Chapter 11 Chapter Ten Leigong Ridge

In order to send Yang Erpi's goods to Fuxian Lake in time, the iron horse gang rectified their troops that night and began to march towards Leigongling.Although Uncle Ah Tie's caravan is just a private transportation team, the internal division of labor is very clear.Eight men, divided into front guards, one team opened the way in front, and the other team guarded the rear.Uncle Atie said that life is peaceful now, and there are few bandits on the road.The precipitousness of Leigong Ridge, in the past, would have had bandits occupying the mountain as king.I looked around the mountain of Leigong Ridge, it was towering and steep, with dense forest like clouds.The only thing that can pass through is the winding path under our feet. It is indeed a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.Through contacts and conversations along the way, I gradually learned why the well-equipped Yang Erpi had to work hard to invite Uncle A Tie to come out.Just one word: fast.Leigongling is limited in size, without this mountain, it would only take half a day to go to Miao Village.But if it is blocked across the mountain, it would take at least four or five days for ordinary people to get over it.Only the iron horse gang in Yunnan and Guizhou has a set of mountain-climbing stunts, which can make chariots and horses fly across the mountains and reach the opposite bank within a day.Chamu followed me all the way, and kept preaching about the majesty of the Iron Horse Gang, which made me full of curiosity about how to fly across the cliff in one day.But this monkey boy is really hateful, he ran to the front to chase Xiangling after he finished talking, and only said that we would naturally see the magic of this place when we climbed to the mountainside.

"Old Hu, what do you think about Yang Erpi's matter?" "He does what he likes to do with his own business, why should we worry about it?" I thought the four-eyed thing was crazy, so I persuaded me, "I've made inquiries just now. As long as you get off Leigong Ridge, go south to Yuemiao Village. If you're lucky, we can get there before dark tomorrow." Meet Shirley Yang. At that time, they will take their Yangguan Road, and we will cross our single-plank bridge. As for Yang Erpi's crap, I'm really not interested in knowing. Four Eyes, have you been too busy lately? Nope."

"Aren't I curious?" The four-eyed chicken thief leaned towards me, "What are you talking about, is he rushing to meet his old lover?" I was almost choked to death by his words, and asked in disbelief: "Who did you learn this from? How come you are like a fat man possessing a body." With four eyes, he murmured to himself: "I heard what Xiao Chamu said...he said that those boxes were packed, maybe they were dowry gifts." "Isn't this nonsense, ah, besides Yuemiao Village, there is no living place nearby. He went to Fuxian Lake to propose marriage to the ghost?"

Before I could speak, I suddenly realized that something was wrong, and a fiery gaze from behind stared at me like an eagle's claw.Turning my head to look, Yang Erpi was riding on a horse, holding a torch in his hand, staring at me with a livid face.On this mountain road shrouded in darkness, it looked particularly gloomy.It stands to reason that the distance between Yang Erpi and me is at least ten meters away, so it is impossible to hear what Siyan and I are talking about, but judging by his face, it doesn't look like simple constipation!Why is this old thing not working well?Four eyes also noticed Yang Erpi's vicious expression, he tugged on the mule's ears, and shook his head at me: "It's better to mention less about those unclean things in the barren mountains and wild mountains."

I said it was all started by you kid, why did it end up being my fault, you scholars are really difficult to serve.It's boring, I won't talk nonsense with you, I'll go to the front and ask how Uncle Atie plans to fly across Leigong Ridge.I walked forward quickly, avoiding the staring eyes behind me. I don't know why, since I went up the mountain road, I always feel uncomfortable all over, and I always feel that something is staring at us.But on this mountain, except for trees, there are only rocks, and it is high and steep, and it is not like a place where people can hide.I secretly told myself, don't think about it, because people are scared and things happen when they are scared.It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when we set off from Jiangcheng.We walked all the way, and three or four hours passed, and no one in the line called out for being tired.Even Yang Erpi's group of ruffian soldiers, who are usually lazy and lazy, gritted their teeth and marched behind the caravan.The road under our feet is getting narrower and narrower. Although there are torches and lights to open the way, we are still not at ease. We must know that there is a cliff within a stretch of our arms, and if we stumble a little, we will be smashed to pieces.I don't know how Shirley Yang and the others turned over, and whether they have reached Yuemiao Village safely.Because the mountain road can no longer accommodate the two of them, I had to look at the back of Uncle Ah Tie's head and talk to him.

