Chapter 275: Xihaigu
Hu Nanqian probably didn't want to stay long, and finally said, "Chen Laohan's cattle seem to be dying." He hurried away.
I didn't understand what Hu Nanqian meant by the last sentence, it just so happened that the man in front of me was also surnamed Chen, and I thought that this might be related to him, so I wanted to inquire what was going on.
But before I could speak, the man slanted his inverted triangular eyes, whitened me and Li Huaishan, and muttered something I didn't understand.
Although the local accent was not particularly recognizable, I could vaguely distinguish the word "day" and the word "mother" from his words.
I don't know what the hell is going on with this guy, but he was full of hostility to us when we first met.
Seriously, in the past, my fist might have landed on his face, but now I forcibly resisted the urge to hit someone.
It's not that my temper is better than before, it's that I'm afraid that I won't be able to control my emotions and will kill him as soon as I make a move.
People scolded you, you punched the other party into the morgue, and then you were escorted to prison, waiting for the autumn queen to correct the law. An idiot would do such a thing.
I'm not a narrow-minded person, but my heart is not generous, and when Hu Nanqian's case is dealt with, there are some scenes, and I still plan to get it back.
Li Huaishan probably didn't understand what the other party said at all, he just frowned and stared at the man in front of him, and it seemed that he had no intention of beating people.
Seriously, when I looked at the man, the word "beating" had been lingering in my head, and now that I think about it, I was really small at that time, both in terms of heart and pattern.
After staying in the house for a year, I still regarded myself as the social youth of the furniture city, but I forgot that my biggest advantage compared with ordinary people is my identity.
I'm a bad guy.
After Hu Nanqian left, the man leaned against the car window and smoked a cigarette sullenly, one after another, and all the cigarette butts were thrown to the ground by him.
Twenty minutes later, he opened the car door and entered the cab, and Li Huaishan and I didn't talk nonsense and got into the car directly.
It can be seen that this man is by no means a person who pays attention to personal hygiene, he is covered with a little dust on the old jacket on his body, black oil stains can be seen near the cuffs, the hygiene condition in the car is similar to the jacket on his body, the seats look all black, thin layers of soil can be seen everywhere in the carriage, and in the corners of the carriage, there are layers of thick oil stains.
In such a dirty environment, you can still smell the smell of 84 disinfectant.
As soon as we got into the car, before we could sit down, the man set off, and he stepped on the accelerator very quickly, as if he was deliberately trying to shake me and Li Huaishan down.
Fortunately, although the two of us are not very experienced in the rivers and lakes, we are still passable, and we can withstand the violent shaking of the body with fast and solid steps.
The man glanced at us in the rearview mirror, and there was a bit of anger in his eyes.
Li Huaishan couldn't hold himself back, so he waved his fist on the spot, and I grabbed him and shook my head at him.
I'm worried that if the two of us beat up a man in the car, the case that Hu Nanqian gave us may not be able to continue.
Li Huaishan forcibly took a breath and sat down angrily.
The man seemed to know the address of the hotel early in the morning, and in the car, Li Huaishan and I didn't bother to talk to him, and he ignored us, but even so, he still drove the car to the door of the hotel.
Hu Nanqian really drove our car away early in the morning, and the man stopped the car with a sudden brake, and Li Huaishan and I immediately got out of the car and went upstairs to get our luggage.
Although the man has never had a good face, while the two of us were taking our luggage, he honestly waited downstairs and did not leave.
I said in my heart that this guy probably didn't want to come to Yinchuan, and the villagers forced him to come, so he put on a stinky face from just now, but due to some unavoidable reasons, he couldn't leave the two of us alone.
The car drove away from the entrance of the hotel and sped all the way south, heading straight for Xihaigu.
At first, we took a relatively flat road, but after the third hour on the road, the man first drove the car onto the country road, and then onto the winding mountain road.
As we go deeper and deeper, the scene outside the window gradually changes to the large ravines and ravines unique to the loess hills, and the dust flies up along the wheels, making the sky outside the window also turn into the color of the ravines.
Seeing such light and shadow, I suddenly felt a thirst.
The man did not seem to like the sight outside the window, and he became bored, and began to smoke cigarette after cigarette, presumably to prevent the dust from outside from getting into the car, and he did not roll down the window when he smoked, so that thick smoke soon gathered in the carriage.
Li Huaishan and I are both smokers, and Li Huaishan is still very addicted to smoking, but even so, the excessively strong smoke in the carriage still makes us cough twice from time to time.
