The next day, early in the morning.
Heavenly Sounds『.『 2 According to the agreed time, Qin Hai and Miao Qing appeared at the door of the hotel on time.
Because if you want to enter the mountain, you will inevitably have to climb, and maybe you will have to camp in the mountain, so Qin Hai and Miao Qing are both wearing standard mountaineering clothes, and Qin Hai also carries a huge backpack with tents and some necessary tools.
Miao Qing's bag is a little smaller, and in addition to a change of clothes, it contains some food and water.
After waiting for less than three minutes, Shen Meng appeared in Qin Hai's field of vision in her off-road vehicle.
To Qin Hai's surprise, Du Meiqi actually followed, and looking at the dress on her body, she was also ready to go into the mountain with them.
After getting in the car, Qin Hai said apologetically: "Sister Shen, did you delay your business by letting you accompany us into the mountain today?"
” "It's okay, I was going to enter the mountain today, and it's the same if you don't come!"
"Aren't you in a hurry to deal with that matter yesterday?"
Qin Hai asked about yesterday's embezzlement of equipment purchase money.
Shen Meng smiled and said, "I have already arranged for someone to investigate, and it will take time to get conclusive evidence, so it does not conflict with our entry into the mountain today."
After speaking, he glanced at the backpack behind Qin Hai and couldn't help laughing, "It looks like you're ready, so let's go." ” Qin Hai put himself and Miao Qing's backpacks in the trunk, and then sat in the passenger seat, and Miao Qing and Du Meiqi naturally sat in the back seat.
It was still Shen Meng who was driving, and she skillfully drove out of the city and headed northwest.
After more than an hour's drive, rolling hills gradually appear on both sides of the road, and the further you go, the higher the undulating height of the hills.
Along the way, Shen Meng also kept introducing Qin Hai to the nearby situation, in fact, she didn't know that Qin Hai had long been familiar with the situation here, when he was still in the Tiger Company, he didn't know how many times he had trained in the mountains, and he could be said to be very familiar with the grass and trees here.
After another half an hour, the mountain road became more and more precipitous, often one side is an unclimbable cliff, and the other side is a steep cliff one or two hundred meters high.
Qin Hai wanted to persuade Shen Meng to take a break, but Shen Meng insisted that she come and drive, but Shen Meng was indeed used to this road, and she was very steady along the way, and there were no problems.
On a gentle slope, Shen Meng stopped the car and took a sip of water, pointed to a mountain in the distance and said, "That mountain is called Niutou Mountain, and this is where we are going today."
The Miao village I'm talking about is halfway up Niutou Mountain, and we'll have to walk about two hours to get there when we get off the bus. ” Qin Hai looked at the mountain, although it didn't look too far, but he knew that according to Wangshan's statement of running a dead horse, it would take at least a long time to reach the destination.
After resting for more than ten minutes, they continued to march towards Niutou Mountain.
After walking for about another hour, Shen Meng parked the car on the side of the road and said, "This is it, there is no way to drive on the road ahead, so you can only walk into the mountain." ” Several people got out of the car one after another, took out the prepared luggage from the trunk, and then plunged into the mountains and forests under the leadership of Shen Meng.
There are a lot of bamboos in the mountains, but they are still green in winter, and the ground of the bamboo forest is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, which is very soft to step on.
The group of them continued to climb up along a mountain path, and Qin Hai finally took out a firewood knife from his bag and opened the way in front, talking and laughing along the way, although it was hard but also happy.
Especially Shen Meng, since Qin Haixian entered the mountains and forests, Shen Meng seemed to be a different person.
The smile on her face was more, her laughter was more crisp, and even her steps seemed to be much lighter, as if she had returned to her hometown after a long absence, and she had a kind of inner excitement and joy.
As for Miao Qing and Du Meiqi, they were not as easy as him and Shen Meng, after walking for more than half an hour on the mountain road, the two of them were quickly tired and sweaty, and they walked more and more slowly.
In the end, Qin Hai simply carried all their bags on his back to help them reduce their burden, which made them speed up a little bit.
Finally turned over the two hills, and as soon as Shen Meng said the word rest, Du Meiqi sat on the ground, so tired that she called out repeatedly.
The mountains here are much steeper and more majestic than those on the side of Bafen Mountain, and Qin Hai is still very surprised that Du Meiqi and Miao Qing can climb over two such mountains in one go.
Because even Shen Meng's forehead was sweating a lot, and now he was so tired that he sat on the ground and kept beating his legs.
You must know that Shen Meng has already practiced internal strength, don't look at her soft and weak appearance, in fact, her body is much better than ordinary people.
After eating something and replenishing their strength, several people set off again.
If you don't hurry, the trail will be even more difficult to walk after dark, and you will also have to miss today's torch festival.
Thinking of the Torch Festival, Qin Hai turned back to Shen Meng and asked, "Sister Shen, what is the situation of the Torch Festival in the cottage here?"
” Because it was going down the mountain, several people seemed very relaxed, and Shen Meng explained with a smile: "Now many cottages have become full of commercial flavor in order to attract tourists, and even some traditional Miao festivals such as the Torch Festival have not been spared.
The Miao village we are going to today is called Qingwang Village, which is said to still maintain the most primitive traditional customs.
If this is really the case, then we will have an ear blessing tonight, the Miao family likes to sing, and they are also very good at singing, and many young men and women of the Miao family like to sing love songs at the torch festival to express their love in this way. ” Du Meiqi smiled and said, "Isn't it their Valentine's Day today?"
” "So to speak!"
Shen Meng said with a smile.
It didn't take long for them to relax, and soon another mountain stood in front of them.
Shen Meng looked up, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It should be time to cross this mountain, everyone work hard." ” The mountain was a little higher than the two they had just climbed, and the trail hidden in the bushes was very narrow, and there were many gravel falling from the cliff face on the way, reminding them to be aware of the possibility of falling rocks overhead.
On the other side of the mountain road, it looks like it is flat and unremarkable, but in fact, there are often bottomless slits hidden in it, and once people step on it, it is easy to fall into the slit, and even the corpse will not be found at that time.
Qin Hai saw that the road was not easy to walk, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he cut a bamboo pole for the women as a crutch, reminding them to pay attention to the situation under their feet at any time, and at the same time, he was also vigilant about the situation above his head.
But even so, it was still dangerous, Du Meiqi's bamboo pole accidentally fell into the slit, if it wasn't for Miao Qingyan's quick hand to drag her, maybe even people would have to fall.
