Chapter 585 587 Nine Ring Mountain
"Sister Rong..." Jiang Jie was about to speak.
"Ajie, listen to me first. I don't think you want to leave the team completely this time you go home, right?" Rong Xianxian asked him.
"Of course not!" Jiang Jie denied.
"Since you are planning to return to the team, don't you want to take your family to the capital?" Rong Xianxian asked him.
"Of course I want to, but I don't know if my parents are willing to go!" Jiang Jie scratched his head.
Jiang Jie's family lives in a mountain village. His parents are both locals. They each have brothers and sisters. Their parents are still alive and their brothers and sisters also have their own families. Jiang Jie's parents have a good relationship with these relatives. They all say that it is hard to leave their hometown. Jiang Jie doesn't know whether his parents are willing to go to Beijing with him.
"This is why I asked you to go back early. The future situation is unpredictable. How many small and medium-sized safe zones will be breached by monsters, cities will be destroyed and people will die. Look at the tasks tied to the mercenary center's tasks. A level four monster can destroy a small or medium-sized safe zone. The rescue team sent by the military can't save it. That's why they have to turn to the civilian mercenary groups. For a long time in the future, the capital's safe zone is the only safe place. If you still want to go back to the capital, you must convince your parents to go with you, so that you don't have to worry and live an uneasy life when you return to the capital." Rong Xianxian patted Jiang Jie on the shoulder and said.
"As for this mission..." Jiang Jie was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, we are not far from Gushizhai. I will come to pick you up after completing the task." Rong Xianxian said.
Jiang Jie also understood what Rong Xianxian meant. He had many relatives and in-laws in his hometown. If he made a decision to move away from his hometown in a hurry, it would inevitably be a bit hasty. And when he returned after completing the mission, Rong Xianxian would not be able to wait for him for too long with a large group. He went back early so that his family could make plans early.
Jiang Jie finally accepted Rong Xianxian's arrangement. The convoy stopped in an abandoned town. When the team set up camp to rest, Rong Xianxian gave some instructions to Pan Yang, He Wen, Huo Ye and others, and then she and Jiang Jie rode on a flying skateboard and flew towards Jiang Jie's hometown.
Rong Xianxian has now advanced to the Blood Refining Realm and has sufficient spiritual energy in her body. She can fly hundreds of miles on a flying carpet without any problem. However, she may encounter attacks from dangerous monsters during the flight. In addition, she has to bear the weight of a person. To be on the safe side, she did not use the flying carpet at the beginning.
Sure enough, they encountered several waves of flying monster attacks along the way. When the flying skateboard ran out of energy, Rong Xianxian used a flying carpet instead. When the road conditions on the ground were good, they drove forward. It took them about three hours to reach the mountain village where Jiang Jie's hometown was.
The houses in the small mountain village were dilapidated and had long been deserted. Jiang Jie found his yard and saw a few big characters written in red paint on the wall: "Jiuhuan Mountain."
"They went to Jiuhuan Mountain!" Jiang Jie turned around and said to Rong Xianxian.
"What is Jiuhuan Mountain? Why don't they go to the nearest safe zone?" Rong Xianxian originally wanted to take Jiang Jie to the safe zone to look for people, but Jiang Jie insisted on going home first. It seemed that he had already expected that his family would not go to the safe zone.
"We are in a mountainous area with a sparse population, rugged roads, and inconvenient transportation. It is also far away from the county town where the military is stationed. At that time, the official rescue team would not be able to come to us. In addition, our ancestors here are all hunters. My father's generation often went into the mountains to hunt and collect herbs. So at that time, we would not wait for official rescue, but unite to make a living." The technique of setting traps that Jiang Jie learned from the beginning was passed down from his family.
"Then why do we have to go to Jiuhuan Mountain?" Rong Xianxian looked around. Everywhere she looked were hilltops and dense trees. It looked deserted.
"There is a huge natural cave at the foot of Jiuhuan Mountain. My grandfather told me that soldiers used to hide there during the turbulent times. The entrance is hidden and narrow, very safe, and only we locals know about it." Jiang Jie said this with a smile on his face. He often went there to play with his friends when he was a child.
The reason why Jiang Jie didn't worry about his family's safety before was because he knew that in that situation, the family had food stored at home and living together was much safer than him being alone outside.
"If that place is relatively secretive, I shouldn't be there." After all, to the villagers, she was just an outsider.
"It's okay, Sister Rong, you are my friend and you won't do anything to them." Jiang Jie said quickly.
"You think so, but others may not. However, I still have to see you reunited with your family before I can feel at ease." There are many dangers in the wild, and Rong Xianxian cannot leave Jiang Jie alone.
"It should be not far from the Jiuhuan Mountain you mentioned, right?" Rong Xianxian asked Jiang Jie.
"It's not far. Just go over this hill, turn a corner, and climb another hill and you'll be there." Jiang Jie said, pointing to the road ahead.
"Let's drive to the road ahead!" Rong Xianxian waved her hand and took out a half-new military truck from the foggy space.
"What's on this truck?" Jiang Jie asked in surprise as he looked at the several large boxes in the truck.
"Daily necessities! Aren't you going to bring some gifts for your family when you go home?" Rong Xianxian signaled Jiang Jie to drive, while she sat in the passenger seat and activated the invisibility barrier.
"I, I brought it!" Jiang Jie said, patting the backpack on his back.
"How much can be packed in a bag? There are many Beijing specialties in this box, such as clothes and soft armor, and a whole box of salt. Don't you have many relatives? They should be able to use it." Rong Xianxian said.
As the two talked, they soon found a valley covered with weeds. Jiang Jie drove the car to a flat place and parked it. As soon as he parked the car and opened the door, a group of people with bows and arrows surrounded him and shouted, "What do you do?"
Jiang Jie looked at the bright arrow pointing at him, and subconsciously glanced at the seat next to him. Sister Rong was still in the car.
"Brother, is that you?" Before Jiang Jie could speak, someone suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Ah, it's really Brother Jie, quickly collect all the arrows, Jiang Tao's brother Jiang Jie is back!" someone shouted.
Jiang Jie also saw his younger brother Jiang Tao. After the two brothers hugged each other, Jiang Jie asked his younger brother to help move things. He immediately opened the passenger door and asked Rong Xianxian to get out of the car on the pretext of getting something. When Rong Xianxian passed by Jiang Jie, she quickly patted him and left.
After Rong Xianxian walked out of the valley, she listened to the lively laughter below and left with peace of mind.
