When we returned to the residence, Uncle Mu was already drinking tea in the courtyard, as if waiting for Hasna on the stove to bring out the food. He saw the three of us walking into the courtyard with a very solemn expression in diving suits, and asked curiously, "Three little brothers, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Oh, it's okay," the fat man agreed casually, and followed the two of us into his room, until he took off his diving suit and changed into his own clothes, and then he came out and sat with Uncle Mu.

When Uncle Mu saw that we had finally come out, he said with a smile: "How about it, have you found the ruins of the ancient city at the bottom of Fuxian Lake?" ”

When the three of us saw Uncle Mu ask like this, they all shook their heads bitterly, and Li Baqiu said: "Uncle Mu, I really don't hide that I came to explore the ruins of the ancient city at the bottom of the lake, and I didn't say this before because I was afraid that you would not want to see us." ”

Hasina walked out with the food and said with a smile: "Hehe, in fact, my grandfather has already guessed the purpose of the three of you coming here." ”

In this regard, the three of us just smiled and began to help Hasna prepare lunch, at which time Uncle Mu said again: "Is this exploration fruitless?" ”

"Hey, Uncle Mu, how do you know?" The fat man said without thinking about it.

As soon as I heard it, Uncle Mu didn't seem to be simple, and the expression on his face seemed to give people a clear posture, which was very unpredictable. I looked at him and asked, "What?" Uncle Mu, do you know something? ”

"Hehe," Uncle Mu said with a burst of laughter, "although I don't know what you people who came here to explore are looking for?" But I am sure that there are no ruins of an ancient city under the lake. ”

I knew that Uncle Mu didn't seem to finish speaking, and his eyes signaled to the fat man not to interrupt quietly, and sure enough, Uncle Mu saw that we didn't speak, and continued: "Actually, our village was not originally here, but in the mountains behind, because of the perennial heavy rains and frequent landslides, so the older generation of villagers had to move the village here. ”

Li Baqiu was the first to hear the meaning of Uncle Mu's words, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean... There was also a Fuxian Lake in the old village before? ”

Uncle Mu nodded, and glanced at Li Baqiu with some appreciation, which means that you are not stupid.

After a while, I came to my senses and hurriedly said, "Uncle Mu, are you telling the truth?" Where is that village in the back mountain? ”

When Uncle Mu saw me ask about the original site of the old village, his face changed slightly, not only him, but even Hasina, who was standing on the side, shivered unnaturally. After a while, I heard Uncle Mu shake his head and say: "I can't find it, decades have passed, and the mountain road I went in has long been gone, not to mention that there are still many beasts in it, and entering it is equivalent to looking for death." ”

I saw that Uncle Mu didn't seem to be joking, and he was very serious, knowing that it was undoubtedly very difficult to enter the mountains and find that ancient village from decades ago, at least for the three of us.

Soon, after the three of us had a hasty lunch, we didn't plan to go out and walk around again, but went straight into the room and began to discuss the next plan.

Obviously, Xing Ying and Tan Yanzi led the team here to explore the ruins of the ancient city at the bottom of the lake, and they must have known about the mysterious fragments. In short, the three of us must get to the real Fuxian Lake before they do, and enter the mysterious ruins of the ancient city to find the Nine Dragon Wall.

However, how to find the real Fuxian Lake when entering the stretching mountains has become a big "question mark" at this time.

In the process of discussion, Hai Fatzi meant to spend a lot of money to find a few good hands in the village, and find Fuxian Lake one step ahead of Xing Ying and others; And Li Baqiu thought that Xing Ying and the others must have come prepared, and followed them from a distance, so that they could not only reduce casualties but also quickly find the Fuxian Lake.

In the end, there are only these two methods that are feasible, and in the end, I compromised the method of the two of them, that is, to find out if there is a way to know the road in the village first, and if there is, I will take the lead of Xing Ying and others. If not, then you can only follow behind them and find the Fuxian Lake.

