Chapter 320 Trapped in the mountains
320 Chapter 3 Trapped in the Mountains
No one spoke that night, and everyone rested quietly. I lay in my brother's arms and thought about the things that had happened these days. It seemed that until now, everything was still expected and under control. , but if they want to explore deeper underwater, it means they are one step closer to the dangerous place, and I started to feel a little uneasy again.

Until the next morning, I was still in a daze. I didn't sleep well all night. When I woke up, my head was a little swollen and aching. I pillowed my brother's arm and covered my face with my two little hands. His mouth was slightly open and he was stunned.

When the little brother woke up, he saw me like this. He turned his head slightly, reached out to hold my slender wrist, took my little hand and pressed it on his chest. I followed his movements and buried myself in his arms. middle.

The little brother asked softly: "Didn't you sleep well?"

I whispered "Yes" softly and rubbed my head against his chest. The little brother held my head with one hand and rubbed my back with the other. In fact, he was not without any disturbance in his heart. He was also a little uneasy. He always He felt that there was something in this land that made him feel very uneasy.

After a while, everyone got up, and we followed the plan we agreed on the day before. Wu Xie and Agui went to buy things. They waved goodbye to us and left Yangjiao Mountain and walked onto the mountain road.

When they left, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it seemed like it was going to rain heavily. Before the rain, the air was a bit stuffy, and my mood was also stuffy. I stood by the lake and sighed as I looked at the lake.

The fat man said to us: "Hey guys, look at the day, it's going to rain a lot. Let's go search again before it rains and it gets out of hand."

The little brother nodded. Seeing that I was in a low mood and depressed, he walked up to me and touched my slightly drooped head. I felt like he was asking me "what's wrong".

I looked at him, and he grabbed my exposed waist and hugged me in front of him. In an instant, our bodies collided with each other. My two small hands gently held his chest, and our skin We were so close to each other, and the way he held me, my heart skipped a beat, and I was completely stunned.

He said to me softly: "Don't go down until you've had a good rest. You can watch the raft from above."

The little brother looked down at the little girl wearing a swimsuit in his arms. As he looked at it, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. His eyes averted slightly, but he couldn't help but turned his head back to the girl. His breathing became short for a moment. Boy, he had never felt this nervous before. He unconsciously stretched out a hand to hold the girl's little face, looking at the blushing girl intently, swallowing involuntarily, and caressing her pink tenderness with his thumb. With her cherry-like red lips, she suddenly had an impulse, and her face unconsciously moved closer and closer to hers, and her head tilted slightly, feeling that she wanted to gently...

At this moment, the fat man shouted: "Hey, little brother, come on." The fat man turned his head and looked at the two of us, and immediately said "Oops" and thought to himself, "Oh my God, it's broken, I did the wrong thing... Hurry up and cough" He cleared his throat and said: "Uh...well, it's going to rain. Let's hurry up." Then he smiled with a guilty "hehehe".

Li Yue on the side pursed her lips, with a slightly weird smile on her face. In fact, she was already smiling in her heart.

The little brother raised his head slightly and kissed me deeply on the forehead. Then he turned his head and glared at the fat man coldly. The fat man turned his head and looked at the raft as if nothing had happened and said to Liyue: "Miss Liyue, let's go down first."

The little brother said to me softly: "Let's go there."

After that, the little brother, Fatty and Liyue went down to continue searching and salvaging, and I sat on the raft on the water and waited for them.

When Wu Xie walked to the mountainside and looked at the lake again, looking at the dark clouds he had seen before, he suddenly had a strange premonition that something was about to happen.

I stared at the water waiting for them, because I had gone down several times before and the route was already clear. After a while, I picked up a lot of rotten, rusty, and strange things underwater.

After they went down a few times, the rain began to fall. The little brother looked at the sky, and the fat man looked at the sky and said, "Brother, let them go up first. Let's go down again. Just now That's it when you see that thing, we have to confirm it, otherwise it will cause trouble."

