Chapter 14: Stone Guard

Lunan is a magical place. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is sandwiched in the south of the majestic Mount Tai, and is close to the hinterland of the Central Plains that stretches for thousands of miles and the northern part of Jiangsu, where the water network is dense, and it is the cultural context of China since ancient times.

For thousands of years, a large number of sages and sages such as Confucius, Yanzi, Mencius, and Zisi have walked out of here. They have shaped the thinking and spirit of the Chinese people with the trajectory and thoughts of their lives. His teachings have endured for more than 1,000 years and permeate every aspect of our lives.

Lunan can be said to be one of the sources of Chinese ideas and legends.

The Yimeng Mountains are the most mysterious barrier in the land of Lunan Province.

It is like a fence and a gate wall in Lunan, tightly guarding the secrets of this land.

Even from a scientific point of view, Yimeng Mountain itself is a mystery, because its geological structure is very special, it has a unique, largest and most numerous mountain structure in the history of China and even the world.

What is "Gu"? In fact, it is very simple to say, it is a towering independent mountain, as if it has been flattened by some kind of divine power, there is no peak, there is no peak, instead there are pieces of "flat land" and "high ground" resting on the top of the mountain. From a distance, there are flattened mountains.

The so-called Gu refers to this kind of landscape of high mountains and flat land.

If we can change the angle and see these large and small "Gu" from the sky, we will be surprised to find that there are not many real mountains in the Yimeng Mountains. Some of them are all of this kind of mountain structure called "gu".

Therefore, Yimeng Mountain has a general statement that there are seventy-two big Gu and three hundred and six small Gu. I think that the famous Menglianggu Battle in the Liberation War took place between the unique terrain of the Yimeng Mountains.

The "Gu" are scattered on the land of Lunan like upside-down basins, and the villages and counties are distributed in the gaps between these basins and basins.

Therefore, the Lunan mountainous area, which can be vividly called "Table Mountain", "Fangshan" or "Buckle Basin", is another unique terrain in China in addition to the Danxia landform and karst landform, and it is also unique in the world.

Perhaps because of its unique geographical environment, all kinds of strange stories that have survived in the embryonic period of Chinese civilization can be found in the Yimeng region.

Those stories that are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, together with those "Gu", will always stand between the land of Lunan and Lunan.

Among them, the "Shirengu" mountainous area where the old squad leader's house is located is the less famous one among the seventy-two gu.

Actually, when I got this address, I was quite surprised. Because in the depths of my memory, it seems that the last time I contacted the old squad leader, he was still working as a chef in a high-end restaurant in Jinan.

It's only been half a year, why did the old squad leader go back to his hometown?

Although the old squad leader hurriedly told me on the phone, it seemed that something was very urgent at home, but I always felt that it was not as simple as he said, and I didn't ask in detail about the specific details.

It must have been a mess a few days ago, and we were so confused by the matter of Bai Shigu that we had to cooperate with the police investigation.

Because of these reasons, the matter of coming to Lunan was put on hold for a few days, and he did not call the old squad leader back to explain in detail.

I always thought, when I see the old squad leader, I will smell everything......

Now, we are going to go to that stone mangu, and when we get there, what the old squad leader wants us to help with, we will naturally understand.

However, when I told the taxi driver our real destination, the driver's reaction completely subverted my thoughts, and I felt even more faintly that this journey was probably not as pleasant and simple as I imagined.

…… As soon as I heard that we were going to Shirengu, the taxi driver's face changed.

Then, he quietly parked the car to the side, and told us with a smile: "I'm sorry, I won't go to Shirengu, you can find another car." ”

The taxi driver's words made all of us wide-eyed.

It was fine just now, why don't you say you won't go?

"What's wrong?" In desperation, I had no choice but to ask briefly.

The man smiled slightly, and said apologetically, "I don't run long distances, and I still have entertainment tonight." ”

"Oh......" I nodded, "Let's go to Texas first!" When we got to the city, we looked for another car. ”

The taxi driver nodded and started the throttle again......

All the way, I had the feeling that this driver was lying. From his expression, and the flickering words, I felt that the man seemed to be afraid of something, so he didn't want to accept us on this trip.

But what was he afraid of? I can't guess, and I can't ask openly. After thinking about it in the end, let's give up. The steering wheel must be in someone's hands, and it's not good to ask in a hurry......

In short, I thought of Texas, and I was thinking about it in the long run.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when we arrived in the downtown area of Dezhou, we didn't even think about it, we got off the bus in front of us, and intercepted a taxi in our back.

"Where?"

I immediately recalled the address that the old squad leader told me and said: "Shirengu, Yimeng County, Lunan, Zhaojialou ......"

"Don't go, don't go......"

As the driver spoke, he closed the door impatiently, and walked away in the stunned eyes of the four of us.

