The fat man and I didn't agree immediately, Qin Qianqiu's three younger brothers definitely won't survive, it seems that they have taken a fancy to me and the fat man's ability, but I always don't want to work for others in my heart, and the feeling of being under the fence makes me uncomfortable.

After hiding in the cave for four days, the big black snake was eaten clean, and only the head was kept by me, and it was also a soil beast, and its fangs, especially the horns on its head, might be able to sell for some money.

The injury is still not well, but it is still a little better than before, Qin Qianqiu's body has improved except for the fracture that has not recovered. We have just left the cave, and now we can't go back to the previous village, Lingqian must have gathered people, and from the time, I am afraid that her people have arrived in the past few days.

In addition, I was worried about the little novice, so I chose to go to the village at the end of the mountain road to hide and see the situation.

Walking down the mountain road, about two or three miles, you will see a small village surrounded by forests, and from the heights, there are only about a dozen families, which are not very prosperous.

When we entered the village, we saw a few people dressed as hunters at the entrance of the village, and it was a little strange to see us. This kind of village generally has less contact with the outside world, and there are no tourism projects in the vicinity, so few outsiders take the initiative to enter the village.

"Fellow, I'm sorry to ask, have you seen a little monk?"

The fat man stepped forward to ask, and several hunters first shook their heads, and then looked at us with vigilant eyes, and the xenophobic mood looked serious.

"I don't know, what's the matter?"

The fat man shook his head and said.

"Let's look separately first, fat man, you go and look for cadres such as the village chief, Brother Qin and I are looking for the little monk separately, and after finding the little monk, I will find a way to settle down." Hide for half a month and then talk about ......"

I gave a few simple orders, and Qin Qianqiu and the fat man had no objections, so they went their separate ways.

The village is really not big, only about 100 meters before and after, it looks like it is basically hunters, with roe deer skins hanging at the door of the house, and a few hunting dogs. I wandered around the village, but I didn't find any trace of the novice for a while. Strangely, someone behind him suddenly shouted, "Who are you?" I've been looking at you for a long time, what are you wandering around in our village? ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I looked back to see a dark-skinned, rather stocky-looking young man looking at me warily.

The young man in front of me was carrying a bamboo basket on his back, looking at me, and he felt a little like he had caught a thief.

"I'm sorry, fellow, I'm looking for someone, have you seen a little monk? It's just seven or eight years old, about that tall. ”

I gestured, but the young man shouted: "There are no monks in our village, you hurry up, if you have a bad intention, I will not be polite to you!" ”

Thinking that he couldn't bother with him, he smiled and turned his head away. When I returned to the entrance of the village, I saw the fat man and a few old men coming here. In terms of interpersonal communication, fat people really have some skills, acquaintances, old and young, but as long as there is no enmity with us, you can be turned into friends by fat people in less than a few words.

When a few people walked up to me, the old man held my hand and said excitedly: "You are Comrade Xiaoshan, I heard that you are here to survey and want to build a lumber yard here, okay, we will definitely support it!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the fat man, who squeezed his eyes at me, and bragged about us, saying that we were investors who came to investigate the field.

"Well, yes......," I could only make up the fat man's lies, "there is a lot of forest in this area, and I think it would be nice to build a lumber yard around here." By the way, I think there seems to be a temple on the mountain, is there a monk in that temple? ”

"Monk? Yes, there is a little monk in our village. ”

When the village chief said this, I immediately showed joy and hurriedly asked, "What about the little monk?" ”

"I saw it yesterday, and I can't talk about it. Said that there was a monster in that temple on the mountain, let's save it. Let's not go, little comrade, let me tell you, the temple on the mountain is not spiritual, and it will not bless our side of the water and soil to make a fortune. The old monk didn't welcome us to go, so it was better to demolish the temple and develop a tourism here, so as to make money. ”

When people start chasing money, they will slowly abandon some things, and the so-called equivalent exchange is probably the situation in front of me.

"I want to meet that little monk."

As soon as I said this, several old men looked at me with some suspicion, and the fat man next to me hurriedly played a round: "We hope that little monk can join us, after all, all those who do business are seeking wealth, and it is not good to anger the Bodhisattva, right." ”

"Yes, yes, let's go find ......"

Ten minutes later, the little monk covered in mud and looking a little emaciated and frightened was brought to me. I didn't even recognize him, like a street boy I had seen when I was a child, with sunken cheeks, tattered monk's robes, red eyes, and a stunted child.

"Little master, it's me."

I clapped my hands and said.

Little Novice looked up at me, stunned for a few seconds, then burst into tears, stumbled to me and hugged me.

"Don't cry, don't cry......"

I whispered some reassurance.

"Donor, master, you're ...... quickly"

Before he finished speaking, I covered his mouth, and the old man next to him looked more and more suspicious of us, and the fat man smiled and said, "We just arrived, do you have a house, let's settle down first." It will take a few weeks to investigate, and then we will draw some pictures and bring them back to our company in Shanghai for research. ”

The culture of the people in the mountains is not high, but the fat man's bragging skills are first-class, and a few old men who flickered in a few words nodded frequently.

The village arranged a bungalow for us, which is not a big place but fortunately we have a place to stay. At night, in the house, the little monk cried while eating, and said, "Donor, is my master hopeless?" Let's go back and save him. ”

I sat down at the table and sighed, "I don't know what your name is. ”

"My name is Hui Zhi, and the master said that I have Hui roots, and he also said that in the future I will be able to comprehend the profound Dharma, master, master, woo woo ......"

After all, he is still a child, and it can be imagined that he has not had a good time in this xenophobic village these days, and he started crying again as he spoke.

"Did your master tell you about that monster before? Don't you know what your little temple is about? ”

When the little monk stopped crying, the fat man asked next to him.

Hui Zhi wiped his tears and said for a moment, "My master didn't tell me anything. I don't know why there are so many snakes. ”

"Don't you know anything? Didn't those senior brothers tell you anything before? ”

I asked.

"Senior brother......" Huizhi continued after thinking about it after holding a corner of the dough, "I remember the last senior brother who left said to me the day before he left, let me go quickly when I grow up." Say there's a Jedi at the back of our temple, and there's a monster in it. I thought my brother was scaring me, and my master never told me this. ”

It seems that the monks who left the temple before should have known some secrets in the temple, so they chose to return to the world, which is actually to escape. The little monk didn't know, and the old monk didn't explain it, so he didn't know anything.

As he was talking, the door opened, Qin Qianqiu walked in from outside, and after sitting down, he took out a pack of cigarettes in his hand, and the eyes of me and the fat man were straight.

"Brother Qin, where did you get it?"

The fat man asked with a smile.

"The old village chief outside gave it, probably to curry favor with us." He said as he smoked.

"Alright, let's get down to business. I've just walked around and sent a message to my friends outside in a special way. There is no telephone in this village, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to wait for a reply. Let's just nest here first......"

This nest is three days, the fat man is to deal with the village chief every day, in the eyes of this group of villagers, we are rich masters, every day to eat and drink and entertain. I recovered quickly and was basically fine after three days. Qin Qianqiu's hand also recovered about sixty percent, and at noon, the three of them got together, and Qin Qianqiu took out a note from his pocket and handed it to me.

"What?"

I muttered and took it, opened the note and looked at it, and my face changed dramatically.

The note read: Lingqian's helper has arrived, the master of Sanshan Mountain is here, be careful in everything.
