Chapter 7: Entering Qiwu Mountain
Out of the inn, Nie Mo looked at the lofty Qiwu Mountain in the distance, his heart was very hesitant, he very much wanted to leave here and go home as soon as possible, but when he thought of Mo Zi Ning he was very worried, although it was he who saved her and the other party who gave him the money. But Nie Mao's heart is very grateful to her, think can not sit idly by, and her side of the Shen Cheng and a coward, if encountered what happened then can not help much. Of course, the mountain is so big that they won't necessarily run into those bandits, and maybe the police will catch them soon. Nie Mo paced hesitantly, for a long time he walked towards a kiosk in the neighborhood and bought some food, after filling his stomach he had made the decision to go up the mountain. When he almost to the foot of Qiwu Mountain, far away from the mountain, several police parked there, there is a military truck, as if the police blocked the intersection into the mountain, he thought such a big mountain can enter the mountain should be more than just this place, but the mountain is not familiar with, even if there are other entrances to the mountain, he did not know where, he looked at the sky, in order to pass noon, if not in the mountain on the night, then decided to spare the road to go! He looked at the sky and saw that it was past noon. He turned around and walked back not too far, met an old man carrying a hoe walked by, think this local people may know other into the mountain place, so walked over, stopped the old man, not yet open mouth, the old man put the hoe down from the shoulder of the two hands clenched look at him, drinking: "to do what." Nie Mo did not expect his demeanor and let the other side misunderstood, busy: "Grandpa you do not misunderstand, I just want to ask you something." The old man looked at him and saw that the other party didn't seem to have any malicious intent before his face eased up and asked, "What is it." "Do you know that there are a few places on this Qiwu where you can enter the mountains?" Seeing the old man's hesitant expression, Nie Mao added, "My friend went into the mountains, but I heard that some bandits went into the mountains I was a bit worried and wanted to go into the mountains to look for them, but the intersection is now closed by the police." "When I came out this morning I did see someone going up the mountain, wasn't it a man and a woman." "Yes, old man." The old man put down the hoe in his hand and thought for a while before saying, "There's another place, but I'm afraid I can't go up there, it's very steep, young man if you want to go into the mountains you should go and talk to the police comrades to see if they agree or not, it's very dangerous if you take the other road." Nie Mao smiled, "I know thank you, you just need to tell me, I'll figure it out myself." The old man saw that his mind was made up, he didn't say anything more, and told him that on the right side of the mountain, there was a narrow intersection, but ordinary people couldn't get through it, and the only way was to climb up the stone walls on both sides, and cross the intersection between the boulders. Nie Mo thanked the old man and walked towards him, at least for forty minutes before he saw the place where the old man had said that there was a small stream below the mountain, and the water flowed down from the narrow intersection the old man had said. Nie end a look, stayed for a few seconds which is what narrow intersection, simply just slightly wider than the rock crevice, just look at both sides are cliffs, which is also called another into the mountain intersection, he really have no words, and from his decision to go up to the mountain to the time now past almost two hours, coupled with the Mo Zi Ning they went up to the mountain very early, not to mention that he can not go in now, or go in to the chance to find them is also very small, but he Nie Mu has no cell phone and no watch. Nie Mo didn't have a cell phone or a watch, so he could only look at the sky and estimate the time, and then looked at the so-called intersection in front of him, so he decided to give it a try. He walked closer, studying how to climb up with his bare hands, just at this time suddenly came from behind him a dainty cry "What are you doing here?" Nie end turned around to see is a policewoman, and his age is about the same, wearing a police uniform, looks valiant, perhaps because of all the way to the sake of the beautiful face white and red, very tempting. That policewoman saw the other party looked at her for a while even did not answer, some angry, and added: "I asked you what you are doing here." "Oh, I heard about Qiwu Mountain, lofty and handsome, I wanted to come