Chapter 13: Windfall

Soon the old woman came out, and she said to me, "If he doesn't come out, what will you say to go in and say." ”

"Let me go inside!?" I pointed to myself, and to the dimly lit door in the cabinet.

The old woman nodded: "Hurry up and say, I'll go outside the door to show you." ”

Watching the old woman turn and walk out of the room, I gritted my teeth and lowered my head into the cabinet that was used as a door. It was dark inside, and I couldn't see anything, and I thought I had just come in from the outside, but I stood there for a while and realized that the room had no windows at all. I shouted "damn it" in my heart, and when I thought about it, maybe it would be better not to see it.

"Boom!" I coughed deliberately, suppressed the panic in my heart, and told the person that I was in.

Sure enough, a dry voice came from the depths of the room: "Who are you?" How do you know about me? Can you really save me? ”

"My name is Zheng Shuang, I know what happened to you because my grandfather, my grandfather, and my father have all undergone the same changes as you, and this situation may happen to me in the future, as for whether I can save you, it's hard to say now. I'm here to find a solution to this weird thing, I need to know something, and I hope you can tell me. "I tried to keep my tone as calm as I could.

The other party was silent for a while and said, "What do you want to know?" ”

"My family is probably like this because it has something to do with something called the Duliba Stone Saucer, I wonder what's going on with you?"

"A few years ago I stumbled into a cave and it was like this the night I came back. Why this is so, I still don't know. ”

"What kind of cave? In what place? "I suppressed the ecstasy in my heart.

The man stopped talking, and in the darkness I heard the sound of teeth colliding, and I felt that he was extremely frightened, and I felt a "sigh" in my heart, "What kind of cave, has he been so scared in the past few years?" ”

After a long time, the man said, "That place is very dangerous, you have to go, go to Suohurima Township and find a man named Zawang, he knows how to go." ”

"Zawang?"

"That's right! When you get to the township of Sohurima, you say his name, and there is nothing you don't know. ”

After thanking that person, I came out of the cabinet, went out of the old woman's room, went to the pillow next door and took out my mobile phone, and hurriedly ran out, and almost collided with Lu Keqin who ran in at the gate of the courtyard.

"Why is it so long? You're going to kill people! ”

"The old woman cleaned up the bed and took the phone, and it took a long time to argue before she wanted to get off."

Lu Keqin wanted to say something, but when she saw Liu Peng running to her, she closed her mouth.

"Found it?" Liu Peng asked.

"Found it!" I shook my phone and showed it to Liu Peng.

"Then don't leave quickly, it's all eaten, and I'll wait for you."

After Liu Peng finished speaking, he turned around and ran out. I reached out and pulled Lu Keqin to follow.

Running back to the snack bar, I picked up the miscellaneous soup on the table and ate it, wondering how to tell Lu Dachuan what happened to me at home. I was afraid to tell them that there would be a situation that would be unfavorable to me at a critical moment, but now I have to say it, because I have to tell them the clues I got from the mouth of the person in the small hotel.

The hostess was very welcoming and specially added hot soup to me, and I was sweating all over my head when I ate.

"Zheng Shuang." When I came out of the meal, Lu Dachuan stopped me, pointed to the two people walking beside me and said, "Come, I'll introduce you." This is Jiang Ping, and this is Cai Zhengdong. They just came this morning. Then he pointed at me and said to them, "This is Zheng Shuang." ”

Just now, I was just thinking about my thoughts, and I didn't notice when there were two more people in our team, but now that Lu Dachuan introduced me, I quickly stretched out my hand: "Hello! Nice to meet you guys! ”

They greeted me with a strong southern accent and shook my hand warmly.

When I walked to the side of the road, I realized that there was another off-road vehicle in front of our car, and Jiang Ping and Cai Zhengdong were walking to the side of the car. Before getting into the car, I took a look at them and saw that they were about the same size, neither fat nor thin, and they were shrewd.

