I wanted to say something more, but Wen Qingshan took the walkie-talkie over again, put his index finger in front of his lips, and made a quiet gesture to me.
I had to suppress the anger in my heart for the time being.
Wen Qingshan took a deep breath and said to the other end of the intercom: "Since you want to trade people for pictures, tell me where we can trade!?"
"You just wait in Daga Doma Village. Someone will come to you to get the human skin map. When we get the map, we will naturally release it..." Before the other party finished speaking, Wen Qingshan interrupted him.
: "Stop playing this trick with me. If you want to get the map, you have to trade in person!"
The other party obviously didn't expect Wen Qingshan to be so tough. He was stunned for a while, and then shouted angrily: "Humph! Are you qualified to negotiate terms with me!? Do you believe it or not, I will chop off both of their hands and feet right now.
."
When I heard this, I immediately became anxious and rushed forward to grab the walkie-talkie from Wen Qingshan's hand, but Wen Qingshan pushed him away. He glared at me and said coldly to the other end of the walkie-talkie: "You
There's no need to threaten me, I'm not too scared! If they lose even one hair, I will destroy the human skin map immediately. No one can benefit from it! Don't talk nonsense, you have carefully considered where it is.
Make a deal and contact us again!”
After Wen Qingshan finished speaking, he turned off the intercom without waiting for the other party to respond.
I didn't expect Wen Qingshan to do this. In my opinion, he simply didn't take the life and death of Professor Dong and Dong Xiaodan seriously! He shouted at him: "Boss Wen, what are you doing! Xiaodan and
Professor Dong is in their hands, just in case..."
Before I could finish speaking, Wen Qingshan suddenly turned his head and looked at me, and said very seriously: "Do you know that what you just said to the cult members will only make Professor Dong and his daughter fall into trouble?"
A more dangerous situation!"
I was stunned for a moment: "You...what do you mean?"
Wen Qingshan calmed down a little and said: "I know you have feelings for Dong Xiaodan, but if you show this feeling in front of people in the cult, they will use it as a means of blackmail, and they may not even rule out hurting Dong first.
Professor, in order to make us confused. Therefore, we have to make them unable to figure out our thoughts and disrupt their plans first before we can possibly save them."
"Then what if they get angry and hurt Xiaodan and Professor Dong?" I asked.
Wen Qingshan said: "I have said before that people in cults are very purposeful in everything they do. Since the purpose of their operation is for the human skin map, then this human skin map is the most important one in our hands.
Zhang card, before Professor Dong and his daughter come back safely, they must not be handed over to people in the cult."
I agree with what Wen Qingshan said. I pondered for a while and then asked: "Then what should we do now?"
Wen Qingshan turned his head and looked around, then looked down at the walkie-talkie in his hand, frowning and said: "This is an ultra-long-distance walkie-talkie. The calling range can reach more than twenty kilometers. However, in plateau areas, the calling range is
The distance should be discounted, which means that the people in the cult did not go far, and they hid
We are within a radius of twenty kilometers. We can ask the villagers of Daga Doma Village for help and continue searching nearby to find their whereabouts. As for the few of us..." Wen Qingshan paused for a moment as he said this.
, then pointed his hand to a mountain peak not far away and said, "You can go and have a look at that mountain!"
Tashi Duoji turned his head and glanced at the mountain, and asked doubtfully: "Why do you want to go to that mountain?"
Wen Qingshan explained: "The people in the cult seem to know our every move, so we can't rule out that they are hiding in a mountain around here and staring at us with high-power telescopes. And that mountain is the closest, so I think it is also the closest."
It's possible."
Tashi Duoji shook his head: "This is unlikely. Although the mountain is not very high, it is actually very steep. It is not easy to climb up! They don't have to put in so much effort."
"Oh? Which mountain do you think they are most likely to be hiding on?" Wen Qingshan asked Tashi Duoji.
Tashi Duoji looked around and said: "The nearby mountains are not easy to climb, but the mountains in the distance are slightly easier to climb." Tashi Duoji said, pointing to the mountains in the distance.
Pointed.
Wen Qingshan looked at those mountains, frowned and said: "Those mountains are too far away. If you look from there to here, it will be difficult to see clearly even with a high-power telescope."
We were wondering where the people in the cult were most likely to be hiding, when Basang suddenly changed the subject and said, "I wonder if you have heard of the Eagle Spirit."
"Eagle Spirit?" Wen Qingshan was slightly startled: "I have never heard of this Wen, so I asked Brother Basang for advice."
Basang looked up at the soaring golden eagle in the sky and said: "I once heard an old man in our village say that some eagle keepers can make their souls attach themselves to the body of the condor, and then use the condor's power to
The body soars in the sky. Such people are called eagle spirits."
