Chapter 2: The old cow with a slap print on his face
After driving out of the range of Wutong City, the floating car tends to be stable, landing from the air, and quickly rushing forward against the ground.
Although Wutong City is the financial center of the two provinces, it has not been developed in the direction of the Kongtong Mountains, so the more you go, the more beautiful the mountains and rivers are, the green grass is like greenery, and the canopy of trees is like a canopy.
Occasionally, you can see small beasts scurrying through the grass, very fast, agile, agile and elegant.
The middle-aged guide turned around at this time and said softly:
"The Kongtong Mountains are extremely vast, and at least half of the area has never been set foot in, and we will not be able to reach the center of the Kongtong Mountains in a day or two unless we travel around the clock."
While speaking, Lu Xuan raised his head and asked calmly:
"By the way, in the Kongtong Mountains, are there Taoist temples, Taoist palaces and the like?"
The guide was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said:
"Yes, on the main peak in the very center, I remember that there were Taoists, but it didn't accept outsiders."
Lu Xuan nodded, and didn't say anything more, just looked at the little couple from time to time.
Whether it is his own inference, analysis, or the revelation of innate spiritual awareness, it is telling him. I'm afraid there will be twists and turns in this line.
Xu Lindao and Xu Qingqiu's performance is too strange, the former is suspected to be someone from Sakata Heavy Industries, and Fang Cai frequently meets the celestial travelers of Sakata Heavy Industries, and seems to be searching for something.
If you guessed it right.
While Lu Xuan was thinking in his heart, the middle-aged guide sitting at the front spoke again:
"Today go to the edge of the Kongtong Mountains first, and it should take tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to reach the center There is a small town on the edge of the Kongtong Mountains, which is extremely unique, and you can experience it well."
"Oh?" The question was raised by the young man who had stood beside the noble lady before, who looked like he should be a nephew and nephew, about twenty years old.
He asked curiously:
"Unique? What's the unique method? ”
The guide thought for a moment and explained:
"It's not in the world, there's no technology or anything like that, and the townspeople have lived there for generations, and very few people come out."
After a pause, he added:
"So there are still some ancient charms there, and some experts have inspected them, saying that the town existed in the old calendar era, or even before the old calendar era, and was not affected by the three wars, but unfortunately there are no historical materials and documents preserved."
Lu Xuan's heart moved slightly, is there such a place?
It's kind of interesting.
The noble lady Zhong Muhua also asked curiously at this time:
"What's the name of that town?"
"Gou Xianzhen."
"What? Dog Fairy Town? Is there a dog-like thing in town? ”
"No, no, no." The middle-aged guide smiled bitterly: "It's not that dog, it's this Gou."
He gestured in the palm of his hand and continued:
"These remote towns have always had weird names, not to mention that this town is even more unique. There is indeed a big obedient black dog in town, and I brought a bone for it this time. ”
Zhong Muhua nodded as if he didn't understand, and didn't ask any more, and the carriage quickly fell into calm, only the sound of Xiao Yan and Zhong Xiaoyu's little girl gnawing chestnuts came and went.
A small mouthful, a delicious enjoyment, a big handful stuffed into the mouth, the immature little face is bulging.
"Xiao Lu, open your mouth!"
Yan Jiangxue shook her two little feet leisurely, and her soft little hands grabbed a carefully peeled chestnut and sent it to the young man's mouth.
She herself ate slowly one by one, but she was eager to stuff it into Lu Xuan's mouth, but for a moment, Lu Xuan and Zhong Xiaoyu next to her were almost the same, and the chestnut made her face round.
He couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't say anything, just quietly enjoying Xiao Yan's feeding, the mountains and rivers outside the car window were stable, the long forests were continuous, the streams were clear, and the sunshine was just right.
Everything is just right.
The floating car drove slowly, Zhong Muhua was bored with Zhong Xiaoyu in his arms, and immediately chatted with Lu Xuan:
"You two aren't natives of Wutong City, are they? Why did you suddenly want to go to the Kongtong Mountains to play? It's not very well-known there. ”
Lu Xuan smiled and said politely:
"Well, I learned by chance, as soon as my friend and I put it together, we came directly, just in time for summer vacation."
