The ox cart stopped, and Mengli and the others thought they had arrived at the place, so they all jumped off the ox cart.

At this time, a dog came running in front, Wu Sanxing was happy when he saw it, and he patted the old man who was driving the cow and joked with him: "Old man, shall we ride this dog on the next trip?" I'm afraid this dog is enough! ”

"How can you ride a dog?" The old man laughed, "This dog is used to report news, this last journey, there is no car!" Gotta take a boat, the dog will bring the boat over! ”

As he spoke, he drove the ox cart down a slope, and several people hurriedly followed. The hills here are different from those in the south, the altitude is high, because there has been no human activity for many years, the shrubs are very dense, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of corrosive soil, and the mud is black, and sometimes it can reach your knees when you step down. A few people cut off a few branches to use as crutches, and explored the road as they walked, walking very carefully.

After descending into the valley, there was a turquoise mountain stream in front of them, five or six boats wide, and the bottom of the water could not be seen, and on both sides of the stream were high cliffs, except for a flat mountain rock where they stood, and the rest of the place was high cliffs, and the canopy of trees covered with foliage and thick shade, which obscured most of the sun, and the temperature around it dropped several degrees.

Wu Sanxing supported the back of the ox cart and asked the old man: "This dog, can swim?" ”

"What a swim! It's a good swim! The old man sat in the car and tapped the dog on the head with his smoking gun, "Donkey Dandan, go swim and have a look." ”

The dog was really spiritual, and jumped into the river with a "Wang" and swam in a circle. When he came up and shook his hair, he fell on the ground and stuck out his tongue.

Wu Sanxing and the others were happy, but Mengli frowned.

The old man looked at the sky and said to them, "It's still too early, the boatman must not have started yet, let's rest for a while and smoke a cigarette." ”

Wu Xie looked at his watch: "It hasn't started at two o'clock in the afternoon, what is your work and rest time as a boatman?" ”

"We're the only boatman here, he's the best! When he gets up and when he starts work, sometimes he doesn't start work for a day, which can kill people. The old man smiled, "There's no way, from ten miles and eight villages, just a boat family like him, he can fix it as much as he wants, and the village chief can't do anything about him." ”

"Then you still have to hold a congress, remove him, and replace him with a Lisuo?" Wu Sanxing asked him.

"We also think, you are from other places, I don't know, the mountain gods and river gods here only sell him face, as long as others enter the cave, they will definitely not be able to get out. As long as he can go over, he doesn't know how to prepare the ground. ”

"Huh? Ha ahead, you have to go through a cave? Wu Sanxing was taken aback, and immediately took out the map, and after looking at it, he seemed to suddenly realize, "It's really a river cave, how can the old man, this cave can still eat people?" ”

The old man smiled: "That's the words left by the previous generations, I can't remember clearly, I heard the family say it, but I don't know if it's true." ”

When a few people heard this, they thought that it might have something to do with the ancient tomb, so they hurriedly asked him to talk about it, and the old man saw that they were interested, and he also became energetic, and after smoking a cigarette, he gave them a chat.

It turned out that when the village was not yet, the hole was already there, but unfortunately no one knew that the two ends of the hole were open, this hole was very weird, people could not get out when they went in, and over time, the village said that there was a snake spirit in the hole, and a dark pile was made in the water, and the boat was not allowed to enter.

Then one day, suddenly a man came out of the hole and appeared on the edge of the village with a small boat, saying that he was a merchant from outside, but the people in the village did not believe him, and they all said that he was a snake spirit and wanted to kill him. Fortunately, at that time, there were several daughters-in-law from the next village in the township, and when they heard this person's Xiangxi accent, they recognized him, saying that he was really a merchant, and he went to the next village every year, and he sold all the rouge from other places.

A few sect chiefs ran to the next village to ask a few legs, and sure enough, they let him go. Since then, the cave has been as if it had recognized people, and only the boatman's family could go straight in and out, and nothing had gone wrong for hundreds of years.

"Is the dog okay?" Wu Xie asked strangely, "Didn't you use it to report the news?" ”

"Then I don't know! It is said that it has been left over for generations, and who knows if it is true. "The old man is knocking on the dry tobacco pipe on the ground." We walk very little on this waterway, there is a mountain road on the mountain, we generally walk from there, but you have too many things, this mountain has not been peaceful in recent years, always fall down stones, this does not smash down several, let's not fight for this breath, wait and so on. ”

Wu Xie looked from below, and found that the mountains here were tall, the mountains were stacked, and he couldn't see other passers-by, and he didn't know if what he said was true, Wu Sanxing listened to the old man's words and fell into a trance, he thought for a while, and clapped his hands: "Donkey Dandan, come here"

The dog was really obedient, and he ran over, Wu Sanxing picked it up and smelled it, and his face changed: "My grandma, why is this smell......

Wu Xie also picked it up and smelled it, and he coughed with a dog smell, thinking to himself, the owner of this dog is really lazy, I don't know how long I haven't bathed this dog.

Pan Zi saw it and laughed: "You want to learn from your third uncle, you are still tender!" ”

"This dead dog, why does it stink so much!" Wu only grinned evilly.

"Panzi, come over and smell it too!" Wu Sansheng beckoned.

"I, don't want it!" Panzi said, "I can't stand the smell of dogs the most, and if I vomit it out for a while, I will be ashamed." ”

"Don't be wordy, come and smell it, the smell of this dog is too weird."

Panzi had no choice but to walk over, pick up the dog and shake it in his nose, and suddenly his face changed: "This, it's a corpse smell......"

"Wouldn't it?!" Wu Xie and Gao Shao's frightened cold hair both stood upside down, and even the little brother's face changed.

“…… It's going to be fine. Mengli patted the little brother on the shoulder and smiled at him to express comfort.

Wu Sanxing lit a cigarette, looked at the dog with a frown, and said, "Bring all the guys, the cave in front of me is probably a corpse cave, cheer me up." ”

Gao Shao was a little timid, and asked softly, "What the hell is that corpse cave?" ”

"I don't know, a few years ago I also found such a hole in Taiyuan, Shanxi, where the Japanese slaughtered corpses, where there are corpse holes there must be slaughter, this is for sure, at that time it was fun to look at the experiment there, put the dogs, ducks on the bamboo row, and then set up a camera, push it in, the hole is more than a kilometer at most, I prepared a long enough cable, but when the cables are pulled out, the bamboo row has not come out, it is dark inside, I don't know where it drifted to, Later, I wanted to pull out the bamboo chop, but I pulled it a few times, and suddenly the bamboo chop turned over, and then I ...... "Wu San has a hand."

"In the end, I only saw half of the face, and I was too close to the screen to see if it was an animal or something. To pass through this kind of hole, in ancient times, there was a row of dead and living people in one go, and if it was a living thing, it would not be able to get out if it went in! However, I heard that people in a place in Xiangxi have fed children to eat dead human flesh since they were children, and accumulated corpse qi in their bodies, and when they grow up, they are no different from dead people, and even ghosts can't see him. Old man, your shipwright ancestor came from Xiangxi, right? ”

The old man's face changed slightly, and he shook his head: "I don't know! That was his grandfather's time, and there was not a dynasty. As he spoke, he looked at the sky and barked at the dog, "Donkey Dandan, go and bring your boat!" The dog whined, jumped into the water and swam to the back of the mountain.
