Chapter 179: Crows eat scavenging
In Changde, Hunan, in May, the weather is extremely hot, even if it is already more than eight o'clock in the evening, the remote suburbs of the airport are still full of people.
The six executors, who had already gotten off the plane at this time, were standing at the intersection waiting for a taxi.
Xu Lang raised his head slightly and glanced at the gloomy sky, the clouds were thick, there was no wind around him, and the air was even more dull.
A large area of dark clouds, like a pitch-black palm, suppressed the executor to death, making Xu Lang feel very uncomfortable.
It seems that it will not be long before a long-planned rainstorm will pour down.
Xu Lang frowned, he was about to find the location of the Peach Blossom Village mission, this kind of weather was really not a good thing.
Xu Lang turned to everyone and said, "As soon as it dawns tomorrow morning, we will set off to find Peach Blossom Village, and now we will go to the nearest hotel in the suburbs to stay." ”
The crowd nodded.
After a while, two taxis stopped in front of everyone with flashing lights.
Xu Lang and Nameless glanced at each other, "The four of you can sit down and let the driver follow our car." ”
Rong Chuan and the others looked at Xu Lang, but they didn't dare to say anything, and they obeyed the arrangement.
Xu Lang stretched out his hand to pull the car door and was about to step into the car, but at this moment.
A few hoarse cries came from mid-air, Xu Lang subconsciously looked up, and a small piece of milky white suddenly fell down.
Xu Lang couldn't dodge it, and was hit in the head by it.
A wipe, is it feces?
Xu Lang frowned slightly, looked up at the sky, and several black crows were hovering above his head, and after a few chirps, they completely melted into the darkness, as if their task had been completed.
This is......
Nameless looked at Xu Lang's appearance, took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to him.
He stopped with him, looked at the sky, and then said slowly: "Crow dung is ahead, I'm afraid it's not a good omen." ”
Xu Lang shook his head, took a handkerchief and began to wipe the feces on the top of his head, and the two entered the car together.
"Master, the nearest hotel here."
The driver said with a smile in authentic Hu Nan dialect: "There are no hotels nearby, but there are some locally opened homestays, the conditions are simpler, but they are also close to the mountains."
You're here for a tourist, and if it's convenient, I recommend you to stay there. ”
Xu Lang nodded, this is the best.
"Okay, then master, you can take us there."
Xu Lang sat in the back seat with Nameless at this time, he had wiped the crow droppings on the top of his head with a handkerchief, but the fishy smell always lingered.
He opened the window in annoyance, trying to blow some fresh air, and casually prepared to return the handkerchief to Nameless.
Nameless shook his head, took the handkerchief, and threw it out the window.
Xu Lang felt that since he got off the plane, the feeling of depression had become more and more obvious, especially at this moment.
The smell of the smell was coming from overhead, and even the wind blowing outside the car window could not be removed.
Xu Lang frowned and whispered to Nameless, "What did you mean by those words just now?" ”
Nameless sat in his seat, looked straight ahead, and said:
"Woe to the crow over his head, woe to him if there is no calamity!
Especially since those crows actually smashed their feces on your head, surely isn't that a good thing? ”
When Xu Lang heard this, he laughed instead: "Why did you start studying these too?" ”
Nameless said expressionlessly: "We are all here to talk, what superstition is not superstitious." ”
At this time, the driver in front seemed to hear the conversation between Xu Lang and the two, and hurriedly answered: "What, did you meet a crow?" ”
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, and nodded subconsciously.
The driver slapped his thigh, "This is not a good thing!" ”
Xu Lang was a little interested in this, "How do you say this?" ”
It can be seen that the driver's uncle is very enthusiastic and talkative, and it is rare for a passenger to talk to him, so he opened the conversation box at this time.
"In our area, we can't see crows on weekdays, and only in one place will we see a large flock of crows!"
When the driver said this, he sold the pass, Xu Lang thought to himself that there was nothing important at this time, it was better to inquire a little more about the local anecdotes, maybe there would be some other discoveries.
So Xu Lang asked very cooperatively: "What place?" ”
The driver smiled heartily: "Graveyard! ”
"Crows are very sensitive to decay, as soon as it appears, it means that there will be dead bodies within ten miles! And the graveyard is where they like to perch.
Therefore, in our traditional concept, the crow is an ominous feature. ”
Corpse?
Xu Lang was stunned when he heard this, as an executor, he was extremely sensitive to this kind of alternative and strange words.
And as early as in the conference room before, he had a guess.
Peach Blossom Spring Festival, this sacrificial word, means that this mission may have something to do with the dead.
And the driver's words reminded him of this.
In the middle of Xu Lang's thoughts, the driver glanced back at Xu Lang and looked up and down carefully.
