Mountains and seas close at hand

It was getting dark now, and we had just been frightened again.Everyone stood close to each other, fearing that some ghosts and ghosts would appear.

"It's a monkey." Ji Bao suddenly took out a handcuff from his backpack, grabbed the driver's hand, and handcuffed it with a "click".We were all shocked, and the village party secretary stammered, "You you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Bao cuffed the other side of the handcuffs to his hand.She stared at the old man all the time, and said in her mouth: "The village party secretary, the people in your village, please take care of me."

The old man shook his head.

I settled down and looked into the woods carefully.Sure enough, the branches were full of monkeys.It's just because the light in the woods is poor and they don't chatter, so we didn't pay attention at first.

The village party secretary saw us staring at the old man, shaking the handcuffs in his hands, and said impatiently, "What the hell? Old crab, let these ghosts crawl farther away!"

When he said this, the three of us were dumbfounded!

At this moment, the old man let out a series of whistles.I don't care about other things, just go up and kick!The old man obviously didn't expect to be kicked on all fours by me.Just as I was about to step forward to restrain him, the back of my head was convulsed with severe pain, followed by a series of pains in my back and shoulders.

I looked up and realized immediately that the old man gave the macaque an order.Those monkeys had stones in their hands, and they threw them down at us as soon as they heard the order.I don't know how many monkeys there are, but the stone is densely packed like hailstones from the sky.

Ji Bao hit the driver's chest with a reverse elbow, and the driver immediately became a ball of shrimp.Ji Bao immediately pinched his wrist and broke it, and the gun fell from the driver's hand.Ji Bao saw that there were too many monkeys, so he had to shout: "Go to the lake first, don't get too close!"

When she shouted, I had already dragged Miss Bai to the lake.After leaving the woods, I immediately felt relaxed.I took a few low breaths before returning to my senses.I just felt the back of my head hurt like hell, and when I touched it with my hand, it was sticky.

Then Ji Bao dragged the old man out.I saw the old man's eyes closed tightly, as if he had passed out.Seeing that Ji Bao's face turned black, he must have hit hard.

Murder is against the law, so I quickly asked, "He's dead..."

"--boom!"

"what!!!"

There was a scream in the woods, and I trembled in fright.

Ji Bao dropped the old man and rushed back, and I followed closely, rushing to the edge of the forest, but I didn't have the courage to go in after all.At this moment, I heard Miss Bai calling me behind me: "Half smoke!"

When I turned around abruptly, I saw the old man who had just been lying on the ground half dead stood up!

"Old man, we don't want life or money. Why do you want to do this?" I said, reaching into my pocket.There was a hole in the pocket through which the handle of the dagger stuck at the waist protruded.

The old man staggered and stared at us with big eyes: "You guys insisted on coming..."

"Don't talk nonsense to them!" The driver suddenly emerged from the woods behind the old man.It was covered in blood, and there was a half-rotten arm hanging from the handcuffs, dripping with blood.

When I saw him appear, I was in despair—Ji Bao was afraid something was wrong!

"What do you want?" Miss Bai walked up to me.

The driver shook off the handcuffs, and the village secretary's half arm was played like a nunchuck by him.Blood splattered everywhere, and he slowly walked over like a demon crawling out of hell: "I want money and my life!"

Miss Bai put her hands on her shoulders, as calm and calm as if she was negotiating in a shopping mall: "We only have 1000 yuan in cash, and even if we sell things, it will not exceed [-] yuan. I know that if you kill one person, you don't care about killing more. But It’s not worth it, I’m willing to sacrifice my life for money.”

"Money?" The driver suddenly laughed wildly, "Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!"

The driver's laughter was arrogant and conceited, and it made me very uncomfortable to hear it.Miss Bai was stalling for time, but I really couldn't think of any way to subdue this tractor driver.He could only fight for a while, and unexpectedly stabbed him to death with a dagger.

"I know, you have a lot of secrets and a lot of wealth." Miss Bai is really a master, and she won't lose if she loses.In front of the driver's crazily laughing, she was calm and disdainful, "But those can't be directly spent as RMB after all, can they?"

She spread her hands and said indifferently: "As you guessed, we are not from the government, and reporters from TV stations don't carry guns. So we will all keep our mouths shut about dead people. As long as you find an excuse, don't let your village people call the police."

Her voice is not seductive at all, but her words can bewitch people.The driver obviously listened, and he asked, "How much money are you willing to spend?"

"One hundred thousand." Miss Bai stared at him for a moment, and said calmly, "one hundred thousand per person."

The driver was very dissatisfied: "Too little!"

"Yaoer." The old man suddenly said.

"Don't talk!" The driver yelled, and then said to Miss Bai, "One million! One person! If you lose a penny, I will feed you to the turtle spirit!"

How could Miss Bai be intimidated by him? She shook her head and said frankly: "I don't have that much money, even if I promise you, I can't get it out."

The driver was obviously choked. He waved the gun with his hands and asked viciously, "Then how much did you pay?"

"I still have 10,000+ on my card, let's get it together..."

