Sitting at the door was an old woman in traditional Miao costume, wearing a hat made of black cloth ribbons on her head. She was the grass ghost woman that Sissi had seen. Her sallow face was covered with wrinkles, and a pair of silver earrings hung from her ears. The holes of the earrings were so big that a coin could pass through them.
Fatty Yu swallowed a sip of saliva, poked his head and said with a smile, "How are you, old lady."
Unexpectedly, the hag raised her head coldly and glanced at him. It could be said that her face was expressionless, or that all the expressions were covered up by the wrinkles on her face. Just for a moment, Fatty Yu was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and then hesitantly said, "Grandma, how about we talk about business?"
I could see clearly from behind that when the witch heard that she was going to discuss a business deal, her eyes stood up and were still shining. Judging by her look, Fatty Yu is probably in trouble this time. Sister Meng smiled and said: "It seems that this hag is also a snobbery, and she is greedy for money."
"It's good to have an eye for money. This way we can save a lot of trouble." I said happily.
As soon as Fatty Yu saw that the grass ghost was attracted, he immediately took out a big wallet from his trouser pocket and carefully handed it a stack. He estimated that there were a thousand pieces at least, and said with a smile: "It's a small thing, a little thought."
The Miao people have lived in the mountains for generations. They rely on the mountains and forests for food on weekdays, and their income is not much. The fat man taking out so many big tickets at once is tantamount to a windfall for them, especially this kind of old lady, she can be happy broken. The idiot sat up from the bench and snatched the wad of bills, without even counting them, and immediately put them under her apron.
"I'll tell you, is she trying to steal money?" I muttered.
"No, it's just a money grab." Sissi nodded.
"Don't argue, you two."
Fatty Yu was actually very happy. The current situation was very good, so he followed the trend and said, "Grandma, let's talk about business?"
"You want to buy Gu?"
"No, no, no." Fatty Yu immediately waved his hand, "It's not about buying Gu."
"If you don't buy Gu, then what are you going to do?"
"It turns out that this hag is also running a business of buying and selling poison. Isn't this a shameful thing?" I said angrily in my heart, "I guess she has done many evil things behind her back. No wonder she is so greedy for money."
"I just want to inquire about an ancient tomb." Fatty Yu said bluntly, "No one knows about this tomb. It was there before you guys came here."
After hearing this, the grass ghost woman looked at him a little strangely. She looked at him warily and said, "It's been so long, how could I know? You'd better go to other places to inquire?"
"Hey, grandma, we are all sensible people. If you don't know, who else here will know?"
"If I say I don't know, I just don't know. You should leave quickly, or I will let the dog go." The witch turned against her faster than she could flip through a book, scaring Fatty Yu so much that he almost ran away.
Fortunately, Fatty Yu had been around the world for a long time, so he saw the signs and said with a smile: "Grandma, it was just a greeting gift to honor you. This consultation fee is much more than that." After saying that, he pretended to take out his money again. His big wallet.
Sure enough, the hag glanced at his hand greedily and was so anxious that her eyes would pop out, but Fatty Yu deliberately didn't take out the money and said, "Grandma, you see, I have already expressed my sincerity. , are you also..."
"Ancient tomb?" The grass ghost woman immediately changed her face, softened a little, and said half-hidden: "Yes, there is, but no one has been there for so many years. If you want to find it, there is no one to lead the way. That’s not okay.”
"Good guy, isn't it obvious that you want money?" Fatty Yu cursed secretly in his heart, but he still forced a smile and said: "Yes, yes, grandma is right, otherwise, I'd better ask you to point me out if I'm tired." Lu, don’t worry, our labor fee will be calculated separately, and we will definitely pay you the more.”
"How much?" Unexpectedly, the hag was so anxious that she didn't want to be polite at all, "I won't go without it!"
"Hahaha, do you think this is a good idea? Let's make up a lucky number, how about a lucky six or six?"
"Six hundred?"
"Six thousand! How can I just give you six hundred?!"
The grass ghost woman immediately beamed and nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's go right now."
"That's great." Fatty Yu saw that this idiot was so active in making money, how could he not agree, "Sooner rather than later, we must tell Miss Huai the good news as soon as possible."
Not long after, I rushed back with Huai Rujin and Gui Houye, and Daozi and Yansheng took the opportunity to transport all the equipment in their pickup trucks. Huai Rujin suggested that the operation be divided into two teams and three groups. One team was divided into two groups, led by Gui Houye and Huai Rujin respectively. Gui Houye led Yan Sheng and I to go first, while Huai Rujin and Yu The fat man took a few people to respond, and the remaining people formed a team and stood by on top.
"This is a relatively safe method. There are many people coming back this time, so it is really not appropriate to send out the entire army." Ghost Marquis said.
"Then what else is there to say? Don't worry, leave Miss Huai to me. I won't miss a hair on her head." Fatty Yu said with a smile.
Mr. Guihou took the five of us to a place called "Laoye Temple" in the back mountain. There is a ravine there. It is said that there used to be a ruined temple, but it has long been lost to sight.
"Little devil, what do you think of this place?" Lord Ghost said.
