Mystery Leaks

Chapter 42 Two Nights in the Jungle
In fact, Huang Mao and I are also in a hurry, but we really don’t have the conditions to track at night, we have to wait until dawn tomorrow; the situation in the mountains is too complicated, let alone chasing people if you accidentally fall, and you don’t know where you are hurt. more trouble.

Huang Mao found a relatively secluded big tree, lit a fire, and we prepared to spend the night.

The forest is very lively, with the sounds of birds and insects, the most penetrating is the crow's cry, which makes people feel hair-raising.

But I feel that such excitement is good, at most wild beasts will come out, but if there is complete silence, then it is not wild beasts that come out, but ghosts.

This is the biggest experience I have experienced since I have experienced so many things.Fish, insects and beasts have a much stronger perception of danger than humans.

After chasing for two or three hours, our physical strength was exhausted. After eating a little dry food, Cao Nan still couldn't let go, so he asked Huang Mao whether it was a human being or a ghost.

"Shh!"

Unexpectedly, Huang Mao's face changed drastically when he heard it, and he said: "Don't talk about killing at noon, don't talk about ghosts at night, you can't talk about this thing at night, taboo."

Cao Nan flinched in fright, and hastily covered her mouth and stopped talking.I wanted to ask, but I swallowed it back.

In this way, we didn't have much to talk about, and we were all nervous. Later, Huang Mao said that we would take turns sleeping at night, two of us, and one of us was in charge of the night watch.

Cao Nan and I naturally agreed that staring until dawn is definitely not an option, and if it doesn’t work out tomorrow, we’ll have to catch up with it for another day, so Huang Mao arranged for me to guard first, then him, and finally Cao Nan.He arranged for himself to watch at the two hours of midnight when the cloudiest energy was at its peak.

I guarded first with a flashlight, and the two of them slept first.

Cao Nan tossed and tossed in anxiety, obviously unable to fall asleep, but Huang Mao snored as soon as he touched the ground.

What reassures me a little is that the forest has always been very lively, with birds flying overhead from time to time, and it is safe and sound until the shift at eleven o'clock.

I woke up Huangmao to change shifts, then lay down to sleep, and Cao Nan fell asleep at the moment.

After a busy day and running for several hours, I was really tired, and it was dawn as soon as I woke up, without turning over in the middle.

Nothing happened overnight, not to mention I was surprised, even Huang Mao and Cao Nan were surprised.

After eating something casually in the morning, Huangmao led us to continue to follow the traces, but his tracking speed slowed down, saying that the traces were disturbed by beasts and the like, and some of them were unclear.

The good news is that the direction has not been lost, and some obvious clues can be found from time to time, especially in relatively humid places.

This pursuit is a whole day!
What makes me feel worse and worse is that our direction of progress is clearly Jinpenling!
I immediately had an intuition that the existence that kidnapped Cao Nan's father was probably trying to lure me into Jinpenling.

Here I have to talk about Jinpenling in detail.

The so-called South of the Five Ridges refers to the south of the Five Ridges, which run east-west across Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong, and are the watershed between the Jiangnan region and the Pearl River Basin.

And Jinpenling is located at the junction of Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong. Although it is not as good as Wuling, it is also a large mountain range across the three provinces; Jinpenshan is the main peak of Jinpenling.

Looking from a distance, Jinpen Mountain looks like an upside-down washbasin. In the sunset, the whole mountain range is golden, just like a golden basin; hence its name.

Before liberation, there were many bandits here, because Jinpenling is a small and rich plain in the south of Jiangxi to the north, and the Pearl River Plain to the south, and the commercial roads from south to north pass here. It is really convenient to rob. In case of officers and soldiers attacking, You can also go east and hide in the mountains of southern Fujian.

This has also caused the bandits in Jinpenling to be very strong and tenacious. It is said that when the Japanese invaded, they went up the mountain to suppress them. As a result, those who were not familiar with the terrain were beaten and abandoned.

It was not until 60s after the founding of the People's Republic of China that it was wiped out by the People's Liberation Army.

It is said that Feng Qiantou and He Laoyao had been in the bandit den back then, and the Feng family was not only Feng Qiantou, but the same den; their banditry seems to have been passed down from when.

