Kitten Lovers Foundation

On the day of going to Jiuling Mountain, five Land Rover off-road vehicles were parked neatly on the side of the road in front of the villa. The trunks of each car were filled with various camping equipment. There were 16 people from the Gu family and Monsoon on this trip. There are five drivers.

Gu Jianqiang greeted everyone and got into the car. Among these juniors, the younger ones were only twelve or thirteen years old, and the older ones were no more than 20 years old. Most of them were boys. Everyone seemed to be very comfortable with this kind of travel. Holding a plastic box containing a civet.

Everyone chooses their companions and cars, orderly.

Ji Feng naturally followed Gu Qian, and they both wore sportswear and running shoes by coincidence.

The off-road vehicle they chose had Gu Qian's cousin Gu Si sitting in the front of the car.Gu Si was not polite when she saw the two of them, and greeted them casually.

Ji Feng noticed that Gu Si took off the "collar" that was hanging around her neck yesterday, and changed into a camouflage uniform with a vest and jacket on her upper body, and cloth pants that shrunk, looking refreshing and handsome.

The three of them chatted all the way, and the car drove all the way down from the villa area for almost a whole day.

Bypass the urban area and go deep into the hinterland of the mountain, and gradually drive up the Panshan Highway.

But this road is not a big mountain circling from the bottom to the top of the mountain, but shuttles between countless rolling mountains.

After driving for a while, when I looked back, I saw huge mountains and boulders everywhere, as well as hidden plants and trees.

It was the first time in Ji Feng's life that he saw so many mountains, high and steep, with few people living in them.

Only a few brick and tile houses can be seen occasionally, as well as several layers of terraced fields reclaimed from the mountains.

The motorcycles and tractors of the villagers on the road creaked and passed by, kicking up a cloud of dust.

He opened the electronic map of the mobile phone again, and the signal was barely there, but except for a blurred point, it was no longer possible to show his current location.

On the way, we stopped in the mountains and rested for an hour. More than a dozen people hurriedly ate the boxed lunches they brought, exercised their muscles and bones, went to the toilet, and so on.

The lunch box was packed in an incubator, it was still warm, and there was a lot of food and water.

The cats were playing and playing on the sidelines. Rhubarb was not used to the plastic box, and jumped up and down on the car from time to time on the road. Now he ran away and disappeared, and he didn't know where he went.

After the rest, we continued on the road, and it was already past 5 pm when we arrived at the destination.

It is the destination, because there is no road for cars to drive in, and the end of the mountain road is full of dirt and rocky paths that only allow one person to pass.

After everyone unloaded the equipment from the car, the five cars drove back in a short time, and disappeared in an instant after entering the winding mountain road.

Ji Feng opened his mouth, this is the first time he saw this kind of camping, and left after sending people?

"Departure in half an hour, now finish the meal. Each team sorts the equipment and materials by itself, in groups of four." Gu Jianqiang said.

Ji Feng asked: "Isn't this the destination?"

Gu Qian shook his head and replied: "In the mountains, you need to climb the rest of the way by yourself."

Monsoon: "..."

Gu Si smiled and said, "This is your first time camping? The places where the roads have been built have been developed, so let's go to the mountains this time to play. By the way, Gu Qian, let's add Gu Yuanxing to our team. Enough for four."

Gu Qian shrugged indifferently, and took the monsoon to dinner.

After eating, I picked out the equipment and equipment for the two of them, and put them on their backs. Everything was ready, and the cats sat obediently in the boxes, some with their backs on their backs, and some with their hands.

Only Rhubarb stood proudly on Ji Feng's shoulders, majestic and majestic.

Everyone entered the rocky path one by one.

Ji Feng followed the large army and walked straight forward. There were either big trees or weeds on both sides, all of which were taller than people.

Looking up, except for the top of the mountain, the sky was gradually getting dark, and everyone took out their flashlights to light up. Ji Feng had walked for an unknown how long, and felt his legs were sore.

Not long after, I finally came to the hinterland of a valley, and my eyes opened up.

"Camp here and start at 7 o'clock tomorrow!" Gu Jianqiang acted as the team leader and walked at the front of the team.

