The mountain people have a simple temperament, and in order to make money, they can grab their heads to pull business, but once they have a fixed master, everyone will tacitly stop snatching and congratulate Malatang instead.

"Lao Huang is really a good fate, having such a capable girl is much better than that stupid son in my family. ”

"Isn't it? This girl is handsome, and she can do her work better than a boy, but it's a pity that she is a little mute, otherwise it would be just right to be my son's cousin. ”

"Mountain dog, you are still counted, who doesn't know that your son is also an inconvenient body, obviously he has a crush on other people's Malatang, but Lao Huang doesn't like it, and you still hold it up?"

The mountain people were smiling and chatting around the wrangler, and there were also those who took the opportunity to sell mountain goods to Xu Changsheng and Wang Qiang, and Malatang just stood aside with a smile.

The big business was taken away by himself, and he always had to leave some benefits for the villagers, which was explained by his father.

Wang Qiang didn't want to buy any mountain goods, but under Xu Changsheng's instructions, he bought two large bags of white potatoes and several large pieces of mountain pork, some fresh and some preserved pork. I am very confused in my heart, the white potatoes in Sichuan are white and greasy, better than those elsewhere, it is good to buy some back and distribute them to colleagues and friends, and the cured pork in Sichuan is also good, but what the hell is fresh pork, this thing can't be put for a few days?

What's more, this time I came to save people, not to travel, how can I still buy things? It's just that I have a request for others, and people have traveled thousands of miles for me, so what else can I say about buying a few things, so although I was a little anxious in my heart, I still did what Xu Changsheng wanted.

"We chased all the way from Rongcheng, and the closer we got to 'that thing', the more sensitive my spiritual sense became, and I am afraid that this is an old demon who has only accumulated years! Although I still don't know what he wants to do to your girlfriend Xiaoli, I still have to be cautious. ”

Lao Xu was obviously looking at those cheap and high-quality mountain goods, but his voice sounded in his mind: "Although the demon background is low, he has the same path, and maybe he has spiritual consciousness like us cultivators." So from this moment on, you and I are just old travel friends who have come here, and we must never mention your girlfriend's affairs, let alone be too eager.

You come and see, this mountain red is a good thing, sweet and sour, delicious, big, don't miss it, I don't think it's too much to buy a hundred catties, back to Xiangyunguan can be made into rock sugar gourds for Qingping'er to sell, she has long been clamoring to sell rock sugar gourds......"

With Wang Qiang, an old criminal policeman, and Xu Changsheng here, it is not difficult to find someone, and the two of them almost followed Xiaoli to this remote mountain village.

But as soon as she arrived, Xiaoli entered the mountain, and Wang Qiang could no longer track it down even if he used the internal system. Xu Changsheng could have used Taoist techniques to pursue, but this time he encountered a demon, and now he doesn't know the depth of the other party, so he still has to be cautious in everything, he can only restrain his mana, and even the acquired consciousness god does not dare to release it easily, just pretending to be an ordinary traveler.

Even if you want to find out Xiaoli's whereabouts, you must strive to be 'natural', only in this way that you will not be surprised by the old demon.

"Yes, these mountain goods are really good, it's a pity not to buy them, this time we have to buy more. ”

What is Wang Qiang's background? As soon as he heard it, he understood everything, nodded to Xu Changsheng with a smile, and began to carefully select mountain goods, just like a travel enthusiast who has just arrived at the scenic spot and sees everything and wants to buy everything home.

In addition to the red and white potatoes in the mountains, there are also various mountain goods such as yam, yellow essence, shou wu, and ganoderma lucidum, which are much stronger than the goods in the city, but the price is less than one-third or even one-quarter of the city.

The more Wang Qiang buys, the more comfortable he becomes, and gradually begins to immerse himself in the fun of shopping, no wonder Xiaoli always likes to go shopping and buy things, it turns out that spending a lot of money feels so cool? Now he only hates that the trunk of the Wrangler is too small, and he should have driven a pickup truck.

"Alright, almost. ”

Xu Changsheng smiled, there was no shortage of high-grade herbs in these mountain goods, which were exactly the good things he needed. This time let Lao Wang bleed heavily, in fact, it was to let him return his favor, although it was a little reluctant, but it also helped him break a cause and effect.

In the Song Dynasty, there was a high monk in Hangzhou, who often played games to solve people's difficulties, and helped the poor for nothing, but when he met the big businessmen who needed his help, he was never ambiguous, and he had to hemorrhage, in fact, this is the truth.

The two bought a lot of mountain goods, so that the neighbors of Malatang benefited, everyone happily surrounded Xu Changsheng and Wang Qiang to Malatang's home, along the way walked two or three lakes, crossed two single-plank bridges, until a few half-grass and half-mud houses faintly revealed in the valley, those neighbors laughed and dispersed.

