At the foot of the mountain, there were many innkeepers who came to pull guests to stay, and just when Zhou Xiaolong and they couldn't choose which one to go to, an old man dressed as a mountain man came over from the opposite side.

Gu Lili thought that she was another solicitor, so she pouted and hid behind Zhou Xiaolong, but Professor Cui was really tired, so she asked the old man casually, "Yes, don't you want to find a place to live?" You're here to solicit customers too, right? ”

After hearing this, the old man was very polite, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and scattered them one by one, none of the four of Zhou Xiaolong knew how to smoke, and no one took it.

The good man lit one himself, took off the straw hat he wore on his head, fanned it as a fan, and said, "My family has a farmhouse inn, the price is half cheaper than these hotels, except that it is more remote, but it is also quieter, and if you go to stay, I can give you some cheaper." ”

Professor Cui was not a person who liked to be lively, and when he heard that there could be a quiet place, he wished to leave the place where these people gathered as soon as possible, and as soon as he and Zhou Xiaolong got together, he promised to go over and have a look first.

So, led the way by the old man, the group passed.

Twenty minutes away, we saw a small two-story building, the owners of which were all farmers, took advantage of the wind of tourism, and converted their houses into a small hotel, although not luxurious, but clean enough.

Maybe it's because the location is too remote, except for Zhou Xiaolong and his party, no other tourists have settled here, which is better, but it makes them quiet.

This host is also very hospitable, thinking that there are not many guests on weekdays, looking at these four guests is naturally extraordinarily enthusiastic, and they have to have dinner together.

There are not many owners of this farmhouse, and the old man and his son and daughter-in-law live in it, so a small two-story building seems a little empty.

In the land of Bashu, guests have always been treated like guests, around a large round table, eating some wild mushrooms, farmhouse fried.

Although there are not as many chili peppers on this table as in the restaurant, there is a layer of hot and spicy soup floating there.

This farmhouse meal tastes very good, even Gu Lili, who has never touched chili peppers, is addicted to it, not to mention Zhou Xiaolong and Ouyang Lei.

As for Professor Cui, after three glasses of wine with the old man, the two old men began to call each other brothers and sisters, and talked about their parents' shortcomings.

As soon as you drink too much of this wine, you will naturally talk more.

The old man of this family is named Dai Dagui, and his son is called Dai Xiong, Dai Xiong was a soldier and is now discharged from the army.

Because Dai Xiong is so powerful, people call him Nobita, and then he shouted and shouted, and he became a big bear.

Originally, Dai Xiong, the son of Dai Laohan, came back from the army, and he arranged an official meal in the town.

But this kid is upright, he can't get used to many things, and he has clashed with the leader several times, so he simply quit his errand and helped the family take care of this small farmhouse.

After drinking a few glasses in a row, it was not enjoyable, Professor Cui had to shout to change the big bowl, but he was stopped by Zhou Xiaolong and Gu Lili.

Although this wine is just a fruit wine brewed in the mountains, it is sweet, and the degree is similar to beer, but Professor Cui is too old to drink more.

Professor Cui is also a chatterbox, very capable of talking, plus now drunk dizzy and comfortable, unconsciously, Professor Cui committed an occupational disease, and inevitably began to inquire about some legends or strange things around here.

As soon as they heard Professor Cui say this, Dai Xiong and Dai Laohan were stunned and began to be wary of Professor Cui's gang.

Professor Cui hurriedly clarified his identity, saying that he was not a bad person, he was a university professor, and he came here to investigate folk customs, and finally showed his work card.

When Dai Laohan heard that this old man Cui was still an archaeology professor and an intellectual reader, he couldn't help but have a little more respect, and naturally he had no worries.

Dai Laohan touched his hair that was about to go to the top, and said: "Less than a few, in our Yunqing Mountain, to say that there are no legends, it is naturally impossible, there are many myths and stories since I was a child, I have also read and seen since I was a child, but unfortunately, in the sixties and seventies, many monuments have been destroyed, if you want to find it, I am afraid there is really no trace, however, there is a place, just ......"

Professor Cui was interested and hurriedly asked, "Just what?" Why don't you tell me about it?! ”

I don't want to stop with the old man, "Forget it, you still don't want to go to that place......"

Zhou Xiaolong and Ouyang Lei looked at each other, and Ouyang Lei couldn't help but ask: "Don't say half of the words, you always say it?!" ”

Dai Laohan nodded, "Okay, it's nothing to talk about, I am not a native here, I have lived in a small mountain village more than forty miles away from here for generations, although it is closed, but it is also beautiful, thirty-five years ago, the child Dai Xiong was not born, I first got a daughter, it is the sister of the big bear, the year the big bear was born, his sister and the child and her mother went into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, our people there, generations have been collecting medicine for a living, but there is only one place that never goes, that place is more dangerous, There are always people who go into the mountains to collect medicine and get lost, so they walk into that place, and they can't come back, and the people who go to collect medicine together come back and say that they were led to that place by the ghost, and after that, they never came back......"

Speaking of which, Dai Laohan is already in tears, and he must have remembered the sad past.

Professor Cui handed Dai Laohan a cigarette and motioned him to slow down, so many years have passed, don't be too sad.

Dai Laohan took the cigarette, lit it himself, and took a hard puff before continuing, there is a big mountain ten miles away from their village, and it is dark in the distance, but it is filled with fog all year round.

Before the liberation, life was really unbearable, and there were a few brave medicine pickers who wanted to go into the mountains to find some valuable herbs to eat.

I didn't want to go in, three old hunters, all carrying gunpowder and shotguns, I didn't see anyone come out for seven days, and the people outside were so anxious that they couldn't do anything, the village discussed again and again, and decided to send three more people into the mountains to look for them, and I didn't want to go for another seven days, only the last one to go in.

When everyone saw it, the man was covered with scars, and he only repeated one sentence in his mouth, and within three days, he was dead......

"Repeat this sentence what?!" Zhou Xiaolong and Professor Cui asked Dai Laohan together.

"Inside...... Yes...... Ghost ......," Dai Laohan said with some horror.

"There's a ghost in there? How can there be ghosts?! Gu Lili next to her listened with relish, and suddenly interjected, and her voice was loud, which scared Dai Laohan a lot.

Professor Cui glared at her, causing Gu Lili to stick out her tongue and stop talking with her cheeks.
