Chapter 469: Seeking Immortals

Lin Tao drove the car to the small hotel designated by the third child.

This hotel is at the foot of Huashan, but it is not on the main road, so it seems a little remote.

After the car drove to the door of the small hotel and stopped, the two got out of the car with their luggage on their backs and walked towards the small hotel.

The third smiled and led the way in front, and after the two entered the hotel, the third child shouted: "Boss, the guest is here, come out to pick up the guest!" ”

"Here we go!"

A shrill voice came from the back room, and then a middle-aged man like a telephone pole trotted out, and when he saw the third brother, he was stunned at first, and then said in surprise: "Third brother? ”

Zhao Laosan smiled and said, "Mouse, how are you doing?" ”

"Hehe, thanks to the third brother, I won't starve to death for the time being!"

Lin Tao saw that the two were chatting enthusiastically, and then realized that the two knew each other.

After Zhao Laosan chatted with the man nicknamed 'Mouse' for a few words, he introduced Lin Tao to 'Mouse' and said, "This is Mr. Lin, my ...... My boss! ”

The 'mouse' greeted Lin Tao warmly, and then said mysteriously: "Do you have any activities again?" ”

Zhao Laosan glanced at the 'mouse' angrily and said, "The rules of the rivers and lakes, you don't understand, right?!" ”

The mouse grinned and said, "Well, I don't gossip, but third brother, when the time comes, you will get good things, I don't want good things, can you leave me some residues?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, let's talk about it then, hurry up and prepare two rooms for me and Mr. Lin."

"Cheng, I'll take you to the room on the second floor."

Under the leadership of the 'mouse', Lin Tao and Zhao Laosan went to the guest room on the second floor.

Lin Tao casually glanced at the environment of the guest room, which could only be described as bad.

The size of each room is very small, only one bed and a small square table, and the bed is very messy, the walls of the room are black, and those who don't know think they have entered a refugee camp.

Lin Tao glanced at the environment of the room twice, frowned, and said unhappily, "Are there any other rooms that are better?" ”

The 'mouse' smiled embarrassedly: "Mr. Lin, this room is already the best, and the others are even worse, why don't you take a look?" ”

Lin Tao waved his hand very depressedly and said, "Forget it, it's going to be one night." ”

Zhao Laosan echoed: "The environment here is really bad, Mr. Lin, you will just take a moment, since you have come out, you will definitely not be able to sleep as comfortably as at home." ”

At this time, it was already half past six in the evening, and after the two put their luggage into the room, Zhao Laosan asked the 'mouse': "Do you have anything to eat at night?" Get me and Mr. Lin something to eat. ”

The mouse grinned and said, "You guys came at the right time, I just got a few catties of wild boar meat from a seller selling mountain goods, and I am living in the pot, why don't you eat some together?" ”

Zhao Laosan looked at Lin Tao and asked what Lin Tao meant.

Because Lin Tao is not familiar with the 'rat' and Zhao Laosan, he will inevitably have a trace of vigilance in his heart, but he is not afraid that the two will conspire to kill him.

First of all, Zhao Laosan thought that he had been poisoned by himself, so he definitely didn't dare to harm himself, and secondly, Lin Tao's special physique was already invulnerable, and it was impossible for them to poison themselves if they wanted to.

Thinking about this, Lin Tao nodded and said, "Just deal with it casually." ”

The third child smiled: "It's not just a casual deal, after you eat the wild boar hot pot I made, you will definitely feel that it is delicious in the world." ”

Lin Tao stared at the rat and understood why Zhao Laosan called the owner of this small hotel 'mouse', this boss did have a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes.

At night, it is particularly cold at the foot of Huashan Mountain, especially in November, when the temperature drops suddenly, and you will feel cold without a jacket.

The three of them sat by the fire in the house, boiling wild boar hot pot and drinking low-quality liquor.

The three of them raised their glasses and took a sip of wine, Lin Tao frowned when he drank it, then glanced at Zhao Laosan and the mouse, and asked tentatively, "How did you meet?" ”

After all, Zhao Laosan is an old fritter who has been running the rivers and lakes for many years, and he heard the meaning of Lin Tao's words as soon as he heard it, so he explained with a smile: "In fact, in the past ten years, I have been to the depths of Huashan no less than seven or eight times, and every time I went to Huashan, I lived in this small hotel. ”

The mouse took a sip of wine, smashed his mouth very happily, and then smiled: "The third brother is also a cheerful person, every time he comes out of the mountain, he will give me a small object to play with, and I am willing to make friends like the third brother." ”

Lin Tao listened to the words of the two and nodded thoughtfully.

At the end of this topic, Zhao Laosan took the initiative to touch the wine glass with the mouse, and then asked: "Mouse, have there been other tomb robbers entering the mountain recently?" ”

"It's really not there recently, isn't it getting colder, the conditions are too difficult after entering the mountain, and it's rainy, it's easy to have an accident, so I won't choose this time to go in."

