Chapter 219 Director Li heard you peeing
"Shh! Firing shots can certainly notify our people, but it will also quickly expose us. Have you ever thought about it? We don't know anything about their situation. If they are coming for us, they should have some idea of our number and equipment." Li Mengman said.
Deputy Director Zhang stopped talking. He began to admire Li Mengman. No wonder the people above said that Li Mengman was a rare talent. It seemed that she was really capable. However, this woman was a little arrogant and her trouser pockets were tight. Otherwise, she would have been the director of the headquarters long ago. How could she stay in the mountains and lead a school?
"Let's go back! Where are the wild boars? These days, there is less food and the wild boars have been hunted so hard that they can no longer be seen!" Voices were heard on the path.
"Go back, don't walk until you are too hungry and can't even see any wild boar hairs." said another person.
Li Mengman had already seen clearly that they were indeed a few hunters, and the voices were also those of people from the mountains.
"Don't alarm them." Li Mengman said softly when she saw the hunters were about to return.
Deputy Director Zhang did not say anything. He felt strange that there were voices talking but there was no sign of his sentry.
"Let's go back! Eat some corn, fill your tummy, and have a good sleep. Tomorrow you can shoot a few birds in the nearby mountains." said another person.
"Really? It's all your fault, Wu Kuizi. Why are you thinking about wild boar meat? You're just like a toad wanting to eat swan meat!" said a man and turned to walk down the mountain.
"It was a false alarm!" said Li Mengman.
"Are you sure you're not a spy?" Deputy Director Zhang asked when he saw the hunter walking away.
"They are definitely not spies. Their clothes and voices are all from the local mountain people. Besides, the spies don't know we are hiding here, so how could they talk or walk loudly?" Li Mengman looked at Deputy Director Zhang, "Let's go back."
"Why are you going back? Aren't you going to check on the post?" Deputy Director Zhang looked at Li Mengman in confusion.
"Checking the post? We have already passed the checkpoint. Otherwise, the hunter's noise is so loud, but the checkpoint hasn't moved?" Li Mengman said.
Deputy Director Zhang stopped talking. He had already begun to admire Li Mengman.
Li Mengman walked for a while and said loudly: "The mountain wind is strong!"
After she spoke, there was no response. She continued to walk forward, and after a few steps, she shouted again: "The mountain wind is strong!"
"The wind is strong - it's not raining." A staccato voice answered.
"Bastards! How do you stand guard?" Deputy Director Zhang cursed when he heard the sound of the sentry.
The two sentries stood up in surprise and ran out to ask, "Deputy Director Zhang, you, you guys, are here to check on the guard?"
Deputy Director Zhang looked at the two listless men, pulled out his pistol, and pointed it at them: "I'll shoot you! We passed right under your noses! We ran into a few hunters who went up the mountain to hunt wild boars, and you two didn't make any movement! Tell me, if it was the enemy coming up, would I still be alive?"
"Deputy Director Zhang, please spare us! We were so tired and cold that we hugged each other for warmth and fell asleep!" A man knelt down.
"Hug each other for warmth? I told you two to separate and hide, but you two actually..."
" Forget it , Deputy Director Zhang. Let's punish them when we get back!" said Li Mengman.
Of course Li Mengman knew that Deputy Director Zhang was just putting on an act for her to see. If something like this had happened to the people on guard last night, the four of them would be in big trouble.
After saying this, Li Mengman walked forward.
"We'll strengthen the security!" Deputy Director Zhang said, and chased after Li Mengman, saying, "Director Li, look at me, I really don't manage things strictly. I will rectify this in the future."
"Fortunately, nothing happened." Li Mengman said casually.
"Luck, luck. But we can't rely on luck," Deputy Director Zhang said self-deprecatingly.
Li Mengman stopped talking. She thought, go and reflect on yourself!
Deputy Director Zhang saw that Li Mengman didn't say anything, and knowing that he was boring, he also stopped talking and walked silently. When Li Mengman was about to reach the tent, she suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Deputy Director Zhang thought there was something special going on.
"Someone came out to urinate, and I was afraid of disturbing him." Li Mengman said lightly.
Someone came out to urinate? I didn't hear any sound! How could her hearing be so sensitive? Did she hear the sound of peeing and was afraid that the person peeing would get sick?
While Deputy Director Zhang was thinking this, he heard footsteps coming from behind the tent. He didn't say anything until he saw a figure entering the tent. Then he said softly, "Director Li, I really admire you. You have a really good hearing."
"My hearing is far worse than Que Dongjin's." said Li Mengman.
"Que Dongjin? The Que Dongjin who offered the treasure map? His hearing is better than yours? Why didn't you come along when he offered the treasure map?" Deputy Director Zhang found a topic to get closer to Li Mengman.
But we have reached the tent.
