The fat man thought my statement was very mysterious, but he also admitted that this was the only possibility that the incident was reasonable. He was originally an active member of the one-day trip to Yangjiao Mountain, so when I told him to go, he naturally agreed.

Next we discussed some specific matters. Because this time it was a tourist trip, I didn’t bring any equipment, so it was a bit tricky. If there was something like opening a coffin and digging a tomb, I would have to just stare.

The place is remote and it is impossible to buy ready-made equipment in such a place. Fatty said, some things are not necessary. We can buy some substitutes. Although they will not be so handy to use, it is still close to the village this time. The quality requirements don’t have to be too high.

He was talking about wilderness survival supplies. Hunters have their own set of supplies. We definitely don’t need to carry solid fuel and smokeless stoves on our backs. However, after seeing the ferocity of wild beasts, I think we still need to prepare some weapons.

He called Agui to discuss these matters with him. Agui also hunted and had three shotguns, all of which were modified old guns with unknown names. The three guns are of different ages. The oldest one was taken out by Agui from the chicken shed. Although the quality of the gun barrel is not bad, the inside of the gun barrel is completely rusty. No one dares to use it and there is nowhere to find it. Gunpowder goes. The other two are used for shooting bullets, and it can be seen that they are left over from the war years.

Guns were banned a few years ago, but people here rely on hunting for a living. Of course, the guys who eat are not willing to hand over the food. The superiors also know the situation and turn a blind eye. It’s just that bullets are hard to get now, Agui said. Village cadres had to go to the county to approve the purchase.

Agui's own hunting is already a part-time activity, so he doesn't have much ammunition at home. Fatty checked the two guns and said, "Agui's one is absolutely fine. The other one hasn't been used for a long time, but the gun has been well maintained." It’s okay, you’ll have to fire it once to know if it still works.”

We bought fifty rounds of bullets from the neighbors next door to Agui at a high price of fifty yuan a round. I could tell by looking at the brass cylindrical bullets that they were handmade in a small workshop. This thing cost Fifty fucking bucks kinda hurts my heart. The fat man said, don't be so petty, fifty yuan may save your life, it's definitely worth it.

Agui's family has a mountain machete, and he went to sharpen it. For other things, we wrote a note and asked him to go to the countryside to see if there were any substitutes. If there was no rope for climbing, he would use the hemp rope from the well. If there was no big rope, he would use it. If you have a powerful flashlight, just tie up a few flashlights and use them. If you don't have a dagger, use a sickle.

Agui suggested to us that there is a lot of rain now, and there are a lot of mosquitoes and poisonous ants in the mountains, especially near lakes. Mosquitoes are as big as wasps. We should bring mosquito coils and mosquito nets, and throw the mosquito coils in the bonfire. Otherwise, we will be in the city. It will definitely be too much for people to bear. I said to myself that there is no need to worry about the stuffy oil bottle.

Arrangements were made, Agui said it would take a day or two to prepare those things, since none of the hunters came back anyway, so he would set off when he was ready.

During this period,

The fat man said that he could find a way to use the sulfuric acid he brought back to see what was wrapped in the iron block. This required careful operation and a better location.

I thought of Panma's description and felt that it was inappropriate. There was a smell coming from the iron block, and the smell gradually faded over time, indicating that there was a volatile substance inside. Who knows what this substance does to the human body? Not harmful. I feel that the time has not yet come to dissolve this thing. Once I get there, I will find some clues and then judge whether I should take this risk will be more reliable.

The fat man's curiosity was so intense that he couldn't bear it, but what I said was absolutely reasonable, and Menyouping agreed with me. Thinking that it might affect other people, he had no choice but to give up.

The next moment, Fatty was in high spirits. Firstly, he believed what his ancient tomb said, and secondly, his hands were itchy because he hadn’t hunted for a long time. He kept nagging us all night despite his face being swollen as if he had been kicked by a horse. He used to hunt. I couldn't sleep either, but my mind was thinking about things at the lake. Menyouping didn't speak. I saw that he kept looking at the building next to Agui, looking at the window in trance.

I remembered that I saw a shadow in that building the night before yesterday, but now the window was dark and I couldn't see anything. Agui's son didn't seem to be very willing to meet people and lived in seclusion. I suspected there was some illness, so I had to stay at home. Such things often happen in rural areas.

After a night of no sleep and a day of intense mental activity, I soon became dizzy and couldn't hear what the fat man was saying, so I dozed off leaning against the oil bottle. It was much cooler outside than inside the house, and there wasn't a single bug around the stuffy oil bottle. We just lay down and fell asleep. When we woke up, it was already noon the next day.

Let’s not talk about the preparations for this day. On the third day, we were well prepared and Agui took us away.

What made me depressed was that I didn’t see the legendary guide. It was Agui himself and Yuncai who set off together.

I asked what happened, Agui, didn’t you say you’d never been there? Why did you take us there yourself?

