Ah Kun glanced back at me, and he said, "It's nothing, I just told him that you can add money, three times!" ”

I almost didn't choke on my own spit, and it didn't feel like it, Shen Yue also said that the reward would not be less, but the old man turned his head and was about to leave. How did you get to Ah Kun here, and when he said that he would add money, the old man with a hat was moved? Moreover, I don't feel like that old man doesn't seem to be the kind of lord who sees money, and Ah Kun doesn't seem to be telling the truth.

However, since he said that, it may be deliberately concealed, after all, if he doesn't want to say it, you can't find anything from him.

However, after Ah Kun finished speaking, the reaction of the old man in the hat made me a little strange, and he even knelt down on one knee to help the bow of the boat, which was a very secret etiquette.

Because, when we got on the boat, the old man was just holding the side of the boat with one hand.

After the old man had parked the boat, he came with us, and said, "It's not too early, I'll take you to find a place to stay, and give you a discount!" ”

This old man can do business, but if we have to find it ourselves, we really don't know where to find a place to stay in such a big village, and we can't see the word hotel when we sweep around the neighborhood.

I said, "Okay! ”

Then, the old man with a hat walked in front and led us along the cascading bluestone steps towards the stockade. When I was on the other side of the river, I saw a lot of fires here, and I really came over, but I didn't see a few people. The doors of every house in the village are closed, and torches are planted at the door, and the flames are crooked with the cold wind.

I deliberately walked closer to the old man with a hat, and after a few casual words, I asked him, "You said that today we are ferrying for the second time, so how many people are there for the first time?" ”

"Why do you ask this?" The old man asked, turning his head slightly, unable to see his face clearly, but could feel that he seemed to be very vigilant.

I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "It's nothing, just ask!" ”

"Alone, this person is really bold enough, and a person dares to come to Phoenix Village!" The old man said this, he was expressing a meaning in every sentence, this Phoenix Village is a dangerous place, but, so far, I don't feel any danger, but no one in the village has seen it, which makes me feel a little strange.

However, since it is a person, it seems that there is nothing wrong, nine times out of ten it is my father, and he really came to this place.

I then asked, "Do you know where that person lives?" ”

The old man stood still, he turned his head to stare at me, and the light of the fire on the wooden building next to him actually shone half of his face at this time, and I saw that there was a scar on his face, which ran down from the top of his right eye, and looked very terrible.

"Who the hell are you?" The old man asked, and he suddenly became very wary, as if he were about to eat me.

"I'm an ordinary tourist, I heard that our side is rich in customs, come and have a look. Didn't you say that the man was bold enough......" I said this, and did not say any more, for I saw the tip of a seedling knife peeking out from the side of the old man's hat, and under the firelight, it emitted a faint cold light.

At this time, Ah Kun immediately walked over, and he said, "Old man, don't get me wrong, we really just came here for a tour." My friend is curious, don't care! ”

The old man hid the sharp knife under the hat, and he said coldly: "Curiosity will kill people, I advise your friend to settle down, otherwise, I don't know how to die!" ”

Ah Kun smiled and nodded slightly.

The old man took us all the way to the inside of the village, which was relatively far away from the riverbank ferry, and the position was relatively high, and the sight was good. Moreover, the old man found us a two-story wooden building, and we all lived in rooms on the second floor, and standing on the second floor, we could see a very large tree on the west side of the village.

I couldn't see that side when I was down there before, but now when I see it, I feel that the big tree is very shocking, even bigger than the old locust tree that was cut down in Yangjiazhuang back then.

At night, only the outline of the big tree could be seen, and in the western side of the stockade, it seemed that half of the wooden buildings were under the shade of the big tree.

I didn't dare to ask the old man any more questions, and I was really worried about causing unnecessary trouble.

Looking for the daddy's business, we will come by ourselves, this village is not small, but after all, it is just a village. It shouldn't be so difficult for a few of us to find my dad.

This wooden building and the wooden building next to it are the best wooden buildings in the whole village because of their high location. The owner of this shop is a woman, named Xu Lushui, wearing loose embroidered pajamas, who looks like she is in her early thirties, and has a somewhat special appearance.

