The train I'm going to take has already begun to check in and enter the station, no way, the Spring Festival ticket is really hard to find, and it is impossible to change it to a ticket to Xi'an. I decided to go back to Zhengzhou first and discuss it with the scholar and Lao Xu.

As soon as dawn arrived in Zhengzhou, scholars and Lao Xu came to pick up the station. When I was on the way, I had already called them and told them about the time I had met the fourth master. Unexpectedly, the scholar and Lao Xu had the same judgment as me, Xi'an, a city with a professional capital of more than 1,000 years, should be the destination of Long Siye. Therefore, the two guys, scholar and Lao Xu, unanimously decided to set off for Xi'an immediately. That's good, I haven't left the station yet, and I'm in the station again. The things for the road have been prepared, and the scholar has already booked a ticket online. So, the three of them began their trip to Xi'an.

Although it was already after the Spring Festival in 2012, the train was still crowded, and a large number of migrant workers returning to the city were crowded in the aisle of the carriage carrying large bags and small bags. I, the scholar and Lao Xu sat together, drinking beer and chatting about the fourth master of Long.

The scholar said: "The fourth master is too unparticular, he said he would leave, but this suddenly appeared again, and he was chased by the police." You can't be a bad person, right? ”

Lao Xu said: "Scholar, can you be authentic?" How many times did the fourth master save you in that ancient tomb? ”

I also don't think Long Siye is a bad person, at least my gut thinks so. As for why the police chased him, I couldn't figure it out for a while, maybe it was a misunderstanding.

Speaking of which, our trip to Xi'an this time did not have any goals. It's just a whim, or the mood of desperately wanting to see the fourth master, so that the three of us blindly embark on this road of pursuit. I spread out the A4 paper I was carrying in my arms and showed it to Lao Xu and the scholars. They studied in a low voice for a long time, but they didn't have a clue. However, the three of us analyzed that this fourth master of the dragon went to Xi'an is not the final destination, and the messy lines, after arriving in Xi'an, he turned to many places. Xi'an should only be a transit place.

Lao Xu said: "Looking at the direction of this line, it should be three directions: Yunnan, Tibet and Xinjiang. ”

I thought so too: "I just don't know which direction it is." And... Moreover, these three places are very large, and there are many cities under their jurisdiction, and each city has many counties and villages. It's hard for us to guess where the fourth master is going. ”

The scholar said: "The Sprinkle family thinks you just think too much. Look, where did this note come from? The fourth master secretly stuffed it to Mr. Xia, right? Then when the fourth master has chasing soldiers in the back and Xia Nan in front, why do he secretly stuff it into Mr. Xia's pocket? ”

"What do you mean... Fourth Master Long deliberately told us where he went. I understood what the scholar meant, "That means..."

"That's right! Scholar, you're really not simple. We didn't think of this in a hurry. Since the fourth master intends to tell us where he is going, he will definitely wait for us in Xi'an or leave other clues. Lao Xu was also very excited.

Many things are like this, and the authorities are obsessed with bystanders. Although scholars are sometimes stunned and quite nonsensical, their hearts and eyes are very smart, and their minds are also alive. The fourth master should have intended to let us go to Xi'an. Well, he will definitely give us some tips in Xi'an.

It was already about 3 p.m. when I arrived in Xi'an. As soon as we got out of the station, the scholar pulled us to eat what mutton steamed buns, saying that the steamed buns we ate here were authentic. We didn't have much luggage, and we were carrying bags on our backs, planning to find a hotel to stay in first. Lao Xu was looking for a place to live with his mobile phone, I took out a cigarette and gave it to the scholar. About thirty meters away from me, there was a very suspicious person. Originally, I wouldn't have noticed him in so many people coming and going, but the man deliberately flashed back, which made me feel very special, so I paid attention to it. This glance is not in vain, the cigarette is not lit, and the scholar and Lao Xu are pulled away.

The scholar shouted: "Mr. Xia, you didn't take medicine in the morning!" Run a ball! Let go! The clothes of the Sprinkler family are going to be torn by you, I didn't find that you are okay with this. ”

"Don't fucking yell, shut up, and run. If you run slowly, you can stay and eat steamed buns every day! I ran in a hurry, and pulled two people who were not struggling, and I was out of breath for a while, "Scholar, Lao Xu run with me, there is someone behind his mother!" ”

Lao Xu asked me while running slowly: "Xia Nan, don't be busy, there is someone behind you." Are there still ghosts?"

"Yes, yes, there are ghosts! I see... I saw Atu! The girl is right in the back. "I'm sure the one who was sneaking at us at the exit of the train station just now was that dirty Ah Tu.

Hearing the word "Atu", Lao Xu and the scholar didn't say a word, they ran faster than me, and in the end, they pulled me to run.

We didn't have a goal or direction, we just ran out of the square in front of the station, people dodging and some cursing. Now I can't care about it, we have learned Atu's skills, although I don't know why he is in Xi'an, but he was caught, and there is absolutely no good fruit to eat.

