Chapter 33: The Eight Thousand Miles Road Inn


I got into the car like I was sleepwalking.

Before I got home, Boss Dong called me again.

He said that when I got to the hospital, the visit had ended, so I couldn't enter the ward, but the doctor said that he was unconscious, but all his physical signs were normal. , should not be life-threatening.

"Yes."

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Yicheng's head immediately became half awake.

He was really afraid of what would happen.

If the reason for his coma was really a physical impact, it would be easy to say.

He was just afraid of being unconscious without being able to find out anything.

"If the symptoms are normal, how can they be normal?"

After listening to Zhang Yicheng's narration, Zhang Guozhong was a little confused.

He did not understand Western medicine, and it was difficult to understand how normal this so-called "normal physical signs" was, but from a Taoist perspective Analysis shows that there are many reasons for this kind of half-death.

"A few years ago, Sun Ting came back from Egypt and lost his soul.

The same thing happened to Li Erya when Wang Sizhao cast a miasma spell on him.

Now that the patient is not in front of him, it is difficult for him to determine what happened.

"I think normal physical symptoms means no serious injuries," Zhang Yicheng frowned, "That boss Dong told me just now that the accident happened in the ancient city of Dali.

The roads there are all bluestone roads, and it is a tourist area.

The roads are narrow and crowded with pedestrians. , the car generally doesn’t drive very fast, and even if it hits someone, it won’t be very hard, maybe it’s just an impact.”

"Cun Jin" Zhang Guozhong lowered his head and thought for a while, "Well, if there is really something wrong, it is definitely not appropriate to delay.

I will call them tomorrow afternoon and ask how it goes.

If there is no sign of waking up, I will Let’s go there with your uncle.”

"How dare you take the old man?"

Zhang Yicheng looked shocked, "Dad, you didn't see his expression that day.

What if this old man makes a fuss about looking for a crown again?"

"Then what should I do?

You let me go by myself?"

Zhang Guozhong frowned.

"Uh, I'll go with you."

"What will you do in the exam if you fart?"

Before Zhang Yicheng could finish speaking, Zhang Guozhong blocked him back, "You have only one task now, which is to just do nothing in the first two years of study.

What time is it now?

You still haven't said anything.

Just for the moment, with your little score, I think I will force your old man to death, right?"

"Don't I care about you?

You should be better.

At my uncle's age, I really saw Wang Guan suffer from high blood pressure when he got excited."

Zhang Yicheng still felt that he was wronged, but seeing that his father seemed to have made up his mind, he didn't No matter how hard you try, it’s really hard to ask for something so outrageous as affecting the college entrance examination.

The next day, afternoon.

Shamelessly, Zhang Yicheng called Boss Dong again.

Sure enough, Tong Guohu still showed no sign of waking up.

Boss Dong seemed to be well prepared and even used the morning time to find out the ins and outs of the matter.

It turns out that the accident happened not far from the inn, and the taxi driver who came to deliver the room card last night was the perpetrator of the traffic accident.

The speed of the car at the time of the accident was only more than 20 miles, or at best the speed of second gear, because Tong Guohu suddenly rushed to the scene.

He didn't have time to react before he collided with him in the middle of the road.

According to the driver, According to the description of the taxi driver, after the collision, Tong Guohu rolled his eyes and trembled all over.

No matter what he asked, he only answered Zhang Yicheng's name.

He fainted before the ambulance arrived at the scene.

After that, the taxi driver took Tong Guohu's luggage back to the inn.

And handed over the task of contacting Zhang Yicheng to Boss Dong.

After learning the news, Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liutou immediately decided to take the next day's flight to Yunnan.

The business he introduced, in the end, he had no part in.

To be honest, although Zhang Yicheng was a little bit dissatisfied with this result, on the other hand, he was quite happy.

His father was not here, so at least he could do it again.

It’s going to be the days of a mountain king in a few days, isn’t it?

The next day, Yunnan.

