Chapter 67: Find a guide
It's just a mountain, so where can it be dangerous?
We drove all morning to the mountain, not the mountain, of course, but a small town at the foot of the mountain, but it didn't look high, and from a distance, it was foggy, like a stone mountain, and it didn't look like a dense vegetation at all.
We wanted to drive directly up the mountain, but when we got to the bottom of the mountain, we found that it was a barren mountain, and there was no way up the mountain.
I used to hear the old man say that there was no road in this world, and the more people walked, there was a road. The meaning of this sentence is that the road is trodden by man.
However, everywhere in this mountain is a pile of weeds, and the growth posture is very fierce, and they have grown more than half a person tall, as long as I lie down, Li Qing will not be able to find me.
Li Qing grew strong, stretched out his hand to pull the weeds, let me follow him, and he wanted to open a way out by himself.
I don't think so. This mountain looks small from the outside, but at the foot of the mountain I suddenly found that what we just saw was the tip of the iceberg, according to this look, I am afraid that this is not a mountain, but a group of mountains, among which there are also mountain cols are not necessarily, so rashly enter the mountain, it is very likely that there will be no return.
I finally persuaded Li Qing, and we drove back to the town. It's not a developed town, the road is still made of concrete, we are the only car on the whole road, and as soon as we see us, everyone around us gathers around. However, it seems that they don't care about the luxury car we drive, but simply because we drive it......
finally took advantage of the power of the dreamer to come out of the prestige once, but I met such an illiterate group of people......
I rolled down the window, poked my head out, and almost hit a swarthy old man in the face, the old man was not afraid of life, and asked me with a smile on his face: "Little boy, what are you doing here?" Did you find any treasure in our place? ”
The old man spoke with a strong accent, and I said to myself, this place is not half a day's journey from where we came, why is there such a big difference in language?
Li Qing said that this place is all mountains, the transportation is not convenient, and the language is naturally different.
I had to tell the old man patiently, I said that we want to go up the mountain to see, is there a local can be a guide for us, show the way?
But when the old man heard this, his face changed, and he shook his hand at us, and his face was also full of horror: "I can't go, I can't go, I can't go to that mountain......"
Li Qing and I glanced at each other, Li Qing immediately reacted, opened the box in front of me, I took out two hundred yuan from it, handed it to the old man, and said: "Old man, you are old, we are not difficult for you, so let's find us a guide to find the way, the two hundred yuan is yours!" ”
When the old man saw the money, his eyes were about to fall out, and he reached out to take it, but after hearing my words clearly, the hand that had just touched the money seemed to touch a hot sweet potato, and he suddenly withdrew it, and shook his head violently: "I have to ...... The mountain cannot be ......."
As he spoke, the old man stepped back, and after a while he squeezed out of the crowd and left.
I'm wondering, my heart shows that this mountain is in front of them, someone must have entered it, and this is Shennong Mountain, and there are many herbs in it, how can no one go in to collect medicine? I thought to myself, maybe the old man was old and his mind was not clear, so I simply got out of the car, drew three more yuan, raised it above my head, and asked: "Fathers and fellow villagers, if any of you are willing to take us into the mountain, this money is his, of course, this is just a deposit, and we can give you three times after we come out!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a few women who were watching the excitement dispersed, and said in half-native hometown dialect as they walked: "Oh, it's a terrible money, I don't have to earn it, I don't have to earn it, I'm afraid I have a life to make money and I don't have to spend it......"
In less than five minutes, there were fewer than a few people left in the crowd that had gathered together like gorillas. I wondered even more, could it be that the mountain really responded to its name and turned into a ghost mountain?
Later, there were only three people left around us, a big man with a beard that climbed all the way to his temples, and a fierce face, but he looked sturdy. There was also a thin man, like a monkey, whose clothes wore on his body as if he had a fat robe. There was also an old lady, with her back bent, and the little thin man supported her, probably because her legs and feet were not good, and she didn't have time to go.
So I took the initiative to ask the big man, I said, you left to take us into the mountains? We're from the city, as long as you're willing to take us in, money isn't a problem.
After saying this, I heard Li Qing gasp in the car and said, "This is all the money I paid in advance, Master Meng hasn't given me the money yet, you save me some flowers!" ”
In fact, I regretted it just after I finished speaking, for fear that he would ask for a sky-high price.
However, before the big man could speak, the little thin man behind him spoke, he let go of the old lady and walked over, and snorted at us, with a flattering smile on his face: "Second master, it's not early today, Akui can take you up the mountain, but it's not good to go in late, why don't you go to our place for a night first?" We promise to eat and drink well, and we will serve you well! ”
Only then did I realize that these three were originally a family, and they clearly wanted to make our money!
Li Qing poked his head out, his face was displeased, and he asked the little thin man how much his accommodation was, and the little thin man stretched out a finger, just laughing, not speaking.
I calculated, a hundred yuan a night, two people, compared to the money spent tomorrow to go into the mountain to find a guide, it is simply sesame seeds and watermelon, and I want to nod and clap at random.
But Li Qing pulled me violently, gave me a look, and then asked, "One hundred yuan for one person or two people?" A hundred dollars a night? Is eating included? ”
The corners of my mouth twitched, and I said that it was okay to bring someone out, otherwise I would have let this person die.
Sure enough, the little thin man shook his head and said, "Master, are you kidding me?" Look at us here, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is not a cheap place at first glance! 100 yuan per person, wine and food are counted separately! ”
I didn't expect this kid to be waiting for me here, and if I had just nodded my head, I would have to let him die. Then, it was Li Qing who began to bargain with this little man for a long time.
