The CEO's Wife and First Love

Chapter 274 Looking for the target

Lizhen set out with Hongliang's two original bodyguards, full of hope and doubts.

They searched for the town based on the information provided by others. When they were almost at the town, they saw rolling hills and shady trees. The further they went in, the taller the trees reached into the clouds. There were thick vines everywhere, entwined around the trees. There was a small, winding mountain road, and big trees on both sides of the road shaded the road, so that the sun couldn't get in.

From time to time, various bird calls and wolf howls could be heard on the mountain, which was creepy to hear.

When Lizhen saw this, her heart skipped a beat. Why are you in a place like this, husband? You must have suffered a lot.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lizhen finally saw a sparsely populated village. The houses here were built according to the terrain, high and low. The slightly wider one in the middle was the town's trading place.

There are some shops here selling all kinds of daily necessities, the dazzling array is overwhelming.

The entrance of the store is filled with fresh vegetables, emitting bursts of fragrance, attracting the attention of passers-by.

However, when you walk into the store, you will find that there are more various mountain products inside. These mountain products are picked from nearby mountains, carrying the breath of nature and the fragrance of soil.

There are wild mushrooms, bamboo shoots, fungus, etc. They are not only delicious, but also highly nutritious and are deeply loved by local residents. Shopping here, you can feel the strong local characteristics and rural customs.

There are also some animal skins made into clothes, animal bones, and animal ointments, such as Luyi ointment, wild boar, and wild pheasant.

"There are still places like this in our country. Have we come to Jiapiqiao, where the mountain eagles live?" When Lizhen saw the scene here, she immediately thought of the scene in Jiapiqiao in Zhiqiweihu Mountain.

The people here are dressed simply. The women wear silver headdresses on their heads. Their clothes are hand-woven cloth embroidered with patterns, which are very beautiful.

"This is a minority ethnic group, but we don't know what they are called," one of the bodyguards replied.

"Why would the chairman come to such a mountainous place? No wonder we couldn't find the chairman. The information here is so blocked that I never even thought of coming to such a place," said another bodyguard.

"It's already late, let's find a place to stay first. We should settle the madam down first. Most of the roads here are mountainous. Madam, you don't have to go look for the chairman. Let's go out and ask around," said one of the bodyguards named A Kun.

"Let's find something to fill our stomachs. We've walked such a long way and are hungry. Let's eat something," Lizhen suggested.

"Okay." They found a place called "Here is the inn." When they walked into the inn, they could feel a strong rural atmosphere.

The layout of the room is simple and plain, but it makes people feel particularly warm.

After a short rest, the group went downstairs to eat.

"You are from other places and you are here to settle down," the innkeeper said politely.

"We are here to look for someone. Have you seen this person?" Lizhen took out Hongliang's photo and showed it to the innkeeper.

The boss took the photo, looked at it, and shook his head.

The tables and chairs in the restaurant are also made of wood, exuding a faint wood fragrance.

They tasted local specialties such as wild vegetables and barbecued game, which had unique flavors and were unforgettable.

During the meal, they talked with the owner and learned that this place was called "Yun Village", a small village where people made a living by hunting and collecting herbs.

After dinner, Lizhen decided to rest early and continue looking for the chairman's whereabouts tomorrow.

The bodyguards were divided into two groups, one group stayed behind to protect Lizhen, and the other group went out to inquire about the news.

Yun Village is exceptionally quiet at night, with only the occasional chirping of insects accompanying people as they fall asleep.

Kelizhen couldn't sleep at all. Why was her husband in such a mountainous place? Why didn't he come home for three years? Why?

Could it be that he met someone he liked? That was impossible. First of all, her husband loved her so much. This was the scene when she thought of them leaving. It was so sincere and she was so reluctant to let them go.

Could it be that he was frustrated? Yes, he must be frustrated. He can no longer remember us.

Lizhen didn't sleep all night, and only fell into a drowsy sleep at dawn.

"Bang, bang, bang" Li Zhen was sleeping soundly when she heard someone knocking on the door.

"Madam, get up and have breakfast." The bodyguard A Biao asked Lizhen to get up and have breakfast.

"Okay, I'm up." Lizhen got dressed and went out for breakfast.

The breakfast here is a local specialty, rice noodles made with a soup made from some leaves, with some mountain mushrooms added in. It is delicious, but Ke Lizhen has no appetite and just watches the bodyguards eat.

"After you have breakfast, A Biao and I will look for him in the town. A Kun, take the chairman's photo and ask people nearby." Li Zhen said and took out the photo and gave it to A Kun.

At this time, the boss lady was delivering breakfast. When she saw the photo, she was surprised and said, "Let me see it."

Lizhen quickly handed her the photo, and the lady boss took the photo and said, "I have seen this person before."

"Really?" Lizhen stood up immediately and held the proprietress's hand tightly.

"Sister, put it down. You're hurting my hand." Lizhen was so excited that she forgot everything and grabbed the boss lady's hand desperately. She didn't even notice that she was hurting her hand because she was grabbing too hard.

"Sorry, I'm so excited. Can you please tell me where you saw this person?" Li Zhen was too excited.

"I went out to buy groceries the other day and saw a man and a woman on the street. They were buying mountain products. The woman was pretty and the man was handsome."

It turned out that the proprietress went out to buy vegetables, and she saw a very handsome couple, especially the man, who was fair and clean, handsome and elegant, with a heroic face. Although he wore a headscarf like the locals, he was very graceful and had an extraordinary aura.

She was shocked that there was such a handsome man in the world. She thought it would be great if she could have such a handsome man. She couldn't help but become infatuated with him and looked at him a few more times.

"Then do you remember which direction they went?" Li Zhen asked anxiously.

The proprietress thought for a moment, pointed to the north of the town and said, "They seem to be heading that way."

"A Biao, let's look over here quickly." Li Zhen couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.

After thanking the proprietress, Lizhen took A Biao and headed towards the north of the town.

Along the way, she prayed silently in her heart that she could find her husband as soon as possible.

Finally, after climbing over a hill, Lizhen saw a small house not far ahead. When they arrived at it, a hunting dog started barking at them. Lizhen and the others had to stand there and watch it, not daring to take a step further.

“Is there anyone inside?” A Biao had no choice but to shout inside.

"Who is it?" At this time, a young woman came out. She was wearing a lace-embroidered top, an embroidered skirt tied around her waist, shiny black hair, and silver jewelry on her head. She had an oval face, big eyes, fair skin, and a high nose bridge. He shouted at the hunting dog to leave and stop barking, and immediately circled around the woman, licking her skirt with his tongue and wagging his tail.

When she reached Lizhen and the others, she was startled and looked at them with an unfriendly look, then turned around and ran. When she reached the door, she immediately ran into the house, then closed the door with a "bang"...

Lizhen and A Biao looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what was going on...
