Liu Ting walked into the pavilion with a smile. She was still wearing the same clothes as when she was at Li Sanjiang's house. They were simple and loose, which was convenient for work. If you didn't know, you would think she was a cook who didn't know the rules and wandered out from the kitchen of the club.

"I heard that Xiaoyuan is here?"

Liu Yumei raised her head slightly towards the southwest corner. Liu Ting looked in that direction and saw a boy and a girl sitting next to each other on a stone bench.

That location, with a lotus pond on the left and a high view of the mountain city on the right, was a great place to enjoy the scenery.

The boy was talking very attentively.

The girl leaned sideways, holding her chin with both hands, looking at him with sparkling eyes, and listening carefully.

Whenever the boy laughed, the girl would also raise the corners of her mouth. When the boy spoke excitedly and opened his hands unconsciously, the girl would also shake her head slightly to cooperate.

In the past, in daily life, the boy gave Liu Ting the impression that he looked cute and lively, but in his bones he was mature and steady, which was inconsistent with his age. He would play with people of the same age, but people with discerning eyes could still see a sense of alienation, a kind of tolerance from top to bottom.

Now, he actually sat on the haystack like a little boy in the village, and told the story with great interest: "I will tell you a secret, you must not tell others, I will tell you yesterday..."

As for her own A Li, she was not like she used to be. No, the fact is that before the boy came here, she was still cold, but when the boy came, she was like a normal little sister who was ignorant of the world, and was always so curious and admired the stories told by the brother in the yard.

Liu Ting sighed: "Our A Li and Xiao Yuan, it's really unexpected that they can play together."

"Hehe, children are all like this."

Liu Ting just covered her mouth and chuckled, and did not dare to deliberately ask: Which child can be like these two children?

She knew the old lady's stubbornness, but that didn't stop her from having some fun, to see how long the old lady could hold on.

"When I came here earlier, I saw a woman making a fuss in the front hall. It was the youngest son of Ding Laoer. He had just left the main wife and wanted to help the pregnant woman from outside to take the position. Today was the official meeting."

Liu Yumei asked, "Is Ding Laoer willing to meet him?"

"I didn't want to, but I couldn't resist the youngest son's pleading, so I nodded."

"Then the Ding family, I'm afraid there won't be many years of good times. When Ding Laoda was around, they could barely maintain the rules, but now that Ding Laoda is gone, this huge frame is probably not far from falling. Alas, it's a joke, even the matter of favoring concubines and killing wives can be put on the table."

"Look at what you said, after all, the times are different."

"Yes, the times are different, but some principles remain unchanged. We cannot enjoy the benefits of the old school while clamoring for the freedom of the new school.

People, it doesn't matter if the legs are long or short, but if the two legs want to walk separately, they will definitely fall."

"Ding Laoer told me about it, I hope you can give me a favor and drink a bowl of tea offered by the younger generation."

"Tea?"

Liu Yumei smiled and pointed to the boy and girl who had finished chatting and started playing chess in the air:

"Call the two children, it's time for dinner."

Liu Ting turned around, stood at the edge of the pavilion and shouted to the other side:

"It's time for dinner!"

Li Zhuiyuan directly "threw in" and stood up holding the girl's hand.

After being away from home for many days, the boy seemed to hear homesickness in Aunt Liu's call.

After passing through the lotus pond, we walked along the winding path into an open-air stone gate. Inside, there were various potted plants placed on the stone platforms, all of which were trimmed and designed exquisitely. They must be taken care of regularly by a special person.

Along the way, Aunt Liu took the initiative to introduce Li Zhuiyuan, as if they were visiting a scenic spot.

At the end, there were two steps, one going up and the other going down. Ding Laoer led a group of sons and was walking down quickly from the top.

His eldest brother originally had a son and a daughter, but both died earlier than the old man, so the Ding family had been set up as a second branch very early.

Ding Laoer had five sons, born to three mothers. The age difference between the wives was very large, which led to a greater difference between the sons. Ding Laoer's eldest grandson was two years older than his youngest son.

The closer he was to Liu Yumei, the more smiling Ding Laoer was, almost flattering, and he bowed lower.

"Young Madam."

This title was indeed not so suitable for Liu Yumei's age.

But Li Zhuiyuan heard that the Ding family should be a branch of the former Qin family.

It's like going to a couple's home. If you are close to the man, you call the woman's sister-in-law, and if you are close to the woman, you call the man's brother-in-law.

"Young Madam, you haven't been out for a long time. It's rare for you to come out and show your face. I will lead the young men in the family to meet you. Please go upstairs and take a seat. Let the young men serve tea to you."

