"Xue, I have a very bad feeling..." Guo Yi told him everything he found, "-I don't know how to explain all this. If they arranged this, the performance level
Enough to win an Oscar."
"What you are saying is that there is no point in taking our lives. If you just want to put on a show and make us believe it, the price will be too high."
It was raining heavily outside, and the two of them were silent, watching the water droplets flowing along the tarpaulin into the pile of rocks at their feet. They didn't know what to say, and a sense of abandonment gripped them, as if there was nothing between heaven and earth.
Only myself was left - too many unexplainable things happened in 24 hours.
"I'm not acting." Salina, who had been sleeping, said that she had woken up and sat up holding on to the stone.
"You're asleep now." Xue Ziliang immediately stood up and said, "Your internal organs seem to have been shocked. Please rest more."
"It doesn't matter..." Salina's Chinese was a little difficult to pronounce, but she was still fluent. "Guo, your suspicion is justified." She took a breath, "When you went to examine the body, were there any shorts?"
Guo Yi thought, I'm not a pervert. Why would I be stripping off the pants of a man's corpse in broad daylight?
"Guo, people in ancient times didn't wear shorts..." Salina seemed a little weak, "Especially the poor."
"Isn't this accurate?" Guo Yi had serious doubts. Looking back, he seemed to have not noticed that they had underwear when searching for things. As for whether they had shorts, he didn't know.
"Assuming they were dressed up by modern people, it's impossible for the planners to even think about the issue of shorts." She paused for a moment and said to Xue Ziliang: "When the rain stops, let's go back and take a look at the bodies."
"No," Xue Ziliang said, "If the enemy comes back and we don't have the strength to fight them again - I will go and carry a corpse back."
"I will go with you."
"No, you stay here, Salina has no ability to resist now." Xue Ziliang waved his hand, "I'll come as soon as I go." After that, he put on the raincloth and got out.
For a while, only Guo Yi and Selina were left in the grotto. It was the first time for Xiao Guo to be so close to the Ocean Horse. There was a strong smell of perfume mixed with the smell of blood, and some peculiar smell, a bit like the smell of wild beasts... mixed
The smell made him feel uncomfortable. To be fair, if you get closer, a white woman like Salina is not good-looking. Her skin is rough and a little bumpy, but she has a plump and bumpy figure, watery blue eyes, and dark black eyes.
The long eyelashes... still made him feel nervous. He wouldn't have dared to think about it in the original environment: as an ordinary, non-leading security officer, the sensitivity of his work prevented him from interacting with foreigners.
Many personal friends - unless it's a mission. The current environment of being surrounded by others has made his organizational discipline begin to falter... I really want to chat with Salina...
"Guo, can you get me a backpack to lean on?" Salina took the initiative, "I'm very tired."
"Oh," Xiao Guo was startled for a moment, "Okay." He dragged the backpack from the side and helped her lean against him. He took the opportunity to help her shoulders again - the shoulders were so round...
"Thank you," Salina closed her eyes, "Guo, you are a very reliable person..."
Guo Yi actually blushed. The word "reliable" is worth pondering now.
"If Ziliang hadn't saved me today, I would have been beaten to death." Guo Yi quickly displayed the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and acted modestly.
"If Pooh doesn't save you, we won't be able to escape." Pooh is Xue Ziliang's English name. Salina gasped again, "The current situation is not optimistic, not optimistic..."
While they were talking, Xue Ziliang came back with a body on his back and placed it on a stone. The rain had stopped, and Salina reluctantly came out holding the stick to check it out together.
This is the body of a young man who was shot to death. Seeing a man who was beaten to death in front of him makes Xiao Guo very uncomfortable. Death makes a person's face distorted, but he can still tell that his appearance is typical of the South.
Xue Ziliang, a Han Chinese, found a pack of latex gloves from his backpack and gave each of them a pair. Salina took out a dagger from her waist and used it as an anatomy tool.
The hands of the deceased were covered with calluses. The upper limbs were thick and the muscles were strong. He had obviously been engaged in hard work for a long time. He wore straw sandals on his feet. After taking them off, he found that there were thick calluses on the soles of his feet, which was caused by walking barefoot for a long time. There were many traces of parasite bites on his skin.
, was infected with scabies. Salina pried open the mouth of the corpse and let Xue Ziliang shine a flashlight on it. The teeth were white but severely worn, which was caused by long-term consumption of food adulterated with impurities.
After cutting open the clothes on his body, it turned out that there was no underwear. The texture of the clothes was a kind of coarse cotton cloth, which was very coarsely woven and dyed a blackish-green blue. Xue Ziliang twisted it for a while and said that it was probably dyed with a plant dye.
Yes, the dyeing is uneven and the color is severely faded. It cannot be produced in the factory in any case.
After the examination, Xue Ziliang went to throw the body into the river. Salina took off her gloves and her face became paler.
