Special Case Investigation Team VI

Wen Tianqing didn't make a decision right away, but wanted to think about it again.

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Then let's go first. If we can still meet in Snow Deer Valley, we will treat you to dinner again."

Wen Tianqing just ate a meal, if there is a chance, he will be invited back, of course, if there is no chance, then forget it.

Wen Tianqing looked at them: "Are you planning to go hiking just like this?"

Cheng Jin looks at himself and Yang Simi. The clothes are all convenient for activities, and the shoes are waterproof and breathable boots suitable for outdoor activities. There is nothing wrong with it.

"Yeah, what's the matter? I heard that this hiking route is very basic and not difficult. There shouldn't be any special preparations, right?"

"There are still some steep slopes on the way," Wen Tianqing suggested. "It is best to bring trekking poles and knee pads, which can save effort and protect the knee joints."

Cheng Jin accepted the opinion humbly: "Okay, I remember seeing the outdoor goods store last night, let's go buy it now."

Saying goodbye to Wen Tianqing and leaving the parking lot, Cheng Jin said, "It's quite interesting to cook in the 'kitchen' of the RV for the first time."

Yang Simi: "Do you like RV? Buy you one?"

"No. But don't you think Boss Wen's car is very handsome?"

"I've seen prettier ones."

"What does it look like?"

"It's much bigger than the car just now, it can hold a lot of supplies, it can generate electricity by itself, and it's safe and secure. It's a mobile fortress that can be driven out to fight zombies."

Hearing beating zombies, Cheng Jin laughed: "Are you talking about military vehicles?"

"No, I'm talking about a civilian vehicle." Yang Simi said, "But it's similar to a military vehicle with guns installed."

After chatting for a while, Cheng Jin turned back to Wen Tianqing: "Tell me, why is he so hesitant about going to see Zhu Yong? Is it just because of the big difference in status?"

Yang Simi: "Are you implying that he has emotional entanglements with Zhu Yong?"

Cheng Jin shook his head: "I'm just wondering why it's so difficult for him to make a decision. A person who likes to travel alone in a caravan should be more independent than indecisive."

Yang Simi said, "The reason for his hesitation should be Zhu Yong."

"What could be the reason?"

"How do I know, don't gossip like this."

"..."

The two chatted and soon came to the outdoor goods store.

They tried several trekking poles and knee pads, and finally chose the style that best fit Yang Simi's aesthetics.

While trying out the products, Cheng Jin sent a message to Sister Zhu saying that they had already finished their lunch, were buying trekking poles and knee pads, and were about to leave in a while, and asked her and Brother Wei if they were going to leave.

Sister Zhu asked them to wait in the store, and she came over to meet them immediately and told them that they would bring new friends over.

Cheng Jin thought, no wonder they said they had other arrangements for lunch earlier, it turned out that they met new friends.

After shopping, Cheng Jin and Yang Simi did not leave immediately, but waited for sister Zhu and the others while swiping their phones in the store.

Five minutes later, Sister Zhu and the others came over.

The new friends they brought are a man and a woman. The man should be about the same age as Sister Zhu and the others, while the woman is younger.

A professional camera with a large lens was hung around the man's neck. The woman had a beautiful appearance, a slender figure with bumps, and was wearing bright pink tight-colored underwear that showed her figure very well.

"It's two handsome guys." The new lady was very cheerful, and greeted Cheng Jin and Yang Simi as soon as she saw them.

She introduced herself that her surname was Weng, and the man beside her was surnamed Qiu. They were going to Xuelu Valley by car, but now the road was blocked, so they had to go on foot instead.

"I should be older than you," the lady reported her age without any sense of confidentiality, and then said, "You should call me Sister Weng just like Sister Zhu."

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Okay, Sister Weng."

I made a misjudgment earlier, thinking that she was much younger than Sister Zhu and the others, but it turned out that she was not too young, she just looked younger.

The two new friends didn't plan to hike, so they didn't prepare equipment, so they had to buy it now.

They changed into a pair of shoes suitable for hiking, and bought trekking poles. As for the knee pads, Brother Qiu bought them and Sister Weng didn't.

When the two were choosing equipment, Sister Zhu enthusiastically helped them choose together, while Brother Wei chatted with Cheng Jin and Yang Simi. Brother Wei talked about their unfortunate experience in Yunchuan in detail——

The main points are the two points that Sister Zhu said before. One is that I did not see the Rizhao Jinshan, and the other is that I took the early bus to enter the valley but encountered a landslide and a broken road.

Cheng Jin comforted him: "It's also a rare experience."

Brother Wei smiled and said, "That's true."

After the new friends bought the equipment, they went to store the extra luggage, and then everyone was ready to go.

At this time, the clouds parted quietly and the sun sneaked out.

