Chapter 77 Badong Village (4)
"Change of plan? How could it be so sudden?" Xie Jin looked at Wen Liang, who started packing as soon as he entered the door. He couldn't react from the news for a while, "Don't we go to Badong Village?"
"No, go or go, but the primary purpose is to get rid of the tail that is following us first." Ji Duan attached himself to Xie Jin's chin, and seeing that the strangles on the man's neck had not changed, he began to remove the things on Xie Jin's bed Packed into a backpack.
Ji Duan zips up the waterproof bag and looks back at Xie Jin's confused eyes, "This is the conclusion Wen Liang and I have just conjectured, Uncle Xie, you don't have any enemies, that person did everything possible to pick the lock and it was not for money, then he has a high probability. It's to stop us from moving."
"However, we are only going to Badong Village, why are we blocked by such people?" Xie Jin couldn't understand, this was just a temporary plan and action they made, just to find a way to lift the curse for Ji Duan. Will you be targeted by unknown people?
"I don't know, but if you continue to stay in this car, you should still be in danger, so let's change the plan temporarily." Ji Duan lifted the quilt on Xie Jin's bed to ensure that nothing was missed, and then he returned to the car. Xie Jin sat down beside him.
He looked at Xie Jin's neck, his masseter muscles couldn't help but grit his back molars, "...the next journey, don't leave me, I can't guarantee when there will be danger, but at least you I'll watch you when you sleep."
At about two o'clock in the morning, the train they were on was close to the platform, and the man who attacked Xie Jin was supported by the police, followed by three people with luggage.
From entering the station police station to completing the transcript investigation, Xie Jin was in a state of confusion. Wen Liang spoke almost the whole process, and he only occasionally took the lead to say yes to answer the police's questions.
In the end, the man who attacked him still kept his mouth shut, saying that he was greedy for money, and accidentally bumped into Xie Jin, who had not slept yet.
Although the plain-looking man was very fierce, his eyes kept staring at Xie Jin. A gloomy cold ran up his back. It was Ji Duan's body that blocked the vicious sight, which made Xie Jin feel a little more comfortable. .
He is obviously a human, but he has eyes that are more terrifying than he has ever seen a ghost. Xie Jin's blank mind came up with this idea, but he doesn't even know this person, why would he show that kind of thing to a stranger who has no hatred and no grudges? eyes?
When he walked out of the station police station, the night was not as dark as before. Xie Jin followed the two through the waiting hall. He suddenly noticed that something was wrong. He was clearly walking outside the station.
The waiting hall was sparsely crowded with some passengers who stayed overnight here. The air-conditioning was very strong at night, and many people curled up and hugged themselves.
"Shh, we don't take the train anymore." Ji Duan took Xie Jin's neck and walked out, whispering in his ear, "Transfer to the land transport bus, if someone really wants to hurt us, he won't be able to do it in a crowded place like the bus. "
At five o'clock in the morning, the three of them were transferred from the train station to the local passenger bus station. They mixed in with the migrant workers with the same large and small bags, and squeezed into the earliest departure passenger bus.
The passenger bus is much more spacious than the train. It is really crowded like a can of sardines. Wen Liang bought three tickets. Carrying a huge backpack, only half of the buttocks actually sat on the seat.
Even so, it was dissatisfied by those who bought the standing tickets, and every time Wen Liang would raise the tickets in his hand and use his strength to tell them what it means to be self-willed.
Xie Jin was sandwiched between Wen Liang and Ji Duan, and the exhaustion after a night of tossing rushed to his whole body when the passenger bus swayed on the road.
There was no more snoring and teeth grinding in his ears, Xie Jin tilted his head slightly to Ji Duan's shoulder and fell asleep.
Xie Jin fell into a drowsy sleep along the way. The bus from Tan Jiang to Tian He would take more than ten hours at least. He also woke up a few times in a daze, and Ji Duan never closed his eyes as promised.
After several tossing and turning all the way, there was no sudden situation. The passenger bus arrived at Tian He at about 7 o'clock in the evening, and the three of them got off the bus with the crowd and walked towards the exit.
The temperature of Tian He is obviously lower than that of Tan Jiang. It is not like the sultry heat of midsummer, but cool autumn. They found a public restroom. Wen Liang changed back to his robes, while Xie Jin and Ji Duan put on their clothes from the mountain. Jackets from a supply store.
"The weather is really nice, don't you think?" Wen Liang stretched his waist. Although it was already dark, the air quality in Tian He was obviously much better than that in Tan Jiang, or maybe it was because of the long car ride. Very refreshing.
"Continue on the road, or find a hotel for the first night?" Wen Liang pointed to the middle-aged man and woman holding a handwritten sign outside the station, and turned to seek advice from the other two.
"Look for a place to sleep first, it's not safe to rent a car and drive into the mountains at this time." Ji Duan held Xie Jin's hand tightly and instructed in a low voice, "There is a lot of people going out now, hurry up and be careful to walk away. "
Although Xie Jin didn't dislike the young man's behavior of treating himself as a child, he would still be a little dumbfounded by the strict tone of the other party.
They eventually got into the car with a middle-aged woman, who was very enthusiastic and took them to their hotel. Although the hotel was old, it was cleaned by middle-aged women.
"I live downstairs. You can call me if you have anything. Our family still has meals. You can come down in half an hour to ensure that you are satisfied with your meal."
Finally able to take a breath, Xie Jin sat on the edge of the somewhat hard bed, flipping through the unread messages on her phone.During his sleepy half day, Old Yang from the mobile phone store called him twice, but Xie Jin didn't answer either.
