Chapter 23

Taoyuan village is located in the deep mountains of Sichuan and Chongqing. It is remote and secluded with closed traffic. The only mountain road that can connect with the outside world was dug by the old and young men of the whole village when Fang Wenhu was a child, which took several years. Fang Wenhu's family and the vast majority of people in the village moved their families one after another at that time. After that, it was like a paradise for seclusion, which no longer had the style of the past.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but have a doubt in my heart. Just about to open his mouth, the van has stopped in front of a tile roofed house with bamboo and wood structure, and there is a van parked in the yard. It should be Fang Wenhu who came before.

Fang Wenhu said, "Mr. Hu, Xiao Qi, Xiao Jiang, this is my uncle's house. It's like going to my own house. Don't be polite."

Before we entered the room, we saw bowls, chopsticks and food on the table in the main room, and it was still steaming. Looking at this situation, it's like Fang Wenhu and they know when we can arrive. Later, I learned from Hu Qingguo that he had first informed Fang Wenhu of our departure time by pager before we set out in the morning. Therefore, Fang Wenhu just estimated when we could arrive.

When we entered the room and sat down around the square table, a man of about 50 came in with freshly fried vegetables. Fang Wenhu immediately said, "little Hu, this is my little uncle, Liu Dafu. Little uncle, this is little Hu..."

After some introduction, since he was Fang Wenhu's little uncle and older than us, everyone politely called him uncle Liu. It may be that no outsiders have come here for a long time. He seems very happy to see so many of us.

"You eat first. I have another soup. It'll be ready soon."

We're really hungry. You're welcome. Sit down and start. I didn't expect that the dishes on the table looked very ordinary farmhouse stir fry, and the taste was not inferior to that of the cook in the restaurant outside. I said, "Uncle Fang, uncle Liu, this skill is OK. It won't be learned, ha ha."

"Speaking of it, we really have a fate. Since everyone follows Mr. Hu now, don't mention the previous jokes. I'm a few years older than you, just call me brother Fang." Fang Wenhu said again: "in fact, you're really right. My little uncle really learned this skill outside."

Jiang Yilong said, "outside? Uncle Liu is a cook? Since he is a cook, how can he still live in Taoyuan village now?"

I saw Fang Wenhu's face sinking slightly. I hurriedly said to Jiang Yilong, "elder martial brother, eat quickly."

Jiang Yilong will realize what I mean, oh.

Fang Wenhu said, "Oh, don't get me wrong. All the people sitting here are their own. There's nothing you can't say. Besides, my little uncle may need little Hu's help in this matter."

Hu Qingguo was stunned. "What's up?"

After the mountain road was repaired, Liu Dafu and Fang Wenhu moved out of Taoyuan village together. However, Liu Dafu had problems from the sketch line. He always made trouble in Taoyuan village. He still had nothing and was alone for decades. Later, in order to feed his mouth and correct his evil ways, he learned the skill of cook. However, he didn't want to be a cook for several years. Just when he had a little savings and was ready to beg a woman for the rest of his life, at this time, his drinking problem made trouble again. Once he quarreled with someone after drinking and stabbed him to death.

It's natural to kill for life, but Liu Dafu didn't want to go to prison, let alone die. He fled everywhere. Finally, there was no way to escape back to Taoyuan village. Of course, the police didn't eat for nothing. Finally, they found out the place of Taoyuan village. However, every time the police came, Liu Dafu would immediately escape to the mountains and forests and hide for a few days. For one thing, there are mountains around Taoyuan village. If you really want to hide one person, it's not easy to find one. Secondly, the people in the village sheltered you for several times. Finally, the public security didn't come anymore.

While we were talking, Liu Dafu also sat back at the table for dinner. After Fang Wenhu finished, he immediately said, "it's all the trouble I made in a moment of confusion. I'm very sorry to think of it now. However, according to Hu Zi, little Hu has great skills, but can you help me... To tell the truth, I really don't want to stay here alone."

Hu Qingguo didn't reply to Liu Dafu immediately. He took two bites and looked at Fang Wenhu and said, "uncle Liu knows what we're doing in Taoyuan village?"

Fang Wenhu's face was heavy. Just looking at his face, Hu Qingguo knew the answer without his answer.

Liu Dafu hurriedly said, "little Hu, don't blame the tiger. Don't worry, I Liu Dafu is not the kind of person who likes to chew his tongue. I don't know what to say or what not to say."

Hu Qingguo's skin laughed and his flesh didn't laugh. I couldn't help getting a little hairy when I saw it. But the expression on his face lasted only a few seconds. It changed like turning a book. He laughed twice. "Uncle Liu, we're eating in the same pot now. We're our own people. Since we're our own people, why do we say such things? Don't worry, I'll help you find a way to eliminate the case as soon as possible and let you leave here earlier. But before that, we still need Liu Shuduo's help."