and take a look, but the road was closed by you guys, I went around and came here." The policewoman obviously didn't believe his words and waved him over, saying, "Come on down, come with me." Nie Mao was a bit puzzled, could it be that this place was also sealed by the police, he didn't see any silhouettes when he came here, and there was really no need to waste police force on this place. Followed the policewoman all the way, Nie Mo knew that today is not able to enter the mountain, only hope that Mo Zi Ning can be auspicious. He was brought to the intersection where Qiwu Mountain enters the mountain, from a police car down a middle-aged man, looks like it should be the leader or something like that. The middle-aged man looked at him for a while before asking, "You're the one who inquired about the way into the mountain from an old man passing by." Nie Mao sort of understood once he heard that, so he said, "Yes, I gave that old man the reason, and I believe he should have told you guys." Middle-aged police thought for a while before saying, "What do you do take your ID card I'll take a look, and what is the relationship between you and the man and woman who entered the mountain." Nie Mo of course will not tell him the real reason, and he does not have an ID card, is thinking about how to make up when the mountain came a few gunshots, listen to the mountain to go to the distance should be a little far away. But being able to hear the gunshots meant that the person who fired the shots shouldn't be in the depths of the mountain. That middle-aged police officer said to the female police officer who brought Nie Mou, "Maybe they found it, I'll bring a few people in to go up and take a look." "Captain, I'll go with you." "No need, you stand guard here." With that, he glanced at Nie Mu. Nie Mo said, "Comrade cop, I'll go into the mountains with you, if you go and aren't familiar with the mountains it's easy to get lost. I've been up there twice, I'm more familiar." His words were of course false, he was just hoping that the other party would take him into the mountains. That pretty policewoman looked at him and said in a cold voice, "Your identity hasn't been checked yet and you still want to go into the mountain, honestly stay here." Nie Mao took a look at the policewoman, it seemed that the other party didn't like him, and thought to himself, he doesn't look like a bad guy anyhow. Just as he was about to speak, another gunshot came. The middle-aged policeman didn't hesitate, called a few policemen, and ran towards that trail into the mountain. Now under the mountain these police cars in addition to the policewoman there are four or five policemen, one of them looks very young police in the roadside smoking cigarettes, just from time to time to them here to see a few eyes. The policewoman was standing right next to Nie Mu, as if she was afraid he'd run away. Nie Mao had wanted to run into the mountains at this point, with his speed, these few cops wouldn't be able to catch up with him, but he didn't do it. Time passes by, the sun is hanging in the west, nearly dusk. But did not see a person down from the mountain, the policewoman and a few other police officers are a little impatient, her walkie-talkie and cell phone have been used but are unresponsive, people once into the depths of the mountain, these things which is of no use, and Nie Mo felt that this Qiwu Mountain is not an ordinary mountain. "Comrade police officer, if it gets dark, it's dangerous to be unfamiliar with the mountain like they are." The policewoman didn't reply to his words, and only said to the other policeman, "Xiao Wu, go to the town for a bit, find the relevant departments, and tell them to organize some locals who are familiar with the mountain to go into the mountain." The young policeman hesitated and said, "Xiao Rong, this may not necessarily work, the armed police officers who went into the mountain first in the morning were the ones who had local police personnel to bring them up to the mountain, the chief said that this is a dangerous operation, and that they are just familiar with the mountain, but they can't be allowed to enter the mountain if they aren't the relevant personnel." This female police officer called Xiao Rong was anxious and said, "Then what should we do, it's almost dark, I'm not very worried about the armed police that went up, but what about the captain and a few of them, they can't be contacted now." The rest of the police were also worried. In fact, they weren't the only ones who were worried at this point, Nie Mo had been thinking about Mo Zi Ning in his heart, they were almost at the bottom of the mountain at this time yesterday, but today, even if she didn't meet those few wanted people, he didn't know