On the second day, I was woken up by Zhang Jinya's shrill voice before seven in the morning. After I got dressed and went out, I found that most of the people who went to Qinling together were already in the yard, and the yard was full of large and small packages.
When Zhang Jinya saw Zhou Jing and I coming out, he immediately raised his hand and called us: "Xiaotian, come and help, we have to leave at 8 o'clock."
"Why are there so many things? Do you think this is a vacation?"
I looked at the large and small packages and frowned slightly: There is no way to drive through the Qinling Mountains. Wouldn't it be inconvenient for us to carry so many things? When we go deep into the mountains and forests, will you carry these things through the mountains and rivers? "
"Yes, you really have to carry these things into the mountains. Each person carries 50 kilograms. No one can escape except the little kid next to you!"
Fatty Wu came over with a smile, patted my shoulder and said to me: "Little brother, you don't know much about the Qinling Mountains, right? Brother, I tell you, I bring these things for your own good. I have been to that place before. There is no village in front and no shop behind. It is a place where no one lives. When we go in, we will have no place to replenish supplies. We don't know how long we will stay in that place. It's better to be prepared, brother. If you think about it this way, are these things too much?"
My face turned green when I heard this...
One person carries 50 kilograms, this is simply killing me!!
My body is different from that of an ordinary person. I have been weak since I was young, and my physical strength is even worse. No matter how I exercise, it is useless. Innate lack of energy cannot be compensated by acquired exercise! ! I was worried about going to the Qinling Mountains all night yesterday. It is no joke to travel hundreds of kilometers in the deep mountains and forests. Whether my physical strength can keep up is another matter. If I am asked to carry 50 kilograms, I will have to lie down before I can walk ten miles! !
"Fatty, shut up!"
At this time, Rosa, who had always been cold, actually spoke up, looked up at me deeply, and said lightly: "Uncle Ge told me about his situation. He can't carry this 50 kilograms of weight. When we get there, you help him share 30 kilograms, and I help him share 20 kilograms."
"Why?"
The fat man's eyes widened at the time and shouted: "80 kilograms, although I have a lot of strength, you don't have to torment me like this, right?"
As a result, before the fat man finished speaking, Rosa took out the pistol on her waist, and the black muzzle directly hit the fat man's forehead: "If you don't want to, you don't have to go to this Qinling ancient tomb. I will shoot your head right now, do you believe it?"
Looking at the look in this woman's eyes, my heart was also cold - she didn't look like she was joking!
What exactly does this woman do? Seeing this posture that doesn't take human life in her eyes at all, it seems that she is not a good person! I have been studying in school all my life and have never encountered such a situation. I was a little dumbfounded for a moment and was a little confused in my heart - this woman seemed to know my physical condition. Was the Uncle Ge she mentioned referring to my father? And why did she help me?
For a moment, I was even more curious about the identity of this woman.
At this time, Zhang Jinya and the others also hurried up to persuade me. It can be seen that except for Qingyi, everyone seemed to be very afraid of this woman. They all persuaded in a good tone. Finally, they promised that everyone would help me share ten kilograms. Rosa finally gave up, put away her pistol, looked at me, and said to me: "You take my car, and from today on, you will stay by my side. Do you hear me?"
I could only smile bitterly and agreed. After this kind of thing happened, I felt very embarrassed. It seemed that this time I went to the Qinling Tomb with these people, I really became a drag. I hurried up to help them pack their luggage. I did as much as I could. I couldn't just sit there and feel at ease and drag others down.
At about eight o'clock, these trivial things were finally done, and we set off as scheduled.
This time, there were three cars in total. Qingyi and Heizi were in the Buick business car driven by Zhang Jinya. Rosa and I were in one car, and Fatty Wu and Zhou Jing were in another. We went to Yingtan first, and then to Xi'an, Shaanxi. After a day of rest in Xi'an, we set off for the Qinling Mountains. After all, the journey was more than a thousand kilometers. If we didn't rest before going into the mountains, not to mention me, even the few of them would be physically exhausted. After getting in the car, I asked Rosa why she wanted to help me and whether she knew my father. Unfortunately, this woman ignored me at all, and didn't even say a word. She drove by herself with a cold face. I was so frustrated that I could only stay aside and play with my phone by myself.
The journey was not short. When we arrived in Xi'an, it was almost noon the next day. After lunch, Rosa took us to a local express hotel in Xi'an. Zhou Jing and I shared a room. However, before we had time to go to bed, Zhang Jinya called me and Zhou Jing to go to Rosa's room. The woman wanted to tell us about the specific action plan. I saw this and then I vaguely understood that this action should be led by this woman.
