Chapter 5: The Fog Grows

"Senior brother, don't do it, I just want to adjust the atmosphere and see how hard we go all the way. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Zhao looked at me with a pitiful expression.

"Hurry up, or you'll feel good!" I stared at him and said sternly.

"Well, let's talk about the good news first, the old man said that there is indeed a Taoist temple in the depths of the back mountain, he has been there, although it is separated by a distance, but it is certain that there should be people living there. The bad news is that the place is hard to find, I'm afraid only the old people can find it, and now this season, I'm afraid it won't work, and it's snowing on the mountain. ”

Zhao said and forgot about the old man again. "The old man also said that it is best to go in late spring and early summer next year, when the snow in the mountains has melted, and there are wild flowers, wild grasses and wild fruits everywhere, and there is no need to worry about food."

The old man sat there and smoked his pipe, and puffs of smoke floated out of the pipe, enveloping the old man in it, and feeling that he had become a fairy.

I thought about it, and I couldn't help but feel depressed, why is this always the case? "Did you ask the old man what the price was?"

Zhao smiled with big eyes, "Of course I asked, it will take two months to go back and forth, and the old man said that it will be at least two thousand yuan a month." ”

Hearing this, I also breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately, the people in the mountains are simple, if you are outside, the starting price is at least 20,000, "2,000 yuan is no problem, come back and add 1,000." "I say that, but I don't have any money on me, so I seem to have to find a way to make money quickly.

It doesn't matter if you go next year, now the two of them are poor, and they must find a way to make money, and also prepare for the revitalization of the Maoshan faction in the future. As for going to see Yi Yang Zhenren, there is no need to rush, the empty man didn't say when, as long as he went to see him.

I asked Zhao Dayan to discuss with the old man about going up the mountain in the coming year, and to leave a contact address and phone number, but I didn't expect that although the old man was in the mountain all the year round, he still used his mobile phone. Once everything was agreed, we took the cable car down the mountain.

It was almost six o'clock when I returned to Chengdu.

"Senior brother, I'm hungry." Zhao Dayan, this guy is so shameless, he actually has an expression that will eat me.

I took a look and walked to a steamed bun shop, "Boss, how do you sell steamed buns?" ”

"Steamed buns?" Zhao Dayan muttered behind my back.

"One for a dollar. How many do you want? The boss replied casually.

"It's so small, it costs a dollar, can it be cheaper?" I felt the only remaining 700 pieces in my pocket.

The boss pointed to a sign next to the door: "Small business, refuse to bargain!" ”

"Two of them." I pulled out two bills in one piece.

The boss took the money and handed over the steamed buns in plastic bags.

I took the steamed bun and turned to look at Zhao Dayan, "We have to find a way to make money, otherwise we won't even be able to eat the steamed bun." ”

"Senior brother, aren't you, you are still so arrogant at noon, why did you change a person in a few hours." Zhao looked at me with a puzzled face.

"People, occasionally always want to save face, but life still has to go on." I had already walked forward, leaving an innocent look on my face.

It's very close to the house rented by Zhao Dayan, and I'm also very familiar with the surrounding environment, but it's changed a lot in the past few years, and in the end, it can only be Zhao Dayan who leads me home.

I still remember that Sanshengxiang was a suburb of Chengdu back then, but now it is an urban area, the original farmhouses have been built into hotels, and many elevator apartments have also grown densely. However, Zhao Dayan still lives in a small farmhouse courtyard and a room.

The landlord is a couple in their fifties, with a kind face and amiable face, and a daughter who now works in Shanghai and comes back once a year. There were four rooms in the courtyard, and the old couple felt lonely so they rented out two empty rooms. The other tenant was a single girl, who was said to be beautiful, but it was hard to meet.

I thought to myself, this kind of girl who goes out early and returns late is either very diligent or has a special industry. Of course, there is some basis for my speculation, but it will not be more convincing until later.

After a good chat with the landlord, they were still reluctant, I was indeed a little tired, so I said that I was not feeling well, so I went back to the room first. Zhao Dayan didn't mean to stop, and continued to brag with the old couple there, and the two old men also listened happily, and laughed from time to time.

In the evening, I found out why Zhao Dayan was so able to talk, it turned out that the landlord had made a big table of meals and wanted to invite us.

Looking at a large table of home-cooked food, I couldn't help but feel a little sentimental, and I was still distracted for a while.

"Xiao Li, don't just look at it, hurry up and eat!" The landlord greeted me very warmly, and I nodded embarrassedly, "It's really too troublesome for you, next time, I will cook a meal for the second elder, which is a return gift." ”

The landlord laughed, "That's a good feeling!" Xiao Li, are you going to live here permanently? ”

"I've just returned to China, and I'm going to disturb everyone here for the time being, and I may move out after a while." I didn't resist this kind of occasion, but in the past few years in India, my habits have changed in all aspects.

