Lin Kui "invited" the young men and women from the chamber of commerce who greeted us early, and took possession of this treasure ship by himself, saying that he would accompany the distinguished guests to tour the scenery here.
As a result, Siyan and I were immediately looked at by everyone, and they kept guessing about our identity.
I said that as a doctor, how could you deceive the feelings of the masses?
Lin Kui said: "The mountain breeze is simple and the people of Jiangcheng are famous for their hospitality.
Didn't you see that the Fen wine placed at the stern of the boat is enough to kill a person?
How could we escape so easily without scaring them."
Only then did I notice the stern.
The cabin was filled with wine jars, so he quickly thanked Lin Kui.
Si Yan had never seen such a lively floating market.
It seemed that he had even forgotten the purpose of his trip.
He just bargained with vendors on other ships and bought a bunch of useless handicrafts.
"Now is the peak period of the evening market.
Our boat is too eye-catching and we can't sail it.
Let's have dinner first.
Later, we will rent a small boat to dock.
I will take you to the stilt building to ask about Shirey Yang and the others. information."
The Diaojiaolou in Shuizhai is equivalent to our teahouse.
It gathers guests from all over the world and is the place where news circulates the most in Jiangcheng.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you dare to walk around inside, the next day, even the newspaper sellers in the city will know how many acres of land you have in your hometown.
So going up to the stilted building to inquire about information was the most convenient option.
We ate the bacon cooked by my mother on the water, and cooked a pot of Fenjiu wine in the small stove on the boat.
When the moon came up and the stilted building was lit up with red lanterns indicating that it was open for business, we found a small awning boat to go ashore. .
I don’t know if it was the shadow left by the South China Sea.
I was restless on the boat.
It wasn’t until I stepped ashore that I felt a sense of security.
The road in Jiangcheng Water Village is narrower than the river, and most of the stilted buildings along the bank are half-standing in the water.
The free water area downstairs can be used for boating or opening a shop.
Even in the southern region, known as the water town, it is rare to see such a scene.
Lin Kui introduced that the road we are taking now is South Street in Jiangcheng.
Go further, pass a set of stone steps and turn to the East Street.
There are merchants on South Street and people living on East Street, but most people are still used to living on the water.
The stilted building with red lanterns and gold tassels that we are about to enter is the largest wine shop in the area.
The wine shop does not have a signboard, but whenever the word "diaojiaolou" is mentioned in the local area, it must be referring to this place.
I looked at the pedestrians along the way.
Most of them were dressed in black clothes and blue trousers.
Some of them were carrying wild products on their shoulders.
I knew at a glance that they were ethnic minority hunters who had come to the city to exchange money.
There are also Han Chinese who share the same path as us.
We all live in a foreign land.
Even if we don't know each other far away, we can't help but feel a sense of intimacy and smile back from a distance.
Lin Kui pulled both of us and said, "Don't be so sentimental there.
There are a lot of scammers here.
In Jiangcheng, the number of Han people who die every year is not hundreds, but dozens."
I was shocked and asked How could he do this.
Lin Kui said: "Wherever there are people, there are conflicts.

The sky is high here and the emperor is far away.
Without a few people, who will care.
Killing people to steal wealth, or just to vent their anger.
Deceive into the dark, wipe the neck, Throw it into the water again, genius will know.
You dressed as tourists are the easiest targets for others to attack.
Don't look around when you go up to the stilted building."
Qin Siyan was dumbfounded when he heard this.
He probably didn't expect that in a place with such a pleasant scenery, such a business of killing people and stealing goods would be possible, and it would be regarded as a common thing.
He immediately followed me without saying another word.
I looked up at the big red lantern in front of the stilted building, and for some reason I became nervous.
Mr.
Lin laughed and led the two of us up the bamboo ladder with ease.
Listening to the creaking sound under our feet and looking at the crowds of people in the building, I suddenly had a hunch that this journey might be possible.
It will be more difficult than imagined.
This stilted building, which Lin Kui said was the number one building in Jiangcheng, can't be seen from a distance, but if you really enter its gate, you will understand what it means to be "number one".
As soon as I entered the door, I almost fainted from the crowd of people rushing in the building.
Good guy, the 100-square-meter shop was filled with large red-lacquered tables, and every table was full of guests.
In the mountains, people are no more pretentious than those in the city.
Everyone is drinking until they are red in the face.
Many people have already gone bare-chested, holding coarse porcelain bowls in their hands, and drinking wine is no different from drinking water.
For a moment, my eyes were filled with heads and I didn’t know where to look.