When Zhou Jing and I arrived at Rosa's room, everyone was basically there. Rosa's room was a big bed room with enough space. Everyone basically gathered in a circle on the big bed. Rosa sat in the middle and was holding a pen and writing and drawing on a map. They were discussing something enthusiastically.
When Zhou Jing and I came in, we quickly turned around and locked the door again, and then we gathered by the bed. After all, we are going to an ancient tomb this time. No one would believe us if we say we are not tomb robbers. If we accidentally leak the news and meet someone with a bad mouth reports us, we will probably be invited to the police station for tea before we even enter the Qinling Mountains.
"Everyone is here. Let me tell you about our next plan."
Rosa glanced at me and Zhou Jing sitting on the bed, then cast her eyes on the map again, and said without raising her head: "We will set off at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning and walk through the mountains between the Weihe River and the Hanjiang River. It will take about a day to reach Guangyuan Village. Our car can only drive there, and then we have to hike into the Qinling Mountains. From Guangyuan Village, we will walk more than 100 kilometers in the mountains towards the Jialing River to reach our destination. We will travel during the day and camp at night. If nothing goes wrong, we can reach it in five days."
I frowned when I heard this. More than 100 kilometers to walk in three to four days? You are kidding! With my physical strength, I can walk four kilometers in an hour, and at least fifty kilometers a day. It takes five days to walk such a short distance. Isn't it a waste of time?
Before I could ask a question, Zhang Jinya said, "It's too time-consuming. Besides, I heard that after the Qinling ancient tombs were excavated, many people were attracted to rob tombs there in the name of mining. Although many people quit due to constant accidents, many still stayed. As the saying goes, people in the same profession are enemies. If we stay on the road for too long, it is easy to run into these people. By then, if we are killed in the wilderness and buried, we won't even have a place to cry! I suggest that we grit our teeth and speed up the journey. If we travel day and night, it is estimated that we will arrive in less than one and a half days."
Zhang Jinya's words were recognized by many people, and everyone nodded.
"No!"
Rosa frowned and shook her head without saying anything, rejecting the idea: "We must travel between 10 am and 3 pm every day. I am the only person here who has been to the Qinling Tomb and returned alive. I know better than you how dangerous it is there. The most terrifying thing in that place is not people, but..."
Speaking of this, Rosa stopped for a moment, her face slightly pale, as if she remembered something very scary, and even a trace of fear appeared in her eyes. She shook her head fiercely: "In short, it's right to listen to me. We must travel when the Yang energy of heaven and earth is at its peak. Once the Yang energy starts to decline, we must immediately set up camp. Rest!"
Zhang Jinya's eyes widened when he heard this: "Could there be something on the road?"
"Yes! There are still a lot!"
Rosa said in a deep voice: "But if we don't rush to travel at night and sleep in the tent, it should be fine."
After saying this, Rosa no longer cared about other people's suggestions and insisted on following her plan. When everyone asked her what was on the road, she just shook her head and said that she couldn't explain it clearly, and asked us to pray for the best. If those things were to cause trouble for us, whether we could walk to the Qinling Tomb alive would depend on our luck. Then she told us the approximate route, and then told everyone to go and buy the things that they didn't buy in Yujiang County at that time in the afternoon.
After doing this, Rosa ended this short meeting, and everyone dispersed.
"Okay, we have been working so hard in Dingtao Village for the past two days and have suffered a lot. I will take you two to relax this afternoon."
Zhang Jinya stretched, patted my shoulder, and laughed: "Otherwise, after today, we will have to go to the Ten Deadly Tombs. It is unknown whether we can come back alive by then. We have to enjoy ourselves while we can!"
Ten Deadly Tombs?
I couldn't help but shudder all over, looking at Zhang Jinya in disbelief: "You said that the funeral group in Qinling is the Ten Deadly Tombs?"
"Yes, everyone knows it."
Zhang Jinya turned his head and looked at me, his eyes were like he had discovered a new continent: "Don't tell me you still don't know that the ancient tombs in Qinling are the Ten Deadly Tombs?"
"Yes, brother, are you from the old Ge family?"
Fatty Wu also came up at this time, and his fat face trembled when he laughed: "The first person to recognize that the tomb was the Ten Deadly Tombs was your father. Now it has basically spread throughout our industry. We all thought you knew it a long time ago!"
I was in a trance, and I basically didn't hear what Zhang Jinya and Fatty Wu said later. The four words "Ten Deadly Tombs" echoed in my mind, and I was almost scared to sit on the ground at that time!
