Chapter 39: Jiangyue Villa
"Manman, let's stay with an old friend of mine for the time being, and he opened a resort here!" Gong Anguo said to Chen Xiaoman, who was sitting in the back row.
"Okay, it's up to you! Uncle Gong!" Chen Xiaoman wore a big pair of sunglasses, almost covering half of his face. After running for more than ten hours, he finally came to Jiuxian Mountain, where Chen Aifei disappeared.
After waiting for less than five minutes, the convoy drove out of an off-road vehicle from the gate of Jiuxian Mountain, stopped less than five meters away from Gong Anguo's convoy, and then saw a man in his fifties push the car door and walked down. Don't look at this age, his body is still strong, and he walks with the wind, and he came to Gong Anguo's car in a few steps. Gong Anguo also opened the car door and walked down.
"Anguo, you're finally here! I've already arranged it!" said the man, his voice loud.
"Lao Jiang, I'm going to trouble you this time!" Gong Anguo also stepped forward and shook hands with the visitor.
"You Gong Anguo can come, I, Jiang Bayi, am very happy, we haven't seen each other for many years. If we don't see each other a few times, we're going to meet underground!" The man who called himself Jiang Bayi seemed to pat Gong Anguo on the shoulder with some emotion.
"Okay! You are tired from the journey, let's go! Go back to Zhuangzi first!" Jiang Bayi looked at the convoy on Gong Anguo's side and said. He was still a little strange when he received a call from Gong Anguo. This Gong Anguo is his old comrade-in-arms, and he is also a brother in life and death, for Gong Anguo's palace gate. He understands. Although Gong Anguo did not tell him specific things this time. But with so many people brought with me this time, it seems that things are not so simple. Now is certainly not the time to inquire about anything. Only go back to the villa first.
"Did you see it, I knew it was a guest of Jiangyue Villa, we can't compare with others!"
"Yes, that villa is much better than our small restaurant, and you can do it if you have money!"
"Cut! just like you've been to their cottage!"
"Why haven't I been in, I've still worked inside! The boss is generous! Give more than 300 a day!"
“......”
Looking at the convoy in the distance, several villagers who were still watching from a distance just now began to discuss.
It is said that there are nine mountains here, and only three have been developed, and the rest are all in the deepest part, where the jungle is dense and there is no human population all year round, not to mention development, it is difficult to find a proper road. These three mountains that have been developed are also relatively close to the county seat, and it is a tourism project that the county has spent a lot of effort to attract investment.
However, according to legend, some Taoist monks have been deep in the mountains all year round, because there is a Taoist temple on the sixth peak, which is said to be thousands of years old. Because it is too far from the inside, there are very few people who can go there, and only some older people in the nearby villages have been there before, also to escape the war of the year.
The car drove on the winding mountain road for a full hour before it saw a yard in front of it, and a large one came out of the yard. There are more than a dozen rooms in front and back. They are all wooden structures, and there are four words on the plaque at the gate "Jiangyue Villa".
As soon as you open the door, the fresh mountain air rushes into your face. Chen Xiaoman took a few sips, and his heart, which had been suppressed for so long, seemed to be a little relaxed. As far as the eye could see, she was surrounded by mountains. There is a large lake on the left side of the courtyard. The front is the road they came from, but they can only see a few dozen meters away, and the road is hidden behind by a sharp turn.
"This is my old friend, Jiang Bayi, you can call him Lao Jiang!" Gong Anguo looked at Jiang Bayi who came over and introduced to Chen Xiaoman.
"Uncle Jiang is good!" Chen Xiaoman Bingxue is smart, since she is an old friend with Gong Anguo, she can't favor one over the other, and this time there is something to trouble others, so she calls Uncle Jiang very affectionately and directly.
In fact, Gong Anguo had already roughly told Jiang Bayi that he was going to bring his boss's daughter over, although he was prepared, Jiang Bayi was still shocked by Chen Xiaoman's alluring appearance, especially in this environment. The surrounding mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and Chen Xiaoman really feels like a fairy when he stops here. Now he is affectionately called Uncle Jiang by the other party. While admiring this girl's beauty, I also admired her wisdom.
"Hahaha! Okay! Since you call me that, we are also fated! Na! This string of beads should be a greeting gift! Don't be polite to me. In the future, I will follow An Guo and call you Manman!"
Jiang Ba said as he untied a string of beads from his wrist and gave it to Chen Xiaoman.
"Thank you, Uncle Jiang!" Chen Xiaoman was not polite, thanked him, and accepted it.
Jiang Bayi's move surprised Gong Anguo. He knew that Jiang Bayi's string of beads was not simple, it was given to Jiang Bayi by an old Taoist priest back then, it is said that it has the function of warding off evil spirits, no matter how many dangerous places they have been to, how many tasks they have performed, Jiang Bayi will carry it and never leave him. I don't know if it's the effect of this string of beads or Jiang Bayi's life, and he has escaped death many times. Now that he actually gave this string of beads to Chen Xiaoman at the first meeting, Gong Anguo's surprise is understandable.
Chen Xiaoman was also very surprised, because the moment she took the beads, she felt that her mind was much quieter, and her long-standing anxiety seemed to have dissipated a lot. She was a little curious to take the beads in her hand and check them repeatedly, this string of beads did not know what material it was, each one was the size of peanuts, perhaps because of the relatively long years, there was already a very thick layer of pulp, dark and shiny, heavy.
Raising her head inadvertently, she seemed to see Jiang Bayi's somewhat mysterious eyes, and nodded at her.
At dinner, Gong Anguo found that Chen Xiaoman, who had been having a bad appetite for so many days, had eaten a whole bowl of rice for the first time, and his spirit was much better. He looked up at Jiang Bayi who was eating seriously, could it really be because of the string of beads given by this guy, it was a little amazing.
After dinner, in a spacious tea room, only Chen Xiaoman, Gong An Guo and Jiang Bayi, and the rest of the personnel had been placed in different rooms to rest.
At this time, Jiang Bayi was making tea, and he didn't speak, but he knew that the next thing Gong Anguo was going to say must be related to what he came this time.
"Manman! Lao Jiang is not an outsider! I'll tell him about this and see if there's a better way here!" Gong Anguo glanced at Chen Xiaoman, and finally spoke.
Chen Xiaoman didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
"You should know who Manman's father is! This time we are here for him!" Gong Anguo is also straight to the point, at this time he has long lost his usual lazy and lazy appearance, and his whole eyes are bright.
