Chapter 9 Chapter 8 River City Water Village

Waking up again, the surroundings were pitch black.My head hurt so badly, I shook my head, covered my temples with my hands and got up slowly.I struggle to recall what happened.I just remember that I was looking for the big golden tooth on Yangshan, and then I met a man-eating beast with faceless and long claws, and what happened afterwards, I really can't recall.I wanted to stand up and grab the fence next to me with my arms for support, but I didn't want my head to hit a hard object suddenly.The pain made me shrink back instinctively, but I didn't expect that my buttocks followed, and my whole body suddenly lost my center of gravity and fell down.At this time, a bright light came in suddenly, I covered my eyes and reacted for a while, only to see a figure smiled at me outside, and then said: "Old Hu, if you don't wake up again, we will go to the hospital when we are ready." buried."

At first, I thought it was fat.After thinking about it for a moment, regardless of whether the voice is right or wrong, it seems impossible that this small body is that bear boy.At this time, another violent shaking came from below me.The guy twisted his feet and fell in, almost crushing Lao Tzu to death.I looked at the face in front of me, and cursed: "Four eyes, you are so busy! What kind of place is this?" Lawyer Qin lifted up my trouser legs with a half-smile, pointed to the bandaged wound and asked, "Forgot? You passed out from the pain, and you were in Yangshan?" I nodded: "What happened later? Where is this place?"

Qin Siyan stretched out his hand and pulled it, and the black cloth curtain hanging in front of us fell down.The lush green mountain terraces suddenly came into my eyes.Only then did I realize that we are now in a simple carriage, led by two tall horses, and are advancing on the mountain road.I was wondering how I got to the outskirts, when a big tiger cat slowly jumped off the horse and jumped into the carriage.I recognized that this was Lin Kui's little tiger, and wondered why he was there.Sure enough, there was a burst of horseshoes from far to near, and Dr. Lin's face quickly came in from the car window.He smiled and arched the hand holding the rein: "Master Hu has been asleep for two days. I miss him so much."

I was confused by these two, but fortunately, the four eyes are more interesting. He pointed to the outside of the car and said: "We have already entered Yunnan. You have been sleeping for almost a week. I said I wanted to find Shirley Yang and the others. I was planning to wait until you recovered from your injury before going on the road, but the investigation in Nanjing is getting tighter and tighter. There is a batch of medical supplies here, which are going to be sent to Yunnan to support the construction of impoverished areas, and we happened to take a ride with the wind to get out. The carriage that was just changed this morning is still half a day away from Jiangcheng."

Unexpectedly, so many accidents happened while I was in a coma, so I hurriedly asked him about the whereabouts of A Song and Da Jinya.These two unlucky ones, the big golden tooth was crushed by the boulder and broke their ribs. If they seek medical treatment in time, their lives should not be in danger. However, the thatched cottage boy, Asong, disappeared from our eyes, I'm afraid... his eyes tightened corner of his mouth, he glanced at Lin Kui and stopped talking.Dr. Lin smiled at me and said, "Everyone's fate is different, Mr. Hu doesn't need to worry about him. The store has already sent people to look for it. If it really disappears, I can only blame him for being cheap."

"You can't say that. Brother Asong, if it wasn't for helping us find someone, how could he be in such trouble. If something happens to him, the responsibility is naturally mine." In my life, I hate people who preach the fate theory of high and low. When I saw Lin Kui commenting on Ah Song like this, I felt very uncomfortable.Originally, he planned to give him a good education and correct his pedantic feudal concept of big family, but he was caught by his four eyes.He advised me that we are not familiar with the place, and we haven't even seen the shadow of Fatty and the others. If we fight against the Lin family, it will not do us any good.

I knew that what he said was true, after all, it was the Lin family who killed the people themselves, maybe Lin Kui just kept a grudge in his heart and deliberately blocked me with this talk.I took a deep breath, decided to change the subject, and casually asked about our current location.Dr. Lin replied: "I unloaded a batch of goods in Kunming yesterday, and now I am going to Jiangcheng. Further down is the Miao District, and it is not convenient for Han people to enter near Fuxian Lake. Jiangcheng is the last mixed settlement before entering the Miao. , I can only send it so far.” Four eyes took over the conversation: "We inquired about Shirley Yang's whereabouts when we were in Kunming. She used Wuhe purse to leave messages in all major pharmacies, saying that the fat man was impatient and couldn't wait for us. The two of them had already set off to visit the old man in Jiangcheng. Senior, this is a message from two days ago, the master who drove the car said that we will be able to reach Jiangcheng before dark, and we will be able to join them in a short time."

