Mission traceability

It was very difficult for me to communicate with the leader. His Chinese was really bad, he could only speak some simple words, and he used body language to express more.Yes, Gesang could serve as an interpreter, but it was clear neither of us trusted him.So at the moment he is tied to a tree with a sad face.

After more than half an hour of communication, I have a general understanding.

This group of Tuva people is different from the Tuva people we understand. When Genghis Khan marched west, he passed by Kanas Lake for a period of time for renovation. Seeing that the forage is abundant and the water source is abundant here, some of the wounded soldiers left behind. Cultivate here.When they came back from the western expedition, they stayed here for a while, carved many totems we saw before, buried them around Kanas Lake, and many of them still stand in the desert.

When they left, they left behind a group of able-bodied and skilled people to protect the totems buried by the lake from being discovered.These people call themselves guardians, and from then on, they swore to protect Kanas from generation to generation.

It's just that their identities are relatively hidden, so they live mixed in the current Tuva tribe and only gather together when needed.It is true that the current Tuva people are descendants of Genghis Khan, but only guardians like them are descendants of pure blood.Other people intermarried with immigrants from the south, now called Tuvali Republic, so they are called Tuvans, and over time, they have diluted the Mongolian blood.And those who value blood have less and less room to choose a spouse, resulting in fewer and fewer guardians. Now there are only the twelve people in front of me.

During hundreds of years of protection history, they were surprised to find that along with this totem, there was a terrible curse buried around Kanas Lake. Anyone who saw or touched that totem would be haunted by evil spirits. In the end, he couldn't stand the torment of fear and ended his life early.

These guardians always follow the will of their ancestors and never try to see these ancient totems.But occasionally people passing by the lake will see one or two, and then get sick. At this time, they are the ones who come to do some aftermath work.The so-called two hunters who were eaten by the lake were actually taken away by them and hid because they also saw the totem.And the old man was washed away by them, and instilled some rumors about the lake monster, trying to warn outsiders to stay away from this place, which is dangerous.As everyone knows, people nowadays have long gone beyond what they can understand.The more dangerous the place is, the more people have to come and see it. As a result, there are more and more rumors about the lake monster, and its influence is getting bigger and bigger, and it has finally become a tourist attraction today.

For these, these guardians are also a headache, because of the reduction in the number of people, it is difficult for them to make a difference.However, they still carry out regular inspections meticulously, taking care of and rescuing those who are haunted by evil spirits. They cannot let these people go out, otherwise once the news gets out, government and private explorers will flock to dig the totems by the lake , In this way, their mission of guarding will end, and they will have no face to meet their ancestors under Jiuquan.

They have no way to heal people who are haunted by evil spirits, they can only hide them in inaccessible places and let them wait for death.After witnessing too many deaths, they were also tormenting their own souls, until one day, they found a person digging the totem quietly, and this person did not go crazy like others after seeing the totem, nor did any abnormal conditions appear .This has greatly attracted their attention. If this person is all right, then they can rescue more Tuva people, and they don't have to act cautiously every time.

This person has been digging here for two years, and he is a very careful person. He always moves in the dead of night, and seems to know their existence. Every time he moves with a totem, so that they can't come forward to stop them. or ask.In this way, day after day, until now, he finally had a chance to leave the stone, so they attacked decisively and attracted two mink bears to drive us out of the visible range of the previous totem, and then appeared, trying to arrest us Ask why.

After understanding this, I immediately understood why Gesang didn't let Xiao Ai run away. It turned out that after he ran out, he would not have a totem to protect him, so he would rather die than fight with Wolverine.Or let us feed the mink bear and let him run away, which is pretty, but also vicious enough.

The leader apologized for the harm caused to Xiao Ai before, because they had to get this person to lift the curse of evil spirits. Although this violated the legacy of their ancestors, their generation was originally the guardian. The end, so before the end of the mission, we must work harder for the clansmen.None of these people were married yet, and there were no more Tuva girls of pure blood in the clan.

Gesang was the one who took away the totem while we were sleeping and put it behind us while we were watching the big fish. He thought we would become crazy, but he miscalculated.This is something the guardians don't understand very much, because for so many years, only three people have nothing to do after seeing this totem, and today all three of them happen to be there, so they don't care about the ancient curse and want to come out to find out.

While talking, several people who went to chase Xiao Ai came back, obviously empty-handed.

The leader exchanged a few words with them, and then explained to me: "Your friend is a very smart person. She knows how to avoid the curse of the totem. This person is the same, but only you don't understand. Her escape route is very It's weird, my people can't track it down."

