"Moon Village? You mean, you're calling it Moon Village? ”

Dong Que and Zheng Xiaofeng tacitly glanced at each other, and both showed different degrees of excitement expressions, Dong Que didn't dare to believe it for a while, and couldn't help but ask again twice, Aini nodded, blinked a few times and asked, "Sounds ...... Are you interested in us? ”

Dong Que said: "Let's not hide it, we are looking for a place related to the moon. ”

Ani said "oh" and said: "That's a coincidence, we do have a lot of connections with the moon here, I heard the elders say that we once believed in some gods related to the moon here, and the village also built many temples for the god of the moon, but later in order to build a mosque, the original temples were demolished, it is said that hundreds of years ago we had another name here, called 'the place where the moon rises'." ”

When Dong Que heard this, he immediately stroked his palms and smiled, and said in his heart that this was really a nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it was only a little effortless to get it, and the two of them made eye contact, and they both felt that this should be the place they were looking for.

Dong Que thanked him again, and then asked them what kind of dinner they had here. Dong Que ordered a few dishes, and said that he would go downstairs to eat after a short rest. Ani left, and the two men walked into the house and simply packed up their things.

Dong Que said: "How about it, I'll just say that our trip will be very smooth, find this village, the task is almost half completed, this boss's personality is also very enthusiastic, and it feels very easy to get along with." ”

Zheng Xiaofeng nodded and said: "Actually, this is not an unexpected thing, we are strictly following the route in my memory, as long as this village is still there, it is only a matter of time to find it, not to mention that we have a car, the efficiency will inevitably be greatly improved." ”

As soon as the car was mentioned, Dong Que couldn't help but sigh again, with a sad face, and muttered silently: "I don't know if this car is made like this, can the boss still refund the deposit to me......"

About forty minutes later, the two of them went downstairs, and Ani was just finishing her meal and serving it to the table. The time was about ten o'clock in the evening, there were still several tables of people sitting in the courtyard, everyone was chatting while eating, the scene was very lively, a thin man wearing a dark long windbreaker walked to Dong Quede's side familiarly, held a cigarette, and borrowed a fire from him. Aini said hello to the two of them, and Dong Que said, "Your business here is good." ”

Aini smiled: "In the past two days, there have been a lot of outsiders coming to us, and most of the time we are still very deserted, and this situation cannot be caught up with a few times a year." ”

The two sat down and looked at the dishes, and they both felt that the appearance and taste were serious and good. A plate of beef in sauce, a plate of slippery liver tips, a plate of fried mountain vegetables, a plate of fresh fruits, and a big bowl of steaming haggis soup, all of which are counted in the accommodation fee of 120 yuan, which is simply a bargain. Seeing that Aini was about to clean up the stove, Dong Que hurriedly stopped him, pulled him to the table and said, "Brother, it's been a busy day, why don't you sit down and eat two bites together?" ”

Aini smiled and waved his hand, "No, I won't bother you." ”

Dong Que said: "It's okay, it just so happens that we have some other things we want to ask you about." ”

Ani said "ah", and then sat down happily, Dong Que had to pour him a bowl of haggis soup, and handed him a cigarette into his hand. Ani took two symbolic sips and asked, "If there's anything, just ask." ”

Dong Que said: "That's the case, we plan to stay here for one night, and we will continue to set off tomorrow, but we don't know how to go next, so we think we should find an experienced local to take us safer, I don't know if there is a special guide in our town, we don't have too many requirements, just speak Mandarin." ”

This is something that Zheng Xiaofeng and Dong Que have decided a long time ago, that is, after finding Moon Village, they will directly look for a guide on the spot, after all, according to the "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Urn", the doorman of the arbitrary gate back then was after arriving at Moon Village, with the help of local villagers, along an ancient river to find the ancient country of Pozi, if they are lucky, the two of them can also do the same, maybe there are still people in this village who recognize the road back then.

However, when Aini heard this, he laughed a little embarrassed, and Dong Missing's question didn't seem to be too easy to answer. Dong Que hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong? ”

Aini said: "Let's be here, there are many people who know the desert with experience, every time we go out to buy, we have to cross a large area of no man's land, no experience is definitely not good, but you also require that you must be able to speak Mandarin, then I'm afraid it will not be so easy to find, I am the only one in the whole village who can communicate in Mandarin without barriers, and the others are at most just some daily language." ”

Dong Que nodded thoughtfully, and unconsciously glanced at Zheng Xiaofeng, and the latter only blinked slightly, Dong Que immediately asked: "That brother, why don't you be our guide, we will definitely not treat you badly at the price, if it is convenient, you will consider it?" ”

Ani hesitated for a moment and said, "If I'm a guide...... Actually, it's okay, but the store needs me, I can't leave home for too long, let's talk about the direction you want to go in general, if the round-trip time is not more than three days, I have no problem. ”

Dong Que said: "I don't know if there is an ancient river channel near us?" Or something like an underground river? ”

Originally, this was just a very casual question from Dong Que, but what he didn't expect at all, and what Zheng Xiaofeng didn't expect at all, was that Aini's face suddenly changed after hearing this, and his eyes became extremely gloomy. I only heard him ask, "Are you looking for the ancient river channel?" What happens after you find it? Which way are you going? ”

