Chapter 4 Chapter Four Threat Letters

Huang Qianshan poked his head out of the door, and there was no one in the aisle, only a few mosquitoes buzzing around in the cool air.Huang Qianshan murmured in his heart, could it be that some girl fell in love with him, but was too embarrassed to confess to him face to face, so he pasted a nasty love letter on the door.Huang Qianshan tore off the note curiously, and glanced at the black and white words in his hand, which read crookedly: No translation is allowed, go back quickly, otherwise——die! This note turned out to be a threatening letter! Huang Qianshan smiled faintly, he thought this threatening letter was really interesting, he just wrote a few words just to scare people away, at least he had to pay the travel expenses back.Although he was not frightened, Huang Qianshan still found it strange that it was less than a day since he moved in, who put the threatening letter on the door so quickly.Could it be that Li Guowei also received the same threatening letter before his death, because he was not obedient, so he died?

Huang Qianshan was translating all night, and had no time to pay attention to the prank of the threatening letter.Finally, at dawn, the whole book was translated, except for the last part.Because the whole book is very long, the main points are listed in general. First, the myths and legends of Yugong Yishan, as well as the legends of different generations; second, Yugong Yishan is indeed true, but digging mountains and moving soil is indeed convenient for access; third, after Yugong Yishan, I don’t know how many years have passed, a group of people also moved mountains here, And under the banner of Yugong; 4. The purpose of this group of digging the mountain is to find treasures in the mountain. The final success or failure is unknown. They established a village near the mountain, and there are piles of black stones near the village; 5. The last part is because The language is confusing and cannot be translated into words.

The next day, Lao Yue and Gu Changtian came to look for Huang Qianshan early in the morning. Although the others were anxious to read the translation last night, they were all lying in bed.Huang Qianshan showed Lao Yue the translation, and Lao Yue read it carefully, nodding from time to time.Gu Changtian sat patiently at the side, and waited for Lao Yue to finish reading before he took the translation and began to read. After reading it, Lao Yue asked, "Mr. Huang, why didn't you translate the last paragraph?" Huang Qianshan rubbed his temples, cleared his dry and hot throat, and said: "The original text in the latter part is very strange. I don't think it was written by the same person. It is not a normal usage at all."

After reading it, Gu Changtian guessed, "Could it be a password or something?" Huang Qianshan shrugged his shoulders and replied with a wry smile: "If it's really a password, there's nothing I can do." "Mr. Huang, let me tell you the truth. Professor Li Guowei has already translated all the previous texts, which are almost the same as yours. Only the last part has not been given to us." Lao Yue sighed. Huang Qianshan always felt that there was something wrong with the manuscript, so he asked, "Did you bring the manuscript, I want to see it."

Lao Yue glanced at Gu Changtian and said awkwardly: "The original manuscript is very precious, we didn't bring it with us, but the photo album is the same as the original manuscript, there is no difference." Huang Qianshan is not good at forcing people to be difficult, and Lao Yue's words are not unreasonable. The photos are taken from the original objects, and looking at the photos is indeed no different from reading the original book.Lao Yue didn't make things difficult for Huang Qianshan, she had to go to the bank to transfer the money after reading the translation, and Gu Changtian didn't have any objections either, he could be said to be obedient to his girlfriend.Huang Qianshan thought to himself that if he took the money, he would have no reason to follow others, not to mention that the manuscript was not fully translated, so he couldn't just take other people's money for nothing.

Thinking of this, Huang Qianshan stopped Lao Yue, and said, "Miss Lao, the money matter is not urgent. Didn't you say that Brother Gu's younger brother is sick and has to go back home? I might as well be his substitute." Lao Yue froze for a moment, she looked at Huang Qianshan curiously, and asked, "Mr. Huang, are you joking?" "If Mr. Huang is willing to join, of course we can't wait to ask for it." Gu Changtian was straightforward. "Changtian, his mother is sick in bed, it's not good to do this." Lao Yue whispered to Gu Changtian.