Because there is no direct domestic flight to Dali, Zhang Guozhong, Lao Liutou, and Qin Ge could only go to Beijing to take a flight to Kunming and then take a long-distance bus to Dali.

Although it was an early flight, it was not yet ten o'clock when it landed in Kunming, but it still took six or seven hours to drive to Dali, and it was almost five o'clock when we got off the bus.

Boss Dong, who had contacted him in advance, had been waiting at the long-distance station for a long time.

When he saw that the three men were here, he drove the three of them and rushed to the hospital without saying a word.

For no other reason than to go to the hospital first to sign the documents.

This is serious. .

To be honest, in the whole incident, Boss Dong was shot while lying down.

Although Tong Guohu’s medical expenses were paid by the driver responsible for the accident, the signatures on various treatment documents were all signed by Boss Dong.

Before meeting these three men, Boss Dong’s heart was still hanging on his mind.

If there was something wrong with this person named Tong, who would be responsible?

Dali Prefecture Fourth People's Hospital, ICU ward.

Just as Zhang Guozhong had expected, although Tong Guohu's physical characteristics in the hospital bed were normal, his soul was not in his body.

In the backyard of the hospital, Lao Liutou tried almost every method available, but could not recruit Tong Guohu.

's soul.

According to Old Liu Tou, the symptoms of Tong Guohu are very similar to those of Sun Ting after he returned from Egypt.

The only difference is that the body has not been laid eggs.

If there are no other clues, this must be found immediately.

The answer can only be found by conducting on-site inspections where people have been.

According to the old man's wishes, he wished he could go back to the inn, wash his face, and set off overnight: "Loyal to the country, Master Sun had the same virtue back then.

He was the best hospital in the United States and was guarded by the best doctors in the world for a long time.

You have to be brain-dead.

You have seen the medical conditions in this hospital right now.

It is not advisable to delay."

Wen Yitou said with a compassionate look on his face, "In my opinion, we have to act as soon as possible.

It is best to study it at night and leave tomorrow morning. " "Mr.

Liu, given Master Sun's condition back then, it would take five months before he could be brain-dead," Qin Ge said seriously.

"Brother, we don't have any clues about where he went.

I think we should consider this matter in the long term."

Zhang Guozhong seemed to be a little hesitant, "Besides, this person is known as Yuan Shaoyi's apprentice, and he ended up like this.

Let's go I am afraid" "Guozhong, why do you get so bold as you get older?

Didn't you hear what Yicheng said?

Well, Tong himself has things on his body that were brought down from his ancestors, and they are all fucking evil.

I think he Those problems are probably caused by the gadgets on his body."

Old Liu Tou said with a disapproving look, "Besides, with the Zuo Fu Immortal accompanying you, what are you afraid of if there are any monsters and monsters that are not allowed to go around?"

"Mr.

Liu, I remember someone told me that if you are reincarnated into a mortal body, you will be an ordinary person, no different from ordinary people."

Qin Ge was still very serious.

"You old boy, can't you say a few words less?"

Old Liu became anxious.

Dali Ancient City, Renmin Road.

The inn opened by Boss Dong is called "Eight Thousand Miles Road Yunheyue".

It is quite famous in the ancient city of Dali.

Because it is inconvenient to pronounce a long name, other shops in the same street generally call it "Eight Thousand Miles Road".

"Inn.

Boss Dong himself is from Shandong, and he also has a typical Shandong character.

He is enthusiastic, straightforward and free to say anything.

According to Boss Dong, the small courtyard where the inn is located is considered a very prestigious courtyard in the ancient city of Dali.

When Du Wenxiu established the Dali regime, this courtyard was once the location of Du Wenxiu's temporary combat headquarters.

After several battles, the Dali regime tended to consolidate, and the house was awarded to one of his subordinates by Du Wenxiu.

After the uprising failed and Dali City was destroyed, the house was awarded to a deputy general by Qing army commander Cen Yuying.

Later, the deputy general gave it to a former Qing literati to open a library.