After everything was agreed, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still early before the time to go to bed, and finally we decided to go our separate ways, with Hai Fatzi and Li Baqiu going to keep an eye on the movements of Long Yao and the others, while I went to talk to Uncle Mu about whether there was anyone in the village who could lead the way.

Uncle Mu was still sitting in the courtyard at this time, and after I saw Li Baqiu and the two of them leave the hospital, I sat opposite Uncle Mu.

Uncle Mu seemed to vaguely guess my intention, and his eyelids rolled and said lightly: "What? Are you really going to the mountains to find Fuxian Lake? ”

I saw that Uncle Mu was very shrewd, and before I could speak, I had already guessed my intention, and I didn't sell much, so I just said: "Uncle Mu, we have decided to go to the back mountain to find Fuxian Lake, I hope you can find us a place to know the way, of course, the price is not a problem." ”

"Oh, this..."Uncle Mu was obviously a little embarrassed, and after a while, he said: "It's not that you don't know the way, but I'm afraid that people won't want to take you there." ”

When I saw that there was a scene, I hurriedly said: "Uncle Mu, as long as you can help us find someone who can lead the way, you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter." ”

"Okay," Uncle Mu finally agreed, then got up and said, "I believe he should still be at home at this time, and I will take you there." ”

After a brief hello to Hasina, Uncle Mu led me towards the most remote house in the village.

On the way there, Uncle Mu didn't forget to tell me some basic information about that person, as well as some points that need to be paid attention to.

In the understanding, I learned that the other party was a local septuagenarian who was a heavy drinker, and the people in the village called him the old snakehead. The reason why he is called the old snake head is not because he likes to drink, but because Yunnan borders Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and other countries.

The place where the old snake head lives, it sounds like a home, but it doesn't sound like a few old earthen walls covered with some broken thatched sheds, which are black and not painted, and I don't know how he lives?

There is an aging round stone platform outside the dilapidated thatched house, and there is a white-haired old man sitting on the edge of the stone platform.

The arrival of the two of us did not disturb the old snake's drinking Yaxing at all, he just glanced at me lightly, and then smiled at Uncle Mu and nodded to signal him to sit down.

After Uncle Mu sat down, I was also polite, and sat down straight, waiting for Uncle Mu to open the chatterbox of our trip.

"Old snakehead, I'm here today to show you the way for this young man," Uncle Mu said as he looked at the rickety old man who was drinking wine and eating peanuts.

After the old snake head took a sip of wine alone, he didn't look at me, picked up the wine jar on the table and began to pour wine, I guessed that if Uncle Mu wasn't here, I'm afraid I would have been driven away by him.

I saw him fill the empty bowl on the table and push it in my direction, and when I was confused, Uncle Mu said to me very embarrassed: "Little brother, can you drink?" ”

I was stunned, I don't know what Uncle Mu meant by this? But he still shook his head and said that he couldn't drink much.

When Uncle Mu saw me shaking his head, he immediately sighed, and he didn't speak and just pulled me away, until I walked a long way and I couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Mu, what are you doing here?" Why did you pull me away before I even said a word? ”

Uncle Mu saw that I didn't seem to know the situation here, and said: "Actually, that old snake's temperament is very strange, ordinary people must be able to drink when they ask him to do things, and he can only talk about things if he is drunk, otherwise even if his father and mother come, it will not work." ”

"Huh? Do you want to drink and lie down on him? I looked at Uncle Mu in surprise, and said in my heart that this is not an embarrassment, he is an old drunkard for decades, and I wonder which young man can drink him.

Thinking about it, I still looked at Uncle Mu with some complaint, and said, "Then why didn't you say this earlier?" ”

"Oh, I also forgot about this stubble for a while, after all, I haven't done anything with him for many years," At this time, Uncle Mu seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked me: "By the way, how are your other two friends drinking?" ”

When I saw Uncle Mu mention Hai Fat Man and Li Baqiu, his face was a little happy, but then he died again. Although the two of them can drink better, it is impossible for them to drink the old snakehead, after all, people are the kind of people who soak in the wine vat all day long when they have nothing to do, and they can't talk about the same day.
