Chapter 33: The Deal

Excavation of a mountain, this is not a small matter, where it is a big action, if it is said to be a private excavation by the villagers. Surely there will be such and such a bureau involved, but because this time is the Liu family presided over, Huang Lao manipulated behind the scenes, so the progress is very fast, at this time, it seems that a lot of people have reacted to, why will the Liu family came to the village child, this nine miles of mountains on the temple of the Niangniang bizarrely by human arson it?

What is the fire to burn down, is it something that needs to be hidden? In the words of the fat man, these too obvious traces before sleep can be thought of, the problem is that too easy to get things so that self-righteous people overlooked, including me, all think that the secret of the Lotus Basin hidden very deep very deep, otherwise why is it worth Li Jianfeng lurking here for so many years?

Because of the previous tips, so that the focus of this excavation, in the nine miles of the mountain near the Niangniang Temple, in addition to the villagers organized to dig the mountain armed, the Liu family is also with the then Huang Lao dig lock head of the village children's back of the mountain the same engaged in the caravan involved in it. Dug out of the soil, just Luoyang City has a garbage burial project, this lotus basin village, all of a sudden became more lively.

The mountain is not a big mountain, nature also does not have the mountain is spiritual, everyone has no taboo are digging. Because on the surface or the Liu family is presiding over the matter of the big picture, so we three or four people are still considered a hobo, this day, the fat man they went fishing again, I'm over here about nothing, lying on the bed to play with a cell phone, suddenly the window over there, I didn't care, because the Westlake Hotel next to Nine Mile Hill is not far away, the construction is very noisy.

But after a while, my window is a loud bang, I looked up and saw a face on the window, looking at me, and this face I am very familiar with, it is the one in the lock of the village we came after the disappearance of Song Xiaoguang! It seemed that Fatty had not guessed wrong, after Jianfeng Li had directed everyone's attention to the correct Nine Mile Mountain, Song Xiaoguang would have to show up! I stood up with a roll and called out to the window, "Grandpa Song!"

As soon as I stood up, he started to run, and it was so hard for me to see this Song Xiaoguang's figure, where would I let him run away? I chased out, and even saw him standing in the doorway looking at me, now I understand even if I am a fool, is Song Xiaoguang want to see me, this is to take me out. As soon as I figured out this I wasn't in a hurry, just jogging to keep up, until I ran out of the Lotus Basin, most of the villagers are now on Nine Mile Mountain, the village is almost empty, but we still ran to the village side of the field.

"Grandpa Song, there will be no one here, don't run." I said.

He stood still and looked at me, the expression on his face was very changeable, he asked me, "You came out with me like this, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

My heart sank, I subconsciously, did not take Song Xiaoguang as a villain, and he is from the lock head village, I rightly took him as my own elders to see, really did not think that he would be unfavorable to me this, he said I remembered, this side of a person are not, in case this old man on me, I can not beat him how to do?

"You want to kill me, where to do not move, as to come here?" I said with a smile on my face, but I was still on guard.

"Follow me." He looked at it, continued to walk forward, walked not far, he pulled a plank from the ground, and then jumped down, I took a look, inside seems to be a secret room like existence, hesitated, also jumped in, in fact, this old man's performance today, undoubtedly admitted to me, he is not Song Yaguang, but Song Xiaoguang.

This is not the same as the secret room on TV below, is a similar sweet potato cellar like existence, there is a battery light, and a small bed, other than that nothing else, look at me a little heartbroken, Song Xiaoguang disappeared after we came, after that is to hide in here?

There is no stool in this cellar, the two of us sat on the bed, I handed him a cigarette, he did not refuse, after the two are silent smoking, he does not seem to want to talk like, after a while, I really can not help but ask: "Grandpa Song, what in the end you come here?"

A person who could have had a beautiful daughter-in-law, why did he choose to leave his home to come here? And to live like this?

"There are some things that you will naturally know when the time comes, but right now, it's not the time." Song Xiaoguang said.

"Now, it can't be stopped, those people are going to dig up the Nine Mile Mountain, the secrets inside won't be able to be hidden, so we have to rush before they do, and go to that place for a bit, I'm looking for you today, because I want to talk to you, tomorrow night, you let the two people who are with you come here." Song Xiaoguang said.

"And then?" I asked.

"I know there's a way to get in after they dig." Song Xiaoguang said.

Now I was depressed, Song Xiaoguang looked for me and asked me to ask Fatty and Lin Baqian out, but what about me? He just said for them to tomorrow night. "What about me?" I asked.

"You don't come, if in three days time, we haven't come out, you go back to Locked Head Village Er, take this thing, burn it in front of the Li family three ghosts' graves, remember, don't come out again, don't go anywhere until He Zhenzhen goes back to Locked Head Village Er. If you have any accidents in Locked Village, naturally someone will help you, but after you leave Locked Village, I'm afraid that no one will be able to protect you." Song Xiaoguang said.

