Chapter 55: Finding Out the News

According to the hostess, there were still a lot of people in this place before, but in recent years, because this place is too backward, there is not even the most basic electricity, so everyone here can move away.

The village in front of me is called Beigang Village, and this village is the closest village to the Huaiyangmen Hotel. At this time, the road was slippery in the dark, almost everyone had fallen, and now everyone was dragging mud and water. The second uncle knocked on the doors of several houses, but no one was found, and it seemed that there should be an empty house where no one lived.

"There are still people living in such a hellish place?" Hou Bin complained as he walked.

Everyone walks, relying on the flashlight in their hands. From time to time, the village heard the cries of livestock, but there was no light at all. After a few more turns, they finally saw a family with a faint light peeking out of the window. The second uncle was overjoyed, and took everyone to the house.

When they arrived at the door, the second uncle shouted outside. After a while, a middle-aged man walked out of the house, came to the door and saw so many people, he didn't even dare to open the fence gate, and he didn't know what these people were doing, and asked a little vigilantly, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

There is a long distance between the villages here, and there are not many people left in each village, so this place is pitch black at night, and to put it mildly, the faint of heart dare not live here. Besides, at this time, there are so many people who suddenly came, which really makes people feel a little nervous

These second uncles also thought about it, so the second uncle thought about how to believe in himself more easily without being rejected.

"That's right, I'...... We want to go up the mountain to collect medicine, it is too late, and it has just rained, the road is too difficult to walk, we want to spend the night, I don't know if it is inconvenient. The second uncle said.

After hearing this, the man hesitated, looked up at these people again, and said not very friendly: "Let's go to other people's houses, my place is too small." With that, he turned and went back.

Seeing this, the second uncle could only shake his head helplessly, this black light is blinding, and he is not a local when he listens to the accent, and it is normal to refuse to stay overnight.

The second uncle knocked on the doors of several more houses with everyone, but either there was no one or they were rejected, and some even went out to take a look, and went back without even saying a word. After tossing for nearly an hour, in the end there was really no choice but to find a house that no one lived in.

I found a few houses, and finally found a one that didn't leak rain, and the ground was still dry, and a few people could only be grieved here for one night.

The second uncle took a flashlight and took a picture of it, and found that there were actually some big objects in the house, some dilapidated beds, but there were only shelves left, and there was nothing on it, and no one could sleep at all.

"Second uncle, why are we in such a hurry to come out, it has just rained, how comfortable it is to live in the hotel, although there is no electricity, at least we can sleep peacefully. Even our breakfast tomorrow hasn't been settled yet. Hou Bin said as he sat on a broken bench that fell to the ground.

"We're not here to visit the mountains and rivers, the climate of this place is very changeable, and if you want to point to the good weather every day, it's impossible." The second uncle said while inspecting the room.

"I'm not saying that I can't endure hardship, but there's one thing I haven't figured out yet. We ran this trip with that willow rat this time, why are we suffering here now, but they are well fed and slept comfortably in the hotel? Hou Bin was full of resentment at this time, and along the way, he saw that Hou Bin was very unhappy and didn't say a word, and finally couldn't help it at this time.

Don't look at him angry at this moment, his name is Liu Mouse, which amuses everyone. Even the old five, who is usually silent, couldn't help but be happy.

Lao Wu walked up to Hou Bin and patted Hou Bin on the shoulder and said, "The second master must have his reasons for doing this, don't be angry, Dabin." After hearing this, Hou Bin still sat there angrily.

At this time, the second uncle said earnestly: "These two people cooperate, or two groups of people cooperate, what I am most afraid of is passing the buck to each other, and I want the other party to do everything, so that nothing can be done, not to mention this General Ridge, we have to work together." ”

After listening to the second uncle's words, Hou Bin didn't speak, and simply found a place to lie down. In fact, Hou Bin was just complaining and complaining at this time, and in his heart, the second uncle was even taller than his father's image.

As soon as the second uncle saw that Hou Bin was no longer talking, he continued: "Get up tomorrow morning, I'm inquiring, if there is no result, we will go back to the hotel and make the next step." After that, the second uncle let everyone rest.

But at this time, it's actually not very late, and everyone doesn't have any sleepiness at all, especially Hou Bin and Lao Fei, who are young people, who are all mentally sleepy at night and during the day, which is to make them suffer.

Several people woke up this night, woke up and slept again, and finally stayed up until dawn.

The second uncle walked around the village with everyone, and a few people followed behind yawning. It is estimated that there must be forty or fifty houses in the village, but there are no more than five families in front of and behind the people who opened the fire, and it seems that almost all the people in this village are gone.

