Ah Bao told me that the village they were in was called Dayin Village, which belonged to the boundary of Qucheng, and the farthest place he had ever been to was Qucheng.

I was overjoyed after listening to Bao's words, but I didn't expect that I would come to Qucheng by mistake, although this is a rural area, as long as it is in the boundary of Qucheng.

"How far is your village from Qucheng City?" I asked excitedly.

"It's far away, we have underdeveloped traffic here, if you want to get to the city, you have to go out of the road first, the road will have to walk for half a day, after getting out of the road, and then take a car to Ma County, and then take a car to the county to take a car quickly, about an hour's car to Qucheng." Po said.

I gasped in my heart, what kind of deep mountains and old forests did I go to, it took so long to go to the city, and it took several hours to walk out of the village.

This experience made me deeply feel the backwardness of southern Yunnan, and in comparison, the development of Binjiang is really much better.

However, although the economy of southern Yunnan is relatively backward, the scenery is very good, which is for sure, and the air is fresh, which is very suitable for tourism.

I told Bao that we were going to Qucheng, and Bao saw that I was anxious, and wanted to keep me for a few more days, but he didn't say anything after all.

It's just that it's getting late now, it's not suitable to go out of the village, I looked at the time, it's already four or five o'clock, according to Bao said that it will take several hours to walk out of the village and the path, if you leave now, before you get out of the path, it's dark.

It is not suitable to stay outside at night in southern Yunnan, there are many poisons here, not only poisonous insects and beasts, but even wild grasses and trees on the side of the road, which may kill people.

So we stayed at Bao's house, Bao's family was only him and his mother-in-law, Bao is 21 years old this year, not married, and his parents also left early, so there are only Bao and his mother-in-law in the house.

Since the old woman can't speak Chinese, my communication with the old woman is basically translated through Ah Bao, if I hadn't heard Ah Bao say that the old woman is a master of Gu raising, I would never have believed that this kind and kind old woman in front of me is a Gu raiser.

In my impression, those Gu cultivators are all hideous and hateful, or like the old witches in Western movies, but Bao's family completely broke my impression of Gu cultivators.

They are hospitable, and there are no strange rules, they look like ordinary rural people.

If I hadn't seen Ah Bao heal Zhuang Wu's injuries with a black snake today, I would never have believed that these two people were the legendary mysterious Gu cultivators.

After staying overnight, I followed Bao out of the village early the next morning.

This was requested by Po, who was afraid that we would not find the way, so he took us out of the village and came back after sending us to the town.

I always wanted to bring Po back to Binjiang, so when Po offered to take us away, I took the opportunity to ask him if he would be interested in seeing the outside world with me.

Po told me before that the farthest place he went was Qucheng, in fact, I could tell that he was very curious about the outside world.

But when I asked him if he would go out with me, he shook his head a little disappointed, he said that his mother-in-law was the only one in the house, and if he left, there would be no one to take care of her.

I glanced at the gray-haired old woman, maybe she was really a Gu cultivator, but no matter how powerful she was, she was still in her old age, and her rickety back looked as if she could be blown down by a gust of wind.

I didn't say anything more, Po was right, if he left, there would be no one to take care of the old woman.

In fact, I also thought about taking the old woman away, after all, according to Bao's words, the old woman's Gu raising methods seem to be above him, if I can take the old woman out, my safety will undoubtedly have another layer of protection.

But as soon as I said this thought, Ah Bao said in a panic: "Brother Lin, don't bring it up in front of your mother-in-law, my mother-in-law has never let me go out, I used to go to Qucheng secretly, and then after being discovered by my mother-in-law, I used to paralyze me for half a year with Gu, and since that time I have never dared to run out." So it's okay for you to tell me these words, don't let your mother-in-law know. ”

Listening to Bao's words, I was suddenly startled, damn it, is this old woman so ruthless? Ah Bao is also his own grandson, just because Ah Bao went to Qucheng, he was paralyzed for half a year! Is this really a pro-grandchild?

Could it be that the old woman is very taboo about the outside world? Although I can't figure it out, this is someone else's family matter after all, and I don't want to ask.

Under Bao's leadership, we walked through winding paths, all of which were in the mountains, high and low, and there were many forks in the road, and if we didn't have Bao's leadership, we might really be lost.

"Southern Yunnan is already a poor area, and our Dayin Village is a particularly poor place in southern Yunnan, and the reason why it is so poor is because the terrain here is inconvenient for development." Bao seems to have a lot of insights into economic development, he said as he walked.

"Actually, my dream is to build a road to the outside world, and with the road, it will be much easier for the villagers of Dayin Village to go out." Ah Bao said a little excitedly, and then a little frustrated: "But my mother-in-law has not allowed it, and I have no chance to go out." ”

"Bao, don't worry, your dreams will come true." I patted Po on the shoulder, although I don't know why the old woman is so repulsive to the outside world, but I believe that as long as I find the crux of the problem, I will be able to convince the old woman.

It's just that I'm in a hurry to go back to Binjiang now, and I don't have time to care about these things, but I secretly remember in my heart that if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely come to this place again.

After a few hours of trekking, we finally arrived in town.

After arriving in the town, Ah Bao said to me: "Brother Lin, let's leave it alone, I won't send you on the road ahead, there is a car to Ma County in the town, you can just take the car." ”

"Well, I'll come back to you and my mother-in-law when I have time in the future." I patted Po on the shoulder.

After Ah Bao left, Zhuang Wu said: "This Ah Bao and his mother-in-law are not simple, if they can be brought out of the mountain, it will help Brother Xiao a lot." ”

"Why don't I know? However, Bao's mother-in-law doesn't know what the reason is, and she seems to be very repulsive to the outside world, in fact, it is very simple to take Bao away, mainly because of his mother-in-law, if you can't convince his mother-in-law, it's no fun. I smiled helplessly.

"Po's mother-in-law seems to be hiding some secrets."

"Ah Bao and his mother-in-law are not ordinary people, but Ah Bao's mother-in-law is willing to stay in a remote mountain village like Dayin Village to be an ordinary farmer, it would be strange if there was no story." I said.

Although I met Gu cultivators as soon as I arrived in southern Yunnan this time, I also knew that even in southern Yunnan, Gu cultivators were a very mysterious profession, and the number was extremely rare.

Next, Zhuang Wu and I got on the bus to Ma County, and it took about two hours to sit all the way, and we arrived in Ma County.

Starting from the morning, by the time Zhuang Wu and I arrived in Ma County, it was already five or six o'clock in the afternoon.

Because I was in a hurry to go to Qucheng, so as soon as I got off the bus, I arrived at the Maxian bus station non-stop, and I was lucky to catch the last train to Qucheng.

"Haha...... After a long journey all the way, over the mountains and mountains, I finally arrived safely in Qucheng. "Looking back on the experience of the past few days, I was also embarrassed for a while.

"That's right, the experience of the past few days is just like fantasy, think about the wits and courage with Jiang Long in the provincial capital a few days ago, and now we have arrived at the car to Qucheng, it's really like a dream." Zhuang Wu also sighed.

Zhuang Wu and I got on the bus to Qucheng, and I was still glad that I was lucky today, just to catch the last train, but at this time I didn't know that sometimes good luck is often accompanied by bad luck.

This time was good luck for me, but when I arrived in Qucheng, I didn't know that there was a disaster waiting for me there, and if I had taken the car to Qucheng tomorrow, maybe things would have been different.
