When we got off the bus, we found that we had no idea where we were. The surroundings were deserted, and there was a forest in front of us, but it didn't feel like a paradise with beautiful scenery.
There is a rotten smell on the ground, which is the smell of grass piled up and rotten. There is a thick layer of rotten grass on the ground. When you step on it, it feels soft, like you are stepping on a pile of feces.
People feel uncomfortable all over. The so-called fallen leaves return to their roots. Because of these rotten grasses, the new grass grows extremely lush. From a distance, it looks like floating reeds.
At this time, there were actually five roads to go. In fact, for a long distance ahead, we had no roads. We followed the paths made by herdsmen here to graze their animals. Until now, there were no paths at all. This shows that
, we have arrived at a place that is usually uninhabited.
Zhao Dakui took the map, looked at it for a long time, and then directed us: Now that we have abandoned the car, we must drive through the forest in front and set up camp.
At this time, our team can be clearly divided into three groups. Zhao Dakui's group is all wearing sportswear. It looks like they have prepared equipment for the expedition in advance. Zheng Bishan, the master and the apprentice, are all wearing casual clothes.
, rather like tourists out for an outing, and Lao Zhu and I, including Buck Teeth Si and the other three, were wearing dark green camouflage uniforms, which looked particularly eye-catching. Now Zhao Dakui was looking at the map, and I was looking at it.
He went up and said: Is this map pointing to the real Mausoleum of Emperor Qin?
Zhao Dakui nodded, closed the map, and asked: Is something wrong?
I smiled and said: It's okay. Is this map accurate? It's in the wilderness, so don't mislead us. And, do you have a copy of your map? Let my buddy take a look at it too?
Zhao Dakui glanced at me and said nothing, but he looked at the woods and thought a little. Finally he said: I will show you again tonight and remind your friends that the woods are not peaceful.
Experienced herbicide farmers dare not enter this forest.
I said without thinking: Zhao Dakui, don't talk to me about anything. What's so scary about the things on the ground? I know better than you what will happen in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. You have to tell me now.
Yes, where is this place? Where did the map in your hand come from?
After Zhao Dakui set off this time, his whole body seemed to be very calm. He no longer had the anger in the past, and his whole person became calm. As I said before, there is a type of people who suddenly get their own sky.
That self-confidence is like a wolf that is holding back and is unpredictable.
He said calmly: Believe it or not. But we must pass through the woods in front of us before dark today, otherwise we will have to wait until tomorrow. We must not stay in there overnight.
After saying that, he ignored me, called his people, put his equipment on his back from the trunk and walked towards the woods. Of course his people followed closely. Zheng Bishan and I looked at each other, and he shrugged.
He said that there was nothing he could do. The situation was so urgent that there was nothing we could do if we didn't follow them closely. So we also picked up our equipment and followed them from a distance.
Stepping on the rotten grass on the ground, I smelled the disgusting rotten smell, which made me miss the cleanliness and comfort of the city. I looked at the woods in front of me and asked Zhu Kaihua, who was walking beside me: Do you think there are people in these woods?
What the hell? I think Zhao Dakui is not bluffing. Are there rice dumplings on the ground?
Lao Zhu rolled his eyes at me and said: I really don’t know what you are thinking. Do you think only zongzi is dangerous? Let me tell you, in this inaccessible place, the dangers are no less than underground, not to mention poisonous snakes, wild beasts, and wolves.
That’s it, let’s just say that there are unknown bugs born in such rotten grass in such an environment. Maybe it looks like a mosquito, and if it bites you, you will die. I said, since we have followed you,
You should stop being angry with Zhao Dakui. It is not a wise idea to fight with him now.
I nodded, knowing what Lao Zhu meant. It was still the same sentence. In this form, who would let people know more than us?
Walking through the grass and slowly walking into the woods, at this time, it is rare to see woods of this size. Only in this kind of place can you see a few people hugging big trees, and you can see them everywhere.
There are wild flowers and weeds whose names we don’t recognize.
Zhao Dakui walked a few steps and drew a mark on the tree with his dagger. Lao Zhu saw it and said with a smile: It seems that this Zhao Dakui is not a simple person. Have you seen it? He carved the mark on the book because he was afraid of it.
We got lost in the woods.
I scoffed at this, but I didn't say anything in the end. From the bottom of my heart, I was convinced by Zhao Dakui's recent calm performance, which indeed showed his leadership aura.
We just hurried on with our heads down in silence. In this forest, let alone rice dumplings, I didn't even see a damn ant, not even a bird. I was puzzled. I was originally thinking,
I have a gun in my hand. I want to hunt a wild beast in the woods and taste the game I have shot with my own hands.
But except for me, everyone else hurried on in a deep voice, as if they were serious.
I don't know if you have ever felt this way.
A group of people are doing a very boring thing. You feel bored and look around, but you find that the people around you seem to be very serious.
You want to talk to someone, but find it embarrassing to bother others.
But if you don't speak, you are really bored.
When you are bored, you just think, if others are so serious, what are they thinking about at this moment?
The more you think about it, the more bored you become. At that moment, you are out of tune with the whole world and a completely boring person.
This person is who I am now. So I just walked around and looked around, all kinds of boring and painful. Most of the books in the woods were old, towering and blocking out the sun. It was better at the beginning, but when I got deeper, I only felt like day and night.
Upside down, vision is blurred.
I was wandering around with my flashlight, and suddenly I spotted a small tree. It was bare.
Wrong, it's not a small tree, it's a tree that has been dead for who knows how many years. What's strange is that in front of this tree, there is another similar bare tree.
After walking a few more steps, another tree appeared, again in a row.
Trees, dead or dead in a row?
I couldn't help but take a closer look, Damn, these are not trees! They are telephone poles! Between two adjacent trees, there is a rotten wire hanging there, like a spider's thread.
After discovering this situation, I quickly called them loudly to come and take a look. Even Zheng Bishan scratched his head after looking at it. These trees were cut down and used as telegraph poles. I don't know how long it took, and the entire tree body was rotten to the point of disgrace.
And it appeared very suddenly. When we first entered the woods, there was absolutely no such thing.
The first one suddenly appeared, and then I discovered the row behind it. Others may not have noticed it, but being bored, I would definitely not have mistaken it.
Although this thing is very ordinary, it is like a treasure now, because traces of human activities were found in this place. We walked along the telephone poles tacitly. Everyone wanted to know where these wires were.
