The heavy snow finally stopped, and the sun hung in the sky for half an afternoon, and now I was ready to get off work.

Qin Anchen glanced at his watch, it was 5:450 p.m., and they had walked for eight hours one after another, but they still couldn't see the shadow of the resort, not even the outermost guardrail.

Su Luo's endurance was beyond Qin Anchen's imagination, she didn't shout a word of tiredness all the way, as if she was afraid that she would become a burden to Qin Anchen, she held a sleeping bag in her arms, and sometimes asked Qin Anchen what time it was.

The two rarely spoke, in order to maintain sufficient physical strength.

took a sip of cold water and moistened her throat, Su Luo's whole body was excited, this water was too cold.

They can't hear the conversation of those people on the walkie-talkie at all now, maybe they have changed a new channel, or they may have blocked the walkie-talkie in Qin Anchen's hand.

"Su Luo, look." After Qin Anchen stood up the hillside, he stopped, turned around and said to Su Luo.

She followed the direction pointed by Qin Anchen, looked down, and found a small village, although there were only less than ten houses crowded among the mountain roads, but for the two of them, it was even happier than discovering a paradise resort island.

After having a visible goal to move forward, the mood of the two was obviously high, Su Luo had an excited smile on her face, and the pace of the aisle also accelerated a lot.

"Qin Anchen, let's hurry down!"

After going down, it would be nice to soak your feet in hot water and eat a pack of hot instant noodles, Su Luo thought to herself.

Although the village was close at hand, it took more than half an hour to get to the front.

As soon as the two entered the village, they met an old man in an old black cotton suit.

He also had a pair of flower-framed glasses on his face, and he was not surprised to see Qin Anchen and Su Luo looking dusty, and opened his mouth to ask, "You are lost travelers, right?" ”

These words omitted the words that Qin Anchen had thought of in his stomach, because he was also going to introduce his and Su Luo's identities in this way.

"How do you see that?" Qin Anchen asked.

The old man's eyes looked at the sleeping bag that Su Luo was holding in his arms, and he said, "The sleeping bag that this little girl is holding can't be recognized by my old man?" ”

"You've got a good eye." Su Luo smiled and praised him.

Before the two of them could speak again, the old man said with ease: "If you come to spend the night, you can come with me." If we borrow gasoline, we really don't have it. ”

Qin Anchen just wanted to talk about borrowing gasoline, but after thinking about what he said later, he naturally thought of the group of people in black, so he asked, "You said about borrowing gasoline...... Did a group of men in black just come? ”

"yes, why are you all in the same group?" Hearing Qin Anchen say this, the old man's expression was obviously displeased, as if those people in black had left a very bad impression on him.

"No, you misunderstood, we met those people on the road before, but they were a bit fierce......" Su Luo stood up and explained, shaking her hands and heads together.

"Hmph, it's best if you don't know each other, otherwise I won't let you two stay in the village." Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to know those people, the old man softened his attitude a little, and led Qin Anchen and Su Luo to his house.

Now every family is cooking dinner, some people eat early, and when they see the old man washing dishes in the yard, they take the initiative to greet him, and the attitude seems to respect the old man.

Finally, the three of them stopped in front of an old-looking earthwork.

"The other villagers don't want to take in outsiders, so why don't you stay with me, one or two?" The old man asked.

Qin Anchen and Su Luo glanced at each other, and he said, "Two rooms." ”

"One hundred, I will rent two of them, and I will calculate it cheaply, and I will ask you for one hundred and eighteen. There is no hot water in the house, so you need to light a fire outside to boil water, but the kang is very warm, so you can rest assured that you will not fall asleep in the middle of the night and fall asleep. The old man said with a blank look.

Su Luo felt that the old man had a very cold humor quality, and he was not impatient, and listened carefully to him as he talked about the precautions for moving in.

"No noise after 10 p.m., meals are free, but you need to do it yourself."

"Okay." Qin Anchen said.

The old man led them to his room, and Qin Anchen took out the few cash on his body and handed it to the old man.

The other party took the money and didn't leave immediately, standing at the door and looking at Qin Anchen carefully: "You came from the city with your girlfriend to play?" ”

"Well, yes." Qin Anchen nodded.

"I don't know what's fun." The old man muttered, turned around and shook his head and walked out.

They didn't have anything to clean up, so Su Luo boiled water, took out instant noodles and sausages, and made a delicious noodle soup for the two.

"Whew-" She blew on the steaming noodles, and then took a big inhale, the hot soup noodles only rolled the food in her mouth, and after swallowing it, she sighed with satisfaction: "It's delicious!" ”

"Be careful, don't burn your esophagus." Qin Anchen reminded her that although he was also hungry, he still had a habit of waiting for the noodles to be cooler before eating. Three-two

"This noodle soup should be eaten while it is not completely soft and cold!" Instant noodle veteran Su Luo said.

