Chapter Forty-Nine: The Old Man and the Swallow

It is a narrow and winding alley, giving people a dark and deep feeling, and the crowded space is only enough for one person to walk through normally. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

The sewers in the alleys stink, and dust and scraps of paper fly freely on the pavement. The houses on both sides are densely packed, and the peeling wall skin on the old walls reminds people of the idiom of devastation!

There are not many pedestrians in the alley, and there is a suffocating sense of desolation when walking in it. No matter what happens at night, even in broad daylight, there is not a single ghost to be seen here!

Mu Yubo rubbed the note in his hand repeatedly, looked at it over and over again, and even rubbed his eyes again to confirm that he was not mistaken!

"Guo Zishen, are you sure that this is the correct address for me?" Mu Yubo muttered in his mouth and kept whining!

He would never have thought that the dignified capital city of Gansu Province would hide such a decadent side under the prosperous Lanzhou City on the surface!

This kind of ancient alley, which should have been demolished a long time ago, is still lined here, and even the adobe house of his rural hometown is a hundred times better than this!

Phew!

A gust of wind blew, and the ground not far away was dusty, and scraps of paper and tattered plastic bags flew into the sky. Mu Yubo couldn't help but shake his body!

Syllable!

A big hand slapped Mu Yubo on the back of the head, which really scared him!

"Brother Xiang, what do you want to do? It's going to scare people to death! Mu Yubo turned around and glanced at Ah Xiang, he shook his body, straightened his clothes, and plucked up the courage to walk forward!

"Guo Zishen, this guy doesn't want to kill people, it's not necessary, it shouldn't be!" Ah Xiang followed behind Mu Yubo and said in a strange voice, the corners of Mu Yubo's mouth twitched when he was walking in front, and he ignored him!

A figure floated past Ah Xiang, and Ah Long took the lead to follow, he was still worried about Mu Yubo's safety. Before they understood Guo Zishen's purpose, they couldn't let their guard down!

"No. 44 South Gate Lane!" Walking and stopping for more than ten minutes, there is a feeling of fear. Mu Yubo stretched out his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead, at this moment he was standing at the door of a courtyard!

The red-lacquered gate has long been dilapidated, the paint color on it has turned to dark black, and the thick loess is sticking to it, and only the traces of human palms can be seen on two large rusty iron rings!

The ornaments on the two wooden doors are two hideous blood-colored wolf heads, and the oily green eyes made of special materials are shining at this time, after all, this is a remote area, and the narrow aisles also make it difficult for light to shine in!

"Brother Xiang, do you want to go in?" Mu Yubo looked around, only to see that the dilapidated earthen walls of the courtyard in front of him were covered with green moss and overgrown with weeds. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a legendary haunted house!

"I'm afraid of a hair, look at your two or two people, it's a big shame!" Ah Xiang glanced at Mu Yubo and handed him a look of serious contempt!

"Aaron, you go and take a look, and report back when there is a situation!" Mu Yubo thought that according to Ah Xiang's posture, he would stand up by himself, but he didn't expect that he would actually let Ah Long out!

Compared with Mu Yubo and Ah Xiang's shock, Ah Long is much calmer, which is related to his natural tepid temperament!

Aaron didn't hesitate, he stepped up the steps, where there were a few footprints, and everywhere else was dusty. At this time, after Ah Long passed, there were a few more footprints on the ground!

The squeak is followed by a squeak!

Ah Long put his hand on the big iron ring and tapped gently, but he didn't think that the wooden door actually opened!

As the wooden door opened, the scene inside the courtyard also came into the sight of the three of them.

An adobe house in the middle of a courtyard with an unknown tree planted in the middle of the yard, whose leaves have begun to turn yellow with the arrival of early autumn in September in the north. The door of the room facing the gate was also open, and it was dark inside, and the whole courtyard was silent!

Seeing this scene, Mu Yubo's scalp was even more numb!

Bang bang!

The sound of pounding the medicine jar came, and as the sound continued to ring, gradually, a smell of Chinese herbal medicine spread, and Mu Yubo and the three of them glanced at each other and looked at each other!

"Someone? There's someone in there! Mu Yubo muttered again, in exchange for the sound of Ah Xiang slapping on the back of his head!

"Aren't you talking nonsense, if there is no one, what will Guo Zishen ask us to do?" This time, Ah Xiang took the lead in walking, and his heavyweight body brought a whirlwind, blowing the fallen leaves in the yard!

Ahem·· Ahem·· Cough!

The old man's heavy cough came from the dark room facing the wooden door, adding to the horror of the somewhat gray environment. You must know that it is only two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and after approaching this alley, the weather turned gray.

Mu Yubo knew that this was because the buildings around the alley blocked the light!

"West-North Wolf Mu Yubo? Come on in! The old man's voice came from the back room, and Mu Yubo heard a clanging sound inside, obviously something had been knocked over!

"Grandpa, be careful, I'll help you!" A young man's voice came out from inside, and Mu Yubo and the others knew that there was more than one person here!

No longer hesitating, Mu Yubo strode in, but he slowed down when he walked inside, because the room was too dark, and the dim candlelight seemed insignificant!

The interior furnishings are simple, two wooden beds, a set of tables and chairs and other items, and then there is a medicine jar on the ground, which should be the source of the sound just now!

Bang bang bang!

A few sparks jumped out of thin air in the room, and Mu Yubo smelled the choking smell of dry smoke, and then he saw an old man leaning on a wooden bed with a delicate hookah bottle in his hand! A thin boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old stood beside him!

Through the faint candlelight, you can vaguely see the old man's wrinkled face, with dark spots on it, sparse white hair curly, and a pot behind his rickety body. Judging from his panting appearance, this old man is on the verge of death!

"You can call me Old Man Feng!" The old man took another puff of hookah while talking, and the room was filled with the smell of medicine and hookah, mixed together!

"The Northwest - Wolf is the totem of our Northwest people, although you have the name of the Northwest - Wolf, but you do not have the shape of the Northwest - Wolf, this is not possible, it is not possible!" Mu Yubo saw the old man shake his head, his cloudy eyes shining in the faint candlelight, the old man squeezed his eyes and sniffed.

"Yanzi, you come and tell him the purpose of letting him come this time, I'm an old bone, I can't stand too much nonsense.

This is the last work of art in my life, and I must find someone who can afford it. I have tattooed countless old men in my life, twenty years ago, I washed my hands in a golden basin, and now for the sake of the Northwest-Wolf Totem, it doesn't hurt for me to shoot again, anyway, my old bones can't jump for a few days! ”
