Hu Qiu braked at once, and the car stopped firmly on the spot. The two of us stared at the down jacket hanging on the tree, and were stunned for a long time before we realized what was going on.
After looking at each other, they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"It's Xiao Qin!"
"Why is she here?" Hu Qiu was surprised.
"Because her home is here!" I couldn't help but frown.
Without saying anything, Hu Qiu opened the car door and walked out. After observing it for a while and confirming that it was the down jacket she gave away, she took the down jacket off the tree.
The clothes were still the same, as new as ever. Hu Qiu reached into his pocket and touched it. There was money that Hu Qiu had secretly stuffed in.
"The money is gone!" Hu Qiu said.
What is the operation of taking away the money but leaving the down jacket here?
This is a new piece of clothing after all. I bought it in the mall for more than 1,000 yuan!
"This Xiao Qin is indeed a bit weird!"
"But why did she do this? Her clothes don't seem to be very thick. Isn't she afraid of the cold?" Hu Qiu said.
"Do you think she has other intentions?" I asked.
"It shouldn't be!"
I shook my head in confusion. This kind of behavior was a bit unbelievable, and I couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking.
We both looked at the footprints on the ground at the same time, and we were basically certain that they were Xiao Qin's.
I got out of the car and took a closer look at the car marks covered by the university.
"This should be from yesterday!" I said.
"Let's catch up quickly, she shouldn't be far away yet!"
I nodded and got back into the car with Hu Qiu. She put her down jacket on the seat behind her again.
Before driving, Wu Qiu looked at the map on his phone again.
"There are only a dozen kilometers left!"
Seeing that something wasn't right about the expression on Hu Qiu's face, he asked her what was wrong.
A trace of doubt flashed across Hu Qiu's face.
"I suddenly thought of something. I didn't have time to ask you last night. Are you sure this positioning was sent by Hou Bao'er?"
When she asked me this question, my heart tightened inexplicably.
"I remember that Bao'er's phone seemed to have been broken, right?"
"It must have been broken. The person who sent the message must have been the cell phone of the guy who put it together." I said.
"are you sure?"
This sentence immediately stopped me.
I wanted to call him last night to confirm, but at that time Hou Baoer said that they were being chased by something, and I was worried that the ringing would cause unnecessary noise, so I didn't make the call at that time.
When Hu Qiu reminded me like this, I felt that I had been negligent.
"It's daytime now, give it a try!" Hu Qiu said.
I nodded, quickly found Hou Baoer's WeChat account, and made a voice call.
But the other party has turned off his phone!
I was a little annoyed. If I had known it, I would have tried calling him last night.
I tried calling Fatty and Huzi again, but they were also prompted to shut down.
The bad premonition in my heart became even stronger!
"Don't be nervous. Nowadays, mobile phones are basically charged once a day. It's normal to run out of power at this time!" Hu Qiu comforted.
I can only sigh helplessly.
She raised her head and looked at the distant mountain peaks, and suddenly said excitedly: "I really want to remember that the longevity village mentioned in the news at that time seemed to be this mountain. The two mountain tops were put together, and the longevity village was at the foot of the mountain.
.”
I looked in the direction pointed by Hu Qiu, and sure enough I found that the peaks in the distance looked like two peaks put together.
"Let's go, let's go to the village first!" I made an instant decision.
Hu Qiu nodded and continued driving.
But even though there were footprints left by Xiao Qin in front of him, the car didn't dare to drive too fast for fear of accidentally falling into the deep ditch next to it.
A few minutes later, after the car went over a steep uphill slope, woods appeared in front of it.
At the same time, a figure walked to the edge of the woods with his back to us.
Wearing white clothes, she was walking in the vast world like a ghost. Hu Qiu and I recognized her at the same time. She was the Xiaoqin we had seen before.
This girl was not walking very fast. She was carrying the things from before and trudged forward through the snow step by step. She quickly disappeared into the woods and disappeared.
"That's not right!" I suddenly remembered something.
Hou Baoer and the others followed Huzi all the way through compass positioning, and Huzi followed the truck pulling precision instruments.
So here comes the question, why are so many sophisticated instruments brought to this place where birds don’t lay eggs?
I feel a little confused.
At this time, the car had already arrived in front of the woods. This was a kind of tree that I had never seen before. They were huge and towering like giants. The thinnest ones were as thick as a person’s waist. The bigger trees were like
Two people are required to surround each other.
These big trees have many branches and dense leaves, forming huge crowns, blocking out the white snow.
The world is covered with snow outside, but there is rarely any snow on the ground in this forest, as if it is another world.
Hu Qiu sniffed hard and closed his eyes in intoxication, seeming to enjoy the smell here.
"The smell there is very special, with a light fragrance!" Hu Qiu said.
I also smelled it, it was really pleasant.
As the car continued to move forward, we soon passed through this huge forest.
We originally thought that the world would be covered with snow again, but what we didn't expect was that although it had snowed here, there was no snow on the ground, only a small amount of snow on some tree crowns.
"It's so strange. Why does the temperature here feel different from that outside the woods?" Hu Qiu said in surprise.
Not only Hu Qiu, but even I felt incredible. The closer we got to the bottom of the mountain, the less and less snow covered the trees. There was not even a single snowflake on the ground. There was green everywhere.
plant.
Soon, we came to a small river. There was an ancient arch bridge on the river. In front of the bridge, there was a stone tablet with three big characters written on it - longevity village!
"We're here!" Hu Qiu said excitedly.
"This is indeed the same as what I saw on TV. Now I remember it. It was reported on TV at that time. The big wooden barrels in my impression seemed to be floating on this river." Hu Qiudao.
However, I was not as excited as Hu Qiu, but frowned and looked at the small village across the river.
"Do you feel that the climate here is different from outside?" I said.
"It's nothing to make a fuss about. I remember it was said in the news that there is geothermal heat under the ground, so it's like spring all year round. I guess the reason why people here live so long is also related to the climate here!" Hu Qiudao.
I nodded, so that’s what happened!
But the more this happens, the more I feel like it’s not simple here!
Because throughout history, any place with such spring-like weather all year round often symbolizes a geomantic treasure land, either with mountains and rivers, or with the aura of earth veins, which coincides with what Hu Qiu said about geothermal energy.
Come on, this longevity village is an excellent Feng Shui treasure land, so it can be like spring all year round.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Hu Qiu couldn't wait.
Because vehicles are not allowed on the arch bridge, the two of us had to get down and walk. Fortunately, we crossed the bridge and walked a few hundred meters to the entrance of the village.
Changshou Village is located at the foot of the mountain. It is not very large, with dozens of scattered families.
Soon we came to a house at the entrance of the village. It was a house built of bluestone, with smoke coming out of the chimney.
As soon as Hu Qiu and I approached, a figure walked out of the kitchen.
This person is none other than Xiao Qin.
She also held a small stainless steel basin in her hand.
She didn't seem to see the two of us until Hu Qiu called her.
"Xiao Qin"
She subconsciously turned around, and when she saw it was the two of us, her expression suddenly changed.
The stainless steel basin in his hand also fell to the ground with a clang.
