Hongxing walked around the village, trying to find a guide to take them to a place called Tiger Ridge.

Not wanting to alarm the village chief, he rushed over, so he asked them if they were upside down, and said: "In the past few years, I don't know where the news has come from, but it has been said that there is a big tomb hidden in a big mountain near our Guopo Village! What kind of big tomb is there, our ancestors have lived here for generations, and there is really a big tomb, can we not know? But groups of people who have fallen into the bucket have come and gone, and groups of people still keep coming! Come on, we don't have a big tomb here anyway, and these people are all busy working! But ...... I don't know what alarmed, but now the area around Laohuling is so haunted that even the people of our village don't dare to go around there!"

Poplar hurriedly explained that they were all from the archaeological team, and that it was the government department that came to find the tomb openly.

The village chief will be skeptical.

It wasn't until Bai Yang took out the transfer notice with the official seal that the village chief changed his face and said: "It's good if the people from the government are here! Hurry up and make sure if there is a big tomb, if not, let those who are fighting down also die, lest they drill into our mountains all day long and cause some unclean things, which will not only harm them, but also harm us mountain people!"

Poplar hurriedly asked the village chief what was unclean.

The village chief said: "Isn't it just some ghosts? Anyway, a few people from our village went to the area of Laohuling, and when they came back, one fell ill and one went crazy, and two died in the ravine......! If you ask Tiger Ridge, it's not too far from us, but no one dares to go there!"

Bai Yang didn't expect that the people in Guopo Village were also sick and crazy, so he couldn't help but look back at Tie Niu Hongxing, beckoned them to the side, and said: "Have you heard, there are also people in Guopo Village who are dead and crazy, which means that those tomb robbers will end up miserable, not necessarily because of the things in the ancient tomb." ”

Tie Niu was speechless, just looking at the red apricot.

Hong Xing frowned and said, "I understand what you mean, you are afraid that there is no ancient tomb at all, and it is likely that there is a ...... in the Tiger Ridge But you've come here, you can't just go back, can you?"

Of course, Poplar didn't want to go back like this, after all, the money had already been spent, so he was really unwilling to go back home like this.

But he always felt that he had fallen for Hongxing, and it was likely that Hongxing didn't have a map of the tomb in his hand at all, and he just heard about the tomb in this area, so he asked them to come out for this trip.

But what is the purpose of Hongxing's this? just to help Xu Hua earn a thousand yuan?

With Hongxing's hand, it is the bearing of 30,000 yuan, so it shouldn't cost so much spirit for a mere 1,000 yuan, right?

"Do you have a map in your hand?" Poplar simply asked.

"Yes!" Hongxing said with certainty, and took out a piece of white paper from her body and handed it to Poplar, "This is the map drawn by the tomb robber, although it is simple, but it is also very clear!"

Poplar took the folded white paper and looked at it, and found that it was a piece of paper torn from a child's homework book, with the name of a town simply written on it, and then some lines representing the mountains were drawn.

At the end of the line is written the word "Guopo Village", and then some lines extend from Guopo Village, and finally there is an arrow pointing to a triangular pattern, and the word "Tiger Ridge" is written inside the triangle.

Poplar doesn't know whether to be angry or laughing, such a simple picture, it can be said that anyone can draw it casually, and it can not prove that this is painted by the inverted bucket man, let alone that the tiger ridge that the arrow finally points to is that there is a big tomb.

"There's no big tomb written on it! maybe this arrow is just pointing to a few places where they are in danger?"

Poplar had to endure it reluctantly, so that he didn't directly erupt the anger in his heart.

But Hong Xing had already sensed his annoyance, and said: "Anyway, I think this map is the location of the tomb, if you don't believe it, you can go back now, I will continue to move forward with Uncle Xu, and you don't have to pay Uncle Xu." In addition, how much money you spent along the way, I will calculate it for you!"

She turned her face like this, but Poplar had nothing to say.

Tie Niu hurriedly said: "Lao Bai is not such a stingy person, what kind of money will I give you! And we can't go back, we have all come here, at least we have to figure out what is strange about Tiger Ridge!"

As he spoke, he walked back to the village chief and asked how to go to Tiger Ridge.

Hongxing also walked over to the village chief with a cold face, but the moment she spoke to the village chief, her face was full of smiles again.

"Village Chief, you just said that it's not too far to go from here to Tiger Ridge, so can the village chief help us find someone to lead the way? We can pay twenty yuan to invite this person!" she said, with a sweet smile on her face that made it difficult to refuse.

But the village chief shook his head.

"No, no, no, that place is really evil, and few people who go can come back! Don't say that you give twenty yuan, no one dares to go to forty yuan!"