"I kind of believe what they said -" she said, "the deceased does not look like a person living in modern society in any way."
"Is it some kind of tribe in a primitive society?"
"To put it this way, in Asia, there are only a few primitive tribes in the mountains of Southeast Asia, but the location and racial characteristics are not consistent." Salina said, "These tribes can't weave, let alone dye. They can do this.
Two points, it means it is not a primitive tribe."
"Is it really 1628 now?"
After discussing it for a while, we still couldn't come to any conclusion. No one could believe that they had arrived in ancient China. The only way was to keep moving forward until we reached a place where there were people. Then the truth would naturally be revealed.
The fierce battle just now made them not very optimistic about the safety of the road ahead. Guo Yi's pistol was not found after he lost it, not to mention that he had no bullets when he found it. When the two ATFs entered the country, their weapons were temporarily detained by the customs. Now
There were no weapons except three military daggers. Fortunately, the opponent only had sticks in the attack just now. If there were iron guns or more swords, they would not be so cheap today.
Guo Yi sharpened all three sticks, lit a fire, and slowly dried and hardened the tips. This is from the "History of the Revolutionary Struggle in the Hubei, Henan, and Anhui Soviet Areas". It is said that in the manure vat
It will be better if you soak it for a few days.
Xue Ziliang took care of the patient Salina, and his walking slowed down a lot, which also gave Xiao Guo, who was in pain all over, the opportunity to breathe. The further forward, the louder the sound of the water, the terrain here became steeper, and the rocks became steeper.
Slopes were visible from time to time. The group of people walked and climbed, turned around, and found a large rocky beach in front of them. The river poured down from the nine-level rocks, making a thunderous roar. The riverbed was littered with rocks, scattered in the water.
There are four clusters of more than ten meters in diameter in the river, with cracked tops, shaped like petals, and pink, like lotuses spreading out on the water; one looks like an old man playing chess; some looks like a fisherman fishing, and some have stone nests washed away by the water.
The rocks kept rotating and colliding, making a clanging sound.
"The scenery is really nice..." The trio, who had experienced the life-and-death struggle just now, were in a much better mood. As they were walking, they suddenly found four people covered with luggage standing on the stone beach in front of them--
They are members of the Ming family.
While they were resting and delayed on the road, the family who had been lagging behind had already moved ahead. Seeing them approaching, both women showed alert and frightened expressions. Xiao Guo thought it was probably because they saw the bodies on the road.
.
The old man with the most bad temper didn't even look at them. He squatted alone under a big rock on the beach, holding his head in his hands. He seemed to be thinking hard.
Guo Yi looked over and saw that the stone was just engraved with three palm-sized characters "Bairentan". What's there to study?
Seeing that Xue Ziliang was about to get closer, the policeman took a step back and put on a guarded look. Xue Ziliang was confused.
The old lady took her daughter-in-law's hand, looked at the sharpened wooden sticks in their hands, and forced a smile:
"Nothing, nothing, just acquaintances..."
Xiao Guo hurried up and told the truth about what happened along the way. When he talked about being attacked by more than ten people, they clearly showed their disbelief. It wasn't until he took out his ID that they were dissuaded.
Due to his doubts, the pretty policeman named Mu Min checked his ID for a long time before returning it to him.
"Don't mind, there are too many fake IDs pretending to be police officers now." She sat down on the stone and pointed to the stone next to her. The husband who was standing aside in a daze quickly sat down.
Damn, you are so obedient. Before Xiao Guo could despise his husband, Mu Min started talking about some things within the system. They were both in the same system. Although the business departments were different, they could still chat.
Only then did I realize that this girl is very strong. She has been in the security department for 3 years, the criminal investigation department for 5 years, and the political department for 1 year. She is a capable and practical person. As they chatted, Guo Yi noticed that the alertness in the other party's eyes disappeared a lot.
, he suddenly realized: This girl is trying to find his "under the sea". Even if your ID can be 100% realistic, things in the system will never be clear if it is not in the system.
Awesome! Guo Yi couldn't help but feel ashamed secretly. How could the gap between people be so big all of a sudden?
Both parties had shown their trump cards, and their guard was much lower. Li Mei, the old lady, became more enthusiastic. Seeing that Salina was not in good health and had a slight fever, she found medicine from her luggage, as well as candied fruits and ham sausage biscuits.
A bunch of messy things were served to entertain them. The three agents had not eaten anything since they set off in the morning, and they exercised vigorously. Their stomachs were rumbled with hunger. Xue Ziliang whispered while swallowing the ham sausage.
Guo Yi told Guo Yi that the preservatives in this product must exceed the standard, and it is all oil and starch, which is extremely harmful to health...
"You are so picky! Don't eat if you're afraid of death." Guo Yi was extremely dissatisfied with this ABC, not because this bastard looked like the greatest in the country all day long, but because he was always rushing to help Salina.
This made Xiao Guo's mentality slightly unbalanced.
