Chapter 9 Chapter Eight: The Construction Team Deep in the Mountain

"We came here at the right time." After a short period of fear, Qin Hai suddenly became extremely excited. "Brother Qin, before I want to enter the mountain, we have to discuss it carefully. I don't think this mountain is a place where you can set foot casually." I said this with some worry. "You guys are scared, you don't have to go, anyway, I'm going. I think the scariest animal in this world is a human being, and the rest are nothing more than bigger and more scary-looking things. I never think these things There's nothing to be afraid of." After Qin Hai said this to me, he picked up his package and walked towards the mountain without hesitation.

Without discussing with the rest of the people, Lao Tofu stared at Qin Hai's back, almost gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go, and anyone who is afraid of it should not go." He lost a lot of face in front of Lin Li today. I can understand the mood. Among this group of people, Jia Xiaobing and I were the ones who couldn't withdraw at all.Lin Li was frightened, so she agreed to continue the action after she had to say something, so she didn't hold us back. After walking for about 20 minutes, we came to the foot of Wuliang Mountain, which is the end of Xiuxi Ridge.A dirt road winds its way up through gaps in the various trees.We each broke a thick and long branch as a walking stick and went up the mountain.

The vegetation on the mountain is very tall and dense, and it is very cool to walk under the shade of the dark trees. Due to the long mountain of Wuliang Mountain, the mountain road is not steep along the way, and everyone is not very tired.After walking up for about an hour, looking back, Xiuxi Ridge has been completely blocked by the lush vegetation of Wuliang Mountain.At this moment, Qin Hai took out his compass to look at it, and asked, "Did your grandfather tell you the location of the Fountain of Immortality?" "My uncle found the spring in the south." Qin Hai put back the compass and said, "Let's go along." After that, he led us to the south mountain ridge.

At this time, we have entered the depths of Wuliang Mountain, and the light is even darker.Suddenly, on the thick trunk of a big tree by the side of the road, we accidentally found a notice posted on it. A notice jointly issued by Wuliangshan Forest Farm and the local Public Security Bureau.The general content is that tourists who enter Wuliang Mountain should try to avoid walking this section of the mountain road, so as not to encounter unnecessary harm, and the photos torn out in the middle are precisely the photos of wanted criminals.In this way, the one who tore up the notice should be the criminal himself.

Jia Xiaobing took the lead and shouted: "Fuck, there are people who are more fearless than us, and come here to feed the monster." I frowned and said to him: "Can you say a few auspicious words. We have all been eaten, what can you save?" Qin Hai also stopped in his tracks and asked for our opinion: "Should we continue walking or make a big circle, what do you think?" "Can't go around, who knows where that guy is? Maybe he is in the Fountain of Youth, what should come will always come." I expressed my opinion. Qin Hai waited for a while and saw that no one raised any objections, so he said, "Then let's continue on our way."

We continue heading south.Along the way, more and more notices were posted, but the photos were all removed.Seeing this, Qin Hai smiled and said, "The people from the forestry farm and that wanted criminal are really boring. One side can put money into posting these wanted warrants, and the other side can work hard to tear up those photos." Lin Li frowned and said, "This phenomenon is unreasonable. I have studied tracking and anti-tracking courses. From the prisoner's point of view, it is impossible for him to completely find the wanted notices posted by so many people and tear them up." Delete the photo part. One is to waste time and delay the chance of escaping; the other is the purpose of tearing up the photo. Although it is to create obstacles for the pursuers, it is also equivalent to exposing the path of escape. Since it is such a waste of time, it is also After locating the position, is there such a stupid thief?"

Lin Li's analysis was very professional, which made me look at this beautiful girl with admiration.Qin Hai also nodded again and again, and said: "You are very reasonable. But everything is done by people. I don't think the people in the forestry farm and the Public Security Bureau will be so bored as to issue false arrest warrants. Then, there is something really suspicious. Yes, it should be the person who tore the note." I almost forgot that Qin Hai was also a criminal policeman, professionally speaking, he should be regarded as Lin Li's senior brother.Lin Li nodded, walked to one of the big trees with the wanted notice on it, observed carefully for a while and said, "I can be sure that the person who tore up the wanted notice is definitely not the wanted person."

