CHAPTER XVIII

After several days of arduous trekking, the four of them crossed mountains and mountains, flew over rivers, and finally entered the Golden Triangle.

There are still more than 100 kilometers from the border line to the old nest of Gaokan, but their pace has been significantly accelerated, because after crossing the border, they no longer have to worry about it, and there is already a free paradise without law under their feet.

On the afternoon of the second day after crossing the border, a group of four people gradually approached the Eagle's Beak Cliff, which was only more than 30 kilometers away from the Molong Cottage.

As the name suggests, the eagle's beak cliff is a place where the mountain is like an eagle's beak, here is a canyon, one side is a cliff, there is a huge rock like an eagle's beak protruding in the middle of the cliff, there is a path carved out from the cliff through the eagle's beak, and below the eagle's beak is an abyss. Walking on the path of the mountain cliff, people have a feeling of dizziness, people outside the mountain walk through here not only heartbeat, but also legs soft and trembling, the degree of danger can be imagined.

About to return to his nest, Gao Kan seemed very excited, and the fatigue of a few days disappeared, he said happily to An Ruizhi as he walked: "After the eagle's beak cliff in front of us, we will arrive home in another thirty kilometers, and I said unceremoniously that this is Lao Tzu's territory, and we can have a good meal tomorrow night, haha......"

An Ruizhi looked at the eagle's beak cliff not far away, attracted by the dangerous terrain there, the eagle's beak opened as if to swallow everything that passed from above, and he secretly marveled at the magic of nature. After entering the Golden Triangle, through dense forests, over mountain peaks, the dangerous geographical environment is rarely encountered in China.

As he walked, he observed the peaks in front of him through the gaps in the trees, and he developed a habit of observing the terrain of each place he visited, keeping an eye out for anything suspicious.

Suddenly, An Ruizhi noticed a strange phenomenon, several eagles hovering over the eagle's beak cliff, and from time to time they chirped, the sound was short and poignant, as if to warn, and the hissing sounded very clearly in the quiet valley.

An Ruizhi looked at the mountain peak on the left, the sun has not set, it looks like the situation will be dark in another hour, at this time the animals that are active during the day have begun to return to the nest one after another, why are those eagles always hovering in the air and refuse to fall? These are unusually alert birds of prey, indicating that their nests are threatened!

Suddenly, a thought flashed into An Ruizhi's brain, there was someone on the eagle's beak cliff! Because the only thing that can pose a threat to the vulture on the top of the cliff is people.

An Ruizhi stopped suddenly, and the three of them, Gao Kan and Wu Fenbin, all looked at him curiously, not knowing what was going on.

After crossing the border, Puheng and Wu Fenbin didn't need to be vigilant anymore, everyone marched together, and suddenly saw An Ruizhi stop, and looked at the front very vigilantly, the two of them knew that the captain must have found a suspicious situation, and then they both pulled out their pistols, instinctively hid to both sides, and searched towards the mountains and forests opposite.

Gao Kan looked at the three people in confusion, because he was about to reach his territory, so he didn't believe that anything would happen, Gao Kan asked An Ruizhi in surprise, "Is there something wrong Mr. An?" ”

"There's someone on the cliff ahead." An Ruizhi said in an affirmative tone.

Gokan glanced up at the eagle's beak cliff and said in a skeptical tone, "No, who would be up there?" ”

An Ruizhi stared at the eagle hovering in mid-air and pondered for a moment, he trusted his instincts, so he asked Gao Kan, "Commander Gao, is there any other way to your Molong Cottage besides the eagle's beak cliff in front?" ”

Gao Kan said with a sad face: "Yes, yes, it's too far, you need to go through the mountains in front, not to mention hundreds of kilometers, and we won't be able to get to the cottage in five days." Mr. An, are you too suspicious? ”

An Ruizhi firmly believed in his own judgment, and the attack on Pingshan Town made him not be extra careful, and he called a monkey.

Wu Fenbin came over in response, "What's the matter, big brother?" ”

"You climb to the top of the eagle's beak cliff from one side to reconnoitre, and you must hide yourself."

"Understood." Before the words fell, Wu Fenbin had already turned around and ran into the woods, and in the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared.

Wu Fenbin walked out of the woods and came to the bottom of the cliff three or four hundred meters away from the eagle's beak cliff, he looked up and looked up, it was very much like a cliff, all like a knife and axe, the cliff was at least more than 100 meters high, he had to climb it with his bare hands, and there was no protective equipment, the danger could be imagined. Wu Fenbin walked dozens of meters along the bottom of the cliff, he wanted to choose a suitable climbing route, and when he saw a place where several pine trees grew obliquely on the cliff wall, he decided to climb from here, because he could use the trees on the cliff for a short rest.

