Chapter 86 Chapter 3 The Rumor of the Tiger

Because we planned to spend the night in the mountains of Gulong, we took all our luggage out the door in the morning. The proprietress of the hotel spoke a few words in Guangxi's Guiliu dialect, but we couldn't quite understand them.So, the proprietress asked again in Mandarin, "Where are you going out so early?" "Gu Long!" I replied with a smile, "Running so far, how can I be worthy of my eyes if I don't go out for a walk?" "You go to Gulong? If you go, don't go into the mountains, there are dirty things there!" The proprietress said seriously, "You just go to the river where Gulong is floating."

"Dirty things? There must be ghosts in broad daylight." After I finished speaking, I thought to myself, the proprietress probably wanted us to stay in the hotel for a few more days so that she could earn a few more taels of silver.I heard that the locals like to blackmail people from other places to visit. "It's true, everyone there said they've seen it, and..." The proprietress stopped mysteriously at this point. We were all waiting for the proprietress' next words, but she held back her excitement and refused to speak. It was only later that I suddenly realized, so I asked in a very cooperative way: "And what, tell us quickly."

After the proprietress tasted the pleasure of being questioned, she said softly: "People who live there often hear the sound of tigers. There are tigers in the mountains!" "It's just a sound, maybe it's just a bird calling." I replied in disbelief. Although there are hundreds of thousands of mountains in Guangxi, high mountains, dense forests, deep valleys and dangerous peaks, there were still many bandits here in 1950 in the early days of the founding of New China. Migrate it.However, I have also heard that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were wild tigers or strange creatures in the deep mountains and wild forests of Guangxi, but now it is the 21st century, will there still be those strange things?

"How do you know it must be a tiger?" Xinhong heard that the proprietress knew something, so he asked patiently. "My mother-in-law saw it. Her house is there. I saw it in the field once. It happened a few days ago!" The proprietress said seriously, it seemed that she was not trying to scare us. The proprietress saw that we believed her story, so she opened up the chatter box and said: "A few days ago, there was an old man from other places who also lived with me. Later, he conquered Gu Long, and he hasn't come back yet. I don't think so." scare you."

"K? What does it mean to have a Gu Long?" I couldn't understand, so I asked. "Oh, look at my urgency, I said Guiliu's words, and Ke means to go here." The boss smiled heartily. "How do you know that the old man hasn't come back?" Xinhong asked carefully. When I heard Xinhong's question, my heart started beating wildly. Could it be that old curator Cha also stayed here?So, I blurted out: "That old man's surname is Cha?" "How do you know? Anyway, when you register, the ID card says check, unless his ID card is fake." The proprietress smiled embarrassedly after she finished speaking, and said, "Just now I accidentally said that I showed my mouth, don't worry , Those who come to live here keep their information confidential, so I didn’t pay attention just now.”

"Wait a minute, you just said that the old man hasn't come back yet, how do you know?" Xinhong asked carefully. "Oh, I don't know if he has already checked out. The problem is that his things have been left here with me, and he hasn't come back to get them. It's been a few days. I'm still thinking about calling the police." The proprietress complained. Said. When we heard the narration of the proprietress, we were all in a state of agitation. We didn't expect that the old curator Zha really came here.A person disappeared more than 20 years ago. If he could have reported to the police, why should he wait until the old curator Zha finds it by himself?What they did here back then must have been shady, otherwise they wouldn't have been so low-key.Since we can't see the light, of course we have to keep the proprietress safe. If we call the police, it will be difficult for us to go into the mountains to find the truth.After finally convincing the proprietress, we hurried out.The proprietress said that if the old curator Zha didn't come back in a few days, he would call the police. We only have a few days, and there are at least a thousand mountains here. Finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.If there were really tigers in the mountains, the old curator Zha probably swallowed them up.I then shook my head again, this should not be possible, old curator Zha has old bones all over his body, tigers should be very picky eaters.However, I was worried again. If the tiger was really hungry, it would chew on the old bones.