Huang Qianshan was tongue-tied, if Lao Yue hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about his old lady, but he said: "Miss Lao is worried that the cost of hiring a nurse will increase because of this, then it can be deducted from the salary." "That's not what I mean." Lao Yue said beside him, "If Mr. Huang wants to join, I will be very happy." "But we are going into the mountain at nine o'clock today, you have to bring something, otherwise it will be difficult to cope in the mountain." Gu Changtian reminded. "You don't have to worry about it. I have climbed all the 100,000 mountains in Guangxi. The mountains here are just small hills to us." Huang Qianshan said to Gu Changtian.

"That can't be done." Gu Changtian shook his head, and he said, "How about this, I'll go buy some things for you. Few people go into the mountains to the west, so it's too dangerous to bring nothing." Gu Changtian was very happy for someone to join, so he asked Lao Yue to wake up the others in the hotel, and then went out immediately to help Huang Qianshan buy equipment.Lao Yue had a delicate mind and saw that Huang Qianshan had something else to say. After Gu Changtian left, she asked, "Mr. Huang, do you have anything else to say?" Huang Qianshan let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, I just think you are in a hurry to enter the mountain, are you worried that the first batch of donkey friends will get there first?"

"That's not true. The Eight Immortals cross the sea, each according to his own ability. It's just that next Friday is my parents' birthday. If it can be before their birthdays..." "Understood, I won't hold you back." Huang Qianshan patted his chest and assured, "I will try to translate the last content on the way into the mountain." "Mr. Huang went to the mountain just to translate the last paragraph?" Lao Yue asked pleasantly. "Don't call me so great, I'm just trying to be fresh." Huang Qianshan said this on his lips, but he had such a plan in his heart.

You should know that the job of translation is not dead, but alive, and some content needs to be handled flexibly.Translation first appeared in the era of primitive tribes. There were translations when Dayu was controlling the floods. There are similar records in "Shangshu".What promotes translation is marriage and communication. In the later stage of clan society, the intermarriage of different tribes was required, which led to the next generation learning two languages, or because of the integration (communication, war, etc.) between tribes, some people from one Tribe moved to another tribe.

