When we arrived at the small mountain village, it was already after eight o'clock in the evening.
Sister Li said that the small mountain village is located deep in the mountains. I thought I would have to climb a mountain, but I didn't expect that a flat winding mountain road leads directly to the entrance of the small mountain village.
What surprised me even more was that there were all kinds of luxury cars parked at the entrance of the small mountain village!
We arrived relatively late, and the parking location was still some distance from the village entrance. After getting off the bus, we walked along the winding mountain road toward the village. Luxury cars were parked on both sides of the road.
Lin Xiaoqiu drank too much, so Sister Li and I carried her away.
I smiled at Sister Li and said, "Sister Li, I'm sorry."
"Sister Li," Lin Xiaoqiu hooked her neck around Sister Li and said drunkenly, "It's no problem to leave this matter to us. You've found the right person for us. Let me tell you, she has the immortal family and several great immortals in her." Son, this is amazing. As soon as we arrive and the Xian family shows up, everything will be settled..."
Sister Li frowned due to the smell of Lin Xiaoqiu's wine.
I turned Lin Xiaoqiu's head to my side, and she leaned on my shoulder. When she hiccupped, the smell of alcohol hit her nostrils.
I frowned, then looked past the drunk Lin Xiaoqiu to Sister Li, "Sister Li, are all these cars on the roadside from your village?"
Sister Li nodded, with a bit of pride in the smile on her face, "Tang Xiangu, not only the cars you see, but the road under our feet also belongs to our village. From the exit of the highway to the entrance of the village, the entire road is Our village raised funds to build it.”
I was shocked, "How much does this cost?"
Sister Li smiled and said nothing.
I swallowed my saliva, calmed myself down, and asked, "Sister Li, what does your village do, and how can you be so rich?" Does the village have any mineral resources?
Sister Li said, "There are no special industries in our village. Everyone is very hard-working, and with good luck, everyone is a big boss in the industry. My family can only be considered middle-class in the village, and there are several people in the village with assets of over 100 million." .”
My eyes widened.
In an instant, I believed that this village was protected by a true god.
Walking to the entrance of the village, a stone statue more than two meters high stands at the entrance of the village. The stone statue is carved with a roc bird spreading its wings. The carving is lifelike, especially the eyes of the roc bird, which are bright and shining in the dark night. There is a little light, as if these eyes are a pair of living creatures.
This was probably carved at a high cost. I don’t know which master made it, but the carving looks so real!
"Don't look at it," Sister Li reminded me in a low voice, "Tang Xiangu, this is the statue of the true god. If you look at it like this, you will be considered disrespectful by the villagers."
I was startled and raised my head to take a closer look at the roc.
Is this bird an idol?
After entering the village and passing the statue of the Dapeng bird, the whole village jumped into my sight. The village finally has the feeling of a small mountain village.
The road under our feet was a muddy dirt road. It had probably rained a few days ago, and the middle of the road was filled with mud. There were a few bricks thrown into the muddy water, which were obviously meant for people to step on.
I walked on the dry ground, and Sister Li stepped on the bricks. As for Lin Xiaoqiu, we really couldn't help her. She was drunk and waded through the muddy water all the way.
The houses in the village are very dilapidated, basically mud houses, and occasionally one or two red brick houses can be seen.
Sister Li explained to me that everyone is doing business outside, and no one lives in the village for a long time except for family sacrifices, so no one renovates the houses here.
While talking, we arrived at Sister Li’s house.
In a small courtyard surrounded by a fence, there were five or six middle-aged men wearing white shirts and black trousers, with pot bellies and thinning hair sitting on some rotten bricks.
This shabby little courtyard looks a lot more valuable because of these men. They sit here, and the aura around them is like that of the grassroots under a big leader.
"Xiaoyun is here." When he saw Sister Li entering the courtyard, a middle-aged man raised his hand and greeted Sister Li, "Next year it will be your turn to stay in the village. Have you settled down at the company? I need you, uncle. When it comes to helping, uncle will always be on the front foot."
"Thank you, Uncle Liu."
Sister Li responded with a smile, and then took me and helped Lin Xiaoqiu into the house.
The shabby little mud house looks like a dilapidated house from the outside, but there is something else going on inside.
A soft big bed, a beautiful desk, a neat and clean white wardrobe, looking at the interior decoration, it is completely a modern finely decorated room.
After putting Lin Xiaoqiu on the bed, Sister Li found a new set of clothes from the closet and asked me to help Lin Xiaoqiu change into them. Lin Xiaoqiu was already full of ideas.
I thanked Sister Li and then helped Lin Xiaoqiu change clothes.
Sister Li went out to talk to the group of middle-aged men.
Their conversation was transmitted into the house, and I thought I might be able to hear something about the true god of the village, but in the end, all I heard was analysis of the current economic situation.
From domestic to international, it made me sleepy. After changing Lin Xiaoqiu’s clothes, I lay down next to her and fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
When, when, when.
He knocked very slowly, like a person with limited mobility.
I was woken up and just about to speak, when a dark figure suddenly rushed over. The dark figure covered my mouth and made a silencing gesture to me.
Under the pale moonlight, I saw clearly that the person covering my mouth was Lin Xiaoqiu.
She smelled of alcohol and seemed to have just woken up. She was probably awakened by the knock on the door. Her hair was messy and she shook her head at me.
The action she just made when she rushed over to cover my mouth was scarier than the sound of knocking on the door, right?
I was so frightened by her that my heart was beating fast. I rolled my eyes at her to indicate that I understood and I couldn't speak.
After knocking on the door for more than a dozen times, the knocking stopped, and then there was a rustling sound, as if someone was walking outside the door, and at the same time a woman's doubtful voice came.
"Where's my head? Where's my head?"
The rustling sound became farther and farther away, and the woman's voice slowly disappeared and could no longer be heard.
Lin Xiaoqiu let go of me, let out a sigh, and said, "It's really scary. I just woke up and encountered a big one! Xiaoning, do you know how dangerous it was just now? If I hadn't covered your mouth, you would have said Sound, you may have been taken away by that evil ghost by now."
"Is that woman an evil spirit?" I felt scared for a while.
Lin Xiaoqiu nodded, "It seems that my guess is right, there is something dirty in this village. When daybreak, we will go find this dirty thing's lair and get rid of her!"
Lin Xiaoqiu is full of confidence, but I don’t think so.
Lin Xiaoqiu was drunk before and she didn't know the situation in the village. I told her about how everyone in this village is a rich man, and finally I said, "Lin Xiaoqiu, will dirty things help people in a village get rich? There may be something hidden in this that we don't know about."
I got out of bed, took out the incense from my school bag, lit it, and said, "I'll call the waiter at my hall and ask him to find out what's going on in this village."
I've come all the way to a small ravine, thousands of miles away from my home. If I call Hu Xiaoyi here and ask him about something, Shuo Bai probably won't know.
