Chapter 123 Against the River

When the old man heard my answer, he didn't say anything. Instead, he stared blankly at the messy things in the room.

After a while, the old man said, "Are you hungry?"

I instinctively wanted to shake my head, but I heard my stomach growl.

So I laughed awkwardly and said, "I'm hungry."

How can you not be hungry?
It has been at least 24 hours since he was caught.

The last time I had a meal was at the Aixinjueluo Hotel. I was only halfway through breakfast when I started having sex with the short fat man and the green-eyed man.

I haven’t eaten anything until now.

The old man walked quickly into the back room without saying a word.

Then there was the sound of clinking pots and pans, followed by the sound of sizzling hot oil.

In this hill of mass graves lined with cemeteries, this human atmosphere of fireworks almost made me forget the dangers around me.

After a while, the old man came out with two bowls of noodles, handed me a bowl and said, "Let's eat something first."

"After eating, I'll tell you how to get down the mountain. You are the manager of Nanshan Funeral Home and you are not suitable to stay here with me."

Without waiting for my answer, the old man started to eat loudly.

The old man was very awkward when eating noodles, he made loud noises, and he also liked to chew garlic.

But I didn't care. This was a lifesaver. Not to mention that the sound of eating was too loud. Even if I licked my feet while eating, I couldn't say anything.

But then again, even though it was just a bowl of clear soup noodles, I don’t know whether it was because I was hungry or because the old man was so good at his craftsmanship, but I thought it was really delicious.

The two of us sat at the table and ate the noodles. Unknowingly, the chill and yin energy in my body were all gone, my stomach was full, and my strength was restored.

After eating, I took the initiative to pick up the dishes and ran to the back to wash the dishes.

There is no running water here, but there is a water tank next to it to store water.

The items in the kitchen are also very simple, just a liquefied gas tank and a gas stove.

Although the kitchen is a bit small, it is clean and tidy. It can be seen that the old man usually pays attention to hygiene.

After finishing my work, I found that the old man was still sitting in front of the table in a daze.

I said softly: "Old man."

The old man came back to his senses. His face was a little gloomy, but his temper and attitude were pretty good.

He said to me: "You can leave after dawn."

"After you go out, there is a narrow path. If you see a tomb blocking the road, turn left. If you see a big willow tree, turn right."

"Wait until you see a small river, then wade across the river. Remember, you must wade across the river, otherwise something will leave with you."

"After crossing the river, there are no more tombs. If you have a mobile phone, you should be able to receive signals there."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a mobile phone. Don't walk along the river bank. The further away from the river, the easier it is to find the road. Once you get to the road, you'll be fine."

I listened to his words carefully and did not dare to forget them at all.

But I still couldn't help but ask: "Old man, Graveyard Mountain... what the hell is this place?"

"How come I haven't heard of it before?"

The Graveyard Mountain covers such a large area, and there is also the Ghost King and the Corpse King inside.

No matter what, this place should not remain anonymous.

But why have I never heard from my boss?
There is also White Curse. Although I have never heard his name, he must be a wanted criminal in Middle-earth.

Judging from the conversation between the two, Bai Curse should also have walked out of Graveyard Mountain.

The old man lit a cigarette and said in a somewhat rude tone: "Why are you asking so many questions! Just squint on the chair for a while! I'll leave as soon as daybreak!"

I saw that he was a little impatient and I didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Anyway, the boss has been in the industry for so long, what else doesn’t he know?
Even if you don’t know, you’ll know by asking around, right?Anyway, it's not too late before dawn, so I just sit on the chair and squint my eyes to rest.

In fact, I'm tired and sleepy now, plus I've just eaten and drank enough, I really feel like sleeping.

In my daze, I seemed to hear whispering voices, just like the voices of dead souls I heard in the mass graves before.

So I opened my eyes suddenly and realized that everything was normal around me, the orange candles were still burning, but the old man was awakened by my action of getting up.

He looked up out the window and found that it was already dark.

So he stood up and urged: "Let's go!"

I said to the old man: "Old man, you saved my life this time. But I still don't know your name."

You must know that I am not an ungrateful person. The old man definitely helped me a lot in getting out of the graveyard this time. It is no exaggeration to say that he was my savior.

I have made up my mind that when I go back this time, I must find a way to thank the old man, and I must know his name at least.

Unexpectedly, the old man sneered: "Little guy, please be a good boy. Don't say your name in the graveyard! You will be haunted by evil spirits!"

I was startled.

Only then did I remember that this hut actually belonged to the interior of Graveyard Mountain.

Just by looking at the runes on the wall, you can tell that the surroundings are definitely not peaceful.

I remembered that Bai Ju called my name before, and the old man called Bai Ju's name again, but since he didn't say it by himself, it should be fine.

Even if something happens, I guess with Bai Curse's ability, he won't be afraid of these monsters and ghosts.

At that moment, I said seriously: "Old man, no matter what, you saved my life! Don't worry, I'm not someone who doesn't know how to repay!"

After finishing speaking, I bowed deeply to the old man, then turned around and walked outside.

Kindness without saying thanks.

Saying thank you at this time is actually a bit useless, but I will definitely return this kindness to him in the future.

It was already bright outside, but because of the heavy gloom in Luanfen Mountain, the surroundings still looked misty.

I kept going along the narrow path, and when I saw a tomb blocking my way, I turned left.When I saw a big willow tree blocking the road, I turned right again.

Halfway through, I saw another tomb blocking the center.

At this point, I should actually turn left, but there are traces of a tricycle running over me on the right.

It should be left behind by the old man's old electric tricycle.

I hesitated for a moment, then turned left as the old man told me. Not long after walking, I heard the sound of the rushing river.

Next to Xiao He, there is a simple stone bridge.

If you follow normal people's thinking, you must take the stone bridge to cross the river.

But I still remembered the old man’s instructions, found a gentler slope, and waded across the water.

The river water is not as cold as expected, but has a sense of warmth.

I immediately understood that this was a river against the current.

There are basically two sources of rivers.

One is formed by water flowing from high mountains gradually gathering together.One is formed by the upward surge of underground river water.

The water flowing down from the mountains flows from top to bottom, while the underground river flows from bottom to top, so it is called the reverse river.

There are many things to pay attention to in Nishui River, which is divided into Yang River and Yin River.

Hot springs are a typical condition of Yanghe.

Therefore, the source of this river is probably connected to the earth's veins, so it feels warm.

Such a river can block the souls of the dead.