After listening to what Basang said, we all raised our heads in unison and looked at the golden eagle hovering above our heads.
Wen Qingshan frowned and said, "You mean, there is an eagle spirit attached to this golden eagle?"
"I think this is possible, because after thinking about it carefully, this golden eagle seems to have been following us in the past two days!"
After hearing what Basang said, I thought about it carefully. Not to mention, every time I looked up at the sky in the past two days, I always seemed to see an eagle soaring in the sky.
Wen Qingshan pondered for a while, frowned and said: "If what Brother Basang said is true, then most of the people in the cult are using eagle spirits to monitor us!"
When Jianjian heard this, he immediately shouted: "Then what are you waiting for! Why don't you hurry up and shoot this thing down!" Tashi Duoji and Basang both brought long-barreled shotguns, and their marksmanship was very accurate. They wanted to shoot it down.
A golden eagle hovering in the sky is not a difficult thing to do.
However, neither of them agreed to do this, because in the minds of Tibetans, the golden eagle is a sacred bird, and shooting the golden eagle is tantamount to blasphemy and an unforgivable sin. What's more, it is just a guess now, and it cannot be determined yet.
A golden eagle must be possessed by an eagle spirit.
We can neither shoot the golden eagle nor escape from it, which means that all our actions may be exposed to the eyes of those in the cult.
Wen Qingshan pondered for a moment, raised his head and said: "Since the people in the cult want to keep an eye on us, then let them keep an eye on us. We just remain unchanged in response to all changes. As long as the human skin map is still in our hands, we will forgive them."
There is nothing we can do.”
"Then what should we do now?" I asked.
Wen Qingshan said: "If I am not mistaken, people from the cult will contact us again soon and agree with us on the location of the transaction. We should go back to the village to make preparations first."
The group of people got on their horses and headed towards Daga Doma Village. Along the way, I paid special attention to the golden eagle in the sky and found that it had been following us. It seemed that it was most likely possessed by the eagle spirit.
The body has become a surveillance tool for people in the cult.
Back in the village, we told Uncle Qiangba about the situation and learned that Professor Dong and his daughter had been kidnapped. Uncle Qiangba was shocked and angry. Most of the villagers in this area believe in Buddhism or Bon religion, and the folk customs are
simple, tied
This kind of fight has not happened for decades. In Uncle Qiangba’s view, only extremely vicious bandits would do such a thing. He immediately patted his chest and said that he would definitely help us find the villains and rescue Professor Dong.
Father and daughter.
After thanking Uncle Qiangba, Wen Qingshan took out another camera and took several photos of the human skin map from multiple angles, in case the human skin map had to be handed over to the cult in exchange for Professor Dong and his daughter.
In the hands of the middleman.
After everything was prepared, Wen Qingshan turned on the walkie-talkie left by the cult member again and waited for the cult member to contact us. However, we waited for a long time and the cult member did not contact us. There were several times that I couldn’t wait to hear anything.
He picked up the walkie-talkie and took the initiative to call the other party, but was stopped by Wen Qingshan.
We waited until dark, just when I was already extremely anxious, someone from the cult finally contacted us again. Wen Qingshan immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie, but the other party only said two words: "Tomorrow at noon, Southwest
See you at the top of Zabul Peak, thirty miles away!"
Wen Qingshan was about to speak, but the other party had already cut off the signal.
Wen Qingshan immediately turned around and asked Tashi Duoji: "Brother Tashi Duoji, do you know about Zabul Peak?"
Upon hearing about Zabul Peak, Tashi Duoji's expression changed slightly. After being stunned for a moment, he nodded and said, "Zabul Peak is the highest mountain in this area, but..." He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't.
He wanted to speak but stopped.
Wen Qingshan hurriedly said: "Brother Tashi Duoji, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up."
Tashi Duoji looked at everyone and then said slowly: "It is said that there is a devil hiding on Zabul Peak!"
"Hide the devil!? How can I say this?"
Tashi Dorje did not answer immediately, but turned to Basang and asked: "Basang, you should have heard of the owl monster, right?"
"Of course I've heard of it! Why do you suddenly ask about this?" Basang asked.
Tashi Duoji lowered his voice and said: "It is said that there is an owl monster on Zabul Peak!"
"What!?" Basang had a shocked expression on his face, but he immediately shook his head and said: "This is impossible! The owl monster is a legendary monster, and no one has ever seen it, so I think it actually doesn't exist at all.
Owl monster!"
Tashi Duoji said: "That's not necessarily true. You haven't seen snow monsters and giant ground otters before, and you saw them yesterday too! Moreover, there is indeed a stone house built on Zabul Peak for catching owl monsters!