"Little girl, are those your houses?"

Wang Qiang frowned slightly. Before he entered the mountain, he also envied Tao Yuanming's mountain life all day long, imagining how comfortable it would be to drink mountain spring water and eat vegetables without pesticide contamination every day, but when he really arrived at the land, he realized that there were also stinky pigsties, mosquitoes flying all over the sky, and thatched houses that could be broken by the autumn wind at any time.

couldn't help but glance at the delicate and clean girl in front of him again, Wang Qiang really couldn't imagine how she had lived for more than ten years. Is it only through the hardships of life like her that she will know the preciousness of life and have the most innocent smile?

Wang Qiang swore that he had only seen such a smile on the faces of two people in his life, and people would give up all their pretense and suspicion at first sight, one was Qingping'er, and the other was the mute little girl in front of him.

When Malatang excitedly led the two to the front of the house, Huang Zijian had been waiting here on crutches for a long time.

After a few glances at the two of them, Huang Zijian's face showed joy, after all, he had been in the city for a few years, and his eyesight was much stronger than that of ordinary mountain people, and he knew that the family could add another amount of income when he looked at the outfits of the two.

Malatang wanted to make money to see a doctor for his father, but Huang Zijian wanted to save a rich dowry for his daughter, so that she could find a good family in the future and never have to stay in the mountains to endure hardships. Making money has always had a strong smell of copper, but here the Huang family's father and daughter are like shining gold......

The father and daughter of the Huang family warmly welcomed the two into the largest house, Lao Huang accompanied the two to set up a dragon gate array, and Malatang excitedly ran to the kitchen to prepare dinner. After boiling water, he brought out a new straw mat and quilt from the only wooden cabinet in the house.

These are all new things that were purchased only the year before last, and they are reluctant to use them, so they are specially used to greet guests.

Everyone in the city has a habit of cleanliness, this is what Daddy Huang Zijian said, Malatang is very understandable, in fact, she is also a person with a habit of cleanliness among the mountain people, and she has to take a bath and wash her hair every day.

The two guests came late, and now the sun is about to set, and they must stay here today, Malatang ran to pick a lot of herbs, this kind of herbs have no name, but after igniting, they will emit a unique aroma, drive away all the mosquitoes, and the two guests can have a good night's sleep with this thing.

Malatang's movements were fast, and when the sunset had not yet completely set, a table of fragrant meals had been placed on the table. The dishes are very simple, stewed local pork with yam, stir-fried with 100 bacteria, snake meat soup, and several large plates of seasonal fresh vegetables and fresh meat slices, bacon sausages are washed and directly put on the plate, with spicy hot base carefully prepared by Malatang, delicious and not greasy.

The staple food is a white bun that is larger than a fist, accompanied by a yellow, orange and orange stick porridge, which is large and filling.

Wang Qiang swallowed his saliva when he saw it, but he still couldn't help but didn't move his chopsticks.

He saw Huang Zijian and Malatang carrying a big bowl of stick porridge and a few steamed buns ready to eat in the kitchen, the father and daughter didn't even have a plate of decent dishes, so they grabbed a piece of black pickles in their hands, this steel-like man's eyes were a little red, and he opened his throat and said: "Lao Huang, what are you doing here? How can there be a reason to throw the guests aside and not accompany them?"

"Those meat dishes are used to entertain guests, and people in the mountains are not used to eating them, and they will spoil their stomachs if they eat them. Huang Zijian shook his head again and again.

"Yes, you will eat bad stomach, and you won't eat Malatang. ”

Malatang swallowed his saliva secretly, shook his head with his father, and his little face was full of struggle.

Xu Changsheng said with a smile: "How can there be such a reason? Lao Huang, don't worry, this meal is what we invited your father and daughter to eat, and we will still count the money when we look back." Look at how many dishes Malatang makes? We two are not pot-bellied men, how can we finish eating?"

Having successively obtained the two innate vitality of Ge Wuwu and the Buddha bone relics, Xu Changsheng is no longer the big stomach king who can eat half a cow; every time she talks about it, Qing Ping'er will be very regretful, how delicious the cold noodles she makes, Brother Xu should eat half a bucket of each meal.

Huang Zijian was told that his heart was broken, and his face couldn't help but blush: "It's okay, Malatang, you go to the backyard to dig the altar, and your daughter is red, and today Daddy, I want to accompany the guests." Two guests, it's not me boasting, although the Huang family doesn't have any good things, but the daughter red brewed by this ancestral recipe can't be bought with money, Malatang is sixteen years old this year, and this wine has been hidden for sixteen years. ”

Huang Zijian really didn't brag, the wine seal was only half gone, and the rich aroma of the wine came to his nose, poured into the black earthen bowl commonly used by farmers, and the golden wine turned purple-red, viscous as honey, and its color was sweet.

