Zhong Lin was stunned for a moment, looking at the kind of loving eyes that only elders and relatives could have from Xue Xiaojie's father, and suddenly an inexplicable feeling surged up in his heart! Because that kind of look, that kind of tone he had only seen in his grandfather's eyes before, and then it appeared in the eyes of other people's fathers, but those eyes were all looking at their children, not him!

After staring at her for four or five seconds, Zhong Lin said, "Uncle Xue, thank you for reminding me, it's okay, I trust my judgment! Besides, even if she is a bad person, what's the matter, am I still afraid of her!" Zhong Lin said as he shot two fine lights in his eyes, and it could be seen that he had made up his mind, that is, he had to go.

"Village Chief Wang, I don't know where the Hanging Mountain is, can you find someone to take me there and show me the direction?" Zhong Lin looked at Village Chief Wang and said firmly, although his eyes had eased at this time, the cold afterglow still made Village Chief Wang shudder.

"This ...... "Seeing that Zhong Lin had made up his mind, Village Chief Wang first sighed, and then said: "Xiao Zhong, since you have to go, then you don't need to find someone else, let me take you there......"

As he spoke, Village Chief Wang had already stood up, and he had always maintained such a vigorous and resolute momentum as a soldier.

Everyone has curiosity, even if it is often said that "curiosity kills cats", but curiosity is also a manifestation of intellectual curiosity. Only curiosity can stimulate people's desire to explore and obtain more unknown information.

There is a sense of mystery in the masked woman, and there are many unsolved mysteries. Not only that, Zhong Lin also wanted to see what she had to discuss with him, so he decided to go to the Hanging Mountain Pass to make an appointment.

"I, I'm going to ...... too" Seeing that there seemed to be no way to stop Zhong Lin from going to the "appointment", Xue Xiaojie, who had been keeping her head down since she realized that she was a little out of shape just now, finally raised her head and said in a low voice.

"Sister Xiaojie, don't go, I'll go with the lark. ”

"Yes, Sister Xiaojie, our boss has great skills, you don't have to worry. ”

The plum finch and the lark glanced at each other, and they both frowned slightly. They had already seen that Xue Xiaojie in front of them had already been moved by Zhong Lin, and had reminded Zhong Lin that he already had a girlfriend, intentionally or unintentionally, but now it seems that it has not played a big role.

"Yes, Xiaojie, since there is danger there, it is naturally inappropriate for you to go, if there is nothing to do, I will be back soon. Zhong Lin said, then looked at the plum finch and the lark and said, "You two don't have to go with you, stay here until I come back, in case the people of the island country slip through the net or make a comeback." ”

"Let's ......" The plum finch and lark wanted to say something, but after seeing Zhong Lin's determined eyes, they swallowed back the words that had already reached their lips.

"Brother Biao, you go with us. ”

"Ahh

Xiong Jianbiao saw Zhong Lin "pointing" on his head, and suddenly bounced up from the stool excitedly. Originally, he was still worried about the fact that Zhong Lin brought plum blossom finches and larks to Qingshui Town this time without bringing him. He was wondering if it was because of the incident of "Xue Xiaojie jumping off the building" last time, Zhong Lin didn't bring him over. Now that Zhong Lin has called him again, and he is taking him by name without bringing plum blossom finches and larks, he is really a little excited.

After a little preparation, under the leadership of Village Chief Wang, the group of three walked in the direction of Hanging Mountain, which was listed as a forbidden area by the locals.

From Beiwangzhuang Village to Hanging Mountain, you have to climb a mountain, although this mountain is not very high, but it is densely forested, and it is estimated that few people go to it in normal times, so there is no road at all. Zhong Lin and the other three took a lot of effort and spent nearly an hour to finally climb to the top of the mountain.

"That's the Hanging Mountain Pass......"

Village Chief Wang gasped as he pointed to a misty col to the northwest of where they were.

"Okay, Village Chief Wang, thank you!"

"You kid, why are you so polite! You saved the lives of all the people in our village. Don't say it's to show you the way, even if I am asked to go into the Hanging Mountain with you, I will go to ......," Village Chief Wang said firmly.

"Uncle Wang, how can I put you in danger. Zhong Lin said, turned his head to look at Xiong Jianbiao and said, "Brother Biao, please protect Uncle Wang now and return the same way, then I can go by myself." ”

"Ah...... Huh?!" Xiong Jianbiao was a little overwhelmed after listening to Zhong Lin's words, because he originally thought that Zhong Lin would let him follow him all the way to the Hanging Mountain Pass, that is, the place where he had made an appointment with the masked woman. But as soon as Na Cheng wanted to come here, Zhong Lin asked him to go back. Obviously, Zhong Lin's only purpose in letting him accompany him was to let him protect Village Chief Wang and go back.

