I drove to Hejiaba, Sichuan, and Yue Ling sat in the back, singing happily.

I didn't want to take her with me, one more person in the way.

But the second uncle has to let him take it, what do you want to be poor, you have to have the responsibility of a man, you are no longer a child, and you have to be responsible for what you do!

My heart says what do I do, I have to be responsible? It's as if I've cooked raw rice into rice!

He also said how dangerous it was to throw a girl there!

I thought to myself, second uncle, you are touching your conscience, isn't it more dangerous to follow us? In fact, I know his thoughts clearly, to put it bluntly, he just wants to find me a partner, so that I can start a family as soon as possible, on the one hand, I can get rid of the shadow of the past, and on the other hand, once a man gets married, he will not continue to run around outside!

I understand his feelings, but the problem is that he can't do it himself, at least not yet.

We drove to Hejiaba, and when we arrived at the border of Sichuan, we met in Panzhihua.

Because of the ghost spell on his body, his appearance has changed greatly, standing in front of his second uncle for a long time, he didn't recognize me, until finally after some explanation, he was willing to accept the facts in front of him, hugged me and cried bitterly, what is completely over, you are afraid that you will be the same as the second uncle, you will be alone in this life!

I said in my heart that I was dying, how could I still care if I was single or not, let go of my second uncle, and persuade him not to worry, maybe my brother has found a solution, and when we find them, it should be fine.

While persuading, he drove to Hejiaba.

Hejiaba is a very old village, now located in Miyi County, and there are many legends and stories in this village in terms of its roots.

It is said that on the stoves of the homes of the residents of the local villages, there is a kind of stone called "thunderbolt", and it is said that this stone was thrown from the sky when the thunder lord of heaven was angry. There are also rumors that if a woman gives birth to a child with dystocia, she will drink the "thunderbolt" boiled red soaked in water, which can play a role in promoting childbirth.

In this place, along the Yangtze River basin, there are many ancient relics unearthed sand pottery and polished stone tools, local people or people who go to investigate and travel, when walking on the ridge or in the dam field, can pick up this kind of thing, the local people are commonplace, but outsiders, all regard it as a treasure.

We traveled all the way and it took us a few hours to get here.

Since Hejiaba is more famous, the road into the village along the way is also relatively well-built, we drove to the entrance of the village and stopped, and then hiked into the village.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw a lot of travelers with schoolbags on their backs, some of them still holding various documents in their hands, as if they were recording and investigating, many people came and went, and the villagers were not surprised by outsiders, so the three of us came in and did not attract too much attention.

Walking along the path, I heard someone saying, "Take a walk, go to the river to pick up stones, there are a lot of stones washed down from the upstream this season, maybe you can catch a treasure!" ”

A group of backpackers bustled towards the village river, with a smile on their faces, we just came over and felt curious, so we quietly followed behind, wanting to see what kind of treasure the stone can make people linger!

The group of backpackers seemed to be prepared, and they all walked along the village road to the river, took out a small black bag from their backpacks, and then walked to the riverbank.

The downstream water is much calmer, there are no excessive currents, and there are no overly dangerous places.

When we stood on the shore and looked, we saw this group of people taking off their shoes and bending down into the river, and these people stepped on the river's edge and kept groping in the water.

After a while, someone exclaimed, holding a round stone in his hand, which may have been eroded by water for a long time, the whole stone was smooth as a mirror, and it looked bright, reflecting the bright light under the illumination of the sun, which was very dazzling.

"I've got a baby! I've got a baby! The young man who was holding the extremely smooth and dripping stone in his arms cried out excitedly, and the whole person was very excited.

Many people on the side of the road heard the sound and looked over, some showed envy, some showed surprise, I stood in the crowd and looked at it, and felt that there was a bit of similarity at that time, when suddenly the second uncle patted me on the shoulder, pointed in a certain direction, and whispered: "Have you noticed that person?" It seems to be a little different. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and when I followed his gaze, I saw an old man standing behind the crowd of onlookers by the river.

