Chapter 5 Red Rock Paintings
This pattern of three stars facing the moon occupies a word "spirit" in the Feng Shui of mountains and rivers. Living people can live on the ground and dead people can live on the ground. It is a place with excellent Feng Shui. In other words, there must be ancient tombs below, and the one buried must be of a background.
Unfortunately, during the reform and opening up, the mountains were blown up and the mountains were leveled, which destroyed the Feng Shui of the three stars against the moon. In this way, the Feng Shui situation of the underground ancient tomb was suddenly destroyed, and the ancient corpses under the ground must have changed, so they attracted the surrounding evil spirits.
The Dou family's house was probably built on this ancient tomb, so the earthly evil spirit would recognize the master and entangle the Dou family's people.
Si Taiping continued: "Now you should understand that if you want to save your friend, you must start from the ground and solve the problem of sucking the yin evil. Not to mention whether you can succeed. If you succeed, the yin evil will scatter and harm others around you. Of course, at best, there are more traffic accidents, or if you die today and duck tomorrow, it will not have much impact. However, to save him alone, it will really damage his good deeds. If you are willing to do it, you can do it yourself."
I didn't expect the problem to be here, but I didn't feel embarrassed.
God is the one who has a fraternal heart, and I am a plain person. I am too far from God's realm. When facing the life of Tofu, how can I have the time to care about others? I said, "How long will my friend still have?"
Si Taiping said: "This depends on your personal physical condition, but it only lasts for one month. If you want to act, you have to do it as soon as possible."
At this point, I had already had a scheming in my heart. All I had left was a question, so I stared at Si Taiping's fat face and asked, "What is your relationship with Chen Ci?" Why didn't even mention the person in front of me mention in my grandfather's notebook, and why did this apprentice suddenly appear?
He laughed twice, drank wine and refused to answer, rubbed his hands, but instead seemed a little excited, saying, "You answer me first, it's better not to do this."
I said, "Of course I have to do it, could it be that my brother died like this?"
"Okay." Hearing this, he slapped his high-high and said, "That's all. This matter is a long story. Where can I start? Well, let's start from the year I just came out."
There is nothing to say about Si Taiping's background, which is similar to most people who go out to work. More than 20 years ago, he worked in a local brick factory in his hometown. Before getting off work, a fellow villager asked him: "Do you know the way to Xiangshan?" This Xiangshan is of course not Xiangshan in Beijing, but just the same name. It is a big mountain in the local area. The terrain in the mountains is very different, with river valley cliffs, rapids and dangerous peaks, and of course, there are also various precious wild animals.
It is like a natural zoo and botanical garden. The natural danger blocks human entry, making the ecological environment inside appear in a crazy state. The locals can only see the mountains, but no one has ever been to Xiangshan. Because most of the big ones who have been to the past are accidents, either breaking their arms or legs, or encountering attacks from wild animals. The worst one is a woman. During the day, her son has been playing in the mountains and has not returned. In desperation, she went into the mountains to search, but ended up meeting a leopard. Although she survived by chance, she was caught by the leopard and was so scary.
There is a cliff at the innermost part of Xiangshan. It is said that there are many stone paintings on the cliff. The locals call it Red Rock Painting. It is located deep in Xiangshan. However, because it is too dangerous and the terrain is complex, there are not many people who know where it is.
Si Taiping's grandfather was an anti-Japanese veteran. During the famine, he led Si Taiping's family to the mountains to find food. At that time, this behavior of being separated from the group and organization was not allowed. Therefore, he lived in the mountains for two years until the limelight passed and the situation changed, and he returned to the mountain. Therefore, the one who is most familiar with Xiangshan in this place should be Si Taiping, because his father was ill in bed and his grandfather died long ago.
After hearing what the fellow villager asked, Si Taiping said, "Who else can know besides me? Why don't you think..." These days, more poachers have become more and more poachers, and Xiangshan is hard to escape. Although there are natural dangers, there are always some poachers who are not afraid of death. Some come out alive, and of course, some never go back. Si Taiping knew that the fellow villager had a double-barrel hunting rifle at home, and thought he wanted to hunt.
The fellow villager said: "No, there is a foreigner who wants to go into the mountain and hire money to find a guide."
Si Taiping said: "I can't leave the brick factory. How much does it cost to pay for more than 60 cents a day?" It was probably about twenty-seven years ago. At that time, an ordinary worker's monthly salary was about 30 yuan. The area in Si Taiping is relatively inclined, and the salary is relatively low. He has to work in the brick factory for eleven hours a day.
