Chapter 473 You must not offend him
After the program crew had finished their preparations, they prepared to set out into the mountains.
The itinerary for this trip was planned by several contestants and was arranged based on the clues provided by Wang Chengzu.
Tang Zhen was very cautious. He took the map to ask Ming Zhuo and Luo Wenxin for their opinions.
The mountains here are not completely uninhabited. There are still a few villages, but they are relatively remote and you have to cross a wide river.
The more troublesome thing is that it is now the dry season, and most of the riverbed is exposed. I am afraid that a long distance will have to be walked.
Tang Zhen chose one of the villages as a place to stay, so that he can return in time if he encounters any problems.
Ming Zhuo has no objection to such an arrangement.
Luo Wenxin added: "It's okay to walk, but this big river is a sand river, so everyone should pay attention to quicksand and take precautions."
Mingzhuo said casually: "What are you afraid of? Since there are people going in and out of the village, there must be a way. Don't underestimate the wisdom of the masses."
The program team found a guide from somewhere. Seeing so many people going into the mountains, he actively said that he could arrange a ferry, so that everyone don't worry, guaranteed to be able to cross the river.
He also said that there was actually an old bridge in the early years, but the flood destroyed the bridge, and later to enter the mountain, you can only take a boat.
He also said that after crossing the bridge, there will be a lot of water and quicksand on the exposed sand on the riverbed, so everyone should be careful, and he will call for people to help the program team carry the equipment and luggage.
The program crew also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as money can solve the problem, it is a small matter.
Luo Wenxin also sighed, saying that this place is indeed beautiful with clear water and simple folk customs.
Mingzhuo glanced at him, and Luo Wenxin immediately asked cautiously if he had said something wrong.
Qiao said, "Professor Luo, you may be more innocent. This person looks a little strange, but it is likely that he is here to cheat money."
Although he is not very good at cultivation, he has seen a lot of the world and can tell at a glance that this person has a flashing look in his eyes and has evil intentions.
Ming Zhuo glanced at him approvingly: "Not bad."
Qiao Song: "Advisor Ruan is not completely useless! Let me talk to him and see if he can give me a discount."
He estimated that he could save a lot of money for the program team and finally played a role. He
only hoped that Ming Zhuo would continue to let him cling to him because he was still useful.
Gu Xu walked over: "Zhuo Zhuo, I have asked someone to find out. There is no need to take a boat. There is a bridge on the river."
Qiao Song was about to perform well, but he was stunned when he heard this. Is this true? Can he still be useful?
Having said that, this Mr. Gu looked like someone who would only appear in the modern CBD business center, making strategic plans and winning battles in the mall; or attending dinners for the rich and powerful, drinking and spending a life of luxury, he didn't look like someone who would deal with all kinds of people.
Qiao Song felt pressured for some reason. Are the people around Consultant Ruan so powerful?
-
The news that Gu Xu had inquired about was of course true.
The floating bridge was a little farther than the location the guide said, and it could be seen after driving a few minutes forward.
The so-called bridge was built with several old boats, with wooden planks in the middle for people to pass.
The floating bridge almost runs through the entire sand river. The exposed areas of the river sand are connected by dilapidated and stranded boats. Not only can people walk on it, but they can also drive electric vehicles. It is very convenient.
Although the location here is a little off, the locals obviously know that there is such a floating bridge. There are quite a few pedestrians on the bridge.
The guide was exposed for lying, his face changed, and he said embarrassedly: "This bridge charges a fee."
Tang Zhen frowned and said: "Sorry, we don't need a guide now."
He had just asked about the so-called fee, which is five yuan per person to cross the bridge.
All of them, including the equipment, spent less than two hundred yuan.
Tang Zhen hated this kind of swindlers the most in his life. He immediately lost his temper and asked the program crew to pay the money quickly and ask the other party to leave.
The man wanted to make trouble, but no one from the program crew paid attention to him. He was even pushed by the people behind him because he blocked the way.
He looked at this group of outsiders stepping onto the floating bridge angrily and couldn't help but spit.
Do these people really think they are easy to bully? Stealing someone's money is like killing their parents. Just wait, sooner or later I will teach these people a lesson.
On the floating bridge, Gu Xu suddenly stopped and looked back.
He Wangyao was confused, "Ah Xu, what are you looking at?"
Ming Zhuo: "Ah Xu, you are curious about the smell of that person."
Gu Xu nodded: "Yes, I smell a strange fragrance on that person, he should also be a master."
He Wangyao was surprised: "Really? Isn't that just a gangster?"
It's completely impossible to tell. If he is a master, how could he do such a deceitful thing.
But the old man invited by Gu Xu sighed, "He is not a gangster. His mother is the famous Huang Gu. She is very good at fortune-telling. She lived deep in the mountains. Many people took a boat across the river just to ask her to tell their fortunes."
At that time, crossing the river was not as easy as it is now. Even in the dry season, the riverbed could not be exposed.
The river was surging and the ferry was not safe.
Even so, there were still many people who came to Huang Gu for fortune-telling.
Huang Gu's existence once made the village in the mountains full of mystery. The older generation warned that there were gods in the mountains and they should not be offended. If they violated the taboo, the whole family would be punished.
Later, the river level dropped year by year, and a large area of the riverbed was exposed. The people in the mountains had more and more contact with the outside world, and they no longer seemed so mysterious.
Later, Huang Gu died, and the Huang family completely disappeared from the public.
The eldest master: "You young people don't believe these, but the Huang family is very evil. You must not offend him, or you will be attacked and retaliated."
Li Wenhe said coldly: "He dares to attack and retaliate? Come on if you have the guts."
Pei Di: "Who is afraid of who? I'll beat him to death!"
The eldest master didn't expect that this group of young people were more irritable than each other, and he was stunned.
Gu Xu smiled: "Grandpa, don't worry. We are from the Xuanmen sect and are not afraid of these."
The old man shook his head: "We still have to be careful. Huang Gu was called a half-immortal in the past, and Huang Laopi has things and skills in his hands."
Gu Xu thanked the old man for his reminder again and again, and the old man said nothing more.
After crossing the floating bridge and walking further in, they gradually entered the mountains.
There are also some families gathered at the mountain pass, forming a small village. But the village they are going to is deeper in the mountains. According to the estimated distance, it will take at least two or three hours.
Fortunately, the journey across the river has been greatly shortened. According to the estimate, they should be able to reach the village at four or five in the afternoon.
Now that they have entered the mountain, they must stay overnight in the mountain village.
Ming Zhuo turned to Gu Xu and said, "Ah Xu, the conditions in the mountains are tough, I may have to inconvenience you."
Gu Xu shook his head and said softly, "I have to make this trip anyway, thank you for your hard work."
Li Wenhe: "The eldest sister didn't have a good life before, and she is not spoiled."
He was inexplicably angry. Why are these two people here feeling sorry for each other?
