Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Fragments

"Just let her go, she has that thing on her body, we can't afford to mess with her!" I saw that Xinhong and Paul wanted to chase the girl, so I hurriedly stopped them. "What's on her? Why are you so afraid of her?" Paul asked curiously. "She has a gun! I just felt it on her waist, it's unmistakable!" The reason why I can feel it is because Teacher Ye taught me in college that he used to be a policeman.I have touched the guns of his former colleagues many times, of course he told me to touch them for fun. "Guns? What is a girl doing with a gun?" Xinhong said, "Could it be that we also met a female bandit?"

"Don't think about it so much, she's not a good person anyway, can't we afford to provoke her or hide her?" I said angrily.But we are really unlucky. Just now I was thinking that this trip is full of amazing scenery along the way, and there is no danger at all. I didn't know that I would meet a female bandit with a gun, and she was so fierce. Paul said: "It's getting dark now, I'll take you to my sister's various hotels, which are on the south bank of Tianchi Lake." "Thank you, we came to Tianshan Mountain this time to experience the feeling of adventure, so we decided to find a place to camp with no one tonight." Xinhong declined Paul.

After hearing this, Paul said happily: "Camping in the mountains? It's great, I like it, it's so exciting!" Foreigners like to be adventurous. Actually, I really want to stay in a hotel. I also remember that Xin Hongyuan and I didn't intend to live in the wild in the mountains. What's wrong with him.However, since Paul opened his mouth, I said to Xinhong: "Let him stay with us for one night, and I will sleep in a tent alone, I am afraid!" "I'm afraid, don't be funny. I don't know who was bragging about how brave he is yesterday." Xinhong teased me.

"That's a joke, you don't know?" I said with a blank eye. "Okay, okay, I won't be poor with you anymore. Paul, please call your sister and talk to her so that she doesn't worry about you. Have you brought your mobile phone? I can lend you mine." Xinhong took it as he spoke. He took out his mobile phone, which was a silver-white straight shape with a light red rope on it. "No, I brought it. You wait for me." Paul stepped aside after speaking and chattered in English for a while.He ran over excitedly and said, "Okay, my sister and I have agreed, and we can camp with you."

When we were about to leave, we saw a few looming lights floating from the south on the vast Tianchi Lake.I felt strange, so I asked Xinhong: "What's the matter with those lights? They don't look like boats either. By the way, don't we want Bogda Peak? Isn't the peak on the south side of the lake? Why don't we go there by boat? Camping there but camping here?" "Do you remember what you promised me?" Xinhong's expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "I will do whatever I say, don't talk too much!" I wanted to argue at first, but when the words came to my lips, there was only one sentence: "Oh." Although I felt suffocated, I still extinguished my anger.

Seeing my unhappy face, Xinhong explained the reason to me.It turns out that there is a wide and dense sea of ​​pine trees on the south bank of Tianchi Lake.It is summer now, and there is no way to transport dead wood from south to north at this time, so the wood has to be bundled into rows and put into the pool to go down the river.The best time to put rafts is at night, because the wind blowing uphill in Tianchi during the day and the wind blowing downhill at night.At this time, it is necessary to raise the sails, and the wooden rafts will ride the wind and waves, and they will arrive in no time, and light a small lamp on the sails, one for illuminating the navigation, and the other for auspiciousness.Let the carpenter stand in the row, steer the helm and pull the sail.At this time, people go to the birds and return to their nests, the mountains sleep in the forest, and the sky is silent.

However, I couldn't accept Xinhong's answer to why he camped here.He said he didn't want to go anymore because he was tired.How can I believe it, his arm is much harder than mine, I don't feel tired yet, how can he be tired? Xinhong didn't allow me to say more at this time, and pulled me to a small road that wanted to go to the east bank.I am very surprised, why did Xinhong go this way?The road we are going now is the one that the girl just took.But thinking that Xinhong made me obedient, I didn't dare to ask.What if we go camping over there and get shot by her?Hey, I can only go forward with Xinhong.I thought about it, anyway, Paul's three big dogs are there, so don't be afraid, the wicked woman is afraid of the vicious dogs, if she dares to come, I will tell Paul to let the dogs bite her.

