The years of reselling the haunted house

Sanjin chuckled: "What kind of money do you make? There are not many big spenders like you. This place is okay in peak season, but almost no one comes in this off-season. Most of the people who come here go to Jiayuguan in front. I haven't seen it for many days. It’s opened, it’s been more than half a month since the last time it opened, oh…” Sanjin said while shaking his head.

More than half a month?

I was taken aback when I heard it, calculated the time, and asked Sanjin, "Sanjin, do you remember who was the receptionist when you opened the store last time?"

Sanjin said: "Then why don't you remember? There were also seven or eight visitors last time, but they looked very mysterious. The wind was very strong that day, and they all covered their faces with thick scarves. They are not as generous as you. I went to Chengguan to collect the money, and they only gave me 100 yuan in total. Of course I didn’t do it, so I started arguing with them. Among them, there was a big man with a big waist, who was very arrogant, grabbed my clothes and threw me out Yes. When I went back to find people, they left and did not spend the night here. But evil people have their own trials, they are not kind to me, and their fate will not be good..."

Sanjin started chattering endlessly, but the speaker had no intention of listening and the listener was interested, so the few of us communicated with each other while listening.

Seven or eight people, the number is about the same, and the time can be met.

Could those people be Ma Di and others whom we have traveled so far to find?

I believe that each of us thinks this way in our hearts, and I am a little excited.If this is the case, then we can be regarded as having obtained such precious clues just after we arrived.As long as you follow this clue, it shouldn't be difficult to find Ma Di and the others.

After all, if a few strangers come to this place, there will still be a lot of attention.

Liang Yue then asked: "Sanjin, do you remember what those people looked like?"

Sanjin shook his head: "Then I don't know. As I said just now, there was a lot of wind and sand that day. Not only them, but we locals also had to cover our faces with scarves when we went out. They covered their faces tightly. I How can I see what they look like. Besides, I just collect money, and it doesn't matter what they look like."

At this time, the second uncle who weighed three catties brought up eight bowls of noodles on a large tray.When the noodles came, we were all surprised. The big bowls were all big bowls, full of noodles, and the second uncle who weighed three catties of noodles in these eight bowls even lifted them out with one hand. .

This strength is enough to surprise us, and now even the sea wolf looked into his eyes with a hint of admiration.

The second uncle who is three catties is a simple and honest person at first glance. He saw that we were all staring at him, and he smiled embarrassedly: "Hey, the people here are nothing but strong. I can still do this side , are all real ingredients, a few of you can have a taste."

The third uncle asked, "How much is a bowl of your noodles?"

Before Sanjin's second uncle could speak, Sanjin said first, "It's not expensive, it's 20 yuan a bowl."

As a result, when Sanjin's second uncle heard this, he cursed at Sanjin: "You kid is asking for a price again, and the reputation of my small shop has been ruined by you."

Then, he said to us again: "I'm sorry, this noodle is not that expensive, eight yuan a bowl. The seven of you are 56 yuan, and you don't need to pay for this kid's noodle. He has to be here every day. Eat and drink bowls of noodles for free."

After finishing speaking, Sanjin's second uncle glared at Sanjin and went into the back kitchen.

Sanjin stuck out his tongue at us embarrassingly, and said, "Everyone, try it, my second uncle's craftsmanship is really good."

Saying that, Sanjin picked up the chopsticks, lowered his head, and began to eat the noodles with the chopsticks.

Chapter 1373

Good guy, Sanjin's little head was almost stuffed into the big bowl.I heard bald, bald, and after a while, half a bowl of noodles went into a three-jin stomach.

This boy Sanjin is eccentric. Although he likes money from black people, his personality is not very annoying.When everyone watched him eat noodles, they were also delighted.

We each picked up our chopsticks to eat the noodles. Unexpectedly, the noodles turned out to be really special, with local characteristics.Compared with Lao Guantou's Sanyang stewed noodles, this noodle lacks a little strong fragrance, but it is more chewy, and there is a faint fragrance in the mouth after eating.

We haven't eaten half of the noodles, and the three-jin bowl of noodles has bottomed out.

Liang Yue looked at the empty bowl and asked curiously: "Sanjin, you can eat so much, why are you still so thin?"

