The tricycle driver hurried Shen Hou to the destination before the evening.
At this moment, four hours have passed since she ran away, and Shen Hou had been awake and slept several times while sitting on the tricycle.
"Here..." the driver reminded softly.
She opened her eyes and scanned the surroundings vigilantly. She saw a lively street market. The road was not wide. Both sides were full of compact flies restaurants, some selling oil and wine, and selling noodles and fried rice.
When Shen Hun gave the money, he asked casually: "I heard that tourism is developing here? But it doesn't seem to be anything special."
"You can't see a special place when you stand here! You have to go to the back of the village. The mountains there are steep and steep, and the water is clear and secluded. In summer, many people from other places come here to escape the heat... Here, I'm looking for you. Ten yuan..."
Shen Wei raised his hand to take it.
The driver made money this trip and smiled. Seeing Shen Hou's interest, he couldn't help but talk a lot: "If you are here to travel, you can walk along the most beautiful road in the village. At the end is the tourist distribution center. You can enter the mountain if you buy a ticket. There is a farmhouse run by the locals. You can spend dozens of yuan for one night. When it’s dark tomorrow morning, you can climb the'Guanyun Peak' to watch the sunrise.
"Okay, thank you. Can you borrow your phone? My phone is dead."
"Huh? Yes..."
Shen Hou took it, lowered his head and glanced, his face jerked.
The middle-aged driver scratched his head: "I'm sorry... I don't know how to read, and I can't use a smart phone. So the child bought me an elderly phone with a loud voice, the buttons rang, and the number can be reported when the phone comes in..."
Shen Xu wanted to give Quan Hanting a position first, but this phone...
She should call directly.
…
On the outskirts of a certain county, in an uninhabited wilderness, beside a helicopter whose propellers stopped rotating and stopped steadily, the tall and straight figure of a man was like a static sculpture.
"How long has it been?" Chu Yujiang turned his head and lowered his voice.
Ling Yun tightened the medicine bottle in his hand, his eyes faintly worried.
Six hours ago, after Quan Hanting received the text message, he did not ask anyone to do further investigation and confirmation, and directly asked Ling Yun to prepare the helicopter, which must be in place within half an hour.
But in fact, every helicopter must undergo a safety inspection in accordance with the prescribed procedures before taking off. The safety of every part as large as the fuselage, propeller, and small parts must be ensured, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, half an hour is not enough.
Although Ling Yun had tried his best to speed up the established process, he was unable to complete the set after all.
Quan Hanting: "No longer, let's go now."
"But I haven't checked it yet..."
Quan Hanting's eyes were red, and he paused every word: "I said-no, wait, now."
Ling Yun couldn't, but could only do it.
He should be grateful that all the parts that could cause damage to the machine have been inspected, and the rest are the parts that have a slightly less impact, and there should be no problems.
But the bad thing lies in the word "should". It's such a fluke, how can it happen? There hasn't been a problem before, but it happened this time!
You can only find a nearby open space to land, and troubleshoot as soon as possible.
The only thing that allowed Quan Hanting to take a big risk was a specious short message-an unfamiliar number, which was unclear.
If someone told Chu Yujiang in the past that he would see such an irrational "Liu Ye" who was so irrational at some time, he would definitely sneer at him.
But now, he can't scoff, because his face hurts!
It may be unconvinced, or it may be unbelievable. He also read the text message specially, the content is so simple that people have to doubt its authenticity—
I'm in [place name].
There is no name, no password, only one address.
what is this
But Quan Hanting believed, regardless of his own safety, he rushed to the place mentioned in the text message as soon as possible, and at the same time sent someone to track down the clues he had obtained before, doing both.
When I licked blood and beat the world, I didn't see "Liu Ye" being so generous, but now because of a sinking monk, he spared no effort to sacrifice his life and forget his death.
can only say-
The hero is sad for the beauty off.
He once thought that Quan Hanting would be an exception, but the facts have proved that men are not tempted, just because beauty is not beautiful enough.
