As we chatted, we found out that the family borrowed a boat to travel to Hainan. They suddenly encountered a storm and lost their way, and then they were caught on the boat. The old man Mingqiu had served in the Navy's South China Sea Fleet stationed in Hainan Island for many years, and after changing his career, he worked in the civil affairs department;
The old lady Li Mei has been a leader in a trading company for many years - no wonder she has a calm demeanor and speaks well; as for her son Minglang, who has always been silent, he is a civil servant in the production safety supervision department. The family is still confused about what happened to them.
"That committee member named Xiao keeps saying this is Lingao County in 1628. Isn't that nonsense? Our old man served in the navy in Hainan for 22 years and has been to Lingao countless times... I see him
He's a decent young man, and he doesn't look like a lunatic."
It turns out that we are just like them. Guo Yi thought that we were also in the dark. As we were talking, the old man who had been walking around on the river beach looking at the stone carvings in a daze suddenly came back. His face was extremely ugly and his eyes were dull.
Li Mei hurriedly helped him sit down. Looking at his appearance, he started to panic. When did this old man become so lost? Could it be that he was possessed by an evil spirit in the wilderness? Speaking of the corpses he encountered on the road just now, they were really weird.
.
After asking him how he was doing for a long time, Mr. Ming finally raised his head and said two words:
"It's over."
This moment has made the whole family very anxious. The old man is usually stubborn and never admits defeat. Why did he say such a thing all of a sudden?
"Dad, please don't scare us..." Minglang quickly supported his father.
"What's going on? You're so clueless that you're going to scare me to death?" Li Mei jumped up and down anxiously.
"This place is really Lingao!"
"What?!" The other four people sitting on the stone all screamed. The two ATF agents had no idea about Lingao and looked at them inexplicably.
"That's right," Mr. Ming pointed tremblingly at the stone with the three characters "Bairentan" engraved on it, "This is Bairentan, Lingao." As he said this, he took out a yellowed one from his arms.
A small photo album, open it and you will see all the old photos taken in the past.
"Look at this!" Everyone put their heads together. In the photo, the middle-aged Mingqiu is wearing the uniform of a naval officer, standing with his comrades next to an identical stone. The stone is also engraved with "Hundred Ren".
Three words "beach"!
"That's nothing," Minglang said hesitantly, "We just arrived at Bairen Beach."
"Look at the back!" The old man became anxious.
Everyone quickly looked again. There was a dam in the distance in the background of the photo. Looking up again, there was no such dam at all behind the identical Bairentan carved stones.
Now everyone felt chills running down their spines. Where is the dam? Mu Min said: "Now that small hydropower projects are being renovated, they may have been demolished..."
"No, it's impossible." The old man shook his head stubbornly, "The Bairentan Hydropower Station has always been the main power station in Lingao. How could it be demolished? My comrades in Lingao have never mentioned it."
"Maybe he forgot to say it."
"I have been to Bairentan a few years ago, and the environment around Bairentan is not like this! There should be a farm not far from here." The old man continued, "But the terrain is exactly the same as here! There are stones in the water and stone carvings.
..." The old man flipped through the photos, "When I was a soldier in Hainan, I came to Bairentan at least ten times, and I took pictures of the stone carvings and strange rocks..."
"Actually, I have been doubting it since I walked near the beach... The surrounding environment is so strange..." The old man's hands were shaking. "At that time, I felt that I had been to this place before, as if it was like a dream."
Guo Yi grabbed the photo album and hurried down to the beach to take a look. He compared the photos one by one, and the more he compared them, the more panicked he became. He knew why the old man was so lost. It was so weird. Unless there were exactly the same people in the world.
The terrain, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the current appearance. The stone carvings in those photos, regardless of the shape of the characters, the appearance of the stones, the position in the water, and no matter how they are compared, all show that this is the same place.
If there is any difference, it is that there are things here that are not in the photos: a few special large rocks in the river. There are also things that are in the photos but not here: the missing dam, and some stone carvings.
He looked carefully for a long time and discovered a terrible fact: all the stone carvings were from before the Qing Dynasty! And the stone carvings from the Ming Dynasty were the most clearly identifiable, with very little traces of weathering. There was a stone carving in Ming Dynasty's photo that said "Linjiang Tianlai"
", the font is large and you can clearly see the inscription on the stone: "Spring of the first year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty". Guo Yi found this stone, but there was not a word on it. He didn't give up and called over Xue Ziliang, who claimed to be an expert in trace science.
