Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read.
The next morning, Huzi and I set off, and when we left, it was still raining, and when we walked through the forest and through the small hill in front, the rain stopped, and the sky opened rarely, and we saw the sun that had been absent for a long time.
Huzi put his arm around my shoulders, looked at the group of roe deer under the big tree in front of me, and said, "Old Chen, it's sunny this day." ”
I said, "It's not going to be sunny for three days, but it's still going to rain." The most important thing is that it has rained for several days in a row, and the floating soil covering the Oolong Hall is like thick porridge, and the dragon has no way to start. ”
Huzi sighed and said, "Yes, it seems that it is not so easy to enter this Oolong Palace. Seeing that the main hall is in front of me, I just don't want to go in, I'm really anxious. It's all money! ”
I took the gun from my back and slowly crouched on the ground, and I said, "It's okay, we still have food so we don't starve here." ”
Huzi said: "When we go back, we will pick some mountain vegetables and cook them to eat, a mouthful of meat, a mouthful of vegetables, just a pot of wine." I think Hu Junjie has wine over there, but I don't want to ask them, just like begging them. ”
I raised my shotgun and whispered, "Don't ask for wine, otherwise this Hu Junjie will think that we have weaknesses." As the saying goes, if you don't want to be strong, let's still endure it. Besides, drinking delays things, and you can drink as much as you want when you're fine. ”
Huzi and I hit two roe deer smoothly and smoothly, and it happened to be noon when we came back. Since we still had food, we sold both roe deer to Hu Junjie. Hu Junjie was not hypocritical, and gave us a white slip of 40,000 yuan.
Huzi was a little melancholy when he held the note, he leaned against the wall on the second floor, looked at the note, and said, "Lao Chen, do you think we can redeem the money when we go back?" This Hu Junjie won't be repaid! ”
I said, "Don't think so much, even if Hu Junjie doesn't give money, can we watch them starve to death?" Besides, if they starve to death, they'll kill us first. If you can get a white strip, you'll be content, what do you want to do so much?! ”
Huzi sighed and said, "Yes, but this Hu family has a big business, and maybe they don't care about this money." ”
I said, "It's not a few bucks, and as time goes on, the white stripes will get more and more." It could be hundreds of thousands. ”
Huzi suddenly became excited at this time, sat up straight and said, "Lao Chen, if we have hundreds of thousands, buy a house first." When the time comes, take your third aunt and my second father over, and we will live together. ”
I hummed and said, "My third aunt is not a bad woman, but I think she is better than my mother." If it weren't for Chen Junru, my father would definitely marry the third aunt. ”
Huzi smiled and said, "Then there will be no you kid!" Comrade Chen, you are glad to have such a good grandfather as Chen Junru. ”
After the vegetables are cooked, they are taken out, mixed with salt, and eaten in the mouth. Eaten with meat, it is absolutely delicious.
Huzi said, "If only there was minced garlic and chili oil." ”
The second pick-up said: "Think beautifully! It's nice to have something to eat. ”
I said, "Second uncle, today I saw that Hu Junjie's people began to explore the way, intending to find a way out of the valley." ”
Erzhu'er waved his hand and said, "Don't even think about it, there is only one way to get out, and that is to wait for the flood to go down, and then make a raft and row out." There is no second way to go. ”
Huzi said: "The people of the Hu family are too, knowing that Hu Junjie is coming, they don't bring anyone to pick them up." ”
I said, "The Hu family knows that Hu Junjie has brought someone to follow us, but it doesn't mean that the Hu family knows that they have entered this Black Dragon Valley. It is estimated that the Hu family is also worried about the safety of this group of people now. But if you want to find us, look for a needle in a haystack. ”
Er Zhu'er said: "Stay in peace, don't have unrealistic ideas." Hide in the house after dark and don't go out, the Black Dragon Prince will not come into the house to catch soldiers. ”
Huzi said: "Second father, where is the black dragon prince?" You are feudal superstition. I'm telling you, it's just a trick. ”
Erzhu'er didn't refute, didn't say anything, lay down next to him, and went to sleep.
Huzi and I ate with a round stomach, and then began to regret that there was no good wine. After all, now we have nothing to do here, eating barbecue and drinking some liquor, that is the beauty!
Now we also want to open, since we are trapped, we will simply live here and strive to gain two pounds when we go out.
Huzi and I had nothing to do, and we started talking about cars, women, F16 fighters and aircraft carriers in the United States, and the international situation. There was really nothing to talk about, so I simply stopped talking and fell asleep on the hot floor.
