Chapter 15 To Changbai Mountain
I waited for more than half an hour before I got in the car. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info for more than two hours, and finally arrived in Xudu. Everyone just watched the on-board TV in the bus along the way, and no one spoke. I got out of the car and found a shopping mall to buy clothes to change out of the uncomfortable protective clothing, and it was getting late, so I proposed to go to eat first and then stay in the hotel, so I found a restaurant to eat. While Changfeng was ordering, Xiang Chuchu finally couldn't help but quietly ask me, "Your brother is really angry?"
I also quietly told her that Changfeng hates others lying the most. Xiang Chuchu said loudly: "I didn't lie. ”
Changfeng, who was looking at the menu, frowned and looked up at us. Xiang Chuchu met his gaze and continued: "When did I lie? Did I introduce me to you that I am Gu Xiyan, you called it, I just didn't correct it." ”
Well, I remembered, it's really not fake, I introduced myself, and she just said that she was Changfeng's friend, this cunning little girl. Changfeng stiffened his face, ordered a good dish, and handed it to the waiter. Xiang Chuchu said angrily: "Xiao Changfeng, don't keep your face tight, it's ugly to death, I'm not wrong, it's you who didn't figure it out." ”
The guests at the table looked over one after another, I endured a stomachache on the side, it was so interesting, Changfeng had never met such a girl, I had to wait and see how Changfeng dealt with it. Finally, Changfeng calmly spoke: "Tomorrow we will go to the Northeast, you don't need to follow us, go home and work." ”
Xiang Chuchu said angrily: "If you want to drive me away, there is no way." Dad has already called me, I lost my job, and now I have nowhere to eat, you can do it. ”
I remembered that on the way back, she had received a call from her father, and she looked a little unhappy. Looks like we're causing her a problem. I felt a little guilty. So I wondered how to repay her when I went back, whether to give her a sum of money, or to help her arrange a job, how would she gladly accept it without feeling charity?
As soon as he saw the delicacy, Xiang Chuchu picked up his chopsticks as if nothing had happened at all, and while eating, he said: "You two eat quickly, oops, it's so delicious, my stomach is guilty of it at school for a while, and the ones made at home are not as delicious as this, it's really good, it's so delicious!" Changfeng and I looked at this girl who was still angry just now, but only a few minutes later, she could be instantly happy in front of eating, and she really had nothing to say.
I found a hotel to stay in, booked three tickets for the next day, and by noon, we were already in Changchun.
Liu Yunhai came to pick him up, and he looked like he was mixing well, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he also drove a BMW, I don't know if he borrowed it. As soon as they met, his bewildered little eyes kept looking at Xiang Chuchu. I stabbed him and quietly told him that this was Changfeng's friend, and Liu Yunhai was honest immediately, so he got down to business.
He told us that there was good news that his father had arranged for someone to find out about the 1966 case of Tang Shitong. At that time, Tang Shitong was arrested for homicide, because he was trapped in a hunter's trap when he fled to the mountains, and broke a leg, so he was arrested. He was sentenced to life and was released in 1984 because he had saved people and made meritorious contributions in prison.
According to the police who handled his release from prison at the time, someone picked him up after he came out, and later built a house for him in Tianchi County, and some local people would also look for him to see a doctor, but he was very strange, he would not be treated for incurable diseases, and now he lives with an adopted orphan. We are still very excited to hear this news.
After having lunch with Liu Yunhai, we hurriedly took a taxi to Tianchi County, where Tang Shitong was located. Liu Yunhai wanted to send us, but we declined. After all, there are some things that are not good for him to know. So he gave us a phone number and told us to find this man named Jin Peng, his father's old subordinate, who is now the deputy director of the local public security bureau, if we have trouble or need to do something.
It was almost evening when I arrived in Tianchi County, so I had to find a place to live first. We found a clean small restaurant not far from the hotel, and after eating, we walked slowly to the hotel. Xiang Chuchu finally found a topic: "Changfeng, do you say that the water monsters in Changbai Mountain will also be like the dragons in Longtan, let's buy a few sets of wetsuits and take a look." ”
I don't know if Tang Shitong's whereabouts made Changfeng feel better, or Changfeng also felt that Xiang Chuchu was a little guilty for losing the job he just found because of me, anyway, his attitude was much better, but in the face of Xiang Chuchu's proposal, Changfeng was still very helpless: "Can you use your brains, it's a tourist area, do you have a separate chance?" Besides, we are here to treat Mu Tian, not to explore the secret." ”
Xiang Chuchu made a grimace, and suddenly said, "When Mu Tian's illness is cured, let's go to open the stone gate together, okay?"
Changfeng looked at her steadily, and said, "I forgot to ask you, since we returned to the village that time, I have been busy with flood control, have you ever been to Longtan?"
Xiang Chuchu said in surprise: "If I want to go, I have to find you together." ”
Changfeng said: "Maybe you see that I am busy, so I will go by myself." ”
Xiang Chuchu hurriedly said: "It's impossible, I'm too lazy to go by myself, it's been raining for the past few days, and I'm not interested in going at all." I really didn't go, I wasn't lying. ”
Changfeng walked slowly, while looking up at the night sky, at this time the bright moon was already hanging high, the late summer wind was slightly cool, the first quarter moon was like a moon ship, quietly and warmly hanging in the air. Xiang Chuchu went to see it inexplicably, and after watching it for a long time, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?"
