The minibus staggered past a gray street, surrounded by low buildings, the colors looked old and full of age.
No, it is not so much a sense of time, but rather a sense of backwardness.
Under the mountains and ridges, Longtou Town has a strange fusion style of human society and natural space. It is obviously old and poor that is coming, but it makes people feel that this place should maintain the status quo for a long time and defend what some big cities have long lost.
The place where Yu Xing leaned like a boneless person had been downgraded from the comfortable sofa on the plane to the creaking hard seat of the minibus.
This time, there was no place to put the luggage, and the small box could only be sandwiched between his legs - the larger suitcases piled up in the aisle, and now he occupied the window.
Zhao Yijiu was still sitting next to him, putting one hand on the top of the suitcase and the other hand on his thigh, and unconsciously tapping his fingers.
There were a lot of people in the car and it was noisy.
They took the bus twice, and this should be the last one. When they arrive at the station later, they want to get closer to their destination. There are probably only two options: renting a car and walking.
Because there are so many people on the bus and the atmosphere is completely different from the plane, Zhao Yijiu is used to being alert, with a gloomy and quiet expression, and she has a temperament that is not easy to mess with.
Some locals with loud voices... may also be people from nearby towns talking in dialects that are difficult to understand. Some of them are wearing outrageous clothes, while others are wearing ethnic minority clothes, and their appearances are also different from the south.
His facial features are more fluctuating and his skin is drier, not as sensual as the southern region, but he looks very strong.
A local middle-aged man sat next to Zhao Mou. I don’t know what method he used, but he had already had a great conversation with the other party. Although his dialect accent was not standard, he could communicate freely.
This may also be the reason why he changed his dressing style. Even if he was wearing casual clothes, Zhao Mou was still too handsome when compared with the locals. He was completely ok with a niche face. If he dared to wear a suit, he would probably be even more out of place.
On the contrary, Zhao Yijiu's bad temperament overshadowed the influence of appearance and perfectly integrated into the local mix of fish and dragons.
That's right, before getting off the bus, Yu Xing already had the impression of "mixed fish and dragons" of Longtou Town.
Longtou Town is an excellent supply station to enter Longling. Although the town is not big and not rich, Yu Xing looked out of the car window and saw many well-equipped outsiders among the passers-by.
Some people stayed in the town to do some gray business, some went to the mountains to hunt or fight back... Yu Xing entered the dungeon of the tomb palace, and he knew what the people who fought tomb were like.
In short, he saw many professions that could not appear in the outside world. I think it was the usual style of Zhulongling. The superiors did not care about it and did not build it. The subordinates naturally started to make money by themselves, and they were very desperate.
Yu Xing looked at it for a while, took his eyes back from the person and moved to a farther place.
He is looking at the mountains.
The winding and long crossing of Long Ridge. Looking up from anywhere in Longtou Town, you can see the shadows of the mountains distorted due to distance.
Huge, majestic.
Suffocating.
The mountains blocked all directions, like an insurmountable cage. Even if Yejiang opened a gap from it, it still could not stop the oppression of layers of rocks.
Let’s just say this for Longtou Town, let alone the acid and counties that cannot be found on the map.
At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the minibus stopped at the bus stop in the town. The people in the car were walking down slowly, and they were all looking at their luggage.
Yu Xing jumped out of the car door, breathed a sigh of relief, and was blown by the fresh air coming towards him.
The car was too boring, and it turned out to be much better after getting off.
"If you had just met you, you would have vomited a long time ago." Zhao Yijiu looked at him thoughtfully for a moment and came to a conclusion on his own.
Yu Xing was a little surprised that he would take the initiative to mention this: "Hmm? Does Brother Jiu prefer me who was weak at the beginning?"
Zhao Yijiu showed a little disgusting expression, but her acting skills were not up to standard, which made Yu Xing see a little bit of a quarrel: "...How could you like a sick person? It's very troublesome."
Zhao Mou also got out of the car. No matter what they were talking about, he put his arm on his younger brother's shoulder with a smile: "Let's go, I just asked the locals. The sourness is a bit far from the county, and in the mountains, if we want to go, we have to find a local guide who can enter the mountains."
"Where to find it?" Zhao Yijiu tilted his head.
Yu Xing smiled and looked at the men in the jackets who were approaching them: "No need to look for them, the guide will come to us."
This bus station is the only place to enter and exit vehicles in Longtou Town. Those who know how to do business will definitely come here early to squat.
Sure enough, the men who were walking here looked at each other for a few moments, and in the end only one of them came over, and the rest went back to the place where they were originally leaning on to smoke.
The man was not tall, looking thin, probably in his forties, with a smart look swept across their clothes, then swept across their faces, and spoke in an unstandard Mandarin: "Hey! Are you from other places?"
Zhao Yijiu ignored others, Yu Xing also lowered his head and "played with his cell phone". Only Zhao Mou looked at the man directly: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"I see you are from other places, so I think it's not convenient for a few little brothers to come here for the first time. I guess I have to ask someone to take the lead?" The man handed over a cigarette attentively. Zhao Mou looked at the inferior cigarette brand and put Zhao Yijiu on, and took it with a smile.
Zhao Yijiu immediately stayed away, her face was heavy, and her eyebrows were pressed down very low. This reaction made the man relax a little and he smiled.
With a click, the man lit a fire for Zhao Mou and patted his chest: "If you want to find someone, find me. I have any way to do it, so you can do whatever you want!"
