Chapter 45 The Universe in the Weng
"What the hell is going on?" Zhou Xirui asked puzzledly and saw everyone looking at him in surprise. Su Fa trembled and said, "There are man-eating monsters in the giant urn, and people who pass by there will be dragged in and eaten! You'd better not go, let's go back! It's safer for you to go to Vietnam by plane.
"Since they have been dragged in and eaten, how do you know there are monsters in it? It seems that it's just a rumor, and the credibility is not high," Zhong Yueming analyzed. Alas, it's true, this is what the escaped person said. No one in Laos knows, and they have to walk around there." Su Fa was a little anxious to see that he didn't believe it.
"Why don't we go back!" Uncle Li is timid. He has just experienced a terrible tree festival and has long been a frightened bird. I haven't seen any terrible monsters. They've all come here. There's no reason to go back." Atso resolutely refused to go back.
Zhou Xirui basically thought the same as A Cuo: "Don't be afraid. We have broken out of such a terrible place as the house tile village. Are you still afraid of monsters that can only eat people? No matter how terrible monsters are, after all, no one is smart, and talent is the most terrible. I think we should break through it. Everyone came out to explore, so we can't give up halfway!" Xiaopei and Zhong Yueming also nodded in favor of his words.
Unexpectedly, even Liu Peng, who was weak, was in favor of moving forward. He actually thought of going back through the locust ditch, so he really didn't want to go back. Uncle Li looked at John, and John also said in a lame Chinese saying, "I have no problem. I'm in favor of moving forward." Now only Uncle Li and Su Fa disapprove of it. As soon as they saw that everyone meant it, there was nothing they could do.
Acuo and Zhou Xirui are physically stronger. They walk in front of the salad. This old man is really a burden. If he can't walk far, he will be too tired to walk. It seems that this guy is used to being well. Zhou Xirui saw that he really couldn't walk, so he had to cut a few bamboos, made a stretcher, and was trapped on it like a pig. The men in the team took turns to carry him away. Everyone was really miserable.
After walking for two days, all the dry food they brought along the way was robbed and eaten by the children in the stockade. They had no choice but to fight wild animals to satisfy their hunger. A group of people walked in the forest, and the sound they made was quickly scared away. Acuo had to walk a few miles ahead to search for prey, but he was unlucky to get only one hare, which was not enough for so many people to eat.
As he walked, a python suddenly came down from the tree and wrapped around the salad. The person carrying the stretcher quickly put it on the ground and ran away. The salad was tied up and couldn't move, shouting in fear. Acuo shot the bamboo stick into the snake's eye and cut down the snake's head with a machete. The snake's body was still mechanically twisting, which looked very disgusting.
Acuo said with a smile, "Everyone has something to eat!" Haha, "You said you would eat this." Xiaopei's eyes were wide open, and her stomach rolled and she wanted to vomit. Haha, don't throw up yet. This thing is stewed, and it can cure rheumatism," Acuo said as he picked up the snake.
"Unfortunately, there is no pot, it seems that you can only bake it," A Cuo said regretfully. He quickly skinned the snake, cut the snake meat into pieces and put it on the branches, and the men helped raise the fire. After the snake meat was roasted, the group of people felt that it tasted a little similar to chicken and was full of delicious food.
Zhou Xirui did not eat snake meat. He peeled the rabbit that Acuo hit, roasted it finely, pulled off most of it and handed it to Xiaopei, and he devoured it himself.
The next morning, Acuo finally got a suede, which solved the food problem. After a full meal, everyone baked the rest and put it in a bag as dry food. In the afternoon, I entered the giant urn area full of huge stone urn, which looked very flat and empty, and there was not even a few grass. Only a few hundred tons of large stone urns are spread all over.
These large stone urn are three stories high, and the largest one is at least five stories high. Each urn is covered with fine holes, and there are some round stone holes at the bottom. I don't know what's inside.
Several people put the salad and escorted him in front. He looked around tremblingly and kept a certain distance from the stone urns in fear, as if there were monsters inside that wanted to take him away at any time. Everyone looked at him like this and walked carefully behind him.
As I walked, I seemed to hear someone talking in my ear. When I listened carefully, it seemed to come from those big stone urn. This aroused the curiosity of several young people. Does anyone live in it?
