Chu Tianyi cursed secretly in his heart, blaming himself for being negligent. It's normal for people to lock the door when they leave the archives, why didn't I think of it!

There is an opportunity in front of him, I am afraid that there will not be a second time, Chu Tianyi does not want to give up. He noticed that the lock used for this door was an old-fashioned collision lock. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when he saw Tao Wei using a plastic card to pick the door lock in Uncle Tao's bun shop.

So, Chu Tianyi also took out a bank card from his pocket and inserted it into the crack of the door. Following Tao Wei's example, he slowly adjusted the angle and position, and then one of his hands held the doorknob and pulled it back suddenly, while the other hand holding the bank card quickly sent it forward, only to hear a "click", and the door opened.

Chu Tianyi smiled slightly and breathed a sigh of relief. Push the door open and walk in, then lock it again. Chu Tianyi turned around and listened to the fact that there was no movement outside the door, and quickly walked into the inner room of the archive room, where rows of filing cabinets were placed, and he believed that what he wanted was in one of them.

The documents in the archives are all arranged in a certain department and chronological order, so it is not difficult to find them. Chu Tianyi looked over one by one, and soon found the filing cabinet in the innermost part marked with a time of about twenty years.

Chu Tianyi looked at the time, ten minutes had passed, and he didn't know how long the person Mu Feng had contacted would be able to drag out of the teacher in the archives. However, it is believed that the time will not be too long, so he must hurry.

Chu Tianyi used the fastest speed to start rummaging through the files. The exertion and nervousness soon made him sweat profusely. Eventually, though, he found the files of his father's outings with the exploration team twenty years ago in a folder for expatriate supporters.

Chu Tianyi took out the relevant information and looked at it carefully. As a result of age, the archival paper has begun to turn a little yellow, and some of the handwriting has begun to show signs of blurring due to dampness. There was a photo of his father Chu Chuan attached to the information page.

Chu Tianyi gently stroked the familiar and unfamiliar face in the photo, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. He took a deep breath, interrupted his thoughts, and began to quickly check the record below.

The record is very simple, and the general meaning is that due to the discovery of new geological sections in the Changbai Mountains, the local research institute sent some analysis samples and invited teachers from Lincang University of Geosciences as consultants to participate in their next geological exploration activities, and the exploration site was the Changbai Mountains West Road.

In the following list of dispatched personnel, the University of Geosciences sent a total of three teachers, one of whom was Chu Tianyi's father, Chu Chuan.

A letter of introduction was attached to the back of the record, and the recipient unit was the protection station on the western slope of Changbai Mountain, Manjiang Town, Fusong County, Jilin Province.

Chu Tianyi looked up and down, looked at it carefully, and then took out his mobile phone to take a few photos. After taking the photo, Chu Tianyi noticed that there were a few missed call prompts on his phone, and when he opened it, it turned out to be Mu Feng.

Chu Tianyi was wondering, this is the phone is on again, Mu Feng called again, he quickly picked it up, Mu Feng's anxious voice came out, "Big brother, what are you doing!" ”

Chu Tianyi said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry Brother Feng, I patronized the file just now, but I didn't look at my phone, what's wrong?" ”

Mu Feng's voice on the phone was a little panting, "About three minutes ago, the person in the logistics told me that the teacher in the archives room has gone back, you leave quickly!" I'm rushing over now. ”

"What!?" Chu Tianyi hurriedly agreed, "I know!" Hanging up the phone, Chu Tianyi hurriedly packed up the file and walked quickly to the door. But he was halfway through when he heard footsteps outside the door, and they were getting closer.

Chu Tianyi hurriedly turned around and walked back, and the sound of the key opening the door was already heard behind him. Chu Tianyi tiptoed to the innermost part of the filing cabinet, squatted on the ground and tried his best to suppress his somewhat rapid breathing, he felt his heart pounding fast.

At this moment, the door to the archive room was opened, and people from outside walked in. Chu Tianyi couldn't see the situation outside, but he could hear the sound of pulling chairs, and it was obvious that the person who came in had already sat down.

Chu Tianyi was a little anxious in his heart, could it be that he waited until they got off work at night? After standing for a while, listening to the people outside who had no intention of leaving, Chu Tianyi wanted to look outside cautiously to see the situation.

Unexpectedly, because he had been holding a movement for a long time, as soon as he moved his arm, the joints of his elbows made a "click" sound. The archives were very quiet, and the sound was very distinct. Chu Tianyi heard the people sitting outside make doubtful sounds, and then the sound of chairs moving, and the sound of footsteps beginning to approach.