if she would go down the mountain before it got dark, there was always a bad feeling about it. Nie Mo's expression serious up, turned to the policewoman said: "Now the sky is not completely dark, I'm familiar with the mountain I will take you up the mountain, this mountain to the night, not to mention is not familiar with the people even if they are familiar with the people have to be careful, they went for so long, I'm afraid of more than a few bad lucks" He said that these are not alarmist, in the mountains is indeed so! He said this is not alarmist, in the deep mountains, it is true, and it is this kind of very unusual mountain. Although the policewoman didn't say anything coldly like she did in the beginning, she still had no intention of letting him take them up the mountain. At this point, Nie Mu did get a little anxious, but he didn't let the other party see it. Only saying, "Aren't we all the same, I'm but concerned about my friends, you're worried about your own comrades." The female cop hesitated a bit. The policeman called Xiao Wu, however, said, "Xiao Rong we can't go up the mountain, the captain has said that our mission is to guard this intersection just in case." "En I know." Although she said this on her lips, in her heart she still wanted to go up the mountain. She looked at Nie Mu, hesitated, then pulled that called Xiao Wu police to the other side and whispered, although the voice was not loud but Nie Mu heard it really well, only to hear that policewoman say, "In this case, I'll go up to the mountain with him alone, and you guys will guard here." "No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone with this person whose identity hasn't been identified yet." "I have a gun, what am I afraid of." Hearing those words, Nie Mo almost laughed out loud. He also heard the one called Xiao Wu say "Then I'll go with you, otherwise I don't feel comfortable." The policewoman looked at the remaining officers and said, "If you go with me, there won't be enough people left, I'll be fine on my own." The policeman, however, muttered, "If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain to the chief." "Don't be such a mother-in-law." After saying that, he went into the car and took some things, and walked over to Nie Mo, saying, "You and I will go up the mountain together, don't play any tricks, you go ahead and lead the way." Nie Mo really can't help but laugh and cry, it seems that the other party still doesn't trust him, but this policewoman finally decided to go up the mountain with him, If Nie Mo is really a bad guy, she can be a disaster, but this policewoman's bold behavior is very much in line with his heart, because he can enter the mountain. Nie Mo and the policewoman just walked into the path into the mountain not much time, the sky is completely dark down, surrounded by a dark. The policewoman took out two flashlights and handed one to him, and Nie Mo said, "What's your name, I'm Nie Mo." The policewoman looked at him and said, "Xia Xiaorong, but please call me Officer Xia." Nie Mao smiled a bit, not talking, and continued to walk forward. In this deep mountain this kind of small flashlight visibility light is very shallow, can only see a few meters away, good thing the moonlight tonight is good, but the two people still walk relatively slowly, dark, for originally unfamiliar with this mountain Nie Mo they are really step by step. After walking for a while longer, they entered a forest, the wind rustled the branches and leaves of the trees, it was very eerie in this night. Nie Mo felt bad to identify the direction, fortunately, even if he was in a place he was unfamiliar with he was still able to adapt quickly, he looked up at the moon hanging in the sky, and soon identified the direction leading deep into the mountain forest, after walking for more than an hour, the policewoman obviously slowed down, at this time Nie Mo suddenly stopped under a large tree, to the policewoman who was following him and said, "Wait. " Xia Xiaorong was instantly alert, lowered her voice, and asked, "What's the situation, is there a wild beast?" "No, I need to pee, you walk a little farther." "What, you, cow hooligan." She took several steps back in anger, if it wasn't in a place like this, she was afraid she would have run far away. A moment later, she heard the sound of Nie Mo urinating, although it was in the night, two red clouds rose on her face, shy and angry, in her heart, she kept cursing Nie Mo who was not far behind her, and forcefully kicked the weeds under her feet. "Ah," she only felt a pain in her foot, she seemed to have kicked something hard. "What's wrong." Nie Mu quickly ran over. "I seem to have kicked something." She frowned and touched her foot, her heart was really depressed.
