I heard that I'm a tomb robber

Chapter 186 Night Road
The condition of the highway extending between the mountains is very good, the road is flat and wide, and there are not many vehicles.

Due to the urgency of the matter, Ning Chi's car was obviously speeding. Anyway, points and fines will be deducted for this trip.

But he didn't dare to drive too fast, after all, there were two policemen sitting on it.

Ning Chi completed the journey that was originally expected to take three and a half hours in less than three hours.

On the road leading to Le Township, something happened.

Mei Qian poked her head out of the car window and sighed at the mess in front of her. Unexpectedly, a large-scale landslide occurred, and the car couldn't get through at all.

After asking, I found out that there was a heavy rainstorm in the local area at noon, and half an hour ago, this place was closed to traffic.

What's more terrible is that from the map, Le Township is located in a special place, there is only one way in and out, and it is impossible to turn around and go around.

There is no way but to wait.

Fortunately, there are a lot of things to buy when renting a car, so you don't have to worry about getting hungry.In the car, one of the two policemen was an undercover agent, and the remaining civilian was a true outlaw, with good psychological quality. Faced with this situation, they were able to chat easily in the car without showing any signs of impatience. Emotions come out.

But what's in my heart, I'm afraid only I know.

Anyway, if she knew how to drive an excavator, Mei Qian would want to help in person.

Although according to the plan, it was already close to evening, even if they arrived in Lexiang, it would be dark and they would not be able to go up the mountain.

But in this situation, it seems that it's not just a day's delay, what should Maomao do?
To make matters worse, Zhang Yu received news from the front.

Because five people disappeared in the mountains all at once, the locals in En County took it very seriously.

Not long after Zhang Yu notified the local police, two professional search and rescue teams entered the mountain with their equipment this morning.

But the torrential rain in the morning came suddenly and even caused mountain torrents. The two teams have now retreated to the village.

But the locals offer a new route.

"It's a mountain road, which was opened up by local residents when they felled wood and picked mountain goods. The tractor can pass, and our off-road vehicle should be fine. However, it has just rained heavily, and the road conditions must be difficult to walk, and it still has a long way to go." Zhang Yu explained to everyone in the car while looking at WeChat.

Mei Qian got out of the car and took a look. According to such a large scale of the collapse, even if the construction machinery is complete and overtime is required, it may not take a few hours to fully open it, but it may take a few days.

After they ate something in the car, they turned around and changed directions.

But people's luck really can't be said.

There is an old saying that there is a leak in the house when it rains all night.

The Master said: People who are unlucky drink cold water and their teeth get stuck.

Anyone who has experienced it knows that it’s okay to be fine. Once something happens, the more anxious you are, the more likely things will go wrong.

This very metaphysical phenomenon is especially obvious when it comes to Mei Qian who worships Buddha.

Zhang Yu's so-called bad road conditions are not an exaggeration at all. Not to mention the muddy mountain road, there are many pits.

The off-road vehicle they rented had good shock absorption, and it didn't feel too bumpy when it wobbled in it.

It's just that the wheels always get stuck in the mud, and people need to get out of the car to push it, not to mention getting covered in mud.

But pushing and pushing, the car unexpectedly went on strike again, which cannot be simply described as unlucky.

Ning Chi and Li Chen lay on the front of the car for a while, but the car didn't recover.I can only shake my head helplessly: "No one can fix it without accessories."

At this time, they had already walked a long way on the mountain road, without going to the village or back to the store, and there was no mobile phone signal, so they definitely couldn't call for help.

In other words, the four of them were trapped in the mountains.

Zhang Yu raised his head, although the moon was very big tonight, he could still see dark clouds.

He couldn't help frowning: "It may still rain, let's hurry up and get out of here and find a place to pitch a tent."

It stands to reason that if the car breaks down in the wild, it is safest to stay in the car overnight at night.

But by coincidence, their off-road vehicle was parked under a hillside with only a few solitary trees.

You don't even need to look carefully to find the traces of being washed around.

This place is obviously not a safe place. The climate in the mountains is always changeable. In case of flash floods or mudslides, there is no place to run in the car.

After a few people discussed, they simply carried a big bag on their backs and continued to move forward along the mountain road.

Driving in the mountains at night is really not a good experience.

Because of the rain just now, the originally bumpy road has become extremely muddy, not to mention the depth of one foot and the shallowness of the foot, and often there is a large lump of mud on the shoes within a few steps, which is extremely uncomfortable.

The air in the mountains is fresh and cold.

Fortunately, when renting a car, Ning Chi and Zhang Yu bought a complete set of things, not only food and camping equipment, but also raincoats for everyone, which is enough to withstand the low temperature in the mountains.

Turn on the bright flashlight, and the road is clearly illuminated. The few people are not tourists, so there is nothing to complain about.

Although they were just looking for a place suitable for camping, they still walked out for more than half an hour before arriving at the edge of a dense forest.