"Let's go in and have a look?" Zhou Xirui turned around and said to everyone that Acuo nodded, leaving only Sala, Su Fa and Uncle Li who were not willing to go in. Then you wait here. Let's go in and have a look and come out." Zhou Xirui turned around and said to the three people, who trembling and said, "Come out quickly!"
Zhou Xirui lit the torch he carried and was ready to walk at night. This was prepared in advance when A Cuo thought of passing by here in case it was dark or met a beast. They drilled through the narrow hole. Unexpectedly, the space inside was much larger. The inner holes were intertwined like blood vessels in the heart, and there were many small rooms like rooms, which was like a natural residence.
They followed the sound of their ears and searched in a small room. When they were about to find the center, Xiaopei found that there were some animal scales on the ground, silver dollar-sized, illuminated by torches with cyan light? What kind of animal fell from? Everyone looked at it and was a little scared.
"Let's go out? I don't know what lives in it. What if it's a carnivorous animal? Liu Peng said, "Carnivores! Great, just catch it and see what kind of monster it is?" John's mind is full of American adventurous spirit, but when he hears of predators, he becomes energetic.
"If you don't want to go in, go back first. If you are willing to go in and have a look, follow me and continue to walk in," A Cuo said. No, it's very big. It's easy to hide animals. Once people are separated, the risk factor will increase. Go in and have a look!" Zhong Yueming disagreed.
You're right to think about it. There is only one torch, and others can't touch it out! So they continued to walk in. After getting into a small room, they found that it was full of animal eggs. Some of their fists were big, and some had begun to hatch. The hatched cubs are a little like lizards, but there are sword-shaped bulges on their backs and horn-shaped bulges on their heads. These little things make one after another, making the noisy elephant vegetable market here. It turns out that the sound heard outside is their calls.
Zhong Yueming grabbed one curiously: "What is this thing? Lizard? Dinosaurs?" Suddenly, everyone heard a loud exhalation and looked over there. Oh, my God! The huge monster over there was staring at them with lantern-like eyes and exhaling. Its toad-like tongue stretched out and licked it outside its mouth and shrank back. The monster's eyes are bright in the dark, and they look exactly like the little thing hatched in the egg.
"Run!" Zhou Xirui roared, and everyone hurried to the mouth of the cave. Seeing that he was about to be chased out by the monster, he threw the torch over and stopped the monster for the time being. They ran out of the big stone urn and called the three people in front of the cave to run quickly.
The three people outside heard the shouting and ran away in horror, but the old and young Sarah was left behind. After the monster in the big stone urn ran out, he bit his head in a few steps, held it in his mouth, shook it hard twice, and his head was pulled off alive and swallowed it. Then he stepped on him, tore his body with his mouth, and swallowed it piece by piece.
At this time, the monsters in the big stone urn ran out when they heard the movement and surrounded them in all directions. Uncle Li and Su Fa were so scared that their tears and snots came down. Xiaopei asked everyone to put the corpse powder sachet on the edge of their nose and blew the soul song.
Soon the monsters swayed their bodies drunk and fell to the ground and fell asleep. Taking advantage of this gap, everyone ran wildly until they were far away from these stone urn and could not see them, so they stopped to rest.
Everyone hit the torch on their way overnight. Finally, after walking for another day and a half, they came to a crowded place. They stopped a car on a highway. The mountain road in Laos is very difficult to walk. During the dry season, there is only one bus every day from Brown to Nabe for 9 hours. They were lucky enough to stop the car.
Lao's mountain roads are very characteristic, with frequent ups and downs. The road conditions are comparable to the Sichuan-Tibet Road in the 1980s. Because it often goes up and down, the average speed is less than 30 kilometers per hour. Many people don't want to come here to travel. One reason is that the political situation here is not very stable. Although the guerrillas have been basically eliminated, there are still a small number of them hidden in the deep mountains. You can see many young militiamen with guns along the way. Su Fa is fine in the car, which is the reason why the travel agency's business is not good now. So why don't you change your job? Everyone asked him curiously, "Well, my income is also good in Laos. Anyway, the things here are cheap, and many of the daily necessities are made in China," he said with a smile.
