It was just approaching noon when Yuan Bao made a sound.
Lu Lu and his party returned along the original route.
It had just rained two days ago and the situation in many places has become unclear. If you choose to return the same way, you will at least be more confident.
Yuan Bao suddenly made a sound, and it was directed from behind, which made Lu Lu and others suddenly become extremely alert.
"Are you following me?" Zhang Shaofeng looked back and whispered.
"We have been walking for more than three hours, and we are walking in a hurry. We are almost twenty or thirty miles away. I am afraid we won't have such good patience and foot strength, right?" Liang Kangbo was a little doubtful: "Could it be another tourist?"
Hunter?"
“You’ll know just by looking at it!”
Lu Lu said solemnly: "We are downwind. Although we were discovered by Yuanbao and the others, we should still be some distance away. Anyway, it's noon. Let's speed up before moving forward, find a place to rest, and get some rest."
Order some food... I want to see if it's them."
After Zhao Yongke heard this, he took the lead and moved forward.
After walking forward for about twenty minutes, we found a small meadow for the horses to rest, eat some grass, and drink some water.
"You guys are getting food here. Third brother and I will go back and take a look."
Lu Lu noticed that Yuan Bao often looked back and was very vigilant. This could only mean that he was being followed.
"Be careful!" Liang Kangbo nodded.
"You too! Third brother... let's go!"
Lu Lu asked Zhao Yongke to return more than 100 meters along the original road. He chose a big tree in the forest nearby, and then squatted down next to the tree. Several dogs also followed Lu Lu and stretched out his hand to press lightly.
On the ground.
Not long after, they heard the rustle of branches and leaves in the distance, and two people quickly emerged from the scene, following the footprints left by Lu Lu and others as they walked by, and quickly chased after them.
Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke looked at each other and recognized the people who were following them. They were the last two people who had committed the murder in Jingou.
Little did they know, the two of them immediately fell to the ground.
"Ouch, I'm exhausted. Let's take a rest!"
"I said, we have been lagging behind for a long time, not to mention they are riding horses, how can we catch up... Brother, if you ask me, let's stop chasing. These people definitely don't want this place.
The gold sand veins are known to outsiders. Instead of chasing them here, we might as well go back and seize the time to find some. We have been chasing them for three or four hours, running away and over mountains and ridges. We are in such a hurry. I really
I can’t walk anymore.”
"If we don't get rid of them, do you think we can find peace and security by digging for gold inside? Even if they don't tell the outside world, who knows when they will come back? We can't just keep watching, right? What if we are plotted by them in turn?
?It’s not like you haven’t seen how many people were robbed and killed in the mountains on the other side of Huma.”
"Okay, okay... I listen to you, let's keep chasing, wait for me to have a cigarette..."
The younger man reached for a cigarette from the breast pocket of his shirt. However, before the cigarette came out, he suddenly jumped up and ran back.
"What are you doing?" the older man asked loudly.
"The little golden Buddha I carried in my pocket is gone. I have to go back and look for it. It must have been dropped on the hillside where I fell."
"You do so many things in one day."
After hearing this, the older man also got up and ran back.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yongke stood up from the big tree where he was hiding, holding a gun and preparing to chase, but was held back by Lu Lu.
When they saw the two people appear just now, Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke raised their guns. They were separated by dozens of meters and covered by trees, waiting for the two people to pass by. Who knew that at this time, they would suddenly turn back again?
go back.
At such a critical moment, when he discovered that the little golden Buddha was gone, Lu Lu began to wonder if they were really blessed by the golden Buddha.
"Aren't we going to pursue him?" Zhao Yongke asked.
When they saw the two people following them, they were completely sure that these two people were here for people like them, not to mention hearing this.
"I'll follow you anyway... Let's go back and continue on our way. Maybe we won't even have to use our guns!"
Lu Lu thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea in his mind.
He got up and walked back.
Zhao Yongke followed him somewhat inexplicably: "We don't need a gun, so what are we going to do?"
"If I remember correctly, let's go a little further and there will be a forest swamp. I can't follow you through it on horseback. Chai Feng almost trapped me. Don't they like to follow? Then let them follow.
"Lu Lu smiled slightly.
"You want to use that swamp..."
"Yes, let's do an authentic site and bury it. Don't you think it's a very good place?"
“Really a great place!”
"Let's go, call them, and let's continue on our way."
Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke looked at each other and smiled, got up and led Yuan Bao towards where Zhang Shaofeng and others were.
Probably because these two people came to his door and had the opportunity to kill them, Zhao Yongke felt much better.
Back on the grass, Liang Kangbo and others were collecting firewood and had just emerged from the forest. Seeing Lu Lu and others coming back so quickly, he couldn't help but ask: "Aren't they those two people in Jingou?"
"Yes, are those two from Jingou following?" Lu Lu said with a smile.
"Fuck, you're looking for death!" Zhang Shaofeng cursed, and then asked, "Why don't you kill them?"
"Lao Wu said that the swamp further ahead is a good place for burial!" Zhao Yongke said meaningfully.
Liang Kangbo and Zhang Shaofeng were stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly came to their senses.
"That's good, it saves the muzzle of the gun being stained with blood!"
"Come on, let's cross the swamp and take a breather."
They threw the collected firewood aside, mounted their horses, and continued to speed forward.
After more than half an hour passed, a large valley appeared in the mountains ahead, sixty or seventy meters wide, with several large and small water bubbles scattered in it. This was exactly the swamp Lu Lu mentioned.
