After the banquet, Fangfang will take us to stay in Tunli.

The drunken Flying Fish Boy didn't want to live in the tunli.

He pulled my father aside, burped, and whispered to my father, "Director Li, this is a small village on the border line, and the conditions are poor. Besides, it is not far from Ningzhou County or Pingxiang City, half an hour's drive. Let's go to the county seat or Pingxiang City to live. ”

Wei Xiaotang was silent.

Wei Xiaotang naturally knew that the accommodation conditions in Tunli were poor, but because this was his grandfather's hometown, his grandfather lived here for more than ten years when he was young, he never disliked it, and he also wanted to return to his roots, so that his children and grandchildren must send his ashes back here for burial after he was a hundred years old.

Wei Xiaotang did not show disgust. In addition, Fangfang reminded him at dinner that someone was following him.

Where is it safe to live? He didn't know the bottom of his heart.

Ah Fang insisted, "You should live here." And you have all lived here for a month in Ningfu. ”

Several of Wei Xiaotang's cousins also echoed and said: "This is between the county seat and Pingxiang City, anyway, you all have cars, and it is convenient to go anywhere." Besides, living in Tunli, it is convenient for us to drink. ”

"Living here is also causing you too much trouble. Living in a county or urban area costs some money, but we ...... Not bad for that money. Ah Hai naturally knew that he didn't need money to live in Tunli, but he longed for the lights of the city more, and he helped his brother-in-law on the side.

Fangfang still insisted: "I arranged for you to live in Tunli, I have my own reasons, and you don't ask me why." ”

The father was silent and noncommittal. After a while, he said: "Now that we all drink, Jiuyin can't drive, and there is no substitute driver here...... In my opinion, if you follow the local customs, you can live here. ”

The crowd stopped arguing and got into the car.

We drove the car, led by Fangfang, and stopped in front of a building made of large bluestone slabs in the west of the village.

"This is our shop car, you can live here." Fang Fang said.

When everyone got off the bus and looked up, there was an ancient building made of large bluestone blocks, with three floors high and an octagonal shape. There is a large bluestone slab engraved on the big top door with two beautiful, flat and wide official scripts: car shop.

It turns out that the "shop car" that Fang Fang said should be pronounced as "car shop".

Fang Fang explained to us that the locals call it "shop car" for two reasons: first, the grammar of Zhuang language, in the word order of demonstrative pronouns, refers to objects in the opposite way of Chinese, such as the Chinese "car head", Zhuang language is called "head car"; Similarly, sows are called "pig mothers"; Fatty meat, called "meat fat"; The head of the fish, called the "head fish", and so on, and so on.

Fang Fang smiled and said that if you can't figure out this custom, it is often easy to cause misunderstanding. For example, if someone says, "I came back by the first bus today," people who don't understand Zhuang still think that the other party came back by the first bus in the morning. Essentially, he came back from the front of the car. Similarly, "head pig" refers to "pig head", if you don't understand it, you may think that it refers to the pig headed by a group of pigs. Phystomy refers to the head of a pig.

Second, the two large characters on the top of the gate were carved hundreds of years ago. The ancients read from right to left, so they read it as "car shop", and now people are used to reading it from left to right, which becomes "shop car".

Therefore, the villagers are accustomed to calling it "shop car".

We think Fong has a point.

Ah Fang told us that this shop car was actually a post station for people who passed on palace documents and military information, or for officials or merchants to and from the place where they could eat, lodging, and change horses on the way to and from the palace, and it was probably more than 600 years ago. Now the rural roads are developed, and there are many means of transportation, even if you come to Tunli during the day and go back to the county seat at night, it is also very convenient. Therefore, there are few people living in this shop car in recent years, but the villagers want to do any big things, such as discussing what village rules and regulations, they generally gather in this shop car.

In recent years, the border is peaceful, the border people of the two countries often move around, and the villagers often engage in some activities during the New Year's holidays, such as some "international competitions", or for example, which family has come to the big gang of relatives, and the family can not arrange accommodation, but they can also come here to stay. Anyway, there is air conditioning here, there is a bathroom, there is bedding, there is usually a special person responsible for management, which family has guests who need to arrange accommodation, say hello to the Tun team, you can take the key to open the door to check in.

We went upstairs and it was really in good condition, there were 5 rooms on each floor and each room had a bathroom. Although it is not as good as a high-end hotel, in a small border village, there is no shortage of options for living in such a neat and quiet place.

Quiet and comfortable nights in the countryside.

In the past few days, I didn't drink, I didn't fish, I wasn't very sleepy, I lay in bed and didn't sleep for a long time.

The moon went down, the sky was full of stars, and the whole village, in the bosom of the mountain, slept quietly. From time to time there was a sound of "oh, oh, oh" from far and near on the mountain, and my father told me that this was Guangxi's famous specialty "clams." ”

I only heard its sound, but I didn't see it, but the reason why this tun is called "clam tun" is probably a mountain full of clams.

The pure black male dog downstairs barks once or twice, and the thick and heavy wooden doors of one or two houses in the distance rub against the door shaft to make a "squeak----" sound, which sets off the whole tun more silently.

