Chapter 6: A Visit to Beverly Road
The car quickly got on the highway, and the sound of whirring wind was heard in my ears、、、
"Master Li, isn't Fu Hong Street in the downtown area?" Gao Qing asked puzzled.
"Who told you that Beverly Street is in the city?" Lao Li asked Gao Qing rhetorically.
Gao Qing pouted and muttered, "Is it still in the deep mountains and old forests?" ”
"Hehe, the young man is really right."
"Ah, really in the mountains?" Gao Qing was shocked.
Soon, the car got off the highway and drove towards a downtown area、、、
"Let's go, get out of the car and buy something first." Lao Li greeted Gao Qing.
"Buying something? What to buy? Gao Qing followed Lao Li in confusion.
Soon, the two returned to the car with their big bags, and Lan Lan looked at the two in puzzlement.
"How do you buy so much food?"
"I don't know, Master Li called it to buy it." Gao Qing pointed at Lao Li.
And Lao Li just smiled meaningfully、、、、
One hour later, the three of them came to the mountains far away from the city, which was exceptionally quiet compared to the hustle and bustle of the city.
Gao Qing got out of the car and exhaled deeply.
"Thank you to nature for giving us the sweet air."
Lan Lan and Lao Li behind Gao Qing looked at Gao Qing like they were looking at the second force, but Gao Qing ignored them.
Others laugh at me for being too stupid, and I laugh at the artistic conception that others can't see.
"Okay, when I arrive, I'll send you here, thank you, a total of 400 yuan." Lao Li stretched out his hand to Gao Qing.
"Uh, aren't you with us?" Gao Qing asked.
"Hehe, I was only responsible for sending you here, but I didn't say I wanted to be with you." Lao Li smiled.
"That, this? Master Li, you see, we are not familiar with this place, and the survival ability of our two young people in the deep mountains and old forests is limited, you see, can you join us? Gao Qing said cheekily. Just kidding, if you don't have someone familiar with the geographical location to lead the way, you won't enter here if you kill me. Obviously, this Lao Li should be no stranger to this place, but he knows Fukang Street, which others have not heard of. Therefore, no matter what, you have to fool him with you.
"It's not impossible for me to go with you, it's just 、、、," Lao Li said slowly.
"Just what? Uncle, you always say it directly. Gao Qing slapped his ass as soon as he slipped it.
"You'll have to pay me a salary, 300 a day." Lao Li said with a smile.
"That's a must." After speaking, he looked at Lan Lan again, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious, you have to put it on first.
"Pay for 3 days upfront." Lao Li's current appearance is no different from that of a scoundrel.
"Blue Blue?" Gao Qing looked at the girl beside him.
"I only have six hundred, and eighty-three zeros." Lan Lan glanced at Gao Qing, and Gao Qing also laughed twice and directly ignored Lan Lan.
"Uncle, you see, there are only six hundred and eighty-three, and I will go back to you for the rest, do you think?" Gao Qing took the money in Lan Lan's hand and looked at Lao Li.
"Okay, don't forget to give me the rest when you go back?" Lao Li put the money in his pocket.
"Deller." Gao Qing readily agreed, but saw the anger on Lan Lan's face beside him.
"Hehe、、、 I'll give you the money right away when I go back." Gao Qing pulled Lan Lan and said.
"Go back? Let's see if there's that luck? Lao Li looked up at the mountain in front of him with a sad face.
Gao Qing and Lan Lan shivered all over their bodies when they heard Lao Li's words、、、
After glancing at each other, Gao Qing gave a positive look.
The three of them carried bags full of food and walked deep into the mountains、、、
"Uncle, is there no one living here?" Gao Qing shouted one uncle after another, obviously climbing the relationship.
"There used to be something, but then it didn't." Lao Li replied to Gao Qing while chopping down the vines blocking the road ahead.
"Have they all migrated out?" Gao Qing continued to ask.
"No, they're all dead inside." After Lao Li finished speaking, he glanced at Gao Qing again.
Gao Qing's palms were shocked into a cold sweat, and they all died inside? Plague or something else?
Lao Li seemed to see Gao Qing's thoughts.
"Don't worry, that was twenty years ago." Lao Li explained to Gao Qing.
"Oh、、、" Gao Qingnuo replied.
