Early the next morning, I went to Hua San’s home in the center of the town. Hua San was relatively wealthy in the town, so his house was an independent three-story building.

There are also ceramic tiles on the walls.

When I went there, the gate to the courtyard of Huashanjia was open, so I walked into the courtyard in a big way, and then shouted at the open gate.

"Is H3C here?"

After I shouted, I stood in the yard and didn't move anymore. After a while, a fat guy walked out of the gate.

"What do you want from me?" the guy asked me. It seemed that this guy was the H3C student.

"Good thing." I said. After I finished speaking, I continued to ask Hua San, "Can we go inside and talk?"

Na Hua San looked me up and down. After that, Hua San probably felt that I didn't look like a bad person, so he nodded to me and said, "Okay!"

After entering the door, this guy Hua San was quite polite. He poured me a cup of tea and let me chat while drinking. This businessman is a businessman, even if he is doing business with a guy like the Evil Ghost King, but in dealing with people

Yes, it still feels very comfortable.

After drinking the tea handed over by Hua San, I stopped beating around the bush and directly expressed my thoughts. "I heard that you are doing business with the Evil Ghost King. Can you take me into the Evil Ghost Ridge?"

, As for the benefits, it’s easy to say.”

My directness probably frightened Hua San, so when I finished speaking, Hua San was stunned for a moment. But soon, Hua San's face returned to normal, and then he asked me. "

What were you doing there?"

This question from Hua San was something I expected. Before I came, I had thought that he would ask me this question. Therefore, I immediately gave him the answer I had prepared before.

"To tell you the truth, I went there to collect medicine. The medicine I needed to find can only be found in the Evil Ghost Ridge." I said.

After hearing this, Hua San looked me up and down, and then he recited a prescription to himself. I knew that Hua San was testing me. If I really went to collect herbs, then I must be familiar with the medicinal materials.

He knows a lot about prescriptions, and the prescription he is talking about is not a complicated one. Even an ordinary Chinese medicine practitioner can tell what disease it is treating.

"The prescription you mentioned is for refreshing and nourishing energy. It is most effective when taken three times a day, half an hour after meals." After Hua San finished speaking, I immediately answered.

When I said this, Hua San immediately nodded slightly, and then said to me: "It seems that you really know some medical skills."

"If I don't know medical skills, would I dare to go to the Evil Ghost Ridge to collect medicine?" I said.

"Okay, since you are going in to collect herbs, I can take you in. However, if you go all the way to Evil Ghost Ridge to collect herbs, even if I don't have to ask about the herbs you want to collect, then I must

It's also very valuable." Hua San said. As Hua San said, he looked at me with a smile. Everyone could understand what he meant, that he wanted to take advantage of me.

"Isn't it just a guide? How much do you want? If your price is too outrageous, I will find someone else to guide you. Isn't this just a matter of getting two horses? I don't believe you are the only one in this small town.

Hua San loves money." I said.

I say this because I want Hua San to understand that I don't have to rely on him to enter the Evil Ghost Ridge. This can suppress Hua San's lion's mouth, and secondly, it can make Hua San misunderstand that I am going to do it.

This is about collecting herbs, and I am not afraid of publicity. In this way, he will definitely not think that I am going to trouble the Evil Ghost King this time.

As soon as I said this, Huasan immediately showed me three fingers.

Although I didn't know exactly what the three fingers pointed to, I was sure that the first number was definitely "3", so I spoke.

"30 yuan, no problem, that's it." I said generously to Hua San, and as I said that, I took out 30 yuan from my pocket, handed it to him, and said, "I'll pay first."

Qian, you will lead the way, this is quite upright!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as I handed over the money, H3C blocked the money from me and said, "3,000 yuan."

When I heard it, 3,000 yuan was actually not a big sum for me. At least I could afford the price. However, in order to emphasize that this matter was not important to me like H3C, I decisively shook it off.

Shaking his head, he said: "The medicine I picked is also available in another place, but it costs more than 200 yuan to take a train there. I think the fare is too expensive and time-consuming, so I came here. You

I want 3,000 yuan to open the door, I might as well take the train there to pick it up, 3,000 yuan is enough for me to take a soft sleeper, and there is more."

As I said this, I was about to turn around and walk out of the yard. However, after I took a few steps, Huashan suddenly stopped me.

