Qian Yiduo and Yingzi hugged each other tightly in fright, peeking through the gap in the window. I saw that in the still dark courtyard, a dark shadow came to the pool like a ghost.

With the sound of water, Qian Yiduo saw clearly that the black shadow was Liu Ren, the owner of the small inn.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said softly to Yingzi: "Yingzi, don't make a sound!" That black shadow is not a ghost, it is Boss Liu. Since he didn't admit that you lived in this little shop, and didn't want to see me say anything to you, I went out quietly, pretending not to know what you were like here. In this way, lest he bump into us at night, lonely men and widows, it is inevitable that there will be some scandals, which will affect your reputation. ”

Yingzi nodded lightly, Qian Yiduo got out of bed and quietly walked to the door of the room. He saw Liu Ren washing something by the pool with his head down, so he gently opened the door of Yingzi's room, followed the wall, tiptoed, and quietly returned to the door of his room.

He looked back and saw that Yingzi had blown out the candles in the room and closed the room, and then he was reassured.

Qian Yiduo coughed deliberately and said loudly: "Boss Liu, are you back?" What are you busy with? You won't catch any more game, will you? ”

Liu Ren seemed to be taken aback by Qian Yiduo, and the things in his hand fell into the pool. He looked back at Qian Yiduo and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Brother Qian, can you be quieter?" Early in the morning, it almost scared me to death. ”

He leaned over and touched the pool for a while, grabbed something, held it high in his hand and said, "Brother Qian, you have a good mouth!" Last night, I was lucky enough to catch a pangolin! ”

Qian Yiduo was surprised: "Boss Liu, the pangolin is a national second-class protected animal!" It is forbidden to hunt and eat, how can you catch and kill? ”

Liu Ren was stunned, and then said dissatisfiedly: "I'm a person from the mountains and wilderness, why don't you care about him so much!" Brother Qian, this is your food today, you can't increase the price! ”

Qian Yiduo saw that Liu Ren was dissatisfied, and he was afraid of angering Liu Ren in his heart, so he hurriedly said: "Boss Liu, thank you so much!" But I have to go back to town today, and I forgot to send an important email to the business partner. I bought this pangolin, went to a small restaurant in town to process it, and brought it back in the evening to invite you to drink together. ”

Liu Ren's eyes widened and said, "What? You're not going back to your hometown? Didn't I say that the road here may be opened the day after tomorrow. ”

Qian Yiduo hurriedly laughed and said, "Boss Liu, of course I want to go back to my hometown!" Isn't there still a day or two left before I leave, I'll go back to the town today to find an Internet café, get down to business, bring something delicious, and rush back in the evening to stay overnight. Boss Liu, the deposit I paid is not enough, right? I'll add another hundred dollars later, and you'll have to wait for me to come back in the evening and invite you to drink!" ”

Liu Ren said with affection: "Brother Qian, you are really refreshing, but you are not as slashing as the city people who usually come to me." If you want to go to town, I'll go to the village and get someone to send you on a motorbike. But I have to warn you first, this price is a bit expensive, and you will be charged 50 yuan for a trip. ”

Qian Yiduo said: "Boss Liu, don't look at my brother's appearance, but he is not short of money!" Boss Liu, since you are so enthusiastic, please go and call a car for me now, you have been busy all night, and you will have to sleep and rest in a while. ”

Liu Ren smiled and put the pangolin in front of Qian Yiduo. Qian Yiduo understood, took out a stack of money from his pocket and counted it: "Boss Liu, I won't worry much about you, this deposit plus the money of the pangolin, I will give you two thousand, and please don't be too little." ”

Liu Renmei smiled and said, "Brother Qian, how can you use so much, you are too polite!" ”

Having said that, his hand unequivocally took the money handed over by Qian Yiduo, and put it in his pocket without counting it, as if he was afraid that Qian Yiduo would regret it.

Taking advantage of Liu Ren's hurried departure, Qian Yiduo hurriedly ran to the door of Yingzi's room and asked quietly, "Yingzi, how did you leave this village later?" ”

Yingzi said lightly in the room: "Brother Qian, don't worry about me, you quickly pack your luggage and leave here first." If we go together, it will arouse Liu Ren's suspicions, and it will expose the fact that you have already met me. You can rest assured, there are many families in this village who make motorcycles to send off customers. When you leave first, I will naturally have a way to leave quietly. ”

Qian Yiyi couldn't help asking: "Yingzi, there is no mobile phone signal here, and there is no electricity, and my mobile phone is out of power." What if we leave one after the other and lose contact? ”

Yingzi was silent for a while and said, "Brother Qian, you are really a good person. In this way, you don't have to wait for me on the road, and after we leave, we will take a taxi to Xi'an City. I have a little sister who works as a nurse in the People's Hospital, and we met in the hospital. ”

Qian Yiduo was about to ask again, but when he saw that Yingzi was no longer talking, a small note was stuffed into the crack of the window, on which the meeting place in the hospital was written in detail.

Qian Yiduo didn't ask any more, put away the small note, carefully hid it, and returned to his room.

When he packed his luggage, he suddenly thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate, so he opened the suitcase again and took out the change of clothes that had just been put away and had not yet dried.

He walked out of the room with his clothes and dried them on a straw rope hanging between the two trees. As soon as I finished drying my clothes, I heard Liu Ren's footsteps.

Liu Ren shouted loudly: "Brother Qian, are you ready?" The drop-off person will arrive soon! Brother Qian, when you get to town, don't forget to bring a few delicious braised vegetables! ”

Qian Yiduo smiled and said: "Boss Liu, don't worry about this, I will come to the town today, and I will definitely bring back a big bag full of delicious things, and we will have a good time at night, and we will not return home if we are not drunk!" ”

Liu Ren was overjoyed and said, "Really? If that's the case, I won't go out to look for mountain goods tonight, so I'll drink all night with Brother Qian. ”

Qian Yiduo pretended to be happy and said: "That's great, Boss Liu, you really give face to your brother." By the way, I'll come back in the evening, Boss Liu, you have to help me take care of the change of clothes, don't let the thief go away! ”

Liu Ren grinned and said, "Brother Qian, don't worry!" We mountain people are very kind, and no one will steal. Now that the road is not open, there are no tourists from other places, so there is nothing to worry about. Brother Qian, do you hear the sound of motorcycles outside? The person who sent off the guest is here, you go quickly, I will wait for you to come back in the evening! ”

Qian Yiduo hurried back to the room, picked up his suitcase, and hurried out the door. In the morning light, a lean young man was riding a dilapidated motorcycle, waiting for Qian Yiduo.

Qian Yiduo stepped on the back seat of the motorcycle, and the man stepped on the accelerator and quickly left the small village. Looking at the small inn that was getting more and more blurred until it disappeared, Qian Yiduo finally let out a long breath.
