After a short pause and continued to walk up the mountain, through a forest, suddenly a green pool of water appeared in front of me.

"Wow! It's so beautiful! Yu Meixia stood by the waterhole and couldn't help but exclaim.

The sun-lit pool is sparkling and round, like a sapphire set in the mountains. The water surrounds the mountain, the mountain reflects the water, the water and the sky are the same color, and it is beautiful. The whole picture is like a delicate girl, dressed in green gauze and wearing a blue skirt like satin, looking forward to life, Chu Chu is moving!

"Look, look, there's a stone in the pool, doesn't it look like a monkey?" Yu Meixia pointed to a stone emerging from the pool in the distance and said in surprise.

Li Rui was also shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him, and looked in the direction pointed by Yu Meixia, and sure enough, a strange stone stretched out of the water from the bottom of the pool, like a cute monkey, it lay quietly, making the whole waterhole full of aura.

"What a fairyland on earth! I didn't expect the scenery of Qingyun Mountain to be so beautiful, and if it is developed into a tourist area, it will definitely attract a lot of tourists. ”

"Then someone has to invest, if you think about the road we came over yesterday, without the investment of one billion and eight billion, there is no way to develop here at all." Li Rui said.

"It's a shame." Yu Meixia thought about it and said regretfully.

The two walked along the path by the pool, and suddenly Yu Meixia stopped and said, "Listen, what is this sound?" ”

Li Rui held his breath and listened attentively, and there was a faint sound of "boom" in the distance, as if water was falling from the sky, "Maybe it's the sound of a waterfall, right?" ”

"And a waterfall here?" Yu Meixia was suddenly surprised, and hurriedly said, "Let's go over and have a look!" ”

Listening to the sound at a certain distance from here, Li Rui looked at the time: "I don't know how long I have to walk, it's too late to go back for lunch." ”

"Ahh It's rare to come once, the beautiful scenery is current, you are still thinking about lunch, let's go to the waterfall to see it and return. Anyway, I won't delay going back today. Yu Meixia looked unwilling, and pouted coquettishly.

Li Rui couldn't resist her, so he had to nod and say, "That's okay." ”

Walking along the path in the direction of the sound of the water, the sound of the water gradually began to become clear, but the road became smaller and smaller, and the terrain gradually began to steepen. Li Rui began to be a little worried, because this place had deviated from the path up the mountain that Zhu Baoyuan had pointed to earlier, and the waterfall had always only heard its sound and not seen it.

"It's been more than half an hour, and I haven't found it yet, I think we'd better go back and come back next time we have a chance." Li Rui persuaded.

"It's not far away, it should be just ahead." Yu Meixia did not give up and insisted on moving forward.

After a few more forks in the road, a dense forest blocked the way, and there was no way out, and the sound of water seemed to be right ahead.

"What to do?" Yu Meixia said with a bitter face.

Li Rui looked up, at this time they were in the middle of the mountains, and the main peak that could still be seen had long been submerged in this dense forest. And because they were looking for the waterfall, they had long since strayed from the path by the pool.

"We're probably lost." Li Rui smiled bitterly.

"How is that possible? It's really not good, let's just go back the way we came. Yu Meixia was surprised, because there was no road, she had to give up the idea of looking for the waterfall.

"Do you know how many forks we went through when we just came over? You see there are trees all over here, every fork in the road is pretty much the same, do you know which is the way back? Li Rui sighed and said.

"Then why didn't you say it when you came over just now!" Yu Meixia said angrily.

"I said, Miss, just now you were trying to find the waterfall, and besides, the waterfall should be on the edge of the waterhole, I think as long as you find the waterhole, you are not afraid of getting lost. Who knew that the waterfall was not found, but the road was gone. Li Rui said with a sad face.

"Call and ask for directions, Director Zhu is a local, he must know the way, so let them go up the mountain to find us." Yu Meixia's eyes suddenly lit up, and as she spoke, she opened her bag and looked for her mobile phone to make a call.

"Don't look for it, I've seen it a long time ago, and there's no signal here at all." Li Rui said with a discouraged face.

Sure enough, when Yu Meixia opened her phone, the screen was blank, and there was no signal at all.

"So what to do?" Yu Meixia was also anxious at this time, looking at the black hole forest around her, a sense of fear suddenly surged in her heart, and she couldn't help but grab Li Rui's arm.

"What else can I do? Follow the path you came to find it back, and may God forbid you not to go the wrong way. Li Rui said weakly.

On the way back, Yu Meixia was excited when she came, her steps were light, and on the contrary, her hands always firmly grasped Li Rui's arm and refused to let go, and she was startled at the slightest hint of trouble.

