After our team arrived in the north of the city, according to the address given by Xiyou and Da Sparrow, they rushed directly to the entrance of a nearby village, and not long after the car stopped, Xiyou and Da Sparrow led a middle-aged man out of the woods next to them, pulled the car door and sat in our car.

"Brother Cang, his name is Liu Guang'an, he is the forest ranger of this village, and the mountain we are going to is his jurisdiction. "Big Sparrow opened his mouth and introduced us to the stranger.

"Well, hello. Brother Cang smiled at Liu Guang'an: "What are we looking for you for, I guess my two little brothers have already told you, right?"

"Well, I did. Liu Guangan nodded: "You plan to bypass the Jinchi repair factory and go to the house in the orchard of Huanghuashan, right?"

"That's right. Brother Cang nodded: "Is there a way?"

"Yes. Liu Guangan nodded: " The Huanghuashan orchard is a private contracted mountain, when I usually go to inspect, I rarely go there, because the orchard is surrounded by barbed wire, and I dig a trench with a hook machine or something, I should be afraid that someone will go in and steal the fruit, the mountain is very steep, surrounded by a large cliff more than ten meters high, there are originally three roads to go up, now one of them has been dug up, and the other side has also been covered with a pump room and a nursing room, in addition to the car that collects the fruit can go in, not let people go at all, the other is the Jinchi auto repair shop, since the repair shop was built, it has also become a private territory, can not goBut in addition to the three paths I just said, there is actually a road that can lead to the Huanghuashan orchard, this road is a very steep path, we often walked from here when we were young, and went into the mountains to catch rabbits, but then there was a child in our village, and when he walked this road into the mountain, he fell to his death, and slowly no one dared to go, the road I said was particularly steep, and it was particularly dangerous, if it was not a particularly nimble person, he couldn't get in at all, and now it was almost dark, if we wanted to go in, then we had to hurry up, otherwise when the sky darkened, we couldn't get in。 ”

"What if I'm just going to go into that mountain at night?" Brother Cang then asked.

"It's almost impossible to go into the mountains at night. After listening to Brother Cang's words, Liu Guangan shook his head directly: "In fact, when the Huanghuashan orchard was contracted, the people on the mountain also knew about this path, and the reason why it was not destroyed was that there was no way to walk on this road at all, that is, we mountain people who work all year round can barely walk, and it has to be without rain, once the sight is lost or it rains and snows, that road cannot be called a road." ”

'Whoa!'

After listening to Liu Guang'an's explanation, Brother Cang opened the armrest box in the car, and directly took out 20,000 yuan and handed it over: "When my two little brothers negotiated terms with you before, they said that you took us into the mountains and gave you 20,000 yuan as a reward, right?"

"That's right!" Liu Guangan looked at the money in Brother Cang's hand and nodded, their kind of forest rangers are basically all people hired by forestry stations in various villages, there is no pension insurance, and there is no formal establishment, and the annual salary is only 12,000 yuan, and then throw away the set of forest rangers that are forced to buy, as well as the personal insurance during the fire prevention period, after careful calculation, the monthly salary is less than 1,000 yuan, so Liu Guangan is really a little moved when he sees this 20,000 yuan.

'Brush!'

Brother Cang saw Liu Guang'an's eyes, and directly threw 20,000 yuan to him: "These money are just deposits, after you successfully bring us into the mountain, I will give you another 20,000, now please answer me seriously, I want to enter the mountain at night, can I go in?"

"Tsk!"

After listening to Brother Cang's words, Liu Guangan licked his lips: "If it weren't for my son being admitted to college and waiting for money, I wouldn't have been able to take you to do such a risky thing, since you want to enter the mountain, then I won't stop you, but I said in advance, once your people have any accidents in the process of climbing, I will not be responsible!"

"You can rest assured of that. Brother Cang nodded: "Where is the way into the mountain?"

"Over there!" Liu Guang'an pointed to a mountain on the edge of the village through the car window: "This mountain is connected to Huanghua Mountain, the path I said is just before the two mountains, there is a distance between them, you need to cross a valley about fifty meters deep, this valley is about ten meters long, the connection is a fallen spruce tree, people with fear of heights, can't walk, and the mountain wall inside, almost vertical, can only climb up along the vines thrown down, so people who are too fat can't go up." ”

"If we follow the path you said into Huanghua Mountain, how far is it from the orchard's nursery?"

