Secret 1

Chapter 24 Mountain Cemetery (3)
The wheels could no longer roll forward, Tong Jianguo and the others jumped out of the car, and looked around with the awning in their hands.There are sparse houses on the north and south sides, but in front of it is a piece of barren grass, which grows wildly like a green gauze curtain.Behind it is a lush forest, covering the entire mountain along the slope.Some strange boulders rise from the flat ground, just like the protruding peaks in Guilin, Yangshuo and other places. This scene surprised everyone.

"I don't know how big this mountain is? Maybe we can find the way by climbing over the mountain!"

Yang Mou said while filming with the DV in hand.

"You're wrong!" Qian Mozheng's expression was extremely stern, "Outside the mountain, there is still a mountain."

This line from Wong Kar Wai's movie hit everyone's emotions again. Fortunately, Yuling walked up to Yang Mou and said, "Don't be afraid, I will take everyone forward! I grew up in the mountains, and such mountains are hard to fall I."

She pushed up the hem of the tube skirt a little, and in Yang Mou's DV camera, she is the back view of a typical Dai woman, with her slender waist and tall figure, haunting this wilderness like a myth.

Tong Jianguo also nodded in admiration: "This girl is really good!"

The four men followed her and walked into the unknown forest together.A dense canopy of trees covered them, and the sky beneath the clouds became a darker jungle world.All kinds of birds chirped all around, vines hung down from the big trees, and the roots were covered with nets, everyone raised their hearts.

Cheng Jian walked at the back, the most fearful of the five, his feet trembling every step he took - he was also the richest in the tour group, so he naturally cherished every hair of his body.He was even more worried that the origins of these group members were unknown. What if he, a multi-millionaire, was kidnapped?What's even more frightening is that his wife and daughter are also here, and they may become hostages at any time. Who will rescue them then?

But he still decided to go out with the others to explore. The fundamental reason was that he wanted to stay away from his wife. He could no longer bear Huang Wanran's eyes. That kind of indifference and disdain was an insult.There is also the 15-year-old daughter Qiuqiu. It seems that as long as her father is around, she becomes weird and irritable, and she always wants to run away.Just get out of my daughter's sight, maybe it will make her a little more peaceful.

Yuling found a path in the jungle. Although it was just some footprints that had been noticed by others, it could be connected into a passage.This path must have been traveled frequently in the past, but it was later covered by fallen leaves and weeds.She knows where there may be danger, which tree roots may have poisonous snakes, and which poisonous fruits cannot be touched.Especially in some places where there may be traps and traps, at least in the village where she grew up, hunters have always used these tricks, and they can often catch monkeys and small black bears.

Unknowingly, the terrain was getting higher and higher. Although he didn't know how far the top of the mountain was, Tong Jianguo climbed onto a big rock, looked back through the gaps in the leaves, and looked at Nanming City below the mountain.Several high-rise buildings were left behind, and most of the city became blurred and small.

Qian Mozheng's sports watch can measure the altitude, and it is now 90 meters above sea level—it seems that this is an alpine basin, and the surrounding peaks are at least 500 meters above sea level.

They followed Yu Ling through the mountains and forests, and suddenly some rhythmic sounds sounded in their ears, like the noise of many people gathering together - everyone's expressions brightened, hoping it was the search and rescue team of the Thai police.

The five speeded up their pace and ran forward, but the sound didn't sound like a human being, nor was it the sound of an animal, but—the sound of water.

Finally, Yuling was the first to see through the woods,
It turned out to be a waterfall!

This surprise made her cheer, as if ancient humans discovered an oasis, and everyone else gathered to enjoy the wonder of the waterfall in the mountains.

But Cheng Cheng saw something was wrong, he took a few steps forward and said, "No! This is not a waterfall!"

"what is that?"

"It's the outlet of the reservoir dam."

Now he was at the forefront, climbing the roots and down several slopes, and a deep valley appeared in front of him.The waterfall poured down from the right, forming a mist at the bottom of the valley and making a huge impact.The surrounding area is full of mist, and the feeling of humidity hits the face.

At the top of the waterfall, there is a concrete dam.

Establishment is right, this is not a natural waterfall, but a man-made dam spillway.

Although the dam is built very high, its width is only about 20 meters.The flood outlet is opened close to the top of the dam, and the flow of water released is not very large. It is completely different from the usual flood discharge. It is just a narrow white line falling vertically, which looks exactly like a small mountain waterfall. .

Climbing to the edge of the cliff quickly, the valley below is at least 30 meters deep, which is equivalent to the height of a dozen-storey building. With the impact of the "waterfall", it makes people dizzy and frightened.

"Be careful, everyone, follow me!"

Yuling found another path, grabbed the roots and vines, and climbed up to the top of the dam.Everyone was exhausted and out of breath, so they had to admire this slender Thai girl.She rolled her tube skirt into shorts, climbed the mountain road with extraordinary flexibility, and was the first to touch the edge of the dam.

