Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Long Absent Land

The smoke man didn't enter the tea house, I knew that he didn't like crowded places, so he didn't force it, and walked into the tea house of the fifth master alone, and at a glance I saw that the fat man was sitting near a round table on the very edge, drinking tea, and at the same time flirting with the waitress, and he didn't notice my arrival at all.

I walked quickly to the fat man and patted him on the shoulder, but he was startled, and when I turned around and found that it was me, I said to me with a hippie smile: "Fake Sven, don't shoot at my back, be careful that I hurt you." ”

I glanced around, the fifth master is not in the store, today the tea house has begun to operate normally, there are many customers, the guys are very busy, but no one pays attention to us here, so I lowered my voice and said to the fat man: "The cigarette man is here, hurry up and follow me." ”

After hearing this, the fat man hurriedly stood up, and before he left the table, he put the melon seeds and peanuts on the table into a small convenience bag, and then turned around and followed me out. When the fat man saw the smoking man standing outside, he leisurely sipped the melon seeds in the small bag and greeted the smoking man enthusiastically.

I said to the fat man urgingly, "Go back quickly, grab your equipment and set off immediately." ”

The fat man looked at the cigarette man puzzled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?" The cigarette boy has just arrived, and it's not too late to rest for a while before setting off. You have to take a hot bath to soothe your muscles and bones, relieve fatigue, and then eat a big meal and stuff your stomach before going into the mountains. If you don't wait until you enter the deep mountains and dense forests, you won't know that you will be able to eat serious and delicious meals in the Year of the Monkey. ”

The smoke man's expression was still cold and said lightly, "I'm not tired." ”

I explained to the fat man, "Don't talk nonsense. There are others already waiting for us in Shandong, and we must leave now. ”

Although the smoke man didn't tell me what kind of person the partner I was waiting for, Tong Guò his anxious attitude. It can be deduced that those people are certainly not simple characters.

Back in the antique store of Yishiju, the fat man and I hurriedly entered the ancient mansion to get our luggage, the equipment for the next bucket had already been packed, I picked up the backpack and prepared to go. Suddenly thinking of the curtain aunt, I couldn't help but feel a burst of upset and headache, how to deal with this mysterious troublesome woman? Drive away. The fat man specified that he disagreed; Giving her money to send her away must have been in vain, she had been here before and refused to leave. Now it must be crying and making trouble, unwilling to compromise. There's an accident in the fifth master again, and I can't make trouble anymore, what should I do?

Just when I was worried, the fat man saw me standing still. Then he urged: "Lao Zheng." Why are you still standing stupidly? Let's go! ”

I replied nonchalantly, "I'm not worried about my family." ”

The fat man looked at me with an unreasonable expression and said, "With Huifang here, what are you worried about?" ”

When I heard the fat man mention Huifang, my mood became more and more depressed, and I was so depressed that I vomited blood. What I can't worry about the most is Huifang, a mysterious woman, who really can't communicate with the fat man's elm head. But there is no solution at the moment, and I thought: Huifang, a mysterious woman, is not Sun Wukong, and it is estimated that she will not be able to use any three-headed and six-armed demon methods, and it will not be too late to clean her up after I come back. In this way, the symbolic self-consolation was soothed. He picked up his luggage and walked out of the ancient mansion, and walked into the antique shop through the back door.

When the cigarette man saw us walk in, he immediately stood up. I said to him and the fat man, "You two go out and wait for me first, and I will explain the matter of the store to Huifang." ”

The cigarette man didn't say anything, he walked out with a step, and he didn't know if the fat man did it on purpose, or he didn't know how to look at his eyes at all, he reached out and dragged my clothes, pulled me out, and said as he walked: "What is there to explain, Huifang can handle the things in the store and at home by herself, you can rest assured that she will handle it, and there will be no problem." Do you say, Sister Huifang? After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Huifang with a smile.

I saw that the aunt of the curtain nodded without hesitation, but I had no choice but to say a word, and was helplessly pulled out of the store by the fat man.

I was full of anger, and I was very dissatisfied with the catharsis of the fat man and said: "You girl, let go of your hands, what kind of body is it to pull and pull on the street." ”

As a result, the fat man ignored my request, and put one arm around my neck and said, "What is there to be ashamed of an old husband and wife?" ”

I took a sip and said, "Don't be disgusted with me, I can't afford to be like you." ”

The fat man laughed very shamelessly, who knows how he could be in such a good mood? I'm worried about a lot of things now, and I'm very depressed.

The cigarette man hired a van in advance out of nowhere, put our luggage in the car, and got into the car one after another. The minivan began to drive bumpily towards Shandong, and I was happy to see the route, so I asked the smoker, "Are we going to Linyi Chen Jiaguan?" ”

After listening to me, the smoke man's eyes lit up and asked me, "Have you been there?" ”

I nodded and said, "In the past, Yishiju took over a job of collecting ghosts, and it was in a remote mountain village called "Chenyu Village" within the boundaries of Chen's official land, and I used to live there for a while, and I was very impressed. ”

The fat man sneered and pursed his lips, and said, "It's really nice to say, what have you lived for a while, obviously you were injured and forced to stay there for a while." caught a mouse, and as a result, I almost lost my life, and I was ashamed to say it. ”

I glared at the fat man and said, "Isn't it uncomfortable if you don't squeeze me?" ”

The fat man said shamelessly: "Squeezing you is the greatest pleasure of my life." After saying that, I laughed happily, completely ignoring my feelings.