The second-generation males followed and stood in a row, with flattering smiles on their faces.

As for the female relatives, they all stayed on the steps and stood in a row. The rest were dressed appropriately with their hands clasped in front of them. The one at the end had wavy hair and thick makeup. She held a bag in her left hand and a string of beads in her right hand.

She was "standing out from the crowd", but these decent chickens were not good things in Liu Yumei's eyes. She could teach but didn't, and could give advice but kept silent. It was obvious that she wanted to embarrass her when meeting foreign guests.

It's normal to fight in a private house. If you expose the bad things in the house to the public, it can only mean that the rules of this family are rotten.

"No need. They are all ugly and ugly. There's nothing to see."

This statement really didn't give any face at all.

Many people present changed their expressions.

Ding Laoer and his eldest son both showed panic.

The other sons were dissatisfied, especially the youngest one, who opened his mouth as if he wanted to curse, but was pulled back by the eldest brother beside him.

The women standing above also had their chests heaving. Taking advantage of the distance, they began to mutter in a low voice. Bolangjuan thought he had found a good opportunity to blend in with the sisters-in-law, and immediately raised his voice:

"Oh, I thought you were a lady from a certain family, you are really so arrogant, coming here, eating and living in other people's houses, and even being arrogant!"

"Plop!"

Ding Laoer knelt down in fear.

The eldest son also knelt down, but a little slowly, after all, he was not as skilled as his father in kneeling.

Seeing this, the remaining sons were stunned for a moment, and then followed suit. Even the youngest son who had been the most indignant before finally came to his senses and knelt down together.

The wave-curl who had just spoken at the back opened her mouth but could not make a sound. She realized that she had made a big mess.

Ding Laoer immediately said to his youngest son angrily: "Tell that bitch that she will never be able to enter the Ding family in her life, and the child in her belly will never be named Ding!"

The youngest son did not dare to refute after hearing this.

Ding Laoer raised his head again and looked up: "Young Madam, I..."

"I am not interested in your family's mess. Let's go to pay tribute to your brother."

Liu Yumei walked around the people kneeling in front of her and walked down the steps. From beginning to end, she did not even look at the wave-curl.

The cicadas in summer are indeed annoying, but who has the time to really look for which cicada is calling?

There is a relatively wide platform below, with several round tables in the front hall, where a group of old people are sitting, and there is one standing behind each old man.

The closer the old man is to the main seat, the younger the people following him are, obviously their grandchildren. There are two people sitting on the left and right of the empty seats, and the people standing behind them are actually grandchildren, who are about the same age as A-li.

The older the old man is, the older the people behind him are. Some of them are obviously sons, and they have white hair on their heads.

The ancestral home of the Qin and Liu families is on the river, but if you really count, Shancheng is one of their hometowns, and the people here are all "relatives" of the two families in Shancheng in the past.

As soon as Liu Yumei came over, everyone stood up, threw down their crutches, and pushed away the support of the young people behind them.

Some leaned forward with their right arms to perform the old salute, some raised their thumbs to perform the door salute, and some knelt down directly like Ding Laoer just now. All kinds of etiquette represent their different identities and positions in the past.

Even the address is divided into two types:

"Hello, young lady."

"Hello, young lady."

Liu Yumei stood still and accepted their salute.

Then he waved his hand and said with a smile: "What era is it now? This old-fashioned thing is not popular anymore. It has been out of fashion for a long time."

Everyone smiled when they heard this.

Some old people even turned back to look at the younger generation they brought with them, showing off like a child.

They have not used this old etiquette for a long time. First, it is indeed out of fashion. Second, they don't really meet anyone who can perform the etiquette at home.

But after bowing, they really felt like reminiscing about the past, as if they and others were suddenly several dozen years younger.

The two old men who brought their grandchildren spoke one after another: "Miss, my old bones are only useful when I pay my respects to you."

"Madam, when it comes to flattery, I admire this old dog."

"Hahaha."

"Hahaha."

Liu Yumei put her left hand on A Li's shoulder, but leaned towards Li Zhuiyuan, pointed at the two old men and introduced them:

"This one is Zhen Mubai, and that one is Su Wenluo."

Liu Yumei only introduced these two. Obviously, the others were not qualified for her to introduce their names individually.

Li Zhuiyuan smiled and bowed slightly: "Hello, Grandpa Zhen." Then he bowed slightly again, "Hello, Grandpa Su." Finally, he bowed deeply to all the old men, "Hello, all the grandfathers."

The old men responded enthusiastically, and while various compliments rang out, they each muttered in their hearts, who is this boy?