A few minutes later, all five climbed up the dam, all sweating profusely.But the top of the dam is another scene. The cool wind blowing from the mountain made Yang Mou and Yu Ling laugh at each other. Only in this way can they feel a sense of accomplishment.

However, at both ends of the dam, which is less than 20 meters wide, there are two completely different worlds: one side is a "waterfall" and a deep valley, and the other side is a large calm lake.

"Reservoir!"

Establishing another cry of admiration, he walked to the inner side of the dam, and there was another steep slope, and two meters below was a lake as clear as a mirror.

Others were also stunned, witnessing the miracle of the combination of nature and manpower.The area of ​​the reservoir is not large, and it is narrow and long like the mountains on both sides, and finally disappears into the winding canyon.Surrounded by dense forests, the reflection in the water presents a dark green color. There is only a small exit like the dam, which looks like a closed gourd from the air.

"What is this reservoir for?"

Established carefully observed and replied: "The reservoir has many functions, I guess it is used for urban water supply."

"Waterworks?"

Yang Mou kept taking pictures with his DV, and Qian Mozheng also took out his precious camera.

At this time, Jiancheng noticed that there were several two-story houses at the other end of the dam.The five people ran over immediately. At least there was a flat land at the end of the dam. Apart from these houses, there was also a mountain road.

"My God!" Yang Mou complained loudly, "We don't need to climb up here, we can drive up here!"

Tong Jianguo smiled wryly: "Forget it, how can you find this place if you don't climb up? It's Yuling's credit."

"The tap water in the base camp is clean, is it the credit of this reservoir? Maybe someone is still maintaining it?"

Qian Mozheng reminded everyone, they hurried to a house, Yang Mou shouted: "Hey, is there anyone?"

There was only a cloud of dust in the huge room, and it was found that there was a filter pool underneath, and the water in the reservoir entered here for treatment.Although no one is maintaining it, nor does it have any power supply, it is cleverly designed to rely on the water power generated by the dam to provide basic filtering power.The reservoir is in an all-natural environment without any pollution, and there are no signs of human activities around it.

"So, the water in the library itself is very clean, enough for people to drink directly!" Established around the filter pool, it seems that he has professional knowledge in this area, "Actually, we don't need to drink tap water or purify it." Water, as long as the water in nature is not polluted, it can be drunk directly, and it is more beneficial to human health.”

Qian Mozheng nodded and said, "I understand. This is the design concept of the reservoir. As long as an all-natural environment is maintained, it will be more effective than any water treatment system!"

"Yes, the design of this reservoir is great! It can be said that it is the most advanced in the world. It does not require too much high technology, nor does it require too much capital and infrastructure. It is king to follow nature. Unfortunately, our domestic Hydraulic engineering is the complete opposite."

Yuling couldn't understand their professional discussion, so she could only sigh softly: "So it's next to my home, and there is such a good place."

And Qian Mozheng couldn't wait any longer, he ran out quickly and came to the shallows beside the reservoir.This pool of dark green lake water is rippling among the deep mountains, just like a woman he loved 17 years ago.

He quickly took off his jacket and trousers, and the lake reflected his well-developed chest muscles. Years of field photography and exercise gave him a physique beyond the average Chinese.Although he just passed his 40th birthday two months ago, he does not feel that he has entered the age of forty.This body and the heart in this chest are still like a young man full of vitality, and he can still do anything he did back then.

The others also walked to the lake and looked at Qian Mozheng in amazement.When Yang Mou asked him what he was going to do, he jumped into the reservoir.

Don't worry, Qian Mozheng is just swimming.

The cold lake water soaks into the skin, and it feels extremely refreshing.Since entering this damn empty city, he hasn't showered for two nights, and his body is so uncomfortable that calluses are grinding out.Now the whole body is surrounded by this clear water, only the head is exposed to the water from time to time, breathing the freshest oxygen between heaven and earth.He stretched his limbs and swam to the center of the reservoir. He knew that the bottom was unfathomable. Perhaps there were unknown fish swimming by his feet. Was this the Garden of Eden prepared for them?

Yu Ling looked enviously at the swimmer in the middle of the lake, while Yang Mou kept the camera for him.Only Cheng Cheng's face was extremely dignified. He saw Qian Mozheng's smooth back flickering on the mirror-like water...

Second Group.

In the morning, nine fifteen.

Ye Xiao faced the long-haired girl in the mirror.

In the midst of the scented garden of melancholy, and the dusty emptiness of the bungalow, this mirror was installed in a small room, facing an Arabian window.He wiped the mirror a little, and the white cloud outside the window was just skillfully reflected on the mirror—it must have been carefully designed!Looking from where Ye Xiao was, the girl printed on the mirror was just holding the flower reflected in the mirror in her arms.

Looking at the small pond outside the window, plus the mirror inside the window, it is really a veritable "flower in the mirror, moon in the water"!
Sun Tzuchu also praised: "It's wonderful! Such a beautiful garden and house, it's a pity that they are dilapidated."

"But it's very strange. I originally thought that the girl lived here, but now it seems that it is obviously impossible. This place is completely uninhabitable—could she just come to comb her hair in front of the mirror?"