I thought back to the master of tricks that Second Master Xue talked about back then. I only knew that this person was from the Miao family. It seemed that he was thrown out of the Miao village because he offended the local dignitaries with an unsolved unsolved case.This man was born in the generation of Second Master Xue and others, because he was born with a pair of blind eyes with white and no pearls, so people on the road called him "the white-eyed man." Second Master Xue has been away from China for many years. Weng is still alive, currently living in seclusion near Fuxian Lake.That's why we asked a few of us to investigate on our own. Although we may not be able to find out the identity of the mysterious old man, but with Baiyanweng's knowledge of voodoo, we can definitely provide us with more clues.Although I encountered many difficulties in Nanjing, since I have entered Yunnan, I can no longer be depressed.I took a sigh of relief for myself.The four eyes could see that I was depressed, and comforted me: "It's not all bad things that happened in the past two days. At least the big gold tooth is safe now, and we also have evidence of buying and selling jade. I have asked my colleagues in China to draft this matter. After everything is done After the arrangement is made, let's go back to reverse the case. Right now we can't be in a hurry, we have to walk step by step, and we have to eat every bite. You and I both know that there is an inside story behind the matter, unless the fox doesn't eat chicken, it will show its tail sooner or later."

I didn't expect that after returning to the country, the Chinese level of the four eyes would make such a leap, and I even learned metaphors.I was instantly amused.I said that after sleeping for so long, my body is rusted, so I have to practice quickly, get up and stop the driver, and get on the horse by myself.Lin Kui on the side hurriedly told me to be careful, saying that the carriage behind was full of high-grade medicinal materials.I said that when we jumped into the queue and drove horses and grass to the production team every day, we were skilled workers.Looking at the vast world around me, and breathing the fresh air in the mountains, I was full of energy all of a sudden, I shook my bones that hadn't been moved for nearly a week, and with a wave of the horsewhip, I jumped out.The sky is high and the earth is wide enough for me to fly, and I feel very comfortable. It didn't take me long to hear Lin Kui shouting eagerly, and the mountain wind rang in my ears: "Master Hu, you ran backwards, there is a cliff over there!"

In the land of many hills, valleys and gullies in Dianchi Lake, even in today's reform and opening up, there are still many places in the local area that cannot be reached by human footprints.Not to mention the distance, take Jiangcheng, the destination of our trip, as an example, cars, buses and other means of transportation can't get in anyway.The folk customs here still maintain the natural features of a hundred years ago. The goods are all carried by the caravans along the border, carried by horses and mules, and brought in from outside on the mountain road hundreds of miles away.If you are afraid that the mountain road will be dangerous, there is another way, that is to take the water route, starting from Chengjiang, passing Fuxian Lake, you can enter the waters of Jiangcheng.However, I heard from the master who drove the car that taking the water route was a waste of time, and secondly, there were many appalling folklore around Fuxian Lake.Therefore, most of the time, for the sake of insurance, businessmen from all over the world still prefer to hire the "horse legs" of caravans to transport goods.As for the big shops like the Lin family who have their own cavalry, it's another matter.