"Hahahahahahaha, you asked how to fly across Leigong Ridge overnight?" Uncle Ah Tie paused for a moment, turned his head and said with a smirk: "I heard from Lin Kui that you have some skills, how about it, can you guess Guess?" I thought to myself, sir, your stomach hurts. If I like to play guessing riddles, why should I torture my eyeballs with you? I can find a mule at random than your black face, right?He had no choice but to answer him: "This, I guess it must contain the crystallization of wisdom and sweat. It is a secret art inherited from the ancestors. It can fully reflect the courage and courage of the caravan, right?"

"You baby, why don't you talk with the radio." Uncle Ah Tie said disdainfully, "After going around for a long time, I didn't say a single truth. Everyone in the city has this virtue." "Yes, yes, you taught me a lesson," I put away my smiling face and thought for a while, "People can't grow wings, let alone cargo horses. There should be a cable car or something on this mountain, which can go downwind , directly to the other side.” Now Uncle Ah Tie simply stopped, turned around, and gave me a hard blow on the shoulder: "My boy, you can already see this. Yes, there is a cable on Leigong Ridge, but ordinary people definitely don't Dare to use it easily."

"Why is that?" Uncle Ah Tie pointed to the abyss below our feet and said: "Leigong Ridge is too dangerous to build large-scale projects, so there are cables connected to the other side in the sky above, but they can't hang iron box cars. The only way is to use ropes to tie people and animals. slide down." As soon as he finished speaking, the whistling mountain wind suddenly rolled up from the bottom of the mountain.I raised the flashlight and shone it down, and the entire beam of light was swallowed up by the night before it shone far.I don't know how high we have gone. I can't help swallowing at the thought of sliding to the opposite side alone from the helpless cable.

"Why, are you scared?" Uncle Ah Tie stroked his beard, and said a little puzzled: "I'm also weird. It stands to reason that climbing the ropeway is the last resort, and we will only do it when we are really in a hurry. No, but the boss Yang came up and asked me the fastest way. I told him the danger of the Leigongling cableway, but he didn't even blink, and kept saying yes, and he insisted on arriving in two days. Fuxian Lake. I don’t know what he’s transporting, but he really wants money and life.” Seeing that I was still thinking, he said: "Don't worry, you don't have to go along the cableway. Later, our large troops will go down the cableway to deliver the goods, and then ask Chamu to take two people to accompany you. Take the mountain road to the stockade, hold your feet tight, it will only take three or four days."

I said, Uncle Tie, you are overthinking, and we are also in a hurry to find someone. Since everyone can go on this ropeway, how can I retreat? Isn’t that a joke for Yang Erpi? Unexpectedly, Uncle Tie disagreed. He said: "You haven't seen it before. This deal of leaving people by cableway, our gang loses people every year. If he wasn't in a hurry to go to Fuxian Lake, I wouldn't want to leave here. You and that little boy Glasses are for finding someone, not a fatal joint. Besides, I have promised Dr. Lin to take care of you. If something goes wrong, where will I put my A Tie's face. No, no, you can climb the mountain with confidence, Cableways are not for you laymen."

