Chapter 70: The Talisman Fails
In the rearview mirror, Da Meng's figure stood under the old willow tree at the entrance of the village, waving at us. The corners of my mouth unconsciously rose, and I reached out a hand and waved.
In the past few years in the seaside market, I have seen a lot of sanctimony and intrigues. When you get along with Da Meng, you don't have to think too much about it, you can open your heart to your heart's content, which is really good.
"Da Meng, you stupid fork, go back quickly!" Xiaobai also waved his hand and yelled.
I rolled my eyes angrily: "You are stupid, you are not much stronger than Da Meng." ”
Xiaobai shrugged his shoulders: "I'm willing, shrewdness is reserved for outsiders." When you're with you, when you're with Dameng, it's good to be a stupid fork. Da Meng, this friend, is worth making. ”
There are times when I seriously suspect that Xiaobai's brain is not enough, but other times he can hit the nail on the head. That's right, it's really good to be heartless and heartless in front of each other.
It was nearly eleven o'clock, and at about twelve o'clock we had arrived at the county seat, which was dozens of kilometers away. Fill up the motorcycle, have another meal, and change to a white ride.
To be honest, I'm not worried about Xiaobai's driving skills. Although I ride fast, but very steady, when Xiaobai, this bastard rides, he is happy, it's like driving a rocket, ordinary people really can't stand it.
However, I was even more worried about Xiaobai looking at the map, and on the way to the county seat, he held his mobile phone and repeatedly accused me of taking the wrong road. Just kidding, this is my territory, can I go wrong?
That's right, it turns out that he looked at the map and recognized the wrong way. I definitely can't look at my phone while I'm riding, but if we follow the path he shows us, we can probably circumnavigate the globe again.
I'm in the back seat and I'm much less likely to go the wrong way. But along the way, it was a lot of trepidation, and several times I felt like I was going to be knocked off, but at the last moment, I avoided it dangerously.
When Xiaobai was riding, no matter what situation he encountered, he had only one countermeasure, and that was to go through the gas pedal. I had to remind myself in my heart that I must not let Xiaobai learn to drive in the future.
Otherwise, with Xiaobai's rampaging style and ignoring the tail, I will have to collect his body sooner or later.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the town where Shanghe Village is located. At our pace, both of us expected to be there by 3 p.m.
However, plans can never keep up with changes, because we are not familiar with the road conditions, and we will inevitably encounter some unexpected situations. Fortunately, we all broke through without danger, and we may arrive at Shanghe Village in another half an hour.
In town, I asked someone for directions. When it comes to Shanghe Village, even middle-aged people in their forties don't have much of an impression.
After all, more than 20 years have passed, and time can easily erase any trace. In the end, I found some old people and learned some information about Shanghe Village.
Shanghe Village, like Xiahe Village, is located near the river, but it is relatively remote. On the whole, there is nothing conspicuous in Shanghe Village, and it disappeared very suddenly, and now it is a barren and inaccessible place.
And when asked about the Chen family in Shanghe Village, there were still many old people who were impressed: "Yes, there is a Chen family in Shanghe Village!" It used to be a big family, but it was tossed miserably in those years! ”
"I remember that the Chen family is all Mr. Yin and Yang, with real skills, and the family is very kind-hearted, but it's a pity."
"Hey, that's going crazy. In fact, Mr. Yin and Yang is going to put it aside until now, and it is quite popular, helping rich people to see a feng shui fortune or something, that is called making money. ”
"Yes, the big bosses in our county who build houses and engage in real estate will specially invite people to look at feng shui. My nephew works as a contractor in the county, and he said that those who look at feng shui look at tens of thousands of yuan at a time! ”
Chatting and chatting, the topic is a little off-track. In their hearts, the things about the Chen family in Shanghe Village are far less interesting than the current gossip.
From the words of these old people, I have a general understanding of the Chen family's past. Our Chen family's yin-yang technique is indeed ancestral, but it was almost cut off halfway.
Originally, the Chen family was quite famous in the local area, relying on the ancestral yin and yang arts, they gained a firm foothold here, and the reputation was good.
It's a pity that in the years of the Great Catastrophe, the Chen family was criticized as a feudal superstition, which can be regarded as a middle of the family. Our Chen family has been passed down to my grandfather's generation, and it has completely fallen apart, and only my grandfather has mastered the art of yin and yang.
Later, I don't know what happened, there was a plague in Shanghe Village, and only our grandparents survived in the whole village. By the way, my dad is supposed to be alive, but I don't know what happened.
Bought some things in town, everything that should be prepared. Xiaobai and I rode our motorcycles and followed the route we asked to go to Shanghe Village.
What does it mean that man is not as good as heaven? What does it mean that the plan can't keep up with the change? On the way from the town to Shanghe Village, Xiaobai and I once again deeply understood these two questions.
It was originally a distance of twenty or thirty miles, but I rode a car for more than ten miles, and there was no road ahead! The terrain of the upper reaches of the Red River is much more complex, and next to the Red River is the mountainous terrain.
Shanghe Village is relatively remote, and no one has been there for more than 20 years, and the previous road is long gone. The two of us had no choice but to throw down our motorcycles and rush to the mountains on foot.