I'm not in the mood to talk to him now, so I have to pretend to close my eyes and think about some problems about this time I went into the mountain.

After a long time, the car jolted violently. I opened my eyes suddenly, only to realize that I had fallen asleep, and by this time, the car had unknowingly driven into a rugged and winding mountain road. Looking out the window, the car had already traveled deep into the mountains, and there were no people around except for the distant mountains and near trees.

The cigarette man looked out the car window and said, "I'm ready to get out of the car, it's almost there." ”

The fat man sat in the seat and moved his buttocks. He muttered, "If you don't get anywhere, your body will fall apart." ”

As the car turned again, I saw a clearing not far from the side. There were several tents in the camp, and there were quite a few figures swaying in the bustle.

The car squeaked and stopped, and the cigarette man beckoned to the two of us, "It's here, get out of the car." ”

The fat man and I got out of the car with our backpacks and followed the cigarette man in the direction of the tent.

The people in the camp probably noticed a car approaching long ago. Several people had already approached us from a distance, and I saw a boy about seventeen or eighteen years old, who was far away and began to smile and wave at us.

The fat man was very dissatisfied and said to me, "It's such a dangerous thing to fight backwards. Why do you still have a child, this adult can't be long-hearted. ”

I whispered to the fat man: "Don't underestimate people, the people that the cigarette boy is looking for are probably not good at stubble." You'd better keep your mouth shut. Cause less trouble. ”

When the fat man heard my words, he snorted with his nose, which was regarded as a promise.

We were greeted by three people, in front of whom was a middle-aged man, dark and thin, who looked like a farmer, and the other who looked almost no different from him, and it was estimated that the two were twins. The two were followed by the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. To be honest, I don't see anything special about this boy. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a useless oil bottle, how could the cigarette man recruit him?

The smoke man briefly introduced us to each other, these two middle-aged men are the initiators of this inverted fight, the two are the two brothers surnamed Liu, one of them has a matchmaker on his face is Liu Da, and the boy who followed them is their own nephew, and they don't know how to fight, but they have nothing to do with it to see the world. When I heard this, I said, "Isn't this a mess!" Inverted bucket is a matter of life, and it is not a temple fair to see the lanterns, what is there to see and appreciate, and there is no such play when you die, why did the smoke man agree to this reckless behavior? I couldn't help but glance at the cigarette man with some suspicion, and he obviously didn't care, as if other people's lives and deaths had nothing to do with him.

Seeing the formation of more than a dozen people with the Liu brothers as their heads, I finally understood that this inverted fight, the smoke man and the three of us, were undoubtedly the followers who came to make up the numbers. With the personality of the cigarette man who doesn't love money, he must have negotiated the conditions with the other party, which means that we only need to go down to find a medical book, not to go to the inner ming. I thought to myself: It's better not to let the fat man know about this, otherwise with his temper, Zhun Bao will blow up the temple and have to cause trouble.

Most of the others in the camp were busy cooking, except for a very thin young man, sitting quietly under a tree, his face looking very sad and lonely.

When the meal was ready, everyone began to gather around one after another to say hello, and then they began to eat. And the young man sitting under the tree, still quietly watching the breeze blow the treetops, his expression was like a deep resentful woman who was sad and sad.

The fat man also noticed the man with a complaining expression, and asked the person next to him in a puzzled and curious voice: "What's wrong with the little brother sitting under the tree, why don't you come to dinner?" ”

Sitting next to the fat man was a man in his forties and fifties, who stroked the mustache above his lips with one hand, and then pointed to his head with the other hand and said, "He's sick here, don't pay attention to him." After speaking, he introduced himself with a smile and said, "It's good if you call me Jiang Ye." ”

The fat man replied without thinking about it: "You can call me fat man." ”

I heard the conversation between the two of them, and I almost didn't laugh out loud, this fat guy eats everything, but he refuses to suffer, who can take advantage of him?

The middle-aged man who claimed to be Jiang Ye smiled, but he didn't make a sound, I could see from his fake smile that he was not a good thing, he looked like he was hiding a knife in his smile, and he was obviously very resentful. I can't help but complain in my heart, the fat man, a stupid man, has offended people when he first came, and he is not afraid that people will give him small shoes to wear.

And just as everyone was talking and laughing and eating, the emaciated young man who was sitting quietly under the tree suddenly jumped up and shouted angrily: "You bastards, why don't you call me when you eat?" After saying that, he ran over, squeezed a seat next to me, sat down, began to desperately stuff food into his mouth, and then said vaguely: "You bastards, don't ask me to eat, be careful to choke you to death." As a result, he choked himself because he ate too much, and kept beating his chest vigorously, which made the people next to him laugh more than once.

The fat man secretly exchanged glances with me on the side, frowning as if to say, "This guy is mentally ill, right?" ”

I also think so in my heart, this young man's behavior seems to be very abnormal, just now melancholy looks like an abandoned newlywed daughter-in-law, quiet like a "husband stone", the result is to change his face faster than turning a book, and suddenly become crazy like a drunk, while the other bystanders are all looking strange, are laughing disapprerovitously.

Looking at this group of somewhat inexplicable people, I felt that there were some elusive things in these strangers, which were not in me and the fat man, and I couldn't help but be a little wary of them. (To be continued......)