They all knew that the girl next to them was the only remaining bloodline of the Qin and Liu families. Could it be that this boy was a child husband specially brought by the young lady (the eldest lady) to be trained?

However, the old people present were all of the same age as Jiang Li Wangba, and they could naturally see the kind of neither humble nor arrogant temperament exuded by this child.

It is easy to dress up, but it is difficult to change temperament.

What can be taught and what is truly calm from the heart cannot be hidden from their eyes.

In fact, even Liu Yumei was quite surprised by the boy's reaction.

The reason why she asked the boy to call people was because A Li could not speak yet.

Liu Ting, who was standing behind, watched this scene silently. She really wanted to know how long her respected mistress could be stubborn.

This kind of meeting occasion is the handover of personal connections and the transmission of human feelings.

How can this be the treatment that future registered disciples can enjoy?

"I'm going to pay my respects to the old thing surnamed Ding."

Liu Yumei walked through the front hall to the back hall, and the old people followed behind her.

The mourning hall was set up in the back hall. Because of Liu Yumei's arrival, it was specially maintained and cleaned. Although she had passed away for more than a month, it looked like she had just passed away yesterday and was holding a funeral.

At this time, Ding Laoer came running from the side corridor with his eldest son.

Ding Laoer knelt on the futon, ready to return the gift, and his eldest son personally took the incense and handed it to him.

Combined with the reactions of the old people during the previous ceremony, Li Zhuiyuan guessed that the Ding family should have belonged to the Qin family's servants in the early years.

Liu Yumei stayed at the Ding family, which was a servant's house. As a servant, she naturally had to kneel to the master.

Although it was an old custom, there were still old people who still recognized it.

Of course, the reason they recognized it was definitely not because they respected "traditional customs".

Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but wonder, the Qin Liu family is now so sparsely populated, what else can make these old people continue to willingly bow their heads and pick up the old custom?

Liu Yumei lit the incense and inserted it into the incense burner.

He took two steps back and looked at the futon in front of him.

Ding Laoer immediately kowtowed and said, "Young Madam, no, my brother can't accept your gift."

Many old people behind him also persuaded him that this was against the rules.

Liu Yumei didn't insist on saluting, but looked at Li Zhuiyuan: "Xiaoyuan, it should have been A'li who took my place, you just have to work hard and take A'li's place.

Ding Laoda was also a man in his day, even I, the grandmother, had to look up to him."

"Yes."

Li Zhuiyuan stepped forward and began to worship.

To be honest, this set of procedures, even if Li Sanjiang, an old man, came, it was far less professional than the boy.

There is no way, one is a local custom school, and the other is a senior and sophisticated school. The boy didn't read so many books for nothing.

After the worship, Ding Laoer began to return the gift. He raised his left thumb, clenched his right hand, and rose up, then crossed it in front of him, and finally swung his arms down.

This is the door etiquette.

Liu Yumei was just about to say that Xiaoyuan didn't understand these.

The boy raised his right little finger, held it with his left hand, and leaped down, then bent his arms in front of his chest and nodded three times to accept the greeting.

The elderly people around him all showed appreciation and reminiscence.

Liu Yumei immediately looked puzzled. Who taught him?

In fact, the beginning of "Qin's Observation of Dragons" records that this set of movements is the Qin family's internal etiquette, but it originated from the earliest observation of Feng Shui and weather. In other industries, there are similar operations that do not use tools but only use gestures to match the sight to measure distance and direction.

Ding Laoer performed the lower greeting, and the python walked; Li Zhuiyuan performed the upper greeting, and the dragon guarded the door.

The boy naturally knew that Liu Yumei would suspect him after he did it. He did it on purpose. He had been admitted to Haihe University in advance, and A'li was recovering better and better. Some things would come to light sooner or later.

He would definitely tell Liu Yumei about the advanced understanding and cognitive methods of "Qin's Observation of Dragons" and "Liu's Qi-Watching Secret" in the future.

Ding Laoer's face was full of tears. At least at this moment, he was not pretending. He was really expressing his true feelings.

Because this scene reminded him of the scene when he followed his eldest brother to pay respects to the masters of the Qin family. He was still young at that time, and his eldest brother was also young.

The head of the family who was not good at managing the family and was easily influenced by the soft affection of his youngest son was a little confused, and such people were mostly emotional and sensitive in their bones.

At this time, Zhen Mubai and Su Wenluo, who were standing behind him, looked at another old man at the same time. His surname was Sheng. He sat at the end before and was originally a servant of the Liu family.

Old man Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead unconsciously, then turned his head to look at his son beside him and pointed at him: "Go."