Back then the world was closed, the continents didn’t know there was a world outside, China didn’t know the UK, and the language was even more difficult, you didn’t know English, he didn’t know Chinese.Before the two languages ​​were blended, there was no translation. At this time, the two countries sent envoys and gradually produced translators after years of field study.Therefore, Huang Qianshan wanted to go into the mountain to take a closer look, maybe he could realize the content of the last paragraph in the mountain, but according to his intuition, the content of the last part of the manuscript is the most critical. However, Huang Qianshan didn't mention the threatening letter to anyone, he thought it was just a silly prank at first. Gu Changtian quickly bought backpacks, sleeping bags, moisture-proof pads, gloves, hats, a change of clothes, headlamps, water bottles, etc. Huang Qianshan thought with emotion, money is good, and there is no need to bargain for things, which can save so much time.Cai Minmin, Hao Dali, and Liang Xiaoyu came to ask about the translation after waking up.When she learned that the last part had not been translated, Cai Minmin was very angry, implying that Huang Qianshan was a charlatan with no real talent or learning.Huang Qianshan didn't bother to care about it, usually he couldn't get in his left ear and right ear if it didn't sound good, so he treated it as someone else farting with his mouth. When Cai Minmin heard that Huang Qianshan was going to follow into the mountain, she pouted, and she even threw all her bags at Huang Qianshan. Huang Qianshan counted them, including tents, medicines, and other messy things. It can be said that she was well prepared.Huang Qianshan smiled softly, just as he was about to carry these things on his back, Hao Dali snatched the things from Huang Qianshan's hand and helped them carry them, and Liang Xiaoyu also took some heavy objects. "Brother, don't rob me, I'm just doing physical work in the team, don't let me lose my job!" Hao Dali blocked Huang Qianshan, preventing him from taking the things back. "You let him memorize it, you really don't know how to enjoy life." Cai Minmin gave Hao Dali a white look. "Minmin, don't say that." Liang Xiaoyu smoothed things over. "You still have the nerve to say that it's all your fault. Everything was stolen at the station, and we bought it again." Cai Minmin said angrily. Liang Xiaoyu was touched to a sore spot, and immediately stopped talking, looking aggrieved.Lao Yue didn't want to shake the morale of the army, so she stepped forward to stabilize the morale. She said, "Okay, I'm going into the mountains today, have you brought everything?" Finally, after a little quarrel, a group of six set out for the west side of Mount Wangwu. The main peak of Wangwu Mountain is called Tiantan Mountain, which is the place where emperors of all dynasties worshiped heaven since Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor.Later emperors thought it was a long way to Jiyuan, so they set up a representative office in the capital to save trouble, so Beijing also had a Temple of Heaven.To cross the main peak of Wangwu Mountain, you must first go to Duanshan Ridge, which is the starting point for Mr. Yugong to dig the mountain.Because he dug a gap here, "the emperor felt his sincerity" and ordered "the two sons of the Kua'e family should bear two mountains, one house in the east and one house in the west. Cut off." Huang Qianshan and Lao Yue walked away gradually, he looked back, Yugong Village had earthen walls, wooden fences, alleys and grass sheds, simple and natural, no different from other villages in Henan, and he felt quite cordial.Many of the mountains in the west have no names, so they are not marked on the map. The locals also advised Lao Yue and the others not to go in, in case they get lost or are caught off guard.Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, the villagers finally resorted to their trump card, threatening that there was a murderer who committed all kinds of crimes in the mountain, and pointed out the newspaper five years ago to them, speaking vividly, as if the murderer was right in front of them. It was summer, and the mountain was cool. After they entered the mountain, they talked and laughed all the way, and it seemed that they would soon see the treasure in the mountain.The west side of Wangwu Mountain is rugged and undulating, mostly steep cliffs.Wisps of green smoke and mist filled the ravine, the mountains were densely forested, and there were occasional small ditches of different sizes. The soil around the ditches was wet and condensed, and a foot could bring up a lump of mud. Few people set foot in the Western Region. Apart from the rumors of murderers, another important reason is the dangerous terrain in the mountains.Not long after entering the mountain, through a forest, there is a very long mountain stream on the mountainside. This mountain stream is caused by the two mountains being torn apart during geological movements.There used to be a suspension bridge over the mountain stream, but it decayed later.In recent years, in order to develop tourism resources, the local government has built a suspension bridge on the mountain stream, but the suspension bridge will always break down for no apparent reason. The villagers felt that the mountain god did not allow the destruction of the creatures in the mountain, so they prevented the government from entering the mountain again. Although the government thought it was strange, it was not easy to persuade the people.Because of this, many people think that the murderer fell into the mountain stream and died, and some people said that the murderer did not die, and that he was still on this side of the mountain stream.In short, none of the local villagers wanted to come in, which also allowed Ximai to maintain its original ecological environment. Lao Yue and the others had inquired among the local villagers a few days ago that during the Cultural Revolution in the early years, some idle young people went to the West Mountain to eat. After crossing the mountain stream, they saw a village, and there was a pile of black stones piled up near the village.However, when I went back the next day, the village