Chapter 60: Crossing the Border
A few days later, early in the morning.
An old van followed a red BMW to a slow stop on a remote mountain road.
As soon as the car stopped, a figure came down.
But it was Xu Ran who opened the car door first and got out of the car, and then went to Huang Na.
However, as soon as they got out of the car, the van behind also opened the door, but it was Uncle Li who stepped out of the car. As for Wei Yan, after several people got out of the car, he slowly pushed open the door and jumped out of the car with sleepy eyes.
As soon as he got out of the car, Xu Ran and the others all looked at Wei Yan in unison.
This guy didn't let the girl go to soak, but ran to this kind of mountainous place to feed the mosquitoes in the mountains. I don't know if the nerve line is wrong, Xu Ran persuaded him several times, but he didn't listen, it's good now, a literary and artistic young man doesn't know if he can feed the insects in the mountains.
At this moment, Uncle Li suddenly pointed to the smoky mountain in front of him and said: "If you want not to be discovered by the border guards, you can only pass through that mountain, but ......" He paused and looked at Xu Ran, and after seeing Xu Ran nodding, he continued to say, "That mountain is also called Devil's Mountain, and most people dare not approach it, it is said that the mountain is full of poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, as long as you bite it, you will be poisoned to death." ”
After that, several people looked at each other, and finally looked at Xu Ran in unison.
Of these, he is the only one who can do the Lord.
I saw Xu Ran tilt his head slightly, glanced at a few people, and then said slowly: "I still say that, this is my personal matter, you don't have to risk life and death to follow me, if you want to quit, it's still too late." ”
Huang Na didn't hear Xu Ran's words, and resolutely stood beside Xu Ran.
And Wei Yan doesn't need to say much, he and Xu Ran are brothers, and of course they will follow Xu Ran.
But Uncle Li began to hesitate, after all, he and Xu Ran were only in an employment relationship.
Xu Ran looked at Uncle Li, who was hesitating, and was not in a hurry to ask for an answer, he also knew Uncle Li's situation.
He is a family person, different from young people like Xu Ran, and is the spiritual pillar of the family.
Huang Na and Wei Yan were also looking at Uncle Li, wanting to hear him say the answer in his heart.
At this time, Xu Ran suddenly said to Uncle Li again: "Uncle Li, you don't have to be embarrassed, even if you don't come with us, I will hire you to work in my company." ”
After hearing Xu Ran's words, Uncle Li seemed to suddenly have an answer in his heart, and finally he gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Go, why don't you go, just after he met Xu Ran and them, he could no longer live a peaceful life like a normal person.
"Go! Xu Shao went there, and I followed wherever I went. ”
"Good!" Xu Ran nodded, in fact, he didn't want Uncle Li to follow, because there was an extremely dangerous road ahead.
After getting Uncle Li's response, Xu Ran instructed Huang Na and Wei Yan to go to the car to get something. However, he discussed the walking route with Uncle Li, and tried to reach the foot of Devil's Mountain before dark.
After making preparations, Xu Ran and the others carried a duffel bag on their backs and walked in the direction of Devil's Mountain.
Because there is no road to Devil's Mountain, their car can only find a hidden place to put it up.
Along the way, Xu Ran and Wei Yan were talking and laughing, talking about the strange things they had encountered over the years, Xu Ran didn't believe his words very much, but the other two were not the same thing, they both stared at Wei Yan with curious eyes, making Xu Ran think that Wei Yan was the protagonist here.
Fast as two hours passed, and daylight began to appear on the mountaintops in the east.
After walking for a while, Xu Ran and the others finally sat and rested under a big tree.
It's past five o'clock in the morning, and the air in the woods is very humid, and you can see dew slowly falling on the leaves.
And at that moment, it seemed that a new life was born in this world.
Xu Ran glanced at the surrounding environment, and they had long lost the excitement they had when they entered the mountain, and they had no time to appreciate the beauty of nature.
Xu Ran, Huang Na, and Uncle Li are okay, they don't feel tired, but Wei Yan is tired like a pug, snuggling up to the tree, panting one bite at a time.
"Hey! I said, aren't you all tired! Wei Yan gasped and looked at Xu Ran and them.
Xu Ran and Huang Na shook their heads at the same time, while Uncle Li looked at Wei Yan with a smile and said nothing.
Wei Yan was bored with himself, picked up the mineral water on the ground, and poured it into his mouth.
And Xu Ran also began to carefully look at the surrounding environment at this time.
The surroundings are green and verdant, full of wild grasses and tall trees, dense, and the leaves cover most of the day, if someone does not step on the ground and leave footprints, it is difficult to distinguish where is the east and where is the west.
Xu Ran looked at it for a while, and knew that this was a primeval forest, and no one would come to such a place.
It's no wonder that Uncle Li said that there is no one to guard here, and he dares to love that this is a no-man's land.
On the ground, the trees are full of crawling ants, and some camouflaged insects are waiting for the arrival of their prey.
This may be nature, where ants are good at strategy, and insects are good at predatoring, just like a miniature version of humans, at this moment staged primitive instincts, survival of the fittest.
Xu Ran sat for a while, then stood up.
There are mosquitoes everywhere in the mountains, and if they hadn't applied insect repellent powder in advance, it is estimated that several people would have been targeted by mosquitoes and could afford to make big buns.
After resting for a while, Xu Ran and the others once again set foot on the road to Devil's Mountain.
According to the original route, it was first through a jungle, then over a small river, and then seven or eight roads back to the foot of Devil's Mountain.
But when they passed through the jungle, they did not find the river, but the deeper they went, the deeper the environment became, and the light became fainter.
At this moment, Xu Ran suddenly stopped, and he seemed to hear the voice of Xi Xi Suosuo.
When several people saw him stop, they also stopped. At the same time, he looked at Xu Ran suspiciously.
"What's wrong?" Huang Na was closest to him, and immediately asked.
Hearing Huang Na's voice behind him, Xu Ran turned his head abruptly and made a silent gesture towards Huang Na, Wei Yan and Uncle Li.
Then several people nodded at the same time, looking around cautiously.
Suddenly, not far away, there was a wolf howl.
Several of them held their breath at the same time, you look at me, I look at you, and they all saw the horror in each other's eyes.
It was the howl of a wolf.
Xu Ran gestured to Uncle Li at the back, signaling him to turn back the way he came.
But at this time, Wei Yan didn't know what he stepped on, and the click alarmed the wolves.
This guy, Xu Ran really wanted to slap him on the head.
actually dropped the chain on the knuckle.
Wei Yan smiled and scratched his head embarrassedly.
But it was too late.
The wolves had heard the movement outside.
Soon a wolf began to howl, and there was a first, and there was a second.
They seemed to be sending a message until a pack of wolves began to howl.
After a while, several wolves emerged from the bushes, and when they saw that they were humans, they grinned and howled as if they were calling their companions.
Xu Ran and the others had already withdrawn some distance, but they were still discovered by the wolves.
Xu Ran beckoned Huang Na behind him to evacuate here first, and he dealt with it in the back.
However, Huang Na obviously disagreed with his idea, shook her head vigorously, and stood with Xu Ran.
Wei Yan had nothing to say, as soon as he saw Huang Na standing beside Xu Ran, how could he lose this backbone as a big man, so he turned his heart and stood beside Xu Ran.
And Uncle Li saw that Huang Na and Wei Yan refused to leave, so he could only shake helplessly, now that the time had gone, it was impossible to get out of the encirclement of the wolves, so he could only stride forward and stand beside Xu Ran.
