What surprised Mao Dongming even more was that these seven people were not introduced by the boss, they were introduced by a few friends, they were from different places, in fact, according to his observation, these people knew each other and were very familiar.

This may have been a coincidence, acquaintances bumped into a piece, but this probability is too small, and there is a strange thing, before entering the scenic spot, these people seem to be able to hold back, intentionally or unintentionally pretending to be strange and estranged.

But since the rafting began, they no longer seem to shy away from anything, talking and laughing, and the younger sister of the sisters also flirted with an ugly-looking big black man in front of everyone, which shocked Mao Dongming, and suddenly began to feel disgusted in his heart.

But the other party simply took Mao Dongming as air, sometimes a few guys were communicating in a dialect he didn't understand at all, speaking quickly and urgently, one of them had a particularly fierce look in his eyes, looking at people as if he was cutting a knife, Mao Dongming inadvertently looked at him once, and felt that the back of his spine was bubbling with cold air, and that feeling had never been.

Mao Dongming is an authentic city person, not too bold and not small, from birth, to work has been in the big city, quarrels, fights have seen a lot, but he has not practiced in person, he has also practiced rock climbing in the sports team, before and after a year and a half, I also think I have seen a few hot-tempered ruthless people, but compared with the one in front of me, it is like the difference between a cat and a tiger.

These people are by no means ordinary, Mao Dongming, who came back to his senses, decided to keep an eye on it, easily not to provoke them, and made do with the team, and handed over errands.

So Mao Dongming became the most silent guy in the expedition, the so-called team leader did not live up to his name, designated camp, what time to leave the next day, etc., it was all up to the fierce guy to take the idea, at first he was very blunt to ask for the opinion of the Mao leader, but later he didn't even ask.

Mao Dongming remembered that the pair of sisters was surnamed Yao, and the fierce guy was surnamed Li, and the others were not right, and he was ashamed, he couldn't remember people's names since he was a child, and he couldn't remember them if he had too little contact with these guys.

There was nothing to say all the way, the expedition team came to the predetermined camping site, and began to build a temporary camp collectively, Mao Dongming was dumbfounded, this gang is too professional, not only is the speed quite fast and very skillful in cooperating, a cigarette of kung fu, four tents rise from the ground, not only strong and beautiful, but also neatly aligned, diamond-shaped occupancy, very particular, where is this expedition camp, it is simply a march to fight.

What's even more dumbfounded is that Mao Dongming doesn't know where to set up his small tent?

"Whatever. The fierce guy sent Mao Dongming away with a word, and he seemed to be following behind someone's ass to rub the quota.

There was no way, Mao Dongming finally put his temporary nest at the position of the tail of the diamond, that is, the place closest to the bottom of the hillside.

Dinner was nothing, everyone brought high-calorie instant vegetarian food, the gang gathered in a small circle, chatting while eating, no one came to invite Mao Dongming, he was also very uncomfortable, simply hid in the tent and solved the dinner by himself.

Unexpectedly, not long after the meal, the fierce guy came to him, and suddenly became a lot more polite in his words, and took the initiative to give Mao Dongming a cigarette, which made him flattered and confused.

Sit down and chat, only to know that the other party is mainly to inquire about Xi Laofeng and its surroundings, these matters before departure, Mao Dongming made a brief introduction, but this time the other party asked the questions are quite detailed and professional, including the scenic spot under the mountain, the specific location of the aid station, whether there is a path in the mountain that can go directly to the back mountain and so on.

Mao Dongming has climbed Xi Lao Peak several times, and two of them have successfully reached the top, so he naturally does not have to deal with these problems, but the last question aroused his vigilance, aren't you here to climb the mountain? Why do you still have to find a path to go around the back mountain? I don't know if there is a blockade and martial law over there?

The man surnamed Li suddenly became very able to speak, and told a story to Mao Dongming, saying that he was also entrusted by others, there is a friend in distress, his ancestral home is from eastern Guangdong, he went overseas with his family when he was a teenager, and has never had the opportunity to come back, and now he is seriously ill, and at the last moment, he really wants to see the mountains and rivers of his hometown again, and when he was a child, he hoped to be able to climb Xi Lao Peak, but this wish may be difficult to achieve, so this time the man surnamed Li returned to China, specifically to eastern Guangdong, that is, to climb to the top in person, and take more photos along the way, and also record the legend of the very famous Xi Lao Cave in the photographic lens and bring it back, the time is very rushed, otherwise it will not be so rushed。

Afraid that Mao Dongming would not believe it, this person also turned on his mobile phone, flipped through it with his fingers for a long time, pointed to a color photo of a single person and told Mao Dongming that the middle-aged man in the photo was his buddy and was now lying in the hospital.

Mao Dongming will be suspicious, but it seems that he can't find anything wrong, Boss Cui is in contact with businessmen with backgrounds, and there are more foreign bosses, maybe there is really such a thing, it's quite touching to think about, people are floating outside, to the homeland, people's common feelings.