Chu Tianyi's heart had already risen to his throat, and he began to think in his heart about what the chances of escaping would be if he rushed out.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, Chu Tianyi was ready to give it a go, but at this moment, the glass outside the archive room was suddenly smashed with a "snap". The sound of approaching footsteps suddenly ran in the direction of the window, followed by the voice of the teacher in the archives, "Who did it?" Stop, don't run!! ”

Following the footsteps of the teacher in the archives room, Chu Tianyi didn't dare to delay and hurriedly ran out of the door

Out of the office building, Chu Tianyi didn't dare to stay, and didn't stop until he walked near the school gate. He let out a long breath when he saw that there was no one behind him.

Chu Tianyi walked out of the school gate, just took out his mobile phone, and suddenly a hand slapped him behind him, Chu Tianyi couldn't help but be startled, and turned around to see Mu Feng standing behind him, "Brother Feng?" Why are you" Chu Tianyi immediately remembered the opportunity to get out of his way just now, "The person who smashed the glass just now wouldn't be you, right?" ”

Mu Feng raised his eyebrows, "I won't do this kind of thing after graduating from elementary school, I didn't expect to make an exception for you today, but fortunately, I didn't lose my head, and I hit it with one blow." ”

Chu Tianyi laughed, "Thank you, Brother Feng!" ”

Mu Feng waved his hand, "How is it?" Is there a catch? ”

"Yes," Chu Tianyi took out his mobile phone and showed Mu Feng the few photos he had just taken, "Judging from the archives, I also need to go to Changbai Mountain, so I will go to the address on the letter - the protection station on the west slope of Changbai Mountain, Manjiang Town, Fusong County, Jilin Province, to see if I can find some clues." ”

Mu Feng nodded and returned the phone to Chu Tianyi, "You also want to go to Changbai Mountain?" His eyes narrowed slightly, "It seems that our brothers can go together." ”

Hearing what Mu Feng said, Chu Tianyi remembered this time that Mu Feng had told him before that the Qi family had obtained the news that the secret box had left for Changbai Mountain, and he would chase after him soon. I didn't expect that now it was not only them, but even I would go.

Chu Tianyi was a little puzzled, things turned out to be so coincidental, "Brother Feng, the three of us are going to Changbai Mountain, do you think there will be any connection between them?" ”

Mu Feng thought for a moment, "I also feel this way, but it's hard to say now, after all, the length of the entire Changbai Mountain Range is more than 1,300 kilometers. Throwing these three groups of us into this mountain range of more than 500,000 square kilometers is no different from throwing three rats into the sea, and we may not be able to touch them for a lifetime. There are many secrets in this mountain range, so let's not add problems to ourselves. ”

Chu Tianyi felt that what Mu Feng said made sense.

Mu Feng patted Chu Tianyi's shoulder, "You first find a place to settle down, take a picture of your ID card for me, and then wait for my call." Let's go back together, I still have some relationship over there in Jilin, so I'll help you arrange it when the time comes, and you will bump around by yourself in the province. ”

Bidding farewell to Mu Feng, Chu Tianyi found a chain hotel to live in. The hotel is located in the vicinity of the University of Geosciences. Chu Tianyi stood in front of the window at night, he once felt that he had no relatives under this starry sky. However, at this time, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, was it longing, sourness, relief, or obsession?

Looking at the brightly lit campus, Chu Tianyi knew that at this stage, this might be the closest place to his father.

A day later, Chu Tianyi received a call from Mu Feng, "Tianyi, I have arranged things, I also bought the tickets, you bring your things, and in two hours, we will meet at the train station." ”

Chu Tianyi hung up the phone and began to prepare, everything was going well, and at the appointed time, he saw Mu Feng in the square in front of the railway station.

Mu Feng handed the train ticket to Chu Tianyi, "Brother Feng, thank you so much." Mu Feng's help did make Chu Tianyi a lot less troublesome, he looked at the train ticket in his hand, "Brother Feng, I'll transfer the ticket money to you in a while!" ”

Mu Feng waved his hand, "No, these two money are nothing!" ”

"How can this be!" Chu Tianyi felt very embarrassed, "This ticket is a thousand yuan less!" ”

Mu Feng frowned, "Tianyi, why are you so verbose, I said no, don't use it, if you do this again, return the ticket to me, I will refund it." Let's go our separate ways. ”

Seeing that Mu Feng was so persistent, Chu Tianyi was not reluctant, so he loaded the ticket.

Mu Feng told Chu Tianyi that since there was no direct train, this time they could only take the train to Shenyang first, and then transfer to the next train to Baishan City. It was easier to get into the mountains from there, and the reason why he bought the bullet train was to save time, after all, it would take nearly nine hours to get from Shenyang to Baishan City.

Mu Feng casually told him some of what he had seen and heard when he went out before, but Chu Tianyi listened a little absent-mindedly, his heart was a little apprehensive, he knew that he had too much uncertainty in this trip.

Mu Feng saw Chu Tianyi's abnormality and smiled, "What?" Nervous? ”

Chu Tianyi scratched his head, "It's not that I'm nervous, I just always feel that I don't have a bottom in my heart, and my heart is up and down." ”
