This three-star pattern of the moon occupies a 'spirit' word in the feng shui of mountains and rivers, the ground can live the living, and the underground can live the dead, which is an excellent place for feng shui, that is to say, there must be an ancient tomb below, and the buried must also have a history.

It's a pity that at the time of reform and opening up, the mountain was blown up and the river was filled, the mountain was flattened, and the feng shui of the three-star moon was damaged.

And the house of the Dou family is probably built on top of this ancient tomb, so the evil spirit of the earth will recognize the Lord and entangle the people of the Dou family.

Si Taiping continued: "Now you should understand, if you want to save your friend, you must start from the ground, and solve the thing that sucks the earth and yin, not to mention whether you can succeed or not, if you succeed, the earth and yin will scatter and harm other people around, of course, at best, there are more traffic accidents, or a dead chicken today, a dead duck tomorrow, it won't have much impact, but in order to save him alone, it is really damaging to yin morality, whether you are willing to do it or not, you can do it yourself." ”

I didn't expect the crux of the matter to be here, but I didn't have anything to worry about.

It is God who has a loving heart, and I am a layman, I am too far from the realm of God, in the face of Tofu's life, how can I care about others? I said, "How long does my friend have left?" ”

Si Taiping said: "This depends on the individual's physique, but at most a month, if you want to act, you have to act as soon as possible." ”

At this point, I already had a plan in my heart, and the rest was only one question, so I stared at Si Taiping's fat face and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Chenci." "Why didn't even mention the person in front of him in his grandfather's notebook, how did this apprentice suddenly appear?

He laughed twice, drank wine and didn't answer, rubbed his hands, but looked a little excited, and said, "You answer me first, whether you do this or not." ”

I said, "Of course, I have to do it, I can't let my brother die like this." ”

"Okay." Hearing this, he clapped his hands and said, "That's it." That's a long story, so where to start, well, from the year I first came out. ”

More than 20 years ago, he worked in a local brick factory in his hometown, and when he got off work, a fellow villager asked him: "Do you know the road to Xiangshan?" "This Xiangshan, of course, is not the Xiangshan of Beijing, just the same name, it is a local mountain, the terrain in the mountain is very different, there are river valleys, cliffs, rapids and dangerous peaks, of course, there are all kinds of rare wild animals.

Inside is like a natural botanical and botanical garden, natural danger blocks the entry of human beings, so that the ecological environment inside presents a crazy state, the locals can only see the mountain, but no one has ever been to Xiangshan, because the previous to go big, most of them have accidents, either broken arms or broken legs, or encountered the attack of wild beasts, the worst one is a woman, during the day the son greedy to play into the mountains did not return, she was anxious to go into the mountains to find, and met a leopard, although lucky to survive, But he was caught by the leopard and took off his whole face, not to mention how terrifying.

In the innermost part of Xiangshan, there is a cliff, it is said that there are many stone paintings on the cliff, the locals call that the red rock painting, located in the depths of Xiangshan, but because it is too dangerous inside, the terrain is complicated, so where is the specific, there are not many people who know the way.

Si Taiping's grandfather is an anti-Japanese veteran, in the famine years, once led Si Taiping's family into the mountains to find food, at that time this kind of detachment from the group and organization was not allowed, so living in the mountains for two years, until the limelight passed, the situation changed, and then re-out of the mountain, therefore, this place, the most familiar with Xiangshan, should be Si Taiping, because his father was sick in bed, and his grandfather died early.

Listening to the fellow ask, Si Taiping said: "Except for me, who else can know, what's the matter, you won't want to ......" In recent years, there have been more poachers, and Xiangshan is not spared, although there is a natural danger, but there are always some poachers who are not afraid of death to break in, some come out alive, of course, there are also those who never go back. Si Taiping knew that this fellow had a double-barreled shotgun at home, thinking that he wanted to hunt.

The fellow said, "No, there is a foreigner who wants to go into the mountains and hire money to find a guide." ”

Si Taiping said: "I can't leave the brick factory, what about the salary of more than six cents a day, how much does he pay?" "Calculate the time, it was about 27 years ago, when the salary of an ordinary worker in a month was about 30 yuan, and the area of Si Taiping was relatively remote, and the salary was relatively low, and he had to work in the brick factory for 11 hours a day.

