Walking in the village, most of the time we can only see the elderly, occasionally we can see women and children, at first Li Huaishan and I would take cigarettes as soon as we saw the old people sitting on the side of the road basking in the sun, some people left as soon as they saw us, only a very few people took the cigarettes we handed over, but could not communicate with us.

There is no other reason than that the local dialect is difficult to understand.

And even those old people who are willing to speak in front of us speak very briefly, and between words, they will look at us with very wary eyes.

After turning around, I realized that I couldn't get any useful information at all, and my heart suddenly became anxious.

Gai Dong only said that before dealing with a matter, he should try to find local insiders as much as possible and ask what happened, but he did not say what to do when there is a language barrier.

At this time, Li Huaishan and I had no idea, so we could only wander around the village road, looking forward to a turnaround.

As we dragged our suitcases along the village road, occasionally a child would stick his head out of the wall and peek timidly at us. But when we try to communicate with these children, the adults in the family will rush to chase the children away.

It's as if those children will meet us if they talk to us.

It seemed impossible to get a word from the local population, and after walking around the village a few times, I suddenly remembered the minivan with a Shaanxi license plate.

The locals didn't welcome me and Li Huaishan, so we had to try our luck from outsiders.

Hopefully, the owner of that car is coming from outside.

Under the leadership of Li Huaishan, we quickly found the car, but the owner was not there, and I stood on the road and shouted at the surrounding houses, asking who the car was, but I did not get any response.

No way, just wait.

Luckily, the suitcases I bought were hard-shell, and now they can be used as stools for the two of us to rest.

Li Huaishan sat on the suitcase, holding a mineral water bottle to his mouth and looking around.

I don't know what he's looking at, in my eyes, there is an impenetrable earth yellow all around, nothing to see, but when Li Huaishan looked around, he had a very serious expression on his face.

After waiting for about half an hour, the owner still didn't come back, and there was nothing wrong left and right, so I looked around the truck carefully.

For others, this minivan may seem like nothing special, but for me, this model carries a lot of memories for me.

I think when I followed Boss Lu out to deliver goods, I drove this kind of car, and the car in front of me was obviously well maintained, I looked into the window and found that the seats in the car should have been newly refurbished.

Then I turned to the back of the truck and noticed that there were some hairs of different colors scattered in the body.

If I'm not mistaken, it's the hair on the cow.

At this moment, a slightly hoarse voice came from not far away: "Do you two want a ride?" ”

As soon as I heard this, I suddenly felt a little excited in my heart, it was Mandarin.

Finally there is someone to communicate with.

Except for the man who took us into the village before, most of the clothes in the village were very simple, and the color of the clothes was either gray or black.

This man must be around forty years old, slightly fat, with slightly yellowish forehead of his hair, and a very kind face. Probably to keep out the cold, he wore a thick white down jacket, but under his feet was a pair of round scalp shoes with a height-increasing effect, even though the surface of the shoes was covered with a layer of soil, but the toe toe still had a faint soft luster. In addition, he carries a string of expensive agate beads on his left wrist.

In general, the feeling that this person in front of me gives me can be described in one sentence: a rich man with a gentle temper.

I remember when I first met Boss Lu, Boss Lu also gave me the same feeling.

The biggest difference between the person in front of me and the locals is that the villagers are always full of vigilance when they see me and Li Huaishan, but he has a very warm smile on his face.

They greeted me with a smile, and I returned a smile, and then asked him from afar, "Is this car yours?" ”

He walked up to me, smiled and waved his hand at Li Huaishan, who was sitting in the distance, and then said, "Yes, it's my car." Hey, you're not from the village, why haven't I seen you before? ”

Since I can't lie, every time like this, Li Huaishan will consciously come over to answer.

This time was no exception, Li Huaishan took out a cigarette from the cigarette case while walking towards me, and said: "We are from outside, I heard that Xihaigu is going to be developed in the past two years, so come here to do a field trip." ”

It's amazing, I can't make up such a lie even with all my life's wisdom.

While speaking, Li Huaishan handed the cigarette in his hand to the other party.

The other party was not polite, took the cigarette in Li Huaishan's hand, and said: "Coincidentally, I am also here to do business, hehe, but I am a small business, and I can't guarantee income in drought and flood." What kind of business do you do? ”

Li Huaishan's answer is still very absolute: "We make red wine, and I heard that this place is very suitable for growing grapes, so we came here to have a look." What kind of business do you do? ”

At that time, I thought that his words were completely nonsense, and it was not until much later that I unexpectedly learned that some areas of Xihaigu were really suitable for growing grapes, and I didn't know if Li Huaishan was right, or if he really had the relevant information a long time ago.

The other party did not directly answer Li Huaishan's question, but stretched out his hand, shook hands with me and Li Huaishan respectively, and briefly introduced himself.