The vast meadows and swamps are the special symbols of the wilderness, so vast that they stretch as far as the eye can see, connecting the sky and the earth.
The difference from the grassland in Inner Mongolia is that the grass in the grassland just reaches the ankle, while the grass in the wilderness meadow is as low as the waist and as high as the top of a person's head, undulating in the wind. Thatch, foreign grass and three-legged grass
Most of them are, but urala grass is rare, otherwise it wouldn't be a "treasure".
Ula grass is mostly found on the meadows where Lu Lu's house is and in the mountains and forests. The Ula grass on the meadow is different from the Ula grass on the mountains. The Ula grass in the meadow has to be hammered and softened before it can be used, while the Ula grass on the mountain can be used directly.
Put it in your shoes to keep warm.
All the way into the mountains, the most troublesome thing is the swamps in the mountains.
Yarrow is the most abundant, grows densely and tall, usually more than one meter, and has strong vitality. Clusters are tightly nestled together, and the roots of each cluster are wrapped in mud and formed into a ball, like a rubber bump, soft.
Trembling, bigger than a basketball, and half exposed from the ground, this is the head of the tower.
Some are grass mounds connected to the ground, and some are just grass roots pulled into pieces and floating on the surface, especially in forest swamps. The top looks like the ground, but the bottom is a puddle of mud.
Inside, it's easiest to get tricked.
It is very rare for Oroqen horses to be able to jump on top of a tower and cross the swamp safely while carrying people in a place like this.
If you want to pass through this place absolutely safely, you have to go a long way around the valley.
When they arrived at the swamp, Lu Lu and others dismounted, each put on their reins, drove their horses, jumped on the top of the tower, and quickly passed through the meadow.
Lu Lu pulled out his hunting knife, chopped a long wooden stick on the side, and finally followed through, using the stick to test the soft parts of the mire as he walked.
In the middle, he jumped over, tied a few tower heads in the weakest position with ropes and pulled them out. He cleared out a three or four meter wide section of the net made of grass roots and threw it far away.
In the dense grass, Lu Lu chose two more small tower heads and threw them inside to simply disguise them.
He was not worried that the two people who were following him in a hurry would see through it, because it looked like a place where horses had trampled along the way.
It doesn't matter if they find it, they are also prepared to wait here, at least to ensure that they cannot get out of this swamp.
Afterwards, several people led the horses into the woods on the slope and tied them up, then returned to the edge of the woods and hid behind the big trees and waited.
About ten minutes later, Yuan Bao, who was squatting next to Lu Lu, suddenly stood up and called out.
"Coming!"
Following Lu Lu's reminder, several people immediately stopped talking and looked at the mountains and forests opposite.
After a while, two people hurried out of the forest and stopped when they saw the swamp in front of them.
After looking around, the older man immediately jumped forward one by one along the top of the tower where Lu Lu and others passed.
The young man was a little hesitant: "Brother, this is a swamp, be careful not to get stuck in it."
"What are you afraid of? Horses can step on them and pass by. Are you afraid that you can't bear your weight of more than 100 pounds? Don't delay anymore. Hurry up. If you hadn't gone back to find the little golden Buddha, we might have been where they were resting.
If we catch up on a piece of grass, why bother running so far!"
"Yes, yes, rely on me!"
The young man also held a gun, stepped on the head of the tower, and danced crookedly along.
Soon we arrived at the section where Lu Lu had cleaned up the grass roots and only the mud was left.
The two brothers hesitated for a moment and refused to go forward.
"Will this place sink? Brother, let's go around to another place."
"I told you that you are in trouble... Even if you fall into a trap, the horse can get out, so why can't we get out? Besides, if we go to other places, you can guarantee that we won't? At most, you will get some mud on your body.
Just go over and wash it and it will be done, hurry up..."
The older man became a little impatient and dragged his somewhat grinding brother forward and pushed him forward. His brother couldn't help but rush out, and he himself jumped up.
, jumped towards the small grass block that Lu Lu threw in the middle.
With this jump, the two brothers were like carrots falling upside down. Puffing sounds were heard one after another, and the two of them fell into the mud one after another.
Seeing this scene, Lu Lu, who raised his gun and was about to help them, started laughing.
I originally thought that if one fell in, the other would not be fooled, but I didn't expect that they would both jump in in this way, which would save trouble.
The two jumped into the quagmire. They didn't panic at first. However, when they struggled to climb up to the grass tower not far away, they found that the more they moved, the softer their feet became, and the faster their bodies sank.
Like a bottomless pit.
At that place, Lu Lu tried it with a stick. When he poked it down with a two-meter-long stick, it didn't reach the bottom at all.
The horses were able to pass through it all because of the buoyancy and tension generated by the tangled layers of grass roots. The grass roots were all cut off and cleaned up by Lu Lu, and it was a complete quagmire.
Looking at their sinking bodies, they looked back at the nearest tower head, which was only over one meter to two meters away but was out of reach. The two brothers immediately panicked.
"Lie on your back, don't stand, otherwise you will sink faster." The eldest brother lay on his back on the mud one after another.
"I told you I would be trapped, and you still pushed me, and I got killed by you! What should I do now?" His brother immediately did as he was told.
"Reach out and grab everywhere to see if there are any grass roots or something that you can use to climb out!"
As soon as the older man finished speaking, he suddenly felt his scalp tightening and his hair being pulled by his brother. He was startled and shouted: "What are you going to do?"
