Volume 1 Volume 7 Chapter 100

I don’t know how long it’s been. I’ve repeatedly had many messy dreams. In the haze, I seemed to see a woman in white with her back to me. I wanted to see her face, so I ran in front of her, but I still saw her back. So I ran back and forth, but no matter how I ran, I could only see her back. I was wondering what was going on when I suddenly realized that she had a back on both sides. I woke up with a cry, and as soon as my eyes opened, I saw the blood-red sunset and the sky!

“Woke up?” Pan Zi a big face smiled at me.

I squinted to adjust to the light, and Pan Zi pointed to the sky: “See, damn it, we’re finally out!”

I touched the back of my head: “You little brat, did you hit me!”

“Wouldn’t you hit you? I told you not to look back, you almost killed us.”

My memory suddenly returned, and I was so scared that I touched my back to see if the thing behind me was still there. Pan Zi laughed heartily: “Don’t worry, it’s gone.”

“What was that thing?” I was was still lingering.

“The young man said that the thing was called a puppet, and it was actually the soul of the white-clad woman. She was just using your yang energy to get out of the corpse hole, but the young man didn’t tell us the details. He just said a few words and passed out.” Uncle San said while rowing, “But it seems that the young man is no small potatoes. The thousand-year-old zongzi just knelt to him. I don’t know what kind of Tao he has!”

I sat up and saw that Mian Youping and Pang Kui were lying side by side, both sound asleep. I smiled. I didn’t think much of it when I came here, but now that I see this day, I feel particularly comfortable. I asked, “Who exactly is he?”

Uncle San shook his head: “I really don’t know. I asked my friends in Changsha to introduce an experienced helper, and they introduced him. I only know his surname is Zhang. I tried him many times on the way, and he either slept or was in a daze. I don’t know his background, but the person who introduced him is very respected in this field. The people he introduces should be trustworthy.”

I listened, the more I felt that this person was very mysterious, but since Uncle San had said so, it was pointless to ask again. I looked ahead and asked Pan Zi, “Can you see that village?”

“It seems to be just ahead.”

Uncle San pointed to the lights that were already dotted in front of us: “It seems that the village is not as broken as we thought, and there seems to be electric lights.”

As soon as I thought of a village, I immediately thought of a hot bath, stir-fried game, and the braids of the village girls, and I couldn’t help but get more and more excited. At this At this time, I saw a group of people’s shadows on the top of the mountain to the left and right of us in the setting sun. They were riding mules, and it looked like they were also entering the village, because the mountain was not high. I could vaguely tell that none of these people looked like locals.

We got on the ferry, and a little village child saw us and suddenly yelled, “There are ghosts!”

We were puzzled, but the child ran very fast, and there was nothing we could do. The cow was obediently staying on the boat behind, without a hint of temper. It was a good cow. Pan Zi had been a cowherd in his hometown, so he took on the role of herding the cow. When we got ashore, Da Kui woke up and thought he had just been dreaming. First, he was beaten by my third uncle, and then Pan Zi gave him a few more kicks.

The stuffy The oil bottle seemed to have lost too much blood and never woke up. I helped him onto the oxcart. This person was really something. He was as soft as a woman and seemed to have no bones. I settled him in. Uncle San grabbed a passerby and asked where there was a hotel. The man looked at us like we were crazy: “What do you think this place is? There are only thirty-odd households in our village. There’s no hotel. If you want a place to stay, go to the village guesthouse.”

We We had to find the guesthouse, which looked like a haunted house. We didn’t expect it to be so good inside. At least it had electricity and a telephone, and it was a concrete building. The most valuable thing was that there was hot water and the bedding was very clean. In this village, it should be a five-star standard.

We each took a shower, which was so comfortable that it washed away the stench of the corpse. Then we went to the lobby to eat stir-fried vegetables. The oily bottle finally woke up, but he was in very poor spirits. We ordered him a plate of pig liver to replenish his blood, and we didn’t ask him anything. In the end he was a life saver, so we had to wait until he recovered before we said anything.

We ordered beer, but we couldn’t drink too much because we had to work the next day. While we were eating, we flirted with the waitress, “I’m telling you, sister, you have a nice place here. Look at the cement floors and the cement road outside. How did you get all this cement here? The mules carried it here, one load at a time, from the top of the mountain?”

“No No, it’s impossible. When will it be finished? We have had a road here for a long time. Even the Liberation Army could come here. Then, two years ago, a landslide buried the road and a big pot was unearthed in the mountain. Many people from the province came and said that it was a national treasure from the Warring States period and took the pot away, leaving the road behind. The village said they would repair it, but they never did. They have no money, and the repairs have been stopped and started for a year.

“What about the waterway? Don’t you have a ferry here?”

“That was all before liberation. No one has used the ferry for many years. If someone were to let you use the waterway now, they would definitely be trying to rob you. You outsiders must be careful. This water is very evil. In recent years, a few people have drowned, and not a single corpse has been recovered. Our family elders secretly said that it was swallowed by the mountain god.

I glanced at Uncle San and thought to myself, what kind of guide did your mother find? It seems that she just found a thief. Uncle San was embarrassed and couldn’t bring himself to go down, so he quickly drank some wine. “By the way, are there many outsiders here?”

“You Don’t look down on my small guesthouse, but I can tell you that as long as they are from other places, they will stay with us. During this time, since the tripod was unearthed, there have been more and more people from other places here, and some people are preparing to build villas on the other side of the mountain.

Uncle San stood up and shouted, “Fuck, that’s not right!” Building villas in this wild mountain is either being an overseas Chinese or tomb raiding.

The big The girl was startled, and Pan Zi quickly pulled Uncle San: “Uncle San, you’re getting on in years, don’t be so surprised,” and then said to the girl, “It’s nothing, Uncle San probably just thinks it’s incredible.”

I heard Uncle San whisper a curse, then smiled sheepishly and asked, “Hey, do you have any famous places or historic sites?

The waitress smiled and suddenly whispered, ”You guys don’t seem like you’re here to have fun.

Seeing We didn’t say anything, so she sat down next to us. “To be honest, all the outsiders who come here are here to dig for treasure. If you really came here for sightseeing, wouldn’t this car of equipment be a burden?”

Uncle San looked at me and poured a glass of wine for the young lady. “So you’re an expert too?”

“Cough I’m not an expert. I heard my grandfather say that over the years, many people have come here to dig up tombs and found many good things, but my grandfather said that the really good things are further in, in a fairy tomb. Not to mention gold and silver, those things are nothing compared to the treasures of the fairies.

“Oh,” said Uncle San, very interested. “So your grandfather has been inside?”

The big The girl smiled and said, “You’re right. My grandfather heard it from his grandfather. This legend has been around for ages. The fairy was said to have been sent by the Jade Emperor to become a great general and help the emperor fight in battle. When he had accomplished his mission, he ascended to heaven, and his mortal body was buried with the treasures he used in battle. The tomb is even better than the emperor’s, otherwise how could it be called a fairy?”

“If that’s the case, there must be a lot of people looking for this tomb,” said Uncle San asked nervously. “Has anyone found it?”

“Hey, you don’t know, that place is now completely inaccessible. When the mountain collapsed two years ago, the place collapsed too. Guess what came out of the mountain?”

“What, it’s always a tripod or something,” said Fangkui.

“What What? If it really was a tripod, it would have been taken away by someone. I’m telling you, don’t tell anyone,” the girl said, taking a sip of beer. ‘More than 100 human heads were dug up from that place!’
