To put it cold-bloodedly, with such a large population density, it is inconceivable to feed thousands of people living in such a small mountain village and small shantytown.

After all, the saying that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water is true, but the small mountain villages and mountains are no longer water, and there are no terraced farmlands, just for food, they can only rely on external resources, and why do they want to stay here, and how do they do it? Can they survive here?

Qian Bin really couldn't figure it out, but he thought of the money that Phoenix handed over to the old man just now, maybe he could give him a little explanation.

Just when Qian Bin looked around and was about to continue exploring, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, and goosebumps appeared on his back as if he had crawled something.

Qian Bin subconsciously turned his head and saw a piece of paper pinched head.

Paper? Qian Bin was startled, only to find out that it was the old man.

Because the appearance is too weird, the folds on his face and the face like the picture, like a paper wrinkled and undulating, it really makes people feel that it is daunting, not like a living person, one of his eyes is already blind, only a milky white eyeshell is left like a fake eyeball, and the other eye looks around him smartly, and the sound that comes out of his throat and eyes like a sound from hell passes through Qian Bin's eardrums and drills into his mind.

"Young man, you're not a local, are you? What are you doing here? Sneaky?"

Qian Bin broke out in a cold sweat and said,

"I'm here to travel."

Pound!

Qian Bin was hit his arm and turned red. The old man took out a slender bamboo stick out of nowhere, and it hurt hotly when he hit people, and the old man still had words in his mouth, and said,

"Lying, not learning well at a young age, not talking about it. Mao is not firm, and he dares to tell such an inconsequential lie in front of Lao Tzu. ”

Qian Bin can only complain, what is wrong with this old man? But he recognized that this was the old man who had confronted the blue phoenix just now and did not fall behind.

Qian Bin rubbed the back of his hand and decided to make a desperate bet, let go and said,

"Old Ninth Master?? You're the old ninth master, right? ”

The old man was obviously taken aback, frowned, and stretched out a slender bamboo stick, Qian Bin narrowed his eyes and put his hands on his chest, thinking that he was going to beat himself again, but he didn't expect the old man to put down the stick and said tremblingly,

"How do you know who I am? Who are you? ”

Qian Bin didn't know what the relationship between this old man and Blue Phoenix was, and he didn't know what the identity and status of this person in the village was, so he said vaguely,

"I'm here to check something up."

"Investigation? Who are you? Are you a police officer? Old Brother Jiu was very keen, and seemed to have thought of this layer, but Qian Bin was not ready to reveal his identity here, he immediately shook his hand and said,

"It's not so mysterious, we really just got involved in this village halfway through the tour, and we couldn't get out of the fog, and a lot of strange things have happened in the village recently, so I thought to see if we could investigate and find out what the truth of these things is."

The old ninth brother looked at Qian Bin again, looked back and forth on his body, this time with one eye, looked at Qian Bin all over his hair, and looked at it back and forth a few times before saying,

"You come with me."

Although I can't figure out what this old man is selling in the gourd

medicine, but Qian Bin thought to himself, he wouldn't suffer a loss anyway, and the big deal was to return in vain.

So Qian Bin followed the old man behind through this shantytown, turned around, walked along the path for a long time, only to find his residence, Qian Bin also followed behind, found that the old man's whereabouts were strange, although the walking steps were not big, but the frequency was extremely fast, and after a while, he came to the front, holding the bamboo stick in his hand, and greeted him.

"You kid walks too slowly."

Qian Bin staggered and fell far behind him, and when he returned to the shop where the old man was panting, he was taken aback and said.

"Why is it that other people's houses are so small, but yours is so much worse?"

The old man smiled and showed a few white teeth,

"Isn't that of course? Old man, I'm the head of this village, and I'm only decent when I'm older. ”

"You're the village chief?" , Qian Bin was taken aback.

"That's right, Lao Tzu is the authentic village chief of this village."

Chief? And what's going on with the Blue Phoenix? Isn't she the number one in the village? What kind of inheritance ceremony is this ongoing ceremony?

The old man glanced at Qian Bin suspiciously and asked,

"You said you wanted to investigate, could it be this?"

Qian Bin immediately shook his head and said,

"No, no, no, no, I'm just curious."

