From the original wide road, to the country road, then the narrow and bumpy dirt road, and finally into the small road built by the mine, going straight into the mountains. At around ten o'clock in the morning, Grandpa Jiang Hai stopped in a small town that did not look prosperous.
Everyone got off the car and saw what was considered the largest hotel in the town.
Looking at the dilapidated hotel square and the residents of the surrounding towns, they looked at their luxurious convoy with astonishment.
Nangong Manyun had a look of disappointment on her face. She stayed beside Zhang Fan and asked softly.
"Mr. Zhang Fan, how long do we have to walk? We haven't even reached the mountains yet. Do we have to walk from now on?"
Old Master Jiang Hai laughed at the side. "Little girl, if you are scared now, go back quickly. I will tell you the truth. We have already walked half of the way, but we came here by car. If there is no car, it will probably take seven or eight days to reach the mountains. According to what Ma Youli said on the phone before, we need to enter Changbai Mountain, cross several small mountain ranges, and then cross a big river to reach where we want to go."
Old man Jiang Hai unfolded the book of persuasion against death and pointed his finger at a place on the map.
"We're probably right here!"
Nangong Manyun just rolled his eyes, because according to what was drawn on the map, the Wanku Mountain that everyone wanted to go to was really very far away, perhaps a hundred kilometers or even several hundred kilometers away.
How long will it take to walk this distance on my own?
As the old saying goes, "A horse will die if it runs too fast up a mountain." This is no joke. The road in the mountains is never a straight line, especially if you want to cross mountains and ridges, you have to take many detours.
It might take a whole day to translate just across a hill, let alone such a long distance.
Mr. Fei came forward and looked at the letter of advice on death.
"Grandpa Jiang Hai is indeed knowledgeable. It would take me several months to translate this book and find the original route, but you only need one night. If Grandpa can help repair the ancient map, my master and the others will be so happy that they will forget everything else!"
Old man Jiang Hai laughed: "It's nothing, it's just that I've walked a lot and seen a lot. When I was in the army, I saw countless old-fashioned maps like this, some of which were even heirlooms of the residents. If you don't have some skills, how can you find a way out!"
There was a smug look on Old Man Jiang Hai’s face!
Obviously, in his eyes, the glorious years when he served in the army were an experience he would never forget in his life. No matter when, once he talked about the skills he learned in the army with others, it was definitely something worth bragging about.
Behind, Maarsen and others quickly caught up!
As soon as he got off the car, Marsson ran to Zhang Fan and others.
"You guys are walking too fast. We almost can't catch up with you. Do you want to get rid of us? We are the ones who sponsored you. Without us, it will be difficult for you to enter the mountain."
Hearing what Mason said, Mr. Jiang Hai snorted coldly and walked towards the hotel.
Zhang Fan ignored him. Only Mr. Fei explained, but he was also not interested.
Several people walked into the hotel together, which made Marsan look unhappy.
There is no doubt that no matter where he is, because of his extremely strong financial resources, he is always at the center and everyone revolves around him.
But today, he felt left out.
"Boss, we are very close to our goal, please be patient for now."
Brother Chongzi came forward and kindly explained.
"What do you know! If it weren't for you, Mr. Zhang Fan, Mr. Jiang Hai and others wouldn't reject me so much."
Brother Chongzi's expression paused and the smile on his face became a little stiff.
Fortunately, he is an old fox. Now he has to live under someone else's roof and do things according to his will. Of course, he needs to have some patience.
So I laughed right after that.
But as he smiled, his eyes became filled with viciousness.
"Damn it, if it wasn't for the money, I would have drowned you in the water a long time ago... And you dare to scold me? Do you really think I was brought up by fear?"
Brother Chongzi cursed in anger in his heart and rushed into the hotel with everyone.
We didn't unload our belongings from the car because we were just going to rest here for one night and wait for the guide to arrive!
In this way, several people stayed in the hotel for one night and set off together the next day.
The car drove out of the town and headed north for about 100 kilometers, finally arriving at the foot of Changbai Mountain. There were still many farmers around, and here, Ma Dali, the guide, played a role.
Because there are some dirt roads ahead, you can't drive through them, but if you ride a motorcycle, you can still drive into the mountains for a while.
So Madali mobilized the villagers, and those who had motorcycles at home carried the equipment and helped them deliver it to the foot of the mountainside of Guoliang.
Then they rode on the villagers' motorcycles and came to a big river.
"We will take a boat here and go downstream along the current. Once we pass through the Yixiantian Gorge, we will be deep in the mountains and old forests."
Ma Dali doesn't speak Mandarin well, so he spoke slowly, word by word.
After hearing his words, Malson frowned.
"Why didn't you tell us earlier that we could enter the mountain by water? If that were the case, I would have already bought a boat and come directly by water."
Marsson said this angrily. His patience was gradually disappearing along the way and he seemed to be getting more and more irritable.
Because of such a small matter, we almost had a dispute.
Madali looked at the foreign boss and smiled.
"Boss, you're wrong about me. Do you think it's faster to go by water than by land? And we're going upstream. What kind of boat do you want to buy? How long will it take to order one?"
Hearing Ma Dali's question, Maarsen's expression gradually calmed down.
This is indeed the case. Even if he had money, without a guide, he would have no idea where to get into the depths of the mountains.
I didn't even know that I could get here by boat.
Zhang Fan smiled at this, because the reason why Madali asked everyone to take the boat was not because this was the only way into the mountains, but because this guy took private work and found a job for those boat owners.
This time, the sponsor, Maarsen, was completely treated as a lever.
It added a section of the journey, but taking the water route also has its advantages. At least we don’t have to cross mountains and hills, which saves a lot of time.
"So you want to take a boat? Where is the boat? Send it over here quickly. Don't make our boss wait anxiously, or we might throw you into the river to feed the fish."
