Mountains and seas close at hand

In the bonfire, the half-dried branches of miscellaneous trees "beep, beep and clap".The scorching heat of the flames relieved everyone's tense nerves. The guide opened a bag of corn ham soup and poured it into a titanium alloy pot.With the stirring of the soup ladle, the fragrance filled the air, and everyone's mouths began to salivate, and their eyes showed anticipation.

Professor Sun took off his glasses, which were whitened by heat, and wiped them with emotion: "Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory may not be perfect, but physiological needs are the unchanging cornerstone."

"As I said before, people are iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry." The guide served a bowl of soup to Professor Sun, "Take it for you, don't spill it."

"No, no, give to the wounded first."

The guide has been in this business and has led many groups, and he knows how to behave: "You are welcome, the big guy doesn't have a few red scarves. It's not a pear, why push it around, right? There are all of them. "

The guide first served bowls to the two old professors, then to Ji Bao and the wounded, and finally it was the others' turn.Seeing Bai Jimo and Song Banyan coming back, he hurriedly greeted him: "There is no Fa Cai wine, the last two bowls of Fa Cai soup." (The last sip of wine in the bottle)

Song Banyan took it and looked at it, a bowl full of corn and ham.She sat down next to Bai Xunhua, absent-mindedly listening to Bai Jimo's conversation.It was nothing more than an apology first and then condolences. In the end, Xiaozhi moved with emotion and reasoned, fooling everyone to move on.

"Whether to go or stay, everyone decides for themselves." Bai Jimo took a sip of the soup and continued slowly, "But now there is only one car and there is no way to go. We will go back to pick up the car after dinner, and others can stay. Wait for us here."

No one chose to come down and wait.

Compared with death, unknown dangers are more frightening.

After the rain stops, the sun rises, and wild flowers bloom in the wilderness.Red, pink, yellow, purple... all kinds of flowers are swaying in the grass, and the petals are all small and delicate.The round drops of water are on the green grass buds, on the goose-yellow flower buds, and on the beard tips of squirrels. When the sun shines, they are full of crystal clear innocence.

The Dongfeng warrior jumped up the gentle slope.Under the clear sky, the biting swamp was lush with green grass and shimmering.If it wasn't for the two off-road vehicles standing alone in the wasteland, everyone would have thought they had gone to the wrong place.

Bai Xunhua handed the binoculars to Song Banyan, touched the little lynx's head: "Go and have a look."

The little lynx rubbed its head against Bai Xunhua's palm, and the black tufts on the tips of its ears were like the upper feathers of a military commander's helmet.

Bai Xunhua's eyes followed its vigorous figure as it rushed down the gentle slope, stepping on the grass and puddles with its thick fur claws, moving forward fearlessly.The strong wind blows its smooth mane, the splash of water cheers the sky, and the little lynx leaps onto the hood of the car.It didn't stop at all, the muscles of the waist and hips rolled, the front paws were raised, and it kicked back, standing on the roof of the car.

The little lynx paced calmly, turned around on the roof of the car, and sat down majestically.It looked at Bai Xunhua, tilted its head, and made a "gurgling" sound from its throat.

Bai Xunhua raised the corner of his mouth, and glanced at Song Banyan—like you.

Song Banyan raised his chin: "Let's go, it's cleaner than I thought. How should I say it, scavenger."

At first, everyone was still a little worried, but when the car battery was repaired and the engine started to "boom", the worry was finally let go.Bai Jimo gathered everyone together to discuss whether to stay or not.

Song Banyan thought that the guide would leave, but he was the first to say that he wanted to stay.It was really inappropriate for the wounded and the two professors to continue to follow the team, even if they wanted to stay, Bai Jimo would not agree.Give them the No. [-] car, and distribute enough gasoline and food.

While moving things, the guide came to Song Banyan's side: "Daxian, is it more dangerous in the back? What are you looking for? Let me help you find out. But if you need anything, just mention it, don't be polite, I just hope you are okay." In the interval of idleness, mention something."

Song Banyan continued walking without raising his eyelids, "I won't accept disciples."

The guide smiled: "Don't worry, I don't want to eat this bowl of rice. I just want to save my life. It's not easy for us little people to live."

Song Banyan stepped on the puddle, turned around and pointed to the No. [-] car: "The car hasn't left yet, there's still time."

The guide hurriedly said, "What's the point of living in the world? Live in style, or I can make a living in Sijiu City."

Song Banyan liked to talk nonsense with him, but he would not be able to make trouble around him if there was a serious matter, so he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Bai and I are not all on the same mind. personal."

The guide didn't expect her to be so "frank" at all. He was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately patted his chest to reassure: "Okay, I'll go right away and report to you later."

Song Banyan saw him run a little farther, the toe of his shoe was crushed in the pond, and something was drawn out.She didn't even look at it, and stuffed the mud and weeds into her pocket.

Car No. [-] started slowly, and Song Banyan hummed a tune and walked over, waving his hands: "Just drive back, don't stop for anything."

She just said it casually, but half of the people thought it over and over in their hearts, and they always felt that there was a deep meaning in the words.On the surface, no one said anything, and after seeing off No. [-] car, they began to discuss the following itinerary.

"The map shows that the way to Burkhan Khaldun Hill is through this swamp."

