Chapter 526: A Hiding Place
Wu Tian stayed in the real room for more than half a month before receiving news from Liu Min, and finally discovered Gu Yu's whereabouts. Because Gu Yu was deliberately hiding, it took a lot of effort to find her. At the beginning, Liu Min's team only had a few days to find a few members of the R&D team of Project X who had disappeared for a few years, but it took half a month to track Gu Yu, which shows how much effort Gu Yu put into avoiding everyone. In fact, in the past half a month, there has still been no news about Gu Yu from the outside world, the people of the Gu family have not found it, the people of the Bai family have not found it, and as for the police, they have not found it either. Bus stations, train stations, airports, these places have been run away by the Gu family, but there is still no trace of Gu Yu. The Gu family even sent someone to Toronto, Canada, but there was still no news of Gu Yu. However, everyone generally believes that Gu Yu is in Canada, but hiding at a friend's house.
Wu Tian didn't know what kind of means Liu Min used to find Gu Yu, and Liu Jin, who was troubled last night, called him and said that the Gu and Bai families couldn't find it, and it was very likely that the world had evaporated. In the past half a month, Liu Jin called him every few days and told him about the outside world's search for Gu Yu, as if Gu Yu had been hidden by him, and reported to him. Although Wu Tian has denied it many times, Liu Jin's phone still hasn't stopped, and Wu Tian can only express helplessness about this. It seems that Liu Jin's kid still remembers the opening of the room between the two that night very clearly, and mistakenly thinks that the relationship between him and Gu Yu has been reconciled, and it is not generally good, and they have become bedmates.
When Wu Tian came to the Ministry of Intelligence, took the paper handed to him by Liu Min, and saw the address written on it, he was stunned. After a long while, he raised his head, although he had always trusted Liu Min very much, but this time he still looked at the other party with suspicion. "Are you sure she's really there?" ”
"I'm sure!" Liu Min said after hearing Wu Tian's question, and then handed Wu Tian a few more photos, "Look, isn't it her?" ”
Wu Tian was stunned again after taking it, the person on the photo was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, familiar was the other party's face, and strangeness was the other party's strange outfit. The background of the photo is a mountain, because it is winter. So it looks desolate, with unmelted snow on the ground and some yellowish green plants. There are also stone walls made of stones, and very simple stone houses, which are clean and clean, with no weeds or snow, and they look like they have been carefully cleaned. The person in the photo is wearing a dark blue coarse cloth coat. Wrapping her whole body inside, the cuffs and neckline of her clothes are white, and she looks clean and tidy. Her face was a little pale, and the flesh on her face was thin. The long hair was tied up in a ball at the back of the head and tied with a hairpin. She looked a little malnourished, but none of that could hide her watery eyes. This is clearly Gu Yu!
Wu Tian took a look at all his photos, and after confirming that the strangely dressed woman in the photo was Gu Yu. said to Liu Min, "It's her, it's her!" How did you find her? ”
"One of my masters lives there. It was she who told me that there was a strange woman there lately. Liu Min said lightly.
"Huh? Where is your master? Are you ......? Wu Tian looked at Liu Min with strange eyes.
"Don't think about it, she just taught me some kung fu." Liu Min said, "My hometown is near there, and when I was a child, I used to go there to pick wild vegetables and medicinal herbs, and then I met Master, and she started teaching me some kung fu, and it was as simple as that." ”
"Oh! No wonder you are so good at kung fu, it turns out that you have the guidance of a master outside the world. Wu Tian said after hearing this, and then looked at the photo, "This place is too big, I will definitely not find anyone if I go by myself, maybe I will get lost and starve to death there." Since you grew up there, come with me, and you can just go back to see your master."
Liu Min nodded.
