"Come here." Jinjiu looked at the children for a few seconds, then waved at them.

The children looked at each other, then pushed and shoved their way to Jinjiu.

"Hello, sister."

"Thank you for the candy I just gave you, sister."

"Sister, what do you want to talk to us about?"

There are three children here, who look about six or seven years old, two little boys and one little girl, and they all look like well behaved kids.

The clothes they wore were simple and plain, but it was obvious that they were well-maintained. Although they looked a little dark, it might be due to tanning. Their faces were round and very cute.

"Can I ask you a few questions? For each question you answer, I will give you a bead." Jin Jiu took out a few glass beads. These were ordinary beads that had not yet been engraved with any inscriptions.

For adults, these beads are beautiful but worthless and no one wants them. But for children, especially little girls, they are extremely attractive.

"Brother..." The little girl tugged at the sleeve of one of the little boys, her eyes full of expectation and love.

The boy called brother touched his sister's head, then turned to Jin Jiu and said, "As long as we know and can say it, we will say it, as long as you keep your word and give us the beads."

Jin Jiu smiled. She thought the child was quite smart.

There are many children older than him who could reveal all their family background in just a few words, but it is rare that he can still remember what he can and cannot say.

"Okay, no matter you answer or not, as long as you answer the question, you will get a bead." Jin Jiu successfully exchanged beads worth one cent for the opportunity to ask questions.

"First, tell me what your names are."

After some introductions, Jinjiu learned that one of the siblings was named Tang Yu, the other was named Tang Xi, and the other little boy was named Chen Ran.

They are neighbors. The three of them have been playing together since childhood. They are good friends and often hang out together.

Jinjiu took out three beads and gave them to the three children, and they were all stunned.

"This... does this count?" Tang Yu was a little confused. He didn't understand why the sister in front of him just asked their names and then gave them beads.

Can this also be considered a problem?

"Of course it counts. Everything I ask you next counts." Jin Jiu said, taking out a bag of candy. "Too many beads are useless to you. When you answer the questions later, you can choose whether you want a bead or a candy."

Seeing the candy, the three children couldn't help swallowing.

They ate the candy that the other sister had just given them. It was very sweet and had a fruity taste. It was the most delicious candy they had ever eaten.

"Go ahead and ask." Chen Ran couldn't resist the temptation and asked Jin Jiu to ask questions as soon as possible so that he could have the candy.

"Are you familiar with this place, Wutong Mountain?"

"Of course I am familiar with it. We grew up here! I often went up the mountain to pick fruits when I was a child!" Chen Ran nodded decisively, and then saw Jinjiu stretching out his hand, which contained a candy and a glass bead.

Chen Ran hesitated for several seconds, but finally gave up the candy, picked up the glass beads, and gave them to Tang Xi.

"Thank you, Brother A'ran!" Tang Xi thanked him happily.

Jin Jiu took his hand back and continued to ask: "Then do you know if there is any interesting place on Wutong Mountain?"

The three children looked at each other and didn't answer. Seeing this, Jin Jiu continued, "You just heard that we are here for tourism, so we want to know if there are any interesting and fun places on the mountain."

The children didn't suspect anything after hearing this. They frowned and thought about it, and then Tang Yu seemed to have thought of something.

"In addition to picking fruits and herbs, there is actually a statue on Wutong Mountain. In the past, many people would go to worship that statue. I don't know whether it is effective or not."

Jinjiu reached out his hand again, and in his hand there was also a candy and a bead.

Tang Yu took the candy and gave it to Chen Ran.

Chen Ran was stunned and quickly waved his hands to refuse it, but Tang Yu forced it into his hands.

"I want to go see the statue, but the mountain is fenced off now. Do you know where I can go up the mountain?"

"This is not good..." Tang Yu hesitated, "My grandparents don't let us go up the mountain now because it's too dangerous."

Chen Ran also nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, a few days ago a child went up the mountain and was found. He was beaten up when he got home. It is said that he couldn't get out of bed for several days after the beating. He is still lying in bed today!"

Jinjiu's eyes flickered slightly.

Just for going up the mountain he would be beaten so severely. Did that kid really just go up the mountain?

In other words, if the child really just went up the mountain, there really are parents who would beat the child so severely that the child could not get out of bed for several days... Is it really because the child was beaten that he could not get out of bed?

When the two children asked if there was any other place to go up the mountain, they did not say "there is no other place to go up the mountain", but just said that the mountain was dangerous.

In addition, there are already children who have sneaked up the mountain, so this is enough to prove that there is another way.

She did not continue to ask where the way up the mountain was. She just needed to know that there was another way up the mountain.

"Do you know where that child lives?"

"Sister, do you have anything to do with him?" Tang Yu was a little wary.

Jin Jiu's expression remained unchanged: "I know some medical skills, I want to help take a look at that child. How could a normal child be unable to get out of bed for several days? If I don't go to the doctor, what if something happens?"

After all, they are just elementary school kids, and two of them haven’t even started elementary school yet. They are kind and innocent, and although they are wary, it’s not too much.

When they heard Jinjiu say that the injured child might be in trouble, their faces obviously changed and they began to become worried.

Chen Ran was the first to lose his breath. He pointed directly at a wooden house not far away and said, "That's the kid from that family. There are red peppers hanging at the door."

Tang Yu frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Jin Jiu took out several candies and three glass beads and gave them to Chen Ran. He then dusted himself off and stood up.

At about this time, Fu Hong had finished chatting with the two elderly people. Seeing Jin Jiu stand up, she was also ready to leave.

After leaving the area of ​​this family, Fu Hong spoke up: "I just got some information. Although Wutong Mountain has good conditions in all aspects, it is not suitable for use as a tourist attraction."

"Oh why."

"It's like this. They said that more than a decade ago, someone wanted to make Wutong Mountain a tourist attraction. It was said that many facilities had already been built, but one day someone suddenly came and demolished all those things. After that, no one mentioned the development of Wutong Mountain anymore."
