Chapter 37: Footsteps in the Valley
It's been a week since I came back from City C, and the mobile phone card has been done.
As for the wounds on my body, it's good.
Wu Qian is still elusive, and my fourth brother and I are making coffins in the storefront.
"Xiao Baisheng, I heard that you performed well this time." Rosie sat on an unpainted coffin board with her long legs crossed.
I can't see that the second brother is still a carpenter, and he does everything to make coffins, although most of these things in the shop are purchased from other places, but when he doesn't take the job, he helps the second brother make coffins.
It is said that before the second brother became a Taoist priest, he had been a carpenter master for many years, and he had taken several apprentices, so he somehow became a Taoist priest, but the carpenter's craftsmanship was not lost, and the movement of making a coffin was very smooth.
I swept the sawdust on the ground into a pile, "Don't listen to the fourth brother's nonsense, don't you see my injury, don't you mention how miserable it is." ”
"Isn't this all skin trauma, manly husband is still afraid of this?" Rosie laughed, and I knew she was making fun of me again.
"I'm not a warrior, I'm afraid." I leaned the broom back in my chair.
"I also heard that there is a little girl pestering you, hooking your wrist or something." Rosie smiled even more.
"Fourth brother! Didn't you say it! "I looked at the fourth brother who had been silent in the distance, and I was a little angry.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect us to be so popular in vain." Rosie got up from the coffin board and walked over to me.
"But the boss seems to be a little injured this time."
"Huh?" I was shocked that Wu Qian would be injured, "How do you know, then where is he now." ”
"The boss is haunted all day long, and if he is not in the far north, he is out on the waves." Rosie found a chair next to me and sat down, "It's just a coincidence, but. ”
"I hope you never experience such a dangerous thing again." Rosie's eyes were melancholy.
"It's not about money, you have been making trouble from L City to C City, and now the reputation of the Far North has begun, but there must be all kinds of troublesome things, or there are more tricky lists waiting for you to pick up, this is the first time I have seen the boss injured, and I am very worried."
Why did she tell me this, I looked at Rosie, and then at the fourth brother who was staring at me.
"It's okay, I believe Wu Qian, this time it's just an accident, hundreds of lives, the scale is definitely not ordinary, normal, with Wu Qian's character, there will definitely be something dangerous that won't call us to go." I comforted Rosie.
"You know I won't?" Outside the door, Wu Qian's voice came, and he appeared in everyone's sight in the next second.
"Pack up, there's a list." Wu Qian walked in and said as he walked.
"In the deep mountains, it is a bit remote, and you still need to walk a little way to the destination, and if you want to arrive before dark, you must go to Bahe Village before 5 o'clock in the afternoon."
I took out my phone and saw that it was already three o'clock.
I know that Bahe Village is in our district, which belongs to another town, and when I was a child, I seemed to have followed my grandmother to visit relatives in that village.
Even now, with the development of traffic, it will take more than an hour to get there.
"What are the things that are needed?" Rosie asked.
"Package three." Wu Qian coldly dropped this sentence and went to the backyard.
There was a lot of yellow mud on his sneakers, which was a little strange to me, but I didn't usually pay much attention to it, maybe he was wearing white shoes this time, which was a bit eye-catching.
"Sister Qian, what a package three." Watching Wu Qian leave, I asked curiously, I really don't know the charging rules of the extreme north for so long.
"Generally speaking, the base price of 4,000 should also consider the transportation issues, and the cost of package three selected by this customer should be more than 10,000." Rosie stood up, "Fourth brother, go and call the fifth, I'll go prepare things first, and set off quickly." ”
What? Is it so expensive to invite a Taoist priest now!
I consoled myself that I was just a driver, a driver.
Then Wu Qian should be very rich, but why have they always lived in this small town, and he doesn't necessarily look rich.
Tsk, that's weird.
Since I didn't have anything to prepare, I thought that I might have to wait a few more days in the mountains, so I brought a piece of clothing and a coat, and by the way, I took a few new toothbrushes and a box of toothpaste.
Helping to carry the drums to the trunk, I got into the car.
Take a look ahead.
In addition to this public business car, Wu Qian still has a private car.
And, almost every time he went out to run errands, he wouldn't ride in my car, he would drive his own car.
I don't know much about cars, I don't know what brand of car it is, but it's a car, and it's much stronger than my dick.
Following Wu Qian's car, we set off.
From the provincial road, we got off the highway, turned to our district, and then went to the village road.
An hour later we entered the mountain, and the village of Bahe was in the middle of this winding mountain road.
Separated by two mountains.
When the car stopped in a ravine, I looked out the window at the stream with a wooden bridge over it, and a winding path that led into the woods.
I think that's the way to go.
The third brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother got out of the car and moved their things down.
I was responsible for driving the car to the dam of the nearby village committee and parking.
After walking two steps, we reached the river beach.
Wu Qian was behind me, and I ran towards the fourth brother and them first.
"Fourth brother, you are walking so fast, you can find your way." I yelled at the fourth brother who was walking the fastest.
"Just this road, where do you want to go, don't you see the yellow paper sprinkled on the side of this road." The fourth brother's voice was not very loud, but it was extremely loud in this empty valley.
"Wu Qian hasn't come yet, aren't you waiting for him?" I walked at the back and shouted.
It may have just rained, and the yellow paper sprinkled on the side of the road was wet, and many people walked on this road and then stepped on it.
It was originally a yellow mud road, so it was even more difficult to distinguish when it fell into it.
"He doesn't have to worry about the boss, he has been here beforehand." The fourth brother's laughter came from the front.
It may be that I don't walk this mountain road much, and my feet are much slower, and when the fourth brother and they climbed the previous hurdle, I was still on the next hurdle.
"Sixth, you go quickly, it's getting dark." The fourth brother walked to the end of the four-person queue and called me from time to time.
I glanced at my phone, and it was half past five.
It's only been a long time, why has it been so long.
I sighed and kept walking.
"Fourth brother, you wait for me for a while, alas." This mountain road is really difficult to walk, much more difficult than the mountain road in our village.
I still grabbed the tree trunk on the side of the road with my hand, but it was slippery when it rained, and I almost fell down.
The road is still going up, and when you look down from the side, you can see the stream below.
Wu Zhen should be right behind me.
When I crossed the hill, I saw that the fourth brother and the others were already on the small hill below.
You can see a village over there, and white smoke is coming out of the bungalows.
When I went down, I realized that there was also a ditch here, but the water was very thin and shallow, and I could cross it with one foot.
Da Da Da ......
Da Da Da ......
I was almost out of the woods, and across the stream I was to the open fields on the other side.
At this moment, there were footsteps behind me.
I jerked my head back, and there was an empty dirt road behind me.
Turning my head and I continued walking, and as soon as I took a step, the footsteps sounded.
I took another step, and the footsteps still followed.
Just as I was about to turn around, I suddenly remembered the three fires that the monk told me.
Without saying a word, I raised my feet and walked forward, no, I ran.
But the footsteps behind me were getting louder and louder, as if many people were running towards me with their steps, faster than me.
I'm really a million grass and mud horses whistling past in my heart, this is a ghost!
Steady myself, I stopped by the stream, and the voice stopped behind me.
"your grandma's neuropathy!" I yelled, picked up a large rock and threw it into the woods behind me.
Without looking back, I stepped across the creek to the other side.
Behind him came the sound of a large rock falling into the water.
Puff ......
I just felt a chill in my vest and quickened my pace to walk forward.
The footsteps were no longer heard......
