After rolling up the cigarette, the old man put it in his mouth and turned his butt, bit off a piece and spit it out and said: "This road only leads to Longshan Temple. It's over there and it's impossible to cross the mountain."

"It's snowy and it's night again. You either go to Longshan Temple or get lost. I see that your clothes must be from the county, so I guess you should be lost."

The old man's analysis was exactly what Li Yuanlang thought. He didn't want to expose the purpose of this trip, so he went down and nodded and admitted it simply.

"It's normal to get lost, what's so embarrassed?" As the old man spoke, he held the cigarette to his mouth, and Li Yuanlang quickly lit a fire for him.

"Old man, is there Longshan Temple in the mountain? No, Longshan Temple is not here, but in Duoshan Township."

The old man shook his head and said, "The one you are talking about is Xinshi. The one inside the mountain is the old temple. It has been moved away for more than ten years. It is in a dilapidated state and nothing."

"Oh." Li Yuanlong nodded, "Old man, how far is this place from the old temple?"

The old man smoked cigarettes and said, "It's not far away, ten miles away, it's not easy to walk on the snow, it takes twenty or thirty minutes to drive."

He looked at Li Yuanlang curiously and asked, "Since you think, do you want to go there to take a look?"

"No, I just asked casually."

"I advise you not to go there, there is really nothing to see in that place." The old man explained: "The temple is different from other places. Besides, there is no one living there for a long time, there is no yang energy, and there is also heavy yin energy in the deep mountains, and wild animals are also present. To be honest, I dare not go during the day, let alone at night."

Li Yuanlang also lit a cigarette, shook his head and said, "Thank you, the old man, for your kind reminder, why are we going to that place? We are warming up our bodies here and leaving in a while."

When the old man heard this, he said with satisfaction: "Young man, that's right. I'll listen to people's advice to have a full meal. Hey? You haven't eaten yet. I happen to have stewed lamb here. If I don't dislike it, drink some broth and you will leave."

"That's great, please trouble you." Li Yuanlong said politely.

The old man immediately got up and went to the kitchen of the outer room to work hard. When Li Yuanlang saw him leaving, he carefully looked at the house.

Wang Zhongqiu was puzzled and could only sit in a daze to watch Li Yuanlang's actions.

Li Yuanlang observed very carefully, especially interested in the hunting gun hanging on the wall.

He held it in his hand and looked around, and it took him a long time to put it back. Then he walked to the outside room and watched the old man pick up meat, he specially illuminated it with a flashlight.

Soon, the old man picked up a large pot of mutton with the smell of meat and heat and went into the house first. Li Yuanlong took this opportunity to shine the outer room with a flashlight, remember it in his heart, and then went into the inner room.

This was a pot of mutton chops, and the old man took out the soju wine and invited Li Yuanlang and Wang Zhongqiu to taste it.

Li Yuanlang hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, "Old man, I still have to drive, so I won't drink with you anymore. Let me, the little brother, drink some with you, and I'll just eat meat."

The old man nodded in understanding. Wang Zhongqiu grabbed the wine pot and poured a bowl of soju for the old man, and he also poured more than half of the bowl himself.

He has limited alcohol content, so Wang Zhongqiu will get drunk after drinking a bowl of this kind of soju wine with a high degree of salt.

He was so hungry that Li Yuanlang had a great appetite. At this time, stewed mutton had become a delicacy in the world. He ate four or five pieces in one breath, and finally had a good stomach.

During the meal, I learned that the old man's surname was Wu and his name was Wu Jun. He heard that he had been a forest ranger for almost thirty years. After retirement last year, because there was no new person to take over, the forest farm rehired him to continue doing this work.

Although the soldiers of Wu looked evil, they were very talkative, especially after drinking, they fully revealed their cheerful side.

The same thing is true, you cannot judge people by their appearance.

It gives people the feeling that Wu Jun is very easy to contact. In his words, forestry workers are straight-hearted and never hide whatever they say.

When he was happy, Wu Jun drank a lot. After drinking the first bowl of wine, he took the initiative to pour the second bowl.

Most of the bowl of white wine, Wang Zhongqiu was a little unable to open his eyes.

Wu Jun insisted that he drink with him, and Li Yuanlang also advised him.

He made Wang Zhongqiu helpless, and after drinking half a bowl of the second bowl, he was dizzy and confused.

This meal lasted for more than an hour, and it was over after Wang Zhongqiu drank and vomited.

Before leaving, Li Yuanlang secretly took out three hundred yuan and pressed it under the pillow.