"Really? Are you so sure?" Qin Hai replied with a smile, with some encouragement and expectation in that smile. Lao Doufu watched the two of them discuss the case, his expression became more and more gloomy, it seemed that the old hatred had not disappeared and he added a new hatred.Lin Li didn't notice Lao Doufu's face. She had good grades in her professional courses, and she won't miss the opportunity to practice this time, so she said immediately: "Judging from the incomplete parts of the paper, every piece of paper is It is just to remove the middle part, leaving the upper and lower ends. This shows that the purpose of the person doing this is very clear, what he wants is the photo, and he has no intention of destroying the rest. In a state of urgency, it is impossible to make every photo A piece of paper was torn to almost the same degree, but what we saw was roughly the same, indicating that the person who tore up the notice was doing things calmly. Therefore, it can be concluded that the person who tore up the wanted warrant is someone else, definitely not a fugitive However, I am not very clear about the purpose of the other party doing this, I guess there may be two points, one is to prevent others from knowing who the wanted criminal is, and the other is to leave traces for the accomplices who follow him."

"Well, although it is difficult to judge this matter at present, I agree with your reasoning. This can at least show that we are not the only people in Wuliang Mountain at present, there are at least one or more criminals, or They are a group of stalkers with ulterior motives, and these people may pose a threat to us." "So what, are you afraid?" Lao Tofu said this sentence with his head stuck. "Am I afraid? If I am afraid, we have to break up on the spot." "Don't treat yourself like a dish, it's safer without you." After saying that, Lao Tofu strode forward.Suddenly, a huge boa constrictor leaned out from a pile of fallen leaves like lightning, and bit down on Lao Tofu's ankle.

Lao Doufu's reaction was quick, and at the very moment, he retreated suddenly.Fortunately, the boa constrictor only bit through his trousers, but the snake's head was caught in the rags because of it, and he twisted his body and flinched back.Frightened by this, Lao Doufu fell down and rolled down the mountain. Although this boa constrictor is more than two meters long, it is much smaller in size than the one under the sycamore tree. It can't control the falling force of an object weighing more than one hundred kilograms, let alone facing a big living person , but was dragged by the old tofu and rolled down.There are many trees on the hillside, and Lao Doufu was blocked by a big tree before rolling far.He was also considered smart, he stepped on the snake's head tightly with his feet, preventing the python from wrapping itself up immediately.We immediately followed and tried our best to straighten the python. Qin Hai rushed to the front with quick hands and sharp eyes, and cut off the snake's head with his engineering shovel.

