Chapter 97
Li Ke still didn't have a correct understanding of the four thousand meter high mountain. Although they were superpowers and their physical strength was dozens of times stronger than that of ordinary people, without the protection of corresponding equipment, something bad would still happen on the top of the mountain where few people go.
But Li Ke was probably just acting on a whim and didn't really want to go up and take a look...right?
"So why is it called Jinye Mountain?" Lin Zhipei thought the name was particularly cool. Jinye? Does it mean that the night comes to an end here, or does it mean that the night will always be shrouded?
"Ask Brother Lan when you see him later."
Li Ke also thinks this name is very cool, but different understandings bring different feelings. Is it auspicious or unlucky?
Half an hour passed in a flash. The destination of this bus was not Jinye Mountain. It just stopped on the side of the road. There was no proper bus station or anything.
Four people got off the car. Unlike the plains in Shengjing, the terrain here was very undulating. All they could see was the sky, mountains, and mountains.
"In fact, you can see the Jinye Mountain if you look west from Shengjing, but I didn't expect it to be so spectacular."
For Li Ke, who has been living in Shengjing and has rarely been out, such a scenery can be called a spectacle.
"Ah! Brother Lan!"
"Luckily I'm not late."
A sturdy white-haired boy suddenly jumped out from the path beside the woods, with a dry yellow leaf stuck in his hair. This path must not be easy to walk on.
“Happy Chinese New Year, everyone.”
Lan Yi smiled happily when he saw his familiar friends, and all the worries of the past few days were swept away.
He believed there was nothing they couldn't solve together.
Li Ke pulled Lin Zhipei to Lan Yi's side, and they also put their arms around each other's shoulders in a familiar manner.
"40 should have told you about this, right? He is Lin Zhipei, and this is our roommate Lan Yi. I call him Brother Lan, and you can call him Brother Lan or 11 like 40."
Lin Zhipei readily accepted the advice, "Hello, Brother Lan! Happy Chinese New Year! Just call me Peipei!"
"Can I call you Ape?"
Lan Yi learned this from his sister. Unless someone is hard to separate from her like Si Ling, he calls his close friends by "A" plus the last character.
Lin Zhipei agreed, "Of course!"
The mountain road is not easy to walk on. The woods at the foot of the mountain are very dense, and it can be seen that the road up and down the mountain has not been walked by anyone for a long time.
If it wasn't winter, when most of the leaves would have fallen, it would have been even harder to walk.
"The lives of the tribesmen are no different from being isolated from the outside world. If Shengjing hadn't required every village to have access to the internet and electricity many years ago, there might not be this road."
Lan Yi rarely mentioned his tribesmen, so they naturally wouldn't be so tactless as to ask.
But living in such a remote place, especially in the mountains, was really unexpected.
"Is there snow on the top of the mountain, Brother Lan?"
Although Sankt Petersburg is located in the northern part of the country, it does not snow every year.
"Yes, you can see it even if you don't reach the top of the mountain. But do you want to go to the top of the mountain to see it?"
Lan Yi immediately grasped the key point of Li Ke's words, and he also began to consider the possibility of implementation.
But it is not easy to reach the top of Jinye Mountain.
Looking at the data, it is only 4,000 meters, but in fact it is more rugged and harsh than the 5,000-meter mountains in some areas.
"I want to go and have a look, but if it doesn't work, forget it."
Li Ke just felt that it was a rare opportunity to come here, and it would be a shame not to go when there was a chance.
Before he left, he promised his parents that he would take some photos back.
Lan Yi thought for a moment and said, "You can try, but if there is any danger, you have to come back."
In such deep mountains and forests, there is a certain probability of encountering strange beasts. Although they are all supernatural beings, it is still better to be careful.
Li Ke agreed immediately, "Okay! I'll listen to you!"
——
On the way up the mountain, Lan Yi finally mentioned the troubles he encountered.
"The second awakening of superpowers is unprecedented in the history of our tribe. My sister came back with me to find out what's related to it and avoid some problems that may be encountered when using superpowers."
Lan Lingniao knew that the second awakening of his supernatural powers was related to the clan’s inheritance, so when Lan Yi mentioned that he wanted to go back to his hometown to take a look, he immediately agreed.
Compared to the annoying family, my brother's affairs are more important.
As long as her family members didn't go too far, she thought she could just endure it.
"When we returned, the tribe members welcomed us very much. Some of them were... too nice."
In the past, when we despised them or even drove them away, our attitudes were as bad as they could be.
Being rude at first and respectful later, Lan Yisizhi didn't want to laugh but felt uneasy.
Xi Siling thought for a moment, "Could it be that Sister Lingniao told them about your situation first, so they welcomed you like this?"
Lan Yi doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do this, so the only one who could do this is Lan Ling Bird.
"That should be the case. My sister is afraid that I will..." The boy hesitated for a moment, "hurt someone..."
In fact, the only one who was driven away when he was young was Lan Lingniao. It was because Lan Yi injured several villagers that he followed his sister down the mountain.
Seeing that none of his friends showed any strange expressions, he continued speaking.
“But this time, the villagers didn’t let my sister leave.”