After the two finished eating the noodles, Qin Anchen took the initiative to wash the pots and bowls, and Su Luo borrowed a charger from the old man to charge the phone that was facing shutdown.

She thinks that once she charges the phone, she can call for help outside.

However, Su Luo still thought too simply.

Two hours later, after Su Luo turned on the phone that was freezing in the snow, she was miserable to find that the column of the signal grid was marked with a big "X".

"It's hard to have a signal here, it's snowy, and it's deep in the mountains, if you can get to the scenic spot tomorrow, there should be a little signal."

Speaking of this, Qin Anchen thought of a slightly grim question. There is no signal base station here, which means that the satellite signal is also unstable, so Lan Luo has not been able to find himself after most of the day.

Before entering the scenic spot, you must not be caught by that gang!

The old man didn't know what to do outside, and he entered the courtyard with his hands behind his back at half past nine, at this time Su Luo was already asleep in the house, and the warm and warm earthen kang was very hypnotic, soothing Su Luo's body after a day of running.

Qin Anchen stood in the courtyard smoking, with three or four cigarette butts lying at his feet.

"It's not okay to smoke so fiercely at a young age." The old man stood beside him and looked up at him.

Qin Anchen took out the cigarette case, and the consciousness of his action was to ask the old man if he smoked, and the other party waved his hand and said, "It's been more than ten years." ”

This is a very persevering thing, Qin Anchen nodded, took the cigarette case back into the capital, and threw the remaining cigarette butt into the snowdrift.

"I don't think you're like a normal child." In the silence, the old man suddenly said.

Qin Anchen was not in a hurry to deny it, he only said: "Parents are teachers. ”

The old man understood, nodded and praised: "No wonder your temperament looks so outstanding and straight, hey, these shoulders are wide and flat." ”

"Your car broke down? Or ......"

"The car broke down, we got lost, we wanted to ski, but then we got farther and farther away from our destination, so we just threw everything away." Qin Anchen said.

"Then you're lucky to be here." The old man was a little surprised, he knew that the ski area was divided into two areas, one was a gentle slope area for novices, and the other was a thrilling master area without guardrails.

The novice area is in the Tianquan Mountain Scenic Area, so they won't get lost, so the old man judged that Qin Anchen and the others were blindly looking for them all the way outside.

Next, in a conversation with the old man, Qin Anchen learned that before Tianquan Mountain became a resort area, this was originally a small town on the edge of the city.

Later, in order to collect the place, the investors used the relocation money to drive out most of the people. The rest of the people who insisted on staying here and not leaving were all in this small village.

Most of them are elderly people who live a stable and comfortable life, and some are relatively young people in their thirties.

Originally, everyone wanted to use the resources of this hot spring to develop and seek development for the village, but after the propaganda was released, tourists were not attracted to it, but instead brought in the capitalists with vicious eyes.

This story can be summarized as most of the scenic villages in the country, Qin Anchen guessed that the cooperation funds between the village and the capitalists were not negotiated, and the other party gave a lower remuneration, so some people took the money and left, and some people stayed angrily to fight against them.

In the vast mountainous area, they stubbornly stayed here.

There is little contact with the outside world, and income has become a problem, but Qin Anchen has now thought of the source. They can rely on lost travelers to stay overnight to collect money and secure the source.

In this way, the ski resort on the other side of the village looks very problematic.

If you think about it along these lines, the ski slopes that you need to drive past without guardrails and the ravines that make it difficult to find the way you go once you go in seem to be guiding the way to this small village.

Qin Anchen couldn't help but glance at the old man more, didn't say anything, looked at the table below, it was already ten o'clock, and he said that he was a little tired and wanted to go back to sleep first.

When the sky was bright, Su Luo felt that someone was whispering to her.

She rolled over and opened her eyes with difficulty, and Su Luo was startled by the face that was so close.

"Get up, it's time for us to go." Qin Anchen whispered in her ear, he barely slept well this night.

Yesterday's conversation with the old man made Qin Anchen think of a key point, since the old man would collect his own money, then when those people came over to ask if they had seen him and Su Luo, he would definitely say no, but there was only this place within a radius of dozens of kilometers where he could stay, so the man in black would definitely give the old man a lot of benefits, so that he could leave people behind when he saw himself and Su Luo!

It may be true that this village takes in lost tourists, but the fact that only the elderly are willing to take in tourists must be fake.

Su Luo didn't have time to react, Qin Anchen helped her up, put on her coat, loaded some necessary things into her backpack, and left lightly.

It was only five o'clock in the morning when the two left, and everyone was asleep.