I didn't say anything all the way, and I walked for about 1 hour, and I saw a birch tree in the past, and occasionally a few mulberry trees in the middle.
Soon, Lao Li stopped、、、
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Gao Qing asked.
"Here we are." Lao Li said to the two people behind him.
There are two rows of wooden houses in front of you, but you can't see how long they are, and because of the angle at which the three of them are standing, you can only see two rows of about 20 wooden houses.
Picking up the vines, the three of them walked towards the wooden house, which was basically two, covering an area of about 100 square meters, which was not very large.
"This is Beverly Street?" Lan Lan asked.
Lao Li didn't speak, just nodded.
The three of them came to the street, and a wooden sign swayed on a tree pole: "Beverly Street".
Gao Qing's face was surprised, and it has not changed since he saw the wooden house.
"Beverly Street? Huh,, right? Gao Qing looked incredulous.
"Don't talk nonsense, you can't think of what will happen here?" Lao Li reminded.
The three of them walked towards the entrance of the street, stepping on the blue-brown stones under their feet, giving people a very stable feeling, Gao Qing saw that the structure of each house was similar.
"Okay, it's almost noon, let's eat something first, and we'll go to the 14th in the afternoon." Lao Li commanded.
Soon, the three of them chose a wooden house that looked fairly intact and walked in.
"Squeak、、、
The sound of opening the door is a bit harsh, maybe the door buckle has not been cared for for many years and has rusted.
What caught the eyes of the three of them was a wall made of logs, and there was nothing pasted on, it looked very clean, but maybe it was too long, the walls were yellow, and the room was filled with a musty smell, Lao Li walked to the window, opened the window, and this house also has a skylight, after opening, the air and sunlight entered the room, and now it looks like there is no dim and stuffy when he first came in.
In the corner of the room, there was a small round wooden chair on which a kerosene lamp was placed, but it did not seem to be kerosene in the lamp, otherwise the kerosene would have dried up after so long, and it would have been a mass of gray-white wax inside.
"It's crystal oil, it's flammable and has a long shelf life, and it's generally used in mountainous areas." Lao Li explained.
Gao Qing's gaze suddenly saw the west wall、、、
There was a ** hanging on the west wall, and Gao Qing stretched out his hand to take it down and take a look.
"It's best not to move the furnishings in the house, we're just staying for a while." Lao Li walked over.
Gao Qing glanced at Lao Li deeply, didn't say anything, and beckoned Lan Lan to take out the food.
After the three of them finished eating, Lao Li said that he would go out to have a look first、、、、
"Gao Qing, have you noticed that this Master Li is a little strange? It seems like? Lan Lan stood behind Gao Qing and said.
"It seems to be familiar with everything here." Gao Qing glanced at Lan Lan and said.
"Well, he seemed to know about it from the beginning, and he didn't show any surprise." Lan Lan continued.
"I found out a long time ago, from the moment we went to the store to buy a bunch of food, I noticed that something was wrong, how did he know that there was no one here, and he only needed to buy food, not tents. And then there was the lamp, how did he know that the lamp was crystal oil? Outside, it's not called crystal tree oil, but human oil. Gao Qing's brows were tightly locked.
"What, you say it's human oil?" Lan Lan exclaimed, looked at the oil lamp not far away, and subconsciously leaned towards Gao Qing.
"One more thing, he said not to move the room around." Gao Qing touched his chin and thought.
"What about this Master Li?" Lan Lan asked cautiously.
"I don't know, let's take a look first, I really shouldn't have brought you on an adventure this time, I'm sorry." Gao Qing looked at the girl opposite. For a moment, the sperm worm got into the brain and took Lan Lan's hand.
Lan Lan's face was instantly surprised, and then turned red, and when Gao Qing had the next move, a cough sounded outside the door. Gao Qing turned around and looked out the door, only to see Lao Li standing outside the door.
"Is this old guy so coincidental?" Gao Qing scolded in his heart.
Lan Lan shook off Gao Qing's hand and ran out the door、、、、
"Blue blue 、、、," Gao Qing shouted from behind.
"Go and see, don't run around at this time." Lao Li's voice sounded behind Gao Qing.
Gao Qing glanced at Lao Li and ran in the direction of Lan Lan、、、
Lao Li smiled, shook his head and walked into the house.
