Before we could understand what was happening, there was a "snapping" sound of clapping hands in the room, and then a middle-aged man in a gray coat walked out. If the silver-haired old lady just now was imposing, then the man in front of him can really be described as having an overwhelming aura.

Long shirts, cloth shoes, clean and neat three-dimensional facial features, long hair that was very rare in that era, but it did not affect his demeanor at all, and a folding fan with exquisite workmanship in his hand, as if I saw him and even thought he was a hero who had traveled through ancient times.

"He's so fucking handsome!" This sentence is the fat man's evaluation of him, and it is also the first time in his life that he describes a man like this, and it is also the last time.

I have to admit that the man in front of him is elegant, personable, and even a little frivolous and uninhibited, and he thinks that with this skin alone, he is enough to conquer any woman.

We were taken aback by the opening of others, and he first asked, "Your name is Cha Wenbin, right?" ”

Cha Wenbin was also stunned, how could this person know about me?

Perhaps he had already seen our question and said, "The boy of the Qian family told you that I am here, I have been waiting for you for a long time." He looked Cha Wenbin up and down as if he was looking at his prey, and said excitedly and approvingly: "Not bad, really good......

Cha Wenbin was stared at by him like this, and he was naturally uncomfortable, but it was not good to have a seizure, so he asked patiently: "Are you?" ”

The man was still very happy and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll ask you to come and take a look, now it's okay, the first level has passed, I want to know how you found out?" ”

Cha Wenbin replied: "There is no shadow under the sun, not a spirit is also a ghost, although she has a shadow, but there are flaws in the shadow." ”

The man asked with interest, "Where is the flaw?" ”

"She could speak, but the shadow mouth didn't move, and I had doubts; And her skin is too white, this is a wilderness mountain village, how can an old lady in her seventies and eighties appear here? The paper man is a paper man after all, but she was grafted by someone, and she can't see the real fire, but the fact that she will escape means that she has been here for many years, and I am not only in line with the rules of the Daomen. ”

"Good boy, are you really only nineteen years old this year?"

Cha Wenbin replied: "The birthday was given by my parents, and I don't dare to change it, but since you know who my surname is, and you know my age, you must also be an acquaintance, do you know my master?" ”

The man jumped down from the steps and walked around Cha Wenbin again, and the look in his eyes couldn't wait to eat him immediately: "I don't know, I don't want to know, but you are a very interesting person, go back and follow me!" ”

"Is my companion in your hands?"

"You said that doll, you can rest assured that you can borrow it, it's safe."

The fat man rushed over with an arrow, pulled out the pistol on his waist and pointed it at the man: "Borrow? She was kidnapped by you as a big living person, and she still had the face to say that she told us to rest assured, robbing the people's girls in broad daylight, how could she be worse than the bandits in the old society when she looked like a dog? Lao Tzu will do the right thing for the sky today, we will clean up the underground, and your Shi Ye will clean up the above! ”

I understand the strength of the fat man, in his words, it is bragging to be able to beat ten, but two or three ordinary people are still not a problem. His brute strength was combined with some ingenuity, and he stepped up and stretched out his hand to grab the other party's clothes, and he was about to reach it, but the other party just moved his steps slightly, and the fat man's hand rubbed the side.

Because of inertia, the fat man's body continued to move forward, and then the man hooked his foot, and the consequence of this action was that the fat man fell firmly at the gate and ate.

"Ouch, why is the little brother so careless." The man comforted the man while going down to help the fat man, and the fat man was naturally unwilling, so he reached out and put his arm around the man's neck, ready to knock the other party down. His arm strength is incomparable to mine, and knowing his details, I was worried that I would go overboard, and I didn't want the facts to surprise me again. The fat man's hand was so wrapped around the other party's neck and was supported by the waist to help him up, I saw that the fat man's face was already red because of the strength, and the green tendons on the elbows were erect one by one, but the man's face was extremely relaxed, and he asked with great concern: "Didn't you break it?" ”

It is said that the layman looks at the excitement, and the connoisseur looks at the doorway. Just these two hands, the fat man knows that he has met hard stubble, and the ruthless man will be more ruthless than him, and when he comes down, the fat man has completely lost his temper, and he has a red face with a drooping head, which is ugly.

