After attending the wedding of Cao Zhigao and Tao Ling, Chen Yufeng and Zhou Huijia were ready to return to Jiqing. Chen Yufeng gained a lot after being out for so long this time. Through the wedding of Cao Zhigao and Tao Ling, Chen Yufeng felt that he should also give to a few girls earlier.
A stable home, but
But now I still have no time to spare. In fact, Chen Yufeng's biggest wish is that one day, he can unload all his things, retreat to the countryside with a few girls, and enjoy his own happy time, instead of being busy every day like now, for everyone.
Running about all kinds of things.
But Chen Yufeng knows that what he has now is achieved through his own efforts. If he wants to give people around him a happy life, he must have a solid foundation. His career is still in the development stage and he has not yet reached the stage of retirement.
At that time, he felt vaguely that there were some things that were not clear in his heart. It seemed a bit luxurious to think about these things now. He could only think about the future if he could do the things in front of him with peace of mind.
Before leaving, friends from Qianzhen, Hu Yang, Ma Xin, Zhu Chengming, Zhao Che, and Tao Ling and Cao Zhigao insisted on seeing Chen Yufeng and Zhou Huijia off. We all got together once and talked a lot about each other.
It also made Chen Yufeng feel the enthusiasm of these friends in Qianzhen.
No matter how good the banquet is, there will always be time to disperse. After their friends dispersed, Chen Yufeng and Zhou Huijia walked hand in hand on the street. This was Chen Yufeng's last night in Qian Town. He will fly back to Jiqing at 11 noon tomorrow.
.
Chen Yufeng originally planned to go to the Jiuli Cultural Festival this time with a few girls, but in Qianzhen he changed his mind because he wanted to go with old Liu Qingyang to visit his old friends in advance and explore the situation in Miao territory. Chen Yufeng
I plan to go there with Mr. Liu first, and let the girls come by themselves when the Jiuli Cultural Festival officially opens.
Chen Yufeng and Zhou Huijia discussed that she should not go back yet and stay in Qianzhen for a while longer to accompany her parents. Then when the cultural festival was about to start, she would make an appointment with the other girls to go to Miaojiang. Chen Yufeng would pick them up in Miaojiang.
Zhou Huijia thought about it. Since it was useless for them to go with Chen Yufeng now and would drag him down, it would be best to just do what Chen Yufeng arranged.
Chen Yufeng went to the base the next day to pick up Liu Qingyang. Dong Pu drove the two of them to the airport. In the afternoon, the plane the two took landed at Xianghe Airport in Miaojiang. After getting off the plane, they took a taxi and found
After settling in a hotel temporarily and arranging accommodation, Chen Yufeng asked old man Liu Qingyang to rest in the room. He went outside and rented an off-road vehicle to come back. Next, he would definitely have to walk on a mountainous road without a car, and it must be an off-road vehicle. Generally,
My car simply cannot adapt to the ups and downs of this mountain road.
Chen Yufeng rented a white Mitsubishi Pajero, then went to a nearby supermarket, bought some food and water, and put them in the trunk of the car. After getting ready, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Chen Yufeng rushed back to the hotel to eat with Liu Qingyang.
After grabbing some things, the two of them took the time to sleep, preparing to set off early tomorrow morning to go to the mountains to visit Liu Qingyang's old friends.
Early the next morning, the two of them packed their luggage and left the room. Chen Yufeng drove Liu Qingyang to show the way. The two of them drove all the way to the northwest of Miao territory and into the mountains. The car quickly left the city and followed the direction Liu Qingyang pointed.
Going up a winding mountain road, Liu Qingyang explained along the way: "This is a mountainous area in Miaojiang. There are many local Miaojiang people in the mountains. They still rarely communicate with the outside world. This is one of the reasons why Miaojiang has always been so mysterious.
one.
The road we took was the winding mountain road that was built later. By the time we got to the real mountain road, the car was basically scrapped. We had to walk on foot to get to the mountain. I don’t know if these old guys are still there. I’ll count the days.
