Zhou Cheng responded and turned around to leave. After he turned around and left, Xiao Tianhong looked at Chen Ran and said sincerely: "Brother Chen, thank you so much. Thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't know when to find him."
.”
His thank you came from the bottom of his heart. Without Chen Ran, they really wouldn't have known they would have found Monkey Year Horse Moon.
Chen Ran shook his head and said, "Second uncle, what you said is just out of touch."
"Listening to what you said, it seems that my second uncle is having an affair. Well, my second uncle won't be polite to you." Hearing Chen Ran's words, Xiao Tianhong laughed. Now he looked at Chen Ran naturally.
It's pleasing to the eye, and I think it's no wonder that this young man is so valued by He Zhenhua. Let's not talk about other things, just talk about the matter in front of me. It can't be underestimated that so many things can be seen with such a few clues.
"I didn't get enough of the last time I drank with you. Let's have a good time together." Xiao Jun also happily patted Chen Ran on the shoulder.
"Hehe, okay."
Chen Ran agreed wholeheartedly. In fact, he was very happy. Not only did he get the other part of the treasure map, but he also made friends with the Xiao family. After all, the Xiao family owed him a small favor.
, although I still don’t know the background of the Xiao family, I can tell that it has some background without even thinking about it. Favor may be used at some point.
This can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
"Haha, you young people should communicate more." Xiao Tianhong was very happy to see Xiao Jun take the initiative to make friends with Chen Ran. Their Xiao family is not prosperous, and Xiao Jun's generation only has one boy, Xiao Jun. Naturally, the hope of the whole family is also low.
They all pinned their hopes on Xiao Jun. Xiao Jun was quite successful. He joined the army and performed very well. The only bad thing was that Xiao Jun never took the initiative to make friends, so he had almost no friends and even provoked a lot of people.
Young Master, if He Zhenhua hadn't suppressed him, he would have suffered a lot. Now that Xiao Jun is taking the initiative to make friends with Chen Ran, he is naturally happy to do so.
Chen Ran nodded, then said hello to Xiao Tianhong, and ran down the cliff. He asked Guo Hai if they were going to follow or stay here to play, but Guo Hai asked how far they had to run.
Hearing that he had to climb several mountains, he was immediately frightened. He shook his head repeatedly and said that they would go to the Stone Ridge in front to play for a while, and then go back to Stone Lake to wait.
Hearing that they weren't going, Chen Ran felt a little embarrassed. He originally came with them to play, but now he didn't have time to accompany them. Guo Hai and the others could understand him. Seeing his embarrassment, they laughed and scolded him.
Let him get out of here quickly. Since they won't go, we have no choice but to stop them from going.
Although Mu school beauty got along well with Bai Bingyan and the others, it would definitely not feel good to follow Guo Hai and the others without him, so he decided to take Mu school beauty with him. Even if she was tired from walking on the way, she would not feel good.
Being able to carry her on his back would have little impact on him, and besides, there was an energy aura.
Chen Ran asked his uncle and uncle again. His uncle and uncle said they wanted to see if the rabbit snares and traps they had set had any harvest. Guo Hai and the others became interested after hearing about it and said they wanted to do it.
Going to have a look.
With his grandfather and uncle here, Chen Ran felt relieved and asked Zhou Cheng to arrange for two soldiers to follow them. He also called Zi Qilin back to go hunting with them.
As for Xu Hui and the fashionable girl, it has nothing to do with him.
After arranging for Guo Hai and the others, Chen Ran carried the school beauty Mu back to the cliff. When he saw him carrying the school beauty Mu, Xiao Tianhong had no objection, and just laughed and teased him.
Zhou Cheng also called all the people over. In addition to the two soldiers who followed Guo Hai and the two soldiers who stayed in Shihu, there was also a soldier who followed Xu Hui. Including Zhou Cheng himself, there were eight people in total.
.