It is said that the famous revolutionary of the Republic of China Xiong Xiong, a man with lofty ideals who once served as deputy director of the Political Department of Huangpu Military Academy, also walked out of this courtyard.

In Old Liu Tou's impression, the inn should be similar to the old Beijing Zhajiang Noodle House, with a front store and a back factory integrating food and accommodation, with square tables and stools, and a few waiters standing at the door and shouting. , as a result, once entering this "Eight Thousand Miles Road" "The inn really gained some experience.

It turns out that the inn can still be opened like this: the entire "inn" can be said to be a set of courtyards surrounded by two-story buildings.

The entire courtyard is about a hundred meters square, with many rockeries. and green plants; yard An artificial pond of about four to five square meters was dug, with koi carps and water lilies planted there.

A large sun umbrella was placed on the edge of the pond, and under the umbrella were lounge chairs and tea tables; the surrounding buildings were full of two Guest room on the first floor, directly opposite the courtyard.

The pure wooden ancient building on one side has been transformed into an open lobby, while on the other side there is a free cafe.

The entire wall facing the courtyard has been transformed into a glass curtain wall.

If you sit in the house, you can look up through the glass curtain wall.

You can see the landscape in the courtyard.

While Zhang Guozhong was registering at the front desk, Lao Liu sat down on the lounge chair by the pond.

He could really regain the feeling of basking in the sun and keeping fit by the swimming pool of Sun Ting's mansion.

To be honest, Zhang Guozhong had no intention of being arty at this moment.

He only wanted to settle the matter quickly and then return to Tianjin to watch his son study.

After greeting the front desk, Boss Dong took Zhang Guozhong directly to the room opened by Tong Guohu.

"Where has this kid gone?"

Entering the room, Zhang Guozhong noticed at a glance a hiking backpack that was as tall as a person.

The whole backpack was bulging and he didn't know what it contained.

He stretched out his hand to lift it, which weighed at least sixty or seventy kilograms.

"How long has he been away from the inn?"

Zhang Guozhong asked Boss Dong.

"It won't take more than a week."

According to Boss Dong, although this Tong Guohu looks bad, he doesn't look like a bad person.

He is polite and warm-hearted in dealing with others.

He also helped repair the house of the inn.

This person came to Dali last year and paid more than two months' rent in advance, but he only lived in the store for one month, and went out for the other half of the time.

"The last time he came, he also went out for a long time.

It took a lot longer than this time, and we couldn't get through on the phone.

We thought something had happened to him and called the police, but he came back on his own.

We asked him where he was, and he said he went hiking, but he didn't do it last time.

I didn’t take so many things.”

"Mountain climbing" Zhang Guozhong frowned and opened the zipper of his hiking bag and began to take out things one by one.

"Guozhong, how are you?

Do you have any clues?"

At this time, Old Liu Tou and Qin Ge also walked into the room one after another.

"Look what this kid has brought back."

Seeing Zhang Guozhong looking through Tong Guohu's package, Old Liu Tou and Qin Ge walked into the room one after another.

Liu Tou was very concerned.

Not yet."

Zhang Guozhong shook his head and saw that Tong Guohu's big bag seemed to be filled with professional-grade mountaineering and camping equipment.

Nothing like a crown was found from beginning to end: single tent, sleeping bag, rope, folding shovel, tools, Some remaining food and medicine, some basic magical instruments, and even a short knife similar to a Tibetan knife.

The sheath made of pressed cowhide is studded with Tibetan ornaments such as turquoise and coral beads, which looks strange.

Like objects from the Central Plains.

"He also has a bag."

Boss Dong picked up a smaller cross-body bag from somewhere.

When he opened it, he saw that it was full of small personal items such as wallets, keys, disposable underwear, etc., which made Zhang Guozhong feel more...

Surprisingly, I found an American passport in my bag.

When I opened it, I saw that it belonged to Tong Guohu.

I was surprised that this person had American nationality.

"Shangxian, this guy is from your hometown."

After taking Tong Guohu's passport, Old Liu Tou also opened it and looked at it.