"Go in and have a rest! He has his reasons for not coming." After saying that, Li Mengman went into the small tent.
Li Mengman didn't want to get along with Deputy Director Zhang. She thought that it was too late at night and they had talked too much. She was afraid that Deputy Director Zhang had other intentions. He had already broken into her tent once. She also knew that Deputy Director Zhang was a little afraid of her.
Deputy Director Zhang entered the tent and the man who had just urinated greeted him.
"Director Li heard the sound of you peeing." Deputy Director Zhang suddenly said.
"What? Didn't you go to check on her? I didn't see her! How did she run into me peeing?" the man asked in confusion.
"I was with Director Li, so I didn't hear it, but she did. She has a very good hearing." Deputy Director Zhang thought of Li Mengman's judgment of the hunter, and he secretly admired her in his heart.
"I peed on the grass, and the noise was very quiet. You were with her, and you didn't hear any sound. But she figured out that I was peeing?"
"Yes. I didn't believe it at first. But when I saw you walking out from behind the tent, I was convinced by her. Okay, go to bed. Remember, we must follow Director Li's arrangements and complete the task well." This was the first time in two days that Deputy Director Zhang said he would listen to Li Mengman.
"knew."
"Go to sleep." Deputy Director Zhang said as he lay down with his clothes on, but he was still thinking about Li Mengman.
Li Mengman fell asleep while lying down. Of course, although she fell asleep, she was still very alert. She used the sleeping method of alert in the wild. As long as there was an abnormal sound, she would react quickly.
After dawn, Li Mengman spoke a few words to the expert, who nodded.
Li Mengman found Deputy Director Zhang and said, "Deputy Director Zhang, breakfast will speed up the process. We will soon be close to the cave where the treasure is hidden. Everything should be done early. Besides, when the sun just comes out, it is a good omen."
"Okay. I'll go urge everyone to get ready." Deputy Director Zhang urged his men to hurry up, saying that they had to set off early.
Deputy Director Zhang spoke and everyone got busy.
After a while, everyone had breakfast and set off under the guidance of the experts.
After walking for a while, they felt that the road was getting harder to walk on, or that there was no road at all. Deputy Director Zhang followed the expert's instructions and ordered his men to cut through the thorns and open up a new path.
Under Li Mengman's command, everyone worked hard to cut off the thorns blocking the road. Li Mengman knew that the cave was nearby, and although it was difficult to walk, she was very confident.
Deputy Director Zhang looked at the surrounding mountains and the endless thorns in front of him. There were many big trees and miscellaneous woods in between, and the mountains were high and steep. He was a little skeptical whether he could find the cave where the treasure was hidden.
"Can we find the treasure cave this way? There must be a way out. Did we go the wrong way? Or is there something wrong with the drawings?" Deputy Director Zhang said to the expert.
"Please don't doubt the person who offered the treasure map, and don't doubt the experts. Treasures are not hidden on the roadside. When they hid the treasure, they also cut through thorns and brambles to open a path just like us. However, over the years, thorns grew so densely that the original path disappeared," said Li Mengman.
"You mean, we are just moving forward according to the calculations, and not following the route they took when they hid the treasure?" Deputy Director Zhang finally got it.
"Of course. When they started hiding the treasure, no one knew which direction they walked to the cave, unless the original people were still there. The person who presented the treasure map said that this map was exactly the same as what he saw, and all the necessary marks were marked. However, the original map did not indicate the direct route to the cave." Li Mengman said.
"Okay, I'll let them follow your command," said Deputy Director Zhang.
Deputy Director Zhang once again urged his men to work harder.
About an hour later, the expert said, "We should be there soon! According to calculations, it is only a few hundred meters away. Let's start looking for the cave!"
"Okay, everyone, spread out, use this place as the center, search around, and report to me if you find the entrance to the cave!" said Li Mengman.
When everyone heard this, they started looking around.
After Li Mengman gave the order, she also searched the surroundings carefully.
The expert walked up to Li Mengman and said, "According to my inference, that place is more likely to be the location." He pointed to an area with dense trees.
"Why?" Li Mengman asked.
"It's roughly in this area. The trees there are particularly lush, which shows that it is different from the surrounding environment. It is very likely that there is a river inside the cave, so the soil around it is more moist and easier to retain nutrients..." The expert explained the theory in detail.
"I understand." Li Mengman didn't want to listen to too much theory, so she interrupted the expert and said to everyone, "Hurry up and send a few people to search that place carefully!"
Several people who heard the conversation between the expert and Li Mengman hurried towards the area. Li Mengman followed behind, still looking around. She was no longer looking for a treasure land. She firmly believed in the expert's judgment. She was observing the surrounding environment just in case.
Li Mengman was of course very thoughtful. She was afraid that after discovering the treasure land, she would encounter human resistance. She had to familiarize herself with the surrounding environment so that she could deal with any accidents.