was still there, but the villagers had all met each other. Everything in the village was neatly arranged, and it didn't look like they were fleeing.A few years ago, in order to build a new suspension bridge, many villagers had entered the West Line, and they also saw the village of that year. The thatched and mud houses in the village were dilapidated, and it looked like a ghost village. Comparing the translation of the manuscript, Lao Yue believes that more than 80% of what the villagers say is true. The translation mentions that someone once dug a mountain in the name of Yu Gong and built a village nearby. There are black stone piles near the village. It is in line with what the old people in the village said.To find the black stone pile, you have to cross the mountain stream, but there is no suspension bridge in the mountain stream. Although the mountain stream is not deep, the bottom is full of rocks and shallow water.Huang Qianshan joined the team later, so I don't know how Laoyue and the others plan to get there. In the end, Gu Changtian told him that they found an old man who collected herbs. Later, he discovered that there was a secret passage to the bottom of the mountain stream, and another passage directly went up to the opposite mountainside of the mountain stream.This secret passage is natural, not artificial, all thanks to the uncanny workmanship of geological movements. "The old medicine collector said that this secret passage is next to a wooden house, and we can see it when we go into the mountain and go all the way in." Lao Yue said to Huang Qianshan. "Is that the one?" Huang Qianshan's eyes were good, and he saw a moss-covered wooden house squatting under the rocks from afar. "It's all broken like that. It seems that no one has been here for a long time." Cai Minmin was very excited. "No one has come here for so many years, so the secret channel is still there?" Hao Dali said worriedly. "You think the secret passage is a human, but this is a geological secret passage, so you can't run away." Gu Changtian said with a smile. "Let's hurry up, if we haven't passed the mountain stream at night, we have to spend the night in the secret passage." Liang Xiaoyu was very worried. "It's not better, it's more exciting." Cai Minmin said excitedly. The wooden house was built by the old man who collected the herbs in the past, in order to facilitate the drying of the medicines. Some medicines should not be stuffed for too long, so they are placed in the wooden house after coming up from the mountain stream.Because it is used to dry medicine, the wooden house is very simple and small, and it cannot be lived in at all.After seeing the dilapidated wooden house, everyone was very happy, and Huang Qianshan also felt the wind under his feet, as if he was flying up. When they walked to the side of the wooden house, they saw a sunken blue-black mountain rock, and the side of the rock was covered with wild trees and weeds. If they didn't look carefully, they would ignore the hole behind the grass tree.The depression in the rock has a steep slope, and if it weren't for the hole in the center of the rock, there would have been a deep pool here long ago.A gust of cool wind rose from the cave, and the trees and weeds shook unceasingly because of the cool wind, as if inviting everyone to get in.Hao Dali took the lead and jumped down first. As soon as he jumped down, he shouted that there are words below.Gu Changtian thought that there were ancient inscriptions on the rocks, so he shouted at Hao Dali, asking if it was some kind of historic site.Unexpectedly, Hao Dali said that it was not a historic site, but a piece of paper with a line written crookedly: Do not enter the mountain, otherwise - die! Liang Xiaoyu stared curiously at Hao Dali in front of the hole, and asked, "What word? What did you write?" Hao Dali didn't speak, Cai Minmin shouted in a hurry: "If you can't read, throw it up and show me." Seeing that Hao Dali had been silent for a long time, Lao Yue was also a little worried. She asked, "Dali, did you find something?" Hao Dali climbed up from under the rock again, without saying a word, he immediately handed the note to Lao Yue.Huang Qianshan glanced aside and couldn't help but be taken aback. This note was also a threatening letter, no different from the one pasted on his door last night.After Gu Changtian found out that it was a threatening letter, he was taken aback for a moment, but then laughed again, thinking it was just a joke.Cai Minmin didn't take it seriously, she even "cut", only Liang Xiaoyu felt scared and retreated. "Xiaoyu, I'm not talking about you, you really shouldn't have the guts to follow." Cai Minmin shook his head and sighed. Liang Xiaoyu blushed, but insisted, "I didn't say I was afraid." "Could this note be thrown by the group of donkey friends who advanced into the mountain? They may also know about this secret passage." Hao Dali guessed from the side. "It's possible, as long as you ask the old man who collects herbs, you will know about this secret passage. They definitely don't want us to follow." Cai Minmin said disdainfully. Huang Qianshan recalled the threatening letter pasted on his door, and said, "Impossible, it was raining when Ms. Lao and I first arrived here yesterday. You said that group of people went in first, if they threw the note The words on it have long since melted away, so it can only be said that it was thrown just now—or last night.” Lao Yue nodded and said, "Mr. Huang is right. Could it be that there are other people in the mountains?" "Could it be a murderer?" Liang Xiaoyu was so frightened that her face turned green. Cai Minmin gave Liang Xiaoyu a blank look, and said, "What kind of murderer? Didn't he mean that he ran into the mountains for five years? Where did he get the pen and paper?" "No matter who it is, he doesn't want us to enter the mountain." After Huang Qianshan finished speaking, he glanced at the hole under the rock. He thought this threatening letter was very strange. If he was worried that they would steal the treasure, he could go into the mountain one step earlier. There is no point in intimidating others.If they can't enter the mountain, who will they cause harm to, and what secrets are there in the mountain?