I asked, "What? Something important?"

The little brother said: "Bones."

I said "ah": "I found the bones..."

Li Yue said to them: "You go back quickly. The rain is getting heavy soon. I will take her ashore first."

The fat man nodded and said, "Okay." Then he said to the little brother, "Let's go."

Following them, they immediately went into the water again. Li Yue and I took a raft and things to the shore first. When we got to the shore, we pulled the raft up together, and the rain gradually became heavier.

Wu Xie and Agui returned to Banai first. Wu Xie also had a good meal, and then went to a nearby county without stopping. He first bought some things for swimming and asked Agui to take them back, and then he Get on the minibus and drive out of Shiwandashan.

The ride was bumpy, he was very anxious, and he felt very tortured. In the car, he also saw Panma's distant relative who spoke with a Beijing accent. He could tell that the man had something serious on his mind. He didn't say anything the whole way and was just thinking about things. .No one recognized Wu Xie.

After returning to Fangchenggang, Wu Xie booked a hotel and started running it.He was already well aware of the tricks and difficulties in purchasing things, so he prepared to do it in a very orderly manner. He first called Pan Zi, who was familiar with the industry and the most efficient, and asked him to transport some equipment, and then asked Wang Meng to fly over immediately to help. He needs to be alone.

Pan Zi was a little worried when he heard that he wanted equipment. Wu Xie had to lie to him and say that someone else had asked him to do it. Pan Zi agreed and said to him: "That's okay."

Five days later, everything Wu Xie wanted and Wang Meng arrived. Wu Xie rented a car at Fangchenggang and transported the things directly to Banai.The winding mountain road was extremely steep, and he could only drive a car with a C driver's license, but this time he forced himself to drive a large car. The journey was extremely thrilling, and he almost rushed off the cliff several times. Wang Meng was so frightened that he kept chanting: "Boss, let's What on earth are you here for? With the way you are driving, before the car even arrives, we might..." Wu Xie cursed nervously and impatiently: "You damn young master is gibbering, I'm already very careful. ”

Wang Meng's eyes widened and he said: "Both sides of the front of the car have been hit and deformed, boss! Slow down, please slow down."

Wu Xie said: "Don't yell. We'll be there in a minute. Just don't disturb me. I need to concentrate." During this drive, Wu Xie was frightened. He kept driving close to the cliff on one side. , just for fear that something might happen to his hand, but he was actually very careful. When Wang Meng got out of the car, his legs were weak.

The roads in Banai are all gravel roads for poverty alleviation. It was impossible to drive on the last section. It rained heavily, so I had to get down and change cars.The equipment of the cart was loaded with three tractors before it was pulled into the village.So far, everything has been going well, but two weeks have passed since Wu Xie left and set foot in Banai's village again.

We originally made an appointment with Agui to meet him at the entrance of the village and transport the things to his house first, but when we unloaded the goods at the entrance of the village, he was nowhere to be seen.

Wu Xie was exhausted at the time and couldn't help but feel a little angry. He asked Wang Meng to look at things at the entrance of the village and went to Agui's house to find him.

Back at Agui's house, Wu Xie saw that the door of the building where we lived was used as a guest room and for dining was closed. He knocked for a long time but there was no response, so he had to go to the door of the wooden building where Agui lived. It is open, the people here are simple and the door is not locked.

Once inside, this is where Yuncai and the others live. The lobby is similar to ours. The kitchen is not here, so it looks much cleaner. In the corner are some colorful frames woven by them, which should be sold to tourists.There are some New Year pictures on the wall nearby, and the rooms inside are all curtained. The back room is the boudoir of the two sisters, Agui sleeps in the side room, and there is a wooden ladder leading to the second floor.

Wu Xie yelled a few times. After cautiously entering, he found that no one was there, so he yelled twice more at the building. There was still no one, and it seemed like no one was at home.

