The voice was mechanical and cold, with no fluctuations audible. There were only three words. The "it" among them had other homophones, but there was no doubt that the "it" in these three words must refer to the thing in Ma Bao's hand.
Metal objects.
This is so strange. Are there other people in this place? And what method did he use? It actually forced Ma Bao's walkie-talkie to receive the relevant signal.
"Boss! Run!"
The two of us retreated back to back. Although nothing else happened, the walkie-talkie on Ma Bao still kept making noises and making vague syllables. When we retreated about twenty meters,
Three distinguishable words came out of that string of syllables again.
"Put it down..."
We ignored it and just ran as hard as we could. When we reached the stranded iron boat, the noise in the walkie-talkie disappeared. It was replaced by the red light that accepted normal signals. Ma Bao tried to use
After a while, the machine returned to normal.
"Boss, don't worry about so much and leave quickly."
Ma Bao gave me some equipment for climbing, and then urged me to climb across the large partition of the rock wall. Rock climbing at this height, despite the aid of equipment, is still dangerous, but it is still more dangerous than swimming through the water.
It was much safer. The two of us were a few meters apart and crawled that way with all our strength. The walkie-talkie was completely still, without any abnormal fluctuations.
We climbed back up in one breath, our hands and feet were already sore, and then we went back up with the help of the rope. Hero Lei was hung at a height of about ten meters, and Ma Bao climbed up to take care of him. The rope began to rise until
At this time, I felt a little safer.
"Ma Bao, you just said that the back of that piece of metal is a flat relief of the whole of Tibet?"
"Yes, boss, you may have also noticed the uneven areas on the relief, which are the directions of several main mountain ranges in Tibet. According to my impression, the relief map is very accurate."
If a map of a place is found on something that is not yet fully understood, then this place must have special significance from any aspect. I asked Ma Bao for a piece of metal, but he refused and said
Once these things are unearthed, they cannot be owned by private individuals.
But he still promised me that after he figured out some things, he would tell me some of what he could tell me.
There were no more accidents along the way. The three of us were brought to the ground by ropes. The edge of the pit under the huge canvas and even the platform not far away had calmed down. Ma Bao's two companions were guarding the winch. He went over
We chatted softly with the other party for a while, and then said to me: "The situation is completely under control. Boss, your companions may still be on the next floor. They probably haven't found you and they refuse to leave."
When I escaped from the danger below, I was worried that Ma Bao would suddenly turn against me and hold me captive. However, not only did he not do so, he also promised to send me to meet Xiao Hu and Lao Zhao in person.
Finally, we took Lei Yingxiong, who was still unconscious, and found Xiaohu and the others on the floor. The situation before was a bit tense. Almost all the people from Donglian were gathered here. Xiaohu was better, and Lao Zhao and the two guys were all dead.
The surviving travelers had been taken away by Ma Bao's companions, and only Lei Duo stayed here. When she saw me appearing with Lei Yingxiong on my back, she burst into tears, just like before,
She rushed forward and hugged two men who were irreplaceable to her, hugging her very tightly.
Ma Bao stood aside quietly, and Lao Zhao seemed a little hostile to him. After Lei Duo stopped crying, Ma Bao called me aside and said: "Boss, you should leave as soon as possible, someone will come to this place soon."
I don't know how to evaluate this person. If I say I'm annoyed by him, that's really annoying. But looking back on what I went through down there, I have to accept his sympathy.
"Thank you." I argued with myself for a long time, and all my comments came down to these four words.
"You're welcome." Ma Bao smiled, showing two rows of white teeth. Then he stopped smiling and said to me solemnly: "Boss, I still hope you will seriously consider and cooperate with the research."
"About research..." I really wanted to know what was hidden behind the six fingers. Before, I hoped that Ma Bao's institution could figure it all out. But when I returned to the ground, when I saw
When I saw the still-living Mustache and the tearful Lei Duo, I suddenly felt that the past, no matter how it happened, was actually not that important anymore.
No matter what happened in the past, no matter what is hidden behind the six fingers, it is the past. I don’t want to live that kind of life anymore, it’s really tiring, I just want to live peacefully, that’s all.
I gave up the idea of finding out and said to Ma Bao: "Let's talk about this later. My father-in-law is still unconscious and I am not in the mood to talk about such trivial matters at the moment."
