The reason why the old cat wants to see us is very clear, he just wants to see what kind of people we are, to see if there is any value in taking us into the mountains.

In my opinion, the old cat still has some faith in ghosts and things, so he will pull two feng shui gentlemen into the team, after all, for people like him, things like feng shui and yin and yang should be linked, and the so-called feng shui mr. can probably be equated with Mr. Yin and Yang to some extent in his opinion.

Indeed, in our profession, there are many people who both practice magic and understand feng shui, but there are also many people who are only proficient in feng shui and do not practice magic techniques.

But anyway, the old cat doesn't understand this, and the reason why he took us with us is just to be able to have more security, so this time I saw us, to put it bluntly, I also wanted to see what kind of means we have.

We really didn't show the means, and we couldn't show them casually, but thanks to Li Huaishan's clever mouth, the old cat still chose to trust us, because we and he both had a common purpose, that is, to investigate what happened to Qingpizi.

I believe that except for me and Li Huaishan, the other people who followed the old cat into the mountain are just trying to make a novelty, and want to see what the deserted village where the time of death is like. The old cat naturally didn't want to take these people with him, but he was afraid that they would go into the mountains without permission, after all, these people were less vigilant than the old cat, and it was easier to encounter accidents when they entered the deserted village privately.

In other words, the other people who followed the team were all burdens to the old cat, and only me and Li Huaishan were his allies and partners, so he had no choice but to accept us.

The reason why I spent so much time meeting with the old cat was not only to win the old cat's trust, but also to win another thing, and that was to take the lead in this operation.

To keep the team safe, I had to be a useful talker, at least not a person who was completely unappreciated, at least someone who could listen to what I said and what I suggested.

Or, at least, my advice, the old cat listens.

So I tried to propose a hike, but luckily things went in the direction I expected, and the old cat accepted my suggestion.

Everyone doesn't talk much about a cup of tea, but everyone has their own little abacus.

The human heart is like this, it will always be inadvertently manifested, and when you look closely, you will find that it is extremely complex.

After returning to the hotel, Li Huaishan and I purchased food for the camp as soon as possible, Li Huaishan speculated that this time into the mountain, if it went well, it would take three days to come out, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, we prepared a week's rations.

Early the next morning, Li Huaishan and I rushed to Tangjiazhuang, but found that there was another car with a local license plate parked in Zhuangkou, this car was not an old cat's, I was curious, just saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child coming out of the village, so I rolled down the window and asked him from a distance: "Young man, is this car from your village?" ”

At this age, the child's mind is already more mature, and he stared at me for a while, probably because he didn't think I was a bad person, so he said to me in Mandarin with a strong local accent: "It's not from the village, the village cars don't stop here." ”

I shouted at him again, "Do you know whose car it is?" ”

"What are you going to do?"

"I made an appointment to meet here, and I want to ask if they came first?"

"Then you're late, the four of them have already entered the mountain, and before entering, they also bought an old rooster and a soil dog from the village."

As he was talking, someone on the other side of the field beckoned to the young man, but the young man didn't stop any longer, and ran towards the field.

I retracted my neck back into the window, and Li Huaishan said on the side: "This car should be Hu Nanqian's." ”

I shook my head: "It shouldn't be, there are four people on the other side, listen to Hu Nanqian's meaning, this operation, she is planning to hide in the shadows, it is impossible to bring so many people, let alone enter the village so swaggeringly, and buy things from the villagers, for fear that others will not know that she has been here." ”

Li Huaishan: "You say, what do those people do when they buy old roosters and local dogs?" ”

I stopped the car and looked out the window for a long time in thought, all the while recalling the contents of the old couple's books.

The old rooster and the earth dog, I always felt as if I had seen such a combination somewhere, but I couldn't remember it for a while, until I accidentally saw someone on the other side of the field plowing the ground with a hoe, and a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind.

"I remember, the Lingbei bandits have a habit." I said to Li Huaishan: "Before they go to the tomb, they must sacrifice the dead in the tomb with chicken blood and dog blood." ”

Li Huaishan's eyes widened suddenly: "That group of people are tomb robbers?" ”

When I said what I said just now, an ominous premonition appeared in my heart, and Li Huaishan had such a question, and this premonition became stronger and stronger.

I nodded silently and shifted my gaze to the mountain road at the end of the village.

The Lingbei bandits, like the Shonan bandits, also became extinct many years ago, so why are they here now?

When I think of this, a name comes to mind: Fat Sea.

