Chapter six hundred and eighty-eight people who will not be curious
As soon as the little zongzi heard that he was being offered five times the price, he immediately burst into laughter and agreed without any hesitation:
"Really! There is such a good thing, no problem, I will take you there tonight!
You guys from the city are different, and your spending is much more generous than others. Others come here, stay for a night or two, and pick things up. You have so much money, and you look like you are in the city.
Great things have been done here.
That Didicui Valley is right behind my house, it’s a big deal, I’ll take you to that valley tonight!”
"Well!",
Chen Zhi saw Xiao Zongzi answering so readily and nodded with a smile:
"There's something else I want to ask you about.
I heard it before I came here. You locals said that there is a mountain ghost living in the valley. What is going on?
Is there any legend in the valley? Or is there any special saying? Can you tell us about it?"
"Mountain ghost, everyone knows this!"
The little Zongzi’s expression didn’t seem to care:
"It must have been many years. Everyone knows that from ancient times to the present, there has been a mountain ghost living in the Dicui Valley.
That mountain ghost is...
That mountain ghost is..."
When the little Zongzi said this, it seemed that there was nothing he could say. Kabakaba thought for a long time,
"I have heard that there is a mountain ghost in the Dicui Valley since I was a child, but I really don't know what is going on, haha~~
Besides, there’s nothing to ask about, it’s all boring!
Mountain ghost is definitely not a good thing, so why bother with him? Hehe~~, let’s not mention it!”
"Ouch!",
This performance of Xiao Zongzi attracted Fat Wei.
"I didn't expect you, a mountain person, to be very curious. This is the first time I've heard such a statement from you.
In the past, no matter where I went, I would always ask about the local legends.
Everyone talks about the monsters and ghosts in their local legends in vivid and vivid ways, as if they are their own biological children.
Why do you act so indifferent? Or are you too scared to mention it?"
"What's so scary about this?" Xiao Zongzi still didn't care.
"I don't even know what that mountain ghost is. Why am I afraid of him?"
"Wait a moment……",,
Chen Zhi shook his head slightly at Fat Wei, and then continued to look at the little rice dumplings.
"I heard you say that there are many scenic spots around here, and many foreign artists live here. The purpose of their coming here is to find inspiration and collect styles.
But I just saw that there are bamboo forests in the green valley. The scenery is the best place in this valley. If you pick bamboo, it is definitely a good place.
Even though it is a private area, there is no one to guard it, and since ancient times, the law in the mountains does not punish everyone.
Don’t you villagers usually go there and secretly dig bamboo shoots?
Or didn’t those artists secretly go in to collect music?”
"What are you doing there?
And he sneaked in...",
Xiao Zongzi still had the same face as before, as if the question Chen Zhi asked was boring.
"I really don't know. If you still have questions, you'd better ask my mother. I just do serious business every day when I'm soliciting customers. I don't know anything about mountain ghosts!"
After the little Zongzi finished speaking, he started to shout loudly for his mother to come in.
Zongzi's mother had just plucked the dead chicken and put it into the pot. When she heard little Zongzi yelling, she hurried in. Her face turned red from the heat and she wiped her hands on her apron.
"What's the matter with you guests? The food will be ready soon! I'll give you the drinks you asked for!"
"Mom, they want to ask about the mountain ghost in Dicui Valley!",
Xiao Zongzi said with some impatience on his face,
"I remember you told me when I was a kid that you seemed to have seen that mountain ghost. Tell them about it! What does that mountain ghost look like!"
"Nonsense, nonsense, what's the matter!",
The little Zongzi Girl's face immediately hardened, then returned to normal and continued to laugh again.
"Guests, don't listen to the nonsense of outsiders.
Those are the superstitious sayings of us mountain people. In ancient times, there was a mountain ghost living inside, and no one was allowed to enter!
But actually, where are the mountain ghosts? I haven’t seen them either.
I’d better cook for you!”
"Wait a minute, auntie!",
Chen Zhi suddenly stood up. He glanced at the little Zongzi lady in front of him, then walked slowly over and looked at the woman's dark, red face.
Although this woman's body smelled of firewood and steam, Chen Zhi could clearly smell that there was an obvious fragrance on her body. This smell was very similar to the fragrance in this valley, better than anyone else.
Thicker.
"You really met him, right?",
Chen Zhi walked around the woman, then looked into her eyes and asked softly,
"That's a man in a green robe, right?
tell me!"
After hearing what Chen Zhi said, the little Zongzi's mother suddenly jumped back as if she had seen a ghost, staggering and almost falling into the corner.
Then he kept shaking his hands and said in a panic:
"I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it, I really haven't seen it!
What they say about mountain ghosts or not is all lies spread by them. I have never seen anything like that before!"
"Mom, what are you doing!",
Little Zongzi was confused and hurriedly ran to help her mother up, then helped her mother out.
When Xiao Zongzi came back, his face was obviously not good-looking, and he said to Chen Zhi unhappily:
“I don’t know what you city dwellers are thinking. If you don’t want to go to nice scenic spots, you have to go to places where birds don’t lay eggs.
Don't ask my mother, don't you just want to go to Di Cui Valley? I'll just take you there tonight!
But we agreed in advance that all the mountain ghosts and mountain monsters are spread by others, and all you can see when you go in is the scenery! I can’t find the mountain ghosts you are looking for! The money cannot be refunded..."
After the little Zongzi finished speaking, he went out a little unhappy.
Ghost Sword has been sitting nearby, watching all this without saying a word.
Fat Wei came over at this time and said somewhat reproachfully:
"Chengzi, what are you doing? Aren't you scaring others?"
Anyway, we don't expect to learn anything from them this time.
In the evening, just ask this little tour guide to take us directly to the valley. If the person you are looking for is inside, we can find it in the next few days!"
"Ha! At night?",
Chen Zhi frowned slightly and looked at the mother and son in the yard outside with a sneer:
"I guess they won't be like this at night.
As you just said, the people in this whole village seem to have too little curiosity!"
