Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Guide
Province H.
A few hours later, Wei Xiaobao and his party finally arrived in Province H, and their luck was not bad, there was a car rental company not far from the airport hall.
"We're going to rent three vans. ”
Wei Xiaobao found the staff of the leasing company and explained his intention.
"Yes, a deposit of 5,000 for one car and 15,000 for three cars, sign an agreement and leave a copy of your ID card. ”
The staff raised their eyes and glanced at Wei Xiaobao, a little lazy.
"What is a copy of my ID card?"
Wei Xiaobao looked at the staff suspiciously, with a blank expression.
"What's that?"
The staff was even more dazed than Wei Xiaobao, and couldn't help but look Wei Xiaobao up and down.
"I know the ID card, what is the photocopy?"
Wei Xiaobao continued to ask blankly.
"Big brother, are you kidding me, aren't you? Which primitive tribe did you run from?"
The staff looked at Wei Xiaobao with a somewhat stunned expression.
"Master, give me your ID card. ”
Just before the two of them were about to be completely confused, Zhong Ling came to Wei Xiaobao's side, took Wei Xiaobao's ID card, and walked to the photocopier not far away.
Soon, Zhong Ling handed over a copy of his ID card to the staff, and then signed an agreement and paid a deposit.
"Huma County??"
The staff looked at the destination filled in the agreement and looked at Wei Xiaobao and the others with a surprised expression.
"Yes. ”
Wei Xiaobao smiled.
"You're running far enough, it's not too peaceful over there, I can't care about people, but don't lose my car." ”
The staff said and handed the three keys to Wei Xiaobao.
Wei Xiaobao frowned and took the key.
After getting into three cars, the group of more than 20 people set off again in the direction of their destination. But Wei Xiaobao's heart was suddenly a little suspicious, from the words and eyes of the staff just now, it seemed that this road would not be smooth.
But since you're here, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of you, you have to break through.
......
The car drove for a long time, so long that the whole vehicle felt that the next second was going to be upside down, from high speed to low speed, and then to the mountain road, I don't know how many directions I changed, and finally arrived at the second destination of this trip, Huma County.
According to the location shown on the map, Luding Mountain is located in the upper reaches of the Huma River near Huma County, from here, there is no specific walking route on the map, and from here, the surrounding is full of primeval jungle, except for a piece of verdant green, nothing can be seen, and even the road is not known. So I can only find a local to be a guide, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to get in and out.
After everyone got out of the car, they went around the village to find the location of Luding Mountain, and by the way to see if they could find a guide who could lead the way.
But Wei Xiaobao miscalculated, originally he thought that money could make ghosts grind, as long as there was enough money, there would definitely be people scrambling to be guides, but what puzzled him was that not to mention the guides, no one even told them the location of Luding Mountain, as long as they just said the three words of Luding Mountain, everyone shook their heads, as if they were hiding from the plague.
After looking around, they found nothing, so the group reunited and found a restaurant, intending to eat something first.
The county seat is very small, it seems to be very poor, the restaurant is also very small, there are no dishes on the table, and after ordering a few random things, everyone began to discuss what to do next.
"Boss, give me something to eat. ”
At this moment, an old man dressed in tatters came to the door of the hotel, stretched out his thin hand, held a bowl that could barely hold something, and said with an old face and a little pleading.
"Why are you here again? This is for you? Come every day? Why don't I open it, just wait for you!"
The owner of the hotel looked at the old man dissatisfiedly and said impatiently.
"The last time, the last time, we haven't eaten much in two days. ”
The old man smiled, a pleading look in his eyes.
"You've been saying that since last month, one last time, one last time, this time, and next time. No, let's go!"
The boss had a calm face and had already begun to drive the old man away.
"Give him something to eat, I'll please. ”
At this time, Wei Xiaobao, who was sitting inside, spoke.
The boss turned his head and looked at Wei Xiaobao suspiciously, a little surprised.
"Lao Tie, you don't know him, why do you care about him, he has been going to eat for a lifetime, and there is no one in the whole county who he hasn't been to ask for food, he is lazy to eat all day long, and he is a waste who eats and waits for death. ”
The boss bit his head and kindly reminded Wei Xiaobao.
"It's okay, this meal is mine, let him in. ”
Wei Xiaobao smiled and handed the boss a few hundred-yuan bills.
For the sake of money, the boss reluctantly let the old man in, and then went to the back kitchen to prepare food.
"Sit. ”
Wei Xiaobao looked at the old man who walked in slowly and leisurely, and pointed to a chair next to him.
The old man smiled and bowed to Wei Xiaobao, sat on the chair, looked at the food on the table, and swallowed his saliva.
"Eat. ”
Wei Xiaobao smiled and pointed to the food on the table, signaling that the old man could eat.
The old man smiled and nodded, he didn't even bother to take the chopsticks, and directly began to grab and eat them, gobbling them up.
"Little brother gave too much money just now, one is enough, it's better to give me the rest. ”
The old man was eating in a big gulp, while looking at Wei Xiaobao and said, he couldn't stop his mouth from eating, and he was still thinking about the extra hundred yuan bills that Wei Xiaobao gave to the boss just now.
"If you want to make money, I have a better way here, which can make you earn several times more than him. ”
Wei Xiaobao looked at the old man and threw out the olive branch that had just flashed a flash of inspiration.
"Really, how do you earn it?"
The old man's eyes immediately lit up and he was in good spirits.
"Be our guide and take us to Luding Mountain. ”
Wei Xiaobao slowly said his purpose.
"Where?"
The old man frowned and looked at Wei Xiaobao in surprise.
"Luding Mountain. ”
Wei Xiaobao repeated.
As soon as the words fell, the old man suddenly stood up, didn't say hello, and hurriedly walked outside the hotel, his face pale.
"Commission 100,000. ”
Looking at the old man who left in a hurry, Wei Xiaobao said with a smile, looking like he was in control of everything.
The old man, who was originally in a hurry, stopped, turned his head to look at Wei Xiaobao, looked up and down, and looked embarrassed, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
After a long time.
"I'm only responsible for taking you to Luding Mountain, you can go up by yourself, okay?"
The old man discussed.
"Take us in, take us out, give you 500,000. ”
Wei Xiaobao continued to increase his stacks.
The old man listened to Wei Xiaobao's words, his eyes widened, and he looked at Wei Xiaobao in disbelief.
"Really?"
The old man confirmed.
Wei Xiaobao didn't speak, and nodded affirmatively.
"Okay, but you have to listen to me all the way, don't run, don't look, don't move!"
The old man made his request, and his expression began to be solemn.
Wei Xiaobao readily agreed.
After a lot of twists and turns, the guide was finally found, and although this guide seemed a little unreliable no matter how you looked at it, it was better than nothing.
After eating, under the leadership of the old man, everyone bought some food and drink in the county town, and finally set off towards the mysterious Luding Mountain.
