The sky is just bright, the off-road vehicle is driving in the Wugong Mountains, the late autumn in the mountains is particularly cold, the hot air conditioning in the car has been on, making people feel the dirt of the air in the car, and almost everyone has an indescribable uncomfortable feeling.

Just after turning a few mountain passes, Li Bing suddenly felt a feeling of nausea in his chest, and he said slowly with a pale face: "Wan'er, stop the car, I suddenly have a feeling of motion sickness, I want to get out of the car and move and breathe some fresh air." ”

When Zhao Wan'er heard this, she slowly stopped the car on the side of the road. All four of them got out of the car and paced slowly along the mountain road, desperately breathing in the fresh morning air of the mountain area.

Zhang Yuanshan looked at Li Bing and asked, "Brother Li, don't you know how to drive yourself?" How can you get motion sickness? ”

Li Bing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know, I have never felt this way." ”

Zhang Yuanshan said thoughtfully: "Li Bing, I think you seem to have a mysterious connection with this series of strange things, especially after entering the territory of Shaanxi. It seems that what Yuan Tiangang's descendant Yuan Feng said is not unreasonable, it seems that there is a force in the dark to guide you, and our journey must be more tortuous and thrilling than in Nanjing and Anhui. You suddenly get motion sickness, maybe it will be providence for us to get off here, maybe something unexpected is about to happen. ”

Li Bing was also confused, unable to say why.

Zhang Yuanshan looked at Shi Liya, who also had a pale face, and asked, "Sister Shi, you didn't eat anything last night, and you didn't eat breakfast today, your face is so ugly, are you hungry?" Would you like to take out that bag of hare meat in my bag and give it to you? ”

Shi Liya shook her head, saying that she didn't have much appetite. Suddenly, Shi Liya found something and shouted in surprise: "Look, everyone, there seems to be a red-roofed house in the col ahead." ”

Everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this, and looked in the direction of Shi Liya's finger, and sure enough, a red-roofed house was faintly revealed in the col.

Zhao Wan'er cheered: "It looks like a vacation place, why don't we drive over now to have a look?" Anyway, Brother Qian is still in Nanjing, and it is two days away from us, so we might as well go to relax, and wait for Brother Li and Sister Shi to recover before we go to Qianxian, and we are just waiting for Brother Qian. ”

The three of them echoed in unison, quickly got into the car, and went straight to the mountain col.

Driving through a winding forest path, the eyes suddenly opened up. It was a small reservoir, with dense green on both sides, and there was no sign of late autumn withering, and there was a large open field by the reservoir, with more than a dozen cars parked and a few small red-roofed buildings standing prominently in the shade.

Roadside billboards make it clear that this is a resort that has been converted from farmhouses by local farmers.

An elderly couple greeted them warmly and introduced the beautiful scenery by the reservoir and the special food in their store to the four of them.

Walking into the mountain shop opened by the old couple, everyone looked inside, which is an independent three-story building, with simple interior decoration and strong mountain characteristics.

After some bargaining, the four finally negotiated the price with the old couple, moved the luggage from the car, and moved into two rooms.

After settling in, the four of them went downstairs and came to the hall. At this time, they noticed that there was a middle-aged man in a white chef's uniform in the hall, who was good-looking, talking to the two old couples.

Seeing everyone going downstairs, the two old couples greeted everyone warmly. When the old lady was busy pouring tea for everyone, the old man pointed to the middle-aged man dressed as a chef and introduced everyone with a smile: "This is my son, and he is also the chef of our restaurant." Don't look at him, although he doesn't have a chef's certificate, but the dishes he cooks, everyone will be satisfied after eating them. ”

The middle-aged man also smiled honestly at everyone, said goodbye to everyone, and turned into the back of the hall.

Zhang Yuanshan accosted the old man and asked the old man what was special about it.

