Mr. Zou grotesquely stretched out his finger, tapped at himself a few times, and then stared straight at the few of us present.

"What do you mean by that?" Duan Ruoxue was puzzled.

Mr. Zou coughed and said softly, "Do you remember what I said before that my grandfather walked through a waterway when he came out?" ”

We nodded in confusion.

"There is no possibility that there will be a waterway in the mountain, so my speculation is that the location of the entrance should be under the mountain."

"Down the mountain?"

"Yes, this mountain is shaped like a wine bottle, the Yang family should have originally opened a tomb in the middle of the mountain, and then it was filled in, if you go into the middle of the mountain, it will be difficult for a few of us to accurately find the tomb entrance."

"So, I mean, take the same waterway that my grandfather came out of back then."

I glanced a few times at the bottom of the cliff, and couldn't help frowning, I'm afraid it's not easy to find that waterway because the mountain is so big.

Mr. Zou smiled, "You don't have to worry, I have already asked the people in the village before going up the mountain, there is indeed a big river behind the mountain, as long as you look along that river, you will definitely find the entrance." ”

When Lu Le heard this, he urged: "Then since this is the case, let's leave immediately!" ”

Duan Ruoxue grabbed him, "Brother Lu, it's okay for a few of us, but Mr. Zou is old, I'm afraid he can't stand such a toss." ”

Lu Le was stunned for a moment, "In that case, Sister Ruoxue, you and Sister Ling'er will send Mr. Zou back to the village first, and I will go around the back of the mountain with Lu Yuan to inquire about the situation first." ”

I nodded to Wang Ling'er and Duan Ruoxue, although they were also a little reluctant, but it was not easy to shirk in front of Mr. Zou.

After a few of us went down the mountain, Lu Le took me to the side of Xuangong Mountain, the mountain road was not easy to walk, and it took most of the day to finally cross the mountain.

At this time, I found that there was a big river winding through the valley at the foot of the mountain, and Lu Le and I carefully went down to the valley, and roughly looked at it, the width of the river was about 20 zhang, the water was green, and it looked quite deep.

Lu Le walked in and fetched some water, the speed of the water was very gentle, I looked at the turquoise water and said, as long as I find a boat, the rest of the things will be much easier.

Lu Le's face was embarrassed, "If you want to find a boat out of the mountains, isn't that forcing the rooster to lay eggs?" ”

I said, why don't you go back and find someone in the village to do it?

Lu Le shook his head, "When I find the right wood to make it, I'm afraid the daylilies will be cold!" ”

However, after he finished speaking, his eyes rolled again: "When I came down just now, I saw that there seemed to be a village on the other side of the mountain, so let's go first and ask." ”

After hearing this, I sat down on the ground and said disappreciably: "Brother Lu, if you want to have that leisure, you might as well go back and let the village chief make us a boat." ”

"Just now, didn't you say that there is a boat in the mountain, unless the rooster lays eggs."

"You kid, didn't I think of it just now?"

Lu Le patted me on the shoulder, "Don't worry, in my opinion, there must be a boat in that village." ”

I hurriedly sat up: "Brother Lu, can you be so sure?" ”

Lu Le lit a cigarette and smiled, "It is said that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft the water, you kid is also from the mountains, why haven't you understood this reason?" ”

He said and looked at the big river in front of him, "It's not common in the mountains, right?" ”

I nodded.

"Then you say, the people from the village opposite won't fish for anything in the river?"

When I heard it, I was right.

There is no reason to waste resources in a big river, although the fish and shrimp in the river are not treasures, but they are also a dish.

The white fish, how can it be said that it is also meat, how can there be a reason to eat it is not fragrant?

So at that moment, Lu Le and I took off our shirts and pants, held them up with our hands, and swam towards the other side of the river.

When I got dressed and came to the entrance of the village, I happened to meet an old man leading an old ox and feeding grass there.

Lu Le came up to say hello: "Uncle, feed the cow." ”

"Nonsense, I don't feed the cows, do I feed you." The uncle didn't raise his head, and he looked a little ignorant of answering.

Lu Le laughed awkwardly, "Uncle, let's ask you about something." ”

"If you have something, just say, what are you ink with me, old man?"

When I heard it, this uncle was very angry.