The fellow said: "You can negotiate the specific price yourself, anyway, that bearing is very different, it must be a rich person, he came to my house to ask, such a good thing, I was the first to think of you." ”

At that time, people were very simple, Si Taiping thanked him and thought: As long as the money is higher than that of the brick factory, he will go to that person as a guide, but he didn't expect it to be so high.

At the villager's house, he met the young man.

is about the same age as himself, but because he works in a brick factory, his skin and flesh are black, so Si Taiping looks very old compared to the white and pure young man. That young man, needless to say, is naturally my father's statement, and he is very stylish wherever he goes.

Si Taiping recalled that Chen Ci was a person who was difficult to forget at a glance, he was very arrogant and said little, but every word he said was very sharp, like a knife. However, this kind of arrogance is not annoying, because it is not superficial, except for making people feel uncomfortable at first, after getting along for a while, you will find that this arrogance has a reason, and it is also what he deserves.

The conversation between the two was brief.

Chen Ci asked coldly: "Red rock paintings, do you know the road?" ”

Si Taiping said: "I know the way, but it is very dangerous to pass all the way, at least four or five days. "The subtext is, you can't go if you have less money.

Chen Ci nodded slightly, raised his chin, and his voice was still cold: "I don't count the time, I'll give you two hundred after the deed." ”

Two hundred! At that time, Si Taiping's monthly salary was about eighteen yuan, two hundred yuan was equivalent to a year's salary, and he could earn so much money in a few days, even if it was a little dangerous, he immediately nodded and agreed, saying that he needed to prepare some things to enter the mountain, so Chen Ci stayed at Si Taiping's house.

At the beginning, Si Taiping thought: This is a rich man, but it is easy to serve, the people at that time were kind, thinking that they could not treat the gold owner of Chen Ci badly, so they borrowed rice from the east and noodles from the west. Rice was borrowed, boiled and served to Chen, and Si Taiping and his parents ate boiled sweet potatoes in the back room, dipped in a little local salty sauce.

Before eating, Chen Ci walked in, still very arrogant, his black eyes were cold, and when he stared at him, you couldn't help but feel like a mouse, and you couldn't help but find a crack in the ground to drill on.

Si Taiping's family of three was silent, extremely nervous under Chen's gaze, but Chenci only said: "Come out to eat." ”

Si Taiping reacted at this time, and said in his heart that this person did not look down on people as much as he appeared, and said with a sincere smile: "Let's just eat this, you can eat it yourself." “

Chen Ci glanced at him coldly and spit out a sentence: "What qualifications do you have to order me?" What I said, don't make me repeat it a second time, remember it. ”

"Remember...... Remembered. Si Taiping, including his father, nodded busily. Then he reacted: No, this is my family, what are we doing for the same as our grandson? Why was he scared like this with a word? The family of three looked at each other, unclear, but by the time they reacted, Chen Ci had already gone out. The three of them had no choice but to go out to eat.

In the following process of getting along, Si Taiping got to know Chen's character more and more, and immediately felt that this person was very good.

There are two things to keep in mind when dealing with him:

First: You can't talk too much nonsense, and you can't alarm him if you don't have something serious.

Second: Everything he says makes sense, and he must not be treated as nonsense, otherwise he will definitely regret it. Si Taiping has a deep understanding of this, but it has nothing to do with the current topic, so he will not express it for the time being.

Other than these two points, which are very stressful, there is little to find fault with the rest.

Getting back to the point, Si Taiping prepared his things, and the two of them went on the road, in addition to Si Taiping's own things, Chen Ci also had an equipment bag, but what Si Taiping didn't know what was in it.

The two entered the mountain silently, Si Taiping led the way in front, and accurately took the route in his memory, which was full of mountains and rocks, and the grass and trees were not lush, so there were no insects, snakes and beasts, but it was a big detour, but it was relatively safe.

But he didn't expect that he hadn't entered the mountain for a long time, the road was gone, there had been a disaster such as a mudslide, the mountain rock was covered with a piece of silt covered with artemisia grass, insects, flies and waste, poisonous snakes were moving, and there was a broken road in front of him, that is, a large piece collapsed in the middle, so he couldn't walk.

Si Taiping hesitated and said: "This road is broken, we can only take another one, that road takes the canyon, it is very dangerous, and there is a lost stone ridge, I have never been there, you think it out yourself, do you want to go, what are you going to do with that red rock painting?" ”

Chen Ci glanced at him coldly and said, "Change the route and continue walking." As for the question that Si Taiping asked later, the statement obviously ignored it automatically.

The two then continued on their way through the canyon.