When I got into the car, I was worried that someone would quit and asked Lu Dachuan: "How many people are following us?" ”

"No one quit." Lu Dachuan replied very simply, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood.

One didn't leave but there were two more, to be honest, such a good result was something I didn't expect, and the unexpected gain in the small hotel was even more unexpected.

Before I was happy, Lu Dachuan honked the horn, started the car, passed the Jiuzhi County Government, and went straight to the South Ring Road. Other vehicles followed closely behind.

According to the plan, we will first go to Baiyu Township to find an old herdsman named Boba. Because Lu Dachuan led a team to Bayankala Mountain Range a few years ago, it was this old man named Boba who made a guide for them and led them to conquer the main peak of Nianbao, so for this expedition that was blind to everything, Lu Dachuan first thought of this experienced, gentle old man.

Baiyu Township is more than 100 kilometers away from the county seat, and with Lu Dachuan's driving speed, it can be reached in an hour at most, and if you don't say it, you may make a mistake, so I can't think of a better way, and I said straight to the point: "There are some things I didn't tell you, I deliberately concealed it at first, and then I wanted to say that there has been no suitable opportunity." ”

"What's the matter?" Lu Dachuan subconsciously clicked on the brake, and then stepped on the accelerator again. Liu Peng looked back at me.

I told them about the family and the anomaly I found in the small hotel last night, and then said, "The person Liu Peng saw is not a ghost, he should be the same as my grandfather." I went back to look for my phone this morning, just to see him. ”

Liu Peng's brows furrowed.

"Did you see that?" Lu Dachuan slowed down.

"Let's see you. I talked to him, but I didn't see him. ”

"What's going on?"

"Behind the cabinet in the old woman's room was a dark room, and the man hid in it, and I went in, and there was neither a window nor a light, and I stood in the dark and told him what was going on in my house, and asked him what was going on. He told me that he had gone to a cave and came back and suddenly became like that. I suspect that the cave he went to is probably the same place where the stone saucer was first found. ”

Lu Dachuan parked the car on the side of the road and turned around: "Where is that cave?" ”

"I don't know. I asked him the exact location of the cave and the situation inside, and he stopped talking, and I could feel that he was terrified......"

Lu Dachuan was about to turn around, but I hurriedly stopped him: "No need to go back, he told me that if I have to go to that place, I will go to Suorurima Township to find a person named Zha Wang." He said that when he inquired about the place, everyone knew about Zawang. ”

The car behind caught up and honked its horn to ask what was going on? Lu Dachuan told them that it was okay from the car window, and then kicked the accelerator and led the team straight to Suohuri Maxiang.

I don't know why, they didn't say a word to blame me, I wanted to say something to apologize, and I thought it might be better not to say anything, so I closed my mouth and looked out the window.

"It's beautiful!"

Unexpectedly, I was no longer "ghostly", and I was immediately deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery of the western plateau outside the car window, and my eyes were staring at the mountains and snow-covered peaks along the road; the round and rough slopes of the mountain; the verdant grassy beach; The lake that reflects the mountain peaks, the blue sky, and the white clouds; There are also yaks and sheep scattered among the grass and green water far and near, and they are fascinated to watch.

In less than an hour, we arrived in the territory of Sokurima Township. Lu Dachuan stopped the car. Through the car window, I saw nearly twenty or thirty low red-tiled houses on the right side of the road, scattered irregularly on the yellow and green grass. A clear river meanders past these houses. Behind the house is a gentle hillside, where dozens of large and small cattle with yellow and white fur or black and white graze leisurely.

"It's so picturesque!" When I sighed, Lu Dachuan and Liu Peng had already gotten out of the car and walked towards the house.

"Wait for us—" Lu Keqin pushed the car door and jumped out of the car.

"You and Zheng Shuang stay in the car." Lu Dachuan turned around and said.

