At this time, I was very close to her, and I pressed her in the car, and her smile suddenly gave me goosebumps, and she asked, "Why, I haven't seen her for a few days, and I don't recognize my sister and me?" ”

I said, "Of course I know, how could I forget?" ”

I didn't expect the driver to be Sister Zhang, and after asking, I found out that the second grandfather didn't let her go to Miaojiang with me, and she was not a master who could be honest. Therefore, when the second grandfather contacted the vehicle, he directly changed the person and drove the car himself.

When she was in the car just now, she kept covering her face, and I thought we had accidentally got in a black car. But I'm not afraid, even if we really sit in a black car, no one can calculate the few of us in the car.

Leaving the gas station, we headed south.

In the middle, Ah Kun went to drive for a while, and almost in the evening it was already out of the province to the border of Hubei Province, which was very desolate, and it was dark on both sides, so we found a local hotel to make up for the night, and set off early the next morning. To be honest, we didn't have any purpose, while walking towards the south, we inquired about some news, and at the same time waited for the second grandfather to reply, and the only one who had a little hope was the second grandfather.

Early the next morning, my phone rang.

As soon as I saw that it was the mobile phone number of my second grandfather, I quickly connected. After connecting the phone, the second grandfather's first sentence was: "Fan Wazi, I found it!" ”

This excites me, and I finally have a clue.

The second grandfather told me about the situation and gave me a specific location. I found the owner of the inn, he had a computer there, and from the electronic map, I determined the specific location that the second grandfather said. Because Ah Kun and Sister Zhang were basically driving on the road, I found Ah Kun and told him the specific location.

It's Fenghuang County, and I remember that place is Shen Congwen's hometown. When I mentioned Fenghuang County, Ah Kun was stunned for a moment, and he seemed to think of something, so I asked, "What's wrong?" ”

My questioning brought him back to his senses, and he shook his head slowly, indicating that it was nothing, and did not speak again.

Then, I went to the car alone, and I should have set up the car navigation.

I thought there was something strange about Ah Kun's reaction, I wanted to go over and ask what was going on, but just a few steps out, something suddenly came to mind.

Regarding the matter of Ah Kun, the second grandfather said that the place where the second grandfather saved Ah Kun was Xiangxi Miao Village, is it also in Fenghuang County?

It's a coincidence, my dad came here because of my mom. The second grandfather also came here back then, and she saved Ah Kun from here, this place is really interesting.

After that, we were on the road for a long time, almost a whole day and a night, and in the evening, we arrived in Fenghuang County.

The clues given by the second grandfather only went to this Phoenix County, and he didn't know where to go next.

In the evening, we found a hotel in the county to stay temporarily, Ah Kun came to my house, and he gave me a place name: Xiaoyin Mountain, Phoenix Village.

He gave me the name of the place, and I asked, "What is this place?" ”

Ah Kun glanced at me, and then said, "Let's go to this place early tomorrow morning, it should be right, I think your father went to this place too." ”

I was stunned for a moment, it seemed that Ah Kun really knew something, and I immediately continued to ask, "Brother Qiao, how do you know this place?" ”

To be honest, I thought he would tell me that the second grandfather was here to save him. Unexpectedly, he said to me, "I don't know, anyway, it's that place!" ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't leave me any room to continue asking, got up and left.

The hotel I stayed in this time was quite high-end, and there was a computer in it, but I didn't know how to use it. I called Shen Yue, who lived next door, and asked him to help me check the two place names that Ah Kun said just now, Xiaoyin Mountain and Phoenix Village.

Shen Yue opened the webpage and searched for a long time, but Xiaoyin Mountain couldn't find it at all, but the Phoenix Village on the map was in the north of Chongqing, not in Xiangxi at all. I wondered if even if it was a small place name, it should be on this map, but I couldn't find it, so I had to give up.

The next day, we drove all the way west.

After leaving the county seat, heading west, the road conditions are getting worse and worse, and there is no navigation, Ah Kun said he knows that place. I thought it wasn't a long distance, but who knew that the road was very bad, even worse than the road to the village in Yangjiazhuang. So, it took another day on the road.

A few of us sat in the car, and we had already dizzy, and it was almost dusk when we saw a very large village in the distance. There was a fire in the village, but there was a river in front of it, which looked quite wide, and the car must not be able to pass, so Ah Kun stopped the car and walked over with our equipment.

After walking to that side, I found that it was quite wide, at least ten meters, and it was not easy to pass.

However, there was a small boat on the other side, and Shen Yue shouted at that side: "Hey...... Boatman, it's time for business! ”

There was movement on the boat over there, and although there was no response, a moment later the boat swam towards us. I looked at it and thought that the boat came by itself, but in fact there was an old man wearing a hat sitting at the stern of the boat rowing, didn't I see it just now?

After landing, the old man raised his hat slightly and glanced at us, and I didn't see the face under the hat clearly, so the old man said: "I can't imagine this old village, it's very lively today!" ”

He speaks in a thick dialect, but he can still understand semi-automatic Mandarin.

The boat docked, Shen Yue immediately carried his bag and went over to get on the boat, but was stopped by the old man, Shen Yue said: "Old boatman, we won't miss you!" ”

But the old boatman said, "A few young people, I didn't mean that, you guys are from other places!" It's okay not to know the rules, it's just that my ferry can only ferry people once a day. ”

I wondered, how can this ferry only cross people once a day?

"Why?" Shen Yue continued to ask.

"This is the rule, I don't cross you for your own good, if you go to the village for the truth, come back tomorrow!" After the old man finished speaking, he was about to row away.

Shen Yue was in a hurry, and grabbed the old man's arm, and the next second, I saw the old man quickly flip his wrist and shake Shen Yue away.

The old man was so fast that I didn't even see his movements clearly.

Shen Yue was also confused, he was obviously defenseless just now, but even so, the old man with a hat was not simple. Just as the old man was about to leave, Ah Kun came out, and I didn't understand what he said, but made the old man who was about to row away stunned for a moment.

He turned back slowly, his face still buried under his hat, and he said a word to Ah Kun, and then docked the boat again.

This time, he was still standing on the shore, kneeling down to hold the boat, looking very respectful.

The few of us were all looking at each other, neither of us knowing what Ah Kun had just said, and I was thinking that it must be their local dialect. But the old man's respectful appearance, could it be that Ah Kun's identity in this place is extraordinary?

Things are getting more and more confusing, and I am even more curious about this place called Phoenix Village, the mystery of Ah Kun, the mystery of my mother, it seems that they all come from here, what kind of place is this?

After the men of us got on the boat, the old man sitting at the bow of the boat said, "You young people, you have to live a good life, but you have to go to this mountain, but you don't know that this mountain is very dangerous. I have made it clear beforehand, that if any of you lose your life in the stockade, don't blame me! ”

Shen Yue said: "Don't worry, the boatman will definitely not blame you, what really happened, we did it ourselves, okay?" ”

I glared at Shen Yue, his words were obviously provocative.

I couldn't even see the old man's hand just now, he must be a master. If Shen Yue really offended him, if it wasn't good, this old man would still scare us from behind.

However, the old man in the hat didn't say anything, just sneered, and turned back to continue rowing.

I didn't speak until I got off the boat, and when I got off the boat, I asked Ah Kun, "Little brother, what did you say to the old man with a hat when you were on the other side of the shore just now?" ”