It seemed that besides China, Tong Guohu had also visited many countries.

"What is this?"

Zhang Guozhong took out another advanced-looking device from his bag.

At first glance, it looked like a mobile phone, with a screen and buttons, but it was much larger and heavier than a mobile phone.

"Yo" Boss Dong took the instrument and played with it for a while, "This is a handheld instrument from tribe.

The positioning accuracy of the gs locator can be accurate to about half a meter, and there are tens of thousands of them.

This guy is really professional."

"Let me take a look."

Qin Ge took the navigator and clicked it.

After a while, he showed a mysterious smile, "I know where he has been.

There is a positioning record of longitude and latitude for Mr.

Dong." , do you have a map here?”

"Yes, yes."

Boss Dong turned around and left the room, "Where do you want a map of China or the world?"

of" "Well, it's best if it's local, but if it doesn't work, Yunnan's is fine," Qin Ge said.

"Go up the mountain, can you find that place?"

Old Liu's eyes flashed, "It's not far from our place?"

"You have to look at the map to know."

Qin Ge squinted at the hiking equipment that Zhang Guozhong had scattered all over the floor, "It must not be close."

"Who is this person?"

Zhang Guozhong took out Tong Guohu's wallet from his crossbody bag.

There was a photo of a woman in the wallet.

There was a woman in her thirties, with average-to-upper-class looks, although she was not considered a beauty.

But it is definitely more than enough to match Tong Guohu, "his wife" "You can also find a wife."

He took the wallet and glanced at the photo.

Old Liu Tou was also stunned.

To be honest, in terms of Old Liu Tou's aesthetics, the three ugliest people he has ever seen in his life are Cui Liyan from Gansu. , Li Dong from that foundation run by Qin Ge, and the current Tong Guohu, the three of them can be said to have their own merits, and they are absolutely ranked in no particular order; among them, Li Dong's conditions are considered to be the most advantageous, although he is tall.

He is a little shorter and has a mouth full of mahjong tile teeth, but at least he is a healthy person, while the other two are not just plain ugly, one is a one-eyed dragon, and the other is not a one-eyed dragon, but he has an amber that is scarier than the one-eyed dragon.

Eyes, plus a rivet face and a hairdo that supports the center of the place, if you can find such a beautiful wife, this kind of pure and great love can definitely be made into a Huangmei opera.

"Mr.

Qin, the map you want."

At this moment, Boss Dong ran back to the room with a map of Yunnan that was half a meter square and a mobile phone.

"This is Mr.

Tong's mobile phone.

I have already charged it."

Good battery” "Oh, thank you."

Qin Ge took the map and nodded slightly.

It seems that Boss Dong is also an outdoor sports enthusiast.

Even the map is a professional map with elevation and terrain markings.

"Hey" holding Tong Guohu's mobile phone, Zhang Guozhong was also stunned.

The way Tong Guohu recorded people's names was quite special.

There were not many people in the phone book, and most of them only had surnames but no given names.

The surname was followed by a man.

If you are a woman, add Mr., if you are a woman, add Ms.

Some people whose surnames were too heavy simply added numbers at the end.

The entire phone book was "Mr.

Zhang, Mr.

Li, Mr.

Zhang 1, Ms.

Wang 2" and so on.

There were only two people with complete names, one was Zhang Yicheng and the other was Zhuang Ning, "Is it the woman in the photo?"

"That should be the case," Boss Dong chimed in.

"At first I also suspected that Zhuang Ning might be his family member, but someone asked me to contact your son by name, so I didn't contact this person."

"Hello, are you Zhuang Ning?"

As he spoke, Zhang Guozhong had already dialed Zhuang Ning's number.

"Oh, hello, I am Tong Guohu's friend.

He had a car accident in Yunnan.

I don't know who you are.

Zhang Guozhong had a strange expression on his face, "Oh, really, when will you be able to come over?

Okay, let's call it the Eight Thousand Miles Road Yunheyue Inn."

"Just ask about the Baqianchenglu Inn.

