Chapter Twenty-Seven: Whipping the Mountain
"Damn, I knew it was so shallow, so I wouldn't have dived just now." The fat man cursed with an unhappy face.
"It's really strange that there is such a huge piece of mud swamp next to the reservoir, and it is inside the cliff, how did such a huge underground space come to be?" I muttered to myself.
Lao Fei was not surprised, and said with a big grin: "Haven't you heard of Sun Moon Lake?" Everything in this world is relative, just like where poison dwells, there must be an antidote to poison. You see, the reservoir outside is Yang Lake, and here is the Yin Land, and the so-called Yin and Yang are opposite, which is the truth. ”
"!"
I was speechless and choked, but when I thought about it, I felt that there was no reason in the words, but when these words came out of Lao Fei's mouth, I always felt that they were not tastes.
It seems that there is an undercurrent at the bottom of this underground swamp, otherwise such a large flow of water would have formed a lake long ago.
I just don't know, is this the place where the snake cultivates?
The mud was so deep that Lao Fei and I jumped in, and it took a lot of effort for the two of us to drag the raft up to the outlet.
It was so cold that we didn't want to stay any longer.
The roar of the oil engine echoed throughout the dark swamp, and when it spread far away, several strange shadows came from the depths of the swamp.
They crawl very fast in the swamps, approaching them almost in the blink of an eye.
Lao Fei shook the lighter and shouted: "Oh, we expected it right, those snake people are really hiding here." ”
I saw those strange figures that came quickly, their whole bodies were stained with mud, like huge lizards, but they could vaguely distinguish their human form, and they were the villagers who had been cursed by corpse poison.
"Hurry up, this is someone's place, and you can't get out if you're entangled!"
The old fat nagged, drove the horse and force, and the oil raft rushed out like an arrow from the string.
I didn't expect him this time, he almost rolled off the oil raft into the water, and cursed: "Will you open it, this water hole is narrow, if you hit the cave walls on both sides, it will be troublesome......"
Before he finished speaking, the oil raft hit the cave wall as promised, and the oil raft had been shattered and overwhelmed after being pumped by the snake a few times.
This is good, after hitting the cave wall, it disintegrated in an instant.
Lao Fei and I were thrown out of the air under the tremendous inertia, slammed into the cold, slippery stone wall, and then fell into the water.
After falling into the water, I was completely stunned, my head was buzzing, and my chest and abdomen hurt even more.
Got out of the water, and happened to see Lao Fei coming out with a lighter flashlight.
"Mistakes, mistakes, I didn't expect you to be able to run so fast with a broken bamboo raft!" Seeing my ugly face, the old fat explained.
I'm going to be by this guy, take a few deep breaths in a row to relieve the body pain.
Fortunately, the raft had been driven out for more than ten meters, and the current here was not so fast, and we could barely hold ourselves in the water, otherwise we would have washed back into the swamp and would not have any good fruit to eat.
"Let's go."
I was worried that the snake man would chase him out, so I didn't bother to worry about the old fat, so I pulled the slippery stone wall with one hand and paddled the water with the other, and returned to the original road.
It was much more difficult to get out than to come in, the water was extremely cold, the lower and half of the body were soaked, at first there were bursts of unbearable cold pain, and finally gradually paralyzed and unconscious.
It took us almost half an hour to finally emerge from the hole, and by the time we swam ashore, our faces were so blue that we were already cold, sneezing incessantly, and our whole body was cold.
The old fat was lying on the ground on all fours, looking half-dead.
I didn't even have the strength to curse at this time, so I rested for a while, regained some strength, and the two of us helped each other back towards the embankment house.
The clothes all over the body were wet and sticking to the body, which was extremely uncomfortable, and we had to go back and change into dry clothes, otherwise the body would not be able to stand it.
When the two stumbled into the yard, Huang Yuting was fiddling with her medicine box in the yard, and she was surprised and surprised to see us so embarrassed.
"You ...... What's going on? ”
We were so trembling that we couldn't even speak, so we hurried back to our room to change our clothes, and as we passed the hall, we saw an extra guest on the table.
This person is wearing a police uniform, about forty years old, with a fat head and big ears, and he has a fight with the old fat.
"Who are you...... Lao Tianyan? I've got something to look for him. ”
The man was stunned when he saw us, and then asked.
"I am, I'll talk about it later, I'll go into the room and change my clothes."
Five minutes later, I walked out of the room wrapped in a quilt and sneezed, looked at the officer and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”
The fat police officer stood up, his eyes narrowed and looked me up and down, and asked again uncertainly, "You are Lao Tianyan, the grandson of the old ghost?" Are you in charge of this place now? ”
"Not bad!"
I shivered and nodded.
"My name is Li Guodong, the deputy captain of the town bureau, where is the old ghost? Where did the others go? ”
I shook hands with the vice-captain and said, "The old man has gone out on a trip, and this place is temporarily managed by me, so you are here to ask about the plague at the foot of the mountain, right?" ”
"Yes, this matter has made a lot of noise, and it has already made headlines." Deputy Li Guodong frowned and continued to ask: "Why did the old ghost leave at this time, did he say when he would come back?" ”
"I don't know when he will return, and I don't know what he's going to do."
