Half an hour later, in a small teahouse in Nancheng District of Honeysuckle City.
Cheng Youquan, Wang Zinan, and Liu Hai were looking around, expecting that person to arrive.
They now feel like they are making a movie.
I and others were like the protagonists in a movie. In order to seek the legendary opportunity, they contacted a magical guide and formed an expedition team to head towards the unknown fairy mountain.
They even thought of the code name for their and others' operation, which was called "Xunxian".
Several people were looking around nervously at this time, as if everyone nearby might be coming to arrest them.
This feeling is extremely exciting, making these students who have not yet walked out of the school gate excited and their hearts beating fast.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a beard and a slightly fat figure opened the door of the teahouse, looked around, and walked straight towards them.
"Gray hat, red down jacket, you are Wang Zinan, right?"
After the man came over, he greeted the boy with glasses.
The three of them were slightly shocked when they saw his arrival.
It's not that this middle-aged uncle is handsome, on the contrary, this slightly fat man has an ordinary appearance and looks like just an ordinary passerby.
"Yes, yes...are you...'Blue Sea Breeze'?"
Wang Zinan asked with some uncertainty.
He was talking about the other party's online name, and the two had made an appointment to meet here, and they would discuss the details in person.
But the other party's appearance was a bit beyond his expectation.
In his original vision, the guide should be a tough guy wearing a hood, sunglasses and eight-pack abs.
Just like in many Hollywood movies, it is mysterious and professional.
However, after seeing the real person, all the original imagination was shattered. The man in front of me was just a middle-aged uncle who was a little fat. In movies and TV series, he could only be the most ordinary passerby.
The two friends on the side were slightly disappointed when they saw this. Their thoughts were actually similar to Wang Zinan's. They all had some illusions about this mysterious guide at the beginning.
Not knowing what the young men were thinking, the middle-aged man sat down and drank the green tea on the table without any courtesy.
"Well, there are some things we can't talk about online, so we made an appointment to talk here. How about it, are there just three of you this time? How long will we go? When will we go?"
The man went directly to the topic, and then added:
"Oh, just call me Lao Chen. Don't worry, I'm an experienced driver. I've also been to the Fairy Mountain over there twice. I'm familiar with driving and driving, and safety is guaranteed."
Several teenagers were slightly stunned when they heard this, and then Wang Zinan reacted first and said:
"Chen, hello, Master Chen. There are only three of us this time. If possible... we want to go there as soon as possible... As for how many days..."
He said and looked at the two friends beside him, as if asking what they meant.
When the middle-aged man Lao Chen saw their appearance, he had an idea.
It seems that these guys, like the previous ones, will get over it as soon as their minds are hot, and they don't have any specific time plan.
But this is not a problem for him. Anyway, he only needs to be responsible for collecting money. As for whether these people can find any results in the past, he doesn't care.
"I think it seems like it's your first time here. So, based on my previous two experiences, it's about twenty kilometers from here. But we have to take the rural roads, so the distance will be a little longer, maybe more. It's like five or six kilometers, so I'll count you twenty-five."
"Because it is a small road, it is not convenient to walk. It requires more time. In addition to the time you spend exploring before and after, I think it will take at least a whole day, so I suggest you start tomorrow morning so that you can get there before dark. Come back quickly."
"The last thing, of course, is the cost. This road is all rural fields, the road is very difficult to walk on, and it's very serious wear and tear on my car, so the price is a little higher. For the three of you, it's only 9,000. Originally, I They all charge 10,000 yuan, but I see that you are young, so I’ll give you a cheaper price.”
Lao Chen finished speaking in one breath. In the end, the three teenagers felt that they had forgotten everything else, only the 9,000 yuan was extremely harsh.
"So expensive!?"
Cheng Youquan was the first to call out, staring at him as if he was robbing someone.
"Aren't we just going to a suburb? Why do we need so much money? 9,000 yuan is enough for the three of us to fly to the United States. You are robbing me!"
Old Chen was not happy when he heard this and said:
"What nonsense are you talking about? What is robbery? Do you think I'm asking for it from you? Go and ask, which car going to Xianshan now doesn't start at 10,000? I'll lower it to 9,000 for you, already because of your young age. It’s a bargain if you don’t go, don’t waste my time, there are still many people over there who have to go.”
He said this, but he had no intention of leaving at all, as if he had already taken care of this group of people.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Wang Zinan said:
"I'm sorry, Master Chen. The price is actually a bit beyond our expectations. Isn't 9,000 yuan too much? As you can see, we are all students and we really can't raise so much money."
Old Chen tapped his fingers on the table, pretending to think for a while, then sighed and said:
"Forget it, forget it, you little guy sounds much nicer. Let's do this. I'll give you another 1,000 or 8,000 yuan. This is the lowest price. It can't be lower."
"this……"
Wang Zinan was hesitant. Just as the two companions on the side were about to speak, they heard Lao Chen on the other side say again:
"Actually, I'm not trying to embarrass you. This 8,000 yuan is really not much."
"You think it's just a simple run of more than 20 kilometers and it's over? You don't even think about it. Now the intersections outside are closed, and the Fairy Mountain side is closed to traffic."
"Why did I ask you to meet here? Didn't you say it online? Isn't it because I'm not allowed to go there?"
"I'm talking to you today and taking you here, I'm taking a big risk, okay? If I'm found out, I might be arrested, so the current market price is basically at this price. It’s really not me trying to trick you.”
Lao Chen said with a serious expression, and the expressions of the three young men who listened gradually softened, and they all seemed to secretly agree with his words.
