Mencius? There is such a sobering saying in the "Lilou Chapter and Sentences": If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a square circle.

Rules are order.

Only by abiding by the rules can order be guaranteed. An old hunter like Chen Bengui also has rules for doing things, and it's okay if you want to hire him, but you have to abide by the way that others have drawn out.

What does this Tao refer to? is the threshold, the threshold for him Chen Bengui to support his family. You can't say that any of you want him to do things in vain, right? Doesn't that mean that the threshold is very low, and anyone can step on it. In fact, when it comes to the threshold, Chen Bengui's asking price is really not low.

"If you want to hire me to take you into the Valley of Mass Graves, the rules are very simple, first I want money, and it will take two days to get through the Valley of Mass Graves at the earliest, the valley is not very deep, but very dangerous. Only I know what roads are safe, so for your safety, I need a guide fee of 1,000 yuan a day. This money is settled in advance, one day a day, we count 1000 if you go in for one day, and 3000 for three days. This is my first rule, if you agree with us, we will continue to say, if you disagree, you will pull down. Chen Bengui twisted his yellowed fingers, and his eyes were full of cunning when he looked at Ji Nian.

1000 guide fee per day?

Ji Nian couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly in his heart, this price is really not low. You must know that a casual tour group outside, as long as it is all the scenic spots in Zhonghai City, even if it includes accommodation, it will not cost these money. But in this poor ravine, he dared to ask for this price in one day, Chen Bengui was really dark enough.

This is because I am easy to talk, so I want to be stabbed?

Ji Nian didn't say that he wouldn't give money, but this money should be given in a clear place, and he couldn't say that you Chen Bengui would kill me, but it was another way to say it to others. So he turned his head to look at Liu Guangli, who shrugged helplessly at him, and said with a wry smile: "Ji Nian, Lao Chen didn't fool you, his rules are like this." For everyone, it has never changed. In the past, there were people who came here to ask him to be a guide, and they were reluctant to take out the money, but they met with accidents in the Valley of Mass Graves. Although it is said that the person did not die, he was wounded. After coming out, it costs more than this price just to see a doctor. ”

"Take money to buy your life." Chen Bengui lazily said four words, but it was unusually incisive, which means that two choices were given, money or death?

Do you want to buy your life with money?

Ji Nian didn't dwell on this question anymore when his eyes turned, in fact, he just felt that the money was a bit outrageous, but he didn't think about it. He had to enter the Valley of Mass Graves, and the restlessness of the vitality in his palm meant that there were treasures inside. For the sake of the baby, don't say it's 1000, even if it's bankrupt, he won't hesitate.

"Deal, let's talk about your second rule." Ji Nian just wanted to see if he had been caught, and after confirming it, he agreed without hesitation.

Chen Bengui glanced at Ji Nian in some surprise, he didn't expect this young man to make such a quick move, isn't it some rich second generation? No, if it were the rich second generation, they wouldn't want to come to the Valley of Mass Graves to wander around. But none of this matters, as long as he has money to make.

"The second rule is to be absolutely obedient, don't think that I am restraining you by something, I am doing this for your good. The Valley of Mass Graves is very evil, and many places cannot be touched, as long as you touch it, you will be in trouble. Since we are a temporary team, we have to think about everyone's safety. So it's best to say that you can go where I let you go, you can do what you want to do, and you can turn a blind eye to the rest. If there is really trouble, don't worry, since I collect money, I will definitely rush to be the first. Chen Bengui said frankly.

That sounds like a pretty honest one.

After Ji Nian pondered for a while, he said seriously: "As long as there is a dangerous place, I will definitely not touch it, but I said it in front, since I want to go to the Valley of Troubled Graves, I must have my considerations." If there are places you really have to go to and you don't want to go there, I want to do what I want. Of course you can leave first, and I won't blame you. Lao Chen, this is my only request, and I hope you can understand, after all, I didn't spend money to go to the Valley of Troubled Graves to play. ”

"This..."

Chen Bengui's face was gloomy, and Liu Guangli hurriedly said: "Old Chen, it's almost enough, Ji Nian will just say this, he won't necessarily go to that kind of dangerous place." Besides, if you really want to go, he said that he will be responsible, what else do you need to care about? ”

"Okay, that's it." Chen Bengui gritted his teeth and recognized this.

Everything must be discussed, and you can't just say what you say on the spot.

"No other rules?"

After explaining the words in advance, Ji Nian's mood also became a lot easier, this is called ugly words in front, and the province will be entangled endlessly.

"Nope." Chen Bengui spread his hands and said.

"Then I want to know, what I found in the Valley of Mass Graves, I don't need to give you any more money or that you have a share, right?" Ji Nian asked.

"Haha."

Chen Bengui looked at Ji Nian like an alien and laughed: "Don't worry about this, if you really find something in the Valley of Mass Graves, don't give it to me." I'll never touch anything there, and if you can hunt prey, like pheasants and hares, I'll help you get it out. These are all free of charge, do it for you for free! ”

"That's it, when are we leaving?" Ji Nian counted out 1,000 yuan from the mountaineering bag he was carrying, handed it over and asked.