Changfeng said calmly: "I didn't see anything, I just felt that the moon was far away from us." ”
Xiang Chuchu was surprised: "This has nothing to do with what I said." ”
I patted her on the shoulder and said sympathetically, "Changfeng means that he doesn't bother to talk to you about this anymore." ”
Xiang Chuchu stomped his feet angrily and walked to the front. I smiled and glanced at Changfeng, under the moonlight, I saw the corners of his mouth raised, ho, Changfeng smiled. Because a woman smiled, for Changfeng, this is almost nothing!
Early in the morning, we bought some nutritional products, and then went to find Tang Shitong according to the address Liu Yunhai gave us - Ping'an Village. First of all, I went to the village committee of Ping'an Village, and there was only one staff member on duty, and he asked Tang Shitong in their village, he thought we were seeing a doctor, saying that the old man generally did not give people medical treatment, and there were quite a few people who came to him for medical treatment in the past few years, and in recent years, people may think that he is too old, and his temper is eccentric, so he does not come to him easily. But he enthusiastically led us to a fork in the road, pointing to a large tiled house with walls in the distance, saying that it was Tang Shitong's home. We thanked him and went down the mountain road.
The mountain road is not very narrow, and it is more than enough for two large trucks to pass side by side. It should have been repaired by someone, and the road surface is smooth, not much worse than a cement road. When they got closer, the large black-painted iron door was tightly closed. Left the taxi driver's phone number, and we got out of the car. After the taxi turned around and drove away, Changfeng stepped forward and grabbed the iron ring on the door, buckled the door a few times, and a young man's voice sounded loudly: "Now the old man is no longer seeing a doctor." ”
Changfeng said loudly: "We are not to see a doctor, we are entrusted by his younger brother to come to visit." ”
After a few minutes, the young man spoke: "The old man said that he has no younger brother, so don't bother. ”
Changfeng said: "His younger brother Tang Shiheng is in Liangshan, Sichuan, just because the road is far away, so he specially asked his apprentice to come to visit. ”
Xiang Chuchu pursed his lips disdainfully and whispered, "Don't blush when you lie, little liar, hum." ”
Changfeng ignored her, just looked up at the courtyard wall. I guess he thought that if that didn't work, he was ready to go over the wall. Luckily, after a few more minutes, the door opened and a young man in his twenties stood in front of us. He was of medium stature, peaceful-looking, and had a dark complexion, and at first glance he was a simple man. We followed him in and saw a little old man standing on the steps in front of the house, not at all like Tang Shiheng.
This is a short and fat little old man, full of red light, bald head, a pair of smiling little eyes under snow-white longevity eyebrows, holding a dark red dragon head cane, and a white silk practice uniform, which sets off the whole person neatly.
Changfeng glanced at Xiang Chuchu, Xiang Chuchu stepped forward knowingly, bent down and saluted: "Hello uncle, my name is Xiang Chuchu, family teacher Tang Shiheng, I just learned that your old man is here, and I specially ordered me to come to your old man's house to say goodbye." ”
The little old man smiled and said, "Please don't need it, Tang Shiheng accepts such a small apprentice, it's impossible, right? If you have anything, you might as well say it, you don't have to make such a big turn." In fact, I don't have a good relationship with Tang Shiheng, so maybe it's better not to mention him. ”
This old man said tongue twister, cunning enough, why don't you mention that you haven't opened the door for us, I muttered in my heart. Changfeng smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, don't get me wrong, she is really your brother's apprentice and was also your brother's patient. After a long time, your brother took her as an apprentice. Our brother is her friend, because my brother has a strange disease, so I found your brother, but unfortunately he can't be cured by the old man, saying that only you, Mr. Tang Er, can cure it today, so we came to you. When your brother heard that we were coming, he asked his apprentices to come with him to greet you. ”
The little old man smiled more and more: "What is my brother and your brother, you say tongue twisters, you confuse my old man, and you will be fooled by you, right, little liar." ”
I was dizzy, I wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, he was clairvoyant, he still whispered so far away, he could actually hear it! Changfeng was speechless, I don't know if he was shocked, or embarrassed. Xiang Chuchu hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi, you are a clairvoyant, hehe, I said that he was a little liar, not that he lied to you, but that my master heard that he had found you, so he wanted to come in person, but I was afraid that his body would not be able to bear it, so I said that I would come to see you for him first, my master is not as good as your body, looking at your red face, it seems that you are more than ten years younger than my master." ”
The little old man laughed: "You little girl is really good at talking, no matter what, you are also from all the way." It doesn't matter what our brothers can't see, as long as we know it's okay. He turned to look at me, but said to Changfeng: "Say, what is your brother's disease, see if I can cure it." ”
Changfeng told me about my situation, and Tang Shitong listened to it, his expression becoming more and more solemn. After Changfeng finished speaking, he walked towards me with his legs open, and then I saw that one of his legs was lame. He stood in front of me, looked and looked, and suddenly raised his arm and slammed it on the top of my head.
