Chapter 8 Inquire about the news

There was silence again along the way, Han Du looked out of the car, the street lamps and various buildings were moving quickly behind him, and his thoughts gradually returned to this mission, where was the site of the Burning Demon Temple buried in Huangming Mountain, he didn't have any eyebrows at all.

The driver also began to drive more seriously, and from time to time he would chat with Han Du for a few words, and Han Du also answered without a word.

About an hour later, when he finally arrived at Niutou Town, Han Du took his military backpack, thanked the driver, and got out of the car.

This Niutou Town is the only decent township near Huangmingshan, and there are still a few high-rise buildings, but it is already more than one o'clock at night, and there are no people on the street except for the lonely lights.

Huang Mingshan is very close to Niutou Town, standing on the street, you can already see the tall and upright Huang Mingshan in the back of Niutou Town.

Han Du didn't plan to stay here, and rushed directly to Huangmingshan, but after walking out a few steps, he suddenly saw two old figures pushing a tricycle down at the opposite crossroads, which seemed to be selling barbecue at night, and they should be closing the stall and going home at this time.

When the two old men were in their last years, their faces were full of wrinkles, and their white hair was blown by the wind, but they were accompanied by each other, and they did not see any sense of toil on their part.

Han Du greeted him, wanting to ask these two elderly people from Niutou Town about the news of the Burning Demon Temple. Although he knew that the chances of finding out the news were extremely low.

"Uncle, auntie, it's so late that you just closed the stall."

The two stopped, and the uncle said happily: "Yes, our old couple is idle and wants to earn some money to buy school supplies for our grandchildren." ”

"I really envy them, I have you two grandparents who love them." Han Du responded, paused and said, "Uncle, auntie, ask the two of you about something, there was a Demon Burning Temple on Huangming Mountain a long time ago, have you heard of it?" ”

"Burning Demon Temple?"

The uncle and the aunt glanced at each other, both with unknowing expressions.

The eldest lady pondered for a while, and said: "When I was a child, I heard that there was a lock demon cave on Huangming Mountain, what is the Burning Demon Temple, but I have never heard of it, I remember that there seems to be no temple on that mountain." ”

The uncle also agreed: "Young man, our old couple has lived in Niutou Town for decades, and there must be no temple on Huangming Mountain, looking at you like this, you don't want to enter the mountain late at night, right?" ”

Han Du nodded.

"That's not good, young man, listen to the uncle's advice, Huangming Mountain is high and densely forested, the vegetation has been restored well in recent years, there are more beasts on the mountain, and it is very dangerous to enter the mountain at night."

The eldest mother also discouraged again and again, saying that the national policy has been good in recent years, and the mountain has been restored to the same level as in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and all kinds of wild animals have increased.

Regarding this point, Han Du also had a real experience that there were even wolves in the mountains and forests around Guqing City.

However, Han Du still thanked them for their kindness, and he had to go to the mountain this time.

After walking past them with a military backpack on his back, Han Du suddenly stopped again, groping with one hand on his body, wanting to help the two old men. Although they don't seem to work hard, how can they not be tired when they come out to set up a stall to sell barbecue at night at such an age.

But he groped around on his body, and finally only found ten dollars in cash in his pocket, which was also his last money.

Seeing that Han Du didn't listen to persuasion, the two old men could only shake their heads and prepare to leave, when Han Du suddenly stopped them: "Uncle, auntie, do you still have ready-made barbecue on your stall?" I'm hungry and want to buy some. ”

The uncle turned over a piece of cloth covered by the cart, pointed to the barbecue board that was still warm, and said, "There are still some grilled gluten here, you can see how much you want, take it yourself." ”

Han Du knew that the grilled gluten used to be a string of one dollar, but now it is estimated that it has risen a little, but he put down the last ten yuan of cash on his body by the barbecue plate, only picked up a string of grilled gluten and turned away, the eldest mother hurriedly said that she wanted to find money, but Han Du didn't reply, and said forget it, you can keep it for your grandchildren to buy school supplies.

Seeing Han Du's footsteps leaving in a hurry, the two old men knew that he wanted to help him kindly, and their hearts were a little warm, and their eyes were moist unconsciously.

In fact, they didn't tell Han Du some things, they also went out to sell barbecue at night not only to buy school supplies for their grandchildren, but the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these two children all depended on the two old men selling barbecue.

A few years ago, the child's father was not angry and owed more than 3 million yuan for gambling, which was a huge amount of money for ordinary people like them, and they were unable to repay it at all, and most of the family's property was forcibly occupied by debt collectors.

The child's mother couldn't stand this blow and ran away with the man she met on the Internet, and I heard that she didn't have a good time later, but now she has no face to come back.

Looking at Han Du's figure gradually moving away, the wrinkled, white-haired uncle sighed: "What a good child, but what if you run up Huangming Mountain at night, what if something happens." ”

The white-haired and messy lady comforted: "Don't think too much about the old man, the auspicious people have their own natural appearance, this child is a blessed person with a good face, even if he encounters danger, he can turn evil into good fortune." ”

The uncle agrees with his wife's words, they have studied physiognomy before, and they see that Han Du is delicate, he is a typical boy and woman, and the heavenly court is full, and the ears are thick and big, and he must be extraordinary after some hardships.

Han Du didn't know that the uncle and aunt behind him had quietly paid attention to his face when they met, and now he was speeding along the empty streets, and soon left Niutou Town and arrived at the foot of Huangming Mountain.

The moonlight tonight is very bright, and the full moon is just hanging over Huangming Mountain, and the outline of the whole mountain is faintly recognizable.

I saw that this mountain was thousands of meters on the ground, and the mountain gradually shrank from the bottom to the top, and the higher it went, the steeper it became, and the higher it went, the thicker the vegetation, and the more various animals there were, and you could hear the cries of some unknown beasts standing at the foot of the mountain.

Han Du put down his military backpack, took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, and found that it had just arrived at 1:45 a.m., and it was still fifteen minutes before 2 a.m.

So he simply waited in place, taking advantage of this time, Han Du took out some equipment from the military backpack, first put a black steel helmet on his head, and then fixed the headlamp on it, so that he could free his hands when lighting on the mountain.

However, for the sake of insurance, he also took a spare small flashlight and put it in his trouser pocket, and finally, he solemnly took out the double-barreled shotgun, which was currently the most useful life-saving thing on his body.

As for the silver-white sharp knife hanging from his waist, it can be used to cut thorns and open the way later, and if any animals appear at close range, it can also be used to deal with them.