I fell to the ground with one foot, and when I heard Lu Dachuan let us stay where we were, I just wanted to take it back, but Lu Keqin had already run to my side from the side of the car, pulled me and said, "Fool, let's go!" ”

I closed the car door and followed the bouncing Lu Keqin to Lu Dachuan and them.

Lu Keqin hung on one of Lu Dachuan's arms and said, "Let's go and have a look, we suffocated in the car." ”

"I can't help you!" Lu Dachuan shook his head helplessly, and then shouted to the people in the mountains behind him, "You wait, let's go and inquire about someone, and we'll be back soon." ”

Retracting my gaze to enjoy the scenery and returning to business, I couldn't help but worry, who is Zawang? Is it really like what the person said, and you can find it as soon as you inquire about Suohuri Maxiang? Isn't there a person with the same name and surname?

Lu Dachuan noticed the change in my mood and asked, "I just looked drunk and dreaming of death, why did I have a sad face?" ”

I told you what was going on in my heart.

He laughed and said, "What did you kid do earlier, don't ask clearly, and only worry when you get here!" ”

I was embarrassed to smile and hide my embarrassment.

He also said: "There are people in Tibetan areas who are well known, such as the Living Buddha, the Wise Man, Kubai, etc., and he said that, and I think Zhawang is one of them. ”

"Oh."

At this time, an old man wearing a top hat and a Tibetan robe walked out of a courtyard not far away, carrying a bucket in his hand, looking like he was going to the river to fetch water.

"Oh, there's someone, go over and ask and you'll find it clear."

Step forward, "Tashi Delek! Lu Dachuan and the others bent down and bent their arms to salute the old man. I also learned from Lu Dachuan to salute the old man.

"Tashi Delek!" The old man put down the bucket, took off his hat, and returned the salute very warmly.

Except for a simple greeting, none of us spoke Tibetan, but luckily the old man could speak Chinese.

"We're looking for someone named Zawang, may I ask ......?"

Halfway through Lu Dachuan's words, the old man's face changed sharply, and he picked up the bucket and turned around and ran back to the courtyard he had just come out of.

We were still in shock, and with a "clang", the gate of the courtyard was tightly closed.

"Damn! Why did the old man hear that Zawang felt like he had seen a ghost? I looked at Lu Dachuan.

He frowned tightly and shook his head: "It's weird! Let's ask someone more. ”

To make a long story short, a village of twenty or thirty houses is really not very big, and it didn't take long for us to walk all over it. Except for the old man, when he saw three more people, they were all very enthusiastic at first, and when they heard that we were inquiring about Zawang, they turned around and left, even the expressions on their faces were the same.

When I encountered this situation, my heart has changed from pure curiosity to extreme shock. Judging from their reactions, they did know Zawang, but what happened to make them avoid hearing a person's name? Isn't Zawang a human name, but a terrible curse?

"How is that possible?" I shook my head, brushed aside this ridiculous thought, and looked at Lu Dachuan again, and I could see that he couldn't imagine what was going on, and people were so scared when they heard a person's name.

The four of them looked at each other and stood for a while, Lu Dachuan said: "I remember that there is a small village more than ten kilometers ahead, if the people there also react in this way, we will go to Baiyu Township to find Daddy Boba as originally planned." The two townships are not far apart, and what strange things are going on here, Daddy Boba may know. ”

Liu Peng agreed. Of course, Lu Keqin and I have no objections.

We turned back and walked down the road, and when we were about to leave the village, something hit my left cheek coldly, and it hurt so much that I almost didn't shed tears.

"That dog's ......" A nameless fire started, turned his head to look in the direction where the thing flew from, and saw a figure in the gap between the two houses flashed and disappeared, and was about to chase after him, Lu Dachuan grabbed me and asked me to look at the things on the ground.

It turned out that what was smashed in my face was a small ball of paper. When I opened it, there was a line of words written on it like a dog: Find Zawang, take the road to the back of the mountain.
