More than ten corpses lay scattered on the ground. In addition, many of them did not have complete corpses, so the smell of blood in the vicinity was very heavy. Fortunately, the environment here was a little tropical rainforest. There were many swamp snakes and insects. The corpses should return to the embrace of nature soon after being left here.
Zhou Ze and lawyer an were not interested in knowing the identity of this group of people. They came out because they had something to do. The reason why they got rid of them was not because they hated evil and wanted to lighten the burden of the border guards or increase the safety of the people of the motherland.
It was purely because the muzzle of one of the idiots was too accurate,
A stray bullet almost killed lawyer an.
Xu Qinglang took out a mineral water from his backpack and began to wash his hands.
Zhou Ze looked at the corpse and picked up a pistol. Zhou Ze did not know what model it was, and no one in the team knew about it either. He found the bullets and threw the gun to Yingying, asking her to clean it up. He just wanted to keep it as a souvenir.
After some preparations, everyone set off again.
In fact, they were not far from the place they wanted to go, but there were no means of transportation here. They could only walk forward. The road was extremely muddy and difficult to walk on, so they naturally could not speed up.
At the same time,
There were leeches hidden in the branches and leaves that people passed by. As long as people touched the branches, they would immediately jump out and directly burrow into your clothes.
When this thing sucked your blood, you would not feel it at first. Therefore, many inexperienced people who entered this kind of rainforest would often wait until they sat down to rest against a tree before they realized that their backs were full of leeches that were swollen from sucking.
Yingying was not afraid of these, but the other three men had to worry more because of this. This was considered a biological weapon, and talisman paper and talisman water were ineffective against them.
Murderous aura or demonic aura were effective, but they could not keep releasing it as they walked forward, right?
This big guy was not a perpetual motion machine.
Walk and stop, stop and stop,
When night fell again..,
Lawyer an probed again and again,
Then he let out a long sigh of relief,
He said that he had arrived at his destination.
There was no five-star apartment deep in the mountains in the destination,
There was no smoke curling up from the kitchen and a table of good food,
In fact..,
The destination..,
Was a mountain range that stretched for hundreds of miles..
Savage Mountain!
"What a good place. Back then, Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times here."
Lawyer an chuckled,
Then, he casually removed a leech that had just attached itself to his arm and threw it away.
Because it had just landed on the leech, it hadn't had time to break the skin and suck blood, so it was easy to remove. Otherwise, when it started sucking blood, it wouldn't be easy to remove it.
Actually..,
Savage Mountain was also very famous in the country, but it was completely different from Shennongjia, which was famous for its savages in the past.
Lawyer An's words were actually still according to his previous intentions. There were some words that he could know in his heart, but he could not say them out loud.
Zhou Ze glanced at Lawyer An and retorted,
"When Zhuge Liang led his army out of Chengdu to quell the rebellion, he only fought as far as Kunming. How could he possibly run all the way here?"
The romance of a novel and history are two things that are easily confused together.
However..,
Savage Mountain had indeed been part of China in history, but due to a series of upheavals in recent times, much of the original territory had been lost, leaving behind many territorial disputes.
It could only be said that the ancestors were too good at fighting, and the family business was huge.
In his next life, Sun Tainiao was too useless and couldn't protect it.
"Why are you being serious? There's no point in being serious."
Lawyer An didn't mind. He looked at the sky and said, "Let's rest here tonight. We'll go in tomorrow. There are still some things that need to be prepared before we go in."
Next, it was time to set up camp.
Tents and a series of camping equipment were all brought. Yingying was very strong. She carried a lot of things alone, but she wasn't tired at all.
Xu Qinglang began to cook. The conditions here were limited, and no one was interested in hunting or eating game. Therefore, cooking was nothing more than noodles and vegetable soup.
Lawyer An went outside to chop down a lot of tree branches and came back. After cutting them flat, he took out leather paper and candles from his backpack. After dinner, he sat there and busied himself with the work at hand.
Zhou Ze, on the other hand, went back to the tent and slept with Yingying. Perhaps it was because he was worried about entering the mountain after daybreak, he woke up not long after he slept.
When he came out of the tent, Zhou Ze saw Lawyer An still sitting there busy, guarding the bonfire in front of him. Xu Qinglang had already gone to rest.
"What's this for? A lantern?"
Zhou Ze pointed at the completed "Work" that Lawyer An had placed in front of him.
There were five lanterns, and there were candles placed inside. They were red and white, and the candles were all pewter.
Lawyer An was making the sixth lantern. Most of the materials were from the ones he had brought with him in his backpack. Only the tree branches were from the local area.
"Ugh..."
Lawyer An stretched lazily,
He yawned,
He nodded,
"Yes, lanterns."
Zhou Ze poured a glass of water from the thermos cup and drank it slowly. He looked at the valley in front of him and said,
"Isn't this thing a little too big?"
In this life,
Zhou Ze had experienced a relatively big scene,
The three villages were one,
The little boy's underground cave was also one,
But compared to the two waiting for him in front of him after dawn,
Everything else was nothing to him.
