Deep in the dense forest, a dilapidated two-story building stood erect with difficulty.
Looking from a distance, one can see the ruins and desolation.
Rather than saying that this is a two-story building, it is better to say that it is just the frame of a two-story building. On the walls covered with green plants, you can vaguely see the traces of the building being roasted by the fire.
The windows were hung crookedly on the wall, and the door was open. When you walked inside, you could still smell the pungent smell of smoke. All the furniture was reduced to ashes in the fire.
At this time, Jiang Li was standing on the roof of the building, holding a telescope in his hand and looking into the distance. He didn't know what was there. Jiang Li just watched like this for more than an hour.
Maybe he was tired, or maybe he had seen enough. Jiang Li put away the telescope, jumped lightly, and landed directly on the platform of a room on the second floor, leaving only a dull sound, and then the surroundings returned to calm again.
Jiang Li pushed the door open and entered. This room seemed out of place with this house.
The walls inside are still covered with traces of smoke, but there is an extra tent in the room, and the surrounding area has been cleaned up. Compared to the depression of other rooms, this place has a little more popularity.
Jiang Li opened the tent, took out a backpack from inside, put it on his back, then turned around and left the room from the other side. After a while, Jiang Li appeared in the dense forest, and after a while, he disappeared again.
Half an hour later, a pair of people came from a distance, holding an old map in their hands. They looked at the dense forest with no roads in the distance, looked around and said.
"Did you find the wrong one? There won't be anyone here."
The man said and was about to put the map away, but was snatched away by a young man on the side.
"No one has lived here for seven or eight years. It's so desolate. It's normal. Let's go and have a look. Don't forget, the boss said you must find her."
After saying that, the man put the map away, then took out a dagger from his bag and cut down the surrounding weeds. Four or five people trudged through the jungle.
"It should be here."
Twenty minutes later, the group finally saw a house, but it was basically covered with green plants.
The man who complained at the beginning looked at the two-story building in front of him, frowned and said.
"Can anyone live here? There are so many venomous snakes, insects and ants around here. How dare she, a woman, live here?"
"Hmph, if you have the guts, you can say the same thing when you see her. She's just different in gender from us. In terms of ruthlessness, neither of you are as good as her."
The leading man spoke. The man who had just complained curled his lips and did not speak. As for the other few, their eyes were wandering around, pretending not to hear the words.
Seeing the appearance of these people, the leading man snorted coldly and said nothing.
He knew that these people were unconvinced, but he did not dare to speak because these people had once been defeated by Jiang Li.
"Let's go in and have a look."
After the man finished speaking, he walked into the two-story building.
This building is actually very large, covering an area of about four to five hundred square meters. It used to be the most luxurious place in the neighborhood, but now it is in ruins.
"No, let alone anyone. I don't think there's even a mouse. Boss, if you want me, you should go to the city and look for it. Maybe it's in a hotel."
"You are stupid, but you still don't admit it. Don't forget whose territory this is. Do you think Jiang Li will live in the hotel openly? I can guarantee that after Jiang Li has just checked in, people from Dunan will come to the door ten minutes later.
.”
With that said, the man walked towards the second floor. When passing by the stair landing, he noticed something unusual.
This is the platform between the two floors of stairs. There is also a window here. However, compared to the dust on the first floor just now, there are a few messy footprints on this platform.
"It should be here, go upstairs and have a look."
Several people behind him also discovered the footprints on the platform window and stepped upstairs quickly.
"Boss, there is a tent over here."
Hearing the sound, everyone ran over. The empty room was relatively clean. In the middle, there was a tent and some simple wilderness survival equipment beside it. These were all familiar to them.
"It seems that this is it. We are a step too late."
The man touched the kettle that was still warm and said with some disappointment.
"Hey, let's wait here. All her things are here, and she will definitely come back."
It was the man who complained at the beginning again, but his words were refuted by the leading man.
"No, she is obviously avoiding us on purpose. If we stay, she will definitely find out."
With that said, the man thought for a moment and said.
"In this case, contact the hall master. Let's leave here first and wait at the place where we just came in."
After saying that, the man exited the room, but when he saw the footprints left on the ground, he frowned. With Jiang Li's observation ability, he might have noticed that someone had been here before he even got close.
After thinking for a while, the man said.
"In this case, you leave first, and I will stay alone. After I get out, I will contact the hall master immediately and send him the coordinates here."
The few people nodded. Although they didn't understand why the man wanted to stay, they still followed the instructions and left.