"In that case, let's go. The goal, Jungnan Mountain! ”
That's right, Gu Yu is hiding in Zhongnan Mountain, although Wu Tian has never been to this place, but he is not a stranger, he has long heard that there are many hermits in Zhongnan Mountain, but he didn't expect Gu Yu to go there to be a hermit. Wu Tian suddenly remembered that he had said to Gu Yu at the beginning, people like you should be a nun the most, although hermits and nuns are different, but they are both for cultivation. I don't know if Gu Yu went to Zhongnan Mountain to be a hermit because of his words.
Although the destination has now been determined, Wu Tian is a little difficult in the future. He can't go directly, let alone go openly, because he will be followed. Especially the people of the Gu family and the people of the Bai family, according to Liu Min's intelligence, there have been some strangers around the Tianzheng Mansion in the past half a month. If it was before the establishment of Tianzheng Pharmaceutical, these people may have been opponents in the same industry to listen to research information. However, after the restructuring of Tianzheng Pharmaceutical, its strong strength and background are enough to deter those with bad intentions in the same industry, in fact, after the opening ceremony, there are no spies from other companies found on the side of Tianzheng Building. Until a few days after Gu Yu ran away from home, there were a few more people around the company, and it is estimated that the Gu family and the Bai family may also think that Gu Yu may be hiding in his company.
In fact, as early as ten days ago, a few days after Gu Yu ran away from home, the Gu family had called him to ask about Gu Yu's whereabouts. Who would have thought that the Gu family didn't seem to believe it, Gu Yu's father, Gu Minglin, personally called him again, first said something about family affection, and then said something about five years ago, hoping that he would let Gu Yu go. When Wu Tian heard it, he became angry, regardless of Gu Minglin being his elder, he directly talked about Bai Yuze beating Gu Yu, and scolded Gu Minglin fiercely. Of course, he didn't really scold, and he didn't have any dirty words in his mouth, he just satirized the other party, which roughly meant that Gu Yu was beaten by Bai Yuze. As a father, you didn't avenge your daughter, and you didn't even dare to fart, and now your daughter is wronged and ran away from home, and you come to me to ask for someone? Why? What's more, Gu Yu was obviously angry by your Gu family's inaction, you can live a life without dignity, and she can't ...... Wu Tian said a lot of things like this, and Gu Minglin was speechless. Although Wu Tian didn't see Gu Minglin's expression at that time, he guessed that the other party's face must be very unsightly, and he was red for a while. Qing was ashamed for a while, but he didn't know what to say. Wu Tian didn't save any face for Gu Minglin, he felt that a person like Gu Minglin didn't need to save face for the other party at all.
Perhaps it was because of Wu Tian's grievances for Gu Yu that Gu Minglin thought that Gu Yu's departure was related to him, so he sent people to monitor around the company.
Wu Tian knew about this from the beginning, but because he really didn't know Gu Yu's whereabouts at that time, he didn't take it seriously, and he was relieved to do it in the real room. But now it's different. He knew Gu Yu's whereabouts, how could he avoid the surveillance of these people and go to Zhongnan Mountain to find Gu Yu? This is the conundrum before him. After all, if he goes out of this door, there will be many pairs of eyes staring at him.
How can you avoid the eyes of these people, leave the company, and leave the capital unknowingly and go to Zhongnan Mountain? It's a conundrum. And Wu Tian left this problem to Liu Min. But there is also one thing that works in their favor, and that is that it is late at night. It's dark outside. The line of sight is not good, and the other party is physically and mentally exhausted, and it is easy to have a bad cuò.
After a short period of thought, Liu Min had an idea. However, the idea is a bit dirty, as it requires two people to get out of the Tianzheng Building through an underground pipe. Liu Min took out the construction drawings of the Tianzheng Building, chose a route that could avoid everyone, and then left with Wu Tian. Wu Tian never imagined that he would drill underground pipes one day. And it's for Gu Yuzuan, it's a bit ironic to think about it.
The two wore isolation suits for medicine and chemistry and came to the first floor of the Tianzheng Building to open the lid of the underground pipe. And got in.
Liu Min led the way in front, Wu Tian followed behind, and the space of the underground pipeline was larger than Wu Tian imagined, enough for two people to walk side by side. This is thanks to the designers of the Tianzheng Building, which provided convenience for Wu Tian's departure this time.
