Chapter 4216: Salt Lake

Jiang Wenhui looked at Lin Yi and had to listen to him on what to decide.

"Then let's go together, but we are not responsible for other matters."

"okay."

After the communication, the four of them walked together towards the top of the mountain.

"Lulu, this is not necessary. It's just climbing a mountain. Why bother so much?"

The boy said reluctantly, and it was obvious that he was not very interested in climbing to the top of the mountain.

"My goal is to climb to the top of the mountain. Now that I'm here, if I don't go up once, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

The girl's attitude was firm and she did not waver at all.

"If you feel tired, go down first. When I come back, we'll meet at the B&B downstairs."

The girl did not stop at all and walked towards the top of the mountain unwaveringly.

"That's not what I meant. I'm just worried that you're too tired."

"It's okay. I'm still strong enough. Don't worry about that."

Seeing that the girl's attitude did not waver at all, the boy knew that he could not persuade her anymore, so he simply said nothing more and followed her reluctantly.

Along the way, the communication between the few people was not much, but some basic information was learned.

The girl's name is Xu Lu, a dance teacher who loves sports and mountain climbing. She has climbed almost all the mountains, big and small, across the country, and this time she came to Ailao Mountain.

The boy's name is Ma Yusheng.

He is Xu Lu's suitor. His family has a little money, so he followed her here just to accompany her.

But judging by the relationship between the two, this mountain climbing trip doesn't seem to warm up their relationship, and may even backfire.

Along the way, Lin Yi didn't say much and spent most of his time observing the surrounding scenery.

As he walked, Lin Yi heard the sound of water, so he quickened his pace and walked over.

After walking about a few dozen meters, I saw a small waterfall in front of me, and below it was a pool of water flowing downwards.

"what……"

A look of slight disgust appeared on Xu Lu's face.

"Those dense, white things look a bit disgusting."

"That's because you're too far away. If you look closely you won't see that."

"Sister Hui, do you know what that is?"

"It's actually just moss and algae, some green and some brown, growing together. That's what you see now. It's nothing."

"What are those white things?"

"Salt."

"The salinity in the water is a little higher than normal water, so it leaves those white spots on the rock wall."

“This place is so magical.”

"Indeed, I heard that it was the rocks in the mountains that contained salt that caused it to become what it is today."

"It seems that this trip to Ailao Mountain was not in vain."

While the two women were chatting, Lin Yi fell into deep thought.

When my dad came here, he said he encountered an octopus monster and that the big guy lived in a salt lake.

Looking at what Jiang Wenhui said, the two people's statements match each other.

This place is really unpredictable.

After viewing the scenery of the waterfall, the group of four continued walking forward.

After about two hours, we reached the top of the mountain.

Not far ahead, there was a rusty sign with a few large words written on it.

"No climbing allowed, turn back immediately."

Looking at the sign in front, Xu Lu said:

"Sister Hui, is this the top of the mountain?"

Jiang Wenhui nodded and pointed to the road under her feet. "When I first came here, there was a road here. Maybe no one has climbed here for too long, and weeds have grown and there is no road anymore."

"Looking at this, it's very likely that it's been sealed off for many years. These weeds are up to my knees."

"Didn't there always happen accidents in the past few years? Maybe the scenic spot doesn't want to cause trouble, so it just closed it down."

"Lulu, I checked when I came here. Ailao Mountain is a very weird place. Many people went in and never came out. I think we should go back." Ma Yusheng said.

"The video is not about this Ailao Mountain, don't worry."

Lin Yi glanced at Xu Lu.

It seems that she knows the main peak of Ailao Mountain.

Jiang Wenhui looked at Lin Yi, "What do you think? Do you still want to go up?"

"If you don't go up and take a look, it would be a waste of time." Lin Yi looked at Jiang Wenhui and said:

"This place is relatively flat. You don't have to wait for me here. I'll go up and take a look and then come back down."

"It's okay, I'll go with you. This is nothing to us."

"Okay, let's go."

Lin Yi is still somewhat confident about this matter.

I can’t say anything else, but if I want to protect Jiang Wenhui’s safety, there will definitely be no problem.

Lin Yi turned around, looked at Xu Lu and said:

"We'll go ahead and you guys follow behind."

"Uh-huh."

There was a hint of excitement in Xu Lu's eyes.

After climbing for so long, we finally reached the summit.

Lin Yi walked in front, took out his dagger, and as he walked, he cut down all the tall weeds in front of him so as not to delay the people behind him.

Although the road to the summit is not long, the progress is not very fast due to the poor road conditions.

After about half an hour, Lin Yi climbed to the top of the mountain.

After reaching the top, Lin Yi reached out and pulled Jiang Wenhui up from the rock below.

Then he reached out to pull Xu Lu.

"Thank you handsome man."

Xu Lu stretched out her hand. After climbing for so long, she was a little exhausted.

If Lin Yi didn't help me, it would probably take a lot of effort to do it.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Xu Lu reached out his hand, Ma Yusheng stood in front of him.

"I'd better go up and pull you up."

The three of them looked at Ma Yusheng. Lin Yi and Jiang Wenhui could understand his behavior.

"What are you doing? Just pulling it."

Xu Lu was a little unhappy. Everyone was helping each other. Now they were at the top of the mountain and others took the initiative to help. He hadn't even had time to thank them, but he did this to them. He really had no sense at all.

"I know. What I mean is, I can climb up here, so I can help you."

As he spoke, Ma Yusheng prepared himself.

The stone steps in front of him were about 1.5 meters high. Lin Yi could climb up easily, but that didn't mean others could do the same.

Ma Yusheng tried several times in a row, but failed every time and couldn't get up.

After trying three or four times, he still failed to get up, and Ma Yusheng looked a little embarrassed.

"This stone is too slippery. Let me wipe it."

"You wipe it first."

As she spoke, Xu Lu extended her hand to Lin Yi, "Handsome guy, give me a hand."

"It's okay for me to pull you, but what if your boyfriend gets mad?"

"Don't get me wrong, he's not my boyfriend, he's just an ordinary friend."

Ma Yusheng was now even more embarrassed, but what Xu Lu said was not wrong, the two were indeed not in a romantic relationship.

"Then come up."
