Chapter 752: Searching for the Secret of the Ancestral Mansion
"Ancestral home?" Bao Longtu was stunned for a moment, and then said with interest: "By the way, I almost forgot about this." Boss Du, where is your ancestral home, is it convenient for us to visit? ”
Boss Du said that Xiao Shenxian only helped him change his life after seeing his ancestral house. This reason alone is enough to show that there is some kind of secret hidden in his ancestral home.
In this regard, Boss Du also understood the thoughts of the two, and said with a wry smile: "The two of you want to go and see, naturally there is no problem." But don't get your hopes up, after all, I've been studying for decades, and I still haven't found anything. ”
Boss Du must declare in advance, lest the two of them fail to see the reason and suspect him of lying.
"Go and see, see." Bao Longtu smiled: "Satisfy your curiosity." ”
Boss Du looked up at the sky and said, "It's a little late today, how about going back tomorrow?" ”
"No problem." Bao Longtu asked, "Boss Du, is your ancestral house far away from the city?" ”
"It's not far away, but it's very remote." Boss Du explained: "In the deep mountains and old mountains, the road is very rugged, the terrain is steep and steep, and the car can't drive, so you can only walk. It takes an hour to walk, and it takes another hour to come back, and it is estimated that it will be night this time. ”
Fang Yuan glanced at the time on his mobile phone and found that it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go again tomorrow." ”
The time was set, and the next morning, everyone headed towards his ancestral house under the leadership of Boss Du.
Sitting in the car and seeing the familiar road, Bao Longtu was stunned: "Boss Du, this direction seems to be the way to the place yesterday." ”
"yes." Boss Du nodded and said, "The direction is the same." But my ancestral home is further away. ”
"Oh." Bao Longtu thought thoughtfully: "Could it be that after Xiao Shenxian left your ancestral house, he went out for a walk, and when he saw that place, he was sure that it was your chance?" ”
"Uh......" Boss Du was stunned. Hesitantly: "Maybe, after all, from my ancestral house, and then to the city, that place is the only way to go." ”
"Hey, needless to say, there must be some connection between your ancestral home and that place." Bao Long's Turing flashed. said excitedly: "Otherwise, Immortal Xiao will not say that that place is your chance to break through." ”
"Ahh Boss Du was stunned at first. Then he said in surprise: "It seems like this, why didn't I think of ...... before?"
"It's a fan of the authorities." Bao Longtu laughed heartily, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly turned his head and said, "Wait a minute." Meatball. You must have thought of it earlier, did you? Otherwise, I wouldn't have to go to the ancestral house yesterday. ”
"Huh?" Boss Du was stunned, and immediately realized: "Master Fang, why didn't you ......say it earlier?"
"Because I'm not sure if these two places are connected." Fang Yuan said frankly: "Guessed ideas can't be taken seriously, and there needs to be definite evidence. ”
"In other words, it's very likely." Boss Du was ecstatic, as if he had seen a ray of light in the night.
I can see Boss Du's urgency. Fang Yuan nodded slightly: "Sort of." ”
This answer was a little reluctant, but Boss Du listened. But he was overjoyed and immediately ordered the driver to speed up. The car was speeding at a blink of an eye, and in a blink of an eye, it reached the top of the mountain with a thick atmosphere.
At this moment, a group of people are collecting samples on the top of the mountain for geological exploration. However, this is not everyone's destination, so the driver did not stop and just whistled by.
The car was fast and drove for more than half an hour before it stopped at the foot of a vast mountain. There is no doubt that compared to the rocky mountains that were full of vile atmosphere and no grass, this mountain is full of life and lush scenery.
The vast mountains, the plants are dense and flourishing, there are flowers and trees everywhere, the air is fresh and natural, and it is very eye-catching.
At this time, Boss Du apologized and said, "Master Fang, the car can't drive in, and I'm going to leave next." ”
"It's fine." Fang Yuan said disapprerovantly: "Then let's go." ”
This walk, it's more than half an hour. Boss Du is right, the mountain roads here are really very rugged, and they are all narrow and narrow paths. These twists and turns of the path, which was opened up by the ancestors through thorns and thorns, seem to have no rules, but in fact they are relatively safe and labor-saving and easy to walk.
It is these easy paths that everyone feels rugged enough to know the steepness of other places.
It didn't take long for Boss Du to be out of breath, and at the same time he had to explain: "A few decades ago, there were villages in the mountains. But later, with the development of the city, more and more people chose to move out of the mountains and live in the city. Over time, the villages in the mountains were abandoned. ”
"It is only during the New Year's festival that people go into the mountains to worship their ancestors. But as time went on, fewer and fewer people worshipped their ancestors, and in the end there were almost none. ”
Boss Du sighed: "Over the years, there have been more and more weeds on both sides of the road, and it has become more and more difficult to walk. ”
"There is no road in the world, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road." Bao Longtu said with a smile: "Sparsely populated, it has naturally become a world of plants and animals, which is understandable." ”
"Yes, but it also suffers from the people who live in the mountains, and it is very inconvenient to travel." Boss Du said: "There are still two or three families left in the village, and I asked them to help take care of the ancestral home. In return, I regularly sent people to send them some money, grain, oil, rice and meat, and every time I sent them, the person who sent them would always come back and complain to me. ”
"I'm going to complain too." Bao Longtu wiped his sweat, grabbed the grass roots and climbed up a slope, and then took a long breath and said: "It's difficult to walk empty-handed, let alone sending things, it's definitely a physical job." ”
"......" Boss Du didn't have time to respond, and he also crawled hard.
