But the three of them didn't seem to be walking together, because two of them were wearing hiking boots and the other was very ordinary straw sandals.
The young man wearing straw sandals was only around 20 years old. He was wearing a blue ethnic minority jacket. There was a bruise on his fair and clean face, and his eyes were timid and pitiful.
But he carried all the packages in the team. If he walked slowly, he would be scolded by the other two people, just like a slave.
Lao Jiang obviously saw the clue. He gave Yin Ling'er and I a few words of advice. At this moment, the people in front actually noticed us.
They even took the initiative to say hello to us and came over.
The two men dragged the poor guy carrying the luggage to us, grinning their yellow teeth and saying, "What a coincidence, there haven't been any new faces on this road for a long time..."
I have to say that no one has written to me before, but the problem is that the news of the unearthed tomb in Guanghan County has attracted countless groups of tomb robbers.
How could no one come? This person is obviously trying to frame us.
Lao Jiang immediately raised his hand and asked for the names of the three of them.
The tall and burly man with long hair on his chest seems to be the talker among the three. He told us that his name is Zhao Erhu, and next to him is his third brother: Zheng Sanpao.
Zheng Sanpao is short and stocky, just like a walking fort, and he really lives up to his name.
"As for the other one, he's just a waste, not worth mentioning..." Zhao Erhu waved his hand, and the young man lowered his head very wisely, not daring to say a word.
What trash, they were clearly local people they had kidnapped to do hard labor.
Lao Jiang and I knew that they were local masters. Apart from their clothes, the strong earthy smell on their bodies could not be concealed.
Lao Jiang didn't intend to cause trouble, so he said half-truthfully: "Brothers, it seems that we are brothers on the road, so I won't hide them anymore! I heard that a lot of treasures have been unearthed in Guanghan County, so I thought of bringing my own Brothers and sisters come here to make a fortune.”
"Brother and sister? You are also an uncle, right?" Zhao Erhu looked at Yin Ling'er and I, obviously feeling that the generation gap between us and Lao Jiang was deep.
Lao Jiang gritted his teeth and explained: "I look old. I have been anxious about growing up since I was a child. In fact, I have just turned thirty this year."
"Brother, you look a bit unattractive..." Zheng Sanpao on the side showed a look of sympathy, and Lao Jiang was troubled and couldn't tell.
Lao Jiang cleared his throat: "According to the rules on the road, whoever makes the hole will own the things in the hole. If you make more holes, I won't be greedy. If you make few holes, I won't laugh. Anyway, I went to Sanxingdui. , Let’s each rely on our abilities, what do you think?”
Zheng Sanpao on the side applauded as soon as he heard this: "That's well said."
Zhao Erhu glared at him and looked at Lao Jiang with a smile on his face: "Looking at your accent, you came to Yanjing, right? Yanjing is 180,000 miles away from here, you and your family have to come to Guanghan County , not too far?”
"Isn't there no way to do it? My brother wants to get a wife, and my sister has to save a dowry. Nowadays, the war is raging. If we weren't forced to do so, who would be willing to make a living in the soil."
Lao Jiang lied without even frowning. Seeing that Zhao Erhu didn't respond, he clutched his chest with heartache: "Hey, 20%25 is enough? If we really dig something out, we will give you 20%25. After all, it's Foreigners should indeed be paid a toll."
"At least 30%25!" Zhao Erhu stretched out three fingers.
Lao Jiang gritted his teeth and agreed.
But this did not allow us to get rid of these three people. Zhao Erhu said that their destination was also Guanghan County and asked us to follow him all the way.
"I, Zhao Erhu, am a very loyal person. I don't give you my money for free. I can show you a way, which can be regarded as reciprocating my kindness."
This calculation is very loud, but the calculation will be done later anyway. Lao Jiang and I don't feel bad at all about the empty check.
We walked towards the village down the mountain.
On the way, I wanted to ask Zhao Erhu about the details of the village, but Zhao Erhu said it was nothing special. On the contrary, Zheng Sanpao couldn't keep his mouth shut, and Yin Ling'er smiled and caught everything he said.
That village is called Qingyi Village. Mulberry trees are planted here. Every household collects mulberries and raises silkworms. They earn money from selling silk and exchange oil, salt and other daily necessities with the outside world.
Although they are isolated from the world, they are self-sufficient and a very strange village.
In other villages, young people would have been unable to bear it and left long ago, but none of the young people here have left Qingyi Village.
"Anyway, the people there are very strange. My elder brother told us not to spend the night there." Zheng Sanpao reminded.
"Brother, do you still have a boss?" I rolled my eyes and continued to talk.
Zheng Sanpao didn't notice anything was wrong at all, and said innocently: "Yes, it was the elder brother who called us here this time. He has been in Guanghan for a long time..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Erhu suddenly kicked the poor guy, and his miserable scream immediately attracted Zheng Sanpao's attention.
Zhao Erhu hooked his fingers at Zheng Sanpao and called him over. Apparently he was afraid that this idiot would reveal some secrets.
It seems that their boss has arrived in Guanghan County and seems to be completing some ulterior secret...
But since it's a secret, why bring a slave as a tow truck? Shouldn’t the fewer people know the secret, the better?
I looked at the poor guy curiously and saw him lowering his head, touching the place where he was kicked and crying.
We continued on our way, getting closer and closer to Tsing Yi Village.
The first sight is verdant green, and the dense mulberry trees are overwhelming. Some of the mulberry trees even have a few snow-white silkworm babies lying on them, which is particularly conspicuous!
In front of it is a simple doorway with three words written crookedly on it: Tsing Yi Village.
Entering Tsing Yi Village, I found that the people here were all dressed in Tsing Yi and had green handkerchiefs on their heads. It seemed that they really had a strong attachment to the color blue.
What's even more strange is that there are many small roadside temples under the mulberry trees.
These small temples are dedicated to a man dressed in Tsing Yi, with three words engraved on it: Tsing Yi God.
This seems to be Zhaizi's belief.
Zheng Sanpao said before that people here don't like to deal with the outside world, and they always have indifferent expressions when they see outsiders. But today, for some unknown reason, their faces are filled with smiles. Apparently there is something happy and worth celebrating.
"Brother Pao, this is not quite right with what you said before." Yin Ling'er trotted to remind Zheng Sanpao.
Zheng Sanpao rubbed the back of his head with a strange look on his face. At this moment, the poor man who had been silent for a long time suddenly raised his head: "It's time for the annual Qingqiang sacrifice. If you're not in a hurry, some friends can come and take a look. , there will be..."
"It's your turn to interrupt!" Zhao Erhu whipped the poor guy on the arm, and the poor guy immediately didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing a bloody streak on his snow-white skin, Yin Ling'er and I couldn't bear it. We couldn't help but stepped forward to speak for him. However, the poor guy cowered and shook his head towards us, obviously afraid that he would be beaten more. ruthless.
At this moment, a strange melody sounded, and Lao Jiang glanced at me: "Go over and have a look!"
