The next morning, we simply packed up and set off again.
After traveling further south for more than two hours, we finally arrived at a valley.
This valley is not very big. The mouth of the valley is small, but the inside is large. There are many gravels and vegetation and vines in the valley. There is green everywhere, and the air seems to be mixed with the fragrance of vegetation.
Xiaofang said: "I will send you here. If you pass through this valley, you will enter the scope of Sanmiao Village. I have not come in again after the mudslide."
"As for how you go, I suggest you go around the edge of Black Dragon Mountain to the end of Sanmiao Village, and then find a way to enter the village."
Before Xiaofang left, she left two horses and a mule for us, saying that if we didn't find anyone, we could ride them back when we came out.
Looking at Xiaofang's bouncing figure, Li Dabao couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, that's great, the little girl is so cool..."
I hit Li Dabao and said, "I'm only fifteen years old. What are you thinking?"
Li Dabao curled up his lips and said, "Why are you fifteen? Can't I wait until they are adults before I have any ideas?"
"This is called the girl next door's first development. You know what a bird she is, a little chicken..."
"Okay, stop arguing, pack your things and go into the mountains."
Leng Yue said this unexpectedly, which shocked both of us.
Because I heard a very unhappy tone from Leng Yue's tone.
Then Li Dabao and I stopped arguing and started distributing equipment. In the end, all except Leng Yue carried a big backpack.
I had two big ones hanging on me, and Li Dabao had two big ones and one small one hanging on him, plus a carrying bag.
"Holy shit, I'm protesting, this guy walks like a turtle..."
Seeing Li Dabao's look, my sister couldn't hold back her laughter.
"You asked me to bring all these equipments, so do those who can do more work?"
Li Dabao still wanted to continue to argue with me, but Leng Yue had already jumped over the stone blocking us.
He took the lead and walked into this quiet and fragrant valley.
But the words coming out of his mouth were anything but relaxed.
"Try to find the person before dark. I feel that this area is not peaceful..."
Li Dabao looked left and right at the cliffs on both sides, and then followed behind Leng Yue.
He said, "Sister, I think it's okay. The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. Look at the colorful rocks in front and the jagged rocks. If it weren't for mudslides and earthquakes, it would be quite amazing to live in seclusion in this place."
Leng Yue did not answer Li Dabao's words, but told Li Dabao to cheer him up and pay attention.
I was walking at the back, and I was very concerned about Leng Yue's dissatisfaction.
But after finally walking out of this not-so-long valley, I found that nothing bad had happened, and I felt relieved.
Could something ominous happen in broad daylight?
After walking out of the valley, what caught our eyes was a huge sunken area.
The surrounding mountains on both sides are rolling, and you can see a lot of red soil rolling down from the mountains with the naked eye.
It was as if someone had thrown away the belly of the green mountain, leaking out the soil and rocks inside.
There were fallen trees and trees everywhere. Although we could vaguely see some traces of the road, it was almost impossible for us to walk straight across.
I took out the single-channel telescope from my backpack.
The range accuracy of this single-pass telescope is much higher than that of a double-pass telescope.
Through telescope observation, we can see the area covered by the mudslide. There are some collapsed houses on the farthest edge, as well as a few intact houses.
I even saw smoke rising from several of the houses, but I wasn't sure. It might have been caused by the mist drifting away from the mountains.
I handed the telescope to Leng Yue and Li Dabao for them to watch.
Finally, we came to the conclusion that there are indeed people living in Sanmiao Village. Since there are people living in it, it will be easier to handle.
As Miss Xiaofang said, we took a detour along the edge of Heilong Mountain towards Sanmiao Village.
However, due to landslides and mudslides, faults have appeared in many places, and even places without faults are still slippery.
I almost fell down several times. Fortunately, I had the help of a climbing rope, otherwise I would have ended up here before I even got there.
It was already past three in the afternoon when we actually stepped on the ground in Sanmiao Village.