Everyone nearby knows it," Boss Dong kept asking.

"This is about" Zhang Guozhong covered the receiver, "Boss Dong, when will you close?"

"Lock the door at eleven o'clock at night" Boss Dong said, "Why is she nearby?"

"She said she was in Lijiang.

Is it far from here?"

Zhang Guozhong asked.

"Let her come here.

I'll keep an eye on her at night.

I won't lock the door until she arrives."

Boss Dong was quite generous.

During the phone call, Zhang Guozhong learned that Zhuang Ning was also a friend of Tong Guohu and seemed to have a good relationship.

When he heard that Tong Guohu had a car accident, he seemed very concerned and said he would drive over immediately after hanging up the phone.

"Shangxian, how is your research going?"

Old Liu Tou seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, "Can't we just kill him directly if we have the latitude and longitude?

How can we look at the map?"

"Then unless you are flying there," Qin Ge said without raising his head, "I'm just planning the route."

"Where are you going?

I'm familiar with the hiking routes in Diancang Mountain."

As expected, Boss Dong is also an outdoor sports enthusiast.

"Oh, then there's Mr.

Labor Director."

Qin Ge circled a circle about the size of a duck egg on the map with his finger.

"How do we get to this area?"

Boss Dong was stunned.

"This is not a hiking route.

This area should be wild mountains.

There seems to be no road.

The altitude is at least three thousand meters.

The temperature is very low at night."

"Mr.

Dong, how are we going to get here?"

Qin Ge didn't seem to care about the weather conditions.

"Uh," Boss Dong thought for a moment and started drawing on the map, "First, you have to take a bus to here, and then walk along this road to here.

It will take about twenty minutes of walking.

There will be a caller after that.

This village is your last supply.

I suggest you buy more water and food, and then continue walking south along this road.

In a few kilometers, you will have to open up your own route."

Boss Pu raised his head and curled his lips faintly, "I suggest you If you don’t bring enough food, be sure to prepare anti-hypoxia medicine.”

"Thank you" Qin Ge nodded.

"Of course" Boss Dong nodded.

"I'm not busy," Qin Ge said, "Mr.

Dong, can you take us up first?"

"Of course."

Boss Dong looked at his watch, "Then we have to leave quickly, they will probably be closed later."

At about less than twelve o'clock, the legendary Zhuang Ning arrived at the inn in a hurry.

The first thing he did after seeing Boss Dong was to go to the hospital to visit Tong Guohu.

After learning that the hospital was late and could visit the patient, his whole body was filled with excitement.

As anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"You are Zhuang Ning, right?"

Zhang Guozhong was also stunned when he saw this legendary Zhuang Ning.

The real person is not very similar to the photo.

Compared with the photo, the real person is more beautiful by an order of magnitude.

He is also young and only three years old at most.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

She is in her early teens.

Judging from her anxious look, she must be very close to Guohu.

Could it be that she is Sister, cousin, elder or junior, neighbor, classmate, leader or subordinate, creditor.

He made wild guesses in his mind for a long time, guessing almost all possible relationships between people.

Zhang Guozhong could not bear to go to his "girlfriend" alone.

"I guess from this direction, no matter the appearance or age, they are too unmatched.

"It's me, you are."

Seeing Zhang Guozhong, Zhuang Ning was also stunned.

"Oh, I was the one who called you just now," Zhang Guozhong said, "Who are you, Mr.

Tong?"

"I am him."

After saying this, Zhuang Ning paused and said, "I am his friend."

"We are considered friends."

Zhang Guozhong suddenly had a question mark on his forehead.

Seeing how anxious and angry you are, the two of you must be very close.

How come you are "considered friends" and you are so anxious when you are not even considered a friend?

Is it really true?

Creditor: "You came here so late and are not even friends with him."

"This" Zhuang Ning's eyes were red and he shook his head, "He saved my life."

According to Zhuang Ning, he met Tong Guohu two years ago.

At that time, he and three other friends went to Siguniang Mountain.

