That night, they were arranged to live in the staff dormitory, and after the slender man divided the house, he specially instructed them not to run around in the mountains.

Xu Mo had something in his heart, remembered the frozen river, and asked Liu Gan: "You have been here before, do you know where there is a river near Lu Dao?"

"River, what are you looking for the river?" Liu Gan asked casually, and did not point to Xu Mo to answer, but pointed in the direction of the thatched house, "There is a river over there, cross the thatched house we cleaned up in the afternoon, and walk a little way to get there." ”

"I'll go take a look. ”

Xu Mo saw that the sky was not yet completely dark, and he hesitated a little in his heart, so he had a plan. Alone, he walked along the mountain path in the direction of the thatched hut, passed the thatched hut, and then walked forward, about two or three miles, and sure enough, he saw a small river.

The river originates at the top of the mountain, flows into the valley, gathers into a spring, and flows down the mountain. At this time, the weather was cold and frozen.

Xu Mo tried to find the section of the river on the Book of Revelation, and followed the river all the way down the mountain.

On the edge of the river, he saw a few golden scorpions, and also saw the black toad mentioned by those people during the meal, the white spider the size of the palm, and in addition, there was a big silver white centipede that was more than ten centimeters long, with patterns all over its body, and a big praying mantis seven or eight centimeters long.

Xu Mo was awe-inspiring in his heart: Could it be that this place is really a poisonous mountain? On the Book of Revelation, what is the thing that looks like a living thing in the river? Could it be that it is also a poisonous insect? But this poisonous insect, what does it have to do with me? Could it be that I will be accidentally bitten by the poisonous insect in the river?

He speculated wildly, and walked cautiously forward, his eyes fixed on the river, which seemed to be similar everywhere, and everywhere it looked like the one in the Book of Revelation. He didn't have the book with him, and there was no way to compare it at this time, so he had to move on.

It was getting dark, and after a while, he saw a huge courtyard on the edge of the river, enclosed with an iron fence, and there was a street lamp every few steps on the top of the fence and in the yard. Through the fence, you can clearly see the rows of canvas tents.

"Here... Is it also a mountain hotel? Strange, why is it fenced off and equipped with cameras?"

Xu Mo was suspicious, and when he was about to move forward, he suddenly heard a few dogs barking, and five big dogs rushed out of nowhere, surrounded him in the middle, and roared at him in a low voice, as if they were about to pounce at any time.

In a panic, he suddenly heard a person shouting: "Don't bite!"

The momentum of the vicious dog's forward rush suddenly stopped, and then a person came out of the shadows, shone a flashlight on Xu Mo, shook his face, and shouted coldly: "What are you doing?"

Xu Mo was dazzled by the flashlight, and saw that it was just dark. In addition, he was surrounded by five vicious dogs, and his heart was empty, so he had to respond: "I'll go for a walk." ”

"Just go for a walk?" the man repeated coldly, and then asked, "What do you do?"

"I work part-time, and I come here to the mountain lodge to clean up the house. Xu Mo replied honestly.

"Part-time?" The man's tone softened a little, "Part-timer, why do you have to run around?" Without waiting for Xu Mo to answer, "Didn't Xiao Chen tell you?"

Xu Mozheng didn't know how to answer, so the man waved his hand impatiently, "Hurry up, you can't come here, don't come again." ”

As he spoke, he removed the flashlight from Xu Mo's face, but the five vicious dogs did not repulse, still staring at Xu Mo.

Xu Mo rubbed his eyes, and glanced at the five vicious dogs again, the five vicious dogs touched his gaze, grinned again, and let out a few low roars, looking like they were about to pounce, and the person who came out of the tent did not stop.

Xu Mo had no choice but to retreat and return the same way.

After going back, they found that Liu Gan and the others had picked up some firewood from the mountain, and actually built a bonfire in the yard of the staff dormitory, and put the potatoes, yams, and sweet potatoes they found out of nowhere in the fire and roasted them.

Next to the fire, in addition to the five of them, there were two men.

The staff dormitory of the mountain hotel is a bunk bed with three beds, and there are six people in each house, so in Xu Mo's dormitory, in addition to him and Liu Gan, Zhao Hongzhe, and Xu Tao, two more people came in, and the two by the fire.

It's all men, so it's naturally quicker to get acquainted with. These two people, one is called Hou Gui, in his early thirties, a countryman who looks honest, and the other is in his twenties, named Ma Wu, who looks very shrewd, and behaves as if he has practiced some martial arts.

Seeing Xu Mo coming back, everyone smiled and beckoned him over.

Xu Mo walked for a long time, his clothes were thin, and he was already very cold, squatting by the fire, he suddenly felt warm, picked up a wooden stick, flicked it in the fire, and asked with a smile: "Where did you find these yams and potatoes?"

Su Yan replied first: "Brother Hou took us to dig in the mountains?"

Xu Mo let out an 'oh' and glanced at Hou Gui.