At this time, Jiang Li didn't know that her stronghold had been discovered. She was also holding a map, but the map was marked with various symbols. After a rough look, there were about thirty or so, but among them
Seven or eight of them have already been crossed out.
At this time, Jiang Li was just like an ordinary tourist, following a sightseeing group and listening to the introduction of the local tour guide.
This is a very large coffee planting base. In recent years, Mylai City has also been undergoing transformation, and tourism is an important economic pillar here.
"Okay, then you have two hours of free time. You can sign up to experience a series of tasks such as coffee picking and production. There is also an elephant park over there, and there are some other projects. We will do it in two hours
Let’s gather at the coffee shop over there, and I’ll invite everyone to taste the purest coffee here.”
As the tour guide finished speaking, everyone dispersed.
There are many projects here. As most tourists from big cities, they like to come here to experience a different life.
Jiang Li did not go to the coffee garden, but bought a ticket, got on an elephant, and walked towards the distance under the guidance of the elephant trainer.
The project of riding an elephant to visit the coffee plantation lasted almost an hour and a half and covered a large area. When they climbed over a mountain, Jiang Li took out a telescope from his backpack and looked into the distance.
At this time, the elephant trainer turned around, saw Jiang Li's move, and immediately stopped him.
"You can't use telescopes here, so put them away quickly."
The elephant trainer spoke the local dialect, and Jiang Li could certainly understand it, but now she pretended not to understand and spoke in English with a puzzled look on her face.
"What did you say?"
The elephant trainer was also stunned. His face was clearly Asian, but he thought he was from China, but he was not.
Therefore, the elephant trainer could only speak in broken English.
"You can't use telescopes here."
Jiang Li still asked with an expression of incomprehension.
"Why?"
As he spoke, Jiang Li pointed to the place in the distance where they came just now and said.
"Isn't it possible over there?"
The elephant trainer was half-informed, and coupled with Jiang Li's gesticulation, he understood what Jiang Li wanted to express. He thought for a long time and said something.
"Not over there."
Jiang Li didn't ask further questions. It was obvious that the elephant trainer's English was very poor, but she had already gotten what she wanted.
Just then, she heard the elephant trainer mutter something softly.
"It's really troublesome. I don't know what happened over there?"
He was speaking in the local language, and Jiang Li had good ears and could hear clearly. It seemed that this situation had only happened recently, which made Jiang Li even more delighted.
Jiang Li has been looking for Dunan's residence for the past three days, but has found nothing in the past three days. Some of those places have been abandoned for many years, and in some places, there is no sign of anyone at all.
The place Jiang Li was looking at just now was about two kilometers away from the coffee garden. If I remember correctly, that place was surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place.
An hour later, Jiang Li ended the elephant riding journey and continued to visit the coffee garden with the tour group.
"Mr. Carman, is this coffee garden that big? When I was riding an elephant just now, I saw that there are many mountains over there and the scenery is very good."
Jiang Li talked with the tour guide in fluent English.
After Kaman heard this, a strange emotion flashed across his face, but it was fleeting, and then he said.
"The land in country T is private, and the owner of that mountainous land is someone else."
"Oh, that's right. That's such a pity. Such a beautiful scenery should be developed so that we can still make money."
"Oh, no, that person doesn't care about the money."
"That one? Is he a very famous person here?"
Jiang Li just asked casually out of curiosity, but Kaman stopped answering and shook his head.
"Sorry, I just heard about it."
When Jiang Li saw this, she didn't continue to speak, but she already had a guess in her mind, but now she had a very difficult problem, how could she get close.
He almost died at the hands of Du Nan before. If he suddenly showed up at his door, he might be controlled by Du Nan before finding anything. This is not what Jiang Li wants.
It seems that we need to take a long-term approach, not only to be able to get close to Dunan, but also to allow Dunan to temporarily immobilize himself.
With a general idea in mind, Jiang Li left the tour group in the evening and returned to the abandoned manor.
But before Jiang Li got close to the two-story building, she suddenly felt the presence of a second person in the forest.
I saw Jiang Li swaying, and after a few moments, his figure was like an afterimage, and he climbed a tree directly on the mountain.
The next second, a figure has arrived in this area. Although the other person's face cannot be seen clearly, from the way he walks almost silently, it can be seen that this person's skills are not inferior to his own.
"Jiang Li, it's me, come down, the boss asked me to come here to find you."