The path we took was unusually secluded, with overgrown weeds on the side of the path, and even a lot of weeds in the middle of the path. It seemed that people rarely walked this path.Xinhong told me that this road leads to the Niangniang Temple on the east bank, and this road is on the left side of the way to the Niangniang Temple tourist area.According to legend, this path was opened by Bodhidharma.There is also a Bodhidharma cave above the Niangniang Temple.As soon as I heard that the road opened by a legendary figure, I happily camped here.We walked in from a dense grass on the path, avoiding possible pedestrians.After walking into the depths of the woods, we built our tent under an old tree with a long history.Because Paul didn't bring anything, he brought three big dogs, and we only had two tents, so Xinhong let Paul sleep alone, and he came to sleep in a tent with me.I complained in my heart, thinking that the tent is so small and I have to sleep together, so I won't be able to sleep well tonight.We originally wanted to make do with the biscuits we brought to satisfy our hunger, but Paul saw it and said: "If you eat this? If you come out for adventure and excitement, you must eat natural things! Let's go, I will take you to catch fish."

Paul took me, Xinhong and his three big dogs and ran back to Tianchi. It seems that he should be familiar with this place.The water in Tianchi is cold and clear, and there are many fish on the shallow shore.I heard from Paul that this is a cold-water scaleless fish artificially raised here.Because there are often heavy rains here in summer, some of the fishermen's fish have escaped.The three big dogs seemed to be very happy, running around on the bank, playing and splashing in the water.But after a while, two big dogs actually caught the fish in the water, and they ran towards Paul happily. Who knew that one of the dogs ran halfway, and the fish slipped out of the big dog's mouth.Yu'er was so scared that he ran back to the depths of Tianchi with injuries.The dogs seem to be annoyed, but thanks to them we'll be having delicious grilled fish tonight.

When we got back to camp, we built a small fire and set the fish on fire.I took the salt I had brought from home out of the tent.The salt bottle seemed dirty, I wiped it and there was quite a bit of powder on it.The fish sprinkled with salt was so delicious that we ate it all up in a short while. After Paul finished eating the fish, he took out something like a pill from his pocket and swallowed it. I felt strange and asked him, "Are you taking medicine?" Paul said slightly uneasy: "I'm not feeling well." "I have water here, and it's bad for your health to eat it dry." Xinhong brought a bottle of water to Paul.