His son's hair was half white. At this time, he walked out of the crowd and began to perform the Liu family's door ceremony to Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan noticed that Liu Yumei's eyes were slightly narrowed. Obviously, the old man was angry.

When a lion is tempted, no matter how it reacts, in the eyes of outsiders, the lion is already weak.

This is the world of Jianghu, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, even if they are respectful on the surface, there are still undercurrents in private.

The two old people just wanted to test what position Liu Yumei arranged for the boy, which forced the Sheng family to step forward.

Liu Yumei turned from anger to laughter: "Xiaoyuan, what are you standing there for, return the gift."

Although she didn't know where the boy learned the Qin family's etiquette, Liu Yumei believed that since he knew the Qin family, there was no reason why he didn't know the Liu family.

Seeing that Grandma Liu had spoken, Li Zhuiyuan also performed the upper position ceremony to the white-haired man.

At the moment of the ceremony, Zhen Mubai and Su Wenluo subconsciously straightened their backs, and the other old people behind them also silently focused and re-examined the boy.

That's right, being able to perform the Qin and Liu family etiquette in public, the young lady (the eldest lady) intended to let him inherit the Qin and Liu families in the future.

At this time, Ding Laoer came over and asked quietly: "Young Madam, can we take our seats?"

Liu Yumei nodded.

Everyone took their seats, and the empty seat at the main seat was naturally taken by Liu Yumei.

The older generation sat at two tables, and the younger generation sat at the other two tables.

Li Zhuiyuan originally wanted to accompany A-li to eat alone, but Aunt Liu came over and signaled him to sit at the table as well, and she took A-li away.

For A-li's sake, Li Zhuiyuan had to sit on her behalf. He was also the main seat, and on both sides were people of the same age named Zhen and Su, and the rest were much older than the three of them.

The banquet was very lively, and the tables were very close, talking to each other and listening to each other.

The older generation at the table really spoke in an artistic way, and the younger generation was imitating art.

Li Zhanyuan heard it. They were turning around the ground and deliberately put on their own words, and wanted to know more information. The man on the side of his body was called one by one. But the most detailed set.

These two are early -age. Since they think that they have held the boy of the same age. After the words, they unconsciously hooked the corners of their lips, and forced to reveal their expressive expression.

What asked about life was trivial, Li Zhanyuan generously spoke his past life details.

He said here that the old guys next door were raising their ears and listening.

But the more you listened, the more he was shocked, and the gallbladder began to jump up.

Tong Yan Wuji, how can a boy say the details of life, how can the children in Beijing be exposed to?

Everyone couldn't help but guess. Eye communication confirmed that others thought, Grandma (Miss), wouldn't you really ask for a big character for his granddaughter?

In fact, Liu Yumei was listening to the next table. She also heard so many details for the first time, but she knew how smart the boy's mind was. Maybe the boy was playing with them intentionally, but it was interesting.

Three glasses of wine, drink slowly, Liu Yumei buckled the wine glass.

She accompanied the three cups, and she gave great faces.

The meaning of the cup inverted, the meaning is also very clear, the wine has been fulfilled, and the words have been finished.

This can't help but look at everyone here. Before they came, they actually prepared the "gift list". They were all their own industrial divisions. If Liu Yumei wanted to push up the door of Qin Liu, they had to cut the meat.

However, Liu Yumei's attitude is clearly not mentioned, that is, the meaning of not wanting to receive gifts at all.

No need to cut meat, the old people here are all panic.

They did not believe that Liu Yumei made a special trip to worship the boss, after all, the boss Ding was buried for more than a month.

But isn't it come to stand up again ... It is always impossible to find a reason to find a trip to Shancheng?

Liu Yumei got up and shouted, "Xiao Yuan."

"Come, grandma." Li Zouyuan also got up and followed.

The old and one younger just left the table, and the old people saluted again. Zhen Mobai and Su Wenluo were two.

We just do things according to the old law, and even if you are angry, don't lift the table directly.

"Grandma ..."

"Miss ..."

Liu Yumei's cold eyes swept away, and immediately stopped the words of all of them.

Immediately after, she pointed to the wine glass that he had buckled on the table.

Later, she held the boy's hand and walked out.

All the old people left were all frightened, regretful, low, some who pointed at Ding Er and scolded the hospitality, and there were also sand -shot shadow Zhen Mobai and Su Wenluo.

Senior, only standing around, most of them were the first time they saw such a embarrassing side of their own owner, as if offending that woman was like breaking the cave on the sky above her head.

Li Zhanyuan followed Liu Yumei. The other party didn't seem to want to go straight back to the house, but instead scattered his heart along the wooden railings on the edge of the cliff outside.

