The old man's appearance is very hideous, and for Ye Ziyu and other girls, it is inevitable that they will feel scared.

"Old ...... Grandpa, let's go to the mountains to see the scenery. Zhang Shuqi stammered.

The old man's eyes rolled slightly, and his gaze fell on Zhang Shuqi's body, "Are you the little girl of the Yapo family?"

Hearing the old man's words, Zhang Shuqi showed a look of surprise on her face, "Old ...... How do you know, old man?"

"Go back, there's nothing interesting in the back mountains. ”

The old man did not answer Zhang Shuqi's question, but walked towards the grass step by step with the steps of an old man, and finally disappeared into the depths of the jungle.

"What a strange old man. ”

Hua Ming muttered, but Tang Yan asked Zhang Shuqi curiously, "Shuqi, what did this old man say, you are so surprised?"

"My grandmother used to pick tooth worms for people, so everyone in the village called my grandmother and tooth wife, and any family would come to my grandmother if they had uncomfortable teeth. ”

Zhang Shuqi explained, this is why she was surprised, you must know that she was a little bit when she was in Chongming Island, not to mention the eighteen changes of the female college, at least there is a big difference between her appearance when she was a child, and ordinary people can't recognize it at all.

"Could it be that when you were doing your grandmother's funeral, you came back and were seen by this old man, so he recognized you. Ye Ziyu thought for a while and said.

"There is a possibility, but there were too many funeral people at that time, and I didn't notice if there was this old man. ”

Zhang Shuqi wasn't sure, but she thought that there was only this possibility, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain why the old man knew her, you must know that they had just arrived on the island, and they had not told anyone their identities.

"You said that your grandmother showed people teeth, and it seems that your grandmother was still a doctor, but there were very few people who were dentists in those days. ”

Lin Siqi was a little puzzled, people's living standards at that time were not very high, and no one could take care of the protection of teeth, and to be honest, dentistry has only appeared in the last ten years, that is, there are no underdeveloped places now.

"My grandmother is not a doctor, she didn't read a book in that era, she showed people teeth is to scratch the worms in the teeth, in addition to the worms, there are also eye worms, I once saw my grandmother treat people, when they scratch eye worms, they use two chopsticks to provoke under the eyelids, and the eye worms fall out, and the teeth are the same. ”

Hearing Zhang Shuqi's words, Fang Ming's face suddenly showed a strange smile, and his smile happened to be captured by Ling Yao, Ling Yao directly asked, "Is it so funny?"

"The ......"

Fang Ming rubbed his nose a little embarrassed, and saw that the other girls were also casting puzzled glances, so he had to explain: "Zhang Shuqi, I don't mean anything else, if I guess correctly, your grandmother should be a person from the eight gates of the rivers and lakes." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Zhang Shuqi suspiciously.

"The so-called eight gates of the rivers and lakes are the collective name of some people who have walked the rivers and lakes in the past, these people have more or less a skill, otherwise it is impossible to walk the rivers and lakes, and your grandmother is one of them. ”

Three religions and nine streams, eight gates of rivers and lakes, all of them have unique skills, these people who walk the rivers and lakes rely on this foothold, but after the Qing Dynasty, the eight gates of the rivers and lakes began to retreat, and the eight people in the market are just wandering artists who cheat to eat and drink, relying on some deception.

And among these deceptions, the so-called tooth picker is one of them.

In fact, how can human teeth and eyes pick out so many bugs, it is only with a special kind of grass seed that looks exactly like an insect when soaked in water.

Therefore, when this kind of person picks tooth worms with others, the chopsticks must be put into the water at the end, and then the master sees that there are indeed insects in the water, so he naturally believes it.

"It turned out to be a deception. ”

After listening to Fang Ming's words, Hua Ming was stunned, and Zhang Shuqi's face was slightly ugly, Fang Ming smiled and continued to explain: "It can't be said that it's all a deception, many people feel that their eyes are very comfortable after being picked with insects, or their teeth are not so painful, this is not a psychological effect, but this kind of artist secretly puts some medicinal powder on the owner's eyes." ”

Moreover, most of these wandering artists who walk the rivers and lakes generally do not ask the master for money, they just get saliva to drink or find something to eat to be satisfied, all to make a living, not to be a liar. ”

Before the Qing Dynasty, there were many serious rules, that is, those who rely on deception cannot cheat money and sex, and can only use this to earn some travel expenses or get a full warmth.

"Okay, we're not here to discuss Grandma Shuqi, we're here to explore, Shuqi, I'm more interested in the place you said now, let's hurry up and climb over this mountain." ”

Tang Yan spoke, and the group continued to move forward, but Fang Ming's gaze was to look in the direction where the old man disappeared a few times, and finally, in the corner of the col, he clearly saw the old man standing there, looking at them with old eyes, with an old face with a strange smile.

"I've climbed to the top of the mountain, the air is so fresh, huh......"

The first to climb to the top of the mountain was Tang Yan, but the next moment her words came to an abrupt end, and her eyes were straight ahead.