Sister Weng looked at the sky and said, "The sun here is very poisonous, you must apply enough sunscreen, or your face will swell up and peel off tomorrow. Let's put on sunscreen again."

They are all wearing long-sleeved trousers, so their bodies are covered and they cannot be exposed to the sun.

Only the exposed face and neck need to be protected. In fact, they all wear hats, but the angle of the sun will change with time, and the hats cannot completely resist it.

Sister Zhu took out the sunscreen spray and pointed it at Brother Wei: "Close your eyes and hold your breath!" Then she sprayed him all over his head and face.

After spraying, he called Cheng Jin and Yang Simi: "Xiao Cheng, Xiao Yang, can I get some for you too?"

Cheng Jin hurriedly declined: "No, no, we have sunscreen."

After taking good protection, the 6 people finally set off officially.

At first it was a flat road, but soon it turned into a mountain road. Because there are many people hiking here, the mountain road is quite wide, but it is not wide enough for two people to walk side by side, and it can only be passed by one person.

The place outside the mountain road is full of tall trees and low shrubs. The trees occupy the upper space, stretch out their branches and leaves to absorb the sunlight, and the shrubs fill the lower space. If you look at the deep forest and dense grass, if there is no ready-made mountain road, Then running here to play is not hiking, but survival in the wilderness.

Because it is up the mountain, although it rained last night, the sloping mountain road is not easy to accumulate water, and the road surface is relatively flat. Generally speaking, it is not difficult to walk.

After about an hour, they came out of the dense forest and came to a road, which was wide enough for a car to drive, but it was still a dirt road, but it was not stepped on, but dug out.

Sister Weng: "This road used to be the road here, but a new road was built a few years ago, and this section of the road was abandoned."

The new road was built on the basis of the old road, so only part of the road was abandoned.

Cheng Jin: "Sister Weng, you know this place very well. Are you a travel expert like Sister Zhu?"

"I really like to travel, and I have been to many places." Sister Weng smiled, "But I am familiar with this place not because of this, but because I have lived here for several years, and my ex-husband is from here. .”

"... Oh." Cheng Jin was very surprised. Sister Zhu and Brother Wei didn't show any surprise. They should have known this information a long time ago.

There is a rest pavilion on the side of the road ahead, everyone goes to rest.

Brother Wei calculated the time: "We have only walked for 1 hour, but it feels like we have walked for a long time...then we will walk for another 5 hours."

He asked Sister Zhu: "How are you? Are you okay?"

Sister Zhu smiled and said, "If you can't do it, you have to do it."

Sister Weng doesn't look very tired, she seems to have good physical strength, judging by her figure, it is estimated that she has the habit of exercising.

She said: "I remember being able to ride a horse before." Now they haven't seen a horse for a while. "Maybe there is up ahead. When we can't walk anymore, we can ask the locals who are leading the horses. They should be able to ride for a fee."

After resting for 10 minutes, everyone continued to move forward.

The road after that is wider than the previous mountain road, but it is also more uneven, with many sections of rocks, so you need to be careful when walking, otherwise it is not easy to sprain your feet.

At the same time, the scenery is also more beautiful. The number of shrubs in the forest has decreased a lot, and the ground is covered with dark green moss.

Sister Weng and her male partner, Brother Qiu, stopped to take pictures. Sister Weng was very good at taking turns in various difficult poses, such as handstand, standing splits, and handstand splits, which stunned everyone.

After that, Sister Weng started to stop frequently to take pictures, and the two of them fell behind.

Sister Zhu looked at a fallen tree trunk by the roadside and said, "Let's take a break and wait for them?"

The four sat down to rest.

Cheng Jin handed the water bottle to Yang Simi, but Yang Simi refused to take it, so he drank it by himself.

After he finished drinking, Yang Simi said, "I want it too."

But he didn't do it himself, but waited for Cheng Jin to feed him.

Cheng Jin looked at him, brushed the sweaty hair from his cheeks behind his ears, and then fed him water.

Sister Zhu looked at them, and now she was finally sure: these two people are really a couple.

"Xiao Cheng, Xiao Yang, are you dating?"

"..." Brother Wei coughed awkwardly.

Cheng Jin continued to feed Yang Simi water, with a smile on his lips: "Yes. Sister Zhu and Brother Wei don't mind, do you? You seem to be quite open."

Brother Wei hurriedly said, "I don't mind, I don't mind."

"It's nothing to mind." Sister Zhu smiled, "Live according to your own ideas, you are fine."

Yang Simi pushed Cheng Jin's hand, indicating that he had had enough.

Cheng Jin took the water bottle away, screwed on the lid and put it back in the bag.

"But, aren't you afraid?" Sister Zhu asked.

Cheng Jin: "What are you afraid of?"

Sister Zhu said embarrassingly: "I can't say it well, secular prejudice, family and friends don't understand, etc. Like me and your brother Wei just don't want to have children, there are many people who don't understand, sometimes I am quite confused."

