Chapter 17 But do good deeds, don't ask about the future

Wong Tai Sin, formerly known as Wong Sheung Yuan, a Miao people, once traveled northwest with Mr. Wang Chao'an 30 years ago to explore the relics of the Silk Road.

However, due to some kind of change, they eventually parted ways and stopped contacting each other.

What is the story of what happened here, Mr. Wang didn't want to say more, and I didn't dare to ask, I only knew a general range and area about the "Farewell Island".

In addition, he warned me not to mention his name in front of Wong Tai Sin, and not to say a word.

Because as long as I say it, it is very likely to bring me a bad experience.

After saying this, his face suddenly became very bad, and he couldn't stop yawning, I knew that his body was a little unbearable, and hurriedly said goodbye.

The old man, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and stopped me.

He said: "Hou Zi, no matter what, the night walker always goes against the sky, the road is bumpy, if you set off tomorrow, I am afraid that I will not be able to get up, so I will send you a word." ”

I bowed down and said, please.

Old Man Wang opened his mouth and slowly said eight big words: "But do good deeds, don't ask about the future." ”

When I heard it, I was shaken, and I felt empowered, and the pores of my whole body opened.

Then, with a long bow, I said, "Taught." ”

That night, I went to meet the two uncles, Li and Liu, and then chatted with Xiao Zhonghuang for a while before falling asleep.

I didn't say anything all night, and the next day I got up early, and after talking to Xiao Zhonghuang, I said goodbye and went down the mountain.

The mountain road was rugged and tortuous, and when I got to the bottom of the mountain, it was already more than ten o'clock, I rushed to the guest house where Chu Xiaotu lived, and from a distance, I saw her standing at the intersection, looking towards the way she came.

At that time, the sun was setting obliquely from the east, and the golden light fell on her beautiful face in the shape of a goose egg, and even from a long distance, I could feel the sweet smile on her face and the anticipation in her eyes.

This feeling of being expected made me suddenly have the illusion of a fluttering heart at a certain moment.

I was a little lost in myself, and almost subconsciously shook my head, putting aside all the distractions in my heart, and then took a deep breath, walked in front of Chu Xiaotu, and said, "Let's go." ”

Chu Xiaotu looked at me and said Where are you going?

I said go to Xiangxi.

She stared at me with bright eyes, and said excitedly, "Do you know where the Parting Island is?" ”

I hesitated for a moment, not telling the truth: "Probably, just follow me." ”

I walked towards the station, Chu Xiaotu followed me, and asked as he walked, "You can't lie to me, you know?" I didn't sleep well last night, there were mosquitoes buzzing around the room all the time, I hate it......"

I smiled wryly and said if I lied to you, why did I come to you?

The two chatted while walking, walked together, and took a car to the train station, preparing to go to Hecheng, the main road located in the land of Xiangxi.

Hecheng is located in the transition zone from the hills of central Hunan to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, since ancient times, it has been called "the gateway of Guizhou and Yunnan", "the throat of all Chu", and is the "bridgehead" of the central and eastern regions of China leading to the southwest.

Needless to say, the quarrel with Chu Xiaotu along the way was self-evident, and after getting off the train, I bought a map from a small shop near the train station and studied it carefully.

Then I went to the post office in the city and lingered for a long time in the place where mobile phones were sold.

However, I went home before, gave my mother 5,000, and lent 10,000 to Fa Xiaoer, plus the expenses of the past few days, I was already shy in my pocket, and I still didn't have the money to buy it after all.

Chu Xiaotu looked at my tangled expression and asked me, "Want to buy?" ”

I nodded, yes.

She was very strange, saying that in this hellish place, the signal is so bad that if you go a little further to the countryside, there will be no signal, why are you buying it?

I said buy an insurance policy.

Chu Xiaotu stared at me for a while, and then took out a small mobile phone from his pocket.

I stared at the phone for a long time before I said, "You have a mobile phone?" ”

Chu Xiaotu glanced at me and said nonsense, I don't have this thing, how can I communicate with my grandma?

I hesitated for a moment and said is there a phone bill in it?

Chu Xiaotu said of course.

I said to lend me a little, Chu Xiaotu didn't refuse, nodded and said okay, and then I took the phone and dialed Ma Yiao's mobile phone, but it still couldn't be connected.

This made me a little depressed, and I dialed it several times in a row, and it was the same.

When I returned the phone to Chu Xiaotu, she smiled, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said to me: "I told you, this thing is in the countryside, when the bricks are not hard enough, the person you call is probably squatting in that mountain nest." ”

I sighed and said okay, but let's take it, you remember to charge, don't drop the chain at a critical moment.

The two of them were walking around the city, and I found a small shop that specializes in casserole rice to eat.

