Chapter 75: The God Tree of Qinling Mountains

The group of people stayed quiet for a while before they heard boss Wang say: "This matter is related to my ancestors. I don't hide from you. I am not a Han. My ancestor was a Manchu inlaid yellow flag. At that time, there was a special department in the Eight Banners Army. It ’s called Tietou Xiaoqiying Battalion. The number is only 3,000, but it ’s directly affiliated with the Military Department. Do you know what this unit does? ”

Uncle Tai laughed: "I heard it a little bit. I don't know what this iron-headed xiaoqi camp is doing, but it was finally shaved and included, and the red hair thief went away. I still listened to my uncle. Your ancestor was an iron-headed rider? "

Boss Wang also smiled and said: "You guessed it right. My ancestor was not only an iron-headed rider, but his official rank was not small. He was a commander-in-chief. Their responsibilities were very special. They were neither marching to fight nor building bridges. It is to help the emperors of all dynasties collect folk treasures, especially antiques. Every year, a certain number of treasures are turned over, but you think, there are fewer and fewer things that can be seen by the emperor in this world, this treasure It ’s harder to find every year, they ca n’t find it in the living, and finally they can only make up their minds on the dead. ”

The young voice cried out: "Oh, listen to you saying, is this iron-headed Xiaoqi doing the same as us, doing the upside down business?"

"Exactly, exactly, but although they are officials, they are different from the ancient gold school captains. The gold school captains fight is to fill up the military pay, so one fell clean and nothing is left, but this iron It ’s neither costly nor turbulent. It ’s not cost-effective to give all the babies in a bucket, so there are many combatives. They did n’t find it and touched it, and it was recorded. To rediscover these ancient tombs, the book that records the location of the ancient tomb is called "Hemuji". I have half a volume of this book, which is a family heirloom. The bucket we are about to pour is the most detailed one. "Boss Wang said triumphantly.""My ancestors also said that this fight is not a trivial matter. Don't touch it until you have to make a last resort. It's enough to see how good the baby is inside. This time I watched everyone's cooperation for so long before I came out."

Lao Ti and I heard this, booing.The old itch lowered his voice and asked me: "Do you-do you say this surnamed Wang is true-true? There can be so good-good things in the world?"

I shook my head and replied: "I can't tell you for sure, but you can't make a mistake if you say what he said so hard. It seems that this time there is a door, even if we pick up the rest of them, we can still be half full. "

The old itch suddenly became excited, "Then I--we really followed this time--followed. But--but this group of people is so spirited, this day we still--can follow, and again. -I'm afraid a few days later-I'm afraid I don't know where they were dumped. "

His words were very strong because of nervous stuttering, and there were a few words that made a special noise. As soon as I heard it badly, I quickly covered his mouth so that he would n’t be excited, and at the same time raised his ears to listen to the reaction over there, but It was too late, and there was a sudden silence over there, apparently I noticed something strange nearby.

My old itch and I held our breath and tried hard not to make a sound, and our heart beat like a drum, but they were definitely not sure that there were people nearby. For a while, both sides did not speak, and we stalemate for several minutes. Then, said softly: "Ermako (the young man), there seems to be some movement in the back, go and see what it is."

After listening to this sentence, I heard two clear pistols going to the church, and I was sweating all at once. It seemed to be a gangster. This time I was afraid to kill the old itch.A few times before I picked up my life under the dumplings, the main reason is that the dumplings were not thinking, and it was different if they changed people. If I run away now, I have 80% certainty that I can escape, but later tracking will be troublesome. If Not running now, I am really not sure I can hide under their eyes.

While hesitating, a loud noise suddenly came from a distance. I looked at the place where the sound was made. I saw a row of four or five flashlights approaching us. It was the patrol team.At this time, Uncle Tai whispered softly: "There are eagle claw grandsons, shouting." After that, several people hurriedly put out the fire, carrying their equipment and ran deep into the forest.

Old Itching was still scared to death, and now when he saw that the man ran away, he was anxious again and asked me, “How—how? Chase—chase not chase?”

I took a careful look at the probe and found that none of them had a flashlight. I saw that it was dark in the forest. I could no longer see the figure, and I scolded in my heart.The old itch is not reconciled, and I want to catch up by pulling me.I said: "No, you see this black light blindingly, we are such a tracking method, maybe we can follow them in front, we will rest first, and follow their footprints tomorrow, I believe they will not go too far, but Stop and rest. "

The old itch felt anxious in his heart and said, "This place-what more feet can there be on the ground-footprints? Now no-no chase, no-no drama."

I said, "No play, no play, no play is better than no life."

