Chapter 255
The question Chen Ziyan was thinking about was whether to let the person in front of him go.
Through his age and occupation, he had concluded that this person's identity should be the boatman who later carried the Wu family members into the Water Bandit Cave.
If the person who appeared in front of Chen Ziyan at this time was the future boatman cutting the path and blocking the way, then he would naturally send him back to the west without hesitation, which would be regarded as a good person and a good deed.
But now he is not sure whether the young boatman in front of him has done those things.
And just when Chen Ziyan was hesitating, the boatman on the ground had already recovered, and after sneaking a glance at a few people, he wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
He grew up by this river since he was a child, so it goes without saying that he is good at water, plus he knows the secret of the corpse cave not far away, so he is sure that as long as he enters, he will be able to escape smoothly.
But as soon as he got up, Chen Ziyan in front of him kicked him, sweeping across his face, causing him to fall to the ground again.
It may be because of the boatman's actions, Chen Ziyan, who has a keen sense of smell, immediately smelled a rancid smell.
He was no stranger to this smell, it was the smell of a corpse.
This changed the way he looked at the boatman, and all the hesitation in his heart was eliminated at this moment.
This smell reminded him that the person in front of him was eating corpses since he was a child, and in his eyes, human life was probably worthless. Even if he hadn't thought of killing outsiders, he would get there sooner or later.
Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed in Chen Ziyan's eyes.
In this case, he will eliminate harm for the people in advance!
Chen Ziyan never thought of himself as a good person, but he would never refuse to do something good.
After figuring this out in his heart, Chen Ziyan made a decision.
He didn't do it himself, but took out the little fairy who was nestled in his arms, and communicated with them in their way.
The little fairy immediately understood what Chen Ziyan meant, and looked at the boatman with those strange eyes.
After the boatman was knocked down again, although he didn't run away again, he kept watching the people secretly, so he soon met the little fairy's eyes.
After seeing the agility in the boatman's eyes slowly turn into dullness, Chen Ziyan knew that his goal had been achieved.
After touching the head of the little fairy in his arms, he turned to look at the other people beside him: "Let's go, time is running out, let's stop wasting it here."
Hu Bayi and the others have been silent since Chen Ziyan's interrogation, and have been watching quietly.
Hearing what Chen Ziyan said at this time, although he was a little curious in his heart, he obediently followed him into the car.
The car was started again and headed towards the direction the boatman pointed just now.
After leaving a certain distance, Hu Bayi couldn't help asking: "Master Chen, what happened just now?"
He felt as if he understood something, but he didn't fully understand it.
Chen Ziyan didn't hide anything, and said directly: "That person just had a problem."
"The first time I saw that grandson, I thought he was not a good person." Wang Kaixuan agreed with his face, and then asked: "But Mr. Chen, what's wrong with that man?"
"There is obviously a way into the mountain here, but he is still ferrying there. What do you think is wrong with him?" Chen Ziyan asked back.
Ding Sitian said at this time: "If the next road is all mountain roads, then it is more appropriate to transport by water."
She wasn't trying to defend that person, but simply raised a possibility.
After so many years of tempering, Ding Sitian is not a soft-hearted person.
Hu Bayi felt that this made sense: "If this is the case, then we may not be able to drive the car in."
Chen Ziyan had recalled some relevant memories at this time, and said, "Do you still remember Ganggang Yingzi?"
"Ganggang Yingzi?" Wang Kaixuan suddenly said: "Master Chen, you mean that there is a road that can be opened to traffic?"
Chen Ziyan nodded: "Last night, I asked someone to inquire. The archaeological team has found some things here, so there must be a road that can be opened to traffic."
That's why, when he saw the boatman, he knew there was still a way.
"And that guy is not a good person." Chen Ziyan continued.
"Master Chen, how do you say that?" This was asked by Da Jinya.
Although the man looked really weird just now, he wasn't a good man but he couldn't tell from his appearance.
"That man grew up eating solid meat." Chen Ziyan gave the answer quietly.
Upon hearing his words, both Hu Bayi and Da Jinya were taken aback, and Da Jinya couldn't help asking: "Impossible, there really are such people these days?"
