The sanitary conditions of the restaurants in the village are a bit poor, but they have unique flavor and almost all of the food they serve is game. Stewed hare, snake soup with shredded bamboo shoots, shredded chicken fungus, and braised frog.
These are the common catches of the villagers. The rare game is now everywhere.
However, the atmosphere during the meal was a bit dull. A few people chatted for a while and then lost interest. Ten minutes later, Captain Chen put down his bowls and chopsticks, spread a circle of cigarettes, and started smoking alone.
Luo Yuan borrowed Captain Chen's lighter and lit a cigarette. He doesn't usually smoke, but sometimes he will smoke one when he is under work pressure or in a bad mood.
After the cigarette burned out, Captain Chen stood up and said, "Let's go!"
Several people stood up and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
Luo Yuan was at the end, holding a machete and slashing at the air from time to time!
Zhao Qiang looked back and said with a smile: "Why are you so energetic? There must be grass everywhere on the mountain. You will be able to chop it down by then!"
Luo Yuan didn't mind either: "I exercise regularly and have better physical strength. When the time comes, it will be left to me to open the way. You just need to watch it for me!"
Luo Yuan is not overly energetic or overly excited, but he wants to take time to practice sword skills. This mission will obviously be more dangerous. His four-point unarmed fighting skills are somewhat stretched in this mountain forest, and he is far away. Not as practical as a knife.
However, it is mostly very difficult to develop new skills. It does not mean that you have a knife and just chop a few times, and a new skill will appear. You need at least a basic mastery, which requires a lot of practice. For example, Luo Yuanna's driving skills were obtained when he took the driver's license test, but they were only a little bit poor, so imagine how difficult it was.
"Okay, no problem! It seems that we will all rely on you from now on!" Zhao Qiang grinned.
The young policewoman couldn't stand it anymore: "Zhao Qiang, don't bully others."
He turned around and said to Luo Yuan: "Little Luo, don't be brave, we will take turns to open the way when the time comes."
"It's okay, I can do it!" Luo Yuan smiled nonchalantly.
"Huang Jiahui, why are you blaming me? This is what he said." Zhao Qiang said strangely: "Oh, pretty boys are so popular!"
The policewoman named Huang Jiahui glared at him angrily and stopped talking.
"Brother Qiang, Sister Hui! Only Ronaldinho and I are relatively young here. I will open the way with him when the time comes." Wang Fei said that he has not yet completed the official establishment, and this is the time to work hard to perform.
"Okay, then Xiao Wang and Xiao Luo will open the way, and the rest of the team will be on guard and pay attention to safety." Team Chen made the final decision.
A few people passed through the village. The cement road stopped not far ahead and was replaced by a two-meter-wide tractor road. The road was covered with weeds and almost submerged the road. If it weren't for the villagers who often came here. If you walk on this road, it may have already merged with the farmland on the left and right, and you can no longer find the road.
Stepping on the grass, the soles of your feet are soft and soft, so it’s not difficult to walk!
Only occasionally, there would be some rustling sounds, rushing through the grass, making everyone tremble with fear from time to time. They didn't know whether it was a rat, a snake, or other creatures that passed by.
"Pa!" Zhao Qiang was walking behind and suddenly slapped himself. When he looked at it, there was a pool of blood on his palm. An unlucky mosquito was turned into pulp by him.
"Grass, what a big mosquito!" His face felt itchy, he scratched his face hard, and cursed in his mouth.
"The mosquitoes here are quite poisonous because of the mountains, so everyone should be careful." Team Chen reminded.
At this time, a few meters in front of Luo Yuan, there was a sudden violent commotion, the grass rolled, and then it shot towards the distance like a sharp arrow, forming a long green mark in the grass that lingered for a long time. Because of the cover of the grass, it is impossible to see what kind of creature is inside!
The incident happened suddenly. Huang Jiahui couldn't help but screamed, patted her towering chest, and said with lingering fear: "I was scared to death. What kind of animal is this?"
"Maybe it's a field mouse!" Wang Fei said uncertainly. He was walking behind Luo Yuan. He was also startled just now, but he didn't scream along with him.
"Vole, how can there be such a big vole? It must be a weasel. It really scared me." Huang Jiahui said with lingering fear.
Luo Yuan walked in the front and only saw a vague impression. He didn't know what kind of creature it was, but it was definitely not a weasel, because a weasel was definitely not green. He said nothing to avoid adding to the crowd's fear.
He took a deep breath, held the handle of the knife tightly, and continued to chop the grass in front of him. At the same time, he carefully experienced the feeling of using the knife. The strange animal that emerged just now made him feel a little uneasy.
"Plants have been growing strangely in the past few months, but what about the animals
Plants are at the bottom of the ecological chain pyramid. Once the bottom changes, the entire ecosystem will undergo drastic changes. Maybe everything is not obvious or common yet, but there are always some very special individuals who may have already Things begin to change.
He suddenly thought of the canceled mission, and was suddenly frightened, and his whole body felt cold.
He previously speculated that Chimei Foreign Trade might go bankrupt within half a year, but he did not think deeply about it. There are many reasons for a company to go bankrupt. Insufficient capital chain, financial problems or offending certain forces may cause a company to go bankrupt. But now he connected everything he saw and thought, and he vaguely came to a shocking and unbelievable conclusion: "trade interruption"
The land is changing, and it is impossible for the ocean to remain unchanged. Once there is a problem with shipping, I don’t know how many companies will go bankrupt and how many people will lose their jobs? "
The world seems to be undergoing some kind of drastic change. Luo Yuan lived in the city before, and because of the guidance of the news media, although he noticed these changes, he did not alert him. If he had not come to the countryside this time, he would still be ignorant.
"No wonder, the price of rice has skyrocketed in the second half of the year, and bank interest rates have also strangely increased several times. It seems that after this mission is completed, I should make some preparations!" Luo Yuan thought silently in his heart.
Not long after, a few people had reached the foot of the mountain. In front of them, there were vague mountain roads covered by thorns and grass.
At this time, Luo Yuan saw a red lump the size of a baby's fist on Zhao Qiang's face. Even his face was deformed. He grabbed it twice with his hands from time to time and asked in confusion: "Brother Qiang, what's wrong with your face?"
"I was bitten by a mosquito and it itched me to death!" Zhao Qiang checked the gun again, scratched his face a few times, and said angrily.
"Ah! Why are the mosquitoes in the mountains so poisonous! If I had known I would have taken leave today, if I were bitten, I would be too embarrassed to see anyone." Huang Jiahui also looked over and said in surprise.
Wang Fei wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he held back a sentence: "Maybe Brother Qiang has a skin allergy. I have a classmate who is like this. One bite makes a big lump."
"Go away, you have a skin allergy. Which one of you brought toilet water, wind oil essence, etc.?" Zhao Qiang scolded with a look of displeasure.
Luo Yuan was thinking about skin allergies before, but from what he said, it was obviously not the case, and he was secretly shocked: "It seems that animals are indeed mutating slowly! Otherwise, how could a mountain mosquito be so poisonous?"
"Use your saliva and use local materials." Team Chen looked at Zhao Qiang's almost deformed face and felt a little happy in his heart. Zhao Qiang is the thorn in the center. He usually refuses to obey the rules and is very arrogant. He has long been unhappy with him: "Let's go through it. Okay, let's go into the mountain. Xiaoluo, you can clear the way first."
Luo Yuan recovered his thoughts, then picked up the machete and walked cautiously towards the mountain.
