Chapter 5 Into the Mountains (Final Revised Version)

Before going to bed, Xiaofang asked the proprietress to call me, she said that she roasted some game in the yard for me to taste it, I wanted to refuse, but when I thought of the delicious food in the mountains, I became greedy for a while, and I got dressed and followed the proprietress to the backyard.

Around the bonfire, Jiang Yuan and Li Laosi were also there, and Li Siye was a little surprised when he saw me.

I waved to them, and then sat down on the pony that Xiao Fang had arranged for me, and on the fire was rabbit meat, which was supposed to be a hare in the woods, and it looked delicious.

The proprietress brought a large screen and placed it next to us, and there seemed to be a chair behind the screen, Xiaofang handed me a piece of roasted rabbit meat, and said, "This is caught in the forest during the day, but it is fragrant." ”

I took it and set it aside, pointed to the screen and asked her, "What is this for?" Afterplay shadow puppetry? ”

The little girl giggled and said, "What kind of shadow puppet play, you'll know later." ”

After speaking, I also looked at the proprietress and said that it was strange, the proprietress seemed to be very scared, nodded tremblingly and walked out of the yard, and looked back very uneasily when leaving, and then helped us close the courtyard door.

I glanced at Jiang Yuan next to me, but he was very calmly gnawing on a rabbit leg at the moment, as if it had nothing to do with him whether there were people or ghosts behind this screen, he was just here to enjoy the deliciousness.

Li Laosi was just the opposite of him, sitting respectfully on the pony, his waist was straight, and his hands were placed on his knees in a proper manner.

I couldn't hold back my curiosity, so I approached Jiang Yuan and asked him in a low voice, "Boss Jiang, what's the situation?" ”

Jiang Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the screen, and said lightly: "Accident, I didn't know he would come." Whatever he says to you later, you don't have to pay attention to him, you can hide all the problems, and I can deal with it. ”

I let out an "oh" and sat back in place silently, but I was very uneasy in my heart, and said that who would be behind this screen that could make Jiang Yuan so taboo.

About ten minutes or so, a young man wearing sunglasses walked in with a middle-aged man in a black cloak from the side door of the backyard, and I let out an "ah" in my heart, it turned out that the young man wearing sunglasses was actually him, the young man in a black shirt who appeared in Li Laosi's shop.

Jiang Yuan and Li Laosi stood up at the same time, one after the other on the left side of the screen, the young man wearing sunglasses smiled slightly when he saw Jiang Yuan, and said, "The old man wants to see you." ”

Jiang Yuan looked at each other coldly, and bowed slightly to the people behind the screen, "Do you have any orders?" ”

The middle-aged man got up from the Taishi's chair and took two steps forward, but still behind the screen, and said, "Can't I come to see you without an order?" ”

Jiang Yuan was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the young man wearing sunglasses and said, "Zhang Yang, are the things I want ready?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "It's ready, but I have something I want to tell you separately." ”

"Then wait in my room." After speaking, he turned his attention to my side, "Boss Xiao, it's getting late, you can go back and rest first." ”

I immediately nodded and turned around to leave, and at this time, the middle-aged man behind the screen said, "Boss Xiao, please stay." ”

I wanted to pretend that I couldn't hear and continue walking, but I didn't expect that Miss Xiaofang suddenly rushed out to block my way, her eyes were completely different from just now, and she felt more like a female spy.

"Boss Xiao, the old man has something to ask you, and after asking, he will naturally let you go back."

I looked at her blankly and said, "You're all right, don't mess around here, go roast your rabbit meat." ”

Xiao Fang ignored me, still stretched out his hand to face my way, I looked back at Jiang Yuan, he was looking at the screen intently at the moment, and said, "Boss Xiao was invited by me, please be more respectful to my distinguished guests." ”

Zhang Yang played a round on the side and said: "Jiang Yuan, don't mind, the old man just wants to catch up with Boss Xiao, and he doesn't mean to embarrass him." ”

I grinned and said, "Reminiscence? No kidding, you guys are big shots, how can I talk to you about old things like me. ”

Behind the screen, there was a coughing sound, "Boss Xiao is humble, how is Ling Zun?" ”

I shook my head, "He went to the old man's house to enjoy his happiness, he walked for more than 20 years, took my mother with him, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

A sigh came from behind the screen, "Twenty-two years, I didn't expect to see you again, Boss Xiao, Jin Feng Zhaowen Yubi has to bother you a lot." ”

I scratched the back of my head, a little unconfident, "Don't dare to be, whether the jade can be found depends on whether Master Zu blesses us, but don't worry, I will do my best." ”

The middle-aged man nodded and stopped talking, and the man named Zhang Yang ordered that Xiaofang to send me back to the room, along the way, I walked in front, she walked behind, I wanted to open my mouth several times to ask her what was going on, but as soon as I turned around, I would definitely be able to meet her sharp and gloomy eyes, those cheetah-like eyes made me unable to open my mouth.

