Yinshan Ancient Tower (Introduction) Chapter 5 Starting Again

Chapter 5 Set out again

In the mountain villages of Guangxi, the dumb people in the villages are getting more and more ridiculous. But what Brother Chu said made me feel itchy. What exactly did he see in Menyou Ping's room? No matter how much I asked him, he didn't tell me. I asked him many times, but he was very stubborn. When I looked at his appearance, I felt that it was a bit strange and artificial, very weird. Finally, the guards came in and asked what was going on. At this point, I was afraid something would happen if I continued to "force" it, so I had to give up.

Pan Zi was quite depressed and said, why don't he find someone to teach him a lesson and make him spit it out. I said there was no need to do it so brilliantly. I thought he looked a little weak, maybe he didn't know it.

"Why?" Pan Zi asked.

"This is called bluffing. He may just know that there is a table in the room with a photo on it, but he doesn't know exactly what is in the photo. It's bluffing. This is what anyone who sells information and lends money will do." I said, "Of course. , he must have been there before he dared to say so definitely."

This is just my speculation. In fact, it is meaningless to think about it. Anyway, I still have to go there in person. Then you will naturally know whether what he said is too exaggerated.

After getting Banai's address from Brother Chu, the plan to go to Guangxi was basically confirmed.

Banai is a Yao village located in the hinterland of the Shiwandashan Mountains in Guangxi. It is called the Siberia of Guangxi. In the early years, it was a quite poor place. Judging from the address, I'm afraid it's not in Banai Village, but in the mountains surrounding the village.

Chen Pi Asi is an old-school person, and he may like to choose a place where it takes two days to get there even if the police are called. If something goes wrong, it won't matter if he goes to the mountains, but this is a hardship for us.

Fatty and Menyouping arrived in Hangzhou to meet up first. Fatty said that it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to meet with Nanman's Tangtou and get more supplies. Business is hard to do these days, and he has been without food for a long time. So we rested for a few days, then set off from Hangzhou, flew to Nanning, and then transferred to Shangsi by train.

This was not a back-and-forth fight. We didn’t bring anything with us. We were relaxed and joking along the way. There were six people sleeping in one carriage, two of them were working in other places and returning to Shangsi, and one was a tour guide who taught us how to type big characters. Cards, like mahjong, are easy to play and tight.

When you get close to Shangsi, it's all mountains. The train passes through the caves one by one. The mountains in the distance are shrouded in mist. The tour guide said that this is the hinterland of Shiwandashan.

The mountains in Guangxi are called Shiwandashan. They cover hundreds of kilometers of mountains and have a forest area of ​​more than 5 million acres. In the center is hundreds of thousands of acres of virgin jungle uninhabited land. There are mountains, lush forests, waterfalls and streams. It is said that it is A paradise in the cave is a gathering place for immortals. However, this terrain also makes transportation extremely inconvenient. We chose the train for this reason. People in the plain areas may vomit into the guts by car if they enter the hinterland of Guangxi.

I looked at the mountains with a very strange mood. In the past, seeing this kind of situation often meant that I would go deep into the mountains to find some secrets buried deep in them. However, this time, our destination is just a county in the mountains.

This feeling is very strange. I don’t know whether it is disappointment or joy. Looking at the blue granite peaks and dense forest in the distance, I always feel a little goosebumps.

When we arrived at Shangsi, we turned to Nanping and then entered Banai, where we took a car and walked for a while. It was midsummer, and the scenery along the way was so beautiful that it almost melted our hearts. The fat man and I were so dazzled that even the eyes of the stuffy oil bottle were filled with tears. Awesome.

In this way, I was delayed for a long time on the road. It was already approaching evening when I arrived in Banai. I had asked a few travel friends to get information and knew where I could stay in Yao Village. I asked along the way.

I found the place after asking a man named Agui.

Agui is in his forties. He has two daughters and a son. He is not very young. He owns two stilted wooden houses of the Yao people. One is for himself to live in and the other is used as a hotel. He is considered a capable person in the local area and many tourists are. He brought it from outside. He looked at Menyou Bottle. I thought he would recognize it, but I didn't expect him to have any reaction at all. The fat man told him our origins, and he spent a lot of money and settled in without much bargaining. Agui is quite accustomed to people like us, and he has the air of a farmhouse owner. He said that if we live here, he can help us with everything.

After a long journey, I couldn't think of anything I needed him to do. I just felt hungry, so I told him to finish dinner first.

Agui asked his two daughters to cook while he took us to settle down. I put down my luggage on the wooden floor, wiped my body with spring water, and sat on the wooden floor with high wooden legs. It was very cool and comfortable, and my whole body felt soft. Then I looked at the two slim Yao girls preparing food. Suddenly I felt that this was the life I wanted to live.

When the meal was not ready, Menyou Ping asked Agui where the address Brother Chu gave us was. He was a little anxious.

Agui said it was in the stockade, but on top of the stockade. The fat man told him not to worry: "Although it is your own house, if you let someone else take you there so late and you don't have the key, it will easily make people suspicious. We have a lot of time when we get here, so it doesn't hurt to go tomorrow." ."

I also agree, Menyouping nodded, I believe he definitely has this kind of patience.

Dinner was stewed meat and sweet wine. The Yao villagers also hunted, and the meat they ate was said to be squirrel meat. It felt strange, but the sweet wine was quite good and tasted sweet. The local water was good and the taste was very refreshing. The fat man drank too much and had a big tongue. He persuaded Agui that he was the big boss and he didn't want to leave. He asked Agui to betroth both his daughters to him and he would farm well.

I was afraid that he would offend others with his "irresponsible" words, so I hurriedly finished picking up the things and helped his two daughters clean up, leaving the fat man alone to enjoy the cool breeze and sober up.

While washing, I chatted with two little girls and asked about the situation in Yao Village. The two little girls told me that they used to be very poor here and they didn't even have enough food to eat. Later, when people came to travel, the situation got better. For example, their father brought people over to live at home, and the money he earned was enough to eat and drink. There is no need to go hunting in the mountains. They can buy things that others have brought, so that their family can feed several families.

I specifically asked about Chen Pi’s situation and asked them if there were any Vietnamese here.

They said there were Vietnamese, but they were not in Banai, they had to go into the mountains. There were more people here now, and they couldn't tell whether there were people from Changsha among them.

After cleaning up, I shook my hands and thought to myself that Chen Pi Ah Si was really careful and didn't even dare to stay in the village.

Come to think of it, they may have gone to Banai disguised as tourists. The Vietnamese went directly to the forest, and they met in the mountains to trade. In this case, I am afraid that there are much more things traded here than I thought. At least Chen Pi Ah Si attaches great importance to it. . These relationships may also be the connections he planted when he was fleeing in Guangxi.

I was thinking about walking to the dining hall and preparing to ask Agui for some fruit, when I saw a fat man smelling of alcohol staring at something on the wall on the side.

I thought he had drunk too much and was in a trance. Unexpectedly, when he saw me, he pulled me back and said to me: "Xiao Wu, come here."

I walked over and asked him what he was doing, and he gave me directions with his eyes. I saw a photo frame hanging on the wooden wall of the dining room with many photos inside. He pointed at one of the photos with his chin and said to me, "Do you want to see who this is?"
