Chapter 211: A round of deception
Li Chengxi had heard of Jinniu Mountain, after all, it was not far from his city.
This was one of the few places nearby that could be considered a mountain instead of a slope, but the adjective "beautiful scenery" could not be applied to Jinniu Mountain.
This mountain was worthy of its name, as if it was a cow lying on the ground. I remember that it was also the poorest place nearby.
I remember hearing my family mention when I was a child that every household in the nearby city had already started using computers, and the villages on the Jinniu Mountain side had just been electrified.
Most of the people in the village had gone to work in the city, and few young people stayed here, but in the past two years, they were working to help the poor and vigorously promote the tourism industry.
The brand new highway near Jinniu Village, and the government's guidance to run a farmhouse, seemed to make Jinniu Mountain a nearby resort.
For those who want to travel but don't want to go far, this place is very suitable.
Of course, Li Chengxi had heard of it but had never been here.
He looked at the windbreak outside the window retreating, and said to Qian Sen in the front row:
"I've heard rumors of supernatural events on this road nearby. Is it true?"
Li Chengxi remembered that a serious accident occurred soon after the road next to Jinniu Mountain was opened to traffic. Later, people had car accidents on the same road section one after another, and the survival rate was very low. For a time, it caused a lot of discussion, and this road often jumped back and forth between opening and closing.
"It's true, there is a ghost causing trouble, but don't worry, it has been settled."
This is not Qian Sen's jurisdiction, but because it is close to him, he has heard of these things.
"I haven't seen the specific report, but I heard that the local Jiu Department found a master and solved it in one day."
"Uh...will there be any more problems?"
Li Chengxi just asked casually, but he didn't expect it to be true.
"Don't worry, I heard that there is only a ghost in an ancient tomb on the mountain, which has been completely eliminated. Even the ancient tomb is now being repaired and reinforced, and it will be opened as a tourist attraction in the future."
"..."
Li Chengxi felt that the ghost was so miserable after listening to it.
"I've heard about this, too."
Lei Lei, who was not far away, interrupted:
"It seems that they first approached the Li family, but the price they asked was too high, and they were not sure."
"Then do you know who the expert they are looking for is?"
"I don't know, it's just some rumors."
As they were talking, the business car had already driven in and stopped at the parking lot in front of a farmhouse.
Qian Sen clapped his hands and said:
"If you are curious, let's go around in the afternoon. Let's get off the car and check in first."
Pushing the door and getting out of the car, the sun was a little too strong even in October. Li Chengxi looked around and found that there seemed to be few guests in this farmhouse, and there were not many cars in the parking lot.
"Many entertainment projects here are still under construction. They are now in a trial operation state, and there are not many tourists. It's just that there are few people, which is convenient for us to move around."
Qian Sen actually found a scenic spot with few people during the National Day holiday.
Li Chengxi turned around to help Aoerdai and others down, and at this time a surprised voice came from behind:
"Brother Li? Why are you here?"
Looking back, it turned out to be Xue Wenshu with a backpack on his back.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Seeing Xue Wenshu, Li Chengxi remembered that he had said before that he wanted to go hiking, and he had also clearly said that he wanted to climb Jinniu Mountain. He also bought a lot of snacks and drinks in the morning.
Li Chengxi greeted him and said:
"I came here with my friends on a whim."
Then Xue Wenshu saw Aoerdai getting off the car, and immediately realized:
"No wonder you kept saying you'd think about it when I asked you to come."
He also squinted his eyes in a very obscene way, indicating that I understand everything, and I don't know what he understands.
"Where are your classmates? You didn't come by yourself, did you?"
Even if it's not far, it doesn't feel safe to let a group of high school students take a car to the suburbs of the next city.
"No, the teacher brought us here."
As he was talking, Li Chengxi saw a young female teacher in her twenties with glasses coming out of the farmhouse. She seemed to be looking for Xue Wenshu. When she saw him next to Li Chengxi, she walked over quickly.
"Teacher Lin, this is my brother. I just bumped into him by chance."
"Your real brother?"
"I just live next door to him. We've been together for a long time, so I'm almost like his real brother."
Teacher Lin was wearing a sports outfit and looked about the same age as Li Chengxi.
"Hello, I'm Lin Qiaoya, the head teacher of Xue Wenshu."
"Hello, teacher. It's so tiring to be the head teacher of this kid. You've worked so hard."
After shaking hands, Lin Qiaoya looked at Aoerdai and frowned immediately.
When Li Chengxi was in school, the thing he feared most was the head teacher frowning. Lin Qiaoya was not very old, but when she frowned, she looked like a head teacher. I don't know how she managed to be the same across the country.
"Are you also a student at No. 3 Middle School? Which class are you in?"
No. 3 Middle School is a key middle school with strict management of students. Dyeing hair, wearing contact lenses, and tattoos are absolutely not allowed. If you are found out, you will be criticized at the least or expelled at the worst.
Aoerdai looks too young. Lin Qiaoya probably thought she was a freshman in high school.
When she came out, she forgot to dye her hair black. With her silver-blue eyes, the first reaction of outsiders was that she dyed her hair and wore contact lenses.
"This is my cousin. She is in her twenties and not a high school student."
Lin Qiaoya certainly hadn't seen Aoerdai at school. She asked this question purely out of a teacher's occupational disease, and she immediately relaxed after hearing this.
At this time, Lei Lei and Gan Xiaoyan also got off the car from the side, and Xue Wenshu's eyes widened immediately.
He pointed at Li Chengxi, and then at Lei Lei and Gan Xiaoyan. Although he didn't say anything, he seemed to be surprised why the two of them came with Li Chengxi.
It was normal for Li Chengxi to bring Aoerdai to play with him, but Lei Lei and Gan Xiaoyan were not related, which made people imagine.
Li Chengxi used his eyes to signal him not to say anything, but Lin Qiaoya recognized Lei Lei and Gan Xiaoyan as students of her school at a glance.
Although they were not in her class, they were in the next class, so how could she not know them.
Just as she was about to ask, Qian Sen came to rescue her.
"Teacher Lin, right? Hello, I'm Li Chengxi's college senior."
"Hello, I want to know why students from our school came out with you."
Lin Qiaoya spoke without reservation, which probably meant that she thought Li Chengxi and Qian Sen were the kind of people who fooled high school girls with bad intentions.
"They are cousins of our two classmates, and we just invited them when we went out to play."
Not only Qian Sen and Gan Xiaoyan came to the Ninth Department, but also a male and a female staff member, who hurried up to explain to Lin Qiaoya after hearing the words.
Lei Lei and Gan Xiaoyan also said that it was right, we just followed our cousins out to play.
Although it made sense, Lin Qiaoya still felt a little unconvinced. Maybe she would call her colleagues later to confirm the situation at Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei's home.
This teacher is good, quite responsible.
Xue Wenshu couldn't help but want to ask, but was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he scratched his head like a monkey.
After a lot of fooling, Lin Qiaoya's doubts were finally dispelled for the time being.
Seeing her leading Xue Wenshu away, Qian Sen also looked at his watch and said:
"Let's go in too, we can just make it in time for lunch."