You can't eat other people's things for nothing. This is Li Yuanlang's principle.

Back in the car, he waved goodbye to Wu Jun who was sent out. After Li Yuanlang turned the car, he went down the mountain and left directly along the way he came.

Wang Zhongqiu, who was in the car, opened his sleepy eyes and squirted with alcohol and said, "County Magistrate, why did you agree to Lao Wu who gave me a drink just now?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Li Yuanlang frowned while driving, "I won't go tonight, I'll go back to the county town."

Wang Zhongqiu sat up straight and looked out the car window. It was indeed the way back. He asked in confusion: "Why don't you go? Didn't Old Wu say that he will arrive in just ten miles?"

"Our whereabouts have been exposed, and it's useless to go." Li Yuanlang said.

Exposed!

Li Yuanlang nodded, "I have a few doubts that I need to sort out clearly."

Wu Jun’s hunting guns were very new, and the farm tools he hung in his house were also 90% new. According to Wu Jun, he has been a forest ranger for 30 years, so why are these things new?

If it were changed, it wouldn't be possible to change it all, right?

Moreover, guns have strict control measures, and even an empty shell is not allowed to be taken away after the soldier retires. How do you explain Wu Jun’s new gun?

There is also the stewed mutton they ate. Li Yuanlang actually saw the pocket mark of the meat stall on the floor of the outer room, and it was from a mutton store in the county town.

The mountains were covered with heavy snow, and there were no ruts or footprints on the way when I came. How did these meats come up? It is a mystery.

Li Yuanlong met Xin Minghao when he was in Shuiming Township, and he was a forest ranger at that time.

Compared with the decorations in his house and Wu Jun, Li Yuanlang could feel a different place, as if someone had deliberately traced it.

The most important point is that this small house is on the only way to the old temple. There is no water or electricity, why does Wu Jun stick here?

Is it as simple as he can't get home because of heavy snow?

Anyway, all kinds of mysteries and strange things made Li Yuanlang decide to give up his plan to go to the old temple of Longshan and go back home and make plans.

In the car, Li Yuanlang and Hu Zhaojun communicated and told him all the questions in his heart.

Afterwards, Hu Zhaojun understood this and this explanation.

However, he also responded to Li Yuanlang a new discovery.

Deputy Director Hong He has been elusive recently and often drives out with several confidants from the Public Security Brigade, but he doesn't know what to do.

"You haven't sent anyone to check it out?"

Hu Zhaojun said: "Hong He is also in this industry and has strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. We are colleagues in the same unit, who doesn't know who? When my people appear, they will find that they can't follow me."

Forget it, don't worry about him for now, it's important to do serious things.

That night, Li Yuanlang did not sleep soundly.

Wu Jun's incident made him think about it for a long time, for a long time...

In the next few days, Li Yuanlong focused his main energy on preparing for the Winter Catching Festival and worked overtime all day long.

In a blink of an eye, there are still a few days to be New Year's Day.

On this day, Wang Zhongqiu sent a list of merchants who invited to participate in the Winter Catching Festival drafted by Director Yu of the Investment Promotion Office, allowing Li Yuanlang to take a look.

Not to mention, this time, there were nearly twenty merchants in this province and other places.

Director Yu has indeed put in effort in this regard. If seven or eight of these God of Wealth had invested and settled in Daiding County, what a great achievement would it be.

Li Yuanlang looked at it and suddenly found a familiar name.

Ailibesi Cosmetics Co., Ltd.

Isn’t this Han Yin’s industry in Jingyun City?

Could it be that she is coming to Daiding County?

However, the guest name behind was a man named Jiang Yao, not Han Yin.

Li Yuanlong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Han Yin had been, it would be so embarrassing to see her, Li Yuanlang wouldn't know how to deal with it.

In order to verify the authenticity, Li Yuanlang took out Xie Ke's mobile phone number and called him.

Time flies so fast that Xie Ke resigns to Hanyin's company. I think it will take several months.

Xie Ke answered the phone very quickly. When he heard it was Li Yuanlang, he heard the voice of what he was saying when he walked outside.

I haven't seen each other for a long time and haven't contacted each other for a long time, so naturally I can't miss a few jokes.

After getting to the point, Xie Ke said: "Yes, Jiang Yao is the vice president of our company, and... "

Listening to his indulgence but stopped, Li Yuanlang half-jokingly said, "When I went to the south for a few months, why is it still difficult to say? Hurry up, I have something to say, don't hold it in my mouth."
