Mountains and seas close at hand

Ji Bao was soundly asleep in the back, Miss Bai sat in the co-pilot, and I drove with all my concentration.

It was already out of Tianquan County at this moment, and the road was dark and sloppy on both sides.The car was on high beams, and the road was covered with gravel that had slid down the mountain on one side and a cliff on the other.I don't know how long I drove, but a truck drove over from a distance, and I felt that this place is a bit popular.

"Please go straight, enter the Shanghai-Nie line, and drive for 96.5 kilometers." A mechanical female voice came from the Bluetooth headset.

"There are still 2 hours." I said to Miss Bai, "Go to sleep for a while."

"I'm sleepy in a meeting alone." She replied softly.

I'm actually quite embarrassed that the vacation she took so hard to get wasted like this.Followed me to this remote village, and was not allowed to sleep in the middle of the night, so I could only rest in the car.

I looked in the mirror and was taken aback.The big truck that had just passed by had disappeared, leaving only the darkness like black ink behind the car.

Maybe it turned a corner, so I couldn't see it.

I comforted myself silently, and looked at Ji Bao who was grinding his teeth in the back seat.It's unbelievable that she was fooling her into this ghostly place, and she brought Miss Bai with her.

After finally getting to the county hotel, the door was closed tightly.We knocked on the door and called for someone, and we didn't go to bed until three o'clock.The environment of the hotel is better than expected, not only hot water, but also WiFi, TV, and air conditioning.

The breakfast is eaten directly in the hotel, and the taste is not satisfactory.

I glanced at several backpackers carrying large and small bags, and asked in a low voice, "Where are we going after eating?"

Ji Bao ate the bean curd without raising his eyelids: "Walk around."

I found that whenever there was an outsider, Ji Bao seemed to be a different person.Never speak loudly, never say a word more, never speak clearly.

She took out the backpack from the back of the pickup, and our group looked like ordinary tourists.From Luding County to the village by car, my buttocks were numb from the old bus.

"Why don't you drive here?" I complained.

Ji Bao leaned at me with a look of stupidity on his face.Miss Bai whispered in my ear: "The three of us don't have boys, so it's better to keep a low profile."

The huffing and breathing made my ears itchy, I smiled and said, "Be careful that you are left in the village as a daughter-in-law."

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a slight smile, "I can't lift my hands on my shoulders, I can't do farm work, and I can't cook."

"You look good!" I blurted out.

Ji Bao snorted coldly at the side, and a thousand-speaking eyes drifted over.

I let out a dry cough and imitated Miss Bai to close my eyes and rest.The old bus was swaying, driving along the rugged mountain road, and the compartment was filled with various smells.Maybe because of running around all night, I was drowsy.The scene in the dream flashed before my eyes like a silent film.I suddenly felt a weight on my shoulders, and I was shocked for a moment.Opening his eyes and looking down, a small black hand appeared on his shoulder.

When it happened suddenly, all the hairs on my face stood on end.The cold air rushed from the soles of the feet to the top of the sky, and the heart was beating wildly.

Biting the tip of her tongue, she turned her head vigorously and saw a middle-aged woman holding a child.It should be a local, with a plateau red complexion.The kid grinned at me, and I was too embarrassed to get angry.Secretly heaving a sigh of relief, he took out a piece of white rabbit toffee from his bag and handed it to him.

"Thank you, Ba Le, thank you." The old woman spoke blunt Mandarin, which I could barely understand.

When we arrived in the village, we found a small restaurant to eat something casually, and the price was not cheap.According to the clues left by the rabbit, we found a car and went to Jindong Village.After inquiring for a long time, I found a tractor back to Jindong Village.

Farm tractors leave the road and drive on rough mountain roads.No human habitation, only earth hills.Occasionally, there are a few houses on a certain hill, not to mention the metropolis, even compared with Luding County in the morning, it is a world of difference.

"Did Rabbit say who he's coming to connect with?"

The sound of the tractor was too loud, and Ji Bao looked at me blankly, so I had to repeat it loudly.

The tractor stopped suddenly, and the driver jumped out and stood on the side of the road watching us.The driver was a young man whose facial features did not look like Han Chinese.In his subtle expression, I felt as if I missed something.

Ji Bao sat on the edge of the tractor, smiling brightly at the driver: "Brother, do you know rabbits?"

The driver shook his head, Ji Bao took out his mobile phone and poked it, and handed it to him: "Brother, take a look, this is the man who came to your place a few days ago. Have you seen him?"

The driver looked carefully for a while, raised his head to look at us, and nodded without saying a word.I was overjoyed in my heart. Although I haven't found anyone yet, at least I found the right place.

"Brother, we are reporters of CCTV's science and education program. This is my ID." Ji Bao naturally took out a press card from his small satchel, "Our TV station is going to shoot a documentary about Qiang-Tibetan culture. Let us, He is an advance reporter. He is responsible for going to various villages to find valuable songs, legends, relics, cultural relics, customs and traditions, etc. Rabbit is in charge of Jindong Village, and he reported to the organization the day before yesterday. He said that there are historically valuable Ruins, the leader asked me to send the three of us here. Alas, we were supposed to sit in the rear.”

