In the early morning, Cuiping Mountain, clouds and mist, a piece of oil green can be clearly seen under the mountainside, and the humid air is rushed to the window, which is fresh and makes people's mood clear and clean.

Mu Ziqian sat on the sofa with a blind cane next to him, "What do you think of here?"

Qiu Jinghao stood at the window and looked back, "I don't understand business, I don't think it's appropriate." ”

Mu Ziqian smiled faintly, "From a vacationer's point of view." ”

It's quiet and peaceful, far away from the hustle and bustle, and everywhere is full of pristine ecology.

After a moment, she said, "Nice place." ”

Mu Ziqian looked at one place, his eyes were blank, and he bowed his head slightly, as if he was affirming her dá àn.

There was a faint sound downstairs, and if you listened closely, it was coming from the kitchen.

Sister Zhao lives nearby, and came early in the morning to make breakfast for the people in the villa, the sound insulation effect of the villa is not too good, and several people who live on the second floor have heard it.

"Let's go wash up and go down for breakfast in a moment. ”

"Hmm. ”

When Mu Ziqian got up, Qiu Jinghao had already held his hand.

"Is Ming Jin awake?"

"Not yet. ”

The sky is not yet bright, and Ming Jin was tired from traveling and driving yesterday, and he was a little more sleepy than when he was in Qingfeng Garden.

The husband and wife spoke in a low voice, and when they arrived at the bathroom, Qiu Jing helped him squeeze the toothpaste as usual, poured water into the toothbrush cup, and put it in his hand.

Mu Ziqian washed up here, Qiu Jing turned around and walked out of the bathroom to call Ming Jin to get up, the child rubbed his confused eyes, and said in a milky voice: "Mommy, what time is it?"

Qiu Jinghao put his clothes on the side of the bed, "Half past six." ”

Ming Jin yawned, picked up the clothes on the bed and put them on, "Where's Daddy?"

"I'm washing my face, you get dressed and go wash it, and then go downstairs for breakfast. ”

"Oh. ”

After washing, the three of them walked out of the bathroom, Qiu Jing helped Mu Ziqian downstairs, Ming Jin followed, and before he reached the first floor, he heard a few people downstairs chatting, Ah Qi's voice was very abrupt, and it sounded extremely gentle, Qiu Jing was so good, every time he said this, he was giving Xu Wei a diàn huà.

Sure enough, when he arrived in the living room, Ah Qi had just closed the line, and shǒu jī was putting it in his pocket, when he heard footsteps behind him, he quickly turned around and caught up.

"Young master, young grandmother, early. ”

Qiu Jing replied well: "Morning." ”

This is what Mu Ziqian meant before he came.

"Let's have breakfast first," Ah Qi moved the chair away, Qiu Jing pulled someone to sit down, and Ming Jin sat next to Mu Ziqian.

Everyone sat down, there was a steaming breakfast on the dining table, and after Sister Zhao made breakfast, she went to clean up the guest room on the first floor.

After breakfast, Lu Zeyuan took out the map of Cuiping Mountain and put it in his briefcase, which also contained various materials of Cuiping Mountain.

Before leaving, Lu Zeyuan asked: "Young master, there is a hot spring well halfway up the mountain, and the spring water is continuous all year round." Shall we go up the mountain first, or shall we go to the local folklore area first?"

Mu Ziqian said two words briefly: "Go up the mountain." He turned to Qiu Jing and said, "Today is a field trip, you have to walk a lot, you and Ming Jin are waiting at the villa, don't follow." ”

Qiu Jing knows how to measure, she knows what the situation is now, Ning Zhi learned that she came to Cuiping Mountain, and she was never allowed to go up the mountain, if she insisted on going her own way, she would really be irresponsible to herself and the child in her womb.

"Okay, I'll stay with Ming Jin. ”

Mu Ziqian stopped and said, "Ah Qi took two people to stay with you." ”

Qiu Jing frowned, it was better to leave so many people here than to put people's hands by his side.

"Don't need so many people, if you really stay, let Ah Qi stay, you have to go up the mountain, the situation on the mountain is not very clear, there is one more person by your side, and I will have more peace of mind." Qiu Jing said.

Ming Jin suddenly said: "I want to follow Daddy to climb the mountain." ”

Ming Jin likes outdoor sports, which is easy to understand in Qiujing, but Mu Ziqian is here to inspect the project, not to play in the mountains and rivers, and it is inconvenient to take children.

"Daddy," Ming Jin took Mu Ziqian's hand and shook it, "Take me there, okay?"

Mu Ziqian had no choice but to agree, "Yes, but you have to be obedient, you can't run around on the mountain." ”

Ming Jin immediately agreed, "No problem, I will definitely abide by discipline." ”

"Heh" Mu Ziqian smiled helplessly, he really didn't have any problem with this child.

Since Mu Ziqian promised Ming Jin, she couldn't let so many people stay in the villa, "Ming Jin also follows you, and it is convenient for more people to be around." Ah Qi don't stay, follow you up the mountain. ”

"No, I'm not worried about leaving you here alone. Mu Ziqian said, "Ah Qi must stay." ”

Qiu Jing couldn't resist him, so she had to agree.

The group drove to the foot of the mountain, the madman opened the car door, Ming Jin jumped out of the car first, he looked excited, but he did not rush to run towards the path on the mountain, but turned around to pull Mu Ziqian's hand.

"Daddy, we're here. ”

Mu Ziqian smiled indifferently, took the child's hand and got out of the car.

