I think there is something fishy about this matter, but I don't know why Xu Qian is interested in this matter. After all, we are just passers-by, so there is no need to ask for trouble.
"This is not like your character." I whispered in Xu Qian's ear.
"Young Master Biao, what do you think I am like?" Xu Qian held up her orchid finger and twirled her hair charmingly in front of me, and said with a smile: "I am idle anyway, so there is no harm in going and taking a look!"
I nodded and said, "You're already here, there's no point in missing it."
I also got interested for a moment, thinking that although I came here to relax, I really wouldn't let it go if I encountered such a thing. Moreover, this was also an arrangement from somewhere. Just take the last time I went there.
Didn't you encounter a series of things when traveling to Saipan? As the saying goes, "Misfortune lies on the back of blessings." It is a blessing, not a curse, but a disaster cannot be avoided. This is exactly the truth.
"I won't tell you anymore. I have to settle the score with that brat. He lost my jade pendant. This time I have to break his legs!" the mayor said in a pretended to be vicious.
"Hey, mayor, you just said you were a public servant. How could you say something like this in such a blink of an eye? It's illegal to hit someone!" I laughed at the side.
"You want me to find that jade pendant, right?" Xu Qian was stunned, smelling something from his words.
The mayor slapped his hand and said in surprise, "Sure enough, this beauty is smart. Actually, I, as a reporter, all of you know that she is someone who is willing to risk your life for the news. If I want to stop you from going to the ghost cave, then it is obviously
It’s impossible, but since you’re going to do it, do me a favor.”
"Here you go, you are really a philistine!" I cursed in my heart.
"Isn't it just a jade pendant? Does it need something so mysterious..." Sister Meng looked at him suspiciously and said to me, "Lin Kun, let me remind you, I don't think this matter is that simple."
Sister Meng's reminder was not unreasonable. Her intuition has always been the most accurate. She said so. I needed to be more vigilant and said, "Oh, Mayor, is this jade pendant of yours priceless? Can we afford such a jade pendant?"
Going on an adventure?”
The mayor hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Look at the scars on my arms. They were caused when I went near the ghost cave that year. How could I dare to go in? It's just that the jade pendant was left behind by my grandfather."
, you can’t throw it away, otherwise why would I be so anxious to find it back and almost beat my child to death?"
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in helping." I shook my head deliberately.
I saw his eyes flicker when he said this, and it was obvious that he was lying. Although my ability to observe words and emotions is still much worse than that of Xu Qian and Sister Meng, I still boast that I am half as good. Besides, I am in a foreign land.
For strangers, it is better to be more cautious in what you say and do.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard that I said I wouldn't do it, the mayor immediately became anxious and furious.
"Mayor, don't worry, you have to think of a solution. There will always be a solution." Xu Qian and I played a bad role and the other a good role. The double act worked perfectly together.
"No matter what, you must help me with this. No one here will go to the ghost cave, and no matter how much money I pay, I can't hire anyone, so all my hopes are on you!" the mayor said.
When Xu Qian said this, she was immediately overjoyed.
Maybe he knew there was something interesting about this matter and was just trying to strike while the iron was hot.
I still shook my head and said: "I am a principled person. Since I said I don't want to help, I won't help. Mayor, if nothing happens, we will leave first."
"Oh, don't go!" After hearing what I said, the mayor's face showed an anxious look, and he hurriedly came to stop me.
I frowned, pretending to be angry and said: "Mayor, I respect you because you are a leader, so I will give you some face. Don't push your nose or face, or I will complain to you!"
The mayor seemed to have seen that I really didn't want to help, so he no longer stopped me. Instead, he rushed in front of me and said with a straight face, "Young man, you may have forgotten that I am the mayor here."
I frowned and said, "What does that have to do with me?"
"Of course it has something to do with you." The mayor smiled and said, "If it were during the Republic of China, in our Tibetan town, I would be like a local emperor. Although I don't have that much power now, I have prestige here.
It’s still not a small thing. As long as I shout here that you are fugitives on the Internet, guess what will happen?”
"Are you threatening me?" After hearing this, my expression changed and I looked at the mayor warily.
"There's nothing I can do about it. It's obviously of no use to say it coolly. To be honest, I really don't want to do something so extreme, but you may not agree to it otherwise," the mayor said proudly.
I don’t know why, but looking at his face, I wanted to slap him. There are always some sanctimonious and ugly people in this society. I gasped and glared at him fiercely.
