J City, G Province, the largest coal mine production base in the country, Lin Hua and Su Yongnan's trip to the end of the trip X County is located on the east side of J City, is one of the five counties under the jurisdiction of J City. After getting off the plane, Lin Hua and Su Yongnan dragged their tired bodies to the Blue Sky Hotel, the closest to the airport.

In room 203 of the Blue Sky Hotel, Lin Hua looked at the tired Su Yongnan and asked, "Yongnan, how do you feel?" If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me that the altitude of Province G is higher than that of Province L, and the air pressure is very high, and I am afraid that you will not be able to stand it. ”

"I'm fine, when I was studying in the UK, I often climbed mountains with my classmates abroad, and I have long been adapted to the high-altitude terrain. You, on the other hand, have already begun to suffer from altitude sickness. I suggest that you rest in J City for a few days and then go to X County after you get used to the high altitude. ”

Su Yongnan's worries were not unreasonable, he knew in his heart that Lin Hua was a native of L Province and had never been to such a high altitude place. If Lin Hua rashly went to X County before adapting to the high altitude of J City, he would inevitably have altitude sickness.

Lin Hua looked at Su Yongnan and said embarrassedly: "I know that I can't hide anything from your eyes, the air pressure in Province G is too high, and I am not very comfortable when I get off the plane, what you said makes sense, let's rest here for a few days first, and then we will set off for X County after I fully adapt to the high pressure in J City." ”

"Lin Hua, I still think of one thing, and it is a very important thing, we two outsiders are not familiar with the environment here, if only the two of us go, I am afraid that we will not be able to deal with emergencies, you know, X County is known by the outside world as the forbidden area of life, the grave of scientists. Why don't we find a local to guide us, so that we can take care of us in case of any emergency. ”

Lin Hua shook his head and said, "I actually thought of the question you said, we should find a guide to show us the way, but where should we find a guide?" Today, X County has long been an empty city, and residents who are familiar with the environment have moved away from X County. It's too hard to find someone who is familiar with the environment. ”

"Don't be discouraged first, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there are more ways than difficulties. Another important thing, Dr. Lin, shouldn't we go get something to eat, I'm so hungry, my stomach started rumbling after I got off the plane. ”

"I'm sorry Yongnan, I was negligent, my mind is full of work, you can order whatever you want to eat today."

Su Yongnan, who heard these three words casually, smiled evilly and said: "This is what you said, don't go back, I saw an advertisement for a food city on the billboard at the airport, let's go to that food city to eat." ”

"Listen to you, I'm only responsible for checking out today, and you can arrange the rest."

Out of the hotel two stopped a three-wheeled motorcycle on the side of the road, in that era of underdeveloped traffic, the three-wheeled motorcycle that can be seen everywhere on the street has become one of the necessary means of transportation for people's daily travel, along the way, the driver of the motorcycle enthusiastically told Lin Hua and Su Yongnan about the customs of J city.

Listening to the driver's story, Lin Hua suddenly asked, "Master, do you know County X?" ”

"Of course I know, X County was originally the cash cow of our J City, where the rich mineral deposits feed more than half of our J City, if it weren't for the harsh environment and not suitable for human habitation for a long time, the current X County will definitely be more prosperous than before."

"That's the master, we are researchers at the L Provincial Research Institute, and the purpose of our visit to J City this time is to go to X County for field investigation, can you be our guide? We'll pay you."

Listening to Lin Hua's request to invite him to be a guide, the driver of the motorcycle shook his head and said: "Young man, it's not that I don't help you, I still have a wife and children to support at home, you outsiders don't understand the danger of X County, I advise you to break off the idea of going to X County as soon as possible, since X County has become an empty city, many of our domestic and foreign scientific research expedition teams have been to X County for investigation, but I heard that those members of the scientific research team will get a strange disease after coming out of X County, and those with mild symptoms will be hospitalized for treatment. Those with severe symptoms may even take their lives. I see that you are all still young, and it is not worth your life to risk your scientific research projects. ”

"Well, since the master doesn't want to, we won't force it."

Su Yongnan listened to the words of the motorist's driver and said a little provocatively: "Isn't there a person with courage in this huge J city?" ”

"Young man, when you say this, I suddenly remembered that there is a person who can be your guide, his name is Bart, a native of J County, he has led scientific research expeditions into J County many times, and I think you can ask him to be your guide. It's just that this kid has a weird temper, so you have to be mentally prepared. ”

As soon as he heard that someone could be a guide with them, Lin Hua hurriedly asked, "Master, where is this Bart you are talking about?" Can you take us to him? ”

"Of course, aren't you going to the food city? In addition to taking the scientific research expedition team in and out of J City, Bart also runs a barbecue restaurant called "Tianya" in the food city, where you can go to find him. ”

The food city is not very far from the hotel where Lin Hua and the others stayed, and after a while, the driver of the motorcycle took the two to the "Tianya" barbecue restaurant run by Bart.

"All right, young man, go in, this is Bart's barbecue, and the big man who is roasting meat is Bart, good luck to you."

