Chapter 46 second quarter

It has been 3 days since the search for the tunnel with the triangular point started.No caves were found anywhere. In the evening of the second day, Xianbo and Feng came to another triangle point.They picked up a lot of firewood and kept burning bonfires to drive away the bears.If you encounter a bear, everything is over, and you can't escape it if you want to. There are wind blown trees everywhere.After Xian Bo picked up some, he went to fetch water from the mountain stream. This is a primeval forest. Unlike the mountains in Honshu, this area is easy to walk, and there is almost nothing growing under the feet. If there are any, it is only mountain white bamboo, and it is not dense.

However, the two searched all over the area, but they didn't find any caves that accumulated heavy water from ancient times. Tomorrow I am going to search for the triangle point apex in the opposite direction.However, they couldn't be sure that heavy water was at the apex of the triangle.Will there be other situations? Ever since Akiko Tsuchida became Toyo's woman, that kind of thinking became stronger every day.Akiko Tsuchida was the one who deduced the distance between the triangular points in the map left by Kawai, which at first glance was only known to be oceans and islands.It is also Akiko Tsuchida who established 9 investigation sites nationwide based on the logarithm of the distance.

Akiko Tsuchida left with the enemy. Xianbo didn't feel cheated, but did Akiko Tsuchida discover something else?For example, the picture was not a triangle point, but something else, and she was aware of that. If it is what Xianbo imagined, then the heavy water will disappear in front of Xianbo and Feng. Once it is known that Akiko Tsuchida has followed Shi Cheng, the guys from the Japan Mineral Deposit Association will monitor Shi Cheng.And if Shi Cheng discovers heavy water, the two sides will definitely fight fiercely. Xianbo and Feng will be treated as outsiders.There are only two people, Xianbo and Feng, and the movements of any organization cannot be monitored.Not knowing that heavy water had been discovered, they decided to wander into the mountains.

Thinking of these, Xian Bo felt restless.Because there is no one here at all, it may be completely opposite to their assumptions.They don't know if it's over, or if they haven't searched yet.I just feel that there is no human breath in this place. Xianbo separates a dense clump of mountain white bamboo.There should be a cave nearby, but I can't reach it no matter what.Is it the wrong direction?Xianbo thought and stopped. I planned to reach the mountain stream in 10 minutes, but now I have already walked for more than 20 minutes.Xianbo looked around, and he fixed his eyes on one point.

In the distance, among the white bamboo bushes, there is something standing.The neck protrudes from the mountain white bamboo bushes. ——Bear!Xian Bo immediately thought of it. If it is really a bear, the only way is to climb to a nearby tree. However, I don't know if it was noticed, but the head disappeared all of a sudden.It wasn't a bear, Xianbo recognized that it was a man, a man with unkempt hair and dirt. Xianbo immediately walked out of the mountain white bamboo bush. This person is neither Shi Cheng's subordinate, nor those guys from the Japanese mine combination.His face was covered with beard and hair like a primitive man.

He must live in the mountains.Maybe the Ainu people.Xianbo had heard that the Ainu people lived deep in the mountains. If that was the case—Xianbo's mood became excited. If he caught that person, maybe he knew which mountain and what kind of cave there was. Xian Bo ran desperately, but in vain, the man's shadow disappeared. Xianbo searched the ground, but left no footprints. The mountain white bamboo is gone here, and in front of it is a primeval forest of shrimp and pine.The setting sun came quietly, and the forest gradually darkened.Xianbo felt that primitive people would come quietly from under the night.

There was the sound of running water in the distance. next morning. Xianbo and Feng went upstream along the mountain stream, they were looking for the man with unkempt hair.After two full days of searching, even the vicinity of the apex of the triangle was carefully searched. They decided to abandon their search for the apex of the triangle in the opposite direction from the morning and look for the shaggy-haired man instead. Early in the morning they headed upstream with wary eyes.If savages live in the mountains, they are supposed to leave traces of life somewhere. "No. Could it be that you read it wrong." At noon, Feng said to Xianbo.

