116. Mountain Village
116, Wang Pengyu's talisman in the mountain village can at least maintain the effectiveness of three months, and now more than two months have passed, for insurance, Wang Pengyu still gave them a talisman.
The difference between the talisman and the magic weapon is this, not only is the effect not as good as the magic weapon, but it will not last as long as the magic weapon, usually the magic weapon can maintain the mana for hundreds of years even if it has not been cultivated by human sacrifice, and some high-grade ones can remain unchanged for hundreds of years, and even automatically cultivate and strengthen themselves.
Wang Pengyu asked the specific name of the place and drove off.
SX is the land of Sanqin, adjacent to Henan, but these two provinces are the land of mountains and rivers, a Yellow River will divide many places, the road is not easy to walk, Wang Pengyu went to SX Province for the first time, entered the Qinling Mountains, and it took more than a day to go around the map to Conglin County, where the small mountain village said by Ma's father.
The development of most inland areas is far behind the coastal areas, Wang Pengyu arrived here from Lin County, only to find that there are undulating hills and mountains everywhere, the mountain road is extremely difficult to walk, thanks to the Land Rover surname can be good, in front of a town full of oil, otherwise as early as halfway to break down or lack of oil to die.
Many of the small mountain villages on both sides of the mountain road do not even have telephone poles, there is no electricity, it is dark at night, Wang Pengyu's mobile phone has no signal, and he doesn't know where to go around the mountain road at night, this hellish place can't be found on the map at all, I really don't know why Ma Xiaoyan's parents came here to buy medicinal materials.
Even if the price is lower than the outside, the back and forth wear and tear and travel expenses alone are not a small amount.
From time to time, Wang Pengyu met some pedestrians on the mountain road, or farmers and villagers on bicycles, but they were full of local dialects, Wang Pengyu could not understand them, and the other party could not speak Mandarin, and he could only see walking.
After walking a few kilometers further, I finally saw a boy and a woman walking out of the side of the mountain road, apparently about to go to school. Students should be able to speak Mandarin, no matter how bad it is, go to the school with them, find the teachers of the school, and always communicate with them, asking them what kind of place this is, and where is Wugou Village, where Ma's father met Wutongshen.
He stopped the car and quickened his pace to catch up with the two children who were walking forward. The eldest of these two children is estimated to be about ten years old, and the younger girl is ** years old, her face is red and often blown by the wind and sand, and she has a lot of cracks, carrying a big schoolbag and two iron bowls in her hands, and she is walking barefoot on the gravel and rugged mountain road, Wang Pengyu frowned slightly and said, "Wait a minute, children." Can you ask what this place is? β
The older boy immediately protected the little girl behind him, looked at Wang Pengyu vigilantly, spoke Mandarin not very standard, and his voice rarely had the vigilance of an adult: "This is Sanhe Village, who are you?" β
The children of the poor are in charge of the house at an early age, and the children of the ages of ten have already suffered a lot.
Wang Pengyu smiled as kindly as he could: "You don't have to be afraid, I'm not a bad person." Where is the village of Trois-RiviΓ¨res? Is this a jungle county? β
The boy saw that Wang Pengyu's face was honest and did not look like a bad person, so he nodded and said, "This is Conglin County." However, the county seat is far from here, and it takes two days to get there. β
Wang Pengyu frowned, walked for two days, afraid that there were fifty or sixty miles away, he didn't know the road, this mountain road was very branched, and he didn't know where to go, so he had to ask again: "Do you know where Wugou Village is?" β
The boy shook his head and said, "I don't know." β
The girl hiding behind the boy suddenly said timidly: "I have heard Teacher Liu talk about this village. β
Wang Pengyu was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Children, where is your school, why don't I take you back to school?" β
The little girl looked at the Land Rover behind Wang Pengyu, and looked at the boy with a look of hope in her eyes, but the boy shook his head: "My father and mother said that you can't talk to strangers casually, and you can't get into strangers' cars, we can walk back to school." β
Wang Pengyu smiled, and then grabbed it, and picked up the hundreds of pounds of stones next to him with one hand, and said with a smile: "You see that I have so much strength, I don't have to talk so much to you if I really want to catch you and kidnap you, right?" I just thought of your school to ask for directions, but I don't know where the school is, can you give directions to the big brother? β
The boy thought sideways for a while, in the child's simple consciousness, great strength means strength, and seeing his sister's expectant gaze, he gritted his teeth and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll show you the way, you take us to school." β
After getting into the car, the boy and the girl sat in the passenger seat, and the two big schoolbags and iron rice bowls were put in the back seat, Wang Pengyu said with a smile: "What are your names?" β
The boy hesitated for a moment, and the girl preemptively said: "My name is Yingzi, and my brother's name is Tiedan." β
After speaking, the girl looked at everything in the car curiously, and asked crisply: "Big brother, this car costs a lot of money, right?" A-Niang said that the drivers are rich people in the provincial capital, and she also said that when I reach the age of ten, I will buy me and my brother a beautiful bicycle, and my brother will be able to take me back to school every day without having to walk. β
Wang Pengyu smiled and said, "Little sister, when you get to school, the big brother will give you a beautiful bicycle." β
The girl looked at Wang Pengyu with wide eyes: "Really? A-Niang said that a bicycle costs 200 yuan? Selling a pig is not enough money to buy. β
Wang Pengyu sighed in his heart, thinking that he could cultivate casually or arrange the magic circle for tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands at a time, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and said with a serious face: "It's true, I don't lie to you." β
The boy suddenly said loudly, "Sister! Have you forgotten that your father said that you can't just ask for people's things? We can't ask for your car. β
The second half of his sentence was said to Wang Pengyu.
