Chapter 272, Xuanhu Mountain
Chapter 272, Xuanhu Mountain
Lin Yu hired a taxi and sped towards the foot of Xuanhu Mountain in Anhai City.
Outside the car window, the scenery keeps changing, gradually transitioning from the bustling city to the quiet countryside, and finally to the rolling mountains.
The taxi was driving on the winding mountain road. The driver chatted with Lin Yu from time to time, admiring the magnificent scenery of Xuanhu Mountain.
Lin Yu responded to the driver's words while paying attention to the surrounding environment.
He could feel that the air here was exceptionally fresh and full of spiritual energy.
Finally, the taxi stopped at the foot of Xuanhu Mountain. Lin Yu paid the fare, carried his backpack, and got off the car with Da Huang.
The Xuanhu Mountain in front of you stands tall and majestic, shrouded in clouds and mist, giving people a feeling of mystery and majesty.
Just as Lin Yu was about to go up the mountain, several luxury cars drove over at lightning speed and stopped abruptly at the foot of the mountain.
Then, a group of young men and women wearing designer clothes got out of the luxury car.
The woman in the lead was wearing a fashionable brand-name dress, high heels, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and delicate makeup, exuding a proud temperament.
She wore a valuable watch on her wrist and the necklace around her neck sparkled brightly in the sun.
The young men following behind her were also well-dressed, some in neat suits, and some in trendy casual wear.
There was a hint of arrogance on their faces, as if the whole world revolved around them.
The driver got out of the car, bowed slightly and said to the woman, "I'm sorry, miss, the car can't go any further. You can only walk the rest of the way."
The woman frowned, a look of dissatisfaction appeared on her face. She snorted and said, "It's really troublesome. Even cars can't drive into this shabby place."
"If my father hadn't sent me to the Tiger Hall on the mountain to ask for medicine from Master Liu, I wouldn't have come to this shabby place!"
Xu Xinyi rolled her eyes.
Li Jiandong, who was closest to Xu Xinyi, asked curiously, "Xinyi, what disease did your father have? Why did he have to go to the Tiger Hall to ask for medicine? The Tiger Hall is a semi-hidden force that is difficult for ordinary people to contact. Does your Xu family have any connection with it?"
Xu Xinyi crossed her arms, with a hint of pride on her face: "Of course!"
"My Xu family is one of the most prestigious families in Anhai City! Even the Tiger Hall has to give my Xu family some face!"
"Let me tell you the truth! My father knows an elder of the Tiger Hall!"
"My father suffers from a strange disease, and he urgently needs a medicinal herb that can only be found on Xuanhu Mountain. This medicinal herb is only available in Menghu Hall."
"You guys come with me, just treat it as a trip. My father said that the scenery on Xuanhu Mountain is very good!"
Among this group of young men and women, Xu Xinyi and Li Jiandong were clearly the leaders.
At the very edge stood an old man wearing Tai Chi clothes.
The old man remained silent, but his eyes were sharp and his breathing was steady. He was obviously an ancient warrior.
If Lin Yu guessed correctly, this old man should be here to protect their safety.
"Xinyi, just come if you want. Why do you carry such a heavy suitcase? I feel like my hands are about to break."
Li Jiandong was carrying Xu Xinyi's suitcase with a frown on his brow.
The suitcase weighed 50 kilograms, and it was difficult for a grown man like Li Jiandong to carry it.
"Are you a man? It's just a suitcase! If you can't lift it, let others do it!" Xu Xinyi said impatiently.
At this time, a man who wanted to please Xu Xinyi immediately came up.
"Mr. Li, if you can't lift me!"
Li Jiandong quickly protected the suitcase: "Go to hell! I'm the only one who can carry Xinyi's suitcase! Go up the mountain!"
Then, the group of people went up the mountain in a mighty manner.
On the side, Lin Yu remained silent and did not speak.
He just felt that this group of young men and women was a joke.
Xuanhu Mountain is not a tourist attraction and there is no cable car.
They are not ancient martial artists and cannot go up and down the mountain with ease.
It would have been fine if they didn't wear sportswear or mountaineering clothes, but they actually wore suits and leather shoes in such hot weather.
Even Xu Xinyi was wearing a pair of high heels.
The luggage even weighed fifty kilograms.
Lin Yu was sure that this group of people would not be able to climb the mountain on their own.
But Lin Yu did not meddle in other people's business. He just took Da Huang and followed the group of people silently.
Half an hour later, the condition of Xu Xinyi and others became extremely bad.
Their original glamorous image is long gone.
Xu Xinyi's delicate makeup was washed away by sweat, and her designer dress stuck to her body, making her look disheveled.
Xu Xinyi's high heels made every step she took extremely painful, and she felt stabbing pains on the soles of her feet.
Her face turned extremely ugly, and she kept complaining: "What a rotten mountain! I am so tired! I should not have come here if I had known."
Li Jiandong was not in much better condition. His suit was soaked with sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
He carried Xu Xinyi's suitcase breathlessly, his hands shaking constantly, and he felt like he couldn't hold on any longer.
"Xinyi, this is too tiring. If I had known earlier, I would have brought a few more people to help with the luggage."
Other young men and women also complained bitterly.
Some had blisters on their feet and walked with a limp; some complained that the weather was too hot and they were about to have heatstroke; others regretted why they had to suffer along with others.
They kept sighing and complaining about the trip.
"Why is this mountain so difficult to walk on? My feet hurt so much!"
"I shouldn't have come if I had known. This is not a trip, it's torture."
At this moment, Lin Yu continued to move forward steadily with Da Huang, which was in sharp contrast to the chaos of Xu Xinyi and others.
In the team, Li Jiandong saw Lin Yu at a glance.
Lin Yu's breathing was steady, without a drop of sweat on his forehead, and he was obviously in excellent physical strength!
Isn't this a natural laborer?
"Hey! Stop right there, kid!"
Li Jiandong called Lin Yu directly.
Lin Yu turned around and asked, "Are you calling me?"
"It's you! Is there anyone else here besides you? Come here!"
Li Jiandong spoke to Lin Yu in an imperative tone.
Lin Yu smiled faintly and walked over: "What's the matter?"
"It seems that you are a native of this mountain? Help me carry this suitcase up!"
Li Jiandong pointed at the suitcase and gave the order.
Lin Yu looked indifferent: "Why?"
"Why? Ha, I know what you want to say! Don't you just want money? Stop talking nonsense! We have plenty of money! Help us carry the suitcases up! I'll give you five thousand dollars!"
Li Jiandong waved his hand impatiently.
In the eyes of Li Jiandong and others, money is omnipotent and can solve all problems.
But unfortunately, Lin Yu is not short of money.
If an ordinary person encountered such an opportunity, he would definitely rush up the mountain with his suitcase.
After all, five thousand yuan is almost an ordinary person's monthly salary.
But Lin Yu ignored him and said indifferently: "I'm not interested, bring it up yourself."
After that, Lin Yu was about to go up the mountain.
