But at this moment, around the pit

A yellow and white striped warning tape was put up around the perimeter.

Three or four people in police uniforms were standing around the perimeter, talking in hushed tones.

One of the older sheriffs saw someone emerge from the bushes.

He immediately stopped talking and walked over quickly.

"What are you doing? This area is closed off; tourists should take a detour."

He looked the clone up and down, then glanced at the beautiful woman following behind it.

The beautiful woman reacted quickly, picking up the bamboo basket and shaking it.

He said with a smile that he was picking wild vegetables and also bringing a relative from the city to see the mountains.

The sheriff clearly didn't believe this explanation, and his gaze returned to the clone's face:

"You're here to dig for stones too?"

Bai Sheng readily admitted it.

He said he saw a glowing light band in the mountains of Cangshi County online and came to take a look.

Chapter 57 Temple

How could I not be curious?

Bai Shengrang's clone shrugged.

There was an air of student innocence in his tone.

"It's all over the internet, with all this talk about light trails and stuff. Who wouldn't want to come and take a look?"

The sheriff didn't respond.

He simply raised his hand and pointed upwards.

The clone followed his finger and looked in that direction.

A tin sign was hanging on a branch of an old pine tree.

White background with red lettering:

No entry ahead! Violators will be fined 1000 yuan!

The clone quickly shut its mouth and stood obediently in place.

The sheriff glanced at the clone from head to toe.

His gaze lingered for a moment on the cheap T-shirt and the mud-covered cloth shoes.

"Are you still in school?"

"Yes, I'm still in school."

The sheriff's tone held a hint of impatient tolerance: "He's still a poor student..."

Okay, fine, I won't fine you. Now you can go.

Bai Sheng understood immediately; this outfit, reminiscent of Pinduoduo,

They were a huge help!

This outfit was something he bought on Pinduoduo before.

I bought ten pieces in one go, specifically for my partner to wear.

The total cost of his entire body is less than one hundred yuan.

Once the label of "poor student" is attached,

The sheriff was too lazy to issue a ticket.

He controlled his clone to thank him repeatedly, and was about to turn around.

The sheriff's gaze had already passed over the clone.

The image fell upon the figure in the floral short-sleeved shirt behind them.

His brows furrowed.

"Tsk! It's you again."

The beautiful woman quickly emerged from behind the clone.

A fawning smile plastered on his face:

"I was just picking wild vegetables when this young man asked for directions, so I brought him here to take a look."

The sheriff clearly wasn't buying it.

The tone was stern, as if reprimanding a repeat offender:

"You brought two people over last time, and you brought one more this time!"

If I see you loitering around here again, you'll be punished too.

The beautiful woman responded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes."

He tugged at his clone's sleeve, signaling him to hurry up and leave.

He picked up the bamboo basket and hurried down the mountain.

On the way back,

The beautiful woman walked ahead, her steps hurried.

The bamboo basket swayed back and forth.

I slowed down after walking about half a mile.

She glanced back to make sure it was safe.

Just as he got close to the clone,

"I didn't show you the way just now..."

But I'll tell you something secretly, but don't tell anyone else, okay?

She paused, as if weighing something.

Bai Sheng: "Fine, I won't say anything. Besides, who else can I tell?"

The woman continued, "Well, let me tell you, those stones they dug out were shiny when they were dug up, but they stopped shining when they got them back."

So don't even think about it, it's pointless to dig! Understand?

Bai Sheng was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

This woman may look big and simple-minded, but she's actually quite shrewd.

If outsiders knew, they would know that this is what's called a glowing stone that stops glowing after being dug up.

Then the business of leading the way will not be possible!

High probability,

She had never told any of the tourists about this before.

As for why he was willing to tell Bai Sheng...

I guess I just gave her 100 yuan, and I didn't take advantage of her.

In addition, perhaps it's because Bai Sheng's clone has a really handsome face.

Only after all this did I get this one true statement.

This village woman actually knew exactly what was going on!

Bai Sheng wasn't annoyed; he just smiled and teased her on purpose.

"So you spent all that time talking to me on the mountain just to get me to pay you first before you'd show me the way, right? You even lied to me!"

The beautiful woman, though exposed, didn't blush. Instead, she confidently switched the bamboo basket to the other hand.

"So what? It's not like I didn't lead you to the right place."

"Once you get there, you can dig for yourself. Whether it lights up or not is your problem; I can't guarantee it will still be bright when you dig it up."

After she finished speaking, she walked forward for a few steps, then turned back.

"I'm a man of conscience, so I'm telling you the truth."

Bai Sheng: "..."

……

This expedition was an unsuccessful start.

We didn't get much useful information.

Bai Sheng wasn't in a hurry; this matter couldn't be rushed.

We can only observe slowly, wait for the right opportunity, and proceed gradually.
