Chapter 16 Departure and Xiao Chengqian's Phone Call
Before we set off, Jiang Yi really sent two entourages, named Tao Bai and Lu Shan.
It's a very ordinary name, and the person is also very ordinary, and the appearance has no characteristics, it belongs to the kind that can't be found if you are lost in the crowd, and the two of them are very silent, and they feel that there is a kind of old-fashioned and mechanical way of talking and doing things.
No one would have thought that their identities were so special, or that this was even more confusing.
For such an arrangement, we have no room for objection, but it does not mean that we have no way to deal with it, the first step of the lake trip, we deliberately picked some more irrelevant lakes, in order to confuse Jiang Yi.
However, that famous pond is also in the Thirteen Lakes left by the ancestors.
We flew to the north and traveled twice until we reached the foot of the famous mountain.
After a night's rest without a word, the next day we started to climb the famous mountain, which has been developed as a tourist attraction and the way up is easy and leads directly to the pool.
It was easy, but for us men, it wasn't easy, because we were carrying a lot of luggage, including two complete sets of diving equipment, and fortunately, we rented two horses to help us carry the oxygen tank, otherwise even if we were physically strong, we would have to lie down the mountain.
Compared with the fatigue of the men, the three girls were relaxed, carrying almost negligible luggage, looking at the magnificent scenery along the way, talking and laughing along the way, not to mention how comfortable it was.
Starting in the morning, halfway up the mountain, it was already noon, so we simply found a random place to prepare for lunch, plus a little rest.
Since the time of the action was set in the evening, we were not in a hurry at all, but the content of the lunch was boring, all of which were convenience food, which made me a little nostalgic for the game that Lao Zhang made in the old forest.
"Chengyi, I've heard that there have been a lot of magical rumors in this pool, I hope we have a harvest this time." At meal time, Brother Chengxin's mouth was idle, and he chatted with me while eating.
At that time, although the Internet had appeared, it was not like today, it was an era of information explosion, so some rumors were only circulated in the local area, and occasionally some newspapers and magazines would publish a little bit of speculation, even if it was a way to circulate.
Because he is coming here, Brother Chengxin has collected a lot of information about this place, and the more he looks at it, the more he shouts magic, because from many sources, many people say that they have witnessed the so-called 'water monster' in the pool.
However, because it is a folk rumor, this cannot be used as evidence, but Brother Chengxin, who has read too much information, has already gone a little crazy, and he can't wait to solve the mystery of the water monster immediately, so he mentions it from time to time.
In the face of Brother Chengxin's fanaticism, Ruyue was already a little speechless, and she said to Brother Chengxin: "Then you want to see the water monster?" Do you want me to summon you from the stockade and show you? β
There is a guardian Jiao in Yueyan Miao Village, this is not a secret to us, Tao Bai and Lu Shan are the people of the department, Jiang Yi's cronies are probably also aware of these information, so Ruyue has no scruples when he says it.
Brother Chengxin ignored Ruyue's snatching of white, threw away a very boring look, and began to nibble on his bread again, the atmosphere was a little silent for a while, but he didn't want to be at this time, Lu Shan, who had always been silent, spoke: "Chen Chengyi, you have to remember that the action must be after 11 o'clock in the evening, that pool is in a special situation, it belongs to the border between the two countries, and about half of it belongs to other countries, although the action has the support of the department, but we still don't want to be caught with any handle." β
We feel constrained by their presence, but we must be mindful of their words.
So, for Lu Shan's words, I don't have the slightest doubt at all, I nodded very simply, I must admit that with the help of the department, everything is going well, even the diving equipment has already helped us prepare for the forest farm under the mountain, in addition to the department has this ability, how dare I imagine?
Not to mention, you can dive down and find out what this kind of thing is! It would not have been possible without the support of the department.
However, I also thought of a possibility, there are so many rumors about this pool, I'm afraid that the department has already sent someone to investigate, so what else will we gain?
Thinking of this, I looked up and asked Lu Shan: "Have you also explored this pool?" What's the catch? β
My question is very direct, and the best way to deal with this kind of silent person is to be direct, lest he use silence to directly ignore the problem of your clichΓ©, which will not work.
I didn't expect Lu Shan to answer me, but I didn't want him to do it simply, so I said directly: "I have been probed several times, but the result is nothing, Minister Jiang said, maybe you will gain something this time." β
We've come to get something? What's the odd thing? I didn't understand what Jiang Yi meant, but I couldn't help but be disappointed, from Lu Shan's answer, I felt that this time the action, there would be a great possibility of gain.
But I didn't want to be at this time, but my phone rang, this phone is not my personal number, but in order to ensure that the contact will not be interrupted, Jiang Yi assigned us a special number, I really can't think of anyone, who will call my phone at this time.
This sudden phone call not only made me wonder, but also made everyone wonder, guessing that it was useless, and I simply picked up the phone.
I just said 'hey', but a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, and the content of the speech was so straight to the point.
"Chengyi, in Changbai Mountain?"
It's Xiao Chengqian!
I was stunned at the time, in fact, Brother Chengxin and I had already known about Xiao Chengqian's news when we went down the mountain, but we were too sad at the time, so I didn't care too much when I heard that Xiao Chengqian was fine.
Naturally, the news was also learned from Jiang Yi, and now that I think about it, I feel extremely weird.
After all, at that time, when we last saw those two groups, it was they fighting against the four demon spirits, and then, I entered the Dragon Tomb, who knew that after we entered the Dragon Tomb, the quaint long wall and gate disappeared.
Then, a gray mist surged outside, enveloping all the people, and then, all of them fell into a deep sleep for some reason, including the four demon spirits, and did not wake up until we summoned them.
I don't know how long they slept this night, but when they woke up, all the amazing things were lying in the depths of the old forest, and they were not in that picturesque valley at all.
This is Xiao Chengqian's whole experience, I'm afraid no one can believe it, even I think it's too magical, fainting inexplicably, inexplicably appearing in the depths of the old forest, who did all this?
And the reason why I want to say who did this kind of thing is because there is also an uncertain news circulating inside that in that gray fog, someone vaguely saw a figure, which was human, plus a vague beast shadow, and the shadow was very strange, and it was impossible to tell what kind of beast it was.
Jiang Yi has so many eyeliners, these news can be obtained by him without too much bothering, and then it reaches my Chengxin brother's ears.
Now that I heard Xiao Chengqian's voice, I remembered this incident and found it unbelievable, but what was even more incredible was what Xiao Chengqian said to me, how did he know that I was in Changbai Mountain, and even got through the special phone number that I only got?
There were so many questions that I couldn't ask at all, and when it came to my mouth, it turned into a sentence: "Are you okay kid?" β
"You're finally willing to ask me if I'm okay, since that time, your phone has been turned off, and I've lost contact with you for more than a year, do you remember me as a friend?" Xiao Chengqian's tone was a little sour.
Facing Xiao Chengqian, I didn't want to hide it, after all, he was my friend, and I said directly: "After I went down the mountain, I got the news that you were safe." You know, I've lost like snow. β
There are always special channels circulating in the circle, and it is not a secret that the Gu girl of Yueyan Miao Village disappeared in the Dragon Tomb, and the relationship between me and Ruxue is not a secret.
"I know! That's why I didn't blame you, because I didn't blame you, that's why I made this call. Xiao Chengqian's voice was calm, but I always felt that under this calm, his emotions were not so calm.
Or, is there some secret? When I think about this, I'm almost certain that there's a secret, it's just a spiritual instinct!
