Chapter 274: Desolate Village
Zhang Qiaoyin had a very stable night. When she woke up, she was already dawn and she didn't even have a dream. This was really incredible. Seeing that she was in good spirits, Fang Shi felt relieved.
Lou Jingxiang and Zhang Qiaoyin washed up in the pool water, packed up the overnight things, and waited for the aunt to come and collect them. They ate some food casually and walked up the mountain with Fang Shi.
Even though Lou Jingzhong had already swear to serve Fang Shi, Fang Shi still did not fully believe in the Lou family. All he swears was Lou Jingzhong, not all the Lou family members. Of course, Fang Shi could also use the threat of destroying the formation to demand that the entire Lou family be loyal to him. However, Fang Shi's small shoulders may not be able to bear this method, and he did not have such ambition.
Therefore, he simply avoided Loujia Village to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Following a path that was almost reoccupied by weeds, the group walked slowly. The leader was Lou Jingzhong, followed by Lou Jingxiang, Zhang Qiaoyin and Fang Shi at the end.
Three of the four were Lian Jiazi, and one of them was not a eldest lady. They grew up in rural Shu, and walking on the mountain roads was a trivial matter. In addition, everyone did not salute, only Fang Shi carried a small backpack on his backpack. He walked without any burden at all. The speed was still very fast. When the sun emerged from the hills, everyone just crossed the ridge.
This road was once walked by Fangshi once yesterday, and it was not difficult to walk. It was not a road along the hillside, and it was safe all the way. After walking for about two hours, I walked around the village entrance to the south. On the tree beside the gravel road, there were a few small donkeys tied up on the weeds on the ground bored.
At this point, Fang Shi basically believed in the sincerity of the Lou family. In fact, Fang Shi was also a little furious before. Who knew if the Lou family would be anxious and ambush himself halfway. Now it seems that they did not plan to do this.
Being a person always has to take risks. Betting on others is actually a kind of adventure. If you don’t even have the spirit of adventure, then never try to trust others. Of course, Fang Shi believes not only Lou Jingzhong’s oath, but also trusts his own judgment and Xia Yuxin’s suggestions.
Fang Shi was impatiently sitting on the donkey's back and shaking. It was more comfortable to walk as a car, and the speed was not slower than sitting on the donkey's back. Fang Shi was naturally embarrassed to ride if he didn't ride the donkey. So the two men each held a donkey and carried a girl. The sound of the donkey's hooves echoed in the valley. The water was gurgling in the small river beside the stone road. Then there was a little bird singing and a fragrance of flowers, and the pine waves were facing the wind. However, this harmonious scene made people speechless. One was a girl, and the other was also a girl. There was no place to think about.
"Fangshi, what do we do next?"
"How to do it?" Fang Shi smiled and turned his head to look at Lou Jingzhong: "Didn't you have planned it?"
"Uh...but, don't you want to cooperate... Uh, I mean, maybe you're because there's something wrong with my plan..."
"No, no, you're wrong. It's not that there's something wrong with your plan, but that there's something wrong with our relationship. Before, our relationship had no trust, so your plan was purely wishful thinking, but now you have to listen to me, so the feasibility of the plan is there."
Lou Jingzhong nodded suddenly, Fang Shi curled his lips. Do you have to pretend to be stupid as a subordinate? Fang Shi did not believe that Lou Jingzhong's wisdom and cautious personality would have never considered this issue. His only purpose of pretending to be stupid now is probably to please him.
"Lou Jingzhong."
"What?"
"I don't like stupid subordinates, do you understand?"
"Uh...I understand."
Lou Jingxiang, sitting on the back of the donkey, glanced at Fang Shi in dissatisfaction. Fortunately, Fang Shi could not see it. No matter what, as Lou Jingzhong's sister, I always felt uncomfortable when I saw my brother whispering in front of others.
Fang Shi didn't talk much along the way, mainly asking about the situation of the Lou family, especially the past, and what Lou Jingzhong is good at.
Lou Jingzhong is also a backbone in the Lou family, and his knowledge is pretty good. He is very familiar with general ghost control, ghost raising, soul-suppressing techniques, etc., and has good attainments in poison and physiognomy. However, Feng Shui and divination are relatively poor, and the talisman technique is not good at all. There are other people who are proficient in talisman technique. Unfortunately, the talisman technique passed down by the Lou family itself is not very good, and it is not even a second-rate one.
The most praised thing about the Lou family is the poison technique. The secret method of using poison and poison production is quite powerful. Lou Jingzhong also told Fang Shi that the Lou family's secret is related to a certain kind of fungus. This fungus is cultivated by the Lou family's exclusive technique and has a strong effect. Whether it is taken directly or inhaled, it can quickly be in a state of loss of souls. Fang Lei also got this trick at the beginning.
However, the Lou family firmly believed in the creed that "lewdness is the leader of all evil", so Lou Jingzhong did not have aphrodisiac drugs at that time. Otherwise, Fang Lei would have said that there would be no place to wait for Fang Shi to rescue him.
The journey was long, and Fang Shi took this opportunity to have a general understanding of his subordinates. To be honest, the Lou family really had nothing to itch to Fang Shi.
In the evening, they arrived at a village on time, which was also a stronghold for forest protection and mountain driving people. There were quite a lot of people here this season. Lou Jingzhong was very familiar with these mountain people, and greeted each other enthusiastically, found a house to clean it, and prepared to spend the night here.
