Chapter 1 The eighth master, please smoke
"Brother ShuoβBrother Shuo!"
A starling, covered in darkness with a golden feather on his head, swept into an adobe house in a mountain village, flapped his wings, and landed on the shoulders of a young man in the house.
The young man looked like he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in an old tunic suit, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose and a cigarette in his ear.
On the bookcase in front of him was a lesson plan for the preparation of Chinese lessons for the second grade of primary school.
His name is Lin Shuo, and he came to this mountain village on the southwestern border of China six years ago to work as a substitute teacher for the only primary school within a 100-mile radius.
Stopping the pen in his hand, Lin Shuo looked at the starling bird on his shoulder, smiled and took off the cigarette from his ear, lit it with a match, and handed it to it.
The starling bird actually stood on one leg like this, and the other leg skillfully took the cigarette, beaked and smoked.
While smoking, the starling spoke: "Brother Shuo, I almost can't come back." β
". Lin Shuo glanced at it, "Who can touch you here?"
"Brother Shuo, our brother for more than ten years, born and died so many times, when did I lie to you?" The starling looked old-fashioned, tilted his head and sprayed a puff of smoke on Lin Shuo's face.
Lin Shuo's expression began to become solemn: "Tell me in detail." β
"Three modified off-road vehicles, coming towards our village, there is no such model in China, temporary license plates. I stared at them for a moment, and a military* poked out of the window, but luckily I was running fast. β
This starling even said and gestured, as if he had become a spirit.
Lin Shuo was silent for a while, then nodded to indicate that he understood.
"They're supposed to be coming at you. Starling said earnestly, "Brother Shuo, it's been six years since that incident, and it's almost time for you to go out and walk around." β
Lin Shuo didn't answer, just smiled: "The rice is still hot, let's go." β
Starling nodded, waved his wings and flew away.
The smile on Lin Shuo's face slowly retracted, and he looked out the window, his expression darkened.
It's been six years, and you've still been found?
Will you let yourself experience that human purgatory six years ago?
The pain in his heart began to torment Lin Shuo, his face turned pale, his fingers trembled slightly, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket and lit one.
In the smoke, he seemed to experience that thunderstorm night again, and the rain that day was bloody.
After that day, he decided to take the mountain and not interfere in the strange things of the world. took Xiaoba to settle in this unknown mountain village, thinking that the world would not be able to find him.
Helplessly, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes.
But even if you find me, what can you do?
I've collected the mountain.
Lin Shuo sneered and snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand.
......
Three modified off-road vehicles trekked all the way on the mountain road and finally drove into this mountain village.
In such a poor rural area, the visual impact brought by these three pure black modified off-road cars is full.
The villagers quickly gathered around, but they didn't dare to get too close, and just watched from a distance of three meters.
A child also picked up a stone, and was just about to throw it, but was slapped down by an adult, honestly.
The SUV stopped one after another in front of an adobe house.
The door of the car in the back seat of the car opened and a high-heeled shoe stomped on the dirt road of the village.
The villagers looked up at the black heels:
Black stockings, long and straight thighs. The plump buttocks are wrapped under the black step skirt. A delicately tailored women's suit that shows off her slender waist and full breasts.
On the snow-white neck, the pretty face is like a peach blossom, with big eyes and a small mouth and a nose bridge, just like a movie star.
The villagers had never seen such a beautiful woman before.
"Boom. β
A villager swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then the soft flesh on his waist was pinched by his daughter-in-law.
On the other side of the door, a strong man with a height of 1.9 meters came down. A green short-sleeved army T-shirt is worn over a combat vest, revealing two distinct muscular lines.
He followed the beautiful woman to the wooden door of the adobe house.
"Knock knock. The beautiful woman tapped on the door.
No one responded.
Knock again, but no one answers.
The beauty frowned slightly, took two steps back, turned to the villagers, and asked with a smile, "Folks, is he at home?"
"Yes, yes. Some villagers rubbed their waists and shouted busily, "Teacher Lin, open the door, someone is looking for you!"
Still no one responded.
The strong man was impatient and sneered: "Miss Anne, the person you want to invite is too big. β
As he spoke, he lifted his foot and was about to kick the door.
The beautiful woman's face changed drastically, and she didn't have time to remind her, so she could only quickly lift her legs, and the tips of the high heels instantly hit the crook of the strong man's knees.
The strong man only felt that his whole leg was numb, and he stumbled a few steps with a muffled snort, with a look of surprise: "Miss Anne, you ......"