Since I got into the wooden building, the proprietress has been staring at me, and I feel a little uncomfortable.

After the old man in the hat left, the atmosphere in the room was immediately soothed, and the dew came towards us with a charming face, and said softly and weakly: "You, all of you have a straight face, are you frightened by the old scar?" ”

Shen Yue swallowed her saliva, she smiled and said, "Boss Shui is not ...... Boss Xu, how could a few of us be frightened by a bad old man, just kidding, you don't ask, what are we doing......"

I hurriedly stopped Shen Yue, if he continued to talk about this, I am afraid that he could say anything.

casually said a few words to Boss Xu, and then followed her to arrange the house. They were all on the second floor, and my room had the best view, and I could see the dappled fire in the stockade and the shadow of the big tree.

After a day's ride, we were tired from the ride, so we planned to rest in this hotel for the night and wait until tomorrow during the day to continue the investigation, after all, if we go out at night, it is easy to arouse suspicion.

I felt quite sleepy, but after lying in bed, I didn't feel sleepy. I was thinking about what had happened recently, and it was as if I was once again caught in a huge mystery.

Daddy and Ah Kun should have their own plans when they come here.

What are they going to do?

Can my dad come here and find out the truth about the flower behind my mother?

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard footsteps outside, and then the footsteps stopped at the door of my house.

Dangdangdang......

There was a knock on the door, and I immediately asked, "Who?" ”

The man outside the door replied, "I, Boss Xu!" ”

How could it be her, what did she do in the middle of the night, remembering the way she looked at me during the day, I was a little panicked, so I asked, "Boss Xu, is there something wrong?" ”

She said, "Don't you have a question for me, young man?" ”

When she said that, I really had a problem, so I got up and opened the door, and when I went into the house, she sat down directly by my bed, very close to me.

I hurriedly moved to the side, and in order to avoid embarrassment, I asked, "Boss Xu, is there really any danger in the village?" The boatman kept talking about it when we came! ”

Boss Xu smiled and said in a low voice: "That Scar always likes to say some things that scare my guests, what is the danger, our village is an ordinary village, what danger can there be?" But...... It's hard to say a handsome little guy like you......"

She kept leaning towards me, and I had no choice but to stand up.

This proprietress really has a plan for coming to me in the middle of the night, I should not have opened the door if I knew it, and I don't like her.

"Boss Xu, you are really joking, let me ask you, is there anyone else in the village today besides us?" I asked, feeling like I could learn something from her.

"Yes, a person, a little like you, Scar Lao brought him here, he doesn't know what to do, he can't stay in my inn, as if the old lady will eat him at night!" The dew said.

"Do you know where he went?" I turned around and continued to ask.

"Ouch, young man, I have heard a lot, and the wall has ears. Otherwise...... Come to my room, let's talk slowly? She stood up, walked over to me and asked.

"Let's talk about it here, it's a misunderstanding!" I said, how long has this proprietress not lived a happy life, and I was a little speechless.

"Yo, I'm still a pure young man, Cheng, I'll say it here, but I don't know where that person went, anyway, he went to the West Village." She said.

The west village, which should be the one near the big tree in the west, I continued to ask, "What kind of tree is that?" ”

The proprietress glanced in the direction of my finger, and she said, "That's the sacred tree of our Phoenix Village, which has been said to be thousands of years old, and it is an old plane tree!" ”

"Sycamore trees?" I asked rhetorically.

Phoenix Village, Sycamore Tree, Legend Legend, Phoenix is not bamboo rice does not eat, non-Sycamore is endless, is it difficult for this place to have a phoenix? Of course it's just my guess, after all, it's a cross.

"That's right, it's the plane tree, all right, young man, it's not too early, you can rest early......" She spoke towards me, almost in my ear, and her body rubbed against me.

I subconsciously avoided it, but she soon went out, and when she left, she said: "Young man, if you don't understand anything, come to my room and tell you carefully!" ”

I got goosebumps all over my body and closed the door when she was gone.

When I lay down and was about to go to bed, I suddenly felt as if there was something in my pocket, I touched it, it was hard, and when I took it out, I saw that it was a bamboo tube, the thickness of my fingers, and one end was still stuffed with a wooden stopper.

What is it?