It seems that this Laos is not bad. It uses things made in China, and everyone instinctively has a sense of intimacy. During the Vietnam War, the United States dropped hundreds of millions of bombs here to prevent the Vietnamese Communist Party from bypassing to support the combat troops in front of them. They saw in the car that they could see a large number of craters, houses and temple debris in the fields. It seems that the United States has brought extremely profound disasters to this third world country.
"Look at what you Americans do, be careful. People here are hateful of Americans." Su Fa said viciously to John. I was not born when I bombed here. It's none of my business!" John spread his hands and said innocently. Su Fa ignored him, and it seemed that he still had an insoluble bump in his heart.
After arriving at Nabe, they found the best hotel to stay. After taking a shower and changing clothes, they chatted with the hotel owner while eating in the lobby.
The owner of this hotel is very good at English and has rich experience. He has worked in more than a dozen countries. During his speech, Zhong Yueming felt that he was an anarcho nationalist and talked to John about a lot of anarchy. At first, he thought that the boss was a nationalist movement, but later found that he was actually very hostile to the United States and Vietnam and sneered at his own government.
Zhong Yueming estimated that he was free probably because he was a nationalist. The boss's name is Kongkeo. After talking a lot, they gradually understand the current situation in Laos. They were surprised to find that he is a quite famous and capable person here. Moreover, he is only 28 years old and has a very beautiful wife. She is not only beautiful in the local area, but also a miniature beauty in Singapore or the mainland. This woman is not only beautiful, but also hardworking and capable. She is basically busy taking care of the hotel business.
This woman is his second wife. In Lao culture, a man can have three wives. However, he and his wife are relatively open people in this backward country. They met on the plane. Zhong Yueming suspected that his wife used to be a stewardess. So his wife did not allow his man to have other women, so Kongkeo divorced his ex-wife. He has two Toyota SUVs and says he can take them to the Cambodian border for 6 dollars per person per day. And he repeatedly stressed to Zhong Yueming that although his fees are very low in the local area, the quality of his service is absolutely the best.
The next day, the group hired kongkeo and his car to go to the border between Cambodia and Laos. The car drove through the mountains, passing by the lights, or a cliff or a bottomless cliff. In order to eliminate the fear in their hearts, everyone ate fruit while talking and bypassed one mountain after another. They didn't know how many mountains were ahead.
The vehicle elevation table allows them to know the altitude of walking at any time. At 9 p.m., the mountain began to fog, and the visibility was extremely low. The front was white. The high beams could not see the road clearly, so they had to use the low beams and move forward at a speed of 30 yards. It went straight down to 800 meters above sea level that there was no fog. Everyone was finally relieved.
They slept beautifully in a family hotel run by a Laot in Daniel. It felt good, 100,000 yuan a night, and there was a yard for parking.
The next day, it started from Daniel to the Cambodian border, and it began to rain. The car was driving in the rain and suddenly shook it. It taxied on the road. The front of the car slid obliquely to the roadside. Fortunately, Kongkeo dealt with it calmly. At this time, the car was already on the road. Finally, with his efforts, it stopped on the side of the road. Everyone was so scared that their hearts beat wildly, and there was a deep abyss below! Kongkeo quickly got out of the car to check and found no problem. It may be caused by the severe wear of the wheels and the reduction of adhesion due to the water on the road area. He calmed down and went back on the road. Kongkeo was more careful in the road behind.
Perhaps because there were fewer vehicles there, I came across a roadside village with free-range cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks walking on the road. They did not know how to avoid the vehicles, so kongkeo had to wait patiently for the poultry to pass before driving away.
Once I met a group of chickens walking leisurely on the road and had crossed more than half of the road. Kongkeo's car planned to pass behind them. Maybe he was frightened, several chickens suddenly turned back and hit the front windshield. Suddenly, the chicken feathers flew all over the sky and rolled The falling chicken ran into the bushes and looked around and did not find the killed chicken. He thought it was just a bump. He drove more than 100 kilometers to the next rest point. A Cuo found that the chicken was stuck on the license plate: "Haha, the delicious food brought." He smiled at everyone with the chicken. In the evening, everyone cooked a pot of native chicken turtle in the hotel, which tasted delicious.
