Chapter 45 Forty-fourth trip

In the imagination of Xiaofang and "Sunshine", "Huabula" should of course be a tall, strong, fair and serious person. They were wrong. Huabula is a short man, maybe not too short at first, but his life in the saddle for many years has made his legs very bent, looking like a circle, and he always walks unsteadily, looking like a It looked ridiculous. So he always sits on a high chair, and when he looks at people with a pair of squinted eyes, there is always a cruel and mocking expression in his eyes, just like a naughty boy looking at someone who has been tied up by him with a rope. A cat is like a cat looking at a mouse under its paws.

Fortunately, he still has a pair of big hands. His hands were wide, big, thick, and hard, and when placed on the table, they looked like an axe, which could cut the table in half at once. Perhaps it was because of these hands that people had to fear and respect him. Another advantage of this person is that he rarely speaks, and what he wants to say is said for him by the "big cigarette bag". When Xiaofang and "Sunshine" saw Huabula, there was already a couple in his guest room. A couple like Xiaofang and the others had to work hard day and night in order to survive.

They are not young anymore, the husband is at least 30 to 40 years old, and the wife is also in her twenties. The husband's face has been carved with traces of hard work, and the wife always keeps her head down and dare not look at others. When the husband handed over the twenty-five taels of silver for the travel expenses, the wife was so nervous that her fingertips trembled, because they had never paid such a huge sum of money in their life. In their eyes, the value of the twenty-five taels of silver was definitely much greater than the three hundred thousand taels of gold in Lu San's eyes.

Xiao Fang didn't know their names until the next day—the husband's name was Zhao Qun, and his wife's surname was Hu, so they were called Zhao Hu's. After an ordinary, shy woman gets married, she has no name. Xiao Fang never thought that this ordinary and well-behaved couple would be the ones who had the greatest influence on his life and that of "Sunshine". From a certain point of view, it could even be said that they changed their lives. Huabula looked very impatient. For him, no matter where to sit, it is far less comfortable than sitting in the saddle. But when Big Yandai asked Xiaofang and "Sunshine" a few simple questions for him, and told them to go back to their room, Huabula asked them to "wait".

He suddenly asked Xiao Fang: "Have you ever practiced martial arts?" "No." Xiao Fang replied immediately: "Even though I have practiced the crop style for a few days, it can't be counted as practicing martial arts." "Do you have anything with you?" Huabula asked again. "No." "Not even a knife?" "No." Huabula looked at Xiao Fang, a warm and treacherous smile suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she suddenly pulled out a dagger from her body. "You'd better take this dagger with you." He handed the dagger to Xiao Fang: "Your wife is not too old, and there are all kinds of people in our team. Walking on the road, can you be careful or not?" Be careful."

"That person is not a good person." Once back in the room, "Sunshine" whispered to Xiao Fang: "He is definitely not a good person." Xiao Fang had to admit that when Huabula smiled, she did look a little malicious. Fortunately, "Sunshine" is no longer the bright and beautiful blue sunshine. Even Zhao Hu looks much more pleasing to the eye than her. The couple lived next door to them. They lived in the cheapest small inn, and there was almost nothing in the room except an earthen kang and a group of bedbugs. The twenty-five taels of silver travel expenses also included board and lodging, so of course they couldn't ask for too much.

What's more, the kang is always hot. At this time, it is very good to have a hot kang to sleep on. They just wish they could fall asleep quickly. None of them fell asleep. Just as they were about to go to sleep, a strange noise suddenly sounded in the next room. At first, they couldn't tell what the sound was. But the sound became louder and lasted for a long time, and the two rooms were only separated by a thin wall. If they were children, they might still not be able to tell what the sound was. Unfortunately, they are no longer children. Xiao Fang suddenly felt hot all over his body.

He never thought that such a well-behaved and shy woman would make such a sound when doing this with her husband. Maybe it's just because their daily life is too monotonous, and when they suddenly change to a new environment and go to a strange place, it's inevitable that they will be a little presumptuous. Everyone has times when they cannot control themselves, but some people must control themselves even at such times. Xiao Fang closed his eyes and dared not even move his whole body. He wants Sunshine to think he is asleep. "Sunshine" didn't move either, did she also hope that Xiao Fang thought she was asleep?

