The fat man was drunk and talked nonsense in the mourning hall, so I scolded him, but after I just reprimanded a few words, I found that the fat man was already snoring like thunder, so I had to take a blanket to cover his body, and then said to the fifth master: "Fifth brother, don't mind, the fat man is a big heart, too direct expression, and does not consider the consequences, so it is because of sadness that he will be drunk like mud, you must not mind." ”

I sat on the small bench near the brazier with the fifth master and burned the paper money inside, and the fifth master said to me: "Brother Fat is also helpless, I can understand it." After what happened today, I actually want to get drunk, but my identity doesn't allow me to do this, and I envy the fat brother now. ”

I looked at the face of the fifth master who was red by the brazier, and thought: This resolute man in his forties has too many things in his body that I don't have. I have respected him from the bottom of my heart since I was a child, and I have been learning and working hard to catch up with him.

I gently threw the paper money into the brazier one by one, and after thinking for a while, I said, "Actually, when I had dinner tonight, I wanted to speak to encourage everyone's morale, but I didn't expect someone to speak first. Moreover, the results are good, and I feel a lot more relieved. ”

Fifth Master Zha patted me on the shoulder and said, "You have worked hard along the way, I have you and the fat man by my side, and my heart is much more steady." This team is not easy to lead, everyone works independently, and it is inevitable that when encountering difficulties and dangers, they will choose to protect themselves. But as long as we have the same goal, this team will not fall apart or fall. Therefore, we must consolidate the centripetal force and let everyone firmly move towards the same goal. If, one day I leave early. Failed to accomplish the goal. Xiaowen, you just follow my steps, take this team, continue to walk, and complete the ultimate goal. ”

After listening to the fifth master, I hurriedly said, "Fifth brother, the old man is gone." You are our backbone, and you can't say that. Besides, I don't have the ability to lead this team. This arduous burden is still resisted by you, a person with broad shoulders, and my thin little shoulders can't stand it. ”

After hearing this, Fifth Master Zha said with a smile: "I know very well the ability of you and the fat man, and everyone can see it. I dare say. With the ability of the two of you, you can be regarded as one of the best masters among the inverted craftsmen in the capital. ”

I smiled modestly and said, "Fifth brother, you are too exalted to me and the fat man, I don't know how many catties and taels we have?" Although the two of us broke out of the roll call before, they were both fishing and sliding by luck, but in fact, they didn't have any real skills. ”

Fifth Master Zha gave me a rare and sincere look, and then stared at the body of Zha Lao and said with emotion: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves." It is an eternal truth that the waves will eventually die on the beach. ”

Then. After listening to the words of the fifth master, I just felt that it was very reasonable, but I didn't expect that his words had a more far-reaching meaning.

The old man died in the attack on the camp, and I accompanied the fifth master to guard the mullions, but I fell asleep unconsciously.

When I woke up, I was awakened by a noisy human voice, only to find that I was sitting on a chair with a blanket on my body, and the tent in the mourning hall was full of people, and someone was carrying the body of the old man into a simple coffin, and some people were removing the worship objects in the mourning hall.

Seeing such a scene, I hurriedly got up, and the fifth master walked towards me, and said with a smile: "Woke up?" ”

I first nodded, and then said ashamedly: "I said that I would keep a vigil with you, but I fell asleep without a fight." ”

Fifth Master Zha waved his hand and said to me, "You experienced a fierce battle yesterday, so it's no wonder that your body is not tired. ”

I asked the fifth master, "Do you want to send the old man away?" ”

Fifth Master Zha nodded, and I immediately said to him, "I'm going to give him a ride." ”

Fifth Master Zha nodded silently and said, "Okay." ”

The body of the old man was put into a simple coffin, pulled by the car and sent back to the capital, I and the fat man sat in the car of the fifth master, followed by the hearse, the air pressure in the car was extremely low, everyone was silent, the desolation of grief and indignation penetrated into the air, making people feel uncomfortable to breathe.

Suddenly, the hearse in front stopped, and the three of us jumped out of the car, and walked to the hearse, the fifth master knelt down first, and then I knelt down with the fat man, and the three of them kowtowed to the hearse three times, and the fifth master stood up and waved his hand, signaling the hearse to go on the road.

The three of us and a group of people behind us stood in the sand and dust raised by the breeze, quietly watching the hearse like a clay sculpture, and the distant hearse gradually turned into a black dot, and finally disappeared from our sight.

Fifth Master Zha immediately turned around and said, "Go back." When I stepped into the car, I saw a trace of crystal tears, hanging on the cheeks of the fifth master who was full of fortitude and vicissitudes, and I sat down silently without speaking.

