The fourth child's home is in a place called Lei County, which is four or five hours away from Guang City. It's not that far, but the folk customs there are famous for their toughness.
It is said that unruly people come out of poor mountains and rivers. Lei County is well-known in the south for producing talents of all kinds. As for the three sects, it refers to those shady businesses, such as theft and fraud.
Fighting and the like.
It is said that the reputation of Lei County spread during the Ming Dynasty. At that time, because the princes of the Ming Dynasty traveled everywhere, these princes were wealthy during their lifetimes, and their tombs were luxurious after their deaths. At that time, Lei County was remote and poor, so there were people
They started to engage in the business of fighting. As the scale grew, almost every household in Lei County joined the business of fighting. They were in groups of three or five, connected by family blood, and traveled around the Ming Dynasty, defeating twenty-one people in a row.
Afterwards, outsiders called Lei County a robbery county.
As for later, because there were too many people fighting in Lei County, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to suppress it. Later, the fighting business in Lei County gradually declined. However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In the circle of tomb robbers,
, in addition to the two behemoths of the tomb robber family and the robber family, the Tao Dou San people in Lei County are also a force that cannot be underestimated. However, they are too scattered to lead each other, so they have not gained much fame...
When he heard that he was going to Lei County to find his fourth son, Lao Zheng couldn't help but frowned and muttered to me that I should call a few more people to go with me so as not to make things difficult for me there.
I grinned and said, "If you don't go find someone else, you'll be eaten by them."
"Shopkeeper, that's what I said, but there are all weirdos in Lei County, so it's just a quiet place in the past few years. In the Ming Dynasty, emptying the prince's tomb was just like eating. No ordinary outsider would dare to go to their place.
"
"No problem, I'm also curious about what kind of place this legendary Pirate County is."
Old Zheng raised his head, a trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and said: "Hey, they also had great success back then, but it's a pity that they didn't have a leader, they were all in disarray..."
I raised my eyebrows, and when I saw the expression on Old Zheng's face, my heart moved slightly. On the surface, this Old Zheng looked tall and rough, but on the inside he was much more careful than the average person. I thought that this person should also have a story, but as for
Why he was reduced to working as a shop assistant for me is unclear.
However, I do remember that when my antique store opened the door and put up a sign, Lao Zheng was the first one to come in. The first time I saw him, I felt an inexplicable kindness in my heart. I felt that this was a person I could trust.
, so I kept him without hesitation.
On the way to Lei County by car, I couldn't help but curiously asked: "Uncle Zheng, do you have any other family members?"
Lao Zheng smiled and said: "I am a lonely man. I had a sweetheart when I was young, but later he thought I was worthless and left with him."
"Oh? What did Uncle Zheng do when he was young?"
"Hey, don't mention it. Shopkeeper, you should rest. I'll call you again when we get to Lei County."
Old Zheng changed the topic and went to rest with half-closed eyes. Seeing this, I didn't feel like asking any more questions, so I leaned against the car window and fell asleep.
From Guangshi to Lei County, fortunately there was no traffic jam despite the beautiful sky. We arrived in Lei County more than four hours later. In the county town, we first rented a car, and then hurriedly found a local after dinner.
Be a guide.
There is nothing unusual in the urban area of Lei County, but when I really want to find a local to be my guide, when they see that the place I am going to is the rural village, they all shake their heads like rattles.
As if, he rejected me outright.
After struggling for a long time, Lao Zheng and I looked at each other in disbelief. His uncle had paid twice the price but still couldn't find anyone willing to be a guide. It was simply evil.
The address written on the photo is the most remote village in Lei County. It is impossible to go there without a guide to lead the way. As a last resort, I can only increase the price to three times the usual price. No, the price is loud.
After I got out, a hunchbacked old man knocked on my car window and said he wanted to go with me.
Lao Zheng and I looked at each other, and finally saw that we couldn't find anyone else, so we had no choice but to let the old man get in the car.
As soon as the old man got in the car, he looked us around and said, "The place you are going to is called Xiasha Village. The surrounding villages are full of uncivilized weirdos. Most people would not dare to go there with you."
The old man spoke quite confidently. I touched my nose, took out a pack of cigarettes and gave them to him. While puffing on the smoke, I slowly drove towards Xiasha Village under his guidance.
According to the old man, in addition to the county seat, there are dozens of small villages scattered around Lei County, and Xiasha Village is one of the more famous ones. As for the name, it is naturally not a good name. Xiasha Village has a large population.
But one-third of the people in it are engaged in professions related to fighting, so their village is very wary of outsiders. If ordinary people enter their village for no reason, it is probably normal for them to lose their skin...