Aguidao, this hunter went into the mountains. He didn’t know if he encountered any obstacles. Several teams had not come back, and no one else had been there. The only person he could find was his daughter Yuncai. Yuncai had been there several times with his grandfather before. , know how to go. He took us with him, plus the clouds knew the way, and the dog, so it shouldn’t be a big problem. Otherwise, we might get into trouble if we don't understand each other's language.

I thought it was too bad, it seemed that my bid was too high, and Agui couldn't bear to let others make this money. The fat man immediately said no, we are going to do something, and we are bringing a little girl with us. Isn’t this a joke? If you get hurt in some way, I will feel sorry for you as a father if you don’t feel sorry for me.

Agui kept saying that it was okay. The little girls here all picked up guns at the age of five or six. In terms of being in the mountains, she is more useful than us, and she and he are familiar with this mountain, so there is no need to worry.

After saying that, Yun Cai came out of the house. When Fatty and I looked at it, our eyes were straight. I saw that Yun Cai had completely changed into a different person. He was wearing Yao hunting clothes, with a hunting knife across his waist and a small short shotgun on his back. The Yao girl has a good figure, but when she wears these clothes, the lines on her calves and body are stretched out, making her look really nice and tight. Coupled with the heroic appearance and playful expression, and the irresistible aura of seventeen or eighteen years old, the fat man was conquered at once.

She walked up to us, stared at us as if challenging, and said, "Boss, don't you look down on people?"

"No, no! Not at all!" Fatty said immediately, "Sister, don't get me wrong. Your fat brother, I am mainly afraid of your hard work. In fact, in our hearts, you are definitely the best candidate."

I immediately frowned, kicked the fat man, and cursed in a low voice: "Why did you change your mind so quickly? What's the matter, at your age, you still want to eat young grass?"

"What's wrong with my age? Fatty, I call it the prime of life. It's a strong cow, not an old cow." He whispered, "You asked Pan Zi to find a wife, why can't you tolerate me?"

I didn’t know if he was really moved or if he just wanted to eat some tofu. I told him that the Miao Yao family and the female family are all powerful. Be careful, if someone gets really moved and ties you up, then you have to come to the door. People have been farming for a lifetime, but if they change their minds and run away, all the insects will pierce their hearts.

The fat man was obviously well-informed and didn't take it seriously. He said that he would die under the peonies and be a ghost. It would be best if all the beauties in Yao Village bewitched him. Then he would stay here and be the village chief.

While laughing, I had no choice but to accept the current situation. Looking at Yun Cai's magnanimity, I felt that Agui was right, and there probably wouldn't be too much danger this time.

The only thing that bothered me was that when we were packing, Fatty always teased Yuncai and made Yuncai laugh. But I can see that Yun Cai secretly looks at Menyou Ping from time to time, looking very carefully, and always looks back immediately after one glance, but I can see something in those clear eyes.

We started off along the same route we took to find Panma Dad. I already knew a little about this route, and the journey was much easier than when we were searching for Panma Dad at night. The fat man was simply fascinated. He kept circling around the clouds, almost lying down and riding her as a horse. The clouds were indeed cute and bouncing around.

She asked us what we were doing. We were definitely not tour guides. How could any tour guide come to a place like this? The fat man pretended to be mysterious and said that we were big shots with a secret mission. If she would kiss him, he would tell her secretly.

I was really afraid that Yuncai would kiss him. It would be such a waste. Fortunately, Yuncai still has the ability to appreciate and will not be fooled. However, Menyou Ping was not infected by our atmosphere, and his expression remained unchanged. In the relaxed atmosphere, he was the only one who was still in the dark clouds.

When we arrived at the ancient tomb at the mountain pass that night, we went a kilometer or two deeper to rest for a while. After daybreak, we continued walking in the mountains for two days before arriving at the lake.

I saw the lake in the distance on the ridge. Probably due to the heavy rain for days, the lake was larger than I thought. Sure enough, as Panma said, the lake is surrounded by rocks. The lake is surrounded by vast mountains. Tall and steep peaks are continuous. The mountains are huge and reach into the clouds. They are not like hills at all. They are completely dangerous mountains and rivers. The plants in the mountains are very thickly distributed, and even the cliffs in the mountains are dark green. The Shiwandashan Mountain truly deserves its reputation. I can't help but feel lucky that this place is not far from the village. Going further in, the hinterland in the mountains may be even more dangerous than Tamutuo.

After passing a mountain road that was completely covered with vegetation and invisible, we came to the lake beach. There was no trace of anyone stationed here at all. The water in the lake was very clear, reflecting the clouds in the sky beautifully. After throwing away the packages, we went to wash our faces in the lake. The water was cold, indicating that there was an underground river at the bottom of the lake. The cold lake water was refreshing in the dog days of summer.

After washing my face, I looked up and looked around. The lake reflected the sky and the surrounding mountains, and suddenly I found that this place seemed as familiar as I had seen before. I took a look, and the stuffy oil bottle next to me also had a puzzled look on its face. ④Read on Tianshu Chinese website
