After the blind man and Scarface rowed a raft and escaped, Chen Hui and the three of them returned to the grave and put the stones that Scarface had picked up before and put them back on the grave.

When the three of them came down from the mountain, a few villagers appeared on the edge of the waterhole, and a few villagers asked them if there was a raft by the water, Chen Hui would not tell nonsense, so he honestly told these villagers that the raft was rowed away by a dumb man and a blind man.

Subsequently, several villagers looked at Chen Hui and the three of them vigilantly, and one of the villagers asked them unkindly, did you also come here to occupy the place?

Chen Hui and the three of them were stunned when they heard this, and several villagers saw that they didn't seem to know anything, so they said to them and told them to leave quickly, saying that this would be a private place in the future, and outsiders were not allowed to come over again.

Later, we learned that in their area, because of the perennial flowing water in the mountains, the local department wanted to build a large reservoir nearby, and then build a natural scenic tourist area. But they didn't think about it, this mountain is not their own home, can they get compensation, this is relying on the fact that they are locals, deliberately playing scoundrels. In my opinion, if it's not your own, don't go forward and collect ill-gotten gains, it won't end well, and they deserve to lose the raft at that time.

Speaking of which, even if the matter is over, what about these villagers, it will be mentioned later. A few people ate something in the cave and then discussed what to do next. The blind man broke a leg, and it would take a hundred days for his muscles and bones to be broken, not to mention a comminuted fracture, but he shouldn't just give up so easily, and he will come back, but for a short time, he should stay in the hospital and won't appear again.

What Chen Hui meant, let's leave here and go back, looking for other places to break the bronze medal, now this mountain has been occupied by the villagers, plus the blind man also knows that we are here, it is not too safe for us to stay here anymore.

However, what I mean, although there are still a few places on the map where the bronze medal is broken, but the blind man still has a map in his hand, our map is deliberately left to us, the places marked on it, now it is difficult to say whether it is true or false, now this mountain, at least we know that it is true, even if it is occupied by the villagers, but the barren mountains and mountains, these villagers cannot watch on the mountain every day, especially at noon, even if they look at the mountain, they have to go home to eat at noon, we still have a chance to break the bronze medal. If I follow the map in my hand to find another place, in case the other places are false, then I may really be killed by the thunder, besides, these days, we have been climbing mountains and wading through the water, and we are all tired, and we should stop and rest for a while.

When Chen Hui heard me say this, he shook his head and sighed, and said inexplicably: "It's all God's will, and it can't be violated by man." ”

I don't understand what he meant, did I decide to stay, not my will, but providence? Chen Hui wanted to persuade me to leave against the will of heaven, but he couldn't?

In the end, Chen Hui agreed to stay, and the four of us stayed.

At this time, there were almost three months left before the sixth day of June, and the food and money we brought with us were not enough to last us for a month, so we had to go down the mountain and find a place in the village at the foot of the nearby mountain, and live for the time being, and it was better to find a job to make a living.

Before, we saw a house in the southeast of the place where the bronze medal was broken, it should be a village, and it was not far from the place where the bronze medal was broken.

By this time it was already dark, and several people slept in the cave all night, and early the next morning, they packed their belongings and walked down the hillside towards the house in the southeast.

After walking for less than a morning, we came to the place, which looked like a village, but it was not so much a village as a dozen or so individual households, scattered and high and low living on the hillside, each of which was at least a few dozen meters away.

We walked around the village and found that at least half of the dozen or so houses were empty, and they had long since been unoccupied, and they should have all moved to the bottom of the mountain.

As soon as we saw it, this relationship was good, so we didn't need to find a place to live, just find a better empty house to live in.

Finally, we found a courtyard halfway up the mountain, close to the peak of the bronze medal, and the highest point in their village, with a commanding view of their entire village.

This courtyard has no courtyard wall, yellow mud adobe house, gray tile roof, there is a flat open space in front of the house, probably because no one has lived for a long time, there are a lot of weeds growing in the stars, standing on the open space and looking into the distance, the farthest distance can see the road through the mountain, and there seems to be a town near the road, where the houses look a lot. I guess all these residents on the mountain have moved there.

The house has no door, it should have been taken away by the residents when it was relocated, and there were two suites in a master room, and it was completely empty, and there was nothing.

The four of them went in to see that it was okay, it was better than sleeping in an open grass nest, and then they cleaned the inside.

After cleaning, I burned a bundle of incense in the middle of the main house, because when I first came in, I felt that the house was gloomy, as if there were some unclean things, if a few of us lived in again, it would be equivalent to robbing their territory, although we were not afraid of them, but the etiquette must be done, this is the rule, but also politeness, respect for the ghosts, you can win the respect of the ghosts and gods for you.

Burning incense, I muttered a few words to the house: Passing by the precious land, I am really helpless, spend a few nights, please have a lot of Haihan, no wonder.

After burning the incense, we went to the hillside to find some artemisia grass and smoked the whole house.

