Adventure Code

Chapter 378 The Victim (10)

"I don't think your eldest brother is a person who suffers once and then gives up eating because of choking." Machete looked at me, and with this sentence, our conversation came to an end.The hotel is very old and there are few rooms. I don't know how Machete found such a place. He rested in the hotel for one night, and took the bus early the next morning to go to Tuanjiegou.

There is only one road, and the repair is okay, but the road is very slippery in this weather, but the master who drives the shuttle bus is like a racing car. Sitting on it is really frightening. The old lady's face is pale, until I can't help reminding The Northeast driver made a sound, and the other party stabilized the car for a while.

The few of us sat relatively close, Machete took out the map and handed it to Teacher Ma.

The old lady was wrapped up like a ball, and she seemed to be slow to turn over the map. I think with her physical fitness, it is estimated that she will have to fight back home as soon as she arrives at Tuanjiegou.

The Tuanjiegou on the map is located in a low-lying land where mountains meet, and it is also the end of the road. When the road is built to Tuanjiegou, the north and south sides are full of rolling hills and valleys. place.

It's the end of October now, although I can't see it on the map, but I reckon that there has been a snowfall on the Tuanjiegou side, and the surrounding mountains of Baobuqi have already been covered with snow.

At this time when the sky is freezing and everything is frozen, this old lady is going to the depths of Daxing'an Mountains to find a plant?Isn't this looking for a needle in a haystack?While the old lady was looking at the map, I said, "Mr. Ma, what is that plant you're talking about? What does it look like? Do you know the exact location? It may be snowy this season, so it's hard to find."

The old lady Ma gestured to her female student, and the middle-aged woman wearing glasses took out a black leather notebook from her backpack, which contained dense handwriting, many pictures and some materials, She turned directly to the middle part and showed us a section of content inside: "This is our positioning based on the raw materials, probably in this area."

She marked the northeast location of Tuanjiegou on the map.

I thought to myself: It looks small on the map, but the actual area is about to walk, and it would break a person's leg. Such general information is too unreliable, right?

Looking at the information in her notebook again, a hand-painted plant pattern came into my eyes. The moment I saw the pattern, I was taken aback.I saw that the plants painted above looked strange, like a clump of coral, with very few leaves, and the branches were shaped like small bones.

This appearance reminds me of the bone grass that I saw in the cat cave in my hometown.

Mrs. Wu ate that kind of bone grass, and her aging speed slowed down. She has lived for almost two hundred years. According to old lady Wu, this kind of bone grass usually looks like dead grass and has no effect. It will turn white once every ten years, and it only takes 10 minutes each time. During the period of white bone grass, eating it will have a very terrifying effect of prolonging life.

Could it be that what Mr. Ma is looking for...is bone grass?I thought it was a bit of a coincidence, so I deliberately said: "This is the plant we are looking for? It looks weird and looks like a bone. What is this thing? What is it for?"

The middle-aged woman and the middle-aged man are the student assistants brought by Mr. Ma. The woman's name is Fu Xueli, and the man's name is Hao Yun'an. Since there is not much difference in age, we call them Sister Fu and Brother Hao.

Both of them seemed a bit rigid, respectful to Teacher Ma, obedient and cautious, but their attitude towards us victims was a little cold.

To be exact, he was indifferent to us three tenth-level victims, as if we were invisible people, he didn't take us seriously at all, and he was very polite to the scimitar.

As for the pair of twins code-named 'Pan Zuo' and 'Pan You', the two brothers have their nostrils upturned, whispering from time to time, except for listening to Machete, they don't talk to us and Teacher Ma, they are quite out of group.

When I asked this question, [-]% of the people surnamed Fu thought I was talking too much, so he pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and instead of answering me, he said to Machete: "We call this kind of grass 'Bone Grass', according to the According to old records, this grass has the effect of prolonging life, and in ten years, it will only produce effect for a short period of time."

Now, I'm almost certain that the bonegrass they were looking for was the bonegrass that Mrs. Wu found in the cat's cave.

It’s just a coincidence, I thought to myself: Why bother to find Bone Grass, I can find a bunch for you right away, if I tell them about it now, will I be able to skip this trip?
I was thinking about it, and the unity ditch arrived.

This is a small village camp. There was just a snowfall yesterday, and now it is covered with snow at a glance. Since the camp is not big and the terrain is relatively flat, we can see Tuanjiegou from the parking lot. To the northeast, there is a vast expanse of white snow ridges.

It was past two o'clock at noon, and a young man greeted us as soon as we got off the bus.Since Tuanjiegou is the last human gathering place in this area, it is surrounded by mountains and densely packed pine forests, the terrain is complex, there are many swamps in spring and summer, and there are many ice shells in winter, I am not familiar with this place People who are in the terrain, rushing in alone is looking for death.

Even though there are many rare and expensive wild animals in this mountain range, rampant poachers rarely dare to poach here, so if we want to enter the mountain, we must have a local guide.

The young Northeast man who picked us up is an Oroqen man, our next guide. His name is 'Anba'. Mrs. Ma said that Anba means honesty and honesty in the language of the Oroqen people, but the man who picked us up , grows to be burly and honest, but his eyes are a little yellow and cloudy, giving people a particularly dishonest, completely opposite feeling.

For the God of Wealth, Anba was still very enthusiastic. He invited us to stay at his house for one night, prepared a table of dishes for us in the evening, and blew the cowhide on the kang: "You are looking for me. I am about the size of you." Follow my father to run on the mountain, relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, there are good things in this mountain, spring, summer, autumn and winter, although I have never seen the grass you are looking for, but the information you gave me, the terrain described... ...I know! Go through the Unity Ditch and it's just behind."

Madam Ma smiled and said, "How long will it take us to get there?"

Anba looked at Mrs. Ma, rubbed his hands, and said, "To be honest, if I were tall, I would leave early in the morning and arrive at five or six in the afternoon... But now, at your age, plus I Seeing that you are all educated people, then you are not sure, you must stay overnight. When you get to the place, you have to search, right? This time, it will take at least four days, which is the fastest... It will take halfway If there is any accident, it will be even more uncertain."
