Seeing daybreak, Ding Ze woke up Wu Xie and Lao Chu.
soon.
The three of them put on their backpacks and prepared to set off.
"I just thought about it," Wu Xie said, "Uncle Tai and the other five should have left the village by now. If we still go to the village according to yesterday's plan, I'm afraid we will follow
The distance between them will become wider and wider."
"I suggest that we bypass the village and chase them quickly."
Lao Itch agreed, "Well, that village - that village, might be - the last supply point for all kinds of tomb robbers who come to the Qinling Mountains.
, the three of us - the three of us are strangers, if we go in, say - we might get into trouble."
"By bypassing the village, you can save some trouble."
"Brother Ding, what did you say?" After listening to Lao Chu's words, Wu Xie asked Ding Ze.
Ding Ze held a cigarette in his mouth and smiled, "I have no objection."
The decision is made.
The three of them walked out of the shack without any traces of ink, followed the road they took to the shack yesterday, and moved towards the three-way intersection.
Time passes quickly.
The three of them first returned to the fork in the road, then walked all the way to the right for about half an hour. After crossing a mountain stream, they saw several tile-roofed houses standing in the distance almost at the same time.
Seeing the tiled house, Wu Xie seemed a little excited. He looked at his watch and said, "I thought it would take several hours to walk to the village. Now it seems that even if Uncle Tai and the others set off early this morning, we have to catch up."
It’s not too difficult for them.”
Wu Xie said, speeding up a little and striding forward.
Ding Ze and Lao Itch didn't say anything and followed silently.
In a blink of an eye.
The entire village appeared in the sight of the three people.
Appearing in the three people's field of vision at the same time were several old men sitting at the entrance of the village, eating flatbread and fried dough sticks.
Immediately.
Wu Xie stopped and his throat moved.
Gulu.
At the same time, my stomach let out a cry of protest.
Ding Ze heard this, stopped, and couldn't help but grin, "Wu Xie, why do you look like you're drooling? What's the matter, are you interested in those old men?"
Wu Xie: "╮(╯▽╰)╭..."
"Brother Ding, what I'm interested in are the big cakes and fried dough sticks in the hands of those old men," Wu Xie explained with a depressed look, then he touched his belly, "I'm quite greedy for these things, how about we
Would you like to delay a little and go into the village to buy some hot breakfast?"
As soon as Wu Xie's words came out of his mouth, Lao Chi immediately agreed, "I think it can be done, and we can do it in the same amount of time."
With Lao Itch's support, Wu Xie looked at Ding Ze and said, "Brother Ding, two to one, let's go in and have something to eat before we leave."
Ding Ze nodded.
The three of them headed towards the entrance of the village.
After a while, just like the original plot, because Lao Itch walked too skillfully, Wu Xie had doubts and doubts in his eyes, and he moved his mouth, "Lao Itch, it seems to me that you are quite familiar with this village?"
Words spread.
Lao Chi, who was walking in front unknowingly, hesitated slightly, followed, raised his hand and scratched his head, and said embarrassedly, "I came to this village last time, and last time I - I
I also hired a guide in the village."
"Three years have passed, and I--forgot--forgot about this matter. I just--just remembered it."
Wu Xie was speechless for a while, "..."
Lao Itch glanced at Wu Xie and skipped the matter without further explanation, "Just in time, I thought - I remembered where the guide probably lived. I - let's go see his old man.
Call me by the way to find out about the ancient tomb."
Wu Xie still said nothing and turned to look at Ding Ze with complicated eyes.
Ding Ze noticed it, shook his head slightly, and said nothing.
The three of them became quiet, and no one said anything. They walked into the village silently and walked forward slowly.
-------------------
The village is not big.
However, the path is a bit complicated.
Because of this complexity, Lao Chu, who was responsible for leading the way, scratched his head and said uncertainly, "I don't remember exactly how to go. Let's go around."
"
"As soon as I see the guide's house, I will definitely recognize it."
This goes around.
The three of them walked around almost half of the village.
Fortunately, at this time...
"I found it, it's him, Lao Liutou," Lao Itch said firmly, pointing to the old man with a white beard sitting in front of a two-story tiled house basking in the sun not too far ahead.
After saying this, Lao Itch raised his feet and walked directly to Lao Liutou. As he walked, he briefly introduced Lao Liutou's situation.
"This old Liu Tou was a runaway when he was young... He is an old hunter here."
"I heard that in recent years, almost all the teams that entered the depths of the Qinling Mountains, whether they were archaeological teams or tomb robbing teams, were looking for him at the beginning...
…”
Bah bah bah bah.
The old itch talked a lot.
The words fell to the ground.
The three of them arrived in front of Old Liu Tou.
Lao Itch handed over a cigarette, said a few polite words, and then offered to buy some pancakes and fried dough sticks, and then said what he wanted to say, "Master Liu, the three of us are planning to go into the mountains..."
Before Lao Itch could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lao Liu, who shook his head and said in a serious and firm tone, "No, no, we can't go into the mountains at this time. I won't lead the team, so you'd better not go either.
"
Wu Xie heard this and was confused, "Now should be a good time for hunting. Why can't we go into the mountains?"
Old Liu Tou did not reply immediately. Instead, he turned around and shouted into the room, asking his son to prepare three loads of big cakes and fried dough sticks.
After receiving a response, he said to Wu Xie, "What I mean is that the place you are going to cannot go at this time of year!"
Hear this.
Wu Xie and Lao Chu looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Lao Itch smiled, "Master Liu, I haven't even said where we are going..."
"What?" Lao Liutou didn't expect it and was a little embarrassed, "Aren't you going to the place you went to last time?"
After saying something awkward, Lao Liutou laughed, "My fault, I thought you were just like those people before and wanted to go to Jiazigou."
Hear the words.
Ding.
Wu Xie and Lao Chu's expressions suddenly changed.
Lao Itch: "Master Liu, what do you mean? What happened over there?"
"Haunted!" Old Liu Tou said concisely and concisely, "At this time of year, Jiazigou is very haunted..."
"That place is actually a plank road of sinister soldiers...it's very evil."
Lao Liutou, bah bah, described the horror of Jiazigou.
--------------------------
Hear this.
Knowing that there was only a little pleasantries left, Ding Ze held a cigarette in his mouth and stopped listening. He moved his eyes and looked around.
Probably because he is a country boy, he really likes this kind of small mountain village.
'Perhaps, we can go back to Blue Star and find a mountainous area with beautiful scenery and build a manor or something.'
Ding Ze couldn't help but think. For a moment, his thoughts unconsciously spread out and he thought about a lot of things.
It wasn't until Wu Xie's voice came that he came back to his senses...
"Brother Ding, what are you thinking about? It's time to go."
"good."
Ding Ze responded, and then, together with Wu Xie and Lao Chu, said goodbye to Lao Liu Tou and turned to leave.