Sanjin is also a chatterbox. When Liang Yue asked, he smiled and said, "Do you know why I am called Sanjin? That is because when my mother gave birth to me, my weight was exactly three catties and three ounces."

I was taken aback: "Three catties and three taels? Are you still a human? Not much bigger than a newborn kitten?"

Sanjin nodded: "Isn't it? Everyone said I couldn't live. At that time, we didn't have any medical conditions here, but I survived hard. You say my life is hard, and I have been eating a lot since I was a child." I am big, but I can’t get fat no matter what I eat. They all say that I am a reincarnation of a starving ghost. Some say that the starving ghost has possessed me, and everything I eat is absorbed by him. I See this is Daoist, you must understand, you said there is no real ghost in my body, right?"

Sanjin looked at Uncle San while talking.Apparently, the tattered Taoist robe worn by the third uncle caught San Jin's attention.

The third uncle was eating noodles, and when he heard San Jin's question, he replied angrily: "Then you have to be careful. It is said that this starving ghost will eat your body in the end."

When San Jin heard it, he shivered in fright: "Ah... no way..."

Uncle San's words were nonsense, but San Jin's face turned pale with fright.It seems that this kid is not a master who is not afraid of nothing, he is afraid of this.

Liang Yue waved her hand: "This Daoist is scaring you. How can you be a starving ghost? You must not be able to digest and absorb well, so you eat a lot and don't get fat."

"Oh..." Sanjin relaxed after being comforted by Liang Yue.

Liang Yue asked again: "San Jin, do you know where the seven or eight people from last time went?"

Sanjin waved his hand: "They also drove two cars and headed west."

"West side? What's there on the west side? Once they went, didn't they come back?"

Sanjin pouted: "Come back? I'm afraid it will be difficult..."

When the few of us heard it, it was obvious that there was something in San Jin's words. Liang Yue hurriedly asked: "It's difficult for them to come back? Why do you say that?"

Sanjin was about to speak when he heard Sanjin's second uncle yelling, "Sanjin, can you calm down for a while?"

Sanjin sealed his mouth in time and waved his hand at us: "Nothing? I'm just talking nonsense. When you've finished eating, find my second uncle, and he will arrange rooms for you. I have completed this task, and I it's time to go."

Saying that, Sanjin got up and was about to leave.

We all know that Sanjin is a local expert, and he should know many things about this place.Moreover, nine out of ten of those seven or eight people were Ma Di and the others. If they wanted to find them now, they had to ask this young man named Sanjin for help.

I also found that they seem to be very taboo to mention that place to the west.

Liang Yue hurriedly stopped Sanjin and said, "Sanjin, don't you still work as a tour guide part-time? We will stay here for a few more days, so why not hire you as our tour guide?"

"Hire me as a tour guide?" Sanjin's eyes lit up, and he realized again, "As long as you don't go to that place, I can be your tour guide in other places."

Liang Yue asked, "Where is that place you mentioned? Why does it sound so mysterious?"

"It's more than mysterious? That place..." Sanjin hesitated to speak, and shook his head: "It's better for me to say as little as possible."

The more this is the case with Sanjin, the more curious we are.But no matter how we ask, San Jin is determined this time and won't talk about it anymore.

"If you have nothing else to do, pay for my tour guide this time, and we'll settle the bill." Sanjin said, reaching out his hand towards us.

Liang Yue nodded: "No problem. You arrange the room for us first, and we will pay you when we go back to the room."

Sanjin nodded, ran to his second uncle, and prepared several rooms for us, all on the second floor.

Sanjin led us to a room on the second floor. We knew that Liang Yue would definitely plan on Sanjin, so we all went into the same room.

Liang Yue winked at Sea Wolf, Sea Wolf understood and went over to close the door.

Sanjin was about to leave when he found that the sea wolf had blocked the door. He noticed something was wrong and asked cautiously, "You...what are you going to do?"

Sanjin found that something was wrong, so he rushed out the door.

As a result, the door was blocked tightly by the sea wolf, and it was impossible to rush out with a three-jin body.

Sanjin pointed at us, and said in a trembling voice, "You...don't mess around, this is my territory, and my second uncle is downstairs, as long as I shout out, you can't eat and walk around."

I concluded that Sanjin must have often dealt with people from all over the world, and from his mouth, he often heard some words that were not suitable for this place.