Running like this is definitely not his opponent, and I am running as fast as I go, where to go, how to brush this plague god. Thinking about it, there is nothing to be done. I tried my best to take Lao Xu and the scholar to run around the corner, and the speed was not dominant, at least to make a fuss in the field of vision. It's the first time I've come to Xi'an, and I don't know the road at all, so I run wherever there are alleys and street corners. So going around like this, there are fewer and fewer people around, and when we are too tired to run, we find that we have entered a dead end.

The scholar panted angrily and said, "Mr. Xia, you are a pit sprinkler." Look at it, where the hell is there a way out? ”

I didn't know the road at all, and I was chased by that turtle boy, running like a lost dog, I was already on fire in my heart, and I was even more annoyed by the scholar's teasing, "Don't follow me, you're not from Beijing." If you have the ability, you can lead the way, or you will go to meet the Atuna boy. Don't you always blow something in front of me, 'you can splash ink into a painting, export into a chapter, and out with both swords and guns, fists and feet', you should go! ”

Lao Xu saw that my face was not good, so he hurriedly played a round: "I said brothers, don't fight here." Hurry up and think of a fold. That kid might catch up right away. ”

Before Lao Xu's words fell, a figure appeared at the entrance of the alley behind. I sighed in my heart, it's broken, I really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. It's really a narrow road, and it seems that you can only fight with Atu!

Although the scholar always quarrels with me, he has a good heart with me when he encounters serious things, and when he and I look at each other, we understand each other's thoughts. The scholar also silently rolled up his sleeves, planning to fight side by side with me, and fight with the girl.

The three of us put on a stance, just waiting for the kid at the mouth of the alley in the distance to come over, intending to go up together. Even if you are knocked out in an instant, you can't be a bad seed. During World War II, when the German fascists were approaching Moscow, a Soviet commander said well, "Although the Soviet Union is vast, we have no way to retreat, and Moscow is behind us!" "Today, our third brother also encountered this scene, although Xi'an City is not small, but we have no way back, because there is a fucking dead end behind us!

The three of us stood at the top of our corners, and from afar we saw the boy running towards us. It's false to say that I'm not afraid, after all, I've seen Atu's skills. Azusa has been taken away by him, and the three of us don't know anything, I don't know why this kid has been following us, although I don't know the reason, but I'm afraid the result won't be a good thing. I forced myself to stop thinking and focus.

The man was running very fast, and in the blink of an eye he was not far from us. When we saw each other clearly, the nerves that had been tense suddenly relaxed, and then tensed again. This person is not Ah Tu, he is the fourth master! It's really a mountain and a water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. The feeling of escaping death and the joy of reunion after a long absence rushed into my heart together.

I, the scholar and Lao Xu rushed over at once and surrounded the fourth master. I had a lot to say, but I suddenly lost my voice, and I didn't know what to use, so I shouted in a low voice, "Fourth Master!" ”

Fourth Master Long nodded, patted me on the shoulder, and only said, "Follow me!" ”

It was as if we had encountered a lifebuoy in the water, and we suddenly grabbed the life-saving straw, and our hearts suddenly became steady. The three of them silently followed the fourth master and walked back. I don't know if Ah Tu didn't catch up with us, or if he found out about the arrival of the fourth master, the road was calm, and there was no trace of the ghost clan at all.

The fourth master took me out of the alley, turned to a small street, and walked for about a few minutes before I saw a Rolls-Royce parked on the side of the road without a photo. The fourth master said "get in the car", opened the door and sat in the co-pilot's seat. I didn't speak to the scholar or Lao Xu, and sat in the back.

The driver was a young man, wearing sunglasses, he didn't even look at us, nodded to Long Siye, started the car and left. Although I had a lot of doubts in my mind, I knew that this was not the place to speak. Since the fourth master is here, what else is there to worry about, just listen to his arrangement.

The car drove very fast, going around the street, turning left and right, and in the end it was almost impossible to discern the direction. About half an hour later, the car stopped, and we came to a place. This area seems to be an urban village, with no high-rise buildings around, and all of them are neat old houses. Each house is made of blue bricks and gray tiles, with wooden doors and stone steps, exuding a quiet and mysterious atmosphere.

Lao Xu said: "I can't imagine that there is such a paradise in this metropolis. ”

The fourth master didn't speak, nodded to the driver, and led us straight to a house with an old-fashioned red lantern hanging in front of the door. I noticed that the red lantern had the words "Cao Zhai" written in black.

Pushing open the gray wooden door, after the porch, there is a stone paved road, the left and right sides of the road are planted with trees, the branches are luxuriant, it seems that the age of the trees is not short. On both sides of the courtyard are gray brick houses with a uniform style, and the whole building is in the style of a courtyard house in the shape of a "mouth". This Cao house looks very deep, and it is impossible to see how many people have entered the courtyard, and the courtyard is very deep. The fourth master walked in front, and me, the scholar and Lao Xu followed in the back. The surroundings were quiet, the sunlight was blocked by the lush branches and foliage of the trees, and the yard seemed more secluded and even a little gloomy.
