Chapter 411 411. You actually lied to me?

Soon, Lin Wu and Zheng Yuan arrived at the airport, flew to Lingnan via private plane, and landed in Sichuan City that Zheng Jingmin had mentioned.

Chuancheng is the closest province and city to Shiwanda Mountain in Lingnan. It is the most convenient to enter Shiwanda Mountain from here, and you can directly prepare all necessary supplies locally.

But Lin Wu and Zheng Yuan don’t need to prepare anymore. Lin Wuyou told Bai Jing in advance that she would be arriving today, and the other party asked her to go directly there and would prepare the things she needed.

Lin Wu did not rent another car, but bought an off-road vehicle in Sichuan City and drove there.

 Zheng Yuan was still driving on the road, and Lin Wu was in the back seat looking at the map Zheng Jingmin sent her.

 After a while, the cell phone rang.

Zheng Yuan glanced at him and said, "Master, it was Miss Bai who called me."

Lin Wu didn’t raise his head and stretched out his hand.

Zheng Yuan took the phone with one hand and handed it to Lin Wu.

Once connected, Bai Jing’s voice came: “When will we arrive?”

Lin Wu estimated the time, "It will probably be late at night."

Over there, Bai Jing was surprised: "Why so late? Did you just get on the plane?"

"No, I have already left Sichuan City and entered the mountains." Lin Wu's eyes fell on a certain location on the map and said, "But I want to visit a place first, and then go to Zhangjiacun. Near Zhangjiacun The mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, so we have to take a detour, which takes a long time."

Bai Jing asked: "Where to go? The back mountain of Zhangjiacun?"

"No. I see there is a small valley thirteen miles southwest of Zhangjiacun. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only outlet is a river. Go there and have a look." Lin Wu said.

This made Bai Jing wonder: "What are you doing over there?"

Lin Wu: "I went to find Zheng Jingmin, Shi Xing's boss, and got a map from him. It is marked on the map that this is Zheng Mingxian's final destination."

Bai Jing was even more surprised: "The whereabouts of Master Shi Xing's family should be their secret. How did you get it?"

"It's simple. I asked someone to intercept Zheng Jingmin's contact with Lingnan and tell him that I couldn't find Zheng Mingxian and that Zheng Mingxian might be in danger. He was worried about Zheng Mingxian and asked me to help find someone." Lin Wu didn't. Hidden from her.

  Bai Jing’s tone was more subtle: “Are you lying?”

Lin Wu spoke righteously: "How can it be considered a lie? Everything I said is correct. I really can't find Zheng Mingxian, and he may indeed be dangerous."

The corners of Bai Jing’s mouth twitched over there.

"One more thing." Lin Wu spoke again, "Zheng Jingmin got a very special stone from the villagers of a certain village in Thirty-Six Village eighteen years ago, and Zheng Mingxian is now looking for meteorites. I think the two are the same. What a coincidence, Zheng Mingxian is near Zhangjiacun."

Bai Jing suddenly understood: "Do you think the village that Zheng Jingmin went to eighteen years ago was also Zhangjia Village? The reason why Zhangjia Village withdrew from Thirty-six Villages may also be related to this kind of stone?"

Lin Wu hummed, "I don't know for sure, but at least it's a direction. You can check up here first. I'll be there later."

"Okay." Bai Jing agreed, and then asked: "Just two of you. Do you want me to ask Bai Ning to take someone to meet you in some valley?"

"No. If Bai Ning gets tired and injured at my place, you will have to settle the score with me, troublesome." Lin Wu refused immediately.

Bai Jing snorted lightly and hung up the phone.

Lin Wu put down his cell phone, looked at the map for a while, then leveled his seat, lay down and closed his eyes to rest.

Unknowingly, night fell soon.

It was almost midnight when Zheng Yuan woke up Lin Wu: "Master, we are almost there."

Lin Wu rubbed his eyes to wake himself up, sat up and looked out the car window.

They were on a mountain road that went up continuously and had many turns. The night was dark all around outside, and the forest shadows reflected each other, making it especially quiet.

