"Witch ...... Nine? Ding Xiaocong was stunned.

"Whoa!" Jiu Yi jumped up and agreed, and said with a smile: "My family is the authentic surname 'Wu', the ancestral residence is in Wu Village, the old man in the family said, we are all descendants of the four witch girls, do you want to see the mother?" Look for me! ”

The more the three young men listened, their eyes brightened, and they jumped up with joy, this is really a nowhere to find the iron shoes, it is no effort! The witch's descendants have appeared!

"Hurry, hurry! Tell me quickly, where is the witch girl? Ding Xiaocong hurriedly pulled Jiu Yu over and pressed her to the edge of the table.

After a while, the four of them sat down around the table and looked at Jiu Yu with anticipation.

In the eager eyes of everyone, Jiu Qi did not have stage fright, cleared his throat, and began to talk about the past of their Wu family.

In this vast Wu Mountain, there are dangerous mountains in the world, and there are many small villages in the mountains that are almost isolated from the world, and Wuzhai is one of them. According to the old people in the village, they were the descendants of the witches, because they were still a matriarchal society at that time, they didn't even have a surname, and later, these people took "Wu" as their surname.

Incredibly, the people in the village said that this inconspicuous village has experienced more than 5,000 years of wind and rain, and one has continued to this day, until more than ten years ago before moving into the county town of Wuzhong.

"A stockade of more than 5,000 years!" Several people are dumbfounded, this can't be bragging, right?

Jiu Qi was interrupted, and glanced at the four of them angrily, "You don't believe it, so what do you ask me for?" Down! ”

Seeing that people were angry, the four of them hurriedly comforted them, and finally coaxed them to ease.

"That village, I lived in for several years when I was a child." Jiu Qi began to narrate again.

Wuzhai is located on a mountainside, there is no heaven or land, naturally there is no way to grow crops, and the village has only one income - witch salt.

Since time immemorial, salt has been the most important commodity and indispensable.

Although the sea water can produce salt, but the kind of salt people can not eat, the ordinary people eat well salt, that is, the salt steamed out of the salt well water, in fact, the witch salt of Wushan, strictly speaking, also belongs to this category. It's just that the witch salt here is steamed out of the salt brine in the mountains, and it is an ancient method, with excellent quality and many special effects.

In ancient times, salt, as a "strategic material" related to the national economy and people's livelihood, has always been controlled by stewards. However, there are officials and private people, and the private salt of the past dynasties has been repeatedly banned, and this witch village is quite nourishing by relying on the production of private salt.

This thing is a huge profit!

However, in modern times, the large-scale production of salt was promoted, and the witch salt produced by the ancient method gradually lost the market, and the witch village gradually fell into dilapidation, and finally it was difficult to support it more than ten years ago.

"Every family there worships Niangniang, and it is said that Niangniang lives in that mountain." Speaking of this, Jiu Qi lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "When we were originally in the village, we had to invite Niangniang on the third day of March every year, and I told you that I was a Niangniang when I was a child!" ”

"You? Witch Girl? Guo Yunxiang didn't know why.

Jiu Mi's expression became rare and serious, and he shook his head and said, "I can't tell, but I know how to do it." ”

At this point, all four of them pondered.

Jiu Qi looked at the four of them inexplicably, "What are you doing?" Playing a pantomime? ”

The four of them were startled, and at the same time they woke up and exchanged glances.

It was Hua Hongying's turn to play again, he put on a gentle elder posture, and asked with a smile: "Sister, are you okay with this time?" ”

At the mention of this, Jiu Mi's face was gloomy, "The Phoenix is gone, I'm still waiting for the company's arrangement at home, my back hurts." ”

When I heard that the girl had nothing to do at home, the big guy's face was happy, there was a door!

"That'...... Can you ask my sister to accompany us to the old village? We can pay for this amount! Hua Hongying paused when she said this, stretched out a hand and shook her five fingers.

Jiu Mi's face was overjoyed, and he exclaimed: "Five thousand! ”

"Fifty thousand!" Ding Xiaocong cut the end of the sentence, and then pointed to Hua Hongying, "He ...... out of this money."

Hua Hongying's face immediately became bitter, and she glanced at Ding Xiaocong sadly.

…………

The next day, early in the morning, Wuzhong County long-distance bus station.

Ding Xiaocong and his entourage of four people carried mountaineering bags, stood at the entrance and exit of the car and waited anxiously, it was already eight o'clock, and the ninth group had not yet come.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Guo Yunxiang, who had been stretching her neck to look, was overjoyed, pointing to the way she came and shouting.

I saw that on the street over there, Jiu Mi was wearing a blue cloth shorts and pants, cloth shoes, leggings, and a big canvas bag on his back, his face was red, and it seemed that he had rushed all the way.

Her outfit may be a little strange elsewhere, but it is very common in Wushan, a typical mountain folk dress, and it is often seen on the streets. Not to mention, the pungent Jiu Mi is dressed like this, and she has the charm of a mountain girl, and the eyes of the two men, one big and one small, are straight.

Just when Ding Xiaocong was distracted, someone behind him shouted softly in a slightly ballast-like voice, "Big brother? ”

When going out, men call eldest sister, women call eldest brother, this is the habit of people who run the dock, Ding Xiaocong felt that this voice was a little familiar, and when he looked back, he was so shocked that he almost jumped.

The person who came was a teenager, who looked slightly smaller than Ding Xiaocong and the others, thin and small, with a little dark skin, wearing a decent dark stand-up collar outfit, and carrying a large travel bag common to travelers on his back. This is actually the fortune-telling boy that Ding Xiaocong once funded - Liu Wencai.

At that time, when he was playing Tongxiang, Liu Wencai shocked Ding Xiaocong with his fortune-telling skills, and he was shocked, but he didn't expect to meet again in the depths of Wushan thousands of miles away, which is really ...... What a coincidence!

After Liu Wencai saw that it was indeed Ding Xiaocong, he showed a mouthful of white teeth, smiled heartily, and hugged his fists and said: "I got up early and had a premonition that I would meet the old man, but I didn't expect it to be you, the eldest brother!" ”

When he met his old friend in another country, Ding Xiaocong was also very happy, and hurriedly grabbed Liu Wencai's hand and looked up and down.

The young man grew a little taller, but seemed to be thinner, and he must have suffered a lot along the way, with dust on his face that could not be washed off. Today's teenagers, when they were his age, were still asking his family for pocket money, but he had already walked most of China on his own.

From the northeast to Hainan, and from Hainan to this Wushan, how far away is not only thousands of miles, I can't believe how he came alone!
