Volume 3 The Dragons Appear Chapter 27 Falling Snow
After all, we haven't seen any other normal humans in nearly two days. At this time, when I saw it, I unconsciously felt a sense of joy welling up in my heart. Xiu'er was sharp-eyed and found that there was still a tattered sales office still open here, and immediately said happily, "Mosquito, let's go and have a look, maybe there will be tents for sale." ”
"Well, good!" When I saw the sales department, my first thought was the same.
Heizi instructed to pay attention to safety, and then he and the old man Shi randomly chose a flat ground to sit down, anyway, we don't want to watch the sunrise, as long as there is a place to stay.
The old man in the sales department sat in a thick cotton jacket next to a pot of firewood and charcoal, warm and drowsy, until I stood in front of him and coughed lightly twice before I could barely wake him up.
As soon as the old man opened his eyes and saw me, he immediately retreated straight back as if he was frightened, and because he was sitting on the chair, he fell down with the chair. Seeing this, Xiu'er hurriedly went up to help, "Uncle, it's okay!" ”
The series of actions made me a little baffled, and I thought there was something strange on my face. But when I wiped my face with my hand, I didn't feel anything strange.
The old man finally stood up with Xiu'er's support, and stared at me again by the light of the candle flame for a while before he spoke, "I'm sorry, I was wrong just now, don't treat you as an old person who shouldn't appear." Said and smiled wryly, "Look at this old age, your brain is a little not very bright, what do you two need?" ”
"Uncle, we want to buy three tents, I don't know if you have any of them?" Xiu'er replied gently.
"Tents, some of them. But you don't have to buy it, and those who are waiting to see the sunrise are rented. As he spoke, the old man turned around and walked to the back room, and after a while, he took out three large tents and put them on the platform. ”
Xiu'er took the tent and was about to hand it to me, but I found that the old man still looked at me from time to time. I can see that my heart is frizzy.
"How much is it for a night?" Xiu'er asked.
The old man didn't look at Xiu'er who was asking, but looked at me, as if he wanted to be sure of something. "May I ask if this little brother's surname is Zhang?"
"Huh? My surname is Zhang, do you know me? "I don't know what his intentions are, but at his age, he doesn't want to harm us.
"Oh, sure enough, the surname is Zhang, it's okay, it's okay, old man, I just love to talk nonsense. You can use this tent, and forget if you don't have money. The old man waved his hand and said.
"Ahh So what's going on, uncle, you're also working hard to sell things here, come. Xiu'er took out the money from her pocket as she spoke, and she didn't know how much to give, but we didn't have much feeling about money now, so she hurriedly stuffed dozens of pieces of about 100 yuan into the old man's hand, "Uncle, you take it." ”
After speaking. Xiu'er took my arm and left, for fear that the old man would refuse.
I saw the old man take the money. He casually put it aside and said "thank you" to me. I sat down again, and I vaguely heard him say to himself, "Hey, I'm afraid the world will not be peaceful again!" ”
Seeing me put down the back of the tent, Kuroko turned his head seriously and stared at the sales department for a while, and asked with concern, "Mosquito, is there any problem?" ”
The old man had already begun to close the door of the shop. Soon his figure disappeared from my sight. I gave up thinking about the meaning of his last sentence, and replied to Kuroko, "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that the boss of the sales department said something very strange." It's like you've known me before. ”
"Huh?" Kuroko looked at it suspiciously, but he couldn't see anything. He simply said, "Are you a little suspicious?" Take it easy. ”
Immediately, the four of us hurried to set up the tent side by side, the cold was unexpectedly cold, and after sweating, the cold wind blew, and the cold feeling on our bodies became more and more intense. Everyone didn't care about talking about anything more, they just wanted to quickly get into the tent to keep warm. The young people who were still outside enjoying the night all took refuge in their tents and disappeared during our busy time, and all the silence was silent, and we could only hear the whistling of the wind.
Suddenly, a goose-feather-like object fell on my arm, and when I looked down, it was actually snowflakes. However, just after I was stunned for a moment, the second and third pieces, more and more snowflakes had already arrived, and the snowflakes in the sky seemed to be stirred by the cold wind, and the snowflakes seemed to cut the space into small pieces. Mingyue was a little overshadowed in such a scene of wind and snow in the eyes of literati, and she was ashamed to restrain her own fluorescence.
Looking at the snow scene on the high mountain that seemed to be able to touch the sky at my fingertips, I couldn't help but lose my mind, Xiu'er, who had been waiting in the tent for a long time, curiously poked out her mouth, and as soon as she appeared, she immediately shouted happily, "It's snowing!" ”
The sour feeling that flowed inexplicably in my chest was interrupted by her voice, dusted off the snowflakes that had accumulated unconsciously, and smiled at her, "I didn't expect a casual joke on the train to come true." In early winter, heavy snow falls, which is really rare. ”
When Xiu'er heard this, she opened her sleeping bag and ran out, running and jumping happily, the haze of the tiredness and bitterness of the first two days was instantly swept away, and she only danced with joy among the snowflakes, and I was fascinated by it.
Listening to the movement, the sunspot and the old man Shi who came out of the tent one after another, looked at Xiu'er's stupid appearance with a smile and did not say a word. This was followed by the sound of tents being pulled open one after another, and a group of tourists who had been planning to fall asleep ran out one after another to welcome the first snow of the year, and the scene was suddenly lively.
And because I had been standing outside for a long time, the blood in my veins that was involuntarily excited when I first saw the snow gradually became cold, making my body shiver, so I told Xiu'er, "Don't freeze!" After that, he quickly hid in the tent.
The commotion on the top of the light lasted for a while, and then gradually calmed down, and the young people, who were like children, had more or less suffered from liking the new and hating the old over the years, and they were bored by the enthusiasm for new things, and soon they all returned to their tents. At this time, Xiu'er was the only one outside, as if she was tirelessly playing with the snowflakes.
The occasional flickering lights in the distance meant that even in such weather, the grave robbers were still tirelessly searching for the tomb.
Suddenly, I remembered that this is also a business that is proportional to the reward, and the world only knows that once a tomb robber succeeds in stealing an ancient tomb and obtains the priceless treasure inside, it can be said that he will become rich instantly. But they don't know how much hardship they have to pay for such wealth, no matter what kind of tomb robbers they are. Every time they act, they seem to be walking on the tip of a knife and lifting their heads on their waists, and after the world is asleep, they are still working hard and searching. While the world is gathering for leisurely family gatherings, they may be faced with a choice between life and death. (To be continued......)
