Da Mao's injury is no longer a big problem, the rest only need to continue to recuperate, hands and feet can move freely, so we set foot on the car to Chengdu on the afternoon of the second day after I burned the ghost city of Sanchuan, stayed in Chengdu for one night, and then returned to the mountain city.

At that time, communication was relatively underdeveloped, although many places were installed telephones, but most of them were in the people's communes, police stations and other places, and factories also had them, but telephones were not often used by ordinary people, so Da Mao and I left our hometown for a month, and our friends in our hometown had almost no news about us.

I am alone, and with the fact that I have done a lot of great things over the years, I am also a little famous in the industry, so my friends around me will still believe that even if I encounter danger, I know how to protect myself and know how to get out. But Da Mao is different, although the time of his debut is almost the same as mine, but Da Mao is young, and he has been under the protection of Mr. Wang Chengqian's wings for most of the years, and he is relatively low-key, so Mr. Wang Chengqian's reputation in the industry far overshadows Da Mao.

This also means that Da Mao has been away from home for a month, and the person who is most worried about him is Mr. Wang Chengqian. But when we returned to my hometown, I sent Da Mao home, and on the way I couldn't help but look at Da Mao, who was walking slowly beside me, when he came to me a month ago, he had just returned from the ghost city of Sanchuan, and was under house arrest for almost a month, and his mood and body were tormented, and when I saw him, he was a whole circle thinner than before. And Da Mao, who is walking beside me at this moment, is even thinner than when I left for Sanchuan Ghost City with him a month ago.

Da Mao, a young man in his twenties, was originally tall and sturdy, but at the moment he was sick, and even his cheeks were sunken. As a big brother, I still feel very distressed when I see him. Because a month ago, we didn't have to make more trouble, it was only because of Da Mao's sense of justice and my curiosity that we embarked on this journey, and when we set off, we didn't think that this trip would be so dangerous, and we almost took our lives into it.

It's not just Da Mao who took his life, but also myself, because I didn't expect that when I was investigating the Sanchuan Ghost Market, I would be involved in such a big conspiracy, even if I finally prevented the catastrophe from happening, but it also made me feel tired, and at the same time I was very embarrassed, I was so embarrassed that people could be so depressed that they could make a living by selling ghosts, and I sighed that when people's kindness was used, they would become irrational. In the course of a month, my beard had grown by nearly an inch, and it looked so discordant to the face of someone my age. Maybe I was noticed by Da Mao when I looked at Da Mao, he turned his head to look at me, and then smiled with relief, as if to say to me, you don't have to say it, you and I understand it in our hearts.

When I sent Da Mao to Mr. Wang Chengqian, Mr. Wang Chengqian seemed to see his long-lost son, so he pulled Da Mao to his side and hugged him in his arms, scolding you for how you have lost weight like this, you still have the face to come back, etc., but he couldn't help but cry. I stood aside silently, with mixed feelings in my heart, when I set off with Da Mao to Sanchuan Ghost City, in fact, it was acquiesced by Mr. Wang Chengqian, maybe he thought the same as me at the moment, experienced, only to know his own shallowness, only to understand the preciousness of the returnee.

But when Mr. Wang Chengqian saw the silly girl standing on the side with an innocent face, he couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and then turned his head to look at me, he probably thought that this girl was brought back by me. Because in our time, the marriage of men and women was relatively early, generally speaking, men and women in their twenties and sixteens had already become parents of their children, and people like me who were still singles in their thirties were either too poor to marry a daughter-in-law, or were physically disabled. And even those who are physically disabled, most of them will marry a dementia or a fool, or a person, and they can continue the incense.

So when Mr. Wang Chengqian looked at me with malicious but relieved eyes, I knew that he had misunderstood. In the past, I might have waved my hand to defend myself, but at this moment, I held back when the words came to my lips, and just smiled and shook my head at Wang Chengqian, which means that it is not what you imagined, and then raised my chin towards Da Mao, which means that you still ask your apprentice.

Mr. Wang Chengqian is a respected old-timer in our local industry, with strict family rules, since I knew Da Mao, I have always felt that Da Mao is a respectful to Mr. Wang Chengqian, and although Mr. Wang Chengqian often scolds, sometimes even punches and kicks, but he feels sorry for his apprentice from the bottom of his heart. So when Wang Chengqian scolded and cried while hugging Da Mao, Da Mao also cried silently. It's just that when I handed Mr. Wang Chengqian this look, he was still very surprised, walked around the silly girl, looked up and down, and then pulled Da Mao aside and asked, this girl's eyes are scattered, her eyes are blank, you take it home, do you say...?

