Chapter 201 Strange Things
This scene made Huo Ling a little surprised. She turned her head and discussed with Chen Wenjin in a low voice:
“At the auction yesterday, a nouveau riche appeared to buy it. I got all the items, including this ancient book.”
“But I didn’t expect it to be obtained by the man in sunglasses.”
“But what I didn’t expect the most was that the man in sunglasses actually got it. It’s so strange to put this ancient book in Mr. Chen’s hands!”
Thinking like this, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling still looked at Chen Ze with a hint of uncertainty.
None of the people invited by Mr. Chen were ordinary people! Surprised, Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin walked up to Chen Ze and said hello.
“I didn’t expect that Mr. Chen would be able to network with these experts besides meeting with us. His ability is not inferior to that of our Huo family.”
Even though Huo Ling was praising him, he still Somewhat tough-talking.
Chen Wenjin doesn't care whether Mr. Chen is stronger or the Huo family is stronger.
Just seeing Chen Ze's extremely confident face, I felt a little curious.
At this moment, Huo Ling suddenly frowned, looked sideways, and asked, "Hey, where did Mr. Zhang go?"
The Mr. Zhang in Huo Ling's mouth was referring to. It was Zhang Qiling.
She thought that Zhang Qiling and Chen Ze were almost inseparable, just like personal bodyguards.
At this time, it was almost time to set off, but there was no sign of Zhang Qiling, which was really strange.
When Wang Fat heard this, he suddenly thought of something funny and grinned:
"Miss Huo, which Mr. Zhang are you referring to?"
Which Mr. Zhang?
Huo Ling suddenly froze on the spot, doubt slowly appearing on her face.
Just when she was about to ask a question, Hui Ran felt something moving behind her. She looked back and saw Zhang Qiling walking side by side with a strange man.
Huo Ling was startled by the sudden appearance of two tall, cold men behind her.
I staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
After stabilizing his body, he looked towards the two of them and felt that they were very strange. He thought to himself:
"Mr. Zhang is a highly respected figure in our Huo family, but why is he so different? A person, but I have feelings of reverence in my heart?"
Huo Ling looked at the two of them doubtfully, and clearly saw that there was no similarity between the two of them, whether it was their mouths, noses, or eyes.
But if she closed her eyes, she always felt that the two were very similar.
If there was a difference, it would be that Zhang Qiling's aura was much stronger than that of the other person next to Li Zhi.
But no matter who is stronger or weaker, Huo Ling knows very well that these two are much stronger than herself and even the elite disciples of the Huo family!
When she was surprised, Zhang Qiling and the tattooed guy walked up to Chen Ze at the same time and said with great respect:
“It’s ready.”
"Mr. Chen, I'm ready to leave at any time."
Huo Ling was quite surprised when she saw Zhang Qiling and the people around her showing great respect to Chen Ze.
At the same time, I secretly thought:
How did Mr. Chen recruit so many good people?
This trip to Changbai Mountain is not so much about us inviting him. It is said that we have climbed onto the thigh!
Thinking like this, Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin both had respectful looks on their faces.
But all this changed after Yao Xin came out.
Yao Xin's beauty instantly attracted the attention of everyone present. It also made Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin instantly put away their respectful expressions.
Then, the two looked at Yao Xin with hostile eyes.
But at the same time, they all know that they are not as good as Yao Xin in terms of appearance or temperament.
Therefore, although the two of them were hostile to Yao Xin, they could not say a word.
At the same time, when Yao Xin appeared, all eyes were attracted to her.
And when they saw Yao Xin, who looked like a fairy, standing together with Chen Ze, everyone had only one thought in their minds:
A perfect match!
Even Huo Ling , Chen Wenjin, both subconsciously felt a sense of reverence.
"Damn it! I'm obviously very angry, why do I still think they are so well matched!"
But after a while, Chen Ze watched everyone gather together, waiting for the starting pin.
Then Chen Ze smiled slightly and said loudly:
“Let’s go.”
“Mr. Chen, have a safe trip!”
At the door of Longteng, Qin Xu'an's mother and daughter, Xiao Aning, and Axiang shouted loudly.
The eyes were always locked on Chen Ze until the team disappeared at the corner of the street.
On this trip to Changbai Mountain, both Qin Xu'an and Aning actually wanted to come along.
But Chen Ze rejected them one by one.
Not only is this journey extremely dangerous, but also because these weak girls need a long rest after the Snake Swamp Ghost Town.
Especially for the two children Aning and Axiang, they must be restrained in order to train them into talented people.
The team heading to Changbai Mountain set off in a mighty manner while saying goodbye.
Their clothes at that time were just simple linings and coats.
But the luggage they carry is extremely large and small.
