The building where the old man lived was already dark, and the two discussed it and decided to start looking for people according to the address on the letter tomorrow, after all, neither of them was a local, so they could only look for it slowly tomorrow.

The two of them ate casually and went back to the hotel, although the time before and after coming to Xi'an was not short, in addition to going to the Terracotta Warriors, in fact, the two of them had never been to other places, but now the two of them are not in the mood to go to the mountains and rivers, just want to have a good rest, tomorrow quickly find Mr. Yin and Yang to understand what is going on with Xiaoxiao.

The next day, the two didn't sleep again, got up very early, and asked all the way according to the address on the letter, although more than ten or twenty years have passed, but the address has not changed, it is an old community, think about it, can it not be old after ten or twenty years, maybe it will be demolished in a few years, and it will be difficult to find it at that time. The two found the place according to the address on the letter, and no one opened the door after knocking on the door, it seems that there is no one at home, and the two estimate that this Mr. Yin and Yang should be at least about the same age as the old professor, did he also go out to exert his residual heat? The two looked at each other, but they had no choice but to sit at the top of the stairs and wait. This is a day, in the middle Qin Lai went downstairs to buy two boxed lunches, Zhou Zheng's reason was that Qin Lai climbed the stairs quickly, so he should go, and he guarded the door in case he missed it. It wasn't until about six o'clock in the afternoon that a middle-aged man stood in front of the two of them with the vegetables he had just bought from the vegetable market and asked the two to let them go, that the two of them understood that they had finally arrived, but looking at the age was wrong, Zhou Zheng stood up and asked politely: "Excuse me, does there a Mr. Yin and Yang live here?" The middle-aged man looked at the two of them in surprise: "Who are you?" How do you know that Mr. Yin and Yang live here? Qin Lai hurriedly took out the letter and said, "This is what he left us, let us come here to find him." The middle-aged man took the letter and read it and said, "He is my father, come in and talk about it." The two looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

The middle-aged man opened the door and let the two into the house, poured tea and looked at the two people who were looking at the room and said, "My wife has gone back to her parents' house these days, and the child lives in school, so I am alone at home." The two nodded in understanding.

"Actually, my father doesn't live here for a long time," the middle-aged man got straight to the point.

"And where does he live now?" The two were shocked when they heard this, and the clues they finally found must not be broken.

"I have lived alone in the mountains for more than ten years, and I have sent some food every month." The middle-aged man said.

"Living alone in the mountains? Why? The two were surprised.

"This started more than ten years ago, more than ten years ago, my father was a relatively famous Mr. Yin and Yang in this area, and people from all over the country liked to come to him to see. But once after I came back, I felt that something was wrong with him, and after I went home, I stayed in the room for a week and didn't come out, and all the people who came to him were closed, and a week later I took an envelope to me, and asked me to give it to a professor surnamed He, and soon left home to live alone in the mountains, because I knew what my father did since I was a child, and I thought it was just to go out to cultivate life, but I didn't expect that this time was more than ten years, and at first I went to persuade him to come back, and then I got used to going with him. It's just that after that, my father never saw outsiders again, and slowly forgot that there was such a person in this industry, so when you just asked if this was Mr. Yin and Yang, I thought it was strange, no one had come to him for many years, let alone a young man like you. ā€

Qin Lai took the letter and said, "Is this the letter you sent at that time?" ā€

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's it, I remember this envelope, and the words are also my father's handwriting." ā€

"So how can we see him now?" Zhou Zheng asked, thinking that he couldn't even see us.

"Before my father went to the mountain, he had instructed that if someone came to him one day with this letter, he would take him to the mountain to meet him. It's getting late today, I'll take you up the mountain to meet him tomorrow, but there's no guarantee that you'll see him, and although I send things up almost every month, I haven't seen him in years. After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he spread his hands to them, meaning that there was no guarantee that he would be able to see him.

"And how do you send things every time?" Qin Laiqi said, thinking that this gentleman seems to be really a master, and he has counted all the steps he has.

"He wasn't there every time I sent it, I waited for a while when I didn't meet him at first, and then I gradually got used to it, I guess my father deliberately avoided not wanting to meet me, and I left every time I sent it to put down something." The middle-aged man's tone seemed a little helpless.

The two looked at each other after listening to the middle-aged man, thinking that they could only go up the mountain tomorrow, so they agreed with the middle-aged man to come to see him early tomorrow morning, and then go to the mountain together to see Mr. Yin and Yang and then get up to say goodbye.

After the two of them went out of the community, they discussed it and decided to buy something to take up the mountain tomorrow, after all, it is always polite to visit people, so they went to buy some food and then went back to the hotel. The next day, the two got up early and rushed to meet the middle-aged man they saw yesterday, and the middle-aged man didn't say anything when he saw the big bags of things in their hands, and the three of them set off for the mountains.

Zhou Zheng and Qin Lai didn't know which mountain they were on, thinking that they were living on the mountain not far away, and they would not be able to get there in a short time, but they knew that they had made a mistake after following the middle-aged man and tossing around for a few cars, and finally when they got on the ox cart and walked up the mountain, they knew that this Mr. Yin and Yang had really run into the mountains to live in seclusion.

The two didn't know what kind of mountain this was, only that this mountain was higher and steeper than the mountain that the two had climbed before, and they didn't see people all the way up after getting off the ox cart, and when Zhou Zheng was almost exhausted, he finally found a wooden house made of tree trunks in a half-mountainside valley connected by two peaks, and the middle-aged man pointed to the wooden house.

The wooden house is not big, it is the size of a room from a distance, it is built alone in the valley, and there is a vacant space in front of the house, I don't know why the story of the three visits to the thatched house suddenly appeared in Zhou Zheng's mind, and he wondered if Zhuge Liang also lived in such a wooden house. When I was in a trance, I didn't realize that the three people had arrived at the wooden house, and sure enough, as the middle-aged man said, I didn't see anyone there, and just wanted to shout twice to ask, the middle-aged man spoke first: "Don't shout, no one is there, I haven't seen anyone for many years, every time I put down something and leave, I guess this time is the same, if you want to see it, you can only wait here to see your luck." ā€
