Absurd deduction game

The minibus drove staggeringly through the gray streets, surrounded by low-rise buildings. The colors looked old and full of age.

No, it’s not so much a sense of age as it is a sense of backwardness.

Longtou Town is located under the lofty mountains, creating a strange fusion style of human society and natural space. It is obvious that old age and poverty are coming, but it makes people feel that this place should maintain the status quo for a long time and guard some great things. Something the city has long since lost.

The place Yu Xing leaned on like a boneless body had been downgraded from the comfortable sofa on the plane to the squeaky hard seat of the minibus.

There was no room to put the luggage this time, and the small suitcase could only be sandwiched between his legs - larger suitcases were piled in the aisle, and now, he occupied the window seat.

Zhao Yijiu was still sitting next to him, with one hand on the top of the suitcase and the other on his thigh, tapping his fingers unconsciously.

There were many people on the bus and it was very noisy.

They changed cars twice, and this should be the last one. When they arrived at the stop later, if they wanted to get closer to their destination, they probably had only two options: renting a car or walking.

Because there were so many people in the car and the atmosphere was completely different from that on the plane, Zhao Yijiu became habitually alert, his expression gloomy and calm, and he had a temperament that was not easy to mess with.

Some locals with loud voices...maybe they were people from nearby towns talking in incomprehensible dialects. Some of them were wearing unfashionable casual clothes, and some were wearing ethnic minority costumes. Their appearance was also different in the south.

The facial features are more undulating and the skin is drier. It is not as dewy as in the south, but it looks very powerful.

A local middle-aged man sat next to Zhao Mou. I don't know what method he used, but he actually had a good conversation with him. Although his dialect accent was not standard, he could communicate freely.

This may also be the reason why he changed his dressing style. Even in casual clothes, Zhao Mou is still too delicate compared to the locals. He could be called a pretty boy. If he dares to wear a suit, he may be even more out of place.

On the other hand, it was Zhao Yijiu whose aura that was not easy to mess with outweighed the influence of his appearance, and he perfectly blended into the local mix.

That's right, before even getting out of the car, Yu Xing already had a "mixed" impression of Longtou Town.

Longtou Town is an excellent supply station for those who have entered Longling. Although the town is not big and not rich, Yu fortunately looked out of the car window and saw that among the passers-by there were many well-equipped outsiders.

Some stayed in the town to do some shady business, and some went into the mountains to hunt or fight upside down... Yu Xing had entered the tomb palace dungeon, and he knew what the people who fought upside down and went to the tomb were like.

In short, he saw a lot of professions that could not be seen in the outside world. It seems that this is Guolongling's consistent style - the people at the top do not care and do not build, and the people at the bottom naturally start to make their own money, and they do it very desperately.

Yu Xing looked at it for a while, then looked away from the person and moved to a farther place.

He is looking at the mountains.

Guolong Ridge is a long and winding road. Looking up from anywhere in Longtou Town, you can see the rolling mountain shadows distorted by distance.

Huge, towering.

Suffocating.

The mountains blocked all directions, like an insurmountable cage. Even if Yejiang opened a gap in it, it still could not stop the oppression of the layers of mountains and rocks.

That's the case for Longtou Town, let alone Suanyu County that can't be found on the map.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the minibus stopped at the bus station in the town. The people on the bus were walking slowly down, all holding their luggage tightly.

Yu Xing jumped down from the car door and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the fresh air hitting his face.

It was too stuffy in the car, but it was much better after we got off.

"If I had just met you, I would have vomited by now." Zhao Yijiao looked at him thoughtfully for a moment and came to his own conclusion.

Yu Xing was a little surprised that he would take the initiative to mention this: "Huh? Does Brother Jiu prefer me when I was weak at the beginning?"

Zhao Yijiu showed some disgust, but his acting skills were not up to par, which made Yu Xing see some duplicity: "...How can you like a sick man? It's very troublesome."

Zhao Mou also got out of the car. No matter what they were talking about, he put his arm on his younger brother's shoulders with a smile: "Come on, I just asked the locals. Suyu County is a bit far away, and it is in the mountains. If we want to go, we can We need to find a local guide who can go into the mountains.”

"Where to find it?" Zhao Yijiu tilted his head.

Yu Xing smiled and looked at the men in jackets approaching them: "No need to look, the guide will come to us."

This bus station is the only place where vehicles can enter and exit Longtou Town. People who know how to do business must come here early to stay.

Sure enough, the men who were walking here looked at each other for a few times, and finally only one of them walked over, while the rest went back to where they were leaning to smoke.

The man was short in stature and looked lean, probably in his forties. His shrewd eyes scanned their clothes and then their faces. He spoke in non-standard Mandarin: "Hey! Are you guys here?" Are you from out of town?"

Zhao Yijiu ignored everyone, and Yu Xing also lowered his head to "play with his cell phone." Only Zhao Mou looked at the man seriously: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"I see that you guys are from out of town. Hmm, I'm thinking it would be inconvenient for these little brothers to be here for the first time. I guess you need someone to show you around, right?" The man diligently handed over a cigarette. Zhao Mou looked at the inferior quality of the cigarette. Cigarette brand, he put Zhao Yijiu down and took it in his mouth with a smile.

Zhao Yijiu immediately moved away, his face was gloomy, and his eyebrows were lowered. This reaction actually made the man relax a little and smile.

With a click, the man lit the fire for Zhao Mou and patted his chest: "If you want to find someone, just look for me. I have all the options. I guarantee that everything you do will be convenient!"

Zhao Mou's smile did not change, but he did not answer. He just held the cigarette with the hand wearing the copper coin bracelet, and let the white smoke seep out along the gap between his lips as he breathed.

