Chapter 675: The Unpopular Orchid Man
It took two days for Chen Yi and others to rush from East China to Cangliu Town in Shennongjia.
Although it is said to be a town, the infrastructure facilities in it can withstand the general county seat in East China, and the environment is good, close to the mountains and forests, surrounded by streams, and the air has a trace of mountain freshness, which makes people feel intoxicated.
The only thing that breaks the harmony here is the site that is rumbling under construction, the highways, the real estate, as far as the eye can see, are full of thriving vitality.
"Huaxia has developed too fast in recent years, the last time I came, it was still a vacant land, and now, you see, it has become a real estate, which is really a change every year", He Qingqing pointed to a newly built real estate outside the car window and said with emotion.
Chen Yi looked curiously at this small town in the mountains, and also sighed, between the vertical and horizontal mountains and rivers, he actually wanted to hide such a treasure land, backed by high mountains, surrounded by streams, but the terrain was in a low-lying basin.
When they arrived at the place, it was already afternoon, and He Qingqing and Chu Haimen seemed to be familiar with the road, turning around on the country road, and stopped in front of a small courtyard.
"Haha, coffin ghost, monster in the water, rush to the west sooner or later, white ants, white-headed donkeys, wear hemp and wear filial piety to be happy......"
Just when a few people got out of the car, an old man in tattered clothes, dirty face, shawl hair jumped out of nowhere, crying and laughing, crazy and weird.
Chen Yi looked at Chu Haimen's coquettish white clothes and white pants, and really Nima was a white ant and a white-headed donkey, and he almost didn't laugh, "Haha, orchid man, your dress is too appropriate, this person is right!"
"Fuck off!"
Chu Haimen rolled his eyes, took out two hundred-yuan bills from his wallet, handed them to the crazy figure, and said, "Let's go, let's go, find a place to buy some wine to drink." ”
The madman stretched out his hand to take it, and was stunned for a moment, suddenly, like an electric shock, he suddenly retracted his hand, pointed at Chu Haimen and shouted, "Dig a grave and dig a hole to lose your conscience, good you Cao Apu, who doesn't pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, look at my second master Guan today to warm wine and kill the thief chief, wow, ......"
"Old bellflower, what kind of madness are you having, where is it cool!"
An elderly woman in her fifties came out of the courtyard and shouted at the madman, who saw the fierce woman as if he had seen a ghost, ran away, and disappeared around the corner of the alley.
"Qingqing, why don't you say hello to me when you come back, you see, I haven't even prepared a meal", the woman saw He Qingqing, her face was full of joy, and she saw Chen Yi and Chu Haimen again, and said with some doubts: "These two are?"
"Aunt Peng, they are my friends......"
"You're Aunt Peng, right? I've heard my dad say you many times, it's rare for so long, your family is still guarding the old mansion here", before He Qingqing finished speaking, Chu Haimen took Aunt Peng's hand enthusiastically and kept saying.
That Aunt Peng looked at Chu Haimen, her expression was very confused, and she looked at He Qingqing again, and said, "You are?"
"He Zhensheng's son!" He Qingqing's face turned cold.
"He Zhensheng, are you He Ye's son?" Aunt Peng was stunned for a moment, and then carefully looked at Chu Haimen's face and figure, and really found a little bit of the shadow of the ancients.
Chu Haimen took in the changes in her face, was overjoyed, and asked, "Aunt Peng, how is it, do you recognize me?" My father has told me many times that if I have the opportunity, he wants me to honor you well. ”
In stark contrast to Chu Haimen's happy face was Aunt Peng's increasingly cold face, she looked at Chu Haimen vigilantly, and said, "What are you doing here? When He Ye was leaving, he ticked his name and surname in the ancestral hall, swore a blood oath, and never had anything to do with the He family for the rest of his life, what are you doing when you come back?"
When Chu Haimen heard this past, the smile on his face instantly dissipated, his bearded face twitched involuntarily, as if full of humiliation, a pair of peach blossom eyes flashed with cold light, and Aunt Peng, who was in her fifties and looked like a country woman, stared back without fear.
"Okay, Aunt Peng, Lao Chu is here to help me, Taigong is not in good health, he needs to go into the mountains to dig some herbs to nourish, both of them are here to help me, you don't have to be like him", He Qingqing saw that the two were about to stiffen as soon as they met, and hurriedly adjusted from the middle.
Aunt Peng's face looked a little better, but she still pointed at Chen Yi and asked with some vigilance, "Who is he?
"No, his surname is Chen, not the Chu family, he is a friend of mine in East China, and he wants to come to our Shennongjia for a tour, so he came over together", He Qingqing told a little lie.
Chen Yi had been standing aside and watching the excitement, thinking about the complicated relationship between the two people, and suddenly saw that they were talking about him, so he smiled and said: "Hello Aunt Peng, my name is Chen Yi, you can call me Xiao Chen, I may bother you for a few days in the future." ”
"Hehe, don't bother, don't bother, the visitor is a guest, and Aunt Peng hasn't been lively here for a few days. ”
When Aunt Peng heard that Chen Yi was not from the Chu family, she immediately put on a warm smile on her face and said, "It's from East China? That's quite far, hurry up and enter the house and rest first." ”
"Okay, let's pack up and go in", He Qingqing also said.
Chen Yi and the others took several large packages in the car together, and followed Aunt Peng to the house.
After arranging the room, a few people put away the miscellaneous things, Chen Yi asked Aunt Peng, "Aunt Peng, what happened to that person just now, madman, what he said is still a set?"
"You said old bellflower, right?"
Aunt Peng sighed and said: "Alas, it's pitiful, he was originally a person here who went into the mountains to dig bellflowers, and he was also a good hand at going up the mountain and down the lake, but since he entered the mountain a few years ago, he didn't come out for more than half a year, we all thought he was dead, but I didn't think he came back again, and then he became like this, gossip all day long, people said that they met the coffin monster and were sucked away from their souls, so they became stupid and stupid." ”
"Coffin monster?"
When he first came to this picturesque town, Chen Yi had already heard them mention this "coffin monster" twice, "What is this?"
"Hehe, the superstitions in the mountains can't be true. ”
Aunt Peng shook her head and said: "The old people are all said to have a short neck, a square head, and a long body living in the Nianzi Lake in the mountains, like a coffin, which can suck people's souls. ”
He Qingqing glanced at Chen Yi, smiled with a smile, and said half-truthfully: "There are not only coffin monsters here, but also hemp tigers, chessboard snakes, cockscomb snakes, etc., Mr. Chen should not touch them when he goes into the mountains to play, they are very dangerous." ”
