Chapter 177 Zhong Lin is ready to go to the invitation
Zhong Lin was stunned for a moment, looking at the kind eyes that only elders and relatives showed by Xue Xiaojie's father, which only the elders and relatives, suddenly a feeling of inexplicable emotion surged in his heart! Because of that look and tone he had only seen in his grandfather's eyes before, and then in other people's father's eyes, but those eyes were all looking at their children, not him!
After staring for four or five seconds, Zhong Lin said: "Uncle Xue, thank you for your reminder. It's okay, I believe my judgment! Besides, even if she is a bad person, why bother? Am I still afraid of her?" Zhong Lin said as he shot two rays of light in his eyes. It can be seen that he had made up his mind and had to go.
"Captain Wang, I don't know where the Xuanshan is. Can you find someone to take me and point me in the direction?" Zhong Lin looked at Village Chief Wang and said firmly. Although his eyes had eased at this time, the cold afterglow still made Village Chief Wang shudder.
"This..., hey!" Village Chief Wang sighed at the sight of Zhong Lin leaving, and then said, "Xiao Zhong, since you have to go, there is no need to find someone else. Let me take you there..."
Village Chief Wang said as he stood up. He had been a soldier and always maintained his decisive spirit.
Everyone has a curiosity. Even if you often hear people say that "curiosity kills cats", curiosity is also a manifestation of curiosity. Only with curiosity can people's desire to explore and obtain more unknown information.
The masked woman had a sense of mystery and many unsolved mysteries. Not only that, Zhong Lin also wanted to see what she had to discuss with him, so she decided to go to Xuanshan Pass to make an appointment.
"I, I want to go too..." Seeing that there seemed to be no way to stop Zhong Lin from "taking the appointment", Xue Xiaojie, who had been lowering her head since she realized that she had just lost her composure, finally raised her head and said in a low voice.
"Sister Xiaojie, don't go, just go with Lark and I."
"Yes, Sister Xiaojie, our boss is very capable, you don't have to worry."
The plum blossom bird and the lark looked at each other and frowned at the same time. They had already seen it. Xue Xiaojie in front of her was already moved by Zhong Lin, and had also reminded Zhong Lin intentionally or unintentionally that she already had a girlfriend, but now it seems that she has not played a big role.
"Yes, Xiaojie, since there is danger there, it is naturally inappropriate for you to go. If nothing happens, I will be back soon." Zhong Lin said, looking at the plum blossom and the lark and said, "You two don't have to follow you. Stay here before I come back, in case the islanders have any fish that misses the net or make a comeback."
"We..." Plum Blossom and Lark originally wanted to say something, but after seeing Zhong Lin's firm eyes, they swallowed the words that had already reached their mouths.
"Brother Biao, go with us."
"Ah! Me? OK! OK!"
When Xiong Jianbiao saw Zhong Lin pointing to his head, he suddenly bounced from the stool excitedly. He was still worried about Zhong Lin bringing the plum blossoms and larks to Qingshui Town this time without him. He was wondering if Zhong Lin didn't bring him here because of the last time "Xue Xiaojie jumped off the building". Now that Zhong Lin calls him again, he ordered him to take him without the plum blossoms and larks. He was really a little excited.
After a little preparation, under the leadership of Village Chief Wang, the group of three walked towards the direction of the Xuanshan Mountain, which was listed as a forbidden area by the locals.
It takes a mountain to cross from Beiwangzhuang Village to Xuanshan. Although the mountain is not very high, it is densely packed with forests. It is estimated that few people go there, so there is no road at all. Zhong Lin and the other three spent nearly an hour to finally climb to the top of the mountain.
“There is the Xuanshan Pass…”
Village Chief Wang gasped and said, pointing his finger at the northwest direction of their location - a misty valley in the mist.
"Okay, Village Chief Wang, thank you!"
"You kid, why are you so polite? You save the lives of the whole village. Not to mention leading you a way, even if I let me enter the Xuanshan with you, I will go..." Village Chief Wang said firmly.
"Uncle Wang, how can I let you take risks?" Zhong Lin said, turning to Xiong Jianbiao and then saying, "Brother Biao, please protect Uncle Wang and return the same way now. I can leave myself if I go."