For a long time, Liu Yumei stopped, and looked at the lights of the mountain city below.

"Stink boy, today's performance is good, it is a good shelf that can put out the whole face."

"Because there is Grandma Liu, you support your waist."

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

In fact, when in Jingli, although the relationship between Grandma Bei and Li Lan was not good, Grandma Bei really liked herself. As soon as she had a chance, she would take her out to see those old comrades.

"Oh, where can I support you? Grandma, my own waist, I can't do it long ago."

"But they are really afraid of you."

"They are not afraid of me."

"Are they afraid of the Qin family and Liu family?"

"Haven't you seen those tablets in Dongwu, everyone is almost dead, and there are me left to my orphan and widow. Where can there be any Qin family Liu family?"

This is also the place where Li Zhanyuan wondered. After studying the "Qin's Viewing Method" and "Liu's Wanting Qi Jue", Li Zhanyuan did not doubt that the two Qin Liu was definitely a transcendent status on the river.

But now that the family is gone, how can you be a grandmother who takes his granddaughter to treat the illness and avoid the world. The former servants and subordinates of the past are regularly worshiped again?

This is unreasonable at all.

The reality is not a martial arts novel. The reason why the kindness and spirit can be sought after in the rivers and lakes is also because this thing is rare in the rivers and lakes. If you do n’t go while you are sick, you want your life. It can be called "benevolent and unparalleled".

But but that group is really afraid, and Grandma Liu is quite confident.

Liu Yumei reached out and stroked the boy's head, and said calmly:

"Half of the tablet of Dongwu was set up when he followed Siye to beat the devils; half of it was stood by the big river."

Nympho

After eating supper with Ali, Li Zhanyuan was arranged to get on the car back to the hotel.

The car was driving by the river, and the boy looked at the river under the window through the window. It is very soft now.

When I got out of the door of the hotel lobby, when I was walking inside, I saw Xue Liangliang sitting beside the flower bed.

"Xiaoyuan, you are back."

"Liang Liang, you are ..."

"After Runsheng and Binbin went out in the afternoon, I couldn't get back yet. I couldn't get away. I was afraid that there was no one when you came back.

“Yeah.”

After all, there are two living people, and Runsheng is here, so there is no need to worry about any accidents happening to them.

It’s called looking for someone, but it’s actually just a walk.

Xue Liangliang introduced his new job. He can stay in Shancheng for two more days, and then go to Wanzhou below.

There is a project there that is in the exploration and site selection stage. He wants to join the study. At the same time, Luo Tingrui also asked him to take his junior brother with him.

When Li Zhuiyuan first heard the title of "junior brother", he was still a little uncomfortable, especially when Xue Liangliang described him as Luo Gong's "closed disciple".

The boy knew that this was a choice between two options. If he couldn't get used to having a "master", he would have to get used to the boring university life.

Xue Liangliang also exaggeratedly teased: Look at you, you can't fall in love in college.

Li Zhuiyuan also asked back: Did you fall in love in college?

Just walking and chatting, without deliberately running to find them, they happened to meet Tan Wenbin and Runsheng who were returning together. Both of them were very excited and happy.

Xue Liangliang found a barbecue stall on the side of the road and ordered three bottles of beer and a bottle of soy milk. The four of them ate and chatted, and learned what Tan Wenbin and Runsheng had done from the afternoon to now.

After leaving the hotel in the afternoon, the two of them wandered around Guanyin Bridge. Although Nantong also has an urban area, the population is far less than that of the mountain city, and it is far less lively here.

When the two of them got tired of strolling, it was dark. They ate some food at a roadside stall to fill their stomachs and asked the stall owner where to have fun nearby.

Then the two of them came to a building according to the stall owner's suggestion. They heard the sound of billiards hitting from a long distance, and Tan Wenbin proposed to teach Runsheng to play billiards.

After entering the building, they saw the sign of the billiard room - Midnight Crash.

The two opened a table and played. They saw people coming into the billiard room and going up to the second floor. When they were playing, they could hear singing coming from the stairs on the second floor.

Driven by curiosity, the two went up to see. There was a ticket seller at the door. It was not expensive. After buying two tickets and going in, there were so many people inside.

A large group of men and women were dancing on the dance floor. They were not scattered, but everyone hugged their own dance partners and kept squeezing into the crowd.

When a song ended, the lights would light up for a while, and some people who didn't want to continue dancing would come out. Then the man paid the woman, and the woman stood on the outer circle, while the man wandered around to find and choose his favorite dance partner.

When the next song started, the lights went out again.

