Chapter 3 There is something wrong with this fish
Three days later, I drove a black off-road car carrying my master and equipment, and Liu Jingao drove a white van to carry Huzi and the God of Wealth to Xiaolin Village at the foot of the 100,000 Mountain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to the locals, Xiaolin Village was a big village of more than 2,000 people before, but since the archaeological team took away the eye of the labyrinth, natural disasters and man-made disasters in this place continued, and the black dog barked at the entrance of the village day and night was very impatient (the older generation often said that the dog barked at the intersection into the village at night, which means that there are dirty things to enter the village to harm people, and the dog's eyes can see things that people can't see, so they use their barking to intimidate them), in addition, after 12 o'clock, the children are also crying for no reason, crying can cough up blood, scaring people to death. The villagers who are close to the mountain are more like enchanted people, they can't afford to be sick, hungry and emaciated, but as soon as they smell blood, they immediately look for it like mad dogs, suck blood when they see it, and bite it when they see a wound. Soon, all kinds of horrific events intensified, scaring people away. Now, the village is just abandoned ruins, and the buildings have been completely engulfed by plants.
On the way, the master told me everything she knew about Xiaolin Village and the 100,000 mountains.
After a few hours, my mind was repeatedly brainwashed by my master's superstitious stories, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, I finally arrived at the town where Xiaolin Village is located, parked the car in the backyard of a fellow villager's house in the town, and I quickly got out of the car. When I got out of the car, I suddenly felt that my ears were clean and my heart was relaxed. Then, he threw the master far away with his bag on his back and walked to Xiaolin Village.
The village has been abandoned for a long time, most of the buildings have been dilapidated, they have become nests of snakes, insects, rats and ants, the road leading to the village is overgrown with weeds, and abandoned chairs and benches are scattered everywhere. However, there is a family at the end of the village that still lives and has not left. The host is a 70-year-old woman and a little girl under 10 years old.
This old man seems to be as old as a thousand-year-old demon, with a rickety figure, a dry and wrinkled skin like dead bark, a dead and silent expression, and only eyes that occasionally or round, proving that she is still alive, and also revealing a little of the wit of a young man. At the same time, she is very enthusiastic and makes good dishes. Usually, she takes her granddaughter to fry a few side dishes for those who occasionally go into the mountains to hunt and log to make some money.
In just one week, she and her granddaughter have received forty or fifty "tourists" who have entered the mountain and made a lot of money.
When we came to her house, there were several groups of people who had just arrived today, planning to spend the night in the village, and at this time, they were all playing cards under the tree in front of the door, and they were noisy.
The old woman saw us and asked the little girl to move the table. But the table was made of pine, and it was as heavy as a stone slab, and the little girl dragged it for a long time to move it three or four meters from under the eaves.
"Huzi, go help her."
At the table where the little girl looked particularly struggling, Huzi casually raised it above her head, and then placed it heavily in the shade of the tree. The little girl looked shocked, and then ran into the house and came to our table with her grandmother with two bowls of soup.
The old woman explained, "It's a free cold soup that everyone who comes here will have." ”
The God of Wealth said politely: "Thank you, mother-in-law, business is good." ”
The old woman looked at us mechanically with those dry eyes: "There are still in the house, I'll go get them for you." ”
The soup was ready, and the five of them sat around the table to rest, discussing what to eat for the evening.
The God of Wealth is a chatterbox, and he is thirsty when he talks too much. But as soon as he picked up the soup on the table, everyone's eyes stared at him, which made him feel very strange and embarrassed.
"What are you doing? What's so nice about drinking a bowl of soup. ”
Since the God of Wealth has an opinion, everyone consciously looks away.
The God of Wealth drank the soup in one go, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then they all began to taste the soup in their hands with confidence.
Although I was thirsty, I didn't dare to drink it, looking at this bowl of clear water soup with just a few slices of chopped green onions~~ "Why do I think this soup can't be drunk." This scene is like going to be reincarnated soon. You see, we are about to enter the mountain, and we happen to drink a bowl of 'Meng Po soup' before entering the mountain, which is a bad omen. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, Liu Jingao quickly turned around and squirted out a large mouthful of soup that had been drunk in his mouth.
The God of Wealth wanted to vomit, but he couldn't: "Fourth brother, you have something to say earlier." You've killed me. ”
I said, "I'm just talking about it by feeling, not so seriously." ”
The God of Wealth suddenly felt uneasy: "Don't." When you enter the mountain, I have seen it with my own eyes. ”
As she spoke, a few people who had come back from hunting outside the village came to the old woman's door, and one of them said, "Mother Meng, we have lived in the village tonight, and we caught a few fish in the river just now, and you have done it for us." Remember to put more chili peppers. "You are busy first, and I will put this fish outside with water to 'give birth' (use clean water to let the fish spit out the sediment in its stomach)."