At this time, the mountain patrols were already very close to us. We will not go anymore. It is estimated that we will be caught. I let the chattering old itch shut up and dragged him in a hurry to the other direction. Drilled deep in the forest, hiding behind a bush, and waited for the mountain patrol to leave before he ran out.At this time, I was too sleepy, and I huddled together with Lao Ti and leaned against a tree for a night.

The next day, we woke up early in the morning, and the bird's excrement was so stinky that I wanted to vomit, and the old itch didn't care about it anymore. After a few catches, I clamored to find the group of people quickly It was really unbearable. He ran everywhere in the forest with bird's excrement and had to sacrifice half a pot of water to flush.

I followed the old itch and hurried back to where I was staying yesterday. I prayed for some clues on the ground, but after several circles, we could not find the remains of the campfire yesterday.Old itch has a lot of opinions on me, and has been nagging in my ear: "So say-say, let you follow-yesterday to keep up, you see-look, pour it now, cook-cooked duck- —Ducks are flying. "

I was furious, "His mother, where have so many opinions, you see here is a mountain road, where can they go. We have been going forward, I can't believe it."

We followed the mountain road quickly and chased for a whole morning. The stone steps were all over. Still no trace of them was found. Then we went on a trail that was stepped on by people. The deepest part of the forest.I looked a little bit horrified in my heart, which means that the road behind it will not even go to the mountain patrol team, it is really into the deep mountain old forest.

We took out a military dagger from our backpack and hung it around our waists. The two of them folded a big branch each. There are many beasts in the Qinling Mountains. If they are bigger, they will be tigers and bears. I was unlucky enough to run into one or two, and I and I ate enough for them to eat several times.

Old itch asked me if I could n’t find any plans for them today. I thought about it. According to the information I checked before, there are many temporary shacks built by medicinal people in this mountain with cooking utensils, firewood and dried meat. If we can find one, then we can take a good rest tonight and plan again.Although our location is far away from the tourist area, it is still a long distance away from the real Qinling Mountains. I believe there should be some villages in the front. It is possible to find them after those villages. An ancient tomb that has not been stolen.

I said my thoughts and the old tickle, his face was green, and asked me: "I still have to walk in-go? You-you see these four weeks even-there is no ghost, want- Either we first look around here, maybe, we ’re lucky, and we can really give it to us—we look for—to find a fight or two.

I laughed at him and said, "Where did that ambition go when you first came? You damn one is a paper talker. See if there is still a road under our feet. Where there is a road, it is not dangerous. Our destination , To go to a place where there is no way, understand? "

"Yes, you--you are experts, I--all listen to you, then let's go." The old itch was too lazy to talk to me, and he took the lead while walking on the roadside grass with the branches.Not far away, we saw a ruined temple. There were several middle-aged women in the front of the temple. I did n’t know what I was doing. I stepped forward and asked them very sincerely, saying: Sister, I ’m a tourist from a foreign country. I want to find out, how much way is there in the village ahead? ”Said a woman in a red coat:“ Are you talking about our village? What are you doing in the village? "

When I saw it, the women here were very vigilant, and said, "I came to find someone. I visited your village two years ago. At that time, an old man had hosted me. This time I came back to see him. But two The year hasn't come and the road will not go. "

The middle-aged woman glared at me and scolded: "Wow, just like your thief, who knows what you feel for? You are so common with people like you, those who don't fight are poachers , I want to lie to the old lady, you are not hot enough. "

I was dumbfounded by her, and I did n’t know how to talk back. The old itch pushed me aside, snapped a hundred pieces and handed it to the middle-aged woman, saying, "Which--what so much nonsense, take us In the past, this—this—a hundred dollars belonged to you. His mother, dare to dare—long-talking, I chopped you. ”

I thought that this middle-aged woman would take a step back, and took a step back, ready to go. Who knows that this middle-aged woman saw the money and immediately took it with a smile, and instantly became a amiable rural aunt, said: " Do n’t be angry, do n’t be angry, I ’m joking with you, you look north and follow this junction until you see a Sancha junction, take the one on the left, cross another stream, and you will arrive at the village.

The old itch grinned again and asked, "Just--had five people passed by just now? An old man adds several years--young!"

The middle-aged woman was alert and asked, "Aren't you public security? Yeah? What did those five people do?"

Old itch looked at me and winked at me, and I said in a pretentious manner: "Where do you see that we are public security?"