The man looked at the bracelet again, his pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but look at the three of them again.

Young, tender-faced, the two handsome guys look very similar, they should be brothers, and the other one is more beautiful than the stars - forgive him for not having much vocabulary in his mind, he can only think of this word.

This was his first impression of the three of them.

But in their profession, they don’t just look at people based on their appearance.

The more the man looked, the more frightened he became. Each of these three people was tall and tall. Although they were not as strong as most "outsiders" he had seen, the muscles under their clothes could not be concealed. Just by looking at their standing postures, one could tell that they were strong. Definitely not shallow.

This is not a tourist who knows nothing, but one who comes to do business.

Looking at their expressions, one of them is cold and cold, and he is not a good person at first glance, as if he would go to the knife if he is unhappy; the one who is prettier than the other women is very casual, but not innocent, but comfortable.

The person who was talking to him had an impeccable expression and body movements, as incomprehensible as an old man.

The bunch of things in his hand were either bought on the black market or taken from the tomb. Don't look through them casually. The man only saw two words on them - rich!

No matter where the money comes from, you just have money!

"Hey, I'm not sensible anymore. How can you let the three of you stand here? Come on, I'll treat you to a meal. How about we chat while we eat?" The man pointed at the small restaurant opposite the bus station.

Zhao Mou puffed out the smoke and pressed the railing of the suitcase with his other hand: "Isn't this bad?"

"What's more, I still want to be your guide! You guys are so heroic and handsome, you can't treat me badly, right?" The man used his few idiom reserves, "My surname is Huang, you call me Lao Just yellow!"

Zhao Mou then nodded: "Let's go then?"

Yu Xing was happy that he didn't have to say anything. As expected, with Zhao Mou here, he could be the hands-on shopkeeper.

As soon as Zhao Mou said to leave, he happily pulled Zhao Yijiao to follow him.

There weren't many people in the noodle shop, after all, it wasn't a meal.

Lao Huang skillfully asked the proprietress to order the dishes, then rolled his eyes and lowered his voice: "What do you call these little brothers? Can you tell me what you are here for?"

Zhao Mou said: "My surname is Zhao, and I come here to start a small business."

Lao Huang nodded: "Hey, hello, Mr. Zhao." No matter what they are here for, everyone claims to be here for business.

Zhao Mou pointed to the two people next to him respectively: "You don't need to know who these two are."

Lao Huang's face suddenly tightened, and he became more cautious and greedy about his guide business.

It's obvious that their identities are not simple, and they don't even want to say their names.

It’s just that these guys with tender skin and tender flesh are so young, what kind of “business” are they here for...

Zhao Mou glanced at him, crossed his legs, and said bluntly: "We want to go into the mountain, can you do that?"

Old Huang's eyes suddenly widened.

There are many gray industries in the town, but the most dangerous and profitable ones are all in the mountains.

He thought that these three young men might have something to do with the fight, but he didn't expect that he would have to go into the mountain himself as soon as he came up.

"Going into the mountains" here is not just walking around in the mountains and then coming out!

Lao Huang coughed dryly: "Ahem, just... you three?"

Zhao Mou sneered: "Don't worry."

He put more than half of his cigarette left into the ashtray on the table, and his half-smiling eyes immediately "exposed" his danger: "Just tell me, do you dare to go into the mountain? Let's continue chatting if you dare. No." Dare you...move your butt away as soon as possible."

Lao Huang shivered violently.

The afternoon light shone into the restaurant from the window, and he saw the young man's well-maintained and smooth hair, a certain point of his thin-rimmed glasses reflecting the metallic luster, and his mouth was moist and light. He clearly looked like a noble young man, with a pair of There was a ruthlessness in his eyes that looked down upon human life.

It's really hard time.

However, Lao Huang was not afraid and grinned his yellow teeth: "Don't worry, I want money rather than my life, as long as you give me this..."

He rubbed his thumb and index finger together: "Why can't we enter the mountain? I told you, I have this way!"

"That's good." Zhao Mou curled his lips, "Find us a hotel to put our things in, and we'll be in the mountains in an hour."

Lao Huang said it was all on him, but he had to go home and make some preparations.

After a while, Lao Huang and Zhao Mou left their contact information and left in a hurry, leaving the three of them enjoying Lao Huang's treat.

The boss lady was obviously not surprised by this, she smiled at them and continued her business.

At this time, Zhao Yijiu asked: "Going into the mountain?"

"He thought we were tomb robbers." Zhao Mou explained to his younger brother, "I asked, and most locals have only heard of Suanyuxian County, but don't know how to get there at all. It's not like I really can't find the place. "

He needed a guide to avoid dangers and dead ends in the mountains, which would save him a lot of energy. When he got nearby, he could tell the guide to go away and take Zhao Yiju and Yu Xing to Suanyu County.

Sour and County will enter and exit this opportunity tonight, and it will be one less person who can enter, and he does not want the guide to be pulled into the dungeon.

Ordinary people entering a dungeon of this level are looking for death. Apart from this, Zhao Mou gets a headache just thinking about how many things an ordinary person can do due to lack of experience and fear.

Zhao Yijiu nodded and said he understood.

Although he has been able to stand alone in the deduction game, many twists and turns in reality are still not suitable for him. He just wants to be a silent knife.

Next to him, Yu Xing was talking to Zhao Mou about where they were going to meet up with the sea monster. Zhao Yijiu turned his head and looked at the mountains in the distance.

In his eardrums, there was a faint roar of the roaring river, eerie and violent... very ominous. (End of chapter)
