Chapter 8 The Big Worm of the White Python Mountain
Chapter 8 White Python Mountain Big Worm
Hu Yang was a little apprehensive when he heard this, but his feet had already stepped into the chaimen, and he saw that the old man looked kind and not like a bad person.
The thatched hut, as its name suggests, is made of long-leaved white thatch, which is very common on the edge of the desert, and the interior layout is extremely simple, and it seems that the owner is also extremely frugal.
"Uncle, there are villages and towns nearby, let's supplement the supplies for tourism" Hu Yang took out a hundred yuan and stuffed it to the old man
"Hey, you're getting old! It's useless to ask for money! The old man seemed to be more than seventy, but it was extremely rare to be blinded and deaf, and he lifted a black iron kettle to pour water into the bowl in front of the two, waved his hand and said, "There is a temporary village at the intersection in front, where can I go to buy some food, and where are the people who come here to rest!" ”
After the two understood the situation, coupled with Loulan's warning just now, the two of them left without even drinking water, and Hu Yang pressed a hundred yuan under the bowl with his hand, and thanked the old man repeatedly.
"What did you mean? Is he really that mysterious? The two went out of the chai door and watched the old man turn his head and enter the door, Hu Yang couldn't wait to ask
"You said that in this vast desert, there is suddenly a thatched hut, for the sake of safety, I tried to invade his divine sense, but found that it could not be detected, although this situation has happened before, but the difference is that the information is weak, but it will definitely not be nothing! Don't you think it's weird? Loulan also held back her words
"I don't think there's anything unusual, it's not a lonely house, doesn't it mean that there is a village in front? Aren't you too nervous, you? Let's go, go to the village to make up some things, it's just that the old man just said that the people who came here, I don't understand if there are many people here, why do they come here? It made you so nervous that you didn't even dare to ask."
"It's better to be careful, people's hearts are not ancient," Loulan did not refute
The village is indeed not far away, and there is only a few words to be reached.
Indeed, it is not like a village, it is a dozen or so blue brick houses, it seems that the age is not short, the plane trees planted around the house have been higher than the roof, and the canopy of the tree hides a shade that attracts many people not to stay in the house, they all stay on the stone in front of the door, and there are few people who have seen strangers coming, and it seems that there are too many outsiders, and they are used to it.
Although the sparrows are small, you can see the end of the street at a glance, but the signboards are all bright, and there are postal savings, guesthouses, shops, grocery stores, and yakiniku restaurants......
The signboard of the big plate of chicken at the entrance of the roast restaurant occupies one wall, and the saliva of the poplar can't help but flow down, and there is also a winery, the signboard is more interesting - three bowls! It is easy to think that the three bowls in Wu Song's fight against the tiger are not enough.
Hu Yang didn't wait for Loulan to follow and stepped straight into the cooking restaurant, it was the time of the meal, there were a lot of people eating inside, bustling, picked a table by the window and sat down, only to find that the decoration in the store was similar to the costume TV series, they were all thick and bulky solid wood tables and chairs, Hu Yang knew that the country style and antique style were popular now, but I don't know if there were heroes among the people dining.......
The two of them hadn't eaten properly for a long time, so they ordered a large plate of chicken, four bottles of beer, and the boss gave a plate of white noodles.
"Unexpected! Why are there so many people, I just don't know if I can find ash worms," a frizzy young man at the next table said in a stiff Guanzhong accent.
"It's all good luck, but I heard that last month there was an old man who caught a pound," a forty-year-old middle-aged man at the same table continued
"A pound? A pound? The guy in Guan was surprised when he heard this, and almost burst out of his mouth, "Pour your hands on the spot once, and make a net profit of 40,000!" Oh my god! ”
When Hu Yang heard this, he felt that his intention to come to Bai Python Mountain this time was almost the same, and he could get a little information more or less, it seemed that he had come to the right place, and the boss just sent the beer over, Hu Yang glanced at Loulan and picked up two bottles of beer and turned around, handed a bottle of beer to the man in Guanzhong, and said loudly: Brother, you Shaanxi Township Party?
"You too...... Shaanxi's? Where? The Guanzhong man was stunned
"On the north plateau of Xianyang, Northern Wei, do you know?"
"Northern Wei Village, you can dig out an antique in the ground with a pout, how can you not know first!"
Shaanxi Guanzhong dialect: The township party saw the township party with tears in its eyes! Guanzhong people are very affectionate, Hu Yang took the opportunity to pour a full cup for the two, and the three of them met together.
"Brother, why are you here? This place is deserted! Hu Yang asked in a low voice, with a look of sincerity that he didn't know anything.
"It's not about getting some money!" The man in Guanzhong drank a glass of wine, and when he heard this, he raised his head and pointed to the adjacent table, and the third table was biased, "That's not to make money!" You listen to the accent everywhere, Northeastern, Hebei, Henan...... Our brother Sichuan! Suddenly remembered something, and raised his finger to point at the forty-year-old man on the table.
