The guide's surname is Liu, but he is only in his thirties, but he is dark-skinned, small, and thin, and his face is full of a weathered sense of history, and he looks like an old man in his fifties.

He only studied for two years, had no special skills, and couldn't earn money when he went out to work, so he had to farm at home, raise chickens and ducks, and have some income all year round.

However, Guide Liu's biggest income is still by taking people from the city into the mountains to earn some hardships.

Knowing that Chu Ning and Shi Jin were going into the mountains to find someone to collect old things, Guide Liu smiled understandingly, and said: "The road in this mountain is not easy to walk, and the people in it are looking forward to coming out, where will anyone want to go in?" If you want me to see, after you leave, I guess not many people will think about going into the mountains anymore!"

In the past few years, no matter how many treasures have been hidden in this mountain, they have been almost harvested by those who have worked tirelessly. Chu Ning may be able to pick up some leaks this time, but as for the people after them, I'm afraid they can really only go back empty-handed.

In fact, in Guide Liu's opinion, those who went into the mountains to collect old things like Chu Ning before were simply fools.

The problem is that there are a lot of stupid people in this city, as if they were in a hurry.

Of course, if it weren't for these fools in the city, he wouldn't have so many opportunities to make money!

Those old things are only used by the poor people in the mountains. If it was replaced in their township, it would have been replaced with a new and beautiful good thing, who would still look at that little old thing?

I think that at the beginning, even their family threw away a lot of old things, all of them were smashed to pieces, and finally they were dumped into the newly repaired garbage pond in the town.

For this reason, Guide Liu has secretly regretted it more than once.

He knew that there were so many stupid city people with money to collect these old things that no one wanted, and he would never have cleaned up his house so much in the first place!

All the old things he smashed and threw away, but they were all money!

Guide Liu regretted that he hadn't been able to get a good night's sleep for months.

Chu Ning also realized after listening to Guide Liu's words.

It was just an excuse to go into the mountains to collect old things, and those who had come before her should have the same purpose as her.

They were trying to find some antiques from the unrecognizable things.

It's just that she didn't expect that someone had this idea several years ago.

Come to think of it, those who do this line of work, if they want to break their heads, they just want to collect a few real antiques and make a fortune. Tao Fei would have so many ideas at such a young age, and those who have been in the antique world for more years than him will only have more ideas.

Chu Ning smiled and talked to Guide Liu, wanting to see if he could get some useful information out of his mouth.

Under her intentional guidance, Guide Liu really revealed a lot of information.

It turned out that the village they were looking for when they entered the mountains today was the most remote village in the township, a long distance away from the second-ranked village, and even few people knew about it.

However, if this village wasn't remote enough, I'm afraid it wouldn't be Tao Fei's turn to find out.

"In the past, when we went into the mountains, we could sit in an ox cart or something, but now we can't. Guide Liu smiled bitterly, "This mountain has been very uneven in recent years, and there have been earthquakes and mudslides, which have destroyed the previous dirt roads, but we have suffered from them." In many places, not to mention ox carts, even the cattle can't get in, so they can only rely on our two legs. ”

Before Chu Ning and Shi Jin arrived, there had just been a mudslide here, and several roads were blocked. Today, Guide Liu took them on a small road, although it was a little remote and rugged, but the distance into the mountain was shortened, which was exactly what Chu Ning and Shi Jin wanted.

The three of them walked and chatted all the way, and finally arrived at the village they were looking for before three o'clock in the afternoon.

When the village appeared in front of them, not to mention Chu Ning and Shi Jin, even Guide Liu, a local, sighed a little.

It's really because of this village, it's too dilapidated!

There are not many people in the village anymore, and there are only less than 20 families at the top of the sky, which seems very lonely. Moreover, most of the houses in the village are still mud walls and straw roofs, and there are not even a few bricks and tiles in sight.

The figures of the villagers loomed in the dilapidated houses, almost all of them wearing patched clothes, the corners of which had already been washed white. Even if there are those clothes that are not patched, it is because those clothes are not repaired at all, they are just hanging in tatters.

In two lifetimes, it was the first time Chu Ning saw such a poor village, and he was almost stunned!

She looked at Guide Liu and asked, "This village is like this, and there is nothing to be done in the township?"

"Why not?" said Liu fairly, "The township has always wanted to improve the living environment of these mountain people. However, there is not only one village in this mountain, and the power of the township is also limited, so these things can only come slowly. In addition, the road in this mountain is not easy to walk, and the road that was built before was secretly dug back to repair the wall and build a pigsty or something, and it couldn't be stopped. If the township dared to arrest people, all the people in a village would be blocked at the entrance of the police station, and they couldn't all be arrested, right? There was no way, the road was repaired and repaired, and in the end it was destroyed, and the township gave up its plan to build the road. ”

Chu Ning: "......"

The world is so big that there are no surprises.

This kind of strange thing can happen?!

It was an eye-opener for her.

"Actually, the situation is much better now than it was a few years ago. Guide Liu added, "Several villages near the township have been more or less rebuilt, and some roads have been retained. It's just that we don't go in that direction today, that's why you don't see it. ”

Chu Ning sighed.

Well, that's barely good news?

Shi Jin gently patted Chu Ning's shoulder, with comfort in his eyes.

Chu Ning smiled at him.

She may have had some sympathy for the villagers before, but after knowing what they had done, her sympathy had almost dissipated.

While the three of them were talking at the entrance of the village, the village chief had already hurried over with someone to hear the news.

The village chief is a white-bearded old man in his seventies, don't look at his old age, but because of his perennial work, his body looks stronger than Liu Gui, and his eyes are also shining, obviously not a foolish person.

"Young man, you are the one who came to collect old things as Tao boy said, right?" The old village chief knocked the cigarette gun in his hand, squinted at Chu Ning and Shi Jin with a pair of small eyes, and said with a smile, "Knowing that you are coming, we have already packed up all our things and put them all in the ancestral hall! You are going back to the city in a hurry, and I won't delay your time, let's go over and have a look now?"
