Gu Chen didn't know if the danger mentioned by these middle-aged women was what the old vegetable seller said.

But one thing is certain, the incident in Liu Village has caused a stir in Meishan Town, and many locals are talking about Liu Sebian, as if they are afraid of seeing a ghost.

From this point of view, it is imperative that Zhao Guozhi is determined to deal with the affairs of Liucun.

After Gu Chen put his luggage bag on his back, he also took Lu Weiwei's drawing board in his hand, pretending to be a couple. Gu Chen was still very professional.

Lu Weiwei took Gu Chen's arm and came to the intersection with Officer Wang who was alone.

Three motorcyclists were chatting together, puffing away cigarettes.

When I see a customer coming to my door, I immediately become enthusiastic.

"You came to Meishan Town to sketch, right?" a young driver asked.

"Yes." Lu Weiwei smiled and said, "Have you received many sketching students?"

"It used to be, but now it's less, but sometimes there are some." Another older man with white hair threw away his cigarette butt and interrupted: "What? Where are you going?"

"Let's go to Liucun." Gu Chen said.

"Liu...Liu Cun?" When the young driver heard this, he was immediately stunned.

The other two drivers also looked frightened.

"Is there any problem?" Officer Wang stepped forward to ask about the situation.

The young driver waved his hand and said: "If you don't want to go to Liucun, you can choose other places."

"Hey! If we don't do business here, then what are you doing here?" Officer Wang was also quite dissatisfied.

He just thought that there were many means of transportation in Meishan town, and it was quite convenient to go to Liucun. However, he did not expect that the motorcycle drivers collectively refused to go to Liucun.

"Brother, let me tell you the truth, the place in Liucun is unlucky and often haunted at night. We people have nothing to do. We come here to carry passengers for the convenience of the folks in the countryside and earn some cigarette money. There is no need to go there.

You risk your life by planting land.”

After the young driver finished speaking, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it for himself.

"Then do you know if there is any other means of transportation to get there?" Gu Chen looked around and asked.

The older driver waved his hand and said, "No, let's go to Liucun. It's about twenty kilometers away. Unless you have a car, you can only go there on foot."

"Ah? Then aren't we here in vain?" Lu Weiwei was a little unhappy, thinking that these people...could they be deliberately raising prices?

The original plan was pretty good.

As a student, you have to act like a student. If you drive here to sketch, you will have a big goal and you will be noticed wherever you go.

This is also the reason why several people considered taking urban and rural buses here after careful consideration.

But now we encounter a new problem, the motorcycle driver refuses to ride, which is a bit troublesome.

Lao Wang talked earnestly with these people for a long time, but no one wanted to go to Liucun.

Gu Chen looked at the sky and said, "It's still early, why don't we see if we can rent a car in the town. If we can, we can go there."

When the old driver heard this, he sneered and shook his head: "It's impossible. If you go to Liucun, no one is willing to rent it to you. To be honest, everyone avoids that place, so why do you insist on going?"

"Let me tell you, our Meishan Town is not limited to Liucun. There are many places with beautiful mountains and rivers." The young driver took a puff of cigarette and continued to suggest: "Although in terms of scenery, Liucun is indeed unique.

, but other places are also available.”

"If it doesn't work, you can still go to Panlong Town. Take my car and it will cost you 30 yuan. It's very close." Another young driver also tried to shake the determination of the three of them.

Officer Wang frowned and continued to discuss with a few people.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, led Lu Weiwei, and the two of them walked to a non-staple food store at the intersection and bought three bottles of water and some non-staple food.

The shop owner was a one-eyed man with a somewhat fierce appearance and rough skin. After accepting Gu Chen's money, he asked: "Are you going to Liucun?"

Obviously, he also heard everyone's conversation just now.

"That's right." Gu Chen nodded and asked him, "Can I rent a car in town?"

The one-eyed boss didn't answer immediately, but looked at Gu Chen's clothes and luggage up and down, and then replied: "No, but I don't recommend you go there, you'd better find another place."

"Is there really no other choice?" Lu Weiwei was also in a terrible mood because of the people in the town: "I don't believe in this evil, the worst is to walk."

"That's up to you." The one-eyed dragon said with a cold face, sat back on the wicker chair and continued to watch his sports events.

At this time, another urban and rural bus arrived and a group of passengers got off.

Several passengers waved to the motorcyclist as soon as they got off the bus.

