"What are you talking about? Leading the way?" The middle-aged woman's face was full of disbelief. She even felt that there was something wrong with her ears, and only then did she hear Wen Liang's nonsense.

But when she saw the smiling face of the white-haired young man, she knew that she had heard correctly. This was indeed a ridiculous request from the other party.

"Brother, you are not mistaken, let's not say whether I know the way or not, even if I know the way, do you think I will take you there based on the shadow of my childhood after the death of my great-grandfather?"

She saw Wen Liang take out a cloth bag, and took out folded pink banknotes from it. The middle-aged woman was a landlord who was doing business at the station, and her eyes were naturally sharp. She took a rough look and found that it should be a thousand dollars .

"What do you mean? Do you want to buy my life with money? I don't want to be like my grandfather..." Before she could finish speaking, Wen Liang started to pay again, this time adding five hundred.

One thousand and five, which is equivalent to a day's rent for 18 tenants. The middle-aged woman hesitated, but when she mentioned Badong Village, she could think of the grandfather who cheated on the corpse. She still shook her head, trying to dissuade the white-haired man in front of her. idea.

But what she didn't expect was that Wen Liang was still increasing the price. The middle-aged woman was a little at a loss for a while. If she was in Tian He for two thousand yuan, she could already hire a pretty good guide, at least to travel to major places. The attractions are more than adequate.

Maybe because the middle-aged woman kept silent, Wen Liang started to dig out his wallet again. This time he directly took out 1,000 yuan and put it under the plate. Money, this is the hiring fee he wants for the woman to lead the way.

"You, but I don't know how to get there?" The middle-aged woman was a little dumbfounded. It wasn't that she had trouble with money, but that even though she had heard about the legendary experience of the grandfather, she didn't know how to get to that weird village. .

Seeing that Wen Liang was going to continue, she finally waved her hand to stop, "Are you really going to that ghostly place? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble and becoming a short-lived ghost?"

"How come, I can live the best." Wen Liang grinned suddenly, but his eyes obviously showed a strange look, he laughed dryly a few times, then turned to look at Xie Jin, "Xie Jin, you shouldn't be afraid of this, right? "

"Don't be afraid." Xie Jin made up his mind to go, he held Ji Duan's hand tightly under the table, it's nothing if he lost a few years, or even ten years, if he gave up this opportunity because he cherished his life, it would be tantamount to living Give up Ji Duan.

The expression of the middle-aged woman was a little twitching. She had seen someone desperate, but she had never seen someone rushing to die. She sighed deeply, and she said, "Well, I'm sure I don't want to go to Badong Village at all. I won’t accept you for the money, but I can introduce you to a person who often goes into those deep mountains and old forests, you can hire him as a guide, and he can lead you to find that village.”

"Okay, if someone is willing to be a guide, that would be great." Wen Liang put away the stack of hundred-dollar bills on the table very obediently, "Where is that person now?"

"Don't listen to me in a hurry." The middle-aged woman covered her face with her hands and rubbed her face, and said helplessly, "You can ask him to be your guide, and he has a very strict mouth. Others will know about Dongcun, but don't expect to hear any rumors from him."

"why?"

The middle-aged woman looked at Wen Liang who asked the question, and after a moment of hesitation in her heart, she said an answer that surprised everyone, "Because he is dumb."

"Mute? I don't have a problem with communication, but the question is whether this person is reliable." Wen Liang gestured to Xie Jinbi, which probably meant to relax and leave it to me.

"Reliable, his name is A Nian. He has no biological parents. He is an orphan who doesn't know where he came from. He was adopted by a kind-hearted family named He in our local area more than ten years ago, but because of his physical disability, he doesn't want to be with normal children. Reading together, since then he has been running in the deep mountains and old forests, looking for something."

Middle -aged women packed up the leftovers on the low wood table, and introduced the two people while packing the chopsticks, "As for the cost, you can see it, A Nian has never cared about the money, and since his adoptive parents have died one after another, he has been his death.More addicted to going out, but there is no helpless life, you should not be too much ... "

"Naturally, you don't need to worry about the hiring fee." Wen Liang turned his head indifferently, and glanced at Ji Duan's position, "Then when can we meet this guide?"

"Tomorrow, it's too late today, I'll go to his house after packing up, tell him not to go into the mountains tomorrow morning, and then bring him over to see you."

The middle-aged woman got up with the plate, she thought for a while and then instructed, "Don't think too much, just treat everything I'm telling as a story, A Nian knows much more than I do, sleep well tonight Go to sleep, good night."

After saying goodbye to the middle-aged woman, the three of them returned to the room, and the bus ride for more than ten hours was really torturous. When Wen Liang entered the room, he began to take off his clothes. Since the temperature in Tian He was not as high as that of Tan Jiang, he stopped when he had only one coat left, and habitually threw his back on the bed.

There was only a muffled sound, and when Xie Jin and Ji Duan heard the prestige, they saw Wen Liang rolling on the bed with his head in his arms. He probably regarded this place as a soft sofa at home and hit his head.

"Why is this bed so hard?" With tears in his eyes, Wen Liang turned over and lifted up a corner of the quilt, and couldn't help cursing, "Damn it, it's cement underneath?"

"Uncle Xie, go to bed softly later, don't smash it down like someone." Ji Duan patted the fairly clean bedding and urged Xie Jin, "Go wash up, and then go to bed quickly."