Later, they encountered a rare snowstorm and an avalanche.

The three friends were killed one after another, and he himself was also killed in the avalanche.

He was seriously injured and could only wait to die because he lost contact with the outside world.

"At that time, my leg was broken, I couldn't walk, I had no supplies, no communication tools, and I didn't have enough clothes to keep out the cold.

I thought I was going to die there," Zhuang Ning said.

"Later I met him."

When he met Tong Guohu, Zhuang Ning didn't have high hopes because the road he came from had been blocked by a heavy snowstorm.

If he had taken another route, it would have taken him at least two days to reach the destination due to the climate and road conditions at the time.

He asked for help wherever his mobile phone signal was available, but he was injured in his leg and could not walk at all.

Faced with such a harsh environment, how could a kind-hearted person risk being dragged to death and escape single-handedly with such a burden like himself?

However, what Zhuang Ning didn't expect was that instead of leaving her behind, Tong Guohu threw away almost all the equipment except supplies, gave almost all the food to her, and then made a simple sleeping bag.

Because dragging the injured person could not be carried on too rugged mountain roads, this guy simply chose the smoothest but longest route and dragged her in a large circle around the valley for nearly 60 kilometers for three days in a row.

People are rescued.

You know, traveling in the snow in the plateau mountainous area is a task that consumes a lot of energy.

Tong Guohu not only dragged himself with an injury and an empty stomach, but also dragged Zhuang Ning through the snow for several days with only a piece of bread. , in Zhuang Ning's mind, in addition to his shocking physical fitness and willpower, Tong Guohu also has a heart that is kind enough to melt ice and snow.

"After that, you became friends," Zhang Guozhong asked.

"Not just a friend but later I fell in love with him" Zhuang Ning's.

The wild hobby of mountains is quite proportional, and she is not shy about emotional issues.

For a woman, what is more important than a sense of security?"

"Oh, what do I mean?"

Zhang Guozhong chuckled.

"The photo in his wallet is of you, right?"

Zhang Guozhong said as he handed over Tong Guohu's wallet.

"His mobile phone has complete names.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

One is my son, and the other is you."

"He" took Tong Guohu's wallet, and Zhuang Ning's eyes immediately screamed with surprise and excitement, "This fool" "Idiot" Zhang Guozhong was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"He told me that he already has a girlfriend."

Zhuang Ning raised his head, "Ah, so he has rejected you."

Zhang Guozhong also collapsed, thinking what kind of trouble you surnamed Tong are going to make, so I'll show you that Fairy face, there is a girl who is willing to follow you, go to the temple to worship the ancestors, but she is still picky, what kind of way is this?

"You can say that" Zhuang Ning nodded, "Since then, I have been looking for him again.

You said that he also has your son's phone number on his phone.

What is your relationship with him?"

"Oh, it's a long story."

Zhang Guozhong sighed, "Do you believe there is a ghost on this belly 7?"

"" Zhuang Ning was stunned, "I guess I believe it."

"Ms.

Zhuang, please believe everything I say next."

Zhang Guozhong clarified his thoughts and simply told Zhuang Ning the ins and outs of the whole incident word for word.

"Mr.

Zhang, you are saying that there is a ghost in Guohu and he has lost his soul now."

Zhuang Ning understood the general idea and did not seem to doubt all the supernatural topics Zhang Guozhong said, "My sister also had it when she was a child.

I lost my soul, but my mother found a fairy to bring her back."

"His problem is much more serious than your sister's," Zhang Guozhong said, "Tomorrow we are going to go to the places where he has been to see if we can find any clues to save him."

"Can I go together?"

Zhuang Ning said without hesitation, "I have climbed Diancang Mountain and have some experience, which may come in handy."

"Of course," Zhang Guozhong nodded, "but you must promise me that no matter what you see or experience, you won't be surprised, and you must keep it a secret."

"No problem."

From some perspectives, although this Zhuang Ning looks quite charming, his personality is quite like a man's, and his words are basically out of his mind:
