Chapter Ninety-Six: A Business Trip
Sitting in the store, Gong Xu thought to himself: "Why do I feel that I am getting stronger and stronger?"
Ampei Qingming: "Because you are getting closer and closer to an excellent onmyoji, your telekinesis is naturally getting stronger and stronger. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Void Beast: "Because your thirst for money is getting stronger and stronger, the void power is naturally getting stronger and stronger." ā
Xiaoli: "Because you're getting closer and closer to the local tyrants." ā
Xiaomei: "Because you're getting more and more handsome." ā
If the master cat is here, he will definitely say with disdain: "Because your idiot attribute has doubled." ā
Gong Xu sat bored on the second floor, looking at Xiaomei, who was busy helping Gong Xu sort out his luggage, and asked puzzledly, "What is this for?"
"Oh, there's something wrong with the purchasing department, you have to go on a business trip, as a resident onmyoji, you have an obligation, aren't you? Xiaomei smiled sweetly and continued to be busy.
"Business trip?procurement department?" Gong Xu listened in a fog, this was the first time he had heard that Gucheng Commercial Bank had a procurement department.
Gong Xu's business trip standards are very high, at least he does a, and someone picks him up when he gets off the train and sends him to the train. After getting off the train, someone specially received him and put him on the bus. When he got out of the car again, someone still received him and sent him to the motorcycle.
When Gong Xu wondered if there was an ox cart and carriage below, Gong Xu finally came to his destination.
Gong Xu only knew that the ticket was Changsha, and he flew there in a few hours. But the next series of transportation can toss him miserably, and even Gong Xu's physique, who travels sleeplessly, is a little unbearable.
When he finally arrived at his destination, Gong Xu didn't even know whether this was Xiangxi or Sichuan, because the accent was almost the same, and he couldn't hear it. The key is that it is a poor and remote place, and some people even live in the mountains, and they actually light oil lamps at night.
Gong Xu's salute is not much, the onmyoji's clothes, and then there are some dried meat, preserved fruits and vegetable cakes or something, all of which are compressed and vacuum-packed. Gong Xu didn't know why he brought so much strange food, so he simply went with the flow, Xiaomei and Xiaoli would never harm him.
When I arrived in this village, it was already night, but Gong Xu was still warmly received and had a peasant meal at the farmer's house. The white flowery rice, the boiled fish with chili peppers on it, the fragrant and tender saliva chicken, Gong Xu, who eats it, is sweating profusely, and Gong Xu, who feels quite spicy in itself, only knows what spicy it is when he arrives here.
The climate in the south is pleasant, and down jackets are already worn in the north, but here a sweater and a jacket can be dealt with, and even in the mountains, it doesn't feel too cold.
Meimei slept for one night, and Gong Xu was called up the next day.
Along the way, someone took the initiative to contact Gong Xu by phone, but before he got to the first place, he changed someone, which made Gong Xu confused. Finally, this time there was no substitution, and it was still the uncle who picked up Gong Xu on a motorcycle.
The people here call him a mountain boy, and Gong Xu doesn't know what it means, so he just calls it anyway, and he is also very happy. The uncle is in his fifties, but his face looks like he is in his early sixties, and he looks very old. In the mountains, I work as a farmer for a living, and I am exposed to the wind and sun all day long, and there are few people with good skin.
The uncle is not tall, about 1.65 meters, and he is lean, but he walks like a fly. The uncle carried a canvas bag, which was bulging, and it looked like it was not light, and he didn't know what it contained, with a bundle of rope coiled around his waist and a firewood knife. Carrying an old military kettle on his side, an old army-green canvas schoolbag hangs around his neck.
Gong Xu looks much more refreshing, hiking shoes, jeans, jacket, and only a big mountaineering bag in the back, only Gong Xu knows, the bottom of the bag is a box of mineral water, Gong Xu really doesn't know, what is the purpose of carrying so much water, and there is also a kettle full of water hanging around his neck.
This is a mountainous area, although not to mention the mountains, but the road conditions are really not flattering. The mountain boy also carried a shotgun in his hand, which was rare in the era of strict gun control.
The two of them got up early in the morning and set off, going up the hillside, downhill, and in the jungle, Gong Xu was already a little unclear about the southeast, northwest, and northwest. Fortunately, the mountain boy is a local, and the terrain is very familiar, and the two of them didn't talk much along the way, just burying their heads in the road.
Although he is not young, he is a native of the mountains, and the steep mountain roads are like flying. And to the surprise of the mountain lady, the young man behind him, the legendary onmyoji, was even more relaxed than him, and when he took a break at noon, he was still in the mood to chase rabbits and pheasants.
There are really not many words, it's not that there is a generation gap between the two people, but that there is a language communication barrier between Shan Lingzi and Gong Xu, and Shan Lingzi can understand what Gong Xu is saying, but Gong Xu is in a fog when he hears Shan Lingzi's thick dialect. In this regard, even the talented Ampere Qingming didn't have a way, and he couldn't understand it.
Just when Gong Xu was bored and couldn't do anything, Shan Yanzi finally stopped and signaled to rest.
The two of them stopped on a hillside and simply ate some compressed dry food and water. Shan Yanzi tried very hard to explain to Gong Xu in his "Mandarin": "The depression in front is where you are going, it is very dangerous there, I can only stay here to pick you up." Your companion is trapped inside, waiting for you. ā
"My companion?" Gong Xu thought for a while, it might be the purchasing staff of the so-called Ancient City Commercial Bank. But how did you go to such a remote place, even if you buy antiques, you have to be in the village, is it because you have found some ruins?
"Yes, I am their guide, and in front of me is the forbidden place of the villagers, which is very evil in it, and there is no return. I persuaded them for a long time, but they didn't listen, and the money they gave was quite a lot, so I stayed here and waited for them. A few days ago, I saw their distress signal, so I went back and informed your company according to the contact information they left. Unexpectedly, only you were sent over. Shan Yanzi looked at Gong Xu's gaze and was a little puzzled.
Numb, Gong Xu scolded in his heart, he is an onmyoji, not a special forces, how can he save people single-handedly, he doesn't know what the situation is, besides, a few days ago? Is it too late to go now?
The old face of the mountain girl seemed to understand Gong Xu's worries, and said slowly: "It is estimated that they have encountered something evil, don't worry, there are six of them, they are very well equipped, and they will not die of hunger for ten days and half a month." ā
Gong Xu looked at the sky, the sun was already in the west, and then looked at the position pointed by the mountain man, it was actually a valley. Taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others, Gong Xu is also eager to save people's hearts, and he has to go and see for himself what the specific situation is. Gong Xu single-handedly went down the hillside and walked towards the depression.
The hillside is much wider than the previous road, as there is no dense tree to cover it, but it is a thicket. Stepping on the gravel under his feet, Gong Xu jumped down.