Ji Feng is a good-for-nothing player with zero field survival skills, but Gu Qian's comprehensive strength is super strong, and he can do everything.

The tent is a two-person tent. Gu Qian built the tent by himself, and dug out the items needed at night.After camping, most people hurried into the tents and went to sleep.

Ji Feng is a little bit blind, he only knows how far he is going to camp, and he doesn't know how far the distance is, now he rides with everyone in the car for a whole day, and walks on the mountain road for several hours, he is tired and sleepy.

There are several big trees in the hinterland of the valley, so there is no sunlight all year round. The ground where they are stationed is mostly rocky, with few vegetation.

It was so dark that we couldn't see anything, Gu Qian and Ji Feng were lying in the tent, Ji Feng couldn't understand and wanted to ask Gu Qian.

"Is it safe here? We are all asleep, so we don't need to arrange a vigil?" Ji Feng asked.

Gu Qian was lying in his sleeping bag, breathing evenly, and seemed to be awakened by Ji Feng's words, with a nasal voice: "It's arranged, civet vigil. This place is usually fine, and it will be dangerous after entering the mountain tomorrow."

"What will we encounter?" When Gu Qian said that it would be dangerous to enter the mountain, he was calm and sure, which made Ji Feng feel a little flustered. After all, he was half a bucket of water. If you don't even have the power to protect yourself, you'll be ashamed.

Gu Qian said: "It's okay, generally small monsters and monsters, Gu Jianqiang and the others at the head can take care of them. You may not have a chance to make a move. If you encounter big monsters and big monsters, there will be me."

Monsoon: "You? How's your level?"

I couldn't tell if it was wind or laughter, but it came softly from Gu Qian's direction: "It's so-so."

Ji Feng: "Oh! Then I'm relieved!"

Ji Feng's education is inexperienced, his talent is sparse, and he can't tell who is powerful and how powerful he is.

But hearing Gu Qian say that it was so-so, he still felt a lot more at ease. It seems that among the group of people who came this time, there are experts in charge.

Gu Qian was sleeping on his back, tilted his head and glanced at Ji Feng: "Do you have any misunderstanding about my strength?"

Ji Feng: "Huh? Uh, no, you're pretty good, really."

Gu Qian frowned, unable to refute this.

The sky in the mountains was brighter than outside, and the temperature of the sun penetrated into the tent through the canvas. When Ji Feng opened his eyes, he happened to see Gu Qian's face close at hand.

Ji Feng remembered that he fell asleep with Gu Qian on his back last night, and woke up this morning and they were lying face to face.

Gu Qian had already opened his eyes, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds.

Monsoon: "?"

Gu Qian said: "Just woke up."

Packed up, had breakfast and continued on the road.

With the experience of walking on the mountain road yesterday, today's half-day journey passed quickly, and everyone arrived at the camping place again.

Everyone eradicated the weeds three times, five times and two times, and sorted out an open space.

Eight tents were set up in order, the stove was taken out and lit, and lunch was started in groups.

There were four of them in the group, Gu Yuanxing was the only one who could cook.

Gu Si was sitting on the side petting the cat like a big lady, Gu Qian was still building a tent and packing his bags, Ji Feng was helping Gu Qian with work, this was just where they lived, they needed to find some portable items to carry with them, In order to enter the forest later.

"We will live here for the next five days, and we will bring enough equipment to explore the mountains every day, and we will return after dark," Gu Qian said.

"Do you do it alone or with everyone?" Ji Feng asked.

Gu Qian stopped what he was doing, and looked up at him: "Do you want to be alone or together? Either way."

After thinking for a long time, Ji Feng decided to pay attention. The four people in the group should do activities together, and the number of people can take care of each other.If you follow the big team, you can't rest as you want, or leave as you want.

"Do you think there is a choice?" Gu Si interrupted suddenly, hugging her white cat and moving closer to Ji Feng.After finishing speaking, he winked at Ji Feng, which means you look at other people.

Ji Feng followed Gu Si's eyes, and went to the edge of several tents next to him. Other people looked at them from time to time while working. Wherever they go, they probably follow."

