At this time, Zhan Sihan and Yingzi took a few steps forward and were stunned.
It turns out that there is really no road ahead, it is actually a cliff.
Below the cliff is a large expanse of lush dense forest that reaches as far as the eye can see.
"When...we actually went up the mountain?" Yingzi said incredulously.
They always thought they were walking on a flat bottom, but unknowingly they had climbed up a mountain and it seemed that they had climbed quite high!
"Well, I told you, there is no road here. You didn't listen to me. Now you know I didn't lie to you!" The old man came over at some point and said with dissatisfaction in his voice.
"Thank you, uncle! We thought you were joking with us just now. We walked for so long and went up the mountain unknowingly. We all felt very strange! But obviously, we are on the flat ground.
He’s walking!”
Zhan Sihan smiled politely at the old man. The old man seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here. Maybe he was someone who had lived here for a long time.
"Haha, this is so normal! People who have been here think that this place is still magical. They feel that they are clearly walking on the ground, but how come they reached the sky while walking? Do you also feel the same? Let me tell you
Well, the terrain here is very strange. There are cliffs on this side, but there are long slopes on the other side. This is so long that it makes people climb up the mountain without feeling! Your walking is also a coincidence.
, we were walking in the middle of this road, how did you know you were going up the mountain?"
The old man said with a smile, he didn't look like a bad person.
"So, everyone who comes here has encountered such a situation?" Zhan Sihan continued to ask.
"Yes, yes, old man, I have been collecting medicine here for so many years. I have met all kinds of people who come here, and they are all very surprised! In fact, old man, I was also very surprised when I first came here, but as time went on,
, I don’t feel this way! In fact, let me tell you, there are still many strange things in this forest. If you have been here for a long time, you will know!"
The old man said this and turned around to leave.
Zhan Sihan hurriedly stopped him, "Uncle, I just heard you say that you have lived here for a long time, right? Then you must be very familiar with the surrounding terrain?"
"Around here, hey, I am not bragging to you, I can walk out even with my eyes closed! What is familiar cannot be more familiar! But why do you ask this?" The old man looked at Zhan Sihan and asked.
"Uncle, I think we are all from the same country. Since we meet here, we are destined to be together. I won't hide it from you. I came here to find Lushan, but we lost our way and can't tell the difference.
We need to know the direction. The compass in our hand is no longer useful. I wonder if you can help us point the direction!"
Zhan Sihan said hurriedly and respectfully.
"I like to hear this. We are indeed from the same place. To be honest, when I reminded you just now, you didn't listen to me at all. I thought you didn't understand! Now I know,
You guys don’t believe my old man’s words!” The old man shook his head and said.
"Since you doubt me, why don't you let me show you the way? Aren't you worried that I will harm you?" the old man said.
"It was our fault just now. We shouldn't have distrusted you. Now we know we were wrong! But uncle, you can't blame us entirely. After all, this is a public forest, and the dangers in this kind of place are inherently greater than those in other places.
.We are not familiar with the place here, so naturally we have to pay more attention! After all, we really didn’t expect that this place is already on the mountain..."
Zhan Sihan's words were very sincere. After hearing this, the old man's unhappy expression became much relieved. He nodded and said, "Well, what you said makes some sense. Forget it, now that it's over, I will
No more pursuing it, you just said, where are you going?"
The old man looked at Zhan Sihan and asked.
"Lushan!"
"Lushan?! Since you are going to Lushan, how did you get here? If you continue walking like this, you will only get further and further away from Lushan Yulai!" The old man pointed in another direction, "Lushan is over there, how far away is it?
There is still at least one day's journey here! Fortunately, you met me, otherwise, you would have walked a lot of wasteful roads! Oh, no, maybe you won't be able to reach Lushan Mountain!"
The old man looked somewhat contented.
"Uncle is right. We are very lucky to meet you. I wonder if you can help us?" Zhan Sihan's attitude was still very respectful. He looked at the vast mountains and said, "The terrain here is complicated. We are new here.
I really don’t know which way to go, so I’d better ask uncle for help and be a guide for us!” Zhan Sihan said very sincerely.
"It's okay to show you the way, but I might not be able to be your guide. I still have a lot of things to do, so I don't have time to be your guide!" The old man immediately shook his head and refused.
"Uncle, do you want to tell your family? It's okay, we can accompany you back to tell your family..."
"No, my old man is just a loner. I don't have much family, so I live alone! But I don't have time to be your guide. I have to dig up medicinal herbs to sell money to treat my son's illness!"
There seemed to be some complaint in his expression, as if talking to them here for so long had delayed him from doing a lot of things.
"Uncle, are you digging herbs here just to sell them for money to treat your son's illness?" Zhan Sihan asked, but he was already making quick calculations in his mind, "Since you are here to make money, if you serve as our guide,
Take us to Lushan and I'll give you 100,000 yuan, what do you think?" Zhan Sihan asked the old man with a smile.
"One hundred thousand yuan? You're kidding, right?" Hearing Zhan Sihan's words, the old man looked at him in disbelief, as if he had heard a joke that surprised him.
"I'm not joking. I will do what I said. Otherwise, I will give you this watch as a mortgage first. What do you think?" Zhan Sihan said, taking off the watch from his wrist and handing it to the old man.
"Master, this watch..."
This watch is a limited edition worldwide and is worth tens of millions, which is much more expensive than 100,000 yuan.
"Master?" The old man was stunned when he heard Yingzi addressing Zhan Sihan, then looked at Zhan Sihan and took the watch.