The old man's eyes were fixed on the backpacker with the stone in his arms, and his eyes were very complicated, with a little contempt and ridicule, and even some contempt.

He stood behind the crowd, the content in his eyes seemed out of place with the crowd around him, if he didn't notice it, it was nothing, if he looked closely, he would find that this old man was not the same kind of person as them!

Years of experience have taught me that this old man has something to inquire about.

My second uncle and I exchanged glances, and then the three of us walked around the crowd to the rear and looked at the old man.

He stood in the crowd and stared at it for a moment, then turned away with a look of displeasure on his face.

"Keep up with him." The second uncle hurriedly followed him when he saw him, and there was a large crowd at the moment, and it was almost difficult for us to be found after him and tourists, so I didn't worry.

I thought he was going back to the river, but he turned back halfway and suddenly turned onto another very hidden path.

The path is buried in the forest, so it is difficult to see from the outside, and if you are a regular tourist, you may not find it possible to walk here.

The old man stood at the mouth of the woods, and looked around sneakly, as if he was afraid of being followed, and after watching for a long time, he saw that he didn't pay much attention, so he got into it.

We hid to the side, and when we saw that he was mysterious, we felt that something was wrong.

"What is this old thing up to?" When the second uncle saw this scene, his brows furrowed, and he said, "Come and have a look." ”

The second uncle was sensitive to this kind of thing, and he stood at the mouth of the forest and waited for a few seconds, making sure that the old man might have walked away some distance before he got in.

Yue Ling and I followed behind, waiting into the forest without saying a word, and suddenly felt a sense of coolness.

The trees are lush and green, and even in broad daylight, the dense foliage overhead keeps the sunlight out.

Walking in it, from time to time there is a wind blowing from nowhere, and the wind is a little damp, as if it is mixed with water mist, blowing on people's faces, making people feel wet.

We walked along the path, and after walking for a while, we saw the old man's back appear in the woods.

He would be completely different from the previous appearance, as if he had changed into a different person, with a whistle in his mouth and a slow pace, as if he was very comfortable.

We followed him for a while, and then we heard the sound of running water not far ahead.

The old man passed leisurely in the direction of the sound of the water, and when he reached the river, he suddenly took off his shoes and jumped into the river.

A few of us were puzzled and didn't know what was going on, so we hid in the grass and snooped.

"What is he doing?" The moon spirit hid behind me, sticking her head out to look.

I saw that she wanted to poke half of her body out, so I hurriedly reached out and pulled her head back, and said angrily: "Why are you stretching your head so long?" ”

Maybe I used too much force, she looked a little angry, rubbed her head and said, "What do I want to do!" ”

"What if I find out?" I laughed angrily at her and said, "Let's all die!" ”

“… Die? As soon as I said this, her face suddenly became frightened, she looked at me, turned her head to look at her second uncle, and her expression was shocked: "... Are you sure? ”

The second uncle patted me angrily and said, "Don't talk nonsense, look at the scare of people, even if it is discovered, can this old man kill all three of us by himself?" ”

As we talked, the old man searched for a long time in the river, and suddenly as if he had found something, he exclaimed, "Found it!" ”

I turned my eyes to the sound and saw the old man standing in the middle of the woods, holding a large stone in his hand.

The stone is pitch black, but the surface is very smooth, like a mirror but not like it, glowing but not reflective.

It is said that there are some similarities with the stones picked up by those backpackers before, but they are not all similar, and this stone makes people feel indescribable.

I even felt a little familiar, and I didn't know it, so I hurriedly turned my head to look, but suddenly found that my second uncle's face seemed to be a little wrong, and his eyes were staring straight at the black stone in the old man's arms, and his expression was very strange!

He seemed to be a little nervous and a little dignified, and I was just about to ask him what was going on, when suddenly the second uncle suddenly got up and rushed towards the old man with wide eyes!