I passed Uncle Atie's words to Siyan, asked his opinion, and Siyan said dissatisfiedly: "Why the plan has changed again, we are just going to Yuemiao Village, how can it be changed three times a day, you people It's not reliable." "I don't have the final say. The ghost knows that there is a cableway on it. I don't care. Let alone the cableway, I have also climbed the post road in Shuchuan." "Oh, you mean, to take care of me?" Four eyes pushed up the glasses, "Tell him, we are going with the big army, and it is too tiring to climb mountains and so on, Master Qin is not happy." Siyan and I both intend to walk the legendary Leigongling cableway.The two made up their minds and followed the caravan to the end.He Yang Erpi walked, and we naturally walked better.Uncle Ah Tie couldn't hold back the two of us, and only said that we would arrive at the place in a while, and the custodian scared us so much that we didn't dare to talk nonsense.At this time, it was already midnight, and the mountain wind was blowing towards the top of the mountain. I walked on the half-person-wide cliff road, and I always had the illusion of being crumbling.Because the width of the mountain road is limited, the distance between the team members has been widened. Although horses are stronger than people, the four hooves are different. Climbing the mountain road is much easier than those of us with two legs.Due to the road conditions, the cargo box can no longer be carried by two horses at the same time as usual. Before entering the cliff, the horse driver has already tied the support on both sides of the cargo box to the horse's back, allowing the horse to carry it horizontally Follow the aisle.An extra part of the cargo box was out of thin air and exposed to the outside of the cliff. It was all relying on the horse to control the balance and walk on the dangerous road, which made me tremble with fear.Chamu said that these old horses have been walking on mountain roads all year round, and their ability to master balance is much higher than that of humans, so we don't need to worry about it.But seeing them wobbly, I feel like a knife is hanging in my heart, something is bound to happen.I looked around, and most of the people had already turned the mountain road ahead and marched towards the mountainside. Behind me were Yang Erpi and others, as well as the two little brothers in the caravan who were in charge of the rear.I grasped the mountain wall with both hands, and moved towards the bend bit by bit, with my whole body in the shape of a big character.My little mule followed me. It looked at me sideways, probably not understanding why it was so hard.At this time, if something suddenly touches me, I guess I can only die in this hot land of Yunnan.There is a saying, what to be afraid of, I just crossed the curve with my front foot, before my four eyes could catch me, something happened on the mountain road behind me, and a scream suddenly broke out.My feet swayed, and the whole person fell to the cliff behind him, his four eyes caught me, and the two of them swayed on the horizontal line for a long time before they stabilized their figure.I turned around and cursed: "Which bastard, you want to die!" But I saw Yang Erpi's group, one by one, ran forward desperately as if they had seen a ghost, good guy, on the three-foot-wide mountain road, this group of people rushed forward like crazy, howling like ghosts and wolves, as if there was no reason at all. See the cliff below.One rushed to the front and shouted: "There are ghosts, there are ghosts on the mountain!" Crying and shouting, he rushed towards me.Now it's my turn to have a headache. Although I don't know what happened to them, but the mountain road under my feet can only accommodate one person barely standing. He ran so thoughtlessly, I couldn't even move. No, it seemed that he was either pushed down by him, or he was going to bring him down cruelly. "Don't run, don't run! No one can stand here!" I pressed my whole body against the mountain wall and waved violently at that person.As if he didn't see it, he kept running towards me.Standing sideways in front of me with four eyes, he glared at me and motioned for me to come down hard.Just when I was hesitating, that guy had already jumped in front of me, holding my collar tightly with both hands, because he was already half-hanging outside the cliff because he was far away, but he still didn't know it. I shouted in my ear: "It's gone, it's gone, there's a ghost!" I was dragged off balance by him, and the two fell down the cliff together. With four eyes, he bent down and grabbed my left hand.I fell on the cliff with my upper body completely hanging out.Yang Erpi's crazy guy has long been frightened, he only knows to grab my shirt and keep jumping up, but the more he moves, the more dangerous our side is.If it doesn't work out, all three of them will fall to their deaths.The cross wind in the mountains blew across my face, and the pain made me unable to open my eyes, only to hear that guy keep calling for help, and I was sprayed with saliva all over my face.I said in my heart that you are a big fool, let you run, let you run, damn it, you will drag me to the back when you are dying.The location of our accident was too embarrassing, it happened to be where the mountain road turned, and there was no village or shop behind, so the people on both sides could only worry.One of the four eyes pulled the two of us, his face was flushed from holding back, and only half of the ear was hanging on the glasses. "Old Hu, kick him down." The voice of the four eyes has never been more ruthless.I looked back at him in disbelief, and instinctively grabbed the unlucky boy hanging on me with my right hand, trying to stabilize him.Seeing that I didn't listen to him, Siyan became anxious on the spot: "If you don't let go and we all die together, is he worth it?" As soon as he opened his mouth, the strength in his hand suddenly relaxed a little, and I slid out a lot.He hastily pounced again.Well, now