Chapter 66: The Dark Jungle

In the south of the colorful clouds, the mountains dance and the clouds are around, the rain breaks and the rainbow flies at night, and the wind comes early and the sky is clear.

It's a sanctuary of love and romance, and all the vows are beautifully colored in the stunning scenery.

On his first trip with Meng Xing, Yunnan is a mysterious and fantastical place for most couples. But for Meng Xing, this supposed beautiful mountain village is full of sadness and darkness.

I didn't tell Meng Xing about being watched by the guards, and after eating that day, we got back on the observation car, and sat at the terminal, and then changed to an electric bicycle with colorful flags, Meng Xing told the coachman to go to Cangyue Cliff.

It's a strange and chic place name, with a cliff character, and I guess it must be a dangerous place to visit.

The bicycle drove about ten kilometers outside the city, a mountain with layers of mountains, cyan floating mountains jumped in front of you, and above the valley, the vast forest sea, the ink was picturesque.

The coachman said that he could only walk up the mountain, and in front of him, a pine forest bluestone road loomed, shuttling up the trees.

Walking through a verdant pine forest, a huge god-like rock forms a natural arch, and a wooden sign stands beside it, with the words "Cangyue Cliff" written on it.

Along the crooked mountain road, follow Meng Xing to climb up, after walking out for a few miles, the eyes suddenly opened up, there is a small courtyard located on the mountainside, in front of the courtyard is a large hillside, looking up, full of blooming wildflowers and green grass.

The wooden sign at the entrance of the small courtyard reads "Cangyue Pavilion", there are not many rooms in the pavilion, a type of blue brick and tile house, the architectural style is unique, the national classical wooden design, the roof is covered with green vines, small flowers of various colors bloom between the green vines, and the trees in the yard are staggered.

It's a fairytale-like world of tranquility and color.

There is a bluestone road outside the courtyard, along the bluestone road to the end, a small river sings from the grass and jungle trees, the source of the river is on the high mountain in the distance, it is an ancient spring, for thousands of years, it has been caressing the mountains and fields for a moment, nourishing all the creatures near the Cangyue Pavilion.

It is said that the small river where the mountain springs converge is connected to Butterfly Town, and if you follow the river, you can walk to the same ancient mountain spring that Su Jing sacrificed.

At this time, there are not many tourists, so we chose a blue and yellow glazed tile house with large floor-to-ceiling glass to live in.

At that time, the sun was setting in the west, and the endless hillside outside the courtyard was golden yellow, surrounded by mountains and lush forests, and the river passed around the slope in the distance.

Walking to the high place, you will faintly see several small villages on the other side of the river through the misty mountains and seas, and residents will hold up bamboo rafts in the middle of the river, and the bamboo rafts will shuttle back and forth on the river. At dusk, under the lazy and clean afterglow of the sun, a vivid mountain scene is outlined.

Farther down the hillside are terraced fields, where villagers are working in cotton skirts and shiny floral headdresses, and in the distance there are people singing mountain songs.

Meng Xing and I walked on the hillside, the surrounding scenery was indescribably beautiful, and I walked in this paradise, as if I was in the beautiful dream I once portrayed for Meng Xing.

The wind blows, the surrounding grass and trees are undulating, and at a glance, the mountains are dancing. Opposite the Cangyue Pavilion is the Cangyue Cliff, Meng Xing said that it is the place where the ancient ethnic minorities can not become dependents of the couples martyred, under the Cangyue Cliff is the river that flows for thousands of years, there is a dragon pool under the cliff, the legend is that there is a dragon in it, so that the kind lovers can meet in the sky after death.

Cangyue Cliff also has a layer of meaning, called Tibetan Moon Cliff, in the night, the moon will slowly rise from behind the cliff, the cliff hangs on the canopy, the moon hangs behind it and is big and round, when the wind blows through the mountains and seas, the shade of the trees shades the moon, the moon is like a shy girl blinking her eyes, the clouds float over, it will hide behind the cliff, so that the whole mountain is immersed in a bright and hazy dream.

Stay in Cangyue Pavilion, wake up in the morning sun every day, and fall asleep when the moon is hazy. I wandered through the stunning scenery and forgot all my worries.

Meng Xing was also attracted by the beautiful scenery and was in a happy mood, but I knew that she was always thinking about Su Jing in her heart. Sometimes at night, she would look out the window at the quiet mountains and forests in a daze, and even shed tears in her sleep.

Sometimes, you rush to a place to visit a friend you haven't seen for a long time, but for some reason you feel uneasy. The more I got to the front, the more afraid I was of seeing each other. Meng Xing has this kind of ambivalence, on the one hand, she really wants to go to Su Jing's cemetery to see Su Jing, on the other hand, she is afraid to face it again, she can't forgive the fact that she has not been able to show Xue for Su Jing.

This place was so close to Butterfly Town that she could hear the missed shootout in her sleep, and the heart-wrenching sound of gunfire would wake her up from her dream, and in the cool night, she would break out in a cold sweat.

When I opened my eyes, I would see Meng Xing making a gesture of pulling out a gun, and after she came to her senses instantly, she stared out the window blankly like a moonlight, looking tired.

One day at noon, Meng Xing received a phone call and went to the city alone, I thought it was the local police who called her, so I didn't ask much.

When she came back, she hesitated and said, "I'll tell you something, and I'm afraid I'll embarrass you." ”

I smiled and said, "What can't be said." ”

She walked up to me and sat down, and said seriously, "My uncle wants to see you." ”

My heart sank, and my smile stiffened on my face. The uncle Meng Xing said was Meng Yuanyang, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Ocean Group, I didn't know why he wanted to see me, so I asked, "When?" Where is it? ”

"My uncle also came to Qingluo, he came to discuss business, we met at noon, I said with you, he wants to see you." Meng Xing said.

