Chapter 7: Back Mountain

After a night's sleep at the inn, I woke up to the end of the day. I was startled, and turned my head to look at Boss Ye's bed next door, only to find that only the futon was spread on the bed, and Boss Ye was gone.

I sat up in confusion and looked out the window subconsciously.

Sure enough, Boss Ye was standing there, chatting happily with the innkeeper.

I got up in a hurry, washed up in a hurry, and walked out.

"Yo, up? You can really sleep. Boss Ye heard movement from here and turned his head.

"yes, what are you talking about, I didn't see you come to wake me up." I stretched and saw Boss Ye hand over a cigarette. After hesitating for a moment, he took it and clicked it.

"I heard from the boss, you saved me last night. It's really hard for you to carry me back. Boss Ye smiled.

"Why are you talking about this, you haven't saved me a lot." I waved my hand and motioned for him to stop.

Boss Ye nodded, lowered his head and took a puff on his cigarette.

At this time, the boss suddenly interjected and said, "That, you two haven't said it yet, what are you doing here?" Are you just here for a tourist? ”

Hearing this, I tilted my head, thought about it, and told the innkeeper the ins and outs of the matter.

When the innkeeper heard that I was coming with an kyanite glass box, his eyes lit up.

After I finished speaking, he immediately replied: "In the upper village, there is an old man who is specially responsible for organizing the Yin people, if you can find him, maybe you will know who the box should be handed over." ”

I nodded, remembering what the innkeeper didn't finish last night: Only the upper village in the back mountain-

I took the opportunity to ask, "Boss, I remember that you also mentioned the upper village in the back mountain last night. What's in the upper village? ”

"Go to the village, now those construction teams live, including the expedition team you mentioned earlier, also live there." The boss said, narrowing his eyes, "Before, it was originally the residence of the villagers, but then the villagers moved down, and there was no one living there." ”

"So it's empty?" Boss Ye was surprised, "Didn't you say that one of the organizers of the Yin Renke is up there." ”

"Yes, he should be the only one left there, and then the upper village became a ......" The boss turned and turned his gaze to the god table in the main hall.

I immediately understood what the upper village was all about.

"Okay, boss, I got it, thank you. Then Boss Ye and I will go up, and after finding the person you said, we will investigate the matter of this expedition by the way. ”

The boss nodded, and took something out of his pocket: "You take this, the topographic map of the back mountain, it may be useful." ”

I took it and found that it was very soft, not made of ordinary paper, but more like some kind of leather product.

I muttered, and Boss Ye instantly became interested, grabbed the map, and studied it there.

Seeing this, I had no choice but to go back to the room alone and take out Boss Ye and my backpack. After that, Boss Ye and I picked up our backpacks and walked out of the wooden door of the inn.

At the entrance of the alley, a person suddenly appeared and blocked our way.

"I'll go with you, or something will happen to you."

The person who came was Miss Jiang, who was carrying a lantern in one hand and a small handbag in the other, and her clothes had been changed into thick sweatshirts. But this did not affect her temperament and figure in the slightest, and once again succeeded in attracting me.

"Hey, don't keep staring at people." Boss Ye next to me pushed me, but his eyes also looked at Miss Jiang in front of him for a moment.

Although Miss Jiang has her back to us, she can feel it when we stare at others like this. After scolding "hooligan", he left on his own.

"Look, let you stop staring at people, they are being stared away by you." Boss Ye knocked on me, and then quickly walked up and walked in a row with Miss Jiang.

I widened my eyes, sneered a few times, and then chased after me shamelessly.

The three of them walked up the hill in a row, chatting all the way. During this period, we met the middle-aged man who came to find fault yesterday and was beaten by a group of drunk men at night.

Boss Ye and I wanted to laugh a few words, but when we saw Miss Jiang passing by the middle-aged man, we lowered our heads and walked over quickly. No matter how much we shout in the back, ignore us.

I knew that there must be something hidden in this, so I asked Boss Ye to stop using the middle-aged man and follow him as if he didn't know.

But after this one, we weren't in the mood to joke, and we didn't follow Miss Jiang next to her, just silently followed her.

Fortunately, we were already on the way up the mountain, and we could already see some figures flashing halfway up the mountain. To be on the safe side, the three of us walked very carefully.

In this way, we finally reached the top of the mountain in a tense atmosphere all the way......

After reaching the top of the mountain, I looked out at the back mountain. Sharp-eyed, I soon spotted something out of the ordinary.

I pointed to the place and asked Boss Ye, "Boss Ye, does it look like an excavation site?" ”

Boss Ye narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction I was pointing. After a long time, he replied: "It seems to be so, but do you need to dig to build a flood control project?" ”

In fact, there is no need to think about this problem, the construction of flood control projects is mostly to dig pits and plant trees or add flood control net walls, even if you need to dig pits, you don't need to dig like this.

Sure enough, there was a problem!

I thought to myself, looked at the excavation site again, and suddenly remembered my grandfather's cave.

I'm afraid it's already been discovered, right? I was shocked, but then calmed down - they had been here for so many days, and eighty percent had already found the cave. Luckily, there wasn't anything in the cave, so they could go in if they wanted to.

At this time, Boss Ye had already taken out the map and studied it there, I looked at Miss Jiang next to me, and saw that she had no intention of leaving, so I was curious: "Aren't we leaving?" Not going to Uemura? ”

"The time is not right, you will definitely not find the person you are looking for at this time, and you will be discovered by those outsiders." Miss Jiang said coldly and looked into the distance again.

I said "mm-hmm" a few times to ask her what she was looking at. When the words came to his lips, he felt embarrassed, so he had to leave in a huff.

Then, with the help of my memory, I looked in the direction of the ghost gate.

From here, you can only see the top of the gatehouse of the Ghost Gate, and nothing else, let alone my grandfather's secret cave hidden behind the small hillside.

Forget it, I'll take another look at the situation in this back mountain.

I was about to turn around, but Miss Jiang spoke at this time: "Okay, let's go, the time has come." ”

I had no choice but to take a quick glance at the excavation site, and then followed Miss Jiang down the mountain......
