Chapter 295 Go up and take a look
When he found the place in the picture, Chen Nan and Chen Bei were sleeping with their legs crossed under a tree.

Li Shu looked down at the two of them, “You seem to be very comfortable.”

Chen Nan chuckled, “I’m waiting for you.” Then he stood up, patted his butt, and said mysteriously, “Li Shu, guess what news we got?”

Li Shu kicked the man on the butt without hesitation, “Why are you keeping me in suspense? Tell me now!”

“We won’t be able to find out anything even if we ask for another three days.”

Li Shu raised his eyebrows, “What do you mean?”

Chen Nan: “Because the people here are very cautious. Don’t be fooled by their simple and honest appearance. In fact, they are very smart. I guess many of them come here to look for someone. They have become alert and can tell at a glance whether someone is really here to see a doctor or not.”

Li Shu bit his back teeth and said, “Stop talking nonsense and get to the point.”

“We are talking about this now, don’t be anxious,” Chen Nan glared at Chen Bei, “Go ahead.”

Chen Bei put his hands behind his head, enjoying the breeze with the fragrance of flowers, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth, and said slowly: “So, just now we bribed a villager with money. He thought for a long time and said that he really didn’t know who Zhong Chunqiu was, but there was a miracle doctor named Zhong who lived in the village for a while, but it was many years ago, so if you ask him where he is now, he can’t tell you.”

Li Shu: “No more?”

Chen Bei threw the dogtail grass away and continued, “I heard that the divine doctor Zhong likes to go for a walk in the mountains every now and then. One time, when he came back, he brought a puppy down the mountain from somewhere.”

Hearing this, Li Shu perked up, “Isn’t that Divine Doctor Zhong?”

That little puppy is most likely Xiao Huang.

“That’s what we thought.”

Li Shu was anxious when he heard this, “Anything else?”

“We bribed another villager, and he said he saw Doctor Zhong come back half a year ago, but he came back quietly at that time, so no one saw him. After he came, he did not stay in the village, but went to the mountains. After that, he was not seen again. I don’t know whether he lived in the mountains or left long ago.”

Li Shu: “People here don’t go up the mountain, so I don’t know if there are people in the mountain?”

“We asked the same question. Guess what? We didn’t expect that although this place looks ordinary, it is still a mysterious place. Although the people here go up the mountain to collect herbs, they are more conscientious and only stop at the foot of the mountain to take a look. Only a very few will go halfway up the mountain. No one will set foot above that.”

“What’s going on?”

“I don’t know. It’s the rule here. They say there are man-eating beasts in the mountains. Some say the roads in the mountains are difficult to walk on and there are no magical medicines. Some say it’s a tradition passed down by the older generation. It’s like a law. You can’t cross that line or something bad will happen.”

The three of them all had experience in the wild, and because of their special identities, they had traveled all over the country and had seen everything. When they heard this rumor, they were not afraid but rather excited, and they keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Li Shu was silent for a while. Although the Bai family’s project was not located here, it was not far from here. His purpose was to investigate Zhong Chunqiu’s whereabouts and to see if there were any people from some organization hiding here. Since this place was so coincidental and mysterious, and they were in the same town, he might as well investigate them together.

He said to the two of them, “Let’s go back and prepare, take some things with us, and go up the mountain early in the morning.”

The two cheered excitedly.

The next morning, before daybreak, several people quietly went up the mountain.

I brought a bunch of random things like compressed biscuits, ropes, a compass, and a simple tent.

A small path has been trampled out on the way up the mountain, but as the villager said, few people have set foot above the halfway point, and the way up is almost impossible to find.

There were steep cliffs and overgrown weeds, and the few people struggled to find a way out.

Li Shu looked up and saw that the forest was quite foggy in the morning. Not long after the three of them walked, a thick layer of mud accumulated on their shoes, making it difficult to walk.

If they were not experienced in the wild, they would have been defeated long ago. No wonder the villagers did not come up. If it were them, they would not be willing to take risks for some herbs. Their lives are more important. Besides, there have been rumors here for a long time, so who would take risks?

It is enough to see that this mountain is not only full of strange rules and legends due to the fear of others going up it, but it is also really difficult to climb.

Not long after reaching the halfway point of the mountain, the three of them were already sweating profusely from exhaustion.

Chen Nan and Chen Bei have begun to doubt themselves.

“Li Shu, do you think we are overthinking it?”

After this trip, it is clear that excessive guessing is not a good thing.

Li Shu was also a little confused, but since he was already here, it would be too dark if he just left. He could only bite the bullet and said, “Look up again!”

By the time the three of them finally reached the top of the mountain after resting along the way and climbing up, many hours had passed.

However, what was even more frustrating was that when the three of them sat on the rocks to rest, panting, they actually saw a faint path on the opposite mountain leading from the foot of the mountain to here. Although it was extremely difficult to find, with their many years of experience in the wild, they recognized it at a glance.

“Damn it!” Chen Nan cursed immediately.

If Xiaolu hadn’t been told about it earlier, those villagers would have been wasting so many years and didn’t even know such important information!
Li Shu also felt like vomiting blood.

However, he could only grit his teeth and say, “Since you’re here, hurry up and go back for a pay raise.”

After searching for a while, the three finally saw several beautiful wooden houses with an ancient feel in the mountains.

The three of them were almost doubting their own eyes.

Chen Nan: “It’s not a mirage, right?”

Chen Bei rolled his eyes, “What kind of mirage is there in the mountains! There’s only a haunted house!”

After a moment of silence, Li Shu walked towards the house.

It’s not mysterious that the road is difficult to walk on, and it’s not mysterious that there are small paths. What’s really mysterious is that there are a few beautiful houses.

What a hell.

After approaching, he carefully looked at the layout, shape and eaves pattern of the house. Because he followed Jiang Yu, he also had some knowledge of architecture. Looking at these houses, he sighed for a moment.

Really good.

It is even better than Jiangge.

Besides, where is this?

This is in the deep mountains and forests!
It’s normal to build a few thatched houses, but building this is outrageous.

It looks abnormal at first glance!
He glanced around and saw several pots of orchids growing well in front of the house. He squatted down almost in collapse, gently pinched the leaves with his fingers and took a look.

I am really impressed. This is a rare orchid species. A single pot of it was sold for $200,000 at an international auction last year. There are so many of them here!

What on earth is this place? !

He stood up and walked into the house uncontrollably.

At this moment, his heart was extremely complicated. He always felt as if he was poisoned by miasma and everything in front of him was an illusion.
