Early the next morning, everyone set out.

Unexpectedly, Li Hui also asked to go with him. Cheng Ying readily agreed, in her opinion, this was for the face of her Cheng family in South China.

The Shouyang Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of miles, and although Yanyang Pass is only a county, it is the gateway to this mountain range.

Along the way, there are many scattered herb pickers and hunters selling mountain goods and various animal skins on the roadside.

At noon, everyone arrived at Yanyang Pass. Knowing that the mayor's son-in-law was coming, the county magistrate of Yanyang Pass came from afar to greet him.

After eating a hearty lunch, after asking, I heard that they were going to Shouyang Mountain, and the county magistrate immediately looked embarrassed.

"Recently, this Yangshan has been weird, and it's getting hotter and hotter. We're all right here, but when you get to the foot of the mountain, it's so hot that you're sweating profusely, and the crops in the mountain are dying of drought. The old hunters who used to live in the mountains all dragged their families out with their families. No, two days ago, experts from the province came to investigate, and they haven't given an explanation until now. ”

The county magistrate shook his head and sighed:

"If I don't figure things out again, I'm afraid that my Yanyang Pass will run out, and what do you want me to do as the county magistrate when the time comes."

Li Hui sneered:

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and prepare some dry food and water for us, and then grind and chirp, you, the county magistrate, can stop doing it now."

County Magistrate Zhang was startled, and immediately took out his mobile phone and said it, and then said with a flattering face:

"It's ready according to your instructions, you can follow the guide into the mountain."

Hearing that he was bringing a group of people into the mountain, the old hunter was full of sadness, and sighed along the way, until the bodyguard goshawk glared at him, and the old hunter honestly stopped his mouth.

"It's Shouyang Mountain in front, go in by yourself."

The old hunter pointed to a valley not far away and said:

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, this Shouyang Mountain is different from other mountains, the further you go inside, the hotter it gets, and people will get heat stroke if they don't stay in it for a while."

After the guide left, everyone walked to the depths of Shouyang Mountain.

"Stop! What people?! ”

Two soldiers with loaded guns stopped Cheng Ying and the others.

"Comrade, we want to go into the mountains."

Unexpectedly, the soldier on the left shook his head and said:

"No, there are leaders and experts in the mountains to investigate, and idle people are not allowed to enter."

Li Hui became popular now. He is the son of a dignified mayor, and on weekdays, others look at his face, but when he arrived at this place where birds don't, he was actually harassed by two special forces, so he immediately pulled down his face and said in a deep voice:

"My father is Li Guangcai, the mayor of Xintong City, and these are my friends, so I want to go in and have a look."

I didn't expect this to work, but when I heard that it was the mayor's son, the two soldiers didn't dare to stop it, but just admonished:

"Secretary Chen of the Municipal Party Committee and several experts are there."

Li Hui changed color when he heard this, his father Li Guangcai and this Chen Zemin are political enemies, both of them are competing for a position in the provincial party committee, because Li Guangcai is in charge of Shouyang Mountain, so the pressure is very great, and he was recently called over by the leaders above for questioning.

With soldiers leading the way, they quickly found Chen Zemin and others.

Seeing Li Hui, a flash of surprise flashed on Chen Zemin's face, and then he smiled:

"Your father didn't dare to come, why did he send you here?"

Li Hui is neither humble nor arrogant:

"My father reports to the province and will come back when it's over. I just brought Miss Cheng over to have a look. ”

Before the words fell, I heard Chen Zemin scold:

"Nonsense! What kind of place do you think this is, tourist attractions? Now we are discussing countermeasures with several experts, to solve the problem of Shouyang Mountain, what are you doing here? Is it sightseeing or is it a deliberate mischief? ”

"Let's take a look at what's going on in Shouyang Mountain, and by the way, I'll solve it for you."

In the corner, a calm voice came.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, only to see a middle-aged man wearing glasses walking out of the crowd. He was dressed in a gray tunic, his face was elegant, especially his eyes were bright, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

"What a big breath! By the way, solve it for us! ”

The young man next to him sneered:

"Who do you think you are, the world's first-class scientist or an immortal?! We have been discussing the issue of Shouyang Mountain for half a month, and there is still no final conclusion, why are you talking about it?! ”

After he finished speaking, he changed into a respectful expression and pointed to the two old men talking in front of him:

"On the left hand side is Academician Pan, the leading biology expert of the Chinese Academy of Sciences!"