Lawyer An picked up the super domineering cup beside him,
He gulped down a few mouthfuls of coffee,
He smacked his lips,
He looked at Zhou Ze,
He smiled:
"Boss, are you afraid?"
Zhou Ze shook his head. "I just don't want any more accidents. Everyone came out together, so we have to go back safely together."
Lawyer An opened his mouth. He wanted to say that his boss shouldn't be so soft-hearted, but when he thought that he was also his subordinate, there was no need for him to persuade his boss not to care about his life, so he didn't say anything.
Tonight, there were no stars, which meant that the weather tomorrow would not be very good.
Lawyer An finally finished making all seven lanterns. They were not considered big. Two relatively thick wooden sticks hooked three lanterns on each side. There was a vine in the middle of the two wooden sticks, and there was also one hanging on it.
One person could lift them all. This posture was a little like a sedan chair bearer carrying a sedan chair.
When everything was ready..,
Lawyer An took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Zhou Ze, and helped Zhou Ze light it up.
"It's not a bad thing that he's asleep. At least, you're more urgent than before, boss."
Zhou Ze shook his head indifferently, exhaled a smoke ring, and denied:
"It's not just that I'm afraid of death. When he was around, although I used his strength a lot of times, the worst outcome was that he swallowed me.
Now that he's gone, the worst-case scenario is that I'll have to die with him. It's a real death, a permanent end. "
"Hehe, a man with a family is indeed different."
Lawyer An joked.
Zhou Ze lowered his head and took a sip of water.
In the past few days, he had been wondering why he had agreed to Lawyer An's suggestion and traveled thousands of miles to come here.
The destruction of the study room due to the explosion was just an excuse.
He was a lazy person, a lazy person to the bone.
He had thought about this question for a long time, but he still could not think of an answer.
Was it because of the iron fool's deep sleep?
Was it because of the Mount Tai in the depths of his soul?
Perhaps..,
What Lawyer An had just said was right.
When he was alone, he could eat his fill and the whole family was not hungry. It did not matter if he was exiled or drifted with the flow.
However, when he was still responsible for others, he was too embarrassed to continue lying there and basking in the sun.
In his previous life, he was an orphan. He worked hard to live and work hard for himself. In this life, he slacked off.
He had no relatives and had never been married. To be exact, other than his own patients, Zhou Ze did not know what the so-called "Responsibility" meant.
"Boss, sometimes I envy you." Lawyer An took another big gulp of coffee and wiped the corners of his eyes.
The expired Nestle instant coffee was drunk by him like Maotai.
"When I was a constable, I had five subordinates under me. Four of them died, and only Feng Si'er was left alive.
Hehe..,
It wasn't very glorious..,
Those four people were all killed in an accident to satisfy my ambition.
"When I was alive, I was a rich young master. When I died and became a ghost, I also wanted to be a 'Superior Man'.
"So, after Feng Si'er betrayed me, I hated him at first, but slowly, I didn't hate him anymore."
"Coffee can get drunk?"
Zhou Ze became a killer who broke the refreshing atmosphere.
"Hehe."
Lawyer An raised his head and said, "Boss, there are some things that I shouldn't say. I know that you won't listen to me even if I say them, but I still have to say them. If I don't say them, I won't feel comfortable.
"I don't hate Feng Si'er, but I never think that I did anything wrong. As a superior, don't take the lives of his subordinates too seriously."
As he said that..,
Lawyer An moved closer to Zhou Ze and stared into Zhou Ze's eyes. He said very seriously,
"Because, including me, you actually don't know what everyone wants, and you don't know what kind of thoughts are buried in our hearts.
The value has been squeezed out..,
Damn it..,
Just die..,
So that it won't become a problem in the future. "
"You're really drunk."
Zhou Ze reached out and patted Lawyer An's shoulder.
"Yes, yes, I'm drunk."
The two men stopped talking,
The night breeze brought coolness and silence.
They sat together just like that,
Smoking one cigarette at a time,
Unknowingly..,
The sky was already slowly brightening,
Zhou Ze's guess was right,
The weather today was not very good,
Because waves of fog had already risen from the surrounding forest. Even the Savage Mountain Range in front of them was shrouded by the fog, making it look like a dream.
Xu Qinglang and Yingying also came out of their tents. Everyone had breakfast together.
After dinner,
Lawyer An stood up,
He loosened his muscles and bones,
Then, he turned to face Zhou Ze and pointed at the Savage Mountain Range behind him,
He shouted at Zhou Ze,
"Boss, I've said it before. There are some things that might not work if you say them. Actually, it's meaningless if you say them.
You've forgotten that I brought you here to be promoted to constable,
You only need to remember,
More than seventy years ago,
More than forty thousand soldiers who had fought for the country stayed on the way home,
They had waited here for more than seventy years,
Today,
Ask the boss to lead them out of this Savage Mountain,
Lead them,
