After spending the fifth day of the Lunar New Year in Yulin, the group went to Daoxian County.
There are several reasons why I decided to go. First, I know what the boss is really thinking, and I don’t want to disappoint him. Second, there may be a tomb in that place. As for the danger... To be honest, the contents recorded in the notes are true.
I have never verified sex. Besides, there are risks in this business anytime.
After hearing that we had decided to go, Mr. Zhao from Xiangxi shook his head and said, "Then I won't go. I'm going to go back to Jishou. After I go back, I will go to the mountains to see the girl and the old man (Liao Bo Xiaomi). There is no signal in the deep mountains of Heimiao.
If anything happens, call my apprentice Abu."
"What do you have to say?"
"have!"
I quickly said: "Master Zhao, tell Xiaomi that Brother Feng will wait until she is cured and comes back, whether it is one year or two years."
"Yes, yes, don't forget that there is her Brother Dou and me," Dou Sprout said.
Xiaoxuan's face was expressionless and she didn't say anything.
.....
It was my first time to go to a place so far south, and I was a little excited.
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there was a rush to return home, and there were a lot of people at the train station. We followed my uncle Xue to pick up our luggage and board the train bound for Yongzhou, Hunan.
Apart from bringing some small items with us, we didn't bring any big things like the Luoyang cyclone shovel. Uncle Xue said that he would make arrangements when we got to the place, so we didn't have to worry.
The journey was very long. I remember taking the green train for three days and one night, or four days and one night. I was so sleepy on the sleeper berth that I finally arrived in Yongzhou, Hunan.
We arrived in Yongzhou and found a hotel to stay and rest. That night a local man came with a big bag to deliver things to us.
This local man was also a tomb robber, a friend contacted by Mr. Xue. I knew that he was buying vegetables at the Huangnijing vegetable market, and the bag he brought contained a Luoyang shovel with a sleeve.
This Yongzhou dialect sounds very interesting. I feel that I can almost understand it if it is spoken fast, but I can't understand it at all if it is spoken slowly.
For example, take the owner of the hotel where we stayed. He was smoking a cigarette and scolding his wife: "You are so stupid in Hong Kong. I will kill you. I will file a lawsuit every day. If you don't move, I will chop off your head."
What this means is: "Honey! I'm angry when you're like this! I'm annoying you to death! You have to go to bed every fucking day! You don't do any fucking work!"
The tomb robber who sells vegetables in Huangni Chang is named Li Tiecheng. He can speak Mandarin. He is in his forties. He wears a leather jacket and leather trousers. His hair is parted in the middle and his back is covered with tattoos.
We rested in the hotel for a day and a half. Li Tiecheng drove a Jeep off-road vehicle, loaded all our things into the vehicle, and took us to Daoxian County.
Dao County, formerly known as Daozhou, has a mixed population. It is considered a gathering place for ethnic minorities in southern Hunan, including the Yao, Zhuang, Yi, and Miao ethnic groups, and more than a dozen other ethnic groups.
Twenty years ago, it was not like now. The New Year has not yet come out. People wearing national costumes and carrying big bamboo baskets can be seen everywhere in Yongzhou City walking back and forth on the street. It should be rare now. Many people were born after 2000.
Many young people have not even worn these clothes.
Drive all the way southwest from Daoxian.
"Wow! Yunfeng, look at those ponds. Are such big cows buffaloes?" Xiaoxuan sighed as she lay on the window looking at the scenery along the way.
"Tch, I don't know how long my hair is."
Dou Sprout pointed to the roadside and said loudly: "The cow in the water is something other than a buffalo." (Actually, it's not a buffalo, just an ordinary cow drinking water.)
Li Tiecheng, who was driving, smiled and interjected: "I don't come here often. Daoxian County is an ancient city. Didn't you see a row of ancient city walls in the county seat just now? Those walls were from the Sui Dynasty and are still in use today."
He raised his head and asked how far it was.
Before Li Tiecheng could speak, Uncle Xue said: "It shouldn't be far away. It's at most more than twenty kilometers to Tianguangdong Village, right, Old Li."