After the toss was over, noon was almost over, and a few people ate something, and discussed again whether they should go to the town down the mountain to see if they could find some work to do.

In the afternoon, we left our luggage in the suite of the house, and the four of us changed into clean clothes and went down the mountain lightly.

After walking along the mountain road for about three hours, I arrived at their town, and then I inquired about them, and they found that they were poor in this place, and there was no industry at all, and the locals either went out to work, or relied on a few acres of thin fields in the mountains.

However, in their town, because of the road through the mountains, there are several restaurants and hotels in the town, and business seems to be good, and many long-distance buses stop here for accommodation.

The four of us discussed, if not, we will go to these restaurants and ask to see if they want people, and after asking, who knows, the people here will not be able to use up, and in the end there is no way, so we will discuss with the boss of the hotel, we can do any work, no money, just stutter.

As soon as we said this, two hotel owners agreed, but they didn't want so many people, as long as one person in a family, we discussed it, and it was okay to have one, so I stayed in a hotel in Ludong, and Qiang Shun stayed in a hotel in Luxi. The owners of these two restaurants may see that Qiang Shun and I are young, thin and weak, and can't eat much, the stupid cow is big and sturdy, and Chen Hui is too old, and no one wants either of them.

Eventually, the four of us wandered around town again, and we couldn't find anything else. Only two of the four people have been settled, and they can't earn a penny just for food, so they are quite helpless. I had no choice but to persuade Chen Hui and Silly Niu to let them go back first, even if they didn't have money, I promised not to let them go hungry.

At first, the two of them disagreed, and finally we went around again, completely desperate, and the two of them had to leave first, and Qiang Shun and I stayed in the hotel that afternoon.

Sometimes, for a bite of food, life is really difficult, but you can't give up living because of hardship, if you give up, then you will lose your life, victory, flowers, smiles, always dedicated to those who are the strongest.

The work in the hotel is a little easier in the morning, generally opening at 9 o'clock and 10 o'clock in the evening, and closing until 10 o'clock in the evening, which is equivalent to 12 hours, and 12 hours is only a lot more.

Although Qiang Shun and I are not together, we do the same work, sweeping the floor and serving dishes, wiping tables and glasses, washing vegetables, washing dishes, washing dishes, etc., and sometimes going to the mountains to pick wild vegetables.

The boss only cares about what we eat, regardless of where we live, after we worked for two days, we discussed with our own bosses to see if we could take the guests to eat the rest of the meals, let us take them back, there are still people at home who have not eaten, the hotel owner saw that we were very pitiful, and also saw that we were very hard working in the past two days, besides, they all took advantage of it, and found two coolies who did not spend money, and they all agreed that we would bring some leftovers back.

That's it, after hitting there, Qiang Shun and I took a big bag of leftovers every day, ran dozens of miles of mountain roads back to the village late at night, stayed in the village for one night, got up early the next day, and then ran dozens of miles of mountain roads back to the hotel.

When Chen Hui saw the two of us like this, he sighed every time, saying that it was hard for the two of us, and that he was an old guy who had burdened us, Chen Hui wanted to take the stupid cow to the town to ask for food, but we didn't let it, one, their town is not very rich, and I don't know if they can ask for something; Second, asking for food is a last resort, but if there is a little way, you must not go out to ask for food.

I and Qiang Shun two, I don't feel bitter, but I feel bitter Chen Hui and stupid cows, can only eat leftovers all day long, the weather is getting hotter and hotter at that time, the food is not released, put it overnight and the next day will taste, the two can only eat one meal a day, and then eat it is spoiled.

A month later, the time came to the middle of April in the lunar calendar, Qiang Shun and I were almost familiar with each other in the restaurant at this time, and our respective bosses had a good impression of us, so I discussed with Qiang Shun to see if I could talk to my boss again, and let them take care of Chen Hui and Silly Niu three meals a day, so that the two of them would not have to eat leftovers every day, Qiang Shun nodded and agreed.

At noon that day, when the guests were gone, there was nothing to do in the hotel, so I planned to go to the hotel owner to discuss, who knows, at this time, Qiang Shun rushed into the hotel in a hurry to find me, and insisted that I go to their hotel with him.

I saw that he was panicking, as if something important had happened, so I asked him, "What's wrong with you, is there something wrong with your store?" ”

Qiang Shun said: "Come with me and have a look, just now I went to find our boss, our boss is talking to a few people, and he wants to collect a living creature from those people." ”

I was stunned for a moment, feeling that the living thing Qiang Shun said might be unusual, so I hurriedly asked, "What kind of living thing is it?" ”

Qiang Shun didn't answer directly, he raised his hand and pulled my arm, "Come with me and have a look, you will know when you see it!" ”

The end of the text, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, stop for two days, before the aging of the wires at home, changed once, however, bought the cheapest wire, now, many interfaces fire and leakage, as a last resort, I found a friend to redesign the line at home, and bought the best wire socket and so on, it takes about two days to get it right, are looking for friends, take advantage of the weekend to have time to come, you are considerate.
