This time, Andrew and I entered Shentang Bay together with four of his subordinates. It seemed that they did not know Chinese, because they only communicated with Andrew, and the whole process was in German.
Good guy, my feelings are trying to isolate me!
I cursed Andrew secretly.
Probably because he sensed that my expression was unhappy, after entering the forest area of Zhangjiajie and no tourists around, Andrew quietly walked in a row with me, and then said: "Zhou, these people were carefully selected by me."
Yes, they all retired from the special forces. Each of them has a special skill. The only shortcoming is that they cannot speak Chinese. But after weighing the pros and cons, I decided to choose them. There is no intention to embarrass you. Please
understand."
"I do find it a bit difficult to understand. You know that everything related to the astrolabe is full of dangers. It's better now. You have brought a few people who can't communicate with me normally to come and go into the mountains with us. If it's really
If we encounter danger and we can't even communicate, can we still help each other?" I said a little angrily.
"Zhou, don't be angry. This is because I didn't consider this well, but I promise you that if you encounter a dangerous situation, these people will ensure your safety in advance." Andrew said to me with a sincere face.
.
But this foreigner's various performances today have made me tell myself that I can't completely trust him. But now that I am alone in their team, I can't make too much trouble. This will not do me any good, so I have to
Said: "I hope you keep your word and we can work together in the future."
"Zhou, thank you for your understanding." When Andrew heard what I said, his bitter face instantly relaxed and he said with a playful smile.
The various scenes in front of me made me feel that it was right to bring out grandma's golden silkworm, because according to the current situation, it seems that only the golden silkworm is the only thing that can completely protect me.
We walked for a long time in the forest area of Zhangjiajie, and we felt as if we were getting deeper and deeper as we walked, as if we were already far away from the scenic spot.
At this time, I began to feel a little strange. Most people would easily get lost when walking in this forest area, which is close to the virgin forest, without a local who is familiar with the terrain as a guide. However, Andrew and his group walked very well.
It's orderly and feels very familiar to this area.
This sign can only prove one thing, that is, it is not the first time for Andrew and the four retired special forces soldiers who he said were carefully selected to come to this place, and they can walk so easily in the virgin forest without losing their way.
, they walked through this forest area at least twice.
Andrew, an old fox, when he was at Laoye Temple, he also said that he had just learned that Shentang Bay is very likely to have an astrolabe, but based on the information I have observed so far, he must have been to this place.
of.
Is it just as the temple blessing said, even if there is an astrolabe buried in this place, ordinary people cannot get it. Only special people like me can have access to it.
That's why Andrew approached me.
Suddenly, the strong men who had been walking in front stopped. I took a closer look and found that I was standing on a cliff. In front of me was Shentang Bay. The place we are standing now should be
The upper part of Shentang Bay is a relatively gentle area, while the other three sides are all cliffs. Looking down, the bay is bottomless. At this moment, thousands of rays of rays of light are reflected from inside, and gusts of dark wind carry a faint breeze.
The sound was coming from the bottom of the valley.
"We're here, Zhou, get ready to go down to the valley." Andrew patted me in a daze and said.
Andrew's pat on me made me jump. I don't know why, but the smoky Shentang Bay made me feel a little bit uneasy. Moreover, at this time, there was a gold bag in my trouser pocket.
Silkworm's small porcelain vase also suddenly moved.
I'm not sure if the golden silkworm inside suddenly moved. Anyway, I feel that the movement of the small porcelain bottle is not caused by external force, but by itself.
These little things are very spiritual, and their sudden restlessness made my already restless heart even more uneasy.
However, having already reached this point, and Andrew and his four men were also the first to go down, I had no other choice but to follow behind.
I don’t know if it was because I stayed up all night last night, or if there was something wrong with the air at the bottom of the valley as I went further down. Anyway, after walking about sixty or seventy meters down, I felt my chest was tight, as if it was always a little tight.
Looks like he's angry.
Andrew had been maintaining about the same speed as me, so he was the first to notice something was wrong with me.
"Zhou, you look very bad, are you feeling unwell?" Andrew said, and then he helped me sit down on a relatively flat ground nearby, leaning against a big tree.
Then, I heard him talking to a big man with yellow hair. Then the big man with yellow hair took out a small medicine bag from his backpack, took out a small bottle inside, unscrewed the cap, and
He poured out a small black pill and squatted down to feed me.
I turned my head, then looked at Andrew and asked, "What is this for me to eat?"
"Zhou, this is a special medicine prepared after a long period of research and using dozens of Chinese medicines before we came here, specifically to deal with the miasma here." Andrew said, wiping his yellow hair.
I took the pill from the man's hand and put it in my hand.
I glanced at Andrew, weighed it in my mind, and thought that he wouldn't want to do anything to me at this time. If anything happens to me, none of you would want to touch this astrolabe.
In addition, my chest was really tight at the moment, so I no longer hesitated, grabbed the pill, put it in my mouth, took a sip of water, and swallowed it.
"Zhou, we must rush to the small platform 150 meters away in the valley before dark. The place is spacious enough for us to spend the night there, and then wait until the next day before continuing to the next day.
Come on down." Andrew saw that I had taken the pill, so he simply sat down next to me and said to me.
After he finished speaking, he said a few words to the four tall and mighty foreigners who were still standing around us, probably to let them rest for a while.
I saw them taking out a few cans of something from their backpacks, handing one to Andrew and me each, and then sitting on the floor, each took a can, opened it, and ate it with relish.
"Zhou, this thing can quickly replenish physical energy. We call it nutrient solution. It is specially prepared for outdoor expedition personnel. Try it. I think it tastes pretty good." Andrew said, looking at the jar through the glass bottle.
, the yellowish liquid inside was a bit viscous and was handed to me.
I took it, opened it without hesitation, and took a sip. I felt that the taste was really good, so I started to devour it.
To be honest, I was extremely hungry right now. I drank a bowl of millet porridge and two meat buns in the morning. I fell asleep again on the plane without eating anything.
It was almost dusk now, so I suspected that the dizziness just now was due to low blood sugar, rather than the miasma emanating from the bottom.
After eating and drinking, we continued walking down.
I don’t know if it’s because there are towering trees all around, but it’s starting to darken rapidly. But you can tell from Andrew’s tone that there are still dozens of meters away from the small platform he just talked about, so
Everyone speeded up their pace unconsciously.
At this moment, a white thing flashed in front of my eyes. Suddenly, I seemed to see a white cat flying in the sky.
