Seventh: Salt Spring Town
Xu Wu and Wu Yingying went to Shifeng Mountain together, and conducted a detailed inspection of the crime site, and there were no new discoveries, but there was one point, that place was very close to the newly excavated ancient tomb, could it be that there was something related to the two?
Back to the criminal police team, Xu Wu received a call from Chen Bing, saying that there was a new clue, Chen Bing told Xu Wu on the phone that his father had mentioned a mantra, "The dragon king is angry and ruthless, and the door of the five-tooth return cave is open", so he has been paying attention to the relevant clues.
Just today, they had a multi-level marketing gang party, and the new Zhou Damin told a story, in his hometown of Yanquan Town, there was a cowherding baby, and one day he picked up a bead, and the bead was very magical, no matter what it was put in, that thing could grow rapidly, for example, if it was put in rice, there would be a lot of rice the next day, and if it was put in money, there would be a lot of money the next day.
This matter was later known by the local landlord, so he wanted to take it for himself, and the cow baby naturally did not do it, and swallowed it in a hurry, but he did not expect that after he swallowed it, he was particularly thirsty, drank all the water at home, and ran to the creek to drink, but it was still not enough to drink, and then he simply jumped into the river, and as a result, he rose to the sky and became a dragon.
After the cow baby became a dragon, he hated the landlord in his heart and wanted to take revenge, because there was a difference between man and god, and heaven would not tolerate it, so the heavenly court sent the god of heaven to move a mountain to press him under the mountain, this mountain is called Dragon Mountain, and there is a hole under Dragon Mountain, called Dragon Cave.
Chen Bing thinks that in the current situation of having no clue at all, this can be regarded as a clue, go and see, maybe there will be new discoveries, Xu Wu decided to take a look after hearing it.
Yanquan Town is a remote town in the southeast of Chongqing, although it is a small town, but it has a long history, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it has been very developed here, because it is rich in well salt, it was very prosperous here before, there are two rivers confluence here, ships come and go, endlessly, a faction is prosperous, but now it is no longer beautiful, a depression, one is because the well salt here has been replaced, and then the upstream of the two rivers has been built several hydropower stations, the river water has been stopped, and the river can not run at all. It is also located deep in the mountains, inaccessible, and far away from railways and highways, and it is like a dead place, which has been forgotten by the world.
This is a season of revival of all things, hibernating animals and insects are also stretching their waists, waking up one after another, the eight immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers, you sing and I take the stage. The street lights in the town have long been an ornament, many of them have been broken, even if they are not broken, they will not be turned on, as soon as it gets dark, everyone is at home watching TV and sleeping, and there is basically no one on the street. At night in the countryside, the cool breeze is blowing, the sky is empty, the stars are like brocade, and a waning moon hangs in the air, sprinkling a piece of silver to the world; In a turquoise lotus pond, a few pink buds seemed to be unable to wait, raised their heads early, dotted in a patch of green, and echoed with the stars in the sky; Mosquitoes began to come out and bite, and dragonflies were all elated, flapping their wings and looking for delicious food; The bugs are not willing to be lonely, and they do their best to tinker with their own instruments and play a country symphony.
An off-road vehicle slowly drove into the town and stopped in front of a hotel, the headlights shining right on the eyes of the sleeping dog in front of the hotel, and the dog suddenly jumped up and barked at the car.
"Officer Xu, let's stay here tonight." A man in the car said.
"Damin, you still call me Brother Xu, besides, we are out for a tourist adventure, not a business trip." It was Xu Wu and his party sitting in this car, Zhou Damin knew that Chen Bing and they were going to Longshan, so they had to be their tour guides, Xu Wu of course they couldn't ask for it, but they just told him that they were going to travel and explore. So a few people bought the equipment and set off, and because Wu Jiao studied archaeology and might use her professional knowledge, they called her again before leaving.
"Damin, how far is that Longshan from here?" Chen Bing asked.
"Far away, go up along the Yujiang River on the opposite side, and the front is not open to traffic, so you have to walk." Zhou Damin said.
"Far away?" Chen Bing is a person who is afraid of hardship.
"Far away, let's walk for four or five hours." Zhou Damin stretched and replied.
"Ahh If it's fast, it's four or five hours, but what if it's slow? We have lesbians in our ranks. Brother Zhou's answer seemed to exceed Chen Bing's expectations.
Wu Jiao sat in the passenger seat and fell asleep from the first highway, when she felt that the car had stopped, she woke up slowly, and just heard Chen Bing say lesbians, so she turned her head and asked, "What's wrong with lesbians?" ”
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that you have to walk for hours to enter the mountain, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." Chen Bing said.
"Haha, you don't ask what I do, what is it to walk a little mountain road, I'm afraid you can't bear it, right?" Wu Jiao laughed, and everyone laughed too.
"Isn't it up the river, why don't you take a boat?" Xu Wu asked.
"Tomorrow you will find out when you go to the river." Zhou Damin said mysteriously.
"Alright then, we'll stay at this hotel." Xu Wu said with a smile.
"Hotels? Where is it? Wu Jiao looked around, but it was pitch black, she couldn't see anything, she only saw a small hotel next to the car, so she pointed to the door and said, "It can't be this, right?" ”
"yes, didn't you notice that it's a star hotel in this town?" Xu Wu said with a smile.
"Okay, but it's a lot better than camping." Wu Jiao said scoundrelly, now she can only retreat, comfort herself, and take the lead to get out of the car after speaking.
At this time, the dog didn't bark, but waged its tail affectionately, circled around a few people, and a few people sighed, this is really a good dog. When the people in the house saw that a guest came to the door, a woman who was supposed to be the proprietress greeted her and asked, "How many people, do you want to eat or stay?" ”
"You need to eat and stay, what are your conditions here?" Zhou Damin asked.
As soon as the proprietress heard that the accent was local, she said: "This brother, you don't know that in this town, I call it second, and no one dares to call it first." ”
"What kind of rooms are there?" Wu Jiao asked.
"I only have two people here." The proprietress replied with a smile.
Chen Bing glanced at Xu Wu and Wu Jiao meaningfully, and said, "Then let's open two." ”
"How do you live in two rooms, is it not appropriate for the three of you to squeeze into one room? No matter how much you save, it's not in this money. Wu Jiao pretended to be confused.
"Nonono, it's not three people squeezing one, but one for the two of you, one for the two of us." Chen Bing first pointed to Xu Wu and Wu Jiao, and then to himself and Zhou Damin.
Wu Jiao glanced at Xu Wu affectionately, did not speak, Xu Wu pretended not to see it, and said directly to the boss: "Open three rooms." "Xu Wu and Wu Jiao are both relatively conservative people, and every time they fall in love, they are affectionate and polite.
"I'm sorry, but there's only two rooms." The proprietress said embarrassedly.
Chen Bing gave the boss a thumbs up and said in his heart: "This boss lady really has good eyesight." Brother Zhou didn't speak, just smiled and looked at Xu Wu and Wu Jiao, Xu Wu and Wu Jiao were embarrassed for a while.
The proprietress looked at the expressions of several of them and guessed something, so she had to say helplessly: "There are really only two rooms." ”
"No, boss, you have three floors here, others don't know about this town, I don't know, how many people will stay overnight in this town a day, how can there be only two?" Zhou Damin said with a glare.
"That's right, originally this town was very deserted, and it was rare for a few outsiders to come on weekdays, and even fewer people stayed overnight, but in the past few days, several waves of people came at once, and my room was full, and now there are only two rooms left." The hostess hurriedly explained.
"Why are there so many people all of a sudden?" Zhou Damin said.