"Next to him is Academician Wang, who is a world leader in meteorological research!"

"There is also a Professor Zhang, who is also an expert in history!"

"And you, what are you?!"

The young man looked at Wu Xueliang with a sneer.

As a student of the academician, he has seen many scenes with Pan Gang over the years, even the leaders of the provincial party committee are polite to them, and now there is a middle-aged man who is not good-looking and questions the authority of the teacher, how can he bear it!

Chen Zemin also looked displeased, and glanced at Li Hui coldly, but he was too happy in his heart.

The people you brought offended the experts, and the problem of Yanyang Pass couldn't be solved, so your father would wait to be criticized.

"All the people present are experts, which one is not a famous university scholar at home and abroad, and you dare to question their authority, so who are you?"

"Mr. Wu is a master of Taoism, proficient in mathematics, and he is also a guest of my Cheng family."

Zhao Tao glanced at the woman opposite, frowned and said:

"Who are you?"

"South China Cheng family, Cheng Ying."

The woman smiled slightly, and her face was full of pride.

Before Zhao Tao could react, an exclamation came from behind him.

"South China Cheng family!"

This time it was Chen Zemin's turn to be surprised, the prestige of the Cheng family in South China Province was like thunder, even compared with those gate lords and nobles in Yanjing, even if they were far away in Xintong City, they had heard of it.

With a status as noble as Cheng Ying, how could he not be surprised when he arrived in a small place like Xintong.

Dare to love Li Hui is just a leader, and this eldest lady of the Cheng family is the main one.

Chen Zemin immediately put on a smiling face and said politely:

"It turned out to be the eldest lady of the Cheng family, what a blessing. I don't know what Miss Cheng is doing when she comes to Shouyang Mountain? ”

"You'll know when the time comes."

Cheng Ying's words were ambiguous, and Chen Zemin was quite embarrassed.

"Mr. Wu, what do you think will happen next?"

Chu Yi could see that although Cheng Ying was the highest status among everyone, it was Wu Xueliang who made the decision every time.

"Let's go inside."

Everyone walked towards the hinterland of Shouyang Mountain, they didn't care at first, but the deeper they went, the hotter they felt, and the few fat officials were already sweating.

"Teacher, it's getting hotter and hotter inside, why don't we go back."

Zhao Tao was already sweating profusely and retreated. He has followed Pan Gang for many years, but he hasn't learned much about the academician's skills, but his temper and shelf are getting bigger and bigger.

Even if he doesn't have a half-official position now, he still disdains low-level officials. As for ordinary people, they are even more condescending.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, since we finally came here, we naturally have to give an explanation to the people of this Yanyang Pass, otherwise what is the use of the country raising our old bones?!" If you want to go back, go back yourself. ”

Academician Pan said categorically, and Academician Wang and Professor Zhang also nodded again and again.

In the depths of the mountain, the off-road vehicles could not enter, and everyone had to walk into the mountain, and the food and water they brought were quite limited.

After dinner, the fighters in charge of the defense began to distribute mineral water.

The dry food is okay, everyone doesn't eat much, and as for the drinking water, it is more scarce.

The temperature in Shouyang Mountain is extremely high, and there is almost no sign of natural water sources in the valley, and dozens of people can only rely on the mineral water they carry to quench their thirst.

Zhao Tao walked for a day, he was so thirsty that he just got a bottle of water and drank it to the bottom, and he was still unsatisfied, seeing that there was still a bottle at hand, he was not polite, and he drank it when he copied it.

"It's so cool."

He wiped his mouth and dropped the bottle.

But the warriors on the side stopped him.

"Mr. Zhao, there is only one bottle of water for a person to eat, and what you just drank was someone else's."

"Someone else's?"

Zhao Tao frowned:

"Who's?"

The little warrior pointed to the young man in the corner who closed his eyes and said:

"His."

Zhao Tao turned his head to see that he was just a hairy boy, and immediately sneered:

"It's just a bottle of water, it's not a big deal."

After speaking, he patted the little warrior on the shoulder and walked away.
