Chapter 50: The Sheep's Face Hotel
After Ah Jin finished speaking, there was an abrupt silence in the car for more than ten seconds.
Gangzi and I secretly glanced at each other, and instantly understood what the other party meant
- These two people may have robbed the road in the mountains.
At this juncture, the fat man who drove the car laughed twice, which was barely enough to break the embarrassment, "This little sister has a smart nose, I have washed this car twice." Xiao Zuo and I are dragging wild game in the mountains, and it is normal for the car to smell blood, don't be afraid. ”
Left and right also slapped the fat man complainingly, "How many times have you said that you have washed it and washed it up, how disgusting it is in the summer." ”
There is no problem with the demeanor and tone of these two people, if the words in their mouths are not true, then these two people are definitely Oscar-level actors, I really don't see anything unusual at all.
At this point, I quickly quipped: "This is our sister, her nose has been smarter than a dog since she was a child, don't mind." By the way, you guys are pouring wild meat, speaking of which, my eldest brother and I really haven't eaten much, if you have more goods, I will spend money to buy a little with you, okay? ”
Left and right waved their hands in a big way, "What to buy, let's pack dinner today!" ”
The broken gold cup dangled in the mountains until more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and we finally came to a small mountain village called "Sheep Face".
The village is small, and it doesn't even feel like a village.
Left and right told us that this used to be a stack for hunters to rest, and over time, the scale slowly became what it is now.
The layout of Yangyanzi Village is a ring, and in the center of the village is a small game market, around which two circles of adobe houses are built, which are the hunters' own houses.
Further out, there is a lonely two-story wooden building on the edge of the village, which is the only small inn in Yangyanzi Village.
Left and right parked the car with the fat man and went into the game market and came out, and the three of us came to the small two-story inn.
There is a dilapidated light box with colored characters hanging at the door of the hotel, the light is no longer on, and the word "Yang'er Hotel" on it has also fallen to only one horizontal, and there is dilapidation and depression everywhere.
When you enter the door, everything in the hotel seems to be made of wood, and there are wooden tables and chairs in the middle of the hall, and wooden dishes and chopsticks on the tabletop.
Especially the long counter in the corner, which was simply made by directly moving two tree trunks and pulling out a drawer to build up.
The counter was about a meter away from the wall, and there was a bed stuffed inside, and on the bed lay an old man in shabby clothes, sleeping soundly with his back to us.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, we want to open two rooms." I whispered.
The old man moved down with great difficulty, and said in a daze, "A few people." ”
I put three ID cards on the counter and said, "Three people, I want to open two rooms." ”
The old man let out an "um", then yawned happily and sat up, and when he turned to look at us, Gangzi and I involuntarily took a step back.
The old man's two eyes were actually two black hollows.
The old man reached under the pillow and pulled out a pair of glasses to cover my eyes, and I felt a little more comfortable.
The old man grinned with yellow teeth and smiled a little scary, "Don't be afraid, the eagle pecked." ”
The old generation is basically falconry, that is, cooperative hunting between hunters and eagles and hunting dogs, and eagles are the main body of hunting tactics.
It is said that a good falconer can almost do nothing with his own falcon during hunting.
As long as the hunter whistles, the eagle can even pinpoint the white hair behind the hare's ear.
Maybe this old man was a falconer when he was young, but it is estimated that his skills will not be too good, after all, he has lost his eyeballs.
Gangzi actually went with me, and said half-jokingly, "Old man, you are half a generation of people who have cut your fingers, and you have pecked your eyes by playing eagles all day long, and you are careless in Jingzhou!" ”
I thought the old man would be angry, but I didn't expect him to just shake his head self-deprecatingly, "Thick-necked child, if you knew what the old man had encountered at the beginning, you wouldn't have said such things." ”
Gangzi touched his neck in shock, and I stared at the old man's face!
Isn't he blind... His eyeballs are gone...
The old man stretched out his hand and took away the three ID cards on the table, "The old man and the Black Eagle brother have cooperated and fought for a lifetime, who would have thought that it would take my eyes and I pulled its mouth, what an irony." ”
These words were low and long, and I really felt a helpless sadness.
Later, when I was curious about how the old man should register our ID cards, he actually took out a digital camera from under the counter, and then took pictures of the front and back of our ID cards with great skill.
In the end, it is still a society where technology is supreme, and I thought that the old people would let us register ourselves.
After the formalities were completed, Gangzi and Ah Jin went upstairs first, and I waited for the old man to find the money and planned to go upstairs to rest and rest, I just turned around, and the old man gently slapped the table.
"Smelly kid, do you want to go to Hehedong?"
I was stunned, after all, whether this sentence is the first half or the second half, it is equivalent to a shock to me.
He actually knew my background and purpose.
"Old man... The junior has eyes and doesn't know Taishan... How do you know..."
The old man didn't answer me, but fumbled unhurriedly at the counter.
After touching for a long time, there was a sound of "dangchang" from the counter, and at the same time, the old man raised his eyebrows, presumably he had touched what he wanted.
"The sheep's face is deep in the mountains and old forests, and there are very few people who come here, and there are even fewer people like you who have a stench on their bodies. But I remember that all the distant guests with the smell must have come here in search of Hehedong, and I have never seen an exception in decades."
I understand what the old man meant, he took me for a bad person.
I was just about to tell the old man that my intention to find the cave was very simple, just to save people, but the old man raised his hand and threw the thing that he had just touched out of the counter.
The thing flew straight towards my front door, and as soon as I reached out my hand, I subconsciously grabbed it into my palm.
The thing was cold and hard, and when I opened my palm, it was a rusty arrowhead, about a finger long, but hollow, and it looked like a metal stub, and it was already rusty.
"Child, this is called a ringing arrow and an arrow, and it originally had an arrow shaft behind it. It's actually an iron whistle, and when it is put on the string, the air makes an eagle-like sound when it passes through the air tube, which is also a signal for me to meet the black eagle brother. ”
