"Three bosses, it usually costs five yuan for a car to pull so far, but." The coachman who carried me and Xiu'er rubbed his hands together, as if he was embarrassed, and said, "But today it will be a little more expensive, seven yuan and five jiao." Speaking of the back, the voices are a little inaudible.

I looked at him as a real person, not like he was pretending at all, but I really felt that it was not appropriate to charge more than two yuan and five jiao, but because other coachmen were so charged, if he didn't accept it, he would inevitably be excluded. With this in mind, I took out my wallet, counted about a hundred dollars, and handed it over.

Unexpectedly, when the coachman saw the money in my hand, he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and kept saying, "Boss, you don't need so much, or you can just give five yuan." ”

I smiled kindly at him, hoping to get rid of the fear in his heart, "Take it, you guys have worked hard too." We're going up the mountain, so we don't have time to say hello here. ”

As soon as he took the money, the two coachmen knelt down in a daze, and kept saying good things with gratitude. Seeing this, Xiu'er and I hurriedly went up and helped them up. Finally, it wasn't until the three of us turned away for a while, and the two of them were still bowing.

Kuroko smiled lightly and said, "Mosquito, you know that giving those money doesn't mean they won't pull the cart today, right?" ”

I turned my head to look at the figure of them slowly pulling the empty car back, "Of course I know, people who do manual work are like this, but at least with this money, they can make some contributions to their families, maybe they can buy some food that they don't eat often, go back to eat a good meal, buy new clothes for their children, etc." Believe me, doing these things can make them happy for a long time, and I feel that no matter how hard and tired I am, as long as I see my family happy, it will be worth it. ”

After listening to my words, Xiu'er hurriedly said, "Then why don't you give more?" Oops, they're all gone! ”

Kuroko shook his head, "Men are dignified, if you give too much, they will feel that it is charity, although they will accept it, but they will not feel much better in their hearts." ”

"Oh, that's what you men do." Xiu'er complained quietly. Kuroko and I looked at each other and smiled, and walked up the hill.

The leading tomb robbers set off much earlier than us, and at this moment they have probably opened a long distance, but the Yellow Mountain is composed of mountains together, and there are many roads up the mountain, so you don't have to worry about encountering them along the way, even if you do, we only have three people, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke them, there should be no problems.

"But." Heizi took out the note and looked at it, "Pang Qinghe only said that he wanted to find a place with a flag sign, the area covered by these mountains is not small, and I don't know how big this flag is, if it is only the size of a palm, it will be as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack." ”

Hearing this question, Xiu'er thought about it as she walked up, and then suddenly said, "Since her father will go to great lengths to hide things in various places, it means that he is definitely not an ordinary character." Then think about it, who could he be? ”

The first thing that came to my mind was the person who had buried treasures everywhere that he had found in northern Shaanxi, but what Kuroko blurted out was "Tomb robbers?" ”

Xiu'er saw me staring at her, as if hoping that she could give an accurate answer, and immediately shook her head again and again, "I just said that, but I don't know the real answer, but no matter what kind of identity it is, since he intends to hide it, he will definitely not just find a place to hide it." And I always feel that this matter has nothing to do with the immortality of the Golden Country, mosquito, do you remember the legend on your body last night? The Yellow Emperor and Rong Chengzi, the alchemy platform where Fuqiu Gong ascended to immortality may be a starting point. Saying that, Xiu'er took out the old book from the small bag on the outside of the mountaineering bag, "You see, the alchemy platform has become a small scenic spot, and it is on the top of the mountain next to the mountain at our feet, why don't you go and see it?" ”

I looked at the book in her hand and asked suspiciously, "Xiu'er, this book is your ......." but I couldn't say it. Xiu'er immediately understood what it meant when she met my eyes, and replied unhappily, "Mosquito, where do you want to go, of course I didn't steal it, I asked the innkeeper for it before I came out in the morning." ”

"Oh, so I'm relieved." I said in embarrassment, causing Xiu'er to roll her eyes.

There are far fewer climbers in winter than in other seasons, but as the three of us move forward to a certain height, we can also see some young couples climbing as a tour, and middle-aged uncles taking climbing as exercise. There are also some fat people who are estimated to be physically weak, sweating wildly while crawling, so hot that they take off their clothes one by one, and move forward with difficulty with their upper bodies.

Most of them are locals, or at most people from nearby cities, and when they saw the three of us, they were full of tourists, and some of them were very enthusiastic about the various attractions. Peculiar natural landscapes such as dreams and flowers. Later, because it was too much time, we hurriedly said goodbye and hurried forward.

After advancing like this for another thirty minutes, Xiu'er was the first to see the group of people she had seen on the train yesterday on a side road not far away, and I could vaguely hear them chattering in the Hokkien dialect spoken by the sunspots, and I couldn't understand a word.

Kuroko listened carefully and then introduced to me, "They don't seem to know where the exact location is, and all the clues are on the map in their hand." ”

"I've heard that they don't have the finishing touches for tomb robbers? How can it be like a headless fly that can't find a place? I asked curiously.

"See the oldest man over there, who is in his fifties? Judging from the attitude of the other members towards him, he should be the feng shui master of that team, which is why they ran so fast and wanted to reach the top of the mountain quickly. Deep in the middle of such a dense forest. No matter how high the knowledge of feng shui is, I am afraid that there is nowhere to show it. ”

Kuroko and I were discussing, but Xiu'er stood on the edge of a cliff at some point, and suddenly shouted at me happily, "Mosquito, you see, that stone is the landscape of the fairy road recorded in the book, so it really looks like it." ”

At first, I thought she had found the flag. At the end, she realized that she had finally found a spot with her own eyes for the first time, and it was no wonder that she was so happy. Looking at her like that, I was just about to wave my hand to show that I knew, but she ran over and pointed to a bare flat land on the top of the mountain in front of me excitedly, "That's the alchemy platform, we still need to go over there." ”

I didn't have much interest in continuing to observe what the tomb robbers wanted to do, and they all looked in the direction of Xiu'er's finger, the straight-line distance was not far, but this was on the mountain, if you want to climb from this mountain top to that mountain, unless you can fly, it will take a long time, and now it is three poles a day, and walking on this kind of slippery mountain without guardrails at night, there is a danger of falling into the valley at every turn.