Hou Gui rubbed his hands and smiled innocently: "It's all wild things, it's nothing." I'm from the countryside, and my home is next to the mountain, so I'm more experienced in looking for this kind of thing. If it's not late, you can set a trap or something, catch pheasants and turtledoves and roast them. ”

Su Yan was extremely interested in these things, and hurriedly said, "I don't have time tonight, but I can try it tomorrow." ”

Ma Wu took out a box of cigarettes from his body, which was a box of silver and white sand for ten yuan, and gave Xu Mo a concession, "Smoking." ”

Xu Mo shook his hand, "Don't, Xie Luxie." "He didn't have a habit of smoking, and he recently caught a cold, so naturally he doesn't know how to smoke.

Ma Wu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's a good thing not to smoke, and I rarely smoke, the reason why I take it with me is mainly to make people." ”

then threw one to Hou Gui, and then to Zhao Hongzhe, Xu Tao also didn't smoke, Guo Xia took the initiative to ask for one, and when Liu Qian, he waved his hand, "No, it's the same." ”

As he spoke, he took out a box of cigarettes from his body, which was the same silver and white sand as Ma Wu.

Ma Wu smiled and said, "Taste mine first." Still threw a cigarette over, Liu Gan took it in his hand, took it from the fire and lit it, and smoked it.

Then everyone chatted and bragged, said some inconsequential words, shared food, and when it was late and the firewood was burned, they dispersed and went back to their rooms to sleep.

There was heating in the dormitory, so this night, Xu Mo slept very sweetly, and the matter of breathing quietly was completely forgotten.

After breakfast the next day, I continued yesterday's task and cleaned up the thatched huts.

At about ten o'clock, they packed up another room and came out, and when they went to the square with a cart to pull beds and make furniture, they suddenly heard the sound of the engine, and a red car drove into the square.

Xu Mo couldn't help but turn his head to look.

The driver's door opened, and a man in a black suit walked out, stretched out his hand to point at them, and said in a commanding tone, "You guys, come here." ”

Then came the voice of a young woman in the car, "Two people are enough." The voice is very good, but it has a bit of a lazy commanding atmosphere, and it is obvious that he is used to giving orders.

The man in the suit immediately changed his words, "Two people." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the other side of the car, opened the rear door, and put his arm on the door frame to prevent the occupants of the car from accidentally hitting their heads when they came out.

A young girl in red clothes walked out with her head down, handed the red kun bag in her hand to the man in the suit, looked up at the distant mountains, and nodded approvingly, "The environment of this place is not bad!"

The girl was only eighteen or nineteen years old, with a thin waist and long legs, a long body, and a pair of high heels on her feet.

Her appearance is extremely beautiful, looking at the past from Xu Mo's place, although she is far away, she also feels indescribably exquisite. The gorgeous red dress, lining herself, was like a white cloud wrapped in a red cloud.

The man in the suit stretched out his hand to take the kun bag she handed over, and said flatteringly: "The old man knows that Miss Lu Dao is coming here for a vacation, so she deliberately renovated it in advance." ”

"Hehe!" the girl glanced at him, "you can talk." ”

The man in the suit looked at Xu Mo and them again, and said unhappily: "Why haven't you come yet, your ears are deaf, didn't you hear what I said?"

There was a clear tone of reproach in the words.

The girl in red looked up the hill again and said to the man in the suit, "I'll go up first, and you let someone bring my luggage up." ”

Without looking at Xu Mo and them, he walked towards the mountain, and when he passed by Xu Mo, he brought a fragrant wind.

At this time, I was close, and I happened to see the girl's side face, but I was forced by her complexion, and I couldn't see what she looked like, only to see her long eyelashes flickering a few times, Xu Mo couldn't help but jump in his heart.

Su Yan stared at the girl and said like a nymphomaniac: "It's so beautiful!"

When the girl heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, glanced at her, and immediately turned her face away, but her expression was a little more proud, and she walked forward with her head held high.

The man in the suit chased the girl over, and when he passed by them, he pointed at Liu Gan casually and said coldly: "You guys, send the luggage in the trunk to the villa area on the mountain." ”

Liu Qian glanced at the girl's back, reluctantly turned his head, and whispered to Xu Mo: "It's Shen Bancheng's daughter and her bodyguard, let's go over and have a look." ”

"It's good. Xu Mo nodded in response.

Zhao Hongzhe and Xu Tao were still staring, Guo Xia angrily reached out and pinched their arms a few times, and said hatefully: "What do you see, two dead ghosts, what do you see?"

"When you see a beautiful woman, of course, you have to take a second look. Zhao Hongzhe said disappreciatively.

Xu Tao continued: "Don't you see Brother Qian, Brother Mo, and Sister Su are all watching? ”

"Bah!" Guo Xia's eyes widened, "The old lady is ugly? The old lady is ugly, you two flies still want to stick it over?"

Xu Tao muttered softly, "Didn't you find a better one?"

Guo Xia sneered: "It's better? Don't pee and take care of yourself, what kind of virtue is it? Like this just now, can you take a fancy to turtle eggs like you?"

This sentence scolded Xu Mo and Liu Gan as well.
