes, and these clothing, shoes and hats, our own clothes are very unprofessional, almost the suburbs of the wilderness wear, now do not have to clean up by themselves, early in the morning someone pulp washed clean and hung on stilts outside the building.

When I saw that everyone was so busy and everyone even came with two trekking poles as standard, as if they wanted to go deep into the mountain, I was a little puzzled, so I asked Lao Acuo: "Uncle, how far is it from where we are going?" ”

Lao Atso hurriedly put down the bowl and hurriedly replied: "It's not far away, a few guys will arrive, it's a day to catch up with the beans, the guests can't get used to this mountain road, and the beans will roll down, and it won't take more than two days." ”

"Rolled over?" I was puzzled and looked at old Acuo.

"You mean to fall, right?" Cao Ye guessed that Old Atso nodded embarrassedly, and was very sorry that he couldn't make it clear.

"What?" Ai Qingying, who had been picking fat and thinning and pulling all kinds of vegetables on the side, was immediately unhappy again, and slapped her chopsticks on the low bamboo table: "What about teasing Lao Tzu?" Climb the mountain road for two days, and wrestle and play, so that Lao Tzu can run here and suffer. ”

"No one is forcing you to go." Ke Wenfeng couldn't smile at Ai Qingying, so he could only try to maintain a restrained tone, but he was still very cold: "You can stay here and sleep, or go home now, no one wants you to follow." ”

We were very happy when we heard it, this rich second-generation ruffian could quit automatically, and we saved him from worrying, but Ai Qingying jumped up: "Who said I won't go?" Lao Tzu has to supervise your work. After saying that, he walked out, and just arrived outside and shouted, "Have you eaten enough?" Hurry up and go. ”

The three men who were responsible for carrying things led by Liang San probably knew his identity, and they were his real leaders and owners, so when they heard him shouting, they immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, hurriedly carried their things, and went out with them. The rest of us were helpless, but as before, no one paid attention to him, and after eating slowly, he put on his hiking bag and walked out of the stilted building, at this time, the sky became gloomy again, and it seemed that heavy rain was coming.

Ai Qingying saw that only three people from his own company were following him, and the others didn't care about him, he was sitting on a tree stump sulking, beating a raised stone with a trekking pole, and when he saw us walking by, he didn't greet him, so he also waved his hand knowingly and led the three people to follow us forward.

Walking along the path of the stream to the back of the village, Lao Atso pointed to the tallest mountain in front of him, and said, "That's it, Black Cat Ridge." ”