Fang Shi was always very careful and refused to eat other people's food. Even though Lou Jingzhong showed him how to prevent and identify poison, Fang Shi still insisted on eating his own dry food. After all, this place is still someone else's territory, and there is another Zhang Qiaoyin around him.
At night, Fang Shi and others fell asleep. He quietly left the village and looked at the way he came for a few kilometers. He confirmed that he had no tail to follow him, so he returned to the village to rest with peace of mind.
The next morning, Lou Jingxiang looked at Fang Shi with a look of vigilance. After finding an opportunity, she quietly pulled her brother aside, glanced at Fang Shi who was talking to Zhang Qiaoyin, and leaned into Lou Jingzhong's ear and whispered.
"Brother, have you noticed that last night was strange?"
"Hmm? What's wrong? Why don't I feel it?"
Lou Jingzhong thought for a while and shook his head and replied.
Lou Jingxiang subconsciously clenched her fist. She hesitated for a moment and looked at Fang Shi's direction. She said in a smaller voice:
"In the past, I was always not easy to fall asleep in a strange place and always dreamed. But yesterday it was strange that I fell asleep as soon as I fell down, and I had no dreams all night. This... Brother, do you think Fang Shi did anything to us?"
"What did you do? Maybe. Even if he did you, I don't know what he did, huh? What do you want to say, is he..."
Lou Jingzhong was shocked and his voice became louder. Lou Jingxiang's face turned red: "Brother, what are you talking about?"
As he said that, Lou Jingxiang looked at Fangshi with concern, but Fangshi turned around and walked out of the yard. Lou Jingxiang breathed a sigh of relief: "I mean...will he let us unconsciously leak something or something?"
Lou Jingzhong patted his chest lightly, and smiled a little bit sarcastically:
"Oh. I was shocked. I thought... If he really wanted to ask something, I wouldn't hide it. Of course, I would ask for things that I don't know for nothing! What are my sister worried about? What secrets are you afraid of being asked?"
Lou Jingxiang gave Lou Jingzhong a blank look, reached out and pushed Lou Jingzhong away, walked out quickly. Fang Shi came in with a bag of beans. Lou Jingxiang greeted him and took him to feed the donkey.
"Brother Shitou, where did the beans come from?"
"It was bought from my fellow villager, it's cheap."
"Sister Xiang said that the mountain products here are cheaper, so I also want to buy some and give them to my colleagues. I have to ask for leave thanks to others for help."
"Uh..." Fang Shi was speechless. This girl really thought she was here for a trip, but seeing her current state, Fang Shi was very pleased. Fang Shi had nothing to say about his bastard brother doing bad things: "Then just buy it, is it enough money?"
"Enough, I can't take any more than I can buy!"
Fang Shi pointed at himself, then reached out to Lou Jingzhong: "He's there!"
Lou Jingxiang burst into laughter, feeling quite thrilled with revenge.
Zhang Qiaoyin laughed, but she really went to buy mountain goods. The girl was very good at joking prices. Most of the mountain people were stupid, and this beautiful girl was sweet-mouthed, so she really got a lot of good things. Zhang Qiaoyin happily made two marijuana bags with Lou Jingxiang. Lou Jingzhong sighed when he saw it. Fortunately, there were two small donkeys, and it was not far from Shiting Village. When he arrived at Shiting Village, he could find a leap bike to transport it out.
I arrived at Shiting Village at noon. As Lou Jingzhong said, Shiting Village now has 20 or 30 households, which seems a bit dilapidated. The village is located on the east side of the basin between two mountains. After placing the Feng Shui level, it has been built on the front side and along the mountain. In the main position, it is actually a swamp. Apart from the water birds and beasts, it is rarely visited, and there are no things in the two dragon heads. Instead, there are two mountain roads surrounding it, as if it is a rein tied to the dragon's mouth. This is a trap for dragon trapping.
Fang Shi did not rest at noon, but took Lou Jingzhong and the two of them walked around in the small basin outside the mountain. Fang Shi had a clear understanding of the end of the Double Dragon Out of the Water. As for the precise drawings, Lou Jingzhong had it in his hand, and there were many design plans. As long as he returned to the mountain city, Lou Jingzhong could hand it in Fang Shi.
There is a gravel road connected to the highway outside, which can be used for tramways. What Lou Jingzhong wants to build is this winding mountain road with a total length of 19 kilometers. According to the budget, it is expensive to build a two-lane cement road. This is mainly because the construction conditions are too poor. In addition, many places need to blow up mountains and rocks and build a large number of retaining walls. The total price of the project is about 40 to 50 million.
It is obviously impossible to build a road worth tens of millions of dollars in a village of twenty or thirty households. The government is more inclined to immigrate the villagers. The Lou family naturally refuses to accept this result. However, the Lou family is indeed poor and cannot pay the money. They can only rely on the few tribesmen who are doing business outside to continue their efforts.
If Fang Shi’s suggestion is feasible, then the Lou family first moved their tribesmen out and built the Feng Shui Bureau of Shiting Village, and then slowly improved the traffic. The communication situation is a more practical solution. Sitting on the shaking jumping car, Lou Jing was free from his mind, and there was always a faint smile on his lips.