After that, we went back to our respective tents.Although it is summer now, it is only about 14 degrees here, so we don't feel hot, but rather cool.At this time, Xinhong suddenly turned around, pulled me to him, and said, "Don't be angry today, I am like this for a reason." I feel that Xinhong is a bit weird today, why he is always angry with me.Xinhong continued: "I camped here on purpose to follow that girl. When I unscrewed her hand today, I saw a dark gray fragment, which looked like a map. At that moment, I seemed to see Something, and the chain on her hand, so I figured she might be looking for something, and that might be what we were looking for." "Why didn't you say it earlier? But that girl doesn't look like a good person, and she still has a gun!" "Because Paul is here, I don't want innocent people to get involved. We don't know anything now. The girl's tent is only a short distance away from us. We will follow her tomorrow, maybe there will be some clues. I'm so sleepy , sleep." Hearing what Xinhong said, I also felt sleepy.I slept very soundly this time, and I didn’t have any dreams, but my head was a little dizzy. Now I am very afraid of dreaming, afraid of dreaming about that ancient man, afraid of seeing his eyes, I don’t know why.Isn't he my Uncle Zou? Why do I feel afraid of him?The sun has reached the very center of the sky, how come we slept for so long, strange? Paul's three dogs are still sound asleep, they are really lazy dogs.However, Xinhong stopped me and said, "Jinwei, where is your cell phone?" I touched the bag where the mobile phone was placed, and found that the mobile phone was no longer there.Xinhong said his was gone too.I hurried over to Paul and asked, "Is your phone still there?" Paul also just got up, he said: "Mobile phone? Wait a minute." He touched his pocket, and then said in shock: "My mobile phone is gone!" Strange, why are our mobile phones gone?I searched and searched, but still couldn't find my phone, but instead found that the copy of the "Red Cliff Book of Heaven" that I had burned with a cigarette butt was missing!Xinhong thought for a while. He picked up the bottle where we stored salt and found some powder on it. He said: "I know. We sprinkled these salts when we ate fish last night. I don't know when someone put the sleeping medicine powder on it. Sprinkled in our salt! No wonder we all slept so soundly!" I suddenly realized that when I took the bottle last night, I found a little powder on it.I said, "So that's how it is, it must be that girl! Only she would come to steal my picture, and even snatch the mobile phones of the three of us, why is she so ruthless!" "Maybe she really knows the text of 'Red Cliff Book of Heaven'." Xinhong said. Paul stood aside blankly, with a confused look on his face, and asked, "What are you talking about? Are you saying that the girl stole our things? Then let's go find it. I'll ask the dog to lead the way." Paul patted three big dogs. Dogs, the big dogs got up.When a big dog saw Xinhong, it rushed up and licked Xinhong's face fiercely. Xinhong finally pushed the dog away. He stroked the dog's head and said, "Good boy, be good!" The big dog panted with its mouth open. Xinhong looked at a tiny red thread on the dog's teeth, frowned, and said, "This is..." "What is it?" Paul asked. "It's nothing, hurry up and take us to find that girl. We don't have a mobile phone now, so if something happens to us, we can't contact the outside world!" Xinhong resumed his expression just now, and said as if nothing happened. In the depths of the woods, we found a place with traces of camping.The weeds and fallen leaves on the ground were scattered, and there were some dark red blood stains on the leaves.There was actually a piece of debris on a stone, it seemed that it should be the piece that the girl took out from the ancient elm yesterday.The girl left, why did her fragments stay here?However, she doesn't look like a careless person. "This girl is so bad, now this piece belongs to us!" I said gloatingly. Xinhong looked at the things on the ground thoughtfully. Since I got here just now, I feel that he has been acting weird, and I can't explain why.He said: "Jin Wei, I think what we are looking for may need something to open, and the thing to open may be this fragment!" "How do you know?" I asked a little unhappy, and then complained in my heart, Xinhong said not to talk about these things in front of Paul last night, why did he say so much today. "Think about that picture of Ziweiyuan first. There are a few big 'seven' on it. That is, the holes you ironed later, there are a total of eight. Ziweiyuan is centered on the North Pole, while Tianshan Tianchi just happens to have Datianchi as its center, and the eight big caves are distributed around Datianchi, isn't that ancient elm just one of those eight big caves?" "That's right, why didn't I think of that. Arranged according to the above, it is indeed like this. But here are eight pieces, except for this one, I think all the other eight pieces have been taken away by that girl!" I really don't want to say These words, because Xinhong said that he was not allowed to say these things in front of Paul, but now he has almost finished talking about us, why is he like this, what is going on with him? "The raised pattern on this fragment is very fine, but the back of it looks like a part of a map. You see." After Xinhong finished speaking, he handed the yearly card to me. I took it very unhappy, and I was still angrily blaming Xinhong.Why can't I say what he can say?Xinhong was not like this before. At this time, Xinhong even continued to say: "Since Ziweiyuan is also called Ziwei Palace, and Ziwei Palace represents the imperial palace, and these eight fragments are distributed according to it, maybe there is really an imperial palace hidden on Tianshan Mountain. Woolen cloth!" So weird, so weird!I had to watch Xinhong carefully, whether he was Zou Xinhong who I grew up with! ?
