The night was uneventful, but early in the morning, I suddenly heard a commotion.

When he unzipped the tent, he saw Lie Shengnan leading an old man into the courtyard gate.

I know that old man, it is Nie Laohan, the village chief of Wolong Village.

"Look, village chief, it's that half a fan of pork, and as a reward for you, please help me find the best guide. I'm going into the mountains today. I saw Lie Shengnan hugging the old village chief and said sweetly.

The old village chief's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said with a smile: "What is Officer Lie doing, helping the police comrades is originally the duty of our village party secretary, you see, I want you to break the bank." ”

"You just keep calling me Xiaolie, you deserve it. Without you, I'm really blind, so don't shirk when you get old. Lie Shengnan persuaded diligently.

I couldn't help but laugh to myself.

This woman is really persistent, ready to kick us away and go into the mountain alone. They also want to be one step ahead of us and occupy the most advantageous resources in the mountains.

Outrageous?

I got out of the tent and stretched wide.

When the old village chief saw me, he said in surprise, "Isn't this Mr. Di last time?"

"It's me, the old village chief, the guide is bothering you more, I'll carry the pork to your house when you stay." ”

Lie Shengnan's eyes widened, and he said, "Di Feng, what do you mean? This pork is mine, and the guide I invited is naturally mine." ”

"It's all yours, and you can't enter this mountain, besides, don't say that I have words first. Even if you invite a guide, it's just the two of you, and the guide won't agree to enter the mountain. ”

I said indifferently, walked to the edge of the well by myself, and washed my face.

The old village chief said in surprise: "Aren't you with Officer Li?"

"Of course not, I have nothing to do with them. Liesheng gave me a blank look.

The old village chief suddenly looked at Lie Shengnan unhurriedly and said, "Mr. Di is right, if you come alone, even if I hire the best guide for you, he will not agree to follow you into the mountain." In this mountain, the situation is very complicated, even the mountain people who have lived here for generations, if they want to go deep into the mountains and old forests, they all go together, at least three people, it is relatively safe. Just because if there is a mistake and someone is injured, it is difficult for a person to carry him out of the mountain. Officer Lie, I advise you to go back, find a few more helpers, and it's not too late to come. ”

"No, I'm here, I have something very important, I must enter the mountain immediately, it's a big deal, I'll ask two guides. Lie Shengnan gritted his teeth and let go.

At this time, Zhou Zihao and the others also got out of their respective tents.

Hearing this, Zheng Dashao was not angry and said: "In this village, there are only a few guides, and you have invited two of them, so what should we do? You woman, you are quite ruthless, although the pig was hit by you, it was killed by our brothers who were busy for a long time." What is yours?"

"Young Master Zheng, you are also here, you are really a distinguished guest here, go, go to the old man's house, the old man asked his mother-in-law to stew the best game for Young Master Zheng. The village chief said happily.

The Zheng family has been operating a medicinal material business for decades on the line in and out of Wolong Ridge, and there are no young and strong old people in the villages along the line who do not know the Zheng family in Tulong Town.

"Uncle Nie, she's just a fake policeman, a fox and a fake tiger, don't pay attention to her, you still hurry up to help us find a guide, we are still in a hurry to go into the mountains, we want to eat, and when we come back, I invite you to go to Pearl City for a walk, what do you think." Zheng Dashao said with a smile.

"Oh, that's good, they all say that the Pearl City, luxurious is like the palace, my old man wants to visit the sixth brother several times, Lu Yuan is afraid of motion sickness, and he hasn't made the trip, he is old, and he can't accept the old one. The old village chief sighed.

Zheng Dashao walked in front of him and said, "Uncle Nie, let's come back this time, you will take the whole family, take my car, go back to Pearl City, go there, you can stay as long as you want." ”

"Hey, your Zheng family, you are the living bodhisattvas of our mountain people, go, uncle, go find you a guide, ask for the best. The old village chief took Zheng Dashao's hand and walked out the door.

"Alas, the old village chief ......"

