Qiu Yan said that it was actually Tima who held the spearhead of the tiger bone, and I didn't deny it when I saw that Old Man Chen, didn't I say in my heart that this was nonsense? Tossing this old man for a long time, we didn't find the direction at all.

I asked Qiu Yan:

"So, then we don't need to look for big worms, right?"

Without waiting for Qiu Yan to answer, Old Man Chen shook his head and said:

"No, the big worm Keyi still has to be found, how to say that Tima is also a subordinate of Toast, if you want to find this Tima, you must also start from the big worm Keyi, the reason why I told you about this matter is just to provide you with one more idea, and it is also possible that the tiger bone spearhead is on the big worm Keyi."

Isn't that the same as saying it in vain? If you want to look for it for a while, don't look for it for a while, and tease me!

"Grandpa Chen, it doesn't matter if it's a big worm or Tima, we don't have any clues now, and we can't find it!" I asked, feigned frustration, thinking to myself that if the old man had a purpose, he couldn't have just told us this.

Sure enough, Old Man Chen took it off and wiped it, and then said meaningfully:

"I don't know how far you have investigated, as far as I know, the reason why Keyi, who was a big insect in the Liangjiangkou Soil House back then, was able to compete with Baojing Xuanfu Shi Peng Yonglie was because he received help from the Miao people."

Hearing this, I subconsciously glanced at Long Quan behind me, and at this moment he was listening attentively to our discussion, his face was calm and unfazed, and he didn't pay attention to my eyes at all.

"We also found out about this, in Longshan County back then, there was indeed a fight between the Miao and Tujia families, and the two sides of the fight were Peng Da Worm Keyi and Peng Yonglie." Qiu Yan added.

The old man put the cleaned glasses back on, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said:

"So the statement that the Miao people took away the corpse of the big insect Keyi, I think it is tenable."

After the old man finished speaking, Qiu Yan and I looked at Long Quan at the same time.

Seeing this, Long Quan grinned and said embarrassedly:

"Mr. Qiu, the funeral customs of the Miao people are different from those of the Tujia people, so I don't think the family of Da Worm Keyi will be willing to bury him in the funeral method of the Miao people, I am not wrong!"

Old Man Chen smiled and said:

"That's right, this young man is not wrong, the funeral customs of the Miao people are indeed different from those of the Tujia people, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Tujia people to be buried by the Miao people, but what we are talking about now is not the general situation.

Think about it, at that time, the big worm Keyi was locked up in the prison, and the one in power was Peng Yonglie's younger brother, so it was risky for the Miao people to take away the body of the big worm Keyi, since it was dangerous, then why did the Miao people take the risk of taking away the big worm Keyi? This shows that the big insect Keyi has an unusual relationship with the Miao people.

If this is the case, then we can't rule out that Da Worm Keyi's family had to let him be buried according to the customs of the Miao people when they had no choice but to do so, and there is also a possibility that the Miao people buried him in accordance with the Tujia way at the request of the Da Worm Keyi's family. ”

Hearing this, I understood what this old man meant that no matter what, we had to find the big worm from the Miao people.

It occurred to me that the old man's obvious hint must not be just a lip service, but the situation we had worked so hard to investigate, and he had said it in a few words, and I thought that the old man must have known something.

"Grandpa Chen, do you know something? The information of this big worm has been cut off since he died in the prison, even if we talk about it in full swing, there is still no clue! ”

Chen Fangyuan lay down on the back of the sofa at this time, took a sip of tea from his teacup, and then said:

"Have you ever heard of the name Fengwu Village?"

Several of us shook our heads at the same time.

"Fengwu Village is a Miao family village in the early Ming Dynasty, this village had a Gu girl named Yuehongmei at that time, it is said that this Yuehongmei and the big insect at that time Keyi walked very close, and the original site of Fengwuzhai is in the lower reaches of the car washing river, less than fifty miles away from the mouth of the two rivers."

I hurriedly asked:

"Are you saying that the big insect Keyi was taken away by this month's red sister?"

The old man nodded and continued:

"Yes, it should be this village, and I suspect that the spearhead of the tiger bone finally fell into the hands of this Yue Hongmei."

"How is that possible!?" Qiu Yan blurted out and said, "Isn't the tiger bone spearhead a sacred relic of the Tujia family?" How could it fall into the hands of the Hmong? ”

The old man raised his hand, signaled Qiu Yan not to get excited, and then said:

"Miss Qiu doesn't know, the Tima of the Tujia Village is different from the Tima of the Tusi, the Tima of the Tujia Village must be the Tujia family, but the Tima of the Tusi can be anyone, as long as the Tusi approves, the Gu girl of the Miao people can be the Tima of the Liangjiang Estuary!"

After the old man finished speaking, not only Qiu Yan was incredible, but I also felt that this statement was too incredible, mainly because this statement was completely different from the results of our current investigation.

I glanced at Chen Fangyuan secretly, speculating in my heart about his intentions, this old man was obviously not just "stopping by to have a look", he was deliberately guiding our direction, but what his purpose was, I couldn't guess at all.