I didn't wake up until the evening, and when I was bored, I went to the front hall with Huzi and saw that the people in the hall were carrying gasoline cans to make gasoline/bombs.
They poured gasoline into bottles and stuffed rags.
Look at the side, more than a dozen have been made.
Without waiting for us to ask, Grandpa Bai came over and said, "If the Yin soldiers pass in front of the door again tonight, let them be buried in the fire." ”
Among the two disciples of the Earth Dragon, the strong man was wiping his cart, and the woman was wiping his steel shovel. The earth dragon walked over with his hands behind his back, snorted and said, "Lao Bai, do you think that's a Yin soldier?" I think someone is pretending to be a ghost. ”
Hu Junjie snorted, held a gasoline bottle in his hand, held it up and said, "It doesn't matter if he is a human or a ghost, if he dares to come tonight, let him taste the power of gasoline/bombs." ”
I nodded at this time, and said with a snort: "Everyone, you are well-informed, have you heard of the Mo Family Organ and the Cloud Machine Society?" ”
Grandpa Bai was the first to react and said, "How did you learn about this Mo family organ and the Cloud Machine Society?" These are all top secret things in the rivers and lakes! ”
I said, "To tell you the truth, my grandmother used to be a young lady from a big family, and she had some books, which were mentioned in the collection. ”
Grandpa Bai said, "Really? Did the book say the whereabouts of the Mo family and the Cloud Machine Society? ”
Without waiting for me to say, Huzi hurriedly said, "Lao Chen, did you mention it?" By the way, is the surname of this Mo family Mo? Go to the police station and check the household registration to find it! ”
Obviously, Huzi didn't want them to know anything about the Mo Family's organs and the Cloud Machine Society.
Grandpa Bai shook his head with a smile and said, "Although there are not many people with the surname Mo, there are also many of them, most of them are in the Sichuan and Shaanxi generations. There are also a group of people surnamed Mo in Cangzhou, Hebei, and even in the capital, there are some families with the surname Mo. As for which is the inheritance of the Mohist organ, it is unknown. As for the Cloud Machine Society, there is no trace of it, they are not a family inheritance, but a master and an apprentice. I've tried to inquire, but there's been no news. ”
I said, "Grandpa Bai, what are you looking for the Mo family heirs and the Cloud Machine Society?" ”
Grandpa Bai smiled: "If you don't do anything, you're just curious." ”
I know that Grandpa Bai is not as simple as curiosity, to put it bluntly, who doesn't want to get this jaw-dropping ability? Sensei said something else, I learned the tricks of the Cloud Machine Club, even if I set up a stall to perform, I can eat and wear for the rest of my life.
It was sunny, and the wind was blowing before dark, but it was not very cool because of the humidity in the wind. Grandpa Bai looked at the sky and said, "It's going to rain again, and this day hasn't been completely opened." ”
The earth dragon leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed, looked at the street outside and said, "General Hu, do you think this Yin soldier will still come?" ”
Hu Junjie snorted and said, "If you don't come today, you will come sooner or later." ”
As he spoke, the wind stopped and foggy outside. I muttered, "It's coming." ”
Huzi and I went back to the second floor of the backyard and told Erzhu'er about it, and Erzhu'er was noncommittal. This time it didn't stop the two of us from participating in this matter, it seems that he actually doubted the authenticity of the Yin Soldier in his heart.
After eating, Huzi and I went out into the hall, and a group of us were ambushed inside the door, staring intently at the street outside.
The fog grew heavier and heavier, and soon, the thick fog rolled down the mountain, still bringing with it the smell of that fruit. After smelling this breath, the person immediately relaxed, and the tension disappeared immediately.
I've found that the breath calms people down, and it doesn't hallucinate.
After ten minutes, I looked at my watch, and it was 10:46 p.m. I heard crackling footsteps in the distance, and I whispered, "Here we are!" ”
Hu Junjie whispered: "Everyone listen to my orders, wait for this Yin soldier to arrive at the door, light the gasoline bottle, and throw it out together." ”
"Understood."
"Understood."
……
Faintly, the group of people was getting closer and closer, and there were still maids carrying lanterns on the front and back sides, and dozens of guards escorting the big sedan chair slowly. The lantern can already be seen faintly.
Judging by the light of the lantern, it should be within fifty meters. I whispered, "It's almost here, you can light the fire, get ready." ”
Hu Junjie ordered: "Ignition." ”
