Chapter Twenty-Five: Accommodation in the Barren Mountains
Five thunder palms Cui Bao came to the Qingyun Taoist Temple, willing to take care of Dong Huacheng's home, therefore, Ye Xiaolang's purpose of coming to the Qingyun Taoist Temple was finally achieved, and then, Ye Xiaolang accompanied Dong Huacheng and Cui Bao After the two uncles finished eating that night, they returned to the city at the same time, so that their eldest apprentice was unlucky, no matter how to find ten flat-headed diesel trucks from that night to noon tomorrow, and go to the bottom of the pouting peak to listen to his Ye Xiaolang's whereabouts.
After receiving this order, Dahuanyan Leng Buyun did not dare to slack off at all, he immediately called the friends he had made in the society (shehui), and soon, the friends who were unlucky reported the results one after another, and in about four hours, Dahuanyan Leng Buyun gathered ten hired flat-headed firewood trucks at the foot of Puyu Peak, waiting for Ye Xiaolang's final mobilization instructions.
Time passes minute by minute, the dark night will eventually usher in the arrival of dawn, maybe the dawn does not bring much hope, but for people full of ideals, the thrill of racing against time is hot, wild, like dancing on a hot rhythm, no matter how many competitors are chasing, but in the hearts of these brave people, there is only one thought, that is, to surpass themselves, not to surpass others.
At half past twelve o'clock at noon the next day, the mild sun became hot, Ye Xiaolang's second apprentice Liu Chan drove a specially made extended off-road vehicle, carrying Ye Xiaolang and the Taoist Dong Huacheng, as well as Dong Huacheng's six apprentices, and drove towards the pouting peak, and at this time, the big ring eye was cold and unlucky, and he had just woken up, standing at the highest point of the peak of the pouting peak, holding a telescope and watching.
At this time, as soon as the drivers of the ten flat-headed diesel trucks heard the horn, they all hurriedly opened the doors, jumped out of the car, and stood in a neat row, waiting for the arrival of their bosses. "Squeak-" off-road vehicle stopped in front of ten drivers standing straight, and the sand rolled up when braking passed over the faces of the ten drivers, but these drivers did not blink, or covered their noses and mouths to avoid the wind and sand, it seems that these drivers are "old fritters", for long-distance transportation is tired and tired is already accustomed to it, it can be described as "experienced in a hundred battles", it is not an exaggeration!
Now, the people on the off-road vehicle have all come down, and Ye Xiaolang is standing on the left side of his uncle Dong Huacheng with his hands behind his back, communicating with the ten drivers, Ye Xiaolang said with an extremely serious face, "Everyone, I know that you are cold friends, but you may not know who I am, but I can tell you now, I am the cold and unlucky master."
Ye Xiaolang said, pointed to his uncle Dong Huacheng, and continued to introduce to the ten people, "This is my uncle, his order is equivalent to my order, especially, everyone may encounter danger on the way, so, this time to go to the Arctic Empire to buy wood, I will give you 50,000 yuan per person for labor fees, if any of you are sluggish and timid, you can ask me to withdraw now, but even so, I will still give you 5,000 yuan for lost work, you choose!"
After Ye Xiaolang finished saying this, he glanced at the ten people standing neatly, Ye Xiaolang found that these ten people were looking at each other, only to see that the big man looked down at the small man, the little man looked up at the big man, and there was a man who lowered his head and did not say a word, so the curious Ye Xiaolang asked this man, Ye Xiaolang asked, "This gentleman, why do you bow your head and refuse to speak, is it because I don't give enough money?"
At this moment, he finally raised his head, looked up at Ye Xiaolang, and replied, "I am a villain who escaped from prison by murder, and I have robbed this flat-headed firewood truck again, I am no longer interested in life and death, I only want to make money and squander, I would rather die in the wilderness than spend the rest of my life in prison, I am numb, I have no feeling for death!"
After Ye Xiaolang heard this, he was silent for a long time, and at this time, Dahuanyan, who had already run down the pouting peak, was unlucky, came to Ye Xiaolang, and said, "Master, this man is a fugitive, I wanted to take him away, but I found that he was quite pitiful, so ・・・・・・ left him." ”
"No need to say it!" Ye Xiaolang interrupted his apprentice's unlucky words, and continued to say to the man, "You can go with me to the Arctic Empire to haul wood, but you'd better leave your homeland when you come back, you scumbag should go to the Arctic Empire, where there are villains everywhere, killing everywhere, maybe you may still be a good person compared to those villains." ”
Ye Xiaolang's words fell, and he suddenly shouted loudly, "If everyone has no objections, go back to their respective cars and follow me on the road!"
Ye Xiaolang's mouth was like an ATM, and the words he spoke were like banknotes spit out by an ATM, tempting these outlaws to return to their respective cars, insert the keys, pump up the engine, step on the accelerator, and move forward!
In this way, Ye Xiaolang's second apprentice Liu Chan drove Ye Xiaolang, who was carrying a big sword, and Dong Huacheng, who had a serious face, and led ten flat-headed firewood trucks to the Arctic Empire, which was five hundred kilometers away. The exhaust pipe of a high-speed extended off-road vehicle spews white gas, like a snow leopard in winter opening its mouth to exhale.
