Soon, before I knew it, it was autumn and October again. And I have made a lot of progress on all fronts in my studies, relationships and money-making plans, and it can really be regarded as a harvest season.

It was the National Day holiday again, and Han Jie went back to Nanting County for something, while I chose to stay in the provincial capital and wait for her to come back. In fact, I have already made a plan, as soon as Han Jie comes back, I will take her to Yazhou City for a vacation. It is still sunny and warm at this time, if you can book a five-star hotel sea view room, as soon as you step out of the balcony to the sea, blue sky and sand, it is absolutely romantic enough!

I'm also ready for the money to go on vacation, and I've made a lot of money with the mustache recently, so it's still affordable to have an occasional luxury. However, my wishful thinking was shattered by a phone call from Mustache on October 2nd.

"Are you home for National Day?"

"Nope." I then asked, "You called, didn't you tell me that you also have to take on tasks during the National Day holiday?" ”

"Congratulations, you guessed it right!"

"! When did you become so diligent? No kidding! I'm going to take my girlfriend out for two days in two days! ”

"Oh, so?" The mustache hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it!" ”

"Hey!" I told him not to hang up the phone yet, and tried to ask, "What kind of task is it, if it is not troublesome, I can consider participating." ”

"It's troublesome! And I have to go on a business trip to Lexi County! However......" The mustache made another trick that he tried and tested against me: "The reward is very generous!" ”

I rolled my eyes and cursed silently. But after struggling in my heart, I still reluctantly asked, "Let's talk about what the task is, right?" ”

"Actually, it's a private job!" The mustache suddenly said, "It's not a sect mission. ”

"Private work?" I was a little surprised.

The mustache said: "Well, because it was an old customer who came directly to me for the commission, so I can't refuse." By the way, you often deal with this old customer! ”

"Who?"

"It's one of the customers you've seen a few times in my shop, big, tattooed, and likes to wear sunglasses when they come in the middle of the night."

"Oh! I'm impressed! "I think there was such a person. His level of treasure appreciation is not lower than that of his master, and every time he comes, the two of them always have to argue about the price.

The mustache said: "He is quite famous in the inverted bucket circle, and he also has several horses under his hands, specifically looking for the big tomb to start, and the people in the rivers and lakes say: 'Brother Xiong'!" This is because he is big and has a bear tattooed on his back. ”

"What's the matter with this Brother Xiong looking for you? In his name, do you still need to beg you to do something in private? "I doubt it.

The mustache smiled and said, "This time, Brother Xiong may be really annoyed!" Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to me for help. How's that, is there any interest? If so, come to my store at twelve o'clock tonight, and Brother Xiong will come over for an interview in person. I can assure you that the honorarium will be indispensable. And this time, the honorarium does not need to be handed over to the sect's finance, and in the end, no matter what the price is, we will be seven or three, and I will be seven and you three! ”

"No! At least June Fourth! "How could I easily let go of this opportunity to kill him," I sacrificed the time to take my girlfriend out on vacation, and this kind of holiday overtime pay should also be counted! ”

"Deal!"

The mustache readily agreed, and hung up the phone, causing me to hesitate again. The more cheerful he is, the more troublesome the mission is likely to be!

However, since you have promised others, you can't go back on it. I rode the little electric donkey to the mustachioed antique shop on time that night. Brother Xiong actually arrived early, and seemed to attach great importance to this meeting. Since they are all acquaintances, after a simple greeting, Brother Xiong began to tell the origin of this commission in detail:

Brother Xiong has two brothers, one named Ah Dong and the other Ah Cheng, who are his most powerful assistants. is called a brother, but he personally came out, although he has not formally apprenticed, he can actually be regarded as half an apprentice. Brother Xiong is now famous, and ordinary tombs can't enter his eyes at all, and it is only occasionally when he discovers the big tomb that he rarely goes out of the mountain to guide it in person.

This time, Brother Xiong got a clue from elsewhere, saying that there was a big tomb hidden in Dawangling in Lexi County, which was probably a prince-level mausoleum. So, Brother Xiong sent his two right-hand assistants, Ah Dong and Ah Cheng, to explore the road first. If it is confirmed that the rumors are reliable, he plans to personally lead the team to the inverted fight.

Ah Dong and Ah Cheng arrived at Dawangling, and they kept in touch with Brother Xiong for the first few days, and took some photos of the local terrain and mountains and sent them to him, asking for his opinion. But on the evening of the fifth day, Ah Dong and Ah Cheng cut off contact with Brother Xiong. The last message they sent to Brother Xiong was: "I found a burial tomb in the Tanuki Forest in the northwest, which has been stolen, and I am going to go down and have a look at it at night." ”

And Brother Xiong's reply to them was: "Agreed." ”

According to Brother Xiong, this kind of tomb that has obviously been stolen is likely to have nothing left in it. The main purpose of their descent was to see the shape and specifications of the tomb, and if it was certain that it was a burial tomb, then the location and size of the main tomb could be further deduced. Similarly, there is generally no too much danger in such a tomb, and with Ah Dong and Ah Cheng's skills, it is basically the same as going to a museum to visit and investigate.

