Chapter 5 Suicide Holy Land
After all, Lao Xu is his own leader, and he doesn't want to make it too clear, and Song Jiang can't continue to ask, but he always believes in one thing, that is, it is impossible for a bookstore to disappear and reappear out of thin air, so this second-hand bookstore must have What unknown secret exists...

Considering that Song Jiang was "little" frightened when he was on the night shift for the first time, Director Xu gave him a day off the next day, and told him that every time he had something to do on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, Let Song Jiang be on the night shift again, and he can just work on the day shift for the rest of the time.

Although Song Jiang said a few polite words to thank Uncle Xu for taking care of him on the surface, he was full of doubts about the night shift, why couldn't he go out at night?Why can't I and the delivery boy find the door of the bookstore?And why is Lao Xu only busy on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year?
Although the mystery of the bookstore has not been solved for the time being, Song Jiang's life will continue. Although he can basically live and feed by working in the bookstore, he is a person with pursuit after all, so he has to continue to find creative inspiration...

At noon that day, when he was chatting in an Internet writer's QQ group, he heard a guy with the pseudonym "Shuanghua Eryuehong" say that on the famous tourist attraction Thunder Mountain, there is a scenic spot that has been secretly banned for a long time. It is a well-known holy place for suicide. If you have no creative inspiration, you might as well go there for a walk, maybe you will be able to write and think after you come back.

The other party is not interested in the speaker, but Song Jiang is interested in the listener. When he thinks of his poor subscriptions, he is anxious to get angry. He has a toothache. Give the "suicide holy place" a try, maybe you can turn a tram into a motorcycle! !
Just do what you say, Song Jiang asked Director Xu for three days off the next day, but when the other party heard that the place he was going to was Thunder Mountain, he pinched his fingers and said, "Xiao Song, I see you Recently, Yintang has turned black, it is best not to do things like going up into the water these few days!"

But Song Jiang has always been a staunch atheist, and never believed in numerology and metaphysics, so he said amusedly, "Uncle Xu, I'm just going to the wild to collect scenery and find some creative inspiration... Don't worry, three days later I'll be right back to work."

Director Xu looked at Song Jiang's back and shook his head and sighed, "Oh...he's a short-lived ghost again, and he's even worse than the last one."

After asking for leave, Song Jiang went home and simply packed his luggage and got on the tourist bus to Thunder Mountain. Before leaving, he wanted to call his aunt, but when he thought that his aunt had heard that he was looking for creative inspiration, he would definitely be confused. If he wanted to scold him for not doing his job wrong, he simply didn't make this call.It's just that what Song Jiang didn't expect was that he escaped death during this trip, and it directly opened a new chapter in his life...

It was already noon when the bus arrived at its destination, so Song Jiang hurriedly found a small restaurant in the scenic area to have something to eat after getting off the bus, and asked the locals about the holy place of suicide.

The owner of the small restaurant is very hospitable. When he heard that Song Jiang wanted to inquire about the holy place of suicide, he said mysteriously, "Normally people don't know about it. The place is called Tiger Leaping Cliff. It was always open to tourists in the first few years. Well, then I don’t know why... people always go there to seek death, some of them are dead, and some of them are not, but every time there is a lot of trouble, and a bunch of people from the police and firefighters go to the rescue. Later, the scenic spot is in charge People really couldn't afford it, so they directly blocked that scenic spot. Don't say it, this trick really works. Since Tiger Leaping Cliff was blocked, there has never been a death or life incident. .”

After hearing this, Song Jiang asked curiously, "Boss, how exactly did that tiger jump off the cliff? Can you find it?!"

After hearing this, the hotel owner's expression changed and he said, "Young man, I think you are young and handsome, why are you so hard on yourself?!"

As soon as Song Jiang heard that the boss misunderstood him, he quickly explained, "I'm not going to commit suicide... I just want to go there to take some photos. By the way, I'm writing horror novels and I want to find some creative materials."

After hearing this, the hotel owner gave Song Jiang a lot of attention, and said with a curled lip, "Now there is really everything, and it's okay to tell you, because the place is not difficult to get to, but even if I tell you, you won't be able to get in." Ah, didn't I say that before? That place has been closed long ago, and tourists can't go up at all."

Song Jiang heard that the boss's tone was not strict, so he said with a smile, "You just tell me how to get there, and I don't have to go up, just take a few photos at the entrance to find some inspiration..."

The hotel owner took out a tourist map from the counter as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile, "Why don't you buy a local guide map, it will be easier to find..."

Song Jiang understood immediately after hearing this, and bought the map without saying a word. Then the hotel owner pointed on the map and told Song Jiang exactly how to get to Tiger Jumping Cliff.

It's just that no one noticed that when the two met and circled the exact location of Tiger Leaping Cliff on the tourist map, a diner sitting in the corner also silently wrote down what the two of them said...

It was a tall and thin man, about 30 years old, with sharp facial features that made it hard to forget at a glance, but for some reason, there was an indescribable melancholy between the brows of this man.

Song Jiang bid farewell to the boss after eating, and walked out of the restaurant happily, but he soon found that things were not as simple as he thought, because he didn't know how to read maps at all... To put it bluntly, Song Jiang is a road idiot, Leaving the one-acre three-point land that I usually come and go to, there is no distinction between east, west, north and south at all!

After wandering on the side of the road for a long time, Song Jiang didn't know which direction to go. He wanted to ask someone, but he didn't dare to ask anyone casually. After all, the place he was going to was the forbidden area of ​​Thunder Mountain. It would be troublesome to ask the staff here.

Song Jiang looked around for a long time, but he didn't even see half of the tourists... Just when he didn't know where to go, suddenly a familiar man passed in front of him, and he looked like a tourist in his clothes. , So Song Jiang immediately stopped the man, "Brother, do you know where North is?"

After being stopped, the man stood there for a moment, then raised his finger and pointed to a hilltop in the distance and said, "Over there is North..."

Before Song Jiang could say thank you, the man got into an off-road vehicle and drove away in the opposite direction.
