Chapter 4 Changes

The mountain fire finally ended, listening to Agui, it seems to be the reason why the weather is too hot, I don't know how it burned, anyway, there will be a mountain fire here every summer, but it is the first time that it is so close to the village, fortunately, it is an abandoned house that was burned, and there is not much loss.

I secretly cursed in my heart, my loss is great, and in this way, the clues that Brother Chu told us will be completely broken. The only way now is to find a way to force Brother Chu to open his mouth after going out, this is definitely not an easy task, and it is inevitable to use coercion, which I can't quite accept. However, it's not completely out of play, so I don't have extreme depression - as long as Brother Chu is not burned.

After talking to the fat man, it seems that we will not stay here for much time, and after finding the old guide, if there is no special reason, we may have to go back to Changsha, because there is no point in staying here. The so-called Sheephorn Mountain inverted bucket may have to be decomposed next time.

The fat man was also very helpless, although he was a little reluctant, but we didn't bring any tools with us this time, and it was not very realistic to go to Giethoorn Mountain. But he still insisted on going to the mountains to see and come back, so in the end he decided to discuss again.

After that, I was always nervous, always thinking that things must go wrong with the old guide, and thinking about the worst, so that when the time came, I could feel better.

Unexpectedly, things went very well with the old guide, and when Gui came back, he told us that he had made an appointment, and that we could go to the old hunter's house tomorrow to find him. The old man had a strange temper, and he told the old hunter that we were zhèngfǔ people, and the old man might be positive, so let's just not show our stuff when the time comes.

The fat man saw that he was not the material of the zhèngfǔ official, and as soon as he discussed, he asked him not to go. He said he went to the fertilizer shop to find a way to ask for some sulfuric acid, to see if he could dissolve the "iron gourd", to see what was in it, and then to pick up the burned ruins, maybe he could pick something out.

I think it's not bad to act separately, but I still tell you not to act rashly after the sulfuric acid is returned, and you have to wait for us to think about it when we are together, this "iron gourd" is still a bit dangerous. The fat man agreed, saying that he was not a child.

After the deliberation was settled, we went to sleep, and all night without saying a word, each with our own thoughts. At dawn the next day, we went our separate ways, and the stuffy oil bottle and I were taken by Agui to find the old hunter, and the fat man went straight to the fertilizer shop.

I thought it wouldn't go wrong, but when we arrived, the old man released our pigeons, saying that we went into the mountains last night and haven't come back yet.

The hunter is hunting and wandering all over the mountain, and there is nowhere to be found, I said in my heart what is going on, how did I suddenly enter the mountain after making an appointment, is it still expected by me? The old man's son was also a little embarrassed, so he said that the old man was confused, and two years ago he suddenly began to be a little abnormal, and he went into the mountain from time to time without saying hello, and he didn't know what to do. Don't listen to anyone who says, just go when you say you, don't care how important things are the next day, you see the shotguns are still hanging on the wall, it's definitely not going to hunt, and you can come back by waiting.

I said in my heart that there was no way but to wait. As soon as he sat down at his house, another person suddenly came in through the door, and when he came in, he asked, "Is Daddy Panma there?" ”

Daddy Panma is the old guide's name here, and it seems that we are not the only ones looking for him, and to my surprise, this man speaks in a Beijing accent.

When we looked out, we saw a middle-aged man with a short figure coming in, and I felt a little strange when I looked at his face, this man had a fat head and big ears, but he was neatly tied, tanned but did not show any physical work.

Daddy's son immediately greeted him, and Gui said to me, "This is Daddy Panma's distant nephew, and I heard that it's a big deal." ”

I listened to his accent, the Beijing accent was pure, and my heart said that this distant relative was far enough away.

The middle-aged man seemed to be familiar with this place, and he didn't hesitate to go straight into the hospital. I handed a cigarette to my father's son, and he had already seen me, and with a puzzled look on his face, he said, "There are guests?" ”

Daddy's son said in Mandarin with a strong local accent: "Yes, also came to find my Daddy, these two are zhèngfǔ in—"

The middle-aged man didn't seem interested in this, and immediately interrupted him and asked, "Where's Daddy?"

Daddy's son looked embarrassed and told him about his father's whereabouts again. The middle-aged man snorted and nodded: "What do you mean, Dad?" It's not there, I always make me deflated, what do I say to my boss. Saying that, he looked at us, and said unkindly, "Isn't your grandson afraid of the lack of money, and he has found another customer and wants to scold me?" ”

Daddy's son was busy saying no, no, saying that we were really looking for Daddy, someone in zhèngfǔ.

The middle-aged man looked at us again, looked suspicious, and walked up to us: "Which unit are you from?" I'm familiar with all the people in this town, so why haven't I seen you before? ”

This is a bit unkind to ask, I looked up at him, and it was not easy to have a seizure, and said, "We are from the province, let's do an interview with my father." ”

"Provincial?" He looked at us suspiciously, but seeing that we were indeed like government agencies, he muttered, turned to his father's son and said, "Yes, then you can persuade your father again, my boss's price is not low, keep that thing, if you don't bring it to life and death, what's the use?" Don't be stubborn, it's absolutely cost-effective to sell, and it's good for the old man to enjoy a few years of happiness with some money. ”

His son kept nodding.

The middle-aged man said again: "You have guests, it's not good for me to gather here, I'll withdraw first." Saying that, he smiled again, "It's done, I'll take you to the scenery." Use more snacks and ask me to drink at night, I'll go first. ”

Saying that, I walked out of the yard, didn't look back, and walked away in a hurry, I looked inexplicable, just? Who is this son? What does he want to do?

Daddy's son breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him go away, and sighed that this man was a distant relative of theirs, and said that he was Daddy's nephew and his cousin. This man is a ruffian hooligan who has been běijīng and has been messing around, and they have long since stopped interacting. This person doesn't know which boss he has followed recently, he went to Guangxi to collect antiques, and asked him to introduce people everywhere.

I asked, "Listen to him, he has taken a fancy to something in your house and wants to take it, do you still have any ancestral treasures in your house?" ”