I haven’t been here for almost ten years.”
It was Chen Yufeng's first time to drive on such a steep winding mountain road. He drove the car very carefully along the way, not daring to slack off in the slightest. Liu Qingyang also knew that the road here was difficult, so he stopped talking and leaned on his seat.
Close your eyes and rest your mind…
Although the car was bumpy along the way, fortunately, no major problems occurred. Seeing that the car was about to reach the intersection Liu Qingyang mentioned, Chen Yufeng suddenly felt a bad feeling. This feeling was verified more than once.
Whatever happened, Chen Yufeng immediately slowed down the car without hesitation. Although he didn't know what would happen, he knew in his heart that something would definitely happen, so Chen Yufeng chose to slow down and observe carefully.
At this moment, a big stone rolled down the mountain and scraped against the hood of the car. If Chen Yufeng hadn't suddenly slowed down the car, the two of them would have been turned into big cakes. Liu Qingyang opened his eyes when he heard the movement.
Eyes, he did not expect to encounter such a thing, and both of them couldn't help but sweat. Chen Yufeng simply stopped the car, took a bottle of water from the back and drank a few sips.
After stabilizing his mood a little, Chen Yufeng restarted the car. After the car started slowly, Chen Yufeng controlled the speed of the car at about 30 kilometers. Originally, they expected to arrive at noon. This accident, coupled with the slowdown of the car, until
It was around two o'clock in the afternoon when the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain Liu Qingyang was talking about.
If you want to go up the mountain, you have to take the winding path on the mountain. The car is useless at this time. Chen Yufeng found a place to pull over and parked the car. Usually there are few people here, let alone cars, so the car stopped.
You won’t get in the way of others here, and it’s safe so you don’t have to worry.
After parking the car, Chen Yufeng took a travel backpack from the car and carried it on his back. The backpack contained some changes of clothes, food, water, a tent in the wild, and other items.
The two of them packed up and walked towards the path in the mountain. Although Liu Qingyang was nearly seventy years old, he was still in very good physical condition due to his constant exercise over the years. He didn't feel red or out of breath when walking on the mountain path.
Young people nowadays can't do it.
Liu Qingyang said while walking: "This place is still the same as ten years ago. There are no big changes, except that there are more trees. Xiaofeng, look at this path. If you keep walking from here, you can see a mountain stream. The water in the stream
It's pure natural mountain spring water, sweet and delicious, much better than the mineral water we brought. Do you want to go and have a look? You can get to where we want to go from there."
Of course Chen Yufeng has no objection. Although the mountain road is rugged, the scenery along the way is also very beautiful. There are many trees and flowers in the mountains that are not usually seen. Chen Yufeng even discovered many native herbal medicines. This native herbal medicine is also effective in terms of efficacy.
Much better than cultivated herbs.
Moreover, the herbs grown in the deep mountains do not have any soil-polluting environment and climate, so they are very suitable for the growth of herbs. Herbs can grow naturally for many years. It is the best to harvest these herbs and make them into finished medicinal materials. Chen Yufeng endured
I couldn't help but want to pick some and take them back, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. Firstly, if I couldn't store the herbs in my backpack, they would go bad. Secondly, if the herbs couldn't be made in time, their properties would be affected. Thirdly, Chen Yufeng couldn't bear it.
Destroy the natural environment here.
Liu Qingyang led the way, heading north along the mountain path. It was obvious that he was very familiar with the environment here. Within ten minutes, Chen Yufeng heard the faint sound of water flowing in front of him, and Liu Qingyang also told him that that was the place ahead.
A small stream.
The two came to the creek. Chen Yufeng found that the water here was really clear. The creek was not very wide and the water was very shallow, but the water quality was very pure. Standing by the creek, you could still feel the slightest fragrance. Chen Yufeng felt
It's very novel. This kind of clear stream can only be found in deep mountains. You can't usually see it.
Liu Qingyang walked to the news and said: "This is the creek I was talking about. When I came here, there were still a lot of small fish swimming here. It seems to have changed a bit now. After all, I am old and can't remember it.
