Xu Yan pulled his suitcase and left the hotel in the night.
Under the watch of Yuan Chenglin, he got into an off-road vehicle driven by Lao Guo and went straight to Trumpet Mountain.
Lao Guo is a warrior. Although his strength is limited, he is very down-to-earth and loyal to Yuan Chenglin.
He, who always spoke very little, probably noticed that Xu Yan was a little different this time, so he couldn't help but try to chat.
The journey was long and it was a night train, so Xu Yan calmed down and chatted with him.
After a long while, Lao Guo couldn't help but asked: "Doctor Xu, no matter what you do this time, let me follow you?"
Xu Yan was surprised and said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan arranged it for you? If I told you that this trip would be very dangerous, would you still be willing to go?"
Lao Guo was silent for a moment and hesitated: "I'm willing to go, too!"
"Mr. Yuan wishes he could accompany him personally, but he is not a warrior, so there is no point in following him."
"That's why I was given this task, and I agreed."
Xu Yan looked at the deep dark night outside the car window, smiled and shook his head: "No need!"
"The danger this time is different from what you think. It doesn't take more than one person to be useful."
Lao Guo Hanshi's face was full of doubts, but he saw that Xu Yan was speaking very seriously and solemnly.
He smiled bitterly, and suddenly realized that he really couldn't help, and might be holding him back.
The car fell into silence again, speeding through the night.
Xu Yanxin accepted their kindness, but this time, no one in the family could help.
Half-step master! Even a guy like Niu Jingang, who is almost a desperado, is very afraid of him!
Xu Yan didn't even want to get involved with the Niu siblings, but he had no choice.
He has no other choice and cannot complete his revenge independently, so he can only seek help.
Regardless of success or failure this time, I have to help the Niu brothers and sisters again...
Xu Yan soon stopped thinking about these things and closed his eyes and fell asleep to recharge his batteries.
Yuan Chenglin was obviously very worried, otherwise he would not have arranged for Lao Guo to follow him.
Others just don't know about this, otherwise they would just be as worried as him.
In other words, Yuan Chenglin should have guessed that what Xu Yan was going to do was probably related to Wuzuo River.
…
The car drove in the dark all night and stopped in a small town at dawn.
Lao Guo quickly caught up on his sleep so that he could continue his journey in the afternoon or evening.
But Xu Yan went out for a trip, and when he came back, he said goodbye to him, pulled his suitcase and got into a dilapidated van.
Watching the van go away, Lao Guo was a little puzzled, and after thinking about it, he decided to contact Yuan Chenglin.
"It seems we can't really help!" Yuan Chenglin smiled bitterly on the other end of the phone, "Have a good rest and take the opportunity to take a vacation and play there for a few days."
"I understand, thank you, Mr. Yuan!" Lao Guo Hanshi responded. He knew it was a holiday, but he was still waiting for Xu Yan to come back.
Xu Yan got into the van, and the driver was Niu Jingang.
"The news has been released. Someone should be here before tonight!"
Niu Jingang's expression was quite relaxed. He turned around and said with a smile: "I heard you were coming. Ergou and Laosan were both rushing to pick you up. Oh, by the way, there's also Hongmei."
"Impossible! Miss Honglian doesn't have this kind of temperament!" Xu Yan had no choice but to expose him, "Don't always tease her!"
Niu Jingang grinned, "Isn't this an expression of our enthusiasm? Don't worry about the details!"
Xu Yan couldn't laugh or cry, "Okay, but Brother Niu, you were quite solemn on the phone, why are you more relaxed now?"
Niu Jingang said with a smile: "It does sound scary at first. A half-step master is only half a step away from an almost invincible master, so he is basically invincible!"
"But then I thought about it, this has to be done in the process of treasure hunting that we are most familiar with, and since you are here, it seems there is nothing to be afraid of!"
Xu Yan was silent for a moment, knowing that in fact, it was certainly not as easy as what he said.
Maybe the Niu brothers and sisters even quarreled over this.
After all, their mission is to hunt for treasures. Now they have to be involved in Xu Yan's dispute for no reason, and they have to target a half-step master. The pressure is too much!
