Su Wenxing chuckled in his heart.

He looked around, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Ghost hitting the wall?

He had often heard about it when he was a child, but he had never encountered such a phenomenon.

If you look closely, it looks like you've been here before.

"Third master, are you sure?"

"Look, this is the cigarette butt I just lost."

Ma Sanyuan lay on the ground, found a cigarette butt, and shook it in his hand.

Qianmen cigarettes are indeed Ma Sanyuan's favorite brand! The cigarette holder was partially bitten and the marks were very new, so it should have been discarded not long ago. Su Wenxing's face also became a little ugly! He looked around, then took two steps, climbed a large tree, and looked ahead.

Heavy snow falls, and the vision is confused.

At this time, standing on a tree and looking into the distance, the vision is not very clear.

Su Wenxing also discovered a strange situation, that is, the snowflakes fluttering in the air did not fall with the wind, but kept whirling in the air. The snowflakes in the sky swirl and dance, making the wind and snow look more weird, and at the same time, it also makes the distant scenery a little foggy.

I looked into the distance before, and my vision was clear.

But now, it makes people feel as if they are covered with a light veil, looming, and they don't really see it.

Is it really a ghost hitting the wall?

Su Wenxing jumped down from the tree and walked in front of Ma Sanyuan.

"Third master, we seem to be in trouble!"

"I know, the ghost hits the wall."

Ma Sanyuan took out a cigarette, lit it in a sheltered place, and then took two breaths.

"What now?"

He looked at Su Wenxing and said, "There is an old saying here in Qi County, it is called the ghost hitting the wall in Guling Mountain, and it is difficult to prevent the immortal Laozi. I've only heard of it before, but I've never encountered it, and this is the first time today. ”

"How did they get away before that, Miss Qiao? They're not locals! ”

"It's useless for the locals, this ghost of Guling Mountain is very evil, and it can't be said when it will appear. I remember someone saying before that a few years ago a local hunter came into the mountains, and a dozen people came out together, but only one person came out. According to him, they encountered the ghost hitting the wall in the mountains and were trapped for more than a month, and then the ghost hitting the wall suddenly disappeared, and he finally walked out. ”

Ma Sanyuan said and handed Su Wenxing a cigarette.

"I thought it was nonsense, but now it seems that we may have encountered evil nature."

Su Wenxing and Ma Sanyuan were on fire and took out the pocket watch from his arms.

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon, but it looks like it's going to get dark soon."

"What should I do?"

At this time, Su Wenxing didn't know what to do.

He pondered for a moment, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped his foot and said, "Let's keep walking, along this stream, I don't believe that there will really be any ghosts hitting the wall in this world, I guess I am scaring myself." ”

So far, Ma Sanyuan has no better choice.

He nodded, tightened the padded jacket on his body, and said, "In that case, let's go." ”

This time, Ma Sanyuan led the way in front, and Su Wenxing followed behind. The two men walked very carefully, walking along the creek. Feeling it, they didn't turn a corner, they just went straight forward. After walking for about another hour or so, Su Wenxing suddenly stopped and called out to Ma Sanyuan, who was out of breath.

"We're turning back again!"

"Huh?"

Ma Sanyuan was on crutches with his gun, panting, and looked around.

It's really earned back......

His face became more and more ugly, and his gaze fell on Su Wenxing's body.

"Find a place to shelter from the wind and snow first, if you go on like this, you can't find the road, I'm afraid you'll freeze to death first."

At this time, both of them are like snowmen, with snow on their hats and clothes.

Ma Sanyuan nodded and said, "I remember that there was a stone crack on the road just now, but you can hide from the wind and snow." If we were going to go in circles, we would definitely find that place. ”

"Okay, let's go."

As Su Wenxing spoke, he stepped forward and hugged Ma Sanyuan.