The two of them, who said goodbye to the driver of the motorcycle, walked straight into the barbecue restaurant, only to see a strong man with a height of 1.9 meters holding a handful of worn meat skewers in his hand, constantly flipping back and forth in the red-hot charcoal fire.

Just as Lin Hua was about to step forward to ask the strong man, Su Yongnan on the side pulled Lin Hua's clothes and said: "Didn't the driver of Gangmo say it, this Bart has a strange temper, I think we should not mention the matter of inviting him to be a guide first, and observe him first." ”

"Yongnan, what you said makes sense, let's take a look first."

Bart, who was standing in front of the stove to barbecue, took the initiative to greet Lin Hua and the others when he saw Lin Hua and the others: "Hello two distinguished guests, I am Bart, the owner of this shop, is there anything I can serve you?" ”

Looking at the enthusiastic Bart, Lin Hua also said enthusiastically: "Hello, Boss Bart, my friend and I are from L Province, I heard that your barbecue here is good, we came here to taste it." ”

"Two guests, you have caught up, I have the little lamb that I just killed today, the meat is tender and delicious, plus my Bart's ancestral seasoning, it is a perfect match, you have a good day today."

Listening to Bart's introduction, Su Yongnan swallowed his saliva and said: "Just listen to Boss Bart, give us twenty yuan of barbecue first, and then two bottles of beer." ”

"Two guests, please wait, the barbecue will be here soon."

"Yongnam, I don't think this Bart is the kind of person with a strange temper."

"I don't know, don't care so much for now, let's fill my stomach first."

After a while, Bart brought the roasted meat to Lin Hua and the others.

"Two guests, you taste it, I dare to say that my barbecue is the most authentic in the whole city."

Su Yongnan glanced at Lin Hua and said, "Boss Bart, I see that there is no one in your shop, you can also sit down and eat with us." ”

Lin Hua of the Heart Spirit Association also said: "Yes, Boss Bart, I just arrived in J City, and I don't know each other well, so we still want to know about this city with you." ”

In the face of the warm invitation of the two, Bart said embarrassedly: "Okay, then I'll eat with the two of you, if you have any questions, just ask me, I'm a native of J City, and there is no place I don't know." ”

Lin Hua picked up a skewer of barbecue and asked while eating, "Boss Bart, do you know County X?" ”

"Don't hide it from the two of you, I am from X County, I grew up in X County since I was a child, if it weren't for the fact that X County is not suitable for human survival, maybe I would still be riding a horse at the foot of Yin Mountain to graze. Why do you suddenly ask this, X County is already an empty city, if you want to travel, I recommend you to go to S County, which is the closest to J City, where the original scenery is rare in the world. ”

Looking at the upright man in front of him, Lin Hua also decided not to hide it anymore, and said bluntly: "Boss Bart, that's the case, we are not here for tourism, we are researchers from the L Province Research Institute, the purpose of coming to J City this time is to go to X County for investigation, I heard that you have led the scientific research expedition team into X County many times, we would like to invite you to be our guide." ”

Bart, who suddenly came to his senses, said: "So that's the case, I thought you were here to travel, and you wanted to go to X County for a long time to investigate." In that case, why don't you just explain your intentions? ”

Listening to Bart's questioning, Su Yongnan, who was full of oil, said: "I'm sorry, Boss Bart, we heard that you have a bit of a strange temper, so we want to observe you first, don't take it to heart, I salute you." ”

With that, Su Yongnan drank all the beer in the cup.

"This brother is massive, and I, Bart, like to deal with bold people the most," said Bart, who drank the beer from his glass.

"Two brothers, you don't know, there is a Yin Mountain in X County, about 3,000 meters above sea level, our ancestors have been grazing at the foot of Yin Mountain for generations, since X County was found to have a lot of resources, it has attracted countless investors, these investors are some black-hearted businessmen, dare to do anything in order to make money, this is how our home was destroyed. I have a bit of a strange temper, there have been many businessmen who have offered me a high price to be a tour guide and I have refused, I know that their purpose is to make money from mining minerals, so I am not willing to lead the way for them, I only lead the way for good people, this is my principle. ”

Lin Hua asked jokingly: "Brother Bart, then you don't look like good people." ”

Bart nodded and smiled, "If you weren't good people, Bart wouldn't have drunk with you." To tell you the truth, when I was young, my aunt was seriously ill, fortunately, there was a scientific research expedition team in X county at that time, and it was the doctor of the expedition team who saved my aunt's life, you are all good people, I believe that you are different from those black-hearted businessmen, and I have only led the way for the scientific research expedition team in recent years. ”

Lin Hua looked at the smiling Bart and said: "Brother Bart, thank you for your trust, to tell you the truth, the material we came to find this time can save thousands of terminally ill patients, and if our experiment is successful, there will be countless terminally ill people who will be reborn." ”

Bart scratched his head and said, "I don't understand what you are saying, since you can save so many lives and prove that your research is for the benefit of society, I am willing to lead the way for you." ”

Su Yongnan picked up the wine glass in his hand and said, "Brother Bart, I will toast you again, then we will make up our minds, and we will wait for you at the Blue Sky Hotel near the airport in three days." ”