Although the route Huangmao followed was not straight, it kept heading towards Jinpen Mountain. When it was getting dark, it was almost at the foot of the mountain.

This place is completely out of the north field, and the road is almost impossible to find due to the dense forest.

All three of us were exhausted, so we had to sleep in the open again; the tracking time was far longer than the three of us expected.

At night, I still take turns to watch the night, and the insects still hum in the first half of the night. After I finish the watch, I change my yellow hair.

……

I didn't know how long I slept in a daze, and vaguely heard someone calling me.

I woke up with a jerk, sat up and looked, and was surprised, Huang Mao and Cao Nan were gone!
The side was empty, even the guns were taken away!

I broke out in a cold sweat, why did the person disappear?Will it be an accident?
I immediately got up and held the blunderbuss in my hand, and shouted twice, but no one answered me.

Damn, something happened!
I feel cold in my heart, if there is no accident, they can't leave me alone; the only problem is that the forest is still buzzing with insects, and it is very lively.

I don't know what to do anymore.

at this time.

"Leizi, this way!"

Suddenly there was a shout in the distance, it was Cao Nan's voice.I hastily flashed it with my flashlight and found Cao Nan waving at me from a distance, beckoning me to come over.

"Depend on!"

I cursed secretly and hurriedly ran over there, thinking what kind of plane they were doing, and they didn't call me when they got up.

It's scary in the middle of the night,
After running for a while, I found that Cao Nan was also running forward, as if he was chasing Huang Mao, and kept urging me to keep up. After running for a long time, he narrowed the distance a little.

From afar, I could only see Cao Nan's back, and the flashlight in his hand, looming.

I was very surprised, Cao Nan was chasing Huang Mao, what was Huang Mao chasing?Could it be possible to find clues about Cao Nan's father?
Thinking of this, I speeded up and chased and got closer, and I could see Cao Nan's back clearly, but he didn't wait for my intention, and turned his head to greet me from time to time.

The road in Linzilin is very difficult. Although the foothills are a relatively flat road, there are too many bushes and thorns; some places have to be hacked with a hatchet to open the road.

After running for a while, I was so tired that I couldn't breathe. I propped my knees to calm down, and I had to lie down after running again.

But when I raised my head again, I shuddered suddenly, and Cao Nan disappeared in front of me.

"I'll go!" I was taken aback, shouted to Cao Nan, and chased in the original direction.

As a result, I didn't see him again after walking for a long time, I panicked, the distance has been shortened a lot just now, why did he disappear all of a sudden?
His speed shouldn't be so fast, he won't fall into the ditch, right?

I hurriedly called him loudly, but there was no response from the beginning to the end. The forest was dark, with a moon hanging in the sky, but very little light could penetrate.

I don't know what to do, I lost my direction in the vast expanse of fields, maybe I chased in the wrong direction since I couldn't see Cao Nan.Otherwise, how could you lose sight of people all at once?
Just as he was turning around in a hurry, he suddenly felt a light flash in the corner of his eyes, and it disappeared in a flash.

It's not like a flashlight, it's like fire!
I immediately picked up the gun and leaned over there. If there is fire, it means there is someone.

It's just strange that the fire seems to be walking too. Although I have walked a long way, I feel that the distance is not getting closer.

After walking for half an hour inexplicably like this, the fire finally became a little brighter.

I was secretly happy, and thought that someone was walking with a torch, and that's why I couldn't get close.

I followed the flames for a while, and when I turned around a towering tree, I was shocked, and a temple appeared in front of me.

Inside the temple, several bright oil lamps were burning quietly, and the firelight came from there.

I was stunned, Jinpen Mountain is a semi-primitive forest area, and there are no people, so where is the temple?
Could it be... that he has already crossed Jinpen Ridge?Ran to the next village?

I was a little nervous. There was something wrong with this temple. I had never heard of such a big temple in the next town. Although there was only one temple, it was surprisingly tall. Words, but too far away to see clearly.

I cautiously stopped at the spot and observed, and found nothing abnormal, the insects were still singing, and I couldn't feel any wind.

So, I bravely touched the past.