Dong Que was a little stunned for a while when Aini saw it, this seemed to be the first time Aini showed eyes other than hospitality. Zheng Xiaofeng saw that Dong Que had been holding on for a long time, and he didn't say why, so he directly took over the conversation and said truthfully to Aini: "After finding the ancient river channel, we will march towards the river, the general direction should be west, and the destination is the legendary ancient country of Pozi. ”

As soon as these words came out, Aini's face was already difficult to see to the extreme, he immediately shook his head, stood up directly from his chair and said, "Impossible, I can't take you to that place." ”

Saying that, Aini wanted to leave, Zheng Xiaofeng stood up suddenly, walked in front of Aini with a very gloomy expression, and stopped him face to face. Startled by him, Aini involuntarily stopped and asked in a barely audible voice, "What are you going to do?" ”

Dong Que hurriedly walked over, patted Zheng Xiaofeng on the shoulder, signaled him to control his emotions, pulled Aini aside, hooked his shoulder and said: "I'm sorry, my buddy is a little mentally ill, he wants to get angry and beat people from time to time, fortunately, he hurts people in his dreams, don't worry about him, I'll help you watch him, but you just said that it is impossible to take us to that place, why?" Is there something wrong with that place? ”

Aini opened his mouth, stopped talking, turned his head and glanced at Zheng Xiaofeng with his residual eyes, and couldn't help but shudder. Dong Que hesitated for a long time, and finally took out a ten-yuan note and stuffed it into Aini's hand.

Aini said with a smile: "Friend, this is not about money, let me tell you the truth, follow the ancient river and go deep into the desert, there are often evil spirits in that place!" ”

"Demons? What the heck? You're not lying to me, are you? You little wit. ”

Aini slapped his thigh speechlessly, and said, "Hey", "Friend, I really didn't lie to you, you just go all over the village to ask, and no one will agree to take you to that place, the ancient river is further west of our desert forbidden area, and the people in the village can't hide!" There used to be a lot of people who had to go there to escape the wind and sand, and as a result, eight out of ten would never come back. ”

"Really? I don't believe it. Dong Que was still very skeptical, "What does that evil ghost look like, could it be that some of you have seen it with your own eyes?" ”

"I've seen it before! When my grandfather was alive, he had strayed into the desert to escape the wind and sand, and at night he had a dozen sheep with him, and one of them got lost, so he put the others in his place and climbed over a sand dune to find them. And when he brings that sheep back, guess what? No sooner had he climbed to the top of the sand dune than he saw a dark shadow with green eyes floating into the distance, and a dozen sheep had all fallen to the ground. At that time, my grandfather felt that the situation was wrong, and did not dare to go down until the shadow disappeared, but as soon as he arrived, he saw that the dozen or so sheep were all dead, all the internal organs were hollowed out, and the blood of the sheep was bleeding all over the ground! My grandfather was frightened, and he couldn't take care of the rest of the sheep, so he ran back all the way, and didn't even dare to turn back along the way, and it is estimated that if it wasn't for the lost sheep, my grandfather would have to end up like the others! ”

Dong Que said: "Brother, the shadow your grandfather saw may just be some kind of beast, the ghost is also very busy, don't push everything on the ghost, your kind of storyline has already stinked on the street in horror novels, and it is estimated that not many people are willing to read it when it is written as an adventure novel." If you want to ask for more money, just say it, there's no need to make up stories to scare us. ”

"This-this-this- how can I be making up a story?!" Ani was so anxious that her face turned red, and her mouth was about to pop out of her native language, "You go out to inquire, the youngest son of the Mura family just had an accident two days ago, and the family didn't watch him when he went out to play, and he disappeared for several days without a trace!" We organized dozens of young and strong young men to dare to go out and look for them, and sure enough, we found the child's clothes at the border of the desert! The clothes were covered in blood, and we all said that the child must have been eaten by demons! It's useless for you to say anything today, there's no way I'm going to promise you! ”

Ani's attitude was so resolute that it didn't really look like he was lying. Dong Que was helpless for a while, and there was really nothing he could do, so he directly played the scoundrel: "I don't care!" You're going to have to find us a guide anyway! If you can't find ...... We're here for you! ”

"Y-how can you do this!"

"That's all I have! What can you do! ”

Seeing that the two of them had been fighting for a long time and there was no result, Zheng Xiaofeng, who had been silent for a long time on the side, finally couldn't help it, sighed and walked over, Aini saw this, and unconsciously took two steps back. Zheng Xiaofeng suddenly said: "You have a ghost here, that's just right, this person is a mage, he can help you catch ghosts." ”

As soon as these words came out, Aini and Dong Que were both stupid, Dong Que looked at Zheng Xiaofeng with a look of resentment, and said in his heart: You kid deliberately messed with me, right? At my current level, I dare to call myself a mage?

Zheng Xiaofeng patted Dong Quede's shoulder, and said casually: "Come on, don't let the boss down, and give your master a long face." ”

With that, he left the courtyard on his own, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.

Ani scratched her head, and asked suspiciously and expectantly, "Friend, are you really a mage?" ”

"This ...... Groove ...... Perhaps......"

Dong Quede's face twitched for a while, and he couldn't even laugh if he wanted to laugh bitterly, damn, it seems that this guy sold him without hesitation or sympathy in order to find a good guide.

"Zheng Xiaofeng, you are also a person?" Dong Quede's heart suddenly couldn't help but curse secretly.