In fact, it was all a misunderstanding. I shook the leader's hand with some regret, and said to myself, if you had made it clear earlier, I would not have bothered to bother, and Xiao Ai hated me to death.

"Ask me to interrogate this man." I pointed at Gesang, it was all his fault, I will definitely not let him go.

The leader made a gesture of asking for permission. It seems that the influence of external civilization on the ancient culture is still very destructive.

"What can you say?" I asked Gesang.

"There is nothing to say, you are all dead, only I can live." Gesang said disdainfully.

"We won't die, you forgot, Xiao Ai knows how to break the curse, we will kill you and continue to live."

Gesang hesitated for a moment, but said calmly, "Kill if you want, that woman can't save you."

To be honest, I'm still afraid of this rascal.If a person doesn't even care about his own life, how can he care about other people's lives?

I carefully recalled everything the leader said, no, this Gesang will not not value his own life, on the contrary, he attaches great importance to his own life.Otherwise, what kind of perseverance is it to not leave the stone for two years? Ordinary people can't do it, and even if the wolverine comes, he doesn't want to get out of the protective circle of the totem.He must be living with a purpose. Obviously, the purpose has not been achieved, and it is related to the totem.

Thinking of this, I continued to ask Gesang: "Are you going to let the lake monster out?"

Immediately, Gesang stood there in a daze, and the leader was also clever, looking at Gesang coldly.

"What lake monster?" Gesang said with a smile, it was obvious that he was no longer as calm as before.

"Xiao Ai said that these totems are not just totems, but a kind of beast-suppressing stone. Moreover, the rumors of the Kanas Lake monster have only appeared in 40 to 40 years, which means that you have been digging for totems since [-] to [-] years ago. .Although I don't know your intentions, I know that you are not alone, and the people behind you don't care about your life or death." I boldly guessed all this, if I am wrong, then I can only torture.

Gesang became silent and didn't say a word. It was clear that he was thinking desperately.

The leader walked up to me at some point and asked me, "How do you know?"

I pulled him aside and spoke quietly: "I'm just guessing, but judging by his reaction, at least half of my guesses are correct. This is a common technique used by our people, called bluffing."

The leader nodded half-understanding, and beckoned the other guardians over, as if he wanted to understand what I meant by bluffing.

Seeing that the guards had left, Gesang tried his best to hold on, breaking the ropes on his body. Unexpectedly, he still had such strength.

I always thought that Gesang was just a small character with no great skills, otherwise he wouldn't have to rely on totems for self-defense all day long, and just now he was knocked out by me and held hostage for a long time.It seems that my scheming is not enough after all, he is the old Jianghu.

Gesang easily stood up, smiled at me and said, "Do you want to know how I can remove such a big rock without making any noise?"

"I'm not interested in this, it seems that I still underestimate you, you've hidden deep enough." I hinted at the leader to go up and surround him.

"It's because I underestimated you. You are so stupid and clumsy. I didn't expect you to have a good brain. Maybe you guessed part of it right, but you will never understand the truth. I have to go." Gesang resumed before calm.

"You can't leave." I also said lightly, the Tuva people had formed an encirclement circle, and it was not easy for Gesang to leave.

Gesang didn't seem to care much about the people surrounding him, but stared at me and said, "Ye Fei, I have a hunch that we will meet again soon." After speaking, he quickly climbed up the tree behind him , and then prepared in a toad pose.

The leader and other Tuwan people were stunned, I even said that I could be taken aback, he knew my name!His climbing speed is surprisingly fast, monkeys are not so fast, just like the qinggong shown on TV.

Gesang took off in this strange posture, jumped to another tree, then grabbed a thicker branch with his hands and swung, swung back and forth twice, and then jumped to a tree farther away, just like that, for a while The kung fu disappeared.From my naked eyes, this set of movements is smooth, beautiful, and practical. This place seems to be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

I said to the leader: "It seems that we have no way to catch him, take me back first, I will find my friends to help you, didn't you just say that Xiao Ai also knows how to break the curse."

The leader refused to look away for a long time, as if he had considered it carefully, and then turned his head slowly.

I seem to feel that the atmosphere is a bit lacking.

Only to hear the leader shout: "Kunawa!"

Then I thought about it for a while, damn it, a dozen knives were put on my neck.

"What's going on!" I asked the leader.

He said coldly: "He is not important anymore, I have found a way to lift the curse."
