Skilled in managing a house

Zhang Yu sat at the mountain pass and waited, and everyone else stood behind him. As time passed, some people seemed to be unable to stand any longer and did not dare to go back to the car to sit. They might as well follow Zhang Yu's example. , sit down on the ground and rest.

Zhang Yu was calm, lit a cigarette, and started smoking slowly.

After more than an hour, Du Meng did not come back. The mountain was quiet, and except for the occasional sound of wind blowing on the grass and trees, there was no other movement.

Forget it if Du Meng didn't come down, Jie Feng hasn't come back yet, which made Zhang Yu couldn't help but turn around and ask: "Is your cafeteria far from here?"

"It's not too far." A man immediately replied.

"Why did it take so long to get there? It took more than an hour." Zhang Yu said.

"Maybe the cook fell asleep, or something happened. Sir... don't worry, I'll call you to ask..." the man said.

"Okay." After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he dozed off.

The man took out his phone, dialed a number, and explained what Zhang Yu had urged.

He quickly hung up the phone and said, "Sir, the manager said he would be back soon, it will only take a few minutes."

"That's not bad." Zhang Yu said.

Not to mention, after another five or six minutes, the sound of the car's motor could be heard. Soon, the car stopped not far away.

Everyone who had already sat down quickly got up from the ground, leaving Zhang Yu alone, sitting still.

Zhang Yu could clearly hear the sound of the car door opening, and following the sound of footsteps, Jie Feng's voice also sounded, "Mr. Zheng, the food is here, I kept you waiting for a long time..."

"It's okay." Zhang Yu said lightly.

Immediately, Jie Feng came to Zhang Yu and squatted down, holding a plastic bag in his hand containing a convenient lunch box.

Jie Feng put down his pocket and said, "The cooks are asleep, so I woke up first and cooked a few dishes. I don't know if they suit your taste."

"I can just eat whatever I want." Zhang Yu said, taking out the lunch box from his pocket.

There are four lunch boxes in total. After opening, there are two boxes of lunch and two boxes of vegetables. Zhang Yu was also hungry, so he picked it up and ate it unceremoniously. Agou in his arms stretched his head, as if he also wanted to eat some. But because there were so many people present and there weren't many things, I didn't scream.

Zhang Yu ate all his food after a while. He stretched out, stood up with Agou in his arms, and said, "I'm full..."

"Mr. Zheng...well...Mr. Du has been up there for a while...Look now..." Jie Feng said cautiously.

"I'll just go up the mountain and have a look. But to be honest, this mountain is really big. If you go up there for an hour or two, you won't be able to go very far. If you try to find the person, it will be in vain. I have done it before. I'm just hungry. Now that I'm full, let's go up and walk around." After Zhang Yu said this, he hugged Agou and walked up the mountain.

When Jie Feng saw Zhang Yu going up the mountain alone, he quickly said, "Mr. Zheng, I don't know if you need help..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu turned around and looked up and down at Jie Feng.

Being looked at by Zhang Yu like this, Jie Feng couldn't help but shiver and said quickly: "My...Mr. Zheng, do you need a flashlight..."

Judging from his posture, it seemed as if he was afraid that Zhang Yu would ask him to follow him up the mountain.

Zhang Yu grinned and said, "No, I'll just go up there myself. You guys can just wait below."

"Okay, okay...Thank you, Mr. Zheng..." Jie Feng breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been granted amnesty.

Zhang Yu turned around again and walked up the mountain. He was full of doubts. There must be something wrong on the mountain. There must be something fishy about the Qiao family asking him to come here. But the problem is that people can't figure out where the trick is for a while.

As the saying goes, let's settle down when you come. Zhang Yu couldn't just leave. He said in his heart, the old ghost of the Qiao family is really cunning. Come up and arrange errands for me.

After walking up there for a while, there were trees all around, and nothing unusual could be seen. Looking back down the mountain, I could no longer see the people and cars below because of the trees.

Zhang Yu touched Agou's head in his arms and said, "Agou, it's your turn. Go find the guy who came with me."

"Woof." Agou barked in a low voice, nodded slightly, and then ran from Zhang Yu's arms to the ground.

The little guy kept sniffing on the ground and walked forward. Zhang Yu followed Ah Gou. After walking for a while, Zhang Yu saw that there was an arrow carved on the trunk of the big tree in front of him. . The arrow pointed to the right. After Ah Gou came here, he sniffed twice and walked to the right.

When Zhang Yu saw this, he whispered: "Wait, don't leave yet."

Agou returned to Zhang Yu's feet obediently and followed Zhang Yu to the big tree.

Zhang Yu carefully examined the marks on the tree, then squatted down to examine the fallen bark on the ground. After watching for a while, Zhang Yu was almost sure that the bark had not just been peeled off. But Zhang Yu couldn't be sure how long ago it was peeled off. All he could be sure of was this.

"Could it be left behind by people who came up during the day..." Zhang Yu muttered in his heart, and then he subconsciously turned his head to look at the path to the left.

In fact, the paths on the left and right sides of the woods are similar. There are trees everywhere and nothing else can be seen.

At this moment, a smile appeared on Zhang Yu's face, and he secretly asked: "I don't know what the Qiao family's purpose is, but I don't need to know it now. After all, my purpose is just to determine whether the Qiao family is responsible for stealing Tianyin." Qin's people are related. Anyway, now I am looking for someone in the forest farm, and there is no guarantee that I will be able to find him. If I follow the signs, God knows where I will be led. I might as well go in the opposite direction. Such a big If you wander around the mountains, the sky will be bright. Then I will just go down the mountain by myself..."

After making up his mind, Zhang Yu whispered: "Agou, come with me."

After saying that, he walked to the left.

There were trees everywhere here, and it was extremely dark. Just as Zhang Yu thought, it was normal to find no one, and it was no big deal.

After walking forward for a while, Zhang Yu suddenly saw some pattern carved on the trunk of a big tree in front of him.

"Huh?" Zhang Yu was puzzled for a while, and walked quickly to the tree. This time he could see clearly that there was still an arrow mark carved on the trunk, but the arrow of this mark was pointing upward.

Seeing this mark, Zhang Yu couldn't help but raise his head, first glanced at the dense tree crown, and then looked toward the mountain.

Where he is now, he should be halfway up the mountain. If he keeps going up, he should be heading for the top of the mountain.

Of course, what puzzled Zhang Yu was not how to take the path, but why arrows appeared here.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Yu vaguely realized that there were too many people coming up to look for them, and they were all walking on different paths, so they each left their own signposts.