"Grandpa Chen, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, how do you know this? Qiu Yan and I have checked a lot of information, what kind of Fengwuzhai and what kind of Gu girl, we haven't heard of it at all! ”

The old man pondered for a moment, and finally seemed to have made a decision, he put the teacup on the coffee table, looked at me and said:

"I naturally have my means, you can choose not to believe it, but if you can trust me, I am willing to accompany you through it, and when the time comes, whether it is true or false, you will naturally know."

In fact, at this time, I don't doubt that it won't have any effect, because at the moment we have no other way but to obey Chen Fangyuan.

Qiu Yan asked me with her eyes, and it seemed that she was also suspicious, so I nodded at her and signaled to do what the old man said first.

So, we agreed with the old man that we would leave early tomorrow morning to find the Fengwu Village.

When leaving Qiu Yan's room, Long Quan grabbed me from behind, and we watched this Chen Fangyuan leave, and then Long Quan whispered to me:

"Brother He, this old man is not a good person, you must not listen to him!"

I was shocked and looked at Long Quan, but found that Long Quan's face was serious, not like a joke at all, and Long Quan had never joked with me.

"How do you know he's not a good guy? I think it's normal! I asked tentatively.

Long Quan seemed to be a little anxious, he frowned, glanced at Qiu Yan behind him, and then pulled me towards his room, saying as he walked:

"Brother He, you are a smart person, do you think, we have worked so hard to find the clue, he found it as soon as he came, and he still refuses to say how he found it, isn't this a ghost?"

I stopped, pulled Long Quan to a halt, and asked:

"Long Quan, do you know anything? Didn't this old man Chen show us the direction to cure your Mr. Qiu's illness? Even if you can't find it, it's better than what we spend here! ”

Long Quan spread his hands and said with a smirk:

"What can I know, I just don't think this old man is like a good person, and I just don't want you to be deceived."

I patted Long Quan on the shoulder and said:

"Okay, don't worry about it so much, even if he is not a good person, with the skills of the two of us, can we still be afraid of him?"

Long Quan seemed a little disappointed, smiled at me and pushed open the door and entered.

I looked at the door closed by the dragon and fell into deep thought once more.

Whether Chen Fangyuan is a good person or not will not be said first, it can be inferred from Long Quan's words that he knows a little bit of the inside story, it seems that my guess is correct, Long Quan is definitely not simple.

But what I wonder is that Long Quan is not a fool, he should know how much his identity will be revealed by his words, but why did he still take the risk of saying it?

The words of these two people, Chen Fangyuan wanted us to go in the direction of Miao Village, and Long Quan didn't seem to want us to have anything to do with the Miao people, both of them had their own purposes, and I couldn't guess the purpose of both of them, and in an instant, I had a feeling of being shrouded in darkness.

However, no matter what I thought, the purpose of our trip was clear, and the next day, we settled the bill with the boss and drove in the direction of Liangjiangkou.

Along the way, Mr. Chen was explaining the situation of Fengwu Village to us.

He said that Fengwu Village was a village hundreds of years ago, and after the land was changed and returned, this village gradually declined, and now there should be no traces of people.

However, with his unique "means", he can still judge the general location of the stockade, but the specific address will have to be found when we get to the place.

Time passed quickly, and in the afternoon of the same day, we arrived at the mouth of the two rivers, near a village road, Mr. Chen waved his hand and said:

"Get in from here!"

So, we went from the provincial road to the winding village road.

After driving twenty or thirty kilometers along the village road, the road surface began to rise, and then after more than ten miles, I saw a ravine about two or three meters wide appeared in front of us.

There is a simple road next to the ravine, sticking to the ravine all the way forward, Old Man Chen pointed to this road and said to Qiu Yan:

"Follow this path."

I said in my heart that your "means" are quite powerful, and you can find the right direction in this mountain?

I have to say that the quality of the car can be reflected on this kind of road, this road is full of potholes, and it is full of steep slopes and small sharp bends, if it weren't for Qiu Yan's off-road vehicle, I guess we couldn't go out again when we came in.

Suddenly, Qiu Yan pointed forward and said, "Look! ”

I looked in the direction and saw that on the cliff in the middle of the ravine, there were several stilted buildings, all of which were made of wood, and they looked to be old and had been badly damaged.

I thought this was a sign that we had found our destination, but who knew that Chen Fangyuan said:

"It was built when it was developed and engaged in tourism in the past, and then it was abandoned before tourism was carried out."

I felt a sense of loss in my heart, saying what kind of tourism can be developed in this deep mountain and wild forest?

The old man pointed to the ravine next to him and said:

"Fishing, rafting, what can't you do?"

The corners of my mouth twitched, and I replied, "Yes! ”

As I was talking, I felt that the car was making a sharp turn, and when I looked up, the road had come to an end, and then there was a narrower dirt road up the mountain.

Qiu Yan stopped the car and asked Old Man Chen:

"Do you want to go up?"

The old man nodded.

Qiu Yan smiled bitterly, turned back to me and said:

"The car can't get up, we have to climb the mountain!"

"It doesn't matter if you climb the mountain, it's just Grandpa Chen~~" I looked at Old Man Chen and said.

Before I finished speaking, the old man pushed the door and got out of the car, and said with a smile:

"It's not in vain that I go south and north, this little mountain road, no problem!"

I gave him a thumbs up, then put on my backpack and set off first.
