The dog lay there. The old coachman took two puffs from his pipe and said,""The boatman started work very late. He should still be sleeping. Wait a while, I'll get Donkey Eggy to find her.”
Wu Sansheng looked up at the sun in the sky and then at the time on his watch. He said,"It's almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and he's still not starting work. What kind of work schedule is this?”
When the old coachman heard this, he smiled bitterly and said,""He's the only boatman in our village. He starts work whenever he wakes up. Sometimes, he doesn't start work for a day or a few days.”
"Then why don't your village hold a voting meeting and replace him as a boatman?”"It'll be more convenient for the villagers if we change to a more diligent boatman," Wu Sansheng said.”
"Do you think we don't want to change a boatman?”
The old coachman looked helpless and said,""The Mountain God here only gives him face. Once others enter that cave, they will definitely not be able to come out. He was the only one who could bring them over. He did not know what was going on.”
"There's a cave ahead?" Wu Sansheng was slightly stunned. He immediately took out the map and looked at it. Only then did he understand something and said,"There really is a river cave here. I didn't notice it before.”
Then, he asked in confusion,"Uncle Li, from what you're saying, can the cave in the lake eat people?"”
The old coachman said while smoking,""I heard from the elders in the village that hundreds of years ago, before the village existed, the cave was already there.”
"This cave is connected to both ends. It's very strange inside.”
"As time passed, the village spread the word that there was a snake spirit in the cave. It had set up a hidden stake in the water to prevent the boat from entering.。
"Then, one day, a man suddenly appeared at the edge of the village in a small boat from that hole. He said he was a peddler from outside.”
"The villagers didn't believe him. They all said that he was a snake demon and wanted to kill him.”
"Fortunately, there were a few daughters-in-law from the neighboring village who recognized him. They said that he was really a peddler and went to the neighboring village every year.”
"The elders of the clan in the village arranged for someone to go to the neighboring village to ask. In the end, that person was really a peddler.”
"Then, the village let the person go. From then on, the cave seemed to recognize people. Only the boatman's family could enter and exit directly.”
This matter was a little mysterious, and everyone treated it as a story. Looking at the dog lying there sunbathing, he asked the old coachman,""Since that cave is so dangerous, won't something happen to this dog?”
"Then I don't know." The coachman shook his head and said,""That boatman's family has been able to enter and leave the cave safely for hundreds of years. Their dog can also enter and leave the cave safely. Isn't this very normal? In any case, other than this boatman, no one in our village dares to cross this waterway.”
"Donkey Egg, come here." Wu Sansheng bent down and squatted on the ground, waving at the dog who was lying on the ground and basking in the sun.
The moment he heard someone calling him, the dog named Donkey Egg immediately stood up and ran to Wu Sansheng's feet while shaking his head.
As the dog came over, Wu Sansheng smelled an unpleasant stench.
"So smelly." Wu Sansheng frowned slightly. He lowered his head and sniffed the dog's head twice. Then, he pinched his nose and stood up. He seemed to be talking to himself, but also to someone else."Why does it smell like this?"
Hearing this, Tian Zhen was baffled.
She didn't know what her third uncle meant when he said that it was smelly.
He curiously walked over to Gou 'zi and squatted down to smell it.
The next moment, he stood up.
"Why is this dog so smelly? It smells so bad."”
"Little Third Master." Pan Zi saw his embarrassed look and slapped him.""You're still far from learning from Third Master.”
"Pan Zi, come here for a moment."
Wu Sansheng waved at him and said with a serious expression,"Take a whiff of this dog's scent.”
Pan Zi didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly walked over, squatted down, and sniffed the dog's head. He was shocked and whispered,""This…is the stench of corpses."
"Yes." Wu Sansheng nodded and instructed Pan Zi,""Our journey might not be peaceful. Later, you can pick out the valuables and carry them on your back with Da Kui.”
"Alright, Third Master." Pan Zi knew the depth of the situation. He walked to the ox cart with a calm expression and put the valuables into the backpack with Da Kui.
"Third Uncle…"
"What's the stench of corpses?" asked Innocent softly.”
Wu Sansheng recalled the past and began to explain to him what the smell of corpses was. Then, he talked about the corpse herders of Xiangxi.
Zhou Han carried his backpack and sat on a rock. As he listened to the uncle and nephew chatting, he recalled the tomb robbing novels and TV dramas he had read and compared them.
Although there were some minor errors, the overall dialogue was still the same. The only difference was that with him now, the future plot development might not be as close to the original tomb raider as it was now.
After all, his appearance would cause many things that should have happened to not happen, and many things that did not happen would become things that happened.
Previously, because he had read their fortunes and said that there would be a bloody disaster if their glabella turned black, Innocent and the others were not so enthusiastic about his existence.
After all, the people in this world.
He only liked to hear nice words.
Even if it was a lie.
He didn't like to hear the unpleasant truth.
It was like a person who was very ugly.
You could say that he was good-looking, but if you said that he was really ugly, it would definitely make the other party angry.
Of course, Zhou Han didn't care if Wu Sansheng and the others treated him well or not. After all, he wasn't very familiar with them.
Moreover, the truth could not be faked, and the lies could not be true. He said that Wu Sansheng and the others had a bloody disaster, so there must be a bloody disaster.
After they experienced the bloody disaster in the cave, they would know if what they said was accurate. At that time, their attitude would definitely take a 180-degree turn.
"Old Master!"
At this moment, Wu Sansheng looked at the old man driving the carriage and asked,""Your boatman ancestor came from Xiangxi, right?”
The expression of the old coachman, who was smoking a pipe not far away, changed slightly when he heard this. He said somewhat unnaturally,"I don't know about that. That was when his great-grandfather was still alive. Who knows where his ancestors came from?”
The old coachman didn't want to talk too much about this topic, so he looked up at the sun and said,""I reckon that the boatman should be awake by now.”
Then, he said to the young paparazzo who was lying near Wu Sansheng,""Donkey Egg, go and bring your master over.”
"Woof woof!" Gou 'zi was very understanding of human nature. He got up and barked happily at the old man before jumping into the lake and swimming towards the back of the mountain.
Looking at the wandering dog, Zhou Hanxin said,""This dog lives longer than its owner!"