Liang Yue hurriedly said: "Sanjin, don't get me wrong, we have no other intentions. We just want to hire you as a tour guide for us for a few days. You can also be a guide, and the price is negotiable."

When Sanjin heard this, he hurriedly waved his hands: "It's not a matter of money or not. Besides, I have to stay here to charge. How can I take you to play when I have time?"

Liang Yue waved at Sea Wolf.

The sea wolf understood, took out a wad of money from the backpack, and threw it on the ground.

That pile of money is 1 yuan.

Throwing the money at Sanjin's feet, he glanced at it, rolled his eyes, and said, "Don't think that I, Sanjin, have never seen money. Life is more important than money..."

Before Sanjin finished speaking, Liang Yue coughed, and Hailang took out another wad of money and threw it on the ground.

San Jin glanced at him with an unnatural expression: "What are you doing? I won't do it if I say no..."

"Sea wolf..."

With a snap, another wad of money was thrown on the ground.

Now Sanjin was a little dazed, he stared at the three wads of money on the ground, his mouth was open, he was speechless.

Liang Yue picked up the three wads of money and said, "Tell you the truth. We are here to find the seven or eight people you met last time. They are all our friends and have been missing for a long time. As long as you If you can lead us to find them, the money is yours."

Chapter 1374 The money can make a ghost run the mill

Sanjin’s gaze never left the three wads of money, and he swallowed heavily this time, but he hesitated and said, “But, I don’t know where they went. I only saw them go to the west.” The geographical environment over there is more complicated, and our people here don't go there easily..."

Liang Yue waved her hand: "You just need to take us to find them. If you can't find them, the money is yours. If you finally find them, I will add another 5 yuan to you, and I will give you a total of [-] yuan. Look at this Is the deal a good deal?"

Liang Yue is really rich and powerful, not to mention three catties, I am tempted to hear this price.One move of the mouth is 5 yuan.And even if you can't find it, you can get 3 yuan.

Sure enough, Sanjin was moved this time, his eyes straightened, he nodded and said, "Actually, sometimes, life is not necessarily more important than money."

Liang Yue smiled: "Life is definitely more important than money. But if you follow us, nothing will happen. You have life to earn money and life to spend it."

Sanjin nodded heavily: "That's good. I promise, my life is hard for Sanjin, I didn't die when I was born, and I'm sure nothing will happen this time."

Liang Yue handed over 1 yuan to Sanjin, and the other [-] yuan to Hailang.

Sanjin was taken aback: "Didn't we agree that it would be [-]?"

Liang Yue said: "The ten thousand is paid to you in advance. The money can only be paid to you after the matter is completed. We also have to be on guard. What if you run away halfway, what should we do?"

Sanjin said sternly: "It's true that Sanjin likes money, but I always ask for it, and I have never lied to anyone. But your precautions are justified, so I trust you. I hope you don't break your promise."

Sanjin carefully kept the 1 yuan.

I thought to myself, it seems that money can turn ghosts around.I don't know what the place west of here is, which makes Sanjin and the locals so afraid.

Now it seems that even Liang Yue suspects that Ma Di and the others went to that place.

Sure enough, Liang Yue asked San Jin: "Where do you think that group of people are most likely to go?"

Sanjin said: "When I was outside just now, I didn't say it clearly. Now that we have this relationship, I might as well tell you clearly. Judging from the route and direction they traveled that day, they must have gone to the Devil's Forest The people who went to that place were close to death. Our place is the only place nearby where they can stay. If they come out of it, they will definitely pass by here again. But they have never shown up. I guess they are in bad luck. "

It was the first time we heard the name of that place from Sanjin.

Devil's Forest.

The name is quite strange at first glance, and it also has some mysterious characteristics of the West.

I asked curiously: "Sanjin, isn't this the Gobi Desert? Why is there still a forest? Where did this devil come from?"

Sanjin waved his hand: "Actually, this forest is not the forest you imagined, it's just a name. There is also a legend about the origin of that place. It is said that it was still in the Ming Dynasty. One day, there was a heavy rain here. , but there were thunder and lightning, and strong winds. The weather was very gloomy, and the day was as dark as the sky. After a violent storm, people suddenly found that there were many stones in the Devil's Forest. Those stones had strange shapes It's like... just like tombstones. It's just much taller than the tombstones. Those stone tablets stand there, forming a forest of stones. In addition, those stone tablets are full of strange symbols, people can't understand What is it. So there is a legend that it was a warning from God, and a restricted area was circled there, and the idlers were not allowed to enter. Those strange symbols are astronomy. Later, it became more and more popular, and we all call it here. It's the Devil's Forest."