Zhong Muhua nodded, pointed to the two young men sitting in front of him, and said:
"Although I am now from Langya City, Fucheng, my mother's family is in Wutong City, these two are my mother's family, one is my nephew, and the other is my younger brother."
In the front row, young people who looked about the same age turned their heads with polite smiles on their faces.
"Zhong Dacheng."
"Zhong Muxuan."
At this time, Zhong Muhua smiled again and said:
"Our family is surnamed Zhong, and my family is also surnamed Zhong. Xiaoxuan, where did you come from? ”
"From Tokai City." Lu Xuan replied with a smile: "Actually, we should go to Langya City after the summer vacation and go there to study in college." ”
"Oh?" Zhong Muhua came with some interest: "It's a coincidence, let's leave a phone number, and when you come, let me know, and I will entertain you." ”
Lu Xuan didn't refuse, and exchanged mobile phone numbers with the lady.
Several people also became acquainted with each other, and began to chat with each other, but Xiao Yan didn't talk much, just quietly looked at the young man and a few people talking nonsense, with a faint joy on his face.
Chatting and chatting, Lu Xuan looked at the couple surnamed Xu who had not spoken, his heart moved slightly, and he asked tentatively:
"You two should also be natives of Wutong, right?"
Xu Lindao turned his head consciously, pointed to himself suspiciously, and then spoke:
"Well, Xiaoqiu and I are also from Wutong City."
"I see that the two of you are very eager to leave today, this is?"
Without waiting for Xu Lindao to speak, Xu Qingqiu on the side combed his sideburns, revealing his slender neck, and explained in a soft voice:
"Well, we still have something to do in a few days, if we set off again tomorrow, counting the time of the return trip, it should be a little late, so I'll rush some, sorry."
Lu Xuan didn't speak, just smiled and waved his hand.
Time passed little by little, and when the big day began to sink in the west, the floating car finally stopped slowly.
"It's the place!" The middle-aged guide greeted: "Gou Xianzhen has arrived, because of the reason to respect the customs, we will not drive the car in. It's said to be a small town, but it's actually not big. ”
Everyone didn't say why, they got out of the car, it was close to dusk at this time, the sunset was messily scattered in the sky, and the wind had blown in the evening, and it didn't look hot.
After getting out of the car, Lu Xuan noticed that the couple had been nervously turning around, looking in the direction of Wutong City, and his heart was more certain.
These two people may have a lot to do with Sakata Heavy Industries, and this trip seems to be running away from something.
If I'm not mistaken, the two of them won't get on the bus back.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yan pulled Lu Xuan's sleeve in surprise and said softly:
"Xiao Lu Xiao Lu, this town is really a little unique."
Lu Xuan looked up, the town did not look big, and it was full of wooden houses similar to the previous shantytowns, and it was best to be just a brick house, which looked very ancient, almost making him think that he was back in a dream.
There is a big stone at the entrance of the town, and the three words 'Gou Xian Town' are engraved crookedly on the stone, and there is an old black dog that looks very old next to the stone, listless.
"Big Black!"
The middle-aged guide seemed to be familiar with the old black dog, greeted loudly, grabbed the bone in his hand and leaned in.
The old black dog glanced at him slowly, and then at the bones in his hand, and shook his head very humanely, as if he was very disdainful.
"You old dog, you don't eat bones? I've traveled all the way to bring it to you." The middle-aged guide scolded with a smile.
"That's a good place." On the side, Zhong Muhua hugged Zhong Xiaoyu and said with a smile: "Away from the city, away from the hustle and bustle, it is indeed a rare and clean place. There, for example, I hadn't seen a ploughing cow in years. ”
Everyone looked sideways and saw a big black cow lying quietly in the field, but there was no leash, and the whole cow exuded the same lazy atmosphere as the old black dog.
"Huh?"
Zhong Xiaoyu blinked his eyes twice, and said inarticulately:
"Look, you see, the big black bull's face is swollen! There's a slap print! ”
Lu Xuan and Yan Jiangxue were stunned for a moment, and looked at the past carefully, it was really!
The big black bull's face lying in the field was swollen high, and there was a clearly visible handprint on it.