Bai Yang hurriedly walked over and said, "Don't worry, village chief, we just need this person to take us to the vicinity of Laohuling and show us that the mountain is Laohuling, and we don't ask him to send us to the mountain all the time." ”

"That's right!" the village chief looked at the poplar and red apricot, and finally nodded, "Okay, you give me twenty yuan, and I'll help you find someone now......!" Are you going to go now, or are you going to stay in the village for the night and go back early tomorrow morning?"

Bai Yang pondered in his heart and had not yet made a decision, Hongxing seemed to be a little angry, and quickly took out twenty yuan and handed it to the village chief, saying, "Let's go now, anyway, it's still early, and we should be able to arrive in two hours, right?"

"Rush is rushed, but if ...... When you wait there for a while, and make sure that there is no tomb, and then you want to rush back to the village, I am afraid that it will be dark!" said the village chief.

"It's black if it's black, it's a big deal to spend a night in the wild, I think it's also quite interesting!" Hongxing said, suddenly glancing back at the challenged poplar, "Comrade Bai, do you dare to sleep in this big mountain?"

Poplar has been a forest ranger for five years, and he doesn't dare to sleep in the mountains and forests for a night, but he thinks that if there is anything strange about Tiger Ridge, it will be even more difficult to resist in the middle of the night.

So he finally shook his head and said, "Let's wait until tomorrow to go!" After all, we don't know what is strange about Tiger Ridge, and we can leave early tomorrow morning, in case there is no big tomb there, we can leave calmly at dawn!"

Hongxing's lips curled, and she said: "I don't think so, who knows if there is a place for you to spend the night? Besides, if you go tomorrow, if you don't find the tomb, won't it be a waste of Comrade Gao's time?"

Bai Yang let her speak sourly, and went to discuss with the village chief on her own, find a place to spend the night tonight, and then go to Laohuling early tomorrow morning.

The village chief nodded again and again and said, "This comrade is right, when you come to this mountain, everything is still the most important thing!"

As he spoke, he hurried out to help make arrangements.

Bai Yang took another thirty yuan to the village chief, which is considered the catering and accommodation expenses of several people, as for how the village chief divides it, it is the village chief's own business.

That night, I had dinner at the village chief's house, and there were five or six dishes, plus a big bowl of soup.

The five or six dishes are all unique to the mountains, two of which are meat and wild meat, and the rest are dried mushrooms and wild vegetables.

Poplar has been in the old forest for several years, and he is used to eating these wild games and wild vegetables, but the iron ox and red apricots are delicious and delicious.

After eating and staying separately, Hongxing lived in the village chief's house and shared a bed with the village chief's daughter.

In addition, there is a house that is quite spacious, and the largest bed in the house is given to the poplar iron cow to sleep in. Xu Hua went to an old bachelor's house for a night.

Wait until early the next morning, the village chief's wife boiled white porridge, called Baiyang and others to eat together, and the two sons of the village chief sent Baiyang and others to Laohuling.

The village chief sent it to the entrance of the village and repeatedly told his two sons that they couldn't go anymore when they saw Laohuling from afar, and the two sons naturally agreed.

After that, the donkey was still carrying the tools, and Bai Yang and the others followed behind, following the two sons of the village chief.

Because yesterday the village chief was mysterious and refused to mention the matter of Tiger Ridge to Bai Yang and others, Bai Yang mentioned this topic to the village chief's two sons.

After all, the two of them were young and not so taboo, and the eldest son of the village chief said, "Who knows! Anyway, after a few incidents, no one dares to go to Laohuling." The crazy one in the village shouted that there were ghosts and ghosts when he saw people! There was also a sick man who had a high fever and burned like a fool, and he didn't say a word to anyone, and he became a dumb man completely!"

"And how did the other two die?" asked Poplar.

"Didn't they fall into a ravine and fall to their deaths?" said the village chief's son, "The two also went to Laohuling and didn't come back for two days. The two of them were good hunters in the village, and they often hunted in the mountains, and if they hadn't encountered something in Tiger Ridge that scared their guts, they would never have stumbled and fallen into the ravine. ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't say why, Bai Yang had to stop asking, thinking about the salt and glutinous rice he was carrying, and he didn't know if it would work for the evil things in the tomb.

The two sons of the village chief stopped and refused to walk any further, but stretched out their fingers to a big mountain in the distance and said, "That's Tiger Ridge!

Bai Yang and the others opened their eyes and looked into the distance, and sure enough, they saw a big mountain in the distance, which was higher than the other surrounding mountains. Looking at it from afar, it really looks like a tiger lying on the ground and looking up.
