Volume 3 Chapter 4: Continue to follow

After buying their tickets, the group went straight into the scenic area. We followed cautiously, staying far behind.

There were not many people in the scenic area, so we were afraid that they would discover us, so we could only sneak into the bushes. After following for a while, we already felt a bit overwhelmed.

At the foot of Snake The foot of Snake Head Mountain is actually already in the area of Snake Head Mountain. The several tourist attractions here are all paved with stone, so it is not difficult to walk. The mountain road winds and twists along the mountain, with mountain streams and many famous cliff carvings on both sides. The scenery is beautiful, but this group of people went straight all the way without stopping to admire it, as if they were not at all interested in the scenery of the Qinling Mountains.

My physical condition has been good recently, so I didn’t feel much while walking. Lao Yan, on the other hand, had no time to exercise while doing hard labor in prison, so his heart and lung functions were far worse than mine.

The mountain became quieter and quieter as we walked, and we dared not speak. We followed them in silence until it was dark, and the moon was up for the first half of the night before the group stopped.

We We found a bush far away and squatted down to keep an eye on them. At this time, Lao Yang pulled me, and I looked back at him. I saw that he was pale and sweating profusely. I knew that he couldn’t hold on any longer, so I hurriedly gave him some saliva to let him rest.

While panting, Lao Yang said to me, “Lao Wu, I think we should just forget about it. They can do their own thing, and we can do ours. If we keep following them, I’m going to collapse.”

I thought to myself I was almost there myself, and when I heard him say that, I was very unhappy. I whispered, “I said, damn it, you’ve only been in the brothel for three years, how come you’re so useless? Now you’re not following… haven’t all those sins just been in vain? Bite your teeth and hold on.”

Lao Yang said, “Then how much longer do you think you have to follow… have they stopped at the right place?”

I looked at them and said, “No, it’s still too shallow here, there’s still a long way to go before we get to the other side of the mountain. I think they’re tired and resting. Look They built a fire and were going to stay here for the night. We didn’t waste any time either, and we filled our stomachs and went to sleep.

We also settled down and found a place to make a fire, but unfortunately we couldn’t make a fire in the middle of the night. If we did, we would be discovered. We couldn’t dry our clothes and shoes even if they were soaked in sweat. We could have roasted the dry food and eaten it, but now we could only eat it cold and dry. Lao Yi sighed and complained about my bad idea.

I also I regretted it and felt bad, but I didn’t like what Lao Yan said, so I scolded him, saying, “If you can’t even stand a little hardship, then let’s go back. Otherwise, if we go further into the mountains, we’ll probably have to escape back here.”

Lao Yan was depressed for a long time, and then suddenly said, “No, Lao Wu, this passive way of following them is not a solution. I don’t know if they are going to cross the mountain. If they go straight into the forest along the mountain, we’ll be finished.”

When I I heard it and my heart sank. I thought to myself, “Of course, I thought that the people who entered the mountain were going to cross the mountain. If these people don’t cross the mountain, but wander around nearby, won’t they get killed?”

This is really a difficult situation. I can’t ask them, so I looked at the fire in front of me and suddenly froze.

Lao Yang Seeing that I had no idea what to do, he sighed and thought for a moment, saying that if I was counting on him to finish the job, he would have to eavesdrop on the men and find out what they were up to.

I had no choice but to agree, but I was worried about him going alone, so I followed him.

All the way We walked quietly, but the mountain was so quiet that we could hear them talking after we had walked for a short distance. Lao Yi pulled me and indicated that we could hide here and didn’t need to go any further.

I nodded and we both crouched down, holding our breath. We heard them laughing there. To our surprise, there were two people inside talking with a strong Cantonese accent.

This was really strange. I had never heard of Cantonese people doing this.

They were laughing and joking. All I could hear was a young voice saying, “Uncle Tai, can you estimate how long it will take to get there? My legs are about to give out.”

A hoarse voice replied, “I told you to cultivate yourself, but you just know how to eat, drink, gamble, and fool around with women. I’m telling you, it’ll take two days to get to Snakehead Mountain if there’s a road, and I can’t say for sure if there isn’t a road. If you If you can’t take it, go down the mountain now and stop dragging me down.”

The young man was obviously a bit wary of Uncle Tai and said, ‘I’ve been a bit weak lately, but don’t worry, if this deal goes through, we won’t have to come to this mountain valley again. We’ll follow Boss Wang and Boss Li to Hong Kong to see the sights and live like the upper class, right?’

A man with a a man with a Cantonese accent said, “Hey, hey, no problem. We agreed, you get the goods, we get as much as we want. This is a lifetime deal. When it’s done, everyone can retire. There’s plenty of room to spend money in the colorful world of Hong Kong. It’s worth it to work so hard.”

Tai said, “Mr. Li, don’t be so optimistic. Whether this place is there or not is up to you to say. Don’t give us false information and let us down.”

Mr. Li replied, “Oh, I’m telling you, you old Thai, you’re just too suspicious. We’ve been working together for so long, and I’ve never missed a beat. To be honest with you, as long as you’ve been to the place we’re going this time, you won’t want to dig up the tomb of the first emperor Qin.”

Uncle Tai Uncle Tai obviously didn’t like to hear this kind of flattery, and he sneered, “I don’t believe that. Don’t be so forward. To be honest, we have been working together for many years, but I have never known where you get this information. This is the last time. If you don’t have any taboos, tell my brothers so that my brothers can also learn something.”

“Yes, tell us!” The young man immediately agreed, “I can brag to my women in the future!”

Old Li board smiled and replied, “Oh, you two… really… if you really want to know, I can tell you, but I’m afraid you won’t believe it.”