Wu Xie was a little angry and thought to himself, what's going on with this damn Agui? He made an appointment to wait for me, but why can't he be found?Did he go into the mountains?That would be fatal. I recognize him here, and I don’t know when it will be until he comes back.

At that time, my blood was rising, and I didn't believe in evil. I was afraid that he might not hear me while he was working up there, so I quickly went upstairs, opened my throat and continued to scream.

There was something like a bamboo door between the first and second floors, which was pressed against the floor. Wu Xie pushed it open and climbed up.

There is a walkway above, and the end of the walkway leads to a wooden balcony on one side. The bamboo board wall is a bit old, and it looks like it was stolen from an abandoned old wooden building.There was a room on each side. One side was filled with piles of things. It was full of braided frames and animal skins stretched to dry. The door on the other side was closed. He knocked for a long time but still got no response. Only then did he believe that the person was really not there. .

Wu Xie took a few breaths to calm down, and suddenly thought that behind this door was the room where Agui said his son lived.

So he was suddenly very curious. His son was only talked about in his mouth, but he had never seen him for so long.

If it’s because of some disability that I don’t see many people, why are there no people here today?
Wu Xie quietly looked in through the crack in the door and found that it was very dark inside. He could only see a lot of things hanging on the wall, but he couldn't see clearly what they were. They seemed to be pieces of paper, but there was really no one there. Moreover, I didn't see any daily utensils. It could be said that it was completely empty. It didn't look like a room occupied by anyone at all. I suddenly felt strange.

Following him, he wanted to push the door open and take a closer look, but the door didn't move at all, as if there was some latch inside.

Wu Xie hurriedly sent the things over. He had no time to think about it, so he had to put away his curiosity and went downstairs to ask his neighbor.

But the neighbor said to him: "Agui, you haven't been here for a long time. It seems that you haven't come out since the mountain two weeks ago. But we are not sure, because Agui often has to go out to pick up guests. His little My daughter went to her grandfather's house in a neighboring village because of the heavy rain. If you want to find them, you should wait with his house."

Wu Xie hurriedly said: "Thank you." But he cursed in his heart, damn, he didn't remember that I told him that he had to come out to pick him up, but it was me who left here two weeks ago. At that time, he went into the mountain again and never came out. Why?

Wu Xie had no choice but to pay for it himself and call a few villagers for help. He moved the equipment to Agui first and let Wang Meng look at it first.Then I wanted to find a guide to go into the mountain with the help of the neighbor. I would go into the mountain with some equipment that I could. After arriving, Agui would come out and find someone to transport the equipment.

After asking, he immediately knew why Agui didn't come to pick him up.

The neighbor said: "You said two weeks ago, it rained for several days in succession. The rain was quite heavy. The mountains are now full of mudslides and mud. Not to mention hiking, I am carrying more than ten people with me." If a person pulls a mule into the mountains, the whole army will be wiped out in a matter of seconds. You said your friend and Agui are in the mountains, I guess they are probably trapped in the mountains."

Wu Xie was at a loss and said: "Then... what should we do?"

The neighbor said to him: "You don't have to worry too much. Agui knows how to deal with it. As long as they stay by the lake, they will be caught in the rain for a while and there will be no big danger. But if you want to go into the mountains again, it will be the worst." We have to wait at least a week, maybe even longer if the rain doesn't stop. No hunter is willing to help in this kind of weather. It's not a matter of money."

When Wu Xie heard that he still had to wait a week, he suddenly thought, no, if Agui never comes back, it means that they have been without supplies for two weeks, and the food has probably been exhausted. Even if Agui can hunt, , there is still a problem whether there are prey under such heavy rain. Even if they can hold on, they can't wait for another week.

So Wu Xie offered three times the high price in order to find someone who wanted money but not his life. In the end, the neighbor was annoyed by his questions and shook his head: "You can either wait patiently, or in this weather, the only people who dare to go into the mountains are There's only one person left, that's Father Panma, why don't you go and beg him to see it."
