The first rays of sunlight in the morning, through the dense branches and leaves, sprinkled on the wooden house camp, everyone in the team woke up one after another, except for Xia Yanru, who was on duty at the last time, and they didn't go to rest after dawn.

Professor Hu also woke up at dawn, and as he got older, he spent less and less time sleeping each day.

"Teacher, you're up! Breakfast is still cooking, I'm going to have to wait a while. Jiang Cheng didn't want to get up so early, but the soldiers of the escort team around him got up one after another, and he was embarrassed to continue sleeping, so he simply got up to help cook.

"It's okay, I'll go for a walk first." Professor Hu waved his hand, he didn't have much appetite when he first got up, he wanted to look around, this northern mountain belly was also his first time, and he just wanted to see what was different from their Yun Province.

As soon as Professor Hu left, two soldiers of the escort team followed him to protect him, after all, it was in the deep mountains, and there were still certain hidden dangers in safety.

"Brother Gu, how long do we expect to walk to Xiganggou?" After Professor Hu came back from a stroll, he happened to see Lao Gu sitting in front of the wooden house smoking a dry tobacco stick, and he couldn't help but care about the rest of the trip.

Lao Gu first took a slow sip of his cigarette, and then took the cigarette stick and knocked on the tree stump next to him, "You can get there by crossing the North Mountain." ”

He didn't answer the specific time, but only roughly replied about the rest of the distance, as for what he meant by Beishan, the estimation of the present was only understood by a few people who had carefully studied the overall road map.

Most people only know that Xiganggou is built in the hinterland of the Three Forks Mountain, in fact, it is sandwiched between the North Mountain and the Small Three Forks of the Three Forks Mountain, and their current location is on the South Mountain, so the only way down is to cross the North Mountain to reach the destination.

In front of the team were a few strong young men wielding woodcutters to open the way, and Lao Gu walked behind a few young men, approaching Professor Hu and his two assistants.

Xia Yanru and Ji Wenlin easily followed the second half of the team, and the two of them discussed their plans after arriving in Xiganggou all the way, and the most important thing was how to move the aborigines of Xiganggou to guide them.

This Xiganggou is not their ultimate goal, the reason why they chose to go to Xiganggou first is also because when they planned this operation, they accidentally found that Xiganggou and Bai Min are inextricably linked.

Xia Yanru deduced from the information in her hand that the aborigines of Xiganggou were likely to be the descendants of Bai Min, and they had just migrated from Bai Min's ancestral land for various reasons, but according to the data, the location of Xiganggou should not be too far away from Bai Min's ancestral land.

"I guess it's hard to move." Ji Wenlin frowned slightly, the more he understood the relationship between Xiganggou and Bai Min, the more he felt that it was extremely difficult to persuade the other party to be their guide.

"Always try." Xia Yanru sighed, in fact, she was very bottomless, but she always had a hint of luck.

"When the time comes, you can find a breakthrough point from Lao Gu, this person should have something to do with Xiganggou." Ji Wenlin thought about it, this way, it was almost certain that normal hunters would not go so deep, but Lao Gu was very familiar with this place, not at all like what the village chief said, because he was chased by a wild boar and came unintentionally.

If he thinks correctly, it is estimated that this old Gu has been here more than once in private, so he is so familiar with this route, especially according to Lao Gu's personality, it is not like he would be willing to be a guide for outsiders, but the other party did not hesitate to get off the work of a guide, maybe it is related to their going to Xiganggou.

"Do you think he will also come from Xiganggou, he has been living in Shiniugou Village, maybe just to prevent someone from wanting to find Xiganggou." Xia Yanru suddenly guessed with a big brain.

"Huh?" Ji Wenlin suddenly paused at his feet, "What did you just say?" ”

"I mean, he" Xia Yanru didn't notice at first, and was about to say it again, but she paused herself as soon as she spoke, "No, if he really has something to do with Xiganggou, he probably won't really want to be our guide." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Yanru was a little startled and broke out in a cold sweat, secretly thinking that they were too inexperienced, thinking that the other party would agree to be a guide, and he would definitely take them to Xiganggou honestly, and she didn't think of any other possibilities at all.

"It seems that we must be very careful about the road ahead." Ji Wenlin was also inspired by Xia Yanru's words just now, and they were only worried about how to persuade the aborigines of Xiganggou to be their guides, but they didn't think that their guide Lao Gu might have bad intentions at the moment.

"Do you want to remind the others?" Xia Yanru asked in a low voice, and after she began to notice that Lao Gu might have some problems, she began to speak in a low voice.

"I'll go find Qian Zhan first, and you and Old Tang should also be reminded of it." Ji Wenlin thought about it for a while, and he still had to tell his own people in advance, although all this was just speculation between him and Xia Yanru, but he was afraid that there would be this eventuality.

After the two made up their minds, they did not leave immediately in a hurry, but followed the team for a while before they naturally separated.

Ji Wenlin's steps are getting slower and slower, he is waiting for Qian Zhan behind the palace, this time the formation is arranged by Qian Zhan, he walked behind the team with two subordinates, in order to ensure the safety of the rear of the team.

"Captain Qian, take a step to speak." Ji Wenlin didn't want to make these speculations known to everyone, but he was afraid that Lao Gu would notice it again.

"Deputy Ji, is something wrong?" Qian Zhanzi knew Ji Wenlin's identity, after all, it was Ji Wenlin who went to the military department to apply for the escort team in person, and the two had a face-to-face meeting when they were in the military department, but they were not familiar with it at that time.

"There may be some problems with the guide this time, but I'm not sure yet, I want to remind you first." Ji Wenlin told the truth.

Qian Zhan's eyes sharpened when he heard this, although he didn't know what the basis for Ji Wenlin's suspicion was, but after all, it was related to the safety of the entire team, even if he had some doubts, he chose to have an idea with Ji Wenlin, that is, he was not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

"I'll keep an eye on it." Qian Zhan also knew that he couldn't let too many people know about this matter, and he naturally believed in his subordinates, but there were other people in this team, and he couldn't give all his trust to outsiders.

Seeing that Qian Zhan understood his intentions, Ji Wenlin didn't stay long, and after chatting with the other party for a few more words, he quickened his pace and rushed to the team in front.

On the other side, Xia Yanru also privately approached Tang Yulou and told him this speculation, in the end, Tang Yulou also instantly understood Xia Yanru's meaning, and even thought about it a lot, but it was the same, he didn't plan to leak it out, but planned to observe it in private for a period of time before deciding.
