I was very touched that Xiaobai came with me. I thought that after a long and tiring journey, I only ate instant noodles and ham on the train. At this point, I, a landlord, should also join the friendship of landlords.
"Let's eat first. It's not too late to go back after eating and drinking!" I suggested.
Tie Xuan and Xiao Bai nodded.
"Okay, I'm just waiting for your words. If you have any delicious specialties here, you must take me to try them!"
Xiaobai was very interested and began to look around for restaurants.
The closer I got to home, the heavier my heart became, and a strong sense of guilt arose spontaneously.
In fact, our county doesn’t have many specialties. The restaurants in the county basically have the characteristics of the hometown. Because of the small foreign population, there are no specialties from other places. I pointed to the three-story restaurant across the road that looked a little more upscale.
Xiaolou said to Xiaobai and Tiexuan: "How about we go here?"
Xiao Bai curled his lips and said: 'Xiao Du, this is your fault. I came all the way with you, and besides, there is this old man, and you don't even bother to go upscale. How can you deal with this small restaurant?'
I said: "Don't get me wrong, have you seen the name of this hotel? Yingbin Hotel, this hotel is used exclusively by the leaders of our county to receive businessmen. Normally, you can't even go in and eat. This is not the case in our county."
Even a five-star hotel!”
Xiaobai's face was filled with joy: 'Nowadays, leaders like to show off, I guess the food inside must be very good, let's go in!'
After Xiaobai finished speaking, he walked in without thinking about himself, and Tie Xuan and I also followed.
The three of us ordered a table of dishes. Since we are landlords, we can’t be stingy. Xiaobai tasted a few bites and praised the food here for being really good and having a special taste. Tiexuan also enjoyed the food and drank a few by himself from time to time.
Take a sip of wine.
After we had had enough wine and food, the three of us took a bus and headed towards Dujia Village. The bus stopped after leaving the county seat. The three of us also got off the bus. I pointed to a mountain in front of me.
He said to Xiaobai and Tiexuan: "Over this mountain is Dujia Village! The mountain road is rugged and cars cannot go on it. I'll wait and see if there is a donkey cart passing by. Let's take a ride in."
Xiaobai looked disappointed and muttered dissatisfiedly: 'Oh my god, it's still so far away!'
Tie Xuan, on the other hand, is relatively calm. Maybe he has experienced too much, but he still has some patience: 'This place is still the same as it was back then. When I came here, I walked in. It's good to be able to take a donkey cart!'
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw an old man in his fifties with a white towel on his head driving a donkey cart from behind.
"It seems that we are quite lucky. Just now, one car came!"
I pointed at the donkey cart behind me and smiled.
I stretched out my hand to stop the man who was driving the car.
The uncle stopped the donkey cart, raised the sole of his shoe and tapped the big smoking pole in his hand, showing his big yellow teeth: 'What are you doing?'
I smiled, took out a pack of Zhonghua from my pocket, took one and handed it to the old man: "Uncle, the three of us are going to Dujia Village. We want to take your donkey cart for convenience!"
The uncle held up the big smoking pole and waved it in front of me, then waved his hand: 'I'm not used to smoking this, so get in the car!'
Xiaobai and I helped Tie Xuan climb up. Tie Xuan was old and in poor health. He couldn't even climb up the half-meter-high donkey cart.
The old man driving the donkey cart smiled and murmured: 'This body and bones are not as good as mine. You city dwellers, the soil and water are not as good as ours!'
After the old man finished speaking, he waved the donkey whip made of rags to himself and shouted loudly: 'Big Heizi, let's go!'
The atmosphere seemed a bit silent along the way. The old man just drove the donkey cart slowly and did not speak.
I asked: 'Uncle, which village are you from?'
The old man looked back at me, with a meaningful smile on his face, and then said quietly: 'People from Pineapple Village, you don't know, are you here to play in the mountains, or are you looking for someone?'
The moment the old man turned around, I suddenly saw a strange black pattern exposed under the wrinkled skin of the old man's neck. It didn't look like a tattoo. Although most of it was covered by the linen shirt on the old man's body, I could still distinguish it.
This is Zhu Jiuyin, a mythical beast with a human face and a snake body.
Although Zhu Jiuyin is a mythical beast, it is also a ferocious beast. No one would tattoo Zhu Jiuyin on their body. This is a big taboo. And although I only glanced at it, it was enough to distinguish the tattoo embedded under the skin.
The special pattern cannot be a tattoo. Tattoos can only be tattooed on the surface of the skin, but this Zhuojiuyin pattern is embedded in the skin. This is a ghost painting!
Paintings for the living are called spiritual paintings, and paintings for the dead are called spiritual paintings. The spiritual paintings are painted on the back, which means that the gods are carried on their backs. This is respect for the gods, so that the gods will bless them. The ghost paintings are painted on the chest to suppress the corpse.
Angry, this old man is not a human being!
I took a deep breath. The pineapple village the old man mentioned was actually a closed village. There was no one left in this village ten years ago!
I was still young at that time, and I heard from the old people in the village that the pineapples, the specialty of the village, have a history of hundreds of years. The people in the village have always been prosperous, and everyone in the village is rich. But later, I don’t know what happened to the pineapple trees in the village.
The trees withered, and the people in the village also caught the plague, and all died overnight. At that time, this incident caused a sensation in the country. Later, a team of experts was sent to investigate, but no reason was found. In the end, this incident
The matter was settled. Somehow a few years ago, this incident was discovered by a group of people on the Internet. A few bold travel friends organized their own expedition to Pineapple Village. However, these people never came out after going in. In the end,
The body was not found.
I saw that the wooden handle of the donkey whip in the old man's hand was made of pineapple wood.
Xiaobai seemed to notice something was wrong with me, so he stretched out his hand and pushed me: 'What's wrong with you?'
I pointed at the old man and winked at Xiaobai. Xiaobai's expression changed immediately and he mouthed to me: 'Is there a ghost?'
I nodded.
Tie Xuan seemed to have discovered something. He leaned against me and pretended to want a cigarette. He whispered to me: "Xiao Du, this donkey is not normal. Its ears are pointed outward and its limbs are fluttering. This is a yin donkey! This is
There’s something weird about the old man!”
I took a sneak peek, and sure enough, it was like this.
I lowered my voice and said, "What should I do now?"
I guess the Yin Jiuzhuo on the old man's chest is probably from Zhao Banxian's handiwork. This old ghost is so fierce that even Yin Jiuzhuo can't suppress him!
I lowered my voice and said to Xiaobai and Tiexuan: 'If we act according to the opportunity, this old ghost may want to harm us!'
Xiaobai nodded, and we pretended to be nothing, smoked and talked.
I have walked this mountain road countless times. Although I pretended not to care on the surface, I was actually paying close attention to the surrounding environment to prevent this old ghost from setting any trap for us.
Xiao Baishou also held the backpack in his hand, not knowing what was hidden inside.
