After completing the binding, Xu Enping smiled at everyone and said: "I'm used to it. The road signs made by others may not be reliable, but the road signs made by myself will definitely be pleasing to the eye."
"Okay." Gu Chen expressed his understanding and continued: "We can move forward now."
No one said anything. Being able to walk out of the cave was a victory in itself.
Originally, everyone had been walking in the cave for a long time, and the psychological burden was heavy.
But now we can breathe the fresh air outside, which is a physical relief for everyone.
Therefore, everyone is walking much faster than before.
Keep walking along the narrow road, or in other words, this is not a road at all.
However, many of the vegetation have been broken due to being walked over.
But these all provide the Gu Chen team with a basis for searching.
Everyone only needs to follow the traces and keep moving forward to find the relevant people.
"You guys continue to look over here." Gu Chen pointed to a bend in the water behind.
Because it is an uphill section, and the rocks outside are relatively loose, it would be unsafe to walk on it.
After finishing his words, Xu Enping continued to observe the hanging coffin under the cliff on the left, and then said:
"Like in the early years, it may have been hundreds of years earlier, or maybe not even in the next thousand years. At this time, there were not some ancient people who went to rock climbing in order to survive."
But when Xiaojia rowed all the way back, he discovered that the canyon terrain ended on both sides.
"Yes." After Xu Enping finished speaking, Gu Chen also said quickly:
"That big raft can probably carry at least eight people at a time. You don't have seven people now. Your plan is to keep two of them first and eight of them to explore the way behind."
Xiaojia just turned a corner in the river and discovered that there was no open space on the right side of the river.
So Xiaojia continued walking out, and finally, with a little effort, he came to the edge of the river.
"What? Hanging coffin?" When Luo Fabin heard the word "hanging coffin", his heart skipped a beat. How could it be possible?
"In this household circle of yours, you are basically just hiding things. For example, no one has been anywhere else? The other party will definitely share it proactively."
"Of course, let's check it first." Luo Fa was still more cautious. He had some confidence in whether that kind of raft could carry people.
Officer Wang turned around and asked hurriedly: "What do you mean?"
"Teacher Xu." Gu Chen turned around and glanced at Lu Weiwei, who was at the front of the team and trying her best to hurry, and asked, "Is he familiar with that place?"
Before going uphill continuously, Gu Chen gradually discovered that there was no river nearby.
"Of course." Lu Weiwei also expected.
"Lost? Not necessarily?" Xu Enping questioned.
"No one turned that place into a secret base. You must be careful."
"It's impossible." Xu Enping also nodded silently and said, "But if you walk up like that, you can only reach the edge of the river."
For an explorer, that was definitely something worth being happy about, but Gu Chen was not in the mood.
After all, these are all experiments done by households, and Xiaojia already knows about them.
"There is a problem." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Xiaojia all expressed whether there was a problem.
Lu Weiwei, on the other hand, was very surprised: "The terrain of the river in the primeval forest is very unique. The worst they can do is to enter the water without permission."
"Besides, there are always many swallows hovering above your heads. It seems that the ancients must have mastered that kind of rock climbing technology. There are really many bird's nests to be found."
Since the body of a guide had been found in the cave, everyone became very cautious while searching for the other two people.
"Since you can find a hanging coffin in that place, you can be sure that the surrounding area is not on the bank of the river. If there are not some hidden primitive villages."
"Looking for bird's nests is a way of making a living for us, but no one has ever laid a coffin for the deceased."
"That's wrong. There is a river in a place like that. And depending on the situation, it seems like no one has ever set foot in that river." Gu Chen said.
"Yes, if it must be that kind of terrain, it would be strange at all."
Speaking of that, Lu Weiwei didn't seem to be excited yet.
Yuan Shasha on the side reminded: "Should you take a raft and go to the other side of the river to have a look?"
Coming up from the mountain, there are wild roads all the way.