"Meng Po !!!"
The God of Wealth was immediately stunned, looked at the soup on the table that was drunk by himself, and hurriedly squatted under the tree to snap his throat.
I'm really just talking about this, I don't want this old woman to really be called Meng Po...... It's a coincidence that no book is written.
At this point, though, I was caught by the fish that the hunters had caught. The delicate carp were placed in the basin and scurryed, and only one golden carp was very strange. Because the water was so full, it stuck its head out of the water, lay on the edge of the basin, and looked intently at us.
I've seen a lot of weird things, and I always feel like it's looking at me with some kind of intention. A few years ago, I had a similar strange encounter. I saw a weasel staring downstairs at my second-floor window in the evening, and it was the whole summer, and I was so curious that I didn't bother him to see what he wanted to do. One day for a walk, I was standing in the weasel's position and looking at the window on the second floor, wondering what the weasel was looking at, when suddenly a gust of wind came, and the window fell without warning, almost killing me.
Today, I was stared at by another carp, and I felt a little uneasy. Usually, you may have done something wrong, and you are always afraid of retribution.
I walked over and crouched in front of the basin and stared at the fish with wide eyes: "Do you have something to say?" You're just a fish, and now, if you're a fish, accept your fate. ”
The carp's mouth closed one by one, and it spun around in the basin before poking its head out to look at me.
Master suddenly said behind me, "It seems to be crying." ”
I got up and said, "I just want to see this fish beautifully, why are you still a godwife." ”
The master squatted down and touched the head of the fish. The fish was motionless, very well-behaved, and its small round eyes trembled slightly, as if to describe its pity.
The master was pleasantly surprised: "Look! This fish must be psychic, better than my dog. ”
Seriously, I've experienced a lot of strange things over the years, and I really suspect that something is wrong with this fish.
I pointed to the fish and said, "If you really understand human nature, jump out of the basin and prove it to me." ”
The master felt that I was unreasonable: "I only said that it understands human nature, but I didn't say that it can understand human speech." If a fish can understand human speech, then it will become a goblin. How can there be fairies in this world......"
"...... Uproar"
As the master spoke, the carp shook its tail vigorously and jumped out of the water, splashing her face with fishy water.
My eyes widened, my brows furrowed, and I quickly picked up the fish from the ground and put it back in the basin.
The hunter who was resting on the side saw the scene just now, mistakenly thought that we were playing with his fish, and came over and said, "This fish is not delicious when it dies." Do young people drink? How many drinks together in the evening? ”
Looking at the pleading look in the carp's eyes, I thought that the little creature was begging me to save it, and it seemed to trust me. Then I thought, this suspicion has already arisen, and if I don't save myself when I see death, I am afraid that disaster will befall me. I said, "Uncle, can I buy you this fish for 100 yuan?" ”
The old man felt that there was nothing special about this fish, and was very surprised: "You want to buy this fish?" ”
I replied, "Yes, a hundred, I only need this golden one." My girlfriend loves this fish so much that she wants to take it home and keep it. ”
Usually when I go out, my master often plays the role of my girlfriend, so she doesn't mind me saying that. Instead, she pretended to be a well-behaved and cute girl to match me: "Uncle, I really like this fish, can you sell it to me?" ”
The uncle thought about it, and if there are fewer fish, there will be fewer snacks and vegetables, and it will not be a loss to exchange a hundred yuan and the beauty of adults.
"Okay, I'll get you a bucket to put it on."
The uncle seemed to be very familiar with Meng Po, and went into the house to find a bucket by himself.
It was about to get dark, so my master and I hurriedly picked up the fish, put it back into the river outside the village, and reminded it: "It is said that animals cultivate human nature, at least a hundred years, more than a thousand years, and they must withstand the catastrophe arranged by God. ”
The carp returns to the water, swims three times, and eventually disappears into the turbulent currents upstream.
On the way back to the village, the master recorded this experience in a notebook and said to me: "You are really about to become a master, how many strange things can you see with these eyes?" ”
I don't know this, since I started my expedition ten years ago, my eyes and mental strength have become stronger and stronger, and what has entered my eyes and thoughts, and eighty percent of them have been seen to the truth.
I didn't know how to answer Master's question, so I casually asked, "What is a human spirit?" What's the difference with a leprechaun? ”