Wu Fenbin tightened the belt around his waist, spitted and spitted, spit on the palms of his two hands, and said to himself: "If I don't go up the cliff at this point, I can still call a monkey!" Leaning upward, he climbed a protruding rock with both hands, and jumped up with his toes against the stone wall.

I saw him clinging to the cliff like a gecko, nimbly racing the monkeys, without rest in between, and it only took more than ten minutes to climb to the top of the mountain. Wu Fenbin observed the topography of the mountaintop, it turned out that the other side of the mountain was a relatively flat slope, and there were many large trees, which made him more sure that the cliff on this side must be a cliff formed by an earthquake or crustal movement.

Wu Fenbin quietly walked forward for about two hundred meters, and suddenly heard a voice in front of him, he lay behind a stone and gently poked his head out to observe. I saw that more than 10 meters away, in a slightly flat place on the back side of the mountain beam, there were seven or eight people, lying or sitting and chatting, three or four of them were playing cards, probably gambling, and there were several Type 56 submachine guns next to them.

In addition, there was a guy lying on his stomach behind the rock above the eagle's beak cliff, looking at the path below the eagle's beak cliff with a telescope from time to time, and a sniper rifle with a scope was set up on the rock on one side of him, and a man was lying on his back next to the sniper rifle, with a round brimmed hat on his face, and seemed to be asleep.

Wu Fenbin could hear that their accents were similar to those of the border people in China, because they couldn't hear what they were saying from a distance of more than ten meters, he lay on his stomach for a while, and vaguely heard two guys scolding, as if he had waited for two days and still didn't see anyone.

Wu Fenbin guessed that these might be the four of them, and he quietly retreated, and then returned to An Ruizhi and their hidden woods from the same way. Wu Fenbin reported the situation found on the eagle's beak cliff to An Ruizhi.

The most surprising thing is Gao Kan, he never dreamed that someone would kill him at the door of his house, if he rushed over just now, he would definitely die, and he secretly said in his heart that he had escaped by luck.

An Ruizhi listened to Wu Fenbin's speech, then looked at Gao Kan and asked, "Commander Gao, do you think the people in ambush on the eagle's beak cliff are targeting you or are there other reasons?" ”

"These dogs must be here for Lao Tzu, if they are robbers, they will be ambushed in the mountains and forests, what can they do on the top of the cliff except for cold guns? In the entire Golden Triangle, only Lang San knows that Lao Tzu is back, who else can there be but this dog day? Gao Kan said angrily.

"The monkey heard them say that they had been waiting for two days, and judging from this point, the other party was also coming at us, and the reason why they chose this place was to worry about the three of us."

An Ruizhi said this, raised his finger and pointed to the sheep intestine path carved out of the cliff in front of him and continued, "If we go up, we will be completely exposed to the other party's line of sight, and the other party still has a good shooting angle, and we have no place to dodge, unless it is to jump off the cliff ......"

"The other party's choice of this ambush location must have been carefully considered, and they are very familiar with the geographical environment of the area. Big brother, if you don't see through us, we would really be in danger. Wu Fenbin said with some fear.

Fang Puheng asked curiously, "Big brother, how did you find out that there were people up there?" ”

"Have you noticed a few eagles hovering over the Eagle's Beak Cliff?"

"See, it's not strange, there are often eagles hovering over the mountains and forests." Fang Puheng said puzzled.

"It is true that the eagle is constantly circling while foraging, but it never chirps. But the eagles chirped from time to time, as if in warning. The eagle's nests are all on cliffs, indicating that their nests are threatened, so I guess there are people in ambush on them. ”

Gao Kan said with admiration and gratitude: "Mr. An is really a careful person, if you didn't find me in time, it would be over, and you killed me for the third time, I really don't know what to say......"

An Ruizhi waved his hand at Gao Kan, he didn't take Gao Kan's gratitude to heart, and then asked everyone, "The key question now is how to cross the eagle's beak cliff, what do you think?" ”

Fang Puheng hurriedly said: "It will be dark in a while, can't we use the night to touch it?" ”

An Ruizhi shook his head, "No, it's too dangerous to do this, in case the other party has an infrared telescope that can easily detect us, since they are waiting for us, we will definitely make careful preparations." ”

"Let's climb again, there are only nine enemies, I give them a surprise attack, and I am sure to destroy them." Wu Fenbin said resolutely.

Gao Kan didn't have any idea at this time, just looked at An Ruizhi and wanted to hear him say that he was now throwing himself to the ground for the five bodies that this young man admired.

"It's going to get dark soon, and it's very dangerous to climb a cliff like that, and it's hard to subdue so many people at the same time when you go up alone. Let's rest in the woods tonight and recharge our batteries, and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning. ”

After seven or eight days of long trekking and sleeping in the open, the four of them were indeed exhausted, and it was rare to have such a long rest, leaving one person on guard, and the others seizing the time to take turns sleeping.