After the lights went out, I looked down and couldn't see my five fingers, but when I looked up, the sky was spotlessly washed and dotted with sparkling stars.

Tonight, for the first time, I saw the stars blinking at me.

I lived with my father in a house with two beds. After several days of long travel, my father was obviously tired, and he was poured a lot of wine at dinner, and he snored loudly soon after taking a shower and going to bed.

Supposedly, in the countryside where the air is so fresh and pleasant, and the surroundings are so peaceful, I should have slept well, but in the middle of the night, I was suddenly awakened by some strange noises around the shop car.

When I woke up, I heard something struggling around the cart, and it seemed that they were attacking the cart in waves, but every time I rushed to the side of the cart, I was kicked to the ground again, and after falling to the ground, "Wow! ——" screamed.

This repeated impact, repeatedly kicked down, repeatedly screamed, repeated every ten minutes.

It made me barely able to sleep.

I'm horrified, how can the pure black male dog sleeping on the first floor of the flying fish cub be as silent as death at this time?

I didn't dare to alarm my father and lay quietly on the bed.

Later, after hearing many screams outside, I quietly got up, crept to the window, gently lifted a corner of the curtain, and in the darkness I faintly saw five or six black shadows, which seemed to be pure black night cats, and they did not seem to be.

These black shadows, every time they were about to impact the store car, their two eyes would shoot out two red lights like fire, and when they rushed to a distance of about ten meters in front of the door of the store car, all of them suddenly "Whoa!" ——" screamed, as if something suddenly grabbed the tail and fell to the ground fiercely...... It doesn't matter which direction they charge from, no matter how far they run, how much power, how fast they run. The result of every impact is "Whew! ——" after a scream, the ashes were scattered.

I suddenly understood that every corner of the entire store car was covered with three-dimensional firepower. We were actually lying inside an impregnable fortress, and even if there were thousands of troops outside, they could not break through the line of defense of the shop car.

Fang Fang is really like a god, she really deserves to be a beautiful heavenly master!

The next morning, Fang Fang came and called us to breakfast. When she entered, her father was still washing. I walked around the shop car with her.

I whispered to her, "I saw five or six black shadows trying to rush into the shop car in the middle of last night, but they were kicked out by something every time they hit. ”

When she heard this, she looked at me in amazement.

I borrowed the courage from somewhere, and suddenly raised my head to meet her gaze and stare at her.

I saw that she had big eyes as clear and bright as the brightest star in the sky last night, as pure and unflawed as jewels.

I was mesmerized by her large, charming, clear eyes. Unexpectedly, instead of turning her face away, she came up to me, suddenly took my head with both hands, and said in a commanding tone: "Don't move, let me see your eyes!" ”

My face was hot and my breath was so short that I was almost suffocating. But she held my cheeks tightly with both hands, and looked at my eyes with wide eyes, and my rapid exhalation was sprayed on her beautiful face.

"I, I...... I'm only thirteen! "I pleaded in my heart.

"Where did you think you went?" Fang Fang put down my head and said thoughtfully: "You do have a pair of eyes as pure as jewels, your eyes are as pure as gems, plus you have been following that thousand-year-old guqin for six years, you obviously have some Taoism, you can indeed see and hear some things that ordinary people can't see and hear, such as spirits." ”

It turned out that she was deducing my ways by looking into my eyes.

"Dogs and children can see things at night that ordinary people can't." Fangfang said to herself.

"Luckily, you're all living in the car." Fang Fang said again.

Fangfang told me that if she wants to ensure our safety, she must arrange for us to stay here, don't look at this place is not as bright as the hotels in the county, but this shop car is not simple.

Fang Fang said while taking me around the shop car, our area borders Vietnam, not far from Myanmar, Thailand, including the Golden Triangle, this used to be a place where bandits were rampant and demons stirred up trouble, but for hundreds of years, many military and political dignitaries and businessmen who passed by our tun will not be harmed by bandits or demons as long as they live in this shop car at night.

Look around the shop car, and in the house, especially the two huge bronze mirrors on both sides of the gate, and the two fierce and fierce stone dogs on both sides of the gate, and the huge golden tortoiseshell specimen hanging in the hall...... And the Optimus Pillar on the top of the mountain......

When I checked in last night, it was too dark, and I didn't pay attention to this ancient post station called "shop car", and now I want to take a closer look.

A huge specimen of tortoiseshell on the wall of the hall, thirteen scales glittering.

Ah Fang said that the thousand-year-old turtle and the thousand-year-old hawksbill turtle are the treasure of the town.

On both sides of the gate, a pair of fierce and fierce stone dogs carved with bluestone, I was a little puzzled, many buildings in the city are usually lions in front of them, but here it is very strange, how can it be two big male dogs.

Fang Fang smiled, speechless. It seems to say, even if I say it, you won't be able to grasp this truth for a while.

The exterior of the whole building, especially the octagonal eaves, always looks like a steel knife is pointed at you from any direction.

"Why did the ancients choose this place to build this shop car and not somewhere else? Why did you want to build it into such a strange shape? This is all under the guidance of a master...... This is the Feng Shui pattern. The demon Gu that can break this feng shui pattern has not yet been born......" Fang Fang said coldly.
