The twelfth chapter: Shu Mountain is precipitous and travels all night
That night, Peanut was staring at the mouse in the main room. Before going to bed, I took a secret look. His face was always smiling, which made the mouse squat in the corner of the wall and was uncomfortable. Finally, he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Peanut.
After watching it, I lay down on the bed, picked up my phone, turned down my voice, and listened to my father's recording again. If it weren't for Lao Tan being by my side, I would probably not be able to hold back my tears.
"Stop looking." I thought that after experiencing so many incredible things in these few hours, Lao Tan would be very tired, but he was just like me and it would be difficult for him to fall asleep. "Your father is still alive, and besides, you still have brothers, I."
I turned off my phone and smiled bitterly, "You should not interfere with this matter. After all, I went to the ancient tomb. If you were caught by the police, it would be bad."
"Tell me, let me be honest. I have never been so open-minded by such a big man. If you don't let me go with you to save your father, I will call the police directly."
After Old Tan said that, he raised his eyebrows at me, and I felt a little relieved of support from someone. I don’t know if my father has received any news about it, but no matter what the situation is, even if they watch my father die, they will never let me go to the ancient tomb. Once they analyze it, only if I rush there immediately can my father have hope of survival. The most important thing is that I can’t sit and wait for others to save him, even if I am the only one, I will go.
"Okay, then let's go back to the Tomb Raiders Brothers Company and rescue my father."
"This is a brother."
With anxiety, impulse, fear, curiosity, confusion, and all kinds of moods, we finally fell asleep, and this night ended my ordinary life. Since that night, secrets, conspiracies and doubts have occupied everything about me, and they have begun to torture me constantly like the curse of the devil.
The next day, I opened my eyes and looked at the time, and found that it was almost noon. I woke up Lao Tan and asked him to pack up quickly. When I walked out, I found that Peanut was holding our backpack in his hand and was already waiting at the door.
"You don't know my father's situation. I promised to leave as soon as dawn and you woke up first. Why didn't you call us earlier?" I took my backpack and had no good temper for peanuts.
The mouse at the bottom of the steps said, "We will definitely exhaust you this time. If you don't sleep well for a night, you will definitely not be able to hold on. Xiao Hua is for your own good."
"Oh, it's all 'Little Flower Master'. It seems that you had a good relationship last night." Old Tan looked at him humming.
In the current situation, Lao Tan and I must be standing together. Mouse has his own business, and we are a mutually utilizing relationship. We need him to lead the way, and probably he doesn't dare to go back alone. Although Peanut did something that was beneficial to us before, the person who appeared in my cellar was really suspicious. When I think of his skills, I unconsciously guarded against him in my heart.
But when I was on the way, I thought that in fact, we can lead the way now, all we can rely on peanuts. People like Mouse are too cunning, and it is easy to deal with Lao Tan and me. Now the only thing he is taboo is peanuts. It doesn’t matter if there is me and Lao Tan. The situation is actually very unfavorable to us, but it is precisely because the peanuts are biased towards us that he just made the same mistake. When I think about this, I think Peanut’s motivation for doing this is a bit suspicious. Is he really my father’s age-lost friend? But no one will put his friends in the coffin, and when I think about the soul-suppressing fetus on the pile of coffins, I think my father wants to lock him up. What’s going on?
Before I got on the bus, I couldn't stand it anymore. Well, I told myself not to guess, and just wait until my dad was rescued and asked him. When I was on the mountain, I had called the boatman yesterday. As soon as we walked to the river, we saw that his boat was already waiting.
"Yeah? Go up two and go down four?" The boatman felt a little dizzy.
I couldn't explain it, so I didn't answer. After the boat started, I suddenly noticed that the pit where we buried the baby girl's body was turned over yesterday.
"Is it because the wild dog was taken away?" I was thinking, and suddenly I saw a white figure standing in the bushes on the shore, and there seemed to be something in my arms. It seemed to be a woman with long hair, and the thing she was holding seemed to be a baby...
"Ah!" I screamed. If the peanut hadn't reacted quickly, I would have almost fallen from the side of the boat into the river.
"What's wrong?" several people asked me.
"There is a shore..." When I wanted to point it to a few people, there was nothing on the shore.
I had no choice but to suppress my fear alone. Peanut stared at my eyes, and then looked to the shore with a deep meaning.
This is the second consecutive day of long journey between Lao Tan and I. Fortunately, we were planning to go to the forest adventure before, and the bags were equipped with sufficient equipment, which saved a lot of time. I bought a lot of dry food on the way, and the three of us sorted out the equipment again, then divided it into three bags, and carried one peanut.
"It's really necessary to be so careful about a child and sue you for abuse of children." Seeing our obvious behavior of targeting the surname, Bayin Mouse immediately protested at us in the voice of his old lady.
We ignored him, just thinking about how to arrive at Gulin as soon as possible. In the evening, we arrived at the county town, bought some things, and found another wild one. Old Tanzania put a stack of money on it, and the driver happily took us on the way.
On the way, I asked the driver how long it would take to drive to Gulin. The driver said it would be slower at night, but at most it was four or five in the morning. I was anxious and wanted to arrive immediately, so I told him that as long as it could be faster than an hour or two, I would add another 500 yuan. After hearing this, the driver stepped on the brakes. We were wondering what he was going to do, but we saw him running into a small supermarket. When we came back, we were holding a dozen coffee and two packs of cigarettes. Then, the middle-aged driver took us to experience the extreme rush. All four of us were pale all the way, and we probably thought about how to save our lives after the crash later.
