Chapter 26: Old Liutou

Lao Liu Tou was very happy to eat this bowl of rice, firstly, the money was fast, and secondly, the status was high, Wang Baqiu asked him to explain his intentions, and he was not surprised, but he just looked at Wu Xie a few more times.

Wu Xie had been to that place before, and knew what kind of geographical environment it was, so he felt funny in his heart, so he quietly listened to Lao Liu Tou's introduction to the situation of Jiaogouzi.

From this village into the Qinchuan mountains and mountains, go west for seven days, there will be a Tianmen Mountain, both sides are cliffs, can not climb, but there is a peculiar crack in the mountain, can only be passed by two people side by side, that is, we often say "a line of sky", that is, the old itch said "clamp ditch", according to legend, at the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, some people in the local area saw that there was an army of the Northern Wei Dynasty through the plank road into Qinchuan, this army is very strange, no one in the march spoke, straight into the mountain. When the army passed through this mountain crevice, the mountain suddenly shook, and the huge gap suddenly closed, sandwiching the troops into the mountain, and never came out again.

When it came to the Qing Dynasty, there were a few feng shui gentlemen here to find a grave for a rich man, and they went into the mountain for more than ten days, and when they came out, they were almost not human-shaped, and they all said that there was a Huangquan waterfall in this Tianmen Mountain, which was connected to the underworld, and they almost couldn't get out when they went in.

At first, the people in the mountains didn't believe it, but later many people said that in the ditch, they heard the sound of war horses galloping in the mountains, and these things became more and more powerful. Some people also strung it together and said that it was said that the Yin soldiers of the underworld were from the Huangquan Waterfall into and out of the Yin and Yang worlds, and the Northern Wei army at the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties was the ghost soldiers who returned to the underworld from the yang.

The old man said, to the Tianmen Mountain, we can walk a walk, but after Tianmen Mountain, that is the limit that generations can reach, and then what is in the jungle, no one knows, from ancient times to the present, all the people who go inside, whether it is the Qing Dynasty's Tartar army, or the defeated soldiers of the Kuomintang, none of them have come out, he is old, he can't take me there, and no one else in the village has been there, if we really want to go, he can show us a direction, as long as he goes, seven or eight days will definitely be able to arrive, But he is not responsible for what happens after he goes in.

Xiao Liu has been observing Wu Xie, seeing that he is just listening to Lao Liu's explanation with a faint smile, not supporting or refuting, and saying in his heart that maybe what he said just now was a trick to deceive tourists in order to make more money.

Wang Baqiu thanked the old man and wanted to leave, and when Lao Liu Tou saw that he had changed his intention of hiring himself as a guide, he didn't say anything, he must stay for us to come down for a meal and then leave, during the banquet, he glanced at Wu Xie many times, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes.

Wu Xie thought Lao Liu Tou was interesting, and subconsciously joked: "Uncle, do you know me?" ”

Old Liu Tou didn't expect Wu Xie to suddenly talk to him, he subconsciously glanced at the foot of the chair on his side, and then showed a wry smile: "Has this baby been here before, it looks very familiar." ”

Wu Xie looked at the small movements of this old Liu Tou, and knew that this old man might have remembered that he and Lao Qi had come here before and asked him for directions, so he immediately responded very familiarly: "Old man, I came here two years ago, and I am very worried about the pickled meat dishes you made, are you making more for us this time?" ”

When Lao Liu Tou heard the praise, he immediately laughed heartily and said, "No problem, no problem." ”

Shi glanced at Wu Xie, who was familiar with Lao Liu, put on two pickled meat buns with chopsticks, gave Wang Baqiu one, and bit one hard, full of resentment.