Including Chen Ran, Mu Xiaohua, Xiao Jun, and Xiao Tianhong, there are twelve people in total.
Zhou Cheng left two soldiers to clear the way for Xiao Jun and Chen Ran, while he led the rest of the soldiers to explore the road first. This arrangement undoubtedly speeded up the journey.
A group of six people passed through the woods full of green fruits to the bottom of the mountain. After crossing a river, Zhou Cheng, who was exploring the road in front, had climbed to one of the tops of the opposite mountain and tied the climbing rope.
Yes, it would be much faster to climb the mountain directly without detours. Of course, the reason why we can climb like this is because the top of the mountain is covered with cliffs with a little grass.
Because Chen Ran brought the beauty of Mu School, Xiao Tianhong and Xiao Jun both let Chen Ran climb first. Chen Ran was not polite to them, tied him and the beauty of Mu School with ropes, and climbed up with the beauty of Mu School on his back.
"Don't look back." When she was halfway up the mountain, Chen Ran felt the body on her back move and quickly reminded her. Although the mountain was not very steep, it was still quite scary when she looked back.
After all, it is more than ten feet tall.
"Yes." School beauty Mu responded softly, hugging Chen Ran like a big stupid bear. Not to mention looking back, she didn't even look up. Her face was pressed against Chen Ran's back.
.
Chen Ran asked without looking back: "Are you afraid?"
"Not so scared."
As the school beauty Mu said, she hugged Chen Ran a little tighter, as if to cheer herself up, and whispered: "As long as you are here, I won't be afraid."
Chen Ran was startled for a moment, and then he couldn't help but laugh. His heart was suddenly full of ambitions. Since ancient times, there has been a saying: "It's the hardest to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman!"
This little silly girl's feelings for him, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear to let her down in his entire life.
About two or three minutes later, Chen Ran climbed to the top of the mountain with Mu Xiaoxiao on his back. Zhou Cheng and a soldier guarding here pulled him up. Because he was carrying Mu Xiaoxiao's girl, Zhou Cheng did not give him anything.
He had no choice but to untie the rope himself. While doing so, he casually asked: "How is it?"
Zhou Cheng was now convinced of Chen Ran. When he heard Chen Ran's question, he quickly reached out and pointed to Chen Ran: "I'm not sure yet. The direction facing the pine tree is this place. I have sent
People went in this direction to check."
Chen Ran nodded, untied the rope around himself, and untied the rope around Mu Xiaohua, and then handed the rope to the soldier standing aside.
"You sit here and take a rest first."
Chen Ran put his coat on a stone and let the beauty of Mu School sit there. He looked back and walked to the direction facing the pine tree on Wusong Mountain opposite.
Viewed from here, the two pine trees fully reflect the tall and straight and vigorous and aloof qualities of the pine trees. In the dark night, it is difficult to distinguish which mountain is which, but these two pine trees can probably be distinguished in the dark night.
See, they are standing there like two giants.
After seeing the direction, Chen Ran turned around and looked forward again. In front of him was a long ridge that looked like a huge elongated stone. This long ridge was a bit low and was blocked by the mountain at his feet.
, you definitely can’t see the two pine trees on Wusong Mountain.
Behind it are the hills one after another. This direction is a long vertical valley, that is, a north-south direction. In this long valley, the tail of the mountain on the left and the top of the mountain on the right intersect with each other, high and low.
, it’s hard to tell which hilltop you can see the pine tree on Wusong Mountain.
Chen Ran recalled the route on the treasure map he got, then climbed to a big tree on the back of the mountain and looked to the left with a telescope, that is, to the east, and saw a horizontal vein there.
That is to say, the mountains running in the north-south direction. This horizontal line is extremely high, and the top of the mountain almost reaches into the sky. Climbing this north-south horizontal line from his direction is obviously the route on the treasure map.
