These two people were trusted aides sent by Third Uncle to protect Wuxie. Third Uncle had heard of Shen Xuan and Little Brother's methods. They were not afraid of dumplings. Grave robbing was the most afraid of black and white. Half Li, who was ranked third in the Upper Three Gates, had his legs broken by his accomplices in the tomb because of black and white. If not for his life, he would have died early in the morning.
The tomb of the Warring States Period was a huge tomb. It was not comparable to the objects of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. If it was not for the fact that Third Uncle had other important matters to deal with, he would have come personally. He had no choice but to send two confidants to follow Wu Xie to prevent anything from happening to Wu Xie in the tomb.
As the little brother didn't know how to drive, they could only drive in shifts of four people. Each person took about three hours. During the journey, Da Kui, Fan Zi, and Wu Xie bragged about everything. Shen Xuan and the little brother basically didn't talk much.
Their destination was a village in the depths of Meng Mountain in Pingyang. It was called Huami Village. It was in the depths of the mountain. If there was no guide to lead the way, it was easy to go astray. When the group arrived at the Meng Mountain tourist attraction, they wanted to find a few older guides to ask if anyone knew where Huami Village was.
Wu Xie found a few older local guides and said that they were going to Huami Village. The older guides did not know.
In the end, Wu Xie gritted her teeth and said,"As long as we reach the place, I'll give you a thousand dollars in cash as a reward."”
When the local tour guide heard that, he drooled. Being a tour guide in a scenic spot for a day was only worth 100 yuan, but he was paid 1,000 yuan for every place he went. This money was too easy to earn. However, they did not know where Huami Village was, so they could only stare at the 1,000 yuan in a daze.
It was not surprising that the tour guide did not know. This place name was from the Warring States Period and was not even on the map. Whether or not he could ask for it would depend on luck.
If they couldn't find a group of people, they could only walk deeper into the mountains. However, it was inevitable that they would spend some time.
Just as the group was about to leave, a shifty-eyed young tour guide suddenly caught up to them. His gaze swept across the crowd and stopped on Shen Xuan. He asked,"Boss, are you going to explore the Secret Melting Village?”
Shen Xuan felt that there was a chance and asked,""Do you know where Secret Melting Village is?"
The shifty-eyed young man said unhurriedly," I do know, but this place is not easy to find. Even if you ask everyone in Meng Mountain, no one will know where the place you mentioned is. Speaking of which, it's a coincidence that I received a tourist who was an old man in his sixties. He lived in Huami Village since he was young. He even left me a phone number. I didn't save the old man's phone number in my phone…"
The young tour guide said a lot, and Shen Xuan could tell that this kid would not speak without money.
"If you want money, just ask for it. We know the general direction. We want to find a guide to avoid detours. I'll give you 500 yuan. The day after tomorrow, find the old man to be our guide and bring us to the secret village.”
When the young tour guide heard Shen Xuan's words, he guessed that Shen Xuan was a wily old fox. Such people were the hardest to deal with. If he could earn 500 yuan, it was 500 yuan. To put it bluntly, it was just a matter of a phone call. He smiled bitterly and said,"Then leave your phone number. I'll contact you when she arrives.”
Shen Xuan left the phone to the young tour guide, and the group drove to the guest house at the foot of the mountain to rest.
Fortunately, it was not the peak season for tourism. There were still many rooms in the guest house, so everyone could get a room.
The next afternoon, the group of people had just finished lunch at a Chinese restaurant when the young tour guide led the old man. The old man was also a sensible person and did not say much. He only said," Don't drive your car. We should set off now and reach the place before dark."”
The group did not hesitate and set off.
Shen Xuan gave the owner of the guest house some money, and the car stopped at the guest house. Everyone carried their luggage and set off.
The good days of the group finally came to an end. The minibus bumped on the bumpy road for two hours, and the motorcycle bumped on the dirt road for another two hours. The last part of the journey could not even be driven by the motorcycle. The ox cart swayed for more than an hour. When the ox cart stopped, Wu Xie threw up the food she had eaten at noon.
The only building they passed by was a place called Guazi Temple. The remaining 100 kilometers were endless plains.
They stopped by the stream. The stream stretched as far as the eye could see, about five kilometers long.
The foreigners looked hostile. This old man had brought them to a dead end. It seemed that this old man and the tour guide had ganged up on each other?
The sky was getting dark, and a dog ran over from afar.
Fan Zi was already tense. He patted the old man's shoulder and asked in a strange tone,"Old Master, do we have to ride the dog for the rest of the way?”
The old man laughed and said," Haha, you must be joking. The last part of this journey is by water. The dog is called Er Dan. It's used to send a message. It can bring the boat over."”
This was five miles away, and the sky was getting dark. How could this dog swim over and call the boat over? "Is this dog a good swimmer?" Wu Xie asked in confusion.”
The old man grinned and said,"This dog can swim really well. Er Dan, go and try it."”
The dog named Er Dan was quite human. It stuck out its tongue at the old man's words, got up, and plunged into the river. After digging two circles ashore, the dog shook its fur and wagged its tail.
"This dog is really not bad!"
Seeing that Fan Zi had let down his guard, the old man said,""I'll get Er Dan to report to the boatmen.”