"Let's go and have a look before we talk." Gu Chen couldn't be vague about the specific situation. He could only make plans before going up the mountain.
That makes the river water look very green.
The narrowness of the river is not fixed, sometimes it is narrow and sometimes it is wide.
But he found that the depth of the river was far beyond his imagination, so he quickly reminded everyone:
"But at this time, I am not going to get four-pack abs, but looking for bird's nests."
"Looking at this wood, it seems that not many years have passed. It doesn't look old."
Basically, some thick tree trunks are used and then tied together with ropes to form a raft.
But even though it is complicated, judging from the overall condition of the raft, it is quite professionally made.
"Teacher Xu, you often hang out in the inner circle of your household. Has anyone outside your inner circle posted photos and videos from there?"
Standing on the mountain here, you can overlook most of the virgin forest.
So a comprehensive inspection of the raft was carried out.
"Seclusion?" Hearing that, Xu Enping frowned slightly and continued:
But I had thought that no one had ever lived outside.
"Of course you are vague about that. After all, there may be very few microorganisms and bacteria outside, and it is drinkable after filtering or not." Yuan Shasha couldn't help but replied.
After finishing speaking, Luo Fabin continued to remind: "By the way, you must drink the water from the river outside."
In the open space, there seems to be a primitive village.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So Gu Chen quickly observed for seven weeks and found that the river was a river that existed in the primeval forest, almost isolated from the world.
After hearing what Luo Fabin said, Xiaojia immediately turned his attention to the bottom of the cliff on the left.
It must be said that it is difficult to find the other party's footprints in the cave, but there are traces of the other party's passing everywhere outside.
"Due to some customs, villagers in many places will lower their coffins before they die, and then people who are good at climbing will move the coffins to mid-air on the cliff."
Officer Wang continued to walk down the next few steps and used a wooden stick to push it upward. Only then did Xiaojia realize that the river water at this time had completely submerged the wooden stick.
Of course, Lu Weiwei was also afraid that Xiaojia was too vague, but very slowly, Luo Fabin pointed to a nearby direction and said: "There doesn't seem to be anything here."
"It's indeed nothing strange." Lu Weiwei nodded silently and said with some reason:
And Lu Weiwei was instantly pulled to the front row of the team by Xiaojia. This made Lu Weiwei, who had been weak all her life, not embarrassed and could only catch up with the team slowly.
"Is that a ghost village? Why is there no one there?" Luo Fabin observed the village on the shore. He seemed to be extremely self-conscious and unsure of himself.
After a pause, Yuan Shasha turned to look at Luo Fabin and asked curiously:
Without the body in the cave, Gu Chen is now very sensitive to everything.
"Because there is an underground river in that kind of cave, and the inside of the underground river leads to other areas outside the mountain."
"It's just that that tradition hasn't passed for many years, so maybe in that place, no one will live in seclusion here in a few years."
"No wonder you just came all the way from here. All you smelled was the smell of swallow shit."
"That's it." After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Xu Enping also sighed:
"So deep? The gap is so small?" Xu Enping also looked surprised.
"We are going up, you must find us as soon as possible." Gu Chen said.
It was only then that I discovered that there was a piece of wood hanging under a certain location on the cliff.
After saying that, Officer Wang used the wooden stick in his hand to conduct an experiment on Xiaojia: "They saw that the shore is very shallow. Even if you push the wooden stick to the bottom, it is not that deep."
For a jungle expert like Gu Chen, this is undoubtedly a great help.
"It seems that no one is active outside, and there are only one or two people there."
However, Gu Chen's team is all very skilled, and when faced with that kind of steep mountain road, Xiaojia feels like walking on flat ground.
"Yes." Seeing that Gu Chen and Luo Fabin were discussing that issue, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but remind her:
"According to legend, it was the way some ancient people were buried before they died. Even in your Jiangnan City, there was no such tradition very early on."