that unlucky child and I were completely hanging on the cliff, lying on the ground with four eyes, grabbing my wrist desperately with both hands, exerting all the force of feeding, seeing that the back of his hand was already bleeding.I looked down at the guy, he seemed to have come to his senses now, looked down at the dark mountain, and then cried to me tearfully: "Don't let go, don't let go, I don't want to die." I was pulled by the collar by him, and my neck was almost broken.I said in my heart that if you are not dead later, I will make you faint first, then this joke will become a big one.Just as I was about to comfort him, I heard a click on the top of my head. I hurriedly looked up. It turned out to be that old fellow Yang Erpi. aim.An ominous premonition rushed into my mind, and before I could yell out, my eyes felt hot, and I was sprayed with blood all over my face.As soon as his neck loosened, the guy who had taken me as a lifeline fell down all of a sudden.Yang Erpi leaned over and pulled me up together with Siyan.All this happened in a blink of an eye, I didn't even have time to call out to be careful, and I saw that guy was shot by Yang Erpi. "Why, you are not convinced?" Yang Erpi flashed his pistol, "If it wasn't for me, you and this little glasses would have been finished." At this time, the person crossing the bend in front of us has also come to his senses. Uncle Atie's voice came from the front: "The shouting behind, who fell?" He didn't know what happened here, and he didn't dare to turn back rashly. Yang Erpi replied to him, "It's okay, my own people stumbled. We'll be right here, Ah Tie, don't worry." Uncle Ah Tie pondered for a while, and the voice sounded again: "Be careful yourself, if you fall here, you won't even find the body." I glanced at the guy behind Yang Erpi, wondering if it was an illusion, why there were only eight people left in his original team of ten people, and the two little brothers who were in charge of the rear of the caravan disappeared.Seeing my expression, Yang Erpi knew that he couldn't hide it. He took a small step forward, squatted down, and whispered to me: "This mountain is not clean, three people have been taken away." I hurriedly asked him what was going on.Yang Erpi glanced at the top of his head and shook his head: "Ghost knows, I was fine just now, but when I turned my head, the two people who followed me at the end had disappeared. Are you wondering if they were fine just a second ago?" Follow behind, and in the blink of an eye, it disappears without even making a sound." This mountain road is long and steep, and it cannot hide people at all.Even if the two of them stumbled and fell off the cliff, they should have at least shouted. How could they disappear for no reason?Seeing that I didn't believe it, Yang Erpi slowed down his tone again: "Why are you coaxing me, have you lost my own people too?" It turned out that Yang Erpi first found out that someone was missing and didn't say anything.He was afraid of delaying the trip, so he didn't shout out.It wasn't until just now that the two queens in the caravan also disappeared, that he panicked.And those guys under him, when they saw that the situation was not right, they were scared out of their wits and ran around, and that's how the scene just happened.At this moment, Yang Erpi found a person out of the cage behind him, each looked flustered, fidgeted, and kept looking around. They wanted to form a group, but because of the narrow mountain road, they had to go their own way.I said that this matter is too weird, and it is definitely not an option to keep it a secret. It is better to notify the people in front as soon as possible and ask them to take precautions.Yang Erpi grabbed me, I thought he was going to stop me from reporting the letter, but he showed a pitiful face and asked me: "Well, this Boss Hu, in your opinion... After Ah Tie knows, will he Will you refuse to go?" I said: "What time is this? You are still worried about the delivery. Open your eyes and see, people have already died!" As soon as these words were uttered, there was a sudden commotion in front of the mountain road, and Xiangling's high-pitched and high-pitched voice yelled, "Xiao Liu is gone!" The few people behind us were shocked when they heard that someone was missing.Yang Erpi could hardly hold the gun in his hand, his face turned sallow and sallow in an instant.I didn't dare to wait, so I greeted my four eyes and immediately walked forward.The road conditions on the other side of the curve are not much better than ours. The mountain road is a little wider by half a foot, which can only allow an adult to stride.As soon as I passed by, I had a face-to-face meeting with a person. Upon closer inspection, it was Chamu who was sweating profusely.His legs were trembling, and when he saw that it was me, he said in a crying voice, "No, it's not good, Xiao Liu is gone, he just disappeared!" Standing behind him were other people in the caravan, and everyone was chattering non-stop.Passing over the head, I saw Uncle Ah Tie lying on the edge of the cliff, and Xiang Ling was beside him talking for some reason.Siyan and Yang Erpi followed me closely. I asked Chamu what happened just now, and he wiped away his tears and said, "I, I don't know either. I walked slowly. I was at the last one, and Xiao Liu was there In front of me, I was still talking, but I lowered my head and tied the straw sandals, and he, he disappeared." When Yang Erpi heard this, he took two steps back. His whole body was shocked, and he asked: "It disappeared out of thin air? Didn't even make a sound?" Chamu looked at me, only shook his head, and didn't answer Yang Erpi's question.At this time, another terrifying shout erupted from the crowd behind Yang Erpi, and I thought something was wrong.Sure enough, within two minutes, another human head poked out from behind, holding the gable with both hands, and shouted to Yang Erpi: "It's not good, the head of the family, another brother has disappeared!"