I listened to her running the train with her mouth full, and her whole body was not well.Hearing her pause at this moment, she answered with a tacit understanding: "That's right, we are not afraid of suffering, but it is inconvenient for girls to go to the mountains and the countryside. Fortunately, Director Chen said that he will send someone to pick us up when we go back." Said It made me believe it was true, and I had a lot of confidence.

After hearing what we said, the driver said, "I've seen him for 3 or 4 days...he came with someone."

Ji Bao asked: "Who are you following?"

The driver said: "An old man in the village, but I haven't seen him for several days. Maybe he went into the mountain with your friends."

The driver continued to drive, and the three of us sat on the tractor and looked at each other.

I was a little apprehensive.

You must know some villages in remote mountainous areas, far away from modern civilization.The law is there, beyond reach.I really don't want to put Miss Bai in such danger.Of course, I was terrified myself.The news of abducting women keeps coming one after another.Usually, I can't hide in time, but now I still have the posture of throwing myself into a trap.

Ji Bao was calm and unhurried, playing with his phone with his head down.But I obviously misunderstood her, and she fiddled with it for a while before handing over the phone.

I looked down, and it said: There is something wrong with this big-eyed driver!Even lying would not be a bald man.However, if there are seventeen or eight old men carrying benches and brooms in this ravine, there are no shops in the back and no villages. We should stop eating as soon as we touch them.

I managed to read the sentence without punctuation and found it was all nonsense.I guess I was too suffocated, and I got addicted to typing with my mobile phone.I simply deleted the last paragraph and handed it to Miss Bai.

Ji Bao took out a few things from his bag and handed them over.Two GPS sports watches, two daggers, and two distress whistles.

Although I know in my heart, these things are just better than nothing.But after putting it on, I feel a lot more at ease.I chatted with Ji Bao and Miss Bai about the Qiang-Tibetan culture.Ji Bao sometimes made a few sentences, which were all hearsay and rumors.Miss Bai listened very attentively, and occasionally asked thoughtfully.

When he arrived at Jindong Village, Ji Bao went directly to the village head, took out a bunch of documents and tricked the village cadres into living there.The village party secretary was very polite and wanted to clean up the dust for us.Ji Bao took out 200 yuan and handed it to him, saying that the unit is disciplined, and this is the food expenses for the three of us.

I cursed in my heart, these tomb robbers are really shameless.

Ji Bao and the village cadres used the cliché, I simply took Miss Bai out for a stroll, which was out of sight and out of mind.The villagers in Jindong Village do not live together, and most of them are surrounded by farmland.Some even have a family and a mountain.

We had dinner at the village secretary's house, and the food was good.Stewed bacon with bamboo shoots, roast chicken with sauerkraut, potato and mushroom soup, and two fried wild vegetables.The portion is huge, and there are two servings of meat dishes. I think 200 yuan is enough for a meal.

In addition to the village party secretary's family, the driver and his father ate together.After dinner, the village party secretary asked the driver to take us to his house to sleep, saying that he had the best conditions.Take a look at the two earthen houses of the village secretary's house. Even if you don't want to go to the driver's house, we can't force you to stay.

The condition of the driver's house is indeed much better, at least the three of us can squeeze into one bed.

The driver's father brought in a clay pot, and the old man was very polite: "There are many bugs in the mountains, and the children may not be used to it, so it's fine at this point."

I took a look, and there were some dead grass leaves inside.There is a piece of charcoal in the middle, and the dry grass leaves emit a faint fragrance, which smells very comfortable.

It is probably a folk remedy in the mountains, so I quickly thanked him.The old man nodded at me and walked out slowly.Not to mention, the driver and his father looked quite alike, both with big eyes and hooked noses.

Miss Bai walked to the clay pot, probed and smelled it.

Miss Bai said in a low voice: "This is a soothing herb that will make people sleep soundly. Well, our company used to be very popular. Someone gave me a pack of it. It works very well when I suffer from insomnia."

From what she said, this thing is definitely not an insect repellant.I'm afraid the old man has no good intentions, so why don't we let us sleep a little bit more, so that we don't feel bitten by mosquitoes?

I proposed to leave immediately, but Ji Bao disagreed.He took out something from his bag and handed it to me, it was similar to a disposable raincoat.I opened it and saw that it was a soft rubber gas mask, and the whole head could fit inside it.

Although the gas mask is good, if the opponent comes prepared, there may be another trick.I was flustered and wanted to struggle again, when Ji Bao took out a long gun from his bag.

It was a semi-old shotgun, with medals written all over the body of the gun.However, the sound of pushing the bullet into the chamber was like the gate of the vault being closed, which made people breathe a sigh of relief.

I can't control whether she breaks the law or not, safety comes first.

After checking the doors and windows, we lay down with our clothes on and waited for the drivers to come in.I was nervous and scared, and I didn't know whether the gas mask was ineffective, or I was so sleepy that I fell asleep in a daze.

——"Plop!"

I woke up with a start, and suddenly rolled over and sat up.

I saw the driver and his father with their hands raised high and their legs trembling.On the ground in front of them was our luggage and a machete.

"Girl, spare me! I say, we say it all!"