"Not enough! Too little." He pointed a knife at me suddenly, his eyes were almost protruding, "And you! How much money do you have?"

I really don't know the answer, I even bought a snack on the way with the money from Miss Bai.Swallowing my saliva, I said cautiously: "I have no money, I am a salaryman, and I still owe money on my credit card."

......

The driver was probably also angry with me, and cursed a series of dialects, and the stones on the ground were kicked everywhere by him.He came forward with a gun and grabbed my backpack.

Unzipping the zipper and shaking, everything fell to the ground.Not clothes, but food.The driver looked at the pile of things on the ground, his eyes were red with anger.Pointing at me with a gun, that posture will kill me in a second.

The old man stepped forward and grabbed him, and the two quarreled in dialect.I can't understand a word.Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more agitated, I signaled Miss Bai to run quickly, and Miss Bai shook her head very slightly.I think so too, where can we go in this barren mountain?

After the father and son quarreled, they saw us squatting on the ground obediently picking things up.The driver came over to talk to Ms. Bai: "I'll exchange my baby with you, I want 100 million, no, 500 million!"

When Miss Bai heard the words, she pondered for a moment and said: "500 million is too much, I dare not promise, I have to look at things to find out."

"Those are treasures from thousands of years ago!" The driver said excitedly.

I curled my lips: "Qin bricks and Han tiles are also two to three thousand years old. Apart from the value of cultural relics, how much can they be sold for?"

The driver turned his head and glared at me. I know the situation has changed now, and the buyer's market has become a seller's market.Standing up leisurely, patted the dirt on the backpack, and explained to him: "If you are treasures such as Zhou Ding, Han Yu, calligraphy and paintings of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties, and porcelain from the four major official kilns, don't be afraid of it." Say 500 million, I can get you 5000 million, or I will rush to deliver it to you."

The driver didn't speak. Since he was thinking about it, he probably didn't think too much about it. He should know more about the auction price on the surface.

It was supposed to be a life-and-death fight, but now it was fine, and the four of them ate around the campfire.I was worried about Ji Bao, so I asked the driver, but he kept his head down and ate our canned food.My heart went from apprehension to anxiety, and finally to despair.He raised his head and said to me, "Run away."

I didn't have anything to say when I met such a bad guy, I gnawed on the compressed biscuit silently.Originally prepared food for 7 people, but now it is more than enough for 4 people.It's just that the driver took away all the delicious food, and we can only eat roasted glutinous rice cakes with bacon in addition to compressed biscuits.

Naturally, the night was extremely painful, and I had no place to sleep, let alone dared to sleep.What if the lunatic driver suddenly changes his mind?Miss Bai and I exchanged a few words in secret and decided to take turns keeping watch.

This night passed extremely long, I looked at Miss Bai curled up beside me, and felt as if I had passed away.If it wasn't for me, she should be soaking in hot springs in Tengchong now.

Opposite me, the old man was squatting on the ground, the rising flames reflected his old face flickering on and off.

Thousands of years ago, in this land, was there a group of people around a bonfire?They chanted ancient sacrificial words, walked in weird dance steps, and under the leadership of the high priest, they prayed like gods in the sky or devils in the ground.They threw the bound slaves or prisoners of war into the lake, and a huge black shadow rose from the bottom of the lake.The black shadow swallowed the sacrifice in one gulp, no one could see its appearance clearly, only heard a sound...

"—Whoa!"

I woke up suddenly, and saw the old man standing up, knowing that I heard it right, I hurriedly looked towards the sound, and that direction was the lake!

When I saw it, I almost fell to the ground.All I saw was a silver glow on the lake under the moonlight, and a person was walking slowly from the lake.Because it was dark and far away, the facial features were not clear.But looking at the figure, it is Manda!

It has been several hours since Manda was dragged into the lake at this moment, how could it be a living person?

"Manda!" the old man yelled.

The figure didn't respond at all, but both Miss Bai and the driver woke up.

I was afraid that Manda was cheating, he was with the driver.But the driver's performance was obviously also very scared, he asked the old man in a low voice: "Abba, Wang doesn't like Manda?"

The old man said tremblingly: "It's not the king, it's the bieling...Bieling wants more food!"

Although Manda walked slowly, she was above the water above her knees and would be in front of us in a short while.I heard the father and son still babbling, and I couldn't help being anxious, and asked in a low voice: "What should I do!"

The father and son didn't speak, and Miss Bai picked up the backpack: "Let's avoid it first."

I don't know how this sentence stimulated the driver, so he rushed forward with the gun in hand, and the old man followed closely.It was half a meter long, and it was so sharp that it shone coldly in the moonlight.Facing the manda who didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost, he just chopped it down with a knife!

Manda refused to evade, and shot out a string of black sand with his mouth.The accident happened so suddenly that the driver had no time to hide. Fortunately, the old man pushed behind him violently.The driver staggered out of the way, and all the black sand hit the old man.The old man convulsed like an electric shock and fell to the ground with a thump.

This series of events took less than 10 seconds, and I couldn't react in my mind at all, and I was at a loss for what to do.