"It's not far off. Liu Guangan shook his head: "The nursing house in the Huanghuashan orchard is built on the edge of a barren ditch, and the exit of our road is on the edge of the ditch, and you can walk directly to the back of their house, but the cliff is also quite steep, and it is not easy to climb up." ”

"Okay, let's go into the village. After listening to Liu Guang'an's explanation, Brother Cang nodded slightly, and after starting the car, he turned his head to look at me as the co-pilot: "Inform Xiaopang and let them drive to the county to find an outdoor store and buy the best mountaineering equipment back." ”

"Understood!" I nodded, dialed Chubby's phone directly, and told him what had happened.

Liu Guangan heard us calling, and observed us again: "Well, can I ask, what are you doing, why do you have to go to Huanghuashan Orchard?"

"Keep your mouth shut, know less, it's good for you. Xiyou heard Liu Guang'an inquiring blindly, and immediately reprimanded.

"Actually, if you don't say it, I can step on a rough one, since you go into the mountain at night, if it's not the police, then you must be here to seek revenge, people outside say that Huanghuashan is so heavily guarded, it must be a big casino, look at your appearance, it must be a big boss who has been cheated inside, so I came to you to make trouble." ”

"You just said that this place is heavily guarded, how long has Huanghua Mountain existed?" Hearing Liu Guang'an's words, I asked.

"Well, if you ask that, it's been a few years, at least three or four years. Liu Guangan thought for a while: "Huanghua Mountain, the first was a barren mountain, and later after being contracted, it was fenced off, and a lot of fruit trees were planted, but the altitude of that mountain is very high, and there is no water on it, so it is very dry, and there is no way to plant fruit trees. ”

After listening to Liu Guang'an's explanation, my heart was a little calmer, since this place of Huanghuashan has existed for many years, it means that we came here, it must not be designed by people, in this case, maybe we can really find some useful news when we go up the mountain tonight, or maybe after I meet the person Osprey, all the hazy clues will be revealed.

After about half an hour, Xiaopang and Dalong returned to the village to gather with us, and after opening the trunk, there were all kinds of things such as hiking shoes, mountaineering pickaxes, rope ladders, and eight-claw hooks, and there were also mountaineering water bottles, helmets with head lights, insect repellent sprays, jackets, and simple medical kits, all of which were also ready, and after everyone divided the things, Brother Cang looked at the dozen or so people present: "Are there any people who are afraid of heights?"

The people who were brought by Da Long and Xiao Pang looked at each other and shook their heads together: "No!"

"Fortunately, at least the attrition is not very serious. Brother Cang heard that no one had a fear of heights, nodded slightly, and then stretched out his hand to point at Xiao Fat, and the other two fatter youths: "The three of you stay and guard our car here, you don't have to participate in tonight's action." ”

"Brother Cang, why?" After listening to Brother Cang's words, Xiaopang looked dissatisfied: "I can understand that you let others stay to watch the car, but why do I have to stay, I am the backbone!"

"Where we are going to walk in a while, the highest part of the cliff is more than 20 meters, which is higher than a six-story building, and the tools to climb up are only vines hanging down from the top of the mountain, do you feel that those plants can withstand your physique of more than 200 catties?"

"Actually, I just look fat, in fact, I am only 198 pounds. After listening to Brother Cang's words, Xiaopang jumped his lips and explained, and then shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "If we want to take this kind of road, I really don't have much use, I can't do it by climbing the wall or something." ”

"Okay, then you can take someone to stay, and the rest of us will change their equipment, and we are ready to go." ”

'Whoa!'

Brother Cang's voice fell, everyone began to change into loose pants and jackets, and at the same time poured mineral water into their mountaineering kettle, and at the same time adjusted the headlamp or something, everything was ready, under the leadership of Liu Guang'an, we went directly to the back mountain of the village.

I usually don't like to exercise people, so the physical strength is always not good, especially when climbing the mountain, even more so, we just walked along the avenue of the back mountain to the top of the mountain, it has made my back clothes wet a lot, and when I reached the top of the mountain, the water in my kettle has been drunk, at the beginning, we walked on the road, along the moonlight, and did not need to turn on the headlights, as Liu Guangan took us into a woods, everyone turned on the headlights, so that the surrounding small insects and other things, all rushed to us to pounce, although the body sprayed with insect medicine, but there was no effect at allAll those mosquitoes and other things started to hit my face, and soon, I was bitten by all kinds of unknown bugs.

After about forty minutes, the first obstacle Liu Guang'an said, that is, the single-plank bridge, gradually appeared in our sight.