Although Cha Wenbin doesn't know how to punch and kick, he is not stupid, everyone can see what is going on, and he still asked in a top hat: "Big brother, don't embarrass us young people, that girl is our friend, we plan to go back to our hometown, so please return the person to us." ”

The man thought for a while and said, "I can't be the master, but if you promise to go back with me for a year and a half, maybe I'll help you ask." ”

"What if I don't say yes?"

"Please, then, by the way, tell that little fat man playing with guns, there should be at least five snipers aiming at your heads at this time, and you'd better put away your."

"I can go with you!" Cha Wenbin said this sentence calmly and naturally, as if he had thought about it for a long time, and before we could even stop him, he said, "But, please spare a few of my friends." ”

"Okay, just wait here, I'll ask about the progress." After saying that, the man turned around and went back to the house, and after waiting for a cigarette, he came out and said, "You can stay, and the other two go to the gate of the village office and wait, and tonight, they will return it to you, and you can come in with me." ”

Cha Wenbin turned around and said to me: "Xiaoyi, take Xiaobai and the stone away, do some stable trading in the future, don't go if the risk is big, your family is just like you, I have no chance to be filial, you have to cherish it." ”

When I heard him say this, it seemed like parting with life and death, and I became more and more uneasy: "You ......"

Cha Wenbin seemed to see what I meant, and said, "It's okay, let's go, let's go, I won't let her bear it as a girl." ”

This sentence made both me and the fat man lose room for refutation, yes, no matter from which point of view, we have no reason to abandon Yuan Xiaobai. If it were me, if it was fat, I think any of us would be willing to stay in exchange, let alone Cha Wenbin.

Many years later, when I think back to that scene, I realized how helpless the word helpless really is.

Back in the tunzi, the fat man and I waited stupidly, counting every minute and second, and that was really called living like a year. From the time we had descended the mountain until the evening, the fat man and I had not eaten a drop of water, nor had we spoken, but we had walked back and forth at the door, and at about one o'clock in the middle of the night, I saw a figure wandering over there.

"Xiaobai?" I tried to shout, because I held it all day, and even my throat and eyes were dry, and my throat was sticky when I shouted.

The man was holding on to the wall and walking towards us, and before I could see if it was her, she had already fallen......

Five days later, in Shanghai, when she woke up in the hospital, her first words were: "What about him? ”

I shook my head, because I really didn't know, when I saw Yuan Xiaobai, she was covered in mud, her body exuded an incomparable stench, and people's consciousness was blurred, and there was a tractor in the tunzi overnight to send us out, as for Cha Wenbin's news, I entrusted it to Uncle Miao.

The wait was long, and half a month later I received a telegram from the northeast, which said that Tunzili had been looking for it since we left the next day, and that all the mountains had been searched but no one had been found. Later, Uncle Miao and I exchanged some letters, mainly asking about Cha Wenbin's whereabouts, but he disappeared like this, disappearing without a trace like those strangers.

Yuan Xiaobai's body was not in serious trouble after examination, just some skin injuries, but she never refused to say what happened, just looked out the window all day long, and sometimes she would shed tears when she looked at it.

About a month later, when I visited her again in Shanghai, there was only one housekeeper left in the Yuan family's mansion, and Yuan Xiaobai left me a letter saying that her father was going to send her to the United States to study. Later, I once received a postcard from the United States, with an enviable university sign in the background, and a photo of her smiling brightly but with a hint of loss in her eyes.

The fat man and I went south to Guangzhou, which was a few years when China's economic development had just begun, and Shenzhen was still full of construction sites at that time. At that time, making money was crazy, and the fat man and I chose his old business: collecting rags.

With the help of the advantages of the port, a large number of second-hand items collected from abroad were piled up on the dock, from clothes to electrical appliances, and those things that foreigners thought were outdated were the most lacking in the mainland at that time.

A second-hand Japanese television set can be shipped from Guangzhou to the mainland, and a wagon of second-hand suits will be snatched up after being purchased as scrap and sent to the mainland. It was an era of information asymmetry, and it was also an era of the most rapid development, and the fat man and I were lucky that we got the first pot of gold.