I can't guess what Meng Yuanyang is doing in Qingluo at this time, it is unlikely that he will come to this small border town to talk about business, maybe there is another purpose, the Ocean Group is being investigated, is it because he wants to leave the country from here? I guessed as I said, "When will we meet?" ”

Meng Xing held my hand and said, "You agreed?" ”

I pinched her cheek and smiled and said, "What's so embarrassing about this, I'm not a national leader." Besides, he is your uncle, how can the elders not see the younger when they see the juniors? ”

She smiled and said, "I realized that your mouth is so sweet." ”

Meng Xing still doesn't know the details of my grievances with the Ocean Group, if she can clearly know everything that happened in the past, I believe she will not let me see anyone from the Ocean Group no matter what.

I promised to see Meng Yuanyang, and I also had a purpose, that is, to find out the whereabouts of Zhang Shuai and the guards by the way, which was an adventure, but I couldn't wait to gamble.

Towards evening, Meng Xing called an electric bicycle and boarded the car at the place where the wooden sign of Cangyue Cliff was written at the bottom of the mountain.

Along the way, we watched the sunset gradually disappear behind the mountain, Meng Xing told me about the scenery along the way, back then, she and Su Jing had climbed many mountains on the rest day, and the feelings of the past were as vivid as yesterday and today.

An hour later, we arrived at a hotel in the city, one of the best hotels in the area, resplendent in splendor, surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by greenery.

and Meng Xing sat in the hotel restaurant and waited, during this period, she smiled and said that her uncle liked and loved her the most since she was a child, when she was a child, there were senior male classmates who bullied her, and her uncle would always send someone to threaten her, and several older bad classmates were scared to transfer schools. Later, my uncle had an older sister Junjun in the family, so he spent most of his time cultivating Junjun.

"At that time, I was still jealous of Junjun, and took away my uncle's love for me, and I also threw a little ant into her water cup to scare her, but I didn't expect that after Junjun saw it, he was not frightened at all, and drank it in one gulp." Meng Xing said with a smile.

I responded to Meng Xing while looking around absentmindedly. Imagining what Meng Yuanyang was like, able to control the huge criminal organization of the Ocean Group for many years, his face must be full of the insidious and cunning aura of manipulating crimes over the years.

When it was almost dark, six or seven people walked down the spiral staircase of the hotel, led by a thin man of about fifty years old, holding a string of black and shiny Buddha beads in his hand, wearing a loose half-sleeved silk jacket embroidered with several golden dragons.

He had a smile on his face, and he couldn't tell whether it was a smile or a sneer, but it was a fixed expression. The eyes of a man are straight, as if they want to penetrate into the heart of man. There are several deep wrinkles engraved on his forehead, and the whole person looks very deep, and there is a sense of vicissitudes on his body.

Although his appearance did not seem to have any sense of evil or fierceness, when he was a few feet away, he could feel the terrifying murderous aura and overwhelming gloom that came to his face.

Meng Xing walked over and grabbed his arm: "Uncle! ”

I got up from my seat, and Meng Xing introduced me, "This is Xia Yu, this is my uncle." ”

I said in a slightly stiff tone, "Hello Uncle Meng." ”

He nodded at Meng Xing, pulled her to sit down, and stretched out his hand to signal me to sit. Once seated, the five or six men lined up behind him. These people wore sunglasses and looked ahead, making it impossible to see their expressions and physiognomy.

At a glance, my heart jumped "suddenly".

Zhang Shuai! He was wearing the same tight black clothes as everyone else, and I didn't even notice it just now, he was not wearing sunglasses, staring at me expressionlessly, with a look of cannibalism in his eyes.

At the dinner table, only me, Meng Xing, and Meng Yuanyang were sitting. Meng Xing and I sat on either side of him. Before the dishes were ready, Meng Yuanyang opened the bottle of Moutai, poured two glasses of wine, and handed me one. He didn't say anything, he looked up and drank, just gestured at me with the bottom of his dry cup.

I don't know what his intentions are, so I can only take it up and drink it, this kind of wine glass can hold about three taels of wine in a cup, and when I drink it on an empty stomach, there is a burning sensation in my stomach.

Meng Yuanyang poured another full cup and handed it over, this time he didn't drink it, he just motioned with his hand for me to drink, and I looked at Meng Xing. Meng Xing also looked at her uncle strangely.

As soon as I tilted my head and drank the cup, I felt a rush in my stomach, and I wanted to vomit, but I tried to hold back.

Meng Yuanyang poured a third cup and handed it over, I felt that the atmosphere was not right, something was not good.

I covered my mouth and said, "I can't drink anymore, I'll get drunk if I drink this one again." ”

Meng Xing also interjected: "Uncle, how can there be someone like you, who drinks endlessly as soon as we meet, and hasn't eaten a bit." Who can stand it. ”

"You're the TV reporter?" Meng Yuanyang suddenly shot a sharp look.

I didn't say anything with my mouth open, and a bad premonition came to my mind, and my palms began to sweat.

After Meng Yuanyang threw this cold sentence at me, several black-clothed people behind him moved, and two burly and sturdy tall men walked to my side, one left and one right.

They pressed their hands on my shoulders, and my body sank down, and Meng Xing's face next to me changed instantly.

Outside, it was completely dark, and unknown night birds were wailing in the primeval jungle.

Perhaps, the dangerous dark jungle has staged a bloody slaughter of the jungle.