The terrain here is relatively high, and it must be much safer.

But just as everyone unloaded their backpacks and was about to set up a tent, Mei Qian suddenly stopped and let out a little surprise.

"There seems to be a fire ahead."

Zhang Yu froze for a moment, quickly took out the binoculars, and looked in the direction of Mei Qian's finger.

Sure enough, I also found something unusual, but unfortunately the distance is still too far, I can only tell that the shaking should be the fire, and I can't see anything else clearly. "I'm in the mountains at this time, could it be the missing person?" Li Chen asked.

"It's unlikely. Looking at the direction, it shouldn't be far from the mountain road, and it's down the mountain along the road. How about asking for help?" Ning Chi immediately retorted.

"Don't allow people to find their own way out?" Li Chen glared at him.

Mei Qian and Zhang Yu looked at each other, and stuffed things into the backpack again without saying a word.

No matter who is over there, always go and see.

As the saying goes, Wangshan runs to death.

Tonight's situation is that watching the fire is exhausting.

If you meet people in the mountains in the middle of the night, if the villagers or tourists are okay, if the other party is a poacher or a tomb robber, it will be more dangerous.

Just in case, none of the four turned on their flashlights and proceeded by moonlight.

So, the road seems very long.

The flames became more obvious, but the rest remained unchanged.

There is still white mud ahead, and the distance is still hidden in thick darkness.

The scenery on both sides is the unchanging dense forest and weeds, and even the birdsong heard is sharp and sad, as if they have been with them all the time.

"What's that screaming? It's weird." Li Chen seldom came out into the wild. When he walked, he couldn't help but look at the woods on both sides and behind him, as if he was afraid that something would rush out suddenly. "That's an owl." Zhang Yu glared at his apprentice.

Ning Chi smiled and said, "You can't turn back suddenly when walking at night. Maybe it's because the fire on your shoulder has gone out and something is staring at you."

"Get out!" Li Chen cursed and kicked.What to say after being avoided by the other party, but Zhang Yu held his shoulders: "Shut up, we are here."

It turned out that before they knew it, they were already close to the light source.

Several people looked at each other tacitly, and walked towards the direction of the fire lightly.When they approached slowly, Zhang Yu and others could see clearly that the fire was shining from a small wooden house lacking doors and windows.

The wooden house is dilapidated, so you can clearly see the firepit in the middle and the situation inside.

At this time, there were two people in camouflage uniforms sitting cross-legged by the fire, talking in a low voice, and there was a burst of laughter from time to time.

Mei Qian had good eyesight, and could see the red armbands on the two's arms at a glance. While he was relieved, he felt a little disappointed at the same time.

Rest assured, the opponents are two forest rangers, both around 40 years old, and they don't look like they are pretending.

Disappointment is because the other party is not Mao Mao and others.He thought for a while, and planned to show up to ask, but before he could move, he didn't know whether it was Zhang Yu or Li Chen, and suddenly stepped on a branch.

The crisp sound was very obvious at night, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the people in the wooden house.

"Who?" Along with the shout, there were two sounds of pulling the bolt...
-
"So, you are here to find someone?"

I have to say that sometimes it is really convenient to do things with the police by my side.

At least, the two alarmed rangers in front of them lowered their guns after seeing the IDs of Zhang Yu and Li Chen and questioning them in detail.

While the other party was observing the four people, Mei Qian and Zhang Yu were actually observing the two forest rangers. They deliberately glanced at the bamboo basket beside the firepit, and saw that there were only some wild vegetables and mushrooms in it, so they let down their guard a little. .

"When did it happen? Why didn't we hear any news when we went up the mountain yesterday?" One of the bearded uncles asked again.

"It's the one who disappeared last night, and reported it this morning." Zhang Yu thought for a while, took out his phone, and opened the screenshot, which was his Weiwei screenshot, with a simple map on it, and he pointed to the avatar on it : "Liu Kai, the director of Lexiang Police Station, do you know him? This is his Wei Wei."

"Hey, Xiaokai. I know him. He's my cousin." Another thin middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he put the rifle away again.

The atmosphere in the cabin suddenly relaxed.

Seeing this, Mei Qian also took out her mobile phone, took out Mao Mao's photo and handed it over: "Have you two met this person?"

"Huh? Isn't this the little girl who bought mushrooms yesterday?" The bearded man said in shock, "Is she missing?"

"Have you seen it?" Mei Qian's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Do you know where they went?"

"I didn't pay attention at the time." The bearded man shook his head.

But before Mei Qian was disappointed, the skinny middle-aged man suddenly raised his hand: "Wait, let me think about it, it seems that I heard them say they were going to see the hanging coffin. At that time, I was still surprised that they were not going in the direction of the river..." Speaking of this, he slapped his thigh suddenly: "It's over, a group of young people may have entered Shirengou if they didn't listen to persuasion, and something big happened this time..."

　The water chapter is to make up for yesterday, and there will be more in the evening.