Lao Doufu didn't hesitate at the moment, he stood up, without saying a word, he was about to walk up the mountain again.I grabbed him and said, "Brother, the mountain roads are different from the roads in the city. Don't be so reckless, okay?" As soon as I finished speaking, I heard footsteps faintly coming from the woods, and there were more than one person.Did we meet another group of people so soon?Everyone immediately found a big tree to hide themselves.Qin Hai took out a pistol and made a gesture to us, which meant that we should not panic. The footsteps were getting closer, and a voice came from a person: "Master, we must stop this matter." "Why? With such a precious place, I have to correct my mistakes with just one word from you?" The voice was familiar, but I couldn't figure out who it was.I moved my head slightly, and looked at the two people who were talking, and it turned out to be the two Taoist priests I saw in the morning.At this moment, the old Taoist priest was looking at the young Taoist priest angrily. "Master, don't you see that this is an old dragon's nest? This is about to cause serious trouble." The little Taoist said in a stubborn tone, as if he disapproved of his master very much. "Don't talk nonsense. You have only read Fengshui for a few years, and can you tell the old dragon's nest? Let me ask you, take Wuliang Mountain as the ancestor, and Maotou Mountain as the young ancestor. Scattered, this is not the dragon veins, so what? Besides, the dragon veins in the mountain first suppress and then rise, and there is a horizontal barrier of Yuping Saturn in the north. With the help of the side row of the Yuping, the dragon veins rise successively, and then suddenly fall off, majestic and thick Saturn, from west to east, turns to the southeast. The curved ring is twisted, but it is not flat, so what if it is not a dragon's lair?" The old Taoist was trembling with anger, and even dropped the compass on the ground.From this, it can be seen how angry he was at his apprentice's ignorant correction.But the old dragon's nest is also a dragon's nest after all. If so, is there any need to argue?You can't deny that you are a dragon just because the dragon is old, right?I pondered in my heart in a daze. "Master, look at the shape of the mountain. Although this is the dragon's vein, and there is Yuping Saturn, but you haven't seen the waterway in the forest in front of you? There are at least two holes on the left and right of the waterway. It must be the place where the old dragon draws water. It's not difficult. distinguish?" The old Taoist grabbed his apprentice's neck, gasped and said, "I finally found a dragon's lair this time, and you have only been here for a few years? Dare to disobey the teacher's words, but look for the teacher's mistake?" , This is an act of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors. You...have you forgotten how hard it was to raise you as a teacher back then?" Having said this, the old Taoist priest's white hair trembled. The little Taoist finally lowered his stubborn head, and said in a low voice: "Master, something big will happen if you mess up the dragon's lair. I am also worried about you, old man. I have no other intentions. I can't repay the kindness of nurturing. How dare I disobey it?" Master's words." Hearing this, the old Taoist's complexion improved, and he said earnestly: "Trust Master, you will never be wrong. The old dragon's lair will never be in the open. You are worrying too much about this. However, as we do Okay, be careful sailing for thousands of years. If you make a mistake in the dragon's lair, you will be punished, be careful, you will always be right." The little Taoist didn't say anything more, and followed the master out of the woods obediently. It seems that they came here just now to find a secret place to discuss matters, and there was an argument.I couldn't understand most of what they said, but I only remembered the relatively unique term "Old Dragon's Nest". We didn't come out of the bunker until the two of them disappeared.Jia Xiaobing looked a little flustered, and asked: "Did you hear that just now? What is the old dragon's nest? Is it the monster that made the sound before entering the mountain?" Old Tofu said: "Don't talk nonsense, maybe it's a dragon." "Nonsense, I absolutely don't believe that there are dragons in the world. If there are dragons, there will be ghosts." Jia Xiaobing said this nonsense again nonchalantly.Up to now, we have basically adapted to him, and no one cares about him. Qin Hai reminded: "We have just entered the mountain, and we can't just listen to the wind and rain. However, the roar just now must not have been made by ordinary animals, and the two Taoist priests must have missed it. Judging from the direction they came from, it should be the same as Xiuxi Ridge is not on the same slope. However, I think the old dragon's nest they mentioned must have a certain meaning, so we must be careful." "Then shall we continue on?" I asked. "I will never stop anyone who wants to turn around." Qin Hai said coldly.After all, he followed in the direction in which the two Taoist priests exited, and we followed closely behind.After walking not far, everyone immediately stopped. When the mountain reached here, it began to descend.Below is a flat land, surrounded by mountains, dotted with dilapidated houses.The flat ground is full of busy construction workers, and various construction materials and construction machinery and equipment are distributed among them.Two Taoist priests stood halfway up the hillside, Zheng