The old man smiled proudly, pointed to the reservoir in front of the door and said, "Don't look at this reservoir is small, although it is not deep, but there are many people who come to fish. Many guests who are on vacation here also like to rent a small boat to fish in the reservoir, often can catch more than a dozen catties of big fish, and then call the restaurant on-site processing, this water is clear and fresh, but delicious. ”

Zhang Yuanshan said to Li Bing with a smile: "Brother Li, I think the four of us, how about renting a small boat and catching a few fish?" The surroundings are so quiet and the scenery is charming, maybe after a while, everyone will no longer feel uncomfortable. ”

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly laughed and said, "We have a small boat for guests to fish, and a small boat is connected with four life jackets, ten yuan an hour." "The old man had already run to the tethered boat in front of the door, lest the business be ruined.

At this time, the old lady appeared beside everyone at some point, holding four sets of life jackets in her hands, and dressed them respectively.

After everyone got on the boat, the old man propped up the boat, slowly sailed to the shore, and came to a place where the water was calm. It was a small island, a concrete pier made of man-made to be exact, and it seemed to be designed for anglers.

The old man took out two fishing rods from the boat, and from the hold he took out a small tube with ready-made bait.

Li Bing and Zhang Yuanshan picked up a fishing rod, loaded it with bait, threw it towards the lake, and then sat on two small benches.

The old man took his leave, and said that at noon, he would come again to pick up everyone for dinner.

Li Bing thanked the old man for his hospitality, and reached out to touch the cigarette in his pocket to give the old man a cigarette. When Li Bing took out the cigarette, the photo of Sun Mei that he accidentally brought out floated out and fell on the surface of the lake.

The old man hurriedly jumped into the boat, bent down and scooped up the picture. When he was handing the photo to Li Bing, his face suddenly changed.

The old man returned to the fishing platform from the small boat, and asked Li Bing with a gloomy face where he was from?

Li Bing felt so strange, the enthusiastic smile on the old man's face was no longer there, giving people a kind of terrifying yin owl. Li Bing asked puzzledly, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" I'm from Shanghai, but I'm studying in Nanjing. ”

"Nanjing?" The old man muttered to himself, his eyes seemed to burst into flames: "Are you familiar with the woman in the photo?" ”

Li Bing shook his head, the old man didn't believe it, and said with a sneer: "No wonder my daughter-in-law has been missing for so long, and the last time she said that she went to Nanjing to work." My son and I went to Nanjing a few times but didn't find anyone, so it turned out that I got along with you. ”

Li Bing was not allowed to explain, the old man had already left with the boat, and shouted to the four people: "You wait, if you don't give an explanation to our family today, no one will want to leave." ”

The four of them looked at each other and complained bitterly. Fortunately, there was no ghost in Li Bing's heart, and the other three also knew the origin of the photo, so everyone simply ignored it and saw what the old man could do.

Li Bing and Zhang Yuanshan each lit a cigarette, and the two of them didn't speak, their eyes looked at the floating fish mark on the water.

Suddenly, Zhang Yuanshan's fishing mark moved, Zhang Yuanshan hurriedly retracted the rod, and a big fish exposed the water, after several tosses, the big fish was no longer so fiercely struggling, Zhang Yuanshan threw away the cigarette. With great pleasure, he brought the big fish ashore.

Zhao Wan'er and Shi Liya were depressed, and when they suddenly saw the big fish they caught, they couldn't help but be overjoyed and cheered.

Li Bing also showed envy on his face, looking at the big fish that was still alive.

Zhang Yuanshan suddenly pressed his index finger to his mouth and "shhh ”

Li Bing looked back and saw that his fishing mark was no longer on the water, and the fishing line was also pulling underwater, and after a while, the fishing mark rebounded again.

When the fishing label dived deep into the water again, Li Bing understood that he had bumped into good luck, and it must be a huge fish that had taken the bait.

Li Bing took a deep breath and slowly dragged the fishing rod, while Zhang Yuanshan, Zhao Wan'er and Shi Liya also looked nervously at the floating fishing mark.

After a while, the fishing label seemed to stop moving. Li Bing tried to slowly retract the rod, but felt that he couldn't pull it.

Zhang Yuanshan also came over to help, but he couldn't pull it. The two did not dare to use brute force, for fear that the fishing line would be torn off.

After a stalemate, the fishing rod held by the two of them seemed to feel a little loose, and they were overjoyed and began to slowly retract the rod.

At the bottom of the lake, it seems that a big fish is slowly pulling a fishing rod to float towards the surface of the lake.
