Chapter 5: The Legend of a Ghost Town
As soon as I said the word ghost town, my heart was full of excitement.
Sure enough, I know, it seems that this time I asked the right person.
But the word ghost town also makes me a little weak, although I haven't seen a ghost since I was a child, but I've seen a lot of horror movies, if it's really a ghost town, then ......
was thinking about it, but I heard Brother Hong say: "What the hell, it's just a little remote, I don't believe that there are ghosts in this world." ”
The proprietress smiled and ignored him, obviously she preferred to chat with me, Lao Hai, and Brother Hong was not in the middle of the stream on her side.
Although Brother Hong was a little angry, he couldn't do anything about her, who told people to have the information now, so he had to look at me.
I picked up the conversation and said, "Boss, tell us about this ghost town." ”
The proprietress rubbed her right hand on her forehead, saying that she was rubbing her forehead, but the posture was clearly a gesture of counting money.
I knew that this was a ticket, so I stretched out my hand to a little brother on the side and said, "Money." ”
The little brother immediately took out 10,000 yuan from his pocket and threw it to the proprietress .
The proprietress picked it up and counted out a thousand, pulled it out, and pushed the others back, saying, "That's all, my information is not worth so much, and by the way, even the food money will be settled." ”
Before I could reply, Brother Hong said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be honest in your business, I admire it." He gave a thumbs up.
The proprietress smiled coldly and said: "Either black money and black money, or morality, since it is Lao Hai, you must not eat black, right?" ”
I nodded and said, "The boss lady is so righteous, Cheng, your friend has made a deal, come, do three more." ”
At this time, the boss had already put the dishes on and sat next to the proprietress of the shop, and he didn't talk much.
Come to think of it, a woman who can be bold enough to do black business will definitely be able to lower a man.
The proprietress drank three glasses, and then said: "I tell you, don't believe in ghosts, that place, which has been rumored to be a ghost town for so many years." ”
We all came to be interested, ate the dishes casually, didn't feel any taste, and were waiting for the hostess to tell us stories.
The proprietress said: "I'll say first, this ghost town is a real ghost town, but there are indeed goods in it, according to legend, there are no more things in it, take out one or two pieces, and you will have no worries for several lifetimes." ”
Brother Hong said: "Pull it down, if it is really so valuable, I estimate that someone has already come to this place, and it will take until now." ”
The proprietress glanced at him and said, "Believe it or not, I said mine, you like to listen to it or not, and I won't return the money anyway." ”
"Listen, listen, listen." Brother Hong immediately softened and said, "You say, let's listen, don't interrupt." ”
The proprietress gave him a look that was about the same, and said: "It's really valuable, I heard that someone took three things from it back then, and then the rich side fell into decline, and it didn't fall until three generations later." ”
I felt my eyes enlarge a little, and this information deeply stimulated my mind, and the proprietress said this, paused, and it took me a long time to react and look around.
Brother Hong was even more unlucky, his eyes were about to burst into flames, and those little brothers were also very excited when they heard it.
"And then?" I saw that the proprietress was deliberately appetizing, so I asked.
The proprietress said: "Later, I heard that there were countless people who wanted to enter the ghost town, but they didn't come out, and there were some warlords who wanted to enter the ghost town before liberation, but they didn't come out. It's like a place that eats people. ”
I smiled and said, "It's really good at eating people, how can the legendary man who took the three treasures get away with his whole body." ”
The proprietress said: "That shouldn't be an ordinary person, I guess, there must be a certain ability." ”
I nodded, this is not admitted, if you go in alone and can take out something, you must have the ability.
The proprietress continued: "That's not the point, I'm going to tell you about the ghost town, which, according to legend, is under a swamp. ”
"Under the swamp?" I asked curiously, under the swamp, can we dive? And it's not water, it's a swamp.
The proprietress smiled slightly and said, "I'm just talking about legends, haven't I never seen the specific situation?" Anyway, according to legend, the city is under a swamp. I had been there a few years ago, but I only dared to stand on the edge of the swamp and look at it. ”
I smiled and asked, "Why don't you go in." ”
The proprietress shook her head and said, "Don't dare, that place is not a good place at first glance, and the legend of this place also says that there are man-eating monsters in that swamp, and you can't get out if you go in." ”
Brother Hong slapped the table and said, "Damn, Lao Tzu doesn't believe in evil, I have to touch this place this time." ”
The proprietress looked at him and said, "It's good to want to get rich, but there are so many ways to get rich, why did you choose to go to that ghost place." ”
Brother Hong said with a smile: "That place is fast, as long as you succeed ......"
