The porter fell asleep because he was drunk, but he was just an ordinary person, and Master and I didn't wake him up, but at the moment we were a little sullen and continued to drink two glasses of stuffy wine.

In the summer, the town near the mountains is better, after all, the mountain breeze brings a burst of coolness, but it is still a little suffocating in the small gatehouse.

After drinking a bottle of wine, Master and I were almost drunk, and simply walked out of the gatehouse and climbed to the roof of this little house, ready to spend the night on it.

Master has always been a person who can only solve things and not worry too much, and after listening to so many things in the town, he actually climbed up, and soon snored beside me under the comfortable blowing of the mountain breeze.

This time is only two minutes, but I have always been a person with a heavy heart, but I can't sleep, so I simply sat up, lit a cigarette, and looked at the 'brilliant' night at the foot of the mountain in a daze.

It's very splendid, I'm afraid it's a lifetime in the city people can no longer see the night, the twinkling stars seem to be very close to people, a shining silver ribbon is perfectly integrated with the night, that is the Milky Way Whenever this happens, my thoughts will drift far away, I will think about the stars in the Milky Way, is there also a existence called cultivator? If so, how far have they come?

This world? How amazing is this universe?

However, after thinking about it for a while, I will laugh at myself again, why do the people who run for four sometimes reveal this immaturity?

In contrast to the splendor of the sky, the darkness of this town, looking at it, there is no light in the whole town to look a little lonely, and behind this loneliness there is a kind of darkness that will have a deep unknown, I don't know how to think of this sentence? Wouldn't it be more appropriate not to use the word dead silence to describe this town?

Throwing away the cigarette butt, I laughed, in fact, why should I think too much, everything has to think about why? Master's snoring reminds me that there is a state in life that if this second is quiet, then I enjoy that second of silence, provided that I never give up on anything to do.

With Master's snoring by my side, I was also relieved that I put away my divergent thoughts, closed my eyes and prepared to sleep.

However, it was not so easy to fall asleep under the sound of snoring, and after about half an hour, I still tossed and turned, and finally felt a little sleepy, but suddenly I heard a faint sound of footsteps from the depths of the town.

I didn't pay attention to it at first, thinking that I was 'auditory hallucinations', but as the distance approached, the footsteps became clearer and clearer, making me suddenly sleepy, a little nervous, and subconsciously wanted to wake up the master, but after thinking about it, I just pretended to be asleep and lay flat on the roof.

I was nervous because I had to be on guard because of the situation I was in with Master, and this town was somewhat mysterious and I didn't wake Master because I didn't have any sense of danger in my heart, so I didn't have to make such a fuss, and Master's snoring was the best cover-up, at least not to startle the snake.

I could make out the footsteps so quietly that I couldn't hear them if I wasn't careful, but my hearing had always been good, and the town was so quiet that I could hear it faintly from before.

But I don't know if it's because my master's snoring was too loud and came from a long distance, so the footsteps were slowly not so careful.

Hearing a footstep slowly approaching you in the dark of night is not a good experience, it is always accompanied by an unknown tension, especially when the footsteps suddenly stop not far from you, it feels even stranger.

The person who came was under the gate, and I was above the gate, because the whole gatepost was a small room that was not high, so I squinted, and I could probably see a somewhat rickety figure looking at us under the gate.

My spiritual sense has always been strong, so this feeling of being stared at also makes me very uncomfortable, because that gaze falls on me, it is like turning into a real look at me up and down, and it gives me goosebumps all over my body.

However, the master was fine, he slept more soundly, and even slapped his mouth twice while snoring, muttering a nonsense that no one could understand, which made me cry and laugh.

Maybe it was because the master slept so deeply, and once again 'encouraged' the visitor, and suddenly a light hit the place where the master and I slept, and I reacted quickly, quickly closed my eyes, breathed steadily, and pretended to sleep soundly.

But in my heart, I secretly cursed, who is so rude? Sleep with a flashlight.

The glow of the flashlight lingered on my and Master's faces for a moment, and then it was finally taken back by the visitor, and then I heard a slight sigh, which was sometimes melancholy, but full of a certain kind of worry.

Lose sleep over something? What are you worried about? Could it be that you are worried about me and Master? Obviously, it can't be, but I didn't sense the malice of the visitor, I just felt that he was watching us carefully, as if he was making sure of something? So, I'm slowly becoming less guarded.

After staying for about a minute, the person turned around and left, the slight footsteps reminded me that he was really gone, I couldn't suppress my curiosity and got up slightly, and took a closer look, although there was no light, but it was a starry night, I vaguely saw that the person who came was an old man, from the dress, it was the Miao people of this town.

Why did he come in the middle of the night to observe Master and me? I was full of curiosity, but I didn't have an answer, and I thought about it for a while and finally fell asleep.

――――――――――――――――――― dividing line――――――――――――――――――

The next morning, when it was still dark, I woke up, because this was a town on the mountain, and the morning dew was heavy, and I was awakened by the dampness and coolness of the dew.

When I turned my head, I saw that Master was already sitting next to me smoking dry tobacco, this leaf is not the kind that Master often smokes, just ordinary dry tobacco leaves, and I can't pay attention to so much on the way to escape, and some of them are good to smoke.

"Master, so early?" I greeted Master in a bit of a daze.

"Let's talk about it." Master's face was calm, and he couldn't see anything, so he just went down and said what he meant. Obviously you have something to say to me.

But Master didn't say anything to me, so he jumped off the roof, and I had to jump with him.

In the gatehouse, the uncle of the northeast gatehouse was still sleeping soundly, and when he stood outside the door, he heard the voice of the master who shook the sky and said to me at this time: "Chengyi, go and pack up your things, let's go up the mountain now." ”

"Go up the mountain so quickly, this morning, the dew on the mountain is heavy?" To be honest, I didn't sleep very well last night, and now I have a sore back, and I want to rest in the car for a while.

Master didn't answer my words, but asked me, "Didn't a 'guest' come to see us last night?" ”

"Master, you know?" I was taken aback, at that time, if I remembered correctly, Master slept soundly, how could he know this?

"You think I'm really asleep? I woke up as soon as the footsteps came near, but if I didn't pretend to be like that, God knows what would happen? This town is not peaceful, let's leave as soon as possible, in this situation, more is better than less. Master told me this, but an inexplicable guilt flashed in his eyes.

That's right, this is Master's guilt, I can't be mistaken, but I'm a little baffled, what is Master guilty about?

But the master didn't talk much anymore, but asked me to wash up, eat something, clean up and prepare to go up the mountain, as for where to go on the mountain, I'm afraid only the master knows.

An hour later, we had everything done, and Master and I set off with a half-person high hiking bag on our backs, which contained more professional equipment, including a sleeping tent, I think this time on the mountain should be better than the last time, right?

Because I woke up early, it was only about 7 o'clock, and the porter was still sleeping, so we didn't wake him up, so we set off directly.

When we walked out of the government office building, Master and I found that the town was quiet at night, but we also woke up very early in the morning, and when we walked on the main street of the town, there were already many pedestrians on the street.

Just like when we first arrived, these people still looked at us, their eyes were distant, and there was a sense of violence in other places, and the people of this town just looked at us, and no one came up to you to say a word.

I was looked at in my heart, even if I had a good impression of Miao people, I couldn't resist the anger of being so unscrupulous, and I wanted to have a seizure several times, but I forcibly suppressed it in the mood of not causing trouble, and just walked with my head down.

The town was originally small, and we were heading straight up the hill, and soon we were at the entrance to the mountain.