"Wait!" After calling me, Hua San continued. "Since you think 3,000 yuan is too expensive, then make it a little less, 1,000 yuan. This price cannot be less. Think about it! This train

I have also sat on a hard seat that costs more than 200 yuan, which is at least 20 hours. How tiring it is for this person to sit! If you take a sleeper, it will cost at least 400 yuan for one side, and 800 yuan for a round trip.

Including other expenses on the journey, it will definitely be more than 1,000 yuan. If you give me 1,000 yuan, I promise to take you to Evil Ghost Ridge, and after you collect the medicine, I can also take you out." Hua San said.

.

I have to say that a businessman like Hua San really has a very clever mind. When he calculated things in such a shady way, it sounded like I had gotten a big deal.

In fact, 1,000 yuan is indeed a low enough price for me, but since I am pretending to be a fool in front of H3C, I have to continue to cheat.

So, I shook my head and continued to tell Hua San: "It's not the Spring Festival travel season now, there are not many people taking the train, and the hard seat is almost the same as the sleeper. Even if I sit on the hard seat, I can still lie down and sleep on that chair.

Therefore, the maximum is 500 yuan, and I cannot add more."

"I've seen stingy people, but I've never seen someone so stingy like you." Hua San sighed and said to me in a rogue manner: "Forget it, I'll just treat it as a favor to you, 500 yuan is 500 yuan."

When Hua San said this, I saw a sly smile inadvertently appear on his face. I knew that this guy Hua San must be up to something, and this matter was probably a scam.

"Okay, when will we set off?" I asked.

"Come to my house to find me at two o'clock this afternoon. I have to send some things to the Evil Ghost Temple today, so I'll take you in by the way." Hua San said.

After agreeing with H3C, I left his house and went to the hotel to find Mr. Ye and the others. I told Mr. Ye and the others about the situation at H3C, and then told them that this time I entered the hotel.

It will take at least several days to get out of Evil Ghost Ridge. If things don't go well, I estimate that they might not be able to get out for half a month. Therefore, I asked them to go back to the city and wait for news.

After all, I'm afraid that if the two of them stay here and the people in Evil Ghost Ridge find out about it, they may be in danger.

After listening to what I said, Mr. Ye also knew that there was no use staying here. He told me that it was no problem. They would go back to the city, but as soon as there was news here, he would ask me to call them immediately.

Just like that, I sent Mr. Ye and the others away. After sending them away, I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. Because I vaguely felt that there were spies from Evil Ghost Ridge in this town. After all, even here,

Hua San, who was born and raised in the town, is from Evil Ghost Ridge, so among the other residents, I believe there will be some who help Evil Ghost Ridge.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, I went to Hua San's house as scheduled. When I arrived, there were two horses in the yard of Hua San's house. Both horses carried large boxes on their backs, but the saddles were still a little bit left.

The area is barely big enough to seat people.

"Give me the money first, then mount the horse!" Hua San said.

This guy, is he afraid that I won’t give him money when I get to my destination?

"Okay! But I can only give you half, two hundred and fifty yuan. When it's done, I'll give you the other half." I said. As I said that, I gave Hua San two hundred and fifty yuan.

"You're just not happy! Okay, I'll give you two hundred and five first." With that, Hua San took the reins of a horse with his hand and asked me to ride on it.

I often rode horses when I was a child in Shima Village. At that time, Shima Village was located in a mountain, so to transport food and other things out and to transport cement and other things, we had to rely on horses. Therefore,

, I am still very familiar with horses and other things.

Seeing that I was riding on the horse skillfully, Hua San looked at me in surprise and asked, "Can you ride a horse?"

I nodded and said, "I grew up in a rural area and have ridden one since I was a child."

"That's good, just follow me." Hua San said.

After saying that, Hua San immediately got on the horse in front of him, then said "drive", and the horse began to move forward slowly.

After leaving the town, Hua San first took me into a small bamboo forest, and then started walking on the mountain road. Although this mountain road could barely look like a road, it was actually overgrown with weeds.

Judging from the wildly growing weeds on the road, it can be seen that this road is really not used by many people.

"How long will it take for us to walk to the Evil Ghost Ridge?" I asked Hua San.

"Follow me, and you'll definitely arrive before dark; if you follow someone else, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach Evil Ghost Ridge all day and night." Hua San replied to me. When Hua San said this, he really meant it.

A proud look on his face.

"Why?" I asked.
