Chapter 1 Departure

Fat Ma closed the door of the store and went all the way to the railway station.

After a long journey, I first arrived at the capital of Heilongjiang Province. When I got off the train, I regretted it. It was too cold. I came in a hurry and brought clothes that were only suitable for the weather in the south.

I was shivered as soon as I got out of the car. Fatty Ma is better than me. That flesh is more than enough to withstand such a little cold.

Our costumes attracted the surprised eyes of the people at the railway station. We had no choice but to buy clothes and transfer directly to Gagdaqi, the gateway of the Greater Khingan Mountains.

After getting off the bus here, I opened the map and looked at it, marked Mohe.

It was tossed for a while, and finally arrived at Mohe, which took more than a week and all of them were delayed on the road.

Xing'an is composed of three parts, large and small Xing'anling and Waixing'anling, but Waixing'anling has been occupied by Lao Maozi.

So strictly speaking, we can only reach the Xing'an Mountains.

After Fatty Ma and I got out of the car, we were already tossed around and found a fellow villager to lead the way.

The fellow villagers were very enthusiastic about us. He asked us to call him Lao Zhang, but we politely called him Uncle Zhang. Lao Zhang took us to the forest farm he belonged to. At this time, we were able to see the Xing'an Mountains at close range. The forest is green, the green is endless, the scenery is gloering, and a gust of wind blows, and the air feels sweet. The only bad thing is that it is too cold.

Lao Zhang said, "Our forest farm belongs to the Greater Khingan Mountains, the east of the Nenjiang River is called the Greater Khingan Mountains, and the west of the Nenjiang River is called the Greater Khingan Mountains." Then he asked us, "Are you going to the Greater Xing'an Mountains or the Xing'an Mountains?"

Fat Ma looked at me and waited for me to answer, but I didn't know how to answer for a moment. The location left on the paper only said Xing'anling.

Fat Ma shook his head at me, as if he hated steel. He said to Lao Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, we are here to investigate and plan to do some small business. It doesn't matter whether it's big or small."

When Lao Zhang heard that Fatty Ma came to do business, he became more enthusiastic and praised us for his vision. He came to the right place to do business. The products here are abundant, which is definitely the best choice as a raw material base.

Since the normalization of the market, the enthusiasm for doing business in China has not diminished, which has affected a generation.

At that time, people on the border of Heilongjiang often did business with Lao Maozi.

The fellow villagers brought us into his home and warmly treated me and Fatty Ma.

"Oh no!" Fat Ma suddenly said.

I was wronged by his words, and I asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

Fat Ma replied, "I forgot to tell the clay figurine where to meet."

I don't blame Fat Ma. Speaking of it, it's all my fault. I neglected that the area of Xing'anling is so large.

Lao Zhang seemed to see our difficulties, so he said to us, "Don't worry, I'll help you find out the news."

I hurriedly thanked Fat Ma and asked Fatty Ma to pay Lao Zhang.

After receiving the reward, Lao Zhang said to me and Fatty Ma: You are also tired all the way. Let's take a rest here first. Fat Ma and I answered, and the fellow villagers retreated.

Fat Ma and I are lying on the hot pit.

Fat Ma said, "I'll take a squint first!" After saying that, he fell asleep soon. I sat on the bed and didn't feel sleepy. Judging from the contents of the package I received, there was no specific address in it. The area of Xing'anling is so large that we are not familiar with each other. It is difficult to find someone, even if it is to find a place.

Fat Ma turned over and saw me sitting by the bed in a daze. He asked me, "Sun, why haven't you slept yet!"

I replied, "I'm not sleepy."

Fat Ma sat up straight, wiped his face hard, and lit a cigarette. Then he said, "Don't worry, wait for the news!"

That's all there is to do.

After smoking this cigarette, Fat Ma fell asleep again.

I was also a little sleepy and fell asleep unconsciously. I don't know how long it took, Lao Zhang woke me up.

