Live Fortune Telling, Offline Ghost Hunting

There are many mountains and jungles in southern Xinjiang, and the weather is muggier and hotter.

After a day's journey, Luo Chen and the two arrived at a small town at dark. This small town was the only way to go to the village deep in the mountains. The two stopped in the small town to rest that night.

The town was very quiet at night, with no entertainment or excitement. After taking a shower, Luo Chen felt groggy and wanted to sleep due to the heat. However, the small hotel was too simple and did not have air conditioning. Luo Chen lay there for a long time without any sleep. Couldn't fall asleep.

Lu Xiaobai next door seemed to be the same. She was tortured by the sweltering heat and couldn't sleep. She knocked on the door and brought a few cans of cold beer.

"You can actually drink."

"I'm the same age as you, just a little younger."

Putting on a small camisole and shorts, Lu Xiaobai looked more like a cute loli girl. She sat on the edge of the bed, looked out the window at the darkness, and drank beer one after another.

She is used to traveling all over the country and has been to many remote rural areas. She has also experienced situations where it is difficult to fall asleep in places with harsh environments. She said that when this happens, she will buy some beer to fall asleep faster.

"Based on your experience, you should have made some money."

"When I started this business, my master was seriously ill. In order to pay for his medical expenses, I had to spend a lot of money, and now I'm starting to save money myself." After saying that, she asked Luo Chen, "You said you were a country boy?" Big, but I don’t think you look like a country boy at all.”

"This matter is very troublesome to explain."

In his last life, Luo Chen followed his master and lived a very prosperous life. Whether it was his eyes or his temperament, he was certainly not a poor boy, but in this life, Luo Chen was a country boy through and through.

Sometimes, Luo Chen himself feels confused and vague about his identity. Who should he live as?

After drinking a can of cold beer, Lu Xiaobai opened a second can. She didn't seem to be good at drinking, her face was already flushed from drinking, and she looked a bit cute.

Some people are born to look like dolls. Lu Xiaobai is obviously a girl who lives independently, but she has a young and white appearance that makes people very protective.

The two talked about tomorrow's itinerary. The place Luo Chen was going to was called Gumu Village, located in Baili Mountain. These were found in ancient books. The legend about the rebirth technique happened here.

Coincidentally, the name of Gumu Village was found. There is indeed such a place deep in southern Xinjiang, but the name of the mountain is different. There is no Baili Mountain in Southern Xinjiang. Gumu Village is located in Dieyun Mountain.

Just like Lu Xiaobai said, the legend has a lot of false elements. It may be a made-up story, and the place name is also very likely made up. If you look for it now, you will probably come up in vain.

"I heard that there are many century-old trees in the mountains of southern Xinjiang. If we don't find anything this time, we will take a few branches back. Maybe we can make something good."

"If you're in the mountains and the locals don't allow you to take things out, you'd better abide by their rules."

"What did you do when you came to Southern Xinjiang before?"

Lu Xiaobai said: "I didn't go to the mountains. I was in a town, helping a mystic master to deal with an insect master. The insect master was injured, and he was captured by the mystic master without me taking action."

"You have quite a lot of experience."

The night finally became cooler. After Lu Xiaobai drank the third can of beer, he seemed to be too drunk and fell asleep. Luo Chen tried to wake her up but found no response.

The conditions of the small hotel were very simple, with only one bed. She occupied a seat, and Luo Chen could only go to the next door. Then he found that there was no key to the next door. Lu Xiaobai must have the door key with him, but she was wearing a suspender belt and shorts. There were no trouser pockets. Where did she put her keys?

After searching around, he couldn't find it. After a long day's travel, Luo Chen himself was sleepy. The ground was dirty in a simple small hotel, and there was no way to make a floor bunk.

In desperation, Luo Chen could only squeeze together with Lu Xiaobai, close his eyes and fall asleep.

The next morning, the two of them were woken up by the muggy air.

After opening his eyes and seeing each other, Lu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, because she was sleeping in Luo Chen's arms at this time, and the sultry temperature made the two of them sweat profusely.

She pushed Luo Chen away awkwardly and found that her little sling was a little messy. Then she recalled the drinking last night and scratched her head in a daze, "Why didn't you send me back?"

"I didn't find the key."

"The key is on the table." She pointed to the plastic bag containing beer on the table. There was a key inside, hidden by several cans of beer.

Luo Chen opened his mouth and embarrassed himself, "I really didn't pay attention..."

"No, it's okay."

Lu Xiaobai blushed slightly, jumped out of bed and returned to his room. He straightened his vest in front of the mirror, wondering whether it was him who took the initiative to hug Luo Chen, or whether Luo Chen's hands were dishonest and hugged her. Already?

Forget it, don’t think about it.

Early in the morning, the two checked out of the hotel and set off from the town towards the depths of the mountains.

Gumu Village is the farthest village from the town. There is no direct bus. You have to take a bus to another village, and then take a tricycle from a fellow villager.

On the way, the two of them seemed to have attracted a lot of attention. There were not many outsiders in the remote countryside, and the two young people were dressed as if they were from big cities. Especially Lu Xiaobai, who had pink skin and wore a short skirt and black pants. Silk is not something you can see in the mountains at all.

Luo Chen asked her why she was dressed like this. Lu Xiaobai said that the weather in southern Xinjiang was sultry and it was uncomfortable to wear long pants, but if you exposed your thighs, you would have to face all kinds of bugs, so he prepared black stockings to protect your thighs.

After a bumpy morning, the two finally arrived at Gumu Village. It was the hottest time of the day. As soon as they landed, they were covered in sweat from the heat.

Lu Xiaobai's clothes were almost soaked, and Luo Chen regretted wearing long pants. They both underestimated the sweltering heat in the mountains.

Gumu Village is located deep in the mountains. There are no rows of houses, and there are not many places where villagers live. Looking around, the houses are located loosely everywhere.

This made Luo Chen a little excited, because the scene was very similar to what was described in the book, which said that the village was loose and not many people settled there.

There is a flat road at the entrance of the village. There are several old people sitting here drinking tea. They are all wearing simple country clothes. They almost all look at Luo Chen and the two of them. They look at them as outsiders. Their eyes are a little wary.

Luo Chen stepped forward and took the initiative to chat, saying that he was a story writer and came to the mountains to find out some anecdotes to use as writing materials. He also wanted to hear some legends from the old man.

This was a good opening. The old man put down his guard and said, "There are too many legends in our mountains."

"Really? Can you tell me a few?"

"There is a longevity spring in our mountains."

longevity?

Luo Chen felt that it might have something to do with him.