These thieves who entered the mountains before us may have something to do with the fat sea.

Li Huaishan asked me again: "Shall we go to the mountains first?" ”

I shook my head: "The life or death of the bandits has nothing to do with us. Okay, don't think about it so much, just wait honestly, it is estimated that the old cat will arrive in the afternoon. ”

Li Huaishan: "I'm afraid I'm afraid that I will be succeeded by that gang." In case there are no ghosts in the village, and if the tomb is easy to find, by the time the old cat comes, the tomb robbers may have already taken their things with them. ”

I glanced at Li Huaishan: "If there is no danger in the deserted village, why did Hu Nanqian follow him personally?" ”

Li Huaishan thought silently for a while, and then nodded silently.

In fact, what I am most worried about and looking forward to now is that among this gang of thieves, there can be one or two guys with powerful means, if they can eliminate the danger in the deserted village in advance, the old cat's life will be guaranteed, but if such a person exists, the ancient tomb is indeed easy to steal.

After getting off the bus, Li Huaishan and I had something to eat at a small restaurant in the village, and in the afternoon, three jeeps drove to the entrance of the village, one of which was the one we saw in the teahouse yesterday.

The old cat was the first to stop the car, got out of the car, and behind him was followed by Landmine and two other girls in their twenties, and a group of four people walked briskly towards me and Li Huaishan.

After this, two men in their thirties got out of a car in the back, and the last car stopped on the main road in the village, and a middle-aged man with a sturdy figure jumped out of the cab.

We have already seen the old cat and the mine, and behind the mine are Mia and Little September, the two girls have cleaned themselves up, and the others are carrying sturdy canvas bags, but the two of them, each with a small pink schoolbag, and scattered small trinkets on the bag belt.

When I saw the two of them in my freshman year, I couldn't help but have a headache, where did these two girls seem to be here to explore the spirit, it is obvious that they are visiting spring, although it is still winter.

The mine's backpack looks surprisingly large, and it is estimated that the belongings of the two girls are all pressed on him, but this guy's physical strength is not particularly good, and he has to stop and catch his breath every few steps.

In addition to them, the people who got out of the second car were the departing golden-collared grasshoppers and the Shonan bandits, Fat Dahai, and the people who got out of the last car were mosquitoes.

From the behavior of these people, you can basically see their personalities.

The clothes of the gnats are woven from a relatively hard material, the upper body is dark blue, the sinking army green, and the backpack is also pasted with two reflective strips ten centimeters wide, this guy from the start of the car, is a frowning look, until he approached, I found that there are three deep wrinkles in the center of his eyebrows, even if you don't deliberately frown, it also gives people a sad feeling.

Although there is a word "fat" in the nickname of Fat Dahai, the person is lean, and his clothes are extraordinarily casual, the corners of the jacket and the trouser legs are all with some dirt, and the zipper of the jacket may be broken, so it is half pulled and half open, revealing the gray and black sweater inside. You can see that the collar of this sweater is no longer elastic and has become baggy.

The last person to come to us was a mosquito, this guy has a standard Chinese face, the jacket on his body seems to have been altered, there is an open-chested stand collar similar to a windbreaker, and this guy has several beaded chains on his wrists, most of them are black or silver, but I can't see the specific material, and there is a bright silver pendant around his neck, and the pendant is a skull with a missing mandible, just exposed outside the collar.

The old cat introduced me to the people in the team one by one, and everyone greeted each other, even if they knew each other.

After this, the old cat asked me again, "Did you go over the mountain?" ”

Li Huaishan answered for me on the side: "Don't worry, the experience of the two of us is quite sophisticated. ”

The old cat nodded, and said to the mosquito and the fat sea, "You put away the necklace, it is easy to hang on the branches." Can your zipper be closed? Don't leave your arms open, it's easy to hang on to things. ”

The mosquito didn't say a word, and immediately put the necklace into the backpack, and the fat sea smiled at the old cat and also closed the zipper.

The old cat looked at the two people very unhappily, and beckoned to the others: "Let's enter the mountain in column, I will open the way in front, Da Fei and Ergou will be behind." Say yes in advance, everyone will follow closely after entering the mountain, don't fall behind, if you need to go to the toilet, say in advance, everyone will stop and wait for you. ”

After saying that, the old cat turned to me again: "If there is no problem, let's go into the mountain." ”

I looked at my watch, and the hour hand was almost three o'clock, so I said to the old cat, "It's not early, let's go into the mountains." ”