"It's a raft." Luo Fa also saw it, and Shiyou exclaimed: "It turned out to be a simple raft."
So according to Gu Chen's arrangement, Luo Fa, Xu Enping and Lu Weiwei took a raft and ended up walking along the river.
If you are not careful, you may fall off the cliff.
…
At this moment, before Gu Chen came to the side of the raft, he realized that it was just a complicated raft.
But when rowing to a water area, Xu Enping suddenly looked at the cliff and exclaimed: "Look, there is nothing under this cliff."
Beside the river, there are some strange plants growing.
"But now it seems that Yuan actually came to the outside, and it leads all the way from this mysterious cave to the outside."
"And the village you set out from is next to a river, isn't it? It's definitely not the upper reaches of that river."
"It's not necessary in the future. Another person will come back with a paddle to help the other two people."
This made Luo Fabin feel frightened, so he said: "Oh my god, why is there a hanging coffin outside?"
"But that kind of technology has not been lost a long time ago."
"It's also convenient for me to check in, but no one has even mentioned that place, let alone sharing it."
"But it's easy to get there," Officer Wang said.
But at this time, Lu Weiwei pointed to the cliff on the left and said: "They think it is a typical hanging coffin. You have seen it in many places. It is different from that kind of structure."
"So this is where it is?" Xu Enping couldn't help sighing when he saw all this.
The oars for rowing are recommended to be made of wood and are also readily available.
After a pause, Lu Weiwei continued: "To be honest, the commercial value of developing outdoor hiking routes is not small."
"Because a small number of people are completing it, but at the same time, those people are sharing it. You think we must treat it as a secret base, and we want to be known by people inside."
But Gu Chen shook his head and said Youfen: "You are too vague about that, but you know, we don't have our own way."
At this time, Gu Chen also discovered that the buildings outside were very primitive and seemed to be dilapidated.
"Yes." Lu Weiwei also nodded silently, and said by surprise: "It seems that it should be a few years later, but that requires professionals to move the coffin down the side of the cliff."
Xu Enping didn't care too much at this time and hurriedly followed Luo Fa.
This shocked everyone present.
Because the person he was looking for was still missing, Gu Chen just hoped to find Xu Yaxuan slowly.
I don’t know how long we walked, but everyone passed through several small caves and came to an open area.
But Luo Fabin continued to explain: "He still doesn't believe that that kind of technology is actually a tool for making a living for the ancients."
After a while, Xiaojia really discovered that everything Lu Weiwei said was wrong.
"Did he mean this river?" Lu Weiwei also saw the river and hurriedly walked over and asked.
"Because in a place like that, there won't be many swallows coming to build nests there."
"We can definitely say that the hanging coffin is real. This really shows that no one lived there many years ago."
Officer Wang walked to the river and looked left and right, so I broke a branch next to it and reached back into the river to test.
Yuan Shasha also lamented: "There is no simple raft in that place, which shows that no one was active there after that, and they also brought special tools."
After confirming that the raft cannot carry people, the raft is towed to the shore.
"I was able to see the lowland in the forest from a long distance before, but I just didn't pay enough attention at the time."
I originally thought that it would be very easy for outdoor hikers, especially experienced outdoor hikers, to get there.
So Gu Chen just agreed and continued walking towards the back.
"How did you move this down? The coffin is very heavy." Xu Enping also looked curious.
"Especially in that place, because the mountain road is difficult to walk, many senior family members dare not go too far when they come there, instead of just wandering around the far side of the village."
Especially the many things that appeared outside were supposed to appear, which subverted my previous understanding.
"So judging from the topography, the rivers in the mountains will eventually stay towards the mountains."
"Even the materials of the raft can be obtained, which shows that the other party brought some professional tools." Xu Enping said.
"Bad." Luo Fabin nodded silently and continued rowing hard with Xiaojia.
"The small home is too close to the river, so the drop outside is very small."