When I returned to my room, the gnats had not yet slept, and they were sitting alone on the bed coloring the lacquerware, and when they saw me coming back, they immediately put down their work and asked me, "Boss, is there something wrong?" ”

I smiled bitterly, "It's okay, it's not just that everyone gets together to arrange the division of labor before the fight." ”

The grasshopper said "oh", and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Just now a tall man said that he would leave at six o'clock tomorrow, and let me and you prepare the tools for exploring the way, and we will go with the first team tomorrow." ”

I looked out the window and said, "Got it." ”

I slept fairly well this night, and my mind kept going on after I left, what would they say, Jiang Yuan and the young man named Zhang Yang seemed to have a very good relationship, but they seemed to be very hostile to the middle-aged man, and that Zhang Yang seemed to be very loyal to the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man seemed to care about Jiang Yuan very much, the relationship was a bit complicated, I didn't bother to think about it, put on headphones and listened to music and began to force myself to sleep, so I spent the night in a groggy state.

At five o'clock, I was woken up by the grasshopper, he said that something big happened outside, and when we got dressed and came out, we just saw Jiang Yuan squatting next to a garbage bag, I walked over to take a look, the garbage bag contained a lot of broken hands and feet, and the smell of blood rushed straight to the brain.

"This is, call the police." The hostess looked at us with a panicked face.

Jiang Yuan walked up to the proprietress very calmly and said, "It's nothing, it's just a dismembered wild deer, we will deal with it, don't worry about the proprietress anymore." ”

Although the tone of his speech was very peaceful, every word was full of endless threats, and the proprietress was also a person who knew the times, her eyes swept over the crowd, and she immediately said: "If a few bosses want to eat game, just give a direct order, why go hunting yourself, since you got it yourself, and my kitchen is too small, so I won't entertain it." ”

Jiang Yuan looked at her with a very satisfied smile, "Thank you, hostess, thank you for taking care of you, this is the cost of room and board." ”

With a wave of his hand, a man in black behind him handed over a suitcase, and Jiang Yuan handed the suitcase to the proprietress personally, "We're going to leave immediately, and we're here as if we've never been here." ”

The proprietress immediately nodded, "Several bosses are real people who don't show their faces, everything understands, understands." ”

When we left, I suddenly remembered Xiaofang and wanted to say goodbye to her, but the proprietress said that Xiaofang had gone up the mountain early in the morning and would not be able to come back until the afternoon, so we couldn't wait, so we had to give up.

The mountain road is rugged, Coaster was forced to stop halfway through, everyone walked into the mountain with their equipment on their backs, I looked at the map, we were in the position of the first boundary marker, and in the middle was the second fault, so it is no wonder that the car drove here and there was no road.

Jiang Yuan asked the driver to return to Lijiang to stand by, and at the same time asked half of the fourth team to follow back, and the remaining thirty or so people, all of whom were heavily equipped and dressed in field uniforms, it was really difficult to distinguish people and plants in the forest.

All the way on, at noon we set up camp on the edge of a large rock in the forest, the remaining three members of the fourth team began to cook on the fire, and the others were also doing their own thing, and I had nothing to do, so I caught fish by the stream, and the fish in the deep mountains were all grown in the spring water, and the meat was delicious, and it was not necessarily possible to eat it for any amount of money outside.

I took my homemade harpoon and began to fish, and suddenly I felt cold under my feet, as if my feet were on the ice, and I did not dare to stay longer, so I ran back to the shore in two or three steps.

Thinking that I had caught a delicacy, the grasshopper immediately ran to see it, but there was nothing on the harpoon, and he looked at me in disappointment, and said, "Nothing, it seems that this meal is going to eat compressed biscuits and canned food." ”

I didn't care to listen to his complaints, and my eyes kept on watching the water, and the countless pebbles became more and more beautiful under the clear water.

Jiang Yuan picked up a big stone on the shore and threw it into the water, and said sharply: "Don't look at it, there is a problem with the water here." ”