At this time, the sea wolf said: "Isn't it just a forest of stones? It's just a trick to scare children by making you talk so mysteriously. It's just a forest of devils."

Sanjin glanced at the sea wolf, snorted and said, "If you found me, you found the right person. To tell you the truth, I am the only one who went in standing up and came out standing up. I have also gone in all these years. There are a lot of people, but no one can come out alive. The group of people you are looking for are not as smart as you. If they ask me to lead the way, they may still have a chance. Now it seems that they are eight out of ten Ninth, it’s explained inside.”

Liang Yue asked, "Have you ever entered that devil's forest?"

Sanjin nodded, patted his chest, and said proudly: "Of course. I went in when I was five years old. I played in it a lot, and from day to night, I walked out safely. Except me, go in I had three companions, but they were not so lucky. They came out with me, but died of illness within a few days. Later, many people, including people from other places, brought a lot of supplies just like you Come to explore, or retreat in spite of difficulties, or never come out after entering."

Liang Yue asked again: "Then what is so scary about this devil's forest? Is it because the routes inside are complicated and it's easy to get lost? Or is there something inside that can attack people?"

"This...it's hard to say, it's hard to say..." Sanjin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

The sea wolf said angrily: "Girl, don't ask him. He went in when he was five years old. He was still a kid at that time. What can he remember? Just ignore him. If you are sure we want to go in, we will go in tomorrow." Just drive into the Devil's Forest. My sea wolf wants to see what's in there. Even if there is a real devil in it, my sea wolf can make him skin. Besides, it's up to this kid to say it with his mouth. It’s hard to say whether he’s been in the Devil’s Forest or not. Didn’t you see how frightened he was when he mentioned the Devil’s Forest?”

"Who...who is intimidated? Who...who said that I have never been to the Devil's Forest? If you don't believe me, you can ask my second uncle, everyone here knows that I have been into the Devil's Forest. Do you believe it or not."

Sanjin argued with the sea wolf with his neck stuck, as if doubting whether he had been to the Devil's Forest was an insult to him.

But Sanjin said to Liang Yue again: "But what he said is right. I went there when I was five years old. I really can't remember what it looked like inside. Now the Devil's Forest is a restricted area here, let alone It went in, but no one dared to get close to it."

"Hmph, scare-mongering and mystifying..."

The sea wolf snorted coldly, and simply lay down on the bed and went to sleep.

Chapter 1375 The map in the book

Sanjin glanced at Hailang and shook his head: "Those who haven't experienced it personally will think I am alarmist. I am afraid that it will be too late when I understand it. Although you paid me so much money, if you regret it now , I will return the money to you. To be honest, if I didn’t see that the money given is enough, I wouldn’t go with you. I’m also afraid of the money. ..."

Liang Yue smiled and said: "Three catties. Don't worry, we are not ordinary people. We are all possessing special skills, and nothing will happen to us. Just take us there, as I said, I guarantee the money You can earn and you can spend."

Sanjin nodded: "I hope. But don't tell my second uncle about this. If he knows, he won't let me go. When you leave tomorrow, I'll just follow you in the car."

After Sanjin finished speaking, he left the room.

Hailang lay on the bed and said to Liang Yue: "Girl, aren't you afraid that he won't come back after taking the money?"

Liang Yue shook her head: "I can see that the temptation of 5 yuan is greater than his fear of that devil forest. He will come back just for the money."

Seawolf asked: "He hasn't been there recently. Does it make sense to hire him for so much money?"

Liang Yue nodded: "Sanjin is a local after all, and although this person loves money, he is a smart ghost. He is familiar with the local climate and geography, so maybe hiring him is not worth the 5 yuan. But even if he goes to that place Afterwards, if he can reflect his value a bit, the money is not wasted. We are all newcomers, so let’s use money to buy peace of mind. Do you all have any thoughts about entering the Devil’s Forest tomorrow?”

As he spoke, Liang Yue scanned us around.

Qian Qingfeng expressed his position first: "Listen to the girl."