Due to the winter, there was no smell in the underground pipe, and the two of them took a flashlight and turned left and right for about 200 meters, and when they encountered a ladder on the side of the wall, they stopped. This is the location that was planned by the drawings of Guò before, and the two need to get out from here. Liu Min climbed up first, lifted the manhole cover gently, and after making sure that there was no one around, he moved the manhole cover away and climbed out. Wu Tian followed Liu Min closely, although his actions were not as neat as Liu Min's, but he was also very fast, but he felt a little like a thief.
Finally returning to the ground, Wu Tianjian took off the isolation gown and threw it into the underground pipe, and when he looked around, he found that it was already far away from the Tianzheng Building, and it was a street.
Liu Min covered the manhole cover, and the two walked along the street lamp to the front, and not far away, a car stopped on the side of the road, and the tail lights kept flashing. This was arranged by Liu Min before, and it was the intelligence officers outside who came back to pick her up, Liu Min and Wu Tian got into the car directly, and then disappeared into the vast night, unaware. As for those who are watching around the Tensho Building, they can't see any of that. They pay attention only to the ground, but they do not know that man has slipped away from the ground, that is, from under their feet.
Wu Tian did not go directly to Xi'an, he flew to Chongqing first, and then drove to Xi'an, so he went around in a small circle all the way, and finally arrived at Zhongnan Mountain
Zhongnan Mountain, also called Taiyi Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, is a section of the Qinling Mountains, is one of the birthplaces of Taoism, has the reputation of "Xiandu", "the first blessed land in the world". It is precisely because of this that there have been many hermits in Zhongnan Mountain in the past dynasties, and there are still thousands of people practicing here in the mountain.
It was night when Wu Tian arrived here, so he didn't go into the mountains immediately, but found a hotel to stay in a nearby town. Liu Min's home is in this small town, Wu Tian directly gave Liu Min a holiday home, and let the other party come to him tomorrow morning. Liu Min didn't say anything, although she came back during the Chinese New Year, she came and went in a hurry, and now she has time to go home again, of course she is very willing.
Liu Min's family is not wealthy, and it can be regarded as an ordinary family here. As the saying goes, relying on the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water, Liu Min's family has always relied on Zhongnan Mountain to live. Liu Min's ancestors were traditional Chinese medicine, but they were not traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in pharmacies, but rural local Chinese medicine practitioners, who had not undergone systematic study and had no certificates, and their knowledge was passed down from generation to generation. They collect medicinal herbs on Jungnam Mountain, and after simple processing, they either sell them to those who receive them or sell them to the villagers who come to see them. Taibai Mountain, the main peak of Zhongnan Mountain, is rich in medicinal materials, known as the kingdom of herbal medicine, and there are local songs: Taiyi Mountain, treasures everywhere, don't worry about illness. Go up the hill and pull the grass! Relying on these, the Liu family provided two college students, Liu Min needless to say, graduated from the military academy, she also has a younger brother, who is now studying at Chongqing Medical University, and it seems that he is preparing to take over his father's class, but it is necessary to develop towards regularization and professionalism.
Early the next morning, Liu Min came to the small hotel where Wu Tian lived, and the two had breakfast. and marched towards Zhongnan Mountain. Don't look at Zhongnan Mountain in front of you, but it is still far, far away from where Gu Yu lives, plus there are mountain roads, and there is snow on the road, you can imagine how long it will take this way. Liu Min carried a military backpack filled with water, compressed biscuits and canned food, which is typical of military rations, and she also prepared tents, ropes and daggers. The whole backpack added up to more than 20 kilograms, Wu Tian felt very heavy when he carried it, but Liu Min seemed to be light and fluttering on his back, and he was no slower than Wu Tian's empty-handed walk. Wu Tian always felt that it was unnecessary for Liu Min to bring so much. After all, there are scenic spots in the mountains, and there are also people who live in them, as long as you have money, it should be no problem to buy some food and drink.