Of course, Ma Bao could hear the prevarication and perfunctoriness in my words. He sighed softly and said: "Boss, if I were you, I would be curious about these differences in myself. Don't you find it strange? Yours
The family has been multiplying for many years, and almost every generation of direct descendants has these six fingers."
"You've got a lot of information." I smiled, a little bitterly. In fact, I wanted to tell Ma Bao that I don't know much about my family. I don't even know my biological father.
Saw it.
"Some of my colleagues are professionals in genetics and genetics. If necessary, I can also invite several authorities in this field..."
"Let's talk about it." I patted Ma Bao on the shoulder and ended the conversation.
Ma Bao was helpless and a little regretful. He left me a phone number and said that if he thought about it in the future, he could contact him. When he turned to leave, I still reminded him very unkindly to remember his promise.
Tell me what happened here in Baozi Mountain.
We immediately set off from here and walked outside. On the way back, Hero Lei woke up. This experience was unfortunate, but fortunately we appeared very timely. He was already hung on the rope, but he did not have time to be lowered.
underground.
I could tell that he was very nervous when he woke up, but this nervousness did not come from what happened to him. He opened his eyes and looked around. When he saw Lei Duo who had been following him, the nervousness disappeared.
This scene makes me feel extremely relieved. The former hero Lei is dead, and now he is more like an ordinary person and more like a father.
"What did that kid do just now? I always feel uneasy when I look at him. Didn't you notice that he has a sinister look on his face?" Lao Zhao asked me.
"It's better not to mess with people like this. There's no benefit to it."
"You don't really expect him to tell you the truth, do you?" Lao Zhao pouted: "If you want to investigate clearly, you can only rely on yourself, Comrade Xiaotian, now that your father-in-law and wife are safe and sound, are you interested in coming with me?
Continue to conduct serious inspections here?"
"Let's forget it." I shook my head. The discovery here in Baozi Mountain will definitely attract the attention of Ma Bao's organization. Ma Bao probably won't lie. A large number of people will arrive here soon, so I directly refused.
He asked Lao Zhao and reminded him not to look for trouble.
We left here smoothly, Zhang Houhou and other guys were guarding outside. When a group of people saw us coming out, they suddenly became excited and gathered around shouting "Master Lei".
I always felt that Ma Bao would not lie to me, so I didn’t want to cause any more trouble. After meeting them, I immediately rushed out of the jungle along the original road. Lao Zhao looked like he had hemorrhoids along the way. When we were halfway there
After the journey, he couldn't help it anymore and wanted to stay and see how Ma Bao and his gang would investigate the affairs here in Baozi Mountain.
"Are you really idle? Once their people come over, their numbers will not be small, and they will surround the mountain. Even if you stay, what will you get?"
"What do you believe in what he says? How can such a big forest be enclosed? Besides, with my ability, what can a copper wall and an iron wall do to me?"
Lao Zhao didn't listen to the advice. As he spoke, he went to the guy's place to pack up his equipment. He stuffed a large backpack with it. He said he was going to stay here for a few days and asked the guys below if anyone was willing to accompany him. I couldn't stop him.
Just look at the mustache, and he is indifferent. Maybe he knows Lao Zhao's temper. Once he is stubborn, even a few donkeys can't pull him back.
"You carry this thing for me. After I successfully figure out all the truth about Baozi Mountain, I will go back to you to get it." Lao Zhao threw his backpack to me, which contained the top-secret box.
Lao Zhao turned around and disappeared into the dense forest behind. Then, we walked out of the jungle smoothly. No one wanted to stay here anymore, and it even cast a shadow on the entire Yunnan, and we immediately started heading north. On the way, I and I
Mustache talked about that metal object, and he frowned slightly as he listened.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Mustache looked out the window. After a long time, he turned back and asked me: "Do you want to know all this?"
"About six fingers? I definitely want to, but..." I didn't know how to express my thoughts. In the end, I summed it up in the simplest sentence: "I'm tired."
"Live your life well." There is an understanding in Mustache's eyes. Maybe only he knows best. If I can live a peaceful life, how much price I have to pay for this lifestyle.
After we returned to Changsha, the first thing I did was to move. I didn’t plan to open that bookstore, and I didn’t plan to own the house I lived in now. I had to completely get rid of Ma Bao’s organization, even though there was nothing wrong with them.
behavior, but I don’t want anyone to interfere with me.
Of course, I will not meet Ma Bao face to face again, but I will contact him if necessary and ask him for the final answer to the mystery of Baozi Mountain.
