A group of people walked leisurely onto the small bridge with a relatively gentle slope. Under the bridge was a crystal clear stream. The surface of the stream was shimmering in the sun, like a silver jade belt.
To the west of the stream is a lawn about seven or eight meters wide, full of vitality and green grass. To the east of the stream is a lush forest with branches and leaves, lush and verdant.
Grasslands, streams, and woods, like three winding green and white ribbons, meander all the way south with no end in sight.
"Wow, wow, wow wow..."
The children held onto the round wooden railings of the bridge and exclaimed incessantly at the near scenery below the bridge and the distant scenery to the south.
Faced with such a beautiful scenery, Professor Chu was also very happy. He also discussed with Ling Quan and Zhou's father that the scenery of the stream alone was refreshing and beautiful, and they wondered what the scenery inside would be like, which made people full of expectations.
After getting off the small bridge, there was a line of ten tour buses on the road ahead. Ling Ran waved, and two of them drove over. One of the drivers, a swarthy man with a dark complexion and a burly build, called out to Ling Ran, "Boss Ling."
Zhou Xiang blinked and looked at Ling Ran.
"Hehe," Ling Ran laughed dryly, "Aren't we seriously short of manpower here? I've recruited quite a few retired military personnel, so Zuo Heng and the others can use them without any worries."
No wonder this man was so eager to help! It turned out he was here to deploy some new personnel. Since Zuo Heng had no objection, she kept quiet. It didn't matter who she hired, but hiring a retired soldier was more reassuring. "What about the security guard at the gate?"
"That's right. I only recruited a hundred people in the first batch. Once we entered this health park covering hundreds of square kilometers, we couldn't even see a single person. Zuo Heng said we should bring another hundred people."
"Okay, you guys decide!"
Zhou Xiang had no objection. He estimated that when this man set up the outer garden, he would recruit a large number of retired soldiers.
"Is this my sister-in-law?" the dark-skinned man asked with a smile.
"Hello! I'm Zhou Xiang." Zhou Xiang introduced himself to the man.
The man's eyes sparkled brightly, and his voice became louder, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
This sister-in-law is amazing! She is truly a heroine. Everyone who knows Ling Ran and the Xiangzi Bodyguard Company is familiar with this sister-in-law's experience.
Moreover, this time the employment problem of some veterans can be solved because of the investment of this sister-in-law. As soon as he and his comrades arrived here, they fell in love with the scenery here and said that they had come to the right place. Working in such an environment is really a pleasant experience for both body and mind.
Ling Ran then introduced the group of people behind him, young and old, to the man. "This is the tour bus leader and Wen Guang, this is Professor Chu, and this is my father-in-law..."
After the two sides exchanged polite greetings, Ling Ran urged everyone to get on the bus. Zhou Xiang, Ling Ran and the elderly took one bus, while Zhou Niao, Lu Ying, and Ge Xin took another bus with a group of children.
"Let's go, everyone hold on tight."
He Wenguang shouted and started the tour bus. After driving only a few meters, the bus made a 90-degree right turn and got onto the asphalt road on the embankment.
This asphalt road is a two-way single lane. On the right is the dense forest, which is similar to the winding shape of the stream.
The embankment is only about two meters high. On the left are rolling hills. Above and between the hills are green carpet-like grasslands or seas of flowers of various colors. Occasionally, there are pine trees or fruit trees covering half a hill.
The tour bus drivers, who also doubled as tour guides, and Wenguang introduced the scenery along the way. "In spring, you can enjoy flowers and pick wild vegetables in the mountains. In summer, you can go horseback riding and rafting. In autumn, you can admire maple leaves and ginkgo trees and pick fruit. In winter, the snow covers the hills and trees, creating a beauty unlike any other."
Zhou Xiang looked sideways at his lover beside him. No wonder this man had to enter the space to cut a lot of thick grass during the few times he returned home recently. It turned out that he was used to grind it into powder and water the fruit trees.
Ling Ran scratched his wife's palm and whispered, "I secretly watered all the trees."
A slightly warm breeze blew gently across his face. Although it was hot, it was not as shocking as the beautiful scenery. Zhou Xiang felt that the county's investment in him would yield a big return. The county offered a price of 40 million for a 25-kilometer-long plot of land covering more than 600 square kilometers. It was almost like giving it to him as a gift.
An hour later, the tour bus stopped. To the east of the embankment was a group of villas. The two-story wooden villas with pointed roofs were hidden under the tall ginkgo trees and blended perfectly with the surrounding scenery.
Everyone got out of the car unconsciously.
"Is it still possible to live here?" Dong Yunrong asked what was in her mind.
"Of course, these villas are rented out to tourists. The villa on the south side of the mountain is where you and your auntie will live." He Wenguang raised his hand and pointed to a mountain south of the villa complex.
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and it was indeed a mountain. At a height of about two hundred meters, it could really be called a mountain among this area of low hills. The slope of the mountain was steep, and the wooden hiking trail went straight to the top of the mountain like a dragon.
Then, the group split into two groups, one group said they wanted to climb the mountain, and the other group said they wanted to see the villa where their family lived.
People who want to see the villa will see a gate on the south side of the asphalt road separating the north and the south. Since it is separated, isn’t the south side more beautiful?
In the end, everyone split into two groups, and it was the same to first visit the South Villa Area and then climb the mountain.
At this moment, those who wanted to climb the mountain were led by Lu Ying and Zhou Niao, and those who wanted to see the villa were led by Ling Ran and Zhou Xiang, and they got on a tour bus.
The tour bus arrived at the wooden gate. A security guard walked out of the wooden guard room on the east side of the gate. Seeing Ling Ran, he also called him "Boss Ling". Knowing that these were Boss Ling's family members and were about to enter the South Villa Area, he and He Wenguang manually opened the wooden fence gate.
On top of the simple T-shaped wooden pillars on both sides, there was a round wooden stick horizontally, and below was such a simple round wooden stick fence gate. Zhou Xiang raised an eyebrow, "What can it block?"
"Just keep out ordinary tourists." Ling Ran pointed to the sign next to the pillar: Private residence, tourists are not allowed to enter.
After the tour bus passed this simple wooden gate that looked like an ancient mountain village, the scenery in front of us suddenly changed. There were only a few dozen meters of asphalt road in front of us, which was in the shape of a slope. At the bottom of the slope was a fan-shaped cement ground of more than 100 square meters.
To the south of the fan-shaped ground is a large green grassland, with occasional clusters of bright wild flowers on the grassland. The winding stream reflects the sunlight, like a silver snake coiled on the grassland.
Several wooden villas stand scattered on the grassland, with a stream flowing in front of each villa.
Quiet, gentle and picturesque.
"Zhou Xiang!" A shout broke the quiet air.
Everyone who was immersed in the beautiful scenery came to their senses and turned around to look in the direction of the sound along with Zhou Xiang.
On the top of the mountain behind them on the left, Zhang Ning and Li Lizhen waved in their direction, "Climb up quickly, the canyon over here is also beautiful."
Zhou Xiang raised his hand and waved to them, "I'll go in a moment."
Ling Ran looked at the group of old men and asked, "Do you want to go to the canyon first?"
"go!"
Everyone agreed that since they were already there, they should go and take a look.
Ling Ran led everyone down the steps on the left side of the embankment to the grassland. There was also a wooden hiking trail on this side of the grassland extending to the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, there is a three-meter-high wooden fence in the middle of a row of evenly spaced trees. On the plank road one meter away from the top of the mountain, a wooden door separates the tourists from entering.