"Don't stand there stupidly, come and find a car!" Xinhong shouted from the side, it seems that he couldn't find a car to Gulong. "What's the matter, is no one willing to go?" I walked over and asked. "I don't know why, but I asked several taxis, but none were willing to go." Xinhong said helplessly. "If you don't go even if you give money, don't you feel disgusted if you have money?" I was very surprised. At this time, a taxi drove towards us, so Xinhong stopped it, and after several pleadings with the taxi brother, he was willing to take us to Gulong.After getting in the car, the taxi quickly drove out of the city.We had just left the urban area, and both sides of the road turned into green mountains and green waters. It seems that there are mountains at most here, and flat places are rarely seen.The taxi driver saw that our luggage was so big that he asked us if we were going to go rafting in Gulong, and said that the rafting there was different from other places and had a special flavor.Xinhong honestly said that we were going into the mountains, so we brought some necessary things.The taxi driver was taken aback when he heard it, and said, "You...you...are you with them?"

"What are you guys, guys, tell me clearly!" Because the wind blowing in from the car window was too loud, I yelled loudly, but I didn't expect to scare the driver brother. Could it be that the driver brother here Are you timid? "It's nothing, I'll take you in, don't be angry!" The taxi driver suddenly became frightened, which made me feel guilty that I shouldn't have yelled loudly. "Brother, don't worry, we're just here for fun, and we don't mean any harm." Xinhong explained kindly. "It's not the best, I thought I met that group of people again." Hearing Xinhong's kind explanation, the driver brother immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Could it be that you met someone who specializes in robbery before?" I saw that the driver brother was so nervous, so I guessed wildly, "Don't worry, we don't rob cars, we are not interested in cars!" "Then you didn't bring a gun, did you?" the driver brother asked cautiously. "What are you doing with that thing? I'm tired of life? If the police catch me, I won't be able to squat in a cage for a few years." I replied with a smile. "Why do you ask so, we are not as bad as you think." Xinhong also laughed. "It doesn't look like you," the driver brother glanced at us in the rearview mirror, and continued, "I also took two men and one woman to Gulong a few days ago, but then..."

The driver brother stopped hesitantly when he said this, we only heard half of it, and now he suddenly stopped and felt uncomfortable, so I urged: "What happened later, you should tell me quickly, we are not familiar with the place where we live, no I'll tell. Don't worry!" "That time, I dragged two male foreigners and one female Chinese to Gulong, but unexpectedly they..." The driver brother stopped here. "What's wrong with them, don't be surprised, okay, let's finish talking at once!" I complained. "Originally there were many foreigners who came here for tourism, and I didn't pay attention at that time." The driver brother recalled, and said, "At that time, a call came from my home, saying that my wife was about to give birth, and I had to go back quickly. I happened to I pulled them to the intersection of Gulong, so I wanted to tell them to get out of the car, and then take another car to go in. But then, they took out their guns and forced me to drive in, alas!"

"Guns? No way, is it difficult to call a car again? Could it be that they..." I stopped talking at this point. "No, look, it's here!" The driver brother's speed immediately slowed down. We looked out of the car, and there was a small intersection beside the wide road. It turned out that the driver brother was talking about this place, and we had to drive into the small road to go to Gulong.According to the driver brother, Gu Long had to go into a deep place in the mountains. At that time, they forced him to drive in, but the driver brother was helpless.He also said that if he didn't want to go back to see the newborn child properly, he would have wanted to fight them.The driver brother guessed that they came to illegally hunt tigers, so they brought guns.Now, when the car is driven in, the path is very bumpy and the road surface is very rough. It seems that Gulong has not been fully developed, and the secret of more than 20 years ago may still be well preserved. "Tiger? You don't want to tell us that there are tigers in the mountains, do you?" I smiled wryly, just after leaving the hotel, another person came to scare us. "It's true, many people have said so, and some people have seen it!" The driver brother said seriously. "Then have you seen it?" Xinhong asked. "I don't have a chance to see me. I drive every day, so I don't have a chance, but I have a tiger skin!" The driver brother became proud when he said this. "You haven't seen a tiger's tiger skin, it's pretty good at blowing it!" I laughed out loud. "It was passed down from my grandfather. Look at my cushion. It is made of tiger skin. I think tiger skin can keep you safe, so I used it as a talisman when driving." The driver brother said seriously. After hearing what the driver said, Xinhong and I stared at the cushion on his buttocks carefully. I even touched it specially. It was really made of leather, but it was a little old.It seems that there were tigers in this place before, but that doesn't mean there are still tigers now.If it really dares to come out to scare me, I will give it a quick knife, and let it go down to the underworld to scare the king of Hades. After looking at the tiger skin cushions, we straightened up and looked at the scenery outside the car window. We were about to speak when we heard a low-pitched growl.
