I had set my goal this time, but I didn't know exactly where to go.

I feel that Yan Feitang seems to know more about this matter, but I can't find her now, so after thinking about it, I still decided to call the second uncle, I want to visit the master who told him to find the soft gold spine.

On the phone, the second uncle told me that the man lived in Cangxiang, not far from my residence in Nanjing.

Cangxiang is an old street in Nanjing, located near Chaotian Palace in Qinhuai District, and is no more than ten kilometers away from my home.

I remember that Qin Huai said that she was born in Qinhuai District, and the name Qin Huai was settled by his father after struggling for half a month without results, and finally slapped the table with half a catty of liquor.

But when it comes to Cangxiang in Qinhuai District, there is still a story.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cangxiang was the road leading directly to the granary of Emperor Sun Quan, hence the name.

In the past dynasties crowded in the middle, the area of Cangxiang is densely packed with granaries, and there are Taicang Lane (royal granary) and Qianzhang Lane (Shidafu granary) around it, which is simply an ancient grain gathering place.

This alley is slender and long and winding, and there are eight small alleys around it, which looks like a dragon from the sky, so it also has the reputation of the eight-clawed golden dragon lane.

But it didn't take long for the Octopus Golden Dragon Lane to be changed back to Cangxiang, and according to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang did it.

It is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang fixed the capital of Nanjing, one day he took a walk under the wall of Wanren Palace in front of Chaotian Palace, and suddenly saw clouds overhead, and there seemed to be two eight-clawed golden dragons fighting in the clouds.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was worried about his dragon luck for a short time, suffered from heart disease within a few days and was bedridden.

After the military advisor Liu Bowen learned about it, he offered a plan - the eight-clawed Golden Dragon Lane facing the palace gate is the hiding place of the heavenly dragon, as long as the dragon claws are nailed and the dragon body is locked, there is no need to worry.

Later, Liu Bowen drew a map of the dragon in Disha Town overnight, and ordered people to dig a total of 72 wells in the eight-clawed Golden Dragon Lane and the surrounding eight small alleys, and even dug a hundred-zhang deep "lock dragon well" on Anpin Street, which means to kill the dragon's claws and buckle the dragon's waist.

In addition, a deep ditch was dug in the middle of the eight-clawed Golden Dragon Lane road, which was regarded as the removal of dragon tendons.

I'm originally from Nanjing, and I've been to Cangxiang a few times before because I went out with friends, and I did see a few wells with abrupt locations around Cangxiang, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

And about the story of the lock dragon well, I have always regarded it as a somewhat proud urban legend of Nanjing, although I have looked up many times on the Internet, but I have never studied it in depth.

The next day, Ah Jin and I took the train back to Nanjing, and arrived at my house in the evening.

I suddenly found that Ah Jin was a very smart girl, and he came out to find me this time, in addition to the note I left for them, he actually brought his ID card, household registration book, and 800 yuan in cash.

You say Ah Jin is smart, sometimes chatting with her can really make you angry.

But if you want to call her stupid, she didn't forget to bring any of these essential things when she went out, and even brought an extra household registration book.

I really don't know if she's pretending to be or if it's real.

In the evening, we had a fairly hearty dinner at the small restaurant downstairs, and then I took him to the big supermarket nearby, which had an outdoor counter, and I was going to buy some must-have things for this trip to Yunnan.

There were a lot of people in the supermarket, and I was afraid that Ah Jin would get lost, but I was embarrassed to hold someone's hand, so I asked him to hold my clothes.

The two of them walked and walked one after the other, and when they walked to the food area, Ah Jin behind me suddenly dragged me, and as soon as I turned around, I found that she was pointing to the shelves not far away, and her eyes were shining with longing.

I walked over and saw that the row was selling chocolates.

"Yo, Xiao Ah Jin was addicted to chocolate last time, right?" I asked with a wicked smile.

Ah Jin nodded lightly and pointed to a piece of milk chocolate, "Ah Jin eats this." ”

Looking at Ah Jin's little girl's demeanor, it directly stimulated my inner desire to protect, and I patted my chest boldly, "Buy!" Don't be polite to your brother if you like anything! ”

Ah Jin smiled slightly, and just walked to the shelf, took a small piece of chocolate, and held it tightly in the palm of his hand.

How can you be so stingy when you take a girl out to buy something?

It's rare for people to want to eat chocolate, how can they buy a piece?

I pushed the cart directly to the chocolate shelf and rolled it with my hand, and the chocolates crackled into the cart like rain.

"Let's go! Advance to the next high ground! ”

After buying the chocolates, Ah Jin gradually let go of her hands and feet with my encouragement, and threw everything she seemed to want to eat, drink, be interested, and curious.

Canned herring, deer antler slices, two catties of cod meat, a bullfrog, three large jars of kiwi juice, a dress, etc., and even bought a ginseng.

Although there are many kinds of these things, at least they can be eaten and drunk, and they are not wasteful.

But what she bought next was a bit outrageous.

A remote-controlled car, a basketball, an Ultraman mask for a child, and a box of men's panties, I really couldn't figure out why she was buying men's panties.

I felt a little heart attack when I checked out, and the cashier receipt was more than a meter long, and this trip cost me almost three thousand!

Before going out, I thought about it, and then I went back and bought a mobile phone for Ah Jin and got a calling card, I don't have a mobile phone in this world to know how to live, and I think it will be more convenient to contact her in the future.

I started a home delivery business directly at the supermarket, after all, there are so many things that if I bring them home by myself, I can use my curse.

The next morning, I took Ah Jin straight to Cangxiang.

According to the description of the second uncle, the old man lived in a dilapidated bungalow in the middle of Cang Lane, and the outer wall of the house was red bricks and black seams, which was very recognizable.

There are shops, bookstores, and breakfast shops in the alleys, and the business is not bad, but it is almost noon, and there are still people drinking soy milk and eating fritters in the breakfast shop.

Walking down the alley, I saw a dilapidated bungalow from afar, and the outer walls of the bungalow were made of red bricks as described by the second uncle, and the brick joints were also black.

The door to the bungalow is a red-painted wooden door, and the key is that this red is not the dark red that I often see in my hometown.

This door is bright red and very abrupt.

I greeted Ah Jin, the two stood respectfully in front of the door, I reached out and knocked on the door and felt that my hands were sticky, and when I opened them, I saw that my palms were stained with a lot of red paint.

This door was freshly brushed?

Just as he was thinking, the door was opened.

Inside the door stood a rickety hunchbacked old man, estimated to be about eighty years old, although full of white hair and wrinkled face, but he was very energetic, and the old man's gestures made me feel a heroic free and easy.

I was just about to introduce myself when the old man waved his hand, said "come in", and then turned and went into the house.

In my imagination, this lie should at least be as reasonable as the three visits to the thatched house, after all, this old man is a master of the world, and I feel that as long as he is a master of the world, he must have a strange temper to be worthy.

But why is this old man so good at talking, he didn't even ask me what I was doing, and just let me in.

In this case, Ah Jin and I entered the house and closed the door.

There were no lights on in the room, not even the curtains were drawn, but I still saw something in the dark.

It was a well, and there was a thick iron chain hanging from it.