Xue Liangliang asked them if they had danced in, and both shook their heads.

They were shy and embarrassed, so they sat on the chairs by the wall and watched the whole time. During the period, in addition to the ticket money, the only consumption was to ask for two cups of tea and refill two bottles of boiled water from the bar.

After listening to this, Xue Liangliang laughed so hard that he bent over.

After the chat, everyone went back to the hotel to rest. In the next two days, Xue Liangliang took them to visit many scenic spots in the mountain city, ate hot pot and rabbit meat, and even took the Yangtze River Cableway.

When the river water surged under his feet, Li Zhuiyuan felt a sense of mystery and shock.

However, what made the four people most happy in these two nights was that every night after get off work, Xue Liangliang would go downstairs of the unit's office building, borrow a car through his connections, and take everyone for a ride in the urban area of ​​the mountain city.

Xue Liangliang stretched his hand out of the window while driving, and pointed out the future plan at each place, saying what new bridge would be built here in the future, what kind of development would be carried out here in the future, and how prosperous the mountain city would become in the future.

He should have read the government planning materials, but many of the things he said were his own "imagination". He really regarded himself as the designer of the city's future and shared his inner blueprint with his friends.

At this time, Xue Liangliang seems to have a special charm. Everyone will easily immerse themselves in his "perspective". The still life in front of them is fast-forwarding. Bridges are built, roads are laid out, and buildings are rising from the ground. The whole city is "changing with each passing day" at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After driving around, Xue Liangliang will fill up the gas when he returns the car to the unit.

Before leaving the mountain city, the four went to Jiefangbei and had another hot pot nearby.

Li Zhuiyuan originally thought that he didn't like spicy food, including Tan Wenbin, but after eating it a few more times, he felt addicted, as if the spicy taste was just the appearance of the mountain city hot pot, and its core was fragrant.

The car to Wanzhou was also sent by the unit, and Xue Liangliang was still the driver. The difference was that the gas fee for this trip could be reimbursed.

After leaving the urban area of ​​Shancheng, the scenery along the way was extremely beautiful, but the road was a bit difficult to drive, and the destination was not in the urban area of ​​Wanzhou, but below Wanzhou. The last section of the road had rained last night, and the wheels were stuck in a mud pit. Fortunately, Runsheng was there, and he pushed the car out and continued to drive.

It was late at night when we arrived at the workplace. Although the conditions of the town guesthouse were relatively simple, the room was very spacious.

Li Zhuiyuan opened the window, and there was a river vertically below. Even if Nantong likes to build houses along the river, those are all gentle rivers, not such turbulent ones.

People who like fishing can sit in the house and cast their rods, and then wait for the fish to bite while drinking tea and listening to the radio.

Xue Liangliang went down and came up again, saying that the meeting was still in progress, and whether he wanted to go and listen together. Li Zhuiyuan agreed, and went to the conference hall on the first floor of the guesthouse with Xue Liangliang.

Here, the tables and walls were covered with blueprints. A crowd of people were divided into two groups, arguing so fiercely that their faces turned red. The tables were slapped several times. I don’t know how much red paint fell off the already mottled tabletop.

In the middle of the argument, the leaders of both sides stopped tacitly, drinking water and eating, but it seemed that it was not over yet. They had to argue again before going back to the room to sleep, otherwise they would not be able to relax and would regret it when they went to sleep.

Xue Liangliang did not participate in the argument, but just sat next to him and listened carefully.

Li Zhuiyuan was curious about these blueprints and kept observing them.

The two sides finally had enough fun arguing and decided to each come up with a plan and then hand it over to their superiors for final decision.

The next morning, a whistle sounded, followed by a knock on the door, calling everyone to get up and continue to go to the field.

Xue Liangliang has status, and Li Zhuiyuan has half status even though he has not yet enrolled. As for Runsheng and Tan Wenbin, the group also expressed their welcome. After all, who doesn't like to have two more strong laborers?

When they set out this time, in addition to equipment, they also brought tents and food.

The road in the direction they were going was under construction. When they arrived at the area where they could not go further, they began to carry their things on foot.

It was not too far, but not too close either. The main reason was that the road was not easy to walk. They had to cross streams and ditches and climb several small hills.

This made Li Zhuiyuan sigh that the Langshan Mountain, which was regarded as a treasure in Nantong, was a real mountainous area, that is, a small highland marked with a string of numbers on the drawings.

When they arrived at the place, they set up camp first, built a fire and boiled some water, and then everyone ate biscuits with canned food.

Then they started working. Li Zhuiyuan and the other two followed Xue Liangliang to a slope and started measuring.