"How should I put it? There is nothing but grass and trees in this place." I looked back and forth and said, "However, according to Feng Shui, this place looks like a tomb, which is better than the chicken last time." Poyu is much more reliable.”
"According to the fat man, the tomb mentioned by the grass hag is right here."
"Oh?" Lord Gui touched his mustache thoughtfully. As soon as I saw his expression, I felt that something was fishy and something might happen.
"What's wrong?"
"It's not that simple." The Ghost Lord smiled mysteriously, "How can this grass ghost be so real? Based on my years of experience, although this place is a place where dragons are hidden, it is too dark and exposed to direct sunlight every day. The time at the bottom of the ditch is at most four or five hours, and if there is a large tomb, there must be something evil."
I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and thought to myself: "This ghost prince actually touched everything here clearly without making a sound?"
"What should we do now?"
"Let's use the trick and see what tricks that hag can do." After saying that, Daozi followed his instructions and contacted Huai Rujin and the others, and the two groups met together first.
"Master Gu is trying to pull off the knife trick. He deliberately joined forces and sold out the flaws so that her true colors can be revealed."
"The kid is quite a talent!" Lord Ghost smiled proudly, "Master Gu, I am known as the best Gu in Lingnan, how can I be defeated by this old witch?"
After hearing Daozi's report, Huai Rujin felt confident. When Daozi first arrived, the grass ghost woman had already planned to collect the money and go back. Huai Rujin simply stopped her and said with a smile: "It's still too early now. It’s okay for grandma to go back, why don’t you take us for a ride and pay the wages?”
The hag's expression was obviously a little panicked, "This..."
But Huai Rujin is not Fatty Yu after all. She said this to mean that she didn't break her face and made it clear that she didn't mean to discuss. That idiot is a shrewd person. A good man doesn't suffer the immediate loss. Since he gave her money, he nodded and agreed.
"You have come here to look for the tomb, so you have found the right person." Cao Gu Po smiled eerily, "No one knows about the ancient tomb in Laoye Temple except Cao Gu Po for generations, and even the villagers have never dared to set foot here. There are dozens of them. Years ago, some people came here to find a tomb, but not many people came out. There is nothing we can do, this mountain god does not allow outsiders to disturb us, and once we enter the tomb, we will definitely not be able to get out."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Huai Rujin looked her over, then sat aside without saying a word. After a long time, he turned to me and said, "Could the group of people who were in the mountain decades ago be the same group of people who took the photos?"
"It looks like it is, but according to Master Gu, those who entered the mountain must have said hello to the grass hag. We cannot rule out the possibility that they may have manipulated her to seek wealth or death."
Huai Rujin nodded knowingly, "Grandma, how about leading the way?"
The grass ghost woman led us to a cave. The cave was halfway up the mountain. There was still a way to go up, but we would not leave even if we went up higher. At this time, I noticed that Gui Houye winked at Daozi, who secretly took out bundles of ropes from his backpack, and then walked around behind me.
"What is this for? Is it possible that there is a kidnapping involved?" I thought to myself, "Master Gu means..."
Suddenly, Sister Meng patted me on the shoulder and said softly: "Master Gu said that the grass ghost has been poisoned, but I told everyone not to panic." When Sister Meng said this, I knew it well, although I was not sure about this. Sister Meng's impression is not very good, but she is still trustworthy enough.
"What?" I was shocked and puzzled, "How did she get the poison when she didn't do anything?"
Before I could react, Daozi and Yansheng had already taken action. The grass hag was also smart, and she immediately smelled the danger. She turned back suddenly and saw Dao Zi and Yan Sheng approaching. She was so frightened that she fell down, then got up and ran away.
Daozi laughed and cursed, "You still want to run? I told you to do bad things!" After saying that, he picked up the rope, swung it round and threw it in the direction he was running, hitting her in front of her toes, making her jump in fright. Then he ran back.
Daozi calmly gave Sister Meng a wink. I don’t know where Sister Meng hid a leather whip. She suddenly swung it through the air and made a crisp sound, hitting the grass witch’s toes. The old woman also knew the current affairs and knew that she couldn’t run away. With a plop, she knelt down. Fall to the ground.
One of them pulled the rope, the other captured her. Their movements were clean and neat, without any sloppiness, and they tied the old woman to the tree in one go.
The ghost lord then slowly walked over, and the hag immediately kowtowed to him: "Hero, spare your life, this old woman is just living hand to mouth, so I only paid attention to a few people. She really has a blind eye and cannot see the mountain!"
"I am an old woman with no children, and now I am just waiting to die."
"To tell you the truth, Lord Gu, I am the number one Gu in Lingnan, and I am known as Lord Ghost. It is not unfair at all for you to fall into my hands today!" As he said that, Lord Ghost pointed at the cave above, "What is going on inside? "
The grass ghost woman was immediately frightened and turned pale, "Ghost Marquis! Ghost..."
"Speak quickly, or I will send you to report to the King of Hell now."
"Say, I'll say." The hag knew it was the Ghost Marquis, and she lost her courage long ago. She looked at him blankly, like a death row prisoner who was about to be beheaded at any time.