At this moment, the expressions of the drivers in the ten flat-headed diesel trucks behind them are different, some of them are smiling, some are highly concentrated, some are expressionless, some are tired, some have serious expressions, and some are driving while calling home to report their safety, in short, these people know that the Arctic Empire is a country of perennial turmoil (dongluan), robbers are rampant, the FAN government forces are secretly confronting, thieves are everywhere, drug smugglers are rampant, and the flesh trade industry is overflowing, to put it more bluntly, it is a real hell on earth, it is no exaggeration。
At this time, Ye Xiaolang in the extended off-road vehicle at the front looked out of the car window with a solemn expression, and he found that when he got farther and farther away from the city, the scenery on both sides of the highway was no longer so harmonious.
At the same time, this is the first time Ye Xiaolang has gone to such a distant place to "travel", Ye Xiaolang understands that although the future ahead is uncertain, but for the ideal of creating a Taoist temple for himself, he has to give everything he has, Ye Xiaolang asked himself in his heart, "What am I living for, am I for money? Yes, it is for money, but that is not my ultimate goal, so what is your ultimate goal?" This is a good answer, when you look at the stars at night, at the stars that glow with golden light, you will forget yourself, you will fantasize about the history of mankind, and all you need to do is to dedicate your youth to your favorite ideals like meteors across the sky, leaving no regrets."
Five hours later, twilight had arrived, and a faint light could still be seen in the western sky, and at this moment, the mountains on both sides of the road were pitch black, majestic and eerie. In particular, the ground under the off-road vehicle that Ye Xiaolang was riding was bumpy, there was no road here, it was all rugged mountain roads, so Dong Huacheng, the senior uncle who was sitting next to Ye Xiaolang, had been bumped and his butt hurt so much that he "blossomed".
In this regard, Dong Huacheng, the Taoist chief, proposed to his nephew Ye Xiaolang, "I said Xiaolang, it's getting late this day, and the road is difficult to walk, should you find a hotel to rest." As soon as Dong Huacheng finished saying this, the off-road vehicle jolted violently again, and this time Dong Huacheng made a fool of himself, and the Taoist temple on his head fell on his feet, and it was really affordable to let out a fart, and the sound was even louder than the sound of the motorcycle exhaust pipe, which actually shook Ye Xiaolang's head to "buzz"!
So, Dong Huacheng felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly defended himself and said, "Xiaolang, Uncle Shi, I am not feeling well these days, and I am very angry, so I often eat some red heart radish to dissipate the fire, which does not accumulate over time There is some gas accumulation in the large intestine, and today due to the violent vibration, the waste poured out, and finally eliminated the backfire, which is really a great blessing!" After Dong Huacheng finished saying this, he thought to himself, "What kind of nonsense is this!"
When Ye Xiaolang heard this, he raised his left hand and rubbed his head, and said in agreement, "Uncle Shi, I'm also happy for you, I only know that your skills are profound, and I don't think your fart strength is also extremely deep, you see, my head was shocked, and I was sweating!" Then, Ye Xiaolang shouted, "Second apprentice, stop!"
"Squeak-" The off-road vehicle stopped, Ye Xiaolang first pushed the door and got out of the car, and then jumped a few times, and jumped onto a big bluestone, looking into the distance, but because the night was dark and cloudy, the crescent moon was cloudy, and the night was gloomy, Ye Xiaolang could only see a two-story small building built on the mountainside dozens of meters ahead, and there seemed to be light in the small building, but it was not so bright, it seemed to be like the light of a candle, Ye Xiaolang saw this analysis" The mountains are remote, the transportation is inconvenient, and even the power generation agencies may not have touched the place, so it is no wonder that the 'primitive' life is still here.
A few minutes later, Ye Xiaolang led the convoy on foot and came to the nearest location to the two-story building to stop, and then, Ye Xiaolang asked his uncle Dong Huacheng to wait here, and after negotiating with the owner of the house, he would come here to take him up the mountain for accommodation. So, Daoist Dong Huacheng agreed, and waited patiently in the car.
At this time, Ye Xiaolang took his second apprentice, Liu Chan, to the bottom of the mountainside, and in front of him was the gate of the courtyard of this two-story building, and just when Ye Xiaolang was about to raise his hand and knock on the courtyard door, there was a sudden sound of talking in the courtyard, and the voice was a rough and old voice, "The corner door is not locked, come in!"
When Ye Xiaolang heard this, he couldn't help but shudder, because before he Ye Xiaolang knocked on the door, the person in the door knew that someone was coming, which showed that this person's ears were extremely strong, could it be that he was a master? Ye Xiaolang thought, looked sideways at his apprentice Liu Chan through the night, and then slowly raised his hand, pushed open the corner door of the courtyard gate, and entered the courtyard.
But as soon as he entered the courtyard, Ye Xiaolang found that on the stone bench in a gazebo two meters in front of him, there was a bald old man with long hair around him, wearing a big white vest, holding a cigarette, smoking vigorously.
In particular, the old man's blazing eyes made Ye Xiaolang a little hairy, Ye Xiaolang thought that this person was not simple!
