Chapter 23 The Pool(1/2)
I was stunned for a moment. I had hardly touched a woman since my wife left, and now I felt a little dizzy when I saw her.
That girl didn't shy away from seeing me staring at her like that, and she smiled and asked, "Does it look good?"
Only then did I realize what I was doing and hurriedly rushed in and yelled: "It looks so good that the boat is about to sink. What's so good about it? You can go seduce the Dragon King later."
I pulled the girl and ran out of the guest cabin. The young master could no longer hold on anymore. His own strength could not compete with the current of the Mengjiang River. The boat and the pole slid straight out of his hand.
When he saw us coming out, he yelled: "Can you fucking hurry up!"
I dragged the girl's little butt and lifted her onto the mast, and then climbed up myself. As soon as the young master turned the pole, he released the boat. The pole and our weight suddenly pressed on his hand and he immediately
The pole in his hand just slid down.
I saw that after climbing a few times, not only did I not go up, but I kept falling down and screamed in fright.
The young master was so anxious that he jumped back and pressed his whole body against the other end of the pole. His weight was heavier than the two of us, and he was able to stabilize himself immediately.
The two of us climbed up along the pole. We all lay down on the rocks and gasped for air. The girl was really scared for a while and said: "Amitabha!"
The boat carried the current for a while, and I slowly entered the water and quickly disappeared into the weak yellow water.
There is a protrusion of a rock on top, which may have been formed by weathering and falling into the Yellow River. The young master looked at his watch and refused to let us rest and said: "Let's go, we don't have time. It's getting dark. We have to go up the mountain before dark."
The remaining time tomorrow will have to be used to find a place."
I waved my hands and couldn't walk anymore.
The young master pulled me up and then went to pull the girl and said: "You two don't want to live, it doesn't matter, don't drag me down, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up."
I reluctantly picked up my backpack, then took the girl and the three of us and started walking towards the back of this protrusion. There was a row of very crude steps that almost looked like they were built manually, going up.
The side next to the Yellow River is very steep and there are basically no trees. There are only sporadic trees growing in the gaps in the mountains.
We climbed up along the cliff with hands and feet. After climbing less than ten or twenty meters, we turned hard along the mountain and saw the gap between the two cliffs. I don't know what era the road here was built.
It was the countless small streams on the mountain side of the moss that came over and splashed all our clothes wet.
When we reached the other end of the mountain, it was a mountainous area. It was still some distance away from the Peacock Mountain we wanted to go to, but it should also fall within the scope of the Peacock Mountain. We took out the map and found a place to observe.
The mountains and rivers here are indeed very beautiful. The mountains and water are green, and the green is very refreshing. This is also related to the humid climate here, and a large number of unknown plants grow very lushly.
We followed the route we took and based on the rudimentary lines on the map, we could barely tell that our location should be south of where we were going, but other than this, we couldn't think of any other information. Let alone passing through this
Map to find it.
The young master said: "I said the person who drew the map must be a 250-year-old. This map means there is no map. If you go into the mountains with this, you will definitely get lost."
I looked at the map and said, "No, we didn't find the right place. If we can find where we stood when we drew the map, it should be easy to understand."
Of course, it goes without saying that it is more difficult to find.
And even if we found it, we couldn't go straight because there was only one mountain road here and there was no way to go in other places. Then we simply stopped looking at the map, took out the compass and rushed into the virgin forest according to the general direction.
After a series of running around, our physical strength has reached the limit, so this kind of trek is already very reluctant for us. Even the girl who was full of energy just now started to pant non-stop. We all felt very uncomfortable.
When it got dark, the young man in the lead stopped and turned around to look at us. I realized that he had a nosebleed and I quickly stopped the bleeding. He said he couldn't do it anymore and he had reached the limit. If he went any further, he would die.
We found a place to stop and I used a saber to scrape off the moss on the rocks and then spread a tarp.
The young master kept saying no, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down. I saw that the temperature here was actually not low, but it was easy to get sick due to the water, so I picked up some dry firewood and lit it on the smokeless stove. I gave it to them.
To keep warm. The girl was also very tired. At first she said she would accompany me, but in the end she ate a few pieces of chocolate and fell asleep before swallowing them.
When I saw that both of them were asleep, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed. I calmed them down. My eyelids were trembling, so I had to light a cigarette and burn some water. I washed my feet that were full of blisters and then wiped my body all over.
.
I finished the cigarette very quickly. As soon as I touched my pocket, I knew it was bad. But as you know, once a person relaxes, he doesn't have any willpower to hold on. I said in my heart, "Oh no, no, no." I turned around and fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I had been sleeping. Suddenly, I felt my face was very cold. I rubbed it and wanted to continue sleeping, but after rubbing it, the feeling was still very strong.
I opened my eyes in a daze and found that it was completely dark. It was pitch black in front of me. The coldness on my face was because of the rain.
I looked at my watch and it was past seven o'clock, so I had slept all night. I originally said that we were going to go deep into the forest. It seems that those of us really can't bear the hardship. If we had been in the Red Army during the Long March, we might have been there by now.
Robbery of the second Liu Qu's tomb.
The young master and the others were still sleeping. I heard his snores and thought to myself that since he had slept for so long, I would let him sleep for a while. I turned on the flashlight and wanted to burn some food for them.
But when I saw it, I was dumbfounded. It turned out that only the young master and the girl were missing from the tarpaulin.
