Chapter 23

As soon as Zhang Lan walked to the river embankment, he heard the beeping sound of the horn coming from the bridge in the distance. After taking a closer look, Zhang Hu stuck his head out of the cab: "Get in the car, brother!"

When Zhang Lan got into the car, he found that in addition to Zhang Hu and Tian Qingyong, there was also a fat white man sitting in the passenger seat. He turned to look at Zhang Lan with a smile and extended his right hand: "Good afternoon Zhang Daxian, I am Zeng Hua."

"Hello! I'm Zhang Lan." Zhang Lan stretched out his hand to shake it and said hello.

"Let's go, Zhang Hu." Tian Qingyong shouted from the side.

"Where are we going?" Zhang Lan asked in confusion as he watched Zhang Hu drive his car directly out of the city to the east exit of the expressway and prepare to get on the expressway.

"A new hot spring hotel has opened on the Baidian River, and roads are being built on the Canghe Reservoir. The traffic jam is severe down there. It will be faster for us to go around on the expressway instead of down there." Zhang Hu explained while driving.

Baidian River was named Baidian River because a family settled in the early Qing Dynasty and opened a shop by the Canghe River.Baidian River has an elegant environment, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on one side. The terrain is more unique. From a distance, it looks like a giant turtle with its head pointing towards the Cang River, like a "divine turtle exploring the water".The entire village is built on the back of a turtle, which is known as the turtle's back treasure land.

The hot spring resort Zhang Hu was talking about was at the entrance of Baidianhe Village. Looking at the big sign of Xuanwu Hot Spring Hotel erected on the side, Zeng Hua, who had just got off the car, smiled and said, "That's why it was named after that."

"The hot spring pavilion in Turtle Back Treasure Land is rightly called Xuanwu Hot Spring Pavilion. It deserves its name." Zhang Hu said.

"It's worthy of its name, but it was built in this place." Zhang Lan looked at the hotel lobby in the distance, shook his head and smiled.

As soon as the four people walked to the door of the hotel, they saw a group of people walking out of the hotel. There was also a person in the middle wearing a Taoist robe. After coming out, he walked toward the village in a mighty manner.

Zhang Lan and others were no longer in a hurry to enter the hotel. They looked at the group of people walking towards the village and stood there curiously.

"What is this doing?" Zhang Hu was very curious.

"I think I'm helping people look after the cemetery?" Zeng Hua asked from the side.

"How did you know?"

"When they passed by, the two young guys behind were having a lively discussion. I could hear it clearly."

"How about we follow over and have a look?" Zhang Hu's eyes lit up.

"How old are you, why do you like to join in the fun of everything?" Zhang Lan complained, but found that the other three people had already started to follow him towards the village...

Several people followed the crowd through the village and reached the hillside behind the village.From a distance, I saw many people standing there, and they were surrounded by crowds of spectators.

"Look, I'm not the only one who likes to watch the fun. This is a lot more fun." Zhang Hu pointed at the people standing in twos and threes around him and said.

"Hey, Zhang Lan. How about they surround this place?" Tian Qingyong teased Zhang Lan.

"This place is a good place. I don't know what's good about it. Because I don't understand this aspect." Zhang Lan touched his chin and pretended to be a profound answer, which made several people laugh. "I don't know how you know it's a good place?" Zeng Hua said while laughing.

"Well, isn't this obvious? Isn't this a good place? What are these people doing here? But this place has been occupied for a long time. These people are probably the Bai family."

"Do you understand this or not?" Tian Qingyong couldn't stop laughing.

"I don't know much about Feng Shui, but I understand human relationships. It's obvious that the ancestors of the Bai family originally occupied this place. Now that this family is so big, no one else except the Bai family will do it here. It’s a cemetery.”

"It makes sense. Zhang Lan, how much does a Taoist charge for tapping someone's acupuncture points?" Zhang Hu said thoughtfully.

Tian Qingyong replied on the side: "I also know something about this. The general starting price for such a large formation is [-] to [-]. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, the carriage fee is [-] to [-]. When you get to the place, it usually depends on the requirements. There are local requirements. You should charge less, because there are only a few places, and the Feng Shui master only needs to pick the most suitable one for you. It is hard to say that it is not limited to places but only good locations. A while ago, half of the bedrooms in our city Mr. Hu Di Feng Shui received hundreds of thousands. The money for contracting land and forests is calculated separately."

"I know the Crouching Tiger Land. It happens to be the slope of the west mountain of our village that was contracted. The village chief made a huge profit. But that one is not an individual, it belongs to a village." Zhang Hu replied.

"The same surname in which village belongs to the same family? Doesn't anyone know about that place in your village? Why is it still used by outsiders?" After hearing what Zhang Hu said, Tian Qingyong was very curious.

"We all know the place. In the late Qing Dynasty, someone dug a grave there. They said it would produce an empress. It turned out that a famous opera singer came out of that house, and he was especially famous for pretending to be an empress. Later, our village said that this place was a place for fake empresses." Zhang Lan Also know this place.

"That's it..." Tian Qingyong looked a little disappointed.

"Let's go, I'm still watching here. It won't get better for a while." Zhang Lan didn't bother to look anymore, and greeted him back. He had eaten early and left early. He felt that following Zhang Hu out was a mistake.

The little incident they encountered made everyone lose interest in hot spring bathing, and they drove off early after dinner.When he came back, he walked down the mountain road. Zhang Lan asked Zhang Hu to drop him off at the entrance of the village, and then walked home.

Just after lunch the next day, Zhang Lan was lying on a recliner, blowing on the air conditioner and playing mobile games. Zhang Hu opened the door and came in, sweating profusely. He hurried to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of ice-cold mineral water. , drank more than half of the bottle in one go, then took a big breath and said with a hiccup: "It's great!"

"What are you doing, staying away from home all day?" Zhang Lan's mother looked at Zhang Hu and asked curiously.

"I went to watch Feng Shui with someone in the morning, and I just came down the mountain." Zhang Hu said and started to look through the refrigerator again, and took out two plates of cold dishes, with a bottle of beer in his arm: "Auntie, I haven't eaten yet. There’s no one at home today, so I’ll eat something first.”

"Eat, eat, there's not enough food in the refrigerator. Can I cook you a bowl of noodles? Are you going to get hit by just eating this cold dish?" Zhang Lan's mother got up and prepared to go to the kitchen.

"No, no, no, aunt, I can just eat this. Don't worry about me. Just go about your business. This is just right for this hot day." Zhang Hu said while picking up the vegetables.

"Who did you go to read Feng Shui with? Why didn't you even have a meal? You ran back alone." Zhang Lan sat up from the recliner and put down his cell phone and asked.

"Following Fatty Zeng, didn't you hear about the Crouching Tiger Land in our village yesterday? This morning he didn't know where to find the Feng Shui master. He asked me to lead them there early in the morning. There was a lot of running around in the mountains. But it made me dizzy. Mr. Feng Shui looked over 50 and almost [-] years old. He could really run, and he couldn't even keep up with him." Zhang Hu opened a can of beer while eating and drank it. .