Fatigue showed on everyone's face. Although they didn't encounter any danger during the process, they had to climb over the cliffs several times. Fortunately, everyone was fine.
Looking at the Sanmiao Village in front of him, Li Dabao immediately said: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Come on, I'm almost starving to death. Look, there are other people living in the stilted building in front. Let's go over and ask about the situation." ."
After saying that, Li Dabao rushed over immediately.
The Sanmiao Village in front of us can no longer be said to be a village, it can only be said to be a few crumbling families in a deserted area.
When we entered the house Li Dabao was talking about, what we saw was a big yellow dog and a blind old woman.
Especially after hearing Li Dabao's loud voice, the old woman's face showed a look of complete surprise.
And the big yellow dog kept barking crazily at us.
Although the old woman is blind and cannot see, her perception is very sensitive.
I just heard the old woman say in very poor Mandarin: "Are you here to take us useless people out of the mountain?"
Li Dabao frowned, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
I walked up and asked, "Old lady, we are here to find someone. If you want to go out of the mountain, please notify the village chief over there after we go back and ask them to organize people to rescue you. There is no way to pass on both sides of the mountain now. We I also climbed the mountain.”
My meaning is already very obvious, I believe the old woman in front of me can understand it.
In fact, I still have a question, that is, when a disaster occurred here, why did they not choose to leave, but now they want to leave.
However, on second thought, maybe I didn’t want to leave at first.
But in the end, I found that there were many inconveniences in life, so I had to choose to leave. However, it was impossible to leave several households at this time.
The old woman said oh after hearing this and did not choose to let us into the house.
Instead, we ask who we are looking for. After all, the people left here are the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the soil is covering their necks.
When I told the other party Chi Yuanshan’s name.
The old woman was not surprised at all, but said slowly: "He..."
"He died a month ago. No one cares about the body. If you go forward, there is a collapsed house on the edge of a mountain stream. The body is inside."
died?
When I heard the news, I felt a little overwhelmed.
We went through a lot of hard work and finally arrived at Sanmiao Village. When we got there, you told me you were dead?
How can I accept this?
Li Dabao was also a little depressed. He was carrying a bunch of equipment and vowed to come in to touch the underworld weapon, but he didn't get anything. How could he not be angry?
"Well, mother-in-law, do you know how Chi Yuanshan died? Why did he die suddenly after being so good?"
The old woman was a little angry when she saw us asking this.
He knocked the bamboo stick in his hand and said, "I don't know, old lady, I'm just a blind man. He died, and I just listened to what Gouwazi said."
"Who is Gouwazi?"
Leng Yue asked afterward.
"Haha...Isn't Gouwazi right in front of you? I've been telling you for so long, can't you hear me?"
The mother-in-law smiled as she spoke, but her smile was a little more weird.
As soon as this statement came out, we all looked at the big yellow dog that kept making us bark.
Li Dabao wanted to ask something else, but I stopped him.
"Forget it, Dabao, maybe my mother-in-law really doesn't know very well. Now that we know the place, we should go and have a look anyway, right?"
After that, I said to the old woman in front of me: "Mother-in-law, thank you. I hope you will accept this little thing. When we go out, we will definitely inform the village over there for you."
I took out puffed biscuits from my backpack and handed them to the old woman. These biscuits do not require a good tooth, they only need to be placed in the innermost part for a while before they can be eaten.
The old woman took the biscuits and did not refuse. Instead, she turned around and went back.
When leaving this stilted building, Li Dabao complained to me: "What the hell, we have so much stuff, why are you giving something to a blind man?"
I shook my head and said, "Dabao, you don't understand this. When I came back from the patriarch's house yesterday, he told me that Sanmiao Village is different from other villages."
"With them, you can offend anyone. Don't offend the elderly people here, otherwise your life will be in danger!"
Li Dabao said unconvinced: "Listen to his alarmist talk. What era are you in now? Socialism is the 21st century."
"return……"
"Ouch..."
"My stomach, my stomach hurts so much...!"
