Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 435 Arriving at Luonan Village at Night

If it was someone else, I wouldn't be too surprised, but Captain Huang was able to follow me, which really surprised me.

Captain Peng and Tang Dao came over. It was because of their great cultivation, but why was Captain Huang able to keep up?He gave me the feeling that he is obviously not a cultivator. Could it be that this person still has hidden means?

But after these people arrived, the place was much safer. Ma Yi'ao and I both breathed a sigh of relief, and when Captain Peng saw us, he asked, "How's the situation? I seem to have heard gunfire again just now."

Ma Yi'ao said: "Someone ambushed us again in the distance, but Hou Mo chased us away."

Captain Peng frowned, what about people?
Ma Yi'ao said: "This black man fired a few shots from a distance, where can he see people?"

Captain Peng didn't ask any more questions, but came closer and looked at the spotted leopard that was bleeding on the ground, while Ma Yi'ao asked, "How about the camp? Don't let the tiger get away from the mountain?"

While inspecting the leopard entity on the ground, Captain Peng snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, everyone is on alert before we come here. If someone really dares to come to the door, they will definitely be beaten into a sieve."

Ma Yi'ao just reminded him, seeing that Captain Peng had already prepared himself, he stopped talking.

Captain Peng looked through it for a while, and then called Captain Huang to check it out. After checking there with bright flashlights, the two of them determined that the leopard was shot with a shotgun bullet, and that the shooters should be a group of poachers.

Captain Huang hated this group of people very much. He had a comrade-in-arms who died in the northwest before, and it was these guys who shot him. So after finding out his identity, he immediately geared up and prepared to follow the traces and catch them. However, Peng The captain objected and told him that your responsibility is to escort the scientific expedition team and ensure everyone's personal safety, not to chase a bunch of insignificant poachers, not to mention it's dark in the middle of the night, can you If you can catch up, even if you catch up, it will take a long time to go back and forth. This is too much delay.

Hearing this, Captain Huang was very dissatisfied and couldn't help but refute.

However, Captain Peng ignored his arguments, forced Captain Huang to press down, and said with a cold face: "I'll say it again, in the scientific expedition team, I have absolute leadership. If you have any opinions If you want to, go back and make a report. But until the superior dismisses me, you all have to do what I say."

With the big hat off, Captain Huang couldn't hold on any longer. He lowered his head and said no more.

And then, Captain Peng said to Ma Yi'ao and me: "Find a way to drag this leopard back, we can't leave it to the poachers."

This leopard is one or two hundred catties, but he said lightly, let us handle it, which is really a headache.

But Captain Peng just quarreled with Teacher Zhang Jie yesterday, and now he has a disagreement with Captain Huang. He must be in a state of extreme anxiety. We dare not provoke him at this time, so we nodded and agreed.

Then Ma Yi'ao and I lifted one side and dragged the leopard back. After a while, we followed the three of us back to the camp, and found that all the staff were indeed up here, and the fully armed soldiers were guarding the surroundings. The others were also cautiously on guard.

When Captain Peng came back, he told Teacher Zhang and Inspector Xie Ning about the situation, and pointed to the leopard we brought back, and talked about it.

Teacher Zhang Jie was very interested in this leopard. She took her student Huang Xueer, and the two of them squatted in front of the leopard, looking at it carefully. Huang Xueer was holding a notebook with a black cover beside him. recorded.

The alert is lifted, but there will be additional posts, but these things have nothing to do with us who have just been on duty. Ma Yi'ao and I went back to the tent to continue resting, while the little monk Mo Yan ran over, and after chanting sutras for the leopard, we went Fold back.

I had nothing to say all night, and when I woke up the next morning, I could smell the smell of meat outside.

After getting up, I found that the leopard had been processed, part of the meat was boiled into soup, and part of it was baked on the fire, exuding a strong fragrance.

This matter was ordered by Captain Peng, mainly because he felt that our morale was a bit low now, and the leopard didn't know how to deal with it, so it's better to divide it up, and add some meat for everyone, and there will be some troubles on the way later energy.

Regarding this matter, the little monk Mo Yan was a little unhappy, and Tang Dao was also the same, but the rest of the people were fine, happily drinking soup and eating meat, and the atmosphere was much more lively.

The main cook for this meal is the tiger squad. Although their number eight is not a cook, they have good cooking skills and have a lot of experience in handling these wild game. At least the pot of soup is really delicious. Although there is some firewood for the barbecue, but The roast is quite fragrant, covering up many deficiencies in the quality of the meat itself.

After eating a rich meal, No. [-] made the remaining leopard meat into jerky, and carried some with each of them as a later supply, and then we continued to head towards the high ridge.