The proprietress sneered and said, "Fast is fast, but if you have a life to earn, what's the use of spending without a life." Like the two of us, we have a life to earn, and we have to have a life to spend. I heard that this place is a maze, and ordinary people can't enter it at all, unless you have a master here. ”
As soon as Brother Hong heard this, he became energetic, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Boss, don't believe it, I really have a master here, do you see it, what is not lost, this kid, you can pass it at a glance." ”
The proprietress looked me up and down for a long time, took a breath, and said: "This person on the road, although it is said that people should not be good-looking, but at your age, I am afraid that ......"
I know she's looking at me young, but I'm too lazy to answer, after all, there are some things we can't say, I can't always say, I already have a map, so it's easy?
So he changed the topic and asked, "By the way, you said that a team of people went in yesterday, do they have any masters?" ”
Seeing that I didn't answer directly, the proprietress stopped asking, knowing that this was my secret.
She immediately replied, "Yes, and there should be more than one, I see that they had a few people sitting at the same table yesterday, and the topic was all about this." Oh, and by the way, there's something very special. ”
"Something special?" I asked strangely, it shouldn't be an ordinary thing to make the boss feel special.
The proprietress nodded and said, "Yes, it's very special, among them, there are two women." ”
"What's so special about a woman?" Brother Hong picked up the conversation at this time.
The proprietress glanced at Brother Hong again and said, "There are more than 30 men, and there are two women, isn't it special?" ”
Brother Hong obviously thought of something not quite right, and smiled obscenely.
I knew that the proprietress was deliberately teasing him, so she said: "There don't seem to be many women in this industry." ”
"Not much." The proprietress immediately said: "It's just rare, and I pay special attention to people like this." These two women are both beautiful, and they can also feel that I am paying attention to her, and they are vigilant, and more importantly, some of the other men are polite to them, so it is definitely not easy. ”
I nodded, I also know this kind of thing, it is definitely not easy for a woman who can mix in more than thirty men.
"Then boss, do you have any other information about this ghost town?"
The proprietress thought for a while and said, "It's nothing, the legend of this ancient city has been around for a long time, and I also listened to my grandmother, it is said that in this ghost town, there is a key to the land of bliss, and that is the treasure." ”
I heard Brother Hong next to me laugh and say, "The key to the Treasure Land of Bliss, what is the Land of Bliss?" ”
The proprietress shook her head, sighed again, and said, "I want to know, I went in a long time ago." It's just a legend, and I'm just telling you about it. By the way, I also know that I can't persuade you, so I'll just give you a word of advice here, and in that place, you can't trust anything. ”
"What do you mean?" Brother Hong asked
"I don't know." The proprietress said, "It's just that the legend has always said so, and I can't believe anything." ”
I arched my hand at the proprietress and said, "Thank you for the information of the proprietress , we will pay attention." ”
Brother Hong remembered something at this time, put his arm around my shoulders and said, "Brother, did you say that we went overnight, someone has already arrived in that place, I'm afraid ......"
"Afraid of what?" I immediately said, "Didn't the lady say that?" It's not so easy to get into, that's one thing, and on the other hand, even if they did, I don't think they would be able to get things so quickly, and there were too many things to count, right? We only need to take out a few pieces, and the brothers will divide them, but it will be enough for everyone to eat for a few lifetimes. ”
Brother Hong thought for a while, too, and then let go of me and said, "Brother, you are right, we have cultivated enough spirits, in case we follow them, we are not afraid of them." ”
The proprietress said: "Sometimes, talent is the most terrible. ”
Brother Hong glanced at him, but didn't speak, and then there was nothing to talk about, we were all silent, just eating and drinking, and chatting about something else.
But my heart is overturned, a ghost town, and I don't know what we're going to face.
After a while, the meal was almost finished, and Brother Hong asked those younger brothers to bring in all the sleeping bags, after all, the boss did not provide beds.
Brother Hong and I put together a few tables, even if we put together two high beds and put them in sleeping bags, we can still do it, but those little brothers can only sleep on the ground.
I didn't sleep very well this night, and although it was true that there was no medicine in the meal, it still made me a little scared to stay in such a black shop.
In a daze, I slowly fell asleep, and I felt as if I was flying into the air, when suddenly it was dark in front of my eyes, and a huge monster pounced on me.
I was immediately awakened, and when I looked outside, there was already a little light coming in through the cracks in the doors and windows.
If it weren't for the door panel, the room would have been lit up, and it seemed like we would have set off again.
