Chapter 2103

Everyone is currently staying in the damaged building, accompanied by a bonfire, which is barely keeping out the cold.

But recalling the scene of going down the mountain just now, the rapid drop in temperature in the mountain still caught everyone by surprise.

But now when they thought that there was actually a man and a woman in the mountain, everyone suddenly felt that the situation was not good.

"What should I do?" Officer Wang crossed his arms and said worriedly:

"We have experienced the cooling in the mountains just now. We feel that the climate on Fairy Peak is erratic."

"If there are still people staying in the mountain at this time, it's okay to be able to get out of the mountain, but when we went down the mountain just now, you couldn't tell the way down the mountain because of the snow-covered steps."

"Moreover, this damned step is still shuttling through the jungle, and the direction is slightly deviated. It may be a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the way down the mountain."

"Then what should we do now? There is no signal on the mobile phone, and we cannot contact them." Yuan Shasha was also praying silently for the two at the moment.

He Junchao hesitated for a few seconds before expressing his opinion, "Say, will these two people go to another steep slope while we are having lunch?"

"If this is the case, when they return, they will definitely find the top of Fairy Peak. There is a bonfire made by Huba and Zhao Lei on that peak. Maybe they can stay there all night?"

"But this is your guess after all. Besides, look at the heavy snow falling from the sky. Do you think Huba's bonfire can continue to burn?"

"If that's the case, then they have to keep looking for firewood all night, but do you think it's realistic?" Lu Weiwei also explained the specific situation to everyone.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at the bonfire at a loss, in a daze.

They seemed to be silently praying for these two lost tourists in their hearts.

Gu Chen hesitated for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "It's okay if these two people come to Fairy Peak often, but if that's the case, they must be able to find a way down the mountain."

"After all, it's not the first time Huba has come here."

After finishing speaking, Gu Chen glanced at the old lady in front of him again, and asked, "Old man, do those two men who camped on the mountain often shop here?"

"Uh, the tall and thin one has been here a few times, and the one that is a bit strong seems to be the first time I met it." The old lady also shared her impressions with everyone.

This is roughly consistent with what Gu Chen heard from Huba before.

After all, Huba himself admitted that it wasn't the first time he came to the old lady's place to buy roasted sweet potatoes and baked potatoes.

So Gu Chen asked the old lady again: "What about the other two people? It's a man and a woman who haven't gone down the mountain yet. Have they ever come to you to buy roasted sweet potatoes? It's also the first time to go up the mountain?"

"Uh……"

The old lady hesitated for a few seconds before she thought about it and said, "The man and the woman seem to be coming to Fairy Peak for the first time, right?"

"Anyway, I haven't seen it before. When they passed by, they also came to my place to have a look. They found that I was buying roasted sweet potatoes, so they bought a few with me to eat on the way."

"Anyway, it's the first time I've seen them. Judging by their looks, it should be the first time I've come to climb Fairy Peak."

"Then what do these two people look like?" Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked again.

"Uh, the man is about 30 years old, and the woman is about 27 or 20. The two of them are dressed casually. They seem to be wearing sports and leisure clothes. It's the kind that shows off their figure."

"I saw them going up the mountain like this, and kindly reminded them that it was cold on the mountain, so they could wear more clothes or bring a few thicker coats."

"But they say that it's easy to sweat when climbing up, and it's easier to climb the mountain if you wear less clothes."

After a pause, the old lady said again: "In my opinion, why are they going to climb a mountain? It feels like it's just to show off their figure."

"Huh?" Yuan Shasha asked curiously after hearing the words: "Old lady, why do you think so?"

"Why do I think so? Because I heard the two of them chatting. The woman said that if she wears too much, she won't look good when taking pictures. She wants to go to the mountains to show off her figure, so she doesn't want to wear too much."

"However, she didn't know that the weather in our fairy peak is cloudy and cloudy. It can be seen that they are here to climb the fairy peak for the first time, and they don't have much experience, so they don't know how weird the climate in this mountain is."

"As for that tall and thin man, he is very experienced. After all, he has been here a few times. He should have a thorough understanding of the environment of this fairy peak."