People are mixed in society, they must have long eyes, they must have long eyes, as long as they don't have bad intentions, the more eyes the better, Mao Dongming has eyes, but not so much, he was so fooled by the man surnamed Li, he didn't think about it deeply, hesitated a little, he still knew everything, he couldn't say anything, he could help others with a few words, there was no need to be so stingy, at this time, the unhappiness that Mao Dongming encountered along the way was also thrown out of the clouds, which cut off his last ray of life.

After Xi Laofeng was closed, the staff of the Hydrological Survey and Disease Control Center were temporarily stationed inside, saying that it was to test the hydrological environment and water pollution of Xi Laofeng Mountain Stream.

This is just an open statement, these staff are actually all active armed police soldiers, as well as national security special services, there are not many people, but they are very capable, and they are carrying weapons up the mountain, which shows how tight the blockade of this source of the virus is.

But Mao Dongming didn't know, so he told the man surnamed Li that there was a watchman at the safety point before, but now he doesn't know what the situation is, as for the aid station, it seems to have been temporarily changed to a hydrological monitoring station, there are about five or six people, and he hasn't been here for a few days, all of which are said by the staff of the scenic spot.

There is indeed an abandoned path halfway up the mountain, it is said that it can go around the back mountain, and there is indeed a Xi Lao Cave along the way, which has never been opened to the outside world, but there are many mentions in the local annals, and Mao Dongming also knows, that is when he first climbed Xi Lao Peak, an old guide hired by the club told everyone, it is said that it is particularly dangerous, not to mention ordinary people, even professionally trained mountaineers dare not try it easily, but where is the specific location, can it be passed, he is even more unclear, and he has not tried.

The man surnamed Li thanked him for his kindness, said that he would take a break, and invited Mao Dongming to lead everyone to conduct adaptive training, familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment, and put down a stack of honorariums and beautiful knives when they arrived.

Mao Dongming was particularly surprised, he led the team many times, and the first time he took a tip, he was always a little reluctant, but he was a foreigner, anyway, when he registered, his passport was from a certain country in Southeast Asia, and he was a foreign Chinese, and people were used to this, so after repeatedly refusing to leave, he still accepted it.

The sun sets, the green grass on the side of the quiet Biyuan Pond, the golden afterglow renders the beautiful mountains and rivers like a painting, looking up at the stream, Xi Lao Peak, Qixing Peak and Zhu Xiufeng three kilometers away are like three gilded giant swords until the sky, the end is exciting.

The explorer's camp is just a small pebble under the dangerous peak at this time, which is very inconspicuous, but it looks particularly awkward and strange in the sunset.

After leaving a strong man on duty at the camp, Mao Dongming set off with the remaining six people, and the target was naturally Xi Laofeng, not the registered Seven Star Peak.

As the saying goes, take people's hands short, eat people's soft mouths, Mao Dongming is more like a guide than a team leader at this time, trying his best to introduce the natural environment around Xi Laofeng, pointing to the steep mountains in the distance and talking, where it seems to be a gentle slope, but in fact it is dangerous, where to look up is a raised mountain rock, in fact, there are other strange paths, where you can use your bare hands, where you must use tools, such as a few treasures.

This is only the situation at the foot of the mountain, the majesty of Xi Lao Peak, the complexity of the geological environment is not as simple as what is generally seen outside the mountain.

The man surnamed Li also made enough modest and inquisitive appearance, but sighed in his heart, the five people behind him were all silent, and the Yao sisters also changed their previous twitter, their pretty faces were cold, and they were actually secretly writing down the main points and geographical location mentioned by Mao Dongming.

"Stop for a moment. Mao Dongming, who was at the front of the team, suddenly signaled the team to pause, and stretched out his hand to point to a raised boulder road in the distance in front of the right, "Behind that rock is the rescue station, and it is also the only way to enter the foot of the mountain. ”

"Oh, don't you say it, you really don't see it, the site is very safe and hidden. The man surnamed Li couldn't help nodding, but he was really surprised, fortunately there was such a guide, otherwise he might have bumped into it without a head.

"There is also a safety station three hundred meters southeast of the aid station, do you want to go over and take a look? Or say hello to others?" Mao Dongming asked for advice, at this time during the mountain closure period, he was actually afraid of trouble, what hydrological station and epidemic prevention station people are good or not, he doesn't have a score, but there should be no big problem, and tomorrow the mountain will have to pass by sooner or later, once is also annoying, twice is also annoying, it is better to say it in advance.

"Don't go, don't go, the environment is almost familiar, everyone is very hard all the way, tomorrow morning we will prepare some small gifts, when everyone goes to talk together, it may be more convenient." ”

Then it's up to you, Mao Dongming doesn't care, and the group returned to the camp the same way.
