Early in the morning, Lin Tian followed Hong Gang to find the craftsman.

They took a bus and then a minibus.

When the minibus drove on the winding road, Lin Tian felt that his heart was hanging in his throat.

Only half of the people in the car were seated, and the driver chewed betel nut in his mouth and spit a few red spit out the window from time to time.

After eating betel nut and smoking again, he reached out of the car window to flick cigarette ashes, looking sleep-deprived.

Watching the driver press the accelerator hard, the car drove fast, and the wheels rubbed against the edge of the cliff, Lin Tian was frightened several times, thinking that the car was about to fall into the cliff.

The people in the car should be talking, laughing and laughing, and there is a commotion in the car, as if they are in a vegetable market, and the people here are accustomed to the driver's death car skills.

Lin Tian was scared into a cold sweat all the way, feeling that he was not so afraid when facing a strong enemy, and he felt that his life was hanging by a thread.

The minibus took them to a small town where they bought a few buns for breakfast.

It's just that the bun has a rancid taste, and it seems to have been sold for a few days.

Lin Tian frowned and ate it, and began to miss the fresh steamed buns made by his mother.

Hong Gang led him to the edge of the town, where there were endless mountains.

He pointed to the vast mountains and said to Lin Tian: "The place we are going to is in these mountains.

This kind of place can only be reached on foot, not by car.

We still have to climb some cliffs, and we can't get there in half a day. ”

"Is it so remote?"

Lin Tian couldn't help but think of the cliff village he had heard of before, and the people inside had to climb the cliff if they wanted to come out of the outside world.

It seems that there are still quite a few such villages.

Why do craftsmen live deep in the mountains?

Maybe people outside the world like to live in seclusion away from the hustle and bustle of the mountains and rivers, it is best to find a place where people can't find it, so as to save a lot of trouble.

Lin Tian followed Hong Gang to climb the mountain and walk the mountain road, which was an eye-opener.

The terrain of the entire Nanxing City is basically plain, and there are no lofty mountains.

The mountain behind his house is already considered high.

When he climbed a few big mountains here, he realized what a mountain is, and the mountain behind him can only be regarded as a slope.

He saw a lot of herbs on the mountain, and given that Hong Gang was nearby, it was difficult to put them into the bead space.

As they climbed to the top of a mountain, Lin Tian heard Hong Gang stop, point to a point below, and speak to him.

"Over another hill and we're there. ”

Lin Tian raised his eyes and crossed the hill, and he vaguely saw that there were some houses in the mountains and forests, and there were not many of them.

He was surprised and asked, "This is a village, right?"

"Yes, the craftsman, lives in that village. ”

Lin Tian thought that the master was a small wooden house, and lived alone in the smoky mountains, but ended up living in a village with no traffic.

After crossing the hill, they came to a mountain path, and below was the village.

Walking in the village, all you see are some old houses, the village is quiet, occasionally you will see one or two old people sitting in front of the house in a daze.

Most of the people in the village were old people, some of them had good eyes, and when they saw the arrival of Lin Tian's two strangers, they surrounded them curiously, looking at them as if they were looking at aliens.

Finally, an old man couldn't help but come up to them and ask them where they came from and who they were looking for.

The dialect here is obscure, and Lin Tian didn't know what he was talking about after listening to the reaction for a long time.

Hong Gang understood it at once.

"Let's look for Jiang Mazi. ”

When he heard the name, the old man shook his head as if he was afraid of being infected by the plague.

The other villagers who came up looked at Lin Tian and the others with strange eyes, and dispersed in a hurry.

Seeing the strange reaction of the villagers, Lin Tian became more and more curious, what kind of person this master was.

Hong Gang, who rarely spoke along the way, said to Lin Tian: "You have to be mentally prepared, Jiang Mazi is a strange person.

If you accidentally make him angry, he won't do anything for you in a minute. ”

Lin Tian remembered it in his heart.

The reason why the masters are called masters is that they are a bit of a bull temper, because they have real materials and have the ability to be arrogant.

No one gave them directions, but fortunately, Hong Gang recognized the way and took Lin Tian to the most remote location in the village.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a big place, where there is a yellow mud house, standing alone among the barren mountains and mountains, inexplicably sad.

This yellow mud house is more dilapidated than the old house before Lin Tian's family was rebuilt.

Lin Tian saw a lot of grass growing on the wooden door, and he said in disbelief: "Hong Gang, are you sure that the craftsman lives here?" It feels like no one lives in this house. ”

"Yes. ”

Hong Gang looked up at the sky, it was still afternoon, and it was not dark yet.

Lin Tian had been walking for so long, and he wanted to find a place to sit.

"What are you waiting for, let's knock on the door and go in. ”

Hong Gang looked at the time on his phone and said, "Don't worry, let's wait at the door for three hours, and then knock on the door when the time is up." ”

Seeing that Lin Tian still looked puzzled, he explained two more sentences.

"Jiang Mazi, his craftsmanship is first-class and good, but it's a little weird.

You can't disturb him outside of the scheduled time, otherwise he will turn his face and deny him.

It is said that he sleeps during the day and works at night, and now knocking on the door is tantamount to disturbing his sleep. ”

Lin Tian shrugged.

"Quite a personality. ”

It's not easy for him to say anything, he was originally begging people to do things, and he still had this awareness.

Two, I found a relatively clean place at the door, sat there and waited.

Hong Gang meditated and cultivated quietly, without any intention of talking to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian looked at the surrounding scenery for a while and felt bored.

It was impossible for him to enter this bead space to cultivate at this time, so he could only swipe his mobile phone next to him.

The mobile phone signal in the mountains is extremely poor, and there is only a little Internet occasionally.

Lin Tian could only read the novels that had been downloaded on his mobile phone to pass the time.

He figured out a little why Jiang Mazi was so difficult to date.

The internet signal here is so poor that you may have to climb to the top of the mountain to make a call.

Maybe because of communication, I couldn't find anyone, so I could only leave a message to Jiang Mazi, and wait for Jiang Mazi to see the text message and then respond, and it took more time to come and go.

Hayashida spent three hours bored, during which the two of them ate some bread and biscuits to fill their stomachs.

It was getting dark.

Hong Gang suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the time on his phone, and said to Lin Tian: "It's time, let's go in." ”

Lin Tian took Hong Gang as the first to look at him, and it was right to follow him.

Jiang Mazi has a strange temper, and he may mess things up if he messes around.

Hong Gang knocked on the door three times, and when he knocked on the door, the mud on the wooden door fell straight down.

No one answered the door for a long time, Hong Gang knocked three times again, but still no one came to open the door.

Lin Tian resisted the urge to ask questions and waited patiently.

Finally, when Hong Gang knocked on the door for the ninth time, just when Lin Tian thought that there was no one inside, the door opened from the inside with a "squeak".

Behind the door, there was no one.