Zhao Mou's smile remained unchanged, but he didn't respond. He just clamped the cigarette with the hand wearing a copper coin bracelet, and let the white smoke seep out through the gaps in the open lips during his breath.
When the man looked at the bracelet again, his pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but look at the three of them again.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! You are young and tender. The two handsome brothers look very similar. They should be brothers. There is another one that is more beautiful than celebrities. Forgive him for not having many words in his mind, so he can only think of this word.
This was his first impression of the three.
But in their industry, they look at people, not just about appearance.
The man became more and more frightened as he looked at it. The three of them were all tall. Although they were not strong compared to most of the "outsiders" he had seen, the muscles under his clothes could not be covered. Just looking at their standing posture, you would know that their foundation was definitely not shallow.
This is not a tourist who doesn't know anything, but a visitor who comes to do business.
Looking at their expressions, one of them is cold, and it looks like they are not good at slapping, like someone who is unhappy and wants to use a knife; the one who looks better than women is very casual, but not simple, but ease.
The one who spoke to him was prominent, both in expression and body movement, and could not see through it like an old man.
The string of things in my hand was either bought in the black market or taken in the tomb. Don’t see through them casually, the man only saw two words from them - rich!
No matter how the money comes, it is just that you have money!
"Hey, I'm ignorant, how can I let the three of you stand? Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal. How about we chat while eating?" The man pointed to the small restaurant opposite the bus station.
Zhao Mou sucked and spitted smoke, pressing the suitcase railing with his other hand: "This is not good."
"What's the matter? I want to be your guide! My little brothers are so handsome, I will definitely not treat me badly, right?" The man used his few idioms reserves, "My surname is Huang, just call me Lao Huang!"
Zhao Mou nodded and said, "Then let's go?"
Yu Xingle was so tired that he didn't have to say anything. Sure enough, with Zhao Mou, he could be the boss.
As soon as Zhao Mou said he would leave, he happily pulled Zhao Yijiu and followed him.
There are not many people in the noodle restaurant, after all, it is not a meal.
Old Huang skillfully ordered the boss's wife, then his eyes dripped, and lowered his voice: "What do you guys call me? It's convenient to tell me what I'm here to do?"
Zhao Mou said: "My surname is Zhao, come here to do a small business."
Lao Huang nodded: "Hey, Mr. Zhao, hey." No matter what he came here for, everyone claimed to be here to do business.
Zhao Mou pointed to the two people beside him again: "You don't need to know who these two are."
Lao Huang suddenly became tight and became more cautious and greedy about his guide business.
It is clear that their identities are indeed not simple, and they don’t even want to say their names.
But these tender skins and tender flesh are so young, what kind of "business" are they here to do...
Zhao Mou looked at him, crossed his legs and said bluntly: "We are going into the mountain, can you do it?"
Lao Huang's eyes suddenly widened.
There are many gray industries in the town, but the most dangerous and profitable ones are all in the mountains.
He thought that these three young people might have some connection with the fight, but he didn't expect to go into the mountain in person as soon as he got up.
The "entering the mountain" here is not just a walk in the mountains and just out!
Lao Huang coughed dryly: "Cough cough, just... you three?"
Zhao Mou sneered: "Don't worry."
He pressed half of the cigarette into the ashtray on the table, and his smile-like eyes immediately "exposed" his danger: "Just say, do you dare to enter the mountain? Let's continue chatting, don't... move your butt away as soon as possible."
Lao Huang shivered.
The afternoon sunlight shone into the restaurant through the window. He saw the young man's hair, which was very soft and well maintained. A certain point of the thin-framed glasses reflected a metallic luster. His mouth was also moist and light. He looked like a noble young man everywhere, but his eyes were filled with cruelty as if he was careless.
It's really a tough guy.
But Old Huang was not afraid, and opened his mouthful of yellow teeth: "Don't worry, I want money but I'm not alive, as long as you give this..."
He rubbed his thumb and index finger together and said, "Why can't you get in the mountains? I said, I have this way!"
"That's good." Zhao Mou curled his lips, "find us a hotel to put things in, and we'll enter the mountain in an hour."
Lao Huang said he would wrap it up with him, but he had to go home to make some preparations.
After a while, Lao Huang and Zhao Mou left their contact information and hurriedly left, leaving three people eating the guests they invited by Lao Huang.
The boss's wife was obviously not surprised by this, so she smiled at them and continued to be busy with her business.
At this time, Zhao Yijiu asked, "Go into the mountain?"
"He thought we were tomb robbers." Zhao Mou explained to his younger brother, "I asked. Most locals have only heard of Sour and County, but they don't know how to go. So I can't really find a place."
He needed a guide to avoid dangers and dead ends in the mountains, which could save him a lot of energy. When he got nearby, he could ask the guide to get out and take Zhao Yijiu and Yu Xing to the county by himself.
Sour and County will have an opportunity to go in and out tonight. One person who can enter is one less, and he doesn't want the guide to be pulled into the dungeon.
Ordinary people enter a copy of this level to seek death. If you don’t talk about this, an ordinary person will suffer a headache because of insufficient experience and fear of how many things a person will ruin.
Zhao Yijiu nodded and said she knew.
Although he can already stand alone in the deduction game, many twists and turns in reality are still not suitable for him. He just wants to be a silent knife.
Yu Xingzheng next to him was talking to Zhao Mou about where to gather with the Siren. Zhao Yijiu turned his head and looked at the mountains in the distance.
In his eardrums, the roar of the tumbling river water was faintly heard, gloomy and violent... very ominous.
