"My god, no one lives in these houses, this is a fucking ghost village."

I understand what the old prostitute means by the ghost village, he describes this village like a ghost town in the city where no one lives, so it is called this ghost village. But I don't think it's strange, after all, there are only six families here, and it's normal for no one to live there. Now the towns are growing very fast, and many people have already moved out of the mountains, who would want to live in such ravines forever.

It was getting darker and darker, and my wife and I had nowhere else to go, so we could only go back to Cao Shengli's house and wait. As soon as he walked not too far from his door, only seventy or eighty meters away, he saw a figure in front of his house, as if he was opening the door.

The old prostitute and I didn't think much about swaggering over, and the old prostitute asked the man as she walked, "Is it Cao Shengli?"

After the old prostitute asked this, the other party did not answer immediately, but turned to look at us. In fact, when it was dark, I couldn't see the facial features at all, and I could only see the black shadow of a person. But I didn't expect that man to make a move that puzzled us.

The black shadow who opened the door ran without waiting for us to get closer, which made me and the old prostitute stunned, and we didn't slow down for a second or two, and I couldn't understand why the other party was running?

By the time we came to our senses, he had already run a few dozen meters away. We went to the wooden door and took a look at the lock with our mobile phones, and we decided that this person was Cao Shengli, because he opened the door with a key, and the key was still inserted in the lock.

"Chase"

After the old prostitute shouted, she ran out in an instant, and I hurriedly followed when I saw this.

After all, Cao Shengli is a mountain village man, and he knows the environment here well, and my wife and I have been chasing him into the forests of the mountains, but we haven't caught up with him. But fortunately, he didn't throw us too far, but after entering the forest, our vision was a little limited, after all, there were too many dark shadows in the trees, and we couldn't see the direction of his running clearly.

In fact, Cao Shengli made a mistake, if he went into the forest and found a tree to hide, then I and the old prostitute might not be able to find him, but he didn't do it, but kept running, which made us quickly lock the position where he was running.

The old prostitute shouted, "Don't run, we're here to buy something for you, not to trouble you."

But Cao Shengli didn't listen at all, and kept running towards the depths of the mountains and forests without stopping. We have been chasing and dare not stop, we don't know how many mountain beams, we can chase for more than 40 minutes, Cao Shengli did not slow down or was in the initial state of running. I almost doubt that he is human, and it is rare for him to have this speed and physical strength in his fifties.

I obviously couldn't run, and the old prostitute began to slow down, and her voice became hoarse when she ran, and the words I shouted smelled of a seventy-year-old.

After chasing for more than ten minutes, the old prostitute and I had no physical strength, and the two of us sat by the tree, thirsty anymore. But now we can only stand up with thirst, and we didn't bring water when we came, so we didn't expect this to be the case. Obviously, I was preparing to ask Cao Shengli for help, but as soon as I saw others, it became a mountain and forest marathon, and people didn't catch up and didn't say anything, and the two of us were tired like dogs, sitting and panting one by one.

My wife and I took a breath for two or three minutes before we spoke to each other.

"Xiao Qi, you are young, look at which way he ran, you should be able to catch up." The old prostitute said while panting.

I looked around, not to mention that there was no one, even at this moment, I couldn't chase it.

"He's already gone, don't chase it, I can't run anymore." I said.

"My god, the two of us are embarrassed today, let a dozen old men in their fifties run away, and I can laugh out my teeth when I pass it out."

"Don't say that, he can't tell how many times he has come in to the mountains here, and we are not familiar with this place, so it's strange to catch up with him in this environment." I explained, "Maybe this old boy didn't go far, so he squatted behind some tree and eavesdropped on the two of us."

"Yes." The old prostitute looked around and shouted: "Cao Shengli, we are here to send you money, I bought the turquoise you sold a few days ago, I just want to buy some information from you, not to trouble you."

I glanced at the old prostitute, and I couldn't laugh or cry. The heart said, how did you tell the matter of buying turquoise, doesn't it obviously tell people that it was the auction house that told us the address, this is not the same as betraying Boss Xia.

"I just told you that he might be hiding around, how can you really believe it."

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of grass moving not far away, and the old prostitute immediately asked in the direction of the voice: "Is it Cao Shengli?"

"What do you guys do?" There was a sentence with a strong local accent over there, and if he hadn't said it slowly, we would have been able to understand it. With the tone of an ethnic minority, this Mandarin makes him speak more unpleasantly than foreigners.

"I'm the one who bought your thing, and I'm here to ask you about it." After the old prostitute finished speaking, the other party did not respond.

I immediately shouted: "It's not for nothing, we give money."

"What to sell, I haven't sold anything, you have found the wrong person, I am an ordinary farmer." The man shouted again.

As soon as I heard this, I secretly sneered in my heart. thought to myself, this person must have never seen anything in the world, at best, he has watched too many movies or TV series, and he doesn't think twice about what he says, and there is a smell of lines.