The two of them walked in the wind and snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and after walking for about ten minutes, they found the stone crack that Ma Sanyuan said. The so-called stone crack is actually a mountain rock with a crack at the bottom. It is about three meters high and top, and the top is intact. Ma Sanyuan couldn't hold it anymore, and when he saw the crack in the stone, he hurriedly walked over.

He burrowed into the crack in the stone and beckoned Su Wenxing in.

The inside of this stone crack is very spacious, and there is still a certain gap between two people sitting facing each other.

The wind and snow shouted, but in the cracks of the stones, it was very dry and ultra-thin.

Moreover, there was a lot of hay and dry firewood in the cracks of the stones, Ma Sanyuan gathered the hay and dry firewood together, and Su Wenxing took out a bullet, sprinkled gunpowder on the hay, and then used matches to ignite the hay.

With the help of gunpowder, the fire quickly ignited.

The raging flames drove away the chill on his body.

But with that comes a feeling of hunger.

The last time I had dinner was yesterday at noon. After all, there has been no food for a day and a night, Su Wenxing leaned against the stone wall, and his stomach was gurgling. Ma Sanyuan's situation is better, after all, when he was cooking last night, he padd it a little. But after tossing for most of the day, I couldn't stand it.

"Third master, do you have anything to eat?"

Ma Sanyuan smiled and took out a few steamed buns from his shoulder pocket.

"Where did it come from?"

"When we left, I found it from the back kitchen, but I didn't expect it to be used."

As he spoke, he took out a bayonet, stuck the steamed bun on the bayonet, and grilled it on the fire.

Su Wenxing also took out a bayonet, inserted a steamed bun, and roasted it like Ma Sanyuan.

In the flames, the steamed buns become charred and emit a strong aroma.

Su Wenxing didn't care much, so he took down the steamed bun and devoured it.

There were a total of five steamed buns, Ma Sanyuan ate two, Su Wenxing ate three, and his stomach was finally more comfortable.

"Xiao Su, what should I do next?"

"Wait for the ghost to disappear when the ghost hits the wall!"

"When will it disappear?"

"I don't know ......"

Su Wenxing held the gun and leaned against the stone wall and said: "But I just observed that this 'ghost hitting the wall' is probably related to the weather and the terrain in the mountains." The mountain of Guling Mountain is very strange, continuous and entangled, like a sleeping dragon circling. The mountains are stacked on top of each other, making it impossible for the air in the mountains to spread outward.

When the wind and snow are combined, the outside air collides with the air in the mountains, and then a cyclone is formed. Under the unique geographical environment, the cyclone was amplified indefinitely, forming the current situation.

I reckon that when the wind and snow stop, the ghost will disappear. So, we just have to wait. ”

"Xiao Su, it's okay!"

Ma Sanyuan said: "You even understand this?" Your ability, if you want to put it in ancient times, you are definitely a character like Zhuge Liang. ”

Su Wenxing sneered out loud and said, "Third Master, this is what I learned when I was in school before.

Unfortunately, there was a huge change in my family, and I didn't finish school. It's a shame to think about it now. ”

"Xiao Su, where did you go to school before?"

"When I went to school, it was called Nanyang University Hall, which used to be Nanyang College, but now it seems to have changed its name to Jiaotong University."

Ma Sanyuan's face showed a look of envy, and he said softly: "It turned out to be a top student of Jiaotong University. ”

"Does the third master know about Jiaotong University?"

"I've heard of it, but I've never been there."

As he spoke, he lit a cigarette and threw the cigarette case to Su Wenxing.

"I didn't go to a foreign school, I studied in a private school for three years when I was a child, and then I followed my father to Beiping. At first, he was apprenticed in the back kitchen, and then step by step, he became a cook. ”

Ma Sanyuan didn't ask what Su Wenxing was talking about the 'great changes in the family', and his face showed a look of memory. The smoke obscured his chubby round face, giving it a less than real feeling.

"Originally, it was very good in Beiping, and a restaurant was opened.