When Shen Hun, the one-of-a-kind beauty, appeared and angered in front of people with a beautiful posture, Quan Hanting immediately smelled her fragrance and saw her beauty. Since then, he has been tempered with tempered fingers, and plunged into it.
Ling Yun glanced at the time: "It has been almost an hour."
From the time the helicopter landed to the present, Quan Hanting turned his back to the two, maintaining the same posture unchanged.
Suddenly, "Cough cough cough cough..."
A depressed cough came, Ling Yun's complexion changed slightly, and under Chu Yujiang's doubtful look, he quickly ran towards the cabin.
Soon, he took out a pill box and a thermos from the inside, and went straight to Quan Hanting.
As he got closer, his speed gradually slowed down. When he finally reached a position one arm's distance behind Quan Hanting's side, he could no longer hear obvious footsteps, and his breathing was adjusted evenly.
"Cough cough cough..."
"Master, it's time to take medicine." Ling Yun said softly.
Quan Hanting took the water and pills uncharacteristically, raised his head, and put them all into his mouth.
These medicines are like antibiotics. They are very effective in the short-term, but they can cause the body to develop resistance. Taking large amounts can cause dependence until it is completely ineffective in the end.
Therefore, no matter how uncomfortable Quan Hanting can endure, he won't move.
But right now he must maintain sufficient energy and stamina to prevent health problems from affecting his normal actions, so he doesn't need to persuade Ling Yun to take the medicine.
"How long will it take to fix it?"
"It's a problem with the debugging of the control system program. The signal reception center is taking the time to fix the loopholes. It may take half an hour..."
"Ok."
The mountains overlap, the breeze is silent, and the man's already cold profile seems to add to the shadow.
He turned his gaze over the mountains and jungles and turned to the north.
From Ling Yun's perspective, he could only see Liu Ye move his lips, but made no sound.
Only Quan Hanting himself knew what he was talking about—
Hou Hou, wait for me.
Twenty minutes later, the system troubleshooting: "Master, you can board the plane."
While the rotating propeller made noises, it also ignited a gust of wind, accompanied by short-term magnetic field interference and signal loss, and quickly disappeared into the blue sky.
Little did she know that at this moment, the phone call from Shen Hun happened to come in.
…
Can't connect temporarily
Shen Hou couldn't help frowning at the mechanical sound coming from the other end of the phone.
She did not call the driver's questioning eyes again, but informed the specific location by text message, but this time there were no three staring at it, and time was not so urgent, so in addition to the address, she also left her name. And "waiting for you".
Then clear the record and return the phone to the other party.
Driver: "The phone didn't get through?"
Shen Hou just said thank you.
She did not rush into the mountains, but went to the grocery store and the canteen first.
The grocery store buys backpacks, water bottles, sleeping bags, raincoats, and rain boots, all of which are the cheapest.
The commissary purchased dry food, mainly compressed biscuits, two boxes of canned food, plus half a bag of brown sugar, and a bag of crispy sausage.
At this time, she had spent more than half of the five hundred dollars that she took away from the boss's apron pocket by returning her mobile phone, leaving less than two hundred dollars left.
The setting sun, the twilight quarters.
As night fell, Shen Hou walked towards the tourist distribution center.
At seven o'clock, the staff was already off work. She took a map from the display rack outside and walked around the path without checkpoints, and went straight into the mountain without tickets.
Before it became a tourist attraction, it was just a wild mountain forest. The mountains and beautiful waters belonged to everyone. Villagers went in from time to time to chop wood, hunt, and pick mushrooms, pick the purest spring water as medicine, and come and go freely.
The same is true now. Even if tourism is planned here, villagers still don’t need money to enter the mountains, and the charges are only for foreign tourists.
Shen Hou sneaked in from the villager who had been told by the shop owner to enter the mountain road, walked for about half an hour, and rushed to the farmhouse marked "No. 7" on the map before dark.
