The road is built along the cliffs, the green mountains are undulating, and the villages and inns can be seen faintly at the foot of the mountains, and there are not many people walking along the way, and the tourists on the road are free and scattered, parking their cars or taking pictures directly on the road.

Here is the same as Bai Yujing imagined, far away from the city, even if it is a scenic spot, there is no such crowded and man-made buildings as imagined, the natural features and the primeval jungle are very well protected, through the road next to the cliff, across the stone bridge, it seems to go deep into the Shennongjia little by little, and gradually get away from the downtown in general.

There are also more and more mountains and jungles around, and you can see a lot of beautiful scenery, winding rivers and clear pools, all the way to the scenic area, but only some places are open to tourists, most of the area is in the primeval jungle area, and it is not safe to go deep into it.

However, Bai Yujing and others were more anxious, and they didn't come here to play this trip on purpose, so they were not in the mood to wander around and enjoy the scenery leisurely, all the way to the destination, through the source of Xiangxi, until the evening to arrive at the famous Muyu Town on National Highway 209.

This town at the foot of the mountain is surrounded by mountains and forests, and as a hub for tourists, it seems to have a real taste of a downtown in the middle of the mountains, and the lively market and the mountains and jungles behind it are combined to complement each other, and although it is summer, the temperature here still feels like spring.

"It's a good place, I feel like it's a little fun to come here in the summer!" Li Hao said to Bai Yujing after getting out of the car.

Bai Yujing nodded, looked at the hotel in front of him, the lobby of the hotel is circular, the line of sight is very thick, you can see the back mountain behind the hotel through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the lush trees and mountains and forests are in front of you, and the wide line of sight also makes people feel comfortable.

Bai Yujing asked, "That's where Lin Ruoqiao started?" ”

Li Hao nodded: "That's right, it's this hotel!" ”

Xu Lei timidly followed behind the two of them: "Are we staying here tonight?" ”

Bai Yujing glanced at her, and then looked at Li Hao: "You go to check in, and then ask the staff about Lin Ruoqiao, to see if they have any impressions, if Lin Ruoqiao enters the mountain, he must prepare things, and then there are some things that are definitely inconvenient to bring into the mountain, see if they are stored somewhere, and also, they should have come by car, since they haven't come back, where is the car?" With these questions clear, I'll take a look around to see what is going on. ”

Li Hao nodded: "Okay, I'm clear!" ”

Xu Lei stood behind and asked, "What about me?" What about me? ”

Bai Yujing said: "There is a restaurant upstairs, you can go up and eat first!" ”

Bai Yujing left the two of them and immediately walked around in Muyu Town, the whole Muyu Town is not big, but there are many high-rise buildings and hotels, a typical town developed because of tourism, in the evening, this short street, full of people, street shops are brightly lit, many stalls are put out, selling some mountain goods, fungus, mushrooms and some Chinese medicinal materials.

Bai Yujing asked a few tourism offices, spent some money to inquire about whether there were any guides nearby who could take people into the mountain, and by the way, asked if they had seen Lin Ruoqiao and them, after all, Lin Ruoqiao They wanted to enter the mountain, and they probably found similar people, and after asking a lot, Bai Yujing didn't expect that there was really an unexpected gain.

"Isn't this an old smoking gun?" When Bai Yujing took out the photo, the old man above was immediately recognized.

Bai Yujing immediately put the photo in the other party's hand: "Do you know him?" Can you tell me about it? ”

The man looked at Bai Yujing, for the sake of money, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately said: "You are not bad, I'll just say it, this guy is not a good person, he is a lot older, he has no children and no daughters, he is an old bachelor, he lives in the ravine in Laojun Mountain, and usually relies on hunting and selling some mountain goods to make a living." ”

"When he was young, that is, in the seventies and eighties, he and a group of people often set up cards on the side of the highway under the mountain, collected tolls, and heard that they had also done some businessless business, and now that the reform and opening up has been carried out, this guy is also old, he is much more honest, and he will also take some people into the mountain as a guide or something, but often take people to the mountain, he asks for more money, this conduct, stinks very much!"

"But ordinary people really don't dare to mess with him, I don't hear the name, the old smoking gun, not only does he like to smoke, but he also has a gun in it!"

The other party said it so clearly, sure enough, Qian's face is still very big, Bai Yujing then handed the other two photos to the other party, but there was no news: "I don't know these two people, but I heard that the old smoking gun was hired into the mountains a few days ago, and I don't know which immoral person is pulling the line, and this kind of person is also introduced." ”

After Bai Yujing saw that the other party was really unclear, he put away the photo: "Then the matter of finding a guide, it will trouble you, we have to cross the Red Sun Bay all the way from Laojun Mountain, enter the mountain to find a place, you must be really familiar with the road conditions, of course, money or something is easy to say, you are indispensable, but people must be reliable!" ”

As soon as the man heard Bai Yujing talk about money, he immediately grinned happily: "Okay, okay, I've already thought of a few people, don't worry, I'll contact them tonight, ask about the situation, and after it's confirmed, I'll introduce it to you tomorrow, do you think it's okay?" ”

Bai Yujing nodded: "Okay, this is my phone number, you remember it!" ”

After Bai Yujing was busy, it was already eight o'clock in the evening at this time, Bai Yujing hadn't eaten much since he got off the plane, and he felt hungry, and when he returned to the hotel, he found that Li Hao was not in the room, leaving Xu Lei on the sofa watching TV.

"Li Hao hasn't come back yet?" Bai Yujing glanced at Xu Lei.

Xu Lei shook her head: "He seems to have something to go out, by the way, I brought some things back, do you want to eat?" ”

Bai Yujing sat down and looked at the lunch box on the table, this Xu Lei was quite caring, Bai Yujing sat down and immediately said: "Your room is over there, you don't want to squeeze into a room with the two of us!" ”

"What do you want to do? I can tell you, I'm underage, I'm breaking the law, I just feel scared to be alone in such a big room, and I'll go back when I can sleep! ”

Xu Lei immediately looked at Bai Yujing vigilantly, holding her chest with both hands as if Bai Yujing was going to attack her, Bai Yujing's face turned dark: "What kind of chest do you hold, what do you have to hold, I can tell you the truth, Lin Ruoqiao is very dangerous to enter the mountain this time, they also brought guns when they entered the mountain, and they didn't come out, and Li Hao and I may not be able to come out alive when we go in, let alone bring you a drag oil bottle." ”

"But Ruoqiao said that I wanted to find you to go into the mountain together, and I would also go in together, and without me, you wouldn't be able to find Ruoqiao!" Xu Lei pouted and said.

Bai Yujing looked at Xu Lei very seriously: "Don't make trouble, what did Lin Ruoqiao tell you?" You tell us and we promise to find her! ”

Xu Lei began to stop talking again, Bai Yujing who was watching was upset, and at this time Li Hao pushed open the door and walked in, looking very bad.
