After all, Lao Xu is his leader. He doesn't want to make it too clear, and Song Jiang can't continue to ask questions. However, he always believes in one thing, that is, the bookstore cannot disappear and appear out of thin air, so this used bookstore must have something. What unknown secret exists...
Considering that Song Jiang suffered a "little" scare when he was working the night shift for the first time, Director Xu gave him a day off the next day and told him that every time he had something to do on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, he would Let Song Jiang work the night shift, and he can work the day shift the rest of the time.
Although Song Jiang said a few polite words to thank Uncle Xu for taking care of him, he was full of doubts about working the night shift. Why couldn't he go out at night? Why can't you and the delivery boy find the door of the bookstore? And why does Lao Xu only have something to do on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month?
Although the mystery of the bookstore has not been solved for the time being, Song Jiang's life will continue. Although he can basically live and clothe himself by working in the bookstore, he is a man with pursuits after all, so he must continue to find creative inspiration...
At noon that day, when he was chatting in a QQ group of online writers, he heard a guy named "Frost Flower February Red" say that there was an attraction that had been secretly banned for a long time on the famous tourist attraction Thunder Mountain. It was said that there was It is a famous suicide holy place. If you don’t have creative inspiration, you might as well go there for a walk. Maybe you will be filled with creative ideas when you come back.
The other party said that the speaker was unintentional, but Song Jiang was interested in the listener. When he thought about his pitiful subscriptions, he got angry and had a toothache. Instead of staying at home and working behind closed doors all day long, he might as well go to that so-called Give it a try at the "Suicide Land" and you might be able to turn a tram into a motorcycle! !
As soon as he said he would do it, Song Jiang asked Director Xu for three days' leave the next day. But when the other party heard that the place he was going to was Thunder Mountain, he counted his fingers and said, "Xiao Song, I'll see you." It's been dark in Yintang recently, so it's best not to do anything like climbing high or going into the water these days!"
But Song Jiang has always been a staunch atheist, and he has never believed in numerology and metaphysics, so he said funnyly, "Uncle Xu, I just went to the wild to collect wind and find some creative inspiration... Don't worry, in three days I'll be back to work in no time."
Director Xu looked at Song Jiang's back and shook his head and sighed, "Alas...he is another short-lived ghost, and he is even three points worse than the last one."
After asking for leave, Song Jiang went home, packed his luggage, and got on the tourist bus to Chulei Mountain. Before leaving, he wanted to call his aunt to say something, but when he thought that his aunt heard that he was looking for creative inspiration, he would be worried. I wanted to scold him for not missing his job, so he simply didn't make the call. But what Song Jiang didn't expect was that he would narrowly escape death during this trip, and it would directly open a new chapter in his life...
It was already noon when the bus arrived at its destination, so after Song Jiang got off the bus, he quickly found a small restaurant in the scenic area to have something to eat, and asked the locals about the suicide sanctuary.
The owner of the small restaurant was very hospitable. When he heard that Song Jiang wanted to know about the suicide holy place, he said with a mysterious face, "Most people don't know about this. That place is called Tiger Leaping Cliff, and it was always open to tourists in the first few years." Okay, but then for some reason... there are always people going there to seek death, and some are successful and some are not, but every time there is a big fuss, and a lot of people from the police and fire fighters go to the rescue. Later, the scenic spot was responsible for People couldn't afford to bother anymore, so they just closed the scenic spot. Don't tell me, this trick is really effective. Since Tiger Leaping Cliff was closed, there has really never been a life-threatening incident. .”
After hearing this, Song Jiang asked curiously, "Boss, how to get to Tiger Leaping Cliff? Is it easy to find it?!"
After hearing this, the restaurant owner's face suddenly changed and he said, "Young man, I see that you are young and quite handsome, why are you so hard to think about?!"
When Song Jiang heard that his boss had misunderstood him, he quickly explained, "I'm not going to commit suicide... I just want to go there and take some photos. By the way, I write horror novels and I want to find some creative materials."
After hearing this, the hotel owner looked Song Jiang up and down, curled his lips and said, "Everything really happens now. Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you, because that place is not difficult to get to, but you can't get in even if I tell you." Ah, didn’t I say that before? That place has been closed for a long time, and tourists can’t get in at all.”
Song Jiang heard that the boss was not serious, so he laughed and said, "Just tell me how to go. I don't have to go up. I just take a few photos at the entrance to get some inspiration..."
Upon hearing this, the hotel owner took out a tourist map from the counter and said with a smile, "Why don't you buy a local guide map, it will be easier to find..."
After hearing this, Song Jiang immediately understood and bought the map without saying a word. Then the hotel owner pointed on the map and told Song Jiang how to get to Tiger Leaping Cliff.
But no one noticed that just as the two people met and circled the exact location of Tiger Leaping Cliff on the tourist map, a diner sitting in the corner also silently wrote down what the two of them said...
He was a tall, thin man, about thirty years old. His sharp features were hard to forget at a glance, but for some reason, there was an indescribable melancholy between his eyebrows.
After dinner, Song Jiang said goodbye to his boss and walked out of the hotel happily. However, he soon discovered that things were not as simple as he thought, because he couldn't read a map at all... To put it bluntly, Song Jiang was a road idiot. After leaving the one-third of an acre of land that I usually visit frequently, there is no distinction between east, west, north and south at all!
After wandering on the roadside for a long time, Song Jiang didn't know which direction to go. He wanted to ask someone, but he didn't dare to ask anyone casually. After all, the place he was going to was a forbidden area in Thunder Mountain. It would be troublesome to ask the staff here.
Song Jiang searched around for a long time, but he didn't see even half a tourist... Just when he didn't know where to go, suddenly a familiar man passed by him. Judging from his clothes, he should be a tourist like himself. , so Song Jiang immediately stopped the man, "Brother, do you know where north is?"
After being stopped, the man stood there for a moment, then raised his finger and pointed to a mountain in the distance and said, "That's the north over there..."
Before Song Jiang could say thank you, the man got into an off-road vehicle and drove away in the opposite direction.