, asking him to identify the stones that were supposed to have carvings on them to see if there were any traces of grinding. Xue Ziliang picked through the thick moss, examined them for a long time, and declared that these stones had never been engraved with words.
Guo Yi's expression when he came back made everyone even more panicked. Suddenly, the other three members of the Ming family went down to the river beach. The faces of the two ATFs who had been baffled all this time were hard to look at.
The current situation corresponds to the "dilemma". No one originally believed that this was ancient China, but the evidence is so strong that there is no reason to assume. Should we continue up the river, or return to the mouth of the river immediately? A group of people
No one has any confidence in my heart, and I feel empty.
Going forward, God knows what they will encounter. The first attack will be followed by the second. They don’t even know who the attacker is or why they are attacking. Several people discussed it and felt that since they have arrived at Bairentan, now
It's only 4-5 kilometers away from Lingao County, so it's better to try to have a look. Needless to say, it would be more reassuring for these injured people to stay in the People's Hospital. If there is no People's Hospital in Lingao, there really is only the county hospital.
We had no choice but to go back to the Yamen. At least it seemed that these crazy people had no intention of killing anyone. There seemed to be a red cross flag flying in the beach camp.
At that time, the troops were divided into two groups. Mr. Ming himself, Xiao Guo and Xue Ziliang went to Lingao for reconnaissance. The others stayed here temporarily. The terrain of Bairentan was complex and it was not difficult to hide. Xiao Guo objected that he was old and would not be able to travel long distances.
Mingqiu said that he was familiar with the terrain and could tell at a glance whether it was better than bumping into each other. Xue Ziliang was worried that the women left behind were too dangerous. Mingqiu said that it would not be a problem, and his son
Both the daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law are fighting men. Not to mention the daughter-in-law is a policeman. When the son was in middle school, he often used a knife to kill people. He has rich experience in street fighting - Xiao Guo is deeply suspicious of this.
The newly formed Lingao reconnaissance team left all their luggage behind, each carrying only wooden sticks, daggers and a small amount of food. Mingqiu told his wife: "If we don't come back in two hours, you should go back quickly." Here is a family.
The separation was a bit sad, and the old lady burst into tears. She told him to be careful not to be too aggressive, and asked two or two gentlemen to take more care of the old man. These words probably hurt the old man's self-esteem, and she actually snorted,
He raised his butt and left minding his own business.
Xiao Guo and Xue Ziliang hurriedly chased after him, and the three of them trudged all the way toward the county seat.
Their adventure journey went smoothly. Along the way, Mr. Ming recognized more familiar scenery. When the outline of Lingao County appeared in front of his eyes, Mingqiu was speechless for a long time after seeing the city wall that he had never seen in his memory.
.Seeing the camp being built outside the city gate and the ancient working people climbing up and down like ants, the three people's faces turned pale. Xue Ziliang sat down on the ground, holding his head in his hands, muttering in English.
What to say.
Such a terrifyingly small probability, no, it should be a completely possible thing, how could it fall on me! Why didn't I win a lottery worth 20 million! Xiao Guo was almost as good as a thousand arrows piercing the heart at this time.
After standing there for a long time, there is nothing to discuss now. Let’s go back to the blog. At least there are a group of modern people from the 21st century there, and more importantly, they are all Chinese. Xue Ziliang was deeply stimulated and muttered along the way.
He talks to himself in English and keeps talking.
At 13:20 p.m., the Bopu-Bailintan highway survey team reported over the radio that they saw many corpses floating down the upper reaches of the Wenlan River tidal flat. They should be local indigenous people.
At 14:36 in the afternoon, the reconnaissance team under Lingao City reported that someone led Xiaogu Township Yong into the city.
At 15:02 p.m., the Bopu-Bairentan Highway Survey Team reported that the two groups of people who set out in the morning came back in a state of panic and despair, shouting to see the leader.
"Le Yu, it seems your plan has come true." Xiao Zishan said to E Shui with half compliment and half worry.
"Lion poop is better than bear poop." Yu Yuanlan calmly said, "I guess I suffered a lot along the way."
"Commissioner Xiao, do you want to see them?" Li Yuanyuan asked
"No," Xiao Zishan said angrily, "Go and receive them and let them settle in first. By the way, notify Ran Yao and issue a temporary ID card to each of them."
"Temporary ID card?" Li Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment. She had been writing documents for the Executive Committee for almost a year and had never heard of such a thing.
"Yes, temporary. As Ran Yao knows, they are not officially a time traveler yet."
