No. 0394 Claw marks
Leaving the hotel, in order to thank us for our help, the store money for that night was saved, I found a car to negotiate the price and went straight to the county, from the county I found a local car to solicit customers and spent double the price before that person was willing to go, and finally left the three of us on the side of the road two kilometers away from Tianqiao Town, Scarface and a face were red, if I hadn't stopped it, this guy would definitely have been splashed with blood on the spot. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I can't blame the driver, I believe that after the last experience, the name of the ghost town of Tianqiao Town should be spread even more.
We walked along the rough path all the way in, two kilometers was nothing to a few of us, and soon I saw the water's edge, and I kept looking towards the water's edge, hoping to find a boat to pass by.
Looking at the white water in front of me, I couldn't help but think of the last experience, that time was also back to Tianqiao Town, I got on a ghost boat, if it wasn't for Tang Doudou's research boat to save me, I would have been drowned in the water at that time, even if I was good at water, there was no way to swim through such a wide water.
"Master Xiaowei, there is someone over there."
Scarface pointed with his hand, there is really someone, that person is holding a long fishing rod in his hand, there are a lot of fish in this area, I remember when I was a child, there were a lot of boats fishing on the water, and then I don't know why it gradually decreased, probably because of frequent accidents.
"Old man, is there a boat to Tianqiao Town nearby?"
The old man wore a wide straw hat and gray hair, he should be old, but his body was very strong, and his fishing arms were stretched out very straight, so even a young man could not stand it for a long time.
I saw him retract the fishing rod, I couldn't help but glance into the bamboo basket next to him, it was actually empty, which is a bit strange, usually fishing comes out early, it is already eleven o'clock in the morning, it is impossible to have no catch.
"What did you say, young man?"
"Is there a boat to Skybridge?"
"Yes, of course, I'll be there in a moment."
The old man smiled, and then continued to throw the fishing rod in, I pointed to the water, obviously the fish had been hooked, the old man did not notice at all, I shook my hand in front of his eyes, there was no reaction, I couldn't believe it, this person was actually a blind man.
When Jiang Taigong fished with a straight hook, and finally caught a prime minister, this blind fishing is the first time I have heard of it, there is no boat, it is not easy to pass through this water, there is no way, we can only sit there patiently and wait.
After waiting for about half an hour, a boat really came, the boat was not big, and there was a man in his thirties standing on it, and the boat actually rowed directly towards us.
"Dad, go back."
"Send these three babies first, and then pick me up when I get back."
"Got it."
The man smiled at us and motioned for us to get on the boat, I glanced at the man on the boat, and the boat below, there was no problem, the last time there was an accident because I was anxious to get on the boat in the middle of the night, this boat is different, just a little broken.
On the boat, with a little bamboo pole, the boat slowly left, I looked at the old man on the shore, actually looked up at me and smiled, at this time I realized that his eyes should be able to see, when we came over, only I talked to the old man, when he just talked to this rowing man, he said to send these three babies over.
Could it be that we listened, probably not, and when we got on the boat, this person didn't say a word, didn't ask us where we were going, but rowed directly in the direction of Tianqiao Town.
It felt as if he was waiting for me, who was the old man who was fishing, the boat was far away from the waterfront just now, I looked at the middle-aged man rowing, "Big brother, what do you call it?" ”
"Just call it aquatic."
"Brother Shuisheng, ferrying here every day?" Ferry is to row a boat on the water to send people across the river, and then charge a certain fee from it.
Aquatic listened to me and was happy, "Almost, there have been few people on the water in recent years, so I usually carry fishing nets and fish to make a living." ”
I know the suffering of the people on the water, when I was a child in Tianqiao Town, in fact, the family is not rich, Tianqiao Town has little land, I remember very clearly, at that time, many people had to go out to fish, when it was windy and rainy, women had to wear raincoats and guard on the shore, until they saw their men rowing back, if any family did not smoke in the chimney at night, and hung a lantern on the door, this person basically could not be found.
"Brother Shuisheng, how do you know where we're going?"
"Daddy said it."
After Shui Sheng finished speaking, I frowned, the old man should not have said anything like that, Shui Sheng's answer just now was very fast, not like lying, seeing my appearance, Shui Sheng was happy, "You don't know, Daddy was injured in his eyes when he was young, and then he basically communicated by gestures, and when he rowed over just now, Daddy raised his fishing rod and pointed, I knew that you were going to Tianqiao Town." ”
Listening to what Shui Sheng said, I understood, the river passed through several towns along the way, Tianqiao Town is located in the northwest direction, and when the boat came over, I did see the old man lifting the fishing rod and pointing in the northwest direction, which should be reminding my son of the location we are going to this time.
"Aren't you afraid to go to Tianqiao Town?"
