Chapter 749
"Yes, it's not far."
"Hey, Brother Li," I asked casually: "Have you ever been to that Guiziling? What kind of place is it specifically?"
Talking about this, Li Tiecheng, who was driving, frowned and said: "I'm not from that place, but I went there once in the 1980s. It was summer at that time. I just remember that the woods were very gloomy, and it was only over ten degrees in the summer. Some rotten stone men were half-buried in the soil. Later, the village chief found out and kicked me out, and I was almost beaten."
"Please listen to my arrangements later. It's getting late now. Let's find a place to settle down when we get to the village."
We arrived at Tianguangsi Village at around six o'clock in the evening. We got out of the car with our bags and walked on the small roads in the village. I found that there were very old tile-roofed houses and few red brick houses. The ancient carved doors and windows could be seen everywhere. Most of the villagers are not tall, and some of them are leading cattle as if they have just come back from the fields.
Li Tiecheng stopped a villager who was passing by with a cigarette in his mouth and said in the local dialect: "Brother, wait, it's like this. We are traveling from other places. Could you please help us find out whose old house is uninhabitable?" Yes, let’s rent it for a few days.”
"It's a small thing, brother," Li Tiecheng stuffed a packet of Yuxi into the person's hand.
The villager spat, kicked the cigarette in his pocket and said something with a smile.
Li Tiecheng nodded and said: "He said there was something good for tourism in the village, and he also said that if you want to live in a house, you don't need to bother others. His family has an old house that they can't live in, but it's too dirty and needs to be cleaned."
I said, what are you waiting for? It’s getting dark today. It’s better to rent a house by yourself than live in someone else’s house.
The rent was fifty yuan a month. This person was very happy and enthusiastically moved a few quilts from home.
This old house is located in the north of the village. The old tile-roofed house has two rooms, the east and the west. There is a big earth pit in the house, and there are orange poles on the kang. When cooking, there is an earthen fire iron pot in the courtyard. You can clean it yourself and burn firewood.
The only drawback is that there is no electricity.
If we want to recharge, we can only go to someone else's house. The neighbor's house is an old lady who lives with her granddaughter. Her family is half Yao people.
The mobile phones were collected uniformly, and the others stayed in the room. Li Tiecheng and I went together.
The old lady’s granddaughter went to school in the county town. She was sixteen or seventeen years old. She was spinning hula hoops in the courtyard at the time. We pushed the door open and were startled when we walked in. I’ll call her Xiao Tang.
The old lady can speak non-standard Mandarin, but her granddaughter, who goes to school in the county town, speaks more standard Mandarin. Although she has an accent, she can understand it.
I said, aunt, I will give you ten yuan to charge the electricity. She said no money, no money, you can go to the house to charge.
At that time, there was no fast charger with hundreds of watts, charging was as slow as an ox. It was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and the courtyard was dimly lit. I sat on the horse and chatted with the old lady. Naturally, the topic was brought up by me intentionally or unintentionally. ridge.
"Ah? You want to go to Zaizailing?" (People in their village don't call it Guizailing, but Zaizailing.)
Li Tiecheng smiled and said no, he was just curious and wanted to know how far that place was from here.
Xiao Tang's eyes were a little panicked. She shook her head back and forth and said, "You can't go to Zaizailing. My dad said that there is a corridor of Yin soldiers there. My dad said that Yin soldiers wear straw hats and ragged clothes. If you look at it, your soul will be destroyed." If they are taken away, they will still be in a vegetative state even if they are rescued, and there are two such vegetative people in our village."
Seeing Xiao Tang saying this seriously, I felt like laughing inexplicably, but I didn't dare to laugh, so I just sat on the horse with a sullen face.
Also, Xiao Tang said that anyone who wants to cross Zaizailing must go to Yapo (I understand it as Shenpo) and write a red couplet.
Write your name on the red couplet, and ask Yapo to take the couplet and paper money and burn it under the Zaizai Temple at 12 noon. This will tell the Yin soldiers that someone is passing by and make it convenient for them.
Li Tiecheng was surprised after hearing this: "I haven't heard from my Daoxian friends that there is a temple in Guizailing? Where is it?"
Xiao Tang opened her mouth to speak, but her grandma stopped her and told her not to talk nonsense.
I looked at the old lady's expression.
It's a bit like talking about a tiger's color changing.