It was expected to be more than half an hour away, and the two of us walked until it was dark, and we had not yet arrived at our destination.
I took out my phone and looked at it, and I was dumbfounded. In this hellish place, there is no mobile phone signal at all, and the map can't be read, so I can only grope my way forward with the route I asked.
"Hey, aren't those old guys cheaters? The road is so difficult, say it sooner! We could also stay in town for one night and come back tomorrow morning. Xiaobai lit a cigarette and muttered angrily.
Then I also ordered one and took a hard bite, and my heart was a little more comfortable. In the vast night, the mountains and forests were pitch black, and it was almost impossible to see the five fingers.
The flashlight prepared in advance came in handy, I took the flashlight and shone it around, and there was a sound of "Xi Xi Suosuo" all around, which should have startled some small animals.
"You can't blame them, they haven't been to Shanghe Village for more than 20 years, and no one knows what the situation is here. After smoking, remember to put out the fire and don't cause a fire. I sighed.
Xiaobai spat out a big puff of cigarette: "Why don't we go back first and come back tomorrow?" ”
I was a little hesitant, and I didn't think about Xiaobai's suggestion myself. But it's too late, since we entered the mountain, it's already late.
It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out. The mountain road was rough, it was hard to find the way through the twists and turns, and it was night, so there was little hope for the two of us to find a way out.
"Will you be able to find your way back?" I asked.
Xiaobai frowned slightly and shook his head: "Don't you have a compass?" Anyway, just go out and be fine. ”
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, the compass in Xiaobai's mouth was actually a compass. The terrain in the mountains is complex, and sometimes the magnetic field is disturbed, and the compass is not of much use here.
Even if you can use a compass to point out the direction, you may come across a mountain stream after walking for a while, and there may be a mountain bag blocking the way. After a detour, all efforts were in vain, and we had to start again.
After I explained, Xiaobai's expression was depressed: "Damn, what should I do then?" Can only sleep in the wilderness? ”
"I feel like I'm almost there, maybe Shanghe Village is nearby, let's look for it again." I persuaded.
It's not a good idea to sleep in the wilderness, and it's true that you don't encounter large beasts in the mountains these days. But the poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in the mountains are the most deadly.
According to the plan of the two of us, we were able to rush back before dark, and we didn't have sleeping bags, tents or anything like that. Just sleeping on the ground, the mosquitoes alone are enough for the two of us to drink a pot.
If you can find Shanghe Village, everything will be much easier. Twenty years later, there may still be some houses in the village that have not been completely damaged, or at least have a place to stay.
Others may be afraid that there will be ghosts in those houses and that they will encounter supernatural events. But who am I, I'm Mr. Yin and Yang, give me a haunted house and I can sleep soundly.
Xiaobai sighed helplessly, threw down the cigarette butt that had smoked most of it, and stepped on it fiercely. After walking for more than half an hour, Xiaobai finally couldn't hold it anymore.
"No, just rest here, and look for it after dawn." Xiaobai complained and sat on the ground.
Seeing Xiaobai's panting appearance, a thought flashed through my mind. I seem to have overlooked something, I am more energetic than Xiaobai now, and now I just feel tired, and I can hold on to it if I toss for a few more hours.
Why is this happening? Because of the talisman in my body? It seems that when I feel tired, there is a warm current in my back, and that strength lifts my spirits.
But Xiaobai also has a talisman in his body, which can make him ...... No, the effect of the talisman in Xiaobai's body is only three days!
Within three days, Xiaobai's strength doubled and his energy was strong. But after three days, he will fall into weakness, and it will be difficult for him to fully recover in ten days and a half months.
The talisman in Xiaobai's body is tantamount to forcibly squeezing his potential, which has sequelae. I calculated, and Xiaobai's talisman just failed tonight!
"Xiaobai, how are you feeling?" After figuring it out, I quickly leaned over and asked.
It's all because I'm too careless, what has happened these days has made me so anxious that I forgot this important point, I shouldn't have come out with Xiaobai at all.
Xiaobai looked tired and opened his eyes with difficulty: "What...... What how? I'm fine, I'm just too sleepy, let me sleep. ”
After speaking, Xiaobai yawned, his already sleepy eyes couldn't be opened, and his body was tilted to the side. I hurriedly held him up, took out a requiem from my arms, and pasted it on Xiaobai's forehead.
As soon as the talisman was pasted, Xiaobai's body twisted, and the requiem talisman slipped from his forehead and fell to the ground. I frowned, is this a coincidence? Requiem charms don't work?
You know, not only is he physically tired now, but his mind is also overwhelmed, and using the Requiem charm can protect his soul and slowly recover.
"Xiaobai, wake up first! I'll make a cup of rune water, and you can drink it before you go to sleep. I grabbed Xiaobai's shoulders and shook it.
Since it is not possible to paste talismans, you can only make talisman water. Xiaobai sleeps now, it's a big deal, I'm on the side, but if I don't let him recover as soon as possible, I don't know how long he will sleep.
At this time, Xiao Bai suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. My heart trembled, and before I could react, he hugged me.
"Shhh It hurts, what are you doing! I jerked him away.
Xiaobai, this bastard, actually hugged me and bit me on the neck.
