The next day, early morning.
At the appointed time, Qin Hai and Miao Qing arrived at the entrance of the hotel on time.Since they were going to climb the mountain, it was inevitable that they would have to climb it. They might even have to camp in the mountain, so Qin Hai and Miao Qing were both wearing standard hiking gear. Miao Qing's bag was a bit smaller. Other than changing clothes, there was also some food and water.
In less than three minutes, Shen Meng appeared in Qin Hai's field of vision in her SUV. To Qin Hai's surprise, Du Meiqi had also followed them. Judging from her attire, she was also planning to go into the mountain with them.
After getting on the car, Qin Hai said apologetically, "Sister Shen, are we delaying you today by letting you accompany us into the mountains?""It's fine. I was also planning to enter the mountain today. It's the same if you don't come!"
"Aren't you in a hurry to deal with yesterday's matter?" Qin Hai was asking about the incident where Liu Hai embezzled equipment yesterday.
Shen Meng smiled, "I've already arranged for people to investigate. If we want to get the evidence we need, it will take some time, so it won't conflict with our trip to the mountain today." As he spoke, he glanced at the backpack behind Qin Hai and couldn't help but laugh, "It seems like you guys are ready. Then let's go."
Qin Hai put his and Miao Qing's backpack in the trunk and sat in the front passenger seat. Miao Qing and Du Meiqi naturally sat in the back seat.
Shen Meng was still driving. She drove away from the city and headed northwest. After more than an hour of driving, hills appeared on both sides of the road. The further they went, the higher the hills became.
Along the way, Shen Meng constantly explained to Qin Hai about the situation in the vicinity. In fact, she did not know that Qin Hai had long since become familiar with the situation here. Back when they were still in the Fierce Tiger Company, he had trained here countless times.After another half an hour, the road became more and more dangerous. Usually, there was an unreachable cliff on one side and a precipitous cliff on the other.
Qin Hai originally wanted to advise Shen Meng to rest, but she insisted on letting him drive. However, Shen Meng was indeed used to this road, so the journey was very smooth without any problems.
On a gentle slope, Shen Meng stopped the car and drank some water. She pointed to a mountain in the distance and said, "That mountain is called Ox-Head Mountain. It is the place we are going to today. The Miao stronghold that I mentioned is halfway up Ox-Head Mountain. Once we get off the train, we will have to walk for about two hours before we get there. "
Qin Hai looked at the mountain top. Although it didn't seem too far away, he knew that according to what Wang Shan said, it would still take a long time to reach their destination.
After resting for ten minutes, they continued their journey towards Ox-Head Mountain. After walking for another hour or so, Shen Meng stopped the car by the side of the road and said, "This is the place. We can't drive on the road in front of us, so we can only walk into the mountain."
A few of them got off the car and took out their luggage from the trunk. Then, under Shen Meng's lead, they headed into the forest.
There were a lot of bamboo in the mountains. In the winter, it was still a dark green, and the bamboo forest floor was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, making it very soft to step on.
The group continued to climb along a small mountain path. Finally, Qin Hai took out a machete from his bag and led the way. They chatted and laughed along the way, although they were very happy.Especially Shen Meng, Qin Hai realized that ever since they had entered the forest, Shen Meng seemed to have become a completely different person. The smile on her face grew wider and the laughter became clearer. Even her steps seemed lighter, as if she had returned to her hometown. She had a kind of excitement and joy that came from the bottom of her heart.
As for Miao Qing and Du Meiqi, they weren't as relaxed as he and Shen Meng. They had only walked for half an hour, but they were already exhausted. Furthermore, they were already sweating profusely as they walked slower and slower.
In the end, Qin Hai simply carried all of their bags on his back and helped them reduce their burdens. Only then did they increase their speed by a little.
It wasn't easy to get over the two hills. Just as Shen Meng said the word "rest", Du Meiqi fell to the ground, crying out in exhaustion.
The mountain peak here was much more steep and extraordinary than the one in the Eight Divisions Mountain. Qin Hai was very surprised that Du Meiqi and Miao Qing were able to climb over two of these mountains in one go.
This was because even Shen Meng's forehead was covered in sweat. Currently, she was also sitting on the ground, constantly beating her legs in exhaustion. One must know that Shen Meng had long since cultivated her inner force. Although she looked weak and weak, her body was actually much better than an average person.After eating a simple meal and replenishing their stamina, they set off again. If he didn't hurry, it would be even harder to walk on the mountain path after dark. At the same time, he would miss today's Firehand Festival.
Thinking about the Fire Elemental Festival, Qin Hai turned around and asked Shen Meng, "Sis Shen, what's the situation over here?"
Because it's down the mountain, they are all very relaxed. "Shen Meng smiled and explained," Nowadays, in order to attract tourists, many of the village activities have become very commercial, even some traditional festivals of the Miao Family, such as the Huo Tou Festival, have not been spared. The Miao stronghold we are going to today is called the QingWang stronghold, and it is said that we still maintain the most primitive traditional customs. "If that's really the case, then we'll have good ears tonight. The Miao Family likes to sing, and they also know how to sing very well. Also, a lot of Miao Family's young men and women like to sing a love song to each other during the Huo Tou Festival to express their love."
Du Meiqi giggled, "Then isn't today their Valentine's Day?""You can say that!" Shen Meng smiled.
After a short period of relaxation, another mountain quickly appeared in front of them. Shen Meng raised her head and looked around. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and said, "We should reach this mountain soon. Everyone work harder."
The mountain was taller than the two mountains they had just climbed, and the path hidden in the bushes was narrow. There were also a lot of rocks that had fallen from the cliffs, warning them to be on the lookout for rocks that might fall from above. On the other side of the mountain road, it seemed flat and unremarkable. In fact, there were always bottomless cracks hidden inside, and once a person stepped on them they would easily fall into those cracks. At that time, even their corpses wouldn't be found.
Seeing that the road was not easy to walk on, Qin Hai did not dare to be careless. He chopped down the girls' bamboo poles as a walking stick to remind them of the situation under their feet. At the same time, he was wary of the situation above his head.Even so, she was still surrounded by danger. Du Meiqi's bamboo pole accidentally fell into the crack. If it wasn't for Miao Qing, who was quick with her eyes and hands, she might have fallen down as well. Chapter error, point this report (registered free)