Liu Dafu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "of course it should, it should."

Taoyuan village hasn't been to outsiders for a long time. Our arrival soon attracted the attention of the villagers. Besides, we made a noise in the village, even if we didn't want them to know. Just after dinner, several old men and women on crutches ran to see the excitement curiously. In order to send them away as soon as possible, Liu Dafu lied that we were traveling and might live in the village for a few days.

After seeing off the old lady and the old man, Hu Qingguo shouted Fu Hongshan in front of him. "Where is the ancient tomb? Are you sure?"

Fu Hongshan said, "we have been looking for a specific location for the past half a month. However, according to what uncle Liu said and what he got from the elderly in the village, we can only lock a large area. As for the location and entrance of the specific tomb, it is still unclear for the time being."

Hu Qingguo nodded and said, "is it far?"

"It's not far away, but the road is a little difficult. You have to cross the mountain." Fu Hongshan pointed to the mountain behind Liu Dafu's family.

Chen Qing said, "Friday pass didn't come. He didn't say anything to you?"

Fang Wenhu took the words and said, "that dog day said a hammer, so he followed us and went back that day."

"I've long seen this bastard unhappy, and I know he can't be trusted at all. If it weren't for..." Chen Qing stopped talking, Yu Guang glanced at Hu Qingguo, quickly changed the topic, and said: "however, since we can determine the large scope, it's not easy."

Fang Wenhu said, "you think I don't know. Don't pretend in front of me."

"I didn't say it was me." Chen Qing looked at Jiang Yilong and me and said: "Hey, hey, maybe I really want to introduce them to you again. Although Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiang are not old, do you know that they are both Taoist priests with real skills. They have great skills. Take Ma San's death last time. He turned into a ghost and wanted to come back for his life. If it weren't for them, many people wouldn't have died that night."

"I really didn't see this. It turned out that you did this." Fu Hongshan came up and patted Jiang Yilong on the shoulder.

Jiang Yilong said: "no flow, no flow."

"Why don't you go into the stream? It's strange that you can be invited here by little Hu himself." Fu Hongshan suddenly regained his mind and hurriedly said, "eh, Ma San is dead?"

Hu Qingguo's face sank and hurriedly said, "don't talk nonsense. It's still early now. Let's go to investigate the situation first."

I went to the car and took out the compass from my backpack. Under the leadership of Fang Wenhu, a group of eight people left Liu Dafu's house. According to Liu Dafu, the mountain behind his house is called Jiandao mountain, which is named because it looks like a sharp knife. It doesn't look high, but only one person came out for a small mountain, and the mountain is very steep, so , our speed is slower than expected.

It was not easy to climb the mountain and walk down the hillside. Bai Ling didn't say a word all the way. I was worried that she couldn't bear it. Looking at Bai Ling behind her, she said, "Ling Er, are you tired? Do you want to take a break?"

Bai Ling shook his head, smiled and said, "I'm not tired, it's just a little hot."

Her answer surprised me. I began to breathe heavily, and Bai Ling was out of breath. At this time, Hu Qingguo, who was walking in front, may have been a little overwhelmed and hurriedly said, "take a break and have a cigarette first."

"OK, OK," Fu Hongshan said to them.

"I can't hold it anymore. I'll take a pee first," Chen Qing said.

Fu Hongshan and others quickly sat down against a stone. Jiang Yilong and I also took the cigarette handed by Hu Qingguo. Just as we were smoking and chatting for two or three words, suddenly Chen Qing's voice came. "Hey, come and see, what's this?"

After walking for such a long time, everyone was a little tired, so he didn't even remember when he sat down. Fu Hongshan shouted at Chen Qing's convenience. Look at a hammer and come over to smoke. Chen Qing quickly said, come and see. Here's something.

As soon as he raised his voice, we also had a trace of interest. Hu Qingguo took the lead in getting up and walking towards Chen Qing. Seeing that he all stood up, we were naturally embarrassed to continue to rest. If something really happened, it would be bad. We hurried to follow him.

Chen Qingzheng was standing behind a tree. Hu Qingguo looked at him and said, "what are you calling?"

"I peed here just now. As soon as I turned around, I saw this." Chen Qing pointed behind him.

Along the direction he pointed, we saw something covered by a big red cloth behind him. It may have been too long, and the color of the red cloth has turned white.

"You just peed in front of it?" when Chen Qing heard this, Liu Dafu frowned and said nervously, "this is the mountain god of Jiandao mountain. If you pee in front of him, you will offend him. Go back quickly and take some paper money in my room to burn it for the mountain god, or the mountain god will blame you, which will be troublesome."