Along the way, the three of us discussed a rough plan of action.Lin Kui said that the Jiangcheng area is full of fish and dragons, and there are many vendors in the past. It is not difficult to find people in this place, especially foreigners with obvious characteristics like Fatty and Shirley Yang. heard about it.It stands to reason that this person has a lot of background, if he is really in Jiangcheng, then his name must have already reached the sky.From this point of view, this person is probably not a permanent resident of Jiangcheng. "The most terrible thing is that he lives in the Miao District." Lin Kui explained, "After passing Jiangcheng to the east, there is the Fuxian Lake area, which is the territory of the Miao people, and it is difficult for outsiders to penetrate in. If the old man you are looking for lives there...my cavalry team will not be able to enter. " I said, "Why are there places in the world that Dr. Lin can't go to? Don't your thatched cottages often transport medicine to the Miao area?" "If you want to enter the Fuxian Lake area, you can only hire a professional caravan to lead the way. They have been here all year round. There are Miao people, Han people, and other ethnic minorities in the caravan. Residents are relatively less wary of them, and the scarce life The supplies are all delivered by them in exchange for goods, so in the multi-ethnic Fuxian Lake area, the major caravans are the real uncrowned kings. Even our Lin family, if we want to exchange Baiyao from the Miao people, we have to go through the caravans Trade and let them take a cut of it." As soon as I heard it was so troublesome, I asked Lin Kui if he had any familiar caravans.He said yes, but they run business outside all the year round, Jiangcheng is just a small stronghold, and it depends on luck whether they can come across it.Qin Siyan always likes to pave the way ahead before moving on. When he hears that the situation may be different from what he imagined, he starts to mutter again, asking this and that like an old mother.I said that the horoscope has not been written yet, what are you worried about, barrister, maybe Shirley Yang and the others have already found someone, and now Jiangcheng is missing one of the three, wait for us to go over and play a game!We may not need to go deep into Fuxian Lake at all.Unexpectedly, he said in a vow: "I have been with you for so long, I have figured it out a long time ago. As long as I have something to do with you, Lao Hu, things are not easy, only trouble." I wanted to refute his groundless reactionary arguments, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was exactly what he said along the way.I couldn't help being depressed, and hoped that this trip to Jiangcheng would be completed in one step, and nothing would go wrong again. That night we entered the Jiangcheng Water Village. This place in Yunnan has many mountains and wide waters, and the scenery is first-class.Although Jiangcheng is a city in name, it is actually a water village with a permanent population of less than 10,000.This place is low-lying and surrounded by water. The waterways and bridge yards in the village are several times more than the dry roads. The central waterway, Shibawan, is especially famous, also known as "Quomawan". When our carriage arrived here, we had to stay at the station outside the city Among them, the goods are all changed to ship.In the local dialect, it is called "the road has no mules and horses, and the sky flies in the water", which means that there is no future in Jiangcheng Walled by land. As long as you enter the water, you can even go to the sky.Although it is a bit exaggerated, as long as you have seen the prosperous local waterway culture with your own eyes, you can understand that this statement is absolutely true. The local gentry heard that the young master of the Lin Family Cottage delivered the goods in person, and they had already prepared the fragrance boats to meet them at the water inlet of Shiba Bay.We followed Lin Kui and were hugged by a large group of people and boarded the slick dragon-headed incense boat. We were really taken aback.Dr. Lin, who dares to be in love, still has a lot of status in the eyes of the minority people. It's just me and Siyan who gossip behind others' backs every day. This dragon-headed incense boat is nearly ten meters long, divided into upper and lower floors, and three large cabins. It is said that it is a magic weapon that can only be sacrificed when welcoming distinguished guests in the village.Although it was evening, the lights on the river were bright, and the densely packed merchant ships on the water almost filled the river.Standing at the bow of the boat, I saw a few dozen small shops coming along the shore. Compared with the prosperous water fairs, they were pitifully shabby.It can be seen that the water culture of Jiangcheng is by no means in vain. Lin Kui "invited" the old and young members of the chamber of commerce who greeted us out early, and occupied the treasure ship alone, saying that he would accompany the distinguished guests to visit the scenery here.As a result, everyone stared sideways at Siyan and me, trying to guess our identities.I said, how can you deceive the feelings of the masses as a doctor.But Lin Kui said: "The mountain wind is simple, and the