Song Banyan didn't take it seriously: "Then let's go through it."

Bai Jimo had to emphasize: "Swamp."

"The map may not be accurate." Bai Xunhua took the map, compared it with the satellite topographic map, and suggested, "There is no way to detour, but it should be possible to pass through."

"Of course." Song Banyan smiled smugly, "If this road doesn't work, why bother the black-clothed shaman."

Everyone got into the car and set off, and embarked on the journey again along the direction shown on the map.

The Dongfeng Warrior moved forward, the guide licked his lips, and his small eyes glanced at Song Banyan.Bai Xunhua was driving, Song Banyan was sitting in the co-driver, the guide and Steve were crowded in the back, and Xi Feilan, the youngest of the security team.

"Let's talk." Song Banyan turned his head and smiled, "They're all landlubbers on the same boat, they've got each other's backs and they've got problems, and there are more than one family to take care of."

The guide said: "Mr. Bai brought two friends. The tall one is called Guan Xiong, who is a practitioner. The one in a suit is called Guo Hu, and the old fox is one."

"We're not doing some mine inspection this time." Song Banyan raised his chin at Bai Xunhua, "Miss Bai and Miss Ji are life-and-death friends, we are only looking for medicine."

The guide exclaimed: "So it is."

Song Banyan turned to look at Xi Feilan, the corners of his mouth curled up: "Miss Xi, what does Mr. Ji mean?"

The degree of danger of this trip was completely beyond Fei Lan's expectations, but her family was greatly favored by Ji Xian, and she had to go on this trip whether she lived or died: "Mr. Ji ordered, protect Miss Ji and listen to Miss Bai."

Bai Xunhua laughed when he heard the words: "Ji Xian is really..."

The guide poked Steve: "What about you with a big nose? Don't tell me it's for international friendship."

The mercenary patted his chest in his arms and laughed heartily: "It's all for money!" (Everything is for money)

Song Banyan leaned on the car seat, thinking about it in his mind: The people assigned by Bai Jimo have nothing to do with him, they have a clean background and a clean record.Big-nosed mercenaries work for money, Xi Feilan is Bai's private soldier, and the guide may be his secret chess player, but it doesn't look like it.

She touched her chin, and took out a bag of beef jerky from her pocket: I don't worry about Bai Jimo, but Xu Tianfu and the mentor, the two behind-the-scenes masterminds, are really on my back.San Mumanto didn't know whether they wanted it or not, or a fight would be inevitable.No, it's impossible for Bai Jimo not to know the strength of those two sides.Can Guan Xiong and Guo Hu fight against one hundred?Or does Bai Jimo have other trump cards?Or did he know that neither the mentor nor Xu Tianfu would care about Shengmu Mandui?

Numerous questions flashed through Song Banyan's mind, and then he thought again: Shengmu Mandui wants Bai Jimo to worry about it, so I should think about how to "stop" the mentor.The movement of Zhang Gong and his mouth made me feel bald.Wait, why is it blocking the "mentor" instead of "them"? Could it be that she got some key information from Xu Tianfu?

"...Nine tripods...the world, the tripod is always full, to account for the rest of the weather..." (used to measure the rise and fall of the country's fortune)

Hearing the sound, Bai Xunhua looked at Song Banyan, seeing her stunned expression, he couldn't help but raised his heart, and quickly called out: "Banyan."

Song Banyan was startled, raised his hand and rubbed his face: "It's okay."

The guide leaned on the back of the chair and asked, "Daxian, did you just ask the horse fairy to show you the way?"

Song Banyan stared at the seven-seat off-road vehicle in front of him, and slowly replied: "Yes."

The guide was so startled that his skin got goosebumps, he looked at the off-road vehicle in front of him flustered, wondering if there were any ghosts and foxes inside.In the seven-seater off-road vehicle are Ji Bao, Bai Jimo, Guo Hu, Doctor Qin, Maowazi, and Guan Xiong who is driving.

Ji Bao was drenched in the rain, and now he was lying in the back row in a daze, with a smear of redness on his pale cheeks, and Jimo looked very anxious.But at this moment, Guo Hu handed over the walkie-talkie: "Mr. Bai, Ms. Song."

Bai Jimo took the walkie-talkie and put it to his ear. After listening to Song Banyan's questioning, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to say these things now?"

Song Banyan drove the public release, and said unscrupulously: "Maybe I can still catch the same Hell Express, whether it is suitable or not."

Bai Jimo looked at the people in front of him, regretted that he didn't install the door, and said in a low voice, "I don't know the specific purpose, but there may be more than one. I don't know... Maybe... They didn't tell me ...that's because I don't care..."

Guo Hu interrupted suddenly: "Sir, we seem to have arrived somewhere."

Song Banyan heard the voice on the walkie-talkie and looked up——

The majestic and austere Burkhan Khaldun Mountain stands in the distance, like a rough and majestic prehistoric warrior, silently guarding this land.The grasslands and forests in Mobei meet here, and the rough rocks are raised on both sides, and the roads welcome visitors from afar.

The crowds who had traveled thousands of miles all stopped to fight and hesitated in the lonely wilderness.

The secluded Taniguchi seems to have been waiting for thousands of years, and at this moment it is like a desolate beast dozing off.