"Ah...ah?!" Xiong Jianbiao was a little at a loss after hearing Zhong Lin's words, because he originally thought that Zhong Lin would let him follow him all the way to the Xuanshan Pass, which was the place he made an appointment with the masked woman. But he didn't expect that just as soon as he got here, Zhong Lin asked him to go back. It was obvious that the only purpose of Zhong Lin asking him to accompany him was to let him protect Village Chief Wang back.
"Boss, it's fine if you don't bring me to Qingshui Town this time. Let me go to Xuanshan Pass now!" Xiong Jianbiao frowned and said with some grievance.
"Brother Biao, I'm afraid there will be danger at the Xuanshan Pass. The reason I didn't say it just now is that I'm afraid everyone will worry..."
"What's wrong with the danger? I, Xiong Jianbiao, are you afraid of death?" Before Zhong Lin finished speaking, Xiong Jianbiao said anxiously.
"Yes, Xiao Zhong, I'm not afraid either. Just continue to let me lead you." Village Chief Wang also said.
"As the saying goes, 'It's easy to go up the mountain and it's hard to go down the mountain'. We just took about an hour to go up the mountain. Now it will take two or three hours to get from here to Xuanshan Pass. If that happens, it will be dark there. Now I already know the place, so it's better to go it myself. Maybe I'll go back before you get home."
Seeing Zhong Lin say this, Village Chief Wang did not insist anymore, but Xiong Jianbiao still had a dissatisfied expression.
"Go back. If there is nothing else, I might really get home earlier than you. If there is something to deal with, I will go back at this time tomorrow at the latest. Even if I don't go back, I will send back the news." After Zhong Lin said this, his figure flashed and disappeared from the eyes of Xiong Jianbiao and Village Chief Wang.
"Boss..."
When Xiong Jianbiao realized it, there was no shadow of Zhong Lin. He didn't even see clearly which tree Zhong Lin disappeared from, so he could only stomp his feet...
Let go of Xiong Jianbiao and Village Chief Wang and talk about Zhong Lin. What he said is not an exaggeration. If he just went to the Xuanshan Pass to get something like a courier and went back, it would definitely be faster than Xiong Jianbiao and Village Chief Wang. This kind of forest may be difficult for ordinary people to travel through, but it is a piece of cake for Zhong Lin. It took less than twenty minutes before Zhong Lin had arrived at the Xuanshan Pass.
The so-called Xuanshan Pass is actually a valley. There is a big mountain on both sides of it. It is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, and it is impossible to see what is behind the clouds and mist. It was not until this time that Zhong Lin understood why there was a "xuanshan". Because from here, there happened to be a mountain standing on the opposite side. What's even more strange is that the mountain is actually a small place close to the clouds and mist below, and the top is large, giving people the feeling of hanging upside down from the sky.
"You're here!"
Just as Zhong Lin was surprised by the hanging mountain in front of him, a sound suddenly sounded. Zhong Lin remembered this sound. Its owner was the masked woman he met at the Shili Taolin auction that day, and the person who asked him to come today.
Zhong Linxun looked out and saw a person walking out from behind a big tree in the front right. At first glance, Zhong Lin was stunned because he said it was a human because Zhong Lin heard someone talking. If the person had not spoken, Zhong Lin would really think that he had seen a phoenix.
The man's clothing can only be described in two words, that is "beautiful". She saw her hair tied up high, fixed on her head with a very exquisite carved phoenix hairpin, her face was still covered with a veil, and she was wearing a colorful dress with flowers and bird patterns. The skirt just reached her knees, revealing a piece of white calves as white as onion, and her feet were wearing a pair of colorful cloth boots. The phoenix crown and the clothing looked like a beautiful phoenix from a distance...
“Have you seen enough?”
Seeing Zhong Lin looking at him with his eyes curled up, the masked woman coughed lightly, and her words were so gentle and pleasant. As she spoke, the person had already walked lightly to Zhong Lin.
"That... by the way, is there anything wrong with you calling me over?" Zhong Lin scratched his head and asked embarrassedly.
"Can't you call you here if you have nothing to do?" The masked woman said with a "giggle". As her laughter, the phoenix crown headdress on her head trembled slightly as if she was alive. Because of the light veil, Zhong Lin could not see the expression on the masked woman's face.
"This..." Zhong Lin was a person who didn't know how to joke, so he was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. He stammered for a long time before he found a topic and said, "By the way, thank you for killing the islander for helping us last time."
"You're welcome, that's just a simple task! Besides, didn't you help me when you were in the hotel?" The masked woman said while pulling the corner of her clothes with her hands. Then the two fell into silence.