It is said that it is a farmhouse, but it is no different from a self-built rural house.
There is a flat-bottomed dam in front of it, a small three-story building, and the middle of the ground floor is a hall, which is regarded as a "lobby" with a counter, and a young man stands behind the counter.
"This... eldest sister," he paused for two seconds before he came up with such a name, which may not be polite, but it seemed too deliberate to change his words temporarily. He could only stand behind the counter like this and touch his nose awkwardly. "Excuse me, do you want to stay?"
Shen Hou stepped into the hall, stood in front of the counter, and nodded.
The young man discovered her weirdness. She was dressed in a floral shirt and disheveled hair. She was clearly dressed as a typical rural woman, but she carried a hiking bag and wore back shoes. Although the equipment was simple and cheap, it was indeed for mountaineering tourists. The dress is correct.
The young man was startled again when his gaze fell on Shen Hou's face.
Although the woman's skin is not white enough, the forehead is wet with sweat, and a few strands of hair are attached to it, she is a little embarrassed; but there is no frown at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, especially her eyes are dark and bright, as if thousands of miles of clear sky, and like a pool Bibo, clear and not stained with any impurities, can even be said to be quite beautiful, definitely not the "big sister" he just yelled casually.
"Yes, stay." Shen Hou said.
Even the sound is so nice.
"... Oh! Accommodation right? 51 nights in a single room, 80 in a standard room, suite..."
"Single room is fine. If it is convenient, please help me arrange a room facing the back mountain and not facing the front yard."
"Fang, convenient." The young man nodded hurriedly, "However, it is relatively deserted towards the back mountains. Are you sure that living alone is not... afraid?"
Shen Hou: "My sleep quality is not very good, I like quiet."
"That's okay, let's go to 203, go up from here to the second floor, turn left at the end of the room, and give you the key."
When Shen Wei went to pick it up, he also handed him fifty yuan, and then turned upstairs.
The young man suddenly remembered something, and opened his voice: "If you wash, it is in the public bathroom on the second floor. Remember to plug the door when you use it!"
Standing on the stairs, Shen Xu turned and nodded slightly at him.
The young man realized that she was not only thin, but also very tall, and the legs hidden under the wide-leg pants should be very long.
…
On the second floor, Shen Hou went into the room to set aside things, and then went to the bathroom to take a battle bath.
Of course, she didn't forget to check everything around before washing.
After drying her hair and lying down, she felt that she had come back to life again.
Staring at the bed net, the light and shadow swayed, and there were a few small flying insects tirelessly surrounding under the lamp, only then did Shen Hun believe that he had really escaped.
This night, she slept in a dazed and unreliable manner, always keeping vigilance and alert at all times.
In the second half of the night, Shen Hun forced herself to sleep for a few hours. If Quan Hanting did not come before dawn, she would definitely enter the mountain. Only in this way could she be more sure that she would not be found.
But survival in the wild is extremely physical, and she must recharge her energy while she still has a bed to sleep in!
At five o'clock in the morning, before dawn, Shen Hun turned over and sat up, her clear eyes did not have any residual sleepiness, she changed into a jacket, packed her backpack, and left in the dark.
Just two hours after she left, at 7 o'clock in the morning, before the gates were opened for tourists, three men dressed as backpackers also followed the path into the mountain.
"Second brother, are you sure she ran here?"
"Did you hear what the driver said?" he gave a cold glance.
The third son shut up, buckling his neck and pretending to be a quail.
Who made him make a mistake now deserves no right to speak at all.
Brother Shuang turned his back to answer the phone, and his calm emotions suddenly became excited: "...What?! You have arrived?! When? Are you in the mountains?"
The second son and the third son looked at each other.
Who is here
In the next second, at the same time thinking of that person, his eyes were shocked.
Third son: "Could it be... he wants to catch Shen Hou with his own hands?"
The second son pursed his lips, forming a cold-cut arc at the corner of his mouth.