The road leading to Xiasha Village is rugged and difficult to walk. From time to time, some young men riding motorcycles will fly past, kicking up bursts of dust. The old man told me that these young men are from nearby villages. If I hadn’t driven
As for the car, I guess the people's belongings would have been robbed before they arrived at Xiasha Village.
The more I listened to what the old man said, the more I couldn't help but smile bitterly. God knows where I came from. No wonder those people in the county frowned and refused to come when they heard that I was coming to Xiasha Village.
The journey of more than ten kilometers took us two or three hours, and on this road, we encountered five 'toll stations'. The old man told me that these 'toll stations' were from nearby villages.
, they depended on the weather and were lazy, so they paid attention to the road. A few aunts and uncles carried a few benches and blocked the road. Anyone who wanted to pass by was not allowed to pay more than a hundred bucks, and no one could walk.
.
After passing five "toll stations" in a row, I finally arrived at Xiasha Village. I stared at the smoke-filled village in front of me. At a glance, I saw that they were all dilapidated old houses, and there were some barefooted ones inside from time to time.
The children squatted on the roadside to eat with a bowl of rice in their hands. They were all smiling playfully. Although the houses behind them were dilapidated, their faces were all filled with smiles.
"Boss, we've arrived at Xiasha Village. It's time for dinner. I have a friend in this village. Let's stay and have dinner there tonight. What do you think?" the old man asked.
When we heard that there was a place to live, Lao Zheng and I naturally agreed.
Under the guidance of the old man, we drove the car into Xiasha Village. As soon as we entered, more than a dozen children surrounded our car, their eyes twinkling.
The old man quickly asked me to take out a wad of change, open the car window and throw it out. A group of children cheered and went to pick up the money, so we quickly drove away.
"Two bosses, don't say anything when you enter the village. If anyone asks, just say that you are my nephew, here to visit relatives." The old man explained again and again.
"Don't worry, we won't cause you any trouble." I said.
"It's a trivial matter to cause trouble. I'm afraid that you won't be able to leave this village. So I'll stay with my friend for one night. I'll accompany you to find someone early tomorrow."
We parked the car next to an old house and followed the old man into the house. Inside was a lame old man who was about the same age as the old man. Although he had limited mobility, his eyes were full of light.
"Hey, I haven't seen you in a few years. Let's bring some nephews over to see you." The old man took out a bottle of wine and took the lame old man to drink with him.
After three drinks, the two old guys looked at each other sympathetically. They didn't care whether we had eaten or not. They pointed directly to a cubicle next to them and told us to go to bed and talk about anything tomorrow.
I was so angry that I rolled my eyes. Damn it, it was such a bumpy ride that I didn’t even take a bite of food. It’s a wonder I fell asleep!
The lame old man was drinking and accidentally revealed that his leg was broken when he was fighting upside down. After listening for a long time, my stomach was really screaming and I couldn't care about Lao Zheng who had gone to sleep in the cubicle.
I can only go to the car to see what is available to eat.
As soon as I left the house, it was dusk in the sky. I saw an additional figure next to the car. She was a woman in her late twenties, with fair skin. The weather was a bit cold now, but she was only wearing a thin shirt in the car.
Looking at my own face in the mirror...
I deliberately coughed a few times, and the woman quickly turned around. After seeing that it was me, she looked around me and said, "Is this car yours?"
I nodded.
"Oh, I can't believe that you can drive such a good car at such a young age." The woman came closer, her waist-length hair casually scattered behind her shoulders, and her pretty face showed a bit of coquettishness.
, said: "You are not from this village, are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"I'm here to visit relatives." I pointed to the house behind me.
"Visiting relatives?" A glint flashed in the woman's eyes, and she said, "The old cripple's wife has been dead for several years, and I haven't seen anyone come to visit him. But today, people came for no reason. It's really strange.
"
Women are sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. I can't say that at all, so I can only smile and say nothing.
The woman snorted, turned and left. Her house was next door, and it was not dark yet. I glanced out of the corner of my eye and saw that this woman had an amazing figure, with a waist and fat butt, and she didn't forget to sway her round body when she walked.
Tiancheng's sexy buttocks. When I entered the room, the woman deliberately looked back at me and said, "Young handsome man, do you want to come in and sit down?"
I shook my head, thinking about what the old man had told me, it’s better to be cautious when you first enter the village.
"Humph, you stupid man who has no taste." The woman muttered and cursed, then went into the house.
After a while, I was nibbling biscuits in the car when I smelled a strong aroma of food. It didn't matter. I was already hungry, and my eyes suddenly lit up.
The house where the smell of food came from belonged to that woman. I gritted my teeth and said, uncle, I was really hungry, so I just dropped the biscuits and knocked on the door, thinking that it wouldn't be a big problem to get a bowl of rice from the woman's house.
