"Why are these people so arrogant? How did they cross the border?"
"Besides, our place is still a long way from the border, right?"
After hearing this, Li Dabao curled his lips speechlessly and said, "Ask me this, who should I ask?"
"Maybe they came a few years ago. After all, there is a gold mine down here. Even though it has been fully developed, there is still some dregs, right?"
After speaking, Li Dabao sighed and said, "Did we go out without reading the almanac? How come we're already at a bad start before we even start?"
Because there was a sick person in the car, there was no way to go down the mountain now. In the end, Leng Yue asked me to stay here while he went to find someone to rescue me.
Leng Yue was also lucky. Not two hours after she left, just when the sky was getting brighter, Leng Yue came back with an uncle who was out herding cattle.
Looking from a distance from our side, we can see Leng Yue and the uncle driving the cattle talking and laughing, just like a family.
When we saw this scene, both Li Dabao and I were almost shocked.
Li Dabao looked at me with a look of disbelief.
"Um, Jiuri, do you think we are dreaming?"
"When did the eldest sister become like this?"
"Here... hit me and let me see if it hurts. I want to make sure if this is a dream."
When I heard Li Dabao make this request, I almost didn't hesitate at all. I used all my strength to slap Li Dabao on the face.
This slap hurt so much that I turned red.
Li Dabao, on the other hand, cried when I slapped him in the face.
Finally, he covered his face and said with extreme grievance: "Are you really going to hit me?"
Looking at Li Dabao's appearance, I couldn't be more happy.
But he still pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Didn't you ask me to hit you? I thought if the beating wasn't hard enough, you would beg me to hit you again."
"Then you can't hit me in the face..."
While we were arguing, Leng Yue patted our window and said with a cold face: "Come down, push the cart!"
The old man tied our van with a rope and then drove the herd of cattle forward.
The journey was slow after that, but at least I could move.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, under the leadership of the old man, we finally entered the village closest to Sanmiao Village.
Fortunately, although there is no car repair shop in this village, there is a family with a van.
We paid a high price to buy this car from this family.
Then he repaired the car at Mr. Miao's house.
Mr. Miao is the old man who helps us pull the cart. He drives the cattle up the mountain to graze the cattle every day.
Leng Yue did not choose to walk back, but walked forward. She happened to see Mr. Miao, and communicated with him to help us get out of danger.
Uncle Miao asked what we did, and Leng Yue told him that we were from the Institute of Geology in Beijing, specifically here to collect geological samples.
Anyway, we just said some words that the other party couldn't understand, and then showed the other party the certificates we prepared in advance.
Only then did he get confused.
Mr. Miao was also very hospitable. Not only did he not hide anything from us, he also invited his wife to cook us a very sumptuous meal.
While eating, Li Dabao was devouring his food so much that his mouth squeaked louder than the pigs in Uncle Miao's pig pen.
Mr. Miao’s granddaughter smiled from ear to ear.
When we asked Mr. Miao about San Miao Village, the latter said: "San Miao Village disappeared long ago after 1998. There are many elderly people in San Miao Village in our village. I wonder if there is anything you are looking for." people."
But when I told Mr. Miao about the old man with ghost hands, he thought for a moment and said, "The person you mentioned should not exist in our village."
"After all, our village is not big. If you insist on going to Sanmiao Village to have a look, it is not impossible. I will ask my granddaughter to take you there tomorrow...!"
I lowered my head and glanced at the little girl who was eating sweet potatoes and said, "Uncle Miao, isn't this good? The mountain road is rugged, and there is still a disaster area over there. Miss Xiaofang is so young, why are you so relieved?"
Hearing what I said, the girl named Xiaofang was a little unconvinced and pursed her lips: "Brother, you can't look down on others. Although I am young, I am a child who grew up in the mountains."
"Compared to you people in the city, this small mountain road is nothing. I dared to follow my father into the mountains to hunt when I was four years old. Before the flood, I had never been to Sanmiao Village...!"
Old Man Miao also laughed and said: "Comrade, you don't have to worry about Fang Wazi's safety. I won't let her send you too far. As long as you reach the Sanmiao Village, you can find the rest of the way by yourself."
"Fang Wazi also has a good impression of you because of your kindness. Otherwise, she wouldn't be willing to be asked to lead the way...!"
Li Dabao, who was eating, raised his head and said, "What, do you often have outsiders coming in?"
Mr. Miao said: "That's not true, but there are still two groups of comrades like you in the geological exploration team."
oh?
When I heard this, my heart suddenly moved.
I'm asking what's going on?
Old man Miao began to talk about the geological exploration team.
In the years between the 1986 and 1998 floods, a total of three or four teams entered the deep mountains and old forests here, almost all of them under the banner of geological exploration teams.
The first time and the second time both teams were led in personally by Mr. Miao.
Both times were normal geological explorations, and a lot of rock and geological soil samples were dug out from the mountain.
It is said to be taken back for study, and the country may build a military base here and so on.
When people in the village learned that development was going to be carried out here, many people were quite happy.
After all, this place is already relatively close to the border. It would be great if the country can develop here.
The third team was led into the mountain by Xiaofang's father.
It's just that this time when he entered the mountain, there was no news about his father and the entire team.
As for the time when the last team appeared, it was at the end of 1997. There were a lot of people there, more than ten people.
They were dressed in different costumes, including old men, women, and students wearing glasses.
This group of people said they were from the Yunnan Archaeological Research Institute and were here to look for members of the previous geological exploration team.
At the same time, rescue excavations will be carried out on the ancient tombs that may be found here.
This group of people even produced an approval document from the County Cultural Relics Bureau.
Red-headed documents and official seals from the county had to be convincing.
Mr. Miao led the team into the mountains for the last time.
It's just that this time when leading the team into the mountains, we encountered some accidents or mistakes.
They first entered Sanmiao Village and set up camp in the home of the village owner.
Finally, they entered the depths of Xuanwu Peak behind Sanmiao Village for geological exploration.
Xuanwu Peak is also the place where the exploration team disappeared. There is a thick fog there all year round. Although it is not poisonous, people who go in can easily get lost in it.
During the period when this group of archaeologists entered Xuanwu Peak, Mr. Miao played the role of passing information back and forth and transporting supplies.
At that time, there were two middle-aged people from Sanmiao Village with Mr. Miao.
Mr. Miao said that the group of people set up tents at the entrance of the valley of Xuanwu Peak after entering the mountain. Every day they would bring back some soil samples, some ancient bamboo slips, or some things carved on stones.
They didn't understand either, so when they looked at it, the group of archaeologists didn't stop them.
The entire exploration lasted for more than a month, and some strange phenomena began to appear among the team.
We were all attracted by Mr. Miao's story, so when Mr. Miao talked about strange phenomena.
Li Dabao put the bowl in his hand and lit a cigarette for Mr. Miao very discerningly.
Then he asked softly: "What's the strange phenomenon? Could it be that they encountered a ghost?"
Mr. Miao took a deep drag on the cigarette and then slowly exhaled it.
Then he said in a deep voice: "Are there ghosts in this world?"
"I have stayed in the mountains all my life and have never seen a real ghost. It would be great if they encountered real ghosts...!"
"I don't know how to explain the phenomenon I saw, but it is definitely much colder and more frightening than the ghosts we talk about...!"
