Xiangxi Shadow Chapter 48 Hearsay
After persuading Qiu Yan, I called Long Quan over, and after discussing it, the three of them decided to go to the rock tombs tomorrow to have a look.
The next morning, we checked out, had breakfast and drove early.
But it wasn't until we came to the scenic spot of the rock tombs that I realized that this trip was in vain: the rock tombs are historical sites, and others are only allowed to watch from afar, not approach!
We sat on a cruise ship and looked at the rock tombs close at hand, marveling at its magnificence at the same time, we couldn't help but lament, thinking that we could lift the lid of the coffin at will in the hanging coffin above the canyon, but when we arrived here, even if we had monstrous ability, it was also helpless.
After getting off the boat, we had nothing to do, so we walked around a few scenic spots, and this time it was noon.
At lunchtime, we specially chose a homestay, first, to taste the local taste, and second, we still held on to the luck mentality, to see if we could ask some clues from the local population.
The owner of the B&B is a fashionable young man who is said to have been running the B&B for five or six years, and he has a wife and a son, as well as a pair of parents and a grandfather.
Because it is the off-season for tourism, there are only three of us in the homestay, I was a little curious, so I called the boss and asked:
"Brother, your family relies on such a homestay, can you eat enough?"
The boss handed me a cigarette, I refused, he lit it on his own and took a sharp puff, and then laughed:
"Seventy-two lines, the best in the line, these years, as long as you are willing to use your brain and work, where can you still not have enough to eat?"
"That's right, but I see that your family of five or six people can't live so nourishingly with this little bit of business, brother, to be honest, is there any other way?"
The boss squinted at me, then puffed out the cigarette butt and asked:
"Dude, if you have anything to say, it's not interesting to go around!"
As soon as the boss said this, I knew that I was asking the right person.
"A few of us want to take a closer look at the rock tombs, boss can you think of ideas?" I asked, in a low voice.
After hearing this, the boss leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands and looked at the three of us back and forth, and finally, his eyes fell on me and said:
"Yes, five hundred heads, no mobile phones, no cameras, no left, no anything out, in addition, a few people have to live here for two days, two hundred and one rooms, and the food money is given separately!"
I was stunned for a moment, this condition is not cheap, the entrance fee to the attraction is only a few dozen yuan, but he wants five hundred, plus the room money and meal money, in three days, he earned at least two thousand yuan from the three of us, no wonder this guy is so leisurely.
I smiled and asked:
"I can understand the other conditions, but what is the purpose of staying for two days?"
The boss laughed and replied:
"Don't think I'm killing you, if you want to take a closer look, you must be when there is no one, today is Friday, the weekend is the peak of the flow of people, usually Monday afternoon the rock tombs will be closed, we just have to go in during this time period."
It dawned on me that I was right.
"It seems that this is not the first time that the boss has done this, I will say that the boss has a clear bone, it is impossible to have no means!"
The boss re-lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said with a smile:
"We didn't grasp it very tightly here, so there were a lot of people doing this at the beginning, but we are not like others, we have rules, we can go in and investigate, but we must not destroy the ruins, this is our bottom line, so many people have been found out and taken away, only we are still kept."
I hurriedly laughed and said:
"That's, that's, you have to have rules for everything, and if you don't have rules, it's not messy? Rest assured, the boss will just go in and have a look, and will never move anything. ”
After that, I talked to the boss a few more times, and then the boss opened a room for us, and we settled down in the homestay.
After lunch, we walked around the neighborhood and realized that this B&B was located right behind the rock tombs, from here over the mountain, and then across the Youshui River, you can reach the cliff where the rock tombs are located.
It seems that this boss really has a unique geographical advantage.
Wandering along the mountain road, I suddenly noticed the wooden stick in Long Quan's hand, the previous fir stick had been lost in the cave, and the boy didn't know when he stepped on another scabbard to make a sword.
"I said Long Quan, your short sword is no longer a secret to us, do you need to be so cautious?"
"Hehe, Brother He, isn't this easy to hold?" Long Quan said with a smile.
"Then don't keep holding it, such a thick stick, and your sword is so heavy, don't you think it's troublesome?"
"Hey, hey, get used to it!"
"By the way, Long Quan, your ancestors didn't tell you where this sword came from?" I asked tentatively.
"No, it's just to tell me it's a family heirloom, don't let me lose it, that's why I look so tight!" Long Quan replied lightly, it was hard to hear his emotions.
"You are a bronze sword, it must have a great background, besides, you hold it in your hand all day long, in case someone finds it, but it will be confiscated, and the cultural relics will be returned to the state, don't you know?"
Long Quan picked up the wood and looked at it, and said lightly:
"This sword is pitch black, how can outsiders know if it's bronze or what, Brother He, don't you also know it after a careful look?"
I turned my head at this time and deliberately said to Qiu Yan behind me:
"If it were me, I would find a buyer to sell, how could I sell it for millions, and when the money arrived, I wouldn't have to worry about eating and drinking in this life, do you say? Mr. Qiu! ”
Qiu Yan still didn't understand my purpose, and after glaring at me, she reproached:
"You think they're all in the eye of money like you? It's a relic handed down from people's ancestors, and it's sold casually, so isn't it a bad offspring? Long Quan, don't listen to him! ”
My heart was cold when I heard it, Qiu Yan, a pig teammate, really couldn't take it!
