Chapter 10: Kidnapper Alley

When I arrived at the Pungho bus station, it was just dawn, and the city was foggy, and I saw the sky bright, but the sun was nowhere to be seen.

As soon as my feet hit the ground, I saw a large stream of white steam floating at the entrance of the station, and I could smell a fragrant smell during the process.

Master slowly squatted in front of me: "Cold, right? ”

I stared at Master's sheepskin jacket and nodded vigorously.

But the master didn't open his jacket, but gently opened my left hand: "It just so happens that the fog is heavy today, so it's better to spread it, it's weird to hold it like this." ”

All the way, I held the "egg" given by the master in my hand, but I never looked carefully at what it was.

Before I could ask, the master shook the stone and said, "This piece of mutton fat jade is very precious, if you really like it, then leave it to you." ”

I looked at the white crystal stone and shook my head, "I don't like it." ”

The master was suddenly shocked: "Don't like it? Why not? ”

I thought about it for a moment before responding, "Cool." ”

"You don't like it just because it's cold?"

"Hmm."

The master became helpless again: "I originally wanted to leave you something valuable, why, you have no fate with this piece of jade?" Are you sure you don't? ”

I felt as if Master wanted to give me that piece of jade, but I really didn't want it: "I don't want it." ”

"I spent a lot of effort to bring this thing out of the tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, even if it is not priceless, it is also a treasure jade that is difficult to find in the world...... Alas, forget it, since there is no fate, it is useless to keep it. Master muttered as he slipped the mutton fat jade into his pocket.

After that, the master did not delve into the matter of mutton fat jade, he led me out of the station, ordered two gourd heads and four tea eggs in front of a stall at the entrance of the station, and asked me to pad my stomach first, and then take me to eat something else at noon.

That meal made a deep impression on me, I used to think that the best thing in the world is the dumplings made by the uncle, until then I found out that there is a kind of thing called gourd head in this world, which is much more delicious than the dumplings of the uncle, and those tea eggs that look black and dirty are also better than the eggs boiled at home during the New Year's holidays.

At first, I ate those two bites quite Sven, but then I simply shook off my cheeks and stuffed them into my mouth, because I ate too quickly, I choked all of a sudden, and I almost didn't go away, my master was scared half to death, and he patted me on the back again, and pressed my stomach, and finally let me vomit out the things in my throat and eyes.

Since then, Master has made a rule for me that when eating, I must chew slowly and eat at least two bites of what I can swallow in one bite.

I only ate half of this breakfast, and then my master was probably afraid that I would choke to death, so he didn't dare to let me eat it again, and hurriedly took me home.

In my impression, the master had a large courtyard house in Feng Ho, as for whether the courtyard was like a courtyard house, in fact, I don't remember clearly, I only remember that the courtyard was very large, and there were many houses in it, but only the master lived alone.

Master said that he went back to Feng Ho this time to wait for someone, and after half a month, he would take me to a place called "Kidnapping Alley" to pawn most of the family property, leaving only the things related to the inheritance of the master.

At that time, I had no idea what the words "pawn the family property" meant, and I didn't care why Master pawned the family property.

During that half-month, my main task was to hang out in Feng Ho City with Master, at first we both went out basically every day, during the day Master always locked him in the house, and at night or when it was cloudy, he took me around the city.

Every time I go out, Master likes to take me to places with a lot of people, and the more crowded places are, the more he likes to go.

This went on for several days, and one morning, Master said that I had absorbed enough yang energy to see the sun normally, so he took me out early every morning and wandered around the city for most of the day, and only led me home when night came.

For me at that time, every corner of Feng Ho City was full of novelty, and every time Master took me out, I was extremely looking forward to it.

When I go out with the master, I can not only see a lot of new things, but also eat a lot of delicacies, such as cold skin, gourd head, Zhenzi noodles, meat sandwich buns, biangbiang (that biang character really can't be typed, even if I type it, it may not be able to be displayed) noodles, there seem to be countless delicacies in Feng Ho City, and you can eat different things at every meal.

It's just that every time I eat, Master will stare at me with very nervous eyes, and he is so nervous that I am also very nervous.

However, what attracted me most about Feng Ho City was not the novelty or the ubiquitous food, but the flow of people on the streets.

When Master took me out on the street, what I liked to do was to stare at the people on the road, and everyone had a different smell on them, and in my eyes, these smells mixed together almost formed a colorful river, and as the river flowed slowly, the color on the surface of the river would change from time to time.

When I stared at the crowd for a long time, Master would remind me, "Don't sink too deep. ”

I didn't understand the meaning of these words, so I raised my head and looked at Master with puzzled eyes.

Master would always smile and say to me, "If you see through people's hearts, you won't be able to see through the red dust." ”

"Master, I don't understand."

"I'll understand it later."

Master always uses such words to perfunctory me.

One morning, half a month later, before dawn, Master woke me up early and took me to the long-distance station to catch the first train.

When the car drove out of Fengho City, the sun was groggily rising from the direction of Dongshan, and it was not until the sun was about to set in the west that we arrived at our destination.

It was a small county town, but there were a lot of pedestrians on the road, and it took some effort for Master to lead me through the crowd and finally into a small alley.

This alley is very long, standing at the mouth of the alley, you have to look very hard into the distance, in order to vaguely see the end of the alley, the two sides of the alley are full of all kinds of shops, because I often follow the master to wander around the streets and alleys of Feng Ho City, so I am no stranger to such shops, but the shops I have seen before, most of them exude a more pleasant atmosphere in front of and behind the door, but the shops here have a similar atmosphere to Tsukayama.

Master's fingers squeezed me tighter with a slight force: "Hold on, don't get lost." ”

"Master, what kind of place is this, how is it eerie?"

"This is the 'Kidnapper Alley' I mentioned to you earlier. It's normal for you to think it's gloomy, after all, in this realm, nine out of ten shops are doing those bad deals, so it's no wonder if it's not gloomy. As he spoke, Master walked very slowly, slowly, and led me deeper into the alley.