The middle-aged woman thought she was right, and suddenly got nervous, and quickly said: "Comrade Public Security, I can't guess this. You all came here in seven or eight people this month, and I live in my village. The five people who passed by did not seem to be a good thing. The old man was a familiar face. He spent four or five months in my village every year. I doubted them long ago. Why? Did they really commit a crime? "

As soon as I heard this, my heart suddenly settled down. These five people must have entered the village. They needed preparation before entering the mountain. They could not stay in the village without leaving. They said to the aunt Matter, do n’t tell anyone about this matter, do n’t you know? You will naturally know by then. ”

The middle-aged aunt said, "Is this a clue? Will I write a letter of praise to me?"

Lao Ti and I couldn't laugh or cry, Lao Ti pushed me away and said, "You-you can rest assured, wait for you to go back, one-be sure to remember your merits."

The middle-aged woman still wanted to be verbose. We ignored her and hurried northward.

Running to Sancha, I was about to go to the left lane. Old Itchy suddenly pulled me and said, "No-no, I should not go this way, I-we go to-middle. "

I wondered, "Why, didn't the mother-in-law just say go to the left?"

Old Itchy glanced at me and asked, "Do you-do you really don't know-know, or don't know, the lady-in-law has a problem."

I listened for a moment, and really did n’t see what was wrong with the mother-in-law, and quickly asked him what was going on. He pointed at me contemptuously and said, “Actually, you ca n’t blame it if you do n’t know—blame you, I—I I also listened to the bosses in the prison. There are mountain aunts in the mountainous area, so they stand at the intersection to help others. When they see oily water, they cheat. Look at the road on the left-there will be a village in the past , It has been leading to the mountain-the mountain has gone. Then-there must be fraud, there may be an ambush waiting for us to get in. "

I was half-trusted and doubtful. I thought that this is a tourist attraction, and there is such a thing before liberation. If they want to kill or rob, they have to walk in again.I talked about this worries and old itch, he immediately scolded: "You-you said that you ran across the rivers and lakes with your third uncle, this-I can't understand this reason, all tourists-all in Outside, it is not a good thing to be here. You see us, they are called black and black. "

When I heard it, it made sense, so I followed him toward the middle road.

We walked through the thorns until the evening, and I felt more and more wrong as I walked. The grass on the side of the road also grew too lush, unlike people who often step on it.I hurriedly grabbed the old itch and said anxiously: "Wait, this way is definitely wrong. If we go on, there will be no way. Let's go back as soon as the sky is not dark."

Old Itchy turned to look at me silently and said, "We'll go forward again, it's too late to go back now."

I saw that he had a different expression, and there was a strange feeling in his heart. When I looked back, I suddenly found that the road was drowning in the large grass and bushes, and I couldn't find any trace without looking down.If you do n’t go back now, when it ’s dark, you might get lost in this forest, but the old itch is right. Even if we go back now, we do n’t necessarily have enough time to go back to the three forks, to the village. Even more impossible, it seems that we have to spend the night here.

We walked back into the setting sun for about an hour. The sky was getting dark, and we suddenly found a wooden shack in front of medicinal people.Old itch pushed open the door and walked in, turned back and said to me: "Come and see, there is a stove, we can eat hot tonight."

I followed him in and found that it was a two-story shack connected by a ladder, above which was an attic with no furniture in it, but there were a few large wooden planks, and there was a pit in the center of the room with charcoal dust It is used to heat a fire.We put down our equipment, picked up some firewood outside, and quickly set fire to keep warm.Then take out the dry food from the bag and bake it directly.By the time we finished eating, it was already black outside and there was a cry of the beast all around. I don't know if it was a wolf or something.

Old Itchy lighted a cigarette and smiled bitterly towards the window, saying: "It seems that tonight, each of us can only sleep for half a night. Someone has to watch this fire to prevent it from extinguishing. "It's coming in.

I'm not sure, this day's road is exhausting, and I thought I might have to live like this for several weeks in the future. I couldn't help regretting that I promised him.He was verbose there for a long time and said how exciting he was when he came here three years ago. The more I listened, the more sleepy I said to him: "You sang like a mother opera for a long time, and I can't hear it anymore. I ’ll take a nap first, and you wake me up in the middle of the night to change shifts. ”As soon as he finished talking, he protested loudly, saying that I could n’t wake up when I fell asleep, but I was so confused that I did n’t know what he was talking about. I went to sleep.

This sleep is not very stable, the old itchy person is lazy, and it is likely that I ca n’t keep myself from falling asleep. When I tossed and turned in the middle of the night, I woke up and opened my eyes to see in the pit The fire was still burning, but the old itch was not in the house. I scolded in my heart and wanted to stand up and piss out urine. I just turned around and suddenly saw an eye in the crack of the attic floor on the second floor. Looked at me.