The second uncle found a house with smoking chimneys closest to them, and shouted at the gate, only to see a middle-aged man in his forties coming out of the house.

The man was relatively short, the second uncle's height was not tall, he looked even shorter than the second uncle, his skin was dark, he walked to the door, and said with a displeased face: "Why are you again?" ”

It turned out that this person was the first family where the second uncle went to stay overnight the night before. But it's no wonder that there are only a few families in this village.

The second uncle smiled and said, "That's the case, I want to ask, do you know that there is a place called General Ridge around here?" ”

After hearing this, the man looked at the second uncle carefully, and said angrily: "I don't know, what do you want to ask to find our village chief!" With that, he turned around and went back again.

Besides, as soon as these people heard that they were going to find the village chief, they couldn't make a sound, Hou Bin covered his mouth and muttered in a low voice: "There are only a few families in this village, and there is still a village chief." Is there still a women's director? ”

The second uncle was also stunned when he heard that the village chief, and then hurriedly asked, "Where is the village chief's house?" ”

I saw that the man didn't look back, and pointed to a smoking house in the distance.

The second uncle took everyone to the village chief's house again, and when he arrived at the door of the village chief's house, he saw an old man in the yard, who looked to be over seventy years old, full of white hair, but his legs and feet were very neat, and he was walking to the kitchen with a handful of firewood.

Seeing this, the second uncle hurriedly shouted: "Hello, old man, are you the village chief?" ”

As soon as the old man saw the man, he put down the firewood and came over, leaned one ear to it, and said, "What did you say?" ”

The old man looked very energetic, and he didn't want to have a problem with his ears, so the second uncle said loudly: "Old man, are you the village chief here?" ”

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, are you looking for someone?" Almost all of these people have moved away, so I'm afraid it's hard to find someone! ”

"It's not looking for someone, we're looking for a place, do you know General Ridge?" When the second uncle saw that the old man's ears were so back, he quickly picked the main question.

I don't want this old man to look at the second uncle's group, and then asked, "What are you looking for General Ridge for?" ”

This sentence stopped the second uncle, and the second uncle hesitated for a moment, remembering what he said to the family last night, "Oh, I'...... We went up the mountain to collect medicine. I heard that there is a magical medicinal herb on the General Ridge, so we thought about going to see it. ”

The old man looked at these people suspiciously, if you want to say that the second uncle is still reluctant to say it, these people behind him, how do they not look like they are collecting medicine.

"Are you really picking herbs?" The old man asked.

"Yes, yes, we really collect medicinal herbs."

The old man lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly said with a smile on his face: "This General's Ridge is actually a legend, and no one has really been there." I've lived here all my life, and I've never heard of where this General Ridge is. Don't look for it, where did you come from or where do you go back, there is no General Ridge at all. ”

The second uncle looked at the tone and expression of this old man's speech, and always felt that this old man was weird, and the people in this village seemed to be very unfriendly to them, especially when the second uncle mentioned Jiangjunling, it seemed that they were all repulsed, and it seemed that there was something else hidden here.

But no matter what, I'm afraid I won't find any news here, and the second uncle and everyone can only return the same way and return to the Huaiyangmen Hotel.

When the second uncle and they returned to the hotel, they happened to see Liu Guanqun and Ding Quan sitting at a table chatting about something, Liu Guanqun saw that the second uncle and several people were back, and their whole bodies were dirty, so they pretended to be very concerned and hurriedly asked: "Ouch Lord Hou, what's wrong, how did you make it like this?" ”

The second uncle told him about the events of the previous night, and Liu Guanqun also felt that there might be something here, but he didn't stay on it too much, but hurriedly asked the second uncle to sit down, and said to the second uncle with a happy face: "Master Hou, although you haven't heard any news, I haven't been idle here." ”

The second uncle saw Liu Guanqun's smiling face, and hurriedly asked, "What?" Could it be that you have inquired about the whereabouts of General Ridge here? ”

At this time, Ding Quan next to him also looked at the second uncle with a smile, and the second uncle was dizzy at this time, "What the hell is going on?" ”

I saw Liu Guanqun with a proud look and said: "Master Hou, you are stepping on iron shoes and there is nowhere to find it, I have to work effortlessly!" After that, he pointed to Ding Quan next to him and said, "This Ding brother knows where this General Ridge is." ”

"What? Do you know where General Ridge is? After hearing this, the second uncle asked with wide eyes.

At this time, Liu Guanqun's expression became a little more serious, "It's not ......"

"But what?" The second uncle asked anxiously.

"But if you want to know where General Ridge is, this Ding brother has a condition."
