Chapter 225: It's worth the trip
The three of us naturally didn't understand the meaning of the hotel owner's words, and when I wanted to ask clearly, the boss was reluctant to say more, so he waved his hand secretively and said:
"Go straight along the road ahead, there is an intersection less than 100 meters, turn left and walk for another five minutes."
So close!
I can't imagine that this Gaojiatun'er is next to the town.
No matter what the attitude of the hotel owner, at least he told us the location of Gaojiatun'er, I thanked him, and left the hotel with Bai Annie and the fat man, and walked to Gaojiatun'er.
After an intersection, turn left and go straight as the owner said.
Within five minutes of walking, there was a big road.
Our current location is still in the town, and this road should lead to Gaojiatun'er.
After walking about a mile along the road, a village appeared in front of us.
It was pitch black in the village, and we couldn't see it clearly.
In the countryside, I usually go to bed early at night, and there are no street lights in many places, so it's not surprising.
But we saw that around the village, there was a small river.
Because it was summer, it was the flood season, so the moonlight could see that the river was almost over the shore, and the sound of running water could be faintly heard.
I looked around, took a look at this small river, and I have to say, the feng shui of this Gaojiatun'er is really good, surrounded by water, which is equivalent to a moat, a natural barrier.
And this countryside, isn't it just by planting crops for a living, since the crops are grown, the water is the treasure, with this river, the farmers water the crops, naturally do not have to worry.
I said to the fat man:
"Let's go, let's go into the village."
Then we followed the road and entered the village.
At the head of the village, there is a bridge.
After crossing this bridge, it is Gaojiatun'er, and it is also our destination.
The fat man and I walked and let the village go.
But she only cared about moving forward, and did not pay attention, and Bai Annie was gone.
By the time the fat man and I reacted, we had already entered the village.
The fat man and I immediately turned around and found Anne Bai still standing on the bridge, unmoved, staring at the river beneath our feet.
What are you doing, what time is it, if we don't find a place to rest, when all the villagers are asleep, we will really have to sleep on the streets.
Women, it's just trouble.
The fat man and I hurried back to the bridge, and I asked Anne Bai angrily:
"Bai Annie, now is not the time for you to enjoy the scenery, why are you stupid?"
Instead of accosting me, Anne waved her hand at me and told me to shut up.
Oh, I'll go, and ignore my existence.
But I kept my mouth shut.
After a long time, Bai Annie spoke:
"Don't you think there's something wrong with this river?"
Something is wrong?
What's wrong?
It's just a small river, what's all the fuss?
Is Bai Annie overly worried?
But we've been through so much together, and it turns out that Anne Bai never thinks too much.
So the fat man and I didn't dare to be careless, and followed the example of White Anne, and carefully observed the river under our feet.
But after looking at it for a long time, I really didn't find anything wrong.
Bai Annie reminded on the side:
"Voice!"
Sound?
The fat man and I pricked up our ears and heard the murmuring of the river, and by the moonlight, if we had leisure at the moment, then this scene was indeed a rare beauty.
Bai Annie and the fat man were probably speechless when they arrived home, and said in a tone of hatred:
"Don't you feel that the river is too quiet?"
"It's a big night, it's strange if it's not quiet, it's not a waterfall, and there can be a rattling sound."
"I mean both sides of the river!"
On both sides of the river!
After Anne Bai's reminder, I revisited the scene on both sides of the river.
Gradually, I felt that something was wrong.
At this time, it is summer, in the countryside, where there is water, there must be frogs, and there must be frogs, but where are the frogs?
Not a single frog barked.
Frogs can't sleep at night.
And what's even more incredible is that not only are there no frogs, but there are also no grass insects.
Crickets, grasshoppers, none of them!
The banks of the creek were dead silent, without any sound.
That's why the sound of the water is so loud.
I also feel more and more that there is something wrong with this small river.
But I can't find out where the problem is.
But at this moment, the fat man said disapprenously:
"Hey, I thought it was worth the fuss between the two of you, isn't it just that there are no toads calling, let me tell you, the river in my hometown, there are no toads calling, let alone toads calling, not even birds calling, it's like dying. You know why? Because there are people in our village who buy frogs and toads, these people in the countryside are not trying to make money, and they have already caught all the frogs. ”
Thinking about it carefully, what the fat man said also has some truth, maybe it was me and Anne Bai who were too worried.
But Anne Bai said disappreciatively:
"Can't he even catch insects and crickets!"
The fat man stopped talking for a while, there are many people who catch frogs and birds, but it is not necessarily the case when catching insects.
Anne Bai went on to say:
"Don't forget, Gao Yuan drowned in this river."
Bai Annie's words woke up the dreamer, and I suddenly realized.
This river is by no means as simple as it seems.
And we are not here to investigate the river?
Bai Annie glanced at the fat man, and the fat man understood, and closed his eyes at the river.
After a while, the fat man slowly opened his eyes and said:
"It's so strong, so thick that it's all over the river."
I know that the fat man has devoured the ghost pill of the lantern ghost grandfather, and his sense of smell is extraordinary, and he can smell smells that ordinary people can't detect, such as ghost qi and yin qi.
The general flowing river water, called living water, is different from the water in the lake, it travels thousands of miles a day, passes through different places, absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, and gathers the aura of heaven and earth.
Since it is infected with such a strong yin qi, it means that there is something dirty at the bottom of this small river.
As for this dirty thing, I don't know if it's a ghost, it's a monster.
It is precisely because it is so heavy that the creatures flee here, and the common frogs, insects and fish cannot withstand such a strong yin qi.
This also confirms my guess that Gao Yuan's death is definitely not as simple as falling into the water.
It seems that our trip to Gaojiatun'er is destined to be worthwhile.
