"Where should we go first?" I can't answer Heizi's question.
"Close your eyes and choose one." Zhou Jiaonan said, taking out the map and spreading it on the ground.
"Go ahead, close your eyes and throw it out." Zhou Jiaonan said and stuffed a small piece of wood into my hand.
"Okay." I closed my eyes with a smile and threw out the small piece of wood in my hand.
"Okay, okay, it's good here. I can go see the Terracotta Warriors and Horses." Zhou Jiaonan clapped her hands happily.
"Don't tell me, this method is really good." Heizi said and gave a thumbs up.
After shopping for some things, everyone simply packed some luggage, and we drove on the road.
Fortunately, the off-road vehicle provided by Zhao Sihai is much larger than the one previously used by Heizi. There is still room for the five of us and one dog.
At first, the three women excitedly pointed out the scenery outside the window, but after a long journey, the three women completely became silent. I turned around and saw that they were all asleep.
"Let's find a place to stay for one night. It's probably three days' journey to our destination." I turned to Heizi and said.
"This place is remote and remote. Use your phone to see if there is any place to stay." Heizi said and turned on the car lights. By this time, the sky had darkened and our car was still driving in the mountains.
"Ten kilometers ahead, turn right and there is a village. There should be a place to live there." I said while looking at the navigation on my phone.
"Okay." Heizi nodded vigorously.
We did not choose to take the highway, which everyone agreed on, because if we took the highway, we would miss the scenery along the way, and if we went straight to the destination, it would become a tourist.
The best way is to just go with the flow and live wherever you go.
The village in front of us is not big, but there are many trucks parked at the entrance. It is already eleven o'clock in the evening, and the entrance of the village is still very lively.
"Brother, is there a place to stay here?" Heizi stopped the car and stretched out his head to look at a truck driver who was standing beside the car smoking.
"Are you here for tourism? There is nothing in this place. There is an inn when you enter the village." The truck driver was quite enthusiastic.
But I saw that he was frowning, as if he had encountered something. Moreover, the trucks around him had nothing in their pockets, and the drivers were helpless.
"Let's go to the village first." Although something feels wrong, we really need a rest now.
Especially Heizi, who has always been driving alone.
The inn is easy to find, but the owner was a little surprised when he saw us. It is estimated that few outsiders visit this place.
I asked for two rooms. I went to check out the room first. The room was not big and the facilities were relatively poor, but fortunately it was clean.
And the most important thing is that they didn’t target our Dahei, they just told us not to let him urinate anywhere.
This small inn has a total of four floors. It is an old-fashioned cement house. However, when I went upstairs, I felt more and more strange. There seemed to be no one else staying in this inn, because the surroundings were very quiet.
"That's weird..." I expressed my doubts after closing the door.
"What's so weird? Go to bed first, I'm so sleepy." Heizi said and fell asleep.
Dahei also lay down beside the bed. This guy was probably tired from the car ride.
At the moment, it seems that I have no other choice but to sleep. I just close my eyes and turn over and over again, feeling that something is wrong. I don’t know when I fell asleep.
I woke up hungry the next morning, because we hadn't eaten anything along the way. The store didn't provide food, so we had to follow the boss's directions to a small restaurant.
"Boss, here are five bowls of noodles." Heizi called to the store.
"Aren't you locals?" The shop owner is a middle-aged man who looks honest and honest.
"Well, we're passing by, have something to eat and then go." I smiled and sat down.
"That's fine..." The shop owner smiled bitterly and turned around and entered the kitchen.
Seeing the strange behavior of the store owner, I felt something was wrong. At this moment, I realized that there was no one on the street at all.
It's so early in the morning, there's no way there's no one in the village, right? Doesn’t everyone go out to work? If it were our village, the streets would have been busy by this time.
"Guys, here's your noodles." The shop owner came out shortly after holding the noodles.
"Boss, where are the people in this village?" I asked casually when I had the opportunity.
"Hey... something happened at the mine, and everyone in the village went to the city to make a living..." The shop owner looked bitter.