people of Jiangcheng are famous for their hospitality. You didn't see the Fenjiu at the stern of the boat, enough to kill people. If we don't scare them, how can we get away so easily." Only then did I notice that the tail cabin was full of wine jars, and I quickly thanked Lin Kui.Siyan had never seen such a lively floating market, and seemed to have forgotten the purpose of this trip, and only cared about bargaining with vendors on other boats, buying a bunch of handicrafts that were not needed. "It's the peak time of evening market now. Our boat is too eye-catching, and we can't even drive it. Let's have dinner first. Later, I will rent a small boat to dock. I will take you to the stilted building to inquire about Shirley Yang's information." The stilted building in the water village is equivalent to our teahouse, where guests from all over the world gather, and it is the place where news circulates the most in Jiangcheng.It is not an exaggeration to say that as long as you dare to walk around inside, even the newspaper sellers in the city will know how many acres of land you have in your hometown the next day.So going upstairs to inquire about news is the most convenient choice.We ate the bacon cooked by the grandmother on the water, and cooked a pot of Fen wine with the small stove on the boat. At the end of the moon, the stilted building was lit with red lanterns for opening, and then we found a small black-topped boat to go ashore. . I don't know if it's the shadow left in the South China Sea. I was restless when I was on the boat, and I didn't feel a sense of security until I stepped on the shore.The road in Jiangcheng Water Village is narrower than the river, and most of the stilted buildings along the bank are half-standing in the water.The empty water area downstairs can be used for resting boats or opening shops.Even in the southern region known as the water town, such a scene is rarely seen.Lin Kui introduced that the road we are taking now is South Street in Jiangcheng.Going forward, after a section of stone steps, it is Dongda Street.There are merchants on the South Street and people living on the East Street, but most people are still used to living on the water.And the stilted building we are going to enter soon, hung with bronzing tassels and red lanterns, is the largest wine shop in the local area.There is no signboard on the wine shop, but as long as the word "Diaojiaolou" is mentioned in the local area, it must refer to this place. I looked at the passers-by along the way, most of them were dressed in black clothes and blue trousers, and some of them carried wild products on their shoulders. At a glance, I knew that hunters from ethnic minorities had come to the city to exchange money.There are also Han Chinese who share the same path as us. We are all in a foreign land. Even if we don’t know each other far away, we can’t help but feel a sense of intimacy, and they all smile back from afar.Lin Kui pulled the two of us together and said, "Don't be so sentimental there. There are many cheaters here. In Jiangcheng, there are not hundreds of Han Chinese who die every year, but dozens." I was taken aback and asked him how this happened.Lin Kui said: "Where there are people, there are contradictions. Here the sky is high and the emperor is far away. If there are a few people missing, who will care. Kill people and rob money, or just to vent their anger. Lie to the dark place, wipe your neck, Throw it into the water again, genius knows. You, dressed as tourists, are the easiest targets for others to attack. When you get on the stilted building later, don't look around." Qin Siyan was stunned when he heard that, he probably didn't expect that such a place with such a pleasant scenery would actually have such a murderous and exorbitant business, and it would be regarded as a common thing.He immediately followed me and didn't say much.I looked up at the big red lanterns in front of the stilted building, and for some reason, I became nervous.Young Master Lin laughed, and led the two of us to step on the bamboo ladder with ease. Hearing the "creaking" sound under our feet, and seeing the constantly moving heads all over the building, I suddenly had a premonition that this journey might It will be more difficult than imagined. The No. 1 stilted building in Jiangcheng, which Lin Kui talked about, can't be seen from a distance, but if you really enter its gate, you will understand what it means to be "No. 1". Fainted to death, my good fellow, the shop of 100 square meters is filled with big red lacquered tables, and every table is full of guests.In the mountains, they are no more polite than those in the city. Everyone is drinking red-faced, and many people have already been naked from the upper body, holding thick porcelain bowls in their hands, and pouring wine is no different from pouring white water. For a while, my eyes were full of heads, and I didn't know where to look.Four eyes asked: "With so many people, won't the building collapse?" Before Lin Kui could answer, a strong man who walked by us said, "Why didn't it collapse? It has collapsed twice this year alone. Hahaha, they all fell into the water. I don't know how lively it is." After speaking, he took the wine jar and ran away.I think there are probably some drunk lunatics here, so I can't help but