When Xie Jin entered the bathroom, Ji Duan took off his outer gown, only wearing a vest with the title of advanced producer and Wen Liang staring at him.

"You...puchi, are you still wearing that?" Wen Liang couldn't help laughing out loud, he took off his underwear and showed Ji Duan the same vest, "Actually, I'm wearing it too."

"Shut up, you just left in a hurry and forgot to take it off." Ji Duan quickly peeled off the vest and threw it aside. He dug out Xie Jin's clothes in his backpack and put them on. The clothes were a little small and washed out The soft fabric is tightly attached to his tendons, outlining the strong outline of this young body.

"~A good figure?" Wen Liang was about to joke, when a pillow hit his face in the next moment, he saw Ji Duan's expressionless face from the gap, and shrugged his shoulders in disgust, "Okay, okay, not with you. Just kidding, go to sleep, go to sleep, I'm going to be sleepy."

Saying that, he put himself in the quilt on his back, but this time he didn't smash the cement bed with his own weight.

In the early morning of the next day, it was just dawn. At about six o'clock, there was a knock on the door of their house. The middle-aged woman said outside the door with her voice pressed, "Are you two awake? I have already Bring people here."

The three were busy getting dressed and getting up. When they were all dressed up, they followed the middle-aged woman downstairs and found a teenager sitting at the table where they ate last night.

The boy didn't look very old, his skin was a healthy wheat color from the sun, and his neat short hair fluttered in the wind. He was sitting there eating a piece of melon.

Hearing the movement at the entrance of the stairs, the young man looked up, his eyes happened to be opposite Wen Liang, the pair of bright black eyes also looked very smart, very similar to the round pupils of some kind of feline cub.

Presumably this is the A Nian in the middle-aged woman's mouth.

"This is Ah Nian, He Nian from the He family." The middle-aged woman waited for them to be seated, and brought the tea that had already been brewed. She introduced to Wen Liang and Xie Jin, "A Nian is only young, but he is actually an adult. Now, about that village...you talk, I'll go first."

She transferred all the things in the tray to the low table, got up and went back to the house, it seemed that she really didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Badong Village.

"He Nian, right? My name is Wenliang." Wenliang put on his standard harmless smile as usual, even though Ah Nian, who looked like a teenager, ignored him and looked at Xie Jin's side.

Ji Duan was sitting there, and when he saw A Nian's precise and speechless gaze on him, he understood that this He Nian was also a person who could see his existence.

He Nian couldn't speak, he threw the finished melon rind into the trash can, and then gestured with his juice-stained hand.

"He said you are not an ordinary person, why are you here." Wen Liang held his chin with his hand, acting as a sign language interpreter. He made a sudden sound, and He Nian didn't seem to have expected it. He turned his head and looked at Wen Liang with those dark eyes, looking a little surprised.

"Do you understand sign language?" He Nian gestured towards Wen Liang. This was the first time he had looked directly at the man with white hair and long braids in front of him. Even though he could feel a bit of a strange aura from the other side, this was not the case. Not too annoying.

"Of course, otherwise how would I communicate with you?" Wen Liang said while gesturing, his hands that were flipping like two nimbly flying snakes, quickly changing to different styles, and looked at Xie Jin, who was standing aside.

"What are you doing, you can do anything..." Xie Jin couldn't help asking, he just recalled why Wen Liang was still scheming after hearing that the guide was dumb last night.

"I traveled around for so many years, and I learned it by accident with an old friend. It doesn't matter. The most important thing is that I can communicate with our guide without obstacles, right?"

Wen Liang took out the 3,000 yuan from last night from the cloth bag and pushed it exactly in front of He Nian, "This is a little bit of our intention. I hope you can show us the way to Badong Village."

Looking at the slightly bulging stack of banknotes, He Nian shook his head, pointed to Ji Duan again, and asked in sign language, "Who is he, and who are you? Why do you want to go to Badong Village?"

"A Nian... can I call you that?" Xie Jin took a deep breath and took the initiative to attract He Nian's attention, "His name is Ji Duan, and he is a very important person to me. We went to Badong Village for the purpose of To lift the shaman curse on him, Wen Liang said that if he dragged it on, Ji Duan might be really lost."

In order to make He Nian listen more clearly, Xie Jin deliberately slowed down his speech, "My name is Xie Jin, the three of us came here from Tan Jiang, a few hundred kilometers away, for this matter, can you help us lead the way?"

He Nian's dark eyes stared at Xie Jin for a long time, then started to make gestures, Wen Liang translated simultaneously: "He is asking if Ji Duan has really been cursed by the shaman, I can reply to you, yes , and it's a very complicated kind."

Considering that he might be able to enter the mountain today, Wen Liang was also dressed in casual clothes. He raised his index finger and tapped on the low table, causing He Nian to look back.

"He Nian, I'm actually a Taoist priest, I can understand Ji Duan's problems, but there is no way to solve them, so I came here at all costs, and I have heard the rumors about Batong Village... that is, Ling Coffin Village. How much do you know about that village?"

Silence surrounded He Nian from beginning to end. He lowered his head and thought about it. When he looked up again, the doubts in his eyes had disappeared, and he made a gesture to Wen Liang.

"I can take you there."