It seems that the main source of income for people in this village is the mine, which is a bit like our Taiping Village where cinnabar mines are produced.
"What happened?" Heizi asked curiously.
"It's said to be a landslide, but it's not. Some people said they saw ghosts." The shop owner lowered his body and said mysteriously.
"So all the trucks at the entrance of the village have stopped working?" I recalled the trucks I saw last night.
"Yeah, we all rely on the mines to make a living. Suddenly there is no work. If it weren't for this store, I would have wanted to leave. Fortunately, there are still some drivers who come here occasionally." The store owner frowned and looked outside the store.
"Hey... look at my mouth. Don't spoil your appetite. Please use it slowly." The shop owner returned to the kitchen with a smile.
"Go and take a look?" I raised my eyes and looked at everyone.
"Why don't you hurry up and eat? I'm so hungry." Heizi lowered his head and started eating.
With Heizi's sharp tongue, we quickly asked for the way to the mine, looked at the car and headed straight for our destination.
From a distance, I saw a man dressed as a Taoist priest opening an altar and practicing Buddhism outside the gate. However, the gate of the mine behind was tightly closed. It seemed that something unclean had really been encountered.
"What are you doing?" A security guard walked over nervously.
"Businessmen, is your boss here?" Heizi responded with a smile.
The security guard looked at our car and saw the three beauties in our car. He walked to the gate doubtfully.
A man in black looked towards us, said hello to the Taoist priest and walked towards us.
The man has a big belly and is not tall. He looks like a nouveau riche.
"Guys, it's not a good time to discuss business today. Please go back." The upstart came over and issued an eviction order.
"Are you the boss here?" Heizi was not angry, opened the car door and walked out.
"Yes, I am, what do you want?" The upstart frowned, looking a little nervous.
"It's okay, I'm just curious to see how you open the altar." Heizi said and took out a cigarette and handed it over.
"I believe in Feng Shui. I have this ceremony before starting work. Please come back." The upstart pushed Heizi's hand away and did not take his cigarette.
"I heard that work here has been suspended for a long time. Let's talk. Maybe we can help." Heizi didn't mind, put away his cigarette and asked.
"Are you a member of the government? I have paid enough compensation to the workers who suffered the injury in accordance with the regulations." The upstart frowned and looked me up and down as I got out of the car.
"We are just doing business. I heard that your production here is good, so I stopped by to ask. Don't think too much about it." Heizi still refused to give up.
The upstart was originally very wary, but until the three women got out of the car, everyone's attention was attracted, not to mention him.
"You've seen the current situation. I don't know when the business will start." Perhaps the three women made the nouveau riche relax his vigilance, and told Heizi the truth with a grimace.
"What? Is there something evil happening in the mine?" I said and walked to the upstart.
"Yes, the work has been suspended for a month, and I directly sealed the entrance to the mine." The upstart finally told the truth.
However, the Taoist priest at the gate looked at us very unkindly, and it was not appropriate for us to force our way in.
"Well, let's stay in the village for two days. If we can't solve the problem, you can come to us." I grabbed Heizi, who was still trying to persuade me, and spoke first.
"You?" No matter how stupid the upstart is, he should have picked up on the clues.
"My senior brother knows some Taoism." Heizi looked at me with a smile.
"How much does it cost?" The upstart now felt a little sick and rushed to seek medical treatment.
"We don't charge any money. If you can trust us, come to us. Let's go." I said and asked everyone to get in the car.
"Why don't you talk to him again?" Heizi asked as he turned the car around and went down the mountain.
"Do you think we are in our town? They don't know us, and they can't believe us even if we just say a few words. Besides, aren't there others who are with us?" Of course I was talking about the Taoist priest who opened the altar at the gate and practiced Taoism. .
"That guy is a liar at first glance." Heizi opened his mouth and cursed.
"You can't say that, what if you are really capable." I smiled and leaned on my seat.
"If you have the guts, just go in and do some crazy tricks. The situation here is not like looking for water corpses." Heizi said and became excited.