"It's also the first time I've seen you." Chen Ziyan replied.
Wang Kaixuan didn't understand what this meant, so he asked, "What is this solid meat?"
Hu Bayi explained to him: "Solid meat is the flesh of a corpse, you understand."
"This fucking is really disgusting!" Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but swear when he heard the answer.
He boasted that he had some knowledge, but he really didn't expect to encounter such a thing in reality.
Ding Sitian didn't speak any more, but this answer made her complexion uneasy, after all, just thinking about this kind of thing would make her stomach churn.
Chen Ziyan didn't say anything more, even he didn't want to discuss this kind of topic too much.
And at this moment, a flat dirt road slowly appeared in front of everyone.
This is a road up the mountain, and they knew without thinking that it was the one they were looking for.
And when Chen Ziyan and the others were heading towards their destination, the boatman left behind by them suddenly turned over from the ground.
He ran towards the river as if he was fleeing for his life, and plunged directly into it.
puff-
With the sound of falling water, ripples appeared on the ground, but the original calm was soon restored.
But the boatman who had already entered the water never surfaced again.
But now, except for Chen Ziyan and Xiao Xiangu, no one knows the final fate of this boatman.
Chen Ziyan would not tell other people carelessly, after all, this place is not like a desert, some things are done in secret, but there is no need to publicize them.
As the car continued to move forward, when they turned over the mountain along this dirt road, they saw a huge village.
The vehicle slowly drove into the village, and Wang Kaixuan immediately saw a small hotel at the entrance of the village.
This hotel looks like it was remodeled from the original farmyard, but the area is not small.
Wang Kaixuan looked at the signboard of the hotel in amazement: "I didn't expect that there would be a hotel in this place, but it's a good thing, otherwise we might have to eat compressed biscuits."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Ziyan and suggested, "Master Chen, it's been so long since you've been here, should we have something to eat?"
Wang Kaixuan is the fattest one in the team, and also the fastest hungry one.
I didn't feel it when I didn't see the hotel, but now I saw a place to eat, I felt a little overwhelmed in an instant.
Chen Ziyan nodded: "It's time to eat something."
Then, he parked the car at the door of the hotel.
If there is no accident, as long as they find a place, they will dig a hole overnight, even if they don't come across this place, they need to make some supplements.
"Come on!" Wang Kaixuan was always positive about eating, and he was the first to run off before the car turned off.
By the time Chen Ziyan and the others walked in, this guy had already ordered three or four hard dishes.
Chen Ziyan walked into the lobby of the hotel and observed the environment first.
He found that the hotel was small and well-equipped, and the first floor was obviously decorated according to the template of a restaurant, with a few square tables.
There is a woman in her 30s in the store, who seems to be the proprietress, and is remembering the fat man's order.
Wang Kaixuan saw them coming in, and greeted them: "Come and have a look, the food in this restaurant is quite comprehensive."
Several people walked over to look at the menu, but no one was interested in choosing. In the end, it was Wang Kaixuan who ordered a few more dishes to finish the matter.
When the proprietress went to the back kitchen to inform, Hu Bayi asked the doubts in his heart: "Do you think this place is a bit strange?"
"Strange? Where is it strange?" Wang Kaixuan asked subconsciously as he was full of food and didn't understand what Hu Bayi meant.
Hu Ba looked around and said, "This is in the mountains. Not to mention that there are no people around, but they should all be residents here. Isn't it strange to open a hotel here?"
"Maybe it's because of that dirt road." Da Jinya thought for a while and analyzed: "To get rich, build the road first. If the road is already there, wealth will follow. The assets in this mountain forest are rich, plus The road conditions are also open to traffic, and I am afraid that many merchants who collect mountain goods or medicinal materials will come, and this store may be specially designed to entertain these people."
What he said sounds reasonable. Now that the economic environment is good, there is no shortage of buyers for mountain goods.
Wang Kaixuan pondered for a while, and said, "Why do you think so much, just ask the proprietress directly later and you will know."