"Master, are you going to Liao Village?"

"Master, are you going to Hongcun?"

The two younger drivers immediately started the vehicle and drove over, shouting: "Let's go."

However, after the two of them picked up the passengers and left, the elderly driver still had no intention of taking action.

He looked at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei who were walking over.

Then, he stretched out three fingers and said: "If you are willing to pay three times the travel expenses, I am willing to take you for a ride."

Hearing this, it seemed like a happy event from heaven. The three of them looked at each other, but they were so happy.

"Okay, it doesn't matter if it's three times as long as it takes us there." Officer Wang was as happy as a child.

"Then get on the bus." The old driver opened the back door of the tricycle and asked the three of them to put their luggage in first. He casually explained: "I have agreed in advance that I will just take you there. As for how you will come back, then

I don’t care.”

He looked at the sky and then said: "I guess you won't be able to come back before dark. I suggest you go to the village to find a family to live in and pay some money. The people in the village are still very nice to talk to."

"Thank you." Lu Weiwei nodded with satisfaction, and then asked him: "Aren't you afraid of taking us there?"

The old driver snorted twice, got into the driver's seat, started the vehicle skillfully, and said: "I'm an old man, what are you afraid of? My family still needs to eat, so even if I'm a Bodhisattva, I'll take risks."

The three of them got into the car smoothly and drove along the road to Liucun.

At this moment, the one-eyed owner of the non-staple food store at the intersection also looked at it curiously and shook his head helplessly.

…

…

"We've arrived at Willow Village." The old driver parked the car, got down to help the three of them carry their luggage, and pointed to the river in front of him: "You go two hundred meters further along the river. There is a big willow tree there, spanning the river.

On the river, you can reach Liu Village by crossing the Willow Bridge."

"Thank you." Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and prepared to make mobile payment.

The old driver waved his hand and said: "The network here is not good and it is at the foot of the mountain. Just give us cash."

"Okay." Gu Chen took out his wallet again and paid all the travel expenses.

The old driver took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Gu Chen: "Here is my mobile phone number. If you want to leave Liucun anytime, just call me. It will still cost three times the toll."

"Thank you, you really provide a complete service!" Gu Chen smiled.

"Hey, it's not easy to make money these days." After collecting the money, the old driver left with satisfaction.

The water here is very clear, the mountains are very green, and the undulating virgin forests are like a natural oxygen bar, bringing fresh air here.

Liucun is located at the foot of the mountain.

The three of them followed the old driver's guidance and found the big willow tree across the river.

"It's true. This is the big willow tree that was struck down by lightning a hundred years ago. The old lady selling vegetables is absolutely right."

Gu Chen thought at first that the old lady was exaggerating, but now it seems that it is completely beyond his imagination.

The willow branches are very wide, and there are rope locks pulled up by the villagers on both sides as guardrails of the willow bridge.

It is covered with various plants, and the flowers and plants are very beautiful.

"This place is so beautiful." Lu Weiwei was very happy, but it was very difficult to understand: "How could such a beautiful place suddenly be haunted? Then should we also be equipped with some self-defense weapons?"

After thinking for a while, she turned to ask Gu Chen and Officer Wang: "Do you think there are any schools in China where students go to school with swordsmen? They're like sword-wielding mikos. They're very cool, aren't they?"

"That's nonsense." Officer Wang couldn't help but laugh at her: "Which school have you seen that wears a sword? Take your drawing board, this can be used as a shield, and take out your paintbrush, that can be used as a weapon."

According to Officer Wang, any object in nature can be used as a self-defense weapon.

It is extremely important to use local materials in places like this...

"Yes." The quiet Gu Chen suddenly smiled, showing his white teeth: "Let's find out about New Oriental Cooking School."

Officer Wang:???

"Okay, even if I didn't tell you, you win." Officer Wang felt that he could beat Lu Weiwei in a fight, but in a fight of IQ, even ten of him couldn't beat one Gu Chen.

After all, the only Mensa Club member in Jiangnan City does not live in vain.

The three of them walked across the Willow Bridge and arrived in front of the ancient village.

The architecture here is of the Hui style, with green tiles and white walls paired with green mountains and green waters, giving people a special feeling.

But there are not many villagers in what looks like a geomantic treasure land. A few old people are sitting in the square in the center of the village, chatting with walking sticks.

"This must be the CBD center of the village." Gu Chen looked around and saw that this area was the widest in the village.