Ji Feng thought about my level, isn't it obvious to all, your big family has been trained since childhood, so I can match it?So he wondered, "What's so good about me?"

"It's okay, you're pretty." Gu Si stared at Ji Feng's face for a while, then nodded and said, "If there's anything good about you, your skin is nice, your eyes are quite big, and your appearance is a bit cute. Your figure, The ratio is not bad, isn't it, Gu Qian?"

Gu Qian: "Yes."

"..." Ji Feng felt that he was molested by Gu Si, but he didn't expect Gu Qian to cooperate with her!

So she turned her head and decided not to talk to Gu Si anymore.

It can be seen from the cooking that Gu Yuanxing is a very careful man. Not only did he make four servings of food, but he even served the Chinese food for the four civet cats in separate bowls.

Rhubarb enjoyed the biggest part of it all, and acted like it was a matter of course. Seeing Ji Feng was furious, and wanted to catch him to teach him some courtesy, but the cat disappeared in a blink of an eye.

If you are a cat, you will have to treat it someday!

Just as Gu Si predicted, their group started to move, followed by several groups.

There is no road in the middle of the valley, so we can only find our way while walking. The team is led by Gu Qian, Gu Yuanxing is on the side to clear the road, and Gu Si is at the bottom.

The road on the mountain went up and down, and Gu Qian led everyone to push down the mountain. After walking for less than two hours, they found the source of a small stream, which came out from the cracks in the rocks and flowed gracefully.

They washed their faces and hands by the stream.The stream is cold but not icy. Although it is winter, the temperature in the mountains is close to 20 degrees. Several people only wear long-sleeved single clothes.The stones on both sides of the stream are abrupt, surrounding the water and going down.

Everyone stopped and walked, looking down at the flowers, plants and trees from time to time, and looking for something in detail around the stones by the stream.

Ji Feng wondered, "What are you looking for?"

"Mountain spirit." Gu Si was the only one in the group wearing gloves, and she looked very particular. If she matched it with a white coat and a white mask, she would be a full-fledged researcher.

Gu Qian just took everyone to stop and walk, but he himself did not squat down to search like others: "The animals and plants in the mountains, even the rocks and water, etc., have been left unattended for a long time, and gradually they can develop essence."

Ji Feng automatically figured out that these animals and plants can move and talk on their own, and they can also transform into human forms. If he accidentally saved a spirit, will he repay his kindness in the future?

The new biography of the White Snake is such a story.

Unexpectedly, the top of the head was patted lightly by Gu Qian: "What are you thinking? It's not about cultivating to become refined, and it's even more impossible to repay favors like Bai Suzhen's rabbit refined into a human form. It's just the essence."

Ji Feng didn't write that Gu Qian was much shorter, but Gu Qian seemed to be able to pat his head quite easily.

"Did you find it? Show me what it looks like?" Ji Feng asked.

Both Gu Si and Gu Yuanxing shook their heads, there is nothing to gain so far.

There was no harvest all afternoon, and a dozen people returned without success.

The next day Gu Qian changed the route, this time still walking along the water.

"Essential animals and plants generally like to live on water. Every mountain range has water, but it cannot be found on some surfaces, which belong to underground rivers." Gu Qian led the way and popularized knowledge to Ji Feng.

Still failed the next day.

The expressions on everyone's faces gradually became serious, until the third day was the same result, and Ji Feng found out that everyone was abnormal.

Gu Jianqiang was the first to question. He came aggressively and said to Gu Qian, "Did you do it on purpose? Take us all to a place where there is no essence."

"Did someone force you to follow us with a knife?" Gu Si was as aggressive as Gu Jianqiang, and she replied before Gu Qian could speak: "You can go find it yourself, you dare to be arrogant when you are a follower, it's a long time to see you!"

"Okay, okay, okay." Gu Jianqiang nodded again and again: "It's just a cat with nine lives, what's the point of hiding it! This cat is blind and only wants you to be its master."

Ji Feng felt that he was shot while lying down, so what does it matter if he can't find the spirit?What about rhubarb?

"We'll act separately tomorrow, try it and you'll know." Gu Qian was in a stable mood and spoke in a leisurely manner.