At this time, the mobile phone beep sounded, and it was still a WeChat message from Old Yang: "Brother, you have to pass the Tian He Broken Bridge and walk through the Wuming Mountain to get to my hometown. I asked someone to inquire,That Badong village is more than nine kilometers away from our village, so you may have to walk completely."
Xie Jin thanked Old Yang for the late information. Wen Liang said earlier that Badong Village is directly under the dragon head. Because it is hidden and does not communicate with the outside world, it is naturally slow to be found by the outside world.
During dinner in the evening, Wen Liangzhang seemed to have no intention of chatting about the rumors of Badong Village, but the middle-aged woman who was still happy suddenly changed her face, and even her hand nibbling on melon seeds was a little bit, and she spat out the melon seeds with a "bah". Pi: "Unlucky, what do you say in that kind of place."
"We are donkey friends. Naturally, we are curious about the rumors of Badong Village." Before dinner, Wen Liang also put on a jacket to protect against the wind and cold. He pretended to be excited and rubbed his arms. matter!"
"That kind of place is used to scare children, why are you adults so excited?" The middle-aged woman was afraid to avoid it. She turned Byakugan and was about to get up to leave, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Wen Liang's hand with a few more pink cards.paper money.
"Auntie, just tell it. When I pay you to scare the children, do you think it's okay?" Wen Liang put the five hundred yuan under the melon seed plate by the middle-aged woman's hand without a trace, and then exposed him. Standard smile.
"...You really aren't looking for that kind of place, are you?" The middle-aged woman looked around and rolled the five banknotes into her cuffs. She lowered her voice, "Then I'll tell you what I heard. , you must not spread it out?"
"That's natural." Wen Liang smiled until his eyes narrowed. He knew that this was basically done, and the news of Badong Village was revealed from the local population, which was considered quite important information.
"That's a long time ago, almost in my grandfather's generation..."
A middle-aged woman tells a story nearly a hundred years ago under the dim light bulbs in her home.
"My family has been a hunter for generations. With my great-grandfather's ability, I can barely make ends meet even in the war of liberation, and it's not like it will make my family hungry."
"It should have been one day at the end of September 1945. Master went hunting in the mountains as usual, and accidentally bumped into a troop who was wearing civilian clothes and did not carry weapons. Because the master did not recognize it because of the distance, he could only follow from a distance. Tian He Jiu The month is already quite cool, but there is also a faint smell of blood and rotten flesh wafting from the rear of the troop. The master thinks that they should have been injured and separated from the main troop. There is no sign, so the master did not dare to go forward easily."
"He followed the troop over most of the mountain, throwing the anti-lost knots specially made for him by the grandma along the way. The people in that troop didn't find the grandfather, but just kept on their way. From noon to the sun setting, they They didn't stop once, and the master didn't know if they had lost their way or had a clear destination. Besides, he had followed him for so long and didn't know why he went back. He was also unwilling, so he gritted his teeth and continued to follow. When it got dark, a huge black lacquered coffin appeared in front of them."
"Black lacquer coffin?" Wen Liang couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the word "coffin". He interrupted the middle-aged woman's memory, "They found Badong Village?"
"Listen to me." The middle-aged woman waved her hand, dissatisfied with Wen Liang's interruption, "On the black lacquer coffin, there are only three characters engraved on it, Batong Village. When the grandfather saw the army, it was as if he hadn't seen the coffin. Continuing to walk straight forward, he suddenly felt that he had hit an evil spirit, otherwise how could a normal person walk for more than ten hours without a break in the deep mountains with such a complex terrain?"
"My grandfather was still young and vigorous at that time, and he bravely followed for a while, until the surrounding vegetation began to become sparse, and there were low buildings with blue tiles and red bricks in front of him, and the troops walked straight in. A building similar to an ancestral hall, when the grandfather was about to follow him in, he suddenly heard someone calling his name."
The middle-aged woman pressed her temples, and she seemed to be questioning the authenticity of the story she heard from the older generation, "Master, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, he didn't dare to look back at the so-called Badong Village and that one. A troop who disappeared in the old ancestral hall, he ran back along the road when he came, but there was no trace of the knot that was regarded as a mark. The grandfather began to feel frightened at that time, and he tried his best to go to the direction he remembered. Run, it was already dark on the mountain at that time, and it was foggy at night, so he ran into the black lacquer coffin after running for an unknown amount of time."
"Do you think he has returned to the same place? That's not the case. My grandfather bravely stepped forward to check and found that there was no engraving on the coffin. There was a dragon engraved on it. It was not the common dragon in our nation, but It's a kind of dragon that looks like an original creation of a minority, and it's obviously not the same black lacquer coffin he saw before."
The middle-aged woman's eyes twitched imperceptibly, "Master said that he ran to the southwest corner. Although he doesn't come to this mountain often, he can't do anything about getting lost. The location ran to the southwest corner and bumped into another coffin, which means that there may be more than just a coffin around that weird village."
The light bulb hanging above her head flickered, which caused the middle-aged woman's face to fall into a brief darkness from time to time, but she continued to say, "Then my grandfather moved around the coffin in the dark, and waited until he returned at noon the next day. When I got home, I drew the graphs in my mind on paper, and I found that the Batong Village was actually a dragon vein. Not only that, but the dragon vein as the center was a regular octagon, each corner had a branch point, and in the Black lacquer coffins with carved dragons are placed at each branch point."
Badong Village, where the dragon is missing, finally appeared!