"So, seeing that he brought so much equipment, I feel that he must have come prepared."

"Therefore, I'm not worried about him. I'm worried about the two men and women in casual sportswear now. I think they will freeze to death in the mountains because of the weather."

"Isn't it?" Hearing what the old lady said, Police Officer Wang couldn't help but say:

"When we went up the mountain just now, we didn't realize it, but when we went down the mountain, we really felt it."

"Good guy, my legs are almost numb from the cold. If I didn't come here to warm up, I wouldn't even feel that these legs are my own."

"Yes, my hands are also numb from the cold. I feel that the temperature has dropped too fast. I suddenly feel cold all over my body. It is obviously much lower than before. I can feel it."

Everyone is complaining about the bad weather in Fairy Fairy Peak.

But at this time, Gu Chen had a worried face, and continued to use his mobile phone to call the strange number of moving the car.

Seeing Gu Chen's melancholy expression, Lu Weiwei asked curiously, "I still can't get through, right?"

"Yeah." Gu Chen put down the phone and sighed softly, "The signal here feels really bad."

Glancing at the old lady beside him, Gu Chen asked again: "Old man, you live in this mountain, has the signal always been like this?"

"It's about the same. Usually it's not too bad. Anyway, there must be some interference on the phone or something."

"After all, we are in a dense forest area, and there are big trees everywhere, so there must be a lot of signal interference."

"And the signal tower is on the mountain, sometimes it is often blocked by mountains, because the mountains here are endless."

"And there are constant ups and downs. It is not cost-effective to set up too many signal towers. In addition, there are few people living here, and the villagers have moved to the surrounding town."

"So, the signal in the mountains is poor, and you can still make calls even if you pay attention, but in this snowy day, the signal may not be so ideal."

Seeing Gu Chen's frustrated face, the old lady said again: "However, you don't have to worry too much, the signal in this mountain is intermittent."

"Now it's snowing again, you wait a little bit, maybe there is another signal, and maybe you can make a call by then."

"I hope so." After hearing this from the old lady, Gu Chen took it as comfort in his heart.

But he turned his head and looked at the periphery of the damaged house, the heavy snow falling continuously and rapidly.

Thinking of this couple, still wearing ordinary sportswear, staying in the mountains and forests at this moment, it can be said that they are close to death.

While Gu Chen hesitated, he felt that he couldn't do nothing.

But now with everyone's strength alone, I'm afraid there is nothing they can do.

After thinking about it, Gu Chen asked the old lady: "Are there many people in the town who are familiar with mountain roads?"

"Huh?" The old lady who was roasting sweet potatoes didn't seem to react.

So Gu Chen said again: "That is, if there are people who can still know the road after the mountain is completely covered by heavy snow, are there many such people in the town?"

"There are some." The old lady hesitated for a few seconds, and then said:

"Like the forest rangers in the town, they are familiar with Fairy Peak."

"In the past, some big bosses engaged in cultural tourism projects also wanted to develop this fairy peak, so they invited some forest rangers from these towns to act as guides, and paved some simple steps for the road up the mountain of this fairy peak .”

"That is to say, these simple stone steps on our mountain are those used to develop shops?" Hearing what the old lady said, Lu Weiwei also asked curiously.

The old lady nodded silently: "That's right, it's all those companies engaged in cultural tourism, they invited people to come and pave the way."

"Then why don't you make the stone steps better? The paving is a little too rough, and some of them are now in the grass, and you can't see them clearly without carefully identifying them."

"Besides, these simple stone steps are paved too shallowly. Look at today, it's snowing heavily, and you can't see anything. It feels like this project is a bit perfunctory."

Police officer Wang also felt that the stone steps were indeed a little perfunctory.

At most, it pointed out a way up the mountain.

But once it snows, the road basically ceases to exist.

When the old lady heard it, she also smiled and said: "It costs a lot of money to lay these stone steps."

"Later, this cultural tourism company may be due to strategic adjustments, or it may be a problem with funds, or it may be that it is not worthwhile to develop the Fairy Peak, and it may not be able to recover the cost."

"So these stone steps were not finished, and they were completed hastily."