Wang Qiang couldn't help it for a long time, picked up the bowl and said dry, and drank most of the bowl in one bite. Huang Zijian hurriedly stopped, this is his daughter Hong, who has been hiding for sixteen years, and she is also very drunk when she is drunk, you can't drink like this.

Xu Changsheng picked up the bowl and took a sip lightly, nodding again and again, the so-called immortal literati have a pot of wine, and Taoists never refuse the things in the cup. Although this wine is a little worse than the immortal brewed jade dew in his mind, it is also a rare good wine in the world. It's a pity that it's his daughter Hong, it should be the dowry that Huang Zijian prepared for Malatang, otherwise he would like to buy a few jars to bring back to Xiangyunguan.

Malatang also poured himself a small half bowl of wine under Wang Qiang's puffing, but he was reluctant to take a sip of it in his hand, but he just put it under his nose and sniffed it secretly.

Seeing Wang Qiang drink a bowl in two or three sips, Malatang's eyes gradually turned red, and the crystal tears turned around, and it seemed that they would fall down at any time.

"Brother Wang, take it easy, this is Malatang's wedding wine, you drink it so fast, Malatang will feel distressed. ”

As soon as Xu Changsheng opened his mouth, Malatang nodded again and again, looking at Wang Qiang with a very strange gaze, which made Lao Wang embarrassed to continue drinking.

Huang Zijian glared and wanted to scold Malatang, but was stopped by Xu Changsheng: "Brother Huang, don't scold your daughter, which girl doesn't have spring...... There is a 'wicked guest' in the house, and she drinks other people's dowry wine, can the little girl not be sad?"

"Ahh......hh

Malatang shook her head again and again after hearing this, as if she meant that she didn't have it, but unfortunately her eyes betrayed her, and who could she hide from her pitiful appearance full of tears?

Being looked at by Malatang so pitifully, Wang Qiang couldn't drink wine no matter how thick-skinned he was, so he simply ate Malatang with his head bored. The spicy tang made by Malatang is really better than that of the master in the city, so that people can't stop eating a bite, and the more Lao Wang eats, the more addicted he becomes, and he is so spicy that he sweats profusely.

"When the girl in the mountains reaches the age of sixteen, it's time to get married...... But the guests of my house have also seen it, who would take a fancy to her as a mute girl......?

"Hehe, God must drink and peck when treating people, closing one window will inevitably open another window at the same time, Malatang is just a chance to come, Brother Huang doesn't need to be in a hurry. ”

Xu Changsheng felt that this little girl was pure and good at first sight, and she was a rare fairy dew pearl, and she had a fate with Lao Xu and me, and she had already had the intention to fulfill her, but after all, it was the first time she met, and she didn't open her mouth to ask someone for a girl, so she didn't talk much about Malatang, but only buried the foreshadowing first.

"Brother Huang, both of us are travel enthusiasts, old travelers for many years, I feel that those famous attractions are not interesting, so I love to find some natural scenic spots that have not been developed, I see that you have beautiful mountains and rivers here, I don't know if there is a good place to go?"

Xu Changsheng said with a smile: "It's best if the scenery is beautiful and there are some moving legends." ”

Huang Zijian looked at him, shook his head and said: "If it is like what the guest said, we have already become a famous scenic spot like Jiucungou and Huanglongdi, how can it be so desolate? ”

"Brother Huang, think about it again? On the way here, I heard that this place is called Suolong Mountain, this name is not ordinary, how can there be no story? Or Brother Huang, do you have any concerns and refuse to tell us......

"Ahh......h

After listening to Xu Changsheng's words, without waiting for Huang Zijian to speak, Malatang had already screamed, and his hands were quickly gesturing, as if he wanted to say something to Xu Changsheng.

Huang Zijian glared at his daughter: "Don't mess around, we can't stop the guests from going to that place, but how can we lead the guests there? Have you forgotten the rules in the village?"

"Brother Huang, you're not right, the greatest pleasure of our old travelers is to explore the most beautiful, desolate, and weird places in the world, if there is any good place to go in this Suolong Mountain, you shouldn't hide it. ”

"Hey, the guest knows that this place is not actually called Suolong Mountain, it was originally called Mantou Mountain, and later it was renamed because of one of the mountains in this mountain range, called Suolong Mountain......"

Huang Zijian sighed, and muttered a little heavily: "Mantou Mountain, Suolongling, good mountains and rivers are not good to go, ten people come and nine people return...... It means that no matter how many people enter this Lock Dragon Ridge, there is always one left......