"Ash worms! More expensive than gold! The man in Guanzhong raised his hand to pour himself a cup, and Hu Yang hurriedly filled it when he saw this
"Brother, you have said that you have been blinded, what kind of ash worm is so valuable, I just heard your brother say that you can buy 40,000 yuan for one catty?" Hu Yang continued to ask
"White Neck! White neck one! The man smiled when he heard this, and the white-necked Guanzhong was stunned who didn't understand anything.
"Yes! Tell your brother about it! "Populus euphratica took advantage of the victory to pursue
Legends, maybe not legends! There is a treasure on the white python mountain, the ash worm, it is said that after refining, it contains a unique protein that can delay the aging of the human body, and the result is spread to ten or hundred, especially for women who love beauty, they are willing to spend a lot of money to buy, from the initial one pound of one hundred, to five hundred, eight hundred, one thousand....... In recent years, it has directly rushed to the 30,000 mark, the most important thing is that its number is scarce, and it is said that there are only white python mountains, which is not the point, the point is that a kind of parasite raised by the oil secreted by a big white python in the white python mountain, the whole is soft as clotted fat, and exudes a faint fragrance.......
"Anaconda? It's not the same as saying it and not saying it! "Poplar has been most afraid of snakes since childhood, and when he heard this, he had goosebumps, and suddenly felt that this fortune had nothing to do with him, so it was better to think about transporting the poplar coffin back to reality.
"Brother, you don't know this!" The man in Guanzhong said mysteriously, "Every August is the estrus period of the python, and it will leave the python cave....... Do you know why the restaurant business is so good now? It's all for the python to estrus in a few days! In the past, there was nothing in this place, but if you look at the current scale, there are waves of people coming every year, so food and housing are expenses, so business-minded people gather here to form the current village......." The Guanzhong man raised his head and gestured to the diners in the store, and Nunu gestured to the shop outside the window, and Hu Yang understood a little.
"Is anyone able to get it?" Hu Yang asked.
This is a sensitive topic, and the middle-aged man in Sichuan on the other side hurriedly said: Difficult! No one has ever seen it! According to the owner of the hotel, he has not seen anyone get the ash worm in the 16 years since he opened the store, the whereabouts of the python are impermanent, some people go in and do not come out, and some come out, it is said that the python hole has not been found!
"How can it be that easy? If it's easy, it won't be so expensive! The Guanzhong man hurriedly interjected, and the middle-aged man in Sichuan agreed.
The big plate of chicken was served, and Loulan shouted poplar.
"Yo! Girl is good! Brother, what do you do? The man in Guanzhong turned his head and looked.
"Brother, travel is nonsense!" Hu Yang signaled that he wanted to eat, so he and the two of them touched a cup one last time, and then turned around.
After eating, the people in the store had already stumbled away, Hu Yang went to check out, and asked the boss casually, "Boss, so many people are for ash worms, is there really such a thing?" ”
"I've been in business for 16 years, and I haven't seen a real ash worm!" The boss said with a smile on his hand.
"Then, with so many people, Wuyang and Wuyang, it shouldn't be groundless, right?"
"Yes, to say no! At most, no one mentions it, and there won't be more people going back and forth! However, you can go to the canyon pass there is an old man, he has lived at the canyon mouth for more than 20 years, I heard that his ancestors have lived there, I don't know how long, he should have seen ash worms" The boss saw the customer coming in the store while talking, and hurriedly got up and greeted him, and before leaving, he said again, "However, that old man is strange!" I heard that there used to be sacrifices! ”
The two went shopping, bought a travel item, of course, the price is also expensive, fortunately, the bank has it, Loulan also bought herself a tight women's jacket, Hu Yang passed by an outdoor store, replaced with a new flashlight, machete and protective gear.
Later, through inquiry, Hu Yang felt that the owner of the thatched hut in the mountain pass was not simple, should not be an ordinary person, this Loulan has also verified, if you want to really be prepared, it seems that you have to learn more from him, make more adequate preparations, and make up his mind to buy some tea, tea sets and other things from the supermarket for the old man, Hu Yang feels that the old man should be withdrawn when he lives alone, and the biggest hobby of a withdrawn person is to drink tea, which seems to have formed a set of guidelines for human behavior and other things.
With the gifts, the two returned to the thatched house, the door was hidden, there was no response to the call for a long time, pushed the door and gently came in only to find that there was no one at home, the two waited for an hour and did not see the old man return, in the middle, Hu Yang carefully looked at this simple hut, poor, poor to be uninhabitable. The only thing that has a little weight is that Populus euphratica suddenly found a book, the pages of the book are yellow, the line binding, the age is long, the cover can no longer be found, there are many strange things painted in it, it seems to be the sun, moon and stars, rivers and deserts, and poplar wood, row by row, slip and slip, this picture seems to have seen somewhere....... I can't remember, but the pattern image is too familiar, that is, the color is almost blurred because of time.
Waited for another hour, but did not wait for the old man to come back, through today's news, I know that the best time to enter the mountain is tomorrow, anyway, this time to the White Python Mountain, this may be the closest to the Moss Valley news, no matter what, they don't want to let go of this opportunity, of course, as soon as Hu Yang heard that the white python caused discomfort, there is no way to do it, Guan Zhong dialect said: Lu Ru dragged to the half-slope! It's not about putting it down, it's not about it.