We chatted and walked around, and after a while, we were back at the B&B.
Before I entered the door, I smelled a gluttonous aroma of bacon, and my appetite was immediately hooked.
When I entered the door, a large round table had been placed in the middle of the hall, and there were several dishes on the round table, all of which were some preserved chicken, preserved ducks, preserved sausages or something, and some wild vegetables.
After looking at the dishes on the table, I found that there were still people sitting next to the table, these people are the boss's family, the boss's wife and parents we have all seen, the extra one is old and one young, presumably the boss's grandfather and son.
As soon as we entered the house, the boss's wife stood up, she warmly beckoned us to sit down, and then poured tea and stuffed cigarettes, I thought to myself that spending two or three thousand yuan to have this treatment is not a loss.
After sitting down and exchanging a few words with the boss's parents, the boss came out with a basin.
"Bacon stewed river fish, there are no other good dishes at home, a few will be settled!" The boss laughed loudly.
The saliva in my mouth at this time is rising, the bacon with the pork belly plus the small river fish in the Youshui River, plus some spicy seeds and perilla, this is still enough? It's better than the whole Manchu and Han seats!
After the food was served, the owner's father took out a pot of old wine, he said that it was homemade, and as soon as it was opened, the wine was fragrant, and even me, who didn't drink much, could smell that it was a good pot of wine.
At this time, there is no need to persuade the boss's family, Qiu Yan and I immediately picked up the chopsticks, regardless of whether it was embarrassing or not, picked up the bacon and sent it to the mouth.
After a long period of contact, I also found out that Qiu Yan is also a serious foodie, once she meets something delicious, her ladylike disguise is all lost, if you have to find common ground from the two of us, that's it.
After three rounds of wine and a full meal, we gathered around the table and chatted about the big day.
From the boss's words, I learned that his family has a wooden boat behind the mountain, and the day after tomorrow, that is, next Monday afternoon, we will take this wooden boat to the rock tombs.
In addition, the boss also mentioned the rock tombs a little.
He said that in fact, there is nothing in the rock tombs, not even a few bones can be seen, he said that many people have spent a lot of money for him to transport over, but after reading it, they will regret it, thinking that it is not worth spending so much money to see a few caves.
The boss asked us what we were going to do with the rock tombs, and said that if it was just to see something fresh, then there was no need to go, and he said that instead of spending money to see a few caves, it would be better to see other attractions, and said that for the same price, he could take us to visit most of the attractions in Baojing.
I said, boss, aren't you breaking your own business? As long as we spend money, you don't care where we go?
The boss smiled and said:
"I'm looking at you buddy, you're real, and you say that to my appetite, and I won't mention it if someone else changes."
At this time, my mind was already on the head of alcohol, and I couldn't care about anything, I glanced at Qiu Yan, and said to the boss:
"To be honest, we want to investigate something this time, I don't know if the boss has heard of such a person as Peng Daworm Keyi?"
The boss was also too drunk at this time, and he put his head to my mouth and asked:
"What kind of big insect is Peng?"
Looking at the boss's confused expression, I knew that I had asked in vain, but at this time, the boss's grandfather, who had been sitting next to him without making a sound, opened his mouth playing with his wine glass, and he replied for me:
"Peng Da worm is appropriate!"
The boss shook his cheeks and said:
"Haven't heard of it!"
I looked at the boss grandfather, only to see him smile bitterly, sigh and say:
"Now these young people have forgotten about it."
As soon as I heard this, this old man knew something, so I quickly asked:
"Grandpa, do you know that Peng Da Worm is appropriate?"
The old man glared at me and replied angrily:
"My own ancestors, where would I not know!"
I was overjoyed, and I thought there was a play, so I took the opportunity to chat with the old man.
The old man is also a hard stubble, he took wine as water to drink, and told me about Peng Daworm's deeds while drinking.
In fact, what the old man said is not much different from what we know, the reason why he called Peng Da Worm Keyi as his ancestor is not because he is really a descendant of Da Worm Keyi, but because some of the local elders respect this toast and regard this person as their common ancestor.
When talking about the battle between the big worm Keyi and the brave prince, the old man sighed heavily:
"Hey, this thing, I've heard it, I don't know if it's true, back then, the brave prince and the big insect were both heroes who fought against the Japanese, although there was a little strife, but it was not serious enough to use force.
Later, Yonglie Gong didn't know what was wrong, he found a group of Zitima, and insisted on using his good son to summon the devil, and the big insect knew about it, so he led his troops to fight.
Hey, for this matter, the big worm was wrongfully imprisoned, but where do those officials know that if the devil is summoned, there will be people alive! ”
As soon as I heard it, no, this big worm is still right in front of him, why is it so far off?
"Grandpa, how did I hear that Gong Yong Lie was seriously ill, so he asked Tima to transfer his soul to his son?" I hurriedly asked.