Zhao Laosan nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Is there anything unusual in the mountain recently?" ”

"Strange?" The mouse looked at Zhao Laosan suspiciously, "What do you mean by the strangeness?" ”

Zhao Laosan said: "Is there any strange sound or strange light in the mountain?" ”

"Strange sounds...... Strange ......" The mouse suddenly patted his head and said loudly: "There really is!" ”

Lin Tao and Zhao Laosan stared at the mouse at the same time.

The rat leaned closer to the two of them and whispered, "I think I heard a strange sound the other day......

"What sound?" Lin Tao couldn't wait to ask.

The mouse frowned and said, "I really can't say this, it's like the sound of a phoenix and the sound of a tiger's tiger roar, it's quite strange, it doesn't move after seven or eight sounds." ”

After a pause, the mouse continued: "There are very few tigers in this Huashan now, and even if there are, they are in the deep mountains, and it is impossible for me to hear the tiger's cry at the foot of the mountain, and I hear more than one animal sound, anyway, it's quite strange, I can't tell what the cry is......"

Listening to the mouse's words, Lin Tao and Zhao Laosan glanced at each other, and then fell into deep thought.

The mouse was curious: "What's the matter, do you know something?" ”

Zhao Laosan glanced at the mouse without changing his face, and said, "What do we know, we still need to ask you?" ”

The mouse laughed dryly, then raised his glass and said, "Drink and drink, and try the wild boar hot pot I made......

After Lin Tao took a sip of wine, he picked up a piece of wild boar meat from the hot pot and put it in his mouth and chewed it, not to mention that this mouse is not good-looking, and his cooking level is not bad.

Although a pot of vegetables was stewed by him, the taste was really good, and the wild boar meat was chewy and full of fragrance.

Lin Tao ate a piece and nodded, and exclaimed: "The dishes made by Brother Mouse are really delicious!" ”

The mouse smiled proudly and said, "I didn't lie to you, I can eat as much as I like......

Lin Tao put another piece of wild boar meat in his mouth, and chatted while eating: "How long has Brother Rat been opening a shop here?" ”

The mouse ate a mouthful of food, his expression looked a little dazed, he thought about it, smashed his mouth and said, "I guess it's been more than thirty years." ”

Lin Tao was taken aback and said, "You look like you're only thirty or forty years old, why have you opened a shop here for more than thirty years?" ”

The mouse smiled: "I'm not afraid of you laughing, my grandfather and my father have lived at the foot of this mountain all their lives, I was born here, when I was almost ten years old, my father built this small hotel now, and it has been more than thirty years......"

"You've lived here for so many years, have you ever heard your grandfather or your father tell you a secret story about Huashan?" Lin Tao asked tentatively.

The mouse said: "When it comes to the story of Huashan, there are really a lot of legends. ”

Lin Tao hurriedly said: "Is there a story about immortals?" ”

"That's true, I heard my father say it...... About fifty years ago, my grandfather saw an immortal in the deep mountains of Huashan......"

"Immortals?"

Zhao Laosan's eyes widened, and he quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, and said, "You're not joking, are you?" ”

The mouse shook his head and said, "This is what my father said to me, after saying that when my grandfather used to collect medicine in the mountains, it rained heavily in the mountains, so he took refuge in the mountains, and in the process of hiding from the rain, he saw that there were immortals flying in the mountains......

"Could it be a hallucination?" Zhao Laosan asked again.

The mouse smiled: "How is it possible, although my grandfather was not young more than fifty years ago, he was not old enough to be dizzy, and it would definitely not be an illusion!" ”

Lin Tao smiled and asked the mouse with deep meaning, "Does the mouse brother think that there are immortals in this world?" ”

The mouse burped and said in a trance: "I have lived at the foot of this Huashan for almost half my life, to be honest, I am in awe of this Huashan, to say that it is now a modern society, and feudal superstition should be broken, but sometimes there are some things you have to believe, at least, I think that there are real immortals in this world, and there are immortals in this Huashan, as for whether there are immortals now, it is not known." ”

After a pause, the mouse asked Lin Tao, "Does Mr. Lin think there are immortals in this world?" ”

Lin Tao smiled: "This is also what I am more curious about, so I want to prove it with practical actions." ”

"Oh?" The mouse smiled: "You shouldn't have come to Huashan to look for immortals this time, right?" ”

"I said yes, do you believe it?"

"Haha, don't be funny, although I'm uneducated, I'm not stupid enough to believe this kind of nonsense! I'm afraid you're not looking for immortals, but the tombs of 'ancestors'! ”

Zhao Laosan haha: "It's to find the tomb, and when the time comes, I will find something good and give you points, you remember to keep your mouth shut." ”

The mouse waved his hand and said, "Third brother, what kind of person is my mouse, you still need to say it, after so many years of relationship, you see when I betrayed you." ”

Zhao Laosan said: "I naturally know who you are, Brother Mouse, otherwise I wouldn't dare to live with you at ease, but if someone comes to ask again, don't say that we have been here!" ”

"Understood, I'm not stupid!"