I stood up suddenly and ran around to look around, thinking that she might have gone to urinate when she got up in the morning. But after searching twice, there was no sign of anyone. I immediately started to panic.
I went back and slapped the young master. He even asked me angrily, "What are you doing? You really made out with a bitch and you beat me away."
I said: "Stop being so intimate. The girl is missing. Get up and look for her."
When the young master heard that he was busy, he looked around and saw that the girl was missing. He stood up, washed his face with the water on his side and said, "What's going on, aren't you watching?"
I said: "You accidentally fell asleep!"
The young master said: "How do you act as a sentry? You——"
I said: "Okay, okay, go find it quickly and let you beat it."
We looked around and found only one footprint, which was only halfway down the valley because it was gone due to the water flow in the valley.
We rushed down the valley and followed the search for a few hundred meters. Suddenly we saw this footprint again on the mud slope on one side. When we went up, we saw that it was still new. The young master picked up the crossbow and pulled it. I followed the footprints and chased him. He said as he ran:
"You see, it's strange that this girl walked over by herself."
I don't think it's possible that this girl is willful and timid. How could she walk into the jungle alone?
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the footprints might disappear at any time. We were so anxious that we walked faster and faster, chasing after each other for about twenty minutes without knowing where we were.
At this time, the footprints suddenly stopped. We looked up and saw a huge rock in front of us. I rushed over and looked around, and suddenly I saw the girl squatting in the grass and shaking.
I hurried up and she started crying when she saw me and threw herself into my arms. While comforting her, I put the tarp on her and asked, "Why did you come here?"
The girl just kept crying and shaking all over. The young master told me not to ask. I saw that we couldn’t go back even if we wanted to go back. The footprints when we came back were all gone. I’m afraid I would get lost in the jungle now. Fortunately, the young master is smarter and most of the necessary things.
Take everything with you.
I put up a very simple tent with tree branches and tarpaulin, then carried the girl in and gave her some white wine to let her not be afraid. At the same time, I warded off the cold and saw that her face turned rosy, so I asked her what happened.
The girl didn't know how to drink. She took a big gulp and choked. She wiped her tears and said, "Oh, it scared me to death. I thought I would never see you again."
I said, "Don't cry yet. Aren't we here? What happened last night?"
The girl said pitifully: "I'm embarrassed to say it. Can you tell it to just one person?"
I thought to myself, "Is there anything I can't say? Have you been raped by a savage?" I glanced at the young master, wiped his hands, and walked out depressedly.
I put my ear close to her and she put her lower mouth to my ear and talked about what happened yesterday in a hurry.
It turns out that she is the one who has been here these days. Last night she pretended to be asleep and when we fell asleep too, she ran to the woods on the side to change the thing.
After changing, she was ready to come back. If she came back to us, everything would be fine. But at that time, she suddenly heard some strange noises coming from the valley on one side.
We were sleeping on a high slope and there was a very small valley below. She carefully walked to a rock and leaned out. She saw that the valley below was completely dark, but she could clearly hear some strange sounds coming from below.
It was the sound of iron chains rubbing together, as if many people were walking with chains, but it was pitch dark below and she couldn't see who they were.
The girl is a very curious person. We are all behind the stone at this time. She is not afraid. She just feels something strange. This place must be in the mountains. Why is there such a sound? And listening to the movement below, there should be many people below.
What are these people doing here?
She picked up the flashlight and turned it on to take a photo at the bottom of the mountain, but because of the angle, she could not see anything. She could only feel a large number of raindrops falling from the sky and converging to form a small stream below. However, the sound below was definitely not the sound of a stream.
That sound was still coming, and she felt like someone was walking on a chain."
She couldn't hold back her curiosity. The rockery valley was not far from us, so she crept down and hid behind a rock to take a peek.
It was pitch dark below and she didn't dare to use a flashlight, but she could still see through the faint light a row of figures marching forward. These people all had shackles on their feet and walked limpingly.
.The metallic sound echoed in the valley, accompanied by the sound of neat footsteps.
As the girl watched, she didn't know why she suddenly had an urge to follow them, but soon she found that the urge had reached a point where she couldn't resist rationally.
She walked out and followed the team forward. As she walked, she found that the group of people actually walked into a big rock and passed through it. The girl suddenly became scared. She knew she had run into something, but at this time she
My legs no longer obey my command.
Just when she was about to walk into the stone, she suddenly heard someone calling her. She suddenly woke up and saw that it was already dark and there was nothing around but her. She was frightened and turned around suddenly.
I often have no sense of direction when I run on mountains and I can’t remember exactly how far I ran. Then I couldn’t run anymore so I hid in the grass and we found him later.
At this time, the young master came in and asked, "Are you done? What's going on?"
I didn’t know what to say: “I don’t know, it seems like there is something unclean in this valley.”
The young master asked strangely: "Is there anything you can't let me know about this?"
When I was about to speak, the girl twisted and said, "Don't say it!"
I quickly surrendered and then thought about it. It was unusual for something like this to happen here, and it was impossible for the girl to lie to others, so I said, "I think there may be something wrong with the valley below, why don't we go take a look."
The girl pulled me and shook her head and said, "Don't go, it's too scary."
I carried her on my back and said, "Don't be afraid. The young master and I are both tough-minded people. They are the kind of black and white people who have no right to collect us. Grandpa Yama will come to collect us in person. Don't worry. Let's go down to those bulls, ghosts and snake gods."
You have to give way."
As he spoke, he carried her down the steep slope of the bush into the valley.