Da Mao sighed first, then nodded firmly and said, Yes Master, this is the girl I like, I will bring her back, we will live together, I will marry her as a daughter-in-law.

This is probably the first time Da Mao has spoken to Wang Chengqian so confidently and resolutely. Although I feel in my heart that with Da Mao's character and craftsmanship, even if I can't find an intellectual girl to be my wife in the future, I can at least find a child in our industry, and it's no longer a big deal to marry an honest girl from the countryside as a wife, but emotion is so strange, sometimes after liking a person, in fact, I accept all of the other party, including good and bad, advantages and disadvantages, and even defects. Maybe it's because of my wandering life in the rivers and lakes over the years, I often don't know what will happen tomorrow before I go to sleep the first night, so I began to learn to do things that make me happy, because I am afraid that I will regret it tomorrow.

Mr. Wang Chengqian didn't understand that Da Mao had found a fool to be his daughter-in-law, but he was not embarrassed to attack in front of me, plus Da Mao lost a lot of weight, and he was so weak when he got home, probably Mr. Wang Chengqian thought that this matter could be discussed slowly, maybe after a while, Da Mao would change his mind or something.

That night, Wang Chengqian's master and apprentice took me in for dinner together, during the banquet Da Mao seemed to have endless words, and told Wang Chengqian about the things we have encountered these days, during which he kept boasting that this stupid girl is actually very good, we are in the rivers and lakes, although we are doing the man's money for people to eliminate disasters, but after all, there are only a few friends of life and death, although this stupid girl is not intellectually high, but people are very sincere, we gradually become less simple as we grow older, When I wanted to be more pure, I found that I couldn't get that feeling back. And the silly girl has maintained such emotions all her life, in the end, she is also the child of a hard-working family, her father and mother sold her for money, and let her go out to make a living by herself, I am afraid that she will die in a few days, she is saving her, and she is also saving herself.

At the end of the speech, Da Mao said with emotion, maybe this is the choice of fate, I don't want anyone except her.

After all, Mr. Wang Chengqian still loves his apprentice, although he has a whisper, but since Da Mao is so insistent, and also understands the truth so deeply, in the end Mr. Wang Chengqian still agreed, although this promise carries a trace of regret in his heart, but he himself knows that he can't take care of Da Mao for a lifetime, and when he is a hundred years later, he still needs someone to accompany Da Mao.

So at the end of that meal, looking at the deep master-apprentice relationship between Da Mao and Wang Chengqian, I couldn't help but drink silently, while thinking of the two masters before and after me, if they are still there, I mean any person, maybe at this moment we will also be like this general wine and talk, the pride of the rivers and lakes is never for others to see, but to let a few close friends, silently smile, push the cup and change the lamp, and then feel it quietly in my heart.

So that night, I drank too much again. When I woke up, it was already dawn, only to find that I was still lying on the wine table where I drank last night, and my last impression of that night was that Mr. Wang Chengqian patted me on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, Lin Qishan has accepted a good apprentice, and there is a successor, and his spirit in the sky can be relieved."

People are always easy to be emotional when they are drunk, so when Mr. Wang Chengqian suddenly mentioned Master's name when I was drunk, my brain was hot and I cried bitterly. Crying and crying, it was broken.

The marriage between Da Mao and the silly girl was seen by Wang Chengqian and arranged in the second month, because the silly girl has no identity, she can't even tell her name clearly, Wang Chengqian thinks that she doesn't have to verify her identity, anyway, this girl doesn't have to go to work, she just needs to help with chores at home, and give her a few candies when she is fine, which can be exchanged for her happiness all day, which is also good. So a month later, Da Mao and the silly girl held a wedding at home, without inviting any guests, only notifying a few old-timers in the industry as a witness. I was the youngest and the youngest in the group invited, so my seat was arranged at the end of the room, but I was still happy that day, because I felt happy to see the people I cared about happy.

It's just that the silly girl really lived up to expectations at the wedding that day, and she probably felt that this marriage was a troublesome thing, and she couldn't eat sugar for a long time, so she didn't care about the red clothes she was wearing on the bride, and she didn't care about the face that became more beautiful because of makeup, and sat on the ground in front of all the guests, crying and shouting for candy, so anxious that Da Mao coaxed while feeding sugar, which made everyone laugh, Da Mao's rest of his life, it is estimated that such days will occupy most of his time, Since he has chosen, let's go all the way silently, whether it is bitter or sweet, maybe only he knows in his heart.

And the second week after Da Mao's wedding, I locked the house again, left a letter to Da Mao in the crack of the door, and then I left my hometown and wandered everywhere.