"Hey, hey, curiosity kills cats, haven't you heard of that? If you really think that and want to know the truth of this matter, then you can find out for yourself and ask me what this old man is capable of. ”

Qian Bin was embarrassed, this old man was too big-hearted, his position was robbed, he was not in a hurry, and let others check it by themselves, he sighed and said,

"Since you don't pursue it yourself, then I won't say anything, but it is true that a lot of strange things have happened in the village recently, and if you are really the village chief, why would you live in such a slum?"

As soon as he heard the word slum, the old man almost jumped up, his face suddenly turned blue, he grabbed the bamboo stick in his hand and poked it at Qian Bin, fortunately, Qian Bin was vigorous, after all, he was born in the army, and he usually did this kind of reaction training, and it was not like the first sudden attack, which surprised him, and the old man smiled with a gloomy face after he flexibly dodged several attacks.

"There are two times, boy, it seems that you are not an ordinary person, since you asked, then I will tell you, this TMD is not a slum, this is a village managed by Lao Tzu."

Qian Bin knew that this was touching his scales, so he didn't ask any more.

The old man suddenly said with emotion,

"The village is surrounded by mountains, the terrain is steep, and there are no farmland attractions, let alone transportation arteries."

"The nearest city is only a small city, and even if we go there, we have to walk for three days."

"In such a poor mountain village, it is already possible to afford to live in Tongpu."

The old man's words did not seem like complaining.

"Except for the area like the one under the jurisdiction of the Blue Phoenix, I think they live quite comfortably, and there are even a lot of modern equipment, so how did they do it?"

The old man smiled weirdly and said,

"Then you can ask her, how do I know what she does, and if I could know, I wouldn't let the village be what it is."

It seems that there is still some spear between this old man and the blue phoenix

The shield did not solve.

The old man looked at ease when he returned to his little nest, and there were few furnishings or furnishings on the four walls of the house, but there was something like an oven in the middle, and the wood was quite fresh in the campfire when the brackets were erected.

On the fire rack was a fresh fish bone, which was already crispy. The old man hurriedly cut off the fish bones from above and patted the dust on the bones.

Qian Bin thought it was funny.

What the hell is this old man?

Old Brother Jiu, put away the fish bones, put out the fire, laid out the cushions and backrests in the house, let Qian Bin sit down, and he himself leaned on a soft cushion, which looked like a sofa, and the whole shop was like a huge tent, enveloping the two of them in it.

"Originally, this was a small village in the middle of nowhere, and in the mountains, we had to rely on reselling the cinders on our bodies to survive."

The old man talked without a stubble, and Qian Bin was a little stunned when he heard it.

"Wait, wait, wait," Qian Bin interrupted the old man's words,

"What's going on? Why did you suddenly start introducing the village? ”

The old man asked,

"Aren't you here to look into this?"

Qian Bin scratched his face and said,

"Not really, but you can tell me."

"In the past, this place was originally one of the support targets of the big poor village, but this situation changed a few years ago."

"A few years ago, what happened a few years ago?" Qian Bin asked

"As you can see the blue phoenix, she's back," the old man sighed.

"Come back? What do you mean? Was she originally from this village? ”

The old man sighed and nodded

"That's right, she left the village when she was very young, saying that she was going to go outside to develop, and then came back with the ability, and now he has come back with the ability."

"So you gave her the position of village chief?" Qian Bin asked.

"How is that possible? How could it be handed over to her? I'm still the village chief," Old Brother Jiu, stretched out his palm and saw that his palm was covered with blood and scars.

That.......

"She went back to the village, first engaged in the various businesses of the village, building roads, building houses, and I don't know where to get so much money, and then the village began to prosper, and I also saw that she did have two brushes and entrusted the village to her jurisdiction, and she said that she would follow the ancient law."

"Ancient law?"

"That's right, Gufa." The old man patted his head, "Don't look at the white bricks and red walls of the village now, it used to be a ruin, it was worse than me - in fact, it wasn't like this before, it was the ancient method that was practiced a long, long time ago, and what kind of rituals and sacrifices were engaged." ”

"In other words, did such a thing happen after the Blue Phoenix returned to the village?" Qian Bin asked.

The old man nodded and said,

"There's nothing surprising about that, after all, everyone in the village can trust him."

"And what's going on with this ritual right now?"

Qian Bin thought of Xiao Xiao's matter, this old man, showing one eye, stared at Qian Bin for a long time with a turbid whirlpool in his eyes, and suddenly asked,

"I also wonder about this, he doesn't know where to find it, the bloodline of an ancient heir said, this is our next village chief.".
