Erosion

Chapter 1 Restricted Area
Jiang Shan opened the booklet with a red cover in his hand, it was very thin, only three or two pages.

When I checked in just now, the front desk gave this brochure together with the room card, but many people didn't care. They thought it was a tourist brochure, and some people just threw it into the trash can.

Jiang Shan turned to the first page, only to see the words on the header: When staying in a hotel, precautions.

[-]. It is forbidden to go out after five o'clock, and you can only move around in the hotel.

Jiang Shan subconsciously glanced at the wind-up clock on the wall. It was just after five o'clock, and now it was five o'clock.

The tour guide is still explaining hard: "Look everyone! The grooves on the cave wall are all formed by natural oxidation. So far, they have a history of thousands of years... until a mysterious rich businessman took over here in the last century. , transformed into a cave hotel.”

Many people saw the cave hotel for the first time, and excitedly raised their cameras to take pictures. With the continuous clicking sound, some people reached out to touch the holes in the grooves, and found that the interior was very smooth, like the surface of pebbles Same.

Some people are amazed, they say that the water drop is millennium but the stone is pierced, which means that this cave really has existed for no one knows how long it has been.

Everyone has experienced a month of exciting and exciting trips, driving cross-country across the desert, skydiving from a height of [-] meters, surfing in the sea, bungee jumping on the mountain, and the cave hotel at the last stop is so unusual.

The tour guide, Xiao Chen, saw the expressions on everyone's faces, rolled his eyes, and suddenly said, "Have you heard about the last tour group?"

Except for Jiang Shan who looked down at the manual, everyone looked at Xiao Chen.

"The last tour group?"

Xiao Chen blinked some cunning eyes:
"I also heard from a team leader that someone in their group secretly left the group at night, climbed up the mountain behind, and came back the next day before boarding the plane. I heard that the whole person was in a daze."

Someone saw the rolling mountains outside through the artificial windows cut in the cave.

"Why, there are monsters on the mountain?" someone joked.

Xiao Chen deliberately paused for a few seconds to whet everyone's appetite, "Then I don't know, I just heard that a few days after his return trip... he suddenly made a huge fortune."

Everyone's mouths are open.

The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth curled up. The ordinary ghost stories these days are no longer attractive to people. It is necessary to add something similar to this kind of attention-grabbing story.

"So some people speculated whether he dug up antiques or the like on the mountain and sold them to make money."

Someone sniffs. "seriously."

Xiao Chen still said magically: "If you don't believe me, just ask anyone in the group and you will know if what I said is true."

At this time, a voice sounded suspiciously: "I remember when I checked in just now, did the hotel staff say that the back mountain is a restricted area and you are not allowed to go there?"

And when they came in, they also saw that the cave hotel was still surrounded by iron nets.

As soon as these words came out, many passengers showed expressions of watching the excitement on their faces.

Xiao Chen chuckled: "I heard that this cave was not allowed to be dug when it was dug here. The rich businessman who bought it is said to be rich as a country. It cost hundreds of millions to renovate this hotel. It was originally planned to penetrate the entire mountain. , forming a hotel around the mountain... tsk tsk, but I don’t know why, it suddenly stopped working, and the back mountain was surrounded, and no one was allowed to enter.”

The more I talk about it, the more curious I am. The most attractive thing about travel is often not the scenic spots, but the mysterious and bizarre stories behind it.

"You mean what is really buried in the back mountain?" Is there a gold mine?antique?treasure?

Jiang Shan frowned, and Jiang Shan was seeing the second item of precautions: the back mountain is a restricted area, and tourists are not allowed to visit it.

But many people were aroused interest.

Xiao Chen continued: "I don't know what, after all, no one has seen it with their own eyes."

The itinerary planning this time is aimed at young people who love to explore, so there are so many exciting projects. At the moment, someone looked at Xiao Chen: "Why don't we go and see?"

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, deliberately not saying anything.

