Chapter 154: Overnight
As soon as the village chief said this, Li Chenfeng and Zhang Maigou became even more confused, only to hear the village chief continue: "This Taoyuan Village is also called Taohuayuan in our local area, and according to legend, it is the place written in Tao Yuanming's book. ”
Li Chenfeng thought to himself, could it be that what the tour guide in the car said before was true? It seems that this village chief also seems to have some culture, and his face is relatively kind, not like the kind of person who talks nonsense when he opens his mouth and deceives outsiders.
He didn't care whether this Peach Blossom Paradise really existed, and said to the village chief: "Even if you have a Peach Blossom Paradise here, what's the matter, why shouldn't that old lady beat people unreasonably, these are two things that can't be beaten with eight poles, you are the village chief here, you have to give us a review on the matter." ”
The village chief was about to explain to Li Chenfeng, but at this time, Zhang Selling Dog rushed to open his mouth first, and he looked a little angry and his attitude was also very aggressive.
"I said this big brother, you are a village head, and you are also a national cadre, how can you say such unreliable words in your mouth. Shangri-La? Lao Tzu is still the source of bean flowers, this writer is making up randomly, and you people in poor places are spreading it randomly, and you are blind to believe it. According to me, don't be the village chief with your little awareness, and honestly plant your land to get ......."
Zhang Maigou said as he approached the village chief, and kept gesturing with his hand, and in the end, the finger was about to poke the bridge of the nose.
Although Li Chenfeng didn't understand why he suddenly lost his temper so much, but this was definitely inappropriate for him to be so bullish on other people's territory, and he might have to beg others to stay here for the night tonight, so he hurriedly pulled Zhang Selling Dog aside and whispered to him: "Hey, I said what the hell are you crazy about, you can't be polite when talking to people." ”
Zhang Maigou grinned and said, "Are you polite?" Lao Tzu didn't scold his mother, he was already very polite. There is no Taoyuan Village in Taoyuan Village, Lao Tzu recognized it, but he said that Taoyuan Village is Taoyuan Village, where do you want to make trouble! Anyone who has read a little book knows that that place does not exist at all, so where can I find my old son and daughter-in-law? ”
Hearing him say this, Li Chenfeng understood, Zhang sold the dog all the way to look forward to the stars and the moon and wanted to see his new daughter-in-law, but the village chief said that the Taoyuan Village where Zhang Yulan was located was the Peach Blossom Spring, such an unpredictable place, basically that Zhang Yulan did not exist at all.
Even if there is really a place called Peach Blossom Spring, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to live there, so that the marriage of Zhang Selling Dogs is basically in vain, so how can he not be angry?
Li Chenfeng originally wanted to comfort him and say that this village chief may also be lying to us, after all, they look poor in this place, and the purpose of his saying this is actually the same as that tour guide, that is, to hype up the eyeballs, and then bring more tourism benefits here.
Who knew that the village chief continued to them with righteous words: "I said that you two young people don't believe it, the legend of this Peach Blossom Land has been passed down in our area for hundreds of years.
I can tell you unambiguously that not only does the Peach Blossom Paradise exist, but also that there are no living people living in it. Once the living person enters, he is not as lucky as the fisherman in Tao Yuanming's book, and after entertaining him with delicious food and drink, he will send him out, and if he enters that place, he will lose his life and will never be able to get out.
Just Grandma Zhao, who bombarded you just now, originally had two sons. A year ago, his eldest son went to the mountains to cut firewood, and he never came back, and then the second son went into the mountains to look for him, and disappeared with him. Later, someone said that the two dolls accidentally broke into the Peach Blossom Spring.
Grandma Zhao is now seventy-five, as soon as her two sons disappeared, she became a lonely old man, you just said she could not be angry in Taoyuan Village in front of her just now? ”
Hearing the words of the village chief, Zhang Selling Dog's mouth closed instantly, and Li Chenfeng suddenly felt a chill behind him, he really couldn't believe that the paradise that people have been yearning for is such a scary place, and this is just the village chief's words, so he doesn't believe it for the time being.
"The people who got lost in the mountains, there are many reasons, maybe they met a wild beast and were attacked, or they were simply lost, no matter how you say it, it's not certain that they have entered the peach blossom paradise."
The village chief shook his head and said, "Don't look at the natural environment on our side, but there are not many wild animals, and it is usually difficult to find even rabbits, let alone jackals, tigers and leopards that can attack people." Also, Grandma Zhao's two sons grew up in the mountains here, and they can get out of the woods with their eyes closed, and it is impossible to get lost.
People say that the Peach Blossom Garden is a place with long legs and can run, and they just bumped into each other.
And on our side, on average, two or three people go missing every year, so those two dolls are not the only people who have broken into the Peach Blossom Garden since ancient times.