"Wei Xingshan. The woman interrupted with a frosty face, "Let me remind you, you have to be respectful of this Mr. Lin." This time we have a request from him. It would be our honor to invite him out of the mountain this time. β
"Miss Anne. Unhappiness flashed on the strong man Wei Xingshan's face, "You and I are both the same employer, and I have the most elite mercenary team in all of Asia." Is there anything else we can't solve?"
The chill on Miss Anne's face faded a little, and she said calmly, "Captain Wei, if it is against humans, of course I believe you and your comrades-in-arms. But there are specializations in the art industry, and what we have to face is those things. β
As the two were talking, there was a squeak, and the wooden door opened.
The person who opened the door was none other than Lin Shuo.
He was dressed as a mountain village teacher, with a pen in his breast pocket, and no expression could be seen on his emaciated face.
Anne felt a sense of relief when she saw this face, but at the same time, she also felt the coldness of this face.
This man's eyes, even through his glasses, are still as sharp as a knife, making people feel cold all over his body.
This is the look that only people who roll out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses will have.
Anne's face turned pale at the thought of the legends about him.
"Hello Mr. Lin, my name is Anne. Anne suppressed the fear in her heart, trying to look down on herself.
Lin Shuo's expression was obviously full of refusal, but when he saw the densely packed crowd outside, his expression eased a little.
"Come in and talk about it. Lin Shuo said lightly and turned around and entered the house.
The two followed the adobe house, and Anne turned around and closed the door.
The adobe house with four walls does not even have a second chair. Lin Shuo sat at his desk, and Anne and Wei Xingshan could only stand.
Lin Shuo ignored them, and the atmosphere was awkward for a while.
Bang la blah.
The starling bird fluttered its wings and flew into the house, landed on the desk, and tilted its head to look at the two strangers.
Seeing this starling, the strong man Wei Xingshan nodded: "This starling is very energetic, and the hair on his head is like a crown." β
"Bastard. Starling said.
Wei Xingshan grinned. Of course, he didn't bother with a bird, but wanted to tease it.
He took a few steps forward, half-bent down on the edge of the desk, looked at the starling at eye level, and made an angry look: "Why do you scold people?"
"Bastard. Starling said again.
"Are you only going to talk about bastards? Will you say anything else?"
"Bastard. Starling repeated.
Anne rummaged through her handbag for a while, took out a pack of soft Chinese and opened it, pulled out a handful of cigarettes and stuffed them between her lips, and lit them with a lighter.
Then the beautiful woman took off the cigarette from her mouth, held it with both hands, the cigarette butt was facing herself, and the end of the cigarette was towards the starling bird, took a few steps forward, and said solemnly:
"Eighth Master, please smoke. I heard that you are good at tobacco and alcohol in your life, I came in a hurry this time, and I can only buy this kind of cigarettes, which is quite good, and there is no way to drink alcohol, please forgive me. β
When these words came out, Lin Shuo was stunned for a moment and squinted at Anne.
Wei Xingshan opened his mouth, looked at the starling bird, and then looked at Anne, who looked like he thought the woman was crazy.
"You actually know me?" stared at the beautiful woman in front of him, spitting out.
Anne hurriedly said:
"Who in the hunter circle doesn't know the famous name of the eighth master. You have left too many legends behind. β
"In the hunter's circle, I haven't seen you as a mother-in-law. Starling said coldly.
"I have a colleague who once had the privilege of meeting the eighth master. Knowing that I was coming to see Mr. Lin and you today, I specially instructed me to serve the eighth master. Anne bowed her head slightly, her hand holding a cigarette in a gesture.
"Smoke it. Lin Shuo said at this time, "Such a good cigarette has already been lit, don't smoke it too much?"
When the starling heard this, he was no longer polite, took the cigarette with his paws, fed it into his beak, and swallowed the clouds and spit out the mist: "Mother-in-law, you are very good at doing things." β
Xie Baye complimented. Anne chuckled.
Wei Xingshan woke up from his surprise at this time and muttered, "Is this really just a bird?"
Nobody paid any attention to him.
Anne saw Starling start smoking, as if she had accomplished something big, and her tense body relaxed.
She looked at Lin Shuo with burning eyes, and stopped talking.
"It seems that my bottom has been almost touched by you. β
Lin Shuo tapped lightly on the table and said lightly, "Say, what is the purpose of putting such a deep effort on me?"
