"Xue, I have a very bad feeling..." Guo Yi told him everything he had learned, "-I don't know how to explain all this. If this is what they arranged, the performance level That’s enough to win an Oscar.”
"What you are saying is that there is no point in taking our lives. If you just want to put on a show and make us believe it, the price will be too high."
It was raining heavily outside, and the two of them were silent, watching the water droplets flow along the tarp and into the pile of rocks at their feet. They didn't know what to say. They felt a sense of abandonment, as if they were the only ones left in the world - too many unexplainable things happened in 24 hours.
"I'm not acting." Salina, who had been sleeping, said that she had woken up and sat up holding on to the stone.
"You're asleep now." Xue Ziliang immediately stood up and said, "Your internal organs seem to have been shocked. Please rest more."
"It doesn't matter..." Salina's Chinese was a little difficult to pronounce, but she was still fluent. "Guo, your suspicion is justified." She took a breath. "When you went to examine the body, were there any underwear?"
Guo Yi thought, I'm not a pervert. Why would I be stripping off the pants of a man's corpse in broad daylight?
"Guo, people in ancient times didn't have underwear..." Salina seemed a little weak, "Especially the poor."
"Can't this be done accurately?" Guo Yi was seriously doubtful. When he recalled it, it seemed that he didn't notice that they had underwear when they were searching for things. As for whether they had underwear, he didn't know.
"Assuming they were dressed up by modern people, the planners couldn't have even thought about the issue of underwear." She paused for a moment and said to Xue Ziliang: "When the rain stops, let's go back and take a look at the bodies."
"No," Xue Ziliang said, "If the enemy comes back and we don't have the strength to fight them again - I will go and carry a corpse back."
"I will go with you."
"No, you stay here, Salina has no ability to resist now." Xue Ziliang waved his hand, "I'll come as soon as I go." After that, he put on the raincloth and got out.
For a while, only Guo Yi and Salina were left in the grotto. It was the first time that Xiao Guo was so close to the Ocean Horse. There was a strong smell of perfume mixed with the smell of blood, and some peculiar smell, a bit like the smell of wild beasts... mixed The smell made him feel uncomfortable all over. To be fair, a white woman like Salina didn't look good if she got up close. Her skin was rough and a little bumpy, but her plump and bumpy figure, watery blue eyes, and long black eyelashes... still impressed him. The little drum in my heart beats wildly. He wouldn't have dared to think about it in his original environment: as an ordinary, non-leading security officer, the sensitivity of his work prevented him from having many personal relationships with foreigners - unless it was a mission. The current environment of being isolated from all sides has made his organizational discipline begin to falter... He really wants to have a few words with Selina...
"Guo, can you get me a backpack to lean on?" Salina took the initiative, "I'm very tired."
"Oh," Xiao Guo was startled for a moment, "Okay." He dragged the backpack from the side and helped her lean against him. He took the opportunity to help her shoulders again - the shoulders were so round...
"Thank you," Salina closed her eyes, "Guo, you are a very reliable person..."
Guo Yi actually blushed. The word "reliable" is worth pondering now.
"If Ziliang hadn't saved me today, I would have been beaten to death." Guo Yi quickly displayed the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and showed humility.
"If Pooh doesn't save you, we can't escape." Pooh is Xue Ziliang's English name. Selina gasped again, "The current situation is very pessimistic, very pessimistic..."
While they were talking, Xue Ziliang came back with a body on his back and placed it on a stone. The rain had stopped. Salina reluctantly came out holding the stick and inspected it together.
This is the body of a young man, shot to death. Seeing a person beaten to death in front of him made Xiao Guo very uncomfortable. Death distorts a person's face, but it can still be seen that he looks like a typical southern Han. Xue Ziliang found a pack of latex gloves from his backpack and bought a pair for each of them. Selina took out a dagger from her waist and used it as an anatomy tool.
The deceased's hands were covered with calluses, his upper limbs were thick, and his muscles were strong. He had obviously been engaged in hard work for a long time. I wore straw sandals on my feet. After taking them off, I found thick calluses on the soles of my feet, which were caused by walking barefoot for a long time. There were many traces of parasite bites on my skin, indicating scabies infection. Salina pried open the corpse's mouth and let Xue Ziliang shine a flashlight on it. The teeth are white but severely worn, which is caused by long-term consumption of grains adulterated with impurities.
After cutting off the clothes on his body, he found that he didn't have any underwear. The texture of the clothes is a kind of cheesecloth, which is very coarsely woven and dyed into a blackish blue. Xue Ziliang twisted it for a while and said that it was probably dyed with a vegetable dye. The dyeing was uneven and the color faded seriously. It can't be from a factory anyway.
After the examination, Xue Ziliang went to throw the body into the river. Salina took off her gloves and her face became paler.
"I kind of believe what they said -" she said, "the deceased does not look like a person living in modern society in any way."
