Zhang Yupeng and the old man chatted in the big house until almost eight o'clock in the evening, and the broken head man and his parents finally brought dinner to the table.

There are ten dishes and one soup on a table, chicken, duck and fish, and just by looking at it and smelling it again, my saliva can't help but flow out. But despite this, I never moved my chopsticks, and at the same time, I pressed the back of Sun Haijiao's hand to signal him not to eat.

It's not for politeness, it's just that I'm worried that there will be other special ingredients in the dish.

The old man saw that we had not moved, so he took the lead in picking up chopsticks and first grabbed a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. After praising the delicious food twice, he persuaded us: "Move chopsticks and chopsticks, shouldn't it be because you dislike the things in our countryside that don't suit the appetite of your city people?" ”

Zhang Yupeng hurriedly smiled at the old man and said, "Where is the meaning of disgust, this dish is really good." But we really didn't help much, and we were ashamed to be treated with such hospitality. ”

"How can you call it a non-help?! Didn't you bandage that kid's head? The old man widened his eyes again and said, "Although I haven't left the village for decades, I know very well what the world is outside, and there are fewer and fewer people doing good deeds. Come, eat, eat, you're welcome! ”

"That'...... Since you've said so, you're welcome. With that, Zhang Yupeng also picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of green vegetables in his mouth. After swallowing the greens, he nodded at me again.

I believe that Zhang Yupeng should have a way to judge whether the dish is poisonous or not, and since he nodded to confirm that it was okay, then I naturally picked up the chopsticks and started eating. However, I only eat the dishes that Zhang Yupeng confirmed, and I don't touch anything when he doesn't move, and Sun Haijiao also uses the same strategy with me at my suggestion.

I don't think there's any stealth in our movements, but it seems that no one in the Broken Head Man family has noticed, or they have found it and don't want to break it. They just kept changing the dishes we hadn't touched in front of us, and on our side, Zhang Yupeng tasted the first bite first, and then Sun Haijiao and I ate it again.

After only ten minutes of eating, the three of us put down the dishes and chopsticks, and the beer poured for us by the broken head man and his father did not move on the grounds of driving.

Seeing that we had all put down the chopsticks, the old man asked, "Have you eaten all three?" Don't you think our coarse tea and light rice are not in taste? ”

Zhang Yupeng waved his hand and said, "It's already eaten, it's very delicious!" I don't think it's getting early, we'll be back to the city later, so if it's convenient for you, take us to meet the mine owner now, or let us go to the mine to have a look. ”

"It's already late, I don't think it's better for the three of you to stay here today, and it's not too late to see it tomorrow during the day. As you said earlier, you're from out of town, and even if you go back to the city, you'll stay in a hotel. Don't look at us as a countryman, but it's definitely more comfortable than a hotel! ”

"Thank you for your kindness, we still think it's better not to bother." Zhang Yupeng insisted.

"Hey, well, I wanted to stay with my old man for one more night, but since you are in a hurry to leave, I won't keep you. Big grandson! The old man raised his chin at the broken man, "You go and say hello to the fifth child first, and then come back and take them to see the mine, and then I will go back to the house to rest first." ”

"Got it!" The man with the broken head answered, turned and ran out.

The old man then stood up without even looking at us, and beckoned the man's parents to leave with him, leaving only the three of us in the big house, as if he were angry. But I don't think it's that simple, I don't know if it's cold at night, I actually shiver all over my body unconsciously.

"They're going to be in Jihua or something? Why don't we withdraw? I proposed to Zhang Yupeng.

Zhang Yupeng nodded at me after thinking in silence for a moment: "Let's go back to the car first!" ”

Just as the three of us were about to get up, the man with the broken head ran back and beckoned to us: "I have already said hello to the mine owner, he said that he will go to the entrance of the jade mine first and wait for us, I will drive you there, the road is a little far, you can also drive along." ”

We were going back to the car, so we raised any objections and followed the broken man out of the house.

There was no one else in the yard except the broken man, and the little pickup truck was still there, and everything seemed to be normal.

I tentatively asked the Broken Head what his grandfather meant by calling his parents away.

The man with the broken head smiled apologetically at me and said, "My grandfather has a bad temper, and he will turn his face when he says that he will turn his face, and he thinks that you don't give him face, so he directly called my parents away and didn't want them to entertain you again." Don't mind, I'll take you to see the mines. ”

The explanation of the broken head man was reasonable, and I didn't ask too many questions, and returned to the Humvee with Zhang Yupeng and Sun Haijiao. When I sat in the saddle, Mr. Zhang Zhi's sentence "Don't get to the bottom of it" appeared in my head again.

Is it the villagers who have the problem or the mine that has the problem? Or is there something wrong with both?

How strange the family of the broken head man looks, the knife wound on the forehead, and the strange behavior of the old man suddenly leaving the table...... All of this shows that these people are doing something in Jihua, but they asked us to go back to the car, could it be that they are going to wait for us to get to the mine before attacking us?

I was thinking that the Broken Head Man had already driven out of the yard in his white Volkswagen, and flashed his taillights a few times in quick succession to signal us to follow.

"Come along?" I turned my head and asked Zhang Yupeng what he meant.

Zhang Yupeng glanced at me, then looked back at Sun Haijiao, who was sitting in the back seat, and said: "If we leave now, it will be completely meaningless for us to come here, if it's just me, I really want to see what tricks they want to play, but you two ......"

"I'm fine!" I immediately took a stand.

"I ...... I...... I'm not afraid! Anyway, we're all in the car, so if we can't do it, we'll run. Besides, I think if they were going to kill us, they should have done it when they were eating in the house just now, why did they toss such a big circle and let us go back to the car? ”

The question raised by Sun Haijiao is exactly what I am puzzled about. But what he said does make sense, we can run away at any time when we get to the car, not to mention that there is Zhang Yupeng, a Wolverine, there is nothing to worry about.

After figuring it out, I said to Zhang Yupeng: "Follow along, I guess we should be more careful when we go to the mine." ”

Zhang Yupeng nodded, and asked us both to fasten their seat belts, and when Sun Haijiao and I were ready, he started the car and followed the broken man.

The village was still dark, and the man's car was carrying us like a maze towards the big black at the back of the village.

But as he walked, the broken man's car suddenly began to accelerate and turned left in a corner in front of him!

Zhang Yupeng also hurriedly stepped on the accelerator to keep up, but when our car turned left, we found that there was only an empty dirt road in front of us, and there was no shadow of a car on the road at all. Zhang Yupeng turned on the high beams, but there was still nothing in front of him, and there was no car with a broken head on the side of the road.

"Gone?" I couldn't help but be surprised.

"Something is wrong! Sit tight!! Zhang Yupeng reminded us loudly, and then slammed the steering wheel and flicked his tail 180 degrees on the dirt road.

Almost at the same time as the front of the car turned around, suddenly there was a loud bang in the silent mountain village, and a small round hole was cracked in the center of the windshield in front of me!

At that moment, my mind went completely blank. When I came back to my senses, I saw a man standing in the light of the headlights, holding a shotgun in his hand!

That's one of the twin cousins of the broken man!

As I recognized him, he smiled weirdly at us, and ducked into the other corner.
