Early the next morning, I saw the bald driver for the third time, and got into the seemingly ordinary jeep for the third time.
It was still a weird winding mountain road, and outside the car window was still a gray, lifeless and monotonous scene.
When the car body shook, we all woke up from our drowsy sleep. Our eyes outside the car window were filled with boundless green water, green mountains, and the fragrance of birds and flowers.
Yunnan, a beautiful and mysterious land, here we come!
Yunnan, referred to as Dian, is located in the southwest border of China. Since the Warring States Period, this has been the home of the Dian tribe. Yunnan means "south of colorful clouds". Another saying is that it is named after it is located "south of Yunling"
.
Looking at the beautiful scene outside the window and thinking of the upcoming unpredictable mission, my heart suddenly felt heavy. How will this mission begin and how will it end? The answer is unpredictable.
After we enjoyed countless beautiful scenery, the jeep drove into a small town. The car continued to move forward. What we saw was the urban area of Tengchong, just like any small town anywhere, ordinary and ordinary.
.
Streets, shops, cars, people, and a lot of motorcycles going back and forth. Many old houses passed by our car windows. Although the houses are dilapidated, they are indeed a true reflection of the 1920s and 1930s, and may have a longer history.
.
As we were watching, our car turned a corner and drove into an inconspicuous compound. There seemed to be a sign hanging on both sides of the gate. Due to the speed of the car, I didn't see what was written. But I saw it.
Two soldiers in green military uniforms stood guard on both sides of the courtyard in a military posture.
The car stopped under a very ordinary two-story building. Instructor Shui turned around and said, "Everyone gets off the car and is at the place. Instructor Mu and the others must be waiting for us."
Everyone filed out of the car. At this time, a burly man in military uniform was already waiting outside the car. When he saw us getting off the car, he quickly came up to us. He stretched out his hand to the instructor with a smile and said cheerfully: "
Welcome Colonel Shui and the outstanding national guards, welcome!"
Instructor Shui smiled faintly, shook his hand gently, and then asked, "Have the people above arrived?"
The soldier nodded and made an invitation gesture, indicating that everyone should go in before talking.
Everyone followed the burly soldier and walked into the small building. After entering a room with thick curtains on the windows, we all saw the long-lost instructor Mu.
He was still wearing a white robe covering his whole body, including his face. At this time, he was sitting quietly on a chair, looking coldly at us who came in from outside the house, and his whole body exuded a strange aura.
I couldn't help but shudder, and a previous doubt came back to me: Is Instructor Mu a human or...?
At this time, the burly soldier pointed to a row of chairs and invited us all to sit down.
At this time, I saw another person sitting on the left hand side of Instructor Mu. He was wearing a gray tunic suit and was very thin. He was sitting in the chair, like a child who was a little over ten years old.
inside the chair.
This man was very quiet and kept leaning on the back of the chair. In the dark room, he looked as weird as Instructor Mu. I subconsciously twitched my nose and felt some weird earthy smell.
At this time, Instructor Shui strode to a chair next to Instructor Mu and sat down. Instructor Mu looked at her coldly as she walked over without making a sound and without any movement in her body.
Everyone was silent for a while. The burly soldier seemed to feel that the atmosphere in the room was depressing and made him feel uneasy, so he coughed dryly and said, "Colonel Mu, I don't think I need to introduce him."
Then he pointed to the man to the left of the wooden instructor who was curled up in a large old-fashioned wooden chair and said: "This is Mr. Fei, who is known as the "Ghost Eye" in the archaeological community."
Instructor Shui said at this time: "Where is my uncle? Isn't she here yet?"
The soldier said with a smile on his face: "The halal master has arrived a long time ago, and he also brought an apprentice. He arrived last night and is resting in the arranged room. I told Instructor Shui that you have arrived, so go to her room to talk.
"
Instructor Shui stood up and said to the soldier: "Please arrange the accommodation for my soldiers. I will go to see my uncle. Which room is it?"
The soldier said: "Don't worry, the rooms are all ready. Go straight in when you go out. The third room on the left is where your uncle lives."
Instructor Shui nodded, turned around and said to us: "Comrades, I have something to discuss with my uncle. Let's go to the room with this soldier comrade to have a rest. We will set off after dinner in the evening. This town is not very big.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary commotion and speculation, we will set off at night."
After that, he walked out of the room.
At this time, Instructor Mu also stood up leisurely and passed by us like a gust of cold wind. Except for the door, I saw him glance at us as he passed by, and his eyes made me shiver involuntarily.
