grabbed him: "Mazi, tell me the truth, have you ever been to this place?" In other words, the owner of this house took the map and looked at it for a long time, and Mazi asked me: "Xiao Gu, do you know why no one has lived in this place for so many years?" ”

I was stunned for a moment and pointed to the surrounding woods: "Such a large area of primeval forest, plus this land doesn't seem to be too fertile, so there is no need to develop it!" ”

"Impossible, this place is so close to Xi'an, Xi'an and Xianyang are almost connected, if there are no special circumstances, this place will definitely live, but two thousand years have passed, so a large urban agglomeration, there is only such a forest left, don't you think it's strange?" Asako suddenly became thoughtful.

I nodded: "Then you say, why?" ”

Asako shrugged: "I don't know." ”

Seeing that I was going to kick him, Mazi hurriedly waved his hand: "When I came over just now, I saw a small mound over there, and there was an inconspicuous cabin under the mound, I thought it was a distant village that came to cut firewood and built it there, now I think it's not right, it's all in this era, and it's so close to Xi'an and Xianyang, there is no poor place at all, who still uses firewood!" ”

"So what?" I looked at Mako with disdain: "Now go and see?" ”

"Anyway, it's not far away, go over and have a look!" Asako locked the pickup truck and walked over with a backpack.

I looked around, and I always felt that Mazi called me here this time as if it was premeditated, but since I came, let's figure it out.

After walking for about half an hour, I actually saw a small mound less than ten meters high in the depths of the forest.

"Hmm-" I stood up and took a deep breath: "Do you know Mazi, I like to travel the mountains and rivers the most, but I haven't come out a few times after so many years, and the one in my family likes it too, I always feel indebted to her, and now I don't have much time to work." This place, the scenery is good, the environment is elegant, quiet and comfortable, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the trees are verdant, if you can build a house here, the wife and children are hot on the kang, the stick rice is a big bowl of tea, how beautiful! ”

"Poof!" Mazi was drinking water, and squirted out: "You can pull it down, we are here to hunt for treasure, not to express our feelings!" Do you see it, just go around and you'll be there. ”

Alas, it's terrible to be uneducated.

I shook my head and followed Mako around the small mound, and I really saw a wooden house. This wooden house also

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) is exquisite, the area is not large, the top of the wooden eaves, there are still several tree stumps around, the largest stump carved a chessboard, it seems that it is indeed inhabited.

Mazi is going to come forward and knock on the door, don't I know? ”

With a "snap", Mazi knocked off my hand: "What? You don't believe me? ”

"Hmm!" I nodded.

"Alas!" Mazi cried with a sad face: "Do I need to lie to you?" ”

I rolled my eyes, waved at him, and motioned for him to come up and knock on the door.

It would be impossible to say that I believed in Mako, but I really couldn't find any reason to doubt him. Although this person is quite hateful, at least the purpose is very clear: I came to seek wealth and nothing else. Unlike the Seventh Master, it seems to have said a lot to me, but none of them are on the point.

Mazi knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered in the house.

I was about to take a look, but Mako reached out and pushed the door open.

The two of us looked into the house together, and saw that the furnishings in the house were simple, clean and elegant, and there was a pot of tea on the wooden table, because it was late autumn, the temperature was not high, and the tea was still floating with a faint heat, which seemed to have not been soaked for long.

"It's a really good place." Mazi stepped in and sniffled: "Hey, it's good tea!" It smells so good! ”

I saw that Mazi admired the aroma of this tea so much, and hurriedly walked in and sniffed, not to mention, this tea smelled a faint aroma, and it was not clear what the specific taste was for a while, but from the nose into the body, this way was warm and cool, indescribable pleasure.

"Have a drink!" Mazi couldn't help but say.

I hurriedly grabbed him: "What if it's poisonous?" ”

"Damn! In this deep mountain and wilderness, no one knows that we are coming, why do you want to make a pot of poisonous tea and wait for us?! ”

I thought about it, and the fragrance of this tea was really refreshing, so I nodded, and let the pockmarks go over to pour the tea.

As soon as the teapot was picked up, a burst of singing suddenly came from outside:

My sister sings my brother's chorus,

Brother and sister are the happiest when they sing, Ayi, ah, ho, ho-

Brothers and sisters are the happiest when they sing,

sang so that the two of them were beautiful, Ayi, ah, ho, ho-

The song was rough and loud, and although I didn't hear what it was, I couldn't help but hum two sentences along with the rhythm.

"Where's the ballad?" The hand of pockmarks pouring tea stopped

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) stopped and turned his head to ask me.

I shook my head: "I don't know. Haven't heard of it. ”

Mazi's face was full of disdain, as if he was saying, "You are in vain in college"!

I turned to the window, looked out, and saw a figure in the woods not far away, carrying something on his back, and from a distance he looked athletic and light.

"This is a practitioner." Mazi didn't know when he came to me, and he also saw the figure: "There are really living people in this place!" Listening to this person's accent, it looks like he is from southern Yunnan, maybe he is still an ethnic minority, how can he appear here?! ”

"Isn't it nice for us to be here?" I turned to go out the door.

Mazi dragged me, thought about it, waved at me, and motioned to go out together.

By the time we both went out, the man was already on the chessboard.

Seeing me and Mazi, the man was stunned and took off his straw hat.

Seeing this person's face, I felt a stir in my heart: this is an old man! The sparse white hair is tied into a small braid and coiled behind his head, skinny as wood, his face is yellow as sand, the folds on the skin are covered with layers, and the white eyebrows that are more than a finger long are on both sides, no matter how he looks like a person who is about to enter the ground!

Such an old man walked like a fly, walking dozens of meters in a few breaths!

"Who are the two?" The old man was the first to speak, and his voice was crisp, not at all like a man who looked like he was about to enter the ground.

"Oh, we're buddies!" Mazi smiled: "Do you know the donkey friend? I love outdoor sports! Knowing that there was a forest here, we drove over, and then the car broke down, and we both looked for help, and we saw this house coming! ”

The old man laughed: "Okay! It's been a long time since I've been here, come in with me for tea! ”

I subconsciously touched the back of my head, and I didn't feel cold, so I was sure that the old man was a living person, and walked in after Mazi.

The old man poured tea for the two of us, and he went to the side and scooped a scoop of water in the jar with a scoop, and drank it: "Ha! This is the well water behind the house, I have been drinking it for decades, sweet! Taste my tea! ”

I glanced at Mazi, took a sip of tea, and smacked my mouth: "It's so fragrant!" ”

The old man's face bloomed with joy, and he walked up to us and asked, "What are you doing here?" People nearby have an unwritten habit that no one dares to come to this forest! ”