"This is not good to cut the road, we will be faster when we get on the highway." The driver excitedly played rock music.
"Ah,...it's still fast?" I suddenly regretted it a little.
"Absolutely, where is it? Don't worry, you gave the money, I will definitely get the time for you." I don't know if I drank too much coffee, and listened to music while storming. The driver shook his head all the way.
The mouse sitting in the front row cried and turned to us and said, "If it weren't for his black butt, I would have called the police."
As soon as the car entered Gulin County, I was still the driver and sent us back to Chengdu. This is Gulin's new county. It has a strong modern smell. Although it was already one o'clock in the morning, the streets were still brightly lit and people came and went. When we said goodbye to the driver, he wanted to leave the phone and said that he could still pick us up if necessary. As soon as he finished speaking, the four of us ran away at the same time.
After stopping, I asked the mouse which way to go.
The mouse was stunned, "What's the way?"
"Of course it's the way to that ancient tomb, don't pretend to be garlic for me."
The mouse frowned, "Why are you leaving now? Let's find a hotel to stay for a night. Can't we leave tomorrow morning?"
"No." Peanut took the words, "Young Master Yuan is right. Time is tight. If you want to inform your boss, you can lend you your phone for free after you arrive."
I immediately understood that mouse said he wanted to stay in a hotel, but he actually wanted to call someone. After being discovered by Peanut, mouse's expression became a little stiff. I thought these people were really calculating and thought I was wary enough. It seemed that compared with mouse and Peanut, Lao Tan and I were so young. But later I thought it was wrong. The boy had been holding my father's cell phone and came out of the ancient tomb for several days. If he wanted to report the message, he would have called.
The reason I think so was entirely because I didn’t know what kind of people the so-called tomb robbers were at that time, and I didn’t know what the orders of the bosses meant.
I didn't talk much, so after changing to a local taxi, the mouse told the driver to go to a place called Erlang Town. But after the car drove out of Gulin County, the mouse said to get off again. The place was in a mountain valley, which made the driver think we were robbers.
After getting off the car, the taxi left at a speed. When we took the flashlight, Lao Tan started to scold: "What the hell is this? There was no light in front of you, Lao Yuan, this is even more shady than your hometown."
"Nonsense, the ancient tomb is not in such a remote place. Is it still built under Mingzhu Square?" Mouse took advantage of the topic, "It's said that the day is coming, so I'll tell you that the road ahead is not easy to walk. Don't blame me if you fall into the ravine."
Old Tan kicked him, told him not to talk nonsense and quickly lead the way.
After getting off the road, there was no road ahead. It was pitch black all around, and all kinds of birds and beasts were moans and moans from wild animals came from the mountains on both sides. When the flashlight shone, there were overwhelming mosquitoes and moths in front of them, and there were gravel falling from the mountain. Soon I discovered that the mouse and peanuts left Lao Tan and me far behind. Both of them were walking and walking, and they seemed to have no effect on them. Peanuts didn't even need flashlights. They looked around while walking, and didn't know what he was looking at.
Because I was worried about my father's life and death, everything didn't matter as long as I could be fast, but this trip made Lao Tan suffer. Before going up the mountain, the kid fell more than a dozen times. Before, he had lost his temper and sat on the ground. But this time, even his legs and feet were scratched, he didn't say a word. I asked him if he wanted to rest, and he said not to waste time, men or something. While we were helping each other, I said in my heart, "Good brother, I, Yuan Jie, will never forget you this time in my life."
After walking for a long time, I couldn't help but shout in front: "Mouse, there are mountains here, which one is it?"
The two people in front turned back and the mouse signaled us to look up. The surroundings were very dark because of the mountains on both sides. The starry sky was bright on the summer night, so some outlines could be seen on the top of the mountain.
"Just this mountain to the south, do you see any name around it?" The mouse was shaking around with the flashlight.
I know nothing about the feng shui of mountains, so I couldn't help but look at the peanuts.
"This mountain is the highest and the largest." I thought this kid must have understood some of the Zhou Yi gossip, but after he said this, he said nothing.
The mouse suddenly pouted his lower lip with some pride, "There are thirteen mountains in a radius of hundreds of miles here, and there are twelve of them, of which twelve are arc-shaped, surrounding the mountain in the middle. If the mountain top is similar or lower than the other twelve, it is nothing special, but this mountain is obviously much higher than the surrounding ones, which is what Feng Shui says, "Sentient beings worship mother". The "life" here represents the twelve zodiac signs, which literally means that the twelve zodiac signs bow to their grandmother, and the 'mother' here is actually the Earth Mother, that is, Nuwa."
I saw that mouse was not like a person with profound knowledge, but he was very knowledgeable, which made me confused and Lao Tan and I.
Seeing that we were so sensible, the mouse took out the old lady's voice and said, "This place is a peerless cave, and it is not surprising that the tomb of the king of the Han Dynasty was on it."
Peanut was having a tight face there. At first I thought he wanted to be wc, but after hearing the mouse's last sentence, he burst into laughter.