At first, everyone thought that these big and small bags might all be thick clothes, tents and other items.
But in fact, when Chen Pi Ah Si and others saw the package, they found a large number of tools, ginger and other items inside.
Actually, all these items were prepared by the Huo family.
The things Chen Ze and his party prepared were just simple heavy clothes. These clothes were all carried on the backs of Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi.
It is not too heavy. For those who have served in the military, there is no problem at all.
The vast team set out in batches and took different routes.
First, it was road transport, that is, a car, which traveled a distance and took a day.
After arriving at the transfer station, I bought a green train ticket and spent two days listening to the sound of "哐——哧".
During this period, ships and cars went around in circles. After going back and forth for a long time, we finally approached Changbai Mountain.
Under the guise of a tour group, a group of people found a quite large village and stayed temporarily.
During this period, the disciples of the Huo family wanted to go up the mountain to explore while it was still dark.
So a small team was sent out and headed towards the snow-capped mountains from a road behind the village.
But they far underestimated the power of Changbai Mountain, which is especially powerful at night.
A team from the Huo family didn't even reach two kilometers before they had to retreat.
Then, the team returned to the village and prepared to make other plans the next day.
Strangely enough, although this village is quite large, young people are rarely encountered.
To be precise, there are almost no young people in their twenties or thirties.
Nearly all of the dozens of families, including the village chief’s family, only contain the elderly and children.
Chen Ze and Yao Xin stayed at the village chief's house.
Maybe it’s because there are few guests in the village, or maybe the accommodation fee given by Huo Ling is really generous.
The village chief and the villagers received the team with great enthusiasm, and they slaughtered chickens and ducks, which was very lively.
In addition, you can see the Changbai Mountain covered with snow all year round when you look up, so it really has a bit of a New Year atmosphere.
The village chief and his wife were kind and enthusiastic. They gave up their master bedroom to Chen Zeyaoxin and went to sleep on the side.
During dinner, the village chief talked about why there were so few young people in the village.
"Mr. Chen, you and your wife, that assistant, there are so many young people here, and I haven't met you for a long time."
The village chief looked at the young couple in front of him. They were both talented and handsome, and their gestures seemed to be full of elegance.
It should never appear in such a remote place.
Meeting him at this time is truly an experience and honor.
The village chief took a sip of his wine and continued:
“Actually, not long ago, there were many people in our village, and the village was much more lively than it is now.”
"Everything started because of a rescue activity a few months ago."
When talking about this incident, the village chief and his wife both had sad looks on their faces.
Even the village elder’s wife secretly wiped away her tears.
“A dozen people went up to the mountains to hunt, but the results were always bizarre. At that time, almost all the young people in the village went out to look for them.”
“But not only were the missing people not found, they went there. None of the people I looked for came back, and there were about fifty of them!”
"At that time, the whole village was frightened, thinking that the mountain god was angry, and they held worship ceremonies one after another."
Speaking of this, Chen Ze showed a trace of doubt in his eyes, because he heard from the village chief's words Here, I heard something was wrong.
When we first entered the village, the village chief said that there were about fifty or sixty households in the village.
But in the village chief's story, he first mentioned a dozen missing people, and fifty or sixty people who went up the mountain to look for them.
If we add them all together, it seems that more than fifty households are not enough.
In other words, the village chief lied deliberately?
However, Chen Ze did not show his emotions, but continued to listen silently.
The village chief was a little tired from talking. He took a mouthful of vegetables and put it into his mouth to chew, and then continued talking.
“After worshiping the mountain god for a day or two, something strange happened.”
At this time, there was a touch of fear on the faces of the village chief and his wife, and they each swallowed a sip of wine. He continued talking.
"A woman walked down the mountain! This woman was not wearing any snow-proof clothing. When the villagers found her, she almost died of cold!"
"Later, the villagers who took care of her discovered a strange thing."
“It is said that the woman who was rescued looks exactly like the wife of the villager’s neighbor!”
Speaking of this, both the village chief and his wife had a look of horror on their faces. I took two big gulps of white wine and felt relieved.
Then the village chief added:
"He looked exactly like his neighbor's wife thirty years ago!"
"Later, the neighbor observed carefully once, and fell seriously ill after returning home. Before he died, he kept shouting something. Talk!”
At this point, the village chief lost his temper again and started pouring wine and picking up vegetables.
When hearing this story, Chen Ze actually had a guess in his mind.
The story told by the old village chief is very similar to what Huo Xianchan told at that time.
And Chen Ze also saw the woman at that time, who was dressed in the same style as twenty years ago.
At this time, the words of Huo Xianchan and the village chief were heard. It seemed that there was more than one person who had come back from the dead!
Otherwise, how could one be twenty years ago and the other thirty years ago?
