Before Brother Dorjee came to the old carpenter, he had already said not to have too much hope, the old carpenter would definitely refuse such a dangerous job as a guide, even if the pay was very good. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Therefore, Xie Jiuli and his party came with the idea of being poured a basin of cold water.

It's just that the old carpenter really poured out this basin of cold water, and everyone couldn't react for a while.

This feeling of having their wishes come true made everyone a little embarrassed.

The old carpenter did not look at anyone, but shook the remaining water from the iron basin and then turned back into the house. Xi Linchuan just stood there and was stunned for a moment, and then caught it with his hand before the curtain had completely fallen. With a slight force, he lifted the heavy curtain and walked inside.

The corners of Xie Jiuli's mouth twitched, and he said, "The master didn't invite us in, so rashly rude, right?"

Van Gong glanced at him and said, "Do you think the master will invite us in?"

Of course Xie Jiuli knew, no.

The palace made a powerless gesture and followed in. At this time, Xie Jiuli and the others had no choice but to follow behind.

Dorjee was the last, he hesitated in place for a moment, then said "hey" and followed into the yurt.

Compared with the more delicate furnishings of Dorjee, this place is much more shabby. Even in Xie Jiuli's opinion, it can be said that he is poor and has no valuable belongings. This yurt was originally smaller than the others, and it looked like it was built by the old carpenter himself, but at this time, there were so many more big men, and it instantly looked extremely crowded.

This kind of crowding, the old carpenter obviously did not like either. He raised his eyes to look, then pointed to a bench in the room, and said lightly: "Since you came in, I won't sweep you out." Let's sit down first. ”

Xie Jiuli was a little surprised, this person was unexpectedly easy to speak?

Then I thought, if this man is really so good at talking, how dangerous is the place where even he refuses to go?

Obviously, what Xie Jiuli could think of, everyone else naturally thought of it too. So everyone's face was a little strange for a moment, and then quickly returned to nature.

The old carpenter's gaze did not stay on them, and naturally he did not see their performance with such a high degree of consistency. He just repaired a chair seemingly randomly, without looking at them, and said: "Dorjee has already mentioned it to me, but I don't think I'm the most suitable person, and I don't want to earn your money." So, I advise you to give up. ”

Seeing that he looked like he was not open-minded, Xi Linchuan said: "Mr. Zhu's Mandarin is very pure, is it from the city?"

The old carpenter's hand paused, but then continued to mend the chair, "How can you see it?"

Xi Linchuan said: "In Mr. Zhu's era, if it wasn't for the people in the city who had received a serious education, where would he have learned such pure Mandarin without a little accent?"

The old carpenter laughed, "Then you guessed wrong. My Mandarin was taught by a master who called me a carpenter. This master is a Tibetan who is a serious person. ”

Xilinchuan was surprised by this result, "Tibetans?"

The old carpenter put down the tools in his hand, looked up at him, and said, "That's right, Tibetan. ”

Xi Linchuan has always been very accurate in looking at people, but at this moment, looking at the old carpenter, he is a little unsure of his thoughts. This man looked hunchbacked and rustic, but his conversation was not comparable to that of ordinary peasants, and he really didn't believe it to say that he was not educated but someone had taught him how to speak Mandarin. But the person who taught him was a Tibetan! He never thought of this in any way.

He didn't know how much he could believe the words that came out of the old carpenter's mouth, but as far as the current situation was concerned, these were floating clouds.

So he said slowly: "Brother Zhu, we are not here to investigate your identity and origin. We just want your help, and of course we'll pay enough for that. ”

The old carpenter pulled a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "I don't need your reward. ”

Xi Linchuan looked at him and said with a smile: "The unwanted remuneration is just that it does not meet the remuneration standard you want." Mr. Zhu...... How about you tell us your request and how about we exchange it at an equivalent price?"

The old carpenter's expression was finally a little moved, and he said, "What do you mean......"

Xi Linchuan said: "We will help you do one thing, you will be our guide, and I think it is fair to exchange for equal value." ”

The old carpenter laughed, "It just sounds fairer." What you are looking for me to do is to trade your life for something. And what I'm looking for you doesn't necessarily have to pay such a price. Nothing can be equivalent in the face of life!"

Xi Linchuan was slightly stunned, he thought that the reason why the old carpenter didn't agree was that he didn't want money at all, but that he had something else to want. It's just that although he guessed this, the rest fell into his self-righteousness. He thought that if he offered this tempting offer, the old carpenter would tell them what he wanted, if only they could.

It's just that the old carpenter doesn't seem to mean this.

Xi Linchuan blinked, "It seems...... Am I going to be wrong?"

The old carpenter was expressionless, and in the interval of chatting, he simply and neatly repaired the chair with the broken leg in his hand.

The old carpenter picked up his chair and looked at it, then put it back on the ground and sat down on it. Then he stood up and said, "It should last a few more years." ”

Xie Jiuli felt that the little old man in front of him was particularly interesting, but it was difficult to show his emotions in front of so many people. He knew that there was nothing for him here, and he was pretending to be silent. So he watched the old carpenter repair the chair the whole time. The other party's hands and feet are nimble, and even your burrs on the installed wooden pallet are smooth. Xie Jiuli felt that the person who would pay special attention to this kind of detail should be a very smart person.

Soon, the old carpenter issued several orders to evict the customers. Xilinchuan couldn't say anything, so he had to retreat first, planning to fight another day. This little old man who doesn't eat hard and soft makes him a little nerve-wracking. So that when he came out of the old carpenter's house, he did not look good.

Xie Jiuli looked at him with a smile and said, "Team Leader Xi, it seems that you have gnawed a bone that can't be gnawed!"

Xi Linchuan frowned and said, "It's not that you can't chew, it's that you don't know where to start!"

Qian Qian suddenly said: "This person has the breath of a monster on his body. ”

Xie Jiuli was stunned for a moment, and then said, "No, he's a monster?"

He shook his head and said, "It's not a monster, it's a human." It's just that he must have encountered a youkai, and it hasn't been for long, otherwise this breath wouldn't still be on him. ”

Xi Linchuan thought of what Dorjee told him, and guessed: "Could it be related to him going deep into Kunlun Mountain?"