I didn't want to pay attention to that man, but I couldn't help it, so I stretched my neck and said to the cab: "Dude, don't smoke yet, it's sand outside, there's smoke inside, and I can't breathe." ”
He looked up, glanced at me in the rearview mirror, then raised his voice and said something we didn't understand.
This time, I heard "day" and "mother" from his words again, and Li Huaishan seemed to hear it too.
Li Huaishan was annoyed on the spot: "Mom, what are you talking about!" Kill you X raised! ”
As he spoke, Li Huaishan stood up from the back seat of the car, raised his fist and greeted the man on the back of his head.
I reached out and pressed Li Huaishan's shoulder and pressed him to the seat, Li Huaishan's anger had nowhere to escape, so he glared at me: "What are you doing?" ”
I patted Li Huaishan on the shoulder and signaled him not to be too impulsive.
Li Huaishan looked at me very puzzled, as if asking me why I should be patient.
I didn't say anything, but still patted Li Huaishan on the shoulder.
To be honest, my temper is not better than Li Huaishan's, but I am more sober than him, I know what to do when and when, and I also know how to calculate the cost.
Now that you hit your employer in the car, the first case that Hu Nanqian gave us is likely to be nullified. If this case is invalidated, can we receive other cases in the future, and if Hu Nanqian no longer works for us from now on, how can we accumulate enough experience in this year.
That's the cost.
I endure because I know what my goal is.
But such words don't make sense with Li Huaishan, he is too temperamental, and there are some things he can't understand.
However, thanks to Li Huaishan's spurt, the man quickly pinched the last cigarette and never touched the lighter since.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the man finally drove the car into a small dirt village.
This is a small village located in a deep ravine, the village is built on a very steep slope of earth, as far as the eye can see, the houses in the village are all small mud houses, even the courtyard walls are rammed with loess.
Around this cluster of mud houses, there is still yellow soil, except that in this empty earth, a few bare trees can occasionally be seen.
From afar, those trees look like mold spots growing on cakes.
When I first entered the village, I didn't feel anything unusual, but as the car got deeper and deeper, I noticed that the sunlight in the village seemed to be a little dark, and even the shadows cast by the light behind the village houses looked dirty.
When passing by a relatively wide village road, I also saw a minivan with a Shaanxi license plate, and like the general environment in the village, the shell of this car was also covered with a thin layer of soil.
When the man drove into a small road, there were two old men sitting at the gate of the courtyard, basking in the sun and chatting with a smile.
But as soon as they saw the man's van, they immediately showed an expression as if they were facing a great enemy, quickly stood up, and hid in the courtyard in a hurry.
When the car passed by the gate of the courtyard, the two old men were still leaning in front of the door, staring at our car with very vigilant eyes.
These two people were not exceptional, and then they met several old people on the road, and everyone's reaction was exactly the same.
It seems that the man invited from outside is not the person who helped them solve the problem, but the two plague gods who can kill them.
I can't figure out why the villagers reacted like this, according to Hu Nanqian, it should be these villagers who invited me and Li Huaishan to come, since they invited us here, why did they reject us so much?
It wasn't until we reached the deepest part of the village that the man stopped the car, pointed to a mud house outside the window, and said to Li Huaishan and me, "You guys live here." ”
This time he used Mandarin, and Li Huaishan and I both understood.
After we dragged our luggage and got out of the car, the man didn't stop and drove away directly.
Seeing the van disappear, Li Huaishan and I fell silent.
Things don't seem to be the same as they were imagined.
It wasn't until the van was completely out of sight that I turned around and looked at the mud house behind me.
To describe this house in one word, broken, in two words, very broken.
There's no way to live in a place like this.
Not to mention that the roof is almost completely hollowed out, only the beams remain, and even the walls look potholed, and I don't know when it will collapse.
On the eighth and ninth day of December in the solar calendar, the lowest temperature in Xihaigu has reached more than ten degrees below zero, for me who has eaten ice silkworm Gu, such a temperature seems to be barely bearable, but for Li Huaishan, it is definitely not a happy thing to stay overnight at such a low temperature.
We would definitely not be living in this house in front of us, and it was just before noon that we walked around the village, on the one hand, to find something to fill our stomachs, and on the other hand, to ask the villagers about the situation.
It would be great if we could meet someone kind to take us in for the night.
But this was obviously a bit unrealistic, and when we tried to get in touch with the locals, we realized again that the two of us were not welcome in the village.
