Chapter 30: Ice and Fire

The "old man" smiled, his face wrinkled, and I realized that he might not be that old.

"There aren't many people who travel to the Northeast this season." The old man smiled and said, "Look at your white face and fine hair (tender), and you don't look like a Northeasterner, you shouldn't go back to visit your relatives." ”

I also smiled, "Uncle is in order, I'm really a half-pulled Northeast man." ”

When the old man heard my standard Northeast dialect, he was stunned and began to laugh, "Look away, look away......"

He then behaved very talkatively, but always inquired about the purpose of my trip. I went around the topic one sentence after another, and even I was covered in clouds, and the old man just played haha, chatting until the evening approached.

I went to the dining car for dinner, and when I came back, I found the three of them whispering something together, and when they saw me, they didn't say anything, but the young man peeked at the suitcase in my hand.

Again, they used the black slang, which probably meant to do it at night.

In the early hours of the morning, I got up at night to go to the bathroom, and when the young man was about to pry open my suitcase, I appeared behind them again, and the three of them were startled, but they reacted quickly, and immediately separated from the front and back, and they had formed a trap on me.

The young man held a knife in his hand and glared at me fiercely, "Boy, are you a 'fake skin'?" ”

He suspected me of being plainclothes and I said no.

The old man smiled, "Isn't it? How can you understand the jargon? ”

I said, "Don't you understand?" Are they all "fake skins"?

"It's useless to talk less, tell me, how long have you been staring at us?" The young man was fierce, and they thought I was a police officer who was stalking.

I laughed, "I don't dare to be a 'fake leather', but I really see a few 'real leathers'." After speaking, I turned to the side, and the three of them realized that the police had been gathered in the aisle before and after.

The faces of the three changed greatly, and the old man shouted, "!" When he rushed to the car window, he jumped out of the car, and the other two guys were not ambiguous, and they came out and escaped in an instant.

The police officers opened the luggage left by the three of them, and found a lot of things in it, such as military shovels, machetes, ropes, compasses, etc., etc., and even a short-barreled shotgun......

Back then, the security checks at the train station weren't as strict as they are now, and you could bring these things on the train with a little wrist.

The conductor shook my hand gratefully, saying that it was fortunate that I had reported it in time and did not let these dangerous goods flow off the train. At the same time, I was also curious and asked me how I could see that they had a problem.

I wanted to say that I had actually been a police officer, but I held back, saying that I could understand some Northeast slang, and they seemed to be going somewhere to do something shady.

A young policeman was about to continue opening the suitcase, and I immediately took it, "I'm sorry, this is mine." "When the police officer saw that my luggage was small but not easy to carry, he seemed to be a little puzzled and stared straight at the suitcase. The conductor smiled and led the team back, just patted my suitcase before leaving, "Little comrade, sleep refreshed, you can lose things on the train at night." ”

Two days later, I arrived at the finish line, sat for more than three hours, and finally returned to the small county town after a six-year absence.

It was Lu Yao who took over, he was relatively stable, if he was replaced by Du Longbiao and Qi Yemin, he might have thrown me to the ground a long time ago.

He said that Du Longbiao was on a temporary mission, and Qi Yemin was busy with work and time to prepare for the wedding, so he didn't have time to pick me up, so he could only send him plenipotentiary.

I asked Zhu Xiaoman? Also out of the task?

"The task is heavier!" Lu Yao said, "Weddings are indispensable to her. ”

"Bridesmaids?" I asked.

"Say the right word, it's the bride!"

I froze for a moment, where is this......

Lu Yao said, "Let's understand it simply-Biaozi chased Xiaoman, Xiaoman didn't agree, Xiaoman chased Xiaoqi, Biaozi was very angry, Xiaoqi was afraid of hurting brotherhood, he didn't agree, Xiaoman didn't give up, Biaozi figured it out and matched it together...... That's probably what it means. ”

I was amazed, it was unpredictable.

Just in time for noon, we ate across the water in a noodle restaurant, there is a custom of "getting on the car dumplings and getting off the noodles" in the north, the approximate meaning is to send guests forward to reunion, welcome guests hope to be long, less separation and more gathering.

During lunch, we didn't talk much, Lu Yao was still in the party office of the county bureau, and he was already in charge of a large stall, and he was busy with affairs, and he had to organize two meetings in the afternoon.

We finished eating quickly, and Lu Yao apologized to me repeatedly, saying that he had snubbed me when he first came, and when he was busy in the evening, he would definitely call everyone to get together and get together without getting drunk.

At the same time, I also secretly thought, compared with them, I am really an "idler", if I stayed back then, I don't know if I can be qualified for this kind of busy work with my feet in the back of the head, at least not now......

Lu Yao took me to a small hotel, and left in a hurry without having time to get out of the car, and said that I should credit the accommodation fee to his name, and he would come to settle the bill at the end of the year.

As soon as I entered the hall, I was stunned, and a white smiling face greeted me.

"Fool, long time no see......" she said......

Qin Xuetong said to me with a smile, "What are you doing in a daze, and you don't help me carry my luggage?" ”

I looked at her blankly, "Y-Why are you here?" ”

"Isn't your heart empty?" She said, "I don't think you're here to get married, you're here to get married." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the bride is also my good buddy."

"That's not kissing and kissing, when it comes to the seven-year itch, you can still live by the righteousness of your buddies......"

Qin Xuetong smiled again when she saw that I didn't speak, "Look at you like that-don't worry, I'm not interested in spying on you, it's also a coincidence, in addition to shooting the seaside, we also have to take snow scenes, and the theme of our film is 'Ice and Fire'...... Go wow, what are you still in a daze? ”

"What 'Ice and Fire'......" I asked, "where are we going?" ”

"Do you really want to live here? Let's go, the rooms are all booked. She shoved two large suitcases into my hands and staggered out the door, her mink coat shiny and shiny, and as her tall figure flicked around, many passers-by looked back.

On the way, I asked her how she found me, and she said that it was not easy, and you have been "green" (no money) recently, otherwise you would not have picked the cheapest slow train. After being with me for a long time, she also learned a lot of Northeast slang.

"When I think about it, you must be reluctant to live in a big hotel here, there are only a few small shops, looking for them one by one, and I caught you, a dead mouse." She smiled back at me as she spoke, nearly hitting a telephone pole.

I asked, "How far is it, blind cat?" ”

Qin Xuetong booked a four-star hotel, very grand and luxurious, I just took a shower, she blocked the bathroom door in thin silk pajamas, I asked why, she dragged my bath towel to the bedroom, "Let you see what is called" ice and fire "......"
