Chapter 59: The Suspicious Man
In March, Yunnan is full of spring, and unique gorse flowers bloom everywhere. Chen Chen stayed with Ah Zi in the provincial capital for one night, and then took a plane to the ancient city.
"The craftsman I found online lives here!" Chen Chen gestured to a piece of tie-dye cloth, "Does this look good?" ā
Ah Zi was looking at the hand-painted lanterns of a shop next to him, and glanced at Chen Chen: "It's good-looking, let's buy one as a scarf." ā
After a morning of shopping, the two women turned into beautiful Bai girls, wearing narrow skirts and belts, and hats.
"Right here!" After dinner, Chen Chen wandered around the alley, and finally found the store mentioned on the Internet, but there was a lock on the door. Ah Zi leaned on the crack in the door and looked around, "It seems that there is no one." ā
Chen Chen looked around: "What should I do?" ā
"Ask the person next to you." Ah Zi went to a shop opposite to buy wood carvings to inquire, but people said that something had happened to the shop, and the boss had returned to his hometown a week ago.
"Do you know where his hometown is?"
"We're pulling us."
I found an inn in the ancient city, sitting in an antique courtyard, with the Milky Way hanging upside down overhead, and a little fireflies flying around.
Chen Chen lay on the bamboo chair and sighed: "When we are old, we will come here to buy a wooden house, and then the sun rises, the sun sets, and we count the time to slowly say goodbye to this world."
"Come on, it's still too early for you to get old!" Ah Zi grabbed a firefly and put it in a glass bottle, "I checked on the Internet, that town called Laus, there is a semi-developed ancient road nearby, we can just go and see it." ā
"Hmm......" Chen Chen's voice was a little confused, and Ah Zi turned her head to see that she was already squinting and about to fall asleep.
When he woke up the next day, Chen Chen found that he and Ah Zi were still sleeping in the yard, with a woolen blanket on their bodies.
"You woke up in the middle of the night and knew to get us a blanket, yes!" Ah Zi praised her, "Otherwise, we will definitely catch a cold." ā
"You didn't take it?" Chen Chen grunted in his mouth with mouthwash, "I slept so dead, how could I wake up." ā
Ah Zi looked at her: "Who covered us with the blanket?" ā
"I guess it's the innkeeper." Chen Chen thought for a while and said, "That old couple looks very kind!" ā
"Uh-huh!"
After breakfast, the two of them got on the bus and went to Laus. By the time we arrived, it was already dark. Ah Zi rubbed her waist, found the inn they had booked online in advance, and fell asleep without saying a word.
Chen Chen also insisted on taking a shower, and then lay on the bed, feeling as if someone was pushing her, and she wanted to open her eyes but was so sleepy, she simply continued to sleep. I woke up in the morning and found that the towel with which I wrapped my hair had fallen on the floor.
"Fortunately, the towel fell off, otherwise my hair would not have dried overnight."
The town is next to the border between China and Myanmar, and the village they are looking for is on the ancient road, and the only means of transportation is horses.
The local villagers were hired as guides, and the two of them rode horses for another afternoon to find the village called Daye. There was only one inn in the village, and Chen Chen and Ah Zi were a little surprised when they saw the owner of the inn.
"Wow, what a beautiful female boss!" Chen Chen whispered, "It's not like a few famous people!" ā
Ah Zi nodded: "I didn't expect that there are beauties in this kind of place." ā
"The two girls are here to play?" The proprietress smiled and brought them a bowl of milk tea.
is already very fairy, and this smile is even more amazing. In particular, she wore a local colorful long skirt, swaying lightly as she walked, and the whole person seemed to be a goddess.
"You're so beautiful!" Chen Chen couldn't help but say, "You're Han, right?" ā
The proprietress pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you, I am Han, where is my beautiful share in front of you little girls!" ā
"You're a little girl, too!" Ah Zi looked at her, "It's about the same age as us." ā
"I'm in my thirties, where is still a little girl!" The proprietress seemed to be in a good mood, and brought them a plate of milk dumplings, "Come, try it, make it yourself." ā
Chen Chen looked at her in surprise: "I can't see it, you look about the same age as us, so why did you come here?" ā
The proprietress was about to speak, when a man came in at the door, thin and tall, with inverted triangular eyes crossing Chen Chen's body, which made people very uncomfortable.
"Ah Yue, there are guests today!" The man seemed to be very familiar with the proprietress and walked up to her with his face leaning forward.
"Third child, what's the matter with you at such a late hour?" The proprietress took two steps back and asked with a frown.
The man named the third child smiled obscenely: "I went to see Brother Pao today, he said that he was busy these days and couldn't come to see you, I was afraid that you would be in a hurry, let me bring you a message." ā
"I see." After the proprietress finished speaking, she pushed him to the door, "I have a guest today, you can leave quickly." ā
The third child walked away, and when he arrived at the door, he turned around and smiled at Chen Chen and Ah Zi, and they shivered when they saw it.