take a skeptical attitude towards the investigation of the news.After Qin Siyan experienced the fight in the Peruvian bar, he was very taboo about this kind of scene, and kept lingering at the door of the bamboo building.I looked at the crowd inside and out, but I didn't seem to find any useful information.Lin Kui slapped us both: "What's the use of looking stupidly, you have to look deeply at the problem." After speaking, he led us into the crowd. As soon as he entered the human wall, he heard the voices of people inside, and cheers came from time to time. Looking carefully, he was a thin old man in a long coat and a blue shirt, sitting cross-legged on a big red table, talking non-stop.He wore a straw hat on his head, so he couldn't see his face clearly. He shook his head and talked lively, and the audience applauded him from time to time.After listening to him for a long time, I didn't understand what he was saying, but I only knew that what he spoke was definitely not Mandarin.Lin Kui was not surprised, and explained that the old man was from a Miao village, and he often walked around several nearby villages, making a living by telling stories.He spoke the local dialect, about the monster fox that happened near Miaodi, so it's not surprising that we couldn't understand it.Although I don't understand which legend the old man is talking about, but seeing the high emotions of the audience, it seems that the story must be extremely exciting, and thinking that since the old man has been traveling all the year round, he must have quite a lot of knowledge, so I have a good opinion of Lin. Kui said, can you ask him to ask some questions on his behalf. Lin Kui asked me if I wanted to check the whereabouts of Bai Yanweng.I shook my head: "It's about the man-eating beasts on Yangshan Mountain. To be honest, I have seen a lot of strange things and monsters, but this trip down Yangshan Mountain, I really have too many doubts. Don't say anything else, it's just a cake face , with only a big mouth, no eyes and nose, it is a rare anecdote in the world. I heard that this old man is talking about ghosts and strange tales, so I would like to ask for advice to see if there is any solution.” Lin Kui recruited the waiter in the store and whispered to me, and then said to me: "Old man Guo's jokes are the signature here, and they are going to a hot place now, so we can't stop. Let's go upstairs and wait in the private room, he will come up later." I knew it was taking advantage of Young Master Lin, so I quickly thanked him, called four eyes, and followed Lin Kui to the second floor.Different from the hustle and bustle downstairs, the private room on the second floor is much more deserted. Xiao Zhao, the waiter leading the way, said: "Not all the businessmen who come and go are rough people in the mountains. Our private rooms here are all the elegant people looking at the moon. Home. You see, the meal has not arrived yet, and most of it has already been booked out." Xiao Zhao took us into one of the private rooms and poured tea very graciously.I asked him if a thick-skinned fat man had been here with a pretty girl recently.He recalled it and said: "Oh, there are hundreds of people coming and going here every day. I really can't remember the two you mentioned. If you can explain in more detail, I will ask someone ask?" I told him their names again, and Xiao Zhao patted his chest: "With names, everything will be easy. The three of you sit here for a while, and I will come whenever I go." As soon as he left, he looked around and said, "Why are there still child laborers here? The little waiter just now looks like he's not even fifteen years old." Lin Kui took a sip of fragrant tea: "Work-study program, his mother left early, my father went to the mountains to collect medicine last year, broke his legs, and now he is lying at home, a useless person. There are two younger sisters to support. In Jiangcheng In this place, most children learn two characters, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and then come out to help their parents set up stalls to earn money, which is nothing unusual." Siyan expressed his incomprehension to this, and Lin Kui waved his hand: "Jiangcheng is not bad here, and the Miao Village further away is closed to people all the year round, and the aborigines there can't even read big characters. So what, it's not a lifetime It’s over. I heard that the local chieftain is still in charge, and the people are living a hard life before liberation. I still say that, everyone lives in peace, and it’s useless to say more.” When Attorney Qin heard this, he became stubborn again, and grabbed Lin Kui and said that he had to "study" academic issues carefully.The two of them usually seem to be extremely gentle and gentle, but as long as they argue about who is right and who is wrong, it is like taking rat poison.I had no choice but to open the door of the private room and go out to breathe. I squatted in a corner of the aisle, thinking about how to find the whereabouts of Fatty and the others.When I went ashore, I had inquired about it. Jiangcheng is different from Kunming. It is a multi-ethnic mixed water village. Except for the township office set up by the government, other public facilities basically retain the self-supporting and self-sufficient business model of