Chapter 87: The Stronghold at the Foot of Huangshan Mountain
Although the two cars did not take the highway, Hangzhou was not far from Xuanzhou, so they set off at noon! They had dinner at a country restaurant on the way, and around eight o'clock in the evening, the car had arrived at the foot of the famous Huangshan Mountain. Although it was called the foot of the mountain, the area of this famous mountain was actually quite large. Now Zhang Dadao and his friends came to a small town, and there was no route to the mountain nearby, and it was not very famous for the mountains and rivers. It was just a quiet and ordinary town.
Brother Long drove all the way and stopped in front of a small courtyard at the edge of the town. Zheng Wen also stopped the car and woke up Zhang Dadao who was sleeping soundly in the back, and then explained to him: "We are here. This is the warehouse of Brother Long's eldest brother-in-law's family. It is now temporarily rented to Brother Long. It is considered one of our bases."
"One? A cunning rabbit has three burrows?" The little fat man showed a little fear in his eyes. In his opinion, Brother Long and his gang were already extremely vicious criminals.
Zhang Dadao saw the fat boy's expression and squinted his eyes and said, "What are you thinking? Didn't they say they won't kill anyone?"
The fat boy moved under the car and said, "Who knows? Look at those novels about tomb raiders. There are people who kill people without blinking an eye."
Zhang Dadao was stunned, stroking his chin and recalling for a long time, but he really had no impression at all. He had never read any tomb-robbing novels, so naturally he knew nothing. Zheng Wen, who was at the door, heard what the two said and said, "Come down quickly! Why are you blaming the boss? And you killed people, are you stupid! How many years did you get for being caught for tomb-robbing? What crime is it for being caught for murder? It's not the kind of tomb-robbing that found a national treasure, why is it so cruel!"
"That's right!" Zhang Dadao got out of the car and nodded, saying to the fat man, "Listen to them. They know the law, break it in a civilized manner, and rob tombs in a harmonious manner! Why are you so cowardly? I've told you that I won't kill you, so just treat it as a trip! You can make some money by the way!"
Speaking of money, the stingy little fat man got angry again, staring at Zhang Dadao and said, "You're still talking about money! I make money from live streaming at home, and I can't make as much money as you guys do! If I make a mistake, I will be sentenced. I'm losing a lot!"
Zhang Dadao was also amused, and said, "Then you should be a good child and then you can just poison your father to death and inherit more property! What nonsense! Who told you to eavesdrop? It's too late to regret it now!"
Zhang Dadao was arguing with the little fat boy. The iron gate over there had already opened. Wu Datou waved at Zhang Dadao and the others: "Come over here quickly!"
A few people entered the courtyard. There was a tree in the middle of the courtyard. It looked like an ordinary farmyard. The house was a little special. One side looked like a farmhouse, and the other side looked like a warehouse. Brother Long explained to Zhang Dadao, "My brother-in-law used to sell chestnuts, but now he doesn't do it anymore. I have rented this house for a year. If I can get a good harvest this time, I will continue to rent it. Let's stay here first and discuss what to do next tomorrow!"
Zhang Dadao had no objection. He tilted his head and looked at the tree, saying, "What kind of tree is this?"
"Persimmon tree, it's a pity that I've never seen persimmons growing on it. What's the matter? Will planting this affect the feng shui?" Wu Datou came up to explain to Zhang Dadao.
Zhang Dadao shook his head and said, "I thought it was a peach tree. I was wondering if I could make a peach wood sword by chopping it down. Unfortunately, it's not!"
Wu Datou was speechless. He looked at Zhang Dadao's back as he entered the house and shook his head, saying, "This Taoist priest is really a scoundrel wherever he goes! He just came here and wanted to chop down trees. He doesn't even treat himself as an outsider!"
The fat guy beside him heard this and said happily, "Outsiders? What are you talking about? In Brother Tianshi's eyes, what you have is his. Why does he differentiate between you and me? Let me ask you something. Is there internet here? If there is, I can still live broadcast when I have nothing to do. Although it's not as good as the broadband at home, it should be fun, right?"
Wu Datou was happy, looking at the little fat boy and said: "What are you thinking? You haven't passed the probation period yet! You are not allowed to hold your mobile phone, and you dare to go online! You are so beautiful!" After Wu Datou finished speaking, he directly pulled the fat boy into the house. Although Brother Long said that Zhang Dadao should watch the fat boy, Zhang Dadao was so kind that he was lucky to be able to watch himself, so he naturally arranged for Wu Datou to help.
Zhang Dadao was not picky about places, he lived in villas and farmyards. He found a room to put his things, waited for Zheng Wen to bring the quilt, and fell asleep. Although he dozed off all the way in the car, Zhang Dadao's sleeping ability was still very good, and he slept until dawn. Although the temperature was quite low near the mountain , it did not affect his sleep.
The next day, when I got up and went to the yard, I saw Liuzi and Wu Datou arranging the tables and chairs. The others were nowhere to be seen. Liuzi saw Zhang Dadao and snorted and left. Wu Datou came up to him and said, "Brother Taoist priest, did you sleep well? I just bought breakfast 'Satang' and vegetable boxes from outside. They are only available here. The vegetable boxes are very good, and they are all wild vegetables. Would you like to bring some more later?"
Zhang Dadao was not particular about food. He had been spoiled by the chef of the Seventh Hospital for many years. Now he found everything fresh. He sat down and asked Wu Datou to bring him a portion. He drank a mouthful of the yellow soup first. He felt warm all over and asked, "You and Liuzi are the only ones awake? Where are the others?"
Before Wu Datou could answer, he saw the little fat boy stumbling over in a daze, muttering, "I smell it, why didn't you call me when you had food? This broken bed is hurting my bones!"
Zhang Dadao raised his hand and slapped the fat man's hand that was reaching for the food box in front of him, cursing, "Get lost! If you want to eat, take it yourself! With your body of flesh, how can it hurt your bones?"
The little fat man ignored Zhang Dadao and quickly made breakfast and started to eat. He ate a fist-sized vegetable box in one bite. Seeing that Wu Datou was worried that he didn't buy enough breakfast, Brother Long and Zheng Wen also came down after a while. After everyone finished breakfast, Brother Long spoke up: "Master, let's talk about business now. The most urgent thing now is to find a suitable bowl. This depends on you! Where do you think we should go next?"
Zhang Dadao was stunned. He held a half-eaten lunch box in his mouth and said with dead eyes, "Ask me? I'm not a tomb robber. You have to know roughly where the tomb is and when it happened. Then you need to get the topographic map of that time, so that I can find the dragon points! Do you know what it means to find the dragon points? Just relying on me, you think I'm choosing a tomb for you! I can only know where is a suitable place to bury someone. Who knows if there is a tomb underneath!"
The fat man interrupted and said, "How about you give me the Internet connection? I can find you any information you need!"
Zhang Dadao glanced at him, and the little fat man immediately shut up. Zheng Wen pondered for a while, whispered a few words to Brother Long, and when Brother Long nodded, he said, "Well, Taoist priest, listen to my opinion and see if it makes sense. If it does, let's do it."
Zhang Dadao nodded and said, "You can tell me what you want to say. But if you say something like the puzzle you did yesterday, I will curse you. I know the secret curse passed down by the Taoist ancestor that will curse you for giving birth to a son without an chrysanthemum!!"