Chen Ran looked at it while confirming it with the route on the treasure map. Finally, his eyes stopped in front of the mountain where he was, that is, to the north. Wusong Mountain is to the south of this mountain, and the north side crosses Changling.
Go over the two hills in that direction, and that's where you'll find the mouth of the long valley.
After such an investigation, Chen Ran was convinced that the place where the bones of Grandpa Xiao Jun were buried was obviously near the mouth of the valley.
Back on the top of the mountain, the beauty of Mu School held a water bottle and greeted him like a daughter-in-law waiting for the man to return home: "Chen Ran, drink some water."
Chen Ran took the kettle with satisfaction and took a big sip. When he saw Xiao Tianhong and Xiao Jun climbing up, he walked over and nodded to them and said, "I took a look and saw that there is this mountain blocking it. Those mountains in front of it,
There are not many mountains where you can see the pine trees of Wusong Mountain. As long as you can find a place where you can see it, it is almost the exact place where Mr. Xiao is buried."
Although he had deduced the specific location, it was difficult to tell. But at this time, there was no need to tell. Zhou Cheng had already sent people to investigate. If he continued to investigate in this direction, he could always find out.
.
Hearing Chen Ran's words, Xiao Tianhong and Xiao Jun both nodded happily. They walked to the position facing the pine tree and took a look with the binoculars. However, it was obvious that they did not gain much. They were not as capable as Chen Ran.
The approximate location was deduced based on the route on the treasure map. In their eyes, at first glance, there was nothing but mountains, and there was almost no difference from standing on Wusong Mountain.
After resting here for a while, a group of eight people set off. Chen Ran, Mu Xiaohua, Xiao Jun, Xiao Tianhong, Zhou Cheng, three soldiers, and the other four soldiers were sent out to search in this direction.
Because this side of the mountain was covered with jungle, we couldn't use ropes and had to go down the mountain step by step. Zhou Cheng led a soldier to open the way and walked for about thirty minutes. When he was almost at the bottom of the mountain, the front
Suddenly Zhou Cheng shouted: "Mr. Xiao, Brother Xiao, Brother Chen, there is news."
Hearing his yelling, Xiao Jun and Xiao Tianhong rushed over almost instantly, climbed up on the big rock that Zhou Cheng climbed up together, and looked over with binoculars.
Chen Ran walked over with Mu Xiaohua on his back, put Mu Xiaohua down, and winked at the two soldiers following him, asking them to watch and not to scare the Mu Xiaohua by the sudden appearance of any snakes. The two soldiers nodded.
Head, one on the left and one on the right standing on both sides of the beautiful women of the Mu School.
Chen Ran climbed up the big rock and looked over with the telescope around his neck. He looked directly towards the mouth of the valley. With just one glance, he saw a big red flag hanging on a mountain on the right side of the mouth of the valley.
.
This is the signal they agreed on. There is no way, there is no signal at all in the mountains, so they can only contact each other like this.
"Found it, found it." Xiao Jun couldn't help but laugh excitedly as he took away the telescope.
Xiao Tianhong and Zhou Cheng were also very happy. Although they could not determine the specific location even if they found the hilltop where Mr. Xiao was buried, the range had undoubtedly been narrowed down.
Chen Ran was much calmer at this time. This was not because he was unhappy when he found the place, but because he had roughly guessed the location of the place before. It turned out that his guess was almost the same, although it was worse.
A little bit of a location, but as expected.
"Okay, let's go, let's get there as soon as possible." Xiao Tianhong was impatient now. He couldn't wait any longer. He jumped down from the big rock and immediately gave orders.
It was Zhou Cheng who led the way, and a group of eight people walked for a few minutes to the bottom of the mountain. After walking for about ten minutes, they crossed the Changling Mountains ahead.
For the road behind, there was no need to go over the mountains because we already had the direction. It was just a matter of going over a few mountains and hills along this long valley. Even so, it took about more than an hour of walking before we finally arrived.