"Right now, wait for me to get ready, just a while." Chen Bengui's eyes lit up, he took the 1,000 yuan, counted it in front of Ji Nian, and then turned around and walked into the room.

When there were only two people left, Liu Guangli was obviously a little embarrassed.

"Ji Nian, this matter..."

"Brother Liu, I know this has nothing to do with you, it's good, explain everything clearly before you travel, so that you can save trouble when you get inside. But Brother Liu, are you sure you want to go with us? Is there a good chance of danger inside? Ji Nian changed the subject.

"Go, of course I'm going with you, I can't let you go on an adventure alone." Liu Guangli raised his head and said.

"Okay." Ji Nian smiled slightly.

Five minutes later, the three of them and one dog began to advance towards the Valley of Mass Graves, the dog was fed by Chen Bengui, and it was an inconspicuous-looking earth dog. But in his words, don't underestimate this earth dog, this is what he took great pains to get, it is the mountain guard dog of Dameng Mountain, and it is a dog with spirituality.

Regarding Chen Bengui's words, Ji Nian was too lazy to pay attention to them. Although he said that he has no research on dogs, he can't just fool people with this word, right?

Mountain Dogs? Is there such a thing?

After walking from Liujiagou for twenty minutes, I came to the outside of the Valley of Mass Graves, which was different from the flat road I had just walked, standing here and looking inside, I couldn't find any road at all, and there were dense thorn bushes as far as the eye could see, and the weeds that were more than one person tall were swaying in the wind.

In this hot summer day, you don't even have to go inside to be dizzy from the oncoming damp and cold mildew. Coupled with the steep peaks on both sides, it invisibly makes people feel depressed, as if they are pressed against their chests by a pile of stones.

Ji Nian also knew that it was unrealistic to want to find the baby now, and he was mentally prepared to go deeper.

As the earth dog named Ah Huang barked wildly, countless sparrows flew up in the weeds. It's a sparrow, but if it's a crow, it will make the atmosphere even more terrifying. Ah Huang didn't seem to be afraid of this place, and ran around like a happy one.

"Lao Chen, I heard that people from nearby villages used to be buried here when they died, does that mean that there was a road in the valley of mass graves in the past? At least it won't be as cluttered as it is now, right? Ji Nian asked casually.

"You've heard a lot, it's Liu Guangli who sued you, right?" After Chen Bengui took a puff of cigarettes, he rolled up the cigarette pouch and put it away, looked at the Valley of Troubled Graves and said with a faint look in his eyes: "That was all in the past, at that time, the dead would be buried here, but then no one would come, you have never seen that kind of scene at that time, the ground is full of white bones, I have seen it with my own eyes, it is really scary." Who doesn't want their own family to die and be buried here, and be neighbors with those fierce gods, right? ”

"Besides, since the rain can wash out the bones of those people, and can also wash away the graves of their ancestors, and finally bury them here, but they can't even turn a blind eye to death, who will use this place as a cemetery? You don't believe it, and you might see a few bones when you go in. Remember, from now on, you can't use fireworks anymore, I don't smoke, and neither can you, there are a lot of weeds on this road, just pass this section. Don't get in trouble because you smoke. ”

"Understood." Ji Nian and Liu Guangli nodded in response.

"Let's go, follow me, don't lose it. If you get lost in this place, not even I can find you. ”

After Chen Bengui finished speaking, he raised the burning stick in his hand, pulled away the weeds in front of him and walked in. Ji Nian and the two of them followed, and they were surprised to find that the road that they couldn't see had miraculously appeared, and they were moving along a sheep's intestine path.

rushed to this, Ji Nian admired Chen Bengui's five-body throw. No wonder people ask for 1000, if you change it to yourself, you may not be able to find a way into the valley if you wander around here for a long time.

"Wangwang."

The only thing that echoed in the empty and gloomy valley was Ah Huang's barking dogs, and Ji Nian and they kept silent and moved forward. It's not that you don't want to talk, but when you're in the grass, you can't help but shut up. After walking forward like this for about fifteen minutes, the thorns and weeds around me began to become fewer and shorter.

Chen Bengui's tense nerves slowly relaxed, and after taking out the cigarette pouch, he said with a smile: "We have walked through that dense flammable area, we can finally rest, see?" As long as you turn the corner, you can see a lake, and we call him Drinking Sheep Lake. ”

Saying that, Chen Bengui looked up at the sun, and said with a pout: "It's almost noon, let's go to Yinyang Lake to eat something and then go forward, Ji Nian, you can also go around, it's safe there, and you won't encounter any danger." ”

"Okay."

The three of them and a dog began to walk towards the Drinking Sheep Lake.

As soon as they turned the corner, two green eyes disappeared from the weeds next to the mountain wall.