Siyan asked: "With so many people here, won't the building collapse?"
Before Lin Kui could answer, a strong man walking past us said, "Why won't the building collapse?
It has collapsed twice this year alone.
Ha.
Haha, I fell into the water, I don’t know how lively it is.”
After saying that, he ran away with the wine jar.
I saw that there were mostly drunken lunatics here, and I couldn't help but be suspicious of the news.
After Qin Siyan experienced the fight in the Peruvian bar, he was very taboo about such scenes and kept lingering at the entrance of the bamboo building.
I looked at the crowd inside and outside, but I didn't seem to find any useful information.
Lin Kui slapped us both: "What's the use of looking around, we have to look at the problem deeply."
After saying that, he led us into the crowd.
As soon as I entered the wall, I heard a lot of people inside, and cheers came from time to time.
If I looked carefully, I saw a thin old man wearing a long green shirt, sitting cross-legged on the big red table and talking nonstop.
Wearing a straw hat on his head, his face could not be seen clearly.
He was shaking his head and talking lively, and the onlookers applauded him from time to time.
After listening for a long time, I couldn't understand clearly what he was saying.
I only knew that what he said was definitely not Mandarin.
Lin Kui was not surprised and explained that the old man was from the Miao village.
He often walked around several nearby villages and made a living by telling stories.
He spoke in the local dialect and was talking about the monster fox that happened near the Miao land.
It was not surprising that we couldn't understand it.
Although I didn’t know which legend the old man was telling, I saw that the audience were all in high spirits.
It seemed that the story must be very exciting.
I also thought that since the old man traveled all the way around the country, his knowledge must be quite extensive, so I asked Lin Kui asked if he could ask him to ask some questions on his behalf.

Lin Kui asked me if I wanted to find out the whereabouts of Bai Yanweng.
I shook my head: "It's about the man-eating beast on Yangshan Mountain.
To be honest, I have seen a lot of strange monsters, but after this trip to Yangshan Mountain, I really have too many doubts.
If nothing else, it just has a pie face. , only has a big mouth and no eyes or nose, which is a rare anecdote in the world.
I heard that this old man talks about ghosts and strange things, so I want to ask for help to see if there is any solution. " Lin Kui summoned the waiter in the store to whisper something, and then said to me: "Old Man Guo's jokes are the signature here, and they are getting hot right now.
We can't stop.
Let's wait in the private room upstairs.
He will come up soon."
I knew this was a favor to Mr.
Lin, so I quickly thanked him, called Si Yan, and followed Lin Kui to the second floor.
Different from the liveliness downstairs, the private rooms on the second floor seemed much deserted.
Xiao Zhao, the waiter who led the way, said: "Not all businessmen coming and going are rough people from the mountains.
Our private rooms here are all elegant and elegant, looking at the moon by the water."
"You see, most of the food has already been taken out before the meal is served."
Xiao Zhao took us into one of the private rooms and poured tea attentively.
I asked him if a fat, talkative, thick-skinned man had been here recently with a pretty girl.
He recalled something and said: "Oh, people come and go here every day, at least there are about a hundred or so.
I really can't remember the two people you mentioned.
If you can explain it in more detail, I will ask someone to ask. ask" I told him their names again, and Xiao Zhao patted his chest: "With names, everything will be easier.
The three of you sit here for a while, and I'll be back when I go."
As soon as he left, he looked around and said, "Why are children still employed here?
The little waiter just now looked like he was under fifteen years old."
Lin Kui took a sip of fragrant tea: "Work-study program, his mother left early, father went to the mountains to collect medicine last year and broke his legs.
Now he is lying at home, a disabled person.
There are two younger sisters to raise at home.
In Jiangcheng In this place, most children have learned two words, and after learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, they go out to help their parents set up stalls to earn money, which is nothing surprising. " Siyan expressed his inability to understand this, and Lin Kui waved his hand: "Jiangcheng is pretty good here, but the Miao Village a little further away is inaccessible all year round, and the aborigines there don't even know big characters.
So what, it's not like living forever.
It's over.
I heard that there is still a chieftain in the area, and the people are living a hard life before liberation.
I still say that everyone has their destiny, and it is useless to talk about it. " When Lawyer Qin heard this, he became more stubborn again and grabbed Lin Kui and said that he wanted to "research" academic issues carefully.
The two of them seemed to be extremely polite people on weekdays, but when they got into an argument about who was right and who was wrong, it was like taking rat poison.
They had to argue until their faces turned red and they couldn't even try to persuade them.
