Chapter 12: A Simple Boy

After hesitating, Gu Junyang still decided to carry Pei Qian on his back and secretly go to the Lechuan Stream. In the evening, he sorted out some warm clothes and quick food. Then he checked the charms that Pei Qian had drawn for him before.

"No, there are only a few left, I knew that I would have ordered him more in advance. Gu Junyang looked at the talisman on the table with some regret.

Once he was ready, he took out a dagger from a drawer that he had treasured for many years and tucked it into the side of his boot. Then, he took out a pen and paper and wanted to leave a message for Pei Gan and persuade him not to worry. But after holding the pen for a long time, I didn't know how to explain it, and I gave up after struggling for a while. In the end, I simply left a voice message and sent it after a day. He sighed, already imagining Pei Gan's anger after hearing this voice message.

At midnight, Gu Junyang looked at the time, tightened his windbreaker, picked up his travel bag and pushed the door out.

Mengyue is located in the east of the mainland of Yunnan, with four distinct seasons. Lechuan Stream is in the extreme north of the ice and snow, if you want to go to the far north, you need to pass through the Wujun mountains in the north. It takes about three days to drive from Mengak to Wu, and after passing through the town of Wugun, you have to walk into the mountains.

Gu Junyang had never been to Wu County, and looked at the gradually undulating mountains on the side of the road, feeling a little excited. Although there are mountains in Yumedake, they can only be regarded as hills compared to here.

"I should be in the rivers and lakes, drink a pot of turbid wine, drunk and look at the flowers in the depths ......of the sorrow," he drove while humming a little tune, eating and drinking along the way, walking and stopping, and did not feel too tired. Three days later, when we arrived at the boundary of Wu County, it was already evening. Gu Junyang planned to repair the night at the hotel on the edge of the town and set off into the mountain tomorrow morning.

"It is estimated that Pei Qian is angry now!"

Gu Junyang was lying on the bed staring at his phone, hesitated for a long time, and still didn't have the courage to turn on the phone and read the text message.

"Alas... He must have been disappointed, and he certainly didn't even want to see me. Gu Junyang sighed again, pouted and said to himself: "How do you have to go back to coax me to forgive me!No, what if this guy takes the opportunity to force me to kneel on the durian? But the durian is a little too guilty!" Gu Junyang cried, sometimes he really admired his brain, "Oh, forget it, think about tomorrow and tomorrow, sleep is the most important." Then he fell asleep, and the night was surprisingly dreamless.

Before dawn, Gu Junyang packed up and set off early. The town at the foot of Wujun Mountain is where the ancient Ji family is located, and in order to avoid the monitoring of the Ji family's forces, they can only take a rugged mountain road around the side of the city into the mountain. After walking for about half a day, Gu Junyang's physical strength gradually became exhausted, after all, he usually eats, drinks and has fun, and he is used to being chic, at this time, he really feels a little tired, and finally after climbing a small hill, he saw a simple grass hut not far ahead, with tables and chairs in it, and a young man was sitting on a chair reading a book.

"Heaven will not kill me!"

Gu Junyang let out a long sigh, quickly ran a few steps to the grass shed, and sat on the bench opposite the young man.

"Excuse me, brother. Can you give a glass of water to drink, I climbed the mountain for a long time, and I drank all the little I brought, hehe. Gu Junyang smiled and raised the kettle in his hand.

"Ah, wait a minute, I'll pour you water. The young man quickly scooped out half a scoop of water from the bucket on the side and handed it to Gu Junyang.

After drinking half a scoop of water, Gu Junyang felt a lot more comfortable, looked at the surrounding environment, and asked with a sigh of relief:

"Little brother, in this big deep mountain, why are you here alone? ”

The young man replied simply, "It's okay, I'm used to guarding here by myself during the day, and I'll go back when it gets dark." There are many farmers in our village who go up to the mountains to cut firewood, and I have to study school courses on my own, so I can't help much, so I have to build a grass hut here for the villagers to rest and replenish when they are chopping firewood. ”

"Heh, at a young age, it's hard for you. By the way, this place is so remote, why do all the people in your village come here to chop wood?" Gu Junyang asked curiously.

"Because the town is getting bigger and bigger, there is no way. If you want to sell firewood at a good price, you can only go deep into the mountains. But I'm already in the northernmost part of the place, and I don't usually go in anymore. The boy replied honestly, his face flushed from the wind and sun all day.

Gu Junyang was curious, and asked casually, "Hmm, why?"

"Because there will be no road further in, and the old people in the village say that if you go further north, there will be unclean things. I still belong to the Ji family's territory, and with the blessing of the Ji family, the ghosts don't dare to come. ”

"Yo he, this Ji family is really powerful! And this special function, the ghost is scared when he hears the name. Gu Junyang quipped.

Speaking of this, the young man's eyes lit up, and he immediately became proud: "Of course, in our eyes, their Ji family is like a fairy, coming and going without a trace, with them sitting in Wu County, what demons and monsters, they don't dare to come over!" The young man paused after speaking, "That big brother, why did you come to us?"

"Oh, I'm just curious, and I'm here to travel. Gu Junyang scratched his head.

"Don't go any further, it's really dangerous ahead, and we locals don't dare to go further north. Here, this pot of water has been filled for you. The young man handed the full kettle back to Gu Junyang.

"Thank you. Gu Junyang took the kettle and smiled at him.

"Big brother, you look so good when you smile. ”

"Uh..."

Without waiting for Gu Junyang to answer, the young man raised his head and shouted behind Gu Junyang: "Uncle Wang." Then he hurried over.

"Uncle Wang, it seems that the harvest has been good these days, the firewood is so good!" the young man squatted down to help the old man get firewood.

"Yes, I haven't cut it down in the past few days, and the roots are good materials, and they can be sold for a good price!

"Oh, I just met a big brother who came to visit us. After speaking, he looked back and saw that Gu Junyang had already walked away, and there was some money left on the table.

"Ah, Uncle Wang, look, Qian !!" The young man picked up the money, looked at Gu Junyang's back with some excitement, chased a few steps north, put his hands on his mouth and shouted: "Big brother, thank you, you must pay attention to safety..."

"Silly boy, people pity us, that benefactor must be a great good person, blessed by the Ji family!" Uncle Wang was also a little excited.

Gu Junyang raised his right arm high, waved his hand, and did not look back.

The road ahead became thinner and thinner, and in the end, as the boy said, there was no way out. Gu Junyang had no choice but to take out a dagger in one hand to cut through the branches blocking the way and open the way, and hold a compass in the other hand to identify the direction. As it became more and more northward, the surrounding air became colder and colder, Gu Junyang put on a cotton coat, drank saliva, put on a travel bag, and continued to move forward.

In the evening, after Gu Junyang climbed over the top of a small mountain, he finally saw the snow-capped mountain in front of him. The sunset over the snow-capped mountains is beautiful.

Gu Junyang was a little excited, took out the map and carefully compared the terrain, and it was already certain that he was finally about to enter the Lechuan Stream region!