If you really don't believe it, you can inquire about this area to the west of Changzhi County and see if anyone doesn't know about it. ”
Li Chenfeng noticed that when the village chief talked about the Peach Blossom Spring, the expression on his face was very serious from beginning to end, which really didn't look like he was joking, or playing clever to win the views of tourists.
Zhang Sellgou obviously believed it at this time, and sat directly on the ground with a sad face.
"Then what is my daughter-in-law, is it a ghost......" After speaking, she burst into tears.
Seeing him like this, Li Chenfeng breathed a sigh of relief and said to him: "We are relatively lucky to know the truth now, otherwise your daughter-in-law will marry and lose her life." ”
At this time, the village chief asked them with some doubts. "Anyway, what are you doing in that ghost place in Taoyuan Village? I've heard this brother talk about his daughter-in-law or something, could it be that his daughter-in-law accidentally broke into that place too? ”
Li Chenfeng hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "No...... No, we didn't want to find Taoyuan Village, in fact, the two of us came to travel, just now in the car heard someone talk about such a place, I feel a little curious, so I asked casually.
As for my brother, his daughter-in-law ran away with other wild men, so she was a little stimulated, and she was Shinto all day long, and you don't take what he says seriously. ”
The village chief nodded. "Oh, you're here to travel. It's going to be dark soon, and you haven't found a place to spend the night. If you don't have one, you can go to my house for the night, anyway, my family often entertains tourists, if you can give a hundred yuan, I can cover dinner for you. ”
As soon as he heard this, Li Chenfeng's eyes suddenly lit up. "Oh, thank you so much, we're worried about finding a place to spend the night."
As he spoke, he stretched out his foot and kicked Zhang Shigou, who was sitting on the ground wiping his tears. "Do you hear me, take a hundred yuan out and give it to someone."
The village chief said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's not too late to give it when you leave tomorrow." ”
So Li Chenfeng and Zhang Maigou followed him to the village chief's house, his house has a total of four tiled houses, which is very luxurious compared to other houses around.
After dinner, it was already dark outside, and since there was no electricity in this place, Li Chenfeng and they took a cool ride in front of the village chief's house for a while, and rested in the house arranged for them by the village chief.
Li Chenfeng leaned on the head of the bed and discussed the trip back with Zhang Meigou, and where to take the car had to be planned in advance. Otherwise, it will be very uncomfortable to go back to this way.
Since Zhang Sellgou learned about marrying his daughter-in-law just now, the whole person was like losing his soul, and he didn't eat much for dinner just now, at this time, Li Chenfeng told him for most of the day, and he didn't say a word.
Li Chenfeng saw that he was rolling up on the bed with his back on his back, and he sighed helplessly, and said teasingly: "Don't you have the phone number of your ghost daughter-in-law, if you really want to panic, call her, and by the way, ask them if there is a ghost son-in-law in the peach blossom garden." ”
Zhang Meigou said angrily: "I want to call her, but this is a call to the ghost and not a signal." ”
Li Chenfeng then remembered that not long after the car passed Changzhi County to the west, the mobile phone had no signal, otherwise, he really wanted to find out where that Zhang Yulan was.
Sad is sad, but Zhang sells dogs, this guy is a pig, and the thunderous snoring sounded after lying on the bed for a while.
Li Chenfeng lay next to him tossing and turning, and couldn't fall asleep, thinking of the events of the day, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
According to his previous guess, Zhang sold the dog and was deceived by others. But judging from the current situation, what is the liar trying to do, that guy who claims to be Zhang Yulan's cousin can't have collusion with those ghosts in the Peach Blossom Garden, right?
Li Chenfeng wanted to wake up Zhang Meigou and ask him for his opinion, but he immediately dispelled this idea, if this idea was really told to him, maybe he would think of somewhere to go.
In the early morning, Li Chenfeng felt cold on his body when he was half asleep, and reached out on the bed to touch the quilt and wanted to cover it, but he didn't touch it for most of the day.
He slowly opened his eyes, but his eyes were pierced by the oncoming light, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was the sun, and the sun had risen in the east facing him.
It was at this moment that he sat up suddenly, with a look of horror on his face, for he noticed that the roof of the house was gone, and that they were sleeping in a tattered ruin, surrounded by only a few crumbling mud walls.
Looking down again, the big soft bed he had slept on last night was gone, and he was now sitting on a pile of hay.
He hurriedly shook Zhang Sellgou next to him to wake up, and Zhang Sellgou was also surprised to see such a scene when he opened his eyes.
"This ...... What the is going on? ”
The two of them got up and looked around carefully, this place is still the same place as yesterday, but the intact houses they saw yesterday are now all in ruins, and it looks like this place has been abandoned for a long time, the ground is thick with dust, there are many cobwebs hanging between the broken walls, and most importantly, there is no one around now.