"Uncle and aunt, you're welcome!" Zhao Dayan had already stuffed a large piece of back pot meat into his mouth, "It's so delicious!" Fat but not greasy, the entrance is slag, and the aftertaste is endless! ”

This guy is a whole foodie, and when he has food, he can still have literary brilliance in his mouth.

The landlord and aunt also smiled, "Xiao Zhao, you have lived here for so long, just like your own family, why are you polite, eat more." ”

"Uncle and aunt, you eat too." I really can't get acquainted with people, so I'm still polite.

"Okay, everyone eat, eat more." The landlady also began to move her chopsticks.

For a while, there was laughter and joy at the table, and a large table of dishes was wiped out like a whirlwind.

The landlord looked at the clean plates and showed a satisfied smile, "Xiao Li, you can live here with confidence, if you need anything, just say it." ”

I thanked me again for a while, and then wanted to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but was also rejected by the landlord.

When I returned to Zhao Dayan's house, I suddenly felt sleepy, this day was indeed exhausting, and I had no strength in my hands and feet. After a brief wash, I fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but a cool feeling made me shiver, and I woke up from my sleep all at once.

Except for the blue glow of the computer screen, the lights were turned off, and a figure sat in front of the computer, his hands drooping.

"Big eyes, you kid will die young if you sleep like this." I whispered to the figure. But the figure didn't react, its head was still standing upright, and it didn't look like it was sleeping, but it just didn't respond.

I got out of bed, put on my slippers, and walked behind the figure step by step, and I was startled for a while. I saw Zhao Da's eyes wide, staring at the computer screen with a frightened expression on his face, but there was nothing on the computer screen, just the screensaver rotating back and forth, and he would be a little tired after watching it for a long time.

Regarding the situation in front of me, coupled with Zhao Dayan's previous narrative, I also raised my vigilance, which is indeed weird. I probed his breathing with my fingers, it was very steady, although the heartbeat was a little fast, but it was normal, it can be said that Zhao Dayan just fell asleep with frightened eyes open.

I still remember when I was a child, an aunt's daughter just slept with her eyes open, and she would be startled when she saw it for the first time, but after knowing the reason, she got used to it. Could it be that Zhao Dayan is also the kind of person who sleeps with his eyes open, but I can clearly feel that there is a cold aura on his body.

I took out a fire talisman, this talisman is specially used to deal with ghosts, and then lit it on Zhao Dayan's shoulders and on the top of his head, only to hear three slight pops, short and sharp, and then three faint puffs of green smoke came out.

Zhao Da's eyes softened, and he went directly to the ground, I hurriedly grabbed his shoulders and dragged him to the bed. This guy doesn't look good, but I didn't expect it to be dead.

I went ahead and pulled out a water charm and pasted it directly on the computer screen. The computer screen went out in an instant, and when I looked at the power socket, it was also off, I reached out and touched it, it was cold, and there was no hot feeling after using it at all.

I can't figure out why for these situations for the time being, but I can be sure that there must be something strange or even a big conspiracy in this.

For the sake of safety, I took out eight water charms and eight fire charms, and pasted them on the eight directions of the gossip in the house, and the water and fire charms were directly separated by a foot distance, so that they could continue to complement each other and avoid mutual influence. When I was done, I went back to bed and went back to sleep.

The morning sun came in through the window, sprinkled on my face warmly, I lay on the bed, stretched a big lazy waist, I didn't expect a slap on Zhao Dayan's face, after a loud bang, there was a scream of Zhao Dayan's ghost crying wolf.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! "I was also shocked, I didn't expect this kid to scream so loudly, didn't he just touch it.

But something even worse happened, the landlord's footsteps and the sound of inquiry sounded at the same time, it should have just come out of the room in the main house, "What's wrong!" What happened? Xiao Zhao, Xiao Li, are you all right! ”

Hearing this middle-aged man's panting and concerned inquiry, I couldn't help but be a little moved, I didn't expect that there would be such an enthusiastic person now, "Uncle, we're fine, Zhao Dayan has a nightmare." He replied lightly as he got up and opened the door.

When the landlord saw me open the door, he didn't hesitate, he hurriedly walked in, looked left and right, and after confirming that Zhao Dayan was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiao Zhao doesn't seem to be in good spirits recently, it turns out that he has been having nightmares, go back and let your aunt boil some soothing water for him, he can't break his body at a young age." ”

As he spoke, the landlady looked at the mess in the house again, shook his head and sighed, and then walked out.

I'm also very helpless, Zhao Dayan really doesn't like to clean up, when he was in college, he was the only one to be the last in every housekeeping evaluation in their dormitory.

Looking at the peace and beauty outside, I couldn't help but close my eyes and take two deep breaths. Suddenly, there was a snapping sound in the back......