I asked this deliberately, and Shui Sheng was happy again, "What are you afraid of, walking on the water, I haven't seen anything, my father taught me, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door, let's rely on strength to eat, don't steal or rob, I don't believe God will be so short-sighted." ”
I nodded, "Good people have good rewards, and when I see you, you are a blessing from the previous life, although you can't be rich and noble in this life, you will definitely be safe." ”
"Little brother, do you know how to look?"
"Understood."
After I finished speaking, I smiled, at this time Mu Ruohua and Scarface were looking at me, in fact, physiognomy and Taoism are inherently connected, of course, all I know is some skin, if physiognomy can really see through people's hearts, then what is terrible in this world is not people's hearts, but physiognomy, some mind-reading techniques used to solve cases, in fact, have nothing to do with physiognomy, it is completely dependent on people's reactions in different environments to make judgments through experience, which works for ordinary people, and is absolutely awesome, if you meet the kind of professionally trained people, such as special forces or spiesThis method is useless at all.
"Brother, you are kind and kind, and you are a good person at first glance."
The two of us complimented each other here, Scarface was a little unhappy, "What's the matter, according to what you say, those who look ugly should be bad people." ”
"Old Scar, you touch your conscience yourself, are you a good person or a bad person?"
Scar's face showed his big yellow teeth, "I definitely can't be considered a good person, I have all the food, drink, prostitution, and gambling." ”
This time the trip was very smooth, I left Shui Sheng's phone, and then gave him a thousand yuan, Shui Sheng resolutely did not want to, said that two hundred is enough, if you overcharge it is a pit person, I just stuffed it to him, as the next time to pick up our deposit.
The aquatic rowing boat left, we walked up along the waterfront, and then walked out of Tianqiao Town, standing on the water's bank, we could already see the tall and low houses in Tianqiao Town from afar.
"Master Xiaowei, are we here to find grandma this time?"
Scarface was familiar with me, and I nodded, "Yes, looking for my grandmother." ”
"How can an old man live in such a place."
I sighed, thinking of what I said when I left Tianqiao Town, I went out to make money and took my grandmother to the city to live a good life, but my grandmother didn't speak at that time, and now that I think about it, my grandmother's expression was obviously a little strange at that moment, especially when she stuffed the broken scroll to me, she kept looking left and right, and it felt as if something was watching us.
What will it be?
After all, it's been too long.,Even if I think about it now, it's useless.,I've really overlooked something.,The experience of working with yin spirits and people in the past few years has taught me too much.,It's no longer the hairy kid who just graduated from high school back then.。
"I don't know, for as long as I can remember, my grandmother has lived here and never left." I couldn't help but sigh again.
"What about your parents? Don't want you anymore? ”
"Sort of, I've never seen them before." I snorted coldly, it was the best response, my parents were completely vague in my memory, how many times had they appeared in dreams, but unfortunately they were just two shadows standing side by side.
"Then we'll be the same." Scarface patted me on the shoulder, "When I was a child, I grew up in an orphanage, and I heard that I was found in a wolf pile, and I was still holding a wolf's milk and head at the time. ”
"Motherhood at that time."
Mu Ruohua, who had been silent, finally spoke, and I looked at her at the same time as Scarface, maybe only she understood the deep meaning inside, I pointed to the front, "Tianqiao Town has arrived." ”
It is undeniable that the geographical environment here is extremely superior, surrounded by water, and the climate is good, so the development company will take a fancy to this place, and then take people to measure and prepare to build a villa here, but unfortunately, the entire survey team finally had an accident, including the people of the company, and the project ended.
"Master Xiaowei."
Scarface stopped suddenly, the face with the scar sank suddenly, and in the direction of Scarface's finger, I saw several deep scratches on a stone, I squatted down, this scratch looked like an animal's claws, but it didn't look like it, because the range of scratches was very large, if it was an animal, at least a lion, I couldn't imagine how a lion could appear in Tianqiao Town.
Surrounded by water on all sides, water snakes are common, I saw them more than once when I was a child, those snakes will climb on the rocky beach to dry their scales when the weather is good, so as to prevent parasites on the body, so if you see something coiled on the stone, you must not touch it, it is likely to be a snake.
"What left this?"
"It's a wolf."
"Wolves?" I shook my head, "No, the wolf's claws aren't that big, unless." "I suddenly thought of the snow wolf I met in the mountains, the body of the snow wolf was bigger than the giant wolf, especially the huge snow wolf king, the whole body was twice as big as the male lion.
Scarface nodded, he grew up in wolves, and he ran in the old woods all year round, so he was familiar with these paw prints, "How can there be snow wolves here?" ”
Looking at the snow wolf claw marks on the stone, this is not common sense at all, there is water on all sides here, and it is so far away from the mountains, how did those snow wolves come over! It's hard to cross.