"Besides, you want to go to the Immortal Mountain and find opportunities. How can you do this without spending money? In ancient times, look at how much the emperor spent to find the Immortal. You only have 8,000 yuan. What about the Immortal Mountain? We are right in front of us, do we have to throw away this opportunity for this little money?"
"Besides, there are rumors that there are many monsters and beasts over there in the Fairy Mountain. I took you there, and I took a big risk on my life. If you look for someone else, not only will the price be more expensive, but they may not be as good as me." I have experience. I have been to that route twice and never encountered any danger, so you should think carefully."
As soon as his words came out, they were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely convincing several people.
Especially the sentence at the beginning, the fairyland is right in front of you. Do you really want to throw away this opportunity for this little money?
These words were like torture from the soul, causing the three teenagers to wake up instantly.
Yes, eight thousand yuan is nothing. Isn’t it just the price of a more expensive fruit phone?
Besides, now that all the rich people have switched to Fanxing mobile phones, who is still using that one?
Besides, I didn’t just pay out 8,000 yuan by myself. If it was divided among three people, it would come down to everyone. Even 3,000 yuan was not even available. They could still come up with this amount of money without gritting their teeth.
Several people talked with each other for a while, and finally made up their minds and prepared to make a gamble with all their strength.
The extraordinary power is right in front of them. If they just give up and go back, they may regret it for the rest of their lives.
Among them, only Liu Hai was still hesitant. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know whether he should speak or not.
On the side, Wang Zinan had already spoken first. He asked Lao Chen:
"Well, Master Chen, I wonder if the two groups of people you met earlier found any...immortal fate...?"
He was very nervous and conflicted when he said these words.
On the one hand, I don't want those people to find any opportunities first. In addition to the jealousy in my heart, I am also afraid that the other party will get something good first, leaving me empty-handed.
On the other hand, he actually hoped that those people would gain something.
After all, this means that there is really something there. If you wait for others to go there, you will have more opportunities.
These two ideas are somewhat contradictory, but they are a true reflection of Wang Zinan's heart. The two companions on the side are also very confused.
Old Chen naturally knew the purpose of his question, but as an experienced driver, he naturally knew how to answer.
"To be honest, everyone wants opportunities, but I also have principles. If I send you there, I will never go into the mountains with you to share the opportunity."
"And I said the ugly thing up front. Even if you want to get off the car, you can't go too far. You can only move around on the roadside. That's what the previous few people were like. They seem to have found something mysterious and mysterious. Don’t let me see it.”
The situations he mentioned were naturally made up.
If you don't let him see anything strange, it just doesn't happen.
After a few people passed by, they actually sat in the car and walked around in the wild. At most, they just opened the door to get some air, but they didn't let them stay away from themselves at all.
After all, Lao Chen is also afraid. The situation there is so special. Although he has never seen it himself, many colleagues have said that they did see some strange-looking wild animals.
In such a dangerous environment, how could he dare to let these people mess up?
If something happened, it would be him who would be unlucky in the end.
However, the three teenagers obviously did not pay attention to anything dangerous or not. They all focused on the last words spoken by the other party.
Sure enough there is something!
The three of them looked at each other, excitement written on their faces.
When Lao Chen saw their appearance, he was secretly proud.
"Haha, students are just students, they are still too naive."
…
After giving a deposit of 1,000 yuan, they returned to the hotel room.
There was still an afternoon and an evening to spend, which made them feel that time was passing too slowly, and they wished they could reach out and grab it.
"Wang Zinan, do you think it's really appropriate for us to go there like this? Eight thousand yuan is not a small amount of money. How about we rent a battery car and ride there by ourselves?"
In the room, Liu Hai said to his little friend with a troubled expression.
On the side, before Wang Zinan could speak, Cheng Youquan, who was most resistant at the beginning, spoke first:
"Old Liu, I have actually thought about the problem you mentioned. To be honest, although eight thousand yuan is a bit much, it is stable."
"You want to borrow a battery car now. We are unfamiliar with the place. Where can you borrow it? If you ride a shared car, you won't be able to ride in the countryside."
"And if you think about it, you can't even find the navigation around that place now. How can we find it if we ride a battery-powered scooter and our eyes are completely dark?"
"Although eight thousand yuan is a bit too much, it can ensure that we reach our destination. This is the most important thing!"
Wang Zinan also echoed:
"Yes, I asked just now. Lao Chen's car is an off-road vehicle, and it is relatively easy to drive on this kind of road. If we really encounter any wild beasts, there will be no danger if we hide in the car. .”
He seemed to have thought a little more, at least he had not forgotten the risks of this trip.
Liu Hai finally calmed down under the persuasion of his two companions and began to look forward to tomorrow's journey.
"Okay, okay, we have paid the deposit now. There is no point in saying this. Let's think about it quickly and see if there is anything we need to buy. We can go to the supermarket to buy some now."
…
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Not only Liu Hai and the others, there were also many people in other hotels who, like a few people, were too excited to sleep.
In the past few days, many locals who work full-time as drivers have gradually discovered this new business opportunity.
Those who are timid will naturally stay away and dare not touch them.
But there are always some bold guys in the world, especially with the temptation of such benefits. They only need to drive dozens of kilometers to easily earn tens of thousands of dollars. It is naturally difficult for people to refuse such a good thing. .
However, these drivers are not stupid. In order to prevent things like killing people, they just drive over and wander around the fairy mountain for a few times, and then take people back.
Although some bosses will be unhappy, most people actually lose the courage to get out of the car after seeing some wild beasts, and even actively ask them to turn back.
For a time, there was a wave of fairy mountain adventure here in Honeysuckle Market.