At this time, the soldier said to Mr. "Ghost Eye" Fei, who was curled up in the chair: "Mr. Fei, you also go to rest, and I will arrange the accommodation for the comrades."
"Ghost Eyes" Mr. Fei slowly slid down from his chair and walked out with a strange posture. Jiao Yiming and I looked at each other in shock.
This "Ghost Eye" Mr. Fei is very short, only about the height of a ten-year-old child, about 1.34 meters at most. His walking posture is very strange, like a duck swaying from side to side, but his speed is very fast.
When he walked past us, that strange earthy smell wafted into my nose again, and it felt weird.
The soldier looked at us, smiled and said, "Comrades, I will take you to rest." He made a gesture of invitation.
We all stood up and followed the soldier outside. When we came out of the room, we saw a corridor with an old-fashioned tube-shaped structure. There were many rooms on both sides, and each door was painted with green paint.
There are lights on the ceiling every few meters in the corridor. The bulbs must have very small wattage and the light is very dim.
Everyone followed the soldier to the end of the corridor. The man took out the key, opened the door to a room, and said to us: "Everyone, go in and take a rest."
We walked in and took a look. This room was probably originally a warehouse. It was very large, with seven or eight wooden beds lined up inside. The floor was very clean and must have been cleaned. The walls looked a little yellow, maybe they were old.
Everyone found a bed and sat down. The soldier smiled and said: "The conditions here are not very good. Comrades, please work hard. Fortunately, we are leaving in the evening. Let's take a rest here. I will arrange dinner.
.”
After saying that, he walked straight out and slowly closed the door for us.
The exhaustion from the journey made everyone fall on the bed in unison. At this time, Pang Xiaotai turned sideways and asked: "Brother Jiao, do you think we have to go down to some bird's cave this time?"
Jiao Yiming was silent for a while and said: "It should be."
Pang Xiaotai sighed and said to himself: "I don't know what weird events we will encounter this time..."
I tilted my head and looked at Jiao Yiming. He seemed to be resting with his eyes closed. I thought to myself: This mission is probably more weird and dangerous than the last trip to Xishan. Instructor Mu, including the so-called archaeological wizard,
"Ghost Eye" Mr. Fei and Instructor Shui's uncle showed that this mission was no small matter.
Just as I was thinking about it, the little clerk on the bed to my right suddenly asked me in a low voice: "Yunlong, do you think the apprentice brought by Instructor Shui's uncle is the Zhang Li you have been dreaming about?"
I turned my head and looked at the little clerk's evil eyes and smile, gave him an annoyed look, and cursed in a low voice: "Are you going to get a fucking rest? If you don't rest, don't disturb others."
After saying that, I turned over and stopped paying attention to the small document. Instead, I closed my eyes and forced myself not to think about anything else.
For a while, no one spoke anymore, and everyone began to close their eyes in silence.
Just when I felt like I was about to fall into deep sleep, I suddenly heard someone calling my name. I opened my eyes suddenly and saw that I was lying on a huge stone, surrounded by black.
The boundless water surface is topped by dark gray rocks.
I stood up in fear and found that I was alone, facing the endless space, and a misty voice came: Yunlong... where are you? Come and save me... Come and save me... Then
The voice seemed to be that of Zhang Li, and then it turned into that of a small clerk...and Pang Xiaotai...
I felt my heart suddenly start to tighten like a spasm, and I was sweating profusely. At this time, huge ripples suddenly appeared on the water surface...
A person suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the water and stood in front of me in an instant. He looked at me with evil eyes. Oh my God, it was a corpse wolf! It turned out to be a corpse wolf!
At this time, the corpse wolf raised the same cold light weapon in his hand and slashed at me. I suddenly felt that I couldn't move my body, including my limbs, and could only watch the cold light roaring towards me.
, I closed my eyes in despair...
Suddenly, I yelled, and this scene suddenly disappeared. I opened my eyes, and it turned out to be a dream. I took a deep breath and felt that my whole body was soaked.
At this time, a low voice really came from my ears: "Are you having a nightmare?" It was Jiao Yiming.
I looked back at him, and Jiao Yiming looked at me with bright eyes and whispered: "Mental stress is normal. You need to relax your body and mind."
I nodded gratefully and whispered to him: "I understand."
Jiao Yiming smiled and closed his eyes. I shook my head vigorously and looked at the dim light in the center of the room. I no longer felt sleepy.