I didn't think about the Republic of China, but the situation became more and more chaotic. My restaurant was robbed, and my father reasoned with them, but they arrested him and put him in prison, and he died not long after he came out...... In a fit of rage, I killed the other party, and then escaped from Beiping alone and went to Xi'an. ”

"Why don't you go home?"

"Home?"

A touch of sadness appeared on Ma Sanyuan's face.

"Home is long gone...... As soon as my father died, I would never have a home again. ”

Su Wenxing also lit a cigarette, looked at Ma Sanyuan, and was speechless for a long time.

He didn't know how to comfort Ma Sanyuan, and he also knew that Ma Sanyuan didn't need his comfort.

"Xiao Su, please do something."

"What's the matter?"

"When this is over, take the gold and go."

"Huh?"

"The gold I met in Xi'an, an orphan.

He was working as a thief on the street and was beaten up by me. However, I saw that this kid was clever and didn't want him to continue to mingle outside, so I kept him around. It's been almost ten years.

He followed me, and he was a cook.

Xiao Su, you are a person who has seen the world. When this matter is over, take him out of Qi County and let him have a long experience, is it okay? ”

"What about you?"

"Me?"

Ma Sanyuan smiled, and he said softly, "I have to stay here and wait for the organization to contact me."

In the future, you have to have ink in your stomach. Jin Zi is smart, and following me will delay him. Besides, it will be a good thing for him to learn more in the future. ”

"Third master, why did you join the Communist Party in the first place?"

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I haven't been in the party for a long time. In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, Jiang betrayed the revolution and launched a purge campaign. At that time, I was working as a chef in a restaurant in Xi'an, and I saved someone by chance...... That person is also a college student, and he has also stayed abroad, and his knowledge is very good. After I rescued him, I thought what he said made a lot of sense, so I followed him into the gang. ”

Su Wenxing burst out laughing.

You also joined the gang, were you the king of the mountain at that time?

"Xiao Su, don't laugh at me, what I said is true.

I haven't read much, but I can tell it's bad. What they say is reasonable, and it is very sincere, and they are dedicated to thinking about us ordinary people. Then why can't I join the house? Anyway, I just think that people are stronger than your Kuomintang! Otherwise, how could you be a deserter? ”

"You're a party member?"

Ma Sanyuan was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

"How can it be so easy to get in? People also depend on our situation.

I followed that guy for two years and didn't do anything. Originally, he said that when I came back from the Kailuan Coal Mine, he would introduce me to join the company. I didn't expect it...... They're dead, and I don't know who to turn to. So, I can only wait, wait for the people from the organization to come to me, and then I can join the gang. ”

Su Wenxing rubbed his nose and didn't say anything more.

Ma Sanyuan's words were very simple, but he could hear the firmness in his heart.

Merely......

"Okay, don't talk about my business, I'm begging you, do you agree?"

Su Wenxing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Third Master, do you know what I used to do? ”

"It's better to do anything than to be a cook with me."

"But before I came to Qi County, I was a Taoist priest in Gong County."

"Huh?"

"Now, do you still want the gold to follow me?"

Ma Sanyuan thought for a while and said, "Brother, it is inevitable that people will have a time to memorize words.

You are good at learning, you are righteous, and your skills are not bad. I believe that you will soon get up, and it is impossible for you to be a Taoist priest for the rest of your life. Besides, even if you become a Taoist priest, Xiao Jinzi can learn skills from you. Anyway, no matter what you look like in the future, I just think it's right to let the gold follow you. ”

Ma Sanyuan said it to this point, and Su Wenxing had no reason to refuse.

"The third master looks up to me, as long as Jin Zi doesn't object, then let him follow me."

"It's decided?"

"The big husband has a word, and the horse is hard to chase."

When Ma Sanyuan heard this, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Relieved, he let out a sigh of relief and turned his head to look out.

Immediately after, he shouted in surprise: "Xiao Su, the snow seems to have stopped......"