"I'll go! ~" Wang Roar looked at the unhappy taxi driver, shook his head and said, "If you don't go, you won't go, you won't even explain a word...... Running so fast, dodging the plague god? ”

Momiji and I shook our heads helplessly, what can we do? Stand on the side of the road and continue to hail a taxi.

When the second car stopped, I immediately asked again, "Brother, are you going to Shirengu?" ”

"Go!" The man agreed without even thinking about it.

Listening to his words, I was relieved at the time, and then hurriedly beckoned Red Leaves, Wang Roar and Ah Si to get into the car. The three of them were busy all the time, and it was not easy for them to get to the car with large bags and small bags.

Once I sat down, I looked expectantly at the smiling, amiable taxi driver.

"Drive!" I reminded him.

"Run long distances! Pay first......" After the taxi driver finished speaking, he stretched out his hand.

His words somewhat surprised me, and it was the first time I had heard of such a rule for taxis.

But now that it's out, we can only follow the local customs, maybe this is the rule of Texas......

So, I asked Wang Yao to pay for it, and at the same time asked with a smile, "How do you give the law?" Paying a deposit or ......"

"Five thousand!" The taxi driver smiled and said to me, "Five thousand! I'll take you there! ~”

His words lightly made Wang Yao's hand and my chin stiffen at the same time, as if I had been frozen.

Five thousand! It's just a robbery!

Before we came to Shandong, we also did a lot of homework, I even checked on the Internet, from our county through Cangzhou, Dezhou, Yimeng and then take the countryside road to Shirengu, back and forth is only 5,000 yuan, at most six hours. From Dezhou to Shirengu Zhaojialou, it is only 2,000 yuan at the top, about three hours.

This driver opened his mouth to be five thousand, not a clear robbery.

Faced with such a scene, Wang Roar was very indignant, Ah Si gang was pretentious, Hongye was indifferent, and I ...... can only beg for others like Sun Tzu.

I laughed and said, "It's not easy to go out......"

"Five thousand!"

"Can you be accommodating......

"Five Thousand ......"

"Big brother, let's give a deposit first, okay?"

"Five thousand!" The driver stretched out five stunned fingers as he spoke, and said with a smile: "Not a penny less!" ”

His words completely infuriated me.

"Get out of the car!"

So, we got out of the car again, stood on the side of the road, and waited stupidly to continue looking for the car.

But the result we waited for, but we were all disappointed.

There are a lot of taxis passing by, but those cars seem to be as agreed, either to find an excuse not to go or the lion to open his mouth, originally not far from the stone mangu, actually asked for 5,000 or even 7,000, and had to pay the money before going.

After dozens of minutes of grinding, there was no car that could be negotiated.

That little cannibal has become a taboo in the hearts of those taxi drivers, and they don't want to go!

I wondered, why is that?

In a trance, I suddenly remembered what Lei Ren's nephew "Wangcai" warned us......

"Without my uncle, see how you get to Shirengu......"

Obviously, combined with the existing situation, I realized that this product knew some inside information, so he dared to boldly leave such an intriguing cruel sentence with confidence.

But after thinking about it, we can't solve the dilemma in the slightest. I must not be able to get a car, even if I know what people mean, what can I do......

Just when we were melancholy, Momiji sighed and suggested to me, "Either take a high-priced car, or go back to Lei Ren......"

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Yao and I were ruthless at the same time and interrupted her proposal.

"Absolutely not!" I said even more ruthlessly: "Who will mention it again in the future to find the thunder man who opened the black shop!" Just talk about me thundering to death first! ”

So, the proposal was quickly abandoned.

Although I said this in my mouth, as time went by and the harshness of reality, we gradually realized that there were only two ways out.

In desperation, Wang Roar and I summed it up, and everyone began to think about the black car.

That must be a stunned 5,000! Wang Roar and I worked hard for a month, and we didn't necessarily have such a big profit, and the most important thing is that we brought a total of 10,000 emergency when we went out this time, and we had to spend 5,000 before it was too much......

But then again, as the saying goes, if things really go the way we imagined, there may not be any adventures that follow.

Just as the four of us were talking in the shade of a tree on the side of the road, Wang Roar suddenly looked nervous, and he turned his head mechanically and glanced at the other side of the road.

"Let......'s go," Wang Roar whispered, "There are a pair of eyes, secretly staring at us. ”

I looked up, but I didn't see any sign in the crowd across the road.

Just when I wanted to continue to look for the "eyes" that Wang Ye said, he suddenly dragged me down again and said, "Don't look at it, go first!" Most likely Lei Ren's men. ”

When I heard this, I didn't say anything more and watched anything, but immediately packed up my things and went to "fight guerrillas" elsewhere.

I understand that we have no acquaintances in Texas, and if someone is "staring at us", then the eight achievements are subordinates sent by Lei Ren,

If that's the case...... I'm afraid we can use him to turn against the guest and understand the truth in this!

As we moved, the "tail" that had been staring at us quickly followed.
