Otherworldly Merchant

The fat driver took a hard smoke: “In fact, you're not the first one to come to the old village. When I was very young, a lot of outsiders came to me, but they all disappointed! Legend has it that there is no such thing as an old village. If there were such a place, the 1.3 billion people in China would still be squeezed over? Since ancient times, what Qin Shihuang, what Tang Taizong, who doesn't want to live forever? ”

“In fact, the so-called old village is a small village east of Qiuchi County! The place is surrounded by mountains, very obstructed, the people in the village rarely interact with the outside, and because the young people in the village work outside, they live with elderly people, so we call it an old village, but it has nothing to do with immortality.” Fat driver.

Uncle Niu's eyes lit up after listening.

Fat drivers continued, “A lot of people want to go to the old village to find the Fountain, but they all go for nothing. Also because the mountain road there is difficult to walk, people often fall and die, gradually no one goes..."

He wasn't finished, and the skinny woman screamed downstairs with her heart torn apart: "Why don't you go downstairs and sleep and die up there? ”

The fat man hurried to touch his nose: “Anyway, the old village is a pit. You guys stop at my house for one night. What are you doing tomorrow? Don't jump into the trap.” After that, the ashes slipped down the stairs.

I looked at Uncle Niu and said, "What do you think? ”

“I'm still going!” Uncle Niu is a muscle, and the accepted logic doesn't turn at all: “I came all the way here, I must go to the old village to see it. That was my last hope and that of the calf, and I couldn't give up. ”

But the fat driver also said that the mountain road to the old village was very rugged, and one could fall into a cliff without paying attention. He's going to have a hard time walking on his own, especially with a sick son?

I thought about it, decided to go with him, who made us good people. Looking at the blue and black muscle vein on my wrist, if my heart helped Uncle Niu, would it count as Yin De? I suppose so. After all, there is a good life in heaven.

Early the next morning, when we were ready to leave, the fat driver had driven away and the skinny woman was still flying. I didn't even care what we meant when I heard voiceheads throwing out $40 in change without lifting it.

Uncle Niu and I were about to leave. When we were going out, the skinny woman suddenly warned: “If you really want to go to the village, go in through the west trail. Don't take the main road. It's not safe. ”

I looked back at her a few times and saw her continue to fan the fly.

It's kind of interesting for a couple, a good guy who's cold and hot, much better than some of the animals in the big city. I laughed and thanked Uncle Niu for leaving the hotel door.

The sun is shining, from Akichi County all the way east, with tidy and orderly paddy fields on both sides of the road.

Uncle Niu is a good player in the countryside, and he also told me that this year's harvest must be bad due to too much rain and so on.

We walked for two or three hours, resting countless times in the middle, and it was not until noon that we arrived in a large, dense forest, with only one mountain road leading deep into the forest.

Though this is the hottest time of the day, the sun is empty, there is still a hidden layer of fog floating in the forest, which is still faint at first, and the deeper it gets, the harder it becomes to see things.

Years of experience in handling pussy tells me that there must be some cat fatigue in this fog. Is there really a powerful pussy around here?

Uncle Niu obviously did not think so. In his view, some of the fog in the old forest in the deep mountains was perfectly normal, and he walked along the mountain road with the calf behind his back without thinking.

I thought about it and frowned on his footsteps!

Extraordinary silence in the Great Forest, not even a bird scream, is strangely scary around. All you can hear in your ear is a weak cough from the calf, followed by a breath break at any moment.

I don't know how long I've been walking, the scenery around me still hasn't changed. I looked around for a week and thought I might have lost my way. I hurried to scream at Uncle Niu.

Uncle Niu asked stunnedly, "What should we do? ”

I thought about it, bending over and picking up a little rock and marking a big tree on the side of the road.

We walked a long way again, and no surprise we went back to the tree.

Uncle Niu obviously panicked: “Brother Zhang, what should we do?” Uncle Niu has been calling me that ever since he found out my name, with great respect in his breath.

Now we can be sure that we're lost, and most importantly, we've been circling, not only can't find our way forward, but we can't even find our way back. As if the two jars were trapped in a jar, they were all spinning in place!

Uncle Niu was carrying the calf all the way, and his strength was a little unbearable. Now put the pale calf on the ground and take out the kettle to feed him water. I sat on my knees and calmly analyzed it. We had to stop now. We couldn't risk another mess! Otherwise, when energy is exhausted and there is no food or water supplementation, you will surely be trapped in the woods.

All of a sudden, I thought about skinny women before I left the hotel, and she reminded us to take the trail to the old village. But all the way here, we only saw one way, we didn't even see the so-called trail?

The calf rested for a moment and breathed clearly smoothly. In this strange quiet, a sudden sound of footsteps!

I immediately stood up vigilantly from the ground and followed my voice and saw a crowd of people coming out of the fog. In total, there are seven people, all of them look a little lumpy, headed by a young, strong young man, full of bronze muscles, carrying a huge backpack, looking at the outfit as a donkey friend who likes to wander around. He followed a sexy girl, dressed like him, who should be a couple.

Behind them was a talkative little man in a dirty robe with messy hair on his head.

Then there were a few boys with photographic equipment on their backs, followed by a girl in a white shirt at the end of the team, because the distance was too far away to see the face, and I just felt that the long hair was drifting and the thick mist in the woods made me look very immortal, even giving me the illusion of a little dragon girl.

Seven people quickly spotted us, shouting, “Look, it looks like someone's up ahead! ”

The head muscle man screamed consciously and drew a dagger and asked, "What do you do? ”

His tone was very vigilant, as if he was ready to rush to war.

Without my answer, the short Taoist jumped out: "Don't rush it, let me see. ”

He walked over quickly, and I found him short and fat in the vicinity, and his face was crawling with pits, especially the red wine nose. He gazed at me a few times and revealed a big yellow tooth: “Don't worry, I think I'm lost too! ”

The team in the back listened, and now they were all relieved and walked over together.
