At 10:40 a.m., Tian Jiu and Chuanhua saw two vans drive into the resort's parking lot from the outside and stopped at the gate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Immediately after, there was a commotion in the lobby of the resort, and several managers ran to the door from their respective posts.

This time Niu Dakui to the resort is a temporary decision, some managers did not get the news in advance, Zhou Xianmin is he called to ask Niu Dakui to come back, so he knows very well Niu Dakui's accurate arrival time, when the car just entered Taoxi Village, he has been walking around the parking lot, waiting for Niu Dakui to arrive.

After a while, as the footsteps approached, a group of people gathered around a short, stocky man walked in. The man looked to be in his early fifties, wearing a dark blue suit, and at first glance he had a round belly and a shiny bald head, and he walked with a swagger and majesty, and greeted them with a smile as he passed in front of several employees who were standing to greet him, but the smile on his face was obvious that it was a deliberate display of friendliness and not sincerity.

Zhou Xianmin walked next to Niu Dakui, and when he passed in front of Tian Jiu and Chuanhua, he gave them a hint with his eyes, implying that the slender man beside him was Wang Xigui. Wang Xigui doesn't look anything special on the outside, with a slender figure, a thin face, sparse eyebrows, a goatee, a set of old-fashioned Zhongshan suits, a gossip compass in his right hand, and a vigorous and upright stride, judging by his age, he should be around thirty-five or sixteen.

The group quickly disappeared into the lobby, Tian Jiu and Chuanhua glanced at each other, and did not immediately stand up and leave, they estimated that it would not be long before Zhou Xianmin would call them.

Sure enough, at about eleven o'clock, Zhou Xianmin's call came, Zhou Xianmin lowered his voice very low, probably hiding to the side behind his back and secretly calling. Zhou Xianmin said: "Niu Dakui is in my office, I will accompany them to eat first, and I will take him outside to see the hot spring eye at about three o'clock in the afternoon. Also, don't let him perceive that we know each other, so that it will be better for us to act together. ”

"Okay, I understand, we'll be there on time in the afternoon." Tian Jiu stood up after answering the phone and said, "Zhou Xianmin let us go directly to see Niu Dakui in the afternoon." Let's go to dinner now, then take a break, and go to see Niu Dakui at three o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"Did Zhou Xianmin tell Niu Dakui what we meant?" Chuanhua then stood up, and the two walked to the restaurant together.

"Probably not, he means not to let Niu Dakui find out that we know him, so that he can help us talk from the side."

"Do you think Zhou Xianmin really wants to help us?"

"Don't worry, he's really helping us." Tian Jiu had read Zhou Xianmin's heart, and he had already felt Zhou Xianmin's inner thoughts clearly.

The two of them had a brief lunch in the restaurant and then returned to their rooms to rest. Tian Jiu was lying on the bed, not sleepy at all, and his mind was full of thinking about how to break him with a word when he saw Niu Dakui later, just when he was in a daze and seemed to be about to fall asleep, there was a gentle knock at the door, and he looked at the time, 2:40. 'Oops, sleep in a daze. He rolled over and hurriedly got up to open the door.

Li Chuanhua stood at the door, seeing that Tian Jiu was sleepy-eyed and his hair was messy, he muttered secretly: Fortunately, I came over to call him in advance, otherwise I would be late.

Tian Jiu saw Chuanhua staring at him but didn't speak, knowing that he was faintly blaming himself in his heart, he smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I've been thinking about things, I didn't want to fall asleep, but I didn't expect to be confused, fortunately, you came over early to call me." ”

Hearing Tian Jiu's explanation, Chuanhua was embarrassed: "It's okay, it's still too late." ”

Tian Jiu didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly freshened up briefly, and didn't dare to take a sip of tea, so he hurriedly followed Chuanhua out of the door and walked outside.

The hot spring eye is some distance from the resort, just near the peach forest. When Tian Jiu and Chuanhua arrived here, they didn't see a single person. Tian Jiu looked at the time and said, "It's not yet three o'clock, I guess they are not so punctual, let's walk around." ”

The two of them circled around the spring, and found nothing unusual except that the pool that had originally come out of the spring was dry.

"How did the people of the Huang family block this spring?" Chuanhua looked at the dry pool, looked left and right, and couldn't see any fame, and said to himself.

"This hot spring is a spring water that naturally gushes out of the ground, and the people of the Huang family have lived under this mountain for hundreds of years, and they know the way of the spring well, so it is naturally not surprising, if they want to block the spring, it is not impossible."

"Things in this world are really strange, who would have thought that there would be a group of people living under this mountain, and they have been living for hundreds of years."

"Before you knew me, would you believe that there were ghosts in the world?" Tian Jiu asked Li Chuanhua rhetorically.

"I really don't believe it."

The two were chatting, and suddenly remembered a noisy sound behind them. The two looked back and saw that it was Zhou Xianmin who led Niu Dakui and Wang Xigui and five or six followers to come.

Niu Dakui was obese, and it seemed a little difficult to walk among the weeds and rocks in the mountains, and from time to time he would step on the uneven roadbed and almost fall, but fortunately there were two loyal retinues around him to support him left and right.

Wang Xigui walked in the front, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Tian Jiu and Chuanhua, and asked in surprise, "Who are you?" How did you get here? ”

"It's in the middle of nowhere, why can't we come?"

"This..." Wang Xigui choked for a moment, and then said: "No, I mean that very few people usually come here, why did you come here?" ”

"Of course, like you, for this spring." Tian Jiu didn't want to talk to them anymore, and said his purpose straightforwardly.

"For this spring? What does this spring have to do with you? Wang Xigui was taken aback and couldn't help but look back at Niu Dakui's reaction.

Sure enough, Niu Dakui was also touched when he heard Tian Jiu say this, Niu Dakui walked up and asked in a rough voice, "Who are you?" What does this spring have to do with you? Do you know why the spring doesn't come out of the water? ”

"Of course we know why the springs don't come out." Tian Jiu said.

"Why?" Niu Dakui and Wang Xigui's eyes lit up at the same time.

"You dug up the back mountain, angered the mountain god, and the mountain god blocked the spring." Tian Jiu said.

"Anger the mountain gods?" Niu Dakui and Wang Xigui were stunned at the same time. But Wang Xigui reacted quickly, and immediately retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about, Houshan and Shanquan are not on the same acupuncture point at all, and the two have nothing to do with each other, how is it possible?" ”

"How is it impossible, the mountain god's mana is boundless, you dig the back mountain and move his god position, it is easy for him to block the spring."

"Really?" Niu Dakui was suspicious, staring at Wang Xigui with a pair of bull's eyes.