local residents.That is to say, the medical shops here will not pay attention to the brand of Five Cranes Overlooking the Sky at all.Then how can Shirley Yang and the others leave me a message?In case there is no news from Xiao Zhao, what should be the next step? Just as I was thinking about it, the bamboo building under my feet suddenly began to shake rhythmically. Soon, Xiao Zhao's voice came along with the footsteps climbing the building. Come.I thought to myself, this kid can do it, he actually brought someone here in just one cigarette?Busily stubbed out the cigarette butt, ready to stand up from the corner.But before he lifted his foot, he heard a rather familiar voice. "This business is all dependent on you guys. Today, I, Mr. Yang, will be the host. Come, come, come..." I was startled, the voice was thick and high, with a strong southern Hokkien accent.Adding the words "Second Brother Yang", I sneaked a glance through the gaps in the bamboo.Sure enough, it was Yang Erpi, the head of the Cao Gang who was tall and strong and wearing a mink hat.This old thing has never appeared on the land of Nanjing since the collection of the Tiger Eye Pearl. Unexpectedly, today I ran into it in Jiangcheng, Yunnan, which is thousands of miles away.I don't have a good impression of this person, and I feel that there is no need to go up to say hello.I took another look, and the guests following him, a man and a woman, were all dressed in the Miao family.The man had a murderous look on his face, and he looked to be in his forties; the woman was a little younger, with an ordinary appearance, and she wouldn't attract attention if she fell into a crowd.These two don't seem to have any business dealings with Yang Erpi anyway, why is this old guy so defiant and respectful to these two Miao family children.Although I was a little curious, after another thought, I had already had enough troubles, why bother to provoke him, one thing more is worse than one thing less, I just pretended I didn't see it. While they were exchanging pleasantries, I slipped into my private room, Siyan and Lin Kui seemed to have finished their "research", each occupied a corner, and no one answered the other.I had no choice but to smooth things over and tell them Xiao Zhao had returned.Maybe the whereabouts of Fatty and Shirley Yang will be found soon. Just as I was talking, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, Xiao Zhao poked his head in with a smile, I waved at him, Xiao Zhao immediately ran in: "I found it, I found it. Let me just say, there is nothing in Jiangcheng that I can't find out about. Hehe." Xiao Zhao said that two days ago, a woman with a foreign name and a big fat man came to Diaojiaolou, looking for someone to guide them into the Miao village, and the price was very high.However, in the boundary of Jiangcheng, apart from the local Miao people, the only ones who could enter the Miao area were caravans who brought goods on horseback.They were going to the unlucky place of Fuxian Lake, so no one was willing to lead the way.When I heard what he said, I knew that things were exactly as Lin Kui had speculated, that Bai Yanweng was not in Jiangcheng, but I didn't know why Shirley Yang was in such a hurry, why didn't she stay in Jiangcheng and wait for me to come and meet me.Xiao Zhao continued: "But later, they finally found a Miao Orion who was willing to lead the way. This was told by the sister Lihua who sells wine at the front desk, and she can't be wrong. She also said that Orion is a regular customer, and he The family village is ten miles outside of Fuxian Lake, called Yuemiao Village, and it is three days' journey from Jiangcheng." I hugged Xiao Zhao fiercely, took out a ticket and handed it to him: "This news is too important, see if you can find another guide to guide us, then go to Yuemiao Village." Xiao Zhao was startled and said, "Leave now?" He glanced at the three of us, shook his head and said, "There are so many wolves and jackals on the mountain at this time of year. There are so few of you, it's too dangerous to walk at night. A good guide will not joke about the lives of guests for money." Lin Kui agreed with his point of view: "You have never seen the beasts here, so you don't know how powerful they are. Many experienced hunters have lost their lives in this mountainous area outside. I think we should take a good night's rest today. Tomorrow, I will let the shopkeepers The buddy is going to contact you to see if there are any big caravans in the village who are resting and want to leave, and I will just give you a ride." Xiao Zhao suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Oh, how could I forget this. Uncle Tie is here, and Uncle Tie's team is downstairs." Lin Kui suddenly laughed when he heard the name, and kept saying good luck to me.I was confused by him and Xiao Zhao, and asked him who Uncle Atie was.Xiao Zhao curled his lips: "I haven't even heard of Uncle Atie's name. At first glance, he looks like a bumpkin from the city. He is a great hero of the caravan, and the most famous horse pot head in Shizhai Jiugou. As long as Uncle Atie takes over I’ve even been to Ghost Burial Ridge! However, someone has already hired Uncle Atie to deliver the goods, and he’s drinking next door, so I’m afraid he won’t be able to take you to Yuemiao Village.” Ma Guotou