Hearing this, Li Guodong's brows furrowed even deeper, and he suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Are you a mountain guard?" Did he pass it on to you? ”
I was stunned, I didn't think that someone of his status also knew about our mountain guards, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
Seeing me nodding, Li Guodong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a calm face: "Why is this matter so big, deal with it quickly, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to the top."
Li Guodong seemed to have something to say, and I was puzzled and asked, "What this time?" Are you ...... with my old man?"
Li Guodong coughed twice, straightened his collar and whispered: "I don't only know about your mountain guards, but I also know about the world, the Yin people, including the Daomen. In fact, I am the deputy captain of the town bureau on the surface, and secretly I am also the director of the affairs here, and I have to record every move of you people who are outside the world. ”
I stayed for two seconds, and then it dawned on me, "So, you're in charge of our boss?" ”
"It's not...... No... Don't dare ......"
Li Guodong was frightened, and said in a panic: "I'm just in charge of running errands to find out the news, but I don't care about you people, young master, don't joke around." ”
I pondered in my heart, I couldn't imagine that he knew about our world and the affairs of the yin people, but it also made sense to think about it, there are so many different people and strange things in the world, if there is no corresponding management system, then the world is not all chaotic?
I didn't know before, but I just hadn't stepped into this circle yet.
Li Guodong told me that this matter has attracted great attention from above, and if it is not dealt with in time, another person will be sent to clean up the mess, and I will even be convicted for it.
The people he sent were naturally not ordinary people.
I smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I don't understand anything now, what do you tell me to do?" You can't kill all those innocent villagers, can you? ”
"Why, you can't solve all the evil in your body? Where's your whip? Li Guodong looked at me with a puzzled expression.
"What mountain whip? I don't know. ”
"As a mountain guard, you don't even know how to catch the mountain whip? You're ...... He's too casual, isn't he? Li Guodong looked at me like a ghost.
I was even more speechless, this Li Guodong seems to know more about the mountain keeper than me, the mountain guard.
I, a half-hung mountain guard, seem to be really unqualified, remembering the words of the old fat who teased me when I inspected the reservoir before, I couldn't help but feel bitter in my heart.
At this time, Huang Yuting brought two bowls of ginger soup from outside to me and Lao Fei to ward off the cold, and when Lao Fei heard that there was ginger soup to drink, he ran out of the room.
"Xiao Tingting, you are really a bodhisattva, an angel in the world, what I lack now is this bowl of ginger soup, Mom! I was so impressed. ”
The old fat wiped a handful of eye feces, and poured ginger soup into the intestines in three or two bites, but within half a second, he suddenly stuck out his tongue, and the ghost cried wolf: ", it's so hot!" ”
"Thank you!"
I said thank you to Huang Yuting.
She smiled, didn't say anything, and exited the room to take care of Yan Xiaoying.
Li Guodong looked at Lao Fei, and said helplessly: "Zhuzi, were you eavesdropping on us just now?" ”
When the fat man heard this, he immediately said with a calm face: "Old watch, how many times have I said not to call me a pillar, damn, this is called like a stupid erha, please, call me old watch in the future, or call my name directly, okay?" ”
I couldn't have imagined that Lao Fei and the deputy captain and director of this town were cousins, the age difference between the two of them was too big, but the faces of the two were somewhat similar.
Don't think about it, Lao Fei can come here to guard the mountain, it is estimated that it is also Li Guodong's means, presumably when the snake incident was exposed, he had already begun to notice me.
No wonder Lao Fei was not too surprised when he saw the villagers who were attacked by evil. It turns out that he has already been exposed to these things, and even I suspect that he is a member of Li Guodong's office, and he is suspected of being an undercover agent here.
The fat man shrank his neck when I saw it, and scolded and said: "Lao Yan, don't look at me with fucking eyes like this, fat brother, I came here purely to make a living, and I have no other intentions." ”
"I heard that you are married to the one on the mountain, is this true?"
Li Guodong did not immediately explain to me about the mountain whip, but suddenly asked me about my private affairs.
It seems that this guy has been secretly paying attention to me, otherwise how could he know about me and Lin Jingmei.
I hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, I am not sure what kind of person Li Guodong is now, and the old man didn't tell me, so I had to find out for myself.
"I've heard about it, but it's still a little hard to believe."
Li Guodong's shocked look on his face did not seem to be fake, he looked at me with a strange look and said, "You...... This is a prison guard stealing herself, the supreme mountain god Niangniang, she actually ...... Willing to commit himself to marrying you kid, I really don't know what shit luck you guys have taken. ”
"By the way, if you marry the mountain god Niangniang, wouldn't it be better to find her directly to solve this matter?"
It seems that Li Guodong still doesn't know that Lin Jingmei and I knelt down to worship heaven and earth, were punished by heaven and earth, and were seriously injured.
"There is an abnormality in the Shuanglong Cave, and he doesn't have time to worry about it." I said casually.
After hearing this, Li Guodong nodded and said, "That's right, that matter is more important." ”
"Getting back to the point, what exactly is the mountain whip you just mentioned? Is it famous? ”
Lao Fei is not an outsider, and I don't mind if he listens to him and asks Li Guodong about the mountain whip.