The boy learned things quickly, while Tan Wenbin had a little difficulty, but he was still very positive. After all, he was determined to be in this major in the future.

After dark, the team returned to the camp. Ma Yiming, the deputy team leader, organized a data summary and temporary discussion meeting.

The next day was a repetition of yesterday. The four-person team was still sent to measure data at a point. At noon, the four people stopped temporarily and sat on a big rock to eat and rest.

Xue Liangliang smiled and said to Tan Wenbin that it was still time to change his mind now. Tan Wenbin immediately shook his head and reiterated his determination.

"Our work is like this. Whether it is the exploration and design stage or the construction stage, it is boring and repetitive day after day. Only when the project is truly completed can we wake up from a dream and experience the romance that belongs to us."

In the afternoon, after two and a half days of exploration and learning, Li Zhuiyuan performed another kind of romance for Xue Liangliang.

He integrated the method of Feng Shui observation into the measurement. After Xue Liangliang continued to set up the equipment for measurement, he found that the error was actually within the allowable range. For a while, even he himself was a little unable to judge which set of data was more accurate.

However, Xue Liangliang still felt uneasy about recording data by the method of looking at feng shui. But if he didn't use this method, he would look a bit stupid. Finally, Xue Liangliang found a good way. He first took Xiaoyuan's data and then verified and proofread it. This not only ensured the accuracy of the data but also saved a lot of processes.

Unfortunately, this method is doomed to be unable to be promoted. It can only facilitate the laziness of his own team. Other teams are in other locations and can't help. So at dusk, Xue Liangliang took three people to the stream to catch fish.

The rest of the people were cheerleaders. They relied on Runsheng to dive into the deep area and then throw the fish up one by one.

The four people processed the fish by the stream, returned to the camp before dark, set up a pot, and cooked fish soup.

One after another, the teams came back, and everyone came here with a smile. Although the weather was not too cold at this time, it was definitely a pleasure to come back and have a delicious and hot meal after a hard day.

The soup was stewed milky white, and three large spoons were hung there, and everyone served it by themselves.

Li Zhuiyuan picked up his bowl, added a little extra pepper and vinegar, and then drank it in small sips while holding the iron box.

Time passed little by little, and it was almost time for everyone to go back to the tent to sleep, but the atmosphere in the camp became anxious because a team had not returned yet.

Ma Yiming had already looked for it himself, but he couldn't find it. Logically, the location where the team dispersed was not far from the camp, and they were all equipped with lighting equipment. Even if something unexpected happened, they could turn on the lights and point them to the sky, and they could see the light beam from a distance.

There was no way, Ma Yiming could only mobilize everyone to look for it together.

After wading through two streams, crossing a ditch, and climbing up, it was the team's measurement task point.

At this time, up and down the slope, there were flashlights and shouts everywhere, but this team of three people not only couldn't find anyone, but also couldn't find the equipment.

Ma Yiming cursed: "Damn it, I saw a ghost!"

If an accident happened in a dangerous environment, it would happen. At least everyone could have a preparation and construction in their hearts. But in this place, the biggest risk factor is just a sprained ankle when climbing the slope and crossing the stream.

How can these three living people disappear just like that?

Next, the survey team was divided into two groups, one group searched along the slope upstream of the stream, and the other group searched downstream.

Xue Liangliang's team was assigned to the upstream. After searching for a distance upstream with the other teams, they separated tacitly and communicated with each other by light.

"Xiaoyuan, I'll carry you." Runsheng said.

"No need, brother Runsheng."

"Where did this person go?" Tan Wenbin was puzzled. "Their measurement area is not as good as us. There is still a deep -water area there. Walk."

Run Sheng asked: "Will there be a beast here?"

Xue Liangliang shook his head: "The head of the horse inharges the locals in advance. There are no beasts nearby. Besides, even if a beast is a beast, it is impossible to take three adult men at once. Leave a lot of traces. "

At this time, the lantern language came from the distance.

Xue Liangliang waved: "Go, go there to see."

The nearby teams also gather to the lantern language.

After arriving at the place, under a large stone, everyone found a hat and a mountaineering stick that was broken into two -section, confirming that it was something of the members of the missing team.

Xue Liangliang took the flashlight to look closely, and then lay on the big stone side by side, put his hiking stick down, stuck on the ground and the edge of the stone.

He immediately shouted: "See if there are traces over there, look carefully."

"Yes, found, there is a white scratch."

After Xue Liangliang looked at the confirmation, he squatted down again. The flashlight was shot on the small stone on the ground, and he picked up several positive and negative sides and smelled it.