His surname is Huang, his real name is Huang Xianzhong, and he is in the cattle corpse business.

Cattle carcass business? It's the first time I've heard of such a deal in the world.

I was also out of curiosity, so I casually asked: "Is the cattle carcass business a trade in dead cattle?" ”

Boss Huang smiled and said: "I can't say that I buy and sell dead cattle, I should say, I buy dead cattle, and then sell the things on the cow, I only buy old and dead cattle, not those who die, and I don't sell beef, sometimes I only sell cowhides and bones, but these two things are not worth a few dollars." ”

Li Huaishan was also curious: "If you still sell it if it's worthless, how can anyone in this world make a loss-making deal." ”

Boss Huang smiled even more: "Don't say it, there are really times when you lose money." However, cowhide and cow bones are to make a fraction, and the really valuable thing is Niu Bao. Have you ever heard of gambling stones, I am a gambling bull. Do you know why you only buy old and dead cows, it is because old cows are prone to cow treasures in their stomachs, and some cow treasures are particularly large. Hehe, Niu Bao is like this, the older the year, the bigger the size, the more valuable it is. But not every cow has this thing on them, and if you run into a clean belly, then I will lose. ”

I've heard of gambling on rocks before, but it's the first time I've heard of gambling on bulls.

Li Huaishan asked Boss Huang: "Are you making a lot of money in this business?" ”

Boss Huang said: "If you are lucky, you will be big, if you are unlucky, hehe, then you will not make money." In today's market, good quality Niu Bao can be sold for 30,000 yuan a gram, last year I had a guy get a 150 grams of big Niu Bao, the quality is excellent, and it was sent out at once. But now these days, there are fewer ploughing cattle, and it is difficult for meat cattle and dairy cows to produce cattle treasures, otherwise I would not be able to run to such a poor and remote place, and now, that is, I can still find old cows. ”

Li Huaishan had a wicked smile on his face: "So, Boss Huang is a rich man." ”

Boss Huang waved his hand modestly: "I can't do it, I can't compare with you, you all open up your own land and plant grapes." ”

Li Huaishan: "Aren't you afraid that we will rob you?" ”

Hearing Li Huaishan say this, Boss Huang was immediately happy: "Don't make trouble, you are not robbers." I saw at a glance just now that you are not people who are short of money, although you don't wear gold and silver, but you wear that thread around your neck, which is a high-quality gold thread, at least worth this amount. ”

As he spoke, Boss Huang stretched out five fingers with a very confident smile on his face.

At the beginning, the third master did give Li Huaishan a gold thread, and asked him to tie the glazed egg with this thread, and wear the glazed egg around his neck like a pendant.

Although I don't know how much the gold thread is worth, since it is something given by the third master, of course it is worth a lot of money.

After that, Boss Huang turned to me again and said to me with a smile: "This ancient coin on your wrist is not ordinary." ”

He said it was gossip money in my hands.

It seems that this Boss Huang is indeed a person with vision. I wondered why he didn't defend us at all, and as soon as he came up, he told us about his business, because he had guessed that we would not be interested in his little deal, let alone endanger his personal safety for money.

And this encounter with Boss Huang also made me understand one thing, walking outside, picking up people and things, eyesight is very important.

Boss Huang reported to his home early in the morning, and then turned around and asked me and Li Huaishan: "What are the two noble surnames?" ”

When he asked this, I was amazed by his old spicy eyesight, and without thinking too much, I said, "My name is Yu Ruofei, he, Li Huaishan." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I regretted it, Boss Huang was willing to report himself in front of us, because he knew that we were no threat to him, but we didn't know whether what he said just now was true or false.

If he is not from Zhoushan, or if he comes from the burial sect in Wu Lin's mouth, I will definitely get into trouble as soon as I report to my family.

Boss Huang should have no problem, but because I said the wrong thing myself, I actually became wary of him in my heart.

Of course, Boss Huang didn't know what I was thinking, but after getting my response, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to us with a smile: "Alas, I'm glad I met you, otherwise I wouldn't even have anyone to talk to in this village." How long are you going to stay here? ”

The last sentence was asked at Li Huaishan.

Without waiting for Li Huaishan to reply, I asked Boss Huang: "Is there an old cow in the village who has just passed away?" ”

This is basically a nonsense, if there were no old cattle in the village, Boss Huang would not have traveled thousands of miles to such a poor and remote place.

The reason why I interrupted their conversation was just that I didn't want Li Huaishan to reveal more information, after all, I had already revealed enough.

Boss Huang didn't think about it and said, "Old Han Chen's cattle seem to be dying." ”

When I heard this, my heart suddenly chuckled.

Just a few hours ago, Hu Nanqian said the same thing, not a word bad.