The fellow villager said: "You can negotiate the specific price yourself. Anyway, the demeanor is very different. He must be a rich man. He came to my house to ask about it. I was the first to think of you in such a good thing."
People at that time were very simple. Si Taiping thanked him and thought: As long as the money was higher than that of the brick factory, he would be a guide for that person, but he did not expect it would be so high.
At the home of a fellow villager, he met the young man.
He is about the same age as himself, but because he works in a brick factory, he has a dry skin and black skin, so Si Taiping looks very old compared to that clean young man. Needless to say, that young man is naturally just my father's remarks, and he goes very cool everywhere.
Si Taiping recalled that Chen Ci was a person who was hard to forget at first glance. He was very arrogant and taciturn, but every word he said was very sharp, just like a knife. However, this kind of arrogance was not annoying, because it was not superficial. In addition to making people feel uncomfortable at the beginning, you will find that this kind of arrogance has a reason and it is also what he should do.
The conversation between the two was very short at that time.
Chen Ci asked coldly: "Do you know the way when painting the red rock?"
Si Taiping said: "I know, but it's very dangerous all the way, it will take at least four or five days." The subtext is that you can't go if you have less money.
Chen Ci nodded slightly, raised his chin, and his voice was still cold: "I don't count the time, I'll give you two hundred when things are done."
Two hundred! At that time, Si Taiping's monthly salary was about 18 yuan, and two hundred yuan was equivalent to a year's salary. He could make so much money in a few days, and he was not afraid even if it was a little dangerous. He nodded and agreed immediately, saying that he needed to prepare some things to get into the mountain to slow down Chen Ci for two days, so Chen Ci lived at Si Taiping's house.
At first, Si Taiping thought: It seems that this is a rich man, but it is easy to serve. At that time, people were kind-hearted and thought that they could not treat Chen Ci, the financial backer, so the owner borrowed rice and the westerner borrowed noodles. Anyone who was older knew that the rice was short of rice and mixed grains at that time, and every meal of clean rice was a wealthy family. After borrowing rice, they cooked it and served it to Chen Ci. Si Taiping and his parents ate the boiled sweet potatoes in the back room, dipped in a little local salt sauce.
Before he could eat, Chen Ci walked in and looked very arrogant. His dark eyes were cold. When he stared at him, you would involuntarily feel like a mouse, and you would want to find a crack in the ground to get drilled.
Si Taiping and his family were silent, nervous under Chen Ci's sight, but Chen Ci only said one sentence: "Get out for dinner."
Si Taiping then realized that he thought that this person was not as despised as he appeared. He smiled honestly and said, "We can eat this, you can eat it yourself."
Chen Ci looked at him coldly and said, "What qualifications do you have to order me? Don't let me repeat what I said again, remember not."
"Remember... remember." Si Taiping, including his father, nodded quickly. Then he realized: No, this is my family, why do we live like grandsons? Why are we scared to be like this by his words? The family of three looked at each other and was confused. But when they reacted, Chen Ci had already gone out. The three had to go out for dinner.
During the next process of getting along, Si Taiping understood Chen Ci's personality more and more, and immediately felt that this person was very good.
There are two things to remember when getting along with him:
First: You can’t talk too much nonsense, and you can’t alarm him without serious business.
Second: Every word he said makes sense and must not be used as nonsense, otherwise he will definitely regret it. Si Taiping has a deep understanding of this, but it has nothing to do with the current topic, so I won’t express it for the time being.
Apart from these two points, there is almost nothing to be picky about.
Back to the point, Si Taiping prepared the things and the two set off. In addition to Si Taiping's own things, Chen Ci also had a equipment bag, but Si Taiping contained it.
The two entered the mountain silently, and Si Taiping led the way in front, accurately following the route in memory. There were many mountains and rocks and the plants were not lush, so there were no insects, snakes and beasts. They just had to take a big way, but it was safer.
But he didn't expect that he hadn't entered the mountain for a long time, and the road was gone. There was probably a disaster like mudslides. The rocks were covered with mud covered with artemisia, insects, fly waste, and poisonous snakes were rushing. There was a dead end in front of him, which means that a large piece of collapsed in the middle, so he could no longer walk.
Si Taiping hesitated and said, "This road is broken, so we can only walk another one. That road goes through the canyon, which is very dangerous, and there is also a rock ridge. I have never been there. You have figured it out yourself, do you want to go? What are you doing when you go to the red rock painting?"
Chen Ci looked at him coldly and said, "Distill to go again." Chen Ci obviously ignored the last question Si Taiping asked.
The two then continued on the canyon.