Song Xiaoguang handed me, is three incense, very short, black, do not know what material, but if you smell, there is a subtle fragrance.

"Grandpa Song?" I said with a bit of excitement.

He waved his hand at me and said, "Don't ask me why, this is a deal Pearl and I made with your grandfather. Slowly you will know, remember, besides your family, no one will truly help you without benefit, there are all bargaining chips."

"And what was the bargaining chip in your deal with my grandfather? I feel, with Grandma Pearl's ability, as if my grandfather has nothing to trade with you guys, right?" I wondered.

"There is." He laughed, then he patted my shoulder and said, "Don't ask now, I haven't figured out how to tell you yet, but after you enter this place, your two friends will know some of the truth, and if they make it out, they'll tell you for me." Song Xiaoguang said.

After saying that, he gave an expulsion order for me to go back, I pulled his arm and asked the last question saying, "Grandpa Song, absolutely the last question, where did she go, Grandma White Pearl White? Li Jianfeng those people, why did they set up an idol for Grandma Bai on Nine Mile Mountain?"

"That idol was erected by me." Song Xiaoguang said, it seemed that as soon as Bai Zhenzhu was mentioned, there was a wave of sadness in Song Xiaoguang's eyes.

"You still haven't answered me, where did she go, Grandma Bai." I said eagerly.

"You should see her soon." Song Xiaoguang said. After this time, he was dead set on not wanting to speak again, I had no choice but to leave, when I went back, Fatty looked at me with a smile and said, "San Liang, you've seen Song Xiaoguang, haven't you?"

"How do you know? Tracking me?" I wondered, tracking me know for sure is impossible, does it mean that the fat man can even count this thing?

"Do you think Lao Lin and I intentionally left you here these days? Fat master I feel, that Song Xiaoguang to really want to appear, looking for the first person, is definitely you." Fatty said.

"Why me?" I said.

"I am him, I also see you, people and stupid, there is no any threat." Fatty laughed out loud.

I did not have the mood to joke with him, and later told him about Song Xiaoguang to see me, after I finished I asked the fat man said, "How, feel anything different?"

Fatty shook his head and said, "No, in fact, so far, everything with my guess is also similar, when they those out of the lock village child, from in to out of this process, absolutely not nothing to get, more or less to do something to trade."

CHAPTER XXXIV Three Days

Sometimes it's similar to being a curse, like when we're watching TV, sometimes the male piggyback will say to his beloved female piggyback. Darling, we'll get married when we've fought off the Japs in eight years, but usually such a picture is followed by the man dying in battle. Song Xiaoguang said to me that if we all can not come back how so and so, it became a psychological shadow in my heart.

The next afternoon, Fatty and Lin Bachan, plus Song Xiaoguang left, into the Jiu Li Mountain, said three days if not back, then let me go. May be because of the influence of the TV series, let me very worried about them to go really can't come back, although I have great confidence in Lin Bachi and fat man's hands, but in the face of some unknown things, who do not dare to say that 100 points of certainty, and even Lin Bachi dare not to say to me before he left that he can really come back unharmed.

Three days, three days time is very fast, these three days happened a lot of things, the most important is in the third day, nine miles under the Mountain Niangniang Temple, finally dug up something, that is a group of stones, lotus pots appear the kind of valuable stones, not stone carving, has always been four square four positive stone. Look at the shape of the stone, it is similar to some ancient large buildings of some foundation stones. And what was dug underneath this Nyonya Temple was similar to the existence of an ancient city ruins.

Dozens of stones were scattered among them, arranged in irregular shapes, this discovery made the villagers almost go crazy, a stone costs millions of dollars, how much is this dozen of stones that suddenly appeared? Even if the people present divided, how much can one person share?

I do not know whether this collection of stones in the end is to spend the money of the Liu family or spend the money of Huang Lao, in short, the Liu family is very generous, these stones, although the Liu family and the villagers jointly discovered, or a stone one million price to collectively buy, and then, once again, these stones were sent to Luoyang.

Now it is very obvious that these stones are fake, so I actually very do not understand the old man Huang's plan, if he is rather than let go of the wrong words, then it is also too rich and generous a little bit, has been looking for all the time to buy, are not the one they want, then why continue to insist on it?

These large stones were hoisted up by the crane, even Lei Zi think, these concentrated stone inside there must be the most valuable one, this is the gambler's mentality, open the ten big, this certainly should open the small, right? In fact, they do not know, no matter how many times wrong, the chances of you picking the right one this time, always just one in two.

The stones were transported away, the villagers' passion completely ignited, the excavation is still in progress, but it is clear that the number of these stones will not be too much, today's discovery, looks like the last stone.

I was in a bad mood, heavy all day, not because Huang Lao may get the real stone, but that today is already the third day, Song Xiaoguang and Fatty Lin eight thousand, did not come back, and according to the previous Song Xiaoguang's advice to me, by now, I should go, back to the lock head village, never go out again before the real person He came back.

