Chapter 250: Dragon Mountain
With the game to play, the middle journey became much lighter, and at about two o'clock in the morning of the next day, the train stopped in Longshan County, Xiangxi Tujia Autonomous Region. Chen Hu and several people in the same shop said goodbye and got off the car and set foot on the land of Longshan.
Longshan County, located in the northwestern border of Hunan Province, is located in the hinterland of the Wuling Mountains, connecting Jingchu and Bang Bashu, and is called "the hole of Hunan and Hubei Sichuan" in history. The terrain is high in the north and low in the south, steep in the east and gentle in the west, the mountains in the territory are towering, the peaks and peaks are undulating, and the Youshui, Lishui and their tributaries are criss-crossing in the middle. The region belongs to the subtropical continental humid monsoon climate zone, with four distinct seasons.
With a total area of 3,131 square kilometers, it has jurisdiction over 34 townships and 462 villages, with a total population of 590,000, and 16 ethnic minorities such as Tujia and Miao account for 71% of the total population.
The county's modern style is in harmony with local characteristics, except for the main area of the county using reinforced concrete to build buildings and shopping malls, the surrounding area is mostly black tile dwellings, rich in ethnic characteristics.
The hotel where Chen Hu temporarily settled is this style, and the main body of the house is all wood, which makes people enter the retro national culture from the modern urban civilization in an instant.
However, Chen Hu didn't have much of an appreciation. Let's not talk about the fatigue of the train, but for the big battle that may start tomorrow, he still needs to continue to make some preparations, but he doesn't have so much time to post a young illness.
What's more, the scenery is here, and if you really want to see it, you can wait until it's over and enjoy it slowly, so that you can not only see more, but also taste more.
Then Chen Hu practiced cross-legged on the bed for a while, recovered his spirit, and then waved his hand again to take out yellow paper, cinnabar brushes and other things from the space, silently recited the mantra of purifying the mouth and heart in his heart, and then turned to the prayer, holding the pen body, and the aura traveled to the end of the pen, driving the cinnabar blood ink to quickly write the next weird runes on the rune paper.
At his current level, he no longer needs to open the altar to legislate, offer incense to the statue, and ask God to cooperate.
After a few hours like this, Chen Hu's mind was a little exhausted, so he didn't continue, put away all the tools and the pseudo-spirit talisman he had drawn, and lay down on the bed again and fell asleep.
There was no more awakening in the middle until dawn.
After eating breakfast rich in Tujia and Miao characteristics, asking the name of the road, I took the motorcycle towards Longshan Village.
In this kind of county-level place in the south, motorcycles are the most common taxis in the local area, and real taxis have become a minority.
After galloping for more than an hour, Chen Hu came to Longshan Village, a village that was also mysterious and unusual to the locals. The master who paid to send the motorcycle and walked into the village.
The atmosphere is really very unusual, there is no vitality of ordinary villages, but there is a kind of indescribable weirdness, there are few pedestrians in the village, only some old people leaning on the door and sitting on the threshold, or smoking sweat cigarettes, or emptying their heads in a daze, and their attention falls on Chen Hu, the only outsider in the village.
"Baby, what are you doing here?" asked a man who seemed kinder, but whose eyes were also unspeakably strange.
"Find someone. Chen Hu stood still and replied.
"Find someone to sprinkle. β
"Wang Yuanjia. β
Sure enough, as soon as the word Wang Yuan came out, the atmosphere in the village changed again. Then, it was still the first person to talk, and the man asked, "Are you looking for him?" β
"It's a stranger. β
"Stranger, then you ask him to be a son. β
Speaking of this, obvious vigilance had already appeared on the man's face, and his eyes staring at Chen Hu were full of danger.
"I'm not looking for him, I'm looking for his elders, preferably direct ones, who can control him, I have something I want to talk to them about. Chen Hu didn't care about the other party's attitude, and said calmly.
"Looking for his senior?" the man frowned, observed for a moment, and then turned and said, "Then let's go with the old man." β
Chen Hu did not hesitate, followed quickly, and walked straight towards the depths of the village......
It wasn't until I came to a gate is that the faΓ§ade is very magnificent, quite a bit of the ancient big family's ancestral hall like the house in the TV series that stopped, and then stepped over the threshold of half a meter high, walked into the courtyard paved with big bluestone, and finally walked into the hall with portraits, calligraphy and paintings, Taishi chairs, and a proper look of the old landlord's house.
"Three babies, three babies, someone is looking for you!" the old man was not polite, and shouted directly into the house. The voice is very loud and full of neutrality, which does not match his superficial image of an elderly person at all.
Needless to say, if this old man is not well maintained and healthy, he is also a practitioner, otherwise it is really unreasonable.
"Who, who's looking for me?"
Then another voice came from inside, a middle-aged man who was less than one meter eight tall and looked a little thin, but because of the clothing, he couldn't see the specific situation, and the curtain appeared in the eyes of Chen Hu and the old man.
"Me!"
"It's the eighth uncle, and besides, this is the ......" The man looked at the old man and Chen Hu, and then wondered.
"The baby came outside, saying that he had something to talk to the elders of the source baby, so I brought him. The man who was called the eighth uncle by the middle-aged man pointed to Chen Hu and introduced.
"En?" Hearing this, the man frowned and looked at Chen Hu.
"I, Chen Hu, Your Excellency must be Wang Yuan's father, Wang Chenghei. Chen Hu clenched his fists and said calmly with a look of neither humility nor arrogance.
"Yes, it's me, what's the matter with you. Wang Chengsi's expression remained unchanged, but he looked at him with sharp eyes and asked rhetorically.
"I would like to talk to Your Excellency about Wang Yuan. After a pause, Chen Hu said bluntly and unceremoniously, "If Your Excellency is not like your Wang family, please restrain Wang Yuan and ask him not to come to trouble me again, otherwise I will not show mercy next time and go directly to his life." β
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall changed, and an extremely depressing atmosphere spread among Chen Hu, Wang Chenghe, and the eighth uncle of the old man.
Wang Chenghe's eyes were deep, and he didn't know what to think, the eighth uncle's eyelids shrugged, and his face became serious.
"Are you threatening me? After a while, Wang Chengsi spoke, his tone was flat, and he couldn't hear any emotion, but he didn't know what the power was, but he said indifferently with a kind of danger in it.
"No, I'm just stating, but if you think it's a threat, I don't mind. Chen Hu also looked calm and abnormal, as if he didn't notice that the atmosphere at this time was different, and said calmly.
"Heh, you are very bold, since the founding of my Wang family, few people have dared to talk to the people of my Wang family like this. Do you know what happened to the first few people who spoke like you?" This time it was not Wang Chengsi who spoke, but the eighth uncle who shrugged his eyelids next to him, his expression seemed to be smiling, and his tone was full of mockery.
"I want to hear about it!"