Another person said: "That's right! Go and have a look and you'll know?"

These days, the bold and the timid are starved to death, what if there is really something good on the mountain?Even if you don't, there's nothing wrong with it.Everyone came out to play, so it would be great to add a scenic spot.

Seeing that the bait thrown was caught by someone, Xiao Chen purposely said to whet his appetite: "Do you really want to go? It's getting dark now, so forget it if there are few people..."

Immediately someone raised his hand: "I sign up."

Afterwards, people responded one after another, and everyone came, and everyone didn't want to miss this opportunity.

A smile flashed across Xiao Chen's eyes, but he still coughed dryly: "Those who want to go, come to my place to register before six o'clock, 150 tour guide fees per person, cash Alipay and WeChat transfers are accepted... no waiting when it's overdue."

Listening to the continuous payment prompts, Xiao Chen smiled, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of Jiang Shan sitting alone in the corner.

The little girl happened to be sitting in front of a huge groove, and the shadow of the groove completely covered her thin figure, and she kept silent all the time, so if you didn't pay attention, you couldn't find her sitting there.

Immediately, Xiao Chen's smile faded a little.

As a tour guide, Xiao Chen has experienced what he hates the most this time.

People who go out to travel are basically in groups of two or three friends, only this little girl named Jiang Shan signed up for the group alone.Every time she got off the bus to visit or take pictures at a scenic spot, she was also alone on the side. She didn't bring a camera or take pictures, and just sat there alone in a daze.

I really don’t know what to stay for. At first, Xiao Chen saw her alone as a little girl and wanted to take care of her, but who knew that Jiang Shan was not on the road at all. He worked so hard to lead the group along the way. As a result, all the paid activities , this girl hardly participated, and Xiao Chen really didn't bother to talk to her in the second half of the journey.

If you are poor, why go out to travel? Xiao Chen is already full of swear words in his heart.

But it's the last day, and there's no need to tear your face apart. Xiao Chen still put on a professional fake smile on his face, pretending to persuade Jiang Shandao: "Everyone has signed up, are you really not going? We will return tomorrow, so don't go too long." What a pity."

Jiang Shan's small face was a little pale, and he was still holding the manual in his hand: "Sorry... I'm tired and want to rest early."

Xiao Chen's back molars were itchy, and he forced a fake smile: "Then you stay in the hotel alone, so be careful."

Jiang Shan pursed his thin lips that were also bloodless, and nodded slightly.

Xiao Chen didn't really care about her, he was eager to get rid of this burden, seeing Jiang Shan nodding, he immediately turned his head and raised a smiling face to meet his real God of Wealth.

……

Jiang Shan returned to the room and locked the door behind him.

Xiao Chen led the group of restless passengers to the back door of the hotel and went up the mountain quietly. It was nothing to them to be discovered by the hotel, and they would leave here tomorrow anyway.

Xiao Chen, who only had money in his eyes, and the group of heartless passengers never realized that Jiang Shan was a patient along the way.Even when she dragged down the schedule, she acted quite acrimoniously, and mocked the little girl for being weak by nature.

The purpose of Jiang Shanbao's tour group is to see the outside world in his last days.

As for the cold eyes of the passengers along the way and the dissatisfaction of the tour guide, Jiang Shan, who is dying, will not take it to heart at all.

Jiang Shan took out his own medicine bottle from the interlayer of the backpack, poured all the pills into the palm of his hand, counted them, and there were three pills left in total.After eating today, she is ready to face death.

Putting the medicine in his mouth, Jiang Shanping lay down on the bed.

Jiang Shan put the red manual on the bedside table, and the last page that was spread out read: Please lock the door at night, I wish you all a good night's sleep and a pleasant journey.

Jiang Shan vaguely heard the ticking sound of the old-fashioned clockwork clock on the wall, which seemed to be ten o'clock in the evening.

And Xiao Chen and the group of passengers haven't come back yet, and the whole hotel is as quiet as an empty city...