"Boss, if you don't take me to Qingshui Town this time, forget it, let me go to the Hanging Mountain Pass now!" Xiong Jianbiao frowned and said with some grievances.

"Brother Biao, I'm afraid there will be real danger in the Hanging Mountain Pass, the reason why I didn't say it just now is because I'm afraid that everyone will worry about ......"

"What's the matter with the danger, am I, Xiong Jianbiao, a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Before Zhong Lin could finish speaking, Xiong Jianbiao said anxiously.

"Yes, Xiao Zhong, I'm not afraid, just continue to let me lead the way. Village Chief Wang also said.

"As the saying goes, 'it's easy to go up the mountain, but it's hard to get down', we just went up the mountain for about an hour, and now it will take two or three hours to walk from here to the Hanging Mountain Pass, so it will be dark over there. Now that I know the place, it's better for me to go myself. Maybe I'll be back before you get home. ”

Seeing Zhong Lin say this, Village Chief Wang didn't insist anymore, but Xiong Jianbiao still had a dissatisfied expression.

"Go back, if nothing else I might be home sooner than you do, and if there's something to attend to, I'll be back by this time tomorrow at the latest, and even if I don't, I'll hear back." After Zhong Lin said this, his figure flashed and disappeared from the eyes of Xiong Jianbiao and Village Chief Wang.

"Boss ......"

When Xiong Jianbiao reacted, where was Zhong Lin's shadow, he didn't even see clearly from behind which tree Zhong Lin disappeared, so he could only stomp his feet......

Put down Xiong Jianbiao and Village Chief Wang and go back, and don't say it, but talk about Zhong Lin. What he said was not an exaggeration at all, if he just went to the Hanging Mountain Pass to pick up something like a courier and went back, it would definitely be faster than Xiong Jianbiao and Village Chief Wang going back. This kind of mountain forest may be difficult for ordinary people to traverse, but for Zhong Lin, it is simply a piece of cake. It only took less than twenty minutes for Zhong Lin to come to the Hanging Mountain Pass.

The so-called Hanging Mountain Pass is actually a mountain col, where there is a large mountain on each side, and it is so cloudy and misty all the year round that it is impossible to see what is behind the clouds. And it was only at this time that Zhong Lin finally understood why there was a "hanging mountain". Because from here, there is a mountain peak standing on the opposite side of the clouds, and what is even more strange is that the mountain peak is actually small near the clouds below, and the top is large, giving people the feeling of hanging upside down from the sky.

"You're here!"

Just when Zhong Lin was amazed by the hanging mountain in front of him, a voice suddenly sounded. Zhong Lin remembered the voice. Its owner was the masked woman he met at the auction of the Ten Mile Peach Forest that day, and that is, the person who asked him to come today.

Zhong Lin looked for prestige, only to see a person walking out from behind a big tree in front of him. At first glance, Zhong Lin was stunned, because it was a person, because Zhong Lin heard the voice of someone talking, if that person didn't speak, Zhong Lin would really think that he saw a phoenix.

The man's dress can only be described in two words, that is, "beautiful"! I saw that her hair was coiled up high, fixed to her head with a very beautifully carved crested hairpin, her face was still covered with light veils, and she was wearing a colorful dress painted with flower and bird patterns, the skirt was just up to the knees, revealing a white and white calf, and on her feet was wearing a pair of colorful cloth boots. And the phoenix crown, the costume, looks like a beautiful phoenix from a distance......

"Have you seen enough?"

Seeing Zhong Lin's eyes looking directly at herself, the masked woman coughed lightly, and her words were so tactful, and as she spoke, the person had already walked lightly in front of Zhong Lin.

"That...... By the way, is there anything you asked me to do?" Zhong Lin scratched his head and asked a little embarrassed.

"Can't I call you over if it's okay?" said the masked woman with a giggle, and as she laughed, the phoenix crown headdress on her head trembled slightly, as if she were alive. Because of the light veil covering the face, Zhong Lin couldn't see the expression on the masked woman's face at all.

"This ......" Zhong Lin is a person who can't joke, so he is a little embarrassed, and he doesn't know what to say, so he found a topic and said: "By the way, thank you for helping us slaughter that island man last time." ”

"You're welcome, that's just a gesture! Besides, didn't you help me when I was at the hotel?" said the masked woman, tugging at the corner of her coat with her hand. Then the two fell silent.

After a long while, Zhong Lin said, "An, Miss An Yi, if there is really nothing else, then I will go back." He didn't want to stay in this "ghostly" place for too long......