Lie Shengnan was about to catch up, but the old village chief turned a deaf ear.

Zhou Zihao picked up the picnic mat from yesterday, put it on his shoulder, carried the half of the pork, followed Zheng Dashao, and went out of the courtyard together.

Lie Sheng was so angry that tears almost burst out of his eyes, he stomped on the ground twice, turned around, and stared at me with dead eyes, as if he was going to swallow me in one bite.

I walked up to me with a smile and said, "Officer Lie, I'm curious, what are you doing in the mountains at the risk of your life alone?"

"Do you want to take care of it?" said Liesheng manly.

"Anyway, we're here to play, it's not too much for you to have more, it's not too little for you to be less, if you have to go into the mountains, you can consider joining us." We don't have a destination anyway. We'll go where you're going, and you'll think about it, and when the guide comes, we'll be on our way. I said indifferently.

Lie Shengnan looked at me vigilantly and said, "Why are you helping me?"

"Don't think about it, in my father's case, you and Section Chief Zhao have done a lot of work, even if it is a kind of gratitude, the most important thing is that they don't delay anything. ”

After that, I began to pack my tent and supplies and prepare for entering the mountain.

Lie Shengnan stared at me suspiciously for a long time, as if he had finally made up his mind, bit his red lip and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, but I have one condition." ”

"You say. "I was so excited that the fish had finally taken the bait.

Actually, I could knock her out and rob her of the satellite locator without saying a word.

But that is completely unnecessary, but it will lead to a fire, not to mention that Liesheng Nan is still a good official medium, and I am gracious.

I only heard Lie Shengnan say: "I can leave if I want to go, stop if I want to, and you are not allowed to ask me why, and you are not allowed to interfere with my actions." If you agree, I'll go with you into the mountains. ”

"Brother Feng, I think this woman is crazy, let's take her, we have to listen to her command, why? I was the first to disagree. Zhang Mengmeng frowned and said.

"You can set the destination, and we don't interfere with your freedom, but the team has to listen to us if it wants to go and stop. Do you love to go or not. I said indifferently, calmly in my heart.

I know that Lieshengnan will definitely agree.

We all know each other, we are all acquaintances, and there is a woman in the team.

If she really hired two guides, even if she entered the mountain, it would be inconvenient, not to mention that the best guide was already ours.

She thought about it for a while, and finally put down her body and said in a cold voice: "Just listen to you, I'll go pack up my equipment and call me when I leave." ”

With that, she strode out of the courtyard.

A boulder in my heart has finally landed, and with satellite positioning, the odds of finding Chihiro have increased exponentially, and I can't help but feel nervous.

After a while, I heard footsteps outside the courtyard gate again.

Zhou Zihao, Zheng Dashao, the old village chief and a young man entered the courtyard gate together.

The young man looked to be only twenty-five or sixteen, with a simple appearance and a strong body, although he was not very tall, but the muscles on his legs were knotted, and at first glance he had been trained by running on the mountain road for many years.

The old village chief introduced us with a smile: "His name is Nie Zhuang, his nickname is Gouwa, and he is my nephew. Since he was a child, he has followed his grandfather, going over the mountains and mountains to collect medicine, and he has a clear understanding of this ravine within a radius of 100 miles. He has a strong body, and he has a good ability to hunt, so when jackals or wild boars come in his spare time, they can't hurt him. With him with you, I'm relieved. ”

"Thank you, old village chief. We thanked each other in unison and said hello to the dog baby again.

The dog baby man was very shy, scratching the back of his head incessantly, and he didn't know what to say.

His eyes were bright, and although he was not good at words, he could see that he was also a clever and agile person.

At this time, I only saw two aunts behind me, carrying a large porcelain basin of wild boar noodles, and walked over.

The old village chief hurriedly greeted: "You have come from afar, and you are about to enter the mountain again, the time is in a hurry, and there is nothing to entertain you, so I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, cooked a pot of noodles with the wild boar, and ate breakfast, so that I had the strength to enter the mountain." ”

We all had a knowing smile on our faces and gathered around.
