The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 75
The two sneaked back upstairs, waited for the sound of people walking downstairs, then went downstairs as if nothing had happened, greeted Zuo Yong's parents as if they had just woken up, and then washed up.

After Zuo Yong got up and the few of them finished their meal, Zhang Luo took his father to the town to see a doctor.

He didn't say it's okay, but when he said it, his father's face changed. He first shirked that he was much better, and he didn't need to go to the hospital to waste money.

However, Zuo Yong was not at home all year round, and he was worried about the health of his elderly parents, so he naturally refused to let it go, so he said that even if he recovered, he should go to the hospital for a check-up, for peace of mind.

But his father was extremely stubborn. No matter what Zuo Yong tried to persuade him, he just refused to go to the hospital. When he finally had no choice but to go, he called his mother for help.

Unexpectedly, the mother, who has always been sensible, stood on the side of his father uncharacteristically this time. In the end, Zuo Yong became anxious and said, "You want me to be happy outside worrying about death, right? Dad said he was recovering." Okay, okay, let's not go to the doctor, just go for a physical examination, so I can feel at ease?"

When Zuo Yong's parents heard what Zuo Yong said, they stopped talking and insisted not to go to the hospital.

"Grandma, please persuade Dad, I will go back to work in a few days, you two are getting older, and I'm not around, I usually can't take care of minor illnesses and pains, now you two And he refused to go to the hospital for an examination, how can I feel at ease if I work outside?" Seeing that his father was determined not to go to the hospital, Zuo Yong turned his head and began to lobby his mother.

The mother looked at Zuo Yong, then at her old man, finally sighed, tugged at the corner of his father's clothes, and said, "Forget it, tell the child."

Seeing this, Zuo Yong's heart jumped into his throat.I was afraid of hearing news of a serious illness from my parents.

Fortunately, it is not.

It turned out that several young people of the right age in the village have been married in recent years, and the old couple looked anxious at their son who had not moved at all.

But they also knew that it would be difficult for Zuo Yong to find a girlfriend while he was working outside, so they wanted him to go home and have a blind date.But this kid always said that he was busy with work, so this matter was procrastinated day by day.

Until some time ago, the old neighbors next door hugged their grandsons. The old couple looked at each other with jealousy, and went home to discuss it. Then they decided to lie to Zuo Yong that his father was sick and asked him to ask for leave to go home to visit him.

The old couple counted, plus the time for asking for leave and the Ching Ming holiday, it would take about a week anyway, this time is enough for Zuo Yong to go on a blind date.

After hearing his father's words, Zuo Yong felt as if ten thousand muddy horses galloped past, but seeing the faintly expectant eyes of his elderly parents, he could only nod his head in agreement.

Anyway, he doesn't have a girlfriend now, so it wouldn't be a bad thing if he could meet on a blind date.

After all, he has had enough dog food after being a single dog for more than 20 years.So, when it was past ten o'clock, Zuo Yong was taken by his father to visit the village, and by the way, he released the news that he was back for a blind date.

Yang Yang looked at Zuo Yong's helpless expression, and persuaded him: "Okay, okay, don't make such an expression. Your parents are doing it for you, maybe you won't have to eat dog food if you meet true love? Right? Young People, look away!"

For his behavior of standing and talking without back pain, Zuo Yong expressed deep contempt.

However, contempt is nothing but contempt, Yang Yang is his good brother no matter what, he finally came all the way to play at his home, of course he will do his best to arrange it.

But he will be dragged to go on a blind date, so he can't accompany Yang Yang everywhere, and Xiangxi is not like other places, there are many taboos and rules here, it's not convenient for him to wander around by himself.

Besides, Zhaizi is a mountain when he goes out, so he is also afraid that Yang Yang will get lost.At home, whether mother and they have any common language, so he thought about it, Zuo Yong finally found a little girl next door to take Yuan Mu and Yang Yang to play on the mountain.

Yang Yang originally wanted to shirk and say that he was too tired, and then go to bed to catch up on sleep, but seeing Zuo Yong's enthusiastic appearance, he thought that it was indeed a rare time for him to come, so he discussed with Yuan Mu, nodded, and agreed down.

After lunch and resting for a while, the little girl next door came calling, Yang Yang and Yuan Mu followed the little girl out and walked up the mountain.

Then the little girl introduced some customs of Xiangxi to them.Yang Yang didn't know why, but suddenly remembered the snake from last night, so he asked, "Do you have a lake here?"

"A lake? I heard from my grandfather that there is one, but it's in a very deep mountain. No one goes there now. I don't know the way."

When the little girl heard this, she frowned and replied: "But if you want to go, someday I will ask Brother Yong Yong to find someone who knows the way to take you there! But you must be prepared, it may take four or five years hours."

"Ah, there's no need for that." Yang Yang shook his head after hearing what the little girl said.Since the lake is so far away, no one should have seen the snake before.Even though he thought so, he was still a little worried.

Yuan Mu seemed to understand what he meant, so he said, "Well, do you have any legends here? Before I came here, I heard them say that you have falling holes or something. Is it true?"