"If you don't sell something, what do you run? We want to come here to do business with you, if you don't want to make this money, just say it, then we can also find someone else, this thing is not just you, there are many sold in the market. "I deliberately pretended not to care about him, and mentioned the money to him again. I think he would have needed money, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to Guiyang to sell turquoise.

"Tell me first, what do you do?" The man asked.

While I was talking to the man, the old prostitute kept watching in the direction of the voice, but never saw where the speaker was.

Hearing him ask us this, I can be 100% sure that he is Cao Shengli. As for what he always asks us for, I think he may be afraid that I and the old prostitute are policemen, and I don't know if he is a person with a criminal record. My wife and I were a little hesitant, and we didn't know what to do for a while, after all, we didn't want this kind of person to know that we were fighting on the ground.

Cao Shengli saw that we didn't answer immediately, so he shouted: "You don't need to say it, I don't want to do anything with you, you can find someone else." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of grass moving, as if he was leaving.

"Damn, who the fuck do you think you are, our business is to do what you want, and don't do it if you don't want to? Damn, I made Lao Tzu anxious, and set fire to all six houses in your village. After the old prostitute finished scolding, she glanced at me, and then shouted, "Go, go and set those houses on fire now."

As soon as the old prostitute finished shouting, the sound of the grass was gone, and he seemed to stop.

It took a few seconds for him to shout at us, "You're not a policeman, are you?"

"If the police had broken your leg with a gun, they would have made you run so far." The old prostitute replied.

Cao Shengli didn't speak again, and we didn't speak either. We didn't speak because we wanted to hear his voice and see if he still wanted to go. As for why he didn't speak, it was probably judging whether we were police or not.

This stalemate lasted a bit long, and it took more than ten seconds for Cao Shengli to come out from a distance, but he still had some scruples and didn't go towards us, but just took a look at us from a distance. Then he said: "If the two of you have offended a lot of responsibilities, you adults don't remember villains, since you are here to talk about business, then please tell you what kind of business it is."

As soon as I heard this, there was a door, and it seemed that it was still easy to use the words of an old prostitute, and it would only work if I could treat this kind of person by scaring him harshly.

"This business is simple, our boss just wants to know where the turquoise you sell comes from, and how much do you know about this turquoise?" The old prostitute said.

"What kind of business is this?" Cao Shengli stood in the distance and was puzzled.

"Of course, it's business, and it's called reselling information resources. Our boss is a rich man, as long as the information you give is true, you will get no less money than you sell turquoise. ”

After the old prostitute finished speaking, he glanced at me again, I knew that he was fooling the other party, but this was too big, if the other party was more real, he really wanted to shoot so much turquoise, and I would give it or not in the end. If this damn information is really valuable, I will admit it if I give so much money, but if it is worthless, then I must not cry to death.

After Cao Shengli listened to the old prostitute's words, he didn't say anything for a few seconds, but he didn't leave, and he was still standing there. I wondered to myself, is it because the old prostitute said that there is too much money, which makes him feel unreal and suspicious, will it scare him away again? My apprehension was immediately shattered, and he began to come to us, and it seemed that he was indeed an old money lover.

When he came over, he didn't get too close to us, and always kept a distance of five meters. At this distance, I can't see his appearance clearly, I can only see that he is 1.7 meters tall, a little thin.

"What do you want to know? As long as you give money, I can tell you. Cao Shengli said.

"Say whatever you know, as long as it's true, we won't miss you money." The old prostitute glanced around, and then said, "Find a place with water first, Lao Tzu will die of thirst."

"There is no water in the mountains this season, so if you want to drink water, you can come home with me."

When the old prostitute heard what Cao Shengli said, her nose almost lost her breath, and she said: "What do you say you are running, what are you doing running so far, now you have to fucking go back."

"Actually, it's not far, but you haven't found it." Cao Shengli pointed to the bottom of the mountain with his hand, and the old prostitute and I looked in the direction of his finger, and by a slight moonlight, we saw several houses under the mountain.

It turned out that we were not far away from this village at all, but we were just running around this village, it seems that it is really not good to be unfamiliar with the terrain, Cao Shengli is taking advantage of this, and has been running circles in the forests of several mountains, while my wife and I have not noticed it at all.

Cao Shengli is still very cautious, although he is willing to make this deal with us, he still does not let down his guard against me and the old prostitute. He told us to go ahead, he followed us, and he didn't get a little closer to us until we entered his house.

After entering the house, Cao Shengli turned on the electric light, and we really saw each other's faces clearly. His appearance looks very vicissitudes, a bit like a sixty-year-old, the hair on his temples has turned white, and his beard has not been shaved for a long time, in short, he looks very old.

When Cao Shengli saw my appearance, he immediately showed a face full of surprise, and he was surprised for several seconds, if it wasn't for the old prostitute touching him, he wouldn't be able to ease up.

He looked at me and asked, "When did you come out?"
