I met Ning Haoyu on the morning of July 13, he apologized to me with a wicked smile, I directly stepped forward and punched him on the shoulder and said: You take my words as a deaf ear, if something happens, maybe I can't protect you.

Ning Haoyu said with an indifferent expression: Didn't you say that my life is not in danger, as long as I don't die. It doesn't matter if it's broken or not, I don't have much money right now anyway, but I can't be sorry for my uncle.

People who value faith and righteousness are generally tendons. In business, Ning Haoyu may play some clever and small tricks, but in terms of big friendship, he will definitely not.

That's why I think of him as a brother.

After the meeting, I didn't let Ning Haoyu drive, mainly because I was afraid that something would happen to him, so I asked him to go with us in our car, and the good news is that in the past few months, I have obtained a driver's license in the north, although my skills need to be improved. But it's no problem to replace Lin Sen occasionally and drive out of the car.

It's just that whenever I drive, Xu Ruohui is always worried, staring at me with her eyes full of unease.

This trip to Baigou is a village in the deep mountains, and I also checked the origin of the village, and there are two theories.

One said that there used to be a white bone mountain there, and people often dug up people's bones from the ditch on the mountain and the side of the mountain, so it was named Baigugou, and later the people in the village felt that it was ugly, and they all had the surname Bai, so they changed the name of Baigou.

Another said that this village only existed after the Battle of Jingyan, and according to legend, King Yan swept the north and slaughtered the entire people of Hebei, and this side of Baigugou is the place where King Yan hit and killed those northern villagers who resisted him.

Legend has it that after the army of King Yan carried out a massacre here, they evacuated without burying the corpses.

Later, a family surnamed Bai from Shanxi Province migrated here from the Loess Plateau, and was shocked by the white bones of a ravine here, but because of the fertile soil here. The Bai family still chose to live.

In order to be able to live here with peace of mind, the Bai family carried all the white bones of a ravine to a mountain and buried them, so that today's White Bone Mountain was born. It also became a mountain of bones.

The mountain that people say can dig up white bones is also that mountain.

However, according to the first legend of the formation of the White Bone Village, it is said that before the Battle of Jingjing, the villagers there were already able to dig up the white bones on the White Bone Mountain.

No matter which one you say, how evil this white ditch sounds.

Along the way, Ning Haoyu looked disappreciative, he said, there have been people living in Baigou for hundreds of years, if they are not normal people. I've been caught doing research a long time ago, even if it's that Bai Wanli, he's seen it several times, and they're all ordinary people, so I don't have to be nervous.

I shook my head and said: Ning Haoyu, you have heard me clearly, when you arrive in Baigou, no matter what you do, you have to be with me, remember not to agree to Bai Wanli's request indiscriminately, I always feel that he let you come this time to deceive, and the black gas of your Yintang is getting thicker and thicker.

Hearing me say this, Ning Haoyu recovered a little bit and nodded solemnly at me, but with Ning Haoyu's character, I estimated that if he didn't see any danger, he would forget all my instructions in a blink of an eye.

I'd better keep an eye on him.

Baigou is located in the deep mountains at the junction of Hebei and Shanxi, the road to Shanxi is bent and eighteen, like a long snake circling in the mountains, and we are drilling into the mountains along a straight line of this road, the more the road is drilled, the narrower the road is, and finally the cement road becomes a dirt road. 【. 】

Fortunately, when we were in a few villages outside, Bai Wanli arranged for relatives to meet us, so that we didn't have to go the wrong way, and the car drove inside for a while, and the car could only stop under a big locust tree outside the village, and this big locust tree also has a name, the baby cry tree, it is said that every year on July 14 or 15, this big locust tree will learn to cry babies, which is very scary.

Of course, in recent years, no one in the village has heard it, and the old people's statements before, the people in the village are all listening to legends, and they don't take it seriously at all, but there are a few older people in the village, but they have always emphasized that they have really heard it.

And why this old locust tree cries, and how much it cries, no one knows.

Our car parked under the big locust tree, although it was a hot summer, but I felt a cool air from behind, it was noon, there was no wind, but the branches of the big locust tree shook a few times out of thin air.

This big locust tree already has spiritual intelligence, but it is difficult to say whether it has become a spirit or not.

Originally, this white ditch, that white bone mountain made me feel very evil, and when I entered the village, I saw a big locust tree that I had never heard of, and I couldn't help but feel that this village was even more evil.

However, I met a few people on the street, I took a look at their faces, they were all ordinary people, and there was nothing abnormal in numerology and body.

The Bai family is a big family in Baigou, and everyone in the village knows that as soon as we inquire casually, someone will guide us to the way.

Bai Wanli's home is halfway up the hill, and he opened a large piece of land and built two three-story buildings, which is very magnificent.