Cheng Jin smiled: "We're fine, the people around haven't said anything."

"Don't get in touch with people who don't understand you, and associate more with people who understand you, so that you will become confident and happy." Yang Simi gave advice.

Sister Zhu looked at him and said with a smile: "I always thought you were very cool, Xiao Yang, cool and heart-warming, that's great."

Brother Wei nodded in agreement: "Yes, he is still handsome, and Xiao Cheng is also handsome."

Yang Simi didn't speak, but looked at Cheng Jin, using his eyes to convey to him what he didn't say: these two fools.

After resting for a while, Sister Weng and the others still did not catch up.

"Are you still taking pictures?" Cheng Jin was puzzled, "Hasn't she stayed here for a few years? It's not the first time she's here, why does she still like taking pictures so much?"

Sister Zhu: "Her ex-husband is a rich man. In the past, she didn't have to walk on mountain roads. She used to go in and out by car, so she probably hasn't been here much."

"Rich people?" Cheng Jin said, "Are the people in Xuelu Valley rich?"

I always feel that people in this remote area should have been poorer before, but the tourism industry in Snow Deer Valley has developed better, so maybe the people there are richer.

"People in Xuelu Valley may not be rich, but ah, her ex-husband is Zhu Yong." Sister Zhu said.

"Ah?" Cheng Jin was very surprised. He didn't expect this at all, mainly because he didn't know about Zhu Yong's marital status, and he didn't see anything about it on the Internet.

"Didn't Brother Wei and I meet Zhu Yong once before? She was also there at that time."

"Oh." Cheng Jin said, "Then she is going to Xuelu Valley to meet Zhu Yong?"

"Yes. Zhu Yong is back, and she always wants to come and have a look. She and Zhu Yong have a child, and this time I came to see Zhu Yong and the child."

"Yeah." Cheng Jin nodded.If there are children, the relationship between the two is not so easy to break.

Sister Weng and the others never came up, and the four of them continued walking.

Sister Zhu and Brother Wei were of average physical strength, stopping and going, while Cheng Jin and Yang Simi seldom stopped, and the four of them separated as they walked.

About half an hour later, Cheng Jin and Yang Simi saw a supply station, which looked like a large wooden shed from the outside, and there were many passengers resting and eating inside.

Cheng Jin asked Yang Simi if he wanted something to eat.

Yang Simi looked aside: "I want to ride a horse, no, a donkey or a mule."

In the woods not far away, several donkeys and mules are grazing leisurely. At first glance, they look like horses.

It is just right to put them here, many people are almost exhausted walking here, so they can just be hired as a means of transportation.

But Yang Simi is not physically weak, he just wants to ride.

"Do you want to ride it here, or do you want to ride it up the mountain?" Cheng Jin asked.

"casual."

"Let's go up the mountain first. I don't want to ride down again." Cheng Jin asked again, "Do you want to eat something first?"

Yang Simi shook his head, and the two of them just drank some water and went to ride the donkey.

After dangling on the donkey's back for 40 minutes, the two reached Luoheguan, the highest point of the hike.

Here's another supply depot.

This time Yang Simi said that he wanted to eat instant noodles like other passengers.

Two bowls of instant noodles, one bowl of chicken soup, and one bowl of pickled peppers. The two stood on the hillside eating instant noodles while watching the scenery.

In the lower part of the distance, there is an hourglass-shaped valley cut out by several peaks. There are buildings in the upper and lower valleys. They are the North Valley and the South Valley, collectively known as Snow Deer Valley.

Jinmeng Villa is located in Beitan, it is a large manor with several buildings and a large courtyard.

Whether it is North Valley or South Valley, there are snow-capped mountains around. The mountains here seem to have snow-tops as long as they are high enough. The short mountains are still green. The mountains farther to the west are taller and whiter. Where is the mountain and where is the cloud, that is the field that only professionals can explore.

The two bowls of instant noodles were shared by the two of them and they were finished quickly.

The rest of the journey was mainly downhill, and the two of them stopped riding the donkey. After more than an hour, they arrived at the entrance of Snow Deer Valley.

"Didn't it say it would take 6 hours?" Cheng Jin said, "Why did we finish the journey in less than 4 hours? Oh, I forgot, we rode donkeys part of the way."

Yang Simi: "That donkey is not walking fast."

"After all, I rode a donkey to save energy."

What they arrived at now is Chatan. From a close look, this is a village that looks pretty good, with cement roads and wooden houses. Because they rely on tourism for food, the houses here are all pretty beautiful.

Cheng Jin: "Where do we live?"

"Whatever." After speaking, Yang Simi looked at Cheng Jin, "Do you want to live in Jinmeng Villa and go there to watch gossip?"