"Do you always know that there are boats in the village?" Lu Le asked patiently.

Uncle raised his head and glanced at us, "What are you asking the ship for?" ”

I said, "Think of playing in that river." ”

Who knew that after hearing this, the uncle said in a weird way: "You two big men are going to play in the river, just go with your bare butts, what kind of boat do you want?" ”

I was speechless, "Uncle, we want to rock the boat to the water." ”

"Let's go back, there's nothing to see!"

The uncle's tone was still very cold, as if Lu Le and I owed him a lot of money and hadn't paid it back.

"You'd better not go down to the water, otherwise you will be taken away by the river god, don't say that my old man didn't remind me."

After speaking, he took the old scalper and left.

Leaving me and Lu Le with inexplicable faces.

This old man's temper is too stinky, and he feels like he can't communicate normally.

I asked Lu Le, "Brother Lu, what river god did he say?" ”

Lu Le made a helpless expression, "The ghost knows what the old man said, there are many folk river gods, there are old turtles, water snakes, and water dragons, how do I know what he is talking about." ”

I said, "Brother Lu, aren't the river gods the same as the mountain gods, they are all immortals who protect one side, why don't you seem to take it seriously?" ”

Lu Le looked at me and smiled: "How can there be so many immortals, you kid also came out of the mountains, not every mountain has a mountain god, otherwise there would not be so many strange things." ”

I smiled, "That's right, if there were river gods and mountain gods everywhere, there wouldn't be so many ghosts coming out to harm people." ”

Lu Le asked me to stop being idle, and hurry into the village to find someone to ask about the boat first.

I nodded, and walked with him to the gate of a house at the entrance of the village.

Lu Le knocked on the door of the courtyard and shouted in his mouth: "Is there anyone?" ”

A woman in the room answered twice and walked out.

When she saw us, the woman was stunned and asked who we were looking for.

Lu Le said, "Eldest sister, we want to ask you about something. ”

The woman glanced at me and Lu Le alertly.

I hurriedly said, eldest sister, don't be afraid, we are not bad people, I just want to ask if you know which family in the village has a boat?

After listening to my words, the woman's face relaxed slightly, "Oh, you ask about the boat, there is a small boat in our village, Uncle Zhang's house." ”

After that, she told us the location of Uncle Zhang's house, and let us walk along the road into the village until we turned the corner.

I thanked her immediately and just turned around.

The woman asked, "Are you looking for a boat to go to the river at the opposite gate?" ”

Lu Le nodded.

"I can't go, I can't go!"

The woman hurriedly persuaded: "I see that you are from other places, and you may not know that there is a river god in the river, and you can't go into the water recently, otherwise the river god will take his life!" ”

When I hear it, isn't this nonsense?

Lu Lecai and I swam in the water just now, why didn't there be any?

"Eldest sister, who did you listen to?"

"It's Uncle Zhang, he said that there is a river god in the river."

The woman looked at me and Lu Le seriously, "You don't know, the people in the village didn't believe it at that time, two children went to swim in the river, and one died. ”

I said, "It's not uncommon for children to swim in the river and drown, so it might have something to do with the river god." ”

"Besides, isn't the river god the guardian saint who protects the peace of the water and soil, how can he be like a terrible ghost who asks for his life?"

"Ahh

When the woman heard me, she quickly reached out and took me by the hand.

"It's not that I'm scaring you, eldest sister, I went to the river to wash clothes last month, and I saw a human head in the water, and my mother scared me to death at that time."

"There was a long, thin thread in the middle of the man's head, and it was bubbling in the water, and you don't know it, but the water was swirling with it!"

The woman seemed to be endless, and Lu Le hurriedly interrupted her and said, "Got it, let's go to Uncle Zhang's house and ask first."

After that, the two of us left the courtyard and walked in the direction of the village.

On the way, I asked Lu Le, what do you think of the matter of the river god?

What the eldest sister said just now is very good, I'm afraid it wasn't just made up to scare people.

Lu Le paused, "It's really hard to say what's in the water, it's probably something like a water snake." ”

He said that there were many strange things in the mountains, and with the addition of some people adding oil and vinegar, the black ones were also said to be white.

I let out a long sigh, hoping that was the case, or else it would be troublesome.
