Chapter 18: Into the Mountains
I stood there for a while, and resolutely decided to go into the mountains to save people, whether they are old oilers in the village or not, and whether they are good or evil, I have to save them, even if it is not for them, but also for the sake of the descendants of the uphillside village and the downhill village, today someone goes in to die, then the descendants will inevitably have the temptation to resist the treasure and take risks, this is a vicious circle of road, I must uncover the mystery of returning to the Dragon Valley, so that the people will no longer continue to die for this.
Stepping on the moonlight, I strode towards Shangshanpo Village, just halfway up the mountain, I actually saw the middle-aged man I saw during the day, he was inevitably a little panicked at night, but when he saw me, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said in surprise: "Mr. Big, you ...... Tako's ......"
I know the middle-aged man's thoughts, nothing more than to ask how the affairs of the Duozi family are doing, and he must be most concerned about the mother of the many children, but there are more important things to do at the moment, so I said lightly: "It's okay, what is the result of your notification over there?" ”
The middle-aged man was grateful and praised at first, I almost forgot a sentence, and it took a big circle to say the key point I wanted to hear: "The village chief has found people, both of them have killed pigs for more than ten years, one of them is still a son inheriting his father's business, three generations of livelihood, oh yes, the village chief and those two people are waiting at my house, I just hope that Mr. Big will arrive as soon as possible, since the affairs of the Duozi family have been taken care of, I will rest assured, then I will take Mr. Big back now!" ”
That being said, the middle-aged man's eyes couldn't take his eyes off the direction of Duozi's house, and I didn't bother to correct him, so I walked straight ahead, and after a while, I heard his small steps quickly follow.
Really see the hillside village to know what this hillside means, the original hillside village is grown on the broken mountainside, the overall landform is not flat, but it is quite orderly, many are stone houses, that is, stone blocks to build up the house, simple although simple, but it is extremely strong, and there are a few caves dug on the hillside, because it is too far away to see clearly, I can only see a vague outline, a white mountain road in the moonlight such as a silver-white jade belt, interesting things, Like the stream I saw in my dreams, it surrounded the village.
At this time, it is difficult to see a few lights, only a small mansion with withered yellow lights, and the middle-aged man will also lead me there the way, it seems that the house is his home, the road is not too far away, the road in the mountains is like this, it seems to be there soon, in fact, it will take a while, during which I know the name of the middle-aged man, and the livelihood he depends on, it turns out that his name is Xu Dayou, is the only teacher within a radius of more than ten miles, and there are not many surnames here, according to Xu Dayou, there are four surnames, Yan, Li Juduo, the surname Xu is no longer out of five, Xu Dayou is one of them, and there is only one family with that surname, there are three or five branches handed down from the ancestors, but they have all moved away one after another decades ago, and only one old man surnamed that is still in Shangshanpo Village and is not willing to leave, but he died three years ago.
In this way, the surnames Yan and Li account for the majority, and the surname Xu is the least, and it can also be said that there are only three surnames in existence.
Pushing open the gate of Xu Dayou, several figures in the courtyard immediately walked out, except for the two five big and three thick men, the other three were all elderly people, one of them was an old man with a ruddy face, and smiled directly at me: "Little brother is young and promising!" I am the head of the village on the hillside, Dayou has told us everything in detail, we thank the little brother for his righteous action, these two are willing to go with the little brother, in fact, we still hope that everyone is safe and sound! ”
I naturally understood the village chief's feelings, and immediately clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Don't worry, old man, I will do my best to bring them all back safely." ”
In the ensuing conversation, I learned that two of the old oilmen who had entered the mountain were close relatives with these two pig killers, no wonder they were in such a hurry to enter the mountain, I didn't look at the guys they had prepared, but asked, "Have you brought all the things I said earlier?" ”
The two men hurriedly took out a sharp knife for me to see, and when they sensed the evil aura above, I nodded with satisfaction: "In order to hurry, let's go into the mountain immediately, and the village chief and a few old people should go home to rest, don't worry too much." ”
The road in the mountains was quiet, only a few dog barks occasionally came out, and the two pig slaughterers followed me left and right, and they didn't speak all the way, maybe a little nervous, I told them not to be too cautious, the time to be cautious has not yet come, no, the two of them talked to me for a while.
The bald middle-aged man on my left is called Li Wenshan, don't look at him as killing pigs, in fact, people are the same as names, a little Wenxiu has not faded, speaking very slowly and steadily, the one on my right is called Li Luoguo, looking at the name makes people a little surprised, in fact, his big name is Li Luohou, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-two years old, it is this craft that he has passed down from generation to generation, just because he is a little hunchbacked, so he is nicknamed Li Luoguo by the villagers, and the big name is almost forgotten, Luo Pot speaks quickly and slippery, this slippery, is that he is a little impetuous and slippery compared to Li Wenshan, and he is the one who jokes the most on the road.
According to Luo Guo, only because no one has set foot in Huilong Valley for many years, the mountain road in the middle has gradually broken off, and out of Shangshanpo Village, you have to pass through an old mountain forest in front of you to find the path back to Longgu.
The moment I entered the old mountain forest, I sensed that there were some things watching us from afar, but I didn't pay attention to them, just the evil qi on Li Wenshan and Luo Guo's bodies could already keep them away, I have to say, my arrangement still played a role.
This old mountain forest is a downhill forest, and it has been abandoned for a long time, because the ground is uneven, it is very troublesome to walk, and there is no moonlight, we just entered the old mountain forest and it is a little difficult to walk.
Who knew that at this moment, Luo Guo suddenly turned on a beam of light, which turned out to be a flashlight, and I was happy in my heart, and said in surprise: "You still have this thing?!" ”
Luo Guo walked in front of him a little proudly to lead the way, and said with a casual smile: "My uncle went to the mine a few years ago, and he brought it back when he came back to see my old man during the Chinese New Year last year, not to mention, this ghost thing is really convenient to use, hey!" ”
Li Wenshan and I looked at each other and smiled, Li Wenshan was a silent honest man from beginning to end, just following behind me, I could see how difficult the road ahead was, but I don't know how long it would take to enter Huilong Valley, there was a dark night on the road, and the laughter of Luo Guo was a companion, and in a trance, I seemed to feel the familiar feeling that I had not seen for a long time
