Chapter 158 Come Prepared
The scenery in the mountains is really beautiful. Everywhere you look, it is green. The breeze blows your sleeves and the air is pleasant.
Li Rongsen and An Yan were walking happily in front, while Sheng Mingjie was following them breathlessly. He said, "I told you guys to slow down a bit. Didn't we agree to take it easy? Why are you walking so fast?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's already very slow." An Yan turned back to look at him, then picked up a small bamboo pole about half a meter long from the ground, stretched one end in front of Sheng Mingjie, and said, "Here, take this."
"Let me pull him up. He really can't walk anymore." Li Rongsen took the bamboo pole from An Yan's hand and said to Sheng Mingjie, "Hold it steady. I'll pull you up."
"Oh my god, I'm so tired." Sheng Mingjie felt that he should start exercising. It was really embarrassing that he couldn't even walk such a short distance.
An Yan was running like a rabbit and she was almost at the top of the mountain.
This mountain is not too high, and there are artificially built flat stone steps. Some planning has also been done, including a small building on the top of the mountain. It is an ancient-style two-story attic that only needs a little care before it can be opened for business.
An Yan thought this place was pretty good. It was separated from where Hua Ye and An Cheng lived by a mountain, so it would be nice to become a tourist attraction.
Li Rongsen finally pulled Sheng Mingjie up the mountain. He said, "The scenery here is so beautiful."
"It's really good. This location is perfect." An Yan nodded and pointed to a suspension bridge and said, "If we walk here, we can reach the mountain in the middle. We don't have to climb up the mountain anymore."
"I wonder what's on the other side of this bridge." Li Rongsen was very interested. He had not yet fully appreciated the entire mountain and found that the two mountains were very close to each other.
So the suspension bridge is not very long.
"From here, I see a flat land, and it seems there are trees planted there." An Yan looked at the other end of the bridge, then walked closer to look at the bridge, and found that it was actually built with iron chains and covered with wooden boards that were not easily damaged.
Sheng Mingjie felt a little better. He looked around and said, "This place is really nice. What a great tourist attraction."
"Now the management of the two mountains is handed over to you. You have to pay attention and work hard to manage it well." Li Rongsen reminded him.
"Protecting the natural environment is the top priority. We shouldn't receive too many tourists each time." An Yan reminded him that she gave one of the mountains to Hua Ye and An Cheng to live in, and used the other two for planning. She specially invited Sheng Mingjie as a professional manager to help her manage it.
Sheng Mingjie said: "It's easier than I thought. I thought there would just be two bare mountains, but I didn't expect that the facilities are almost complete. This will save time. I can find people to come and repair it and see what needs to be added."
"Just do whatever you want." An Yan didn't worry about that. She just told him another thing, "You need to find a few people to form a team and dig up the precious herbs on the mountain. They will be very useful."
"I'll take care of this matter. He doesn't understand this." Li Rongsen quickly grabbed the job.
An Yan looked at him, thought about it carefully, and felt that this was the point. She said, "Okay, then help me find a team. Four or five people will do. Choose reliable people."
"I know." Li Rongsen nodded.
Sheng Mingjie had almost recovered. He stood up and walked towards the suspension bridge, saying, "Let's go to the mountain in the middle and see what's there."
Li Rongsen and An Yan also followed behind him.
This bridge is quite stable, and even if several people walk on it together, it won't move at all.
There are also several ancient attics on the flat ground over there, some one-story and some two-story, planted with wisteria trees, intertwined together to form a canopy. Many flowers are now in bloom, alternating between white and purple, and carrying a fragrance.
"It's so beautiful. Who came up with this? It looks like a paradise on earth." Sheng Mingjie couldn't help but admire.
"I really bought the right place." An Yan smiled slightly. She was quite satisfied with this place. She walked around and looked at the surrounding scenery.
"Hey, look, there is a cave here. I wonder what is hidden inside." Sheng Mingjie said as he was about to go in, but found several people coming out of the cave.
They were all dressed in black and had their faces covered.
Sheng Mingjie retreated step by step, shouting again: "An Yan, Rong Sen, there are people here!"
Li Rongsen subconsciously walked towards An Yan, and saw five people dressed in black walking out of the cave, and Sheng Mingjie had retreated among them.
"Who are you?" Li Rongsen asked. He walked forward and put An Yan and Sheng Mingjie behind him.
"Don't worry about who we are. We are here to take your lives today." One of the men in black said, waving his fist in front of him.
Li Rongsen was about to go forward, but An Yan pulled him back and reminded him, "Don't touch them, they are poisonous."
Sheng Mingjie was terrified when he heard about the poison. He quickly ran to the fence, fearing that the gang was about to come over, and asked, "What should we do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the five men rushed over together.
Li Rongsen pulled Sheng Mingjie away, while An Yan picked up stones on the ground and hit the five people.
These five people are not pushovers. Even though An Yan hit their acupoints, they did not show any abnormalities. It can be seen that they are prepared.
Sheng Mingjie was so dizzy from being pulled by Li Rongsen that he said, "I'm so dizzy, I can't turn around anymore."
Li Rongsen ignored him. He turned to An Yan and handed her the bamboo stick, saying, "Try hitting them with this."
An Yan picked up the bamboo pole and swung it at the five people. This time she didn't hit the acupuncture points, but hit other places. She hit them with great force, but they just frowned and quickly stood up again.
One of the men said, "Our clothes are specially made. Do you think you can subdue us with just two or three strikes?"
The five men stopped and laughed together with great arrogance, and their laughter echoed in the valley for a long time.
Sheng Mingjie frowned and said, "This is a mental illness."
An Yan also found it irritating. She hit them in the face with her stick. They instinctively stepped back, then rushed forward again. Five people were fighting against one woman.
Although Li Rongsen believed in An Yan's skills, he couldn't fight five people alone. He pushed Sheng Mingjie to the corner and then broke off a branch to help.
"Slap them in the face." An Yan said to Li Rongsen.
After hearing this, Li Rongsen started to slap them in the face with a branch as hard as he could.
The veils covering those people were torn, leaving many red marks on their faces, and they were bleeding.
One of the men in black said, "Don't fight any longer. Go and capture the weakest one."
Li Rongsen looked at An Yan, and the two seemed to have communicated a plan with their eyes, and then he ran towards Sheng Mingjie.
An Yan helped him block those people in black clothes, and picked up stones on the ground and threw them at their necks, causing them to stop because of the pain.
Li Rongsen saw a stone pile on the ground with a thick hemp rope wrapped around it. He tied the rope around Sheng Mingjie's waist and said to him, "Jump down."
"Stop joking, it could kill people." Sheng Mingjie refused, this was simply a joke.
"Don't hesitate, jump quickly." An Yan also said to him, with a decisive tone that would not allow you to refuse.
