Chapter 3 Tracking

The old man laughed, waved his hands at us and walked back to his seat. We both for no reason, and heard the old man whisper to his deskmates: "It's okay, you're fine, you two green heads, you don't know anything, you don't have to pay attention to it."

Lao Yang's face changed when he heard this. He asked me to leave quickly. We threw down ten dollars and quickly left the roadside stall. When we walked to a turn, I asked Lao Yang: "What are you doing to leave? You are only halfway through the wine?"

Lao Yang looked back sneakily and said, "Then—that old man is not simple. He just told his deskmate that we were Qing-Qingtou. I heard those people who were traveling around the world say in prison that this Qingtou means that we are not people on the Tao. This group of people may have come to fight back."

I smiled and said, "That's not going to leave. The soldiers come to block the enemy, and the water comes to flood the earth. What can they do to us in this hall?" Lao Xing patted me and said that I don't understand. I can't explain the things in the underworld clearly. I guess all the words we said just now have been heard. These people are all desperate people. Killing someone is like pinching an ant to death. If you don't leave, you may have dreams for a long time.

I knew he might have heard the gangsters say a lot in prison, and he didn't go to argue with him. He nodded and went back to the guesthouse.

The next day, we set off before seven o'clock. Each person carries 15 kilograms of equipment and dry food. There are many mountain streams in the Qinling Mountains and do not need to bring too much water. However, it is very necessary to prepare some medicines for treating diarrhea. The stomach and intestines in our cities will definitely not be able to adapt to the natural stream water in the mountains.

I have been to Qinling several times before. Every time I come, I will walk around for the tour guide. I never know how to go on this road, so I have to follow Lao Yang this time. When he came here three years ago, he also followed the tour group. He had to go on the tour group this time, otherwise he would not recognize the road.

We drove by Xibao Expressway to Changyang Mountain in Baoji, Shaanxi. Then we turned to the source of Jialing River. I looked at the map and became more depressed the more I looked. My mother was just a big circle. If I had known this, I might as well sign up for a tour group directly.

I usually walk around the road. The winding mountain road turns small every five seconds and big every ten seconds. My head is pressed against the seat in front of me, and I feel my internal organs churning. Lao Yi is even worse. He hasn't taken a car for three years and is already very dizzy on the way. This time it is even more amazing. He is about to vomit bile and said, "I'm old, I'm old, and I'm useless when I'm old. Three years ago, I can still argue with the girls next to me when I walk this road. I didn't expect that this time I can't even open my eyelids."

I scolded, "Don't talk so much, if you don't leave the expressway, you have to walk on the winding mountain road. Now I regret it's useless."

Lao Yang waved his hand at me and told me not to talk to him.

At this time, I suddenly heard an explosion coming from a distance, which made the window glass of Weng Weng sound. The whole car was in a state of turmoil. I looked out the window and saw dust and smoke rising from the opposite mountain. Lao Yi started to be shocked and asked me: "What's the matter? The ground is earthquake!" A middle-aged man in front of me turned around and said, "Two people from other places, don't you know? Someone is bombing the tomb."

I asked, "This cemetery is so brave in broad daylight!" He grinned and showed his yellow teeth. "The mountain opposite is different from this mountain. Don't look at the Jialing River in the middle. There is also a winding mountain road here, and there is not even a place to walk there. Even if you call the police now, it will take at least one day and one night to get there. Unless you can grow wings and fly over, you can only stare at the blind."

I nodded and asked again, "Then is there no good way?"

He shook his head, "The master can't even think of it. How could we ordinary people have a good idea? Just let it go. But looking at the movement just now, I'm afraid there was too much explosive."

I said "Oh" and turned to look out the window. I saw a vast forest, and the scenes that happened under the canopy of trees were simply unsightly. This should be one of the countless branches of the Qinling Mountains.

The Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi are distributed in a bee-waisted shape, with several mountains being divided into two wings on the east and west wings. The mountains and basins are arranged in an intersect, and there are many rivers with deep mountains. The 800-mile Qinchuan has been a place of famous cultural relics and historical sites since ancient times, especially the northern slopes, and there are many tombs of other dignitaries and nobles, wealthy and gentry. Therefore, this place is always a place where tomb robbers flock to the ground. But I didn’t expect that before entering the depths of the Qinling Mountains, there were tomb robbers blatantly bombarding the tombs here. It seems that it is definitely not so easy to find one or two Han tombs worth falling.

The local man was very enthusiastic and handed over a cigarette and asked me, "Are you two babies here for a trip? Where do you think of going?"

I said, "I want to go to Taibai Mountain to take a look." He nodded and said, "You can't walk far if you don't follow the tour group. You will get lost if you make it well. Do you want me to lead you a while? I live in a village next to the reserve. I will be able to climb over two hills and arrive. You see, it's necessary to find a tour guide.

When I heard this, it turned out that this guy was still a black tour guide. The people in the mountains were so tough. Don’t take me into the ravine and stabbed me. I shook my head and said, “No, no, we have arrangements for ourselves.”

He talked for a long time, and seeing that we really had no intention of this, he turned back to sleep.

The car drove for another hour and finally arrived at the foot of Taibai Mountain. Lao Yang and I stumbled out of the car and knew that we were in our current physical condition. Entering the mountain was a dead end, but fortunately there was a small hotel next to us, so we stayed there for a night. I didn’t eat dinner, so I lay down and slept until noon the next day. Lao Yang pushed me up and whispered: "Lao Wu, hurry up and get up and see. Who is this person?"

