Merchant of the Underworld

After leaving Heiyi Town, I stood on the mountain roadside for more than an hour before I stopped a passing Santana sedan.

There were several people crowded in the car. The driver stuck his head out of the car window unceremoniously and cursed at me at the top of his lungs: "Is there something wrong with your brain? Why are you blocking the road? If you want to die, don't die in my car." Front."

Before he could finish scolding me, I took out a hundred-dollar bill from my pocket and waved it in front of him: "Brother, let's take a ride."

These days money can make all the difference, and anything else is a waste.

Sure enough, when the driver saw the money, he smiled so much that he got closer to him: "Okay, okay, brother, where are you going?" As he said this, he took the money into his hand and looked at it carefully in the sun to confirm that it was a genuine note. Then he carefully stuffed it into his pocket.

"Which direction is your car going?" I asked.

The driver looked me over and said, "Let's go to Jingxian County ahead. My car doesn't have a license plate, so I only dare to run in the backcountry, not on the highway. If I were caught by the traffic police these days, I would have to sell my pants." No."

Depend on!

I didn't notice it even if he didn't tell me. Once he told me, I realized it was a black car, which made me feel like I was being cheated.

The driver observed my words and immediately understood what I was thinking, and said proudly: "Brother, this road is very remote. You may not be able to get a bus even if you wait for a day. Why don't I take you to Jingxian County and get a bus from Jingxian County?" That’s a lot.”

It looked like he definitely refused to refund the money.

I smiled helplessly, then opened the car door, but was shocked by the scene in front of me. There were six or seven people sitting in the narrow carriage, crowded like a stack of Arhats. There were even farmers holding old hens in their arms and preparing to sell them at the Jingxian market.

Seeing that I wanted to get in the car, a bearded man complained to the driver dissatisfiedly: "You kid, don't make money at the expense of your life! If another person is added to a broken car like yours, it will be overturned."

At this moment, he was carefully protecting a child beside him.

The child's face was pale and he kept covering his mouth and coughing. It looked like he had a disease like tuberculosis.

The driver snorted coldly: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you don't like sitting, get out." It was obvious that the people in this car lived in a place even more remote than Heiyi Town, so the only driver with a car was In order to gain their hope, no one dares to offend him, otherwise it will not be easy to go out in the future.

After hearing his roar, the strong man immediately withered, and other people in the car also criticized him: "You talk too much, and you still think that other people's cars are broken. If you can, buy a new one."

The driver shouted: "Everyone squeeze in and make room for the new guy."

Everyone squeezed in hard and finally made a small space for me. The strong man was worried that the crowd would crowd in on his son, so he tightly protected his son with his back.

As soon as the door closed, the car continued to drive forward.

Perhaps it was because the heavy rain for several days had stopped, and the air outside the car was extremely fresh. However, the smell in the car was a bit scary. In addition to the smell of human sweat, there was also the smell of poultry. It was simply unbearable!

Fortunately, the journey was smooth and we soon arrived in Jing County. After the car arrived in Jingxian County, everyone got off the bus in a swarm, and I stood at the street entrance feeling a little confused for a while. The driver came over and talked to me: "Brother, you look like you are not a local, are you? Are you here for tourism? Do you need me to introduce you to a car..."

It turns out that this guy saw that I was happy with my money, so he took me as a victim and was ready to kill me again.

I was about to refuse when the strong man who was carrying a child in the car suddenly came over and said, "Ergazi, which way are you going to Qiuchi County?"

The driver had a cigarette in his mouth and advised impatiently: "Uncle Niu, do you really want to go to that damn place? I think you'd better not bother. If there really was such a place in the world, it wouldn't be on the news long ago... …”

But Uncle Niu said stubbornly: "You have to look for it even if you can't find it! Otherwise our calf will die."

The driver sighed: "If you want to go to Qiuchi County, go east, but Uncle Niu, you'd better take your baby to see a doctor! Don't believe in any crooked ideas."

Uncle Niu nodded gratefully, then picked up the coughing child and walked eastward.

Looking at Uncle Niu's back, the driver spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth with disdain: "This old guy even lost his brain for the sake of his son. Is there any village in this world where there is no old man?"

Ageless Village?

The driver's words successfully caught my attention, and I asked curiously: "What is the Ageless Village?"

Probably because he wanted to make a fortune from me, the driver was extremely enthusiastic towards me: "The man just now is from our village. Because he raises cattle, we call him Uncle Niu. The other tuberculosis man is his son. His health was not good since he was born, and he has been relying on medicine for many years. Many people tried to persuade Uncle Niu to give up the child, but he refused life and death. Now the family is so poor that even selling the cow cannot pay for the medicine. He I don’t know where he heard the ghost legend, saying that there is a village near Qiuchi County. Drinking the water from the well of the village can extend your life, so he went to find the village with his doll on his back. Tell me, this is not it. Are you being stupid?"

Could it be that there is something sinister in this Immortal Village?

I nodded with interest. At this moment, I was worried about where I could go to accumulate some bad virtue. How about going to the Bulao Village to see it?

Seeing that I was silent, the driver came over and asked, "Brother, where are you going? Let me introduce you to a car. The price is absolutely fair..."

I made up my mind, smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "I'm going to... the Village of Immortality."

The driver was stunned and looked at me as if he were an idiot.

I walked east along the street without looking back. There was a long-distance bus parked at the end of the street. Perhaps it was not yet time to drive. The door was open and there were only a few passengers sitting on the seats.

Uncle Niu was among them. He put his consumptive son down safely, then took out the kettle and carefully fed his son water.

Seeing me getting in the car, Uncle Niu frowned in surprise and seemed a little wary!

I knew I wasn't welcome, so I didn't move forward and just sat in the back row. Soon it was noon, and I bought two sesame sesame pancakes and ate them randomly. Uncle Niu only bought one, tore it into small pieces and fed it to his son. He didn't eat anything.

This is father's love... I suddenly thought of Fanfan. I wonder if Fanfan is doing well in the Zhang family?

Around one o'clock in the afternoon, a fat man with a sinister face and a smell of alcohol staggered into the cab and shouted carelessly: "If you want to go to Qiuchi County, get on the bus quickly. If you delay any longer, it will get dark." ”

This is a very unworthy statement. He drinks and eats meat himself and blames us for wasting time?

At this time, Uncle Niu weakly left his seat, walked to the side of the fat driver and asked in a low voice: "Master, I want to ask, where should I get off if I want to go to Fu Lao Village?"

The fat driver looked at him inexplicably: "You can go after you die!"