I had no choice but to open the door of the private room and go out for some air.
I squatted in the corner at one end of the corridor, thinking about how to find the whereabouts of Fatty and the others.
I asked about it when I got ashore.
Jiangcheng is different from Kunming.
It is a water village where many ethnic groups live together.
Except for the township offices set up by the government, other public facilities basically retain the self-reliance and self-sufficiency management mode of local residents.
In other words, the medical shops here will not pay attention to the Wuhe Chaotian brand at all.
So how can Shiry Yang and the others leave a message for me?
In case there is no news from Xiao Zhao, what should be the next step?
Just when I was thinking about it, my head hurt, and the bamboo building under my feet suddenly began to shake rhythmically, and soon , Xiao Zhao's voice came along with the footsteps climbing up the stairs.
I thought to myself, this guy can do it.
In just one cigarette, he actually brought someone here.
I quickly put out the cigarette butt and prepared to stand up from the corner.

But before he even lifted his feet, he heard a rather familiar voice.
"This business depends entirely on you.
Today I, Mr.
Yang, will be the host.
Come, come, come."
I was shocked.
The voice was thick and high, with a thick southern Fujian accent.
Adding the words "Yang Erlao", I took a sneak peek through the bamboo gap.
Sure enough, it was Yang Erpi, the tall and muscular leader of the Cao Gang wearing a mink hat.
This old guy has never appeared on the streets of Nanjing since he took away the tiger eye beads.
Unexpectedly, I met him today in Jiangcheng, Yunnan, thousands of miles away.
My impression of this person was not good, and I felt there was no need to go out of my way to say hello.
I took another look and saw that the guests following him were a man and a woman, all dressed in Miao family clothes.
The man had a murderous look on his face, and he looked like he was probably in his forties; the woman was a little younger, with an ordinary appearance, and wouldn't attract any attention if she fell into the crowd.
These two people didn't seem to have any business dealings with Yang Erpi.
How come this old guy, who was usually arrogant, was so respectful to these two children of the Miao family.
Although I was a little curious, but then I thought, I already had enough troubles, why bother to provoke him anymore?
It would be better to have more trouble than less trouble, just pretend that I didn't see him.
While they were chatting, I slipped into my private room.
Si Yan and Lin Kui seemed to have finished their "research", each occupying a corner, and no one answered the other.
I had no choice but to smooth things over and tell them that Xiao Zhao was back.
Maybe the whereabouts of Fatty and Shiry Yang will be revealed soon.
As I was talking, the private room door was pushed open from the outside, and Xiao Zhao poked his head in with a smile.
I waved to him, and Xiao Zhao immediately ran in and said, "I found it, I found it.
Let me just say, there’s nothing in Jiangcheng that I can’t find out about.”
Xiao Zhao said that a woman with a foreign name and a fat man came to the Diaojiaolou two days ago.
They were looking for someone to lead the way into the Miao Village.
The price was quite high.
However, in the boundaries of Jiangcheng, the only people who can enter the Miao area, apart from the local Miao people, are the caravans who race horses and bring goods.
They were going to an unlucky place in Fuxian Lake, so no one was willing to lead the way.
When I heard what he said, I knew that the matter was indeed as Lin Kui speculated.
Baiyanweng was not in Jiangcheng, but I didn't know what Shiryyang was so anxious about.
Why didn't she stay in Jiangcheng and wait for me to come and meet her.
Xiao Zhao continued: "But later, they finally found a Miao hunter who was willing to lead the way.
Sister Lihua, who sells wine at the front desk, told me this, and she couldn't be wrong.
She also said that the hunter was a regular customer, and he Jiazhai is located ten miles away from Fuxian Lake, called Yuemiao Village, three days’ journey from Jiangcheng.”
I hugged Xiao Zhao hard, took out a ticket and stuffed it into him: "This news is so important.
See if you can find another guide to lead us, and let's go to Yuemiao Village."
Xiao Zhao said in shock: "Let's go now."
He glanced at the three of us, shook his head and said, "There are many wolves and jackals on the mountain at this time of the year.
There are only a few of you, and it is too dangerous to walk at night.
A good guide will not do it for Money is just a joke with the lives of guests.”
Lin Kui agreed with his point of view: "You have never seen the beasts here, so you don't know how powerful they are.
Many experienced hunters have died in the mountains outside.
I think we should have a good night's rest today.

Tomorrow, I will ask the store's I'm going to contact you guys and see if there's any caravans in the village who are resting and want to leave.
I'll just give you a ride