"Let's rest!" Ah Zi dragged Chen Chen. Chen Chen nodded hurriedly, the proprietress had already locked the courtyard door, and when she heard that they were going to rest, she handed them a copper kettle, "This is hot water, there is a hot spring behind the room where you live, you can bubble." ā
After soaking in the hot springs and sleeping beautifully, the next day the proprietress prepared breakfast for them. Unexpectedly, when the meal was almost finished, two more people came in at the door.
"Hostess, stay in the hotel!"
One of the men, who was 1.9 meters tall, was tall and strong, and shouted in the courtyard with a loud voice.
Ah Zi jumped, turned his head sharply, and found that it was an unfamiliar face, muttering in his heart, why did the voice look so much like that bear......
When the two men walked into the house, Ah Zi felt that the guy even looked like him, but his facial features were uglier than Nobita's. The one next to him who has been silent except for his sharp eyes is very ordinary, and he belongs to the kind that can't be found if he is thrown in the crowd.
"Yo, what's going on, I don't usually see anyone for a month, but it's lively today. The proprietress ran out of the kitchen, "Come on, come on, go in from here, and choose the room inside."
Chen Chen suddenly shouted, "The innermost two rooms are ours." ā
"Don't worry, we can't rob the little girl, right?" The bear-like man smiled happily at Chen Chen, and Chen Chen smiled back politely.
Ah Zi glared at her: "Don't laugh at others casually, he is not a good person when he looks like that." ā
Chen Chen grimaced: "Okay, okay, have you eaten enough, let's go find that boss!" ā
I inquired with the proprietress about the place of residence and found a craftsman in the west of the village, who knew that he was going home to serve the sick grandma, and he would not return to the ancient city for a short time. However, he recommended another person to Chen Chen, who also lived in the ancient city.
"Well, why don't they have a phone! Otherwise, we wouldn't have tossed this trip. Ah Zi picked a small flower from the side of the road, "Let's play here for two days, otherwise it will be in vain." ā
Chen Chen packed the address written for her: "Then let's go to the border, and we can also go to see the gambling stone." ā
"Let's buy a piece too, maybe there's jadeite in it!" Ah Zi said excitedly, "There seems to be some historic building nearby, let's go over there first." ā
They walked in the direction pointed out by the villagers for more than an hour, and saw a building like a temple hidden in the lush mountain forest.
"Why are they here?" Ah Zi pointed to two men not far away.
Chen Chen also saw it: "I guess I'm here to play." ā
The bear-like man spotted them and grinned, "Hey, what a coincidence! ā
Chen Chen glanced at the other silent man next to her, she always felt that this man was so strange, which made her feel nervous inexplicably.
"It's not a coincidence at all." Ah Zi pulled Chen Chen and left, "Play your own game, don't follow us!" ā
When they entered the temple, the man who had been silent slowly followed, and the four of them walked around the monument at a distance.
"Those two guys are certainly not good people." Ah Zi secretly glanced back, "How can there be tourists in this place." She suddenly glared, "They can't be here to sell drugs, right?" ā
Chen Chen covered her mouth: "Be quiet!" ā
"It's horrible." Ah Zi lowered her voice, "Shall we call the police?" ā
"Do you have proof?" Chen Chen rolled his eyes, "Maybe people are just like us, they are also here to find people." ā
Ah Zi pouted: "Anyway, it doesn't look like a good person, let's stay away from them." ā
"Hmm." Chen Chen pulled her and continued walking, "We'll go to the border tomorrow." ā
As a result, the next day, when the two of them went to the border by boat, they met the two men again.
"Hey, what do you mean?" Ah Zi stood at the bow of the boat and did not let them get on the boat.
The bear-like man still smiled happily: "It's fast to go to the border here!" You can't go back to town. ā
Chen Chen secretly glanced at another man, but was stared at by others, she hurriedly looked away, not paying attention to the corner of the man's mouth.
"Hurry up, if you don't leave, you won't be able to catch up." The fellow who supported the boat shouted to them, "Rush to the market today, there is a stone market!" ā
Ah Zi reluctantly let them get on the boat, and then pulled Chen Chen to sit on the bow of the boat.
"We'll stay away from them for a while, and the more we look, the more suspicious we become."
Chen Chen nodded, her heart still trembled. The man's eyes just now made her nervous, so she had to keep her head down and stare at her hands. Finally, when the boat arrived at the shore, she pulled Ah Zi and ran.
"Alright, alright!" Ah Zi let go of her hand, "Rest, I'm tired." ā
Chen Chen also took a breath and found that they had run to a street full of stalls on both sides, with large and small stones on them.
"Huh?" Ah Zi pointed not far away, "That...... Is that an old bridesmaid? ā
"Impossible!" Chen Chen looked over, "Ah, really." ā
The proprietress was in a multicolored long skirt that was very conspicuous, and she was pulling for a man, obviously not strong enough, and was quickly dragged away by the man.
Chen Chen was not at ease: "It won't be an accident, right?" ā
"Shall we take a look, then?" Aziti yƬ, "The proprietress is so beautiful......"
The two of them hurriedly ran to the place where the proprietress disappeared and found that it was the entrance of a small alley. In broad daylight, I was not afraid, and slowly walked inside next to the wall. There are many smaller alleys in the small alleys.
I don't know how long I walked, and suddenly I heard a woman's voice. R638
