Chapter 59 Lost
After taking a nap, I continued to walk up the mountain and passed through a forest. Suddenly, my eyes lit up and a green pool of water appeared in front of me.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Yu Meixia couldn't help but exclaimed when she stood by the pool.
The pool water under the sun is shimmering and round, like a sapphire embedded in the mountains. The water surrounds the mountains, the mountains reflect the water, the water and the sky are the same, beautiful and beautiful. The whole picture is like a graceful girl, wearing green gauze and a blue dress that looks like silk, looking around and feeling lovely and charming!
"Look, look, there is still a stone in the pond, does it look like a monkey?" Yu Meixia pointed to a stone emerging from the water in the distance and said in surprise.
Li Rui was already shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him. Looking in the direction Yu Meixia pointed, a strange stone stretched out from the bottom of the pond, like a cute monkey. It lies quietly, filling the entire pool with spiritual energy.
"It's really a fairyland on earth! I didn't expect that the scenery of Qingyun Mountain is so beautiful. If it was developed into a tourist area, it would definitely attract many tourists."
"Then someone needs to invest. Think about the way we came yesterday. Without a billion or eight billion investment, there is no way to develop it here at all." Li Rui said.
"What a pity." Yu Meixia thought about it and said regretfully.
The two walked in along the path by the pond, and suddenly Yu Meixia stopped walking: "Listen, what's the sound?"
Li Rui held his breath and listened with his ears. A "boom" sound came from a distance, as if water flowed down from the sky. "It was probably the sound of a waterfall?"
"There are still waterfalls here?" Yu Meixia was surprised and hurriedly said, "Let's go over and take a look!"
Listening to the sound of a certain distance from here, Li Rui looked at the time and said, "I don't know how long it will take to go, so I don't have time to go back for lunch."
"Oh! It's rare to come once. The beautiful scenery is here. You are still thinking about lunch. Let's go to the waterfall and check it out and go back. Anyway, it won't delay my return today." Yu Meixia looked unwilling and pouted and said coquettishly.
Li Rui couldn't resist her, so he had to nod and said, "That's OK."
Walking along the path towards the sound of water, the sound of water gradually became clear, but the road became smaller and smaller, and the terrain gradually began to steep. Li Rui began to worry a little because it had deviated from the path up the mountain that Zhu Baoyuan had pointed out before, but the waterfall was always only heard and could not see its appearance.
"It's been more than half an hour and I haven't found it yet. I think we'd better go back and come back next time I have the chance." Li Rui advised.
"It's not far away, it should be right in front." Yu Meixia didn't give up and insisted on moving forward.
After passing several forks of roads, a dense forest blocked the way, and there was no way, and the sound of water seemed to be right in front of me.
"What should I do?" Yu Meixia said with a bitter face.
Li Rui looked up and saw that they were in the mountains and ridges at this time. The main peak that could have been seen had long been buried in this dense forest. Moreover, because they were looking for a waterfall, they had long deviated from the path beside the pond.
"We are probably lost." Li Rui said with a wry smile.
"How is it possible? If it really doesn't work, let's just follow the way we came back." Yu Meixia said in surprise. Because there was no road, she had to give up the idea of finding a waterfall.
"Do you know how many forks we passed when we came here just now? Look at the trees everywhere here, and every fork is almost the same. Do you know which way is the way back?" Li Rui sighed.
"Then why didn't you say it when you came here just now!" Yu Meixia said angrily.
"I said, Miss, you just kept looking for a waterfall. Besides, the waterfall should be right next to the waterfall. I think you will not be afraid of getting lost as long as you find the waterfall. Who knows that the waterfall is not found, but the road is gone." Li Rui said with a sad face.
"Call the phone and ask for directions. Director Zhu is a local. He must know the road. If it really doesn't work, let them go up the mountain to find us." Yu Meixia's eyes suddenly lit up, and she opened her bag and looked for her cell phone to make a call.
"Stop looking for it, I've seen it a long time ago, there is no signal here at all." Li Rui said with a discouraged look on his face.
Sure enough, when Yu Meixia opened her phone, the screen was blank and there was no signal at all.
"What should I do?" Yu Meixia was also anxious at this time. Looking at the dark forest around her, a sense of fear suddenly surged in her heart, and she couldn't help but grab Li Rui's arm.
"What else can I do? Follow the way I came back, I hope God will not go the wrong way." Li Rui said weakly.