But it didn't take a day. Wu Tian completely changed this thinking. It was a little better in the morning, just set off and walked along the foot of the mountain. It doesn't take long to have a home, and there is even a small shop, but when I went up the mountain in the afternoon, everything changed, there was no home, let alone a shop, and Wu Tian had to borrow water from Liu Min to drink. At six o'clock in the evening, when it was dark, he finally met a housemate, which made Wu Tian, who was already tired, happy, and his pace unconsciously accelerated. However, Liu Min told Wu Tian not to be happy too early, because it was a hermit's residence, and he didn't expect anything good to eat, let alone a soft bed.
Wu Tian didn't go over immediately, but let Liu Min take the lead, she grew up here, and she should know this place very well, including the rules here. Wu Tian didn't want to disturb the cultivation of these worldly masters, who knew if any of these people would be able to descend the dragon and eighteen palms and other martial arts? If he trespasses in and slaps down, won't he just die?
Liu Min walked in, and walked out after a while, beckoning to Wu Tian, and said, "Come in." ”
Wu Tian walked in curiously, this was the place where he entered the hermit for the first time, and sure enough, as Liu Min said, except for broken, Wu Tian didn't know what words to use to describe it. It's broken, but it's clean. The hermit was a man, looking to be forty or fifty years old, with a goatee and a hair clump tied back his head.
The room was lit with wax, there was no lamp, and the middle-aged man took out two cakes from a wooden cabinet and handed them to Liu Min, and then lay down on the wooden bed to sleep.
The cakes were still warm, and Wu Tian hadn't eaten anything hot for a day, so he felt extremely happy. Open your mouth wide and take a bite, it is a little hard, and it is mixed with vegetables, it should be a wild vegetable, it tastes slightly bitter, and it is a little sweet at the end.
After Liu Min finished eating the cakes, he began to lay on the floor in the house, and then opened the sleeping bag and covered it on his body, instead of getting into the sleeping bag, probably for the sake of safety. As for Wu Tian, he was arranged next to Liu Min, covered with the extra quilt of the hermit's family, which was very thick and hard, but very clean.
Is Gu Yu also living such a life? Wu Tian's heart couldn't help but think of Gu Yu, and the other party also lived in such an environment. It's relatively close to the town, and it's convenient to buy anything, but Gu Yu's place of residence is in the depths of Zhongnan Mountain, and it's not easy to come out once. This is undoubtedly equivalent to a modern person traveling back to ancient times, from modern life to the most primitive life. No wonder Gu Yu in the photo looks pale, thin, and somewhat malnourished, and it seems difficult to maintain his original physical state in this environment. Would she rather live here than go back to the Gu family? It seems that she is really disappointed in the Gu family. But this place is really not easy to find. Even if you know that she is hiding in Zhongnan Mountain, it is not easy to find it, Zhongnan Mountain is so big, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find someone.
The next day, Wu Tian got up very late, mainly because he couldn't sleep at the latest, and finally he was so sleepy that he couldn't sleep, so he fell asleep in a daze. When he got up, Liu Min and the hermit had already gotten up. Liu Min was lighting a fire outside, and the hermit had just come back from collecting dry firewood. Breakfast was slightly more generous than last night, with hot water soaked cakes and boiled wild vegetable roots. Wu Tian didn't have much interest in this vegetable root, but when he heard that this vegetable root could be sold for more than fifty yuan a pound outside, he ate more.
After eating, he packed up his salutes, said goodbye to the hermit, and set out on the journey again.
Jungnam Mountain is very large, rolling and undulating, one after another, if you are not familiar with this place, it is easy to get lost, because in the middle of the mountain, it feels like every mountain is the same, and you can't find any difference. Especially in the ravine, or on a cloudy day, you can't even see the sun, and you can't tell the direction at all. Wu Tian was glad that Liu Min led the way on this trip to Zhongnan Mountain, otherwise he would be alone, and he would have to freeze to death here if he drank to death. (To be continued......)
