Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 1596 Really no culture
"Don't worry, I have another one here." Liang Kexiu smiled and took out another piece of printing paper, with a colored drawing on it and said:

"This is the satellite map of Longmen Mountain that I took with reference to Master's base map. I have made repeated comparisons and feel that these places are the most likely."

Wan Shugao took it over and looked at it, and saw several red circles marked on the satellite map, which were indeed in the hinterland of Longmen Mountain.The red circle surrounds a mountain peak, and a basin is formed around the mountain peak.

"How far is it from here to that mountain peak?" Wan Shugao asked.

"About 20 kilometers, the mountain road ahead is blocked, and there are five kilometers behind, so we can only go there on foot." Liang Kexiu pointed at the map and said: "If we go into the mountains, we need to make some preparations, bring food and water, and finally It’s better to find a local guide.”

Wan Shugao thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's buy something from this town first."

The two started shopping while looking for a guide in the town.But the town here is still about fifty miles away from the location designated by Liang Kexiu, and none of the locals are familiar with it.

The owner of a store gave advice and said: "The place you are going to is called Wild Ghost Ridge. From here to the west, you have to pass three villages in the mountains. It is the best choice for you to find a guide from the last village. .”

Wan Shugao and Liang Kexiu thought it was reasonable, so they found a car and headed to Yegui Ridge with the purchased items.

When we passed the second village, the mountain road became steeper, with twists and turns, and the car drove like an ant crawling.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that the car entered the third village.With no way to go ahead, the driver turned around and returned without Wan Shugao and Liang Kexiu.

Yegui Ridge is still about ten miles west of here. There is no road, so you can only go there on foot.

Liang Kexiu didn't seem to go out often. She stood in front of the quaint village, looking left and right, without any idea.

"Don't be afraid, Kexiu. Come with me. I have been in the world for many years and have rich experience." Wan Shugao grinned, picked up his equipment, and walked towards the village.

Liang Kexiu felt relieved and followed Wan Shugao.

The stockade is located on the hillside. Due to the influence of the terrain, the arrangement of the houses is irregular and the heights are mixed.

Entering the village from the east end and walking through several houses, I only saw older grandparents and some left-behind children.When I walked to the middle of the village, I saw a sister-in-law in her 30s.

"Hello, sister-in-law, let me ask you something." Wan Shugao walked up with a smile and said, "We are traveling from the city and want to find a guide in your village. Is there anyone suitable? Ah, preferably Orion.”

"What do you mean looking for a guide? The people in the city are really uneducated, that's called a guide!" The sister-in-law rolled her eyes and said in Mandarin, "My husband is a hunter and works as a guide part-time. Come with me."

Wan Shugao's face twitched and he was speechless; Liang Kexiu couldn't help but covered her mouth and snickered.

The sister-in-law's husband was chopping firewood in the backyard. When he heard the guests coming, he hurried out.

At first glance, Wan Shugao saw that he was an elder brother who was nearly forty years old. He was lean and dark-skinned, and looked relatively capable.

"What's your surname, brother?" Wan Shugao hurriedly took out a cigarette and said, "My name is Wan Shugao, and this is my sister Liang Kexiu. We are going to the Wild Ghost Ridge in front of us. Please be our guide."

"My name is Zhao Bing. Are you going to Wild Ghost Ridge?" Zhao Bing frowned and said, "That place is haunted. We usually go around it when hunting and don't go there."

"To be honest, I'm Master Maoshan, and I just go there to catch ghosts!" Wan Shugao held his chest high.

Zhao Bing stared at Wan Shugao for a long time and said, "I don't believe you can catch ghosts."

"Just believe that this is not fake money." Wan Shugao got angry, took out the banknotes from his pocket and said, "Five hundred a day, do you want to go?"

Zhao Bing and his wife summed it up and said: "Okay, five hundred a day, I agreed. But as you said before, if you encounter danger, I will run away first. If you have problems, don't blame me for not saving you."

Wan Shugao grinned and said, "You will know who saves whom when the danger comes!"

Zhao Bing looked at the time and said, "It's a bit late today. We'll go into the mountains early tomorrow morning."

"No, I want to leave immediately." Wan Shugao used money to clear the way and said, "Let's go now, this half day will be counted as your day's wages, and I will give you 500 yuan!"

In order to show his sincerity, Wan Shugao first gave Zhao Bing's wife 1000 yuan, which was regarded as a deposit.

"Okay, wait, I'll pack it up!" Zhao Bing finally agreed and turned around to pack his things.

Twenty minutes later, Zhao Bing packed up his belongings and headed towards the vast mountains with Wan Shugao and Liang Kexiu.

In addition to shotguns and ammunition, Zhao Bing also brought a lot of equipment and a hound.Because there was no shortage of water in the mountains, at Zhao Bing's suggestion, Wan Shugao and Liang Kexiu left some drinking water behind and moved forward lightly.

The mountain road is steep and extremely difficult to walk.

As dusk approached, Zhao Bing led Wan Shugao and Liang Kexiu to a cliff.

If you want to continue moving forward, you must walk along the cliff.

But the path in the middle of the cliff is only one foot wide, and one side is close to the stone wall, and the other side is the cliff. If you are not careful, you will fall to pieces.

"This dangerous road is about a mile long. Do you dare to go there?" Zhao Bing lit a cigarette and said with a sly smile, "If you don't dare to go there, let's go home. Of course, 500 yuan The guide fee is non-refundable.”

It is estimated that in Zhao Bing's heart, he very much hopes that Wan Shugao and the others will go back.In this case, Zhao Bing's 500 yuan can be easily earned.

Liang Kexiu couldn't stand Zhao Bing's cunning, so she rolled her eyes and said, "I grew up in Mount Emei, and I have also walked on roads more dangerous than this."

After that, Liang Kexiu picked up the backpack in his hand, stepped onto the plank road lightly, and walked forward without looking back.

"My hometown is in the mountain city. I have been running in the mountains for decades. I have also walked on more dangerous roads than this!" Wan Shugao sneered and followed Liang Kexiu on the plank road.

Although he is on the fat side, after years of training, Wan Shugao has acquired very good attainments in lightness of body and internal energy, so he can walk comfortably.

Zhao Bing looked at their footsteps and was speechless. He followed them silently with his hound.

After walking through this section of the plank road, it was already dusk.

Liang Kexiu looked around, pointed to the mountain peak in front, and asked: "Brother Zhao, is that Yegui Ridge?"

"Yes, where we are standing belongs to Wild Ghost Ridge. There are still three miles to the main peak in front." Zhao Bing said.

"Is there an ancient temple near Yegui Ridge with a pagoda in it?" Liang Kexiu asked again.

Zhao Bing's expression changed and he said: "The ancient temple is still to the west of the main peak. It is at least ten miles away from here."
