When the people in the town who were watching the incident saw that the original perpetrators were gone, they let Song Fang go.
Soon everyone went back to their homes, and by the time the one-eyed man went out to the street to stand guard, the town had returned to peace.
The direction to Luwangpo is at the end of the town. Cross the main street of the town and leave the road about one kilometer away from the town. Then climb up along a narrow path on a small hill.
After that, the mountains will become steeper and steeper, and you will have to climb countless mountains before you finally reach the vicinity of Luwangpo.
Not long after the one-eyed man left, Tian Yuzhu also left the town to meet him.
The two of them walked and stopped along the way.
Tian Yuzhu had learned wilderness tracking, and she was sure that someone had indeed passed through these hidden mountain roads just a few hours ago.
This shows that the direction of the one-eyed dragon's belt is correct.
But the old man was not very strong. He was exhausted after climbing the mountain for a while. He leaned against a big tree with a stick and gasped for breath.
"Hey, Mr. Gong, you know so much about antiques. Tell me, who was your apprentice and what did your ancestors do?"
"Let's not talk about antiques."
Tian Yuzhu looked down at the lush branches and leaves in the air with a refreshed look and said with a smile, "Uncle, I only have one thing to tell you. We must take good care of ourselves and live well. The days ahead will only get better and better."
"Oh, how good can it be? We can only muddle along." The one-eyed dragon waved his hand and sneered.
"It's true. In the future, every household will have a house, and every household will have a car. There will be endless rice, and meat, vegetables, and fruits will be readily available. No matter the season, you can have whatever you want to eat."
“…”
The one-eyed man seemed to have heard a fairy tale.
He was stunned for three full seconds, then gave a firm thumbs-up. "I'm impressed. You're really smart, girl. You know antiques and raw stones, and you can make up stories. I tell you, if you make up this story and turn it into a book, someone will definitely buy it."
Tian Yuzhu pursed her lips.
It's not a story, it's their future.
In the future, the country will gradually enter a prosperous era with all industries thriving.
"Okay, I don't want to listen to your stories anymore. They make me envious. But there's something I've always wanted to ask you. If you don't want to answer, that's fine. I'm just curious."
The one-eyed man waved his hand, shaking off the unrealistic hopes in his heart.
Tian Yuzhu said with a smile: "Ask!"
"Why did you look for someone with the surname Gong? Why did you pretend to have the surname Gong?"
The one-eyed man didn't expect to get an answer at all.
Who would have thought that Tian Yuzhu would readily agree to his request: "Because I have an old friend named Gong, his hometown is in Shuochi Town."
That face that was both awe-inspiring and amiable without being angry flashed through my mind.
In his previous life, Mr. Gong once told her that his hometown was in Shuochi Town.
When she first came to this small town, bought the small incense burner from the one-eyed man, and learned the name of the town from him, she was shocked.
I didn’t expect there would be such a coincidence in this life.
The one-eyed man frowned. "I can guarantee you're mistaken. I've lived in Shuochi Town my entire life. No, I can say my family has been here for generations, but I've never heard of anyone with the last name Gong."
"You know Shuochi Town is so small, how could I not know about it if it really existed?" The one-eyed dragon pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "It's true, there aren't any. Not to mention Shuochi Town, there aren't any even in the county. And I solemnly swear to you that within a hundred miles, wherever I've been, there's absolutely no one with the surname Gong."
That's strange!
Tian Yuzhu knew that her memory was correct, as Mr. Gong had said this at the time.
But what the one-eyed man said didn't sound false. He was a local and had more say.
Forget it, let’s not think about it for now.
Tian Yuzhu pulled herself back to her senses, determined not to be distracted by the things happening in front of her.
After giving some instructions to the One-Eyed Dragon and asking him to keep an eye out for it in the future, the two continued on their journey.
At the same time, in the forest a few kilometers away from them.
"Mayor, why don't we go back? It'll be dark in less than an hour!"
Secretary Xiaoyun was tired and anxious.
Qin Xu held a compass in his hand and looked at it intently. He was sweating profusely from walking, but his eyes remained firm. "We must move forward. If anything happens to those foreigners, the responsibility will be huge or small."
Before figuring out the origins of these foreigners, it is necessary to ensure their personal safety.
Otherwise, it would easily cause a major diplomatic incident, which was the consequence Qin Xu was most worried about.
The three security guards who followed all looked embarrassed.
They are all locals, so why don’t you come? Their job responsibilities are here.
The mayor had ordered that we had to come, but when we arrived in the forest we realized we had to walk so far, and the direction was actually straight to Luwangpo.
My goodness! The three guys were so scared that they broke out in cold sweats.
For the locals, Luwangpo is an insurmountable hurdle, and anyone who hears about it will feel their scalp tingling.
Now I can only quietly tell Secretary Yun: You must not go to Luwangpo, especially late at night.
Xiaoyun looked at the dense forests around him with uneasiness. Although he was not a local, he knew how dangerous these ordinary forests were just by looking at them, not to mention the Luwangpo as the people called it.
What’s more, it’s at night... Do they want to save their lives?
After several attempts of persuasion, Qin Xu remained very firm.
And this time, Qin Xu seemed to realize that his subordinates were afraid of that place. He stopped to look at the compass and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. We are staunch materialists and don't believe in those supernatural and nonsense stories. Those are just nonsense made up by others to scare people. Don't believe them."
What kind of person?
The three security guys looked at each other.
They didn't understand all that, but they knew one thing very well: the only way to save their lives was to convince the young mayor.
"Mayor, I heard people say there were wolves in the mountains near our town last night. They even heard them howling."
"That's right. This means there are wolves in the forest. What should we do if we encounter one late at night?"
"Yeah, why not go back now!"
Qin Xu said sternly, "Don't you all have a gunpowder gun? What are you afraid of?"
The three people were stunned.
Oh my god!
This guy is really a scholar from a big city. Does he think it is so easy to beat a wolf?
Even Xiaoyun rubbed his forehead and said, "Mayor, they're right. If there really is a pack of wolves, our three gunpowder rifles won't be able to stop them. Why don't we return to town first and ask the county police or the local army for help..."
"Then it's too late!"
Qin Xu shook his head. "Don't try to persuade me. I'm going to find those people anyway. And let me tell you, Xiaoyun, you don't have to kill a wolf. Just fire a shot and the other wolves will be scared away."
"Oh, right!" Qin Xu, who had just turned around, added, "I know going to Luwangpo is very dangerous. Anything can happen in the forest. Well, I won't force you. Those of you who want to go can go, and those who don't want to go, turn back now. I won't punish anyone for their work."
