As soon as he heard that he was going to the river, the driver suddenly patted his head and said that if we were over there, we would have gone wrong, and we should have turned right at the previous intersection, but we should not go this way.

The last intersection is two kilometers away, and the middle of the road is also separated by a green belt, so it is impossible to make a U-turn.

"Is there any intersection ahead where I can go?" I asked.

The driver's uncle replied that there was, but it was almost seven kilometers away, why don't I drive around it quickly?

"It's too late." Yuan Jinzhu muttered, opened the door and got out of the car, went to the side of the road and looked over there.

As soon as I got out of the car and walked to the side, he said to me: "That little thing may not stay over there, but to be on the safe side, don't lose the target easily, I'll follow you from this side first, you go around and wait for me, if it doesn't stop, it can pick me up by the way." ”

After saying that, before I could react, I jumped off the roadbed, along the rather steep rocky slope, and rushed straight to the river below.

Seeing this, I had no choice but to shout in the air to pay attention to safety.

Since then, I have to swim across the Ziyuan River, and my water and physical strength are not enough, even if Yuan Jinzhu draws a light talisman on my back, it is difficult to keep up with his speed, rather than dragging my feet, it is better to go around to the front to respond.

In an instant, Yuan Jinzhu had already gone to the riverside, and after a slight pause, he jumped into the icy Ziyuan River with a pop.

I couldn't help but clench my fists as I watched him be swept downstream, disappearing in the blurred night and currents, as if he would be swallowed up at any moment.

Fortunately, although the river is urgent, this guy's water nature is not covered, although it keeps drifting down, it also swims to the opposite bank little by little, and gradually crosses the center of the river and approaches the opposite bank.

And at this distance, under the influence of the street lamp on the highway, I couldn't see him at all, and I waited faintly anxiously for a while, just when I wanted to shout a few times to see if there was a response, the other side of the river, which had been staggered by a hundred meters from the diving position, lit up a little faint light.

Seeing that he had successfully landed on the shore and knew that the signal was sent back, I was immediately relieved, and I didn't delay any longer, turned around and got into the taxi, and asked the driver to drive forward as fast as possible.

On the other side of the river, Yuan Jinzhu, after turning off the flashlight of his mobile phone, stuffing it back into a plastic bag, shaking the water on his body, also quickly climbed onto the river bank and went straight to the distant lights.

Under the driver's uncle's best efforts to cooperate with the accelerator, the seven-kilometer road ran to the beginning of more than three minutes, turned right along the intersection, and after seven or eight minutes of driving, there was a three-way intersection in front.

The taxi turned right again, after going forward for a hundred meters, there was a lantern in front of it, antique, lying on the carved gatehouse on the highway, above the doorway for vehicles to pass, there was a huge black plaque hanging, and there were three big characters of "Xiyuan Village" written on it.

It is said that when Yuan Jinzhu got off the bus just now, the lights in the distance were like a galaxy, which looked a little familiar, and it turned out to be the famous Xiyuan Village.

Xiyuan Village is more than 30 kilometers away from the city center, is a large village composed of ethnic minorities, the terrain is excellent, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the ethnic characteristics are distinct, in the early years, it is indeed like the existence of a paradise, with the later tourism development, it has become a primitive ecological scenic spot, it is encircled to sell tickets and charge, it is full of commercial atmosphere.

After passing through the gatehouse and driving along the brand-new asphalt road that circles the mountain for more than ten minutes, we came to a huge parking lot at the foot of Xiyuan Village.

Further on, there is the ticket office, where vehicles cannot enter, and tourists can only enter the village by sightseeing bus.

In the early hours of the morning, the endless stream of Xiyuan Village, after the hustle and bustle of the day, has fallen silent, and the lights all over the mountains also seem very quiet, like a little starry.

After getting out of the car, I called Yuan Jinzhu.

However, he didn't answer several calls in a row.

I don't know where the target is, and Yuan Jinzhu's location is not clear, no matter how anxious I am, I can only wait in this place first.

Seeing that I kept walking back and forth, looking at the village on the hill and not calming down, the driver's uncle, who got off the bus together, simply talked to me, distracted me, and was so enthusiastic that he was like the uncle who asked us to get off the bus with a blank face at the beginning.

After a few words next to me and something about Xiyuan Village, he asked me, little brother, you can't be chasing those things, are you?

Rao didn't have the heart to chat, and when I heard this, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

At this moment, looking at his clear expression, it is natural to see what "those things" refer to.

Co-authored this uncle, not only guessed that we were not chasing people, but also not birds and beasts, and he was not afraid at all.

Or even so cooperating with us, could it be because of this?

When did the taxi driver gossip to this extent?

Seeing that I was stunned and looked at him, the driver's uncle smiled and said, "Little brother, you really can't remember me?" ”

I couldn't help but be stunned again.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't remember me, I can just remember you." Seeing that I couldn't remember, the driver's uncle stopped selling Guanzi: "A week ago, I pulled you over there in Dongcheng Old Street, and there was a beautiful girl with you at that time, and there was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old baby, the girl said that you were a ghost hunter, and I also told you a story." ”

It dawned on me that I remembered.

It turned out that the person in front of me was the uncle who didn't believe in ghosts and gods that night, so he joined our topic and told a story about "Footless Beauty in the Crematorium".

No wonder he was still asking us to get out of the car a while ago, and after a while, he was unguarded and dared to take my cigarette and smoke, daring to recognize me.

This world is so small!

"Hey~ remembered, right?" Seeing that I suddenly realized, the driver's uncle suddenly laughed: "It turns out that you are really Mr. Taoist who catches ghosts, I thought it was a joke that night, but I didn't expect to meet again tonight." It's really fate, I didn't recognize it at first, and it wasn't until you threw out the wad of money that I felt a little familiar with you. ”

Since it is a "destined person", I have already guessed what we are doing, and it is not very appropriate to ignore it again, so I had to temporarily put away my anxiety, smiled and said, it turned out to be you, sorry, I didn't even recognize it.

"It's normal not to get in the way, it's normal not to recognize it, who would have nothing to pay attention to a rental." The driver's uncle is also a cheerful person, smiled indifferently, and then changed the conversation and returned to the topic: "Little brother, since you have known each other, then you have a thorough understanding, are you chasing those things?" ”

Seeing that he was not afraid of this, but was interested, I stopped hiding it and nodded yes.