In the morning, the sun is everywhere. Before dawn, Xiao Fang got up, took a cold bath with a bucket of cold water that was frozen with ice, and ran seventeen or eighteen circles along the hillside outside the small inn. When he came back, "Sunshine" had already packed his luggage, he looked at Sunshine and smiled, and Sunshine also looked at him and smiled, no one knew if the other party fell asleep last night. No matter how difficult the night was, they had finally passed it. The couple returned to their well-behaved and honest appearance, and the shy wife still kept her head down and dared not see anyone.

Xiao Fang and "Sunshine" didn't dare to look at her, for fear that when they saw her, they would think of her voice last night and couldn't help laughing. What's terrible is that the four of them were assigned to a donkey cart. The cart was small and narrow, and the four of them were nose to nose, eyes to eyes, and they couldn't see it. When eating at noon, the couple actually shared some of the dishes they cooked with Xiaofang and "Sunshine". In addition to fried pork jerky with chili peppers, there was even a little "scallion puree" that Tibetans like most.

This kind of "scallion puree" made of wild onions, broad-leaved leeks and red garlic, which are special products at the foot of Mount Everest, is simply a supreme delicacy for people in the Tibetan area, and they will never take it out lightly. guest. The couple seemed to come here to apologize to Xiao Fang and "Sunshine" specifically to make up for the sleep they lost last night. Xiao Fang only hoped that they could sleep peacefully when they boarded tonight. Xiao Fang was disappointed again. That night, he and "Sunshine" were assigned to be next door to them again, and they were punished miserably again. This couple has far more energy than they appear to have. If Xiaofang and "Sunshine" were also a couple, this problem could be easily resolved. Too bad they are not. It never occurred to them that this matter would become the greatest trouble in their journey.It was even more unexpected that such an honest and shy woman would turn into a fatal stunner at night. On the third night, Xiao Fang suddenly took out three dice and said to Sunshine, "Let's roll the dice." "Roll the dice?" Sunshine asked, "What do you want to bet with me?" "Whoever loses will sleep in the car outside tonight." The loser is of course Xiao Fang, he played tricks on the dice, he would rather sleep in the car. He fell asleep. "Sunshine" still couldn't sleep. Although the voice next door had temporarily quieted down, she remembered many things, many things she shouldn't have thought about. Just then, she heard someone pushing the door. Her heartbeat quickened immediately. ——Is Xiao Fang back? no. It was another person who came, she couldn't see this person's face clearly, but as long as she saw those bowed legs, she knew who it was. "Sunshine" jumped up. "What are you doing here?" "Come to accompany you." Huabula stared at her, with a ferocious smile in her eyes: "I know your husband is useless, so I came here to accompany you." "Sunshine" grasped the quilt. "I don't want you to accompany me." She was really nervous: "If you don't leave, I will call you!" "Your name? Who is it? Your husband?" Huabula grinned, "What's the use of calling him here?" He stretched out a pair of iron-axe-like hands, grabbed a teacup, squeezed it lightly, and it shattered. "Does your husband have the kung fu like mine?" Huabula asked with a sinister smile. "Sunshine" only shook his head. Now they are just an ordinary couple, of course they don't have such efforts.She must not reveal her identity. But Huabula has already walked over step by step, almost reaching her bedside. "If you dare to shout, I will gag your mouth. When your husband comes, I will crush him to death." It seemed that he was determined not to let her go. Now she is no longer a blue sun, now she is just a dark and ugly woman, how could Huabula have a crush on her? "Sunshine" was anxious, angry and strange, Huabula had already moved across her body, and a pair of big hands were stretched out to tear her clothes. He didn't grab her, but a bundle. "Sunshine" stepped back into the bed, grabbed the bundle, and threw it over. Her clothes were not torn, but the bag was scratched, and something fell out of the bag and fell to the ground. Huabula suddenly showed a fearful expression on her face, she turned around and ran away suddenly, as if she had seen a ghost suddenly, without looking back, she immediately ran away without a trace.