The casserole rice in this house looks not big, greasy, but there are surprisingly many guests, we also queued for more than ten minutes, and when the things come up, some slightly pasty burnt pot and white rice, plus dotted sausages, and a few dishes of small stir-fry, are appetizing, appetite.

In order to take care of the vegetarian rabbit, I specially ordered two vegetarian dishes and a casserole rice without sausages for her.

She was very touched by this thoughtful gesture.

And Chu Xiaotu's way of repaying me was also very straightforward, and he ate six bowls of casserole rice in one go, which made the boss almost too busy.

I saw her gobbling up, and I couldn't help but say, "Slow down, like a hungry ghost reincarnated?" ”

Chu Xiaotu glared at me and said You don't know, I didn't eat last night The oil there is wrong, there is a smell of sewer, I vomit when I eat it, and my stomach is already growling.

I laughed and said it's okay, you follow me, I'm not afraid of running out of food.

Chu Xiaotu said How do you have such a study of eating, there are so many shops, so you chose this one, and the thief pulled it delicious.

I said, you don't know, I used to have a dream, which was to open a restaurant, so I was very strict about eating, and everywhere I went, I would go to the restaurant with the most local characteristics to eat, and then remember the taste, learn a lot, and think about whether I could make it.

Chu Xiaotu's eyes were full of confidence, and he said Wow, wouldn't it be delicious for you to cook?

I'm very proud, and yes, I have a chance for you to taste it, and I make sure you swallow it with your tongue.

Hearing my words, Chu Xiaotu was looking forward to it.

So she ate three more bowls.

In the evening, I pulled Chu Xiaotu, who had eaten and was shouting to eat again, and the two of them caught the last train to a county in the west, which was very tattered, and there was a strong smell of gasoline in the carriage, which was extremely dull, and then someone kept coughing in front, making me a little pale.

And Chu Xiaotu almost vomited because he ate too much at night.

At that time, the roads were not very good, the national highways were all in tatters, and they shook all the way, and at about ten o'clock in the evening, they finally came to a small town.

We got out of the car, Chu Xiaotu took a few steps, and the whole person couldn't do it, lying on the field not far away and vomiting.

I bought water on the way, and when she was almost vomiting, I walked over and patted her on the back, and then handed her the water to rinse her mouth.

Chu Xiaotu rinsed his mouth, reluctantly came back to his senses, and said to me, "Where are we going?" ”

I said to go to a place called Wrong Wood Village.

Chu Xiaotu asked again: "Then what are we going to do?" ”

I said to join up with a friend of mine.

"Does he know where the Parting Island is?"

"No, he doesn't know, but if you want to find Parting Island, you have to find him, otherwise no one will come in vain."

"What the hell do you mean? Can you make it clear before you act? I feel like a fool following you around. ”

"You don't have to come along."

"Fool, I knew that you bastard, from beginning to end, just wanted to get rid of me, hmph, it was not as good as you wanted."

……

The two men made a lot of noise, and did not enter the town, but walked along the road, turning in front of the hill in front of them, and began to walk along the path towards the mountain.

The scene at that time, until now I still remember the moonlight hanging high somewhere overhead, the white moonlight, sprinkled on the ground like water, Chu Xiaotu bit his lips, and then looked at me innocently, as if there was fog in his eyes, very aggrieved.

At that time, the moon was beautiful, and the people were beautiful.

I don't know why, I have an urge to follow this little noisy and a little lively girl, and keep going.

However, such beautiful feelings were finally defeated by the twists and turns of the mountain road.

The more you go into the mountains, the more rugged the road becomes, probably because of a burst of rain, at the beginning it was fine, the further back you go, the more muddy the mountain road becomes, sometimes you don't pay attention, you step on the mud puddle, and when you pull it out, your feet are full of mud, which makes people upset.

But this situation is only for me, deep in the mountains and forests, Chu Xiaotu is as dexterous as a monkey, walking up and down, every time he can bypass the mud puddle and walk on the grass.

I was leading the way at first, but then I had to let her go in front, and I followed behind.

We finally came to a village shrouded in night, and this village is very small, and there are only about a dozen families at a glance, and all of them are wooden houses and stilted buildings, all of which are very original.

I was a little excited, and I almost fell a few times when I was going downhill.

Then I went to the sixth house in the village, which I counted from below, and knocked on their doors.

Knock, knock, knock......

After knocking like this twice, a lazy voice came from inside: "Which one is it?" ”

I replied respectfully: "The eternal romance is here today, the fame of thousands of miles is not to be rested, the three mountains and five mountains become one fast, it is a friend to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and the junior Hou Mo, meet the predecessors of the alliance." ”