Pointing to the direction of Fairy Peak, the old lady said again: "The road you are going up the mountain now has many stone steps, and there are some caring people in the town. When going up the mountain, use the unused stones of the cultural tourism company. a way."

"No wonder." After hearing what the old lady said, He Junchao also had an epiphany:

"What do I say? Why is there a section of the road up the mountain that has stone steps and another section that doesn't? It's all dirt roads, and even a road stepped on the grass. It feels very perfunctory."

"Looking at it now, the project on the road up the mountain is only average, and the sponsor's father withdrew the investment?"

"Well, it can be understood in this way." The old lady nodded slightly, and said involuntarily:

"Anyway, I feel that this cultural tourism company also pays attention to profitability."

"It may be that the research was not done well before, and I was overly optimistic that Fairy Girl Peak has strong commercial development value."

"But halfway through the development, there may be some problems with the company, so this project may have been cut off by the top management, so it was abandoned."

"When did it happen?" Gu Chen asked.

"Probably... a few years ago?" said the old lady.

"That is to say, those forest rangers who are familiar with Fairy Girl Peak can still be familiar with the mountain forest when heavy snow covers it, right?" Gu Chen said.

"Uh... almost, but it's so cold, no one is willing to come out, especially going up the mountain to find someone, it's quite troublesome."

After a pause, the old lady also approached Gu Chen and said softly:

"Besides, these rangers have a bad temper. There have been tourists who got lost on Fairy Peak before. There is a rescue team."

"Blue Sky Rescue Team?" Lu Weiwei said.

The old lady nodded silently: "That's right, that's right, it seems that the person from the Blue Sky Rescue Team came to carry out the rescue and wanted to find some guides, but in the end, this group of people had to collect money from others to do the work."

"You said, it's only natural to find someone or something. You just need to help, and you even collect money from the rescue team. You really fell into the eyes of money."

"It's really too much." Hearing what the old lady said, Police Officer Wang also said angrily: "The people from the Blue Sky Rescue Team, did they pay?"

"Yes, it was the money given by the family of the lost tourist. He said he lost contact in the forest, so he gave the money to the rangers, and the rangers took the Blue Sky Rescue Team to the mountains to find someone."

"Did you find that person?" He Junchao asked.

The old lady nodded silently: "I found it. Those who lost their way suffered some minor injuries. They got lost in the mountains and forests, and their mobile phones had no signal."

"Fortunately, people are fine, but many people say that these forest rangers have fallen into the eyes of money, but these people also have their own fallacies."

"They said that their own efforts are also income from labor. The main reason is that these forest rangers used to be residents deep in the mountains and forests."

"I used to live in the mountains and rely on the mountains for food, but now I have moved them to settle around towns with a lot of people, and arranged for them to work as forest rangers. The income is not ideal, so these people always want to earn some extra money."

With a faint sigh, the old lady said again: "Didn't the cultural tourism company come here to develop it before? It made everyone very happy."

"But in the end, the road up the mountain was only half paved, and people withdrew their capital and left, so everyone was emotional, and many people were still obliged to pave the rest of the road."

"So, if you want to ask the forest rangers in these towns for help, you probably have to pay for it."

"It's not us who pay the money, it has to be rescued?" Lu Weiwei said.

Officer Wang waved his hand and said, "That's not necessarily the case. If the couple refuses to accept the account and refuses to pay, then we have to advance the money. I have encountered this kind of thing a few times."

After all, Police Officer Wang has been sent to the police many times, and he has encountered many ghosts and monsters in society, so he has his own views.

But He Junchao couldn't help but said: "Also, if these two people just got lost in the mountains, and then walked out of the mountains by themselves."

"At this time, you tell people that we paid for the forest rangers and went to the mountains to find you together. You have to pay the money, but if they refuse, you can't force it?"

"After all, they didn't ask you to pay someone to go up the mountain to find someone, did they?"

Faced with the question of whether to spend money to save people on the mountain, everyone suddenly started arguing.

But Gu Chen looked at the snowflakes falling outside, and immediately had an answer in his heart: "Let's go, go to the town, if you need to spend money to hire someone, I will pay for it."