Niu Jinjiang probably hasn't told the other three people about the vision. In this case, it will definitely be difficult for them to understand.
Probably the only reasonable reason is that Xu Yan saved Honglian's life.
But this is still very risky. After all, it will attract other treasure hunter forces. For the Niu family brothers and sisters, it increases the risk and is likely to lose the natural materials and treasures in Xiaoya Mountain. It is not cost-effective!
"Brother Niu, if things go well this time, when I have time, can I follow you to explore the treasure a few times?"
Xu Yan suddenly spoke and said with a smile.
Niu Jinjiang, who was driving, was stunned. How could he not understand what this meant? Xu Yan wanted to help compensate them!
"Of course!" Niu Jingang grinned and said, "If I encounter something difficult, I can ask you for help."
"But let's just talk frankly. I hope you will study and understand our situation earlier."
"Still waiting for the opportunity!" Xu Yan nodded, "I believe that one day, I can help you, whether it is to help you completely solve it or not."
Niu Jingang grinned and became even happier.
This is not a transaction, but a statement, a statement based on a friendship, and obviously both parties are satisfied.
In this way, I also had an explanation with Hong Lian and the other three.
The van drove for a long time on the narrow road, and finally arrived at a small mountain village in the afternoon.
There are very few people in the mountain village, mostly old people and children.
It is estimated that like many places, the young and middle-aged people have gone out to work to earn money, leaving the old and young to guard the dilapidated villages and watch the sunrise and dusk in the mountains.
There are many empty houses, and the old village chief here is also very talkative, and seems to be familiar with people who come here to travel.
After all, the nearby mountains are undulating and somewhat dangerous, which is very attractive to city dwellers.
This is very strange. The city attracts young people who have left the mountain villages, and the mountains attract people from the city.
However, people in the mountains go out to make a living, while people in the city go up to the mountains to have fun.
This is the truth of life, very paradoxical and very true.
Niu Jingang went to communicate with Hong Lian and the others. After all, before the real start, we need to work together. Otherwise, if we are not united, it will be difficult to enter the mountain.
Xu Yan was not idle either. He took this opportunity to conduct a free clinic for the elderly and children in the village.
The ability to cure diseases with acupuncture naturally gained great respect and interest from the whole village, and earned him the reputation of a little miracle doctor on the spot.
Early the next morning, without cleaning up the traces left in the village, they set off up the mountain carrying supplies.
Hong Lian and the other three were obviously convinced by Niu Jingang and completely accepted this mission.
However, the three of them were still a little solemn and did not come together like before.
Especially Honglian, there seemed to be something more in her eyes when she looked at Xu Yan, and she seemed to be more curious.
After all, it’s not just anyone who wants to have enemies of a half-step master.
Almost as soon as they left, a convoy arrived at the small mountain village.
These people act more directly and generously. They just spend money and get to know the situation nearby, including Niu Jingang and others who have just left.
After this motorcade, a group of light-stepping people appeared near the village.
They were very alert and did not enter the village again after noticing the movement in the village.
And behind them, there was another convoy, quickly approaching the small mountain village.
This sudden incident made the small village completely lively. Although they were all strangers, it made the village feel like a Chinese New Year.
The elderly and children in the village don't care what these people do, and that has nothing to do with them.
They seemed to enjoy seeing so many people and being so lively, which made the deserted mountain village full of vitality and vitality.
If these strangers asked, they would be happy to tell you many things.
Including the legends in the mountains, the guests who left, and the young doctor.
Niu Jingang's reputation is not small. It sounds like there is an accompanying doctor among the Niu family's treasure hunters?
It's a trivial thing, and no one pays much attention to it.
It's a pity that Wu Zuojiang and his helpers were very vigilant and did not enter the village.
Otherwise, he might be interested in the little miracle doctor the villagers call him, and he might even be suspicious of something.
But that's the thing. Wu Zuojiang doesn't think there is any value in the small mountain village. They are not familiar with treasure hunting, they just need the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind them.
After all, this is what a master like him should do.
Since they are all half-step masters and have several temporary subordinates, how can they really compete with those treasure hunters?
