Chapter 546 [The lost person]
“Very good.” Sun Wenxiu was in high spirits, “Bring the gifts you have prepared, and let’s set off immediately. Remember, if things go well, you must be courteous after meeting the immortal.” After speaking, he looked around. When his subordinates saw the sharp eyes of the new boss, they felt apprehensive and became vigilant.
Immediately, someone went to the back, urging the cart that had just parked on the side of the road to come to the village.
Taking advantage of this gap, Sun Wenxiu asked the subordinate who led the way: “I haven’t seen all the information you collected before I rushed here. You said that the source of some information here is probably the village chief of this village? And this Has the village chief ever seen a fairy?”
“Yes.” The other party immediately cupped his hands.
“Then why isn’t he here now.” Sun Wenxiu said softly, and as soon as the words fell, Qi Wen, the leading subordinate, immediately sweated slightly on his forehead, and then knelt down on the ground.
Qi Wen knew that this was an oversight in his work.
was assigned to be solely responsible for the intelligence collection on Yun Zhongshan’s side, and he was to blame for any mistakes. According to the rules, he was afraid that he would not end well. Under the pressure of life and death, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way to defend himself:
“Rong! It is rumored that he has seen an immortal. If he takes him up the mountain together, the subordinates are afraid to leave the impression on the immortal that we have held the village chief hostage here. And when you sent me here, Captain, you told me to keep things secret. Don’t leak any news, the subordinates will always keep it in mind, so “
“Hmm.” Sun Wenxiu thought for a while, then nodded: “It makes sense, get up. You go and invite the village chief over here, I’ll ask some questions.”
“As ordered.”
Qi Wen immediately trotted towards the village behind.
When he came to the stream with a middle-aged man, the carriage carrying gifts had already stopped here, and the clerical and financial manager was taking an old book to count, and by the way ordered people to pack them, and scattered them among the poles, wooden poles, and baskets. class of things.
“I’ve seen business trips.”
It was Lin Hai, the head of Linxi Village, who came here. He was very disturbed when he saw these people.
Sun Wenxiu took a step forward, smiled what he thought was amiable, and said, “Don’t be nervous, the village chief. I came here because I wanted to find the immortal in Yunzhong Mountain. I heard that you had seen an immortal in the past. Is it true?”
“Ah…” Lin Hai hesitated a little, and then said the facts: “There is such a thing, it must have been twenty years ago.”
“May I ask what the immortals in the mountains look like? Where do they live?” Sun Wenxiu was secretly delighted, and immediately asked.
“Look… I can’t tell. It’s not that I have forgotten how old I am. Anyway, I just think it is very kind. I have met many people in the village, but they all feel this way. As for the immortal’s residence, it is in this mountain. I once went up to the Xianqi Cliff in the past, and it was very beautiful, but I have never heard of anyone going up it in these years.”
“Oh?” Sun Wenxiu relied on professional sensitivity, and immediately caught something unusual: “No one has gone up there again, what do you mean?”
“Oh, these years, people often come to Yunzhong Mountain to look for immortals. I haven’t heard of anyone who really went up. They just go in and wander around and come out without knowing why. There are also those who are determined and will come out when they are very thirsty. , so if you really want to go to the mountains to find immortals, it is better to bring more water and food.”
“So that’s how it is…” Sun Wenxiu thought for a while, and after confirming it immediately, he understood many suspicious items written in the information. However, he did not give up, but told the people next to him: “Go to the village immediately to buy more dry food, and buy more utensils that can hold water for carrying.”
After the people next to him took the order to leave, he turned to Lin Hai and said, “We have a reason to go in, thank you for the village chief’s guidance. I don’t know where the Xianqi Cliff is? How should we go after entering the mountain?”
Lin Hai saw that the man in front of him had a firm tone and was on a business trip, so he didn’t say anything to dissuade him, but replied truthfully:
“Xianqi Cliff is very close to here. I climbed over two hills and came to the bottom of Xianqi Cliff. But the last time I went up was 20 years ago, and I detoured from the mountain to the edge of the cliff. Now the journey It has long been blocked, and the valley under the cliff seems to have turned into a dense forest.”
After asking some more details, Sun Wenxiu repeatedly asked Lin Hai not to reveal the things about her visit. Then he ordered Qi Wen to send Lin Hai back and wait in the village for his return.
Then, he waved his hand and led the team forward.
Soon, the long line of brocade-clothed men carrying baskets and shoulder poles disappeared on the road leading to the mountains behind the village. Lin Hai didn’t go far, but let Qi Wen go back by himself. He stood by the village, watched these people disappear, then turned around and got off the bridge over the stream, and went back to the village.
A lot of people came to buy pills today, and a new batch of porcelain bottles ordered will arrive in these two days, and a new batch of wooden boxes made by the Douli Village at the foot of the mountain is almost finished, so people have to go to inspect the goods, not to mention there are There are many things about the medicine field and the processing of medicinal materials, so we can’t delay for too long.
Feeling and enjoying his busyness, Lin Hai was thinking about the things to be done when he heard someone greet him:
“Brother Lin, who are those people?”
Hearing this, Lin Hai raised his head and found that it was Hu Yun, the school teacher in the village.
For this Mr. Hu who is teaching the village children in the school, Lin Hai has mixed feelings, both respect and gratitude. What I respect is that the other party is knowledgeable, decent and cheerful, very popular with the villagers, and also the teacher of my children; I am grateful that the other party gave me the “Crock Pot Prescription”, which has found a new way for Linxi Village. way out.
After thinking about it, Mr. Hu is not an outsider, and he has also seen these people, saying that it is not a breach of contract, so Lin Hai said:
“There are some people who are going to the mountains to seek immortality. It is estimated that there will be another group of people who will return without success.”
“So that’s how it is.” Hu Yun frowned, looked at the direction these Jinyi men were heading for, waited for a few breaths, shook his head, and walked towards the school. There was a small iron bell hanging on the big locust tree outside the school. He pulled the rope and knocked for more than ten times before entering the classroom and spreading out the books to prepare for the lecture.
…………
Four days later.
“Damn it, we’re back again!” Sun Wenxiu said angrily, and then he slammed the scabbard in his hand on the ground with a crackling sound, and then sat down on the thick fallen leaves.
Here is the mark he made, but he went around and came back here again.
After leaving Linxi Village, they started off very smoothly. They were all young and strong men with kung fu. Even with many expensive gifts, their speed over mountains and mountains was not slow, and they quickly passed two villages. On the top of the mountain, I saw the Wanren Gaoya faintly visible in the clouds and mist.
Thank you Yuechenyun for the reward
