Chapter 37 Where the Ghost City is located in Mozhuang 2011
Early the next morning, we rushed to Master Liu's place, but Shen Xing had been waiting there long ago. He was wearing outdoor clothes and looked very energetic and beautiful, and there was no abnormality at all.
When she saw Brother Chengxin and me, she came up generously and greeted her, saying, "Hello."
This kind of performance shocked Brother Chengxin and I. We originally thought she should be a person who was not easy to get close to and was withdrawn, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Shen Xing's warm greeting made Brother Chengxin and me a little at a loss, but obviously, facing the woman Brother Chengxin adapted faster than me, he asked: "Where is Master Liu? Are we going up?"
"No need to go up, I'll take you there directly." Shen Xing said very simply.
"Then let's go?" I always feel a little too sudden.
"Didn't you see the clothes I'm wearing? You guys go and get a piece of it, oh, there is another most important thing to buy." Shen Xing replied.
Two hours later.
Our group of three went to the train station. The destination was a not-famous city, and this time the ghost market was located there.
But the clothes that Shen Xing took us to buy made us know that it is not that easy to go to the ghost market, otherwise what kind of outdoor clothing would be worn? Wearing this means that even if you don’t cross mountains and rivers, you have to climb mountains and wade.
Most importantly, she took us one by one to buy a mask and said it was very necessary.
These behaviors made Brother Chengxin and I even more curious about the ghost market.
That city is just a small city, and it is not a special festival. We simply bought a ticket for soft sleepers, and we could get on the train in two hours.
"This time at Location 5 is not too far away. If it is the most remote location 17, you have to set off half a month in advance." After getting on the train, Shen Xing let out a long sigh and said to us with relief.
Then he took out a soft cushion from his bag and leaned comfortably on the sleeper.
Faced with her cheerfulness, Brother Chengxin and I had deeper questions, and it felt like we had become a different person. Especially from the details of her taking out a soft pad, this girl pays great attention to the quality of life. How could she be willing to stay in Master Liu's dark and gloomy building?
But when it comes to other people's private affairs, we are not easy to ask questions after all, so we can only keep them in our hearts.
Shen Xing seemed to have not noticed our questions, or she didn't care at all, but she looked very happy along the way, playing cards with us enthusiastically, talking about the scenery along the way, and even telling jokes. The laughter like silver bells filled the sleeper's private room.
Brother Chengxin whispered to me: "This girl speaks cheerful and smart, has a good sense of knowledge, and has a rich knowledge. But she is not frivolous and has a steady appearance. If I hadn't seen her treacherous look before, I would have wanted to start."
I didn't react for a moment and asked Brother Chengxin in a daze: "What are you going to do?"
"Are you really stupid or fake? Of course you are chasing her." Brother Chengxin said to me as if he was disappointed.
OK, I'm so stupid.
The itinerary of the journey was not boring because of a wise and cheerful girl. On the morning of the next day, we suddenly arrived at the city where we were aiming.
This is just an ordinary small town, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is quite good.
When we arrived in this city, Shen Xing took us for a simple lunch, bought some convenient dry food, and hired a local tricycle to carry us all the way to the suburbs. At first, there were sparse villagers' houses here, but in the end, there were only continuous mountains left.
The driver of the tricycle was not curious about us coming here, but just collected money and said to us: "Don't look at our small place, with good mountains and rivers, otherwise how could there be many people like you who would come to us to climb up and camp in the near future?"
We smiled and didn't explain. After knowing that the tricycle driver had gone away, Shen Xing said: "It seems that some people have arrived early. The ghost market will be mixed only when it is time, but you can exchange some things with people when you arrive early."
"You know a lot." Brother Chengxin said with a smile. After all, we were no longer restrained and spoke casually.
"Haha, let's go." Shen Xing didn't explain much. This girl could talk to you, but as long as she was involved in a little bit of personal matter, she would always wisely bypass it.
This is a continuous mountain range, and the mountain is not difficult to move forward. However, there seems to be very few people coming here and there is no road. I feel that we have been moving forward in the thorns, but occasionally we will find the roads that others have walked, and the fires that have set up bonfires.
In this way, we said some irrelevant words along the way and walked forward. In the middle of the journey, we stopped to eat some dry food. We walked until evening, and it was still deep in the vast mountains. I climbed to a commanding height and saw the terrain. It seemed that we had already reached the center of the mountain range.
In the evening, while cooking simple instant noodles around the bonfire, Brother Chengxin asked Shen Xing: "You said you, a girl, and two of us, were in this wilderness in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid?"
Shen Xing held his chin with one hand and fiddled with the bonfire with the other, and said, "Since that year, I have been afraid of nothing. If you dare to do anything to me, at worst I will commit suicide. But Master Liu said that suicide seems to be a very sinful crime, and I will not choose easily. Don't force me, haha."
She smiled cheerfully, but Brother Chengqing and I were very surprised. Who would have such a light talk about the word "death"? Even if it was just a joke! Unfortunately, we couldn't ask. The knowledge of her along the way made us know that it would be useless to ask.
I didn't want to talk about this topic, so I asked, "When will I get to the place? It will be the 8th day of tomorrow, and the Ghost Market will open on the 9th."
"You will be here tomorrow afternoon. You are so lucky. This time the Ghost Market is open at location 5. I have been here before. There are also Master Liu who has to get me a detailed map to take you there. I remember that time when I came here, I was alone in this mountain. I heard the sounds everywhere at night. I was so scared that I dared not sleep. I kept telling myself not to cry and not to cry." After that, she smiled relaxedly, as if she was talking about other people's affairs.
Brother Chengxin and I were both silent. It was hard to imagine a girl. According to what she and Master Liu said, an ordinary girl dared to enter the vast mountains alone and spend the night inside.
How strong should I be so that I can't cry? Thinking of this, I have a little admiration for this girl named Shen Xing.
After having a simple supper, I was speechless all night. Several people took turns to watch the night and slept all night in front of the campfire. I didn’t feel that the night in the forest was particularly difficult early the next morning. The wet dew on my hair made me feel a little cold.
Fortunately, Shen Xing asked us to buy outdoor clothes in advance, otherwise this outfit would be swaying. Once it gets hot, won’t we catch a cold?
After a simple breakfast, we continued to move forward. As the mountains deepened, we could hardly see traces of human activities. Brother Chengxin walked along the way and shouted loudly, because some medicinal materials were often found in such mountains. Unfortunately, we were not here to collect herbs, and in a hurry, he could only shout loudly and then walk by regretfully.
And he said to me as self-comfortably: "I am leaving some genius treasures for future generations."
Shen Xing did not lie to us. In the afternoon, we climbed up a hillside and stood on the hillside. We suddenly saw a valley below the hillside, and there was a connected building in the valley. From a distance, many people were moving in that building.
"Are you surprised? It's just a waste utilization. This was used to be a place where troops were stationed. After the troops left, it became a place where ghost markets are opened. We walked around from behind, and we only walked for so long after walking in the mountains." Shen Xing explained with a smile.
Brother Chengxin and I looked at the valley and were shocked. We never thought that the ghost market would be in such a place.