While they were talking, the proprietress who went to the back kitchen had already returned, and Wang Kaixuan asked directly: "I said proprietress, can you open a hotel in this place, can you have business?"
This guy has always done things directly, and this is no different.
The proprietress was straightforward, and when she heard Wang Kaixuan's question, she smiled and said, "Why are there no guests, why don't you just come here?"
Wang Kaixuan then asked: "Are there many of us like this?"
From what the proprietress said, he heard something was wrong, why did this place seem to have a lot of customers.
The proprietress said without hesitation: "It's not too much, but it can be a wave in a month."
Once a month?
This answer stunned everyone for an instant. After hearing what the proprietress said just now, they thought that there should be foreigners coming here, but they didn't expect the frequency to be so high.
Hu Bayi asked at this time: "Miss Boss, do you know what they all do?"
The proprietress said: "Just like you, I came here for the ancient tombs in the mountains. Otherwise, we are in a poor mountain and remote place, what else can people come here for?"
Hearing this, several people looked at each other.
Except for Chen Ziyan, who had long known that there was a tomb here, there was a flash of surprise in the eyes of everyone else.
Because Chen Ziyan hadn't told them yet, they really didn't know that there was an ancient tomb here.
Seeing that they were interested, the proprietress smiled and said, "Everyone in our neighborhood knows that there is a large tomb from the Western Zhou Dynasty in the mountain, but no one has seen where this tomb is."
She was not surprised by the purpose of Chen Ziyan and others, but she didn't think they could find it either.
"I also know that I can't persuade you, and you should prepare in advance. Even if you can't find the ancient tomb, it's not bad to just come here for a tour." Judging by her proficiency, she knew that she must have said a lot.
Chen Ziyan pondered for a while, and then said to the proprietress: "Madam proprietress, please open some rooms for us."
At first, Chen Ziyan didn't plan to open the room, and they didn't plan to stay here overnight, they planned to start directly tonight.
But at this moment, he changed his mind. Since there are always people coming here, there must be guides who are familiar with the surrounding terrain.
Although Hu Bayi was able to locate them through Feng Shui, a qualified guide could undoubtedly help them narrow down the area and save some time.
And what they need to pay is just a sum of money, which is completely a suitable transaction.
Sure enough, after hearing what Chen Ziyan said, the wife of the proprietress became even more enthusiastic.
It's not surprising when you think about it, her place was originally a hotel, and compared to a meal, she still earns more money from accommodation, especially when Chen Ziyan and the others book a room each.
Hu Bayi and the others could see Chen Ziyan's intentions, so no one raised any objections.
Except for Da Jinya, all of them are people who have experienced real adventures and know the importance of a qualified guide!
After the proprietress delivered all the dishes, Chen Ziyan said to the proprietress: "Madam proprietress, we want to take a look around later. Do you know any guides you know? Can you introduce them to us?"
For such a request, the proprietress would not refuse, and immediately agreed: "This matter is easy to handle, I will let someone contact you."
After she finished speaking, she went out, and not long after, she led in a young man who looked to be in his early twenties.
"This is the hunter in our village who is most familiar with the nearby mountains. It is not an exaggeration to say that he grew up in the mountains. I will let him take you for a stroll later. I am sure you can find them anywhere." The proprietress said.
Chen Ziyan looked at the young man, and found that his physique looked very strong, and his eyes were sharper, so he knew what the proprietress said was right, he was a seasoned hunter.
Most of these guides are reliable when walking in the mountains.
On the contrary, Wang Kaixuan seemed to have discovered something, his thief-like eyes looked back and forth between the proprietress and the hunter guide several times, as if he had discovered some secret.
But Chen Ziyan didn't bother to pay attention to this, he didn't care about any secrets between the two of them, as long as the other party could take him where he wanted to go.
Anyway, they will leave after finishing their work, and they won't stay here for long, and they have nothing to do with any secrets.
"Okay, then trouble this brother!" Chen Ziyan nodded and said.
Then he invited the guide to sit down and have some food, but he politely declined.
He didn't force it, it was just a pure transaction when we met by chance, and it didn't matter if he didn't want to.