"What is the building. ”

"It's like a castle. ”

On the other side of the mountain, the clouds were very large, but in the clouds and mist, a corner of a certain building was faintly revealed, and when you looked closely, you found that it was actually a castle.

There is a castle on Chongyang Island.

"I never heard my grandmother talk about it behind the mountain, and I never knew there would be a castle behind it. ”

Zhang Shuqi had a look of surprise on her face, it was unbelievable that such a castle was not known to the outside world in this era of advanced information.

"The old castle is indeed very suitable for the adventure scene, let's go down and have a look. ”

Chen Ze couldn't help it, while Hua Ming looked at Fang Ming, because he had been educated by his old man since he was a child, that is, some strange places must not be visited.

Back then, it was very popular to play pickle games such as pen fairies in college, but he never touched them.

Fang Ming was also staring at this castle at the moment, different from Tang Yan's observations, what he felt was the aura around this castle, this castle gave him a very strange feeling, it was not good or bad.

"Hey, who are you, come down quickly. ”

And at this moment, there was a sudden shout at the foot of the mountain, and a young man saw Fang Ming and the others, shouting as he walked towards the mountain.

A few minutes later, the young man came to Fang Ming and the others, this was a child who had grown up on an authentic island, his skin was a little rough and dark because of the sea breeze.

"Brother Wang Tian?"

Zhang Shuqi stared at the young man for a moment, and suddenly shouted in surprise.

Wang Tian was also stunned, his eyes fell on Zhang Shuqi's body, his face showed a look of memory, but he couldn't remember who Zhang Shuqi was after thinking about it for a long time.

"It's me, Yapo's family. Zhang Shuqi said with some excitement.

"You're a second girl?"

Grass seeds

Wang Tian stared at Zhang Shuqi in disbelief, and Zhang Shuqi's pretty face turned crimson when she heard this title, Erniu was the nickname given to her by her grandmother, because her aunt also had a daughter, that is, her cousin, her cousin was called Da Niu, and she was Erniu.

"I really can't see it, Erniu, you have changed too much. ”

It is a happy thing for childhood playmates to meet, Wang Tian originally wanted to come up and give Zhang Shuqi a hug, but he just looked at his dirty hands and clothes, and then looked at Zhang Shuqi's tender white skin and clean clothes, but in the end he didn't come forward.

Feeling Wang Tian's restraint, Fang Ming looked at Ye Ziyu, if he was just an ordinary child in Miaohe Village, when he met Ye Ziyu again, would he feel ashamed like Wang Tian.

"You've changed too, you used to be thin and weak, but I didn't expect you to be so strong now. ”

Zhang Shuqi stepped forward and hugged Wang Tian generously, and then began to introduce Fang Ming and others.

After everyone had greeted each other politely, Fang Ming suddenly asked, "Brother Wang, why did you stop us just now?"

"This mountain is forbidden land, and no one is allowed to enter our village...... Shuqi knows. Wang Tiangang was about to shout out the second girl, but finally hurriedly changed his words in Zhang Shuqi's eyes of wanting to eat people.

"I know that, but I'm just curious, and I want to bring my friends here for an adventure, and aren't you curious?"

"Curiosity, curiosity, is it important to be curious?"

Hearing Wang Tian's words, everyone's eyes looked at him, and Wang Tian seemed to know that he had missed his mouth, so he immediately closed his mouth.

Fang Ming glanced at Zhang Shuqi, Zhang Shuqi understood, and said half-coquettishly: "Brother Tian, tell us what you know." ”

"Can't say, really can't say. Wang Tian shook his head like a rattle.

Zhang Shuqi was angry, she didn't expect that her beauty plan would be useless, this was a blow to her.

"Okay, you don't say pull down, you don't say we'll go by ourselves. ”

Zhang Shuqi was about to walk in the direction of the castle, Wang Tian was anxious, and grabbed Zhang Shuqi's hand, but was immediately thrown away by Zhang Shuqi.

"That...... I didn't mean to...... I'm just ......" Wang Tian hurriedly explained, but looking at Zhang Shuqi's pretty face, he finally sighed and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, but you must not spread the word, and you can't go to that castle again." ”

Yes!

After Wang Tianyan finished speaking, Zhang Shuqi showed a smile on her face and made a victory gesture, but Fang Ming sighed in his heart, sure enough, it is a hero who is sad to pass the beauty pass, and when a man meets a woman, it is difficult to maintain the principle.

"This castle, the old people of the village called it the city of sin, and it is said that those who enter the castle are sinful people, and once they step inside, they will not be able to come out, and they will be punished in it, and the heavier the sin committed in life, the heavier the punishment. ”

Wang Tian's voice was very low, but everyone still heard it clearly, but Chen Ze pouted after listening, "Aren't you talking about hell?"

"Hell is the punishment of the dead, but this sin city is the living, our village used to have a few people missing every year, do you know where these people went, all of them were brought into the sin city and never came out again. ”