and Li Zong pointing and not knowing what to say. When we were young, our family didn’t allow us to go up the mountain to play, so although it’s only one hill away from Xiuxi Village, I didn’t even know there was such a place. At this time, a truck drove over from a distance, and there was a huge steeple-shaped stone tablet in the trailer, which was densely engraved with words.Because the distance is not far, they can clearly hear their conversation. Mr. Li said: "I made a county annals on this stele, and engraved myself on it by the way." The old Taoist stroked his beard, nodded slightly, and said, "That's right. Given this opportunity, I can engrave my surname on a stele and store it in the dragon's lair. Mr. Li, your time to flourish is just around the corner." After listening to Mr. Li, he was very happy, and took out a thick wad of money from his bag, and handed it to the old Taoist: "Yesterday, I heard that the Taoist priest said that he wanted to buy some magical instruments, and I can't help. Do yourself some good deeds." The old Taoist was not polite, and motioned the little Taoist to take the money, and said: "The art of Fengshui is in the heart. Only with the heart, can you see the hidden dragon's lair in the dangerous mountain. Jidi can't force it." , Dragon's Cave is even more so, it is also due to Li Zong's good fortune, the old Taoist is here, congratulations to Li Zong for opening the door to see the treasure." It turned out that the old Taoist found a dragon's lair in Wuliang Mountain for the surname Li.The one surnamed Li couldn't wait, so he set up a stele at the Dragon's Cave to sing praises to himself.I was just thinking it was funny, suddenly, Lao Tofu pulled my arm.Following his guidance, I looked to the left and saw a small stream flowing down a fault on the left side of the mountain.The water is weak, so there is no sound at all.There is a depression on the mountainside, where the stream flows to form a small pond.On the left and right sides of the pond, there is a circular hole, and the inside is dark and seems very deep.Suddenly, I seemed to see a burst of purple air gushing out from the hole, and I couldn't help feeling my scalp tingle. I kept staring at the two caves, and vaguely felt that the purple air was getting thicker and thicker, but the three people not far away seemed to be unaware of it, and continued to chat about their own affairs.Mr. Li asked: "What day is tomorrow, has the Taoist seen it?" "The auspicious day of the zodiac is definitely a good day to break ground. This matter has been in preparation for a long time, Mr. Li can rest assured to do it, and we will also be happy." Mr. Li laughed out loud after hearing this, extremely proud. At this time, Qin Hai, who was standing in front of us, turned his head and signaled us to retreat.After we retreated quietly, he asked, "Have you seen those two openings?" The openings were so obvious that it was impossible to see them, Qin Hai continued, "I've really heard of the old dragon's nest. It is said that this is the ascension place that Shanjing was looking for before turning into a dragon, so there must be a source of water. Because the day before it becomes a dragon, it must appear to absorb water. If it is not seen, it can become a dragon and ascend to heaven the next day. If you are seen, you will be punished by heaven immediately. This is the so-called old dragon's nest." The first time I heard about the existence of the old dragon's nest, I couldn't help feeling horrified, and asked: "Could it be that there are bigger guys in the old dragon's nest?" "It can be said that. For example, someone once witnessed a giant anaconda tens of meters long in the Amazon rainforest, so the place where this anaconda was bred is the old dragon's nest. The so-called ascending to heaven and transforming into a dragon are folk rumors , but the environment in which the giant grows must be different from other places. Therefore, the old dragon's nest must exist." I hurriedly said, "There was purple smoke coming out of that hole just now, have you noticed?" After hearing my words, everyone laughed.Jia Xiaobing teased: "Bingge, your eyes are too poisonous. You just said this might be an old dragon's nest, and you saw the old dragon's fart. Brother, I really admire it." It seemed that no one except me saw the misty purple gas.Maybe it was my overthinking, and I had hallucinations again. Thinking of this, I felt a little embarrassed, so I stopped talking.At this moment, Lao Doufu suddenly said to Qin Hai: "You say you are a policeman, but how can a policeman know so many strange things?" This situation is indeed questionable.After entering the mountain, Qin Hai was completely different from before. Even if his personality was split, it wouldn't happen because of the change of the environment, right? Facing the doubts from everyone except Lin Li, Qin Hai sneered and said, "What's so strange? This has nothing to do with the police profession, it's just because I'm curious about these things. Don't you guys have curiosity? If I tell you that the person surnamed Li will not survive tomorrow, will you immediately ask me why? If I can't answer, then, if conditions permit, will you look for information related to this aspect? ? When looking for these situations, you will continue to discover some answers or truths related to them. Over time, you will be like me." Qin Hai said calmly, as if all this was taken for granted.We have no reason to question him, so we can only let it go. I changed the subject and asked, "Should we move on?" Qin Haidao: "Of course we can't leave. If this is really the old dragon's nest, then Li Hao won't survive tomorrow, and I have to wait for the answer." "Should we help him? Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda." Jia Xiaobing finally said something human. "If you don't want to cause trouble for yourself, don't do this. The old dragon's lair is also a ecstasy circle, and the person who enters can't get out at all. If you force him to come out, the result is to be trapped in it with him. However, the main reason I want to stay here is not to wait to see the excitement, maybe that small waterfall is the fountain of youth? Don't you think of it?" One sentence reminds us, why are we here?Isn't it just to find that spring water? Any spring in Wuliang Mountain deserves our attention. It seems that Mr. Li and the others are planning to carry out large-scale construction projects here for a while. If this is really the Fountain of Youth, we have no way to investigate it yet.However, on second thought, if this is really the Fountain of Youth, then none of the more than a thousand Japanese devils who were armed with live ammunition could get out alive, so is it possible to survive based on the sum of his calendar and his engineering team?Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became heavy. Qin Hai obviously didn't care about their lives at all, and led us back to the mountain road to the west to set up camp. After setting up the three tents, Qin Hai said: "I'll go out and have a look, you guys prepare dinner. Here is no better than at home, everyone should be more careful." After that, he turned and went north, and quickly disappeared in the In the vast forest. Seeing Qin Hai walking away, Old Tofu immediately took out his old-fashioned shotgun. After filling it with gunpowder, he began to load the iron egg again.I immediately pressed his hand and asked, "What do you want to do?" "Didn't you see that kid is crazy? We have to be prepared and protect ourselves. Otherwise, we will be killed by him sooner or later." Lin Li also said seriously: "Xiao Ma, I have to warn you, once you hold the gun, you are standing outside the prison gate. I hope you will not be so impulsive." I also persuaded: "Dude, it's all about conflicts among the people. As for using guns?" Maybe it would be better if Lin Li didn't persuade him. At this moment, Lao Doufu said with a dark face: "No one cares about me, otherwise, don't blame me for turning against me." "What are you going to do? As soon as he comes, you will kill him?" Jia Xiaobing was very nervous, as if he was afraid of becoming an accomplice. "I'm not that impulsive. I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case. For such a friend, we must hold back." After Lao Tofu finished speaking, he hid the "old cannon" under the sheet in the tent, and He said in a low voice to us, "We have to think of an idea and hand over the gun in that kid's hand. It's a Glock. If you say you hit the left eye, you will never hit your right eye." Lao Doufu is a military fan. There are countless military magazines at home. I absolutely trust his ability to distinguish a pistol.He continued: "The gun of Glock is not available to ordinary people, even criminal police, it is impossible to have it. So, this kid must have a backstage that we didn't expect. Do you think we are controlled by him and can be caught? " But the problem now is that Qin Hai is obviously not such an easy character to deal with.Taking the gun from him would definitely take a great risk. In case of an accident, the consequences would be unimaginable, especially in the mountainous area. In case of an accident, it would be difficult to send news, let alone asking for help. things.I spoke out my concerns, and everyone frowned and thought hard, and finally felt that it was difficult to find a way to solve this matter.After a while, Lin Li said: "I think it's best to put the matter of handing over the guns to the back, and make a decision after seeing Qin Hai's next move. After all, whether he is an enemy or a friend, no one can tell right now. .” "I can't tell you shit! You're aiming at him." Old Tofu suddenly said this, and his jealousy immediately filled the dense forest.We look at this person, then at that person, and we don't know what to say. "Little Ma, I hope you don't say such inexplicable words to me. Both of you are my friends. I just hope that everyone can return home safely. It is very unwise to have conflicts at this time." "I don't care about conflicts. He and I are not friends at all." Lao Tofu was still very angry.Lin Li was so angry that her face turned red and white, but she couldn't say a word. In all fairness, I think what Lin Li said makes sense.Qin Hai has a gun on his body, which can't explain any problems. It is very wise to prepare some self-defense weapons when he comes to such a dangerous place.Of course, Qin Hai really shouldn't point the gun at us, but this is an internal conflict that can be reconciled. It is indeed too early to say to hand over the gun now.Before I could persuade him, Jia Xiaobing took the lead and said: "Think about it, it's not a big deal. She's not your wife, and you're not her husband. It's pointless to worry about these things." It's okay if Jia Xiaobing doesn't persuade, this way of persuading the fight is simply adding fuel to the fire.Lao Doufu was trembling with anger, Lin Li's tears were streaming down her face, she didn't know whether she was angry with Qin Hai or Jia Xiaobing.I hastened to smooth things over: "It's not that complicated, let's first agree with the outside world."