The two of them groped in the forest for nearly an hour, and at first they could see the sun to roughly discern the direction, but later, as the forest became denser and denser, the sun disappeared completely, and they could only walk by feeling, but they could not even find the shadow of the waterhole.

"It's over, we're definitely lost." Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he sat down on a stone on the side of the road and said.

"I'll see if there's a cell phone signal now." Yu Meixia was busy rummaging through her bag to find her mobile phone, Li Rui didn't have any hope at all, mobile phones have just begun to be popularized in recent years, and the signal coverage is very small, and when she arrived at Shagou yesterday, the signal was extremely unstable, let alone in this mountain.

Sure enough, Yu Meixia opened her phone and took a look, her face was full of disappointment, there was time on the phone, and it was almost twelve o'clock at noon.

"They must be waiting for us to go back for lunch, but we are stuck in the mountains, and we don't know when we will find our way back." Yu Meixia squatted down and muttered.

Looking at Yu Meixia's helpless look, Li Rui could only comfort: "Don't be afraid, you see that there is at least a road now, and if there is a road, someone will go, maybe we will be able to meet the mountain people in this area later." Even if we can't touch people, as long as we can get out of this forest, we can see the sun, and we can see the direction, I don't believe we can't find our way back. ”

Yu Meixia looked at Li Rui and nodded vigorously, Li Rui at this time was the hope in her heart, the protector of her side, what hooligans and perverts were before, they had long since disappeared.

But the reality is far from being as optimistic as Li Rui said, not only did he not see a single figure on the road, but the path under his feet became more and more desolate, showing a scene of inaccessible people everywhere.

"Li Rui, here...... There won't be wolves here, right? Yu Meixia was very scared, grabbed Li Rui's arm and asked.

At this time, Li Rui could only comfort himself: "There shouldn't be, if there is, we should hear their calls, we didn't encounter any animals along the way, not even screams." Let's go any further, and maybe we'll be able to get out of the woods in no time. ”

As he was talking, a loud shout suddenly came: "Don't move!" Immediately after that, five or six figures rushed out of the trees and the ground and quickly surrounded them, dressed in camouflage, wearing camouflage on their heads, painted with colorful oil paint on their faces, and holding guns in their hands, as if they were a group of ghosts that had suddenly emerged from the jungle, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at them.

"Ahh Yu Meixia screamed in surprise and threw herself into Li Rui's arms.

Li Rui almost didn't lie down at that time, but when he saw the cockades on the heads of the people around him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Comrade, don't get me wrong, we're here to play in Qingyun Mountain."

The tall soldier at the head looked at them vigilantly, and said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, there is a military restricted area ahead, please go back the way you came immediately." ”

"It's okay, it's okay! They are all soldiers of the army. Li Rui comforted softly, pulled Yu Meixia out of his arms, and then hurriedly said to the tall soldier: "Comrade, the two of us got lost in the mountains and couldn't find our way back at all, so we broke in by mistake." ”

As he spoke, Li Rui hurriedly took out his work card from his bag and handed it over: "Comrade, you see that I am a party member or a local cadre. ”

The tall soldier carefully compared the photo and the person, motioned to the other soldiers to put down the gun, and immediately saluted Li Rui and said: "Chief, I'm sorry!" We are on a mission, and you are not allowed to enter this area. ”

Li Rui smiled bitterly: "Comrade, we are lost, we really can't find the way back, can you help us show us the way, as long as we can find the way up the mountain." ”

The tall soldier was also quite embarrassed, and thought for a while and said, "In this case, I'll report the situation to my superiors." ”

"Good, good!" Li Rui nodded again and again, at this time he had completely relieved his heart, the people's army is for the people, and if he encounters the troops, he is not afraid of being trapped in the mountains and unable to get out.

The tall soldier stepped aside and whispered a few words through the headset, and it didn't take long for two people to come out of the depths of the woods, the first officer wearing a lieutenant's badge, who was actually a woman.

When the female lieutenant saw Li Rui, she was stunned, listening to the report of the tall soldier, took Li Rui's work card and looked at it, and walked forward and said, "It turns out that you are Li Rui." ”

"You know me?" Li Rui was stunned, and carefully identified the person who came to him, although the female lieutenant in front of him was also painted with oil paint, but there was a rare sense of déjà vu between her eyebrows, and she just couldn't remember it for a while.

The female lieutenant did not answer Li Rui's question, and after calling the tall soldier over and whispering a few words, she said to Li Rui: "He will send you out." After speaking, he turned around and left, and when he left, he glanced at Li Rui deeply, and his eyes seemed to be full of gratitude.