The mayor seemed to be shocked by my gaze. After all, I am a young and strong young man, and he is just an old mayor with half-grey hair. His physical condition has long been inferior to mine. His attitude softened again at this time.
Go down and say, "Young man, if you promise to help me, I will send you into the ghost cave. Otherwise, even if I let you go, you will not be able to enter the ghost cave."
"Why?"
"Think about it, since that ghost cave is so dangerous, it must be closely monitored!" The mayor said, "The town's police station specially sent two policemen to guard there day and night. Without a pass, what do you think?
It is simply impossible to enter the ghost cave."
I sneered, "Then how did your son get in?"
"It's very simple, because I am the mayor, so he can easily get in under my banner. Those damn policemen are getting paid by the army and not doing good things. I am so angry." The mayor said angrily.
When I saw that he didn't look like he was lying, I couldn't help but hesitate in my heart. If the facts were really the same as what he said, then with the strength of the few of us, it would really not be easy for us to enter the ghost cave.
There might be something evil in the cave, so I couldn't control my curiosity and decided to go in and have a look.
I thought about it and looked at the mayor warily, "Is it really just an ordinary jade pendant and nothing else?"
"Of course! If you want me to lie to you, you will curse my whole family to a bad death." The mayor gritted his teeth.
When I heard what he said, I believed him a little bit. After all, I once heard that Tibetans would not swear poisonous oaths because they believe that there is reincarnation and retribution in this world, and what they say will definitely come true.
Now since the mayor takes the whole family
If I swear on my own life, then this thing is most likely true.
My heart crossed, and I decided to agree to him, "In that case, let's ask Mayor Lin to take us to the ghost cave. But I have agreed in advance that although I promise you to find the jade pendant, if you can't find it, you can't."
Blame it on me, after all, who knows what will happen in that ghost cave!"
"Okay, everything is up to you, as long as you agree." The mayor looked at me excitedly and said, "Come on, I will take you to the ghost cave right away."
"Wait a minute." I shook my head and looked at the puzzled mayor and smiled, "Take us to eat authentic roasted whole lamb first. I have long heard that this thing is popular in Tibet. Why don't you come here?
It’s easy, of course it’s a feast for the eyes, and besides, if you eat and drink enough, you’ll have the strength to go to that ghost cave.”
I have to say that the roasted whole lamb in the town tastes really authentic. My mouth is full of oil. I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time. However, the mayor seemed very anxious and kept urging me. I looked at
The mayor is increasingly convinced that he is not a real person.
Now I can't help but wonder if he has really told me the truth. However, since I have agreed to him, according to my temperament, it is impossible to continue to talk nonsense at this time. Thinking of this, I can't help but regret it. I am just a poisonous person.
It's just an oath. It's the 21st century now and people's hearts are sinister. How could I agree so happily?
"Sister Qian, what do you think of the mayor?" On the way up the mountain, I deliberately followed Xu Qian and asked in a low voice.
Xu Qian glanced at me and said calmly, "I don't know."
"Sister Qian, are you hiding something from me?"
"Master Ciao, how is this possible? When did I hide this from you?" Unexpectedly, after I finished speaking, Xu Qian looked at me very seriously.
I was speechless in reply to this rhetorical question. I looked at it blankly and muttered, "No."
We walked like this for about half a day. With the physical strength of the few of us, we could climb directly from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The mayor's physical strength also surprised me. Among the three of us, the one with the best physical strength was
Xu Qian, followed by Sister Meng, Da Di and I are evenly matched.
It's just that the mayor is so old, and he can't breathe after climbing a mountain for so long, and his waist is straight, which makes me a little strange. But after all, Tibet is not a plain area, and the air here is thin. After reaching the top of the mountain, I
He was already lying on the ground like a limp lamb, unable to stand up again, panting heavily.
The sound of the wind is whistling in my ears. The far slope is covered with green, and large swaths of sheep are floating on it like clouds. The backs under the bows carry the peaceful dusk. This is the place closest to the sky, with the atmosphere that has been hovering for hundreds of years.
mystery.
At this time, I could already see the so-called ghost hole. The first time I saw it, I took a breath. The hole was very small, and a baby could probably get in easily, like
If adults want to get in, they have to draw back their waists and straighten their abdomens, and it takes a lot of effort to squeeze in.
In addition, around the entrance of the cave, there are plants such as ivy. The lush vegetation completely covers the entrance of the cave and covers a large area nearby. It is obviously a sunny day, but it is gloomy there.
, no sunlight penetrated, and it looked eerie.
