Chapter 33: Shooting
Watching them eat, I took out Xiaolian's letter and the book, "Uncle Shi, I picked up a letter at the door in the morning, and this book for you to see." I handed the letter over.
"Oh?" Xuanqing Daoist was stunned for a moment, took it and quickly opened the envelope. I didn't know what was written in the letter, but I could only watch his expression carefully.
And Hu San did glance at me with puzzled eyes, he seemed to see my nervousness, and he might be suspicious. I made up my mind that I wouldn't tell him about last night, no matter what he asked.
Looking at Xuanqing Daoren's brows furrowed tightly, his already incomparably vicissitudes of life seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.
After reading the letter, he let out a long sigh and stayed for a long time before he put the letter away and put it in his arms and said: "It's Xiaolian's letter, she said that she is very good, so I don't have to worry, it's just that she has some special things now and can't go home, she said that she will come back to see me in another month." The book was taken from her mother, and she apologized to you in the letter. ”
Is the content that simple? I wondered if he had been watching it for a long time, and he must have been hiding something from us. Alas, there is nothing wrong with me thinking about this, why should we know about the letter written by someone's daughter to her father.
"I'll leave this book to you for safekeeping, it's useless to keep it with me." Xuanqing Daoist pushed the book over.
I originally wanted to be polite, but Hu San put the book away and said, "Okay, then thank you uncle." ”
"Thank you, this is your master's thing, and I can't understand it."
After saying a few more useless words, Hu San and I went back to the room to collect our things and prepare to go back.
When we said goodbye to Xuanqing Daoist, he insisted on leading us out of the scenic spot, and we excused ourselves two or three times, just letting him guide us the route.
He said that this place is not too far from the exit, and it is only a little more than an hour to walk, and he will walk along the path in front of the door until he walks to a wide and large road in more than ten minutes, and then he can go out by walking all the way.
Before leaving, Xuanqing Daoist repeatedly said that if Master came back, he must send him a letter, and Hu San and I agreed and left his house.
After walking a distance, Hu San asked me: "I saw your strange expression just now, is there something to hide from me?" ”
I said that this kid was very thief, and he really saw it, but how could I admit it, I defended: "How is it possible, you still don't believe me in our brother's friendship?" ”
Hu San didn't continue to ask. Instead, he sighed and muttered, "Where has Master gone?" ”
We chatted for a while, and sure enough, it didn't take long to see a relatively wide gravel road.
While walking, I thought uncontrollably in my head, it was only a few days after I left Master's house, but so many unbelievable things have happened in the past few days, it is like a dream, but I can't be sure whether it is a nightmare or a dream, because every time I think of Xiaolian, my heart is always beautiful, and it is worth it to meet her, even if I experience more dangers.
But how am I going to get close to her, what is going on with her now, she can't even see her own father, and how can I help her?
Walking crankily all the way, Hu San and I have light skills, even if we walk normally, we are much faster than ordinary people, so in less than half an hour, we have seen the gate of the scenic spot not far away. And there are also some tourists on the roadside, or couples, or a family of three, playing on the grass in twos and threes.
I suddenly remembered Tianqing Mountain, and the dozen or so skeletons in that mysterious mansion. Those should all be the lives that unfortunately died under the mouth of the worm, thinking of this, I hate that old Taoist aunt again, but she is Xiaolian's mother. Alas! I let out a long sigh in my heart. I have a hunch that sooner or later there will be a life-and-death battle with that old Taoist aunt, and I don't know how Xiaolian will feel at that time.
Soon, we walked out of the gate of the scenic spot, outside is a wide black road, I remember the first time I saw this kind of road and felt very strange, why the road surface is black, and then I heard Hu San say that this is called asphalt road, the world after hundreds of years is really strange.
"How are we going back?" I don't see any stations here, and it's so unfamiliar, and I don't know how far away it is from home.
"I don't know, I've never been here, so I'll ask." Hu San frowned.
This is not an urban area, and the location is remote, and there are no shops on either side, but there seems to be a small shop in front of you from a distance.
Hu San and I got closer to see that it was a grocery store, and I covered my face with my hands, so that it would be better for people to look better than for others to see a masked person. When I walked into the store, I saw a particularly obese woman watching TV while munching melon seeds on a chair, but there was nothing in this house that looked like a loan store, it was an ordinary home.
"What are you doing?" The fat woman asked, turning around.
"Ah, eldest sister, let's ask if there is a car going to the city around here." Hu San asked with a hippie smile.
"Nope!" The fat woman said angrily.
"Do you know how far this is from the city?"
"I don't know!"
Hu San and I touched a nose.
Walking out of the shop, Hu San scolded "The stinky old ladies are too unqualified, damn!" ”
I was also angry, so we asked if we were talking like that, as if we owed her anything.
Fortunately, a black sedan was parked on the side of the road at this time, and the driver opened the front cover and didn't know what he was messing with, so it was estimated that the car was broken.
"Big brother, please ask, is there a car going to the city here!" Hu San asked.
The man turned around and was stunned when he saw me.
This person is about 30 years old, wearing a suit, but because of his big belly, the suit is a little incongruous on his body, his face is red, and he is sprinkled with air, obviously he has drunk and spilled, this is drunk driving.
He didn't answer Hu San's words, but grinned at me and laughed: "Yo, this guy has so much personality!" ”
I nodded at him, "Big brother, please ask, is there a car here that goes to the city." ”
Before my words fell, I only heard a "bang" in my ears, and then I saw that the window glass of the car suddenly shattered, and the drunk driver man shouted "fuck" and squatted down with his head in his hands and hid behind the car.
"Be careful!" Hu San pulled me hard, and then there were several "bangs", and I don't know what hit the car, hitting a black hole.
Before I could understand what was going on, there was a loud braking sound, and then another black sedan pulled up on the opposite side.