"Take a look forward, whether the small and medium stones on the ground have traces of turning over to see if the color shades and the smell concentration."

Everyone immediately took a picture.

Soon, many people reported there.

At this moment, everyone understood the meaning, and the brain made up a similar picture, that is, there is something to drag a team member on the ground. After here, the team member attempted to use the climbing stick to stuck the big stones and the ground, but but That thing was very powerful, and the hiking rod was broken.

A person immediately asked, "Who did it?"

Xue Liangliang shook his head: "It's not a person, there is no need to use brute force if people's words."

"What is this?" Some people had a new discovery nearby. He picked up a half of the large slap on the ground, and the flashlight could show some light, like a glass, but the texture was not like Essence

Everyone was circulated in turn, and could not recognize what it was. When they were passed on to Li Zhanyuan's hands, the boy sniffed this thing and sent it to Runsheng. smell.

"Xiaoyuan, there is a soil smell of stocks."

"Earthy smell?" Xue Liangliang frowned and looked at Li Zhiyuan, "Xiao Yuan, can you guess what this is?"

Li Zhanyuan replied: "Can't it be a snake scales?"

This guess is a bit scary. If such a large piece is a snake scales, how long is the body of the snake?

Several people around me sneered. I just felt that although the child had a good mind and was admitted to college in advance, his imagination was still too rich.

Some people propose that since they find the remains, they should continue to find it. This proposal was quickly approved by most people, and everyone continued to move forward along this slope.

Li Zhanyuan reached out and pulled Xue Xue's bright sleeves: "Liang Liang, I don't think I should go forward, I have to wait for dawn."

Xue Liangliang sighed helplessly: "If you haven't found someone before dawn, he must suspend the homework to call the police and ask the police to mobilize the villagers nearby to help find it. Moreover, the three of them just disappeared, even if something happened, even if something happened, It is also the golden search and rescue time period.

The most important thing is that Xiao Yuan, here are old qualifications, I don't care about it.

In this way, Runsheng, Binbin, you and Xiao Yuan stay here or return to the camp first, you are not a formal member of the camp. "

The implication is that Xue Liangliang has to continue searching forward. This is also no way. His colleagues disappeared. He had no reason not to rescue, even ... knowing that there may be danger in front of him.

"Well, let's go together, let everyone take a lot of flashlights to shine the ground to see if I can see the reflection again and find this scale."

"Well, okay."

The crowd began to continue searching forward. The more the slopes on the left, the steeper the slope on the left, and the deeper the water flow on the right. The big guy could only travel in the middle of the river beach.

However, although it was not able to find similar scales, in a small concave pit, a shoe was found, and there were blood traces around the shoes.

This is the first time that some of the missing players have been injured.

Someone shouted at the front end: "There is a hole here."

Everyone ran over. Sure enough, on the slope on the left side, there was a two -person hole. When the flashlight shot in it, he quickly came to the stone wall.

At first I thought that the cave was very shallow, but when someone shot the flashlight down, I found that there was still a large empty hole in the middle of the cave.

On the sharp stone thorns on the edge of the black hole, there seems to be something hanging, but in the face of this unknown cave, everyone still murmured. No one dares to go in to check the first.

Xue Liangliang squeezed the person in front of him and entered the cave first. He carefully came to the cave and reached out enough. He was a cloth strip on a piece of clothes. Written "Feng Zhigao", which is one of the missing persons.

When Xue Liangliang brought this thing out, everyone gathered together to check.

"So, people are there?"

"How can I run there?"

"What did you do?"

Li Zhuiyuan did not go forward to look at the strip of cloth, but stood at the entrance of the cave, his ears trembling slightly. He heard the "whoosh" sound of the wind coming from the cave. It was obvious that the cave was very deep and there was a whistling sound inside.

Hmm? No, there are other sounds, what friction sound?

Li Zhuiyuan lay down and put his ear to the ground.

Seeing Xiaoyuan's action, Runsheng, Tan Wenbin and Xue Liangliang also quietly came over. They all knew that the boy had good hearing.

At this time, everyone's position was: cave entrance - Li Zhuiyuan and his four companions - all the detectors - river.

The friction sound became clearer and clearer. Li Zhuiyuan looked up at the cave in front of him while listening, as if something was going to come out in the next moment.

When he was about to shout to everyone around him to run away from the cave, he immediately found something wrong. This sound did not come from the cave, but from the other side.

In the river, something was crawling from the river to here, it's coming!

Li Zhuiyuan stood up immediately and looked at the explorers who were still gathered on the riverbank to check their clothes and discuss the situation. Above all of their heads...

Two big red lanterns suddenly lit up!