I gasped for Fatty Ma, and Fatty Ma also woke up confusedly.

Lao Zhang told us to find a stranger and wait for us in the outer room.

I got up and put on my shoes and saw a man standing in the outer room wrapped in clothes.

I recognized it at a glance, and Fatty Ma threw himself up rudely, "I miss you so!" Ma Pang shouted.

The clay figurine couldn't push him away and shouted, "It's disgusting."

After the greeting, the clay figurine scolded us for not being authentic, and the destination was not clear, so that he didn't know how long he had been tossed around. Fortunately, there is this fellow villager, otherwise I will go back home.

Fatty Ma smiled and scolded: Clay, don't do this.

Lao Zhang saw that we were chatting enthusiastically and said: You talk first, and I'll go out to do something. I thanked Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang waved to me as a thank you, and then walked out.

The clay figurine looked at Lao Zhang out of the door and asked me, "Lao Sun, do you have any news?"

I shook my head and said, "No, I guess I have to wait."

The clay fig man asked me to show him what I received.

I took something out of my backpack and gave it to the clay figurine. The clay figurine first looked at the paper, then looked at the map, and then looked at the photo.

After that, he will say in an emotional tone, "Lao Sun, your partner is very beautiful!"

Fat Ma immediately echoed, "Chi man, you have a good vision! This is my hilly girl!" After saying that, he smiled and recalled the past: "At the beginning, I still gave Lao Sun the red thread!"

I quickly asked Fatty Ma to stop. God knows what he is going to talk nonsense next. Fortunately, the clay figurine is not a gossip person.

The clay figurine returned the letter paper and photos to me, picked up the map and looked at it carefully. He is serious, yu! He made a sound and twisted the edge of the map with his hand.

"What's the matter," I asked hurriedly.

"Don't be suspicious! "The clay fig man" said the fat horse.

"No, this map hides a mystery." The clay figurine voice was a little excited.

Fat Ma and I are waiting for his follow-up,

The clay figurine tore open the map with his hand, and there were two layers. After tearing it apart, there is a small map inside.

My breathing got worse. The clay figurine looked at it for a while and handed it to me. After I took it, I looked at it carefully. Fatty Ma came forward, took a look and took back his eyes. Fatty Ma was completely uninterested in these things.

This is a small map, which should be a specific location in Xing'anling, mainly marked with the location of a small lake, which is the most distinguishable.

The clay figurine pointed to the small map and said, "This should be the place he wants us to go."

I subconsciously nodded.

Fat Ma asked, "Mudman, how did you find that this map is double-layered?"

The clay figurine replied proudly, "I have practiced!"

Fat Ma said disdainfully, "The cow has gone to the sky to eat grass." The clay figurine was speechless by Fatty Ma.

I looked at this picture carefully, but I had no idea at all, so I had to seek Lao Zhang's help.

When I showed the small map to Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang's face changed significantly. He said to us, "You can't go to this place!"

Fat Ma asked, "Why can't you go?"

"This small lake is in a virgin forest in the Greater Khingan Mountains, and few people have set foot in it. When the country was just liberated, a National Geographic measurement team was sent into the mountain, but it never came out again.

Lao Zhang whispered to us, "I heard that they are all dead."

"Later, the armed police went into the mountain to find the body and disappeared and was sealed, but there was still a sporadic rumor. I heard that the death of those people was extremely tragic."

Lao Zhang took a cold breath when he said this. He still said with a frightened expression on his face.

"Is it so scary!" Fatty Ma's volume also became smaller and asked.

Lao Zhang said, "Only those who have been there in person can know this, but those who have been there are dead. Even a tour guide who was invited to die in the mountains, but he is the best hunter here and my childhood playmate, with a sad expression on his face.

It seems difficult! I thought to myself.

The clay figurine has a rigorous face.

Lao Zhang thought we had let it down and looked at us with satisfaction.

I took the map from Lao Zhang and asked, "Can anyone take us into the mountain?"

Lao Zhang's face darkened.
