Chapter Seventy-Seven: Shennong Valley
"It's still the little dragon king who is good to me, Brother Kan remembers it." But Brother Kan still can't seem to stop his beating heart.
Longgang beckoned the boss over and asked, "Boss, are there any locals in the neighborhood who are guides?" ”
"Yes, there are indeed a few families in the nearby Qingfeng Village who are responsible for working as guides, you can go there and have a look."
After eating, the four of them took the shaved potatoes and drove to Qingfeng Village, which is not far from Muyu Town, a simple and elegant mountain village, adjacent to Muyu Town, with scarce arable land resources, several villager groups, dozens of households, and the whole village's economy is supported by planting and breeding and labor economy.
The four of them entered the village, although the village and Wolong Valley are one in the sky and one underground, they are all simple and warm, Long Ziyan asked a villager who is the guide, and the villager pointed to a courtyard not far away and said, "Lao Li Tou is." ”
Came to the yard, there is only an old man in the courtyard is chopping wood, it must be the old Li Tou that the villagers say, the old man does not have much meat, dry and thin like a dried fish, the posture and strength of chopping wood are not proportional to the thin body, the tan is a dry and tanned face, with a short and hard mustache, the skin is wrinkled, a pair of brown eyes are deep in the eye sockets, and the eyes reveal the perseverance like a mountain.
Brother Kan looked at Lao Li Tou from a distance and asked: "This age is too old, let alone sixty, can this body work?" ”
"Longgang, what do you think?"
"Look at him doesn't feel old and old, more like a strong body, the older he gets, the more knowledgeable he knows, and we can also get more information, and then see that this person is obviously chopping wood, and his eyes can't stop glancing at us, but people are indifferent, and he feels that he is shrewd in his heart, and he is secretly pregnant, and then he is convinced to be our guide."
Long Ziyan couldn't help but cast a surprised look at Longgang, just glanced at it a few times and saw through Lao Li Tou for seven points, which was really admirable for his keen ability and no insight.
The four of them walked into the courtyard, Lao Li Tou still didn't stop the axe in his hand, and the purple kite asked on the side: "Hello old man, we want to ask you for a favor." ”
"Mos (what)? Help? The old man stopped his axe. Help mes? ”
When the old man stopped the work in his hand, he saw that the old man's shoulders were very strange, the person was very old, but the shoulders were still very strong, the neck was still very strong, the palms of his hands were grinding out a few thick calluses, and his face was wrinkled, like a twist and turn of the past.
Purple Kite continued: "I heard that you are still a guide, we want you to take us to the Shennongjia forest area to explore a risk, we will pay you, can you go 5,000 trips?" ”
Five thousand is already a sky-high price for a person who is a guide here, not to mention that it is only a day or two, Lao Li Tou is still a little hesitant, "Is this...... You don't want to fight the box (a few people collude), Mao ruffian (cheating). ”
The purple kite turned her head and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Longgang and Longzi looked at each other, and Brother Kan said coldly: "Say that we teamed up to deceive him." ”
The purple kite waved her hand again and again and said, "Old man, we didn't lie to you, it's true, if you can't do it, we can pay you half." ”
Lao Li Tou was unmoved, and still refused to say: "The strip is not in the god (the body is not good), and it falls big (suffers)." ”
Brother Kan asked quietly: "What is this old man going to do, obviously he has a solid body, and he is still unwilling to do it." ”
Long Zijing said: "Is it really too old to withstand the toss." ”
"No," interrupted Long Gang, "he just saw that we were generous, and pretended to refuse to make us pay more." ”
"So what to do?"
"Tell him to add another two thousand, and if it doesn't work, he'll leave."
Brother Kan said to Lao Li Tou: "Add another 2,000 to you, and if you don't do it, we will find someone else." ”
",!" When the old man heard that there was another two thousand, he immediately changed his tone and agreed, "I don't know where you are going?" ”
Long Zijing said: "From Shennong Valley, follow the Zizhu River to the southwest until we reach our destination. ”
"From the Zizhu River all the way to the southwest, that's ......" The old man suddenly looked frightened, waved his hand and refused, "No...... No...... You can go, but you can't go there, it's deserted, there are wild beasts everywhere, people are forbidden to enter, no, it's too dangerous, you can't go. ”
"What the hell is there, please tell us what you know?"
The old man was still frightened, "I can't go, there are all kinds of things there, and if I go, I can't get out." ”
Longgang on the side was really impatient, and said loudly: "We can guarantee your safety, and we will pay you 10,000 yuan after the matter is over, how about it?" ”
When the old man heard this, he said, "Ten thousand seventeen, I'll take you there." ”
Brother Kan was at a loss when he saw this, "Okay, it's really money that can make ghosts grind, and it's not you who dare to pay for it." ”
When Lao Li Tou calmed down, Long Zijing asked, "Old man, is there anything special about the southwest of the Zizhu River?" ”
The old man took a long breath and said: "The environment there is too bad, and the further you go southwest, the more dangerous it is, I have also heard from people of a longer generation, saying that there is a king of Chu buried in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is said that there is a god to protect it, and mortals there are not allowed to offend, do you want to go there to do it?" ”
Long Zijing decided to temporarily conceal Lao Li Tou and said: "Old man, we are just going to play and explore a risk, you can help us lead the way along the way, just tell me more stories about this old story in Shennong District, we just have a long experience, if there is danger, we will come back, and the money will be returned, how about it?" ”
"Then this dare is good, when are you going to go, I am also prepared."
"The sooner the better, go early and come back early."
"Okay, okay," Lao Li Tou instantly came to his senses, took the five thousand yuan prepaid by Brother Kan and carried the axe into the house, and said with a smile: "Come to big business." ”
Ten minutes later, Lao Li Tou changed into clean clothes, carrying a mountaineering bag on his back, and the bulging bag was full of things, after all, people are also specialized in being guides, or quite professional, looking at Lao Li Tou's strength at such an age, it is even more embarrassing.
"You're coming by car?"
"Oh yes."
Lao Li Tou was also happy, "That's much more convenient, I know where there is a small road near the village that can quickly reach the Zizhu River Basin under the Shennong Valley, just listen to my command and drive." The old man put his things in the back box, the purple kite drove, the old man commanded the direction in the co-pilot, and the three of Long Ziyan and the luggage were crowded behind.
Shennong Valley is located on the west side of Shennong Peak, because of the scenery of the deep valley and called it "Scenic Ya", the car drove to a barren and populated valley connected with Shennong Valley outside Qingfeng Village, five people got off the car, came to the mouth of Shennong Valley, looked at it, mysterious and deep, clouds and mist transpiration, the weather is thousands.
