Chapter 147: The Old Man Who Talks About the Ancients

"Medium! Middle, Northeast, Northwest! Being interrupted by someone made the director a little upset.

"Huh!" Cao Yue was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "This is not right!" What we saw in the local history is Chezhong Village! ”

The director waved his hand, "That was changed later." It used to be called Chezhong Village, but later the village disliked the name and changed it to Chezhong Village, and the locals are still used to calling it the old name. ”

"When was it changed?"

"More than 40 years ago, didn't I say that I wanted to take the mass line, so I changed the middle to the public."

The director saw that the two of them were still a little flustered, so he slapped his thigh, "Hey! This must be the work of the people in the local chronicle office who do not work solidly. But it's understandable, in that kind of Qingshui Yamen, as long as one million words of data records are completed every year, it is considered excellent. How can you have the spirit to check them one by one below! ”

it! Ran in the wrong place!

The depressed two set off again, this time farther, starting from Huaiyu Town, they had to pass through the city, and then go more than sixty kilometers to the north.

After getting in the car, Cao Yue asked, "Go today or tomorrow?" ”

Lin Rui glanced at the time, it was already three o'clock, and he was about to say that he would go again tomorrow. But as soon as he thought of the people behind the incident in Huayuan Community, he said: "Will the group of people who set up a feng shui array in Huayuan Community keep staring at us?" ”

"Gah!"

Cao Yue parked the car on the side of the road and immediately called the public security bureau to inquire about the follow-up of the case.

Hands-free turned on, loud: "...... Those people are all pseudonyms, and the clues were interrupted after they arrived in Yanjing, and we are still pursuing them, please rest assured, we will definitely ...... this case."

Hanging up the phone, Cao Yue said decisively: "Whether they are staring or not, we can't relax." ”

The car started again and headed towards the town of Tanglin to the north.

There is a river under Tanglin Town, called 'Chezhong River'. The Chezhong River has a long history and finally flows into the Min River.

When they arrived in Tanglin Town, it was already dark, so the two had to find a clean hotel in the town to stay.

As soon as he moved in, Lin Rui received a call from Zhang Huimei.

"Master Lin, I'm so scared alone at night, when are you free to help me see Feng Shui?"

Why did this call?

Lin Rui casually refused this request, this was not because he was hypocritical, but because he couldn't see the feng shui pattern.

After chatting for a few words, Lin Rui heard the sound of water over there, and instantly thought of the bloody scene in his mind.

"What a goblin!" After hanging up the phone, Lin Rui went next door to find Cao Yue.

"Let's go, let's eat."

Cao Yue had already taken a bath, and she was fragrant.

Tanglin Town is quite lively at night, and there are many places that sell supper. The two found a Malatang and solved the problem of dinner casually.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Lin Rui and Cao Yue found the town government.

"Chezhonghe? Less than four kilometers to the west, there are villages on both sides, which is easy to find. ”

Driving a dusty car, the two set off again.

The Chezhong River is not wide, and it is the dry season, so it looks like a small stream.

At this time, it was the leisure time, and the villages on both sides of the Chezhong River were filled with smoke from cooking.

The creek was murmuring, the smoke was faint, and a few bear children were catching fish with nets on the shore.

What a scene of farm life!

However, Lin Rui has already started to work.

……

A morning passed, Lin Rui's eyes were sour, but he still didn't find anything abnormal.

Cao Yue put down the net pocket, and she didn't look at the loach inside, she only felt sore.

Lin Rui looked for it, Cao Yue pulled it, and the two cooperated well. No, there was a group of preschoolers behind him, all waiting for the fish and shrimp they caught.

"No more fishing, no more fishing!" Seeing the two bear children go to the net pocket and take the loach, Lin Rui also picked the child.

"It's really useless, my grandfather can stay on the net for a long time!" The sun was good in the morning, so the kids were wearing shorts and swarthy tops. One of the boys, with a handful of hair on his head, said disdainfully.

Lin Rui was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard this, he asked, "Then how is your grandfather's level of fishing?" ”

The bear child puffed up his chest and said proudly: "My grandfather used to fish for half his life, just like you, my grandfather is better than you with his eyes closed." ”

"Oh!" Cao Yue and Lin Rui exchanged glances, and then took out a piece of chocolate with a smile, "Then can you take us to your house?" We want to learn how to fish! ”

The bear child looked at the chocolate and hesitated for a moment, then sniffed, clasped his hands to his chest, and said arrogantly: "For the sake of your sincerity, then come with me." ”

The village is not large, but the buildings are uneven, some families have built ornate small buildings, and some families live in tiled houses.

The bear child's home is a small three-story building, and it has been looking like it for some time.

I heard that someone was looking for him to learn how to fish, and a tall old man came out of the house, he looked at Lin Rui and Cao Yue in confusion, and felt that these two people didn't look like fishermen!

Lin Rui handed over a cigarette, lit it, and chatted with the old man familiarly.

“…… We are students of the Department of History, and this time we are here to investigate Zhang Xianzhong's footprints, old man, do you have a record or legend here? Lin Rui quietly turned himself and Cao Yue into college students.

The old man lit a cigarette, glanced at the cigarette brand, and then opened the basket.

“…… Zhang Xianzhong once came to our village, and there were people in the village who hid the silver ingots given by Zhang Xianzhong at that time, with the words "Xiwang rewarding merit" on it! ”

Speaking of these histories, the old man was talking, Cao Yue felt that the topic was getting more and more deviated, so he wanted to correct it, but Lin Rui gave her a slightly calm look, and then he himself listened to the old man talk about the ancient times with a smile.

When the old man drank water, Lin Rui asked: "Old man, Zhang Xianzhong came to your village back then?" Didn't go anywhere else? ”

Knock knock! The old man said happily, but his mouth was also dry, and after he drank a few sips of water, he said proudly: "If you ask someone about this, you must not know, according to my grandfather's grandfather, the king of the west back then also went around the mountain." ”

Lin Rui's heart moved, and he asked without changing his face: "Is there a place to call a car in the mountain?" ”

"Yes! ……”

"Go up along the Chezhong River, about more than ten kilometers, there are canyons on both sides, our locals call it 'Little Three Gorges', and one of the gorges is called Chezhong Gorge......"

had lunch at the bear child's house, and before leaving, Lin Rui quietly stuffed some money under the sofa cushion.

The trail below is more difficult, there are no roads in many places, and there is even water to wad.

When he left the village, Lin Rui always felt that something was not quite right behind him, so he glanced back from time to time. (To be continued.) )