When we arrived here, we found that in addition to Ning Haoyu, there were more than a dozen young people who came here in advance, but these young people Ning Haoyu could not be named, and he had not even seen some faces.

However, Ning Haoyu analyzed that those young people were all Bai Wanli's subordinates, and they were temporarily recruited by him to help here, because there were two of them that he had seen in the supermarket, but he couldn't name them.

When we came over, Ning Haoyu had already called Bai Wanli, so when we arrived at the door of the house, Bai Wanli personally came out to greet him, and I also saw him for the first time at this time.

A tall and thin man, in his forties and fifties, with an indescribable anger between his eyebrows, said with a smile on his face: Xiao Ning, you are finally here, why did you bring your friends?

Ning Haoyu hurriedly introduced a few of us.

After hearing this, Bai Wanli raised his eyebrows and smiled at me: Oh, you are the powerful master who rejected me before, master, you are really high-spirited.

I smiled and didn't say anything.

According to the hexagram of the Zhongfu hexagram, I am now with Ning Haoyu and merged into the main hexagram, we belong to the weak side, and we should remember not to have a quarrel with the guest.

So I'm just suppressing my emotions all the time.

Ning Haoyu gave me a round next to him and said: Uncle Bai, although I have debuted for a while in the first year of junior high school, I am still a newcomer in the industry, if there is anything wrong, I hope you have a lot of Haihan.

Bai Wanli waved his hand and said: That's it, that's it, since you are here to attend my father's birthday, then the visitors are guests, so naturally I won't drive them away, maybe we will have a chance to cooperate in the future.

Ning Haoyu hurriedly answered: That's it, everyone is angry and rich.

Then Bai Wanli led us to the courtyard with two buildings, this yard is very large, and tables and chairs have been placed under many pergolas in the courtyard, he said, this is for entertaining the people in the village, his father's birthday, he will invite the people in the village, it will be very lively.

As for the distinguished guests from the city, as well as some elders in the village, there are many rooms on the two buildings in Bai Wanli, and there is no problem with food and accommodation.

In the southeast corner of this courtyard, there is a makeshift shanty, Bai Wanli said that it is the place where tomorrow's birthday banquet is cooked and cooked, but I now see that there is already smoke rising there.

Bai Wanli explained that it is now steaming steamed buns, and there will be many people at the banquet tomorrow, and there will definitely be more steamed buns needed, and it will be too late to steam them again on the same day.

Bai Wanli led us to the location of the main building, but as soon as I entered the hall of that building, I was startled, and Ning Haoyu couldn't help but scream.

Because there is a coffin in the hall that has not yet been painted, but in the center of the coffin there is a lonely word for longevity.

In front of the word Shou, there is also an incense burner and a longevity peach.

Seeing our reaction, Bai Wanli said with a smile: No need to make a fuss, this is our custom in Baigou, people have passed their 70th birthday, and they should worship longevity at home, which indicates the meaning of longevity.

Shoucai?

I've heard this custom before, and in some places it's called a coffin because it's called a longevity.

I glanced at the coffin a few more times, it was very tightly sealed, as if someone had cast a spell, and I didn't even notice the breath inside the coffin.

I consciously asked Ah Wei in the backpack through Xiang Qi, and it also shook its head to indicate that it could not detect the situation inside.

There is something strange about this coffin.

When we walked inside, Ning Haoyu proposed to go to see the birthday star, Bai Wanli shook his head and smiled: My father has just recovered from a serious illness, it is estimated that he will take a nap, and he will see his old man tomorrow when he pays his birthday at the birthday banquet.

Ning Haoyu had no choice but to agree, and then asked Bai Wanli what he needed to help with today.

Bai Wanli said: I don't need your help today, it's all steamed buns, preparing tables and chairs, and leaving it to those young people to do, there will be more things tomorrow morning, and I will arrange work for you at that time, you probably have to get up early.

Ning Haoyu agreed.

Our room was on the second floor, and because we had added someone temporarily, he could only free up two more rooms for us, which is a total of three rooms for us.

But that's enough, Ning Haoyu is alone, Lin Sen and the little monk are alone, and Xu Ruohui and I are in the room.

The rooms were all allocated, and Bai Wanli went to get busy, leaving a few of us bored in this building.

When I went to Ning Haoyu's room to look for him, he was already lying on the bed watching TV.

When he saw me come in, he adjusted his voice and asked me: "First year of junior high school, do you think it's weird, I feel that the atmosphere around here is very normal, and I wonder if I really heard it wrong." Morphos-like acres.

I shook my head and said: You definitely heard it right, I just looked at Bai Wanli's parents' palace, his parents have passed away, and tomorrow is definitely not a birthday banquet.