This time Captain Peng and Teacher Zhang Jie obviously reached a consensus in private. The two didn't quarrel any more, but they didn't talk much to each other.

It was a long journey again, going up and down the mountain, climbing hills, sometimes we were in the forest, and sometimes we were in the barren wilderness.

However, we have been under the snow line all the time, and we walked fairly smoothly. In order to take care of some weaker members of the scientific expedition team, the practitioners had to bear more burdens, and Ma Yi'ao and I also had to take care of them. After passing a lot of supplies, he walked slowly behind.

Stopping and stopping like this, in the afternoon, everyone was very tired, but Captain Peng encouraged everyone, let us walk for another hour, and we will be able to reach the next station.

I carried heavy supplies and walked behind the crowd, without speaking or complaining, just walking with my head buried. However, at this moment, there were bursts of exclamation in front of me, and several people walked quickly go forward.

I didn't know what happened, so I walked forward quickly, but turned a sharp turn, and found another section of the mountain wall, there was a big valley down, the valley was lush green, and there was a river flowing in the middle , and in this green, there are many small red-roofed houses dotted, and there are people walking in it, and there are farmlands on the open space.

There are actually people living in this desolate place where the birds don't shit?
We were all stunned, and Captain Peng looked at Teacher Zhang Jie, who was also very puzzled, and said, "Impossible, the altitude here is so high, how could anyone live here? , or in the local livelihood records, there is none, what is going on?"

Captain Peng asked, "Is it possible that they came from there?"

He pointed in the direction of Kazakhstan.

Teacher Zhang Jie shook her head, saying no, if you look at those buildings, you can see that they are quite old, and the style is completely different from those there.

Inspector Xie Ning said, "Why don't you go down and take a look?"

Captain Peng hesitated for a moment, and felt that he still had to find out, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

But having said that, he was not without reservations. He left Captain Huang and five other Tiger Squad fighters at the mountain pass, and Xia Longfei, who was good at arranging magic circles, was also placed here to keep vigilant at all times. The rest of the people followed him and walked towards the valley below.

The valley seemed to appear out of nowhere, and there was almost no way to go down. We walked along the mountain, and after going down more than a few hundred meters, there was a cliff, and there was no way to go down.

Fortunately, Tang Dao was light and nimble, and he had a lot of means. He climbed down first, got a lot of vines, wove them, and made a rope about [-] meters long, and then came back, between the up and down. A hanging rope was made so that everyone could climb down.

Even if someone helped with this matter, it took a lot of time. Teacher Zhang Jie and Huang Xueer were two ordinary people climbing down, and we had to take care of it carefully.

By the time everyone reached the bottom of the valley, it was already dark.

We came to the bottom of the valley and walked a hundred meters forward, but dozens of people came from the forest, most of them were dressed in animal skins and linen clothes, staring at us, a strong man with a height of two meters and a full beard came out of the crowd. , yelling at us.

He didn't speak Chinese, I don't know if it is the language of several ethnic minorities on the border, or the language across the border. I am a little confused, and Captain Peng is also a little confused, so I have to ask Teacher Zhang to answer.

The two sides chatted for a few words, both were a little confused, but at this time, a young beauty with high eyebrows, deep eyes, three-dimensional and exquisite facial features, full of exotic customs came out, but she could speak Chinese with a taste of the frontier, and stepped forward to chat with her. Communication, I just found out that this is a small village called Ronan. Due to its geographical location, it has not communicated with the outside world for a long time, and the outside world does not know the situation here.

As for the young girl named Di Li, her mother is from the village and her father is a herb picker, so she can speak Chinese.

And this situation?
Everyone was very surprised, but they still expressed their intention to come, and the villagers were very enthusiastic. Under Di Li's communication, they tried their best to invite us to visit the village. Captain Peng couldn't refuse, so he led everyone into the village.

We came to a small square, which is next to the stream. The villagers slaughtered three sheep, boiled sheep soup in a pot, and roasted the other two sheep directly. The elders chatted with Captain Peng and the others. , Talking about customs and customs, while the young people were singing and dancing, singing songs enthusiastically by the raised bonfire, but Ma Yi'ao and I did not participate and stayed on the sidelines.

Ma Yi'ao looked at the cheerful villagers in the field, and asked me, "Can you see that, are there any night walkers?"

I shook my head and said no, but... what they said just now was demon language.

Ma Yi'ao asked me, "Are you sure?"

I nodded and said yes, although it was different from what Suzaku taught, with a very strong accent, but it was a demon language, and there was absolutely no mistake.