"Is it from here to the mountain?" Ming Jin asked Lu Zeyuan when he turned around.

Lu Zeyuan nodded, "Yes, it's this path." ”

Ming Jin looked at the winding and steep mountain and forest path, and frowned slightly, but soon his expression was firm, and he took Mu Ziqian's hand.

"Daddy, the road is not too easy to walk, it's a bit steep, you hold my hand. ”

Mu Ziqian suddenly felt that Mingjin at this moment was small but full of power.

"Good. He clenched his little hand, "It's up to you, Bao." ”

Being responsible is not determined by age, but by a state of mind.

When he has such thoughts in his heart, he will shoulder some immediate difficulties, otherwise, he may turn a blind eye to them, or he may retreat from them.

The madman walked over, "Little master, let's go together." ”

Ming Jin agreed, "Thank you, Uncle Madman." ”

The madman rubbed the top of Ming Jin's head, his eyes were full of approval, although he was a child, he was thoughtful, he knew his ability, and he also knew the disparity in height and weight.

Clever boy.

The road up the mountain was steep and rugged, and Mu Ziqian was held by the madman by the arm, and the other hand held Ming Jin steadily.

He couldn't see the geography on either side of the road, he could only judge from the larch needles and gravel ground under his feet.

In the distance, the scorching sun is like fire, dyeing the clouds and mist red, like a stroke of danqing ink.

Ming Jin was wearing a blue mountaineering suit, which lined his face with an extraordinarily fair and clear face, and Mu Ziqian's jacket was black, which was different from the style of others, but Shen Yun was definitely the master of the crowd.

Soon, some people were halfway up the mountain, and next to a red brick house not far away, an ancient well was rising from a white mist.

"Daddy, there's a white smoke spot up ahead. Ming Jin's voice was crisp, echoing in the forest.

Mu Ziqian turned around and asked Lu Zeyuan, "Is this here?"

Lu Zeyuan opened the map, took out a compass again, and after confirming it, he replied: "Young master, this is it." ”

"Let's take a look. Mu Ziqian said.

At that time, in the villa under the mountain.

Qiu Jing went to the yard after breakfast, digesting the food in her stomach, Ah Qi was vigilantly accompanied at the door, although Cuiping Mountain is a quiet and cramped town, it does not mean that it is a safe place.

It wasn't until Qiu Jinghao returned to the villa that Ah Qi breathed a sigh of relief, he watched her go up to the second floor and didn't follow.

When the part-time worker was taking a walk in the autumn quiet, he went to clean the rooms upstairs, and after cleaning, he looked at the time, went into the kitchen, and began to prepare the ingredients for lunch.

Qiu Jing lay on the bed for a while, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she soon fell asleep.

Ah Qi always sat on the sofa in the living room downstairs, holding ** in his hand, changing the table at will.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

The hourly worker hurriedly walked out of the kitchen and looked at the walkie-talkie, "Who are you looking for?"

"Deliver the fish. ”

Ah Qi turned around and paid attention to the person at the door.

It seemed that without waiting for the other party to react, the person outside the door spoke again.

"You forget Aunt Chen, I am the son of Sun Yu's family, and my father said that you want fresh fish, so I won't send it. ”

The hourly worker's eyes lit up, "Come in." ”

Ah Qi put down the ** and got up and walked towards the door, and the part-time worker said: "Mr. Lu said that a friend is very fond of fish, so I asked me to prepare fresh ingredients every day, and the fish was ordered by me at his house in the morning, but I didn't expect it to be delivered so quickly." ”

The door of the villa opened, and a thin young man walked in, carrying a bucket in his hand, and looked to be in his early twenties.

Ah Qi leaned against the window, carefully looked at the young man from far and near, and after making sure that he was okay, he didn't care about the part-time worker to open the door of the villa.

The young man walked in and flipped the bucket in front of the hourly worker, "Look, Aunt Zhao, it's absolutely alive." The latter looked into the bucket and exclaimed, "Ah, you are alive, follow me into the kitchen." ”

The two entered the kitchen one after the other, and Ah Qi returned to the sofa, picked up the ** and continued to change the table.

A few minutes later, the young man went and returned, and after saying goodbye, left the villa.

There was a sound of water and a muffled sound in the kitchen again, but Ah Qi felt more and more that bang, a little familiar, put down the ** lightly, got up and walked towards the kitchen.

He shouted, "Sister Zhao?"

"The kitchen was silent.

Ah Qi immediately touched the gun on his waist, "Sister Zhao?"

“”

The kitchen door of the villa was open, and Ah Qi's eyes were cold, and after taking out the shǒu qiāng, he opened the safety and pointed the gun in the direction of the kitchen.

He stopped shouting, his practical experience had exercised his keen insight, and now in this villa, there was a lot of danger, and when he got up, he had already pressed the shǒu jī emergency call button, and the group of people standing at the hot spring mouth had a distress signal on their bodies at the same time.

Mu Ziqian was anxious, but he was still calm on the surface, "Go back to the villa first." ”

"Yes," said the madman, holding the man up, and walked towards his feet.

Ming Jin didn't know why, and asked as he walked, "Daddy, we have just gone up the mountain, why are we going down so soon?"

Mu Ziqian clenched the child's hand, afraid that he would know about the call for help, and he was anxious, and said lightly:

"After the inspection, I have to go back. ”

Ming Jin will be suspicious, oh sound.
