Chapter 170 What to do for a living
Shen Dinghai had quick eyes and quick hands. He immediately took the three girls and hid in the shrine. He regretted just after squeezing in.
“This shabby place is too small! Others don’t need to get close to look at it, they can tell from a distance that the four of us are squeezed in!”
“No, no, no! We have to find another place to hide. !”
In panic, Shen Dinghai kicked the incense table with only a thin layer of dust, and immediately heard the sound of the heavy black stone base slowly moving away.
Everyone looked at each other in shock and confusion for a moment.
“Who would have thought that this black stone is equipped with two mechanisms!” Shen Dinghai complained dissatisfiedly.
Ran Ran quickly glanced at the simple interior decorations, frowned and said: "But the incense table should be thought of."
"All the furnishings here are covered with a thick layer of dust. Only the dust on the incense table is still light, indicating that someone will move it from time to time..."
Wu Pannan interrupted Ran Ran ruthlessly, "Can we talk and see if the timing is right? People are about to go up the mountain. You actually have time to chat..."
After saying that, she took Dongsheng's hand and got into the hole first.
Ran Ran glanced at Shen Dinghai and motioned for him to leave first.
Below the entrance of the cave is a narrow staircase with a steep slope, which gave Shen Dinghai the illusion that he was crossing a dangerous path.
He followed Wu Pannan and Dongsheng's steps and walked down more than a dozen steps fearfully. When he looked back, he found that Ran Ran had not followed!
He was so anxious that he immediately walked back, only to see a white face stained with dust appear at the entrance of the cave.
Shen Dinghai's heart immediately calmed down.
He lowered his voice and said urgently: "Cousin, you can't be so slow anymore, your slow movements almost scared me to death!"
"I thought you were discovered by those people. "Yes!"
Ranran chuckled, "I know, but I didn't mean to be slow just now."
"I was hiding between the gap between the base and the wall to listen to them. This is a necessary snooping step.”
Shen Dinghai led Ran Ran down slowly bit by bit, "Prying for what? Cousin, have you found out any key information?"
Ran Ran said softly: "No, I just want my It is more accurate to speculate that I just hid there just to know what the attitude of the men in the village towards the evil god was."
Shen Dinghai licked his lips, feeling a little nervous, "How is it?"
Ran Ran smiled and rolled her eyes, "It's basically consistent with what we speculated."
"When the men in the village faced the Evil God Hall, they didn't have the piety on the faces of the women at all. Instead, they were disgusted. They read It’s a different spell than that of women, but it’s still full of malice.”
Shen Dinghai immediately became happy and turned into a praise machine.
“My cousin is very smart! When the situation is so unclear, he can string together various clues to make bold guesses, and the conclusion he draws is basically the same as the real situation! Great!”
Ran Ran's eyes curled up after being praised, but Shen Dinghai suddenly turned serious.
"Cousin, you are so powerful. Don't worry about such trivial matters as not guessing the mechanism of the Shentang."
Ran Ran was stunned and speechless for a moment.
She was surprised that Shen Dinghai was so sensitive to her emotional changes.
I saw Shen Dinghai sigh, "I know cousin, you are very powerful, but don't always think of taking everything on your shoulders, we are all here."
Ran Ran It felt like these words suddenly echoed and kept repeating in her ears.
For a moment, she was lost in thought. She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Okay."
The group of people descended the stone stairs for an unknown number of times, and their eyes suddenly became enlightened.
Shen Dinghai opened his eyes unconsciously. At this moment, he deeply understood what Ran Ran said about having a different world.
They are now standing on a wide flat land!
In front of you is a long corridor that can't be seen to the end, extending forward to the end where there is no light.
“Oh my god, have the people in Gude Village hollowed out the entire mountain?”
There was some echo immediately in the empty cave, and Shen Dinghai was so scared that he quickly covered it mouth.
Ranran spoke softly, "According to what Dongsheng said, Yunxiang is not from this village. If she follows the village's customs, she will get married." "When you get married, you must have a starting point, and that place is most likely here."
Shen Dinghai nodded suddenly and said in an angry voice: "I'm just telling you, cousin, how could you be sure that the bride was nearby!"
"Yunxiang is in the village. There are no relatives here, and the joyful voice came from here, so I just let it go."
Ran Ran looked at Shen Dinghai, "So assuming that this is true, send off the relatives. There are so many people in this cave, but we didn’t hear any sound, so they probably couldn’t hear our every move clearly.”
Shen Dinghai opened his eyes in confusion, "Huh? So what?"
Ran Ran smiled helplessly: "I want to say, second nephew, you don't need to close your mouth or speak with a breathy voice. "
"We can't hear them, and they naturally can't hear us."
Shen Dinghai was a little embarrassed, "It turns out that you just wanted to tell me this."
Ran Ran said matter-of-factly: "Second nephew, you like to talk so much, how uncomfortable it would be if I couldn't let you talk comfortably."
Shen Dinghai watched Ran Ran wink at him and knew that her words were meant to tease him, but he still couldn't help but be moved.
"What should we do after we come in?"
Looking slowly, there is unfathomable darkness at the end of the corridor.
"Of course it is natural to explore everywhere, and it is best to find something."
Dongsheng, who had been silent all the time, said hoarsely, "We must find rue."
The relaxed atmosphere of seeing the novel scene for the first time disappeared in an instant, and everyone lost the desire to talk.
Only Shen Dinghai was thinking about enlivening the atmosphere.
He approached Dongsheng and said mischievously: "You really don't know anything about the Shentang?"
Dongsheng shook his head.
“The people in your village dug such a big hole in the mountain. It shouldn’t be something that only one generation can do. Is it the hard work of generations?”
Shen Dinghai pondered, "But why dig a cave for no reason? Could it be that there are mines in this mountain?"
Shocked by his own thoughts, he blurted out, "Your village may have the gene of a gold miner! "
Wu Pannan sneered, "If there was a gold mine in our village, would my dad still have to sell me for some meat?"
"Gold mine..." Dong. The student thought for a while and said, "I've never heard of it."
Shen Dinghai said, "That's really strange. Since Gude Village does not produce minerals, how can we make a living?"
Dongsheng walked lightly like everyone else. She was very anxious and wanted to find Yunxiang quickly, but she knew she couldn't rush.
"The village can basically be self-sufficient. If there is something really lacking, we can ask Master Ruan to get it." Tokumura is almost closely related.
Shen Dinghai scratched his head, "But there is a wide road at the entrance of your village. For such a remote mountain, transportation is quite convenient. I thought you would use that road to do business?"< br>
“I don’t know whether there is any business.”
"The road was built with the help of the government based on the poverty alleviation policy. When there was no miasma at the beginning, there were not many cars, and after there was miasma, there were almost none."
Ran Ran captured the key words.
"Almost none? That means there are still." She looked into Dongsheng's eyes.
“I’m very curious, besides people like us who accidentally bumped into each other, who else would come to such a remote mountain.”
Dongsheng’s face suddenly turned pale. Her lips trembled, but no sound came out.
This reaction made Ran Ran certain that they were finally getting close to the truth.
This mountain village hidden in the fog, Gude Village, will finally reveal its true appearance.