 After a while, the mountain road began to go down.

About ten minutes later, Zheng Yuan finally parked the car at a small intersection. There was a hillside going up. After climbing over and walking a short distance, you could see the river entering the valley.

Lin Wu unbuckled his seat belt, pushed open the car door and got out, briefly moving his aching hands and feet.

Zheng Yuan also got out of the car and came to Lin Wu's side, and asked, "Master, do you want to go directly into the valley to take a look this time?" Lin Wu shook his head, just said to check the situation first, and walked up.

Zheng Yuan followed her with a flashlight for lighting. He also cut a branch and held it in his hand, flicking the leaves and weeds that were blocking the road.

 In late autumn, the vegetation here has turned yellow and withered.

Lin Wu observed his surroundings as he walked. After crossing the hillside, he followed the path. After walking for about fifteen minutes, a river appeared in his sight, and there was no road ahead.

 The two stopped by the river. The river in front of us is about two meters wide, the depth is temporarily unclear, and the current is quite fast.

Lin Wu looked towards the direction of the river, and the other end disappeared into the night of the woods. Although they didn't bring any equipment, if they walked carefully along the river bank, they should be able to enter the valley at the end, but Lin Wu had no intention of entering.

She knelt down and stretched out her hand to test the water. The water was very cold and had a salty smell.

“Is that direction the river leading to the mountain behind Zhangjiacun?” Lin Wu suddenly asked.

Zheng Yuan took out his mobile phone and checked, "Yes."

Lin Wu got up and walked upstream.

Zheng Yuan also followed.

After a while, Lin Wu smelled the salty smell in the air. It was obvious and difficult to ignore. The ground under his feet was also a bit soft.

So she stopped without going any further, squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, smelled it, and then frowned.

Zheng Yuan saw it and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

Lin Wu asked him to grab some soil and smell it.

Zheng Yuan did as he was told and was surprised: "How come the soil here smells of rot and blood?"

"Usually, the soil has this kind of smell, which means that there are tombs that exist underground all year round." Lin Wu looked around and said: "But it is marked on the map that when you enter the valley, you will see a cave pointed by the river. If you go deep into it, You can see the meteorite that Zheng Mingxian and the others are looking for. There is no indication that there are other situations here."

She had heard Bai Jing mention that the archaeological team came to Zhangjiacun for a group of ancient tombs, but she didn't expect that there were also ancient tombs here. This is far away from the back mountain of Zhangjiacun.

Zheng Yuan looked at Lin Wu, waiting for her final words.

As expected, Lin Wu stood up and looked at him and said, "You don't have to go to Zhangjia Village with me. You can find the remaining people from Zheng Mingxian's group stationed in the nearby camp. Just say that Zheng Jingmin sent you to get to know them." The situation. After you find out what they are doing, come back to Zhangjiacun to find me."

She suspected that Zheng Jingmin still didn't tell her the whole truth, or that an accident really happened after Zheng Mingxian and others got here, but they didn't have time to tell Zheng Jingmin.

 Zheng Yuan nodded yes.

Lin Wu passed the map and personnel information to him and said, "You go ahead, I will stay here for a while."

Zheng Yuan was a little worried: "But you are alone..."

"It doesn't matter. Even if there is an accident, it's not necessarily who is in danger." Lin Wu waved his hand.

Zheng Yuan just left, but he turned around every step of the way.

Lin Wu turned on his spare flashlight and checked the river bank and water source.

The two surviving members of the archaeological team that Bai Jing mentioned were all wet, and they forgot everything when they woke up, including Bai Jing and Bai Ning. This made Lin Wu couldn't help but wonder if they had been hit by something that could cause hallucinations or affect their will. And the only thing they all come into contact with is water.

 Perhaps there is a problem with the water?

Lin Wu continued walking upstream toward the back mountain of Zhangjiacun.

Suddenly, Lin Wu’s ears moved slightly and he heard some strange sounds.

She immediately stopped and turned around, looking into the dark forest.

                                                         

  It is the crisp sound of footsteps breaking dry branches on the ground.