When everyone was exhausted, Boss Du finally showed a smile and signaled, "It's almost there, it's there." ”
"Where?"
Fang Yuan and Bao Longtu looked up, and saw that there were several mountains not far away, which were high into the sky and very majestic. Halfway up one of the mountains, some buildings loom visible in the half-hidden foliage.
Needless to say, that place is the village where Boss Du grew up as a child, where his ancestral house is located. The goal was already close at hand, and everyone naturally lifted their spirits and rushed towards the destination with all their might.
After walking for more than ten minutes, everyone finally reached the village, and then they let out a breath, their waists and legs were sore, and they couldn't sit down immediately and didn't want to move.
At this time, everyone felt that their mouths were dry and their chests were stuffy. Fortunately, the slightest mountain breeze blew and took away a little irritability and heat.
After resting for a while, Fang Yuan was in the mood to take a look at the situation in the village. At a glance, he was surprised to find that the layout of the buildings in the village was orderly and neatly distributed. The houses seem to be deliberately planned, the spatial distance is about the same, and the orientation is also consistent, which is very interesting.
After looking at the layout of the village, Fang Yuan also took advantage of the situation to look at the surrounding environment. But at first glance, he was stunned.
"Why is there so much fog?" Bao Longtu said in surprise: "When I came up just now, I didn't feel ......."
Fang Yuan also felt strange, only to see that looking around from the village, in addition to the towering mountains that the village relied on, the other three sides were full of hazy and floating clouds.
"It's a wonder of our village." Boss Du said with a smile: "Around our village, there are perennial clouds and mist, and only after the heavy rainstorm and the sky clears again for a few minutes, the thick clouds and mist will disappear temporarily." But when the sun cleared, the fog came out again. ”
"That's why the name of our village is Dawu Village. There are no other specialties, but there is a lot of fog, as if you are in a fairyland. ”
Boss Du was half ridiculous, half bitter and sighed: "In the early years, I was poor, basically ran out of food, everyone gnawed on the roots of the turf and trees to survive, and the veritable meal style and dew were very 'happy like a fairy'." ”
While speaking, a gray-haired old man heard the movement, looked at the situation from a house, and saw the figure of Boss Du, he was a little happy, and immediately walked over and greeted: "Little San, are you back......?"
"Ahem!" Boss Du was a little angry, and said embarrassedly: "Sixth master, have you had breakfast?" ”
"No, I'm doing it." The old man grinned, there were only a few teeth left, and there were many wrinkles on his face, but his spirit was good: "If you want to eat, I will prepare one for you." ”
"No, no, we only came here after eating." Boss Du waved his hand.
"I'm definitely hungry all the way." The old man was quite experienced, and said, "You wait, I'll go and ask the old woman to make more food." ”
"Sixth master, don't bother, we brought dry food...... Boss Du hurriedly stopped: "You are busy with yourself, I just brought people to see the ancestral house." ”
"Look at the ancestral house again?" The old man frowned and said, "You look at it every day, aren't you annoying?" ”
"My own home, how can it be annoying." Boss Du smiled slightly, then turned his head and said, "Master Fang, the most mountainous house in front of you is my ancestral house." ”
Fang Yuan turned a deaf ear and just looked at the sea of clouds rolling around him. For a moment, it seemed a little distracted.
"Hey!" Bao Longtu stretched out his hand and said, "Wake up, I've come back to my soul." ”
“…… What's the matter? Fang Yuan's eyes must have come to his senses.
"What are you looking at?" Bao Longtu reminded: "Boss Du called you, but you didn't respond." ”
"Oh, I'm looking at the fog." Fang Yuan said casually: "I wonder why there is so much fog here. ”
"What's so strange." Bao Longtu disagreed: "There is a lot of water, maybe the mountains are full of streams, or lakes, Tianchi or something." When there is more water, the ground is hot, the water evaporates, and clouds and mist are naturally formed. ”
Bao Longtu felt that his speculation was reasonable, but he ushered in Boss Du's rebuttal: "Mr. Bao, you are wrong." ”
"There are no streams and streams in the mountains, let alone lakes and ponds." Boss Du shook his head and said, "Anyway, as far as I know, the only water source within a radius of more than ten miles is a deep pool at the foot of the mountain in our village. ”
"The deep pool is a living eye, it is not icy or dry all year round, and there were many people in the village before, and they had to go down the mountain to carry water every day. Later, with the development of science and technology, I simply asked someone to install a water pump and direct the water to the village, which can be regarded as a solution to the trouble......"