Not everyone wants Gu Jianqiang to find fault as soon as he comes back. The leader of another older group, a tall, thin young man wearing glasses, came over politely to communicate with their group: "Gu Qian, I think this is a bit of a problem. eccentric."

"You say." Gu Qian said.

The remaining three people watched them talking, and Ji Feng went in without knowing it, but Gu Si and Gu Yuanxing were not fools, they knew that Gu Qian would not do boring things, so the fact that they couldn't find the ghost for three consecutive days was not due to their artificial factors Inside, there was something weird about it.

"The ghosts disappeared. Basically, there are only a few reasons. One, they were all captured." The young man with glasses analyzed.

"But there are no traces of other people's camping or haunting here. We have passed through such a large area in the past three days, and it is impossible to cover up all these traces. Unless it is..." Gu Si followed the speculative analysis of the young man with glasses road.

"Unless it was a long time ago, at least 3 months ago, a group of people came and took away the spirits." The glasses youth continued.

Everyone nodded.However, within three months, even if the ghosts hadn't formed yet, there were still some prototypes that could not be collected for the time being. They didn't even see the prototypes this time.

"Another possibility is that for some reason, all the spirits and monsters disappeared," Gu Qian said.

"What's the reason?" Apart from Ji Feng, the other three asked in unison.

Gu Qian waved his hand: "I don't know."

Gu Si: "..."

Gu Yuanxing: "..."

Young man with glasses: "..."

"Tomorrow, we will go separately and try with a compass." Gu Qian suggested.

The compass is an improved magnetic field and energy detector. The energy of spirits is much greater than that of the human body and mountain vegetation. You can use the compass to test for a directional thing, but it is not necessarily accurate.After all, in addition to spirits and monsters, there are also certain ores with high energy.

On the fourth day, no one followed their group. I don't know if it was the result of Gu Jianqiang's fanning the flames, or the result of the glasses youth's communication with other groups yesterday.

Gu Qian chose another area to explore that he hadn't been through. Gu Si observed all the way with a compass in his hand. For a whole day, he still didn't get anything.

But after returning to camp this time, something happened.

After dark, two groups did not return to camp.

They had a total of four groups of 16 people on this trip. In addition to Gu Qian, there was also the glasses youth group who had talked last night.

The eight people looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't sleep all the time, they built a bonfire at the campsite, and waited for their companions to return.

Calls to their cell phones didn't answer.

"Is it serious to not return at night?" Ji Feng asked Gu Si softly because he didn't know why.

"No, sometimes it's possible to go too far and not come back in time. There are not many wild animals in Jiugang Mountain, so it's okay to be vigilant." Gu Si said.

"Then why are you nervous?" Ji Feng was puzzled, since it wasn't dangerous, why were they all frowning.

Gu Qian and the young man with glasses were discussing something.

Gu Yuanxing came over and participated in the conversation between Ji Feng and Gu Si: "You don't understand, if you don't come back, just give us a call and let us know. If the eight people can't get through, it might be a signal problem, but now they can get through. If you don’t pick it up, it’s not right.”

Gu Qian and the young man with glasses seemed to have discussed it properly, and came back to inform them: "Pack up your things, let's go find them."

"Not waiting for dawn?" Gu Si hesitated.

"Wait, this is too weird. What if something happens if you go late." Gu Qian picked out the tool at hand, and said: "We will keep two camps, and the rest will follow me. Whoever wants to stay?" come down?"

The three of them looked at each other without saying a word, so a man and a woman stayed on the side of the young man with glasses, and the remaining six were led by the young man with glasses. They used a flashlight to look around in the direction of departure this morning and found an opening.

"The family has been notified about this matter, but the fastest time to come over there is at noon tomorrow. Our purpose now is to find a way, and be careful. If you encounter any problems, the most important thing is to protect yourself." The young man with eyes stretched out his hand to help He adjusted his glasses, turned to Ji Feng and said, "Can I ask your Nine Lives Cat? What guesses does it have about this?"

Ji Feng patted the side of the backpack: "Dahuang, are you asleep? Get up and ask you something."

For a long time, there was no sound in the backpack.