On the way back, Yu Meixia and the other person were excited and walked lightly. On the contrary, they always held Li Rui's arm firmly and refused to let go. They were shocked when they were a little disturbed.
The two of them groped in the forest for nearly an hour. At first, they could see the solar energy roughly distinguishing the direction. Later, as the forest became denser, the sun disappeared completely and could only walk by feeling, but they could not even find the shadow of the pool.
"It's over, we will definitely get lost." Wiping the sweat on our foreheads, she sat down on a stone on the side of the road.
"Let's see if there is a mobile phone signal now." Yu Meixia was busy looking for a mobile phone again. Li Rui had no hope at all. Nowadays, mobile phones have just begun to become popular, and the signal coverage is very small. When she arrived at Shagou yesterday, the signal was extremely unstable, let alone in this mountain.
Sure enough, Yu Meixia opened her phone and looked at her face, and her face was full of disappointment. There was time on her phone, and it was almost twelve o'clock now.
"They must be waiting for us to go back for lunch now, but we are trapped in this mountain. I don't know when we will find our way back." Yu Meixia squatted down and murmured.
Looking at Yu Meixia's helpless look, Li Rui could only comfort her: "Don't be afraid, you see, at least there is still a road now. If there is a road, there will be someone to walk. Maybe we will meet the mountain people in this area later. Even if we can't meet people, as long as we can walk out of this forest, we can see the sun and distinguish the direction, I don't believe that we can't find the way back."
Yu Meixia looked at Li Rui and nodded vigorously. At this time, Li Rui was the hope in her heart and the guardian god around her. The hooligans and perverts before had long disappeared.
But the reality is far from as optimistic as Li Rui said. Not only did he not see a figure on the road, but the path under his feet became more and more desolate, showing a rare scene everywhere.
"Li Rui, there will be no wolf here... there are?" Yu Meixia was very scared and asked by grabbing Li Rui's arm.
At this time, Li Rui could only comfort himself: "It shouldn't be. If there is, we should have heard their screams. We didn't even encounter any animals along the way, and we didn't even scream. Let's walk forward, maybe we can walk out of this forest immediately."
As they were talking, a sudden shout came from a stern shout: "Don't move!" Then five or six figures rushed out of the tree and quickly surrounded them. They were wearing camouflage, with disguises on their heads, colorful oil paints on their faces, and guns in their hands, as if they were like a group of ghosts suddenly emerging from the jungle, aiming at them with black muzzles.
"Ah!" Yu Meixia screamed in surprise and threw herself into Li Rui's arms.
Li Rui almost lay down at that time, but when he saw the hat badges on the heads of the people around him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Comrade, don't get me wrong, we came to Qingyun Mountain to visit."
The leading tall soldier looked at them vigilantly and said with a blank expression: "I'm sorry, there is a military restricted area ahead, please return immediately."
"It's okay, it's okay! They are all soldiers of the army." Li Rui comforted softly, while pulling out Yu Meixia in his arms, and then quickly said to the tall soldier: "Comrade, we two got lost in the mountains and couldn't find the way back, so we broke in by chance."
As he said that, Li Rui quickly found his work permit from his bag and handed it over: "Comrade, do you think I am a party member or a local cadre."
The work permit not only indicated Li Rui's position, but also the photos and steel seals. The tall soldier carefully compared the photos and people, signaled the other soldiers to put down their guns, stood attentively and saluted Li Rui, "Sir, I'm sorry! We are carrying out the mission, you can't enter this area."
Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "Comrade, we are lost and we really can't find the way back. Can you help us point us a way? As long as we can find the road up the mountain, it will be done."
The tall soldier was also embarrassed and thought for a while and said, "Let me do this, I'll report the situation to my superiors."
"Okay, okay!" Li Rui nodded repeatedly. At this time, he had completely relieved. The People's Army was for the people, and when he met the troops, he was not afraid of being trapped in the mountains and unable to get out.
The tall soldier walked aside and whispered a few words through the headset. Not long after, two people came out of the depths of the woods. The leader was an officer wearing a lieutenant's seal, but he was actually a woman.
When the female lieutenant saw Li Rui, she was stunned. When she was listening to the report of the tall soldier, she took Li Rui's work permit and looked at it, and walked forward and said, "So you are Li Rui."
"Do you know me?" Li Rui was stunned and carefully identified the person. Although the female lieutenant in front of him was painted with oil on her face, there was a vague feeling between her eyebrows, and she couldn't remember it for a moment.
