At noon, a gas station.

Why is it called a gas station?

Because I didn't know where the gas station was, I knew I was in a deserted automatic gas station, and there wasn't even a clerk here. I always thought that gas stations that sell oil automatically did not exist, but I didn't think there were!

I sat in the dusty car, staring around blankly, while the talisman was still spinning in that direction, shivering from time to time. Even though this was a gas station, I still exhaled a puff of smoke and muttered, "Black Ball Ball, you said this talisman wouldn't be a problem, right?" If it continues like this, who knows where it will go. ”

Heiqiuqiu said weakly: "It shouldn't be wrong, it's just that this place is a little far away from Lao Tzu." Saying...... Where is this? ”

I checked the map and said, "It seems to be in Jiangxi, we have always been in a high-speed situation, continue to drive in this direction, it is estimated that we will reach Hubei......"

"I'm hungry......," murmured Blackball, "I should have bought something to drink when I was passing through the city just now, and if I drove like this, who knows where it will go...... No, no, I'm going to starve, is there anything to eat? ”

I muttered, "If anything, it's only gasoline." I'm so hungry that I can swallow even a grown man standing in front of me at this time...... Go ahead and eat when you get to a place where there are people, don't you think? ”

Heiqiuqiu nodded and said, "Then let's go, I'm starving, just eat Hubei specialties......"

We're just going to keep it going, and then we're ......

Blackball: "Keep going...... Tomorrow morning, you will be able to eat Shaanxi's mutton steamed buns...... I've been eating duck head and hot pot for the past two days, and I almost vomited...... Lao Tzu will never come to Hubei in his life. ”

Black Qiuqiu: "Let's rest first, get a good night's sleep, and when the evening comes, you can eat authentic Lanzhou ramen...... I've been eating mutton steamed buns for the past two days, and I'm about to vomit...... I don't eat mutton steamed buns anymore in my life...... Lao Tzu will never come to Shaanxi in his life......"

Black Qiuqiu: "Big brother, I'm about to eat authentic Ningxia mutton shabu...... If you insist on it, Lao Tzu will not come to Gansu in this life......"

Black Ball Ball: "Isn't it in Urumqi, the soul is light!" Lao Tzu is about to eat raisins and cantaloupe, the question is what to do after the raisins are eaten! Going abroad? ”

That's it, for seven days, we spent the rest of the time rushing except for eating and sleeping. Through Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hubei, Shaanxi, Gansu...... Now on the border of Ningxia......

Just when I thought I was going to say goodbye to the mutton shabu that I hadn't eaten enough, the situation suddenly changed.

That talisman has finally begun to spin!

"I ...... My God......"

I looked at the Dao talisman in my hand excitedly, is it easy...... Am I easy? I knew it was so far away, and I should have taken a plane directly at the beginning!

Finally, it's within a kilometer.

I looked around excitedly, and we were in a small village, the kind of real small village, different from the small village in Wenzhou.

How to say that...... It's the kind of countryside on TV, the earthen house, you can see garlic or peppers hanging at the door, it's very chic, and I took a few photos when I came.

"It seems that Deng Xianxiu is from this village......" Heiqiuqiu said, "I didn't expect to live so far away, it's really easy for Lao Tzu to find." Boy, go ask and see if you can get the ins and outs. ”

I said with some concern, "What if I accidentally ask someone about the adulterous old man?" ”

"Are you brain-dead? Can the hand of the lewd old man stretch out so long? Tell me how many provinces are spaced in between! ”

I thought about it, Rao was an obscene old man, and his sphere of influence couldn't be so big, so he got out of the car. There are not many people in the village, only a few women sit on chairs at the door and bask in the sun and do household chores. I walked up to a woman and politely asked, "Hello, can you speak Mandarin?" ”

The woman gave me a wary look and said yes. I can understand her vigilance, when I see a stranger coming to the village, and suddenly talk to myself, I will definitely be vigilant, so I said politely: "Hello Auntie, I am a friend of Deng Xianxiu, looking for him here, do you know where his home is?" ”

As soon as she heard this name, the woman immediately became much more enthusiastic: "Xianxiu's friend, if you go this way to the end, there will be a corner, go to the right, you can see his house, and there is a couplet hanging at the door, which is his house." ”

I hummed and hurriedly walked towards the woman's side. After walking for a while, there was a bend, and when I turned right, I saw an ordinary earthen house sitting there, with a couplet at the door, and a bunch of chili peppers hanging there. But the door is closed, and I don't know if anyone is there.

I went to knock on the door, but no one came out, so I thought that the people inside should be going to work, but it didn't matter, as long as it was noon, Deng Xianxiu's parents would definitely come back.

Thinking of this, I moved directly to a wooden bench at the door of the house and sat down, waiting quietly. It is said that this village is so quiet that no one can see it. I remember that the mountain village is very lively, for example, my mountain village, although it is remote, but there are a lot of people walking around, and everyone likes to sit at the door and chat and play cards.

I'm just waiting here quietly, and it should be rare for the black ball to stay next to me and rest without having to take the car.

But it was noon, and no one had returned. I wondered, why didn't I come back at this point in time, could it be eating out? It's impossible, it's still quite cold this day, and the lunch box will definitely be cold if you take it out. And there is generally nothing to do in the afternoon, many people in the village should have eaten lunch and taken a nap, and then either went fishing or played cards.

Could it be ...... Is this village really different from ours?

Thinking of this, I almost slapped myself in the face. After all, separated by several provinces, this life and customs are definitely different. I waited for a while, and finally I couldn't wait comfortably, so I walked back, walked to the door of the woman who asked for directions before, and asked her: "Hello Auntie, Deng Xianxiu's family is not here, do you know where they went?" ”

"I must be in the ancestral ......hall," said the woman, "Recently, the clan has done some business, saying that they will help the head of the big house when they are going to choose the village chief, and then everyone will go to the ancestral hall to talk, and they will set up a banquet there to eat, you go and see." ”

I immediately understood, no wonder I said that there were almost no people in this village, and they were all in the ancestral hall.

I asked where the ancestral hall was, and I hurriedly walked over there. It's been a waste of time, but if you look into it now, you should be able to do so.

I actually want to know two points: what Deng Xianxiu likes the most, what Deng Xianxiu is most afraid of, once you know this kind of thing, it will be much easier to deal with ghosts, as the saying goes, only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles, and Taoist priests hunt ghosts the same.

After walking for a while, I saw an ancestral hall in the distance, it was very lively over there, the door of the ancestral hall was wide open, and there were many tables in it, and many people were sitting there chatting. I was overjoyed, and finally found it, so I hurriedly walked to a table next to the person and asked politely: "Hello, I want to find Deng Xianxiu's parents, which table are they at?" ”

After that, I waited for these people to respond to me.

But the next second, I was stunned.

As if they hadn't heard me, they continued to talk enthusiastically. What surprised me even more was that these people didn't even look at me.

What's going on?

Chatting is addictive, so when I don't exist?

I simply ignored the people at this table, because I thought they were very rude, so I said to the people at the other table: "Hello, I want to find Deng Xianxiu's parents, which table are they at?" ”

However......

The people at this table were also chatting and talking, but they didn't take me seriously, and they didn't look at me at all.

Weird.

In general, in this case, even if you don't pay attention to it, at least you will look at the stranger next to you, right?

How do I feel...... It's like you're cut off from the world?
