Ning Min'er quietly watched Liu Shiba finish his chores, and said quietly:
"You won't let me stay in the village?"
"No, it's not safe here. You have to go back to Ning's house for a while. Didn't I leave your phone number? Can I call you every day?"
Liu Shiba looked at Ning Miner with a smile.
"Okay! I'll wait for you to come back to me!"
Ning Miner's answer was very straightforward.
"What about tonight?"
Liu Shiba said with a playful smile.
"Don't even think about it!"
The last thought Ning Miner left for Liu Shiba was the back of her head covered with black hair...
………………
Liu Shiba and Li Ergou were shivering as they walked hard on the Qinling Mountain Road.
Ning Haidong said that it was freezing cold inside the bomb warehouse. When the three of them came out, it was almost freezing.
"You ugly boy, you slept with my daughter and you still treat me like this? I'm not done with you..."
Li Ergou's anger dissipated some of the chill surrounding Liu Shiba.
Ning Haidong seemed to have done something wrong. The fighter jet was like a hen with its buttocks raised, fluttering and then disappearing...
Sure enough, this guy is so unreasonable that he actually slept with one of Li Ergou's most beautiful daughters?
Or being chased away from the shelves...
Liu Shiba sat on the big rock on the side of the mountain, took out a big Chinese drink, took a nice sip, and handed one to Li Ergou.
"Hiss... this smoke is too light, my dry smoke is better..."
Li Ergou grunted.
Aunt Cuihua remained the same, vigilantly stringing her Lingbao bow and looking around...
We had agreed in advance that we would not take anyone with us when we went out this time, but only Li Ergou and his wife!
Li Laifu, Cao Xiong, Zhao Goudan, Wang Er Bangzi, Ma Zhuzi and other iron guards all stayed in the village to build fortifications and set up dragon gate formations. Even Lao Hei was still stationed in the ancestral hall.
Ning Min'er followed her brother Ning Haidong back to Kyoto to fulfill her filial duty as a child!
………………
Unfortunately, Liu Shiba and the three of them were lost, unable to reach the village or store.
"My lord, what are we doing here in the Qinling Mountains? A place where birds don't lay eggs is poorer than Liujiatun."
Cuihua asked, smacking her yellow teeth.
"Find someone!"
Liu Shiba took the last puff of his cigarette, flicked the cigarette butt away, and replied weakly.
"How are you going to find this? There's no map or anything?"
Li Ergou frowned.
map?
Liu Shiba's eyes lit up, he took out Cao Xiong's mobile phone and clicked on the Internet...
Damn it, there’s no signal?
"Thud, tug, tug, tug..."
At the end of the distant mountain road, a sparse puff of black smoke rose.
Li Ergou bared his teeth and smiled:
"My lord, there is no perfect path! Look, a little barking donkey is coming."
Little calling donkey? Post-80s walking tractor?
The familiar sound of "chugging" is still heard from the walking tractors born in the 1980s...
People who grew up in rural areas will feel a sense of intimacy when hearing this name.
I remember there was a junk car like this in Liujiatun a long time ago.
The walking tractor driving in the distance had no license plate and the entire body was rusty, as if it had come from a painting from the last century.
In the 1980s, walking tractors were the main means of transportation in mountain villages. When entering Ziyun Town, watching a play or welcoming a bride, a group of villagers gathered in the narrow back of the tractor.
The laughter and laughter followed the bumps of the tractor and the dust sprinkled on the mountain trails...
The sound of the tractor "chugging" will only be in everyone's memory in a few years.
The three of them, Liu Shiba, boarded this simple little donkey without any surprise...
It is still not easy to go deep into the Qinling Mountains. After leaving the mountain road, the tractor walked on a more rugged mountain road.
Perhaps the heavy rain and snowstorm in the past few days have made the road conditions even worse.
Deep ravines and collapsed rocks and soil often stood across the road, forcing Liu Shiba and Li Ergou to come down from time to time to clean up.
The old man driving the Little Calling Donkey is a veteran traveler, and his driving skills are very good. On the steep, narrow and rugged mountain road, it is still as fast as a smooth road, making the Little Calling Donkey jump and jump like a horse, and it is endlessly joyful.
Liu Shiba looked sideways at the cliff beside the car, which was winding and deep, circling and disappearing. He often had the artistic conception of "the willows are dark and the flowers are clear, but there is no way out".
Seeing the old man's skillful driving, Liu Shiba didn't feel uneasy at all.
In the depths of the mountains, the old man driving a small horse is too familiar. He talks casually about all the familiar anecdotes and daily routines!
The Qinling Mountains are like the back garden of his home. You can probably reach your destination with your eyes closed.
The target of Liu Shiba and the others is Hetaogou Valley in Taibaihe Town deep in the Qinling Mountains!
The old man's face was stern, and the traces of time were engraved on his knife-like cheeks.
The small mountain village deep in the Qinling Mountains is so quiet that it is confusing. It took me three hours of wandering on the mountain road to meet more than a dozen local residents.
There is almost no modern touch here, and it is so plain that it makes people feel sad.
How long can they keep this up?
"Baby, are you here to visit us? Very few people come here to visit these ravines."
The old man who was calling the donkey lit the Great China that Liu Shiba handed over and asked.
"We are here to find someone. Does the uncle know about Taibai River and Walnut Valley?"
Liu Shiba asked softly as the carriage bumped.
"I know, my home is near Hetaogou. I will take you there directly."
The old man smiled carelessly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Then, several people fell silent...
"Baby, this old man is a little strange. Who are you looking for in Walnut Valley? That place was ruined decades ago."
The old man who was calling the donkey turned his head and showed a trace of confusion.
"No one? No way!"
Liu Shiba was stunned.
Was the trip in vain?
"My house is ahead. Go to the river mouth of my house to make hot tea, eat some game, and listen to what I have to say to you."
The old man smiled cheerfully.
Ten minutes later, the little barking donkey stopped in a very small mountain village in the mountains. There was no one in the village, and the occasional barking of dogs announced that there were still living things here.
The old man's house is located at the edge of the village. It is a small courtyard surrounded by bamboo trees, which makes it particularly unique.
There is also a couplet posted next to the old-fashioned wooden door in the courtyard: Return to the mountain home in the garden to cook medicine, practice alchemy quietly under the shadow of bamboo and the fragrance of flowers!
There is a wooden board hanging above the door with the words "such a medicinal residence" written on it.
Unexpectedly, this old man is also a village doctor, which is quite unique...
The main house is very simple. The walls are covered with pheasants, hares, spores and other common game, and the furniture is also very simple.
The tea is very fragrant, full of the smell of plant ash...
As the whole body gradually warmed up, the old man's chatterbox gradually opened up...
"Uncle, you said earlier that there was no one in Walnut Valley? What's going on?"
Liu Shiba asked curiously.
The old man glanced at Liu Shiba indifferently, then turned to look at Li Ergou and his wife who were sitting silently at the door with wary faces, and said with a slight smile:
"A few decades ago, around 1987, there was a village here where hundreds of villagers mysteriously disappeared overnight.
At that time, some mountain people saw some strange flying objects flying over, and the birds and animals in the mountains fled one after another...
According to legend, the entire village had to be moved to another place for state secrets.
Moreover, the country also issued confidential documents and blocked the information very tightly. The officials in Taibai Town did not make any response to this matter and pointed out that it was a rumor!"
