In front of me was a dense forest and grass that was more than one meter tall and so tall that no sunlight could be seen.
Zhang Sinian stood still for a while, carefully identified the direction, then carefully parted the grass, picked up the stick, and walked inside while knocking.
Comrade Tian Kai followed behind him to avoid any unexpected incidents.
Don't be fooled by Tian Kai's usual careless appearance, as if he is not very smart.
When it came time to get down to business, he became serious, like a different person.
The two men were not walking very fast, and as there were dense woods and grass everywhere, they stumbled as they walked.
There are usually almost no people in the mountains.
Occasionally, some villagers would go up the mountain to collect firewood or dig wild vegetables, but they could only do so on the outskirts.
Adults and children basically don't dare to go into the deep mountains.
The two of them walked while pushing aside the grass.
You also have to be careful at all times to see if there are any small animals that suddenly appear inside.
Apart from the constant chirping of birds in my ears, there is the rustling of leaves and weeds under my feet.
The two of them didn't say anything, but concentrated on observing the situation around them.
Just walk and observe carefully.
After about an hour, the two of them had only walked about a few hundred meters.
Zhang Sinian took back the wooden stick in his hand and put it aside.
They randomly found a clean big rock, sat down, took off the water bottle they were carrying, and each took a few big gulps of water to moisten their throats.
He also took out the towel he had prepared in advance from the cloth bag he was carrying.
The two wiped the sweat from their faces due to the hot weather.
“It’s so hot!”
Tian Kai wiped the sweat off his face and looked up at the sky where the sun was already rising.
The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the tall trees, casting a mottled shadow on the ground inside the woods.
Occasionally a breeze blew, and the branches swayed, as if waving to the two of them.
The two were tired and thirsty, and were in no mood to watch these things.
Tian Kai saw the boss find a stone to sit on, so he quickly walked over and moved closer to him.
The two rested for a while, felt a little cooler, and prepared to stand up and continue walking inside.
Zhang Sinian put away the water bottle and towel in his hands and put them into the cloth bag on his back.
Tian Kai, who was standing by, saw the boss preparing to continue walking, so he stood up first, muttering to himself;
“Time flies so fast, we just…”
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Sinian, who stood up from behind him, covered his mouth.
Tian Kai was startled by the sudden covering of his mouth. His eyes widened and he was about to resist.
"Shh..." Zhang Sinian signaled Tian Kai not to struggle or make any sound.
Tian Kai was not stupid either. He immediately realized that something was wrong. He did not struggle but nodded to show that he understood.
Seeing that he understood what he meant, Zhang Sinian released his hand from his mouth.
He crouched quietly and walked behind the big rock.
Tian Kai quickly followed the boss and hid behind a rock.
The two had just hidden themselves when they heard the rustling sound of dead branches and leaves being trampled not far away.
If you don't listen carefully, you can't hear it at all.
Just now he was only focused on looking at the scenery and didn't pay attention to his surroundings at all. It was still the boss's perception that was more acute.
The two of them slowly squatted down, hid behind a big rock, and peeked out.
The big rock was like a small mountain, tightly covering the figures of the two people.
No one would have thought that there was someone hiding quietly in these deep mountains.
The two were afraid of being discovered, so after hiding, they didn't dare to show their heads again.
There was a concave area on the stone next to Zhang Sinian, and there were some weeds blocking the front.
You can't see the back from the front, but the two people at the back can clearly see the front. It's a perfect place to peek.
The two looked at each other, and Zhang Sinian slowly moved closer to the side, lay down on one side, and peeked out.
When Tian Kai saw that the boss had found a suitable place to peek, he followed his example and quietly approached.
As soon as the two of them lay down, they saw a man appear not far away.
He was not tall, about 1.7 meters, and was wearing black clothes.
He was holding a big machete in his hand, and looked like he was coming from the mountains to chop wood.
However, the two felt something was wrong.
The deep mountains behind this place are a forbidden area in the village, and normally people in the village don’t dare to come in.
What surprised Zhang Sinian and the others the most was that this man's face was covered with a black cloth, leaving only his eyes exposed.
If you don’t know him, you might think he is a hero who robs the poor and helps the rich!
At this moment, Zhang Sinian's mind was working rapidly. He was trying hard to find a shadow that matched that man in his memories.
But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out who the other party was.
Just as he was lost in thought, a woman came towards the man.
She was also wearing black clothes and had a black cloth covering her face.
There were still a pair of eyes exposed.
Zhang Sinian and the other man observed carefully but couldn't figure out who this woman was.
"Didn't I tell you to come earlier? Why are you so late?"
The woman came up and complained to the man in black opposite her.
You don't have to guess from the tone of voice to know that both parties are very familiar with each other and must have known each other for a long time.
"You think I don't want to come earlier? I do, but I can't come out until I've finished dealing with things at home!"
The man was not polite and retorted back.
He took advantage of the time when he went up the mountain to chop wood to sneak into the mountains. Otherwise, he would have no chance to enter the mountains.
Besides, he has to be very careful when he comes out. After so many years, he can't let his big plan be ruined because of a momentary impatience.
"Okay, I'm not here to argue with you. I've been hiding in the village for so long. Do you have any clues or discoveries?"
The woman frowned impatiently, and there was a hint of annoyance in her eyes as she looked at the man.
"Hey! I'd love to know if there are any clues, but unfortunately there are none!"
The man sighed. He had been secretly inquiring about the matter, but after such a long time, there was still no news.
"What about you guys? Did you find it?"
The man asked the woman the same question.
"Where can I find it? There's no exact location. Do you think it's easy to find it in the vast mountains?"
The woman became even more impatient.
In the past few years, they have almost lived and eaten in these mountains just to find that place.
Unfortunately, after so much time, they still haven't found it.
"Didn't you send me news that you had a map? Why haven't I seen it yet?"
A few days ago, the man told her that there was news from the organization saying that the location map had been found.