I waited until the evening, after twelve o'clock, should be considered a new day, right? Lei Zi has prepared the car, originally waited until twelve o'clock to go, but really to twelve o'clock, I decided to wait until dawn, at this time my mind, absolutely unstable.

Have been waiting until two o'clock in the morning, I did not wait for Lin Bachan and Fatty them, but waited for a phone call, this phone is Mr. Zhai's, he asked me on the phone, "Huang Lao asked you, want to cooperate."

"Cooperate with me, old brother, are you drunk?" I asked. What kind of medicine is this Old Huang's gourd selling this time? We should know that a few days ago, we had almost done it in Luoyang, and he had even let the Liu family finish off a few of us.

"San Liang, wait, Old Huang wants to talk to you." After Mr. Zhai finished speaking, he appeared to hand his phone to Huang Lao, and the phone immediately rang with Huang Lao's leathery voice saying, "Little friend San Liang, how have you been?"

"Thanks to your blessing, it's not bad, but have something to say quickly, I think our relationship is not very good, is not it?" I said.

"My people told me, one night three days ago, Lin Bachi and Liu Tianchi went out with you, then you went back to the place where you lived alone, these three days, you kept running to Nine Mile Mountain, and even at night time, you stood in the yard to look at that mountain, with a worried face, if I'm not wrong, Lin Bachi and Fatty Liu, should have gone to the hinterland of the Nine Mile Mountain, and then up to now. have not returned, right?" Huang Lao laughed.

His words made me a little surprised, of course, it's just a little bit, I'm being watched by him, it's kind of expected, but he was able to see that Lin Bachan went into the mountain from my actions in these three days, it's also considered to be a subtle observation.

"You've found this out but didn't dare to stop it, what, a Lin Bachan, really scared your old man like this?" I laughed.

"Don't grind your teeth, tomorrow I will go over, if you want to save Lin Bachan, you can follow me." Huang Lao said, then hung up the phone, I hold the phone dazed, just answered the phone, I did not avoid Lei Zi, he said to me after listening, "San Liang brother, not right ah, surnamed Huang when so kind?"

"No matter when it has never been so kind, but who knows what medicine he is selling in his gourd." I laughed bitterly, Huang Lao this suddenly pulled me, let me puzzled, could it be that, I still have any use?

Is to follow the old man Huang, or listen to Song Xiaoguang's back to lock the head of the village, all of a sudden became a difficult choice for me, but I finally gave the right to decide to God, Leizi looked at the time, advised me to go to bed, where can I sleep? Pointed a son of a cigarette sitting in the yard looking at the sky, I suddenly feel that I myself is a heavenly monster, heck, why else would I be surrounded by people who can not have a peace of mind?

After a while, I once again received a phone call from Mr. Zhai, just now the phone should be Huang Lao let play, now this, is my personal relationship with him, he asked me on the phone laughing: "Is not very unexpected?"

"I have to say not surprised, you have to believe it, say it, in the end because of what, Huang Lao want to find me cooperation? I can really be alone now." I said.

"Specifically not clear, Huang Lao so smart people, how can not know we have a connection, so now to me is not without words, but I seem to guess out a little, as if related to a thing on your body, Huang Lao quite want." Mr. Zhai said.

"Jade pendant?" I did not ask, but still held back, Mr. Zhai is not that trustworthy, which I also know, the outsiders who know the secret of this jade pendant on my body, is only Chen Jiuzi and Fatty, when did Huang Lao also know?

"Let's not talk about this, tell me, should I follow Huang Lao once or not?" I asked.

"It's good to go and have a look, isn't it? San Liang, I'll be honest with you, as soon as Lin Bachan started to go, Huang Lao knew about it, and didn't stop him, firstly because he knew he couldn't stop Lin Bachan, and secondly, he didn't have the intention of letting him explore the path, but now, a place where even Lin Bachan and Liu Tianzhi didn't come out, Huang Lao's heart is actually creepy, old age, the older you get, the more you cherish your life." Mr. Zhai said.

"So looking for me and utilizing a certain thing of mine is tantamount to Old Huang trying to find a talisman?" I asked with a smile.

"En, it should be like this, perhaps Old Huang thought that as the only direct grandson of the Guo family, you must have some secret in you that everyone has not discovered so far, he said more than once that you were lucky, luck, is also a kind of strength, isn't it? That time he even told me that if I want to be safe, I should follow you. Because no matter if it is Guo Zhongyong or Guo Gengchen, even if it is Zhao Wuji Guo Aiguo, or even that He Anxia who doesn't know where he is, he won't let you die. I think that's the real reason why he wants to pull you along, he thinks that you are occupying the great qi." Mr. Zhai said.

I was speechless, well damn a good luck is the greatest strength.

Early the next morning, Huang Lao came, did not enter the Nine Mile Mountain, the first to come, is this West Lake Hotel where I live.
