Chapter 53: News of the Four
After sleeping like this, I didn't wake up until the next evening, and the smoker next to me was snoring, and I gently pushed it, and he opened his eyes in confusion.
After several attempts to stand up to no avail, he simply moved his ass against the haystack, and shuddered and took out a completely flattened box of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to me, and lit one himself.
I took a big drag on my cigarette and reminded him, "Let's not set this grass on fire." ”
"Haha." The smoker coughed and smiled, "Let's be two difficult brothers, let's order it, and if we lose some money, it's over." ”
"Haha." I also smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid that if I ignite it, I won't be able to move my legs, and I will be burned alive." ”
"No, no, if that's the case, I'll have to drag you out even if I climb."
I took a long puff of cigarette, and the clothes on both of them were in tatters, and the water, mud, and blood were mixed with all kinds of things, and after being dried, a pimple in the east and a pimple in the west stuck to the body that exuded a strong smell of sweat, so it was not uncomfortable. Looking at myself like this, it's no wonder that I came to spend the night last night, and the old man was reluctant in every way, and finally estimated that he was afraid of the messy blood on my two bodies, guessing that it was not a master to mess with, so he reluctantly gave us this thatched house for temporary use.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You say, what kind of crime is this, the whereabouts of the four of them are unknown, life and death are uncertain, and the two of us were almost killed by those two hundred and five, and what's more serious is that we didn't have any impression of where we escaped after being washed by the water." ”
"Ahem." The smoker re-lit a cigarette, "You don't have to worry too much about a few of them, at least there are four of them, if something really happens, it's good to have a response, we are in this situation now, or recover our strength as soon as possible." ”
As he was talking, someone knocked at the door, "Two little brothers, I just heard you talking, I've been sleeping for so long, I'm hungry, do you want to come and eat something?" ”
When it came to eating, my stomach immediately gurgled uncontrollably, but looking at my dead legs, it still made people want to cry without tears, "Uncle, wait a minute." ”
After saying that, I looked at the smoker, "How to drop, climb." ”
To this day, I can still clearly remember that the old man outside the door waited for a long time and did not see anyone come out, but he opened the door curiously and saw the two of us crawling on the ground like livestock......
I stared at his strange behavior with wide eyes, and hurriedly explained to him: "Uncle, don't knock, I can't move my legs, but I'm really hungry, so I want to climb out, don't scare you." ”
"Ah, I see." After listening to my explanation, the old man stood up tremblingly, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and read, "It's really scared to death, I thought you were possessed by some kind of monster, come, don't climb, I'll help you up,"
Unexpectedly, the old man still had some strength, and finally moved us to the dining table and sat down on the stool after tossing for a long time, and saw the fragrant rice at a glance, which was really very nostalgic.
The old man stood aside and shouted, "Don't eat so fast, be careful of choking, there is a lot of rice, and no one will grab it." ”
But where can we still listen to it, and it took three bowls of rice in a row to finally slow down the reincarnation of this evil ghost.
When the old man saw that I had eaten almost enough, he sat down slowly, brought three small bottles of liquor from the side, opened one by himself, and handed the rest over. "Two little brothers, don't mind if I say something, old man, what did you do to toss yourself like this, it's not like climbing a mountain at all."
The lie was exposed, and my face flushed, "Uncle, don't worry, I am definitely not a bad person, as long as this leg has a little strength, we will leave, and we will not make trouble for you." ”
"No, no, no." The old man hurriedly waved his hand, "Old man, I didn't mean that, no, I started yesterday morning, and I heard that the city was in a mess." People from all walks of life gathered in groups, as if they were going to do something big, and you two suddenly appeared with me last night, so I wondered if there was any connection. ”
Wait, what's going on in the city?
It's also too coincidental that we've been washed out of the water for almost two days and two nights now, and the timing is the same.
So I quickly pulled out a pack of intact Hardman cigarettes from the smoker's pocket and handed it over. "Uncle, you take this cigarette and smoke it, can you tell me in detail what happened in the city?"
At that time, cigarettes were a luxury for ordinary people, firstly, the price was quite high, and secondly, sometimes they could not buy them with money. It's no wonder that when the old man saw the cigarettes I handed over, he immediately smiled and took them and lit one without politeness, and he didn't care about eating, so he said to me: "Old man, I also happened to go into the city yesterday morning to sell some vegetables, but who knows, the market that used to be crowded with people, and there were only so many dozen or twenty people after half a day yesterday, so I rarely asked the people who set up stalls nearby to ask what was going on?" As a result, the man looked left and right several times in fear, and then he came to his ear and whispered: There is about to be a big chaos in the city, and I heard that the gangs are going to be angry. and advised me not to go into the city again recently, lest I be plagued by unwarrantedness.
As soon as I heard about this, there were still vegetables to sell, and it was thanks to my stubborn temperament, so I had to ask the end, that little vendor was running around the city all year round, so he was very well informed. He said that it was said that a large tomb had been found on the West Mountain, and people of all forces wanted to get it. But the bad thing was that the night before yesterday, in the middle of the big lake, dozens of kilometers away from Xishan, it seemed to fall from the sky, and four people surfaced. ”
Four people, hearing this, I was shocked, and the smoker was also so shocked that the chopsticks fell to the ground. That's right, these four people must be the big heads, but it's not good to ask rashly, so I have to calm down and continue to listen to him. "At that time, there was a fishing boat on the lake that was about to call it a day, and when I saw the four people floating up from the water, I hurried to fish, good guys, this fishing is terrible, and when I put all four people on the boat, I opened their heavy backpacks, and guess what's inside?"
Hehe, where do you still use guessing, thinking with your toes, you know what's inside? But on the face, he still pretended to be surprised and asked, "What is it?" ”