The girl bit her little lip and stopped talking.
Wang Pengyu shook his head: "It's not just asking for other people's things, you show me the way, it's very important to me, this bike is your reward." β
After speaking, he took out two hundred-yuan bills in the storage box on the car, handed them to the girl, and said with a smile: "Big brother doesn't know where to buy a bicycle, you take these two hundred yuan, go back to your mother, and let your mother help you buy a bicycle in the future." β
The girl thought about it for a while, and still took Wang Pengyu's money, it seemed that a beautiful bicycle was very tempting for her, but then handed the money to her brother.
After walking for about half an hour, the landscape in front of Wang Pengyu opened up, and on a loess slope, there were several low and dilapidated small bungalows, and there was a loess rammed wall outside, about one meter high, and the boy pointed to the bungalows and said happily: "The school has arrived." β
Wang Pengyu couldn't help asking, "This is your school?" It's a long way to your village, how long does it take to walk? β
The boy thought for a moment: "We get up at five in the morning, we can go to school at eight o'clock, and if we finish class at four o'clock in the afternoon, we can get home at seven o'clock." β
Wang Pengyu didn't speak anymore and drove the car to the front of the school.
Before Wang Pengyu arrived at the school gate, many children were attracted to watch and had to stop the car.
When Yingzi and Tie Dan got out of the car, they immediately attracted questions and exclamations from the children, asking them how they had a car to send them to school.
Wang Pengyu looked at the onlookers, the eldest was thirteen or fourteen years old, and the younger one was about the same as Yingzi, and when he asked where Teacher Liu was, one of the older girls said quickly: "Teacher Liu went to Wugou Village." Chunmei's family didn't give her school, and asked her to get married, Teacher Liu said that Chunmei was not yet an adult and couldn't get married, so she asked her parents to let Chunmei come back to study. β
really stepped on the iron shoes and found nowhere to go, and it didn't take much effort to get them, Wang Pengyu hurriedly said: "Do you know where Wugou Village is?" Can you take me there. β
The girl shook her head: "I'm from Wugou Village, but I have to walk for an hour to get home, and I have to go to class when Teacher Liu comes back." β
Wang Pengyu asked again: "Are there any other teachers in the school?" β
The girl shook her head and said, "No, the school is just Teacher Liu." Everyone was waiting for him to come back. β
Wang Pengyu secretly thought that it was no wonder that as soon as he drove over, he attracted such a large number of children, who were all waiting for Teacher Liu to come back at the door.
"You can't go to class now, why don't you take me to Wugou Village, and I can help you pick up Teacher Liu back."
Another boy who was about thirteen or fourteen years old and had a more mature appearance suddenly said, "I'll take you to Teacher Liu, I know where Wugou Village is." β
Then he turned to the thirty or so children and said, "Don't go around, go back to the classroom at eight o'clock and read well." Chunhe, you have to watch them and don't let them fight and make noise.
It seems that he should be the "class leader" of the school, these thirty or forty children, I don't know whether to call a class or a school.
Na Chunhe said that she could walk for an hour to reach Wugou Village, but she said that the walk was to cross the gaps in the narrow mountain road, climb the single-plank bridge, and so on. Wang Pengyu drove the off-road vehicle around and around even longer than carrying the two of them to school, and finally bypassed a few mountains, only to find that some earth and stone houses appeared in a narrow valley, and Jiang Yuanlai, the big boy who led the way, said: "Where is Wugou Village." β
"However, there are five ravines near Wugou Village, and cars can't get through, so they can only walk." He added.
Wang Pengyu nodded, got out of the off-road vehicle with Jiang Yuanlai, and walked along the mountain road towards Wugou Village.
Sure enough, without going out of two hundred meters, I turned a mountain col, and a large ravine five or six meters wide appeared in front of me, with a rushing stream rushing below, and a rickety chain bridge connected to it, and several wooden planks were missing from the planks laid on the bridge, as if it would fall down at any time.
Jiang Yuanlai looked back at Wang Pengyu and said, "Remember to hold on to the iron lock when you go over, otherwise you won't be able to save yourself if you fall." β
After saying that, he took the lead on the chain bridge.