But it's such a simple action, but it has become their ghost door, and there is no return!

Brother Xiong couldn't sit still on the third day after losing contact with the front, because there was no reason why his subordinates would suddenly not report the situation to him. If it was just a communication problem, thirty-six hours had passed, and it was impossible that they could not find a phone to call him. If it was Ah Dong and Ah Cheng who took shit luck, picked up a big leak in a stolen tomb, and got a big treasure, they shouldn't have run away so abruptly. They can pretend that it's okay and come back and figure out how to do it.

So, the only plausible explanation is: they had an accident! And it's likely that something happened!

Brother Xiong immediately decided to go over and see what went wrong in person! He took two other experienced horses with him, and drove to a small mountain village under Dawangling in Lexi County that day. Although Brother Xiong is anxious, with his **hu habits, he still has to be cautious. That night, the three of them came to reinforce and stayed at the house of a hunter in the village.

That Orion is called Fu Ya Cannon, but he doesn't hunt much anymore. The local area is a gathering area of the Miao people, and in order to take care of the living customs of ethnic minorities, there is no strict prohibition on hunting wild animals in the mountains. However, the wild animals that are still worth hunting on Dawangling have been listed as protected animals, and even if you can occasionally hunt a few rabbits and chickadees, they can't sell them for a few dollars, and you can't fill your stomach. Therefore, the local Miao people have long begun to rely on the cultivation of mountain rice and fruits as economic support, and abandoned hunting and farming.

But this Fu Ya Cannon is an idle master, who does not want to engage in hard field work, but aims at the profession of being a guide. Dawangling has not yet been developed into a tourist area, and there are still a lot of various natural scenery, but it does not belong to the reserve, so it has attracted some travelers to come to explore. Fu Yapao relied on providing homestays for these travelers, and occasionally led the team into the mountains to earn some spare money.

Brother Xiong and his entourage had a simple farmhouse meal at Fu Yapao's house at night, so they grabbed the master's house and began to inquire about the situation in the mountains, intentionally or unintentionally.

Fu Yapao asked Brother Xiong: "What are the three bosses planning to do in the mountains?" ”

Brother Xiong replied: "We are all from the city, and we have seen a lot of high-rise buildings, so we want to come here to see the mountains and water." ”

Fu Ya said: "Okay! Our mountains and rivers here are the most beautiful! It's much better than those tourist attractions that cost more money to buy tickets! ”

Brother Xiong said: "Then you can introduce me to a few places with good scenery." ”

Fu Yapao picked a few places that he often led the group to and introduced them to Brother Xiong one by one. His eloquence is very average, and his Mandarin is not standard, but it does not prevent him from speaking wildly and eloquently. Brother Xiong listened to Fu Yapao for a long time, but he didn't hear the name of the place he wanted to inquire about, so he had to think of other excuses again.

Brother Xiong looked up and looked around, and found a long-barreled ** gun hanging on one of the walls of Fu Yapao's house, so he had an idea, pointed to the gun and asked, "Ya Pao, can you still shoot this gun?" ”

"I can fight! Why can't you fight? Fu Yapao glared at the beads and said, "If you shoot a bird, you will pretend to be ** and iron powder, if you put an iron tip inside, it will be no problem to fight a wild boar!" ”

When Brother Xiong heard this, he deliberately said: "Then you take us to hunt wild boars tomorrow, and I will hire you as a guide!" ”

"No, no, no!" Fu Yapao hurriedly shook his head, "The wild boar won't be beaten now!" If I hit a wild boar, the police station will come and arrest me! ”

"So what can be hit? Can a raccoon dog fight or not? ”

"Civets can't do it, ordinary tree civets can fight!"

"Where are there so many civets?"

"Tanuki Forest!"

"Where is the Tanuki Forest?"

"It's just to the northwest, over a hill!"

Brother Xiong finally asked the answer he wanted to hear, so he followed Fu Yacang's words: "Then you will take us to the Tanuki Forest tomorrow, okay?" ”

Fu Yapao suddenly became slumped again, and said, "It's okay to take you to play, but this gun can't be let you fight casually!" ”

Brother Xiong naturally understood what he was thinking, so he slapped his thigh very simply, and said, "The cost of shooting is calculated separately!" If you really hit the raccoon, I'll give you more money! ”

Early the next morning, Brother Xiong and the three of them followed Fu Yapao all the way to the Tanuki Forest. Fu Yapao said it was light last night, but where is a mountain so easy to turn? Brother Xiong and the two guys are usually used to sitting in cars and blowing air conditioners, and the long journey in the mountains like this makes them feel miserable.
