"I guess so," the driver said enthusiastically, "You guys are here for a trip, where are you going?"
"We want to go to Taibai Mountain to see it."
As Wu Xiaoxie said this, he took the candy handed to him by Zhang Zhuxun, tore open the bag and stuffed it into his mouth, immediately grinning with soreness.
Zhang Shuxun curled his lips silently, "Anti-vertigo magic candy."
Wu Xiaoxie waved his fist with a puffed face, but he still didn't spit it out.
When the driver heard that he was going to Taibai Mountain, he quickly recommended himself: "You can't go out without a tour guide. It's easy to get lost in the mountains with twists and turns. Do you want me to show you a section? I live here. The village on the edge of the reserve is just over two hills."
Wu Xiaoxie wanted to refuse when he heard this.
Zhang Shuxun patted his arm, smiled and said to the driver: "Fellow, please lead us the way."
Wu Xiaoxie disagreed a little, and leaned closer to Zhang Zhuo's ear, "It's not necessary, Lao Itch said he remembers the way."
Zhang Zhuoxun glanced at Lao Chi who was looking out the window to see the scenery, and lowered his voice, "How do you know he won't remember the wrong way and lead us into a ditch? It's convenient to have a familiar passerby. Don't worry, I'll pay for it."
Wu Xiaoxie glared and cursed in a low voice, "Is this what my mother-in-law meant? How much money are you burning?"
Zhang Zhuoxun smiled and stuffed a lemon candy into his hand, "That's right."
Wu Xiaoxie took a deep breath and said, "I won't eat this flavor."
"Then you choose." Zhang Zhuoxun spread his palms smoothly.
Wu Xiaoxie grunted and grabbed the only two toffee inside.
The fellow took the three people to a small farmhouse hotel.
Zhang Zhuoxun went to tell the proprietress about the food he wanted to eat later, and asked her to prepare it and deliver it directly to him, adding money.
When they returned upstairs, they saw Wu Xiaoxie and Lao Itch standing by the window with a small crack open, whispering something mysteriously.
Seeing Zhang Shuxun coming up, Wu Xiaoxie waved to him quickly, "Muyu, come quickly and take a look."
"What's wrong?" Zhang Zhuxun walked over.
Wu Xiaoxie pointed to the cars that had just stopped below and said, "Look at those cars, do they have foreign license plates and model colors that are similar to those parked outside the food stall before?"
Zhang Zhuoxun looked over, and the person in the car just opened the door and came out. He raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's true."
Lao Itch looked flustered and stammered: "He, they are following me, us."
"Probably not." Zhang Zhuxun shook his head, "Don't forget that their goal may be the same as ours, they are all heading for the ancient tomb."
"Then, what should we do?" Old Itch asked.
Wu Xiaoxie was also a little worried.
"It's okay." Zhang Zhuxun patted Wu Xiaoxie's shoulder reassuringly, "Let's try not to go out and avoid running into them. They have many people and complete equipment. When the time comes, we will follow them directly and let them stay. Help us explore the way ahead."
Wu Xiaoxie and Lao Itch both had evil smiles on their faces.
After dinner, the three of them chatted for a while, and then went to rest separately.
At three o'clock in the morning, Zhang Shuxun, who was lying in bed, opened his eyes suddenly, got out of bed quietly and walked to the door, leaned his ear against the door panel and listened quietly for a while, when a short knife appeared in his palm.
The door lock made a very slight turning sound.
Zhang Zhuxun took two steps back and waited quietly for the mouse outside the door to fall into the trap.
【Host beware】
The system suddenly sounded a reminder.
Sure enough it was him.
Zhang Zhuxun raised the corners of his mouth, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
There was a clang, something fell to the ground, and the movement outside the door stopped for a moment.
Zhang Zhuxun could imagine that the other party was leaning on the door, listening carefully to what was going on inside.
Ten seconds later, as if he sensed danger, the rustling sounds outside the door started again, and the footsteps deliberately slowed down and accelerated away.
Zhang Zhuxun's eyes narrowed, he grabbed the handle and quickly opened the door, only to see a black figure flashing past the corner of the corridor.
Looking down at the ground, there was a half-length special iron hook lying quietly on the ground at the door.
With a sneer, Zhang Zhuoxun knelt down and picked up the hook, went back to the house, closed the door, closed the plug, threw the hook on the table, turned around, went back to the bed, lay down, and closed his eyes.
[System, my hearing seems to have improved a lot. ]
【Auxiliary function for night vision】
[Yo] Zhang Zhuoxun laughed and said, [You are so considerate. ]
The system responded with a polite and elegant smile [You're welcome]
The three of them got up early the next day.
Wu Xiaoxie nestled by the window, chewing the meat buns in his hand and staring at those people's cars.
Lao Itchi came and wandered around for a while and saw that there was no movement, so he said he would go back and catch up on his sleep.
Zhang Zhuxun came out after washing and glanced at the table. The hook was gone.
He didn't say anything and just pretended not to know.
It wasn't until noon that the group finished eating and left the farmhouse carrying their equipment.
Zhang Zhuxun and the other two people also hurriedly checked out of the room and followed them after they walked away.
After following them until midnight, the group finally stopped and seemed to be setting up camp to rest.
Wu Xiaoxie collapsed on the ground, sighing and rubbing his legs, "It's really going to kill me. Those people are so capable of leaving."
Zhang Zhuxun laughed at him, "That's not going to work, little comrade Tianzhen. It's normal to travel across mountains and rivers in our industry. I told you before that I would give you time to exercise so that you would suffer less. But you just didn't listen and were too lazy to move. You must be suffering now."
"Stop being such a bitch and making sarcastic remarks." Wu Xiaoxie smiled bitterly and leaned against the tree trunk, not wanting to move.
Zhang Zhuxun threw him a small bag of individually wrapped snacks to fill his stomach first.
Then he took out three boxes of self-heating rice from the backpack (space) and threw one box to Lao Itch.
Pour some water on yourself and Wu Xiaoxie and put them aside.
They were less than ten meters away from the group, so it was impossible for a fire to start. Fortunately, Zhang Zhuxun had anticipated this situation and prepared waterproof military boots and jackets for him and Wu Xiaoxie. They were also waterproof. Still bearable.
Compared to them, Lao Itch was in a much worse condition. His clothes and shoes were all wet from the mist, and he couldn't make a fire to dry them out, so he huddled up in the cold.
Lao Itch cursed, "We, if we continue like this, no, we can't."
"How about, how about we sneak over and listen to what they are saying? W-what if we can find some clues, right?"
Wu Xiaoxie felt that what he said made sense.
After finishing the meal, the three of them walked toward their campfire furtively.
Tiptoeing closer, Zhang Zhuxun stretched out his hand to grab Wu Xiaoxie and motioned for him to squat down. It would be enough just here. If he got closer, his position might be exposed.
It was quiet in the mountains, and those people spoke loudly, so you could hear the content clearly.
What surprised Wu Xiaoxie and Wu Xiaoxie was that there were two Cantonese people inside.
I just listened to them talking nonsense for a while, and one of them, Uncle Tai, said that it would still be at least three days away.
Lao Itch muttered in a depressed voice, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have followed. Damn it."
Wu Xiaoxie quickly glared at him to silence him.