is the honorific name for the leader of the caravan.The person who is called the head of the pot is the head of the caravan, and all actions must be under his command.Before liberation, the transportation facilities were backward, and many roads were impassable for ordinary people.Food and clothing in many places are all transported by caravans.The most famous ancient tea-horse road in history is a road of natural moat that was walked inch by inch by the children of caravans with their horseshoes and feet.As soon as I heard that such a strange person rested in Jiangcheng, I couldn't help but want to visit him.But when he heard that he was eating wine next door, his heart skipped a beat and he fought a war. It's not such a coincidence, is it? I asked Xiao Zhao: "Is that Uncle Atie drinking with a Han man wearing a mink fur hat?" "Hey? How do you know, you saw it?" I thought to myself that it was bad luck, and Yang Erpi really took the lead.I said how could that old man be so polite to ordinary people? It turned out that he was entertaining Ma Guotou - Uncle A Tie. Siyan didn't know that I met an acquaintance outside before, so he asked me what was going on.I told him about Yang Erpi's stay in Jiangcheng, and introduced to Lin Kui the little grievances back then.Both of them sighed: "Master Hu, your character is really not so bad, you specialize in making such confusing moths." "Then what should we do, go over to rob people and ruin Yang Erpi's place?" Although I didn't deal with Yang Erpi very much from the bottom of my heart, the scene was fine.They are all people running on the road, they don't see them when they look up, if they really go to grab the market and win business at this moment, then it will be my fault to spread the word.After all, people who do business are all about first come, first served. The four eyes pinched their lips and smiled, and came up with another idea: "Everyone got to know each other for a while, let's go over and say hello first, see if it's possible, and let someone give us a lift. If it's not possible, it's not too late to make other plans. " I thought in my heart that Yang Erpi's black-hearted business would be a ghost if he was willing to bring us into the team.But also unwilling to give up.Lin Kui got up and said, "Uncle Ah Tie and I still have friendship. Let's go and have a look. It's not too much to say hello. As for whether I can take you for a ride, that's not necessarily the case. It's good to know another friend. Even if he can't take you into the seedlings himself, at least he can introduce other guides, which is better than you wandering around by yourself." I said this is also the same reason. As the saying goes, we rely on friends when we go out. We don't know the place well in Jiangcheng. If we want to go to Yuemiao Village to find Shirley Yang's whereabouts, we can only rely on these local snakes.So I asked Xiao Zhao to inform first, saying that the people from the Lin Family Cottage wanted to disturb Uncle Ah Tie's elegance. "I annoy you fake polite ones the most!" Not a while after Xiao Zhao went in, he heard a sound like thunder in the private room next door, followed by a "bang", and our door opened in response.A strong man like an Iron Buddha came in with a laugh, pointed at Lin Kui and scolded, "You bastard, you've been hiding next door for so long, you don't even know how to fart. You really don't think of me as a brother." Seeing that Uncle Ah Tie has such a bold personality, unlike Yang Erpi, a cunning profiteer, I was relieved. "Iie Guotou is talking about business. Who dares to twist his beard in front of a tiger. Come on, let me introduce you. These two are my friends in Nanjing. I am looking for someone in Jiangcheng. Guotou, you have to sell me a thin noodle this time. Give them a hand." "Lin Tsai's friend is my old friend. Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. What are you looking for..." Just as he was talking, an extremely discordant mink fur hat appeared outside the door.As soon as I saw Yang Erpi's probe, I shrank to the side.Unexpectedly, this old guy's eyes were sharp, and his gaze was fixed on my face all of a sudden.I had no choice but to smirk, ready to reach out and hold him.Unexpectedly, his face changed, as if he didn't see me, he only said to Uncle Atie: "Guotou, we only drank half of it, why did you run out?" The iron pot head general waved his hand: "These are my old friends, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Hahaha, if Boss Yang doesn't mind, let's come and have a drink together." His words swept Yang Erpi's face to the end, I was really afraid that this desperate old mink would turn his face on the spot.Sure enough, when Yang Erpi heard Tieguotou's words, his expression immediately fell, his wrinkled old face turned livid.I hurried forward, held his hand, and shook it excitedly: "Oh, Comrade Yang, this is really an old friend in a foreign land, and nectar after the rain. I am lucky to meet you in this place. what!" Tie Guotou asked Yang Erpi in surprise: "Do you know this little brother?" Yang Erpi frowned, pulled out his hand coldly, and replied, "I haven't seen it before." For a moment, everyone looked at me as if I was mentally retarded. I couldn't figure out why he pretended not to know me, and cursed in my heart: "Fuck me, sir, you're insane!"