What has changed?”….
Liu Qingyang's unintentional words caught Chen Yufeng's attention. The creek was very clear, but there were no small fish in it. Not even a small grass shrimp was seen, and there was not even a small animal on the edge of the creek.
It was unusually quiet on the edge of the stream. After Chen Yufeng heard Liu Qingyang's words, he suddenly realized something.
Just when Liu Qingyang took out the bottle and was about to fill it with some water to drink, the bottle Liu Qingyang took was just brought to his mouth. Chen Yufeng snatched the bottle away. Liu Qingyang looked at Chen Yufeng inexplicably. Based on his understanding of Chen Yufeng, this child would not
He suddenly did something inexplicable. Did he discover something?
Chen Yufeng snatched the bottle from the old man's hand without saying a word, but took out a silver needle from his body and put it in the bottle. As soon as the silver needle was put into the silver needle of the bottle, a black line suddenly covered the entire silver needle.
Needle, Liu Qingyang's face changed when he saw the silver needle turn black. If Chen Yufeng hadn't snatched the bottle from him just now, he might have been poisoned by now.
Chen Yufeng poured the water from the bottle onto the grass, and the grass on the grass instantly withered. This shows how toxic the poison is. Liu Qingyang couldn't help but feel lucky for himself. Thanks to Chen Yufeng for stopping him in time, otherwise the consequences would have been serious.
.
Chen Yufeng took out another silver needle and placed it in the creek. The silver needle turned black instantly, just like before. This confirmed that the water in the creek was highly toxic.
Chen Yufeng stood up and said: "No wonder there are no creatures in the creek, and there are no animals moving around the creek. It turns out there is something strange in the creek. Is there any poisonous creature or poisonous gas here, Mr. Liu?"
Something like that? Have you ever heard here before that the water in the creek can be poisonous?”
Liu Qingyang thought for a while and replied: "When I was here before, I never heard that the water in the creek was poisonous, and I drank the water here more than once. This creek used to be very lively.
If you don't tell me, I haven't noticed that there used to be many small animals drinking water here. There were small fish and shrimps swimming around in the stream. Sometimes by chance, you can see some big fish swimming in.
Could it be that someone deliberately poisoned us? But who would have known that we were coming to Miao territory? And it’s our first time here and we haven’t offended anyone, so how could anyone harm us?”
The two of them were puzzled, and finally Chen Yufeng said: "Old man, let's not think about it now. I felt a little strange along the way. How could a stone roll down the mountain for no reason just now and rub it so coincidentally?"
Our car rolled down. At that time, I felt something was wrong and slowed down the car to survive. Unexpectedly, the water here was poisoned again. If we didn't pay attention to take a sip, even if we wanted to cure the poison of the water,
Too late.
I think these are all done deliberately by someone. I don’t know what the purpose is. It seems that some people here don’t welcome us, but the more this happens, the more I will come. No matter what tricks they use, I will follow them one by one. Old man
I'm just wronged that you have to suffer with me."
Liu Qingyang waved his hand and said: "Xiao Feng, what did you say? It's your first time here. Even if you don't welcome me, you don't welcome me. What does it have to do with you? Don't put any responsibility on yourself. Although I am old
, but if they are not confused, they can do whatever they want. At worst, the old man will throw a bunch of old bones here, but don't let me know who is targeting us, otherwise I will not let him go easily."
Chen Yufeng didn't expect that Liu Qingyang was usually amiable, but also had a strong spirit in his bones that refused to admit defeat. In this regard, the two of them were somewhat similar. After speaking, the two men looked at each other and smiled, without speaking, but continued to face the northwest.
Fang walked away, both Chen Yufeng and Liu Qingyang's steps were so steady and firm, not flinching at all because of what just happened.
At this time, the setting sun in the mountains shone on the backs of the two men. They were equally broad and powerful. The setting sun couldn't help but be drunk. It shone slantingly on the earth, red and faint...