"Haven't it gone yet?" The middle-aged guide was surprised: "This is really a painting, right?" ”
As he spoke, he explained to the crowd:
"I've been here three or four times in the past few years, and this cow's face has always been like this, I guess there should be some kind of disease, my face has been swollen, and the palm print is definitely painted by a little doll."
Everyone was relieved, and Lu Xuan said with a smile:
"I said, where would anyone be so idle and panicked, give the cow a slap"
As he spoke, he shuddered involuntarily, and his expression froze slightly.
Well?
Why did you have a whim again?
Or is it a sense of crisis?
He stopped talking, silently perceiving, silently calculating, but he got nothing.
"Why don't we go into town?"
Xu Lindao coughed at this time, and said while turning around:
"Let's talk when we go in, talk when we go in"
The middle-aged guide patted his head and said happily:
"Cheng, let's go, I'll take you to the place where you stay first."
Everyone walked towards the town according to their words, and when they passed by the old black dog, the middle-aged guide couldn't hold back, kicked with his foot, and scolded:
"I won't bring you bones next time, you old dog, really"
The old black dog raised his head, glanced at him lazily, and when he was about to lie down again, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally fell on Lu Xuan.
It's stagnant.
The next second.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!"
The old black dog seemed to be stressed, jumped three feet high, and smashed to the ground, the dog's paws waved wildly, and the dust was flying, and his whole body was trembling, and his tail drooped down violently, which startled everyone.
But immediately, it looked at Lu Xuan twice, and then calmed down again, and breathed a sigh of relief in a very humane way, and even shaved its eyes with a dog's paw, as if it was dazzled.
"You old dog" The middle-aged guide was so frightened that he complained loudly, obviously frightened.
Xiao Yan also patted his chest, pasted it towards Lu Xuan, and muttered in a low voice:
"How do you feel that the dog is scared when he sees you? What did you do? ”
"How do I know" Lu Xuan couldn't laugh or cry: "I haven't been here again, I guess the black dog is old, and the puppy doesn't live long."
As they spoke, they followed behind the middle-aged guide and walked into this ancient Gou Xian Town.
Although the town is not big, there are not a few people, including old people enjoying the cool air, children playing, and middle-aged men walking with burdens.
"Coming?" A little old man sitting on a small bench, shaking a fan, and the guide seemed to be quite familiar, and greeted: "What happened to the dog master just now?" Whooping? ”
"I don't know." The middle-aged guide shook his head incredulously, and then smiled: "Ninth Master, why do you always call that big dog a dog master?" ”
The little old man's eyes squinted:
"You outsiders know a ball, and the dog is older than me!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" The middle-aged guide obviously didn't believe it, and then changed the topic and asked, "Is there a place in our town today that can make room for guests to stay overnight?" ”
As he spoke, he smiled and patted his waist pocket:
"Enough money!"
The little old man plucked his nostrils:
"Just ask, every family has an empty bed."
"That's it!" The guide didn't say much, and continued to walk towards the town with the group.
Along the way, except for the little couple, the rest of the people, including Lu Xuan and Xiao Yan, were all looking curiously.
And the more he walked, the more he looked, the more Lu Xuan had an illusion of being in a dream, and this ancient flavor was too much.
Sycamore City.
"Did you find it?" Inside the building of Sakata Heavy Industries, a middle-aged man looked gloomy: "If the information is leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable, not to mention that they will steal the treasure."
After a pause, he scolded loudly:
"Didn't you say that all the passes out of the city were checked? Why can't you catch two ordinary people who don't have cultivation?? ”
Everyone was submissive, and they didn't dare to respond.
After a while, a clerk seemed to remember something, and said cautiously:
"We have indeed investigated the whole city, and the checkpoints out of the city are also being investigated. But I just remembered that no one seems to be in charge of the private car company? ”
After a pause, he clicked his fingers on the tablet a few times, called up some information, looked at it, and reported:
"I just checked, the private car club does have a floating car out of the city today, it is heading towards the Kongtong Mountain Range, it is unlikely that it will be on it, why don't you send a few people to follow it and check?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently:
"Be cautious, and ask a celestial to go. The rest of the people will continue to check the city carefully, and don't let go of the sewers. ”
After a pause, he added:
"Directly give me a door-to-door search, just say to eliminate fire hazards, let the Inspectorate and the Fire Department give me good cooperation!"
"Hey!"