They avoided the waterfall and stepped into the primeval forest.Now we are halfway up the mountain. "That's right, it is indeed a person." Xian Bo sat on the rock. That is no illusion. "But it's strange, why do people run away?..." "You can't figure it out until you meet him." "Will you follow us all the time? If we meet by chance, we must live nearby. It's dusk again, so we won't be too far away from where we live." "Maybe it was followed. I think it's possible." The man poked out his head from the white bamboo bushes to peek, giving people a strange feeling.

"Why did you follow me?" "how could I know." "It's not that group of people, who else is looking for ore..." "Why do prospectors wear makeup?" "Yes, they don't have legs. Well, let's eat." "Ah, okay." Xianbo put down his backpack. Holding the rice cooked in a lunch box last night in his hand.Put them one by one on the rocks and eat them. While talking, Xianbo wondered if the man was following him.He was neither part of the fashion gang nor an accomplice in prospecting.Even if stalking is necessary, there is no need to disguise.What is the purpose of that beast-like man following him?

Could it be that they passed by here? "It's so quiet here that it makes people panic." Feng said to himself and lay down.He remembered what happened in Ueda and Jianshan in Shinshu.In Ueda, he was attacked by the group of prospectors from the Japanese mine union, and in Jianshan, he was also attacked by them, and he ran into Shicheng and the others again.Then repelled the attack of the big centipede and found a part of the treasure guarded by Onishi Ishimi. Obviously, everyone is putting their lives on the line in this struggle. Compared with the situation at that time, the prospectors and Shi Cheng were nowhere to be seen here.

The surroundings were as quiet as death. After Akiko Tsuchida left with the enemy, she felt abandoned by the search for heavy water. "Hello." Xian Bo held up the binoculars and shouted in a low voice. "What's the matter?" Feng stood up. "There." Xian Bo handed the binoculars to Feng, pointing ahead. "There is a cliff in the forest. That cliff?" "There's a cabin over there." Feng aimed the binoculars at the hut, which seemed to be made of thatched grass and built in the middle of the cliff. "It's their hut, let's go." Xianbo picked up his backpack. "Why do they live in such a strange place?" Feng also hurriedly picked up his backpack. It was about one kilometer from here to the hut. They left the virgin forest with no roads and walked towards the cliff. After about 30 minutes, they reached the edge of the cliff. The slope of the cliff is very steep, about 50 meters high, and it is difficult to climb.On both sides of the cliff are slanted rocks mixed with forests, and Xianbo and Feng climbed to the forest. From the end of the forest, it seems that you can climb to the top of the cliff, where there is a platform, which is completely recessed into the cliff, and can shelter from the wind.And the outside is not easy to find, it can be said to be a natural fortress.The sunken place faces southeast, and there is a hut there. Xianbo and Feng stood in front of the hut. "Is anyone there?" Xianbo asked. no answer. The hut was built of rough logs, with birch bark on the walls.The door is covered with a mat made of cattail leaves.The mat swayed in the breeze. Xianbo looked into the room, but there was no one there. This is a hut with a size of six or seven square meters.There is a stove in the middle, and the earthen pot is hung on a free hook hanging from the ceiling.The pot was covered, and Xianbo lifted the lid to see that there was a mixture of fish and wild vegetables left in it. It was already cold, and it was this morning's meal. In addition, there were some clutter in the cabin, and surprisingly, there were two beautiful overalls hanging on the wall.There are bamboo spears and bows in the house. "Ainu people?" Feng asked. "I don't know." Xianbo walked outside.A powerful force pierced Xianbo's side, and Xianbo fled into the hut. "Ah!" Feng saw Xianbo's flank pierced by an arrow, and his expression changed. "It's okay, it just hit the belt." Xian Bo pulled out the arrow. "Look! It's still covered with poison." "It's probably bird poison, once it enters the skin, it's over..." Xian Bo's face turned livid. "These rude and rude guys." Feng rushed out using his backpack as a shield. "Hey! Come out, murderer." Feng yelled into the forest. "Okay! Forget it!" Xian Bo stretched out his hand and pulled Feng into the hut. "Maybe they're more scared." "Ok!" "Listen to me." Xian Bo stuck his head out of the mat. "Hey, listen carefully. We are not bad people. We are here to find holes. After seeing you, we want to ask you if there are any holes here. I'm not lying. Come out." Xian Bo shouted, and after the echo echoed in the mountains, It was silent.