On the way back, I was thinking that once the inverted craftsman embarked on a difficult journey, it meant that one of his feet had stepped into the coffin, and from then on, this body could not help me.

Elder Cha was lucky, at least his body was intact, and a group of people sent him to his death. When most of the inverted craftsmen die, they may be accompanied by strange tombs, desolate and cold forests and deserts, or dead corpses buried in the belly of unknown ghosts.

On the road of no return, there is only the way to die, which is always like magic, so that you can't expect it, and you can't guess when it will stretch out its claws.

When he returned to the camp, breakfast had already been prepared, and Fifth Master said that he had no appetite and didn't sleep last night, so he went to sleep for a while.

The fat man and I nodded, and then ate breakfast, we both know best that in such a journey, every meal can become the last meal in our lives or on this trip, so we should cherish it and try not to miss it when we can eat.

After breakfast, everyone began to dismantle the tent.

After lunch, everyone embarked on this unknown journey with a bleak future.

The pace of the march was slow, and the atmosphere was not optimistic, and after three days of stop-and-go, the rear, finally came exciting news, and in one day, the supply convoy in the rear arrived.

In the three days we traveled, for the sake of safety, we were also hit by the previous blows, almost all of us slept in the car, and the range of activities was also very limited. In order to limit the range of activities and reduce the occurrence of accidents, a skilled craftsman also made a portable simple toilet, which solved the problem that everyone had to go to a place where no one had to solve their hands.

On the fourth day of the march, the supply troops quickly caught up with our team like a miracle from heaven.

As soon as the leader of the team arrived, the fat man was happy, and immediately spoke out and said, "Lao Zheng, your rival in love is here." ”

The rival in love that the fat man said was actually Qian Jiaying, who ranked fourth in the eighth middle school outside the capital, who was personable and looked like a playboy. The fat man has the same surname as him, and his personality is very talkative, that is, the kind of person who can eat, drink, fight, and fight, and the fat man belongs to the same hill, and his temperament is also the same as that carved out of a mold.

I don't agree with the two of them often coming and going, because as long as they get together, they either drink and make trouble, or flirt with women from good families, and they don't cause much trouble, and I actually wipe their butts, so I don't want them to come and go often, even if they come and go, it's best to have someone around who can suppress and restrain them.

I was thoughtful, but the fat man misinterpreted my kindness without knowing it, saying that I was jealous, so he didn't let him associate with Qian Jiaying. also said that I was jealous of their friendship, and second, I was jealous that Qian Jiaying was more handsome than me.

There is something wrong with the fat man's eyes, this Qian Jiaying is more handsome than me, isn't it a little taller than me, who asked my mother to give birth to me too short, who can blame me.

And the reason why the fat man will say that Qian Jiaying is my rival in love is because I used to go to a restaurant where the fat man and I often went to eat, and I had a very beautiful daughter, and when she saw me, she said that her son-in-law was here, and she pestered me every day. Later, the fat man and I took Qian Jiale to dinner together, and the daughter of the restaurant has been obsessed with Qian Jiale ever since. From then on, the fat man said: This is Jia Le is more attractive than you. Then I called Qian Jiale my rival.

When Qian Jiaying saw the fat man, she hugged the fat man very warmly, and then said to me, "Hi, brother."

Qian Jiaying was born abroad, his father is an overseas Chinese, his mother is an American, and later his father took them back to his homeland to live, so he often has an ABC tone, and his personality is as open and informal as a foreigner.

I can't get used to him relying on the family's money, often spending all day drinking and bringing bad fat people, so his attitude towards him has never been very friendly, and when I heard him greet me nondescriptly, I said to him angrily: "Speak human words." ”

Qian Jiale heard my unfriendly tone, and still said with a hippie smile: "Don't come to fake Sven, you still have this stinky temper." ”

I haven't repaid my mouth yet, but at this time, Fifth Master Zha came over with someone from the side and said happily, "The playboy is here." ”

"Playboy" is the nickname I gave Qian Jiale, which means that he is a playboy brother, he himself likes this nickname, saying that he doesn't like the title of "Fourth Master", so let everyone call him "Playboy", and the reputation is that he is a beautiful boy who looks like a flower, I really admire his self-feeling narcissistic behavior.

When the playboy saw the fifth master, he immediately complained: "Fifth master, you are so uninteresting, such an exciting and fun adventure, you didn't even notify me." ”

Zha Wuye smiled and said to the playboy: "I want to inform you, but the person who can't find you, who makes you play around every day and has no fixed place, it is more difficult to find you than to find a needle in a haystack." (To be continued......)
