Chapter 22: Horizons

Seeing that Luo Li and his group were drifting apart, and finally disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest path, Graphite picked up his backpack from the ground and put it on his back, patted the fat man who was squatting on the ground and smoking, and said, "Let's go." ”

The fat man threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it a few times with his foot to completely extinguish the cigarette butt.

He stood up, patted his pants, and teased graphite: "I said brother, yes, I thought you were reluctant to go, the little girl is very beautiful, you have to come on, haha." After he finished speaking, he patted Graphite on the shoulder vigorously and laughed out loud.

"You're thinking too much." Graphite said lightly.

"Don't be embarrassed, young man." The fat man pretended to be deep and winked at the graphite.

Graphite smiled and shook his head, no longer arguing with him, and turned around to leave.

Lan Ke'er frowned, hurriedly caught up, and touched him: "Eh, didn't they say that there was a wild boar in front?" ”

Graphite couldn't help but stagnate when he heard this, and muttered a little in his heart, he was not afraid of any wild boars, first, the probability of encountering wild boars in the mountains was very small, and secondly, he was not what he used to be, and he was much more courageous than before. However, now he is not alone, if he really encounters a wild boar, what will Lan Ke'er and Yun Mo do? Even the fat man and Ye Tianyu are no better.

"Can you guarantee their absolute safety?" He muttered to himself.

Thinking of this, Graphite involuntarily stopped and turned to look at the four people behind him.

Lan Ke'er saw that the graphite suddenly stopped, and said blankly: "What, don't you go?" ”

Graphite nodded with a smile to Lan Ke'er, and then shouted to the few people behind him: "Comrades! ”

When everyone looked at him, he continued to say: "Ke'er is right just now, let's discuss whether to continue to move forward, those people just now also said that there is a wild boar in front, although it is unlikely that we will encounter it, but it is also something to consider, what do you mean?" ”

"Well, according to me, let's just go back, anyway, the scenery is almost the same." The fat man first stated that this guy's opinion was that he was ready to go home, he was the fattest among the few people, and his body was burdened, and climbing the mountain was not an easy task for him.

"Momo, what do you mean?" Ye Tianyu turned to Yun Mo and asked, it seemed that he was planning to only look at Yun Mo's intentions.

Without waiting for Yun Mo to speak, Graphite reminded again: "Now what everyone has to consider is the problem of encountering wild boars, and the others can be considered later, let me remind you, although the probability is very small, it is still more dangerous if you really encounter it." ”

They are out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, not to explore, the meaning of graphite is actually obvious, and he also plans to turn around and go back.

Lan Ke'er glanced at the graphite, hesitated, and said cautiously: "Then, let's go back too." ”

"Since it's out, why give up halfway, I think we should keep going." Yun Mo suddenly spoke, and to her surprise, she insisted on moving forward.

She raised her chin slightly, pursed her lips, and stared at graphite with burning eyes, not knowing what was going on in her heart.

Ye Tianyu glanced at Yun Mo in slight surprise and said, "Okay, let's move on." ”

Graphite looked at Yun Mo not far away, and couldn't see that this Yun Mo was quite bold, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Okay, then let me say it first, in case of danger, don't panic, take care of each other, and also, it's best not to stay too far away from me, probably that's it, if you have no opinion, let's continue to move forward." ”

After Shi Shi finished speaking, he glanced at the fat man and Lan Ke'er inquiringly, and found that the two of them did not insist on objecting, so he nodded and waved his hand: "Then let's go!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked ahead, and Lan Ke'er hurriedly took steps to follow.

Yun Mo was in a trance in her heart, the reason why she insisted on moving forward just now was not because of anything else, but she faintly didn't want to go back, and she didn't want to turn back and meet Luo Li and them again, at this moment, she sighed slightly in her heart, and followed Lan Ke'er closely.

Ye Tianyu followed closely behind Yun Mo and whispered: "Mo Mo, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will not let any danger get close to you, don't worry." ”

Yun Mo should not be him, all kinds of tastes in her heart are mixed together, it is an experience she has never had before, and she herself doesn't know much about it, a little inexplicable, the machine follows Lan Keer in front of her, just walking in a muffled voice.

……

Graphite walked at the forefront, and left an extra eye along the way, as long as he felt any abnormal noise in the forest or had doubts in his heart, he extended his perception to "see" what was going on.

Along the way, he continued to use this magical perception to explore the way, and more and more he felt that the magic and magic of perception power, his observation horizon suddenly expanded a lot, and he could "see" many things that were originally invisible, and the world seemed to have become much bigger all of a sudden, if it wasn't for the use of perception to consume the spirit, he would even have maintained continuous perceptual observation, but now, he can only intermittently do it in order to keep his mind clear.

However, along the way, except for "seeing" some mountain birds, spiders and insects, flowers and plants, there was no shadow of half a wild boar.

When the group finally walked out of the bamboo forest, their eyes suddenly opened up.

At this time, they were already on the peak of a halfway mountain, and there were some houses hidden among the green trees not far away, which should be the destination of this trip, graphite had only heard of this place before, but had never set foot here, and at this time his heart was also a little fresh and curious.