I was sleepy and pulled to the window by him. I saw five people standing in the patio outside the window. One of the leaders was the old man we met at the roadside stall in Xi'an. He was drawing something under the ground with a branch, and then the other four people kept nodding and walked out.

We saw them walking far away and ran downstairs to see where they were just standing. The old man drew many square blocks on the ground. Lao Yang asked me: "This - what is this old guy drawing the ground? Why does it look like Tetris?" I said: "What Tetris, see clearly. This is a floor plan. Look at these two rows of stone men and stone horses. Here is the mound of earth, this is the central axis of the entire tomb. It seems that they are looking for a large tomb in a planned manner."

Lao Yang asked me, "Can you see what dynasty?" I cursed, "Do you think I am a god, go and settle the tent quickly. Let's follow them, there must be a tomb next to the place where there is a large tomb. We are arrogant enough to pick up the leftovers of them."

We hurriedly bought a few sesame cakes, rushed all the way, and chased them into the mountains. After running for about fifteen minutes, we finally saw the people squatting on the ground and resting. Lao Yang pulled me to hide in the bushes and whispered: "I-don't keep us too close. Look at their butts and pockets are bulging, maybe there are guns. There are still some tourists here now, and there will be fewer people when you go in. It's not so easy for us to hide. If they find it, it's irritating - trouble."

I felt it was reasonable when I heard it, so I nodded and waited for the group of people to walk away before following them carefully. Fortunately, there were many turns here. It was not too difficult to follow them. It was just a bit awkward, and itchy, scraped by sharp weeds and shrubs. It hurts and itchy.

This group of people has a clear purpose and doesn't stop halfway. They seem to be not interested in the scenery of the Qinling Mountains at all. They are in good physical strength. We are almost fainting after following them. They are still walking as fast as they fly. Lao Yang panted and said to me: "Old---Old Wu, I think that's it - forget it, they fell to their ground, we poured ours. If you follow me, I'll stop the food." I cursed: "I said fuck, you have only been squatting in the kiln for three years. Why isn't you so useless? I don't follow me now. I'm in vain for those sins just now? Bite me

"I said this, but I actually wanted to give up, but this opportunity was really rare. With my shallow skill in finding dragons and pointing acupoints, I actually didn't have a big chance to find an ancient tomb hidden in the six or seven meters underground among the mountains and ridges. Even if I could find it, it would take ten days and half a month. When I came here, I thought it was a good idea, and I thought it would be a tourist. When I saw it, I found that it was not so easy to stay in this mountain for ten days and half a month. I was a little uncomfortable with the climate here alone.

We followed until midnight, and the group of people in front stopped. Lao Yang suddenly fell to the ground and said, "Oh my god, I'm tired. If they go on, I will fight him - they. Lao Wu, have they stopped and come to the place?"

I thought about it for a while and said, "No, it's still too shallow here. If there is a tomb here, I've been knocked down long ago. I guess I'm tired of walking and resting. You see, they've set fires, and I'm going to stay here at night. Don't waste time, fill your stomach and go to bed first."

Lao Yang sighed and only blamed me for the bad idea that we could not make fire in the middle of the night. We were discovered after a lifetime of fire. We were wet, so we could sleep like this. I regretted that I could have roasted dry food before eating, but now I can only chew it coldly, but now it is difficult to get rid of it. If I can't bear this little pain, I will probably have to escape back if I go into the mountains.

Lao Yang was depressed for a long time and suddenly said, "We follow like this passively - it's not a solution. Now it's so dark, let's sneak over and listen - listen to what they are saying. If we can hear some clues, we don't need to follow so hard."

When I heard what Lao Yang said made sense, I nodded. The two of them stuffed dry food into their mouths in three mouths and touched the bonfire.

I walked along the way, but the mountain was so quiet that we could not walk far away that we could hear their voices. Lao Yang pulled me and signaled to hide here, and there was no need to touch it. I nodded, and the two of them squatted down, held their breath, and heard them laughing there. To our surprise, there were two people talking inside with a strong Guangdong accent. This was really strange. I had never heard of this from Guangdong.

A young voice heard: "Uncle Tai, you guess you will probably have to walk to us for a few days? My legs are almost broken today."

Uncle Tai said, "You are asked to cultivate your character on weekdays. Your grandmother only knows how to eat, drink, gamble, and be in the pile of women. You have to bear this trip. I tell you that if you have a road, you have to walk for three days. If you don't have a road, I can't say it. If you can't stand it, go down the mountain now and don't drag me back."

After hearing these words, Lao Yang glared at me fiercely and said softly: "Listen—heard or not, follow—we don't know until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month, but fortunately I didn't listen to you." I patted Lao Yang, signaling him to be quiet and listen to what they said.

The young man was obviously a little taboo about Uncle Tai and said, "I've been a little weak recently. Don't worry, this deal has been completed, and we will never have to come to this mountain valley again. We will follow Boss Wang and Boss Li to Hong Kong to see and live a life of a superior person, right?"

At this time, a person with a Guangdong accent said: "Hi, hi, no problem. We agreed that you can get the things done. We want as much as we want. This time it will be a lifelong transaction. Once it is done, everyone can retire. At that time, the colorful world of Hong Kong will be filled with lots of money. It is still worth the effort."

Uncle Tai said, "Boss Wang, don't talk so much first, but whether this fight is there or not, you just open your mouth. Then again, we have been working together for so many years, and I never know where you got the news. If you don't have any taboos, just talk to our brothers."

Boss Wang replied: "Oh, I said you, Lao Tai, you are too sensible. If you really want to know, I can tell you, but you may not believe it if you say it.