Said slowly: "If crow droppings, fall on your head....... You have to be careful. ”
Xu Lang frowned slightly: "What does this mean?" ”
The smile on the driver's face suddenly disappeared, and he changed to a gloomy expression, and said word by word: "Because, you have the smell of dead people on your body!" ”
Hiss......
Xu Lang, who has been nervous for a long time, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
And Xu Lang's appearance made the driver suddenly grin.
"Hahaha, little brother, I'm kidding, why do you scare you like this."
But this sentence made Xu Lang and Nameless put it in their hearts, and Nameless glanced at Xu Lang with a somewhat strange expression.
Xu Lang was also puzzled at this time.
Judging from the driver's words, he did not mean to lie, and what he said before was also reasonable.
Although the last sentence is said in a joking tone, it is a completely different matter in the eyes of the executor.
Because, what they will face next is a corrupt evil spirit!
Since joining the newspaper, the science and atheism of the past have completely collapsed, and on the contrary, they are the most superstitious and intuitive people!
Because that sense of foreboding was honed through the experience of death many times.
Especially Xu Lang, this feeling has saved his life more than once!
The driver's words made Xu Lang more concerned.
Think of the previous conjecture, crows, dead corpses, scarecrows, sacrifices!
Before he officially entered the task, he had already started to have supernatural phenomena, which couldn't help but make Xu Lang pay attention to it!
Xu Lang frowned, bowed his head and fell into deep thought.
And the nameless one who doesn't want to go in, and he is not good at talking.
For the rest of the journey, the driver looked back several times, but could not talk again.
The road has become more and more remote, and there are fewer and fewer people around the lights around, and it seems that they have entered the deep mountains.
The surrounding trees and forests are extremely lush, which is a view that cannot be seen in the sea at all.
But Xu Lang didn't have the heart to appreciate these at all, he only felt that such a quiet and dark environment outside was even more indicative of the bad news of this mission.
The driver pointed forward and said, "This is this, this is what a friend of mine opened, there are more rooms, the conditions are relatively better, and it is close to the mountains, of course, the price will be a little higher." ”
Xu Lang shook his head and looked in the direction of his finger, which was a large wooden house that occupied a large area.
He had never seen a room with this structure before, but he had seen it on TV, and it was somewhat similar to a Japanese-style structure.
But judging from the hanging lanterns and the surrounding furnishings, they are all full of national style.
Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, Xu Lang glanced back, and Rong Chuan and the taxi they were in also followed behind.
Xu Lang casually asked the driver, "Are there any hidden places nearby that few people know?" ”
The driver frowned when he heard this: "Hidden place? ”
Xu Lang smiled and said: "Actually, we are a group of photographers who collect style, thinking about searching for the real natural mountains and rivers in our country, otherwise we would not have come so far." ”
The driver suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Now that the tourism industry is so well developed, there is no place that is inaccessible." ”
Xu Lang nodded with a little disappointment, the secret path is really not so simple.
But the next word from the driver made him lift his spirits again.
"However, I heard that in the innermost part of the mountain, along the creek, there is a naturally formed valley, which is hidden by large boulders and forests, and ZF has never developed it for fear of destroying the natural environment, and there is a natural barrier, so people naturally cannot enter.
If you have the idea, you can go there and have a look, but if you want to, you can't get in. ”
Xu Lang smiled, and sure enough, the driver still revealed some clues.
Although the location he said is not known if it is the entrance of Peach Blossom Village, but if you contact Tao Yuanming's article, there are some commonalities.
The taxi finally stopped, Xu Lang left a hundred-yuan bill, and the driver's uncle smiled and drove away satisfied.
Later, Rong Chuan and others also got out of the car, and the six executors converged in one place.
Xu Lang looked at the house in front of him, the horizontal plaque was decorated with colored lanterns, and there were four big characters on it: "The mountains and rivers are beautiful"
Dark yellow lanterns hang on both sides of the inn, and they are all made of wood, but it is not the peak tourist season, and there are few rooms in it that are lit.
Xu Lang turned around and asked, "Is there something going on over there?" ”
Rong Chuan shook his head and signaled no.
Xu Lang then said: "Then let's stay here for the night tonight, and then enter the mountain at dawn tomorrow!" ”
The group came to the door in a mighty way, and Xu Lang, who was the leader, knocked on the door.
But no one answered, Xu Lang knocked on the door again, this time after a long time, there was the sound of footsteps stepping on the plank.
The door opened from the inside, and a young woman with a mask on her face, pajamas, and a puppy in her arms appeared in the doorway.
Xu Lang smiled politely: "We are here to stay in the hotel." ”
Without waiting for the woman to speak, the dog in her arms, as if frightened, suddenly rushed out of the woman's arms, hid behind the woman, grinned at Xu Lang, and kept making a threatening sound in his throat.
It seems that Xu Lang's existence has a great threat to him!
And the sky in the distance, boom!
There was a thunderclap and a rainstorm was coming!