"Comrades, we have arrived." Graphite pointed ahead with high interest and shouted back in greeting.

Lan Ke'er and the others were all in good spirits, looking at the place where the graphite was pointing, and their faces unconsciously showed a relaxed smile.

"Come on, it's a few steps away." Graphite shouted loudly.

Several people cheered, and they all unconsciously quickened their pace, as if they had forgotten the fatigue of climbing mountains and mountains before.

Lan Ke'er, who was still vigilant like a rabbit before, now returned to her uneasy temperament, she casually folded a small branch in her hand, and began to be active with a humming chirp all the way.

Graphite couldn't help but feel comfortable, and occasionally glanced back at Lan Keer, there was such a cute and lively beautiful girl by her side, which inevitably made people feel much more relaxed and happy.

Yun Mo was behind Lan Ke'er, and her originally depressed mood was also cheerful, but occasionally when she ran into Graphite and turned around, she deliberately looked elsewhere.

Soon, their team walked to a few wooden houses, and saw a small mountain lake between the two mountains, the lake water is clear and pleasant, reflecting the surrounding green mountains and green trees, as well as blue sky and white clouds, at this time the sun is shining, the sun is sufficient, and everything looks particularly clear and beautiful.

Several wooden houses seem to be newly built not long ago, I think it is a tourist rest point organized by the village, and there are traces of barbecue in the open space on the side, but half of the whole place is missing, with graphite's understanding of the village, he guesses that this is probably only the tourist season will have special people to stay behind and provide some services for tourists, usually no one should take care of it.

Only two wooden houses are locked, the others are hidden wooden doors, tourists can come and go as they please, and the empty inside should be for tourists to camp, or set up tents at night, or other functions are unknown, in short, it is very quiet, very quiet.

The fat man unloaded his backpack on a long corridor in front of the wooden house, sat on the wooden chair in the corridor, sighed for a long time, took out a cigarette and shook it at the graphite, and shouted: "Graphite." ”

Graphite heard the fat man's shout, looked up and immediately understood, he nodded and walked over, took the cigarette handed by the fat man, sat down next to him, took out a lighter and lit it, and then leaned back on the wooden pillar of the corridor, squinted his eyes and slightly refreshed, and smoked.

Lan Keer and Yun Mo were not tired at this time, but became more and more energetic, shouting for Ye Tianyu to be a photographer to help them take pictures, Ye Tianyu was naturally willing to rush to them, and happily waited for the two beauties to take pictures around.

Graphite and the fat man sat on a bench under the porch and swallowed the clouds.

After a long time, the fat man first opened his mouth: "Graphite, you guys are honest, the scenery is really good, the key is clean, unlike those big scenic spots that are always crowded, and the good scenery has been destroyed." ”

Graphite spat out a puff of cigarette, his eyes were still half-squinted, and he said leisurely: "Hey, otherwise how could the ancients say the four words overcrowding, no matter how good the place is, it will be a problem if it is full." ”

The fat man replied leisurely: "Yes." It's not bad if you do tourism, but I don't know who developed it here, why is no one managing it? ”

Graphite said: "It is estimated that the village committee of our village took the lead, the state should have some subsidies, tourism here is a trickle, it is not easy to really make money, the economy around us is not very developed, the consumer population is not much, people outside generally only know Wuyi Mountain, will not come here." ”

The fat man thought about it, it is indeed what Graphite said, this kind of place is generally only set foot in by travelers, or young people from surrounding counties and cities know about this place, so they will come here to go on a wild tour.

"Graphite, are you still planning to go back to Summerport?" The fat man asked casually.

"I guess so."

"Are you going to go back to your old job?"

Graphite hesitated for a moment, thought about it and then said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I actually want to start a small business on my own and start my own business." ”

The fat man sat up slightly straight, stared at the graphite for a moment, and asked with great interest, "Brother, what business are you going to do?" "This guy is a business by nature and seems to be particularly interested in doing business.

Graphite said: "I don't know yet, I just don't want to work part-time." ”

The fat man was a little deflated when he heard this, he thought that graphite would have some good ideas, but he didn't expect it to be just a fantasy.

The fat man turned his head and said, "Why don't you come and do the tea business with me?" In this way, you are in charge of sales in Xiagang, I am responsible for supply, we are in charge of production, supply and marketing, and I also plan to go to Xiagang to make my own brand, how about it, brother, do you have any ideas? ”

Graphite smiled: "Chen Bin, thank you for your kindness, this may not be suitable for me, I am still thinking about something else." ”

"I suggest you think about it, it's not risky to do this, and you can always tell me if you have any ideas."

Graphite said: "To be honest, I don't have a clue now, let's talk about it after the New Year." ”

The fat man nodded and said sincerely: "Brother, it's not easy to start a business, tell me when you do something else, and I'll help you with your staff." He looked at Graphite as a scholar, and he was not bad, and he really wanted to help. What's more, judging from Graphite's previous outstanding performance on the mountain road, this person is not as simple as it seems on the surface, he actually has the intention to make friends.