Not long after he and his sister came back, the village chief said that Lan Lingniao had left temporarily for something. Lan Yi naturally didn't believe it, and only agreed to let him talk to his sister after being threatened with force.
However, the Lan Ling Bird told him to stay in the village and it would come back on New Year's Eve.
Lan Yi then waited peacefully until New Year's Eve, and his sister did come back.
However, his sister didn't tell him what she was going to do, and he always felt that the smile on her face was not sincere.
There weren't many people in the village, so naturally they celebrated New Year's Eve together, including Lan Yi and Lan Lingniao's biological parents.
In front of so many people, he chose to ask directly.
"Where did you take my sister? What did you ask her to do?"
No one expected that Lan Yi would be so disrespectful on New Year's Day. Everyone thought that Lan Yi would be considerate and take the Lan Ling Bird away after the New Year's Eve banquet.
Lan Yi is no longer the child who could do nothing in his childhood. To put it bluntly, if he had a fit on the spot, no one present could stop him.
He can fight his way out again with his sister.
The village chief and the elders looked at each other, and saw hostility and determination in his eyes, knowing that if they delayed any further, something bad would happen.
At this time, Lan Lingniao pretended not to see anything and did not think of stopping his brother.
"Sit down first, Lan Yi. Your sister just misses home and will stay in the village in the future. Don't worry, we will take good care of her."
To Lan Yi, these words were no different from a threat.
"How dare you put my sister under house arrest?!"
Lan Yi directly overturned the table. He had a good temper and his sister was his bottom line.
Everyone at the table with him was stunned, and his parents sitting next to him rushed over to stop him.
"What do you mean by house arrest? This kid has no restraint when speaking."
"Your father is right. The spirit bird felt sorry for us because we are old, so it wanted to stay and take care of us."
Lan Yi shook off the two hands without hesitation and came to Lan Lingniao's side, "Sister, tell me the truth, don't be afraid, let's leave now, okay?"
His sister's emotions were complicated, and there was a light in her eyes that he couldn't understand.
But he knew that his sister must have been wronged.
The eyes of the entire village were on them. Lan Lingniao reached out and hugged Lan Yi, saying something that only the two of them could hear.
"Leave alone, Ayi, and don't come back."
"My sister definitely didn't want to stay, but I can't get any information from her, and now I can't find her whereabouts."
It's impossible for Lan Yi to really start a killing spree, and the villagers can't get anything out of him.
So he had no choice but to seek help from outside.
Aqi might be able to help him find his sister's whereabouts. With his brothers around, he would feel more confident.
Li Ke frowned as if he felt the same way, "Hey, why are you so unreasonable?"
"Oh, I understand. So it was right for me to follow you. There is strength in numbers~" Lin Zhipei quickly figured out the 'current situation'. "Anyway, we have to find my sister and get her back!"
Lan Yi nodded gratefully, "Thank you."
No one present expressed any objection. No matter what the village wanted to do, as long as they wanted to hurt their friends and their friends' sister, they would never succeed.
"Apart from these, are there any other clues?" Xi Siling knew there was a problem early on, but she didn't expect it to be related to Sister Spirit Bird.
He thought of the future and his heart trembled again.
Throughout life, it seems that we are on the right path, but when we look back, we find that it is full of undetectable mistakes.
It seems that it is okay to say that it is bad luck, but as long as I take the right step...
No one noticed what Xi Siling was thinking, and he would not allow himself to show any abnormality at this time.
Lan Yi shook his head. "I walked around Jinye Mountain yesterday and this morning, and also checked the path down the mountain, but I didn't find anything unusual."
If it hadn't reached the point where he couldn't solve the problem well, he wouldn't have asked his friends for help.
"Leave it to me. I will find the whereabouts of Sister Spirit Bird."
"I can help, too!"
Only Liuhuaci and Lincipei can do this job well. One can find people through the floating mist, and the other can communicate with plants.
As long as the Lanling Bird did not disappear out of thin air, they will have a way to find it!
"If all else fails, I'm still here!"
Why be stingy at a time like this? It’s only been less than two days anyway.
Li Ke has never been ambiguous when it comes to his brothers.
My heart feels warm. Even if I can't repay this kindness now, Lan Yi will never forget it.
"Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? We are all brothers! Sister Lingniao is your sister, and she is also our sister!"
Li Ke was not talking nonsense. Except for Lin Zhipei who had just arrived, they all called her Sister Lingniao at the dinner after the mid-year competition.
"Indeed, the spirit bird is also our sister, as it should be."
Xi Siling quickly put aside his emotions. Isn't this exactly what he wanted to see most?
With you all here, there will be no problem.
"Then it's settled. 77 and Pepe will be in charge of finding Sister Spirit Bird. Li Ke and I will follow Lan Yi to go around the village first."
Xi Siling is best at dealing with people. Even if the entire village is made up of one family, they cannot be united.
At least we need to know the reason why they left the Lanling Bird behind.
The best case scenario is that they want to control Lan Yi, so they must keep Lan Lingniao. This is also in line with what Sister Lingniao said, asking Lan Yi to never go back.
But... there's a worst-case scenario.
Don't be anxious, Siling.
Looking at the mountain peak that towers into the clouds, Xi Siling warned himself.
Don't be impatient.
