Chapter 46 Mysterious Death
How could there be any lights in this mountainous area where there was no one at all? I thought maybe someone from Yamamotomu Company had arrived.
I quickly entered the tent to wake up Dunzi and the others, and prepared to put away the tent and other things. Before we could put away my things, a strong flashlight light shone on our faces, "It's Brother Zhao, why don't you say hello?"
Coming up the mountain."
I blocked the flashlight light shining on my face with my hand and looked at the person on the other side and said, "Is Mr. Yamamotoki's speed pretty good? You caught up so quickly."
Yamamotomu smiled slyly at the man and said, "Would you like to make a fortune together? It's not good for brothers to do this."
My mind was spinning, there were six people in front of me, and there were only four of us, and there was one girl. I was definitely no match for them, so it would be better to compromise with them first, and then think of a way to escape, so I faced
Yamamoto Mumuzuo said, "You were wrong in detaining our team members. You have no sincerity in cooperating."
Yamamoto Mu shook his hand and said, "No! No! No! Brothers, don't say that. Since we all have the same goal now, let's work together as a team. When we find something, can we split it 50-50?"
At this time, if I disagreed, there seemed to be no other way. I had no choice but to nod.
Yamamotomu called to the men and asked their team members to put up their tents on the spot and rest there tonight and get up and go on their way tomorrow morning.
A few of us were also busy setting up our tents. Yamamoto Muyuuo said that their people would do the night watch. In fact, I also understood his intention in doing so. I thought that there would be people keeping watch anyway, so we wouldn't have to suffer the consequences outside.
It was cold, so I simply got into the tent and fell asleep with my head covered.
In my sleep, I suddenly heard someone arguing about something outside the tent. When I climbed out of the tent, I saw that the night watchman was missing. Others were discussing how this person could disappear out of thin air.
Yamamoto Mukai saw this and hurriedly covered it up, "Hey! Nothing happened. The vigilantes were timid and didn't dare to follow us on this desperate trip, so they sneaked away."
Shang Yang was also awakened by the sounds outside, climbed out of the tent, and looked at me puzzled.
Strangely enough, except for the footprints around the tent when we came, there are no other distant footprints on the ground.
So there is only one possibility. The night watchman returned the same way we came, but I observed carefully and based on the direction of the footprints, there was no sign of returning.
Could it be that this night watchman disappeared out of thin air? The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong.
Yamamoto Mu arranged for two more people to stay in the south to watch the night, and then invited everyone to go back to the tent to rest. After Shang Yang and I returned to the tent, it was difficult to fall asleep.
Shang Yang asked in confusion, "Qiangzi, just now you brought back an innocent person who had been watching the night, what do you think?"
I scratched my head and said, "This is really weird. I don't think this person went back on his own. I carefully observed the footprints on the ground and there was no sign of going back at all. That person probably encountered some unknown danger."
Already?"
Shang Yang looked at me in horror and said, "Qiangzi, let me tell you something, don't be afraid."
I nodded in confusion and said, "Just tell me if you have anything to say. There's really nothing that can scare us."
Dunzi, who was sleeping next to him, turned over and continued to snore. It seemed that whatever happened outside had nothing to do with him.
After Shang Yang covered Dunzi with a blanket, he said mysteriously, "I have heard a saying that there is a "snow ghost" in Changbai Mountain. I heard that this mountain ghost is the son of the ice and snow demon. Every winter snow season, this snow ghost will
Coming out of the snow to harm mountain creatures, could it be that the night watchman was captured by the snow ghost?"
I said in disbelief, "Okay, here's the snow ghost! No matter how capable the snow ghost is, it can't just kill a living person out of thin air, right?"
Shang Yang didn't say anything when he heard what I said. He turned around and said, "I don't believe it either. These are just rumors in the countryside. How can there be so many gods and ghosts in the world?"
From time to time, the whispers of the two night watchmen outside came from outside the tent, and before I knew it, I fell asleep again. This person often said that if the chicken skin is cold and the urine is hot, one will fall asleep. The cold person in the tent will wake up with the urine and put on his clothes.
After putting on my coat, I went out to pee, but after I went out, I felt something was wrong. There was no one outside the tent, and the two originally arranged night watchmen didn't know where to go at this time, and I suddenly became irritable. Could it be like this again?
Did the night watchman disappear out of thin air like last time? Thinking about what Shang Yang had just told me about the snow ghost in the mountains, the more I thought about it, the more panicked I became. Could it be that there really is an unknown creature in this vast snowy mountain?
?
Recalling that Yamamoto Mu Xiangnan once said that several of their scientific expedition teams entered this snow-capped mountain and never returned, I thought about whether our team of nine people could find this thing buried in front of us.
What about the tombs in a snowy mountain?
I couldn't help shivering. It seemed like tonight was going to be another difficult night. I quickly picked up my pants and got into the tent. Shang Yang didn't seem to be sleeping soundly. When I got into the tent, Shang Yang looked at me in confusion and said, "His face is so ugly."
,What’s going on outside?”
I whispered, "The two people who were keeping watch seemed to have mysteriously disappeared again."
Shang Yang looked at me in horror and said, "Didn't you wake up Yamamoto Mumuao's people?"
I put my ring finger in front of my mouth and whispered, "Keep your voice down. Don't tell them yet. The ones who disappeared are all Japanese anyway, and it has nothing to do with us."
Shang Yang whispered knowingly, "You can't say that. We haven't figured out what's going on yet. Maybe we will be the ones to disappear next."
He looked at the watch on his wrist and it was already past four in the morning and said, "If you insist, it will be dawn next day. Let's stay awake at all times and let Dunzi have a good rest."
Shang Yang suddenly signaled me to stop talking and pointed outside.
I listened carefully, and it seemed like someone had gone out of the tent next door. Suddenly someone outside shouted, as if shouting something, "Everyone, get up, the person is gone again."
Suddenly there was a commotion in the tents next door. Dunzi, who was sleeping soundly, was also awakened by the commotion outside. Dunzi rubbed his eyes and said, "What's going on? Is it thundering or raining outside? What are you howling for? Go to sleep."
There is no peace."
Wang Kaitai opened our tent and stuck his little head in and asked curiously, "Brother Qiangzi! Why do they say people are missing outside? What's going on?"
I pulled Wang Kaitai into the tent and told her about the mysterious disappearance of these three people. Wang Kaitai blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "How could this big living person just disappear after saying he didn't see it? Did he fall into that place?"
Gone into a snow cave."
Dunzi said in a nonchalant way, "Let's give it a try. One less person is a good thing for us, but if we find the treasure, we'll have to share less."
Yamamoto Mumuao's voice came from outside the tent, "Brother Zhao! It's almost dawn, shouldn't we set off?"
Looking at the watch, it was already half past five, and it was time to set off. After tidying up, we ate some dry food, and then walked towards the mountain peak with large and small bags on our backs. The original team of ten people was now the only one left.