"Pfft...you listen to nonsense on the Internet." The little girl laughed, and said indifferently, "Occasionally, the old people in the village talk about some cave gods, but I don't believe it. There are no ghosts in this world." Oh god, it's all superstition."

"Really? But some things are better to be believed than not to be believed." Yang Yang glanced at Yuan Mu behind him, and said to the little girl.

I thought, girl, you are so naive, one of the witnesses in front of you is a cave fairy, and the other is a monster!

When the little girl heard this, she nodded and said, "That's right. There are some things that science can't explain, but our village has always been safe and sound, and nothing strange has happened, so I haven't seen it." Slightly."

The little girl spread her hands and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the creek upstream of our village. There is a piece of land over there, which is only exposed in spring and summer. There are many flowers blooming on it, which is very beautiful. , there are still wild fruits to eat this season.”

After finishing speaking, he continued to lead them forward. Yang Yang took a look at the road, and found that it was similar to the road he and Yuan Mu took last night, but when they reached the middle of the mountain, the little girl led them around the side of the mountain. But Yuan Mu took him directly to a deeper mountain last night.

The three of them walked for a while, and chatted about some unimportant things during the period. Just when the little girl said that they would arrive in a while, Yang Yang and the others suddenly heard very noisy voices coming from the front, and there were some quarreling voices intermittently.

Yang Yang and the others walked over to take a look, and saw a group of people wearing jackets, hiking shoes and carrying camping equipment. There seemed to be about seven or eight people, both men and women, chattering about something.

Seeing someone coming, they immediately crowded around to explain the situation.After listening for a long time, Yang Yang finally realized that this group of people was a group of outdoor hiking enthusiasts, commonly known as donkey friends.

They came to Xiangxi for hiking a few days ago, but when they crossed the mountains and forests, they didn't know why the compass broke down, so they lost their way.The most unfortunate thing is that someone sprained his foot while he was still on the road.

Just now when they were arguing about the correct route, they saw Yang Yang and his group. After walking for several days, they finally saw someone. This group of people surrounded them as if they saw a savior.

After listening to what they said, the little girl nodded and said, "Then you are really lucky. We are the only village nearby, and the other villages are far away. It takes a day to walk across the mountain."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Yang Yang and Yuan Mu behind him, and asked, "If you are not in a hurry, I will take them back to the village first and then take you there?"

"Forget it, how tiring it is to go back and forth. It's the same if we go another day." Hearing what the little girl said, Yang Yang shook his head and said, "Let's go back with you." After finishing speaking, he looked at Yuan Mu. With a glance, the latter also nodded and said: "That's right, just treat it as a good deed every day."

Seeing what the two said, the little girl smiled happily, turned her head and said to the group of hiking enthusiasts: "Come on, follow me, be careful with your steps, and when you reach the stockade, you can find someone to drive you to the town. "

Several mountaineering enthusiasts expressed their thanks immediately after hearing this, and then helped the wounded to follow the little girl, and slowly returned to the way Yang Yang and the others had come.Yang Yang and Yuan Mu followed behind the large army, thinking that it was time to go back to sleep.

At this moment, a strange and surprised voice suddenly sounded: "Yang Yang?"

Yang Yang, who was called by his name, was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head in confusion, thinking, does anyone know me here?It turned out that I actually found an acquaintance!None other than hearts.

Seeing Hongxin's surprised look, Yang Yang also laughed, and walked quickly to say hello, "Hongxin!"

It's okay if he doesn't call, but when he calls Hongxin's name, Yuan Mu's mood, which was originally very good, suddenly turns bad.

Especially after seeing Yang Yang walking towards Hongxin quickly, he also followed him quickly, and asked casually beside him: "Is this the Hongxin who saved you that night?"

As soon as Yuan Mu's words came out, Yang Yang instantly remembered everyone's analysis that night, and suddenly felt that the matter was too coincidental.They only arrived in Xiangxi yesterday, and today they met Hongxin who lost his way. If it is fate, they will almost catch up with Xu Xian and White Snake who met on the broken bridge, right?
Yang Yang was originally happy to see his savior, but suddenly became awkward.

But Hongxin didn't seem to feel Yang Yang's awkwardness at all, and greeted him affectionately, and then walked with him at the end of the line, chatting about unimportant topics.

Because the way back is down the mountain, it is faster than when we came, and after walking for more than half an hour, we can already see the stockade.A group of people cheered and speeded up.

When I entered the stockade, I happened to meet Zuo Yong, so the little girl told Zuo Yong what happened. After listening, Zuo Yong enthusiastically helped find a car to take the group of donkey friends to the town.

After a while, the car arrived, and the donkey friends were queuing up to get on the car. Zuo Yong turned around and found that Yang Yang and Hong Xin were talking. , In the end, he insisted on leaving someone for a meal. Yang Yang's face turned green when he heard it.

However, Hong Xin agreed happily, looked at Zuo Yong, and said with a smile: "Then I will bother you."

Yang Yang looked at this picture, and for some reason, his heart skipped a beat.I feel that this holiday, there must be no peaceful days.