"Is it some kind of tribe in a primitive society?"
"To put it this way, in Asia, there are only a few primitive tribes in the mountains of Southeast Asia, but the location and racial characteristics are not consistent." Salina said, "These tribes cannot weave, let alone dye. They can do this Two points, it’s not a primitive tribe.”
"Is it really 1628 now?"
After discussing it for a while, we still couldn't come to any conclusion. No one could believe that they had arrived in ancient China. The only way is to keep moving forward until you reach a populated place. Then the truth will naturally be revealed.
The fierce battle just now made them not optimistic about the safety of the road ahead. Guo Yi's 64 pistol was lost and never found again, not to mention that he had no bullets when it was found. When the two ATFs entered the country, their weapons were temporarily detained by customs. Now they have no weapons except three military daggers. Fortunately, the opponent only had sticks in the attack just now. If there were iron guns or more swords, it would not be so cheap today.
Guo Yi sharpened all three sticks, lit a fire, and slowly dried and hardened the tips. This is seen from the "History of the Revolutionary Struggle in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Areas". It is said that soaking in a manure tank for a few days will be better.
Xue Ziliang took care of Salina, a sick patient, and her walking slowed down a lot, which also gave Xiao Guo, who was in pain all over, the opportunity to take a breather. The farther you go, the louder the sound of the water becomes, the terrain here becomes steeper, and rocky slopes are visible from time to time. The group of people walked and climbed and turned around a slope. In front of them was a large rocky beach. The river poured down from the nine-level rock, making a thunderous roar. The river bed is littered with rocks. Spread in water. There are four clusters of more than ten meters in diameter in the river, with cracked tops, shaped like petals, and pink, like lotuses spreading out on the water; one looks like an old man playing chess; some looks like a fisherman fishing, and some are stone nests because of the erosion of the water. The rocks kept rotating and colliding, making a clanging sound.
(Note: These scenery are all excerpted from articles describing Bairentan in the past. In modern Bairentan, many famous stones in history are no longer there.
"The scenery is really good..." The trio, who had just experienced a life-and-death struggle, were in a much better mood. As they were walking, they suddenly saw four people covered with luggage standing on the stone beach in front of them - They are members of the Ming family.
While they were resting and delayed on the road, the family who had been lagging behind had already moved to the front. Seeing them approaching, both women showed alert and frightened expressions. Xiao Guo thought it was probably because they saw the bodies on the road.
The old man with the most bad temper didn't even look at them. He squatted alone under a big rock on the beach, holding his head in his hands. He seemed to be thinking hard.
Guo Yi looked over and saw that there were only three palm-sized characters "Bairentan" carved on the stone. What is there to study?
Seeing that Xue Ziliang was about to get closer, the policeman took a step back and put on a guarded look. Xue Ziliang was confused.
The old lady took her daughter-in-law's hand, looked at the sharpened sticks in their hands, and forced a smile:
"Nothing, nothing, just acquaintances..."
Xiao Guo hurried up and told the truth about everything that happened along the way. When he talked about being attacked by more than ten people, they clearly showed their disbelief. It wasn't until he took out his ID that he dispelled some of the other party's doubts. The pretty police officer named Mu Min checked his ID for a long time before returning it to him.
"Don't mind, there are too many fake IDs pretending to be police officers now." She sat down on the stone and pointed to the stone next to her. The husband who was standing aside quickly sat down.
Damn, you are so obedient. Before Xiao Guo could despise his husband, Mu Min began to talk about some things within the system. They were both in the same system, and although the business departments were different, they could still chat. After chatting, I found out that this girl is very strong. She has been in the security department for 3 years, criminal investigation for 5 years, and the political department for 1 year. She is a capable person with both literary and military skills. As they chatted, Guo Yi felt that the alertness in the other person's eyes disappeared a lot, and he suddenly realized: This girl is trying to find him "under the sea". Even if your ID can achieve 100% authenticity, the system will It is absolutely impossible to figure out things without the system.
sharp! Guo Yi couldn't help but feel ashamed secretly. How could the gap between people be so big all of a sudden?
Both parties had shown their trump cards, and their vigilance was much lower. Li Mei, the old lady, became more enthusiastic. Seeing that Salina was not in good health and had a fever, she looked for medicine from her luggage, and brought out candied fruits and ham sausage biscuits. A bunch of messy things were served to entertain the three agents. They had not eaten anything since they got out in the morning. They exercised vigorously and their stomachs were rumbled with hunger. Xue Ziliang whispered while swallowing the ham sausage. Guo Yi told Guo Yi that the preservatives in this product must be labeled, and they are all oil and starch, which are extremely harmful to health...
"You are so picky! Don't eat if you are afraid of death." Guo Yi was extremely dissatisfied with this ABC, not because this bastard looked like the greatest in the United States all day long, but because he was always rushing to help Salina This made Xiao Guo's mentality slightly unbalanced.
